Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

In addition, Wei Wu had said before that after the King of Yan came to power, his civil and military achievements were among the best among emperors of all dynasties.

So it is very reasonable for these people to approach King Yan, but there is another problem.

Since they want to cause chaos in the world, wouldn't it be better to support a prince with less talent?

While Zhu Yuanzhang was lost in thought, Wei Wu had already relieved the dryness in his throat. He put down his teacup and continued:

"Although it's not nice to say this, but apart from my eldest brother, among all your princes, only Prince Yan possesses the qualities of an emperor."

"As long as we get rid of my eldest brother, a hundred years after you, with the Lü family still around, Zhu Yunwen will definitely prioritize Confucianism when he ascends the throne."

"In fact, this is also true in the history of my world. Zhu Yunwen made many outrageous decisions after he ascended the throne."

"Take the example of reducing the power of the feudal lords, Mr. Zhu. If you were in the situation of reducing the power of the feudal lords, how would you choose to do it?"

Although he was very disgusted with this topic, since Wei Wu asked, Zhu Yuanzhang did not avoid it and said bluntly:

"If we were to do this, we would definitely use the imperial power to oppress and deal with the kings one by one from the strongest to the weakest."

"Anyone who dares to show any dissatisfaction will be charged with rebellion, and the army will march straight to their fiefdom to completely wipe them out, making an example of them."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately nodded in agreement:

"That's right, that's how it should be under normal circumstances, but Zhu Yunwen didn't do that. He just attacked all the princes right away."

"Historically, you trained him for several years after the eldest brother passed away. Even if you were in a bad situation, you wouldn't make such an unwise decision."

"This shows how much influence those Confucian officials had on Zhu Yunwen. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was a puppet."

When Wei Wu said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face had become very ugly, and both hands were clenched into fists.

"The emperor is a puppet being manipulated. At the same time, they have sent people to contact the Prince of Yan. The situation is completely under their control."

"If it were me, I would do everything I could to create a situation that would make the King of Yan ambitious, so that the world would be in chaos."

At this time, Wei Wu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again and asked:

"Uncle Zhu, if I hadn't told you what happened in history, do you think the Prince of Yan's rebellion would have succeeded?"

Without any hesitation, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head on the spot.

"It's impossible to succeed. Even if Zhu Yunwen is incompetent, he still holds the upper hand, not to mention the entire court of civil and military officials."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately followed up with the rest of his words.

"That's right. Of all the people who rebelled throughout history, only a handful have succeeded. The Kong family thinks the same."

"That's why they chose a talented person. They didn't seek a successful rebellion, but only wanted to keep the chaos going."

After Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Biao also followed up with a sentence.

"The longer this chaos lasts, the greater the drain on the vitality of our Ming Dynasty. In the end, I'm afraid our national destiny will be completely destroyed."

"By then, the Kong family won't even need to do anything. The remnants of the Yuan and Mongol forces will naturally move south and seize the throne in one fell swoop!"

Immediately afterwards, Wei Wu followed up with a sentence at the right time.

"But I'm afraid they didn't expect the Prince of Yan to successfully seize the throne and defend the Ming Dynasty, so that decades of planning were wasted."

Although the history that Wei Wu knew did not happen, Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Based on what we know so far, if Wei Wu had not existed, the original history would have really happened.

Fortunately, the fourth son of the family successfully seized the throne, otherwise the Kong family would have achieved their goal and the Yuan and Mongolians would have once again seized the mountains and rivers of China.

For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to view Zhu Di, his son who had successfully rebelled.

Just looking at his act of usurping the throne, pulling out the jade belt from his waist and giving him a severe beating would be considered a light punishment.

But if it is based on protecting the Han Dynasty, then what Zhu Di did is worthy of praise.
