Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Inside the Wuying Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang sat here handling government affairs, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

He knew that many people disliked this kid Mei Yin.

For example, Mei Sizu and Mei Yi from the Mei family are like this.

And he also felt that Mei Yin was not valued.

Now, unexpectedly, Mei Yin was conferred the title of Earl on his side.

I think these people must be in a good mood and will be greatly stimulated.

Especially Mei Sizu, I'm afraid he must be regretting it so much!
That's good!

These bastards were looking down on others and kept flattering Li Shanchang.

Lean towards Li Shanchang.

After the incident, Mei Yin was immediately kicked out of the house.

Removed from the Mei family.

Are you okay now?
Through these things, he will understand how wrong he was before!

It made him feel so regretful that his intestines turned green!
Fortunately, he was expelled by Mei Sizu.

Otherwise, how could I get such a good son-in-law?
Are you so confident using it?

He remembered clearly from previous investigations why Mei Yin, the good son-in-law, did not do many things before.
After being forced to farm and feed pigs, he was able to do many things.

It is because he is free from constraints and no longer wants to seek fame and fortune that he can develop in directions that others previously thought were not the right path.

Fortunately, that's the case.

Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would be completely without talented people!

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking so proudly, there was suddenly a noise coming from the simulator.

It turned out that the simulator's cooling-off period had expired.

You can simulate again.

When Zhu Yuanzhang received the news, he was extremely surprised.

I opened the simulator and watched it without leaving any trace.

I found that the simulator, which was dull before, had become bright again at this time.

[This time, the host can choose to simulate Zhu Gang, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Qizhen.]

Please select one of them and simulate his life. 】

Looking at the prompts displayed on the simulator, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep confusion.

For a moment, I didn't know who to imitate.

He wanted to simulate all three.

There is no need to say much about my own third child.

There were also some unexpected events at the back, and they were ahead of me.

Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to know why his third son died.

If you know it in advance, you can make some corresponding arrangements.

Try your best to avoid your third child from going down the same path as before.

As for Zhu Gaochi, his grandson has not been born yet.

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a great interest in it.

After all, this is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

How he performed after becoming emperor, and the grudges between him and Zhu Gaoxu...

He wanted to see all of these.

As for Zhu Qizhen, there is no need to mention him.

The titles such as the God of War of the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor of Jiamen had already aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's curiosity about him.

It made him feel extremely excited and gave him many fantasies.

I want to take a good look at what this outstanding descendant of mine has done.

It is surprising that I can get such a title.

I want to see what kind of great achievements he has made by then, which will go down in history.

He had been struggling with this matter for a long time before.

I haven't made up my mind yet, who should I choose this time...

Looking at the three options on the simulator, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a while.

Finally, I made up my mind and chose one of them.

[Host, do you confirm to simulate Zhu Gaochi's life and watch his future? ]

On the simulator, after Zhu Yuanzhang made his choice, new news appeared to confirm Zhu Yuanzhang.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate and chose yes.

After Zhu Yuanzhang made his choice, the picture on the simulator changed quickly.

The text disappeared...

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's previous experience, a picture will soon emerge...

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to imitate Zhu Gaochi's life.

We need to see what Zhu Gaochi is really like.

Although he really wanted to see what his third son and the Ming Dynasty's God of War Zhu Qizhen would do after becoming emperor.

However, after some hesitation, Zhu Gaochi was finally chosen.

Now, it seems that the cooling time of this simulator is getting shorter and shorter.

It shouldn't be long before we can proceed to the next simulation.

You can also watch the life of your third son and Zhu Qizhen, who is known as the God of War of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no rush for a while...

While Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting, a new scene soon emerged.

A baby is wrapped in swaddling clothes.

This child looked quite big when he was just born.

"Husband, look at our son, this is our child..."

Xu Miaoyun, who was lying on the bed, forced a weak smile and spoke.

Her complexion also looked particularly pale.

"dont see!
What a fart!
This rebellious son! It was all because of him that you, Miaoyun, were almost killed!
He is just here to collect debts, what a bullshit! "

Zhu Di's face darkened. He looked at the baby wrapped in the swaddle with disdain and started cursing out loud.

Especially unwelcome.

“My dear, you can’t blame him for this.

Our children are so young, they don’t know anything…

This is not what he wanted to do.”

Xu Miaoyun looked a little gloomy and began to explain aloud.

Zhu Di heard this and snorted, "Anyway, he is an unfilial son and a debt collector!

I'm doing a good job of not throwing him out!"

As he said that, he sat down next to Xu Miaoyun and reached out to hold Xu Miaoyun's hand.

His eyes looked full of heartache and palpitations.

What happened before scared him badly.

From beginning to end, Zhu Di just glanced at his fat son with disdain.

I never looked at him again after that...

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

He could understand the feelings of his fourth son.

The fourth son and his wife had such a deep relationship that Zhu Gaochi almost suffered a dystocia when he was born.

This incident really makes people feel angry and scared.

Imagine if a similar thing happened to your own sister.

I think my mood would be the same as Lao Si's. I don't want to bother with him any more...

Soon, the picture disappeared and a new picture emerged.

There was a festive atmosphere in the palace, and it was obvious that a hundred-day banquet was being held here.

Many nobles and other people in the court were also present.

Gave many gifts.

Among them, cloth is indispensable.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of smiles.

This is not just because his grandson is already a hundred days old.

Another reason was that he saw that all the nobles had to give him gifts.

With the cloth and other things they sent, there was enough cloth for many people in the palace to make clothes.

Within a year, you basically don't need to spend money to buy other cloth.

Saved a lot of money again!

The bits and pieces left over from making clothes can be pieced together to make bed sheets and quilts.

It's all good stuff.

The quilts and sheets that Zhu Yuanzhang now used were all made from leftover fabrics from making clothes.

A flower that looks special.

"Let's name this child Gao Chi!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang out in the picture.

He drank some wine and his face looked a little red. His emotions were also very high and he was in a particularly good mood.

He always liked grandchildren, and now the fourth son of his family, who had difficulty in having children, had given birth to a big fat grandson.

How could he be unhappy?

He took the fat grandson from Xu Miaoyun's arms, held him in his arms and kissed him on the cheek.

Looks particularly friendly...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scene in the picture and couldn't help but smile.

The mood is very good.

Soon, the picture disappeared and a new picture emerged.

The picture that emerged this time was that Zhu Gaochi was already about half a year old...

Several scenes flashed by, and it was already the time when Zhu Gaochi was three years old.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you do all day long is eat!
What else can you do besides eating?

In the newly emerged picture, Zhu Di was looking at his fat son, who was only three years old but whose body looked much bigger than three years old. He was sitting there holding a cake and eating it sweetly. He scolded him with disgust.

I just can't stand this son no matter how I look at him.

Zhu Gaochi seemed quite frightened when being scolded by Zhu Di.

Put down the pastry in your hand immediately.

The two chubby little hands twisted together, not daring to look at Zhu Di.

He looked very uneasy, with tears in his eyes...

Zhu Di, whose face was serious, also had a flash of weakness in his eyes when he saw this.

He sighed, said nothing more, and left.

Zhu Gaochi stood here and didn't dare to move. After Zhu Di left for a while, he gradually relaxed.

Looking at the unfinished pastries in front of him, he obviously wanted to eat more, but he was a little scared.

It can be seen that he is having a very fierce ideological struggle here.

After a long time, the desire to eat finally took over.

I couldn't help but stretch out my little hand and look around like a thief.

He quickly took a piece of cake in his hand.

And stuffed it into his mouth.

The cheeks bulged.

It looks and tastes really delicious.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene and felt both amused and distressed.

At the same time, there are some who want to call their own fourth child over and give him a beating!
This bastard!

Look how scared he made the child.

No matter what, he is his own son!
If a difficult birth occurs, you can’t blame the child entirely!
It's been so long, and he still can't let it go?
Look how scared your eldest grandson is.

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed a little.

However, his grandson is indeed a little too fat.

Although it is better for children to be a little fat, it is not good for them to be too fat.

And through the previous simulation of the life of the fourth child, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Gaochi had not lost weight until later in life...

That's really the size of the fat.

He is in poor health, probably in large part because he is too fat.

As I thought about this, several scenes flashed by quickly.

These are all scenes of Zhu Gaochi’s childhood growth.

In some cases, Zhu Di was present, and in others, he was alone.

This Zhu Gaochi seemed to have a calm personality since he was young...

Soon, he was eight years old.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi had already been enlightened.

At this time, he was sitting under the shade of a tree at home reading.

On the small table in front of him, there were many kinds of food, including cakes, fruits and vegetables. It was a dazzling array.

Reading a book doesn't delay him from eating.

By the time he finished reading the book, he had eaten up all the food in front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw clearly that what he ate was almost as much as an adult.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that after eating so much, it is soon time to eat.

As a result, he ate two more bowls and was ready to eat a third bowl...

This grandson, you know what, has a really good appetite, but he is also really fat!
"Eat! Eat! Eat more!
All you do all day is eat!
I asked you to practice martial arts, but all you do is read books all day long!

I see you don’t want to read, you’re hiding here just to eat something delicious!”

Zhu Di's scolding voice rang out.

At this time, Zhu Di had already grown a beard.

The face looked darker.

But it is also correspondingly more majestic.

But he saw that Zhu Gaochi still didn't look happy.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi immediately stood up and lowered his head...

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little distressed.

What's wrong with reading!
Gao Chi prefers quietness to activity, so there is nothing wrong with him reading more books, because he is going to be the emperor in the future.

To become an emperor, one must not only practice martial arts, but also use his brain.

Otherwise, it won’t work if you keep fighting and killing like Lao Si…

However, after this thought arose in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his mind.

Because I am the fourth child in my family, and I have never liked studying.

He practiced martial arts regularly and led troops into battle.

But after becoming emperor, he did an excellent job!
Judging from the experience of my own fourth child, it seems that... there is nothing wrong with practicing martial arts more.

Don’t you see that your son is quite outstanding?
Of course, this is mainly because I am a better father!

The fourth one is up to you!
After watching for a while, time soon came to the 28th year of Hongwu.

By now, Zhu Gaochi had grown up and become even bigger.

There is a ceremony going on.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang who named Zhu Gaochi the Crown Prince of Yan.

During this process, Zhu Gaochi became quite obese.

But he did everything in a very methodical manner and was not afraid of the stage.

Very good.

Zhu Yuanzhang was watching this scene and also noticed that when Zhu Gaochi was canonized as the Prince of Yan, among the spectators, a young boy who was younger than Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Gaochi with envy on his face.

From the scenes he had seen before, he knew who this person was. It was Zhu Gaoxu, the man who had fought with Zhu Gaochi all his life...

The picture slowly disappeared, and then a new picture emerged.

This time, the scene that appeared showed Zhu Yuanzhang asking the Prince of Qin, the Prince of Yan, and the Prince of Jin to review the army at dawn.

As a result, Zhu Gaochi finally returned some time after the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Jin had returned.

"Why are you back so late?"

In the picture, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaochi and asked.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang already had a head full of white hair and his body was a little hunched.

There is a big gap between the current vigor and vitality. "Reporting to Grandpa Huang, I feel that the dawn is too early and too cold.

And those soldiers were all hungry.

The grandson felt that before reviewing the soldiers, they should be allowed to have a full meal first.

In this way, the soldiers will not be too hungry and can also resist the cold.

It's not because of this, but because of complaints against the court."

Zhu Gaochi seemed a little cautious and told Zhu Yuanzhang his thoughts.

Outside the screen, Zhu Yuanzhang watched this scene and smiled.

Gao Chi is a child with good character since he was young.

It's good that he knows how to be considerate of his soldiers.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty will pass the throne to him. Just based on his character, people will know that he will do a good job.

At least he can become a king who maintains the status quo.

Thinking this way, a new picture soon emerged...

After some scenes flashed, the time of Jingnan had arrived.

In the newly appeared scene, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Gaochi, as the crown prince, was on Zhu Yunwen's side, and the troops he sent were besieging the city of Beiping when the situation was critical.

This fat grandson, who had always preferred literature to martial arts, actually went up to the city wall himself at the critical moment.

Come and defend Peking with the soldiers!

Fight with the troops outside.

Although he saw through the picture that Zhu Gaochi also hesitated for some time before climbing up the city wall.

The legs are a little weak.

But he dared to climb the city wall and do such a thing at this time.

When faced with danger, fear is an instinct.

Many people will have such emotions.

This is normal.

But being able to overcome fear and face danger is not something that ordinary people can do.

The screen kept flashing, and in a short time it was already the 20th year of Yongle...

Originally, I simulated Zhu Di's life.

Zhu Yuanzhang has learned a lot about these decades.

But now, by simulating Zhu Gaochi's life, it is equivalent to looking at some of the things that happened during this period of time from a different perspective.

Saw a lot of new things.

There were quite a few things that he had not seen when he simulated the life of the fourth brother before.

The harvest is not small.

After watching for a while, it was soon the 18th day of July, the 22nd year of Yongle.

After seeing this day, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was shocked.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang remembered very clearly that this was the day when the fourth brother died.

The last time I simulated the life of the fourth child was on July 18th of the 22nd year of Yongle, when the fourth child died on his way back...

"Zhanji, why do I feel uneasy today?"

Zhu Gaochi, who looked increasingly fat, put down the red brush in his hand.

He gently patted his fat leg with his hand and spoke out loud.

Zhu Zhanji, who was standing next to him, reached out his hand and helped his father stand up with some difficulty.

“Dad, maybe the weather is a little hot and humid, so you feel this way.

I'll ask someone to bring some more ice."

Zhu Gaochi took two breaths and waved his hand, saying, "No need to bother.

I feel a little uneasy in my heart, which may have little to do with the weather.

You said... Could it be that your grandfather and his friends encountered some danger on the grassland?"

Zhu Gaochi spoke with some hesitation.

Zhu Zhanji thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Dad, this shouldn't be the case.

Didn’t grandpa send back news that the army was returning to the capital?

Those people on the grassland had already been beaten by my grandfather and fled in fear. They could only hide and did not dare to fight against my elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, my grandfather and his men moved back to the capital, and those people were extremely happy.

How dare I do anything?
Dad, you know what grandpa is capable of.

It would be fine if those people didn't chase after me, but if they really dared to chase after me, they would just be giving credit to Grandpa!"

Hearing what Zhu Zhanji said, Zhu Gaochi thought about it, nodded, and said nothing more.

It seems that he still seems a little uneasy...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh...

After a moment, the picture slowly disappeared and a new picture emerged.

"Dad...why did you leave like this?

Without you, what will happen to the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Gaochi said this with tears in his eyes.

It turned out that the news of Zhu Di's death had been secretly passed back.

Zhu Zhanji next to him was also crying loudly.

"Zhanji, take people to pick up your grandfather immediately!
I'm not feeling well, so I have to let you go.

Your grandfather loves you the most.

If you go, your grandfather will definitely be happy when he finds out..."

Zhu Gaochi suppressed his grief, looked at Zhu Zhanji and spoke.

With a strong nasal tone.

After saying this, he couldn't help coughing.

"Okay, I'll go pick up grandpa right away!"

Zhu Zhanji agreed immediately.
"But... Dad, you still have to be on guard against Second Uncle.

I must never let my second uncle know this news.

During this time, you should be prepared for the unexpected...

Grandpa has passed away, the Ming Dynasty must not be in chaos!"

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Gaochi and spoke.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "I know everything you said, go do your thing.

Your second uncle is not an unreasonable person. He would not do such a thing. "

Hearing his father say this, Zhu Zhanji nodded and said no more.

Went there soon...

The picture slowly disappeared, and Zhu Yuanzhang's heart began to lift.

Things have come to the point now, and it has reached the moment he is most concerned about.

What he least wanted to see was the sudden death of the fourth son and the undecided throne.

Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi fought and killed each other.

This caused civil unrest in the Ming Dynasty once again.

As Zhu Yuanzhang waited anxiously, another scene soon appeared.

“…Your Highness, you should strike first.

We need to be on guard against any unusual movements from the King of Han.

How about...how about you make some arrangements now, Your Highness?"

Yang Shiqi, who stayed in Beijing, looked at Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and spoke.

Zhu Gaochi was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "No.

I believe that the second brother will not do anything reckless.

Second brother, no matter how you look at it, we two are brothers from the same mother.

Now my father has just passed away, and his body is still warm.

How can I do these things here?

Let’s bring father back first.

Before that, just get the news ready and hide it well.

Don't let the second brother know, ascend the throne as quickly as possible, and settle everything.

Then the second one will have no room to resist.

Even if you want to do something, there is no way to do it and you can only be honest.

In this way, my two brothers will never have to fight against each other."

As he spoke, he coughed loudly.

Seeing this, Yang Shiqi said no more.

Amid Zhu Gaochi's cough, the picture slowly disappeared.

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief.

From Zhu Gaochi's attitude, it can be seen that Zhu Gaochi is really good to his brothers.

He is not the kind of person who says one thing in public and does another in private.

I think the dispute between him and Zhu Gaoxu will have a good ending...

And the method he thought of is indeed the best method at present.
Zhu Gaoxu's chance came only when the fourth son died and the crown prince had not yet ascended the throne.

If we had waited until Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, everything would have been settled.

Even if he had some ideas, he had to suppress them.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this, a new scene soon emerged.

This time, it was Zhu Gaochi who was wearing a dragon robe, a crown, and sitting on the dragon throne.

Accept congratulations from all officials.

He looks like he is going to inherit the throne and ascend to the throne.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face.

Very good!
The struggle between the brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu finally came to an end.

Zhu Gaochi became the emperor because it was what the people wanted.

I haven’t been the crown prince and regent for so many years in vain.

But Zhu Yuanzhang soon couldn't laugh anymore.

After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, the three things the new emperor did soon started.

And it also burned the place he particularly didn't want to see.

"… the voyages to the West for treasures, the acquisition of gems from Yunnan, gold beads from Jiaozhi, the acquisition of horses from Samar and other places, as well as the procurement, casting and supply of goods, have all been stopped…"

Someone was there, reading the emperor's decree aloud.

Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shrank slightly after hearing this.

Then he slammed the table.

These bastards, they don’t feel sorry for selling their grandfather’s land as if they were real children!

I just want to live a comfortable life!

Damn it, the fourth brother just died.

Now let’s abolish the many positive foreign policies set by the fourth brother.

If we abolish these today, will more be abolished tomorrow?
I don’t know how much effort the fourth brother put in to get these.

As a result, this made himself and the fourth brother proud.

It was gone just like that!
Now the tea-horse trade has been stopped, and the voyages to Southeast Asia have been stopped... so does that mean that after a while, we will have to withdraw our troops from Annan and abandon the Nurgandusi?
But he can't control these things.

No matter how angry you are, there is nothing you can do.

Soon, a new picture emerged.

However, about a month after Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he discussed with others the plan to move the capital back to Yingtianfu.

And after a while, the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji was sent out.

Let Zhu Zhanji go to Yingtian Prefecture to supervise this matter...

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but clench his fists again.

He knew that at this time many people in Zhu Gaochi's dynasty, from top to bottom, wanted to go back.

I miss the old capital of Yingtianfu.

After all, it took more than 50 years from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the relocation of the capital by the fourth emperor, and Yingtian Prefecture has always been the capital.

They are all used to it.

But how to say...

Things have changed!

According to his previous arrangements, he let the vassal kings guard the border.

I have set up several lines of defense, which are as solid as a rock.

However, after the fourth prince became emperor and began to reduce the power of the princes.

This defense system was destroyed.

Under such circumstances, it was necessary to move the capital to Peking.

This method can be used to strengthen many important defenses in the north.

Prevent the enemy from being unable to descend and advance into the Central Plains.

Now, Zhu Gaochi and his men failed to see this and moved the capital back.

I'm afraid... in a few years, the northern enemies that were subdued by the fourth brother will move south again and invade the Central Plains...

As expected, I shouldn't have had too many expectations on this guy Zhu Gaochi.

He is indeed just a king guarding the city.

Moreover, after he became emperor, some of his behaviors were different from before.

Before, the fourth brother was there and he was the one who made the general decisions.

Now that he has become emperor, many of his weaknesses have been exposed...

When he was emperor, he could only defend himself and had no way to expand outward.

Even the status quo cannot be fully maintained.

For a person like Zhu Yuanzhang, seeing Zhu Gaochi make such a choice would naturally make him very unhappy...

……

"You and I are brothers, born of the same mother and brothers, and we are the closest relatives in this world.

Now, both my father and mother have passed away, and we are the only ones left.

We must support each other and keep going forward..."

In the newly appeared scene, the fat Zhu Gaochi reached out and held Zhu Gaoxu's hand, and spoke sincerely.

The style of a big brother is fully displayed.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded to show that he accepted the instruction.

Zhu Gaochi also rewarded Zhu Gaoxu with a lot of money and other things.

The two brothers reconciled...

The battle between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu that had lasted for many years finally came to an end.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased.

I think no matter what Zhu Gaochi does, at least he is still okay when it comes to treating his brothers.

Be affectionate and righteous, consider the overall situation and have a broad mind.

Unlike that bastard Zhu Yunwen, what a crap!

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to watch with great interest.

Although some of the things Zhu Gaochi did were not to his liking and made him want to beat someone up.

But no matter what, he is still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, when doing some things, it is also very humane.

Naturally, he still wanted to see more.

After two or three pictures flashed by.

A new picture emerges.

The location was still in the Qin'an Hall where Zhu Gaochi often handled government affairs.

Zhu Gaochi, who was half lying there, suddenly screamed, and the next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

There was a deep sense of unwillingness and reluctance, as well as some pain in his eyes.

Soon there was no sound...

【Simulator simulation ends.】

A mechanical sound was heard on the simulator.

Then, the entire simulator fell into darkness again.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned on the spot.

This...is gone?
Isn't this too fast? ! ! (End of this chapter)
