Chapter 501: Son or grandson? That is the question

On the canopy.

Paper banners were flying and funeral music was playing.

An old man with white hair and beard was sitting on a chair.

With his back bent, he looked out of the palace gate.

The sky is vast and desolate.

In a trance,
He saw a big man and a woman coming hand in hand.

The woman was wiping the forehead of the big man, with a little child sitting on his neck.

The boy lay on the big man's head, hugged his head and laughed.

The old man couldn't help but smile.

next moment.

The man, wearing the imperial robes and crown, sat on the emperor's throne, and the woman, wearing the queen's clothes, sat beside him.

Neizan led the young man into the palace through the gate and knelt before the throne.

The man stood up and walked to the young man, slowly handing the golden book and seal to him.

The boy raised his head, and the man patted his shoulder and laughed out loud.

The woman looked at the father and son and smiled softly.

The old man stared at it in a daze, his lips tightly pursed.

The nervous young man sat next to the man for the first time to handle government affairs. The man teased...

The man with gray hair on his temples and the tall and handsome young man stood in the mourning hall, holding their heads and crying...

The old man swung his sword to cut the thorn stick, and the prince, who had grown up, kept talking back, and the old man chased and beat him...

At last.

It's the child's sallow face.

His lips moved as he spoke his last words to the weeping old man with difficulty...

"Biao'er..."

The old man's voice trembled as he reached out to grab the child who was dying in hallucination.

Got it empty.

The illusion before my eyes disappeared instantly.

Only a few swallows were flying and playing outside the palace gate.

The sound of mournful music came to my ears from far away.

The old man covered his face with his hands and his shoulders twitched.

The guards in mourning clothes stood far away.

Accompanying an elderly person who is in deep grief.

……

{Everyone says that Lao Zhu's life is a happy story. Yes, it is a story of tormenting the protagonist.}
{He suffered great persecution at the hands of the Yuan court when he was young, lost his father and mother, and became a beggar monk all alone.}
{It was not until he joined the rebel army that he met his lifelong lover, Empress Ma, and at the age of 28, he had his favorite son, Zhu Biao.}
{He defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, established the Ming Dynasty, and had everything he wanted. He was finally no longer alone.}
{Then, bang, Empress Ma died. Just as she watched her son Zhu Biao gain recognition from the ministers, her son died again.}
{After many twists and turns in his old age, he became a lonely man again.}
……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang held the hands of Empress Ma and Zhu Biao tightly.

He said nothing, just held it tightly.

Empress Ma and Zhu Biao also accompanied quietly.

But all three may have forgotten one thing.

There were other people in the palace at this time.

He also loves his mother and elder brother...

"Mom! Don't die! What if Dad beats me if you die, big brother?"

Old Zhu stood up suddenly!

"Zhu Di!!!"

Empress Ma closed her eyes helplessly, and Zhu Biao took a deep breath.

……

[When Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang was already 65 years old, a very old man at that time]

[The loss of his son in old age was undoubtedly a huge blow to Zhu Yuanzhang]

[But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have time to grieve over the death of his younger brother.]

[He was faced with the dire situation of a lack of future successors to the Ming Dynasty, which had only been established for 20 years]

[The government and the opposition are in turmoil, and people are in panic. He must handle this problem well]

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di's face suddenly looked ugly.

Zhu Zhanji on the other side didn't understand what was going on, but the fat prince had already retracted his head.

As far as he knows, his father has made many revisions to the "Ming Taizu Shilu"
……

[At that time, there were two voices in the court, one supporting the prince, the other supporting the crown prince]

【Zhu Yuanzhang was in a dilemma.】

[Let's establish an heir emperor. He is worried that after his death, his successor will not be able to control these local vassal kings. ]

[This concern is reasonable. After all, the kings who were enfeoffed in various places at that time could be said to have committed all kinds of crimes in their fiefdoms.]

[Relying on his father being the emperor, he does all kinds of bad things]

[Like Dai Wang Zhu Gui, who did all kinds of bad things, too numerous to mention. ]

[Prince Zhu Yu of Qi forcibly abducted women from the common people into his palace, and beat to death any palace maids he disliked, burned them to ashes and threw them out.]

[Tan Wang Zhu Zi would beat and kill his own officials at any time.] [After Lu Wang Zhu Tan died, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the posthumous title "Huang", which shows how bad this prince was during his lifetime.]

[These are all princes who have no army at all. ]

[If Zhu Chong, the Prince of Qin, Zhu Gang, the Prince of Jin, and Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, who hold a large number of troops, suddenly rebel after his death, how should he deal with it? ]

……

{The most popular prince in history, the one least suspected by the emperor, he was the most popular prince in the court. All these were no problem. He was gone just like that.}
{It's a pity for Zhu Biao. He was one of the most orthodox emperors in history, and his emotions were also one of the best.}
{In the history of the crown prince governing the country, who else could and dared to do this? It's such a pity.}
{Zhu Biao was definitely ill from overwork. In the beginning, he had Li Shanchang and others to help him, but after the prime minister was gone, everything fell to him.}
{He does more than Lao Zhu.}
……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry when he was stopped by Zhu Biao that he felt like two Buddhas were born and ascended to heaven!
"What kind of a cowardly bastard did we give birth to! Bullying the people and rebelling?!"

"Besides Biao'er, is there anyone normal?"

Little Pig Di, hiding in Queen Ma's arms, secretly looked at the sky.

rebel?

Unless I'm crazy!
"Every day I get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog."

“…Who wants to rebel?”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at little Zhu Di and said angrily:
"What did you say!"

Young Zhu Di felt that with the "two great protectors" here, the "devil king" could not do anything to him.

He raised his head and said loudly:
"Big brother is exhausted to death by you!"

"Get up before dawn every day!"

"Stay in the house all day!"

"This is still with the help of the Prime Minister!"

"The heavens have said it!"

"After the Prime Minister is gone, everything will have to be taken over by my eldest brother before I hand it over to you!"

"Dad! Have you ever thought about whether my brother can hold on?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to rush over and beat him.

Little Zhu Di felt that such a simple question should not be made so complicated, and said loudly:

"Dad! If you think big brother can't die from exhaustion, then use all your strength!"

"But I'm so tired! I wonder where you can cry!"

Lao Zhu's body suddenly stiffened.

……

[On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that his successor might disregard family ties and kill these uncles for the throne.]

【This is also something Zhu Yuanzhang could not accept.】

【And Zhu Yuanzhang's concerns did not arise only after Zhu Biao's death. 】

[In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was already worried about this problem when Zhu Biao was still alive. ]

[When Zhu Biao was still the crown prince, Zhu Yuanzhang often wrote letters to his sons who were appointed as princes in various regions across the country to express his affection for them.]

[But in his family letters he reminded his sons to be careful.]

[The reason why they are not punished for their misdeeds is that their father is backing them up]

[If after I die, my elder brother Zhu Biao takes over the throne, and you still refuse to change your ways, you will bear the consequences.]

……

Ji Han.

"To spoil a child is like to kill him."

Liu Bei knew that Zhu Yuanzhang loved his son, but this was so unfair to the people.

Zhuge Liang lamented:
"He is a capable ruler, but not a wise ruler."

……

Western Jin Dynasty·Era of Emperor Wu
Sima Yan scratched his hips.

"Still dividing it?"

Didn’t the explosion of Jin State sound loud enough?
Look who is still trying to divide the country.

"Oh~"

Sima Yan suddenly realized.

"No wonder there is no job field..."

"Don't say that. Being a minister is not good, but being a son is good."

……

Eastern Jin Dynasty and Emperor Ming Dynasty
Sima Shao looked at the behavior of the Zhu family princes.

“It’s hard not to.”

What kind of cancer is this?

Moreover, he is a vassal king!

Guaranteed!
……

Ming Dynasty - Jianwen Period
Zhu Yunwen's expression was a little unnatural.

……

Ming Dynasty and Xuande period
Zhu Zhanji felt that he was different from Emperor Jianwen...

He took the initiative, and I was forced!

They are incomparable!
