"Who is this kid?" When he heard Zhu Su say the words "Trick daddy too", Lao Zhu's eyes couldn't help but have a fierce light. When Zhu Su said this, he couldn't wait to ask.
Zhu Biao frowned deeply, wondering which of his brothers might have such deep intentions as described in Lao Wu's words. Empress Ma saw the clues from the word "virtuous grandson" and asked with a pale face: "Could it be...could it be that Emperor Jianwen is the heroic child in Chang's womb..."
"No." Zhu Su shook his head. "This Emperor Jianwen is my eldest brother's second son, and his name is Zhu Yunwen!"
"He's actually still my son?" Zhu Biao looked in disbelief. When Zhu Su said it was not Zhu Xiongying just now, he was still relieved. He still had lingering fears in his heart, thinking about how he would have returned home to face his beloved wife if he had known in advance that he was carrying such a rebellious son. Unexpectedly, before his eldest son was born, a second son suddenly appeared, and he was even honored to receive such a gnawing comment from his fifth brother. His Royal Highness, who had always been gentle and gentle, was so shocked that he could stuff a whole big egg into his mouth.
"Where is Xiongying? The Chang family is Biao'er's legitimate wife and the child she is pregnant with must be a legitimate son. You also said that the baby she gave birth to will definitely be a boy. Why did Xiongying not succeed to the throne but this troublesome son Zhu Yunwen appeared?" Lao Zhu asked .
"Hero Ying... died young, at the age of only eight. His biological mother, Chang, gave birth to his eldest brother's third son, Zhu Yunxi, in the eleventh year of Hongwu. He also died of postpartum physical weakness only eleven days after giving birth. .”
"After Chang's death, the eldest brother's concubine Lu was able to rehabilitate her, and Zhu Yunwen, who was originally the concubine of Lu, also became qualified to inherit the throne..."
"What! Fifth brother, you said...what!" Zhu Biao's face suddenly turned pale. "You said...my eldest son Xiongying...only lived eight years old?"
"And your sister-in-law...will leave me in six years?"
Suddenly learning of such a tragedy, Zhu Biao couldn't bear the shock, couldn't stand still and fell down on the chair.
"Xiong Ying actually..." First she learned that her eldest son would only live until the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and then she learned that her eldest grandson Xiong Ying, who had been given high hopes by her husband and wife, could only live to be eight years old. Empress Ma felt like the world was spinning. , murmuring: "God, why are you so unkind to my descendants!"
"Why do you think so little of my descendants?"
"Don't be anxious yet." Zhu Su advised hurriedly. "Now that we know that my sister-in-law suffered a loss after childbirth, it is easy to prevent it. As for the heroic hero, the child's early death must be due to congenital deficiencies. I have quietly informed my sister-in-law of the methods of raising the fetus after the funeral. If you follow the instructions, it may be possible. May Xiongying grow up safely. There is no need for you to lament!"
"Okay! Good boy!" Queen Ma felt hopeful and stroked Zhu Su's hand with great emotion. Seeing that Xiao Wuer was so concerned about her sister-in-law and nephew, she felt extremely guilty for her previous suspicions.
"Since the Chang family still left Zhu Yunxi behind, why did we go to establish Zhu Yunwen who was a troublemaker?" Lao Zhu was still very concerned about the words that even he had been deceived, and continued to ask. Zhu Su then said to Lao Zhu: "Although Zhu Yunxi is his elder sister-in-law's biological child, he lost his mother when he was young. At that time, his elder brother had already taken on many affairs and was often out on inspection tours. It is inevitable that he neglected to teach him."
….
"There are also unofficial histories saying that the step-wife Lu was a scheming person in the inner house. Although she treated Zhu Yunxi as an equal on the surface, she actually did not discipline him and allowed him to do whatever he wanted to do to his grandfather."
"Moreover, she taught Zhu Yunwen how to observe words and expressions, and she deliberately cried loudly at the funeral of Prince Zhu Biao to win his grandfather's love. This Zhu Yunwen even performed filial piety in every way during the old age of his grandfather, er, your father, and his filial piety was well known to both the government and the public. I finally touched your heart and made him your grandson."
After listening to the history of Zhu Yunwen's rise to power, Empress Ma frowned slightly: "The words of unofficial historians cannot be trusted. Since Zhu Yunwen knows how to fulfill his filial piety, he is not a good boy. Why did you say that to him before, Su'er?"
"Good boy? Just him? Ha." Zhu Su sneered. "Even from the official history, this guy is undoubtedly a ruthless person who seeks fame and reputation! Please continue to listen to me."
"Historically, after you passed away, as soon as Zhu Yunwen came to the throne, he appointed civil servants who had been suppressed by Emperor Hongwu. He couldn't wait to get started, preparing to start the first major event during his reign."
"The name of this important event
For: Cutting off the feudal clan! "
"Cutting the feudal lordship?" Lao Zhu frowned. There was no problem if the emperor wanted to reduce the vassal state. During the Pre-Han Dynasty, there were threats to the imperial power due to the powerful vassal kings. And had to cut down the feudal vassal. It was just that he had just died at that time. Could it be that the vassal kings of all lands had already lost their tails by then? Will he be so dim in his later years?
Lao Zhu felt that things were definitely not that simple.
Zhu Su smiled coldly, his disgust for Zhu Yunwen beyond words.
"My good nephew, cutting off a feudal clan means more than just cutting off a feudal clan."
"The ones that were cut off were all the heads of our uncles!"
Ignoring the frightened state of Lao Zhu, Queen Ma, and Zhu Biao again, Zhu Su continued: "Let me talk to you, King Zhou Zhu first. Oh, because the land of Wu is rich, you think it is not suitable to be a vassal fiefdom. Later, you will I changed my title to King of Zhou. Because Zhou King Zhu Di was close to Sai King Zhu Di, who had a large number of soldiers, he was the first to deal with it, and was sent to southern Xinjiang on unfounded charges."
"King Zhu Shu of Qi was assigned in the same way."
"The acting king Zhu Gui was accused of cruelty and was immediately put into prison."
"The king of Min, Zhu Chu, was also given an unreasonable name and was demoted to a commoner."
"The king of Xiang, Zhu Baiding, is trying to imprison him for the crime of printing money privately. The king of Xiang is so fierce that he cannot bear the humiliation, and his whole family is in the palace."
"When he finished these things, he had only succeeded to the throne for two years..."
"Bastard! Bastard!" Lao Zhu was furious, wishing that Emperor Jianwen was right in front of him so he could grab him and strangle him to death. "He attacked our son before our bones were cold!"
"How can he have family ties in his heart? How can he have family ties!"
"This is Zhu Yunzhen. There are historical records that he once asked you: 'Who can control the kings who are not in peace?' You asked him back: 'What do you think?'. The guy replied at that time: 'Embrace them with virtue and treat them with courtesy. If you can't control it, then cut down its territory; if you can't, then destroy its people; if not, then use your troops to attack it."
The translation is: Use virtue to win their hearts, and then use etiquette to restrain their behavior. If it doesn't work, you will weaken their territory. If it doesn't work, you will change their fiefdom. If there is really no way, then you can draw your sword and fight.
What a standard and kind answer? What a great grandson who is "sincere, pure and filial"! However, when Lao Zhu died, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the butcher's knife!
Lao Zhu's face became more and more ugly, and he finally roared, raised his hand and smashed the empty bowl that was used to hold the medicine: "You even lied to my grandfather!"
"Inhuman! Is he still a human being?"
