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

"After all, we have known about this since we were young, and we don't feel it's a surprise at all until now!"

"But, we are also descendants of the royal family, and we brothers are legitimate sons!"

"Since I was young, my father has asked me to learn this and that. Will all these skills be wasted in the future and I can only be an ordinary prince, being confined in the palace like a pig or a sheep for the rest of my life?"

"Father, I have no other thoughts about the throne, but can you please consider the matter of reducing the number of vassal states?"

The one who stood up and spoke at this time was King Qin Zhu Chong.

Although he doesn't seem to have a very good reputation in history, in fact, at this time and age, he was both civil and military.

It can even be said that these princes of the Zhu family all have some abilities.

I can’t say that he is much better than others, but he is definitely skilled.

However, these skills were acquired through hard work from childhood to adulthood.

With these abilities and the identity of a prince, and being in his teens and twenties, a passionate age, who wouldn't have the idea of ​​making great achievements?

But unfortunately, when they had prepared everything, they found that the opportunity was gone!

In the future, let alone leaving a name in history and realizing your ambitions, you won’t even be able to travel normally.

It is true that they were divided, but what was the result?

You can’t leave the palace, you can only stay inside!

How could this be the treatment that a descendant of a royal family, or a vassal king, deserve?

This isn't a proper prisoner!

They are just prisoners whose cell conditions are better.

And this imprisonment will last a lifetime!

How could they agree?

But...all these ideas finally fell on Zhu Yuanzhang.

If Zhu Yuanzhang says yes, then it’s okay!

Zhu Yuanzhang said no, which meant this road was blocked!

As soon as Prince of Qin Zhu Chong said this, the princes present all focused their attention on Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting for his answer.

But Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back with a sneer on his face, and looked up at the ceiling of the Jinshen Hall.

After a long while, he said quietly, "I never thought that the father and son would become enemies after getting along for too long!"

"I think I have never failed you since you were young. I have never missed anything that I should have given you or taught you."

"But now it seems that your wings have become stronger!"

poof...

All the princes knelt down.

Especially Zhu Chong who just spoke, at this moment he no longer looked as calm and composed as before.

Not to mention the layers of cold sweat on his forehead, just the way he was kneeling and trembling on the ground told you how frightened he was at the moment.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even look down.

"In fact, I have thought of many ways to pass on our family business."

"After all, if we fail, no one will be able to suppress you when we are gone. What if you rebel?"

"Will we not be able to rest in peace even after we die?"

"Don't you dare!"

All the princes dared not remain silent at this moment and quickly shouted out.

I dare not not shout!

Damn it, I have already said the words of rebellion, is today the time to confess?

The princes shouted so loudly, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all. Instead, he just talked to himself.

"But, no matter how much we think about it, we can't think of a fair enough solution!"

"After all, this throne can only be given to one person!"

"Moreover, for the stability of our Zhu family and the safety of the Ming Dynasty, we must not only support Biao'er, but also expand Biao'er's power as much as possible and eliminate some unstable factors in advance."

"So, we finally went after you kids!"

"We are the ones who took away your power!"

"If you blame me as your father for this, I admit it!"

"Don't you dare!"

The princes shouted loudly in unison.

The purpose is to quickly get rid of suspicion.

At this moment, these princes and dukes who usually acted high and mighty had lost all their former arrogance, and instead their faces were filled with fear.

They are afraid!

They were already afraid of their father, and now their father's behavior showed that he was obviously out of control. How could they not be afraid?

But Zhu Yuanzhang still maintained his previous look of looking up at the sky, muttering and sighing.

"Yeah, you wouldn't dare!"

"But you just don't dare, not that you can't!"

"Now that we are still here, you dare not rebel or complain, but what if we are gone?"

This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!

"Alas, this is the debt between father and son!"

All the princes were silent. Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang’s words really touched their hearts.

They are really unwilling to accept this.

Perhaps it is just unwillingness for the time being, but after a period of oppression and hardship, it will really take root and sprout and finally bear a fruit that it should not have.

Zhu Yuanzhang was well aware of this.

He stretched out a hand, slowly tapped the table a few times, and then spoke softly.

"Now that we have come to this point, it is useless to talk to you about the relationship between father and son."

"In this case, let's just follow the principle of monarch and subject!"

shuh...

All the princes raised their heads in horror and looked straight at Zhu Yuanzhang who was still looking up at the ceiling.

Obviously, no one expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would actually say such a thing.

Not caring about father and son, but only caring about monarch and minister?

Doesn't that mean that from now on there will be no more feelings to talk about, and it will only be about gains and losses?

Then aren't they doomed?

Because they can now sit in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and speak freely and talk big, all because of their background, because they have the surname Zhu.

Besides that, what do they have?

Their abilities are certainly good, but there are many people with good abilities in the world.

What are they?

Now, all the princes became anxious.

They never thought that discussing something with their father today would end up to this extent.

"Father, I was wrong. You can't disown me!"

"Father, I was blinded by greed and shouldn't have had such delusional thoughts. Please forgive me!"

"Father, my child..."

Listening to the waves of pleading, Zhu Yuanzhang's face looked calm and indifferent.

He slowly lowered his head, and his not-young, weathered face faced the princes directly.

The pair of tiger eyes that were originally half-open now shone with a little light like stars, staring at the people in front of him.

"If we consider your actions today based on the relationship between father and son, you are asking for the family property from me, your father."

"But if we look at the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, what you are doing is called forcing the emperor to abdicate!"

"Tell me, what should we do with you?"
