Chapter 87 Adventures in the Park (25)

660 glanced at Zhao Peng and hesitated a little, but he finally spoke.

"What do you think of Zhu Yuanzhang? He was a great man. He expelled the Mongolian cavalry and made us Han people become the masters of the Central Plains again. He overthrew the shackles imposed on us by the Yuan court. Since then, we Han people have finally died and waited for others. He ended the endless troubled times and established a stable regime. The name of this regime is the Ming Dynasty! He is the glory of our Han people!"

At this time, Zhao Peng nodded and then signaled him to make some replenishment, so 660 also responded with a nod.

Zhao Peng thought for a while and said, "What I just said was the matter of conquering the world. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was very good at governing the world. The people at that time loved him very much. He was indeed a wise emperor, but he was really too wise."

At this time, 660 reached out and signaled Zhao Peng not to rush to continue, he had something to say.

"Brother Zhao, your family's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is a testament to the sun and the moon. Your ancestor killed Zhu Yuanzhang. However, no one in your family, including you, dares to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is not wise. In fact, it is not necessary. Brutality is tyranny. A person can be both wise and tyrannical. This world is very complicated, and many people cannot be completely defined by good or bad. A kind person also has times when he is cruel, and a vicious person also has times when he is good. For specific issues, a specific analysis is made. Your family is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The reason why your ancestor killed Zhu Yuanzhang can only explain one thing-your ancestor must have a reason to kill Zhu Yuanzhang. This reason is very sufficient! Basically, it is impossible not to kill."

Zhao Peng smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that if you don't kill it, you won't be able to do it. Zhu Yuanzhang was bloodthirsty, and killing officials was like killing dogs. My ancestors thought that if this continued, if you accidentally continue, our whole family would be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to find a chance to kill Zhu Yuanzhang so that our whole family can survive. After all, Jianwen is still more kind than his grandfather, at least not so bloodthirsty. You only see Zhu Yuanzhang killing those nobles. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang killed ordinary officials even more ruthlessly. One-third of the officials in the country were killed by him. Of course, there are indeed some corrupt officials, but more unjustly killing them. If you are greedy for fun, you will naturally kill them. This is nothing. But if you don't embezzle, he says you're ill-treacherous in your plan, and you'll still kill them. Those who are officials are almost out of their way."

660 nodded, "If I were your ancestor, I would kill Zhu Yuanzhang and continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Mongolian Yuan, established the Ming Dynasty, and allowed the Han people to stand up again. This contribution is indeed great. But we must understand. This great cause is not the merit of Zhu Yuanzhang alone, and many people have also put in their efforts. Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty is not equal to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty was not only Zhu Yuanzhang's generation of emperors. Zhu Yuanzhang made contributions, but the later cruelty. Killing him was actually good for officials and the people. Let me assume that if Zhu Yuanzhang really could live forever, his descendants would also hope that he would die. Of course, Brother Zhao, I think you are a very sincere person. Because you are not afraid of the Jinyiwei knowing this kind of thing?"

"Of course I'm not afraid anymore. Because this Ming Dynasty is no longer the world of the Zhu family."
