When King Su heard what Zhu Di said, he had an embarrassed look on his face, and then he knelt on the ground and said: "Father, please forgive me for being greedy for merit. The battle of Ganzhou was indeed a result of the king's contribution, but mainly
It’s because Xu Yingxu, the son of Duke Xu, is good at fighting and has nothing to do with the acting king.”
When Zhu Di heard this, his expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to say something, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Okay, no matter what, I don't want to hear Zhu Gui's name again. Zhu Di, don't you have any ideas about the position of prince?"
Really? Those brothers behind you seem to support you?"
How could Zhu Yuanzhang not know Zhu Di's influence in the court? Zhu Di is the prince most like Zhu Yuanzhang. It can be said that if Zhu Biao did not exist, the position of prince would definitely belong to Zhu Di.
What makes Zhu Yuanzhang a little confused is why Zhu Di did not fight for the crown prince himself, but instead recommended Zhu Guilai?
If this is just Zhu Di's strategy of retreating in order to advance, then he should recommend a more likely candidate. He should know his opinion of Zhu Gui.
After Zhu Di heard this, he knelt down and said: "My son, if you say you are not interested in the position of prince, you must be lying. But as the King of Jin said, the land of Yan is very important to our Ming Dynasty. Apart from my son, I am afraid that no one is interested in the position of prince."
None of the other feudal lords have the ability to guard Yan."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this and said: "Haha, so you are the one who understands justice the most? If you become the emperor, you can move the capital to Yanjing. Wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was just joking. Unexpectedly, a glint flashed in Zhu Di's eyes as he lowered his head. It seemed that he had never thought of this possibility before.
But now that he had said it, Zhu Yuanzhang might not be happy if he repeated it, so he said nothing more.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Di didn't speak anymore, he turned to look at Jin Wang Zhu Xi: "Zhu Xi, you seem to be quite a prince?"
Zhu Yan walked out of the crowd, knelt down and said gracefully: "Father, sons and ministers are the most suitable princes. Father spent half his life in the army to conquer the Ming Dynasty. Now he needs a wise king to rest and recuperate, so that the Ming Dynasty can be consolidated forever."
"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he sneered and said: "Huh, what a 'rest and recuperation', what a 'forever country', what kind of bullshit is this country-governing strategy you wrote? How dare you show me this kind of thing? You are too stupid."
You think highly of yourself."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he grabbed the memorial written by Zhu Xi from the eunuch behind him and threw it in front of him.
Faced with this situation, Zhu Tie did not expect to be afraid at all. He picked up the memorial and said: "Father, do you have a better choice?"
Zhu Xi's rhetorical question was originally intended to create an advantage for himself, and he was prepared and did not panic.
I just didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang had a plan. He pulled the young man standing next to him and said: "Huh, of course I have a plan for a long time. The reason why I let you speak freely is just to test your tone."
"Zhu Di is quite calm. Zhu Di, you are too arrogant. I will consider whether to continue your position as vassal king."
"By the way, I have prepared to pass the crown prince to Zhu Biao's son, my grandson Yunwen, after his death."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were like stones thrown into the lake. All the princes and vassal kings present looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and the young man Zhu Yunwen half a step in front of him in disbelief.
They never imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang would pass on the crown prince to a prince who was only twelve years old. No, he was not even a prince, just a grandson.
In history, there is no such thing, and according to the order, it is not his turn.
Even Zhu Di, who has always been very calm, showed doubts and unwillingness.
The eldest brother is Zhu Biao. Zhu Di is still convinced by him, but why does his son have to be ranked in front of him?
It's just that Zhu Di was very thoughtful and had an almost instinctive fear of Zhu Yuanzhang, so although he was unwilling to do so, he didn't say anything.
But some people don't have that much thought.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Tie, who originally thought he was sure of victory, immediately knelt and crawled forward a few steps, pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's robe and said: "Father, no, although Yun Wen is the son of the prince, the prince has not registered.
How can he make his son the successor prince?"
Zhu Xi originally thought that his biggest competitor was Zhu Di. After the other party "voluntarily gave up" his position as prince, he originally thought that the situation was stable, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway.
Zhu Yuanzhang kicked Zhu Xi away with one kick.
"I am the emperor, and my words are the imperial edict. The emperor's grandson Yun Wen is very virtuous and filial. Although the prince is young, with the help of ministers, he will definitely become a wise king in the future. I have written the imperial edict and will announce it tomorrow.
"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words brought an end to the dispute among the kings. Except for the somewhat ignorant Zhu Yunwen, the expressions of the other princes and princes were very complicated.
Especially Jin King Zhu Tie, who was lying on the ground, biting his lip, with a fierce light in his eyes. After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's final words, he stood up.
"Father, I apologize that I cannot listen to your opinion. You must be old and confused, or be deceived by others. How can the Ming Dynasty be handed over to a child who is still young? This is irresponsible to the Ming Dynasty."
With a serious look on his face, Zhu Xi said something that made everyone present look horrified.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
He finally saw that Zhu Xi must have something to rely on, and he dared to question his emperor's decision in public.
"Presumptuous, who do you think you are talking to again? Come on, pull this traitor down."
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table, and the two guards behind him immediately rushed over.
The other feudal lords were all frightened by this scene and stared at everything in stunned silence.
But with two "bang" and "bang" sounds, the two guards suddenly fell in front of Zhu Xi.
Zhu Tie held a pistol and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a proud look on his face.
"Gui Zi, what are you doing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked, but after all, he was a person who had experienced countless big scenes. Although he didn't know what Zhu Xi was holding, his aura became stronger.
Zhu Xi sneered: "Father, you forced me to do this. Don't worry, my son will not kill his father. He just wants to repeat the tactics of Emperor Taizong of the past."
As he spoke, he pointed his gun at Zhu Di and others.
Now the Imperial Garden was completely in chaos.
Facing the two Ouchi guards who died tragically, these unarmed lords and princes were even less able to resist.
