Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and said with murderous intent.

"Hiss, kill someone?"

When Chongzhen heard this, his heart felt cold.

This emperor's ancestor is indeed as cool as recorded in historical books.

Before, in the hall, in full view of everyone, more than 20 ministers were killed without blinking.

Now, I'm going to kill someone again!

This time, I don’t know how many people are asking for the head to fall.

"Some time ago, didn't you ask those officials to donate money to raise funds? You only raised 20,000 taels of silver in half a month. Do you know why?"

Seeing Chongzhen still looking confused, Zhu Yuanzhang explained patiently.

"I don't want to say anything else, I only have one sentence to tell you boy!"

"Everything is because your knife is not sharp enough and you don't kill enough people!"

"Emperor, not only has power, but also has power!"

"And what is power? That is the power of murder!"

"Sir, it's just a dog you raise! If a dog is disobedient and you don't teach it a lesson, will it still be afraid of you in the future?"

"I guess we don't need to explain the principle of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, right?"

"You don't have to worry about killing all the ministers, no one will do anything!"

"There is nothing in this world, but there is no shortage of scholars!"

"Even if all the civil and military officials in the court are killed, they can quickly reorganize the team. A lot of people want to be officials!"

Hearing this, Chongzhen disagreed.

Just kill someone, who can't do it?

He reigned for seventeen years and also killed many ministers, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was killing people without blinking.

But it's useless!

From the early years of Chongzhen, I can't remember how many people he killed now.

But unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty still reached its point of destruction.

At this moment, Chongzhen felt that even Emperor Taizu was unable to turn things around in the face of the current chaos of the world.

"Emperor, I have also killed a lot of people, but it's useless!"

Thinking of this, Chongzhen hesitated for a moment and said.

"You guys know nothing!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he blew his beard and stared at him.

"You kid doesn't know how to kill people at all, nor does you understand the emperor's tactics of weighing the trade-offs. You only know how to kill people by chance!"

"First of all, killing Wei Zhongxian when you ascend the throne is a bad move!"

"If the minister is the emperor's slave, then the eunuch is a dog raised by the emperor!"

"Why did your brother respect Wei Zhongxian? Didn't he use him to fight the Donglin Party?"

"You guys, you cut off Wei Zhongxian as soon as you came on stage. What a great guy!"

Speaking of this, he became angry.

Chongzhen simply knew nothing and did nothing as raw melon seeds, and he did whatever he wanted as soon as he came on stage.

It’s like a young man who just entered the bridal chamber and was unable to find the hole and used his strength. It would be strange if he could feel comfortable.

"But, Wei Zhongxian is full of sins and it is difficult to calm the public's anger if he doesn't kill him!"

Chongzhen still felt that he had done nothing wrong and spoke up to defend himself.

"What we mean is not that we can't kill Wei Zhongxian, but that you are too anxious!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and explained: "We have said before that he is just a dog used to deal with the Donglin Party!"

"Although this dog was raised by your brother Apocalypse, you might as well continue to use it!"

"Even if you don't like it, you can raise your own dog!"

"When the dog you raise grows up and can take over his shift, you can chop Wei Zhongxian up!"

"In this court, there are carrots and pits. No matter who you want to cut off, you must first think of a successor and put your own people in!"

"You guys are fine. You are just smart before doing things. You can kill people without saying a word, and you don't want to take over the job!"

"After that, the Donglin Party was dominant, and all the officials united to do the right thing to you. Is this okay?"

"This is not good!"

"The emperor is the first priority to weigh the trade-offs!"

"You have to let the ministers below divide into two camps and let them bite the dog so that you can mediate in the center!"

"According to the power of the court in Hongwu years, civil officials are a faction, and nobles and military generals are a faction. They each form their own formation, hostile to each other and cooperate with each other!"

"If one overwhelms another, you will have to support the weaker ones and always keep them in balance in power!"

"Okay, the knowledge here is very profound. You kid learn it slowly!"

"We are not afraid to tell you that we won't stay here for a long time. After helping you stabilize the situation, we will go back!"

"If you still can't become a qualified emperor by that time, don't blame us for being polite!"

"I have millions of children from the Ming Dynasty royal family, but we don't believe it. We can't find a wise king to take over the throne!"

"You should take care of yourself!"

After teaching Chongzhen a lesson, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his sleeves and left, leaving behind the thoughtful Emperor Chongzhen.

In the cold Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen was left alone in the presence.

A cold wind blew up, causing Chongzhen to come back to his senses.

His face looked a little ugly, and he murmured to himself: "It's not that I'm incompetent, it's really those ministers who have let my expectations down!"

"The Emperor's words must have some truth. I can learn what I don't understand, but I can't take away my throne!"

"Even the Emperor's Ancestor, it's not possible!"

Speaking of the latter, his face became extremely ferocious.

While Chongzhen was learning how to be a good emperor, he witnessed the great power of Emperor Taizu with his own eyes.

In just three months, Chongzhen's views were subverted.

Under the rule of Emperor Taizu, the entire Shuntian Prefecture turned from dead silence to vitality.

The plague in the city was effectively controlled, and the price of food that had been high has been suppressed.

The refugees who were wandering outside the city were properly resettled and the people's hearts were settled.

The originally messy city of Peking was peeled off in the hands of Emperor Taizu, and became well organized, restoring the previous order.

What puzzled Chongzhen even more was that those officials who had been mediocre in his hands became very capable when they fell into Taizu's hands.

They all do the work they have done quickly and well, just like a different person.

If the entire Beiping City had not been subject to military control and martial law, countless ministers and nobles would have been beheaded every day at Caishikou.

Every day, people are raided and exterminated, killing people to their heads and blood flows into rivers.

Chongzhen all had the illusion of a peaceful and prosperous era in the world.

When it comes to murder, Chongzhen could not catch up with him even compared to Emperor Taizu.

In just these three months, there were much more people killed by Emperor Taizu than those killed during the seventeen years of Chongzhen's reign.

However, the consequences of being a murder are completely different.

His Chongzhen killing was a threat to others, and the court was in chaos and complaints were everywhere.

However, Emperor Taizu killed people, but no one dared to complain, and everyone applauded.

Compared with the two, it is simply a difference.

Not only that, he killed people and got nothing, but only got a stigma.

Emperor Taizu not only praised him for his murder, but also obtained countless money.

According to incomplete statistics, in these three months, more than 30 million taels of silver were collected, and countless other real estate were collected.

Such thunderous means and such a way to make a fortune opened Emperor Chongzhen's eyes wide open.

It's like discovering a new world.

So, can you still play like this when you become an emperor?

Damn, that simple?
