Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 406
"So, brother, you are suspicious. Xiongying's nephew is jealous of civil servants, so..." Zhu Su's eyes widened.

"Although it is whimsical, it must be guarded against." Zhu Biao said very solemnly.He caught a glimpse of the surprise on Zhu Su's face, and said, "Fifth Brother, don't you think it's unfounded to worry about being a brother? You haven't become a father yet, and you don't know what it means to be a father."

"Although there is only a trace of possibility... But even so, we should completely rule out this unstable factor." Zhu Biao said.

"Your sister-in-law is a daughter of the Chang family, and Xiongying is born of a noble daughter. If he succeeds in the future, he will naturally have to rely on his natal family."

"If that's the case, when will civil servants be able to overwhelm Xungui?"

"At this time, Xiongying fell ill and was seriously ill. My brother also lost his concubine long ago, and the second concubine who also gave birth to a concubine for my brother is a woman of the civil servant line..."

Zhu Su was shocked when he heard that, Zhu Biao suspected that Zhu Xiongying's "early death" was due to the efforts of the civil servants to push Zhu Yunqi from the top position.He was about to bluntly say that this conclusion was too much a conspiracy theory, but when he thought about it, who would dare to assert the truth about the conspiracy involving the Tian family since ancient times?

From Hu Hai's killing of relatives in Qin Dynasty to Xuanwu Gate in Tang Dynasty.Then there was the sound of the ax and the shadow of candles in the Song Dynasty, and the sudden death of Meng Ge in the Yuan Dynasty.Familiar things are too numerous to enumerate. Who can guarantee that Zhu Xiongying's death is not another deep conspiracy hidden behind the history books?

You must know that Chang had been dead for four years when Zhu Xiongying died.Lu's family has become the crown princess, and her son Zhu Yunqi is also five years old.Even if the civil servant's assassination is a bit of nonsense, is it possible that Lu's hands were willing to take risks in order to let his own son take the position?

What is hidden in it, anyway, Zhu Su dare not say for sure.

But Zhu Su also felt a little strange.After all, this kind of thinking is still extreme, and it doesn't seem like my lenient elder brother can deduce it.After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother, why do you doubt your own 'cause of death'?"

"Brother has always been close to the civil servants and is regarded as a benevolent king. Even if the civil servants wanted to plot against you, they probably wouldn't attack you..."

"Although Biao'er is close to the civil servants, he is even closer to his vassal brothers. Besides, all our old brothers are Biao'er's uncles, and they all support Biao'er. How can those civil servants not be afraid?" Old Zhu suddenly Pushing open the door from the outside and coming in, Zhu Biao and Zhu Su were startled and stood up quickly.

"Father!" "Father..."

"Sit down." Lao Zhu went to the table and sat down.Zhu Biao and Zhu Su also sat down.Zhu Biao said: "Has the father finished the discussion? Is there a way to solve the shortage of the national treasury?"

"Shanchang has figured out a way." Old Zhu Niu took a sip of tea and said.

Hearing this, Zhu Su suddenly realized, no wonder Li Shanchang appeared among the courtiers today, it turned out that it was the old Zhu who specially asked him to ask him something.

That's right, Li Shanchang has always been called Xiao He of Ming Dynasty, and the treasury is short of money, Lao Zhu must ask him.

"Let's talk about you and Xiongying first." Old Zhu turned to look at Zhu Su. "Fifth, what do you think of what we just said?"

"...It makes sense." Zhu Su could only nod his head.Now he also figured it out.Zhu Biao suddenly had such an idea, he must have been influenced by Lao Zhu.

When I explained to Lao Zhu that Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao and Ming Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao, Lao Zhu expressed 12 doubts about the "falling into the water" of the two Ming emperors on the spot.

Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, was the emperor who personally slashed people in battle.Can ride a horse and draw a bow; Ming Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao, although he has never cut people, he likes to do carpentry.But who can do this kind of work, who is weak?

How can there be any reason why it will melt directly when it falls into the water?

Afterwards, the civil officials still recorded in many places in Mingshilu that the two emperors "coughed a lot on weekdays" and "weakness" and so on.It looks even more pretentious.

Moreover, the two emperors died in exactly the same way!

How could Lao Zhu not doubt this?
Old Zhu didn't trust these officials very much, and it is understandable to project his scrutiny and suspicion on the officials of the current dynasty.

Even "farfetched" Zhu Biao's death and Zhu Xiongying's early death were also related to these civil servants. This is indeed a way of thinking that echoes the old Zhu's usual style...

No wonder Zhu Biao suddenly thought so, it turned out that he was influenced by Old Zhu... Zhu Su's mind can be regarded as turning the clouds and seeing the sun.

"Since that's the case, Dad, you can find an opportunity to take care of the rest of the officials. Why bother asking me to serve as a sacrifice to the Imperial College?" Zhu Su said helplessly.

"Guozijian...there are all rotten Confucians there. And I am the master who wrote "Luan Yu"."

"With such a criminal record, how can those students in the Imperial College be convinced by me? If I make sacrificial wine, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything next to the Yushitai. They will stare at me every day, hoping to impeach me like a sieve." That's it."

"We knew you wanted to be lazy again!" Old Zhu glared. "Letting your elder brother tell you so much is to let you know the weight of this responsibility and teach you not to slack off."

"Why have you been so lazy for so long?"

"We can get rid of all those stupid officials. But after that, who should be in charge to rule the world for us? Isn't it those Confucian scholars?"

"Didn't we do this in history, but after a few generations, those civil servants still do whatever they want?"

"Those literati have always thought of 'growth and governance' in their bones. If we don't extinguish these thoughts of these Confucian scholars, how can we feel at ease?"

"Father, you mean..." Zhu Su finally came to his senses. "You want me to tear down the corners of Confucianism in Guozijian, and cultivate civil officials who won't just want to seize power?"

Zhu Laowu was taken aback!
Dig down Confucianism!Is that what ordinary people can do?It is necessary to know that Confucianism has taken root in China for thousands of years, and it cannot be replaced overnight.

Moreover, Confucian culture has long been fully integrated with China's spiritual inheritance and so on.If Confucianism is forcibly separated, will China still be China?
Even in later generations, there are one or two officials who regard the Analects of Confucius written by their ancestors as their standard.

"No prospect!" Seeing Zhu Su's panicked face, Old Zhu cursed. "What kind of time traveler are you, with a head full of weird knowledge, why can't you start a sect and form a family of your own?"

"We have already paved the way for you. Now that you have a reputation and achievements, and we are backing you up, what can't be done for a mere Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine?"

"As we said before, our old Zhu's family will also produce a saint! When the time comes, the students from all over the world will learn from our old Zhu's family."

"Let's take a look. At that time, which big turban will dare to offend the emperor of my Zhu family?"

Old Zhu's words were astonishing.
