I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 101: What did I do wrong?

Zhu Di had no idea what his father was so angry about.

I have just responded to Tianfu. To say that he is messing around in the palace like before, regardless of whether he is naughty or not, the problem is that he simply doesn't have the time!

Also, when we were in Fengyang a year ago, if you really want to talk about it, my second and third brothers were much more excessive than me, right?

The education these brothers received from childhood to adulthood was that they would be the right-hand men of their eldest brother Zhu Biao in the future. Although their parents disciplined them, it was not as strict as that of their eldest brother. So a mischievous boy like Zhu Di was not so bad. His two elder brothers were good at eating, drinking and having fun, and were too lazy to go out to farm and train soldiers in Fengyang. But Zhu Di thought he had done everything.

He had always liked the military, and if he hadn't had to go out and serve as a fief, he would have preferred to be a general.

Regardless of whether this has anything to do with personal preference, in short, Zhu Di not only did not make any mistakes this year, but he did some good things. At least he was the only one who honestly demoted the prince to the right level.

I've been so obedient, why is my dad so crazy that he wants to beat me as soon as I get home?
Zhu Di looked at his elder brother and mother in confusion and helplessness.

In the past, if he did something in the palace that would get him beaten, his elder brother and his mother would stop him. Otherwise, he would be beaten the way his father would. I'm afraid he has never had an intact butt since he was a child.

Looking at his fourth brother's confused and innocent eyes, Zhu Biao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Should I tell the fourth brother that it’s because you will rebel against my no longer existing son decades later, so dad is so angry that he has to beat you up to make himself feel better?
This is too ridiculous!

Zhu Biao and his mother looked at each other, and neither of them could find a suitable reason. By the way, Empress Ma also gave her eldest son a look, indicating that Xu Miaoyun was also here at the moment, and many things would be even more difficult to say.

After all, even though his daughter-in-law was well educated by Xu Da and had always abided by the rules after marrying into the family, she was not his own child after all. After returning to Yingtian Prefecture, she would also have to go back to her parents' home to visit her relatives. If she said something in front of her that could not be spread, how could he shut her up?
Even if it is a child born in the family, such as Zhu Di, if Zhu Yunwen was born and raised according to the historical trajectory, then Zhu Di would be Zhu Yunwen's fourth uncle in the future. If an uncle can seize the throne from his nephew, can one's own family members be trusted?
While the mother and son were thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken action.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his daughter-in-law Xu Miaoyun, who was also confused but a little calmer than Zhu Di. At this time, he had no intention of venting his anger on her. He changed his expression very quickly and just said kindly to his daughter-in-law:
"Miaoyun, you've worked hard this past year. The fourth child is a rebellious child who has always refused to be disciplined. The fact that he didn't cause any trouble in Fengyang is probably entirely due to you helping us persuade him."

"Well, we know that you grew up in Yingtian Prefecture since you were a child. Although your father has not returned to Beijing, your mother and brothers and sisters are still at home. Why don't you go back to see them now, report your safety, and have a good chat. Later, we can ask the fourth brother to pick you up, how about that?"

Xu Miaoyun didn't know for a moment whether she should agree or not.

Judging from the way her father-in-law, the emperor, behaved just now, her husband would definitely be severely punished if she left. But if she didn't leave, after all, it was His Majesty who said so himself, even if it was in a negotiating tone, the emperor's words were not a joke, and it was still an imperial decree. If she didn't leave, it would be disobeying the emperor's order, and even if His Majesty didn't blame her, the blame would eventually fall on her husband or father.

Seeing his wife's hesitation, Zhu Di knew what she was worried about, so he gritted his teeth, patted his wife on the shoulder and comforted her:
"Just listen to your father and go back first. I'll pick you up."

"It's okay, don't worry!"

Since he said so, Xu Miaoyun could only nod.

She bowed to everyone in the hall and whispered:

"Then, I will withdraw first."

Soon, Xu Miaoyun followed the eunuch who came in to lead the way and left Kunning Palace.

Wait until she's completely gone.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally kicked all the palace servants out of the hall and closed the door.

He stood at the door of the hall which had suddenly slammed shut. Behind him, several rays of sunlight shone through the grille-like door panels, making it impossible to see his face clearly. However, there was an inexplicable murderous aura about him.

Zhu Di had a layer of white sweat on his back——

No, why is the evil spirit coming out? What the hell did I do? !

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Empress Ma said:

"Zhongba, if you really want to beat him up, I won't stop you, but you have to tell him what's going on, otherwise it will be a waste of his time to get beaten up."

"Besides, the children are all grown up. If you continue to beat them like before, I won't allow it, let alone the fourth child!"

Although Zhu Biao was her most beloved child and most of her efforts were devoted to him, he was born from her belly after all. It would not be good if her husband went too far, as a mother would always feel distressed.

Zhu Di had already started a family, married, and had no children. Moreover, he had no idea why he was being beaten. If Zhu Yuanzhang continued to beat him as he did before, as soon as the door was closed, it would only make him more rebellious.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao also advised:
"Dad, that's the truth. Look, Zhu Qizhen did behave himself after being beaten, but does he really think he did anything wrong? I don't think so. When Li Longji came out, he was still saying that he was not much different from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang."

"He is too far away from us, and he is too old to be taught. But you should have a good talk with the fourth child now. He is only seventeen. Is there anything he cannot teach?"

Zhu Di and his men were stunned by what he heard.

What Zhu Qizhen, what Li Longji?

How come he doesn't understand these things at all?

Zhu Yuanzhang also listened to what his wife and son said and thought it made sense, so he stopped taking off his boots and preparing to hit Zhu Di with the soles of his shoes. He looked at his face and spoke in a deep voice.

"Old Four, you don't understand why we're going to beat you today, right?"

"Okay, let's clear it up with you."

"I'm beating you because you're going to rebel in twenty years, do you understand?"

Zhu Di’s first reaction was whether his father was really crazy.

He stiffened his neck, not feeling guilty at all:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"I don't know where you heard this rumor from, or who told you your fortune, but as long as my elder brother is alive, I will never rebel!"

"I swear to heaven and earth that if I were to rebel against my elder brother, I, Zhu Di, would die a miserable death without a complete body!"

In Zhu Di's opinion, his father must have consulted a fortune teller, and someone must have said bad things about him, but these bad things were too ridiculous.

Since he was a child, he had never thought about becoming an emperor. It was true that his eldest brother was valued on weekdays. Any good things from his parents were sent to the East Palace in carts. His brothers saw and remembered all these things, but the problem was that no one thought it was wrong.

Zhu Biao was their eldest brother. Regardless of the Chinese tradition of establishing the eldest son as the heir, over the years, whenever their younger brothers and sisters got into trouble, it was always their eldest brother who cleaned up the mess for them, unless they could no longer handle it and then told their mother. Just because of this, they didn't get beaten hundreds of times.

What's more, the eldest brother is favored the most, so he does the most work!
Why was Wenhua Hall assigned to the eldest brother? Because the eldest brother had to review memorials for his father. Even though he was not the emperor, his work was not much different from that of the emperor. Zhu Di felt his scalp tingling when he thought about being trapped in a palace every day.

With a good big brother backing him up, he can live comfortably as a vassal king outside. Isn't it more comfortable than working hard every day?

He would only rebel when he had nothing better to do. Even if he really rebelled, could he really turn the tables?
My father had already prepared countless military generals for my eldest brother. Even ten Zhu Di combined could not defeat these people, not to mention that the vassal kings did not even have the tiger talisman for the border army.

Others in the hall: ...

Silence, silence is the Kunning Palace today.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Fourth brother, you did not plot against me, but you plotted against my son who died in my womb before I even met him.

How do I put this...it's so hard to say.

He pulled his father and whispered:

"If you talk like that, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you talk till dark."

"Dad, why don't you just tell him straight? The fourth child might be pulled in later anyway. Whether he says it or not, he will know it sooner or later."

Ever since the first time history was changed, when the First Emperor called Fusu to give him a lecture and personally taught him how to rebel if he encountered that kind of situation in history, everyone has understood that their time and space do not interfere with each other.

Even if Ying Zheng changed the name of Daqin to Daming, not a single word would be changed in the existing history books of Daming.

Therefore, according to the original historical trajectory, after Zhu Di succeeded in the Jingnan Campaign, he also became the Yongle Emperor, one of the serious emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, he might have been pulled into the tutoring class.

They also figured out the rules - only the emperors and generals of the Han Chinese unified dynasty could enter the tutoring class, and this concept of unification, in addition to territory, perhaps also requires a certain influence and a presence for more than a hundred years.

To put it bluntly, there have not been many unified dynasties of the Han people from ancient times to the present. In the two thousand years of history, apart from the Three Kingdoms, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which were hundreds of years of chaos, and apart from the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty which has not yet appeared, there are only five in total: Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Ming.

Apart from the Song Dynasty, which is nowhere to be seen at the moment, the rest of the dynasties had at least one emperor who had gone to a tutoring class. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, the probability of Zhu Di being sent to a tutoring class was not low.

The reason why Zhu Biao didn't stop his father from beating his younger brother now was because he always felt that the fourth child would go to a tutoring class in the future, and by then the fourth child in the real world would definitely be beaten. It would be better to beat him now to avoid any big problems later.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that his advice made sense.

So Zhu Yuanzhang endured it and pointed at Zhu Biao and said:
"Then tell him what's going on. We're too angry right now, let's take a break before we fight."

After saying this, he sat down next to Empress Ma and drank his tea by himself. He didn't care what his two sons had to say. He just knew that Zhu Biao knew what to do.

Zhu Biao: ...In short, you just have to fight?

Zhu Biao nodded helplessly, pulled his brother, who still looked confused and ignorant, to a corner of Kunning Palace, and muttered to himself for a long time.

As Zhu Di listened, his mouth slowly opened wider and wider, and he only stopped when he was so shocked that his jaw almost dislocated.

After listening to the elder brother's story, his first reaction was:
"Then didn't you arrest Song Shen for questioning? Father, wouldn't you be suspicious of this kind of thing?"

Zhu Biao really wanted to grab his brother's ear and ask him if he had figured out the situation.

Now it is Zhu Di who is suspected! Why does his father suspect Song Shen, a blind man in the real world!
Regardless of the fact that Song Shen is now completely under the surveillance of the Yiluansi, even if he is not under surveillance, the Imperial Hospital has clearly stated that Song Shen is really blind and he cannot cause any major trouble no matter what.

Moreover, Song Shen has already taken out potatoes, and he may also take out corn and sweet potatoes in the future. These high-yield crops can be used as food or vegetables. In the eyes of their father, they are probably more important than all his sons (except Zhu Biao) combined.

In this situation, Zhu Di is still worrying about whether to arrest Song Shen? He should worry about his own butt first!

Zhu Biao said helplessly:
"...Don't worry about Song Shen. I think you should focus on how to leave Kunning Palace in a dignified manner after you get beaten up."

Zhu Di: !!!
Yup!

According to this, according to the original history, he really rebelled. Not only did he fight all the way from Yan to Yingtian, he also seized the throne from his own nephew!

A blind man with great wisdom and abilities, and a son who will really rebel in the future... You can imagine what the father will choose by looking at his butt that is about to be spanked.

Zhu Di grabbed his elder brother's sleeve and almost cried:

"What should I do now, big brother? Can't you stop father?"

Zhu Biao sighed deeply.

Why are you crying now? What were you doing just now? Suspicious about Song Shen?

He comforted:

"Since you have been crowned emperor in history, you will most likely enter that system space in the future. That's what I advised Dad just now."

"When you really go in, he will be angry when he sees you. Even if you don't go in, I heard Mr. Song say that it seems that there has not been a single decent emperor since the Ming Dynasty. Some of them acted recklessly, or died early because they did not have enough control over the court. Among them, the most decent-looking one was a king who lost his country. They are all your descendants."

"Think about it yourself. Is it better to get beaten now, or to wait until those people behind you come out and get beaten every day?"

Zhu Di was really about to cry out loud:

"But...but if I get beaten now, won't he beat me up when he sees those unfilial descendants in the future?"

Zhu Biao didn't know what to say for a moment.

It seems, it seems that what Lao Si said is not wrong...

Given my father's temper of venting his anger on others, future emperors would probably beat them up one by one, and after beating them up, they would have to beat Zhu Di up when they returned to the real world to vent their anger.

Zhu Biao was in a dilemma for a long time. He really couldn't think of a solution, so he secretly pointed to another seat at the top:
"How about you go and beg your mother?"

The two brothers looked at Queen Ma at the same time.

Queen Ma picked up the tea bowl, covered her mouth and nose with it, and also covered her eyes at the same time.

Don't look at her.

Don't look at her!
Normally, she could still persuade her husband to stop having such a temper, but when it came to a situation like this where the uncle and nephew were fighting for the throne and even involved rebellion, there was nothing she could do to stop them!
