71: Zhu Gaoxun: Can’t afford to support a million royal family members? Throw them all to the battlefield! Zhu Qizhen was banned from speaking again to protect his position!

【Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian: Dear ancestors! My grandchildren have a question to report…….】

Zhu Di was obviously surfing at high intensity. Not long after Zhu Youjian sent out his message, Zhu Di’s message was connected.

【Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: Youjian, what’s the problem? Tell me quickly, I’ll see if I can help you solve it.】

【Ming Dynasty God of War Zhu Qizhen: Hahaha! Something went wrong, something went wrong! You guys are too cruel, you can even do this to your own bloodline! 】

After knowing his predetermined fate, Zhu Qizhen just broke the jar and took advantage of the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang and others would not kick him out of the group for the time being, and he started shouting in the group.

【Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: Ming Dynasty God of War Zhu Qizhen: Shut up! Otherwise, I will kill you even if I don’t have the upper limit of aid!】

【Ming Dynasty God of War Zhu Qizhen: My grandson knows his fault! My grandson knows his fault! Please give me a chance, I am willing to start over! 】

It is said that a good death is better than a miserable life……After Zhu Di made the statement, Zhu Qizhen immediately admitted his mistake.

【Ming Dynasty God of War Zhu Qizhen: Grandfather, please talk to Grandfather, and at least ask him to remove these jailers who are whipping your grandson. I really can’t bear it anymore!】

【Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: This is what you deserve! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian: Don’t mind me, just tell me what you want to say!】

【Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian: To Chengzu, the court finances are on the verge of collapse. There are too many royal families in the Ming Dynasty. After our ancestors defeated Li Zicheng, many princes went to the Imperial Clan Court to ask for their annual salary.】

【Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: Asking for annual salary? Just give it to him. How much can it be?】

【Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian:……】

【Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian: Chengzu, if there are a few thousand people, it may not be much. But the number of Ming royal family members, just those on the list, is more than 100,000. If we talk about relatives and illegitimate children, this data may be even more terrifying!】

【Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: What!? Hundreds of thousands!! The Yongle Emperor’s royal family only had 127 members!】

【Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian: This is the fact. The court can no longer afford it, but the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed, so the grandchildren have come to ask for instructions.

The above is what Zhu Yuanzhang saw when he opened the emperor chat group.

After seeing the number Zhu Youjian said, he was stunned…….How could the population of the Zhu family’s clan expand so quickly?

“Gao Xun!”Zhu Yuanzhang’s face turned pale, and he looked at Zhu Gao Xun and asked:”Is what Zhu Youjian said true? How could there be so many?”

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Youjian did not have the courage to deceive him, but he still found this number unbelievable.

In just two hundred years, there were already so many people. If the Ming Dynasty had more years,……These people might bring the Ming Dynasty’s finances to a standstill!

Zhu Yuanzhang even suspected that the financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period was closely related to the rapid increase in the population of the royal family.

This truth made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very heavy.

Because he was the one who set the treatment of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty, he knew very well what the consequences would be with such a huge base.

“Grandfather Emperor, this is certainly true.” Zhu Gaoxun said slowly:”My grandson, because of my practice, I can see some secrets of the future. People in the future said that the princes of the Ming Dynasty were a huge parasitic group. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the population of the royal family reached one million, and they devoured the Ming Dynasty alive!”

“Although the data is exaggerated, it is true that the Ming royal family brought a heavy burden to the people of the Ming Dynasty…….And it really exists”

“What! Millions?”

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang’s surprise, Zhu Gaoxun shook his head and said,”It’s just a rumor. Even if illegitimate children, abolished commoners, and royal women are counted, the number will definitely not exceed one million.”

After learning this, Zhu Yuanzhang’s face was still embarrassed. He had personally buried a shocking bomb for his descendants!

If there was no emperor chat group, even if Zhu Youjian could revive the country, the descendants of the royal family would probably become a cancer!

Zhu Gaoxun said just now-this is a huge blood-sucking group!

I thought I could seek some benefits for my descendants, but I never thought it would turn out like this.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to Zhu Gaoxun, and then replied to the message in the group.

【Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang: Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian: What do you mean by the ancestral law cannot be changed? These are all the words of sour Confucian scholars, we should cut off the relationship when necessary!】

【Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang: I just wanted to bless future generations, but I never thought that I would sow such a disaster. This is my fault! I am sorry for you.】

【Zhu Qizhen, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty: Taizu, Taizu! I know this! Those corrupt scholars advised me in the past, it’s really abominable! Grandpa Taizu, please, please tell these jailers to stop beating me! I always feel that one of them looks at me with a wrong look, he always looks at my butt! 】

A group of people were discussing serious matters, but Zhu Qizhen always jumped out, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very impatient,”Gao Xun, stop this guy from talking, we get angry when we see him’.!”

Zhu Gaoxun smiled and said,”I will be your group manager. You can ban others at any time in the future.”

【Group reminder: Group owner Zhu Gaoxun appoints group member Zhu Yuanzhang as group manager】

【Group reminder: Administrator Zhu Yuanzhang has banned Zhu Qizhen for twelve hours. Group members are requested to regulate their speech】

【Emperor Yongle: Administrator! I want it too. It’s a storage space, a supreme weapon!】

【Emperor Yongle: Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang: Father, it’s good that you banned me! I’ve been annoyed with this guy for a long time! I feel much better now. 】

Zhu Di looked at the group prompt with green eyes, his eyes full of desire,”Tsk tsk tsk, group management! I want it too, I must have it too!”

【Emperor Chongzhen: Grandpa, the grandchildren naturally know that they can be divided. But the base is too large, the grandchildren dare not act rashly, otherwise they would not ask for instructions. 】

After speaking, Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Zhan’an beside him and said,”Is this method really feasible?”

Zhu Zhan’an nodded and said,”Don’t worry, my father will definitely have a solution.”

【Emperor Tiancheng Zhu Gaoxun: Since it is difficult to solve, let them all gather in the capital! I will deal with them!】

【Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang: How are you going to solve this? This is a huge number!

After typing this sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaoxun calmly, his mood fluctuating…….Would Gao Xun want to kill all these people?

【Emperor Tiancheng Zhu Gaoxun: It’s simple. If you want annual salary, then go and fight for it yourself! Hand all these people over to me. I will train them in the army. Within a year, they will become a strong army.】

【Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: This is a good idea! The court has supported them for hundreds of years, and it is time for them to contribute.】

【Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang: Just do as Gao Xun said! It seems that our clan system must also be changed, otherwise it will inevitably become a big problem!】

【Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: My father is wise! My son supports me!】

【Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang: You have been waiting for this sentence for a long time, right? I am not going to retreat with you. I want to take Gao Xi to see your mother.】

【Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian: Thank you for the advice from our ancestors, I will go down and make arrangements right away.

After dealing with the issues mentioned by Zhu Youjian, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Gaoxun and Zhu Zhanyu to Kunning Palace.

Along the way, the eunuchs and palace maids they met greeted them one after another, but they were curious and shocked in their hearts. Who are those two people? They have never seen them before, and they are actually being led by the emperor himself to walk in the palace! ?

Outside Kunning Palace, it seems that the news has been received early.

Ma Xiuying took her personal maid and stood outside Kunning Palace waiting.

When she saw the figures of Zhu Gaoxun and his son, a bright smile appeared on her body, which showed how happy she was.

When the three of them approached, Ma Xiuying looked Zhu Gaoxun and Zhu Zhanyu up and down, and the smile on her face became even wider.

“Grandson Zhu Gaoxun meets the Empress Dowager!”

“Great-grandson Zhu Zhanyu meets the royal grandmother!”

“”Good, good, good!” Ma Xiuying’s eyes narrowed into slits with joy,”We have been looking forward to seeing you two here for a long time.”

Obviously, Ma Xiuying had received Zhu Yuanzhang’s notice in advance and knew some things.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, they walked into Kunning Palace together.

Zhu Gaoxun began to regulate Ma Xiuying’s body. After a while, Ma Xiuying’s originally slightly pale face quickly became rosy.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked anxiously on the side:”How is Gaoxun? Is our sister in good health?”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxun glanced at Ma Xiuying, then sighed and said:”The Queen Mother’s health is actually not a big deal, but……”

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly asked:”But what!?” (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang so anxious, Ma Xiuying first smiled, and then slowly said:”Zhongba, why are you in such a hurry? Let Gao Xun talk slowly. I know my body, there won’t be any big problems.”

If others persuaded him, Zhu Yuanzhang might be stubborn, but facing Ma Xiuying, he really didn’t have any temper at all.

Seeing this, Zhu Gao Xun slowly said:”Heart disease needs to be treated with heart disease. The Queen Mother is worried and sick, which has caused her health to deteriorate. In this case, even if the grandson has magical powers, it will be difficult to save her.”

“Worrying and becoming ill! ?”

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this.[]

He quickly thought of Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Biao. It goes without saying that Zhu Xiongying died early. As for Zhu Biao, he was probably the one he met last time in the 20th year of Hongwu.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang very anxious, because he had not yet told Ma Xiuying that Zhu Biao had become the emperor of the Shangwu Dynasty.

How could he explain this situation?

When Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious, Zhu Gaoxun spoke,”This matter is simple. My grandson will directly deify Xiongying, so that the Empress Dowager can see Xiongying and avoid worrying about him.”

Ma Xiuying was confused,”What is deification?”

“Let me tell you about it.”

Zhu Yuanzhang talked to Ma Xiuying with great interest. The latter looked at Zhu Gaoxun in surprise. His grandson not only cultivated immortality, but also controlled the reincarnation of the underworld?

Because she worshipped Buddha, Ma Xiuying was more accepting of these supernatural things than Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

“That’s great, that’s great!” Ma Xiuying was very happy, and then looked at Zhu Gaoxun and hesitated for a while before saying,”Gaoxun, can we ask you for a favor?”

“What’s the matter? Just tell me what you want.” Seeing Zhu Gaoxun agreed so readily, Ma Xiuying was relieved and continued,”We want you to check Biao’er’s health. Last time, Chongba said that he would die in the 25th year of Hongwu…….”

Ma Xiuying stopped talking at this point, because the meaning behind it was already very clear, and she believed that Zhu Gaoxun could understand it.

Zhu Gaoxun looked at Zhu Yuanzhang calmly.

Seeing the other party nod, he just said:”Grandma, I have taken care of my uncle’s health, don’t worry.”

“That’s good! That’s good!” Ma Xiuying smiled immediately,”I was so upset after hearing the news that I couldn’t calm down. Now that you have seen it, Gao Xi, I feel relieved.”

“The old Zhu family is lucky to have you, Gao Xun, you are worthy of being a member of our old Zhu family! Chongba, you have to be nicer to Gao Xun in the future, otherwise you won’t be able to get through this hurdle.”

While speaking, Ma Xiuying kept looking at Zhu Gao Xun, she really liked him from the bottom of her heart.

Then she seemed to remember something, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:”By the way, Chongba, where is Biao’er? Why can’t we see Biao’er?”

Unlike group meetings, when carrying out group aid missions, the time and space of each dynasty will not stagnate.

So Ma Xiuying hadn’t seen Zhu Biao for several days, but because Zhu Yuanzhang had greeted her in advance, Ma Xiuying didn’t worry about anything before.

Since Chongba is back, Biao’er should be back too….

Seeing the expressions of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Gaoxun, Ma Xiuying’s heart skipped a beat and she said to Zhu Yuanzhang,”Zhongba! Where is our Biaoer?”

“Don’t be impatient, sister, listen to my explanation”

“How can we not be anxious? That is a piece of flesh that fell from our body! The flesh of our heart!”

“Empress Dowager.” Zhu Gaoxun said hurriedly:”My uncle is now in the Jingtai Dynasty and has ascended the throne as the Shangwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.”

“What!?”

Ma Xiuying felt as if she was hallucinating, and couldn’t believe this fact for a long time.

Come to think of it, leaving the Hongwu Dynasty and going to the Jingtai Dynasty to be the emperor, this is a joke……

Seeing Ma Xiuying was anxious, Zhu Yuanzhang hurried to explain.

It took a lot of talking to make Ma Xiuying accept the fact.

When she heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to let Zhu Zhanyu be the successor, she smiled,”Good! This is good! I liked Yu’er very much when I first saw him. Anyway, they are all from our Zhu family, so it doesn’t matter who takes over.”

At this point, Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang meaningfully and said,”The question is, Chongba, how are you going to convince those people in the court?”

Changing an heir is not as simple as changing the person in charge at home.

After so many years of fighting for the country, Zhu Yuanzhang’s men had already formed factions in various aspects.

Each of these factions has its own interests.

And Zhu Zhanyu’s parachuting into the position of heir means that the original interest factions will suffer huge losses……For example, Lan Yu and others.

Or Zhu Yuanzhang’s sons, the eldest brother disappeared, and the old man chose someone who came out of nowhere as his successor.

Will Zhu Yuanzhang’s sons obey? Definitely not. Not to mention his sons, I’m afraid that Lu Shi in the Prince’s Mansion will not be willing either.

So……Zhu Zhanyu wanted to ascend the throne (to become the king of Zhao), but the difficulty was not comparable to Zhu Biao’s becoming the emperor in the Shangwu Dynasty. The latter could be said to have no difficulty at all, because Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di had the endorsement.

“It’s okay.” When talking about his old brothers in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became confident,”It doesn’t matter whether they support us or not, what matters is who we support!”

“That would cause endless trouble…….”Ma Xiuying took Zhu Zhanyu’s hand and sighed,”Your royal grandfather is so cruel that he wants to leave a mess for you to solve.”

“Girl you……”Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that Ma Xiuying was thinking about Zhu Zhanyu, but he was still angry,”Don’t you believe in my methods? It’s not easy for me to control those people!”

“Yes, yes, yes! It’s easy to catch him. Just find a reason to kill him if he doesn’t obey.” Ma Xiuying said angrily,”But Chongba, are you willing to kill your son? Not to mention the fourth son, who can control the rest except Biao’er?”

“Grandma! I have confidence in you!”

Zhu Zhanyu could only listen in confusion, but this did not stop him from expressing his opinion.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanyu said, Ma Xiuying smiled softly and said,”Don’t worry, Grandma will protect you. We are helping you…….”Team”

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, Zhu Gaoxun spoke up,”Actually, this problem is easy to solve.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes lit up,”Gaoxun, do you have any good ideas?”

“It’s actually very simple. Let the uncle come to Hongwu Dynasty first…….Just make the Emperor’s chat group public.” Zhu Gaoxun said slowly:”I will use my magical powers to build a priesthood system in the Hongwu Dynasty. For example, I will temporarily confer Xiongying as one of the Ten Yama Kings, and then confer Chang Yuchun, so that all officials can see the benefits, and then the matter will be easily resolved.”

“As for those vassal kings, I believe Yu’er will be able to solve it himself when the time comes. It won’t be a big problem!”

“Directly establish a clergy system?” Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree immediately,”Let’s see how Biaoer’s Hongwu Dynasty reacts first.”

“No problem, I’ll go find my uncle right away.” As soon as the words fell, Zhu Gaoxun disappeared in the hall, which surprised Ma Xiuying.
