Xiang King Zhu Bai, Zhu Yuanzhang's twelfth son.
He was fond of learning by nature. When his other brothers needed Zhu Yuanzhang to invite famous scholars to teach them, they would be taught by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Bai himself often read until midnight.
Moreover, his martial strength was not low.
Zhu Yuanzhang also often sent Zhu Bo to various places to fight.
However, what Zhu Yuanzhang liked most about Zhu Bai was his filial piety.
This kind of filial piety was different from other brothers.
Not only did he remember it, but he really put it in his heart.
One had to know that when Zhu Yuanzhang enfeoffed the vassals, they were not enfeoffed one by one.
When Zhu Yuanzhang's sons were crowned kings, Zhu Yuanzhang had already established the Ming Dynasty.
Most of his sons were born and raised before he became emperor.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang made all his sons kings and sent them to various fiefs.
For example, the King of Qin, the King of Jin, the King of Yan, and the King of Zhou.
As for Zhu Bai, who was the twelfth, he was conferred the title of Xiang King by him.
He was granted the title of King of Jingzhou.
It could also be considered a rich place.
Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang had conferred the titles of kings to all of his sons.
In a good mood, he took out the jade pendants that he had prepared earlier and put them on the belts of his sons one by one.
The vassal kings naturally did not mention gratitude.
After putting it on.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"
"Come, turn around and let us have a good look at your heroic bearing.”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see you easily after I leave.”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the vassal kings all agreed.
Then, he turned around.
But among this group of people, only Zhu Bai did not turn around.
Instead, he turned the belt with the jade pendant hanging on it to his front.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.
"Why did my son turn the belt around instead of turning it around?”
Zhu Bai bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said,
"You can't betray your father."
As soon as he said this, the whole hall was shocked.
Everyone looked at this Xiang King Zhu Bai with astonishment.
This included Zhu Bai's brothers and the officials in the court.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
Then he was overjoyed and pointed at Zhu Bai,
"My son is indeed promising."
The rest of the people also congratulated Zhu Yuanzhang.
It turned out that Zhu Bai's words contained two layers of meaning.
The first was that as a son, one could not turn his back to his father.
This is not the so-called filial son, but the way of unfilial.
The second was that as a subject, one could not go against the will of their father.
This is not what loyal officials say, but the way of disloyalty.
This kind of disloyal and unfilial thing, Zhu Bai would not do it.
That was why Zhu Yuanzhang was so surprised.
That was why Zhu Bai's brothers and ministers were so astonished.
The past was still vivid in his mind, but the scene in front of him made Zhu Yuanzhang want to cut Zhu Yunwen into a thousand pieces.
Because at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang saw his son Zhu Bai sitting at the table and said with a sorrowful expression,
"As the son of Taizu."
"Father has passed away, so I can't visit him.”
"I can't attend the funeral either."
"What's the fun in living in this world?”
"Today, I still have to be humiliated by these servants. Isn't that a disgrace to my status?”
"I have also humiliated Imperial Father."
"How can I live like this?”
It turned out that after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Bai had written to the court that he wanted to return to the capital to attend Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral.
This request was rejected by Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen didn't even have time to guard against these uncles.
How could he give them the chance to return to the capital?
Moreover, it was this Xiang King Zhu Bai who had a great reputation in the court.
After receiving the reply, Prince Xiang's mood was very low. He was depressed all day.
At the same time, Zhu Yunwen was worried that her brave and resourceful uncle would rebel.
After a secret discussion with his trusted ministers.
Send troops to hide their weapons in carts filled with wood and disguise them as caravans.
After arriving at the Jing state without anyone noticing, they surrounded Zhu Bai's mansion unexpectedly.
And Zhu Bai, who had learned of this news, raised his head and let out a long sigh as he said these words.
When the concubines at the side heard Zhu Bai's words, they said to Zhu Bai with trepidation,
"Wangye, what should we do now?”
Zhu Bai sighed again and said,
"As a person with the bloodline of the ancestor, even if I die, I'm definitely not someone these people can humiliate.”
After he finished speaking, Zhu Bai suddenly stood up and angrily threw the wine cup in his hand onto the ground.
He said to his wives and concubines,
"I will go to the underworld to find my father and accuse Zhu Yunwen of her crimes.”
"You can't be humiliated. Follow me!”
Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the side and heard Zhu Bai's words. His heart felt like it was being stabbed.
His son was actually forced to do such an extreme thing.
And this person who forced Zhu Bai to do such an extreme thing was not anyone else.
It was his grandson, the current emperor Zhu Yunwen.
After saying these words, Zhu Bai walked out of the door.
He ordered his subordinates to close the door and take out the fire that he had prepared earlier.
He placed them at the entrance of the hall and ordered people to light them up.
And Zhu Bai himself ordered people to bring his mount over.
Then, under the service of the guards, he put on his armor neatly.
He mounted his horse.
He stroked his white horse.
Zhu Bai's eyes became determined.
Then, he kicked the horse's belly lightly and walked out of the Xiang King's residence.
When they arrived at the entrance, they saw a group of people surrounding the Xiang Prince's residence.
These people obviously had not reacted yet.
He looked at Zhu Bai, who was dressed in military attire and riding a white horse.
Zhu Bai also took advantage of the fact that they had yet to react.
The strong bow in his hand shot three arrows.
It hit the tassel of the leader.
This person was so shocked that he retreated repeatedly.
After doing all this, Zhu Bai put away his bow and said,
"All of you are the sons of my Zhu family.”
"I don't want to make things difficult for you."
"But you actually dared to offend the Tian family. These three arrows are my lesson to you.”
"Go back and tell Zhu Yunwen that kid.”
"I would rather die than be humiliated by him.”
"I will go underground to find Imperial Father to complain about my grievances.”
"After a hundred years, let's see how Zhu Yunwen will face Father.”
After saying that, he did not even look at these people's expressions.
He turned his horse around and returned to the Xiang King Residence.
The Ming soldiers who had come to capture Zhu Bai looked at each other.
After Zhu Bai returned to the Xiang King Manor.
The guards behind him slowly closed the door.
The Ming army, who could not understand Zhu Bai's intentions, did not dare to act rashly.
Zhu Bai, who had returned to his residence, looked at the palace that had already been set on fire.
There were also screams coming from the hall.
A trace of sadness appeared on his face.
Then, it turned into determination.
"Giddyup!"
Zhu Bai used the strong bow in his hand to whip the horse's buttocks.
Feeling the pain, the mount suddenly charged forward.
He rushed towards the burning palace.
Even at the entrance of the hall, he still had no intention of stopping.
He was still whipping the horse's buttocks as he charged into the fire.
The guards behind him seemed to have already known what his highness was going to do.
He also did not have the slightest intention of stopping.
He followed his lord into the burning palace.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
To be able to follow the Xiang King was the blessing of his life.
At this moment, the leader of the Ming army outside the hall looked at the black smoke coming out of the residence.
He cursed in his heart and immediately ordered all the soldiers to rush into the Xiang King Manor.
His Majesty's order was to capture the Xiang King and escort him and his family into the capital.
It was not for him to force the Xiang King Zhu Bai to death.
He couldn't bear this responsibility.
After the soldiers heard the leader's order, they quickly went to look for something that could break through the door.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing at the side, had already turned around.
He already understood what his son wanted to do.
He quickly ran in front of Zhu Bai.
He shouted loudly,"
"My son, don't!"
