Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

But thinking about it this way, it seems to make some sense.

After all, Zhu Houzhao is not a very kind person. He doesn't care whether any of the victims are innocent. He hates this group, so no matter how many people die in this group, he definitely doesn't care.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran said: "It's really possible. Zhu Houzhao has never been a soft-hearted person. Even because there was an uprising at that time, he directly peeled off the skin of the leader of the uprising and made it into a saddle. It is said that he Later, when riding and shooting, I often used this human skin saddle."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt that this was not merciful, it was simply cruel!

In this way, he felt that his previous guess was correct.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed the uprising, so he asked: "But what did Zhu Houzhao do? Otherwise, why would the uprising happen?"

Xiao Ran said: "Actually, the main causes of civil uprisings are land annexation and refugee issues. It seems that Zhu Houzhao happened to be lucky. Since he came to the throne, natural disasters have continued everywhere, either heavy rains, fires caused by lightning, and even A meteorite falls, and as a result, the number of refugees increases."

"The problem of land annexation was very serious at that time. It was difficult for the refugees to have their own land, so naturally they could not get relief. As a result, there would be more people who rebelled."

In fact, it is thought-provoking. If Zhu Houzhao was really ridiculous, how could the reason for the uprising be like this?

Zhu Yuanzhang hissed softly, "This boy is in trouble."

Xiao Ran nodded, "Indeed, it is normal to have natural disasters. It is a natural phenomenon, but it is strange that he can catch up with this falling meteorite."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not express any further views on this matter, but asked: "How did he solve the insurgents?"

Xiao Ran felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was asking nonsense, so he said speechlessly: "It's already been made into a human-skin saddle, so of course it's solved."

Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied, "That's pretty much it. What's the use of just playing tricks with those civil servants? You have to be capable!"

"That's not all." Xiao Ran said, "When Zhu Houzhao came to the throne, the Tatars became restless and began to invade. Fortunately, their little prince was busy unifying the Tatars at the time. Although they invaded repeatedly, the scale was not very large. .”

"Until the eighth year of Zhengde, with the unification of the Tatars, the little prince's invasion became more serious. In the twelfth year of Zhengde, he led an army of 70,000 to the south, defeated Pan Hao, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, and captured three thousand people. Seven hundred and forty-nine people plundered more than 23,500 livestock.”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "These Tatars! They are too arrogant!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Ran and asked, "How did this kid do it?"

Xiao Ran said: "Zhu Houzhao has lived up to your expectations. He made a decision, that is, to conquer in person! Moreover, he did not discuss this decision with others at all. When the people in the cabinet knew about it, they pursued him the next day. The people on the Shahe River were admonished and blocked, but Zhu Houzhao didn't listen."

"Zhang Qin, the censor of the customs patrol, not only went to Shu to dissuade him three times, but even closed the door tightly before Zhu Houzhao arrived at Juyong Pass. No matter how Zhu Houzhao sent envoys to urge him, he would not let him go. Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to return to Beijing first, but he wanted to drive him I haven’t given up on my personal expedition yet.”

"So after more than twenty days, Zhu Houzhao took advantage of Zhang Qin's inspection in other places, and went out incognito. He insisted on conquering it personally. This time he succeeded, but the little Tatar prince saw that there was nothing he could do. They took advantage and retreated. From then on, although they were still harassing the border, they no longer dared to invade in large numbers."

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table. This time he was not angry, but happy.

"Hahaha! What a boy! You have the courage! You did a good job!"

It could be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang was really happy, so Xiao Ran told him a piece of news that made him happy and angry at the same time, that is: "Zhu Houzhao was also the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty who personally conquered the country."

On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy that Zhu Houzhao had the courage to conduct the expedition himself, but on the other hand, he was angry that the other emperors did not even have the courage to conduct the expedition himself, and his expression looked extremely strange.

Xiao Ran pushed the water towards Zhu Yuanzhang again and continued: "In any case, Zhu Houzhao did lead the troops to resist the Tatars and won. This is an indelible fact. Moreover, he is also proficient in many languages. He is When he was in power, the clan Anhua King Zhu Zhixiu and Ning King Zhu Chenhao successively raised armies to seize the throne, but they were both suppressed."

"So it is definitely impossible to say that Zhu Houzhao is a person without ambition."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and asked, "Then what's the point of saying he's ridiculous?"

Xiao Ran chuckled, "Of course it's true. Zhu Houzhao's absurdity is also true. Let's talk about his personal expedition. Originally, it was nothing. Although it is a bit dangerous, in the end it still makes people think that he is a brave emperor."

"But the absurd thing is that not only did he give himself a pseudonym, he also gave himself an official position and a salary under the pseudonym. After quelling the war, he rewarded himself for his merits."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry. After all, although this was indeed ridiculous, fortunately it was not a big deal, at least it did not involve the foundation of the country.

It was more like fulfilling a dream of his own.

But what Xiao Ran said next made Zhu Yuanzhang angry, because Xiao Ran said: "Zhu Houzhao also has a 'hobby', which is to imitate Cao Cao."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't react at first. After all, Zhu Houzhao himself was the emperor, and he didn't need to rebel.

But after he reacted, his eyes widened immediately, "You mean?"

Xiao Ran nodded with certainty, "It's just what you think. He and Boss Cao have the same hobby, which is to like wives. At first, he searched for those from high-ranking families. Later, he didn't even look for civilian widows. Let it go.”

Zhu Yuanzhang placed the water glass in his hand heavily on the table, "This beast!"

Xiao Ran added fuel to the fire: "And it's not just widows, he also collects male favorites. He selects handsome ones from the eunuchs in the palace to favor him, even outside the palace. For example, he is in Yang Yi The Qing family saw Yang Zhi, a singing boy, and was attracted by his fair complexion. They named him mutton-fat jade and followed him back north."

"I also noticed a singer named "White on the Head" in Xuanfu, and joked: "My head is white, so I don't know if my waist is also white?" Then the singer was castrated because the eunuch around Zhu Houzhao They speculated that by asking this question he was hinting at bringing him into the palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry now. He didn't care that he was still here with Xiao Ran. He threw the water glass in his hand and said, "It's so ridiculous!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to throw the kettle down at him, Xiao Ran quickly picked up the kettle and said, "You are so angry because you are so angry. Don't smash things! You bought it with a lot of money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "In the worst case, I'll just pay you one."

But after Xiao Ran's interruption, he was not so angry anymore.

Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly and went to sweep up the water glass that Zhu Yuanzhang had smashed. It would be bad if it pricked his foot.

After he finished cleaning up, he took out another water glass, held it with his hand, placed it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "Do you have such a water glass?"
