The news of the assassin's ambush soon reached Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy as water.

This group of people actually committed suicide en masse, and they couldn't even catch a single live mouth.

As a result, there is no way to find out who is behind them.

"Damn it!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were like knives.

However, he did not hate the audacity of those people, and the great rebellion and disrespect for the monarch's father. Because he understood that the new policy he was promoting, it was inevitable that he would force them to assassinate.

The new policy had to be implemented and resolutely implemented.

Through Qin Yu's guidance, he knew a truth in his heart like a mirror.

That is, from the moment he became the emperor, he was already on the opposite side of the feudal aristocracy.

The interests of the royal family and the interests of the feudal aristocracy were not the same in nature.

What the emperor wants most is that the country will be eternal, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the world will be clear.

The emperor's focus is on the world, everyone in the world.

And the interests of the feudal aristocracy are their own families, and the bigger the family, the better, and the richer the family, the better.

Their focus is on their own interests, their small family.

The power of the family outside the royal family is too great, which will inevitably affect the imperial power and will inevitably harm the people.

The point is that the feudal aristocracy is an interest group, not a specific family. They were disorganized and undisciplined, and they were indifferent to the interests of the dynasty and the interests of the common people. It's still Qin Yu's metaphor that is used well, they are like a pack of wild dogs, when they are full, they will have fun, even bite each other, and then overturn the entire banquet.

If you don't make enemies of them, you can only compromise with them and harm the people together.

And the only result of the compromise is that the royal family will be completely hollowed out by them in the future.

Countless princes and grandsons died in their struggle for power and profit, and several later monarchs inexplicably 'died of violent illness' and died young, and the emperor had three thousand beauties in the harem, and even an heir could not be found.

By the time it had been three hundred years, the wild dogs had eaten enough, and the wine table had been completely overturned.

The wine table was overturned, and they scattered like birds and beasts, and hid in the dark.

When someone has cleaned up the old rivers and mountains and started a new feast, they will come out from all directions and gather together again.

It can be said that the old Zhu family is now targeting those feudal aristocrats, which is tantamount to saving themselves.

Don't say that for the sake of the common people, he is saving himself and saving his old Zhu family.

Of course, for the sake of the common people, there are also.

After all, the interests of the royal family are the same as the interests of the people of the world. The people live and work in peace and contentment, the Haiyan River in the world is clear, and the Ming Dynasty of his old Zhu family is of course stable.

As soon as the emperor heard that there was a drought or flood in a certain place, he would spare no effort to provide relief, fearing that a civil uprising would threaten the stability of the country.

However, the officials who were feudal nobles would not donate money to the victims, and would even enrich their own pockets during disaster relief. Because the people change or not, it has nothing to do with the interests of their family.

It can be seen from the simple act of 'giving relief to the victims' that the interests of who and whose interests are the same.

Who's against whom.

Therefore, if the dynasty wants to be long-lasting, it cannot compromise with the feudal aristocracy. Compromise with the feudal aristocracy is harming the people, and the result of harming the people will inevitably lead to instability.

And compromising with those feudal nobles is not Emperor Zhu's character.

There are only two emperors in history who chose not to compromise with the feudal aristocracy, one is Qin Shi Huang, who burned books and pit Confucianism, and the second is Zhu Yuanzhang. Qin Shi Huang couldn't get used to those people pointing fingers in front of the imperial power, so he cheated them.

Seeing the people who sacrificed their lives to save him at his feet, Lao Zhu burst into tears.

The royal family and the people of the world are on the same front.

In the past, they fought hard for the king to block arrows because they were kidnapped by the Confucian ideas of 'loyalty to the king' and 'filial piety'. But this time, they did it out of love for themselves.

Reward for one's dedication to the people.

The result seems to be the same.

But there is a world of difference.

And before they sacrificed their lives to protect them, more or less they wanted to get a posthumous reward and benefit their descendants. But this time, they sacrificed their lives without any utilitarian intentions.

"Erhu, bury him well, and give him the title of baron." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't make sense for you to give him a higher title, because he is alone." A common man next to him said boldly, "He only hopes that Your Majesty, you can do something practical for us poor people as before, and treat the 'untouchables' in the eyes of us nobles and lords as always." ”

"Our requirements are not high."

"We don't expect to be like those aristocratic lords, who eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas every day, and the wine and meat of Zhumen stink; We don't expect to marry a few concubines like they do. ”

"We just want to be fed and clothed, and live a stable life, it's enough."

"Although we are as humble as ants in front of those old men who spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and millions of taels of silver at every turn, we are not envious and jealous, we are willing to be humble."

"I'm afraid of those noble lords, who don't even want to let us live a humble life. One of their little willfulness can easily pinch us to death like crushing an ant. ”

"Don't worry!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We, we will definitely satisfy you." ”

"We will not only make your life stable and prosperous. will also make them never be masters again! ”

At this moment, Emperor Zhu had a strong impulse in his heart.

That is to flip the chessboard and pick up the butcher's knife.

No longer play the game of 'Nine Sons to Seize the Inheritance', and directly slaughter the feudal nobles.

Their assassination of the emperor is the best reason.

However, this seems to be a bit rushed, and the gains outweigh the losses. Once the owner strikes one of the wild dogs, the rest will immediately scatter as birds and beasts, and flee far into the mountains and forests.

So, he has to endure it now!

"The minister's escort is late, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" At this time, the commander of Jingwei had already come to Zhu Yuanzhang and knelt down to plead guilty.

"Excuse me." Emperor Zhu waved his hand, "Send someone to bury the dead villagers, and those who should be compensated will be given preferential pensions, and all the villagers will be dispersed." ”

"Erhu, how are the princes doing?" After leaving the dangerous place, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Erhu.

"Now behind the princes, their own power groups have been formed." Erhu replied, "There are princelings, Yanwang parties, and Qin Wang parties, each of which has a very strong background and power. ”

"The larger aristocratic forces in the country are almost all involved in the struggle for succession."

"They're all in the game at last!" Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long breath. I laid it out by myself, and finally saw the results. He did not hesitate to hurt himself, hurt the prince, and hurt Queen Ma, and finally let them fall into the trap and enter the chess game.
