Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Yes, the Tumubao Incident was a watershed in the Ming Dynasty, just like the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, which directly brought down the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

"Being cruel to civil servants, the Ming Dynasty should be my father!" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, among all the emperors in China, my father is also one of the best."

"Fourth brother, what do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared.

"Dad, there's no point in talking about things." Zhu Di said quickly.

"Killing an official's uncle is definitely the first. There is no controversy. There has never been such a killing in the past dynasties. The uncle is the only one. Being an official in the Hongwu Dynasty was a very scary thing." Xiao Ran said.

"Huh! Corrupt officials should all die!" Zhu Yuanzhang suffered from wars in the late Yuan Dynasty and was oppressed by corrupt officials and could not survive.

He hated the corrupt official Zhu Yuanzhang from the bottom of his heart, and he would not show mercy when he killed him.

"The four major Hongwu cases are very explosive in any era in China. There is really no one who can kill officials in this way, and the only one is you."

"It is better to cry in one family than to cry together; it is better to cry to a hundred officials than to cry to the common people."

Xiao Ran nodded, "That's true. I like this very much. Corrupt officials deserve to die."

"Then why did you say it was Zhu Jianshen? Shouldn't it be us?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"The civil servants of the Hongwu Dynasty were weak, and they couldn't fight against my uncle, let alone you. You just didn't play by the rules. There was no such thing as overt and covert fighting. You just eliminated these officials physically. It didn't exist. The fight in the Hongwu Dynasty was a one-sided massacre, a unilateral killing, there is nothing to say."

During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang was already strong. In addition, the prime minister was deposed. Zhu Yuanzhang was in great power and the imperial power was highly concentrated.

"You are right to say that." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"The Yongle Dynasty of the old man was about the same. It was not as massacre as the Hongwu Dynasty. But the old man was also a decisive and decisive person. He was very strong and did not fight with the civil servant group. The civil servant group did not dare to provoke the old man. Fang Xiaoru was tough. , all the ten tribes have gone to the underworld to report, who dares to challenge!"

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Ran, "What's going on?"

"Fang Xiaoru is also a very famous scholar. After the Battle of Jingnan, he refused to surrender. He even cursed the old man as a traitor and clamored for him to destroy his ten clans. The old man is also a warm-hearted person, so he became Fang Xiaoru."

Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched slightly, and he was convinced.

"He's just a rotten scholar. If he had Yu Qian's talents, I wouldn't be able to do this." Zhu Di explained.

"Xiao Ran, please continue."

"The rise of civil servants was during the Renzong period. Renzong had a kind personality and was not as strong as his uncle and father-in-law."

"Did you get up during the period of Gao Chi?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

"Yes, this period happened to be a critical period for the formation of the cabinet. Sanyang was indeed very strong during this period, but Renzong was also a shrewd and capable man. He could suppress the civil servant group. Although the civil servant group gradually grew up, it had little influence and was still there. Within the controllable range, after all, there were no cases of civilian dictatorship and chaos in government during Renzong's reign."

"That's true!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"By Zhu Zhanji's Xuanzong period, the cabinet was more mature and more powerful. Zhu Zhanji was also a shrewd and capable emperor who could suppress the civil servant group."

Zhu Zhanji was an emperor with both civil and military skills, so these were naturally not a problem.

"Our guess is good. After Zhanji's absence, Zhu Qizhen was young, and during this period of time with the help of the Empress Dowager Zhang, the civil servants in the cabinet began to grow!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also expected it.

"Yes, my uncle is right. This is the state that the civil service group wants most. The emperor is young and easier to control. There are no problems in the Ming Dynasty during this period. On the one hand, the Empress Dowager is a sensible person, and Sanyang is also It can be said that he has integrity, and since Yu Qian is here, there will be no problem for Ming Dynasty."

"But during the Tumu Fort Incident, Sanyang was gone, and so was the Empress Dowager. Yu Qian was not a flatterer. He was severely marginalized in the court and could not be reused."

"The Wuxun Group was completely destroyed in the First Battle of Tumubao, and the Civil Service Group grew instantly. The defense of the capital was led by Yu Qian. On the other hand, Yu Qian was also a member of the Civil Service Group, and his contributions also accelerated the rise of the Civil Service Group. Because starting from Yu Qian, the civilian clique has taken control of the military."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "If you think about it carefully, it seems like this."

"The Ming Dynasty's civil servant group pursued the same goal as the Song Dynasty, where the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together."

Hearing what Xiao Ran said, Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists, "Damn it! These corrupt officials deserve to die!"

"The fact is that they did it. In the later period, the Ming Dynasty's foreign wars became more and more unbearable. It's really unbearable to watch."

"Is it so miserable?" Zhu Di didn't believe it.

"It's very tragic and outrageous. I'll tell you about the Japanese pirates later."

"It's normal for the military to collapse in the late dynasty, right?" Zhu Di said.

"In the late Ming Dynasty, civilian officials were in power, and there was political corruption and countless corruptions. The military situation was also terrible, and its combat effectiveness was definitely low."

Zhu Di nodded, "This has been the case in all dynasties!"

"The strong Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty are different. The Han and Tang Dynasties were the pinnacle of feudal history. This was unmatched and unsurpassed by other dynasties." Xiao Ran wanted to elaborate.

"Let's not talk about the peak period of the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu were fighting fiercely. At that time, the foreign tribes also did not stop, but the foreign tribes were treated as copies by the three families. The best example is that Zhuge Wuhou captured Meng Huo seven times. Cao Cao He also beat the nomads in the north into submission, and Sun Quan did the same in Soochow."

Zhu Yuanzhang could not refute, "That's true!"

"The same goes for the Tang Dynasty. Before the Anshi Rebellion, there was nothing to say about the strong ones. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was not weak. In the later period of the Tang Dynasty, although the Jiedu envoys separated the feudal towns, they did not allow foreigners to bully them. What happened when the Tang Dynasty perished? The Turks, Uighurs, and Tibetans were also taken away."

"In the middle period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates were disgusting."

"Alas, you are an unworthy descendant!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "We are going to have a good chat with them. We will not spare anyone who neglects his duties or slacks off in government affairs."

"It's too far off topic. In order to fight against the civil service group, the emperors after the Ming Dynasty supported the eunuchs. Uncle, isn't it just to monitor the officials?"

"We Jin Yiwei are not eunuchs!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"The old man's Dongchang must be a eunuch!"

"Yes, the eunuch is in charge." Zhu Di said.

"When Zhu Jianshen arrived, the problem he faced was that the Civil Service Group had begun to take shape, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang had also been infiltrated. He no longer trusted them."

Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang both frowned, not expecting it to go to this extent.

"So in order to better fight against the civil servant group Zhu Jianshen set up the West Factory. This West Factory is more powerful than the East Factory."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "This method is not bad. If Jin Yiwei and Dongchang don't trust us, that's all we can do. It would be the same for us."

"Is the missionary officer you mentioned before also meant to deal with the civil service group?" Zhu Di asked.

"Yes, this was also done by Zhu Jianshen."
