Chapter 671 Minister: Don't come any closer!
Upon hearing this, Old Zhu immediately pictured Gao Chi's chubby grandson in his mind. He was small now and looked quite cute, but he never imagined that being fat would ruin everything!
"Fourth brother, when you have time, tell Gao Chi to lose some weight and eat less!" Zhu Yuanzhang felt uneasy whenever he thought of the young and deceased Gao Chi and Zhanji.
Zhu Di suddenly felt a headache coming on. He had heard Lin Ke mention that his eldest son had tried to lose weight, but had never succeeded.
If the eldest and second sons could balance things out, at least they could become a nimble fat man!
Judy: My eldest son is chubby, and my second son is a rebellious brat. Being a father is so stressful!
……
"It is quite normal that Zhu Gaoxu was able to outlive the sixty-year-old Judy, because Zhu Di's health was indeed not very good in his later years."
"However, even so, his lifespan still surpasses that of a group of Ming Dynasty emperors, ranking second. As for the first place, it is his energetic father who lived to be seventy-one."
Judy, the Grand General Who Conquers the North: ...
"There were sixteen emperors in the Ming Dynasty, most of whom lived to around forty. But you know what? The Jiajing Emperor, who cultivated immortality and refined elixirs, actually lived to sixty, ranking third."
"However, he didn't consume the elixirs blindly. It's said that he would first bestow them upon important officials, such as Yan Song, and then, after they had consumed them, the officials would have to write reports on their experiences."
"Of course, he wasn't the only one who bestowed elixirs upon his officials. Emperor Yongzheng, who was considered a fellow elixir enthusiast during the Ming and Qing dynasties, also loved to give elixirs to his ministers."
"How could he possibly eat all this good stuff himself? Good fortune should be shared, so some civil and military officials all received a large gift package of elixirs from His Majesty."
A Qing Dynasty official: This pill is wonderfully poisonous!
The people of Wanchao: They are truly blessed to have a boss like this!
Upon hearing Lin Ke's teasing, Kangxi and Zhu Di's faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Not only did they take pills, but they also gave them away. Their descendants had already warned them that these things were poisonous, yet they still ate them!
In other timelines, civil and military officials cried out in alarm, thankfully their emperor didn't have this hobby, otherwise, would you eat it or not?!
This isn't a gift; it's clearly a lunchbox delivery!
"The elixirs might be one factor, but the Zhu family's diet wasn't particularly healthy either; they probably didn't do much exercise to burn calories."
"Because since Emperor Yingzong of Ming, apart from Zhu Houzhao who loved to cause trouble, the rest of them basically never personally led a military campaign."
"If you eat too much meat and fish and have a sweet tooth, you will get sick if you don't control yourself. If you add seafood, it will be even worse."
My absolute favorite is Wanli's stew of fatty chicken, pig's trotters, and seafood!
"Everyone knows that Zhu Gaochi was a fat man, but his son Zhu Zhanji, judging from the portrait, was dark-skinned and fat. This was probably because he suffered from diabetes. There are also records that he drank several dou of water a day, so it was best for him to eat a healthy diet."
The entire Zhu family: …(owo?)！！！
"Ahem, I've digressed. Let's look at the Prince of Han. After learning that his father and brothers had passed away one after another, Zhu Gaochi, who was staying in his fiefdom, was very pleased. This second son of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty was also following the example of Emperor Taizong and causing trouble, such as staging some kind of coup!"
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: ?? ˙o˙?? This is not easy to learn!
"But Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne legitimately, unlike Zhu Yunwen who was out of his mind and immediately beheaded his uncle."
Zhu Yunwen: Thank you, please don't mention me!
"Afterwards, the Prince of Han submitted a memorial outlining four matters for the benefit of the country and the well-being of the people. Zhu Di had done the same thing, teaching his nephew how to be an emperor, but the circumstances were different, and the results were also different."
"Zhu Zhanji always complied with his second uncle's requests, displaying an incompetent persona! Under his indulgence, Zhu Gaoxu became increasingly arrogant."
"He thinks his nephew is a complete weakling, while the advantage lies with me. A rebellion is absolutely possible; he's the Ming Dynasty's 'Grand General of Heavenly Strategy'!!!"
General Judy, the Northern Expeditionary General: …( ?°? ?° ?)…
