Chapter 674 King Zhao
During the Hongwu era, Zhu Di looked at him with disdain. "A thirty-year-old boy, still in the prime of his youth!"
Gao Chi is kind and magnanimous, while Gao Xu and Gao Sui are full of bad intentions. As the fourth son's father, he should be able to understand how difficult it was for his father back then!
"Oh, fourth brother, I didn't realize you were such a loving father!" King Zhu Shuang of Qin slowly took a sip of tea.
Zhu Di: "My youngest son, what's wrong with feeling a little pain?!"
He refused to believe that in Dad's heart, those of them who were already in their twenties or thirties weren't his children!
……
Lin Ke suddenly realized something and sighed softly: The struggle for the crown prince position has always been like this.
"Zhu Gaosui's men were even bolder than the Prince of Han. In the last two or three years of Zhu Di's reign, his health was not very good, and he even suffered a serious illness once."
"When the emperor fell seriously ill, some people started to cause trouble. For example, Meng Xian, the commander of the guards of Prince Zhao, secretly conspired with the eunuch Yang Qing and several others to poison Judy, then forge an imperial edict to depose Zhu Pangpang, skip over Jin Douzi, and directly establish him as emperor."
Zhu Gaochi & Zhu Gaoxu: It would be strange if things didn't go smoothly!
"But, treason is a serious matter. If done well, it can lead to promotion and titles; if done poorly, it can result in the extermination of your entire clan. The Crown Prince is benevolent. What reason do you have to support your decision to carry out this plan?"
"So, the matter was reported, and most of the people involved were punished."
"Like his uncle Zhu Biao, when Zhu Gaochi made a mistake, his elder brother pleaded for him. Although this younger brother had tried to harm him several times, he persuaded his father not to be punished by saying that it was done by his subordinates and that the Prince of Zhao was unaware of it."
"However, since Zhao Wang was not stripped of his guards like his brother, it is highly likely that Zhu Gaosui was unaware of this matter. With Judy's death, Zhao Wang's ambition to seize the throne has never been revealed. In terms of ambition, he may not be as ambitious as his second brother."
"But in terms of judging the situation, the third son was better than the second son. When Zhu Di died, the third son immediately advised the crown prince to be made crown prince, and then he submitted a memorial to establish a crown prince as soon as possible."
"The throne has been decided, and the Prince of Zhao has no intention of seizing the throne. He handed over the two guards and quickly went to his fiefdom, even though his elder brother only stayed for ten months."
The chubby Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi: Actually, there's no need to keep bringing up those ten months!!!
"Because of the Prince of Han's rebellion, many officials in the Xuande era submitted memorials to the emperor, suggesting that the Prince of Zhao be dealt with at the same time as the Prince of Han. However, the emperor did not agree, since his father only had this younger brother left."
Zhu Gaosui, Prince Zhao of the Ming Dynasty: ?? ?…
Finally, in the sixth year of the Xuande reign, Zhu Gaosui passed away, and was given the posthumous title of Jian. He lived to the age of fifty.
During the Yongle era, Zhu Gaosui looked at his second brother, then at his eldest brother, and thought to himself, "Is this how my life ends?"
I'm not even thirty yet, and I already know the future is anything but good!
"Brother, why didn't you live a few more years?" Zhu Gaosui said in a muffled voice. He felt that his nephew had learned the essence of his father, but his elder brother was better!
Zhu Gaochi: ? ? ?
The way he says that makes it sound like he can control it!
Who wants to die if they can live longer?
"Let's look at Emperor Renzong of Ming, Zhu Gaochi. He has always been highly regarded. Although his reign was short, he implemented benevolent policies, pardoned former officials of Emperor Jianwen, and redressed wrongful convictions, etc."
"When you mention him, you think of Zhu Biao. Both were fathers, but compared to Zhu Biao, who was a workaholic and did everything himself, Judy was either on the Northern Expedition or on his way to the Northern Expedition. He was often away from home, traveling between Beijing and Nanjing."
"At this time, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi played his role—overseeing the country and handling government affairs. Of course, he probably didn't expect that Sun Zibaozong was also a fellow who loved to go out!"
Wan Chao's crowd: Hahaha, he went to study abroad! And he's been gone for a year!!
