In the palace, Zhu Yunwen found Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Grandfather Huang, are you too harsh on the Kong family?"

"Huh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled, how could Zhu Yunwen say such a thing.

Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a while, but still said boldly.

"The Confucian family is the descendants of the saints, and the emperor's grandfather executed so many Confucian children together and exiled them, will it make people feel that they are too harsh on scholars."

Zhu Yuanzhang was noncommittal, but said lightly.

"Then do you see the ministers of the DPRK and China, have they interceded for the Kong family? did such a deceitful thing to destroy the ancestors, few scholars would still protect them, not to mention that I mentioned that Nankong Dangyan Holy Prince, and he didn't directly abolish this title, what else could they be dissatisfied with? ”

Zhu Yunwen still wanted to say something, in his opinion, the Kong family's annexation of land or something, it was nothing, and there was no real rebellion.

As for burning down the Confucian Temple, it was only because He Qiu was too urgent.

However, since Zhu Yuanzhang has made up his mind now, Zhu Yunwen doesn't dare to say anything more.

In the next few days, the news of His Royal Highness Taisun's intercession for the Confucian family suddenly began to circulate in the government and the opposition, and every rumor reflected His Royal Highness's admiration and love for scholars.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned the news, he stood in the study for a long time without saying a word, and he was really more and more disappointed in Zhu Yunwen.

If you want to learn from Zhu Biao, it's not a problem, but Zhu Biao was a practical person who worked hard to save him at the beginning, and he may have a little shortcoming, but he is still very talented after all.

But Zhu Yunwen lost his grandson's reputation, what can he get back for interceding with the Kong family?

Beikong's reputation has become stinky, and scholars can't avoid them, and Nankong is now attacking the Holy Duke of Jueyan, and Zhu Yunwen is embarrassing Nankong by doing this.

It is no exaggeration to say that the master of Beikong has a bad record, and there is absolutely no framing in handling the case according to the law of the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Yunwen is now spreading the word by himself, saying that he sympathizes with Beikong or something, isn't this slapping the face of the Three Law Division and Jinyiwei?

What will the officials who aspire to the New Deal think of him?

didn't think about anything, just learned from his father Zhu Biao, and only learned the fur, and didn't understand the essence at all.

At the beginning, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang were singing double reeds, Zhu Yuanzhang was a white face, ruthlessly rectified, and Zhu Biao was a red face to appease the officials.

If you take a closer look, you know that if it were those who really deserved to die, Zhu Biao would never help to intercede, and it was those who had no crime and were implicated in the case that Zhu Biao would stand up and help intercede.

Does the Kong family meet this condition? If it is according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to kill all these people, and now most of them are sentenced to exile, which is already for the sake of Confucius's face.

Zhu Yuanzhang called Tang He gloomily, and this time the two old friends did not play chess.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Tang He to a tea field opened up in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang had not been here for some time, and the weeds here had grown to the height of his calf.

Tang He still understands very well, knowing that even if Zhu Yuanzhang has something to say, he will wait until the work is finished, pick up the hoe without saying a word, and go to work in the field.

The two elderly people, their energy is not as good as before, after working for a while, they are sweating on their foreheads and panting, but Zhu Yuanzhang's mood is inexplicably better.

Handing over the hoe in his hand to the waiter on the side, Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He sat on the ground, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, looked at the waiter who took over their work, and said abruptly.

"Dingchen, did you say I did something wrong?"

Tang He didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang said, so he returned honestly.

"I don't know what Your Majesty is talking about, so naturally I can't judge right or wrong."

Zhu Yuanzhang's mind is very complicated, is his policy of dividing the feudal kings wrong, or should he say that his strategy of setting the prince is wrong?

It all seems wrong! It's a failure to think about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

"I thought it would be a good strategy to divide the feudal domains, the feudal princes, take it as an imperial fence and consolidate the Ming Dynasty, but how long has it been."

"The vassal king had a rebellion in his heart, colluded with his ministers, and killed the crown prince, and then the prince always wanted to cut the domain. Cutting the domain, cutting the domain, this is his own uncle, how can he do it? ”

Tang He lowered his head deeply, held his breath, and didn't dare to come out, now that Zhu Yuanzhang is talking about this topic, he doesn't dare to speak, saying it wrong is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!

couldn't hear Tang He's response, Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied, and originally wanted to get angry.

But Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tang He, who had gray hair, a lot of age spots on his face, and a bent back, and couldn't bear to scold him again.

Tang He is already old, and he doesn't dare to take such a big risk anymore, Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.

"Just say, I forgive you for your innocence!"

Tang He hesitated again and again and said tentatively.

"What did the minister say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and Tang He had the courage to say something.

"There is nothing wrong with what Your Majesty thinks, our ministers have discussed it at the beginning, and I think that the reason why the Song family is declining is because the imperial family is too weak, and there are people who dare not kill Wenchen, who are emperors, have no cronies in their hands, and have no knives and handles, of course they will be played by Wenchen."

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed slightly, whether it was in the past or now, he looked down on the emperors of the two Song Dynasty, especially the so-called Song Renzong, who were sprayed in the face by the ministers, and they couldn't help each other, is such an emperor still an emperor?

"And the feudal princes opened a strong imperial power, so that the emperor would not become a lonely person, and it was originally conceived, if there is really a case, the Ming Society will be subverted, if there are feudal kings, it may not be possible to renew the Ming Dynasty, just like the old things of the two Han Dynasty."

"It can be seen that Your Majesty is far-sighted, and this strategy is indeed correct."

After listening to Tang He's words, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily and said.

"You old slippery head!"

Tang He smiled slyly and did not refute.

Because he really played a trick here, what he said was what the ministers discussed at the beginning, which is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to divide the kings in the first place.

"Well, I can't make up my mind!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked a few steps as he spoke.

The Han and Jin dynasties were divided, but there was also a phenomenon of rebellion among the vassal kings, and the Song and Yuan dynasties did not divide the feuds, but the ministers were in charge, grasped the power, and regarded the emperor as nothing, which also made Zhu Yuanzhang vigilant.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was also very good, so that his sons supported each other and created the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty together.

However, the king of Jin entangled the people and horses in the Jinyi guard and some other people, and the assassination of the prince sounded the alarm for him.

In the eyes of these adult princes, flesh and blood affection is not worth anything at all, and it is not as real as the position under his old Zhu's buttocks.
