A prince who intends to rebel will naturally have no chance of becoming the crown prince.
So three of Queen Ma's five biological sons completely bid farewell to the throne.
In the Ming Dynasty, not all princes were qualified to inherit the throne.
The inheritance of the throne of the daimyo is based on these sixteen words: if there is a direct descendant, there is no direct descendant, the father dies and the son succeeds, the elder brother succeeds to the younger brother, this means that among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, only these five legitimate sons can succeed. He is qualified to inherit the throne. Others do not have this qualification before they are completely dead, so it doesn't matter whether they are tempted or not.
And the only ones who are qualified to be moved by this are the four legitimate princes of Qin, Jin, Yan, and Zhou.
Now that the reputations of the three princes of Qin and Jin have been completely ruined, and they have no chance of being crowned kings, the only one with a good reputation, King Zhu Di of Yan, has naturally become a thorn in the side of the prince's best friend, Lan Yu. , I don’t want to pull out this nail and pick this thorn all the time.
After all, who gave Zhu Di such a good reputation? A prince who was charitable, wise and decisive, talented and intelligent, brave and good at fighting, and who trained his troops day and night. No matter how you looked at it, he wanted to compete for the throne. If you are not afraid, who are you afraid of?
When Zhu Di learned from Zhu Biao the reason why Lan Yu was afraid of him and wanted to kill him, he almost cried.
Zhu Di felt that he was really wronged by Dou E.
Do you think that I, Zhu Di, don’t want to be lustful, bully men and dominate women? Do you think I have never thought of doting on my concubine and destroying my wife? Do you think I just want to be charitable and train my troops day and night?
I can’t do that either, okay!
Who doesn’t know that the real person in charge of power in my Prince Yan’s Mansion is Princess Yan. Even if I, Prince Yan, want to spend money, it is Princess Yan who will judge it. It is Princess Yan who is kind and charitable, okay?
Why do I have to train my troops day and night?
Do you know Zhuanzhu? It was the special reserve who was listed as the "Five Great Assassins" in ancient times along with Cao Mo, Yu Rang, Nie Zheng, and Jing Ke. He had a saying that I kept in mind.
That is, he who can yield to the hand of a woman will surely be able to stretch himself above ten thousand men.
This is my motto!
Am I not lustful?
Do you know that I have an outhouse in the palace in Yingtian?
Don’t know?
Do you know Director Wang? Is it that Wang Dao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who was in charge of the affairs of the three dynasties of Yuan Emperor, Ming Emperor, and Cheng Emperor, and had overwhelming power, plus Jiuxi?
do you know? His Jiuxi has a short shaft and a long tail.
Do you know why?
Because Director Wang once kept a concubine behind his wife's back, one day his wife found out and came to charge him with the crime. Director Wang, who was having a grand conversation with someone, learned that his wife was coming and quickly drove the bullock cart to escape. Naturally, the bullock cart could not run very fast. Prime Minister Wang was very anxious, and the tail was also used as a whip. However, the shaft of the cart was very long and the tail was short. It was very difficult to reach the cow's buttocks. Since then, some people have said that when adding nine tin You don’t have to have anything else, but you must have this short shaft and long tail.
I always keep these two things on hand, just to remind me that I must be careful when raising a foreigner!
Even my princess doesn’t know that I have a foreign residence, so how could you possibly know?
Do I still have to tell you that I have raised a foreigner?
Do you think I live too lightly?
Does Qi Jiguang of later generations know?
He was also a famous general who took the rank of general among all the armies.
He once said that he would specially invite his wife to the military parade.
I train my troops day and night just to invite my wife to the military parade.
Why can't you understand my difficulties?
You must know that my princess is a girl who can recite "Wei Liao Zi" backwards.
Also, do you know what Ren Huan, Guan Guogong of the Tang Dynasty said?
My princess was a Bodhisattva before, but now she is a tiger. Are you afraid of her if she falls on you?
And why do you think I raised my eldest son to be a gluttonous and lecherous fat man, my second son to be a murderous and violent martial artist, and my younger son to be a playboy who carries birds in cages and flies like eagles and lackeys? To show that I have no successor?
Why can't you understand my difficulties?
Don’t you know that being henpecked is a fine tradition of our Ming Dynasty royal family?
It’s not just me. My father, Emperor Hongwu, who expelled the Tartars, didn’t start recruiting concubines after my mother died. What kind of selection was there before?
And why do future emperors want to marry those Xiaojiabiyu? Is it not because the general girls are too fierce and cannot be beaten, and the civil servant girls are too refined and cannot be subdued, so they can only choose those who are worse, at least so that the emperor can suppress them.
All this is the tradition of our Lao Zhu family and cannot be passed on to others.
But now Zhu Di asked Lan Yu to take the Three Thousand Battalion to the East Palace, but Lan Yu was pressing the sword. Of course Zhu Di knew what was going on.
He knew it was all a misunderstanding, but his scalp was still numb.
After all, there is a guy in front of him who wants to trade with him at the extreme limit, and he seems to be ready for the extreme exchange, which will make anyone's scalp numb.
"Lanyu, now take your people to His Majesty's place to obey his orders. No one in the East Palace is allowed to come in or out at will. Anyone who enters or exits without His Majesty's order will be killed without mercy!"
Although Zhu Di was a little scared, he still told Lan Yu, because the three thousand battalions and the imperial guards in the palace were now only under Lan Yu's command. He had no right to command these troops. Now he could only rely on Lan Yu. .
But when Mu Ying brings his people back, Lan Yu can go back to his Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.
And Lan Yu was looking at Zhu Di with squinted eyes, wondering what she was really thinking about?
Maybe you are really thinking about whether it is worthwhile to exchange the limit for one?
Zhu Di was also staring at Lan Yu closely. The white hair on his back was sweating in waves, and his clothes were almost soaked.
Lan Yu didn't attack Zhu Di in the end, maybe he thought the situation with Zhu Biao was more urgent now.
Don't look at Zhu Di shouting about auspiciousness coming from heaven and the saint coming out, but in fact no one knows what is going on in the East Palace. Zhu Di's shouting is just to appease people's hearts.
People's hearts cannot be chaotic at this time, and Zhu Di made the right choice.
And Zhu Biao's safety is much more important than Zhu Di's life.
Lan Yu immediately raised his military talisman, summoned three thousand battalions of cavalry and headed towards the Prince's East Palace.
We were riding fast all the way, regardless of the ban on riding horses in the Forbidden City.
The interior of Yingtian Mansion's Forbidden City was also full of twists and turns. Lan Yu and his men kept alternating between acceleration and deceleration. It was only when the red light came that he and his men rushed to the door of the East Palace. Lan Yu immediately ordered all the troops to dismount. This is where Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty now resides, so there cannot be any panic.
So he took the lead in dismounting and shouted to the East Palace: "Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, is here to lead his troops to protect Xiangrui!"
He didn't say that it was to protect Zhu Biao's safety, but to protect Xiangrui.
This is the safest way to say it.
