Chapter Fourteen

Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard for his eldest son and gathered an extremely luxurious East Palace camp for him.

Song Lian, the leader of the East Zhejiang School, the nominal first person in Confucianism, was his teacher. Li Shanchang, the first nobleman in Huaixi, and the six founding kings all held positions in the East Palace. King Chang Yuchun of Kaiping was his father-in-law.

It seems that his father-in-law died young, but he was one of the top three figures among the military commanders.

Xu Da was the first contributor to the founding of the Ming Dynasty and ranked first among the "Six Kings" of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

But the most important battles in his life were all fought together by Chang Yuchun.

The two have been together since they met each other fifteen years ago.

From the beginning of the battle against Chen Youliang, the two of them took charge of each other, with one commanding and the other charging. From then on, this golden pair was born.

Many tough battles, whether it was Zhang Shicheng or the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition, were fought by these two people together. It can be said that Xu is not separated from Chang, and Chang is not separated from Xu.

Both Xu and Chang died early, and Chang Yuchun died of armor-removing wind, which is also known as lumbar dorsal myofasciitis. Many knights in medieval Europe died of this disease.

But Xu Da died of a terminal illness, dorsal carbuncle, which is an acute suppurative disease between the skin and flesh of the back. Fan Zeng, Meng Haoran, and Zongze all died of back carbuncle, and the old wild boar Pinurhachi also died of back carbuncle.

carbuncle

These two diseases were terminal diseases in ancient times, and if you got them, you would be dead.

As for the folk legend that Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Da a roast goose, it is true, but Xu Da was about to die at that time, so Zhu Yuanzhang sent his cook Xu Xingzu to make Xu Da’s favorite roast goose for him.

Let him finish his last meal so that he can go on the road and be a starved man. As for the claim that eating roast goose will cause back carbuncle, this is false.

The six founding kings, the nobles of Huaixi, and the literati from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were all under Zhu Biao's crown prince. As a result, the six founding kings all died early, and the surviving king of Dongou, Tang He, was old and careless. He died in the 22nd year of Hongwu.

I will return to my hometown in Fengyang next year.

Song Lian Hongwu, the first Confucian scholar in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, retired and returned to his hometown ten years ago, and the influence in eastern Zhejiang declined from Zhu Biao's side.

And Hu Weiyong, a fellow recommended by Li Shanchang, was completely killed because he and Zhu Yuanzhang had a dispute over the power of the monarch over the power of the prime minister. Also dead together were the Huaixi nobles headed by Li Shanchang. This was not an injustice to him.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang either actively or passively killed the Eastern Palace forces he had arranged for his son Zhu Biao.

Isn't it very cool? Then his explanation to Zhu Biao was, I am removing the thorn from you. In fact, it was because the power in the East Palace was unbalanced that Zhu Yuanzhang took action. If the Six Kings were not dead, he would not take action.

Anyway, the Dong Palace camp was finished, and then Zhu Biao started playing another group of Dong Palace.

He gathered together his wife's uncle Liang Guogong Lan Yu, the inspector-general Zhan Hui, and the minister of household affairs Fu Youwen to form his new team.

The civil and military officials and Huaixi nobles were all matched again. Compared with those who were matched by Zhu Yuanzhang before, they were only a little behind, but they were still outstanding people at that time.

As a result, Zhu Biao was short-lived and died in his prime. As soon as Zhu Biao died, his entire team was eliminated by his father, which was the Lan Yu case among the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Biao had not died, the Lan Yu case would not have happened, and Zhu Di would not have dared to rebel, because he could not defeat him. If Lan Yu could enter the martial arts temple, at worst he would be among the top seventy-two generals. And Zhu Di

, at most he is the middle class of the Seventy-Two Generals, which is on the same level as Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi and Ying Guogong Fu Youde who were implicated in the Lan Jade case, or even worse.

And now Zhu Biao is about to die. The cause of death is wind chill. Wind chill is the most deadly disease in China from ancient times to the present. When did Zhu Biao really get wind chill?

It was when he was investigating whether Chang'an could be used as the capital of the country that he was overworked and caught wind and cold. After that, he returned all the way from Chang'an to Yingtian Mansion without rest. He died of fatigue and wind and cold. Then Zhu Yunwen became the emperor's grandson.

Now Zhuo Qun appeared in Ciqing Palace with his people. Zhu Biao had already asked someone to put on the Nine Chapters of Gun Crown for himself. He knew that he was going to die, but he had to die with dignity. He did not allow himself to be there.

After his death, he was asked to dress himself up, so he had to put on the nine chapters of the crown prince's crown before he died.

Zhuo Qun looked at Zhu Biao, who looked a lot like Pan Yueming, a bit like Jiao Zhongqing in "The Peacock Flies Southeast". He was always polite no matter who he was talking to, even if he was about to die.

After putting on the Nine Chapters of Gun Mian, he also bowed and thanked those who helped him get dressed. Each of those people returned the gift with red eyes, and no one dared to look at him.

Zhuo Qun appeared in Ciqing Palace without a care in the world, sitting at the back of the crowd, eating an apple and looking at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao was a little curious about the people who suddenly appeared. Even if human beings are about to die, they still have strong curiosity.

There was no one there just now. I knew everyone in Ciqing Palace, but I had never seen this person before. I had never seen the clothes he was wearing. Who was he?

Zhu Biao looked at Zhuo Qun with a pale face, and Zhuo Qun was also eating an apple and looking at Zhu Biao.

"Who are you? I have never seen you before."

Zhu Biao's face turned red when he spoke.

Only people in Ciqing Palace saw Zhuo Qun.

"Who are you and why do you appear in the palace?"

Several guards immediately drew their swords from their waists and stood in front of Zhu Biao, protecting him behind them.

"What year is it today?"

Zhuo Qun looked at Zhu Biao and asked. As for those guards, he really didn't take them to heart. In his opinion, they were just some bastards who wanted to betray their leader.

This was an exaggeration, but it was not a lie. Zhuo Qun could see that the physical quality of these people was similar to that of the earliest tall and strong ones. They were all at the level of ordinary people. He could kill them all with one hand.

"April 24, the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu."

I don’t know why Zhu Biao answered this question, and he didn’t know the reason himself, but he just answered. He had some unclear trust in this person.

"It's April 24th, so you're going to die tomorrow."

Zhuo Qun took two bites of the apple, then put it on the table, looked at Zhu Biao and said.

"You are so bold, you actually dare to curse your Majesty."

The guards rushed up with their swords, raised their swords and struck down.

Zhuo Qun shook his head and reached out to grab the leader, and threw him out. The other guards also threw him out, but Zhuo Qun didn't even move.

"Don't hurt him."
