Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 33 Emperor Taizong Wen, Emperor Chengzu Wu

[Please select the object to be simulated. 】

Simulation object one: Zhu Qizhen
  Identity: [Emperor’s eldest grandson] [Prince] [Call the emperor] [God of war]

Simulation object two: Zhu Qiyu

Identity: [Prince] [Emperor]

Simulation object three: Zhu Youyu

Identity: [Prince] [Prince Regent]

Looking at the three options in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chin and began to think.

Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu, in terms of seniority, should they be the great-grandsons of the fourth generation?

Seeing Zhu Qizhen's [God of War] status, Lao Zhu was quite satisfied.

It seems that the descendants of Laosi's lineage still inherited the ability of King Zhu Di of Yan to conquer and fight. Look, this has been passed down to the great-grandson, and he is actually a god of war.

But Lao Zhu really didn’t understand the identity of Zhu Qizhen [called the Son of Heaven]. What does this mean?
  He stopped thinking about it and turned to look at the last option, "Zhu Youyu".

If he remembered correctly, this should be Lao Wu's son. But the title of the regent, the fifth son, surprised Lao Zhu, and he was a little confused.

He hesitated again and again and chose to imitate Zhu Youyu.

[In the 29th year of Hongwu, you were born. Your name was Zhu Youyu. Your biological father was King Wu Zhu Ji, and your biological mother was Princess Xu of Wu. After your fourth uncle Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, you were granted the title of Prince of Zhongli County. 】

[From this moment on, you are destined to become the most prominent powerful official in the Ming Dynasty. 】

[Your father was the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty in the Yongle Dynasty, who also held important positions such as the Six Ministers, the Inspectorate, and the Governor's Office. Your mother is the youngest daughter of Xu Da, King of Zhongshan. Your uncle is the Yongle Emperor of the current dynasty. Your aunt is the current Queen, your cousin is the prince...]

[You can see your dignity just from the title of Zhongli County Prince. Zhongli Kingdom is in Zhou Dynasty, Zhongli County is in Qin Dynasty, and Haozhou Prefecture is in Yuan Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had three major capitals: Shuntian in the north, Jinling in the south, and Fengyang in the middle. Fengyang is now Zhongli. 】

[From the perspective of etiquette, your title is obviously a bit over the top, but your father is too dazzling, so no one cares whether your title is against etiquette. 】

[And you have lived up to everyone’s expectations of you. 】

[Your brother Zhu Youjin has always been taciturn. He often locks himself in his study and studies hard. This reading means he cannot leave the house for several months. 】

[The children of Prince Wu's family have long been in charge of the family. You have been by your father's side since you were a child, watching your father handle government affairs and accepting your father's guidance. Day after day, year after year, more than ten years have passed, and you have become a mature and shrewd politician. Even your father praises you for your outstanding talent and steady work. 】

[While assisting your father in handling government affairs, you met a good friend - Prince Zhu Gaochi. 】

[His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is His Majesty’s eldest son, but he doesn’t seem to be favored. His Majesty prefers his second son Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han, to the prince. 】

[His Royal Highness the King of Han was brave and good at fighting. During the time of crisis, he followed His Majesty and made great military exploits. His Majesty even said to him more than once: "My son is often sick, so you should encourage him."]

Seeing this, Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel happy.

Your son is often sick, so you should encourage him.

These words sound like piecing a pie in the face. This guy, Lao Si, is probably trying to deceive the King of Han.

[As for the matter of establishing the crown prince, your father has not been involved. To him, it does not matter who becomes the emperor. As long as the Zhu family is the emperor, the Wu family will always be the most prominent and noble family. 】

[But you are different from your father. You are closer to the Crown Prince than to His Royal Highness the King of Han. ]    [Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has asked the prince to follow King Wu to learn how to handle government affairs, and this has also allowed you, who is serving your father, to get along with the prince all the time. The two of you have very compatible personalities and your relationship has become increasingly harmonious. 】

[In the 21st year of Yongle, my father, who was over sixty years old, relieved his heavy burden and promoted a series of officials. During his reign, he also served as the minister of the six departments. It was only at this time that the ministers of the six departments were able to take office. 】

[The prince was finally promoted to the important task of supervising the country, and you were ordered to assist the prince. 】

[Your eldest brother was transferred to Duogan Dusi in the west, which also made the world understand that from now on, the one who will stay in the capital to inherit the mantle of the current King of Wu is you, Zhu Youyu. 】

[After your father left office, although he still controlled the main operation of the court and state affairs still needed to be reported to him, you and Prince Zhu Gaochi have gradually begun to take over the power of the country and become a new generation of "Yan-Wu" combination. 】

[Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Since I came to power, my understanding of the imperial court has become clearer. Uncle Wu has done all the things for more than ten generations of monarchs and ministers by himself. When future generations of monarchs succeed to the throne, I am afraid they really don't know what they can do. Just lie down and snore on the golden mountain left by King Wu, and you can become a wise king."]

[In the 22nd year of Yongle, His Majesty died on his way back to Yumuchuan. King Wu committed suicide and was buried. 】

[Before the two brothers died, they ordered Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi to inherit the throne; Wu Shizi Zhu Youjin became the King of Wu, in charge of Duogan Dusi, Uszang and other western affairs, and was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict; ]

[As the king of Zhongli County, you were granted the title of King of Zhou and ascended to the throne of Grand Master in accordance with the imperial edict. 】

In Lao Zhu's opinion, he has a very high opinion of this duo.

One is the eldest son of the fourth family and the emperor in future generations.

The other, the second son of the Lao Wu family, inherited the mantle of King Wu.

If nothing else happens, these two people will become replicas of the "Yan Wu Combination". They may not be as brilliant as their parents, but they are destined not to be mediocre.

Lao Zhu was quite satisfied with this.

He was full of expectations for these two people.

[The first thing you did after taking power was to transfer your father's old troops to the capital to defend the capital. Then he appointed several important generals who accompanied him on the expedition, led his troops three thousand miles back to China, and transferred them to Shandong. 】

[Although King Zhu Gaoxu of Han had already ruled Shandong, he never gave up his pursuit of the throne. The death of the emperor and King Wu at the same time was a perfect opportunity. Ming Dynasty was at its weakest at this moment. He organized his troops and was ready to rebel at any time. 】

[However, what he was waiting for was not an opportunity, but the 100,000 elite troops you sent for the Northern Expedition, led by the general Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, who kept a tight eye on the King of Han in Shandong. 】

[At this time, you are drinking tea leisurely in the Wenhua Hall, playing chess with Yang Rong, a cabinet minister, twisting a chess piece between your fingertips, and casually landing on the chessboard to achieve a decisive victory. 】

[Your deployment was exquisite, and you suppressed the King of Han to death. On the other hand, you appeased the former emperor's old ministers and created a comfortable environment for the prince to succeed to the throne. 】

[With your help, Prince Zhu Gaochi successfully inherited the throne, with the reign name Hongxi. 】

[The new emperor ascended the throne and buried the former emperor's body in the Changling Tomb of Tianshou Mountain. He was buried together with King Wu Zhu. He gave the late emperor the posthumous title of "Emperor of Pure Benevolence and Xiaowen who initiated the Dao, Gao Ming, Guang Yun, Holy Martial Arts, Divine Powers, Pure Benevolence and Xiaowen". His temple name was Taizong, and later generations called him "Taizong." Emperor Wen". 】

[According to the late emperor's edict, Wu King Zhu Ji should also be revered as the emperor after his death, so he was given the posthumous title of "Emperor Wu", the temple name was Chengzu, and later generations were called "Chengzu Emperor Wu". 】

[On August 15, the 22nd year of Yongle, Zhu Gaochi officially ascended the throne, issued an amnesty order, and designated the following year as the first year of Hongxi. I order you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Grand Scholar of the Zhongji Palace. The British Duke Zhang Fu is in charge of the Central Military Command, Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, is in charge of the Left Army Command, and Anyuan Hou Liu Sheng is in charge of the Right Army...]

[At this time, everyone thinks that the new emperor will become the second Emperor Taizong Wenhuang Zhu Di, and you will also become the second Emperor Chengzu Wu Huang Zhudi. 】

[But no one expected that in less than ten months after taking the throne, the new emperor would be dying and lying on the dragon bed. 】
