Chapter 675 Di Xu CP
"As a prince and grandson of the emperor, Zhu Gaochi was trained in both literature and martial arts from a young age. The History of Ming states... as he grew older, he practiced archery, and his shots never missed..."
"Perhaps due to his foot ailment, Zhu Gaochi preferred stillness to movement. However, he was able to withstand Li Jinglong's army and defend Beiping, which shows that Zhu Gaochi himself was not bad."
"Moreover, Zhu Di's major projects during his reign were extremely expensive. When he went on expeditions, the crown prince would oversee the country. No other crown prince in history was like him."
The other princes: It must be tough having a father who spends money like water and loves war!
"However, I heard that Zhu Di did not like his eldest son very much, but preferred his second son Gao Xu. He did not establish a crown prince until the second year of Yongle. After that, there was a struggle between the crown prince's party and the Han Prince and Zhao Prince's party."
"Zhu Gaochi used to be the regent. After Judy passed away, he took over and continued to do the job. However, no one expected that his reign would be so short. He was the second most senior official in the Zhu family."
During the Hongwu era, Prince Zhu Gang of Jin stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in surprise, "No way, no way, there can't be an emperor whose lifespan is shorter than Gao Chi's!"
King Zhu Shuang of Qin scoffed, "What, do you think there's a Son of Heaven who only lasts a month?"
Prince Yan, Zhu Di: "..."
Everyone present smiled, and no one took the King of Qin's words to heart.
Prince Zhu Su of Zhou suddenly realized: "My fourth brother died at the age of sixty-five, so Gao Chi must be over forty, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of his son who had passed away before him and was also around the same age. It seemed he would have to have the imperial physician examine him carefully. He didn't have high expectations; he just hoped his son would live to sixty, which was a little less than his own life!
Ming Dynasty Imperial Physician: (?_?|||) Suddenly I feel so miserable!
……
"The person who ranked first only lasted for twenty-nine days. His life was both tragic and exciting. This matter is rather complicated, and I will talk about it later."
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: Don't keep us in suspense like this!!!
Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty: Good heavens, the Ming Dynasty is ranked last, comparable to the Marquis of Haihun of the Western Han Dynasty!
Liu He of the Western Han Dynasty: Are you being polite?!
General Judy, the Great General Who Conquered the North: ?_? ...Tell me more!
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were indeed full of oddities, including one who became emperor in a month.
All the emperors of the Ming Dynasty: "..."
"On the other hand, during the reign of Emperor Renzong, the country was able to recuperate and develop, and he was enlightened in his governance, abolishing harsh policies and so on, which laid the foundation for the reign of Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong. Although his reign was short, he was well regarded."
The portly Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi: Alright, we can move on to the next one!!!
"In the last part, let's take a look at Judy's love life!"
Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: Don't talk nonsense, my dad has a much richer life than me!
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: …←_←…
"Speaking of which, the Zhu family had a very rich love life, including Zhu and Empress Ma, Judy and Empress Xu, Zhu Jianshen and Consort Wan, Zhu Youcheng and Empress Zhang, and so on."
"Compared to Zhu Yuanzhang's numerous offspring, Judy's can be counted on two hands. She has a total of nine children, seven of whom were born to Empress Xu, basically one per year."
"Empress Xu, who was favored by Zhu Di, has been introduced to some extent before. She was the eldest daughter of Xu Da. She was intelligent and quick-witted from a young age, and was well-versed in all kinds of books. She was known as a female scholar. In the ninth year of Hongwu, she was conferred the title of Princess of Yan."
"But this young couple didn't follow the script of marriage first and love later. They had known each other long before they got married. Empress Xu was selected to enter the palace at a very early age and served Empress Ma."
"They met when they were teenagers and stayed together for more than 30 years until their separation by death. They were a young couple with a deep and loving relationship."
