LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 89
【After Zhu Di invaded Yingtian, in order to make his ascension to the throne more legitimate and to appease the people of the world, he decided to ask Fang Xiaoru to draft an edict for his accession to the throne.】
【In fact, you can ask other people to draft the edict, but if it is written by Fang Xiaoru himself, it can have a better effect such as appeasing the people of the world, so this edict must be written by Fang Xiaoru.】
【On June 15th, the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Di defeated Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma in front of Taizu's spirit. At the same time, he summoned the civil and military ministers and wanted to succeed to the throne in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit.】
【Fang Xiaoru also came upon the call, and Zhu Di asked Fang Xiaoru to write an edict for his accession to the throne to atone for his past mistakes.】
【But instead of listening to Zhu Di, Fang Xiaoru did not write an edict on his accession to the throne. Instead, he cursed Zhu Di in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's soul as an unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind traitor.】
【Zhu Di's face was ashen, but he still endured it. He persuaded Fang Xiaoru, saying that he just wanted to imitate Zhou Gong to assist the government.】
【This sentence made Fang Xiaoru even more angry. He asked sternly: Since you want to be the Duke of Zhou, where is the King Cheng you are assisting?】
【Zhu Di was a little embarrassed and said: He died by self-immolation.】
【Fang Xiaoru continued to ask: What about the sons of King Cheng?】
【Zhu Di was confident: What the Ming Dynasty needs is an older monarch. If the emperor is young and ignorant, it will only harm the people of the Ming Dynasty.】
【Fang Xiaoru asked again: Where is King Cheng's younger brother?】
【Zhu Di was impatient. He told Fang Xiaoru directly: This is his family matter. 303 Now that he wants to succeed, you must write me an edict to ascend the throne.】
【After speaking, Zhu Di asked someone to bring out paper and pen to Fang Xiaoru, forcing him to write the edict.】
【Fang Xiaoru was unwilling to give in, but Zhu Di forced him to write, so Fang Xiaoru wrote four words in the imperial edict: Yan thief usurped the throne!】
【Zhu Di was furious. He shouted at Fang Xiaoru: Fang Xiaoru, aren't you afraid that I will kill your nine tribes?】
【Fang Xiaoru refuses to give in, even if you kill my ten clans, what will happen?】
【Zhu Di was overwhelmed by anger at this moment. He stared at Fang Xiaoru angrily. At this moment, there was only one word in his heart, kill.】
【Zhu Di fulfilled Fang Xiaoru's request. He ordered Fang Xiaoru to be killed and the ten clans were exterminated. At the same time, Fang Xiaoru was beheaded in half.】
【In front of Taizu's spirit, Zhu Di killed Fang Xiaoru and inherited the throne in front of him. He thought that this would make Fang Xiaoru surrender. However, even before his death, Fang Xiaoru still scolded Zhu Di.】
【After being cut in half, Fang Xiaoru dipped his fingers in his own blood and wrote seventeen consecutive words on the ground, before he died of anger.】
【There have always been only nine tribes in history, but before Zhu Di became emperor, he showed his cold and cruel side. In order to gather the ten tribes, he inventively added Fang Xiaoru's friends and students to the list of Fang Xiaoru's ten tribes.】
【Fang Xiaoru was a person who dared to resist rape. Although he died miserably, he was very valuable. His behavior should become a model for scholars. This is the integrity of scholars.】
【But as Yao Guangxiao said, Fang Xiaoru's death stained the literary world of the Ming Dynasty with blood, and also caused the scholars of Zhu Di's dynasty to lose the integrity that Fang Xiaoru had.】
【After Zhu Di killed Fang Xiaoru, he seemed to be completely possessed. He raised his butcher knife and started a crazy killing of those who had been loyal to the Ming Dynasty.】
【Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Ling Chi were executed, and the three tribes of Yi were destroyed.】
【Regarding Tie Xuan, his old rival, Zhu Di cut off his ears and nose, cooked it, and stuffed it into his mouth. Zhu Di asked:"Is it sweet?" Tie Xuan replied:"Why not be willing to take the meat of a loyal minister and a filial son!" Ling Chi killed his son.】
【Lian Zining, Ling Chi, exterminated the clan】
【Zhuo Jing, Ling Chi, Genocide】
【Chen Di, Ling Chi, killed his son】
【Tie Xuan's wife and daughter, Fang Xiaoru's daughter, Qitai's wife, and Huang Zicheng's sister were hired into the Jiaofang Department as a dancer.】
【These people should have been the essence of the Ming Dynasty. They were loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Now that Zhu Di is the master of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di should accept these people as his ministers with a broad mind.】
【Throughout the ages, how many people have used their charisma to subdue the enemy's capable ministers and generals after defeating them?】
【But Zhu Di chose the most extreme and violent approach】
【The death of these people is destined to be a loss for Ming Dynasty and a loss for Zhu Di.】
【Perhaps, Zhu Di's heart was not as strong as he showed. He felt that his throne was not from a legitimate source, so he was worried that another person would follow his example and take away his position.】
【He is afraid of the talk in the streets, so he continues to kill those who once opposed, whitewash history, and modify the facts】
【He wanted to use this to prove his legitimacy, but the reality was exactly the opposite. After all, history still left evidence of his cruelty.】
【In any case, Zhu Di ascended the throne. He held his own coronation ceremony in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's soul. His coronation edict was written by another talented man of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Jin himself.】(bidc)
【After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he abolished the reign name of Jianwen, changed the country's name to Yongle, and established Yingtian.】
【Zhu Di finally won. He accepted the worship of the ministers. This was what he deserved. He had worked hard and now it was time to be rewarded.】
【From an emotional point of view, Zhu Di had no choice but to raise troops to quell Jingnan. He was forced to do so by Zhu Yunwen. Therefore, he won the throne. Although it was legally illegal, the people of the world sympathized with his experience, so it was considered popular. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
【But after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he made the same mistake as Zhu Yunwen. He was too guilty of himself and was always worried that his throne was unstable, so he was very suspicious.】
【This also caused Zhu Di to kill too hard when he first came to the throne.】
【During the Four Years of Rebellion, the people of the Ming Dynasty were displaced, the national power of the Ming Dynasty was severely depleted, and the population decreased by nearly 5 million people. This was a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty.】
【These are all Zhu Di's sins, and he should also bear his own sins. 】
Datang, Zhenguan period
"It is really unbelievable that Zhu Di would end this extremely difficult Jingnan battle with such a dramatic scene."
After Li Shimin saw Zhu Di entering Yingtian and ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, he immediately said with emotion:
"The vassal king who used a small area to fight against the world and finally became the emperor should be regarded as unprecedented."
"During the Seven Kings Rebellion of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Jin Dynasty, which of these vassal kings was not stronger than Zhu Di? But the result is that they are all dead."
"Zhu Di has been able to reach this point because of his strength, but his luck is also really good."
"If it weren't for the assistance of two strong winds of heaven and the coincidence of the three cannons fired during the Battle of Lingbi, Zhu Di might not have been able to reach this step at all. This Zhu Di was really the son of destiny."
Li Shimin was a little envious of Zhu Di's luck. He thought that the Xuanwu Gate incident was also very dangerous. At that time, all the soldiers and horses in the capital were controlled by Prince Li Jiancheng, and he only had 800 soldiers. Once Li Jiancheng was aware of it, he would die. That person was myself.
Fortunately, I did everything right, so I successfully killed Li Jiancheng and won the throne.
Compared with Zhu Di, I was the second son to win the throne, but Zhu Di seemed to have a much harder time than me. This is also the reason why Li Shimin admires Zhu Di.
Seeing that Li Shimin has a feeling of sympathy for Zhu Di, Wei Zheng went out to remind Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, although Zhu Di is brave in fighting, he must still be a little less ambitious than Your Majesty."
"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he did not purge the courtiers like Zhu Di."
"If Zhu Di could be as broad-minded as His Majesty, so many loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty would not have died tragically."
Wei Zheng himself is an old minister of the East Palace and was pardoned by Li Shimin. He is naturally the most qualified to say this.[]
When Li Shimin heard that Wei Zheng finally praised himself, he was in a good mood and said with a smile:
"It's really not easy to get a compliment from Wei Zheng."
"Zhu Di may have had reasons to do this because he had no choice but to do so."
"I just don’t know if Zhu Di will be so cruel to the people after he becomes emperor?"
"If this is the case, this Zhu Di is really not worthy of the title of emperor.".......The dividing line..
