Chapter 712 National Morality

The first person to stand out against Xia Yuanji was completely unexpected by Zhu Gaoxu. He was Zhao Ping, Marquis of Yongqing. After the death of a group of the most prestigious founding heroes at the beginning of the country, there were the Jingnan Campaign, the Annan Campaign, the Conquest of Crimes, and the Northern Expedition to Tatar soon after. The frequent wars in the Ming Dynasty kept the status of military generals high. Although the system had been changed during the Hongwu period, most military and political offices no longer allowed military generals to hold power, but the meritorious military generals still had the power of public opinion, and their words were always effective in the court; the participation of military generals in political discussions was not the original creation of Zhu Gaoxu.
