Chapter 63
Ming dynasty.
The moment he saw Zhu Biao passing away from illness, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that all his strength had been drained from his body and looked at Zhu Biao in disbelief.
Zhu Biao also had a look of astonishment on his face. He was only thirty-eight years old in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu. He was young and strong and at the most glorious age in his life.
He died of illness at the age of thirty-eight, which was really surprising.
"Chongba, are you okay?"
Empress Ma couldn't help but worry when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about himself. Instead, he rushed to Zhu Biao and carefully looked at Zhu Biao's face.
It is now the twelfth year of Hongwu, which means that Zhu Biao's life There are still thirteen years to go. Naturally, nothing unusual can be seen when checking at this time.
Apart from feeling that Zhu Biao's eyes are a little black, Zhu Yuanzhang did not see anything abnormal.
"Biaoer, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Father, my sons and ministers are well."
Zhu Biao was just a little sleepy, but didn't feel anything else. After all, it was normal to stay up late every day to correct memorials. Zhu Biao felt that it was not a big problem. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he was still a little worried, and he immediately issued an order to let him go. All the doctors from the Imperial Hospital rushed over to treat Prince Zhu Biao.
For a moment, all the ministers outside the Fengtian Palace were a little worried. After all, Prince Zhu Biao was kind and loyal, and he would definitely be a rare virtuous king in the future.
If the Prince dies of illness, what will happen in the future? It is difficult for an emperor to have a benevolent king like Zhu Biao.
The only person on the court who was a little lucky was the fourth child Zhu Di. After all, if his eldest brother died of illness, then he might really be the emperor who was succeeded by Zhu Yuanzhang. In this way Come, you don't have to bear the reputation of being a traitor.
The imperial doctor arrived soon. After a comprehensive examination, everyone came to the unified conclusion that Zhu Biao was safe and sound, and there was nothing abnormal except for some false fire.
Zhu Yuanzhang Someone quickly prescribed Zhu Biao a medicine to reduce fire, and then issued an order to arrange for an imperial doctor to accompany Zhu Biao around the clock to ensure that no accidents occurred to Zhu Biao's body. For
Zhu Yuanzhang, the importance of Zhu Biao It goes without saying that Zhu Biao is not only his son, but also his heir. The position of prince belongs to Zhu Biao.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Di with a complicated expression. Maybe he had really wronged the fourth child. Maybe he will really pass the throne to Zhu Di in the future.
But that is all in the future. In this life, Zhu Yuanzhang will never let Zhu Biao leave him easily.
Ming Dynasty, Yongle Dynasty
"Brother, how wonderful would it be if you were still alive?"
Zhu Di looked at the scene where Zhu Biao passed away, and couldn't help but sigh for a lifetime, and said with emotion:
"If you were still alive, our Ming Dynasty would never be like this"
"What's the good thing about uncle's life? If your uncle were alive, old man, you would never be the emperor. Zhu
Gaoxu did not agree with Zhu Di's point of view,"The death of my uncle from illness proves that the old man is the real Dragon Emperor.""
"Shut up!!"
Zhu Di was instantly furious and scolded:
"What are the benefits of being an emperor?"
"Since I became the emperor, I have never had a comfortable life. Every day before dawn, I have to go to the morning court, correct the memorials every day until late at night, and sleep hard at night, as if walking on thin ice."
"My whole life has been ruined by that little bastard Jianwen. If my elder brother was still here, my life would probably be very different."
"I remember when I was the feudal king, my life was so comfortable every day and I could do whatever I wanted."
"If I want to lead an army to go to war, I will lead an army to go to war, sweep across Mobei, and seize the wolf as a surrogate. That is what I want to do. But now I have to look at other people's faces to even get out of the test."
As he said that, Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly knelt down and said:
"Father, I am wronged. The treasury is really empty...."
"Okay, okay!! I don’t want to hear you cry out for injustice!!"
Zhu Di did not give Zhu Gaochi a chance to cry out. On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu on the side curled his lips unconvinced. What's wrong with being an emperor?
Only when you become an emperor can you truly do whatever you want.
Besides, even if the uncle is still alive , he may not be able to cut the vassal, and Zhu Di will definitely not be his uncle's opponent by then.
As Zhu Gaoxu, who has lived in Yingtian all year round, he knows very well how popular Zhu Biao is among the people, and what kind of influence he has in the court.
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's unconvinced look, Zhu Di didn't say anything more. How could he not know that Zhu Biao would cut down the vassal even if he didn't die?
Just like himself, as long as he was a promising emperor, he would not allow the vassal to be established. The king's power is so huge, wouldn't he also cut down the vassal state?
But Zhu Di knew that if Zhu Biao cut down the vassalage, he would never rebel. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Unfortunately, in the world, After all, there is no if.
Now that he has become the emperor, he has also become a thief who will never change his country.
【Zhu Biao is the heir to whom Zhu Yuanzhang devoted all his efforts and is also the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang】
【Zhu Yuanzhang learned from the lessons of the Tang and Han dynasties, and has been trying every means to consolidate Zhu Biao's status. He also treats his other sons differently from Zhu Biao, so that these sons will not be tempted to compete with Zhu Biao for power. idea, so Zhu Biao’s position is very stable】[]
【But precisely because of this, when Zhu Biao, the prince who was almost recognized as the next Ming emperor, died suddenly, undercurrents began to surge in the court.】
【At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had twenty-six sons, including five legitimate sons, the eldest son, Prince Zhu Biao, the second-oldest King of Qin Zhu Fang, the third-oldest King Zhu Fan of Jin, the fourth-oldest King of Yan Zhu Di, and the fifth-oldest King of Zhou Zhu Ji】
【It stands to reason that after Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang should pass the title of crown prince to Qin King Zhu Chong according to the eldest son system.】
【But in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, only Zhu Biao was his son, and the other sons were just tools for him to rule the world.】
【Because compared with Zhu Biao, these sons could not catch Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes at all.】
【In the sixth month after Zhu Biao's sudden death, Zhu Yuanzhang made Zhu Biao's eldest son, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, and became the second generation prince of the Ming Empire.】
【Zhu Yunwen was only sixteen years old at the time. Interestingly, Zhu Yunwen was not his legitimate son, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many of Zhu Yuanzhang's legitimate sons.】
【The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did this was because he loved the prince Zhu Biao. By making his eldest son the grandson, it showed that the throne of the Ming Dynasty must belong to Zhu Biao's lineage.】
【On the other hand, although King Qin Zhu Feng was the eldest son, he had a bad record in Xi'an. How could Zhu Yuanzhang allow such a person to become the crown prince of the Ming Empire?】
【But what Zhu Yuanzhang did was destined to lay hidden dangers for what would happen later.】
【Ever since Zhu Yunwen was established as the emperor's grandson, he has been serving Zhu Yuanzhang. He behaves gentle, filial and thrifty, and is deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang.】
【Perhaps it was precisely because of Zhu Yunwen's filial piety that Zhu Yuanzhang saw the shadow of Zhu Biao in him, and finally chose Zhu Yunwen as his successor.】
【Zhu Yunwen was not his legitimate son. His mother-in-law was Concubine Lu, who was originally Zhu Biao's concubine. Concubine Lu's father was Lu Ben, who was just a secretary-general with a humble position.】
【Zhu Biao's wife was originally Chang Yuchun's daughter, but she died of illness not long after giving birth to her second son, Zhu Yunxi.】
【Zhu Yunwen is neither a legitimate son nor has the support of military forces. It can be said that his position as the crown prince is not stable.】
【Zhu Shaoguo suspected that the emperor was not only young, but also did not have strong military support. Zhu Yunwen's throne was destined to be bumpy.】
【Time flies by. In the 29th year of Hongwu, King Zhu Xi of Qin and King Zhu Fan of Jin passed away. Zhu Yuanzhang was devastated and his body became worse day by day.】
【But he also discovered Zhu Yunwen's problem, which was that he relied too much on civil servants and listened to partial beliefs. This made Zhu Yuanzhang very distressed.】
【If Zhu Yuanzhang could change Zhu Di to be the crown prince at this time, then there might not be so many tragedies happening in the future.】
【But Zhu Yuanzhang's heart finally softened when he was approaching old age. He did not give up on Zhu Yunwen and appointed Zhu Di, who was already the eldest son at the time, as the crown prince. Instead, he warned Zhu Yunwen that he must not fight against each other in the future. Zhu Yunwen agreed.】
【In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, after teaching Zhu Yunwen for six years, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly passed away, and the Ming Dynasty ushered in the era of Zhu Yunwen.】
【However, the tragedy has just begun at this moment. Place】
【Next, we will take stock of one of Zhu Di's crimes for the country's subjugation, which was that he raised troops to suppress the war and killed too many people. 】
