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

"Let me ask you, in your opinion, can the current Ming Dynasty be called a prosperous era?" Zhu Yunheng looked at the person in front of him with a serious expression and asked slowly.

Zhu Yunhuan's sharp eyes like an eagle were fixed on the other person, as if he wanted to see through his appearance to see his truest thoughts.

Chu Hongqi took a deep breath, bowed his head slightly, and replied, "Your Majesty, I think that the current Ming Dynasty cannot be called a prosperous era."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present gasped.

Hao Youqian, who was standing by, widened his eyes and thought to himself, "What a bastard! You are so bold to speak so bluntly. Aren't you afraid of losing your head? You are simply running naked on the road to death!"

Hao Youqian really couldn't understand where Chu Hongqi got the courage and confidence to bet that Zhu Yunhuan would not get angry and kill him.

Could it be that he has some golden medal that can save his life hidden in his house?

"It's not considered a prosperous age? Is it because my achievements are not great?"

"Your Majesty has expanded the territory abroad, stabilized the people's livelihood at home, promoted the contention of a hundred schools of thought in culture, and liberated people's minds. Naturally, your achievements are great."

"Since my achievements are so great, do you think I am not virtuous enough?"

"Your Majesty has benefited all people, and all the people share the emperor's grace. Your Majesty is certainly virtuous."

"Since you have great achievements and great virtues, do you think that the current era is not prosperous because China is unstable?"

"The great China is peaceful and prosperous, and the world will naturally be stable if it develops according to your majesty's will."

"If that's the case, then do you think the barbarians in all directions are unwilling to submit?"

"Your Majesty has conquered Mongolia, taken back India, swept away Ryukyu and Jiaozhi, and all four directions are within the grasp of the Ming Dynasty. How can the barbarians not submit?"

"Since I have made great contributions and achieved great virtue, China is stable, and the four barbarians are submissive, why can't the Ming Dynasty be called prosperous now? Is it because the grain harvest is not abundant enough?"

"Your Majesty, if you promote the planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes, no one in the world will starve to death, and food will naturally be abundant."

"So you think that the Ming Dynasty was not prosperous because there were no auspicious signs from heaven?"

"Your Majesty is the greatest blessing for our Ming Dynasty. It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and the people to have Your Majesty."

"Then why are you talking nonsense? How can our Ming Dynasty not be considered a prosperous era?"

Zhu Yunhuan asked and answered questions with Chu Hongqi.

In the end, Zhu Yunhuan started cursing and Chu Hongqi felt ashamed.

"Your Majesty! The so-called true prosperity should be a scene where the world is united and all people are at peace! And now, although we have seen signs of prosperity, we only have some foundation for a prosperous age. There is still a long way to go before we can achieve the true prosperity!"

Chu Hongqi bowed and replied with a serious expression.

He raised his head slightly and looked straight ahead with a firm gaze, as if he saw the future of the entire country through the palace in front of him.

Zhu Yunhuan leaned silently on the dragon throne.

I have to say, what this guy said makes a lot of sense.

Indeed, perhaps I was a little complacent.

When I realized that I had achieved something, I couldn't help but feel a sense of elation.

Oh my, this is really a dangerous signal!

He almost followed in the footsteps of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji.

Back then, Li Longji had a smooth life in the first half of his life, with remarkable political achievements, and he had firmly stepped into the threshold of becoming an emperor of all ages.

However, just when he began to become complacent and self-indulgent, everything took a dramatic turn.

He was originally high and mighty, but because of his arrogance and laziness, he was dragged down from the altar, and finally became a half-emperor of all ages, which is really sad.

Whenever he thought of this, Zhu Yunhuan felt a sense of fear, and beads of cold sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead.

Look at how I am now. Haven't I become complacent and carried away by my success just because I have achieved a little? No, no, I absolutely cannot continue like this!
