Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

These words really choked Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Abdication? Haha, you really dare to think about it! Just dream on."

Zhu Yuanzhang threw all the fish food in his hand into the lotus pond.

Zhu Yunhuan took out the imperial seal and said, "I was appointed by heaven and I have longevity. So what if you give me the sacred artifact or not? I can just write another edict and declare myself emperor. I have the imperial seal and I am the legitimate ruler of the world. Who would object?"

Zhu Yunhuan always kept the imperial seal in the system space and would only take it out when he needed it.

Zhu Yunhuan didn't want this thing to be stolen.

"It's just a piece of broken stone." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, but why did his tone seem to be full of envy? What the hell was that?

Zhu Yunhuan played with the imperial seal. "It is indeed a piece of stone, but the premise is that I am an ordinary person. However, if I am the crown prince, then it represents the orthodoxy of the world, and I am the one chosen by heaven. Your Majesty, you have sent many people to look for this thing in the more than 20 years since you founded the country."

"Humph."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and did not respond.

The Ming Dynasty came to power in the most legitimate way, but if it had had the imperial seal at that time, it would have been perfect.

It's a pity that there are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from heaven, and one is missing. The way of heaven is imperfect, which means that there is no perfect thing in the world.

Zhu Yunhuan put the imperial seal back into his sleeve, but actually took back the system space.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'm here to talk to you about serious matters. I want to reduce the power of the princes, and I hope you can issue an edict to take back the military power of the princes." Zhu Yunhuan did not continue to annoy Zhu Yuanzhang.

Instead, he got down to business.

If Zhu Yunhuan now issued an edict in the name of Zhu Yuanzhang to reduce the power of the princes, it would be tantamount to giving certain people a reason to quell the rebellion.

But if Zhu Yuanzhang personally stood up and spoke about this matter in front of all the civil and military officials, then the Ming Dynasty would not be in chaos.

Zhu Yunhuan does not have the power to suppress everything now. An imperial edict issued in the name of Zhu Yuanzhang is far less useful than Zhu Yuanzhang speaking in person.

If Zhu Yuanzhang agrees, then it will be good for everyone, and everyone will end up with dignity.

But if he refused and didn't want this dignity, then Zhu Yuanzhang would hurt 800 enemies and 1,000 of his own.

If Zhu Yunhuan decided to reduce the power of the princes later, after they had developed, there would have to be a bloody battle. But if Zhu Yuanzhang came to reduce the power of the princes, there would be no fighting.

After all, Zhu Yunhuan still had to preserve his strength. He also had to implement a plan to exterminate the Japanese. The first thing he did after growing up was to attack Japan.

Therefore, Zhu Yunhuan did not want to start a civil war, so he came to Zhu Yuanzhang, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would be more decent.

Zhu Yuanzhang's best strategy was to reduce the power of the feudal lords.

When the best strategy cannot be implemented, the worst strategy can still be used.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the purpose of Zhu Yunhuan's visit, he felt like he had heard a huge joke.

"It's ridiculous! When we divided the princes, Liu Bowen, Song Lian and the others were all against it. It was because we overcame all objections and tried our best to divide the princes, which made it possible for the Ming Dynasty's King of Sai to be stationed in the border. You want us to reduce the power of the princes? It's ridiculous! I will never reduce the power of the princes in my lifetime!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan sighed. Although he had already guessed it in his heart, he still felt it was a pity when Zhu Yuanzhang actually refused.

"The reduction of the power of the vassal states will definitely be carried out, and I have three strategies to reduce the power of the vassal states. Asking you to issue an order is only the best strategy. It does not mean that I cannot reduce the power of the vassal states if you do not issue an order."

Zhu Yunhuan put one hand behind his back, and the confidence he exuded made Zhu Yuanzhang stare in amazement.

Is this really his eldest grandson?

After ascending the throne of the crown prince, he seemed like a different person. If he had really endured so many years of hardship, then his scheming and calculations must be beyond that of ordinary people.

How will he...reduce the power of the feudal lords?

"Three strategies to reduce the power of the feudal lords?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. You came up with three ways to reduce the power of the feudal lords?
