Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard for his eldest son and gathered an extremely luxurious East Palace camp for him.
Song Lian, the leader of the East Zhejiang School, the nominal first person in Confucianism, was his teacher. Li Shanchang, the first nobleman in Huaixi, and the six founding kings all held positions in the East Palace. King Chang Yuchun of Kaiping was his father-in-law. It seems that his father-in-law died young, but he was one of the top three figures in the military generals.
Xu Da was the first contributor to the founding of the Ming Dynasty and ranked first among the "Six Kings" of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
But the most important battles in his life were all fought together by Chang Yuchun.
The two have been together since they met each other fifteen years ago.
From the beginning of the battle against Chen Youliang, the two of them took charge of each other, with one commanding and the other charging. Then, this golden pair was born.
Many tough battles, whether it was Zhang Shicheng or the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition, were fought by these two people together. It can be said that Xu is not separated from Chang, and Chang is not separated from Xu.
Both Xu and Chang died early, and Chang Yuchun died of armor-removing wind, which is also known as lumbar dorsal myofasciitis. Many knights in medieval Europe died of this disease.
But Xu Da died of a terminal illness, dorsal carbuncle, which is an acute suppurative disease between the skin and flesh of the back. Fan Zeng, Meng Haoran, and Zongze all died of back carbuncle, and the old wild boar Pinurhachi also died of back carbuncle. carbuncle
These two diseases were terminal diseases in ancient times, and if you got them, you would be dead.
As for the folk legend that Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Da a roast goose, it is true, but Xu Da was about to die at that time, so Zhu Yuanzhang sent his cook Xu Xingzu to make Xu Da’s favorite roast goose for him. Let him finish his last meal so that he can go on the road and be a starved man. As for the so-called roast goose that will cause back carbuncle, this is false.
The six founding kings, the nobles of Huaixi, and the literati from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were all members of the crown prince Zhu Biao. As a result, the six founding kings all died early, and the surviving king of Dongou, Tang He, was old and indifferent. In the 22nd year of Hongwu I will return to my hometown in Fengyang next year.
Song Lian Hongwu, the first Confucian master of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang forces, retired and returned to his hometown ten years ago, and the forces in eastern Zhejiang declined from Zhu Biao's side.
And Hu Weiyong, a fellow recommended by Li Shanchang, was completely killed because he and Zhu Yuanzhang had a dispute over the power of the monarch over the power of the prime minister. Also dead together were the Huaixi nobles headed by Li Shanchang. This was not an injustice to him.
In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang either actively or passively killed the forces in the East Palace that he had arranged for his son Zhu Biao.
Isn't it very cool? Then his explanation to Zhu Biao was, I am removing the thorn from you. In fact, it was because of the imbalance of power in the East Palace that Zhu Yuanzhang took action. If the Six Kings were not dead, he would not take action.
In any case, the Dong Palace camp was finished, and then Zhu Biao started playing another group of Dong Palace.
He gathered together his uncle-in-law Liang Guogong Lan Yu, the inspector-general Zhan Hui, and the minister of household affairs Fu Youwen to become his new team.
The civil and military officials and Huaixi nobles were all matched again. Compared with those who were matched by Zhu Yuanzhang before, they were only a little behind, but they were still outstanding people at that time.
As a result, Zhu Biao was short-lived and died in his prime. As soon as Zhu Biao died, his entire team was eliminated by his father, which was the Lan Yu case among the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty.
If Zhu Biao had not died, the Lan Yu case would not have happened, and Zhu Di would not dare to rebel, because he could not be defeated. If Lan Yu could enter the martial arts temple, at worst he would be among the top seventy-two generals. As for Zhu Di, he was at most a middle-ranking member of the Seventy-Two Generals. He was on the same level as Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi and Ying Guo Gong Fu Youde, who were implicated in the Lan Jade case, or even worse.
And now Zhu Biao is about to die. The cause of death is wind chill. Wind chill is the most deadly disease in China from ancient times to the present. When did Zhu Biao really get wind chill?
It was when he was investigating whether Chang'an could be used as the capital of the country that he contracted wind and cold from overwork. After that, he returned all the way from Chang'an to Yingtian Mansion without rest. He died of fatigue and wind and cold, and then Zhu Yunwen became the emperor's grandson.
Now Zhuo Qun appeared in Ciqing Palace with his people. Zhu Biao had already asked someone to put on the Nine Chapters of Gun Crown for himself. He knew that he was going to die, but he had to die with dignity. He did not allow himself to be in the palace. After his death, he was asked to dress himself, so he had to put on the crown prince's nine chapters before he died.
Zhuo Qun looked at Zhu Biao, who looked a lot like Pan Yueming, a bit like Jiao Zhongqing in "The Peacock Flies Southeast". He was always polite no matter who he was talking to, even if he was about to die.
After putting on Gunmian Jiuzhang, he also bowed and thanked those who helped him get dressed. Each of those people returned the gift with red eyes, and no one dared to look at him.
Zhuo Qun appeared in Ciqing Palace without a care in the world, sitting at the end of the crowd, eating an apple and looking at Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao was a little curious about the people who suddenly appeared. Even if human beings are about to die, they still have strong curiosity.
There was no one there just now. I know everyone in Ciqing Palace, but I have never seen this person before. I have never seen the clothes he is wearing. Who is he?
Zhu Biao looked at Zhuo Qun with a pale face, and Zhuo Qun was also eating an apple and looking at Zhu Biao.
"Who are you? I have never seen you before."
Zhu Biao's face flushed as he spoke.
It was only the people in Ciqing Palace who saw Zhuo Qun.
"Who are you and why do you appear in the palace?"
Several guards immediately pulled out the swords from their waists and stood in front of Zhu Biao, protecting him behind them.
"What year is it today?"
Zhuo Qun looked at Zhu Biao and asked. As for those guards, he really didn't take them to heart. In his opinion, they were just some bastards who wanted to betray their leader.
This is an exaggeration, but it is not a lie. Zhuo Qun can see that the physical quality of these people is similar to that of the earliest tall and strong ones. They are all at the level of ordinary people. He can kill them all with one hand.
"April 24, the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu."
I don’t know why Zhu Biao answered this question, and he didn’t know the reason himself, but he just answered. He had some unclear trust in this person.
"It's April 24th, so you're going to die tomorrow."
Zhuo Qun took two bites of the apple, put it on the table, looked at Zhu Biao and said.
"You are so bold that you dare to curse your Majesty."
The guards rushed up with their weapons, raised their swords and struck down.
Zhuo Qun shook his head and reached out to grab the leader, and threw him out. Several other guards also threw him out, but Zhuo Qun didn't even move.
"Don't hurt him."
When Zhu Biao saw those people taking action, he immediately said that he was worried that the person sitting there would be injured. These guards were carefully selected by Zhu Yuanzhang from the Jinyi Guards, and they were all top-notch masters.
