Hongwu period.
The atmosphere was deathly silent.
The young King of Xiang, Zhu Bai, still didn't know what happened, so he looked up at the sky in confusion.
"Why did that uncle burn himself with fire? Isn't it very painful? Bai'er accidentally burned his finger with firewood yesterday and it hurt for a long time..."
Zhu Di's eyes were red and he held Zhu Bai's hand tightly.
Zhu Biao's face was a little pale, and his lips moved a few times, as if he was in disbelief.
The ministers watched with eyes, nose and heart, holding their breath and not daring to take a breath.
"Asshole!!"
In the dead silence, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly looked like an enraged beast, his nostrils flaring and he smashed the inkstone at hand.
"What a brat! The world I worked so hard to conquer is for all my heirs to enjoy! He's so good, but he dares!! He actually dares to kill my son! Dethroning the king whom I personally anointed!!"
"Our old Zhu family really has a good boy!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang walked out slowly, with a sarcastic and cold murderous intent on his face.
"Why, does this bastard plan to imitate what Qin II did?"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers and kings turned pale with fright and fell to their knees with a plop.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The Second Qin Dynasty was truly a notorious and incompetent king who had subjugated his country. He single-handedly destroyed the territory and foundation left to him by his father, and also slaughtered his own brothers and sisters, leaving his old winner completely cut off from his generation.
This is a negative teaching material that emperors of all dynasties despised, but now Zhu Yuanzhang actually uses him as an analogy, which shows how angry he is.
But it is true that although the prince system will always leave all kinds of problems in future dynasties, in Zhu Yuanzhang's case, this is a good system that ensures that his descendants can have an iron rice bowl and have nothing to worry about for a lifetime. .
He came to the world with a broken bowl and had tasted the taste of hunger and being bullied. Naturally, he did not want any of his descendants to fall into that situation.
Naturally, for later generations of emperors, the princely system will always need to be pruned to some extent, but Zhu Yunwen was stupid because he was too eager for quick success.
As soon as he took over his grandfather's class position, he couldn't wait to destroy his grandfather's sons next to each other. Isn't this just picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to curse?
Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin board has not yet cooled down, and Zhu Yunwen is not afraid that his grandfather will pretend to be alive and beat him to death!
Tang Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Taizong.
Li Shimin held his belly in his hands and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Pfft hahaha, this kid can do it!"
Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others on the side looked at Li Shimin helplessly, sighed and shook their heads.
Li Shimin was happy enough and crossed his chest again in deep thought.
"It seems that the founding emperor's prestige in the court is very high..."
The 'self' mentioned by Li Shimin obviously refers to Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor.
In his opinion, Zhu Di was undoubtedly a very capable emperor, and he was by no means a mediocre person even before he ascended to the throne.
Besides, he is still the legitimate heir of the emperor. No matter what, he will not let the throne pass over him and fall into the hands of the next generation, unless the emperor of the previous generation has absolute authority to temporarily restrain him.
Obviously in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan did not have the absolute dominance and intimidation power of Zhu Yuanzhang, and his prestige among his sons was far less than that of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Li Shimin asked himself, Li Yuan originally only planned to pass the throne to his brother, but he didn't hold back and directly rebelled and forced the palace, let alone what if Li Yuan planned to pass the throne to his useless nephews who in his eyes could only suck milk.
Wei Zheng said firmly with a cold face.
"Your Majesty, maybe Emperor Yongle didn't have the ambition to become an emperor at the beginning. Instead of paying attention to these things, you might as well focus more on national affairs!"
Li Shimin choked, his face turned green, he pointed at Wei Zheng and stared at him.
"Am I the emperor or are you the emperor? I say he will have it!"
Wei Zheng suddenly became angry and fell back, which made Li Shimin feel relieved.
Li Shimin did have a say in this matter. In fact, Zhu Di did not really want to be emperor at all, he just didn't want to rebel.
This person doesn't want to rebel, and that's just because he doesn't want to rebel against his father, nor does he want to rebel against his brother.
As for others, it's hard to say.
Zhu Yunwen is a bloody example. Another big mistake he made was that he did not pay attention to his powerful uncle, and mistook the tiger who restrained his claws for a well-behaved kitten to bully.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che lay down lazily and threw a jujube into his mouth, chewing it and laughing.
"What an idiot. He dares to do such a thing without the ability. Isn't he looking for death? If he really had the ability to suppress it, he wouldn't even dare to let go, no matter what other people's opinions are."
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing nodded in agreement.
I don't think they asked them whether they were happy or not when they attacked the surrounding barbarians, and their methods were more than a little bit cruel and cruel. They forced countless barbarian kings to death, but who dares to fart so far?
You will only cry for your father and mother when the big man steps on you!
Thinking of this, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were extremely glad that the emperor they were following was such a heroic figure as Liu Che, and they became filled with emotion.
"Compared with your Majesty, this future emperor is really far behind."
Liu Che puffed up his chest proudly.
"Is he worthy of comparing with me? If it were the Emperor Yongle, he would still be qualified!"
