Chapter 592 White Hat Plus King
In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yunwen felt that this sentence was not a good thing. And that's right, since his fourth uncle had already ascended the throne, how could he let him go!
Those who rebelled with him, without a good reason, how could they stand firm and become heroes of the Jingnan Campaign!
It's a pity, Fourth Uncle. The four years you tried so hard to erase are still known to everyone. Your obedient descendants still gave you the temple name of Emperor Chengzu!
The thought that his fourth uncle had worked diligently his whole life, only to end up with such a title, probably made him furious. This image, however, eased his melancholy mood.
But will he really be stupid in the future?
.......
Back to the live broadcast room.
"After talking for so long, it's time to get to the key point of the Jingnan Campaign. Our protagonist, Zhu Di, was able to succeed thanks to a man behind him—the monk Daoyan Yao Guangxiao."
Judy, the General Who Conquers the North: Our strategist!
"To give you a brief introduction, this master is a monk, but he studied under a Taoist priest and learned the arts of Yin and Yang and numerology. He is also proficient in the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "A monk, learning so many different things, crooked and evil ways!"
"Some call him the Black-Robed Prime Minister, while others call him a wicked monk. This stark difference in opinion is inseparable from the fact that he was the mastermind behind the Jingnan Campaign."
Li Shimin sighed, wondering who was better, him or Li Chunfeng?
Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao in black: ?!
"Of course, Zhu Di was able to have such a talented person because Old Zhu sent him. By the way, Zhu Di's Fengtian Jingnan Campaign was also largely thanks to one of Old Zhu's ancestral precepts."
"If there are treacherous officials causing trouble in the court, the princes can send a letter to the central government to arrest the treacherous officials. If they receive a secret edict from the emperor, the princes can lead troops to 'pacify the trouble' and restore order."
"In this light, Old Zhu could actually be considered to have added fuel to the fire for Judy's rebellion!"
Zhu Yuanzhang: “…”
Meanwhile, in the thirteenth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di's eyes lit up upon hearing this—his father loved him! Suddenly, he felt that the beatings he had received because of Yongle didn't hurt anymore!
He will also record this in the history books!
The other princes were furious. How dare they laugh? What a load of crap! They had a legitimate reason to retaliate against them for altering history (smearing their own brothers)!
Zhu Di: (????) Hit people, but not in the face!
……
"However, their meeting can be traced back to the funeral of Empress Ma in the fifteenth year of the Hongwu reign."
Empress Ma, who is still alive: "..."
"When Empress Ma passed away, Emperor Zhu was very sad. He ordered all the princes to return from their fiefdoms and to select a high-ranking monk before leaving. Thus, the gears of fate began to turn."
"As luck would have it, Zhu Di's choice of a high-ranking monk to accompany him was none other than the future Black-Robed Prime Minister—Yao Guangxiao."
At that time, Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, how about I give you a white hat to wear?"
"Zhu Di was the Prince of Yan. Adding 'white' to 'Prince' makes 'Emperor.' However, this matter is most likely false. Not to mention that the Crown Prince was still alive, this record first came from Zhu Dangmian's 'Record of Meritorious Officials in the Pacification of the Rebellion,' which circulated in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty."
"This book is quite old, dating back to the Yongle era. How could such private and daring words have been known to others? At most, it's just a folk tale or unofficial history!"
Judy, the Grand General Who Conquered the North: Future generations, be careful with your words when you talk about your ancestors! What does "private yet bold" mean?
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: This monk is awesome! No wonder he's called the Demon Monk!!
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: Your mother just passed away, and you're already talking about this @General Judy of the Northern Expedition! Your older brother is still alive!
Judy, the Grand General Who Conquers the North: Slander! Utter slander!!
Liu Zhuzhu of the Great Han Dynasty: I understand! Whether the unofficial history is true or not is another matter, but it's wild enough!
