Zhao Changge almost laughed out loud when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words. Lao Zhu always boasted that he had extraordinary vision, but he didn't expect that his vision was so bad.
However, Zhao Changge did not refute Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Zhu Di heard his father's words, he nodded in agreement: "I am very relieved that the descendants of the Ming Dynasty have produced so many diligent emperors."
With Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di taking the lead, the others began to praise Zhu Zaijing. As the person involved, Zhu Zaijing wanted to explain, but he was afraid of embarrassing his ancestors, so he could only bite the bullet and nod with a smile.
Only Zhu Qiyu frowned and looked at Zhu Zaijing with some suspicion. Like Zhu Zaijing, he was also relatively weak and was quite enthusiastic about matters between men and women. So it can be seen at a glance that Zhu Zaicheng's physical weakness is indeed due to overwork, but this work is definitely not serious.
But Zhu Qiyu saw that all the Taizus had said this. Wouldn't it be a slap in their face to stand up and sing the opposite at this time, so he could only bury his doubts in his heart.
After Zhu Yuanzhang and others made a serious analysis, they looked at Zhao Changge quite proudly: "How is it? Is our guess about Zhu Zaijing correct?"
Zhao Changge smiled and nodded, but before Zhu Yuanzhang could be happy, he immediately continued: "That's half correct."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned displeased: "Correct is correct, wrong is wrong, there is no such thing as half right. Mr. Zhao, don't you want to admit that I have good taste, so you deliberately find fault."
Zhao Changge almost laughed out loud.
"The reason why I said you were half right is because Zhu Zaijing was indeed a very hardworking emperor, but his diligence was not for reviewing memorials and handling government affairs, but for the pleasure of men and women."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly turned red from suppressing his emotions. Thinking of how he had pointed the country just now, Zhu Yuanzhang's toes were clasped on the ground in embarrassment.
Zhu Di also felt that he was a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to look at the eyes of his descendants when they looked at him. Just now, in order to cater to Zhu Yuanzhang, no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Di nodded to cater to him, as if he was like Taizu. The attitude was the same, but now that I think about it, I feel embarrassed all over.
"Indulgence?" Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, then pointed at Zhu Zaijing angrily and said: "You, the king of a country, have made your body like this because of indulgence?"
Zhu Zaijing was so frightened that he did not dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. After all, Taizu was not a good-tempered person.
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, then walked to Zhu Youtang and said with a very sorry look: "I made a mistake just now. How can this guy compare with you? You have broken down your body because of government affairs." Yeah, this guy... is just a fucking mess."
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang still seemed to feel dissatisfied, and pointed at Zhu Houcong's nose and cursed: "Look at what a good son you gave birth to. You are obsessed with seeking Taoism and have no time to teach your children, which has led to the death of your son." After he ascended the throne, he became obsessed with the pleasures of men and women, which is a disgrace to the Zhu family."
Zhu Houcong was so arrogant that he didn't dare to defend himself, but the grievance in his heart made him scold me. This guy had nothing to do with me. Although he was my son, we really didn't know each other well.
After the angry Zhu Yuanzhang vented his anger, the scene was silent. No one dared to touch Zhu Yuanzhang's troubles at this time.
Only Zhao Changge could see it. In fact, Lao Zhu was not really angry. There were many strange emperors in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang had known so many and experienced so much. His endurance would never be so bad. The reason why he was so angry was actually In order to ease the awkward atmosphere just now and give him a way out, Zhao Changge took the initiative to change the topic at this time.
"Actually speaking, Zhu Zaicheng's ability to inherit the throne was partly due to luck. Zhu Houcong never liked his son very much. After Zhu Zaicheng passed away, Zhu Houcong believed that his son's death was due to him establishing the throne too early. , so I have never been willing to establish a crown prince again."
"In addition, the Taoist priest Tao Zhongwen later persuaded him that the two dragons would not meet each other, so Zhu Houcong kicked all his sons out of the palace and stopped everyone from meeting each other."
"In the thirty-first year of Jiajing, Zhu Zaijing held a coronation ceremony with Zhu Zaizhen, King of Jing Dynasty, and married the princess the next year. Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shidan, Zhang Juzheng, etc. successively served as ministers of Prince Yu's Mansion, guiding Zhu Zaijing His studies also shaped his image as a wise king and promoted him to inherit the throne."
"In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Zhu Zaijing's mother Du passed away. Because Du was not favored during her lifetime, the funeral arrangements were suppressed after her death, and Zhu Zaijing was not allowed to live in the relationship of parent-child for three years. Officials do not wear mourning clothes, nor are they granted the title of noble concubine, etc. However, Zhu Zaizhen's mother is not only alive, but also serving Zhu Houcong. In addition, Zhu Zaizhen is smart, clever, and good at communication. He is more able to cater to the saint than Zhu Zaijing. Therefore, Zhu Houcong prefers Zhu Zaizhen."
Regarding this point, Zhu Houcong has no intention of denying it. Whether it is from the perspective of his son or the gap between his son's mother and concubine, Zhu Houcong really does not particularly like Zhu Zaijing. Now it is because he is worried that the prince will not be able to escape in the future. He was destined to die young, so Zhu Houcong had no choice but to take the initiative to get close to Zhu Zaijing, otherwise he would never have thought of getting closer to Zhu Zaijing.
And King Jing Zhu Zaizhen is indeed more liked by him than Zhu Zaijing. In addition to the differences between the two, he is also inseparable from their mother and concubine.
"Because of Zhu Houcong's differential treatment, not only could Zhu Zaizhen receive additional gifts from his mother-in-law, Concubine Lu, but many powerful officials also speculated that the emperor planned to appoint King Jing as his heir in the future, so they invested in Zhu Zaizhen in advance. Therefore, Zhu Zaizhen's life was very superior. However, Zhu Zaizhen did not even dare to ask for royal gifts directly. Instead, he had to bribe Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, the then chief minister of the cabinet, to obtain them."
"It is because of living in such an environment that Zhu Zaijing's character became more and more cautious. When Zhu Zaijing's eldest son was born, because the child was born during Du's mourning period, Zhu Houjuan was very unhappy, so later Zhu Zaijing tried his best to avoid reporting the birth of his son to Zhu Houcong. For example, he did not name his third son Zhu Yijun after he was born, and he did not dare to have his hair cut during the full moon."
"After the death of the crown prince Zhu Zaihen, Zhu Houcong always refused to establish a heir, so the ministers in the court gradually divided into two factions for their own political interests, and gradually divided into the Yuwang faction headed by Xu Jie and the Jingwang faction headed by Yan Song .”
