"Actually, these few are still considered good. Among the few lords that Jianwen tortured, his twelfth uncle, Xiang King Zhu Bai, had the worst ending.”
"You guys are so blessed compared to him!”
Seeing the indignant looks of the people in front of him, Fang Yunfei's heart softened and he could not help but comfort them.
"Twelfth Brother? What happened to Twelfth?"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask loudly when he heard Fang Yunfei mention Zhu Bai.
Although Zhu Bai, the twelfth son of the Emperor, was not the direct descendant of Lady Ma, he was intelligent and quick-witted since childhood, and was deeply favored by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Three years ago, in the 12th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang made a jade belt for each of his sons and asked the princes to turn around to let him see what accessories they had paired with the jade belt.
Everyone turned around, except for the eight-year-old Zhu Bai, who twisted the jade belt to show his father.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked him why he did this.
Zhu Bo said,"You must not betray your father.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he thought even more highly of Zhu Bai. His doting on him was no less than that of a few Di sons!
Now that he heard that Zhu Bai had been killed by Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became extremely nervous.
"It was Emperor Jianwen who sent jailers and petty officials to arrest Xiang…"
"Bastard! What was the crime of 'privately printing treasure'? This king has so much money that flowers can't spend it all, do I still need to secretly print money?”
"That's right! The salary that Imperial Father gave us is simply inexhaustible! Besides, if we run out of money, won't we ask the imperial court for it? Why did he do such a brainless thing?”
"This crime isn't even as good as 'wrongdoing'! 'Lawless' is obviously trying to frame you. Wouldn't this 'privately printed treasure notes' make Twelfth Brother plead guilty by pressing his head?”
Before Fang Yunfei could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qin Wang, Jin Wang and Zhou Wang.
Zhu Yuanzhang could be said to be the emperor who cared the most about kinship among all the emperors in China. He was so good to his son that there was nothing to say!
During the 15th year of Hongwu, the annual salary of a first-grade official was only 1,000 stones of rice and 300 strings of banknotes.
However, the prince's annual salary was 50,000 stones of rice, 25,000 strings of banknotes, 40 bolts of brocade, 300 bolts of silk, 100 bolts of gauze, 500 bolts of silk, 1,000 bolts of winter and summer cloth, 2,000 taels of cotton, 2,000 taels of salt, 1,000 catties of tea, and 50 bolts of horse fodder per month.
In addition, there were fertile fields, mansions, and shops that the prince had given to him when he was a vassal.
Not counting anything else, just the Prince's salary and money was equivalent to the annual income of more than fifty first-grade officials!
With this ability, how could he lack money?
Moreover, even if the Prince was really out of money, how convenient would it be to directly contact the Imperial Court?
How could his father and brother not give it to him?
Why would they waste their time privately printing money?
Was the Prince's time not time?
If Emperor Jianwen used "illegal things" to cut the vassals, although it was a bit rogue, he still dared to do it.
However, it was too shameless to frame Twelfth Brother by using 'privately printed treasure'!
This was equivalent to Emperor Jianwen pouring sh * t into Zhu Bai's rice. After that, he had to announce to others that because the Xiang King liked to eat sh * t, he would not be given food in the future.
Wasn't this purely disgusting?
It wasn't just the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and the King of Zhou who were hopping mad.
Even Zhu Di, who was suspected of rebellion, couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also furious!
Even if Emperor Jianwen wanted to cut off his vassal state, Twelfth Brother was still our Old Zhu's son, your Zhu Xiongying's uncle, and Ming Dynasty's son!
Even if a royal child like him was to be escorted to the capital for interrogation, he should be escorted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and interrogated by the main court.
The three judges were not allowed to interfere!
But you actually used a few low-class jailers to capture Twelfth Brother.
Are you humiliating the Xiang King or yourself?
Humiliate our Old Zhu, the Ming Emperor?
"Kid Fang, how did Twelfth Brother die?”
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and asked Fang Yunfei word by word,""How did Jianwen torture his 12th uncle?”
"Emperor Jianwen didn't torture his 12th uncle. It was Xiang Wang Zhu Bai who committed suicide.”Fang Yunfei shook his head.
"Suicide? Twelfth Brother committed suicide? Why did he commit suicide?" Crown Prince Zhu Biao asked in surprise.
From the methods of Emperor Jianwen, it was nothing more than exiling or imprisoning the kings. There was no example of his uncle being punished.
How did Twelfth Brother offend Xiong Ying to the point that he was forced to commit suicide?
"The main thing is that Xiang Wang Zhu Bai is too manly and has too much backbone!”
"When he heard that Emperor Jianwen had sent jailers and petty officials to arrest him, he smiled and told his close subordinates that he was the son of Emperor Gao, a descendant of the heavens and nobility! I'd rather die than be humiliated by a villain."
"Therefore, Prince Xiang Zhu Bai gathered his concubines and children in the Prince Xiang Residence. After locking the door, he set the palace on fire.”
"The Xiang King himself wore a royal robe, rode on a white horse, and held a strong bow. After shouting the name of Taizu three times, he jumped into the fire.”
"The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the mansion was reduced to ashes. Prince Xiang's corpse was not left behind, his bloodline was extinct!”
Fang Yunfei nodded and described the process of the Xiang King's suicide with admiration.
"Twelfth Brother! You died so miserably!"
"What did Twelfth Brother do wrong? He actually had no children at all, no more descendants!”
"Jianwen Emperor is so ruthless! Twelfth Brother, why are you so silly? Can't you wait a little longer?"
“……”
Hearing that Zhu Bai had died such a tragic and heroic death, Zhu Di, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi couldn't help but feel sorrow. They didn't care about their status as princes and started cursing.
"Hahaha!"
"Good! Good death! Twelfth Brother is indeed the son of our Old Zhu!”
"You didn't embarrass our Old Zhu even before you died!”
"Hahaha!"
"Good death!"
Zhu Yuanzhang threw his head back and laughed loudly. A line of turbid tears flowed down from the corner of his eyes.
Fang Yunfei sighed in his heart.
According to the historical records, Xiang King Zhu Bai was both civil and martial, both intelligent and brave!
When he was in the capital, he often studied and practiced martial arts until midnight.
After becoming a vassal of Jingzhou, Zhu Bai set up Jingyuan Pavilion to recruit talents and collate books.
When he patrolled the territory, he would read books and read classics when he was free.
When he encountered a place with beautiful scenery, the King of Xiang would write poems and essays, which were engraved on the stone.
In addition to literary talent, Zhu Bai himself had extraordinary physical strength. He was proficient in all kinds of martial arts.
When he was conquering the southwest chieftain, the Xiang King had taken the lead and was brave and good at fighting!
He had beaten the barbarians into submission, and they called him "Xiang Invincible"!
Zhu Bai was also very fond of Elder Huang's Dao and gave himself the Daoist name " Zi Xuzi." He was kind and charitable, and was kind to others.
The Jing state he guarded could be said to be a place where no one picked up anything on the road and no one closed their doors at night!
Such a wise and virtuous king died in the fire, not even leaving behind a son.
It really made future generations sigh!
Every time Fang Yunfei read up to this point, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Fang…Mr. Fang, Jianwen can't be this crazy, right?”
"You must know that he and Twelfth Brother are about the same age and often play together.”
"How could he be so heartless and do such a beastly thing?”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao said in disbelief.
Zhu Xiongying was only eight years old this year, three years younger than Zhu Bai.
The two of them got along very well and had a very good relationship.
It could be said that they were uncle and nephew in name, but they were actually brothers!
Besides, Zhu Xiongying was very sensible and acted like a little adult since he was young.
Zhu Biao really couldn't understand why he could do such a cruel thing when he grew up.
"Emperor Jianwen and the Xiang King have a good relationship? I don't think so, right?"
"If the relationship was really solid, then after the Xiang King self-immolated, Emperor Jianwen would not have given him the posthumous title of 'Li!”
Fang Yunfei said with a frown.
"Bastard! Twelfth Brother was already dead! What else did Emperor Jianwen want to do? Do you have to kill someone?"
"Could it be that Zhu Xiongying really doesn't care about family and wants to kill all his uncles?”
When he heard Zhu Yunwen bestowing the posthumous title to Xiang King Zhu Bai, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been holding back, finally flew into a rage!
"Li" is the posthumous title of evil!
It was a posthumous title!
If you don't regret your previous mistakes, you will be called perverse; If you don't think about accepting what you have done, you will be called perverse. It is said that he knows his mistakes and does not correct them.
In posthumous titles,"Li" referred to people who knew their mistakes but did not reflect on their own sins. When punishment came, they were unwilling to accept it.
It could be said to be the evil posthumous title of the evil posthumous title.
Emperor Jianwen's intentions for giving such a posthumous title to his uncle were simply vicious to the extreme!
For a moment, the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and the King of Zhou understood why Zhu Di did not give Emperor Jianwen the posthumous title and temple name.
You f * cking deserve it!
"Imperial Father, please calm down! After your son returns, he will immediately imprison Xiong Ying.”
"In addition, send a great teacher to teach the second son Yun Wen. I hope Yun Wen can turn over a new leaf and not follow in Xiong Ying's footsteps!”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao also knelt on the ground, kowtowing and apologizing.
Fang Yun Fei was dumbfounded!
Why did they lock up Zhu Xiongying?
What did he have to do with this?
Wasn't Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen?
Why do you still want Zhu Yunwen to be Emperor Jianwen?
Did Boss Zhu and the Crown Prince think that Zhu Yunwen's uncles didn't die miserably enough and wanted them to die again?
