Simulation object one: Zhu Gaochi
Identity: [Prince] [Emperor]
Simulation object two: Zhu Gaoxu
Identity: [Lord]
Simulation object three: Zhu Gaosui
Identity: [Lord]
Zhu Di was quite satisfied with this and the identities of these three sons. Although he often said to the King of Han, "The prince is often sick, you should encourage him", but he was just trying to deceive the second son and could not be taken seriously.
How could this little brat work so hard to help him fight without a lot of lies?
In the end, it is Zhu Pangpang who will take the throne!
Zhu Pangpang has a great grandson, but your second son is a crooked melon and cracked jujube?
There is no successor. Based on this alone, it is impossible for Zhu Di to let the second child become the emperor.
Zhu Di decisively chose to imitate Zhu Gaochi's [Emperor] identity.
[In the eleventh year of Hongwu, you were born. Your father was the eighteen-year-old King Yan. 】
[You have been more cautious in urinating since you were a child and have a calm temperament. Although Xi Jing doesn't like to talk, she is very knowledgeable and has been fond of reading since she was a child. In order to train you, your father hired a great scholar and martial arts teacher to teach you reading and horse arching when you were very young. 】
Zhu Di nodded slightly, because Zhu Gaochi was his and Queen Xu's eldest son, and he was quite popular when he was born. But as Zhu Gaochi grew up, he became frail and sickly, and even suffered from obesity. Therefore, such a body is destined to be unable to bend a bow, shoot an arrow, or ride a horse to fight.
Zhu Di was the emperor on horseback, so he was naturally disappointed that his son could not mount a horse to fight.
[In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, your grandfather decreed that you should be crowned the Crown Prince of Yan. Although you are not liked by your father because you are weak and fat, you are very popular with your grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang. Perhaps it was the natural influence of the old Zhu family, but the bigger reason was that your own kindness and virtue reminded him of Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao. 】
Zhu Di's mind was racing with thoughts. In terms of ability and character, his eldest son was indeed very similar to Zhu Biao, Prince Yiwen, who was at the height of his power. It's just that Zhu Biao's ending was not very happy. He died of illness, which is regrettable.
"Damn it, this fat man won't die young like my elder brother, right?" Zhu Di thought in his heart: "There is no such possibility, I must be overthinking it!"
[In the first year of Jianwen, the emperor reduced the vassal vassalage. Your father could not bear the humiliation and it was difficult to raise troops to appease the emperor. Your father first rescued Yongping and defeated Wu Gao from Shanhaiguan, then sent troops to Daning, and ordered you, the crown prince, to stay in Beiping. 】
[Li Jinglong, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, led an army of 500,000 to besiege Beiping, but the army has been taken away by your father. The city of Beiping is empty, but you insist on leading all the officers and soldiers in Beiping, including the old, weak, women and children, to fight bravely. 】
[In the end, with your leadership and the assistance of your mother, the city of Peiping was defended after being attacked several times, and finally it was until your father returned to Peiping with King Ning's troops. 】
Zhu Di felt a little emotional. Although the boss was not good at riding and shooting, he was good at benevolent governance and strategy. He knew this.
The Battle of Peking thoroughly demonstrated that the seemingly weak prince Zhu Gaochi was not weak at all, but on the contrary, he was brave and resourceful.
[In the second year of Yongle, your father appointed you as the Crown Prince, your second brother Zhu Gaojiu as the King of Han, your third brother Zhu Gaosui as the King of Zhao, and your fourth brother Zhu Gaojiu as the King of Qi. 】
[Although you were officially established as the crown prince, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are not reconciled to their failure. They are still seeking opportunities with the political forces surrounding them to seize your position as the crown prince. 】
Zhu Di had to admit that he had struggled when establishing the position of prince.
However, Xie Jin's words at that time, "The emperor's eldest son is benevolent and filial, and the world will return to his heart" dispelled Zhu Di's doubts. After all... there is also "a good sage who can prosper for three generations".
[In the 22nd year of Yongle, your father died of illness on his way back to Beijing from the Northern Expedition. Before his death, your father issued a will and passed the throne to you. You became the Hongxi Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. 】
Zhu Di was stunned.
In the 22nd year of Yongle's reign, I died of illness during the Northern March?
Do I have eleven years left...
Zhu Di let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat relieved: "It is natural that the emperor will die soon."
Zhu Di didn't have many surprises about his death.
How can a person live forever?
In his life, he had been a prince, rebelled, drunkenly slept in the lap of a beautiful woman, and woke up to take charge of the world. A lifetime of civil and martial arts will be remembered forever. As long as the Ming Dynasty is at its peak, there will be no regrets even if one dies.
The eldest son Zhu Gaochi is very virtuous. After he succeeds to the throne, the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty should be prosperous, right?
[In the first year of Hongxi, you, who have been in charge of the country for twenty years, have lived under the majesty of your father all day long, and your body has been crushed. After being the emperor for ten months, he felt that the end was coming, and he passed away after leaving a legacy to the crown prince Zhu Zhanji. 】
[The simulation of Emperor Zhu Gaochi’s identity ends. 】
Zhu Di:?
Are you here to fucking be funny? !
Hong Xi died in the first year of his life, and Zhu Gaochi died after less than a year in office?
Could you have died any more hastily? !
Zhu Di felt very melancholy when he thought of the tragic ending of his eldest son.
He now seriously doubts that the idea of passing the legend to Zhu Gaochi was wrong, but...
If you don't pass the position to the boss, who will you pass it to?
Second child?
At present, the second child seems to be the most suitable candidate. He is physically strong and capable of fighting, which is very similar to Zhu Di.
But if the second oldest one succeeds to the throne, the other princes will not end well. Moreover, the second son's shortcomings in running the government are too obvious. If he were passed on to the second son, he would definitely fight for years to expand the territory. The Ming Dynasty could not bear two consecutive emperors.
As for the third child, that is even more impossible.
The third child is an excellent conspirator, but he can only live in darkness all his life. The status of emperor is too important for the third child to support him.
As for the fourth child...
Just don’t mention it.
"Among my sons, none of them can support the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Di felt so lost for the first time.
…
Prince Qi's Mansion
"Fourth brother, where are you putting it?"
"Stop shouting, I'm here."
Zhu Gaojie walked out and saw the burly uninvited guest standing in front of the door.
King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu.
"Why is the second brother free to visit today?" Zhu Gaojie was suspicious.
"Let me tell you..." Zhu Gaoxu suddenly took back what he was about to say, and waved impatiently to the servants of Prince Qi's Mansion, "Guanggungu, we two brothers are talking, and you servants dare to steal Listen, aren't you afraid of thorns in your ears?"
Facing the arrogant Prince Han, the maids were frightened and left in fear.
After driving the servants away, Zhu Gaoxu whispered: "Fourth Brother, let me tell you, the old man did not know what kind of hysteria he committed last night..."
"Second brother!" Zhu Gaojie suddenly interrupted King Han's speech and pointed to the sky, "Listen up to heaven. There may be no one listening to us right now."
"Fuck, why are you such a coward?" Zhu Gaoxu was a little dissatisfied, "Who the hell dares to eavesdrop in the palace? Are you tired of living?"
"Who can guess the emperor's thoughts?" Zhu Gaojie did not explain.
I don’t know how many hidden stakes of the Qianqing Palace have been planted in your Han Dynasty palace, and why are you leaving them here?
How sinister Emperor Yongle was is clearly remembered in the history books of later generations!
Not to mention his unfavored King Qi, even the Prince's East Palace probably has a lot of hidden secrets.
Otherwise, how could Zhu Laosi go on an expedition with such confidence and not be afraid of the prince stealing his home?
