Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 655: Judy is reading Zhu Biao

Emperor Zhu?

Zhu family emperor?

Homonymous with "di"... Lao Si?

No, no, no, I thought about the fourth brother who liked to wield swords and guns and acted like a general when his brothers were playing.

Thinking about the Yongle Emperor who was praised for his talent in both civil and military affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this idea was a bit too advanced.

Besides, the eldest brother's affairs are well organized.

What about the fourth brother? At the beginning, the seven brothers were hardworking and respectful to each other.

Emperor Ming Tian thought that the idea that came up with the two words "Emperor Zhu" was too ridiculous.

After thinking about it, he calmed down and simply corrected it:
Zhu Yuanzhang: Our eldest son, Emperor Yongle, has the surname Zhu and given name Biao, which is not his childhood name.

Zhu Yuanzhang: I was just about to ask, what does Biao'er's name Judy mean and how to pronounce it?

"Zhu Biao? Not Emperor Zhu? Why do I remember..."

Zhang Fei scratched his chin, vaguely remembering that later generations first talked about Emperor Yongle when talking about the Anshi Rebellion.

But that was more than a year ago, and Zhang Fei himself was busy with military affairs, traveling to many places in Yongliang, Guanzhong and Liangzhou, so he didn't remember it clearly.

"The Yongle Emperor's name is Zhu Di, not Zhu Biao."

Kong Ming shook his head and said:

"Yide's words made me a little anxious."

Zhang Fei's expression suddenly brightened, and he wiped his neck with his hand:

"A father is kind and a son is filial, and brothers are friendly and respectful to each other?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but knock on his brother's head:
"Don't follow the later generations and use random words!"

Kong Ming carefully recalled the notes on the screen and found the only thing that was clear about Zhu Di, which was that his eight hundred personal soldiers seized the throne from a man named Zhu Yunwen.

There are only two places that mention Judy. One says that she admires Emperor Taizong of Tang, and the other talks about Emperor Jiajing changing the name of Emperor Taizong of Ming to Emperor Chengzu of Ming.

Anyway, this is the first time I've heard the name Zhu Biao, and it's not a nickname... I should be more roundabout.

After making up his mind, Kong Ming said:
"Yide, please don't write anymore."

Although he felt itchy in his heart and seventy or eighty possibilities of bloodiness emerged in his mind in an instant, Zhang Fei still nodded and agreed.

〖Zhuge Liang: Was Emperor Yongle Zhu Biao…benevolent and filial when he was crown prince?〗

Zhu Yuanzhang in Kunning Palace was refreshed. He only had time to turn around and smile at the queen:
"Wu Hou asked where our Biao'er is!"

After saying this, he hurriedly turned back and began writing rapidly, and even the way he stood and held the pen became more solemn.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Wu Hou may not know that our son has traveled through mountains and rivers since he was young and knows the hardships of people's lives. He has paid homage to his ancestors and understood how difficult it is to start a business. He has remembered the kindness of the predecessors and understood the difficulties faced by the common people in making ends meet.

Zhu Yuanzhang: When our country was founded, we established a model crown prince. He has been studying hard for thirteen years, maintaining a positive attitude towards scholarship and eliminating frivolous tendencies. He is then in charge of state affairs and whenever there are suggestions, he can always state the pros and cons.

Zhu Yuanzhang: So three years ago, I ordered that all government affairs be entrusted to the crown prince. If the crown prince is undecided, he will report to me. In the past three years, Biaoer has governed the country diligently and frugally, and all officials have praised him. In addition, the brothers are also very kind and harmonious. They will not return to the Tang Dynasty...

Zhu Yuanzhang: Moreover, Biaoer already has the spirit of a wise ruler. In his spare time, he never forgets to learn about military affairs. He still remembers that the remnant of the Yuan Dynasty is still gasping for breath, and he does not forget to plan for the preservation of the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. This is a great thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Let's see this screen. It says it can be displayed again after three months. Then we can bring Biao'er here and greet Wu Hou in person.

This... Kong Ming suddenly felt that it was much more difficult to write.

Zhang Fei was ordered not to write, but he could hardly keep his mouth shut. Seeing the attitude of Emperor Hongwu, he smacked his lips:
"If Emperor Hongwu knew..."

Shaking his head, Kong Ming denied this guess and said:
"If Zhu Biao had been the regent since the 10th year of Hongwu, and the Hongwu Emperor was assisting in the administration of state affairs, and if it is said that the brothers were friendly and loving and harmonious, then Yide's speculation is too absurd."

"Most likely...they died suddenly from illness or battle."

Lu Su protested immediately:

"Yide, why are you looking at me?" Speechlessly tapping Yide's head with his feather fan, Kong Ming sorted out the order in his mind.

Zhu Yunwen, who was usurped the throne by Zhu Di, was most likely Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty or Emperor Rangzong of the Ming Dynasty.

After calming himself down, Kong Ming started writing again.

Zhuge Liang: Emperor Hongwu taught his children well, and he deserves congratulations.

Zhuge Liang: The prince has experienced a lot, I guess he is married?
Zhu Yuanzhang: Thank you for asking, Marquis Wu. My eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying will be seven years old in two months. Although he is young, he is calm and steady by nature, and has the demeanor of a great man.

Kong Ming let out a light sigh, feeling that the Hongwu family affairs were no less complicated than the founding of the Tang and Song dynasties.

The eldest grandson is called Zhu Xiongying, so where did Zhu Yunwen come from?
Could it be that Zhu Yunwen’s nickname was Xiongying?
And Ming Tianzi over there had already started asking questions.

〖Zhu Yuanzhang: Wu Hou is a scholar with extensive knowledge. Do you know how to pronounce this word "judy"? What does it mean?〗

For a moment, Kong Ming found it even more difficult to write.

Then he watched as more words floated across the screen.

〖Li Shimin: This is the language of the Western Rong, which was given a homophonic form by later generations. It has been pronounced as Zhu Biao since then, but its meaning is unknown.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Thank you, Emperor Taizong of Tang, for clearing up my doubts.

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin put down his pen and turned around to see all the ministers looking at him.

The three ministers, Fang, Du and Wei, all had almost photographic memories, not to mention the light curtain which looked quite magical no matter from which angle one looked at it.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty is now headed by Li Shimin, who has the desire to seek outside, so these words are remembered more clearly.

Therefore, Du Ruhui shook his head and disagreed:
"It could be as short as three months or as long as half a year. Emperor Hongwu must know this."

"March is March." Li Shimin sighed:
"The Hongwu Emperor loves his son dearly. If he knew about this, I'm afraid..."

Shaking his head, the Tang Emperor suddenly remembered many things he had read from "Records of the Grand Historian", "Book of Han" and the pre-Sui Dynasty literary records.

Wang Mang usurped the throne with humility, Cao Pi pretended to be pure and kind and planned to succeed him, and Yang Guang pretended to be a traitor and seized the throne.

Turning over the record that Du Ruhui had just found, Li Shimin rubbed his fingers on the vertical line of words "Zhu Di, who usurped the throne with eight hundred personal soldiers" several times, and felt in his heart:

The hidden secrets of this Ming Dynasty family affair must be more than ten times more complicated.

"And..." The Tang Emperor raised his head from his contemplation:

“Only in this way can it be called interesting.”

They did not hide their desire to watch the fun, but when the civil and military officials of Zhenguan looked at each other, they saw anticipation in each other's eyes.

The wise crown prince, and the second son who seized the throne, and Ming Rangzong who was not the eldest son...

Empress Changsun mercilessly exposed her shortcomings:

"It seems that every day in March, you have to do it as per the annual schedule."

Li Shimin responded lightly:
"The affairs of Japan and Liaodong are all of great importance to the Tang Dynasty."

"Without seeing the military reports of great achievements, I feel like every day is a year."

In the Guangzheng Hall in Bianliang, Zhao Kuangyin didn't quite understand all of this, and he intuitively felt that there seemed to be many mysteries surrounding Emperor Yongle.

But...what does it have to do with him, an official of the Zhao Song Dynasty who is not sure whether he can survive the next year?

His goal was to achieve success now and prevent Emperor Hongwu from cleaning up the mess for the Song Dynasty.

However, from the words of Emperor Hongwu, Zhao Kuangyin accurately discovered something that he was very concerned about.

〖Zhao Kuangyin: The light curtain that Emperor Hongwu saw was not attached to the stone table and presented on the dome of the house, but was attached to the screen?

Zhao Kuangyin: Then there is no need to look up to see clearly?
