Chapter 677 Old Zhu's Son-in-Law
In the early years of the Yongle reign, upon hearing these words, Zhu Di slammed his fist on the table in anger, his voice cracking: "Who, who is she talking about? I, Zhu Di, fight on horseback and govern the country on foot. Would I, the Emperor of the Great Ming, be the lecherous old man she speaks of?"
Zhu Gaochi stepped forward to comfort him, "Father, it's just what later generations are saying, don't take it to heart." He thought to himself: Father's behavior of demanding tribute women is indeed damaging to his image!
Zhu Gaoxu secretly curled his lip. Ever since he realized that he had no hope of winning the throne, he had been giving up.
My nephew is a heartless scoundrel, a true descendant of his grandfather. He's got kung fu skills, but he'd rather his elder brother live a little longer!
"Dad, there's no use in getting angry. It's already been written down. If all else fails, you can do what the fourth prince of the Qing Dynasty did: find a book, add a few lines, and say that they were made to be cooks!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's face darkened, and he immediately aimed at the Prince of Han's head, casually tossing a memorial over to him.
Do you want us to be ridiculed by the whole world?
More than two hundred years later, Emperor Yongzheng sneezed several times.
Zhu Gaoxu skillfully dodged: "How could that be, Father? I just saw you care and wanted to give you an idea!"
Zhu Gaosui chuckled to himself. His father's image had been ruined, hahaha. He was going to tattle on him to his mother later!
Emperor Yongle (Zhu Di) was indignant, as was Emperor Hongwu (Zhu Di): "Slander! Utter slander!!!"
Prince Zhu Shuang of Qin joked, "It seems that Yongle's reputation is damaged, and he has a lot of romantic escapades."
Zhu Di's face darkened further, and he denied it three times: "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhu Yuanzhang coughed and thought to himself, "My fourth son is so old, yet he still wants young girls. He's more of a womanizer than I am!"
But he never expected that the next fire would reach him, making him so angry that his heart ached.
People from other timelines had their eyes light up when they heard this kind of gossip, hoping that more could be said. They expressed their love to hear it, as it was rare to hear gossip about the emperor!

Back to the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke continued: "Zhu Di's harem was like this. Old Zhu's harem also included Goryeo concubines, such as Consort Gong and Consort Han."
"Her daughter, Princess Hanshan, lived longer than some of Zhu's children, including Zhu himself, who died at the age of eighty-three, successfully outliving her father, brother, and nephew."
Old Zhu & Zhu Di & Zhu Gaochi: …(°o°)…
"Long-lived children are not uncommon, but long-lived sons-in-law are rare."
"Being Zhu's subject is not easy, and being Zhu's son-in-law is not easy either. But I have to say, Zhu's princesses got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, which is really too early!"
"For example, Zhu Jingjing, the daughter of Consort Sun whom Emperor Zhu favored, was married to Li Qi, whose father was Li Shanchang, who was known as the 'Ming Dynasty version of Xiao He' at the time."
Xiao He of the Han Dynasty: ……? ????……
"Those who have read this history know that the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty was already on Zhu Yuanzhang's list of targets. Li Qi fared a little better and was exiled to Jiangpu with the princess, not far away."
"As for the others, from Hongwu to Yongle, it was not an ordinary period. There were four major cases and the Jingnan Campaign. Some people died normally, and some did not make the right choices."
"Besides Zhao Hui, the husband of Princess Baoqing, he outlived seven emperors of the Ming Dynasty. He finally died peacefully in the fourteenth year of the Chenghua era at the age of eighty-one."
“Princess Baoqing was born late. Zhu Yuanzhang was already sixty-seven when she was born. Her father passed away a few years later, and her nephew Yunwen succeeded to the throne. In terms of seniority, she was Jianwen’s aunt.”
"But a few years later, her fourth brother came to Nanjing to see how her eldest nephew was being taken care of. After that, Baoqing was raised by Empress Xu. In fact, she was only a few years younger than Zhu Zhanji."
