Chapter 670 King of Han
The live broadcast continues.
"Zhu Di fell ill in Yumuchuan and died at the age of 65. Because the emperor was on a campaign beyond the Great Wall, the eunuch Ma Yun, the Grand Secretary Yang Rong, and others discussed keeping his death a secret and continuing to send him meals. They also came up with a way to make a temporary coffin and cover it with a dragon robe."
First Emperor: Dead memories suddenly attacked me!
General Judy, the Northern Expeditionary General: His subjects still have some affection for him! They didn't give him any salted fish!
"After returning to the capital, the formal funeral process begins. After all that, we actually have to go through it again ten months later."
The fat Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi: "..."
"In mid-August, Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne. In September, Emperor Renzong combined Empress Xu's memorial tablet with Zhu Di's coffin for a sacrificial ceremony. After that, the temple name and posthumous title were determined. That is, Judy's Taizong experience card has taken effect!"
Taoist Priest: Hehehe~
"After Zhu Di's death, Zhu Gaochi, as the new emperor, was primarily concerned about his two younger brothers—the Prince of Han and the Prince of Zhao."
"Compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was energetic and fathered 42 children, Zhu Di had fewer offspring, only nine including those who died young."
Wan Chao's people: (??? д ???)!!! They can really give birth!
"Only three of his sons survived to adulthood: the eldest son Zhu Gaochi, the second son Zhu Gaoxu, and the third son Zhu Gaosui."
"Let's talk about Zhu Gaoxu first. It is said that Judy liked this son very much, but didn't like her eldest son Gaochi very much."
"When they were young, Emperor Zhu would review memorials and distribute them to his grandsons. Zhu Gaochi was steady and responsible, while Zhu Gaoxu was a poor student who played around with the other princes. Emperor Zhu did not like such a mischievous grandson."
"After that, the situation became complicated. Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, and his uncle, Prince Zhou, was arrested within two months. His performance during the Jingnan Rebellion has also been described."
"Then came the new emperor Zhu Di, and the Prince of Han and the Crown Prince fought each other. For example, Qiu Fu was involved in factional strife, and civil officials submitted a memorial to order his whole family to be executed. Judy herself thought it was too cruel."
Other timelines: This is the destructive power of Ming Dynasty civil officials!!!
"Zhu Gaoxu often compared himself to Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. It just so happened that he was ranked second, and his father had just defeated his eldest nephew. He made no attempt to hide his ambition to seize the throne."
"Perhaps there was genuine affection between brothers in the past, but as our father became emperor, even the best relationships changed."
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: Learning everything will only harm you!
The ministers of the Zhenguan era looked at each other in silence for a moment, stealing glances at the emperor, thinking to themselves: Where there's a will, there's a way, but when it comes to seizing the throne, the Prince of Han really doesn't seem like someone who can accomplish anything!
Li Shimin, being secretly glanced at by his ministers: (?_?) Do you really think he can't see me?!
"The power of a father's example is boundless. The King of Han thought he would defeat his nephew. He learned from his father's experience that eight hundred men were still too few, so he secretly manufactured weapons, secretly raised assassins, and prepared to plan a great undertaking."
In another timeline, young Zhu Gaoxu received a beating from his grandfather, father, and mother. He felt terrible that day, as he was being beaten three times over!
Old Zhu: If a son is not taught properly, it is the father's fault. Fourth son, you also deserve a beating!
Judy: This is so ridiculous!
"But Judy found out about this, and his father was definitely furious. He imprisoned him in Xihua Gate and was about to demote him to a commoner. However, because the Crown Prince pleaded for him, he was eventually stripped of his guards and enfeoffed in Le'an Prefecture."
"Years passed, and the Prince of Han waited in his fiefdom. Nothing in the world is difficult if you are willing to give up, but he was determined to go all the way and successfully outlived his father and elder brother."
Wan Chao's people: No?! Is that right?
Zhu Haosheng Sun Zhanji: Here I am!
