[Select the simulation object, the identity of Emperor Zhu Zhanji]

Zhu Di took a deep breath and closed his eyes lightly.

Zhu Zhanji, the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di had always loved this grandson very much and raised him as his heir, even more than his sons.

There is a widely circulated rumor that in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Di, who was still serving as the king of Yan, had a strange dream. He dreamed that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was holding a large kui and handed it to him, saying, "My grandson will be handed down from generation to generation, and he will be prosperous forever." As soon as he took over Dagui, Zhu Di woke up, and Zhu Zhanji happened to be born at this time. When Zhu Di thought about it, he felt that his grandson must be something great. When he looked at it again, he saw that the child's face had a heroic spirit and the temperament of a destined son. Zhu Di was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. My grandson seems to be born to be an emperor, so in that case, I might as well do the opposite! To make my grandson the emperor!

Zhu Di knew very well how serious this rumor was. He did not rebel because of some bullshit dream. The situation at that time was not up to him. Under the pressure of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, he had to rebel and fight with Zhu Zhanji. The relationship is not big.

In fact, it is not uncommon for God to grant blessings. For example, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, killed the White Snake and revolted, and had 72 black moles on his thighs; Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, came to earth as a thunderbolt immortal; Song Renzong, a barefoot immortal; even the elders of the Zhu family The ancestor Zhu Bailiu has a legend about breaking willows to test the dragon's energy.

As for whether it's true...just take it as a joke. But it is true that Zhu Di loved his great sage Sun Zhu Zhanji.

[In February of the first year of Jianwen (the thirty-third year of Hongwu), you were born. You are the eldest son of Prince Zhu Gaochi of King Yan and his first wife Zhang. 】

[Your grandfather, King Yan Zhu Di, officially launched an army against the court of Emperor Jianwen in the name of "Qing Jun's side, Jingguo is in trouble". After three years of the "Battle of Jingnan", your grandfather defeated Emperor Jianwen and successfully seized the throne. He became the third emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, with the reign name Yongle. 】

[In the second year of Yongle, after your grandfather became emperor, he faced a difficult decision, which was who to appoint as the prince. The eldest brother Zhu Gaochi is kind-hearted and good at handling administrative affairs; the second brother Zhu Gaoxu is strong and decisive and good at military strategy. The two sons each have their own advantages, which makes it difficult for Zhu Di to choose. 】

[At the critical moment, Xie Jin, who came from your father's sect, said to the emperor, "A good saint grandson can prosper for three generations." This made Zhu Di suddenly enlightened, and this good saint grandson refers to the six-year-old You. After making up his mind, the emperor named your father the crown prince. 】

The words "good saint grandson" made Zhu Di determined to hand over his identity as the first heir to the throne to his boss Zhu Gaochi. This shows how high Zhu Zhanji's status is in his heart.

Just by being the eldest grandson, he was a hundred miles ahead of others.

[In November of the ninth year of Yongle, you were registered as the grandson of the emperor and began to be crowned. From now on, you will follow Emperor Yongle whether it is patrolling Shuntian Mansion or conquering Mongolia. 】

[You are young and mature, and you are good at planning. Under the emperor's careful training, you have become a man who is both civil and military, brave and resourceful. 】

[You are different from your father. At critical moments, you can let go of family ties and do whatever it takes. As the saying goes, fighting against the sky and the earth is endless fun. 】

[Even if the person blocking your way is your uncle. 】

Zhu Di:......

He always felt that something was wrong with this sentence, but he couldn't put it into words.

What a joke! He, Mr. Zhu, and his family are obviously the father resigning to the son, laugh it off!

[You secretly cultivate your own power, deploy your spies and manpower, and fight against the power of your second uncle, King Han, and third uncle, King Zhao, and live a fulfilling and happy life. However, this happy life will eventually end. In the 22nd year of Yongle, your never-ending grandfather stopped forever in Yumuchuan. This year, you are twenty-six years old. 】

[You have shown sophisticated means and abilities. With the power you have cultivated for many years as your team, and the civil service power left behind by your father who worked hard to supervise the country for many years, you quickly attacked from three aspects: the right time, the right place and the right people, and quickly defeated your two men. A good uncle who supported his father on the throne. 】

[From your grandfather's death, to your father's ascension to the throne, to your being canonized as the crown prince, to your father's death, to your ascension to the throne as emperor, only eleven months have passed. 】

Before the crown prince's position under Zhu Zhanji's butt was warm, his biological father passed away.

When the young crown prince saw his father's body, he cried loudly. After crying, he wiped away his tears and officially ascended the throne.

All tears must be shed before he ascends the throne, because after becoming emperor, he can no longer shed tears.

He should stand against the wind, bear all the hatred and hardship, and bear the weight of the emperor's crown alone.

[You have ascended the throne, with the title of Xuande. From this moment on, you are the Xuande Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[Not long after you calmly ascended the throne, your second uncle, the King of Han, rebelled. At a time when people were in panic, you showed strong tactics and quickly quelled the rebellion. You showed your powerful strength and strategy, which shocked everyone in the country and stabilized your throne. 】

[After putting down the rebellion of the King of Han, someone suggested to you that you should take care of the two remaining uncles. After you think about it for a moment, you will have a conclusion in your mind. 】

[For the King of Zhao who had colluded with the King of Han, you shocked him, took back part of his military power, and abolished his wings, thus eliminating the possibility of King Zhao's rebellion. 】

[At this time, there is only one person left who threatens your throne. 】

[This man is your fourth uncle, also known as the "Southwestern King". He holds military power and is far away from the capital, Qi King Zhu Gaojie. 】

Zhu Di's heart skipped a beat.

It seems that his deployment has had a huge impact on the future.

When he simulated the identity of the emperor of Han Dynasty before, King Qi should have conquered Fujian, an "indisputable territory for military strategists". However, due to Zhu Di's influence, King Qi controlled the military power of the Southwest Army this time and became the "King of the Southwest" in the Ming Dynasty.

Such strength has already posed a threat to the emperor.

[You hesitated for a long time, and finally ordered Yangwu Marquis Xue Lu and Anyuan Marquis Liu Sheng to assume important positions in the Southwest Army to divide King Qi's military power, instead of directly depriving King Qi of all power in the southwest. 】

[You are not doing this out of simple kindness, but because of multiple factors. 】

[First of all, if King Qi is suddenly deprived of his military power, it is likely to cause King Qi's dissatisfaction and eventually lead to an unnecessary rebellion. Two of your uncles rebelled just after you ascended the throne. This is not a good sign and will greatly affect your newly established prestige. 】

[Secondly, the Duke of Guizhou has been in Yunnan for generations, and there is a loyal Duke of Guizhou to check and balance King Qi. Even if there is any problem, the court will have time to gather troops to suppress it. 】

[The most important thing is that with King Qi sitting in the southwest, the southern border of the Ming Dynasty was impregnable. If King Qi is withdrawn and the court does not have a trusted general family like Duke Qian, Ming Dynasty will have no choice but to give up its southwest territory. 】

[If things come to that point, headed by the British Duke, these nobles who conquered the southwest territory with their blood will be extremely disappointed in you. 】

Every inch of country, every inch of blood!

How can we abandon the land that the soldiers paid for with their lives?
