The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 500 Zhu Biao: The Unshakable Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty

On the canopy.

Almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and eyebrows slanting into the temples.

He was wearing a crimson dragon robe, but he did not look at all arrogant.

He held a scroll in his hand.

Smiling gently.

Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao
……

[Zhu Biao: The Unshakable Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che and Wei Zifu looked up at the sky together.

How did the future become like that?
“Time will change a person.”

……

[He was Zhu Yuanzhang's first son. Zhu Yuanzhang was already 28 years old at that time.]

【In that era, this age was considered quite late to have a child.】

So he was particularly fond of this child.

[It can be said that Zhu Biao was trained as a successor since he was born. ]

[When Zhu Yuanzhang was the Grand Marshal, Zhu Biao was the Junior Marshal. ]

【When Zhu Yuanzhang was named King of Wu, Zhu Biao was the crown prince. 】

【When Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, Zhu Biao became the legitimate crown prince. 】

……

On the canopy.

Zhu Biao, who was tall, stood in the first place.

Behind them was a group of civil officials and military generals lined up in teams.

Finally, the tall Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at everyone.

He looked at his son in front of him with admiration in his eyes.

……

[After establishing the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more attentive in training Zhu Biao]

[He was born in a poor family and had little education, but he also knew that the heir to a dynasty must have a particularly high level of cultural accomplishment]

[Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang equipped Zhu Biao with the most powerful teaching staff in the Ming Dynasty]

[The great Confucian scholars of the time, such as Song Lian, were all teachers of Zhu Biao]

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng lowered his eyes slightly.

Fusu...

He also gave Fusu the best education, but how did he treat me?

How did he treat himself and the Qin Dynasty?

He glanced at the minister in front of him.

Feng Quji, Meng Tian, ​​Xiao He...Liu Bang.

These should be enough for his team, right?

and also……

Ying Zheng thought of Li Si, who was working as a farmer outside the city.

……

Big man.

"Ugh……"

"I wonder if letting Ying'er be the crown prince is the safest decision."

Liu Bang folded his hands behind his head.

He leaned against the parapet of the courtyard and sighed melancholy.

“But he couldn’t get up.”

"You know how difficult it is to deal with the Lu family, otherwise would you agree to invite the Four Elders of Shangshan?"

"You ran away a long time ago!"

"No, you didn't even run away!"

Zhang Liang, who was sitting cross-legged on the side, slowly picked up the teapot from the small stove.

Poured two glasses.

Liu Bang didn't touch the cup of tea and took a deep breath.

"Since the future is clear, I will do my best according to the future."

"I'll take care of Bo Ji's case."

"Zifang will have to take more care of E'ou."

Zhang Liang's face was calm, with no sadness or joy, and he said:

"How long do you want to escape to, Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty knows what the Queen wants."

Liu Bang’s swinging feet paused.

"This is the world of the Liu family..."

Zhang Liang nodded.

"Did His Majesty say that?"

Liu Bang sat up and looked at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang turned his head and looked at him calmly.

"Your Majesty, did you say that?"

……

[However, if a prince wants to secure his position, he must have his own team to facilitate future succession]

[Looking back at the founding period of dynasties, the transfer of power is definitely the most dangerous moment. ]

[This is the transitional stage from the founding emperor of the country with military merit to the maintaining emperor of civil governance.]

[Any slight negligence will bring huge risks to the dynasty. ]

[This period in history is often accompanied by bloodshed.]

[For example, the Xuanwu Gate Incident of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the axe sound and candlelight of Emperor Taizong of Song, etc. ]

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
"It's really famous."

Li Yuan curled up into a ball, tightened the quilt around him, and looked at someone with sidelong glances.

"They've even been compared to Zhao Kuangyi."

"Yes, Du Taizong..."

"Right, Bishamon."

Li Jiancheng said, I don’t want to get involved in these things anymore.

Li Shimin looked at it and said with a smile:
"Aye, do you want to go boating?"

Li Yuan's face suddenly darkened. ...

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin sat on the stone pier with his horse and sword in hand.

He glanced at Zhao Kuangyi standing aside.

The sound of an axe and the shadow of a candle?

Not anymore.

……

[It was important for Zhu Biao to be able to control the situation, so Zhu Yuanzhang decided to help him.]

[Since ancient times, the crown prince has had his own team, commonly known as the Eastern Palace, which is simply a small court]

[For example, the imperial court had Shao Shi, Shao Bao, and Shao Fu, commonly known as the "Three Orphans"]

[The Crown Prince’s Eastern Palace also has these officials, but the word “Crown Prince” is added in front of their names to indicate that it is the Crown Prince’s office.]

[In theory, these officials of the Eastern Palace are all the prince's confidants. The court officials and the Eastern Palace officials should be two different groups of people.]

[However, under Zhu Yuanzhang's care, Zhu Biao's East Palace officials were directly served by the founding veterans of the Ming Dynasty, and no separate positions were appointed.]

[In other words, if Zhu Yuanzhang died suddenly someday, Zhu Biao would take over seamlessly.]

……

Datang.

“This really shows trust.”

Li Shimin saw through Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts at a glance.

In this way, he could feel how sad the prince would be after losing Old Zhu suddenly.

The purpose of doing this was actually to make Zhu Biao familiar with the personalities of these veteran heroes in advance and to cultivate mutual understanding.

"As the saying goes, a new emperor chooses new ministers."

"After a change of power, a large number of the previous emperor's old ministers would often be purged from the court."

"While this will help the new emperor establish his prestige, it will also lead to a period of idle government affairs."

"Zhu Yuanzhang did this because he wanted to make these veterans and meritorious officials his confidants."

"When Zhu Biao succeeds to the throne, he can directly employ these people and save the trouble."

"Moreover, having veteran meritorious officials concurrently serve in the Eastern Palace can also help cultivate Zhu Biao's ability to govern, killing two birds with one stone."

In fact, he had this idea too.

The decision to let Gao Ming govern the country was based on this.

But why would the future turn out like that?
……

【At the same time, in order to prevent Zhu Biao from being in a rush when the time comes. 】

【Zhu Yuanzhang again let Zhu Biao handle state affairs alone. 】

[After Zhu Biao became proficient, he ordered that all government affairs in the court must be reported to the crown prince first, and only after his review would they be passed on to the emperor, forming a de facto system of supervising the country.]

[As for the absolute trust of the emperor in the crown prince, throughout the entire history of China, there is no other pair of emperors and crown princes that are so harmonious. ]

……

Ming dynasty.

Old Zhu was both sad and proud.

"My Biaoer is the one that everyone expects..."

He held Zhu Biao's hand and smiled.

Then he cursed again.

"What a thief!"

……

On the canopy.

Zhu Yuanzhang threw a thorn stick on the ground.

Then sit on the stool.

"Biao'er, pick him up."

Zhu Biao, who was standing in front of him, was stunned.

Wouldn't this make my hands covered in blood?
Shake his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted:
"We asked you to hold onto the thorns because you knew they had thorns and you were afraid you might hurt your hands."

"Then if you remove the thorns, everything will be fine, right?"

"We killed Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and other powerful officials just to remove the thorns for you."

"Do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a look of satisfaction on his face.

Is this straightforward and honest enough?
A good father should understand the love he has for his son, right?

Zhu Biao looked at the brambles on the ground, raised his head and said seriously:
"There are rulers like Yao and Shun above, and people like Yao and Shun below."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then stood up, stretched his arms, and bent over...

He picked up his shoes and threw them at Zhu Biao.

But Zhu Biao turned and ran away the moment Zhu Bend down.

Old Zhu followed closely behind, waving his shoes and shouting angrily:

"You bastard! Stop right there!"

"Who are you calling Jie and Zhou?"

"stop!"

Under the setting sun.

The two kings and their ministers were wearing the most noble robes in the world.

Doing the most common things between fathers and sons in the world.

The father beats his son.

……

【Zhu Biao did not disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations. 】

[Although Zhu Biao was easy-going and his governing philosophy was relatively moderate, he was not as decisive and ruthless as his father]

[He was once chased around the house by Zhu Yuanzhang holding a shoe because of a disagreement in ideology.]

【However, his ability to govern the country was still recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang. 】

[It can be said that Zhu Biao was a perfect heir both in public and in private. ]

[As the eldest son, he was made the crown prince since he was young, trusted by his father, has strong personal abilities, and is trusted by all civil and military officials]

[As long as he is alive, his position as crown prince will never be shaken.]

【And the transfer of power in the Ming Dynasty will also take place in a stable environment. 】

[In August 1391, he sent Zhu Biao to inspect Shaanxi and planned to move the capital to Chang'an.]

[Zhu Biao fell ill shortly after returning to Beijing from his inspection tour. During his illness, he wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang about planning to build the capital.]

[On April 1392, , Zhu Biao died of illness at the age of .]

[It is no exaggeration.]

[Zhu Yuanzhang's sky collapsed, and the Ming Dynasty's sky also collapsed]

[The unshakable position of the crown prince has been moved. 】
