"Your Majesty, you have wronged the Crown Prince."
"In the end, the one who inherited the throne was the line of the King of Yan. It was also his descendants who lost the Ming Dynasty.”
"These messy things have nothing to do with the Crown Prince. Why did you beat him up?”
"If you want to beat him up, you should also beat up the King of Yan!”
Fang Yunfei sincerely helped the Crown Prince out of the predicament.
However, as soon as he said this, the entire place immediately fell silent.
It was as if everyone's acupuncture points had been hit, and they were frozen in the moment Fang Yunfei opened his mouth.
"You…You…"
"Fourth Bro, what are the 20 words we gave you?”
After a long while, Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Di in a hoarse voice.
"Gao, Zhan, Qi, Jian, You, Hou, Zai, Yi, Yi, Yi…"
Zhu Di said after thinking for a while.
However, the more he spoke, the lower his voice became. When he said the word "Yi", he went silent.
"What's wrong? Have you forgotten?"
"Let our Old Zhu tell you!"
"It's the 20 words 'Gao Zhan Qi Jian You', Hou Zai Yi Chang You',' Ci He Yi Bo Zhong','Jian Jing Di Xianyou'!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice grew louder and louder until it was like thunder, resounding through the clouds.
Everyone was enlightened!
No wonder the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beiping instead of Xi'an and Kaifeng, which Emperor Hongwu favored. It turned out that the line of King Yan inherited the Ming Dynasty.
It made sense!
But why did the King of Yan's line inherit the throne?
Did Fourth Brother or Fourth Prince cause trouble for Eldest Brother or Crown Prince?
In an instant, historical allusions such as the incident at the Black Tortoise Sect, the candlelight axe shadow, calling a deer a horse, and Yang Guang seizing the Eastern Palace flooded into people's minds.
The way people looked at Zhu Di changed!
"Slander! Father slandered me!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Di was so anxious that he even spoke in a Siamese accent.
Since ancient times, plotting to usurp the throne had been a heinous crime!
Even if he was the Great Ming Prince or the fourth brother of the Crown Prince, he did not dare to get involved in this kind of power usurpation.
"Since ancient times, there has been an order of seniority! This Great Ming Dynasty is Big Brother's. Who in the world didn't know?”
"Moreover, I'm ranked fourth. There's still Second Brother and Third Brother ahead of me.”
"Even if my brother dies, it won't be my turn to inherit the throne!”
Seeing his father's unfriendly gaze, Zhu Di hurriedly defended himself.
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a trace of doubt.
Since ancient times, there were only a few situations where younger brothers succeeded to the throne.
The first was that the emperor had passed away without a son, so he had to let the emperor's brother succeed the throne.
However, Biao Er already had three children, Xiong Ying, Yun Wen and Yun Xi, and he would have more in the future.
Even if he died one day, it was impossible for him to pass it on to Fourth Brother and the others.
Secondly, all of the Emperor's descendants had died young, and the court had no choice but to allow the collateral vassal kings to enter the capital to inherit the throne.
However, just like Fourth Brother said, not to mention that Biao 'er's descendants would spread their branches and leaves, there were still Second Brother and Third Brother before him!
It was not his turn!
It couldn't be that all the descendants of the first, second, and third lineages had died, right?
Wasn't this nonsense?
The third possibility, which Zhu Yuanzhang was most unwilling to mention, was that Zhu Di, like Hu Hai, Yang Guang, Li Shimin, and Zhao Guangyi, used conspiracies or bloody means to obtain the throne when the Ming Dynasty was newly established and the inheritance was not perfect.
However, the Crown Prince's position had already been decided, and all the officials and members of the Imperial Clan were convinced.
He had also sent these adult princes away to the vassal states early on to prevent them from having unrealistic ideas after staying in the capital for a long time.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be!
Moreover, he had watched Fourth Brother grow up. Other than his mischievous personality, he was still very respectful to his elder brother.
How could there be a plot to usurp the throne?
"Kid Fang, what's going on?”
"How did Fourth Brother ascend to the throne?”
"Don't exaggerate or hide anything. Just say what you have to say!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said word by word.
"Of course we're going to rebel!" Don't tell me you're still counting on others to abdicate?"
"Rebellion? Kid, tell me in detail."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically.
Zhu Di's heart was in his throat!
"In 1370 AD, the King of Yan, Zhu Di, led his army to revolt in Peiping under the name of 'clearing the emperor's side and the disaster of the Jingguo'. He was known as the' Northern Army'!”
"Four years later, the Northern Army conquered Jinling. The whereabouts of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty were unknown. The other places heard the news and surrendered.”
"History calls it the Battle of Jingnan!"
"After the King of Yan ascended the throne, he slaughtered all the civil and military officials loyal to the court. The descendants of the Crown Prince were also closely monitored.”
"The Great Ming Dynasty has now passed into the line of the King of Yan, and the history of China has turned a new page.”
After telling these historical facts, Fang Yunfei said sincerely,"Since ancient times, there has never been a commoner emperor who started from scratch, but His Majesty did it.”
"Since ancient times, there has never been a vassal king who successfully rebelled, but the King of Yan did it too!”
"His Majesty and the King of Yan have continuously rewritten history and filled in the gaps in the records. They are really two heroes in one family.”
Hearing Fang Yunfei praise him for creating history, Zhu Di almost cried!
Please don't say anymore!
If I continue, I will be beaten to death by my father!
As expected, after hearing Fang Yunfei's description, Emperor Hongwu flew into a rage. He kicked Zhu Di down and gave him a beating!
"Good job, Fourth Brother! Why can't I tell that you're a heartless thing?”
"Our Old Zhu asked you to lead one hundred thousand soldiers to protect the capital and the Central Plains!”
"You motherf * cker actually used it to rebel against your big brother?”
"Let's see if I won't beat you to death today, you bastard!”
Emperor Hongwu was born a farmer. Other than the Huaiyou villagers, the people he trusted the most were his own clansmen!
Zhu Yuanzhang trusted his sons even more!
It was because of this that Emperor Hongwu fully delegated his power and appointed Zhu Di and the others to guard a region outside the Great Wall!
Not only could each prince command tens of thousands of soldiers; He could even replace the heavens to patrol and monitor the place!
Among them, King Zhu Di of Yan was the most powerful among the nine kings because he was good at fighting. He commanded 100,000 troops.
He didn't expect that he trusted Fourth Brother so much, but he actually turned around and rebelled against Boss?
How could this be?
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he attacked.
Fang Yunfei and the others could hear the sound of fists hitting flesh!
"Father! Stop fighting!"
"I really don't have the intention to rebel against you!”
Zhu Di was beaten up by his father and could not help but beg for mercy!
"Bullshit! Among you brothers, you are the one who can cause the most trouble! Every time you get into a fight, it's your big brother who pleads for you!”
"It's just that I never expected that your big brother would treat you so well. You actually want to usurp his position?”
"Our Old Zhu is blind! Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your big brother!”
Emperor Hong Wu had seen Fang Yunfei transmigrate with his own eyes, so he naturally trusted his words more.
In addition, Fang Yunfei had said several things before and after, so Zhu Yuanzhang naturally believed him.
Now that he saw that Zhu Di not only did not admit his mistake, but even dared to quibble, Emperor Hong Wu was instantly furious.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor on horseback.
Although he was already over fifty years old, he was still very powerful.
In his anger, he punched Zhu Di until he screamed.
Although the surrounding people wanted to dissuade him, Emperor Hongwu was in a rage and this matter had too many implications!
Therefore, no one dared to come over to persuade him.
Fang Yunfei was still kind-hearted. He couldn't bear to see the tragedy of the old Zhu family killing each other. He couldn't help but persuade Zhu Yuanzhang,
"Your Majesty! You have indeed wronged His Highness the King of Yan!"
"The King of Yan still respects his big brother very much.”
"I can testify for the King of Yan. In his entire life, the King of Yan never rebelled against the Crown Prince.”
"He just snatched his eldest nephew's throne!”
