Zhu Di's rebellion was ultimately Zhu Yunwen's fault!
Moreover, based on the Crown Prince's understanding of Zhu Di, although his fourth brother was arrogant and unruly, as long as he was not forced to a certain extent, he would definitely not raise an army to quell the disaster for the sake of the world.
"The Crown Prince is right! From the information of later generations, whether it was official history or unofficial history, the King of Yan respected the Emperor and the Crown Prince very much. Moreover, when he raised an army to pacify the disaster, he did indeed do his best.”
Fang Yunfei also took the initiative to stand up and prove it.
"Oh?"
Hearing Fang Yunfei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed.
Whether it was Zhu Di or Zhu Yunwen, they were both descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang. Emperor Hongwu naturally did not want his descendants to disown their relatives and kill each other.
"When Jianwen first started to cut down the vassals, the King of Yan was very cooperative. Not only did he take the initiative to hand over his military power, but he also sent his three sons to Jinling as hostages.”
"However, Emperor Jianwen has already regarded the King of Yan as a great threat and will only be satisfied after he gets rid of him.”
"Therefore, no matter how much the King of Yan showed weakness and admitted defeat, Emperor Jianwen would not let him go.”
"In addition, Emperor Jianwen's behavior towards his other uncles finally forced the King of Yan to launch the Battle of Jingnan.”
"From a certain perspective, the King of Yan was also forced to rebel by Jianwen.”
Fang Yunfei said honestly.
When Jianwen had just ascended the throne, Zhu Di had indeed tolerated his nephew, the emperor, to the extent of compromising.
After all, the title of prince was a golden rice bowl that could not be inherited.
Even if he didn't have any power in his hands, it was not a problem for him to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth.
However, if the rebellion failed, not only would they lose their golden rice bowl, but their entire family might also be dragged out and killed.
The opportunity cost was extremely high, and it was not worth it.
Therefore, if Emperor Jianwen could be like his fourth uncle, only reducing the power of the vassal king, but ensuring the glory and wealth of the vassal king's family, Zhu Di would definitely not rebel.
The bad thing was that Zhu Yunwen was too heartless and too ruthless!
He didn't leave any way out for his uncles.
His brothers were already like that, how could Zhu Di, who was a thorn in Jianwen's side, be fine?
In any case, if he extended his head, he would still be stabbed.
It would be better to rebel. Perhaps they could fight for a chance of survival.
"In that case, Fourth Brother has indeed done his best.”
Hearing Fang Yunfei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Killing people is just a nod of the head.
Not only had his fourth brother given up his military authority, but he had also sent his three sons to the capital as hostages.
What else do you want him to do?
If a vassal king did this, any emperor would know that it was time to stop.
Who knew that Yun Wen was so brainless!
Your fourth uncle is already in this state, and you're still forcing him?
The key is that you forced your fourth uncle to turn the tables, but you still can't beat him. Aren't you a pure retard?
"Father, do you mean to let bygones be bygones?”
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression ease up, Zhu Di asked tentatively.
"Humph! If you do anything bad in the future, especially if you ask around and ask about how you look like as an emperor. You don't even need your big brother. I'll skin you alive first!”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang spoke fiercely, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
The palm and the back of his hand were all flesh!
As a father and grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to see his descendants kill each other.
The reason why he took the initiative to provoke this matter was to make things clear so that the Crown Prince and the King of Yan would not have any grudges.
Now, it seemed that the effect was very good.
"That definitely won't happen! Your son will never have any ill intentions!”
Zhu Di said.
To be honest, he still wanted to know what he would look like after he took over Great Ming.
It was not that Zhu Di still wanted to rebel, but he was very curious about how awesome he was as an emperor to obtain the posthumous title of "Wen".
"Reporting to Imperial Father, as the saying goes, if there is something, change it. Actually, your son also wants to know what Fourth Brother has done after he ascended the throne.”
Fortunately, Zhu Di was not the only one who was curious. Crown Prince Zhu Biao was also very curious about what his fourth brother had done after he became the emperor to gain the high recognition of future generations.
"In that case…"
"Kid Fang, tell us how Fourth Brother is doing as an emperor.”
In fact, not only Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang was also curious!
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of Zhu Di, if this kid's posthumous title was " Wu " or " Yong ", which emphasized military merit, he would not have any doubts.
However, Fourth Brother's posthumous title was the extremely awesome "Wen"!
This made Zhu Yuanzhang, his father, doubt his life.
This son of his who only knew how to manage the army but not the people…
Was he really that awesome?
