In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, who had high hopes for Zhu Yuanzhang, suddenly passed away.
The news of Zhu Biao's death made Zhu Yuanzhang wish he was dead. In order to nurture Zhu Biao, he had spent a lot of effort and resources on him. He did not expect this result.
However, Zhu Di, the fourth son who never thought of becoming an emperor, saw an opportunity.
When Zhu Biao was still around, Zhu Di was indeed not as good as him. He respected Zhu Biao very much.
But Crown Prince Zhu Biao was dead, and Second and Third were useless.
Among Zhu Yuanzhang's many sons, Zhu Di was now the legitimate leader!!
Zhu Di thought that he should be able to get his father's recognition and become the crown prince.
However, things did not go as he wished. Four months later, Zhu Yuanzhang announced that Zhu Biao's son, Zhu Yunwen, would be the emperor's grandson.
Once this order was issued, all the vassal kings were dumbfounded. Zhu Di found it even more difficult to understand.
Ming World
"What is it? In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Biaoer Guild…"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was instantly stunned and his mind went blank.
It was the 22nd year of Hongwu.
In other words, Ming Crown Prince Zhu Biao only had three years left to live?
In an instant, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He could not move, and his lips trembled.
Zhu Biao was Zhu Yuanzhang's accumulation of more than ten years of hard work. He had long nurtured Zhu Biao as his successor.
He found the best Confucian teacher to tutor him.
The famous Imperial Teacher Song Lian was one of them.
He even meticulously helped Zhu Biaopu to support the Huaixi Group that was beside Zhu Biaopu.
He even delegated some of the management authority to Zhu Quan.
Even though Zhu Quan was only the Crown Prince, he already had the authority and military power of an Emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang wished he could give all the military power to Biao 'er and let him plot his rebellion.
However, he didn't expect that Biao 'er, whom he had been looking forward to, only had three years left to live.。
Three years later. Zhu Yuanzhang was going to die.。
Naturally, he did not doubt the image in the video.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's grief and despair were even worse than his own in the video.。
He felt powerless, as if Zhu Biao had been sentenced to death.
He then thought of what happened next.
If Biao 'er died, would he really choose an imperial grandson?
Zhu Yunwen's personality was indeed very similar to his father Zhu Biao. He was gentle and refined, treated people with courtesy, and read Confucian classics.
Even if Zhu Biao didn't die, Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that Zhu Biao would become the emperor and make Zhu Yunwen the Crown Prince.
If he did not appoint the emperor's grandson and appointed another son instead, it would inevitably cause a struggle between the vassal kings.
Zhu Yuanzhang had more than 20 sons, and more than a dozen of them had been granted the title of vassal king and sent to the border of the empire, holding heavy troops in their hands.
Although the King of Yan was the strongest, it was easy for other vassal kings to be unconvinced, such as Prince Ning and Prince Jin who controlled the three guards of Duoyan.
There weren't so many problems with establishing the emperor's grandson. Even if the vassal kings were not convinced, they would restrain each other.
Coupled with Zhu Yunwen's identity, he would definitely be supported by the officials.
After thinking for a few seconds.
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with his actions in the video.
This was indeed the most stable choice.
However, what he did not expect was that Zhu Di, who had always been willing to defend the empire's borders, would have such ambitions in the future.
He looked at Zhu Di coldly, and there was no extra expression on his face.
Zhu Di was already scared out of his wits.
He wasn't sure if he would rebel in the future.
What he was sure of was that with his father and brother alive, he would never dare to have such thoughts.
Dong!
Zhu Di knelt on the ground.
"Father! That's impossible. There must be something wrong with this video!!”
"Your son will definitely guard Liaodong for Great Ming and settle down in Yan forever.”
"Fourth Bro, you've grown your wings and guts. You even dare to question Immortal Su Chen's prophecy?!”
"The video of the immortal is to make me wary of you. If you don't take the immortal seriously, will you take me seriously?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him. He clenched his fists tightly.
"Father, your son doesn't dare. Your son has never thought of becoming the emperor!! Imperial Father, please understand!"
"I know that you didn't have such thoughts in the past, but when we and Biao are gone, can you guarantee that you won't have such bad thoughts?”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him.
This sentence made Zhu Di's heart tremble.
If he waited for his father and Zhu Biao to die, he would indeed be the leader of the vassal kings. Even if he did not have such ambitions, he would still be suspected by others.
"If Imperial Father doesn't believe me, I'm willing to swear in front of the immortals that I will return to Yan immediately and swear that I will never enter Nanjing!! If you violate it, you will be struck by lightning!!”
"Let's see, you're planning to go back and recruit troops!!”
"Your son wouldn't dare."
"Imperial Father, don't blame Fourth Brother.”
Zhu Biao finally spoke.
The video had shocked Zhu Biao as much as his father.
Zhu Biao had received the guidance of many great teachers and had gathered a large number of loyal officials and generals around him.
He had great revenge and continued to expand Da Ming's great cause.
However, he only had three years left to live?!
He, who had always been calm and peaceful, could no longer hold it in.
However, when a bird is about to die, its cry is sad, and when a man is about to die, his words are kind.
Zhu Biao analyzed what would happen after he died!
