In the seventh year of Hongwu, the legitimate eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was born.
He who resides as the legitimate heir will surely ascend to t...
He still has many grand plans waiting to be realized, and he cannot be arrogant or complacent now, nor can he be pleased with his current achievements. Such a small accomplishment cannot even be attributed to Zhu Yunying.
He knew very well that without the solid foundation laid by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunying would have no opportunity to demonstrate his abilities. Even many of his generals and other generals were cultivated and discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang.
As an emperor who merely enjoyed the fruits of his father's labor and whose achievements were only due to the merits of his ancestors, Zhu Yunying certainly could not be complacent. To be arrogant because of his current accomplishments would truly be shameful.
He is currently only a ruler who maintains the status quo; he has not yet established a new foundation or achieved much.
No, that won't do. Now that I've come to this world and become the supreme ruler, I must do something to live up to my destiny and to feel at ease.
Zhu Yunying needed to work even harder. His grand plans and lofty ambitions could only be realized through continuous effort, a fact that Zhu Yunying was well aware of.
Zhu Yunying dealt with Zhang Rong without mercy. He would not tolerate a nobleman who disobeyed the law. Even though Zhang Rong's father had once been one of Zhu Yunying's trusted and beloved generals, that was unacceptable.
It wasn't that Zhu Yunying was cold-blooded and heartless, but rather that the law of the land forbade it. In such a case, Zhu Yunying could only "execute Ma Su with tears in his eyes." Perhaps this was also another warning to the military officers: the emperor would value military officers, but he would absolutely not allow them to embezzle, break the law, or disregard the law.
It must be admitted that Zhu Yunying's measures did have an effect and calmed Wu Xun down.
Although figures like Fu Youde are constantly making contributions, considering the military officials His Majesty has dealt with recently, we must recognize our own position and absolutely not cross His Majesty's bottom line.
