Chapter 189 Zhu Yunwen’s animal behavior

Although everyone was laughing at Zhu Di just now, they were also very curious about Zhu Di's experience.

What kind of desperate situation forced the aloof King Yan of the Ming Dynasty to sink to the point of eating feces and running naked?

You must know that although there are many heroes in history who choose to lie dormant when faced with danger, they are basically addicted to wine and sex, and engage in prostitution during the day.

The more awesome ones are, at most, just pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.

For example, Gou Jian, the king of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, used his spirit of enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. After being defeated by Wu, he not only served the king of Wu and gave his wife to the king of Wu, but also conducted deep self-reflection and learning, and finally succeeded in revenge. Destroyed the state of Wu.

But for someone like Zhu Di to "enter into the drama", not to say it is unprecedented, at least it is unprecedented. At least they have never seen the second person be so cruel to them.

What did Zhu Yunwen do after he ascended the throne to force Zhu Di to fall like this?

Cui Yuan spread his hands and said: "Actually, you must have guessed what Zhu Yunwen did, which was to cut down the feudal vassal."

really!

Hearing this, everyone looked suddenly enlightened.

In fact, they had already had similar speculations in their minds just now. The only way to force a feudal king to such an extent was to cut down the feudal clan after much deliberation.

The Seven Kings Rebellion of the Han Dynasty is a bloody lesson!

"This Nisun, he actually did this! Completely destroying my painstaking arrangements!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen's behavior, especially after Cui Yuan's confirmation.

"Ni Sun! I will be blind in the future!"

"Actually, His Majesty the Ming Emperor, I have always had a question that I cannot understand."

Li Shimin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked curiously: "In ancient times, there was the Rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Han Dynasty and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty. The former was not bad, at least it was suppressed by Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, but the latter created more than two hundred people in China. The years of turmoil even led to a huge tragedy such as the Five Husbands Rebellion in China."

"Even my ascension is, in a sense, the result of the successful rebellion of the vassal king. After all, I was also the King of Qin before becoming the emperor."

"These are the history that I have learned about. Your Majesty, Emperor Ming, is in an era that is eight hundred years more advanced than the Tang Dynasty. Why do you still adopt such a policy?"

This was Li Shimin's question, and it was also the doubt of everyone present. Even Zhu Di didn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ennoble himself and others as princes and kings, and they also had the right to lead troops.

"Father, why exactly?" Zhu Di asked again, which resulted in Zhu Yuanzhang's glare.

"It's not you, the traitor, who is causing this trouble! You have the nerve to ask me now?"

"Huh?" Zhu Di was dumbfounded. How could this have anything to do with him again?

"Originally I didn't want to say anything, but it happened today, so I'll just tell you everything."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked away angrily and said slowly: "Actually, the reason why I insist on enfeoffing vassal kings is not because I don't understand the many lessons of history and the risk of vassal rebellion. I just feel that although it is harmful, it can still solve the current situation. The best way.”

"First of all, in terms of domestic affairs, Biao'er is already the prince, and the other children have experienced the battles of resisting the Yuan Dynasty, annihilating Chen Youliang and annihilating Zhang Shicheng, etc., and they all have certain strength and team."

"If I keep all of you in the court, I can still suppress you in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and you will be obedient. But in my later years, when I am unable to manage the government, there may be speculators who bet on their money and encourage you to compete with each other for your savings. .”

"No! I should say it's not possible, but absolute. Those guys are such rubbish!"

"And Biao'er himself often flaunts himself as a benevolent and righteous king. This is not a good thing. It will only make people around him feel that he has no majesty or temper."

"The most obvious example is you, Zhu Di. You are such a rebel. You even did the disrespectful thing of putting your arm around Biao'er's neck to show off before!"

Zhu Di instinctively shrank his head. Now he understood why Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him before.

Zhu Biao was also speechless. He did not expect that the friendly behavior of himself and his brothers would have such a terrible meaning in the eyes of his father.

But thinking about it from another angle is also the right thing to do.

After all, the neck is a person's life no matter what. Being hugged by another person is basically equivalent to giving your life to that person.

Even if this person is Zhu Di, his own brother, this is still unbearable.

Zhu Biao may not care, but as a father, Zhu Yuanzhang has to care!

"So I am very worried about Biao'er, worried that his status will eventually be insecure."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Just as Emperor Tang said, although Emperor Tang is a wise emperor, and the Tang Dynasty is also going to glory in your hands, Li Jiancheng is far inferior to you, Emperor Tang, in every aspect."

"However, there is no doubt that the Xuanwu Gate Incident in the early Tang Dynasty was still an ethical tragedy. These bloody lessons are still vivid in our minds!"

"Now that the world has been settled and the country is not stable, in order to avoid this situation, I can either take away the power of all my sons, or I can only enfeoff my adult sons to four places, away from the political center, to avoid shaking the crown prince Biao'er. position."

Li Shimin nodded.

His father Li Yuan couldn't see through this at the beginning, so he left both himself and Li Jiancheng in Chang'an, which led to the increasingly serious conflict between the two brothers.

He originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see it through, so he divided the vassal kings. But now it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang clearly saw it too clearly.

"Other than that, there are external reasons. Although Yuan Gou has been severely injured now, he is still a centipede insect, so he will die but not freeze."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang took out rice paper and spread it on the table, and began to simply draw the topographic map of the Ming Dynasty and the fiefdoms of the feudal kings.

Although he has not read many books, Zhu Yuanzhang has been fighting for half his life and is very familiar with the topography of the world.

"Emperors, you may not know how terrifying Yuan Gou is. He was the first nomad to invade in reverse and occupy the entire world."

"Although the Ming Dynasty repulsed them and recaptured Yanjing (the capital of the Yuan Dynasty), they still have strong troops and many famous generals."

"One of them, in particular, was a strange man named Wang Baobao. Although he has passed away for more than five years, he caused a lot of trouble to the Ming Dynasty when he was alive, and even caused Yuanting to appear like a renaissance."

"Although Wang Baobao has passed away now, Yuanting's strength in Mongolia and Hexi cannot be underestimated."

"There are also Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. Although they and I lost in the competition for the world, there are still many small forces remaining."

"Once there are changes in the Ming Dynasty and an opportunity is given for these two turbulent forces to cooperate internally and externally, it will definitely shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule."

"The only solution is to let my princes guard the country."

"Because once the barbarians enter the fortress, the Zhu family's world will fall apart. This guarantees the loyalty of Zhu Di and his children. If other generals were replaced, it would be inevitable for them to be corrupted by the enemy and rebel." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the map , after finishing speaking eloquently, let alone brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Biao.

Li Shimin, Ying Zheng and Liu Bang all admired the grand plan in the emperor's mind.

They looked at the distribution of vassal kings on the rice paper. As long as they looked carefully, they could see that Zhu Yuanzhang's choice of fiefdoms among the various disciples was also meaningful.

The enfeoffments given to his sons were all important military towns. For example, King Liao guarded Guangning, King Yan Zhu Di guarded Yanjing, King Jin guarded Taiyuan, King Dai guarded Xi'an, and King Su guarded Xiliang.

Connecting Liaoning-Hebei-Shanxi-Shaanxi-Ningxia-Gansu into a line, closely connecting the four major towns of Xuan-Da-Ji-Liao, and the contiguous "nine sides", it is basically equivalent to building a blocking road. Mongolia enters the Great Wall of China!

The previous dynasties who created vassals all wanted their descendants to live and work in peace and contentment. Only Zhu Yuanzhang wanted them to defend the court and protect the Chinese people.

It looks like enfeoffment, but in fact it is all a heavy responsibility!

"However, it is a pity that after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he not only failed to understand your Majesty's actions, but instead believed that your uncles were threats to his imperial power."

Cui Yuan sighed, making Zhu Yuanzhang even more angry.

Indeed, his biggest dissatisfaction with Zhu Yunwen was this. Not only did he completely erase the grand blueprint he had spent countless painstaking efforts on, but he also forcibly started to reduce the vassal status.

And even if Cui Yuan didn't say anything about this process, he expected it to be very bloody, otherwise he wouldn't have forced Zhu Di to pretend to be crazy and act stupid to such an exaggerated level.

"In order to strengthen the centralization of power and weaken the power of the feudal kings, Zhu Yunwen began to cut down the feudal clans inhumanely."

"During this process, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji was deposed as a commoner by Zhu Yunwen and was exiled to Yunnan. The same was true for Xiang Wang Zhu Bai, but he was so strong that he eventually burned himself to death."

"The king of Qi, Zhu Shu, and the king of Zhu Gui and the king of Min, Zhu Chu, were also deposed as common people because of their crimes and were exiled to Zhangzhou."

"What a bastard!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he was about to go crazy. He was almost as angry as when he heard that Lu Li killed Zhu Xiongying and Queen Ma just now. He was exuding terrible murderous intent!

Zhu Di and Zhu Biao were also suffocated. Although they guessed that Zhu Yunwen's elimination of the feudal clan would be tragic, they really didn't expect it to be so terrible.

Almost all the brothers were demoted to common people, and King Zhu Bai of Hunan was even forced to burn himself to death!

Is this something a human can do?

"Is this Zhu Yunwen crazy? Why is he so decisive in doing things?"

Ying Zheng frowned, completely confused as to why Zhu Yunwen did this.

If you want to cut down the feudal clan, just cut down the feudal clan. Why do you have to go to such a terrible point and force several close uncles to such a tragic situation?

"Isn't he afraid of being criticized by everyone in the world?"

Liu Bang and Li Shimin tried to put themselves into Zhu Yunwen's perspective and wanted to understand why he did this.

But it was soon discovered that this was in vain, and Zhu Yunwen's behavior was completely without reason.

If you are worried about the rebellion of the feudal kings, then why can't you be more gentle and reduce the feudal lords, and give them wealth rewards while taking away their military power.

If you want to eliminate the root cause, then why not attack all the feudal kings at once? But one after another. Doesn't this clearly tell everyone that he is going to go on a killing spree? Are you obviously forcing the feudal kings to rebel?

Even if the future imperial court lacks strength and cannot attack all the feudal kings at the same time, then it must target the strongest feudal king first!

Although I don’t know the situation of other vassal kings, from the topographic map drawn by Zhu Yuanzhang, it can be seen that the fiefdom of King Yan was the central capital of the Yuan Dynasty!

The resources, wealth and material resources of Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty are definitely far superior to those of other places in the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Yunwen wants to reduce the vassal, he must remove the Yan King Zhu Di, instead of first removing some insignificant and weak vassal kings like this.

I have to admit that sometimes it is good for a person to be stupid to a certain extent. At least others cannot reproduce his mental process at that time.

"Your Majesty Zulong, of course he is afraid, but this fear is reflected in other places."

Cui Yuan explained with a smile: "For example, after King Zhu Bai of Hunan was forced to burn himself to death, he was very angry. He felt that King Xiang had a terrible heart and deliberately framed him for disloyalty and unrighteousness."

"So I gave Zhu Bai an evil posthumous title, "Rou".

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di had blood-red eyes at this moment, and they had no idea how to describe Zhu Yunwen's behavior.

Beast, this is simply the behavior of a beast!

Do not!

Even more outrageous than an animal, because even an animal is not as outrageous as him!

It was obvious that he was forcibly cutting down the vassal on unfounded charges, but in the end he actually had the nerve to say that the vassal king committed suicide out of integrity and had plunged him into a state of disloyalty and unrighteousness.

Is this an idea that a human being can come up with? Is it an idea that humans can have?

"He is indeed the child of a poisonous woman. He is as inhumane as his mother!"

"Damn it! Damn it!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he even cursed Lu Li fiercely. He felt that Zhu Yunwen's vicious heart was exactly the same as Lu Li's.

Zhu Biao did not refute, his teeth were almost bleeding from the anger. He had the same idea as Zhu Yuanzhang.

I love my brothers so much and have gone through countless ups and downs together.

As a result, his bastard son turned out to be a bastard who was worse than a beast.

He attacked his uncles crazily and forced them to rebel. No wonder Zhu Di wanted to rebel. Under such circumstances, if he didn't rebel, he would die!

If Zhu Yunwen wasn't his biological son, Zhu Biao would definitely want to strangle him alive!

"Ju Bai~"

Zhu Di was more concerned about Zhu Bai's ending, with deep sadness in his eyes besides anger.

Zhu Bai used to be his follower, and the relationship between the two was very good.

This time he was about to set off to Yanjing to join the feudal vassal. Zhu Bai had cried for several days because he couldn't let go of him. A few days ago, he had made him drink all night long, and he was drunk and unconscious.

Zhu Di had no idea that Zhu Bai, a well-behaved and good brother who had followed him since childhood, would end up not enjoying a peaceful old age, but would be so miserable!

Not only was he forced to burn himself to death, he was also given a vicious posthumous title!

"Zhu Yunwen! Zhu Yunwen!!!"
