Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Seeing Zhu Tao's bewildered expression, Yao Guangxiao continued.

"Since you didn't report me, it means that you think I, an old monk, is still useful and can definitely help you."

Zhu Tao looked at Yao Guangxiao indifferently, shook his head and said.

"The old monk was wrong. My current status can be regarded as an extremely human minister. I have just been named the king of the county, served as the chief assistant, and have the power to appoint and dismiss officials below the fourth rank. I am afraid that no one except the crown prince Will be more powerful than me, what else can you help me?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled mysteriously and said to Zhu Tao.

"Because of this, I can help you rebel. You are now the king of the county and the chief assistant, and your power is already overwhelming, but after all, you still have Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang on your head. If you want to go further, you can only rebel, and I can help you."

After hearing this, Zhu Tao almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. This old guy is really persistent, so he simply told him clearly.

"Old monk, I'm not going to report you, just because I think you are a useful talent. I won't use you to rebel, but I want you to come out to be an official."

Yao Guangxiao didn't understand, but seeing Zhu Tao's serious look, he asked.

"Benefactor, you are not kidding me, my old monk does not want to be an official, I want to overthrow Daming and realize the dream of rebellion, other than that, I have no other ideas."

Zhu Tao smiled lightly, and answered Yao Guangxiao.

"Of course I didn't mess around with you. I asked His Majesty for the right to appoint and remove these official positions. It's actually for you. What's wrong with staying by my side as an official?"

Although Yao Guangxiao was taken aback for a moment, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

For Zhu Tao, he naturally admired him, but if he stayed with Zhu Tao, he would naturally be unable to rebel, which ran counter to his ideal.

"Of course I am very grateful to you for planning all this for me, but I can't promise you to stay by your side as an official now. After all, I can't rebel if I stay here."

Zhu Tao thought, this old monk is really persistent, he continued to talk to Yao Guangxiao.

"Anyway, it's a rebellion. It's different who you rebel against. I suggest that you rebel against Bei Yuan and wipe them out completely. You've made great achievements."

Yao Guangxiao thought about it carefully, and Zhu Tao's words seemed to make sense, but there was something wrong, so he said.

"Benefactor, you have planned this plan too perfectly, what else do I need to plan? According to your trade sanctions policy, Beiyuan will definitely be destroyed."

Zhu Tao smiled mysteriously and said to Yao Guang.

"Siege of cities and territory is not a good person; it is good to subjugate soldiers without fighting; attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top. My conspiracy can only destroy their bodies and forms, but cannot enslave their hearts." Body and mind, like this, still need you, old monk, to work hard."

Yao Guangxiao was naturally a little puzzled by this, and asked quickly.

"Maybe please ask the owner to explain clearly, the old monk still doesn't understand very well."

Zhu Tao smiled lightly and replied.

"There is a branch of Buddhism called Esoteric Buddhism, that is, lamas. They are very popular in the grasslands. You can go there and use the name of religion to brainwash and enslave them."

After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but agree, although he really despises Tantrism, thinking that it's just a crooked way, not a Buddhist disciple at all.

But in fact, countless large temples have been built on the grassland, all of which are Lama temples.

These lama temples look like places of Buddhism, but they are actually big landlords one by one. The grassland herdsmen are very excited and donate all their savings to the temples to support these monks.

Even the nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty enshrined a lama in their homes, and they ate and drank his food, and even their female relatives could be offered, which was very pious.

Although Yao Guangxiao understood this strategy, it was still difficult to implement it.

"The power of Tantrism is already very strong on the grassland. I'm just a disciple of Buddhism in the Central Plains, and I'm not a good monk. I'm afraid I won't be able to integrate there."

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a question of whether there is a common topic. Esoteric Buddhism despises Central Plains Buddhism, and so does Central Plains Buddhism.

The two are together, and it is already a good thing if they don't pinch each other. This is more or less the meaning of literati.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Tao looked at Yao Guangxiao and said seriously.

"I didn't ask you to integrate into them as a disciple of Central Plains Buddhism, but you just pretend to be a person of Tantric Buddhism. As for how to get close to them, I have already figured out a way for you."

Yao Guangxiao didn't understand what Zhu Tao's method was, but because of his understanding of the benefactor, he knew it must be a good strategy.

"I would like to hear the details, please give the poor monk a detailed account."

Zhu Tao also smiled slightly, and replied.

"It's actually very simple. Have you heard of the caste system in Tianzhu? If you introduce these caste systems to these tantric lamas, they will naturally be very popular."

After hearing Zhu Tao's words, Yao Guangxiao didn't understand. He just knew that the caste system actually divided people into three, six, or nine classes. The top class is lamas, the next class is emperors and officials, and the third class is ordinary herdsmen. , and at the bottom are slaves and untouchables.

Seeing that Yao Guangxiao was in a daze, Zhu Tao continued to explain.

"Actually, it's very simple. This system is actually to protect the interests of these old lamas. After the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, these tantric forces that have been suppressed under the imperial power have already begun to be unconvinced. You take this system over. They will become the real rulers of the grassland, so there is no reason not to welcome you!"

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao finally understood that such a system, how could the Tantric masters not welcome it?
If I bring such a system to the past, I will of course become my own person.

"What do you mean, to let these grassland people completely give up struggling, not think about making progress in their current destiny, and completely obey?"

Zhu Tao smiled. It seems that the old monk has fully understood his thoughts. After all, as long as these people believe in the caste system, they will completely give up resistance and enterprising spirit.

"Killing is worse than killing one's heart! In less than three or two generations, Bei Yuan will completely become a slave mentally and be ruled by me, Ming!"

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help being surprised again. Although this plan was vicious, it was the same as the trading strategy, and it could be regarded as a top-notch conspiracy.

It also has a characteristic, that is, even if it is completely seen through, it cannot be cracked, because those speakers will carry on without hesitation.
