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

Zhu Yunhuan nodded, "Yes, the emergence of artillery broke the era of cold weapons. Once artillery is fully popularized, the era of cold weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds will be gone forever. A new era is coming. Using artillery to fight and covering the sky with artillery fire is indeed too lethal, but this is the strongest spear of the Ming Dynasty, so why not the strongest shield of the Ming Dynasty?"

"I fully agree with your Highness' words. Artillery is the foundation of national defense, and national defense is the backbone of the Ming Dynasty. Artillery is too powerful, and its existence has indeed brought doubts.

However, I believe that even if its existence raises doubts, the entire Ming army must be equipped with artillery, because having no sword in hand and having a sword but not using it are two different things!

Truth is always only within the range of cannons. I believe that once the entire army is equipped with cannons, everyone in the world will believe that your Highness' words are the most correct truth in the world."

Wang Chunsan said with a righteous look on his face.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded, "My dear Wang, you are very good. I have high hopes for you. Please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Chunsan breathed a sigh of relief. He finally passed this hurdle.

It almost scared me to death, a baby in his forties.

Zhu Yunhuan felt more and more that Wang Chunsan could be of great use.

"Lord Wang, are you familiar with the people in the Ministry of Rites? Or do you know someone named Kong?"

Zhu Yunhuan suddenly asked.

When Wang Chunsan heard this, he was shocked. What big thing was Zhu Yunhuan going to do?

This surname...is not ordinary.

The Hundred Schools of Thought at the end of the year... Could it be that Zhu Yunhuan wants to take action against Confucianism?

Could it be that... Zhu Yunhuan didn't want to establish Confucianism as the state religion?

Wang Chunsan shook his head and thought, forget it, it has nothing to do with me. I’m just a Confucianist. At worst, I can say that I’m a Legalist.

Anyway, I am not a specialist in Confucianism.

To conform to the trend of the times is called following your heart!

As long as it doesn't affect my high position and high salary, I can do whatever I want with the rest.

"I don't know, but I can find what Your Highness wants." Wang Chunsan replied.

When Zhu Yunhuan heard this, the more he looked at Wang Chunsan, the more satisfied he felt. "My dear, this matter must be kept secret."

"I understand. Your Highness has not told me about this matter, and I don't know about it either." Wang Chunsan replied.

Zhu Yunhuan hummed, "So what do you think about making cannons? After all, it's a money-eating beast."

"Do it! I'll do it even if it means selling everything I have! I'll support Your Highness even if I have to pawn my underpants!" Wang Chunsan expressed his sincerity with a serious face.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded, "Go down, I have high hopes for you, the future Lord Wang."

"My minister retire."

Hearing the words "Lord Wang", Wang Chunsan felt elated.

Although only in the future.

But believe me, the future will come soon!

After Wang Chunsan left, Zhu Yunhuan looked at Xia Yuanji standing aside. Seeing Xia Yuanji's shocked expression, Zhu Yunhuan knew that this scene was beyond Xia Yuanji's understanding.

"Xia Yuanji, what do you think about what just happened?" Zhu Yunhuan deliberately let Xia Yuanji see this scene. This guy is still a bit stubborn now, and reality has not completely smoothed out Xia Yuanji's edges.

Xia Yuanji cupped his hands and said, "I understand what it means that when water is too clear, there are no fish. This pool of water is really dark! Everyone appears to be righteous and moral on the surface, but they are dirty and dark behind the scenes!"

Zhu Yunhuan laughed, "You have to know that this world has two sets of rules. On the surface, everyone should talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, but behind the scenes, everyone talks about conspiracy and calculation, and the division of interests.

The world is bustling with people all because of profit, and the world is clamoring for profit. People live their lives for nothing but money, sex, or power. An emperor has money, power, and sex, so everyone wants to be an emperor.

He had the greatest wealth in the world, the most beautiful women in the world, and supreme power. Don’t be fooled by the vast number of history books. In fact, those vast history books only have four words written on them, that is, strive to be the emperor!

When the ruler is strong, the ministers are virtuous; when the ruler is weak, the ministers are strong! Wang Chunsan works for me, and I promise him benefits. This is normal, just like officials working for the court and the court giving salaries to officials. It is just an exchange of benefits. "
