I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 20 We're going to kill the fourth one!

There was a "puff" sound.

In the silent classroom, such an uncontrollable laugh made everyone look towards the source of the sound.

It was the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

Not only did everyone have strange expressions, Ying Zheng also found it strange because he usually didn't like to smile.

After all, since he ascended the throne at a young age, he knew that he carried the responsibility of carrying on the legacy of the six generations. He could not play like an ordinary child, and he had to be ten or a hundred times more stable than his peers. Only in this way could he gain the respect and fear of the officials and people of the Qin Dynasty.

After keeping a stern face for so many years, Ying Zheng couldn’t remember the last time he laughed - oh, it seemed that the last time was also because of Zhu Yuanzhang?

Today he really couldn't help himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang is always talking nonsense. I laugh at his jokes every time I see them, and I always find something new every time!

"Student Ying Zheng, you laughed a little too loudly. Be more careful next time."

Seeing that Old Zhu had a very unpleasant expression, Song Shen was afraid that he would start fighting with Zulong again, so he pretended to persuade him.

Ying Zheng was obviously much more relaxed than before. He was not angry at Song Shen for daring to teach him a lesson. Instead, he nodded with a smile and said:

"I understand, sir."

After another period of embarrassment.

Zhu Yuanzhang took many deep breaths before he calmed down.

When he learned the place name "Beijing" just now, even though he had never heard of it before, he still sensitively sensed the problem.

Since this place is followed by the word "Jing", it means that this place must have been the capital of a dynasty in the future.

No matter where it is, it must be the capital of the future. Zhu Yuanzhang was very concerned about the dynasty after him and always wanted to find out more about it. Now, as long as he could understand the location of the capital, he might be able to get some clues.

But he never expected that this so-called Beijing city would be decided by his own fourth son!

The thing is, this thing makes a lot of sense.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already considered moving the capital, but he had never found a suitable opportunity to do it. After all, it was a major project with complicated procedures and huge manpower and material resources required.

The fourth brother’s fief was in Yan, and his title was also King of Yan.

If the Fourth Prince really was going to rebel in a few decades as Song Shen said, then it would be normal for him to move the capital to Beiping after he seized the throne, because Beiping had already served as the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial city and palace were still there, and it was the Fourth Prince's base camp, so it was natural for him to choose there.

But... but!
"Sir, why would our fourth son rebel? He doesn't seem like that kind of person. He has no future in life. He just wants to lead troops to fight. He even told Biaoer that when his eldest brother takes power in the future, he will go to the north and kill all those barbarians... Why would he rebel? Is there something wrong here?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rehearsed his thoughts many times in his mind, but finally blurted out his true feelings.

Even though what Song Shen said was reasonable and logical and sounded flawless, the biggest flaw lay in Zhu Di himself.

The fourth brother only knows how to play every day. When he makes a mess, he comes to Zhu Biao to clean up the mess. His mind is full of leading troops to fight, and he even dares to conceal his identity and join the army. Can he have the ability to rebel and become the emperor? Bullshit!

Song Shen's mouth twitched:
"Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang, if the person who succeeded you was Zhu Biao, I think Zhu Di would not dare and would not do such a thing."

"But don't forget what I told you last time. Zhu Biao will die young. And I can tell you very clearly that Zhu Biao in history died in the 25th year of Hongwu, and you died in the 31st year of Hongwu. He died six years earlier than you."

"You think Zhu Di is not good, that's only because you are comparing him with Zhu Biao. In fact, in the two hundred years since the Ming Dynasty, there have been very few emperors whose achievements can match Zhu Di's!"

"As long as the next emperor is not Zhu Biao, no one will be truly convinced. So why can't Zhu Di rebel?" "The world is ruled by the capable. You yourself can go from a beggar to the Hongwu Emperor, so why can't he, the Prince of Yan, turn the table and become the Yongle Emperor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a few seconds.

It seems, as if... there is some truth to it?

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was not the kind of person who could be easily manipulated by PUA. He quickly recovered from the state of being questioned and immediately asked:
"So who did we pass the throne to in the end?"

The words fell to the ground.

Ding-dong-

The empty echo of the bell for the end of get out of class came from the lecture hall.

This class is over.

Song Shen let out a long sigh and knocked on the table:
"That's all for today's class. I don't have the habit of staying late. If you have any questions, I'll leave them for the next class."

"get out of class is over!"

Without any hesitation, he turned and left the podium and entered the door of his so-called office which was actually a rest area.

As Song Shen announced the end of get out of class.

The four students felt a strong sense of dizziness in their minds at the same time, and then their eyes blurred and the scene suddenly changed.

…………

Ming Dynasty, the tenth year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's eyes blurred and they returned to the Kunning Palace where they were before.

That’s right, the father and son spent a long time choosing in advance where to wait to be pulled into the space. In the end, they both decided to wait in Queen Ma’s Kunning Palace.

The reason why it is not in Wuying Hall, Wenhua Hall, East Palace or Qianqing Palace is very simple.

The emperor and the crown prince might encounter problems that need to be dealt with at any time, and if they stayed in their own palaces, the court officials and palace servants would not be able to find them, and there would definitely be a big chaos.

This problem would not occur in Kunning Palace, because it was the queen's bedroom. It was natural for the two of them to stay in their wife/mother's palace. If someone came to look for them, the queen had enough authority to have people wait outside. As long as they made it clear to Queen Ma, everything would be fine.

"Zhongba, Biaoer, you are finally back!"

Queen Ma was so nervous that she paced back and forth in the empty hall. Only when she saw her husband and son returned safely did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and go forward.

She pulled the two of them up and down, fearing that they might get hurt:
"Now can you tell me what's going on? Why do you two disappear at noon every day?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not have time to answer his wife's question. He turned to Zhu Biao angrily and said:
"Biao'er, go and convey our order. Tell the fourth brother to get back from his fiefdom as soon as possible!"

Zhu Biao immediately understood what his father was going to do, and hesitantly pleaded:

"Dad, the teacher just said that if I were the one to take the throne, my fourth brother wouldn't be like this... maybe there's a misunderstanding here, why don't we wait until tomorrow to find out, and then it won't be too late to make a decision?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't begged for mercy, but once he did, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more furious!
He slapped the table hard and yelled:

"No matter what misunderstandings there are, it's not a rebellion no matter who he rebels against. The crown prince we personally selected, no matter who he is, has no reason for him, a vassal king, to rebel. Let him get back here, and we'll beat him to death!"
