This matter should have ended successfully.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's death and Zhu Yunwen's succession, the Ming Empire continued to develop steadily.
God's plan was better than man's.
No one had expected that the honest Zhu Yunwen would hide a restless heart. The first thing she did on stage was to show her uncles, Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, a butcher's knife.
At this moment.
Huang Zicheng's voice sounded again.
"No! The King of Yan is powerful. Once we alert the enemy, it will backfire. We should first cut off his wings and start with the other princes!”
However, Qi Tai felt that he had to capture the leader first. If he took down the most powerful Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, then the others would naturally not be a problem.
The two of them argued.
In the end, Zhu Yunwen made the decision,"Let's listen to Mr. Huang." Fourth Uncle's prestige was very high, and he might be in a passive position.”
The Emperor had made his decision.
Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng no longer argued. They nodded in unison and left the hall.
Zhu Yunwen walked to the window and looked at the bright moonlight in the sky. She sighed,"Grandfather, please don't blame me. I'm just trying to consolidate the throne.”
"Bullsh * t!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
"Do you think that we conferred the title of king to our sons so that they can enjoy life?”
"We're asking them to protect the country for you!”
"Kid, you've ruined the strategic plan that we've worked so hard on for decades!”
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di remained silent.
They were all very clear.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang made him a vassal king was to establish three lines of defense for the Ming Dynasty. Each line of defense had several vassal kings guarding it.
In this way.
Once the foreign tribes in the north became strong, they would have to break through the three lines of defense if they wanted to invade the Central Plains again.
This was Zhu Yuanzhang's good intentions.
But Zhu Yunwen was good.
As soon as he came to power, he completely negated Zhu Yuanzhang's painstaking strategic planning and said that it was to consolidate the throne.
No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry.
"Father, in that case, we can't blame Fourth Brother for becoming the Emperor." Zhu Biao said. It seemed that Yun Wen really didn't have this ability.”
"Your Highness, Yun Wen also has his own difficulties." After all, the uncles at the border all had their own troops and respect. As a junior, Yun Wen didn't have any subordinates, so she definitely felt a sense of crisis.”
"You're just a woman, what do you know?" Zhu Biao scolded.”
Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted,"Your wife is right. Yun Wen is our chosen successor after all. He is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."”
"Fourth Brother actually snatched his throne. This is treason!”
"This proves that Yun Wen's worries are not without reason. From his point of view, his uncles are indeed a big threat.”
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
The sovereign's way is greater than heaven.
He didn't enfeoffment his sons to various places in the Ming Dynasty so that they would have a strong army and one day seize the power and throne of the king.
From this perspective.
Zhu Yunwen indeed had his reasons to worry.
Fang Han, who had been standing at the side without saying a word, suddenly said,"Does everyone still want to continue?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without hesitation."Let's continue. I want to see how this great grandson of mine will cut down his vassal.”
Fang Han waved his sleeve lightly.
The surrounding scenery changed.
He opened his eyes again.
Everyone had arrived at a mansion.
In the front yard of the Prince's mansion.
Many people knelt on the ground. The leader was young and wore a crimson dragon robe. He was obviously a king.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked forward and carefully identified it, but he still could not recognize it. He looked at Fang Han and asked,"Which son is this?"
"King Qi Zhu Gui," Fang Han replied.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately beamed with joy." Our Little Thirteen has grown so big? Not bad, you're quite handsome."
Empress Ma also walked over and nodded with a smile.""It really is Little Thirteen. His eyebrows look exactly like his mother.”
King Zhu Gui.
Zhu Yuanzhang's thirteenth son, one of the Northern Frontier Kings, was born in the seventh year of Hongwu. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Gui was only six years old.
Compared to Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were not in such a good mood.
The couple's attention was not on King Qi Zhu Gui, but on the Embroidered Uniform Guard standing in front of Zhu Gui, reading the imperial edict.
At this moment.
The leader of the Brocade Guard was holding an imperial edict and reading Zhu Yunwen's edict loudly.
The content was very simple.
Zhu Gui, the king of Qi, was deposed as a commoner on the grounds of illegal activities and had nothing to do with the royal family.
When the Jinyiwei finished reading, the entire mansion was in tears.
The King of Qi, Zhu Gui, cried out,"Father, open your eyes and take a look! This is the Emperor of Great Ming that you personally chose, I refuse to accept this!”
Seeing this scene.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his nose was crooked." This b * stard, how can you cut a vassal like this?”
"He deposed his own uncle as a commoner and cut off all ties with him.”
Madam Lu lowered her head silently and did not dare to speak up for Zhu Yunwen anymore.
She was afraid that if she said anything more, Zhu Yuanzhang would use her as a punching bag.
Zhu Biao was also furious." This unfilial son can't even take care of his own uncle. How will the world view him?" You really don't deserve to be a son!"
"Such a despicable method, how can it be something an emperor would do?”
Instead, Zhu Di walked over and took the initiative to comfort him."Dad, Big Brother, don't be angry. I don't think there's anything bad about being a commoner.”
"If Yun Wen can let us live, at least I won't have any thoughts of resisting.”
Until this moment.
Zhu Di could accept and understand everything that Zhu Yunwen had done, but he still did not quite understand why he had become the third emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Madam Lu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, someone had spoken up for her son.
That was the truth.
From ancient times to the present, which imperial family hadn't fought to the death?
My son is already very kind by letting his uncles live, okay?
Fang Han, who was standing at the side, asked,""Do you still want to continue?"
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said," Continue!”
Fang Han nodded and waved his sleeves again.
The scene changed.
When everyone opened their eyes, they found themselves outside another mansion.
In front of the door.
Hundreds of Embroidered Uniform Guards and fully armed soldiers formed a semicircle and surrounded the manor.
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and saw three big words written on the plaque directly above the mansion.
Prince Xiang's Mansion.
"Oh, this is Little Twelve's home."”
Zhu Di was very excited." So we're at Little Twelve's house? Then I'll have to take a good look at this kid. He's grown up now, right?”
Zhu Biao smiled." That's true. You raised Little Twelve single-handedly, just like how I raised you back then."”
Zhu Di chuckled and did not say anything. He looked at the tightly shut gate of the Prince's mansion expectantly.
Just as Zhu Biao said.
The Twelfth Prince, Xiang King Zhu Bai, was Zhu Di's younger brother. The two of them had a very deep relationship.
