Chapter 594 Using the Smashing of a Melon as a Signal
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao finally understood why Huang Zicheng was called a terrible teammate. In his opinion, gaining one person meant losing the whole world!
There are three of those unfilial sons! No wonder the fourth brother beat him up so badly!!
I really don't want to admit that such a not-so-bright child is actually his child. Perhaps, ever since the re-establishment of the fiefdom, this battle was inevitable.
However, the war raged on, affecting countless civilians.
At that moment, Zhu Di, far away in Yongle, sneezed several times, feeling as if someone was cursing him.
I wonder what Father will think after hearing about his ascension to the throne—will he praise him, or...?
"Hey, no, why are you bringing this up about me!"
"You really have to mention it, it's all thanks to Second Brother stealing the horse, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get to Beiping so quickly!"
"Alright, alright, let's be quiet for a while..." Zhu Gaochi winked, not noticing that the old man was unhappy!
Sigh... I wonder what Grandpa Emperor's opinion would be?
……
Meanwhile, in the live stream room.
Lin Ke continued, "Judy's wife was the eldest daughter of Xu Da, a famous general who helped found the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Xu Da's two sons, Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou, were also in the court."
"These two people have different opinions on the arrangements for the three Zhu brothers. To be honest, these people have been arguing and fighting, but they are all relatives."
"However, my eldest nephew, Yunwen, being close to Confucianism, naturally wouldn't do anything to prevent his own son from visiting his seriously ill father."
"So they released Zhu Pangpang and his two brothers. They probably thought, 'Fourth Uncle, I've sent your third son here, so don't be wary of your eldest nephew!'"
Zhu Yunwen: That sounds a bit silly!
"However, none of the three Zhu brothers are easy to deal with. On the way back, that kid Zhu Gaoxu even stole his eldest uncle's BMW. In short, Judy is very happy and has no worries. It's all thanks to my nephew for coming up with such a brilliant idea!"
Xu Huizu: "..."
You, Zhu Gaoxu, are just like your father before!
"So the three Zhu brothers went back, and the good nephew Zhu Yunwen was relieved. He contacted Zhang Bing, Xie Gui, and Zhang Xin, who were monitoring Zhu Di in Beiping, and asked them to surround the Prince of Yan's mansion."
"The first two were indeed Jianwen's men, but Zhang Xin's mother, it's said, saw an imperial aura emanating from the Prince of Yan's residence, so Zhang Xin secretly slipped into the residence to report it."
"He's still sick, brother. Your nephew sent men to launch a sneak attack. During the conversation, Zhu Di's illness was cured, and he bowed down, saying that they were like my family's second parents!"
Zhang Xin, already in Beiping: Almost! My life was over!
Zhu Yuanzhang: Hmph! Should we bestow upon him the title of "Divine Physician of Our Time"?! And "Rebirth Parents"?! He deserves a beating!
"In July of that year, Zhu Di pretended to bind his subordinates and invite Zhang Bing to the Prince of Yan's mansion, but in reality he ambushed eight hundred warriors and quickly captured Jianwen's confidants, thus rapidly taking control of Beiping."
"However, it is said that Zhu Di used smashing a melon as a signal. If this is true, I have only ever heard of smashing a cup as a signal, it is rare to hear of this. I just don't know if the melon was guaranteed to be ripe, hahaha!" (Huangfu Lu, "Jinfeng Jilue")
Zhu Di: ...
"From this point on, the uncle and nephew completely broke off relations; even a rebellion needs a legitimate reason."
"Among them, Yao Guangxiao also played his role as the planner of the Jingnan Campaign, and found a rule in Zhu Yunwen's ancestral precepts for Judy, namely, the Jingnan Campaign. The traitors were Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others who gave him great advice around Zhu Yunwen."
"After taking control of Beiping, Zhu Di quickly attacked surrounding areas such as Juyongguan, Yongping Prefecture, and Huailai. Within just seven months, he had cleared the area around Beiping."
"And the Prince of Yan's military strength has expanded from eight hundred to tens of thousands, which means he has some capital to oppose the court."
