"As soon as Li Siqi saw Wang Baobao's arrogant writing, he was immediately furious and said: 'I have the same qualifications as your Lao Tzu, when we fought side by side, your boy's hair had not yet grown, and now you dare to talk to me in this tone?' Then he was not ordered. ”

"When Wang Baobao found out, he became even more angry and said, 'I have been ordered to be the governor of the world, what battle will I fight if you are not ordered?' So he no longer went south, but turned north to attack Li Siqi. Not to be outdone, Li Siqi united several military leaders who were dissatisfied with Wang Baobao, met the alliance in Xi'an, and publicly recommended Li Siqi as the leader of the alliance, and sent troops to Tongguan. He fought with Wang Baobao for more than a year and fought hundreds of times, regardless of victory or defeat. Emperor Yuan Shun also repeatedly issued edicts to stop it, but it didn't work. And I took this opportunity to eliminate Zhang Shicheng. ”

"If Emperor Yuan Shun had a strong control over the situation at that time, and all the generals listened to him and united to deal with the rebels, then what was my chance of victory? Therefore, the root cause of the fall of the old Yuan is that the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and the local generals are too big to fall off, and they are not subject to the emperor's command, so they are taken by heroes and heroes. ”

"That's why I said all day long, 'If the Yuan government is not lenient, I will continue to be fierce'. You will be the emperor in the future, and if the people below don't give you a good job and you indulge them, then your throne will be unstable. ”

Zhu Yunwen was dumbfounded when he heard it, what Lao Zhu said was very different from what he usually heard, where did he rely on his own wisdom and martial arts to create a great cause, it was obviously a big luck.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have expected Zhu Yunwen's appearance, so he was not surprised, and then asked: "Do you know why I hit Chen Youliang first, instead of Zhang Shicheng?" ”

Regarding this problem, Zhu Yuanzhang has said many times, the so-called: "Friendship is arrogant, and sincerity is small." Zhijiao is good at life, and he has no long-term plan. "So hit Chen Youliang first, the short-sighted Zhang Shicheng will definitely sit idly by, if he hits Zhang Shicheng first, Chen Youliang will definitely raise troops to attack. This incident fully reflects Zhu Yuanzhang's materiality.

Zhu Yunwen was naturally familiar with Lao Zhu's set of rhetoric, but when Lao Zhu asked at this time, it was definitely not to test his recitation ability, so Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to answer.

Zhu Yuanzhang is about to become a master in this way, so he naturally knows what Zhu Yunwen is thinking, and said: "Those words are also lies." ”

Although he had already expected such an ending, Zhu Yuanzhang said it in person and surprised Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Yunwen, who was standing aside, and said to himself: "Zhang Shicheng is a masterpiece, how can he be blind, if he is such a person, how can he defeat the million-strong army of Toktoku in Gaoyou, and how can he be the king and hegemon in the troubled times?" ”

Zhu Yunwen suddenly became interested, what Lao Zhu said was too novel for him, everyone has a curiosity mentality, and likes to listen to some gossip and secrets, so he took the initiative to ask: "Please give advice to the emperor's grandfather." Between the words and demeanor, there was a trace of anxiety.

Lao Zhu raised his eyes and looked at his grandson, who was full of curiosity, and continued to say unhurriedly: "There are two reasons why I dare to rest assured of Zhang Shicheng. First, I was very strict with Zhang Shicheng, and I sent troops to guard the important land and water areas that bordered me, such as Tang He, Geng Bingwen and other generals were sent by me to the front line bordering Zhang Shicheng, and I personally instructed them to take the defense of the city as the greatest credit, no matter how provocative the other party was, they were not allowed to fight, and I would solve the problem of grain and grass. Therefore, Geng Bingwen stayed in Changxing City for ten years, and he couldn't live or die, and Zhang Shicheng was helpless against him. Just one day after the Battle of Poyang Lake, I sent Xu Da to Nanjing to guard against Zhang Shicheng, with such an impregnable wall and elite soldiers, it was not so easy for Zhang Shicheng to sneak attack me. ”

"Second, Zhang Shicheng didn't think about attacking me at that time. Of course, this is not because he is blind, but everyone knows that on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore. If I eliminated Chen Youliang, the next one would definitely be him, if Zhang Shicheng couldn't even see this, then he wouldn't know how many times he had been killed. But the problem is that Chen Youliang was very powerful at that time, and I myself was not sure to destroy him. Zhang Shicheng didn't expect me to win, and I won so completely. ”

"Actually, Lao Zhang was very busy at the time. At that time, Liu Futong had just been defeated (the Battle of Anfeng was killed by Zhang Shicheng, which was the prelude to the Battle of Poyang Lake), and a large area of land in Henan, Shandong and other territories he occupied before had become terra nullius, and these territories bordered Zhang Shicheng, so Lao Zhang was busy grabbing land and expanding his strength. His wishful thinking is very fine, he wants me to fight with Lao Chen in the dark, and both will lose, he will take the opportunity to expand his strength, and finally take advantage of the fisherman and wipe me and Lao Chen in one net. ”

"However, I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven. Lao Chen poked his head well, and was killed by an arrow shot by my sergeant, and I still don't know who shot this arrow, but it can only be said that it is the destiny of heaven. After I eliminated Chen Youliang, my strength increased greatly, leaving Zhang Shicheng far behind, and Wang Baobao was busy fighting a civil war and refused to attack my rear, so I was able to calmly eliminate Zhang Shicheng. So when he was caught by me, he was very unconvinced, saying something 'the sun does not shine on me', although I was very angry at the time and killed him, but I also had to admit that what he said had a certain truth. ”

These words made Zhu Yunwen even more dumbfounded, it turned out that Zhang Shicheng, who he had always looked down on and was content with pleasure, turned out to be a hero, and he also had a chance to win. The process of the emperor's grandfather fighting the world is too difficult, and the key time nodes he just mentioned, if there is a problem in one link, it is really difficult to say the direction of the general trend of the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson's expression, and still said slowly with a kind face: "So, none of those who have made a name for themselves in the troubled times are good stubble. Just with you and the group of sour literati under you, you can't help them. ”

Zhu Yunwen only understood why Zhu Yuanzhang had to kill Lan Yu and the others at this time, and bowed down and said: "Listening to the emperor's grandfather's words is better than reading for ten years." Grandpa Huang's words today made his grandson suddenly open up and benefited a lot. ”

Since he has already told Zhu Yunwen about the emperor's skills that cannot be put on the stage, then simply in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "I ask you, if you ascend to the throne in the future, what will you rely on to govern the world?" ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Naturally, the monarch and the ministers are of the same heart, relying on upright ministers like Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru to rule the world." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Wrong." Can you feel the temper of those civil servants? ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then asked respectfully: "Please teach the imperial grandfather." ”
