Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Master Hu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang speechlessly: "Your Majesty, you are planning to throw the jar into the ground and don't want any reputation at all, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled when he heard this, waved away Song Li who was approaching him, poured a cup of tea for Master Hu himself, and then spoke leisurely.

"It doesn't mean that we don't want fame at all!"

"I've figured it out. After all, I'm a founding emperor, right?"

"We have achieved all the merits we deserve!"

"Add to that the merit of abdication, and I'm sure that we won't be labeled as a tyrant anymore."

"As long as he's not a tyrant, then it's fine!"

"I don't care whether he is a tyrant or not!"

"The old Lin family can only write a few unofficial histories at best. Can he stop the world from talking nonsense?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously very proud of his choice and arrangement.

But Master Hu sighed and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, your idea seems to be fine on the surface."

"After all, one can't change all the books in the world!"

"But you underestimate those scholars."

"You killed a large number of people in Jiumu Lin and reduced a thousand-year-old family to dust. What do you think the other Wenhua families will think?"

"They won't think you are making an example of someone, but they will think you are too arrogant and too persecuting!"

"For this reason, they will unite against the enemy and use all their efforts to find faults, spread rumors, and distort the inheritance process, and throw dirty water on you as much as possible!"

When Master Hu said this, he leaned back with deep emotion and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was silent.

"This makes you, Zhu Yuanzhang, look like a tyrant. How can their reputations be good?"

"The key point is, if you, Zhu Yuanzhang, have a good reputation, how can they publicize their good reputation in front of the world in the future?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a while, then he looked at Master Hu with a frown.

"What you said does make sense, Weiyong, but how can they do it?"

"After all, this world belongs to our Zhu family. We can't make everyone in the world listen to us, so how can they do it?"

"Whose world is this?"

Master Hu spread his hands and said, "In name, it is of course your Zhu family's world, but in reality, aren't the ones who control the world's discourse power these scholars and families?"

"Think about it, according to the current school system, all the people in the world who need to read and write are taught by them."

"If they keep saying that you, Zhu Yuanzhang, are not good at this or that, it's fine for one or two days, one or two years, but what if it's ten or a hundred years?"

"This matter, which was fake, has become true!"

"Let alone the unofficial history, even the official history of the Ming Dynasty was revised by these people anyway. When they use the writing style of the Spring and Autumn Period and add some things from the unofficial history, who wouldn't be confused after a hundred years?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent again.

He didn't expect that Master Hu would give him such an explanation.

The point is, this explanation makes so much sense.

Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips, silently picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then looked up at Master Hu.

Seeing that Master Hu stopped talking, he lowered his head and took another sip.

When he looked up again, Master Hu still didn't say anything, and Zhu Yuanzhang continued to slouch.

As a result, he suddenly realized at this moment that, uh, he had been too aggressive just now.

The cup was not big to begin with, so it was finished in just a few sips, and the cup was completely empty.

Zhu Yuanzhang then raised his head and looked at Master Hu again: "Weiyong, can this be solved?"

Master Hu nodded as a matter of course: "It can be broken!"

"It's not that difficult!"

"Didn't I tell you before? The Royal Academy trains you from a young age!"

"You chose the teachers and teaching materials yourself, and trained the talents according to your requirements. How could they not be on your side?"

"Moreover, the key is that not only does your title of the Emperor's disciple sound good, but you can also teach some useful knowledge."

"Isn't this much better than studying hard for more than a decade but only knowing how to write official articles?"

After hearing what Master Hu said, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent again, with a long face.

"You make it easy!"

"It's not that easy!"

"We kill people, but we do it because we are justified."

"But if you open schools, teach and educate people, and still call yourself a student of the emperor, then you are a traitor."

"Then it's a fight to the death!"

Mr. Hu was happy to hear this.

"Tsk, no, my majesty, you have come to this point, do you still want to negotiate it out?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"We all understood one thing back then: either don't do it, or do it to the extreme."

"You want both, what do you want?"

"Isn't this just like neither a human being nor a human being?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face became even darker.

He glared at Master Hu angrily and said, "If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak."

"how?"

"Now that I'm about to cease to be emperor, you don't take me seriously anymore, right?"

If other people heard this, they would probably have fallen to the ground and apologized.

But to Mr. Hu's ears, it really didn't hurt at all.

"Okay, I'll give you some advice. If you think it's good, then think about how to use it. If you think it doesn't work, then just pretend you didn't hear it."

"how?"

"What does this have to do with whether you are the emperor or not?"

"Could it be that you are no longer the emperor and the throne has been given to the prince? Will you no longer be able to make decisions on state affairs in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, leaned forward twice, hooked his arm around Master Hu's shoulder and said with a smile.

"It has to be you, Weiyong, it has to be you who can see clearly!"

"That's the truth of this matter."

"Actually, we just want Biaoer to handle these matters legitimately!"

"I abdicated, not died. Why do those people think my words are useless?"

Mr. Hu didn't think anything was wrong at first, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong.

"No, Your Majesty, why do you sound like you have some hidden meaning in your words?"

"Are you secretly attacking me again?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you want to ask something, just ask it. Don't do this. It scares me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled even more brightly when he heard this: "Well, why don't you order something?"

"I am the emperor. If I point a finger at you, you should think about whether you have done something wrong."

Master Hu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a sidelong look and said, "I just dislike your poor method of selecting people."

"You can't order a seat, you can't order a job, and you blame others for not figuring it out!"

"So, I just asked directly, what do you mean?"

"If you have something to say, just tell me. If you don't, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said just now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips, feeling somewhat speechless.
