If you see it in the middle of the night, it is easy to scare people to sleep!

The main reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang killed too many people during his reign, and the people in later generations felt that he was a tyrant. So if you have to choose one of these two completely opposite portraits, people will naturally choose the one that fits the image of a tyrant better!

This is also human nature! However, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard this explanation, he was completely numb!

People in later generations actually believe that our Zhu Yuanzhang is a shoe horn face?

This should be said to be the worst time that Zhu Yuanzhang was blackened!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang himself knew that his wanton killings would definitely be criticized by people in later generations, he did it for the Ming Dynasty, so that Zhu Biao could be a more stable benevolent monarch! .

For this reason, he Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to bear the infamy! But even if he bears the infamy, he must be realistic, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang can admit what he has done, and you can say whatever you want, even if you say he is a tyrant!

But Zhu Yuanzhang is not a tyrant, but he is forced to be labeled with such an image. This is a bit of deliberate smearing and a bit of bullying! To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang can accept that people in later generations say he is a tyrant, but he is unwilling to accept that people in later generations think he looks like this!

As an emperor, he has lived a legend in this life!

From being penniless to being above ten thousand people, who can be as glorious as Zhu Yuanzhang?

Among the emperors of all dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang is unique!

He also believes that in front of his achievements, some flaws can not cover up his brilliance at all. As the saying goes, flaws do not cover up the merits. Even if some people say he is a tyrant, I believe that more people will think of his goodness!

So he believes that although his reputation after his death will be controversial, it should not be much different overall! But he couldn't accept that people in later generations thought that Zhu Yuanzhang looked like this!

Originally, he asked a painter to draw a portrait of himself, and he was also preparing to pass it down so that people in later generations could see "Nine Nine Zeros", but there was still a portrait with a shoe-horn face that popped up, and it was recognized by most people. Do you think he was angry?

For the whole morning, Zhu Yuanzhang was depressed because of this portrait of a shoe-horn face! He even had no appetite for breakfast!

Soon after, Zhu Biao left the morning court.

As usual, the first thing Zhu Biao did after leaving the court was to go to the imperial study to continue processing memorials!

But he was also a little curious today, why didn't the old man go to court again?

Did he activate someone's dream simulator again and watch it all night?

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao also looked forward to it.

But just when he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he heard Yunqi say that the old man had not even eaten breakfast this morning. He was alone in the imperial study, silent, and obviously in a bad mood!

Zhu Biao's heart skipped a beat. Could the old man have seen something bad in his dream again? ??

But when Zhu Biao walked into the imperial study, he found Zhu Yuanzhang sitting there in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking! He walked closer and saw the portraits in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands!

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the portrait of the emperor painted by the fourth son Zhu Di after he became emperor!

After Zhu Biao saw the person in the portrait clearly, his eyes widened immediately! "Dad...whose portrait is this?"

"Why does it look like the fourth son? He is wearing a dragon robe?"

Zhu Biao asked almost subconsciously! Although he also knew that after Zhu Yunwen became emperor, the fourth son and the fourteenth son rebelled one after another, but it seemed that the fourteenth son became emperor in the end?

Then where did this portrait of the fourth son wearing a dragon robe come from? "You are right, the portrait is indeed the fourth son, and he was painted after he became emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Biao's voice, and then he reacted, and then sighed lightly!

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide what happened to the lineage of the fourth son in the original history from Zhu Biao, so he naturally told everything he had to say! "But didn't you say that the fourteenth son became the emperor later?"

"The fourth son still failed to beat the fourteenth son in the end!"

"Then how could the fourth son still become the emperor?"

Zhu Biao asked in surprise.

"Originally, the emperor should have been the fourth son."

"Our future deduction system and the fourteenth son did not exist in the original history!"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly explained to Zhu Biao the things in the original history without the future deduction system! Zhu Biao also roughly understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant!

He knew that after the old man had the future deduction system, he could change history!

That is to say, the future when the Fourteenth Brother becomes the emperor, that is, the future after history is changed, if the original history develops, not only will the future deduction system on the old man not exist, but even the Fourteenth Brother will not exist!

Zhu Biao, who reacted, was even more unbelievable!

"That's right, last night, I asked the system to show me the original historical trajectory. In the original history, it was indeed the Fourth Brother who became the emperor..."

Zhu Yuanzhang then told Zhu Biao everything he saw in the simulator, including the news that the future deduction system told him later!

Even the fact that the Ming Dynasty lasted for 276 years and was seized by the Later Jin Dynasty, was not concealed! After listening to it, Zhu Biao was shocked for a long time before gradually accepting everything Zhu Yuanzhang said!

As the saying goes, there is no immortal dynasty, but when he learned that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and the Han Dynasty was once again ruled by foreigners, Zhu Biao was still very uncomfortable!

If the Han people still ruled the country after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao would think that this was just a normal dynasty change!

The general trend of the world is that long-term unity will eventually lead to division, and long-term division will eventually lead to unity. That is also veryIt was a very normal thing!

However, the one who caused the foreign race to seize the Ming Dynasty was actually the emperor of the lineage of the fourth son. Zhu Biao could not keep himself calm! Zhu Biao looked at this portrait of Zhu Di with a complicated expression on his face!

This look is indeed the fourth son!

Although it was painted, it can still be seen that the appearance is 70% close to the fourth son himself, there is no mistake about this!

"Dad, can you show us these portraits?"

Zhu Biao directly asked for these portraits from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not refuse and stuffed them directly into his hands.

At the beginning, it was relatively normal, and Zhu Biao was just looking at it for novelty, but soon, he saw the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang's shoe-horn face and showed a look of doubt! "Dad, who is this portrait of a man with a shoe-horn face?"

Zhu Biao's expression froze, but he was more confused!

The fourth son's lineage would not choose such a weird-looking descendant to be the emperor, right? This would damage the image and appearance of a great country! "This shoe-horn face... is our portrait!"

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a little heartbroken, slowly spoke.

Zhu Biao's eyes widened when he heard it, and it took him a long time to react to what Zhu Yuanzhang said! "Dad, this is not right, this is your portrait, right?"

Zhu Biao took out another portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang and reminded him!

After all, many painters had painted the old man's portrait before, and the best and most similar one was the one in Zhu Biao's hand, which was exactly the same as the one hanging on the wall in the imperial study!

This also shows that the real portrait of the old man must have been passed down to later generations!

"You know, I know, the emperor and the people of our Ming Dynasty should all know that I can't be like this!"

"But the problem is that after the Ming Dynasty fell, the foreigners insisted on smearing me and smearing the Ming Dynasty. What can we do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to simply explain the origin of this shoe-horn face to Zhu Biao! "You mean, this shoe-horn face was painted by the foreigners after they entered the pass in order to discredit you and the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Biao suddenly realized it after hearing this! But at the same time, he was also a little speechless!

These foreigners really did everything they could to discredit the old man! Isn't this method a bit too despicable?

"Yes, some people want to discredit me, but people in later generations actually approve of this portrait and think that Zhu Yuanzhang should look like this. Where can I go to seek justice?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very depressed!

To be honest, normally, even if the emperor of a country does not look good, he is definitely acceptable. If he looks ugly, he will not be supported as an emperor! What's more, if I really have such a shoe-horn face, theSister Ma Xiuying, can she still like him?

Zhu Biao was speechless when he heard this, and looked at the old man with a bit of heartache!

He didn't expect that the impression of the old man in later generations would be so unbearable!

Not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were still entangled because of the portrait of the shoe horn, Zhu Li, who was far away in Ganzhou, was in a very good mood these days!

During this period, with the implementation of various reform systems, the Northwest region, including Xi'an Prefecture and Hanzhong Prefecture, has been developing at an astonishing speed!

Especially in the business sector, there has never been such a prosperous scene as it is now!

It can be said that the overall economy of the Northwest region does not even belong to the entire Jiangnan region! In other words, at the economic level, the entire Northwest has the qualifications to compete with the court!

After all, the main source of tax revenue for the Ming Dynasty is the Jiangnan region! But even so, Zhu Li still feels that he is short of money! Because from the beginning to the end, he has been investing continuously. Even if he made money, he invested it in a new round of investment and construction!

In short, Zhu Li has no savings in his hands. He has to spend as much as he makes! Sometimes he even spends more than he makes!

So making money has become Zhu Li's top priority! Of course, with his mind, it is also very easy to make money!

Now the coal mines in Shaanxi have also started mining, and the two honeycomb coal factories in Ganzhou and Xi'an have also started production!

As long as the operation is proper and the output is increased, the income from this area will soon relieve Zhu Li's economic pressure!

Although the profit of coal cannot be compared with that of salt, it is definitely not to be underestimated!

In addition, Zhu Li also plans to develop sugarcane, and has sent people to Yunnan to start purchasing a large amount of sugarcane and transporting it to Ganzhou!

Ming Dynasty still mainly uses brown sugar, and the refining process of sucrose is currently only known by Zhu Jian, which is unique!

Sugar, if exported, especially to the Western Regions and other regions, will definitely make huge profits, even more than salt!

Of course, it will take at least one or two months for the sucrose refining factory to officially go into mass production, but there is one thing that can make Zhu Jian earn a large sum of money in the short term!

Because Zhu Zhanfeng’s fifth birthday is coming!

This is also the first birthday that Zhu Jian has celebrated for Zhu Zhanfeng after the father and son recognized each other! So Zhu Jian prepared to hold a grand celebration and directly sent invitations to all the wealthy families in the northwest!

First, it is to make up for the regret of not being able to celebrate Zhu Zhanfeng’s birthday in the past few years, and second, the more important reason is to make money!

Generally speaking, only the wealthy families in the northwest region can receive the invitation to this birthday banquet, or people who are close to Zhu Jian, such as the families of Zhu Jian’s generals!

As long as the northwestFor wealthy families, those who have received this invitation from Su Wang Zhu Jian are equivalent to being recognized by His Royal Highness Su Wang!

Ordinary people are not qualified to get this invitation!

Of course, the only thing these wealthy families who have received the invitation have to consider is that they have to prepare gifts that can be presented to Su Wang Zhu Jian's banquet!

This is equivalent to an investment, and no one will feel that they have suffered a loss!

Even if they send some vulgar things, such as gold, silver and jewelry, it is not shabby, and Zhu Jian is also very welcome to such guests!

For wealthy families like this, they are not short of money at all. What they lack is background and people who can support them behind the scenes!

Whether it is for the purpose of cooperating with Su Wang Zhu Jian to do business, or simply wanting to have a good relationship with Su Wang Zhu Jian, everyone is thinking about what kind of gift should be prepared to please His Royal Highness Su Wang or attract His Royal Highness Su Wang's attention!

This is the most important thing in their eyes! Zhu Jian also knows this, so he sent out invitations to Zhu Zhanfeng's birthday party, and this is not the first time he has done such a thing!

Or, this has become an unspoken rule known to most wealthy families in the northwest!

However, compared to Zhu Jian's father with impure motives, Zhu Zhanfeng, as a son, felt for the first time that his birthday was still valued to such an extent, and he was very happy!

After all, he is just a child who just turned five years old. How can he have so many twists and turns?

"Feng'er, you must always pay attention to etiquette at the birthday party. As the son of the Su Wang, your every word and action represents the image of your father and the entire Su Wang Mansion. Do you understand?"

Li patiently preached to Zhu Zhanfeng! "I understand, Auntie, don't worry! 0.8"

Zhu Zhanfeng nodded and promised solemnly... ....

Recently, Li has been teaching him many Han etiquettes!

In this regard, it is obviously impossible to rely on his mother, Saiga Sutusan, and Li, who has always paid more attention to education, is obviously the most suitable for the task of etiquette teacher!

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanfeng was still very resistant to learning these cumbersome etiquettes of the Han people!

But after studying for a few days, he found that Li's requirements for him did not seem to be so harsh. On the contrary, some etiquette methods were still very special, which made him interested!

The main reason was that Zhu Li had discussed this issue with Li in private. He asked Li to cultivate Zhu Zhanfeng's recognition of Han culture step by step, instead of giving him rules and regulations right away, which would only arouse his rebellious psychology!

After understanding Zhu Jian's intention, Li Shi did not use too harsh methods to discipline Zhu Zhanfeng. Instead, she gave him the greatest room to adapt and gradually changed his original bad habits from the details!

Not to mention, Zhu ZhanfengAlthough Feng's progress is slow, at least he is making progress every day. Some bad habits cannot be changed in a short time, but he also knows how to subconsciously start to restrain himself!

I believe that it won't take long for Zhu Zhanfeng to gradually adapt to the etiquette of the Han people! The etiquette of the Han people is definitely the most important part of Han culture. These etiquettes are rules!

As the saying goes, there is no square without rules. As long as the etiquette can be followed, it is equivalent to recognizing the Han culture from the heart!

This is why a department like the Ministry of Rites can also become one of the six departments of the court!

He is the root of scholars in the world and the root of Han culture!

Although Zhu Jian sneers at many of the current Confucian ideas, he does not deny that some of the Confucian ideas in the past still need to be studied! .
