Zhu Yuanzhang watched as Zhu Xu entered the capital.
He watched Zhu Xu kill Zhu Gaoxu's entire family and drag Zhu Di to the ancestral hall.
He had mixed feelings.
He felt that Zhu Xu was not giving face to Zhu Di, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but he was glad that Zhu Xu did not go overboard.
As long as Zhu Di was not dead, the world would not be in chaos.
At the same time, he keenly realized that Zhu Xu did not kill people casually.
When the imperial guards wanted to kill Zhu Xu, Zhu Xu would kill them. The magistrate of Qiongzhou only wanted to capture Zhu Xu, so Zhu Xu only used some means to trap him.
What made Zhu Yuanzhang helpless was that…
Whether Zhu Xu killed or trapped people, he did it according to his heart. At most, he cared about his brotherhood. In fact, he was not bound by any restrictions. Moreover, he had some double standards.
When Zhu Biao was poisoned to death, Zhu Xu didn't stop him out of brotherhood!
Zhu Xu was going to do it himself. He was concerned about their brotherhood.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but wonder if this concern was related to the karma that Zhu Xu often mentioned.
Then, he felt a little depressed.
He had already made Zhu Xu the Commander of the Brocade Guard, so why was Zhu Xu still unwilling to contribute to Da Ming?
If Zhu Xu had shown a little bit of strength after Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zhu Di would definitely have been afraid and restrained.
The tragedy of massacring the Forbidden City would not have happened!
After Zhu Di came out of the ancestral hall, he was terrified and aggrieved. He was also extremely sad because his second son's family was killed. He locked himself in Yangxin Palace Hall for three days. Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and Empress Xu Miaoyun persuaded him day and night. Zhu Di finally thought it through. After he recovered from his injuries, he handed over the state affairs to Zhu Gaochi and gathered his troops to start the second northern expedition. He wanted to vent his grievances and anger on the barbarians on the grassland!]
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Di put on his armor and went back to battle. He nodded his head in approval.
Zhu Di's mentality was still very strong to be able to endure such a huge setback.
How tough!
As expected of Zhu Yuanzhang's child!
[Zhu Di stayed on the grassland for three years. He defeated the Tartars, Wala, and Wuliangha, expanding his territory in the White Mountains and Black Waters before returning!]
[After Zhu Di returned to Shuntian Prefecture, the court was once again filled with Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi's people. However, this time, Zhu Di gave Zhu Gaochi enough trust, and war reports came from the south. There was a coup in Jiaozhi in the south. The rebel army killed the monarch who respected the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain country. Before the monarch died, he sent a letter to the Ming Dynasty asking for help.]
[Zhu Di then led a million troops to the south. In a year, he pacified Jiaozhi and conquered several countries in South Asia. He set up several guard stations and trained the Ming army to fight against the local Tusi barbarians. However, the miasma in the south was so heavy that it affected the sword wounds Zhu Di received in his battle with Zhu Xu. After he returned to Shuntian and recuperated for half a year, he heard that the Wala in the north had risen again. He dragged his sick body to the north again. Not only did he defeat the Wala, but he also went deep into the grasslands and defeated the allied forces of the grasslands. In the end, he was sealed as Wolf Juxu!]
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately excited.
The wolf lives in Xu.
Since ancient times, only a few people had done it.
However, Zhu Di was definitely the only one who had achieved such great feats as an emperor!
Zhu Di could actually do this.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt very gratified.
[After sealing Wolf Juxu, Zhu Di's health deteriorated and he eventually died on the way back.]
[Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne and changed the year title to Hongxi!]
[Zhu Gaochi was a kind and generous person, and had a long experience in governing the country. However, he felt that it was too costly to maintain the territory in the south where there were many chieftains and barbarians. Zhu Di's expedition to the south and the northern expedition had also exhausted the national strength. The people needed to rest and recuperate, and it was not suitable to continue fighting. Therefore, he adopted a shrinking strategy, abandoned the many guards that Zhu Di had set up in the south, and stopped the northern expedition.]
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but frown.
After Zhu Gaochi gave up on the many guard stations in the south, it was equivalent to giving up a large piece of land that Zhu Di had conquered in the south.
This was really suspicious of squandering.
Moreover, if they stopped the northern expedition, wouldn't they be allowing the barbarians in the north to expand?
Just because it consumed too much money?
However, had Zhu Gaochi ever thought about the miserable state of the people at the border when they were poisoned by the barbarians?
Was Zhu Di really just going all out to conquer these places?!
If you lack money, why did you follow your father and send Zheng He to the West?!
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but sigh.
Zhu Gaochi was still much weaker than Zhu Di.
[After Zhu Gaochi completed the shrinking strategy, the national treasury gradually had a surplus, so Zhu Gaochi planned to move the capital.]
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
Going to the West could earn money. As the Crown Prince, Zhu Gaochi had no reason not to know!
If he didn't go to the West, could it be that he wanted to go to Xi'an after moving the capital?
Did he realize that there was something wrong with going to the West without moving the capital?!
[I heard that Zhu Gaochi planned to move the capital and was opposed by the ministers. However, Zhu Gaochi changed his usual kindness and scolded the ministers. He insisted on moving the capital but suddenly fell ill!]
" Huh?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang instantly realized that something was wrong.
In the scene he saw, Zhu Gaochi was still in high spirits when he woke up in the morning, but he was bedridden at night.
It was very likely that someone had poisoned him!!
Who did it?
Who had the guts to do that?
Who had such ability?
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze turned sharp.
Poisoning the Emperor of Ming!
He was definitely a traitor!
He must be killed!
[Zhu Gaochi realized that he was about to die, but his son Zhu Zhanji was only six years old at this time. It was difficult for him to take on a big responsibility, and he was more likely to be killed by others. So he drafted ten edicts and sent them to Qiongzhou. He only begged the King of Hainan to protect Zhu Zhanji and entrust him with the country.]
[After the messenger read out the imperial edict outside the gates of Prince Hai Nan's mansion, he knelt down and refused to get up!]
That night, a purple token flew out of King Hai Nan's Mansion and traveled thousands of miles a day straight into Shuntian Prefecture!]
Then, a voice resounded throughout the entire capital. Gao Chi, you and this king studied together in the main hall, and there is a friendship between us. Let your son accept this token. On account of this friendship, this king can protect him until he is twenty years old!]
Zhu Gaochi immediately gathered his last bit of strength and knelt on the bed to kowtow to the south. That night, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanji, who was holding the purple token, and breathed his last breath with relief.]
[All the targets of deduction have died!]
[Deduction completed!]
The scene froze at the moment Zhu Gaochi closed his eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that he almost danced.
Little Fifteen finally made his move.
This kid was not completely heartless!
