Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Yan Nangui just laughed it off at Zhu Li's words.

In fact, from his point of view, there is no possibility of refusal at all. Zhu Li is not only the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but also the founder of Taoism today. He has no right to refuse what he says!

To put it bluntly, Zhu Li was able to be polite to him, which was also giving face to Yan Nangui!

If someone gives you face, you have to accept it. If you can't accept it, then the only option is to break up with them!

Yan Nangui does not have and will not have that kind of courage!

"These are some pills I prepared for the fourth brother. They have the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit!"

"Just pass it to the Fourth Brother for me!"

Zhu Li then took out a bottle of medicine that he had specially made and handed it to Yan Nangui.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to do so!"

Yan Nangui took the bottle of pills and put it close to his body.

"I don't know what to give you after this journey of thousands of miles!"

"This bottle of medicine is for you. It will also be helpful for you to improve your cultivation!"

"There is also a life-extending pill, take it too!"

Zhu Li then took out two bottles of pills and handed them directly to Yan Nangui.

This time, Yan Nangui finally showed an expression of being moved!

He had not expected to get pills that could improve his cultivation level and pills that could extend his life!

It seems that this choice I made was not a bad one!

"Your Majesty, I won't bargain with you on price. I'll take these pills!"

"I will take care of the rest for you, don't worry!"

Yan Nangui simply couldn't resist the temptation of these two bottles of pills, or rather, he knew that Zhu Li was using these two bottles of pills to win people's hearts, but he was still willing to make the deal!

And just like that, Yan Nangui left.

Perhaps after this departure, he may not be able to return to the Ming Dynasty again in his lifetime, but this may be the price he needs to pay and his final destination!

Or maybe a hundred years later, when Yan Nangui returns to the Ming Dynasty again, he will be a handful of ashes!

"Father, have you ever thought about letting the eldest brother and the fourth brother come back?"

Just as Zhu Li was standing on the palace gate tower watching Yan Nangui's departure, Crown Prince Zhu Xiaqiu appeared beside him.

"That's not necessary!"

"Remember, what you need to think about now is how to govern the entire Ming Dynasty!"

"Da Ming is developing, and the eldest and fourth are also developing on their own!"

"They may come back, but they may come back in a different way!"

“You have to be well prepared for this!”

Zhu Li shook his head and instructed Zhu Xiaqiu in a very serious tone.

These words were actually quite straightforward. They were meant to remind Zhu Xiaqiu that when Zhu Xiaye and Zhu Xiafeng came back, they might not be alone, nor would they come back to reunite, but they might bring thousands of troops with them, perhaps for the legitimate throne!

"Ah...I understand!"

Zhu Xiaqiu sighed helplessly, then nodded with a wry smile.

Today, the Ming Dynasty has entered a true era of prosperity, an era of rapid development!

The threats from outside have almost all been eradicated, but Zhu Li is well aware that there are internal worries amidst our prosperous times!

People like Zhu Xiafeng and Zhu Xiaye might be able to wait and control themselves, but the generals and heroes under their command are beginning to get impatient!

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away; the sky is high and the birds can fly freely!

There are some things he can't stop, nor does he want to stop.

Zhu Li ignored Zhu Xiaqiu who was sighing and turned around and left.

Zhu Li had just finished his retreat and did not enter it again. He planned to wait for a few days, focusing on caring about his grandson Zhu Jiantang's academic performance.

Today, Zhu Jiantang is almost being trained by Zhu Li as the future crown prince!

And this grandson did not disappoint Zhu Li, he was very smart and capable!

"Grandpa Emperor, what are you thinking about?"

In the Imperial Garden, Zhu Jiantang, who had just finished his homework, found Zhu Li staring at the sky in the distance, and couldn't help but step forward and ask curiously.

"Nothing, Grandpa Huang is just thinking about the future!"

"Have you finished your homework?"

Zhu Li came back to his senses, looked at the well-behaved and sensible Zhu Jiantang, and asked with a smile.

"Well, it's done!"

"Grandpa Emperor, what are you thinking about in the future?"

"You don't care about the government affairs anyway. Isn't it Second Uncle who is taking care of the affairs of the court?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiantang began to ask more questions in a serious manner.

Zhu Yue: "..."

Although this is the truth, why does it sound a bit weird?

It was as if he, as the father, was a complete hands-off boss, putting all the responsibilities on Zhu Xiaqiu!

But if you think about it carefully, it is really the case.

He had a lot of free time during this period, but Zhu Xiaqiu had a hard time as he couldn't rest for a single day!

"Grandpa Huang is thinking, when Grandpa Huang is no longer the emperor, who should the throne be passed on to?"

Zhu Li looked at his grandson in front of him, then began to explain seriously.

"Of course it should be handed over to Second Uncle. Isn't he the crown prince?"

"And he is the Crown Prince Regent!"

Zhu Jiantang didn't have so many thoughts on this, but spoke as a matter of course.

"Why not your father?"

Zhu Yue asked again.

"My father is not the crown prince. Doesn't the emperor always pass the throne to the heir apparent?"

Zhu Li's question made Zhu Jiantang confused. Why would his grandfather, the emperor, pass the throne to his father who had never been involved in state affairs?

In his opinion, this is just nonsense!

"Sometimes, the throne may not necessarily be passed to the crown prince!"

"What if Grandpa Huang passes the throne directly to you?"

"Can you be a good emperor?"

Zhu Li shook his head without comment, and then asked Zhu Jiantang further.

"Let your grandson be the emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiantang widened his eyes in shock!

Zhu Jiantang is only fifteen years old now. Although he is taller than the average adult, his face still looks very childish!

But he had never thought about this problem, nor did he expect that his grandfather would actually want to pass the throne of the Ming Dynasty to him!

"No, Grandfather Emperor, I don't have the ability like my uncle to manage a country as big as Ming!"

Zhu Jiantang quickly shook his head like a rattle!

"Then you know that your second uncle didn't have the ability to manage the entire Ming Dynasty from the beginning!"

"Skills are learned, and even more so, forced out!"

"Grandpa Emperor wants to train you to be the emperor in the future. Are you willing?"

Zhu Li, however, asked Zhu Jiantang again with a serious face.

According to the trajectory of historical development, the throne was originally going to be passed to Zhu Jiantang. Since some things cannot be changed, why not just make it clear!

He openly trained Zhu Jiantang as a crown prince.

Zhu Xiaqiu would naturally have no objection, and his biological father Zhu Xiarun would have even less objection!

"My grandson will obey Grandpa Huang's arrangement. If Grandpa Huang really wants me to be the emperor, then I will work hard to be a good emperor in the future!"

After listening to Zhu Li's words, Zhu Jiantang was not at all timid or panicked, and also showed an unyielding momentum!

The fact that he had never thought about becoming an emperor in the future has no necessary causal relationship with whether he had the ability or confidence to be a good emperor!

Zhu Jiantang also has this confidence. If he can really sit in that position, he will definitely not let his grandfather, the emperor, down!

"it is good!"

"This is my Zhu Li's grandson!"

"You must have the courage to shoulder the responsibility. The future of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be handed over to you!"

After hearing Zhu Jiantang's answer, Zhu Li was obviously quite satisfied.

"My grandson understands!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiantang nodded heavily.

He didn't know why his royal grandfather suddenly said that he wanted to pass the throne to him. Maybe he would really become the emperor one day in the future!

But that is something that will happen in the future, not now!

If there really comes such a day, he hopes that he can be a good emperor and not let his grandfather down!

So he must have more to learn and do now!

"If you understand, study hard. If you have any questions, you can ask Grandpa Huang or your second uncle!"

"From today on, after you finish your homework or return to the palace, you can go to your uncle and help him deal with things within your ability!"

"Tell Second Uncle that this is what Grandfather Huang meant, and he will teach you!"

Zhu Li nodded with satisfaction and gave instructions.

"Okay, Grandpa Emperor!"

Zhu Jiantang nodded again and agreed.

From this moment on, Zhu Jiantang had an additional mission and was officially trained as the future crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Xiaqiu naturally had no objection to this, and every time Zhu Jiantang came to see him, he would teach him his own ideas and methods of governing the country!

Who made the son she gave birth to have no thoughts or talents in this area?

He could only treat his nephew Zhu Jiantang as his own son and train him!

To some extent, Zhu Jiantang is even like Zhu Xiaqiu's half son, and Zhu Xiaqiu also has high hopes for him!

In fact, after Zhu Yuanzhang died, Zhu Li felt that there was nothing he could do!

It's nothing more than practicing in seclusion, and after coming out, he will personally teach Zhu Jiantang, the prince of Han!

The affairs of the imperial court are now handed over to Zhu Xiaqiu, and Zhu Li basically does not have to worry about anything. Zhu Xiaqiu, the prince regent, is becoming more and more familiar with state affairs. The rapid development of the Ming Dynasty today is also due to Zhu Xiaqiu!

Maybe at the beginning, Zhu Li still needs to personally control the general direction, but now Zhu Xiaqiu has the ability to take charge on his own. Even when formulating major strategic plans, Zhu Xiaqiu can complete it independently!

Perhaps among his four sons, the one who made Zhu Li most satisfied in terms of ability in governing the country was still Zhu Xiaqiu, and this was unshakable!

The most useless one is probably the third brother Zhu Xia Lun!

Even the taciturn fourth brother, Zhu Xiaye, is much better than Zhu Xialun in this regard!

Although the fourth brother Zhu Xiaye doesn't talk much on weekdays, he knows how to do things and does them very seriously!

Unlike Zhu Xiajun, who fishes for three days and rests his nets for two days, and is too lazy to even take care of his own fiefdom. Isn't it a joke to expect him to govern the country?

To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhu Xiajun was able to become emperor was because he had a good son, Zhu Jiantang!

He, as an emperor, was just a transitional emperor.

By then, Zhu Jiantang will become the second Zhu Xiaqiu. Although the emperor is still there, the one in charge must be the crown prince who is the regent!

Moreover, given Zhu Xiajun's personality, he would have certainly abdicated the throne to Zhu Jiantang very early, and then peacefully become his own emperor, doing whatever he wanted!

However, Zhu Li would not reject such an outcome. After all, Zhu Xiajun was not fit to be an emperor!

This is also the reason why he placed all his hopes on his grandson Zhu Jiantang and was willing to do his best to train this grandson!

Today, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast enough, but it is precisely because of this vast territory that many problems have arisen!

As time goes by, these problems will erupt sooner or later!

In Mobei and the west, Zhu Xiafeng and Zhu Xiaqiu were still able to maintain relative restraint, but their subordinates were ready to make a move!

Recalling the time when he traveled to the future with Zhu Yuanzhang and others, and thinking of the history he once knew, Zhu Li also knew that the current situation of the Ming Dynasty should be a mixture of advantages and disadvantages!

The disadvantage is that there are too many nationalities and even the skin colors are diverse.

Due to deep-seated reasons such as geography, culture and beliefs, it is almost impossible to achieve complete integration within the country!

The current state of surface fusion will not last long and will eventually fall apart!

Of course, there are disadvantages, but there are also advantages!

In the current situation, perhaps the only advantage is that the territory is large enough to allow the Ming Dynasty to occupy enough resources!

Wherever the sun and the moon shine, it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the destiny is on the side of the Zhu family!

Even if it eventually falls apart, the entire world is still controlled by the Zhu family!

Several Ming emperors were also Zhu Li's sons and grandsons...

In later generations, perhaps Zhu Zhiqin also saw this point, so he chose to exile so many ethnic groups and divide up so many disposable territories. In the end, only more than 60 ethnic groups were left. After the Ming Dynasty was reunified, the territory was not as large as before!

But maybe that’s the best outcome!

Each generation can only do what it should do. The Ming Dynasty seems to be peaceful now, but in fact it is because he Zhu Li is still alive and the crown prince Zhu Xiaqiu is also still alive.

Everything about Mobei's current construction still depends on the Crown Prince's mood.

Those who are not from my tribe must have different hearts!

Don’t think about holding everything in your hands, as long as you can hold the most important things, that’s enough!

If you are too greedy, you may not catch any!

ps: I’m sorry brothers, I had some urgent matters before, so I stopped updating for several days. From today on, I will resume normal updates. I’m sorry brothers!
