Chapter 680 The Aftermath of the Early Ming Dynasty
Lin Ke quickly turned off the live stream. After hearing the story, the people dispersed, realizing that national affairs were none of their concern, but they hoped that life would be better than before.
At this time, in the early years of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, people sighed with regret. If it weren't for the fact that they were descendants, they would find it hard to imagine that so many things would happen in the Ming Dynasty in the future!
Reducing the power of the feudal lords?! The Jingnan Campaign?! The King of Han roasted in bronze?!
Or perhaps the Tumu Crisis? Was the Ming Dynasty short of money?! Land annexation?!
Thinking of all this, the emperor and his ministers felt a headache coming on. One problem after another needed to be discussed carefully, as they couldn't leave their descendants with a mess.
“Father, it’s getting late. Why don’t we call everyone back and discuss this another day?” Zhu Biao asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention back to the Crown Prince. It was as if they were in a dream. The Crown Prince was benevolent and his position was secure. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would ascend the throne smoothly and would probably do a much better job than Jianwen.
Unfortunately, he died young, before he turned forty. In the torrent of history, another one had already been chosen.
The emperor waved his hand, and the officials dispersed. He sighed inwardly. The crown prince remained gentle, but the court was about to be turned upside down.
The hall was brightly lit, and only Old Zhu's family remained. The men looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
Zhu Biao saw this and sighed. Since it was inevitable, he might as well start with himself, just like many years ago when he was the eldest son and had to set an example.
"Father, Mother, the people are more important than the ruler," Zhu Biao said softly. He knew his father had his own reasons; the Ming Dynasty was of utmost importance, far more so than a crown prince whose future was uncertain.
It is more suitable for Yongle, who has already left a significant mark on history.
Perhaps the golden age will come sooner than expected, or perhaps new surprises will occur, but it cannot be denied that the fourth emperor did a very good job, and even among hundreds of emperors over the centuries, he has a certain presence.
As their thoughts raced, they all realized that what they hadn't said earlier was clear to them. The wheels of history keep rolling forward, and over the thousands of years, how many great emperors and how many prosperous eras have there been?
In the glorious Tang Dynasty, all nations came to pay tribute, a fact that has not been forgotten even in later generations. It is hateful that the Qing Dynasty did not allow their ancestors to rise to power, but those Jurchens did!
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his eldest son, the crown prince on whom he had placed boundless hopes. As a father, he hoped that this child would be free from illness and worries, and that he would not ask for much, and that the child would not pass away before his old father.
Imperial Physician: ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ My dad!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look at the future Yongle Emperor, today's Prince Yan, Zhu Di.
The boy glanced at his older brother first, then at his father, his eyes gleaming with eagerness, ambition hidden in them, and a hint of uncertainty in his heart.
Looking back more than ten years, he never imagined that one day, without those difficulties, he could do even better than Yongle in the trajectory.
At this moment, the young man already had the answer in his heart: Prince Yan, Zhu Di, was never afraid of the difficulties ahead.
Having figured all this out, Zhu Di was about to say something when he hesitated again. Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang, leaned back in his chair and teased, "Oh, Judy, fourth brother, don't try to mess with us older brothers in the future. We're all brothers from the same mother!"
King Zhu Su of Zhou silently raised his hand: Don't forget your younger brother!
Old Zhu was troubled, Empress Ma chuckled, Zhu Biao was helpless, and Zhu Di really wanted to beat up the Prince of Qin—was he really such a heartless brother?!
Forget about the eldest brother, these guys from the King of Qin are all incompetent. Even if he wanted to do something, they'd have to live past forty!
Jianwen: Hehe, I don't know if it's heavy or not, but my nephew didn't have a good experience with it!
