Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Before this, Wei Wu always called him Lord Hongwu, but now he suddenly changed to calling him Your Majesty.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood that the next words might not be what he wanted to hear.

But the issue of national destiny was of great importance, and he still wanted to know what would happen in the future.

So, after Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded on the spot.

"I understand. Just come and we won't hold you accountable for something that didn't happen."

Although I know that the emperor’s words cannot be trusted, especially what Zhu Yuanzhang says cannot be trusted.

After all, those who had obtained the red book and iron certificate were unable to save their lives in the end.

But it's still better than no promise at all.

So, Wei Wu gave the answer very straightforwardly.

"According to historical records, the Ming Dynasty lasted for 276 years."

After hearing Wei Wu's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately frowned.

"It's not even three hundred years? It's even worse than the weak and incompetent Zhao and Song dynasties."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's disappointed face, Wei Wu comforted him:

"Your Majesty, the strength of a dynasty cannot be measured by its duration. Even the pre-Qin dynasty, which unified the world, lasted only fourteen years."

"Moreover, in the eyes of later generations, the iron-willed Ming Dynasty was the most resolute dynasty, far beyond the reach of the Zhao and Song dynasties."

"After three hundred years of existence, the Ming Dynasty failed to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but it took only one year for the Ming Dynasty to recover the Han Dynasty's ancestral land."

As a loyal fan of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Wu also felt excited when he talked about this.

"In the eyes of future generations, the Ming Dynasty refused to marry off princesses, pay indemnities, cede territory, or pay tribute. The emperor guarded the country's borders, and the king died for the country!"

"The later "Donggu Zhuiyan Volume 1" records that our dynasty's national power surpasses all previous dynasties, and it controls the northern barbarians and western tribes.

There is no marriage alliance like the Han, no alliance like the Tang, no annual tribute like the Song, and no etiquette between brothers and enemies.

When they come to pay tribute, they will be treated with kindness and courtesy."

"It was the most steadfast and magnanimous dynasty in history. Emperor Hongwu was even called the greatest emperor of all time. Some even say you are the greatest emperor of all time."

In fact, in Wei Wu's heart, the only one who can be called the greatest emperor in history is Zulong.

But now that Old Zhu is in person, I still have to flatter him.

No matter how many holes there are in flattery, it never wears out. Anyway, it wasn't him who said it, so there's no psychological burden.

In fact, Wei Wu's flattery was really to the right place, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile after hearing it.

"That's right, in my Ming Dynasty, there will never be brothers fighting for the throne like in the Li Tang Dynasty, nor will we be as weak and vulnerable as in the Zhao Song Dynasty!"

"I will not sacrifice my own children in exchange for a brief peace. Anyone who dares to cross the line will have his hand broken!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy with the flattery that he didn't notice that Wei Wu's expression was a little unnatural.

There was indeed no killing of brothers, but there was killing of uncles and nephews, and more than once.

As for the struggle for the throne, there is no need to mention it. Emperor Yongle was criticized for this matter all his life.

Just as Wei Wu was muttering in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly frowned.

No marriage alliance, no compensation, no cession of territory, no tribute. The emperor guards the national border and the king dies for the country!

The first sentence is indeed worthy of the title of the toughest dynasty, but the second sentence has big problems.

"Xiao Wu, you said that the emperor guards the country's gates and the king dies for the country, is this the danger of the Ming Dynasty's demise?

Who is the king who guards the country's gates, and who is the king who dies for the country?"

In fact, what Zhu Yuanzhang really cared about was not who the two kings were.

What he cared about was whether these two kings were his crown prince Zhu Biao and his grandson Zhu Xiongying.

However, when Wei Wu heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, his heart tightened.

"Um...this..."

What you fear will come true. Why didn’t you hold back a little just now?

How to say?

Could it be that the emperor guarding the national border is your fourth son, who stole the throne from your nephew and moved the capital to Peking to guard the national border?

The king died for his country because the last emperor of your Zhu family refused to surrender and finally hanged himself on Coal Hill?

Wei Wu was so forced that he didn't know what to say, and subconsciously took out a cigarette lighter from the system.

Just as he was about to light it, he saw Queen Ma opposite him, so he gave up the idea of ​​smoking.

However, his ability to transform objects out of thin air attracted the attention of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.

When Wei Wu came to his senses, he saw that the two men were staring at the things in his hands.

Wei Wu knew very well that he could not hide the truth from Zhu Yuanzhang unless he hid overseas.

In this case, it is better to show it openly, so as to be honest and enhance your own value.

Wei Wu simply did not hide it.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Before Wei Wu could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"This is not the imperial palace, and I prefer you to call me Uncle Zhu. It sounds more intimate."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to get closer to him, Wei Wu realized that his life was saved.

"Okay, then I'll call you Uncle Zhu. Didn't you just ask me where I got these things?"

"Actually, I can't really explain it to you. I just get them every once in a while."

Having said that, Wei Wu frowned deeply and his voice became much deeper.

“Sometimes I even wonder why I came to this era, and why it was me.”

"Who gave me the ability to obtain these things, and what is His purpose?"

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that Wei Wu was not in the right mood, so he immediately said:

"If you can't figure it out, then don't think too much about it. Just accept it as it is. Overthinking will only cause more trouble."

"Perhaps, as you just said, you came to Ming Dynasty to change future history."

Wei Wu came to his senses and immediately understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant when he heard his words.

He was not a fool. Zhu Yuanzhang clearly wanted to use his advanced memory to contribute to the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, Wei Wu did not reject this in his heart. On the contrary, he was willing to work hard for it.

The thought of the Ming Dynasty’s ironclad warships crossing the oceans and sweeping across Europe and America with shells in the future makes me feel proud.

Future students will no longer have to worry about English.

All the resources and beautiful treasures were packed up and brought back to Ming Dynasty to support the Chinese nation.

His heart was filled with fighting spirit, just like the famous saying of Zulongliu that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Fore-drops, forehead-drops, all forehead-drops!

However, although there was no problem in building the Ming Dynasty, Wei Wu did not want to enter the officialdom.

At least he would definitely not enter the officialdom before Zhu Biao came to power.

Everyone knows that being an official under Zhu Yuanzhang was treated even worse than being a social animal in later generations.

They get up earlier than the chickens, but their income is dismal, and their lives are in danger at any time.

So after Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Wei Wu simply made things clear.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to contribute my humble efforts to the Ming Dynasty, but I am not familiar with state affairs and policy.

I do not want to enter the court and get involved in officialdom struggles. I implore Your Majesty to grant my permission."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to let Wei Wu enter the court directly. After all, national affairs should not be treated as a joke.

However, he hadn't figured out how to arrange it yet, so after Wei Wu finished speaking, he immediately nodded and said:

"Okay, we promise not to let you into the court. Now we can say that the emperor guards the country's gates and the king dies for the country!"

Got it!

I tried dodging left and right but couldn't avoid it!

Since I can't avoid it, I might as well just say it out loud.
