Live History Broadcast: Opening Ceremony Spoilers - Our Ancestor Was Enraged

Chapter 651 Fang Xiaoru: The Yangtze River is worth ten thousand!

During the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, in a fit of temper, glared coldly at Zhu Yunwen and said, "You should blame yourself. The family fortune that your father worked hard to build up over a lifetime has been squandered by you in just four years!"

Zhou Wang Zhu Su seized the opportunity to mock: "Yes, nephew, you know how difficult it was for your grandfather and father back then. They didn't know the cost of firewood and rice when they weren't in charge of the household!"

Zhu Di looked pained and said, "Nephew, it's not that your uncle won't give you a chance, it's just that there are too many treacherous officials around you! Don't worry, your fourth uncle will help you get rid of them!"

Before Zhu Yunwen could speak, she sighed again: "If I had known you would disappear, why didn't you stay home and wait for your fourth uncle? How am I supposed to explain this to your father and my elder brother in the future?"

The other princes exclaimed in surprise, shivered at the goosebumps on their arms, and winked at each other, saying, "Fourth Prince, no wonder you like to give your men roles!"

Meanwhile, Zhu Yunwen, the person at the center of the discussion, was both frustrated and speechless. Couldn't his uncles please stop bothering him?

He became emperor just like everyone else, so why is it that he's surrounded by ministers who make such terrible decisions?!

.....

"There's probably no other way, so we're just trying anything. Fang Xiaoru was sent to find Huang Zicheng, but he couldn't find him no matter what."

"So they came up with another plan: first, send an envoy to pretend to seek peace in an attempt to buy time, then recruit people from all over the place, and finally fight to the death."

Upon hearing this, the people of the other dynasties laughed. Who in their right mind would become a lackey of the imperial court? It's obvious that the nephew can't beat the uncle!

"The peace envoy was chosen to be Zhu's niece, Princess Qingcheng. Zhu treated his niece well, so he bestowed the title of princess upon both of them."

"The officials objected according to etiquette and law, but Zhu Yunwen firmly refused. Zhu Yunwen then declared that he would not only agree but also punish his uncle. Oh, so now you know to seek peace talks?! Or did you both know that peace talks were impossible?!"

"So, Princess Qingcheng crossed the river to the Yan camp. Judy cried first and gave a touching speech. Then the princess expressed that she was moved and also cried. In short, she was 'moved'."

"The Prince of Yan then asked the Princes of Zhou and Qi. The princess spoke on behalf of Zhu Yunwen, saying that Jianwen planned to restore the titles of the princes. The Prince of Zhou had just been recalled and had not yet had his title restored."

"Judy is furious! He's playing with my brothers!" The princess continued, "Your nephew wants to follow the example of our predecessors and cede territory to sue for peace. What are you thinking?"

Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: Not a word to it!

"Upon hearing this, Judy started arguing again, 'Even my own father couldn't hold onto the fiefdom he gave me, how can I believe his words?'"

“We’ve made it very clear: we’re here to rid my nephew of the wicked and cleanse the Qing court. Once this is over, all we want is Beiping!”

"After the Prince of Yan put it this way, Princess Qingcheng had nothing to say and could only return, which infuriated those stubborn officials in the Jianwen court!"

Everyone in Wanchao listened. You said your piece, he talked his, it was all the same old thing: Uncle is here to clean house for his nephew!

This Prince of Yan, though ranked fourth, did the work of the sixth! What psychological trauma did Emperor Jianwen suffer from?!

Fang Xiaoru also pinned his hopes on the Yangtze River, saying that the natural barrier of the Yangtze could withstand 100,000 soldiers, and that because of the hot weather, the Yan army would definitely have an outbreak of infectious diseases, and that we would definitely win.

"Because his speech was so ridiculous, all the officials present laughed. No wonder some people called him and the other two 'the three idiots of Jianwen'."

The comments section at this moment:

Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter! Is he including all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Yangtze River? ???

A Han Dynasty official: Is this the level of the civil officials under Emperor Jianwen?

A minor official in the Qin Dynasty: How three people leading one person can turn into a bunch of losers!

Liu Zhuzhu (a user): I'm curious, @Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty, with his grandson about to die and his son about to ascend the throne, what are Zhu Baba's feelings? Are he happy? Are he sad?

Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: Do you think you'd be happy after hearing about the witchcraft calamity and the loss of your wife and son?

Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: ~(TロT)σ Don't you dare leave!
