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

After spending some time with his grandson Zhu Jiantang, Zhu Li once again entered a state of seclusion.

Now that he has no distractions, the time he spends in seclusion is more casual than before, and it is common for him to stay in seclusion for several months!

During this period, after being encouraged by Zhu Li, Zhu Jiantang apparently began to consciously learn how to govern the country. Whenever he had time, he would go to his second uncle Zhu Xiaqiu to raise some of his own questions or opinions on state affairs.

Zhu Xiaqiu really likes this ambitious and studious nephew from the bottom of his heart. He consciously shares his experience with him and also listens to some of his so-called opinions and views.

At least it’s a good thing that the child has this ambition, and we should not discourage the child’s enthusiasm!

Even though some of the opinions put forward by Zhu Jiantang may seem too immature or have no practical significance to Zhu Xiaqiu, he still exchanged his opinions patiently.

At the same time, Zhu Xiaqiu would also feel sad in his heart, why is it that the little boy in his family is not as motivated and studious as Zhu Jiantang?

As long as his son had a little bit of enterprising spirit, or had some ideas about the throne, he would definitely find a way to help his own son fight for it!

Unfortunately, his only son only wants to be a paid worker, what else can he do?

On this day, Zhu Li happened to be out of seclusion again, and wanted to find Zhu Xiaqiu to ask about the recent situation in the Ming Dynasty.

He happened to run into Zhu Xiaqiu and Zhu Jiantang discussing the concepts of governing the country in the imperial study.

After hearing Zhu Jiantang's clear and serious words informing Zhu Xiaqiu of his not-so-mature ideas, Zhu Li couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This child is still too naive. Perhaps as a grandfather, I need to teach him a lesson!

"Cough cough!"

Zhu Li coughed twice and walked into the imperial study.

"My son, please see your father!"

When Zhu Xiaqiu saw that it was Zhu Li, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Grandpa Emperor, are you out of seclusion?"

When Zhu Jiantang saw his royal grandfather, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurried over to greet him!

"Well, I just came out of seclusion and heard you talking nonsense to your second uncle!"

"It seems that you have learned a lot from your uncle during the time when Grandpa Huang was away!"

"You already have your own ideas now?"

Zhu Li nodded and said with a smile.

"Grandpa Emperor, I do have some ideas about governing the country. Aren't I discussing this with my second uncle?"

Zhu Jiantang was obviously not convinced by Zhu Li's arrogant description.

"Haha...it's a good thing to be confident!"

"But Grandpa Huang still has to teach you a lesson today!"

"Let's go, don't disturb your uncle from handling state affairs, let's have a good talk!"

Zhu Li smiled without commenting, then turned around and led the way out of the imperial study.

"Grandpa Emperor, wait for your grandson!"

"Second uncle, I'll come back to see you after I finish talking to Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Jiantang did not forget to explain to Zhu Xiaqiu, and then hurriedly caught up with Zhu Li who had already walked out!

Soon, the grandfather and grandson arrived at the imperial garden.

"Grandpa Emperor, what do you want to say to your grandson?"

Zhu Jiantang asked curiously.

"My dear grandson, Grandpa Huang will teach you a lesson today!"

"Do you feel that during this period of time, you have learned a lot about governing a country from your second uncle, and you have some ideas of your own in your mind, so you plan to put them into practice?"

"You want to prove that your idea is right?"

Zhu Li obviously saw the young man's arrogance. Wasn't he the same in the past?

At Zhu Jiantang's age, as long as he performs well enough, he will definitely be a little arrogant!

He is also eager to prove his ability and prove that the ideas or opinions he puts forward are correct!

Zhu Li knew Zhu Jiantang's little trick very well, and nothing could be hidden from his eyes!

"That's right. Since my grandson has this idea, I will naturally propose it to my second uncle. If it is really feasible, why can't we use it?"

Zhu Jiantang asked back as a matter of course.

"Because you are not yet a ruler, you do not have such power!"

"You are still young. You can think and learn on your own, but apart from your second uncle, no one will take your ideas or concepts seriously!"

"You can understand what Grandpa Huang means, right?"

"And even your second uncle doesn't think highly of you just because you are so capable. He is willing to support you in saying these things and discuss the philosophy of governing the country with you and share his experience with you!"

"The reason why he is willing to teach you is because you are the prince of Han, your father has great influence in the court, and he is also authorized by the emperor. That's why your second uncle does this. Do you understand?"

Zhu Li reminded with a serious face.

Zhu Jiantang's face suddenly showed a lost and complicated look, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought!

Did you really do something wrong?

"Grandpa Emperor, your grandson is also kind-hearted and wants to help your second uncle. Is it wrong for you to do this?"

Zhu Jiantang asked somewhat unconvinced.

"You are not wrong, but you can't say you are right. Right and wrong are not absolute concepts. In fact, in the eyes of your second uncle, whether you are right or wrong is irrelevant!"

"Because he knows more than you, and his experience is beyond your reach!"

"You are still young now, and you are far from being able to give him advice!"

"If you can't understand, then Grandpa Huang can also give you an analogy!"

"Like, would you listen to the opinions of a child who is much younger than you, only three or four years old?"

"Even if his starting point is good and he is considering you, you have the ability to analyze independently. Your thinking ability is far beyond that of a three or four-year-old child!"

"How would you view this child at this time?"

Zhu Li could only continue to explain patiently.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiantang fell silent.

Although Zhu Li's analogy made him feel a little uncomfortable, he was able to understand what Zhu Li meant!

After all, I am still too young and far from qualified to discuss the philosophy of governing the country with my second uncle Zhu Xiaqiu!

The reason why the second uncle could listen to him was only because he had the support of the emperor. In the current court, the second uncle has absolute say, but many ministers also know that Zhu Li still has the say in deciding the next heir.

"Grandpa Emperor, your grandson has figured it out!"

After a long time, Zhu Jiantang raised his head and nodded at Zhu Li.

"very good!"

"Grandpa Emperor knew that you were a smart kid. You understood everything at once!"

“You must always remember not to suggest or recommend anyone to make any decision, because if it succeeds, you may not have any credit, but if it fails, you will definitely be at fault!”

"Unless you become the emperor, no one will dare to say anything to you even if you are wrong!"

Seeing that Zhu Jiantang finally got it, Zhu Li nodded with satisfaction and continued to give instructions.

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your teaching. My grandson will remember it!"

Zhu Jiantang nodded heavily.

"very good!"

"Being an emperor is not as easy as people think. You can't just put on a dragon robe and sit on the dragon throne and become an emperor!"

"Look at your second uncle. Although he is the Crown Prince Regent and the heir to a country, he seems to be in a very glorious position and holds great power. However, before he makes any decision, he is always very cautious and must think carefully before making a decision!"

"Whether this decision is right or wrong, he has the ability to stand up to it. This is true ability!"

"Your wings are still too immature!"

"If I put you in your second uncle's position, you can't afford any failure!"

"Because you don't have the ability to control the entire court and make the civil and military officials below sincerely submit to you and worship you as a god!"

"If you make a mistake, they will focus on it. How will you deal with it then?"

"But your second uncle is different!"

"Even if he did something wrong, no one dared to say anything to him!"

“This is real ability!”

Zhu Li taught his grandson that he was very smart, but he also knew that the boy was still too young!

I just hope that he can really listen to what I said today!

……

Time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed!

Zhu Jiantang has grown into a young man in his twenties, and his behavior has become more calm and reserved than when he was a teenager!

Obviously, Zhu Li's teaching to him had already achieved the desired effect!

In contrast, the second uncle Zhu Xiaqiu is now old!

Zhu Xiaqiu, who is in his fifties, is already showing signs of old age!

He is also the only ordinary person among the four brothers who has not inherited the eight unique skills!

"Second brother, how about we give the throne to you sooner?"

"You have been the regent prince for thirty years. Do you still want to continue to be the prince?"

At this time, Zhu Li even looked a little younger than his son Zhu Xiaqiu, and time seemed to have left no trace on Zhu Li's face.

However, looking at Zhu Xiaqiu who was gradually getting older, Zhu Li felt a little uncomfortable!

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty could develop to its present stage thanks to the contribution of Zhu Xiaqiu, the regent prince. Without him, there might not be the prosperous Ming Dynasty today!

In fact, this is not the first time that Zhu Li has taken the initiative to tell Zhu Xiaqiu that he wants to abdicate!

The main reason was that he, the emperor, was occupying the toilet but not doing anything, and he did not play any role that an emperor should play. He felt ashamed when facing Zhu Xiaqiu!

However, every time, Zhu Xiaqiu shook his head and refused without hesitation!

"Father, please don't talk about abdication anymore. I will never agree to anything!"

"If you really want to abdicate, you might as well give it to the third brother!"

As expected, Zhu Xiaqiu once again rejected Zhu Li's kindness, and even suggested that Zhu Li pass the throne directly to the third brother Zhu Xiajun!

"What are we going to pass it to the third brother for?"

"It's better to pass it directly to Tang'er than to pass it to the third brother!"

"Our grandson is now more reliable than this brat!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"In fact, the third brother is just a little lazy. His ability is not inferior to mine!"

"If he really wants the throne, do you think your son can defeat him?"

Zhu Xiaqiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Indeed, Zhu Xialun seems to be out of touch, but that doesn't prove that he doesn't have the ability. If he gets serious, perhaps Zhu Xiaqiu won't be his opponent!

But Zhu Xialun has just this kind of personality, just like Zhu Xiaqiu's son who also has no ambition!

"Why don't you want to be the emperor?"

Zhu Li sighed helplessly.

"I don't agree with what you said. If my son shows even the slightest interest in the throne, I will do my best to help him fight for it!"

"But you also know that boy is a hopeless person!"

"But no matter what, he is already in his thirties. There are already many princes and ministers in the court who have begun to contact him intentionally or unintentionally!"

"Although this kid has no ambitions here, there are still people who want him to be the emperor!"

"I must not give these ministers any hope. The most important thing is to make them give up this hope as soon as possible!"

“If I really ascend the throne and become the emperor, then those ministers who still want to support the eldest grandson as the crown prince will definitely have hope. If there is another infighting in the court later, the current good situation of the Ming Dynasty will probably be ruined!”

Zhu Xiaqiu explained with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li fell into silence!

He naturally knew that Zhu Xiaqiu's concerns were correct!

If he did not abdicate the throne to Zhu Xiaqiu and let him continue to be the crown prince, and finally the throne would be handed over to Zhu Xialun by his younger brother, then these ministers in the court would have nothing to say!

The third prince is also a legitimate prince, and has military achievements, so he will most likely be able to convince the ministers!

Only when the third brother takes the position can the eldest brother Zhu Xiafeng not dare to act rashly!

Because only the third brother Zhu Xialun is qualified to fight with the eldest brother Zhu Xiafeng. In this regard, even the fourth brother Zhu Xiaye is still lacking in skills!

"Tang'er is so smart. He is the successor you and I have been training for these years!"

"Even if it's for Tang's sake, you should pass the throne to the third brother!"

"Only in this way can Tang'er take over the throne from the third brother!"

"I think the best strategy is to pave the way for Tang'er's future as soon as possible!"

Zhu Xiaqiu added.

"You, sometimes you just don't think about yourself enough!"

"Sometimes I really hope you can be a little more selfish!"

Zhu Li sighed helplessly.

He had no way to refute Zhu Xiaqiu's words, and he knew that Zhu Xiaqiu had made up his mind, so it would be useless for him to say anything!

And when he thought of Zhu Jiantang, Zhu Li lost his temper.
