【As soon as you took the throne, you ordered Yang Shiqi to draft an edict, which mainly included "stopping the treasure ships sailing to the West, taking gems from Yunnan, gold beads from Jiaozhi, taking horses from Samar and other places, and purchasing, casting and supplying all other matters."】

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened! .

Good guy, many things that the fourth son had done before were stopped as soon as he took the throne!

Especially to Zhu Yuanzhang's surprise, the treasure fleet sailing to the West was also stopped! If he remembered correctly, during the fourth son's reign, Zheng He had sailed to the West six times!

And the seventh time was also being prepared!

But after Zhu Gaochi took the throne, it was equivalent to letting Zheng He, the navigator, go to work directly! 【You listened to the advice of the ministers and planned to move the capital back to Yingtian Prefecture. At the same time, you also sent your son Zhu Zhanji, who was already the crown prince, back to Yingtian Prefecture to preside over the relocation of the capital! 】

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly widened!

Before, Zhu Gaochi denied some of the Fourth Brother's policies and planned to rest with the people. He could still understand it, and he couldn't say whether it was right or wrong!

How long has it been since the capital of the Ming Dynasty was moved to Beiping?

This brat just registered and actually wanted to move the capital back to Yingtianfu? Isn't it more time-consuming and costly to toss back and forth? Zhu Yuanzhang even suspected that if the Fourth Brother knew what Zhu Gaochi had done, would he be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin?

【But the sky did not fulfill people's wishes! In May of the first year of Hongxi, you suddenly fell seriously ill! Before the relocation of the capital was implemented, you died of illness at the age of 48. The temple name was Renzong, and the posthumous title was Jingtian Tidao Chuncheng Zhide Hongwen Qinwu Zhangshengda Xiaozhao Emperor. He was buried in Xianling and passed the throne to Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji! 】

[You are Zhu Gaochi, the Ming Hongxi Emperor who died of obesity! ]

Zhu Yuanzhang: “????”

Good guy! This fat guy died just like that?

What’s the end of this?

Zhu Gaochi! The eldest son of the fourth son Zhu Di’s family also died young? He didn’t even sit on the throne for a full year!

Isn’t this too short?

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless!

The emperor who died of obesity at 24, this Zhu Gaochi is really unique! ??

??Before Zhu Yuanzhang had time to be shocked by Zhu Gaochi’s short life, the scene shifted again and came to Zhu Zhanji!

This time, the protagonist of the deduction became the fourth son’s good grandson Zhu Zhanji!

[You were in Yingtian when you learned that your father was seriously ill, and your uncle Zhu Gaoxu was planning to kill you on the way and then proclaim himself emperor. ]

[You changed your route back to Beijing and arrived safely in Beijing. After returning to Shuntian, you properly handled your father's funeral and tightened the defense of Shuntian City to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos. Then you ascended the throne calmly and changed the next year to the first year of Xuande. ]

[After ascending the throne, you abandoned your father's plan to move the court back to Yingtian and kept Shuntian as the imperial capital. This was probably because you grew up here and therefore cared deeply about the northern border like your grandfather Zhu Di. ]

This ZhuGao Xu is so bold! He dared to have someone kill the crown prince Zhu Zhanji halfway, and even wanted to establish himself as emperor!

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but widen his eyes!

He didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to be so bold. Isn't this a naked rebellion?

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanji should have been prepared in advance and returned to the capital without any danger! Zhu Yuanzhang still had a little expectation for Zhu Zhanji. After all, he was also a good grandson brought up by the fourth son. I just don't know how he will compare with Zhu Yunwen?

Not to mention civil governance, at least he must be several streets ahead of Zhu Yunwen in martial arts!

You must know that when the fourth son went north, he brought Zhu Zhanji with him. This is also an emperor who has truly experienced the experience of war, and can be regarded as an emperor on horseback!

[In August of the first year of Xuande, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu rebelled. He sent an official to Beijing to ask Zhang Fu, the Duke of England, to be the insider. Zhang Fu arrested the official that night and reported to the court. After that, he asked Jin Rong, the commander of Shandong, and others to respond in Jinan. The incident happened and the conspiracy was known to the court. 】

【At first, you were very angry when you learned that your second uncle had rebelled, but you decided to give him another chance. Instead of sending troops to fight, you wrote a letter to your second uncle and sent someone to persuade him to stop fighting. 】

【However, your second uncle not only did not appreciate it, but also planned to collude with local officials and former generals to rebel together. This time you were really angry and immediately summoned Zhang Fu to issue an order to personally lead the army. 】

Good guy! One rebelled when he disagreed with something!

The other went to the army when he disagreed with something! They are really uncle and nephew! When the fourth brother started the Jingnan Rebellion, Zhu Yunwen would never have the courage to lead the army in person like Zhu Zhanji. From this point of view, Zhu Yunwen lost!

The good grandson of the fourth son is much stronger than Zhu Yunwen! [The news of your personal expedition greatly encouraged the soldiers of the six armies, quickly calmed the people's hearts, and eased the turbulent situation. After that, the commander Huang Qian was sent to defend Huai'an with the general and Pingjiang Bo Chen Xuan to prevent the Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu from escaping south. ]

[Some people say that Zhu Gaoxu once asked to live in Nanjing, and this time he will lead his troops to capture Nanjing. You have a different opinion. The city of Jinan is strong, and Zhu Gaoxu will not risk attacking it. The families of the rebels are all in Le'an City, so Zhu Gaoxu will not go south to capture Nanjing, and can only defend Le'an. ]

[As you expected, Zhu Gaoxu knew that you were personally leading the expedition, and he had no idea and waited for death in Le'an. Zhu Zhanji ordered the anti-rebellion army to surround Le'an on all sides, but did not launch an offensive. ]

Zhu Yuanzhang: "????".

What are you playing?

A rebel!

A rebellion! How come it's all so childish, like a child playing house? Zhu Gaoxu was at a loss because Zhu Zhanji led the army in person, and just sat there waiting to die? This guy actually wanted to rebel?

And Zhu Zhanji, how could he be here to quell the rebellion?

It's more like he came to Anlezhou for fun, there's not even a bit of difficulty! [You ordered people to shoot arrows into the city, announcing the fate of the rebels, so many people in the city wanted to arrest Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu was very embarrassed, so he secretly sent someone to report to Emperor Xuanzong, begging for leniency, and he would leave the city and surrender the next morning, and he got your permission. 】

【That night, Zhu Gaoxu took out the accumulated weapons and all the documents of conspiracy and communication, and destroyed them all. The city was illuminated by fire all night. When Zhu Gaoxu was about to leave the city, Wang Bin and others insisted on stopping him, saying that it would be a shame to die in a battle and surrender without a fight. 】

【Zhu Gaoxu said that the city was too small to win. After leaving the city, the ministers submitted petitions requesting severe punishment. But you stopped them and showed Zhu Gaoxu the impeachment memorials of the ministers. 】

【Zhu Gaoxu bowed his head and said: "I am guilty of a thousand deaths, and my life and death are up to your majesty's order." You ordered Zhu Gaoxu to write a letter and summon his sons to return to the capital. The crime was limited to the initiators of the conspiracy, and the rest of the people who were coerced in the city were released. And arrested Wang Bin and others and put them in Jinyi Prison. Afterwards, he ordered Xue Lu and others to inspect Le'an and changed Le'an Prefecture to Wuding Prefecture. 】

【When the army returned, the troops were stationed at Shanqiao in Xixian County. Chen Shan, the Minister of Revenue, welcomed the emperor and suggested that they should take advantage of the victory to move the army to Zhangde and attack Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui. 】

【You summoned Yang Rong and told him Chen Shan's suggestion. Yang Rong praised it as a great plan. Then he summoned Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji, and the two dared not object. Yang Rong requested to send an imperial edict to Zhao Wang first, accusing him of conspiracy with Zhu Gaoxu, and the army would arrive immediately and naturally capture him. You followed this suggestion! 】

Good guy! Zhu Zhanji was planning to solve the problem once and for all. He was afraid that the third brother Zhu Gaosui would come back and do this, so he simply took down both of his uncles! From this point of view, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Yunwen are also the same kind of people! It's just that Zhu Yunwen's skills are inferior to others, and his strength is far inferior to Zhu Zhanji!

[After returning to Shuntian, you personally went to see Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu. Originally, you just wanted this uncle to admit his mistakes, but you didn't expect that Zhu Gaoxu, who was still talking happily and showing regret at the beginning, actually tripped you when you were about to leave, causing you to fall on the spot! ]

[You were furious, and immediately asked someone to use the copper vat in the yard to hold Zhu Gaoxu in it! However, what everyone didn't expect was that Zhu Gaoxu was so strong that he actually bumped around the yard with the copper vat! ]

[You directly ordered people to start a fire and roasted Zhu Gaoxu in the copper vat to death! After the death of Han Wang, his family was implicated and his descendants were cut off! ]

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

Is this roasting your own uncle to death?

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and he didn't react for a long time!

He was shocked by Zhu Zhanji's cruelty, and couldn't understand why Zhu Gaoxu continued to provoke Zhu Zhanji at this time. Isn't this tantamount to seeking death? He never dreamed that his own grandson would be made into braised chicken by his own nephew one day!

Although I think Zhu Gaoxu has brought it upon himself!

But Zhu Zhanji's use of such means to deal with his own uncle still made Zhu Yuanzhang feel quite disgusted!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not as angry as when he saw the old twelfth Xiang Wang Zhu Bo being forced to self-immolate by Zhu Yunwen!

The deduction is still continuing!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's original good impression of Zhu Zhanji was reduced a lot because of Zhu Gaoxu's incident!

But Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with Zhu Zhanji's series of performances during his reign! Perhaps the result of the treatment of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu was one of the few stains on Zhu Zhanji, but overall, the flaws did not outweigh the merits!

[During the Xuande Dynasty, there were "Three Yangs", Jian Yi, and Xia Yuanji in the civil affairs; there was Duke of England Zhang Fu in the military affairs, and there were governors like Yu Qian and Zhou Chen in the local areas. It was really full of talents! ]

[This made the Ming Dynasty under your governance politically clear, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the economy achieved unprecedented development, and the famous "Renxuan Reign" prosperity situation appeared after the Wenjing Reign, the Zhenguan Reign, and the Kaiyuan Prosperity. ]

Well? Renxuan Reign?

It seems that Zhu Zhanji has something! However, this so-called Renxuan Reign is nothing compared to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty during the reign of the ninth emperor!

Whether it is from the perspective of economy, military power or national strength, they are far from being on the same level!

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison!

[However, in your spare time from governing the country, you are obsessed with cricket fighting! As an emperor, you think it is normal to have some hobbies, and you will not neglect the government because of your hobbies! ]

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

What kind of hobby is cricket fighting?

Our Zhu family actually has an emperor who likes cricket fighting? Isn't this a waste of time?

This stinky boy should not capsize in the gutter!

From ancient times to the present, even a strong emperor like Emperor Wu of Han was criticized for a series of foolish actions in his later years, but Zhu Zhanji is still so young! [However, you overlooked one point, that is, what goes up means what goes down! It is actually a very dangerous thing for the emperor to have a hobby. Officials from all over the country who flatter the emperor have been ostentatiously purchasing high-quality crickets to bring to the capital, because it is not uncommon for crickets to lose their heads, and there are also many who get promoted and make a fortune. ]

[Anhui Luzhou Prefecture once presented a particularly combative cricket as a tribute, which defeated more than a dozen famous insects in the palace. You were very happy to hear about it, and specially rewarded the Luzhou prefect with a thousand taels of gold. Later, you even used your official position to reward the cricket tribute. ]

[In the army, catching high-quality crickets is as meritorious as taking the enemy's head, which can be recorded as a great merit and the position can be promoted several levels. 】

【Therefore, from the court officials to the ordinary people, no one dared to take it lightly and regarded catching crickets as a top priority. 】

【The price of crickets has risen sharply, and it is worth hundreds of taels of silver. 】

A tyrant!

Isn't this the behavior of a tyrant?

What a bullshit Renxuan Reign!

Zhu Yuanzhang almost got angry when he saw this!

He never thought that Zhu Zhanji could do such a ridiculous thing!

However, before Zhu Yuanzhang had time to get angry, everything that happened next made him fall into silence again! 【In the tenth year of Xuande, you died of illness, and your posthumous title was Xiantian Chongdao Yingming Shengsheng QinEmperor Wen Zhao Wu Kuan Ren Chun Xiao Zhang, temple name Xuanzong, buried in Jingling. 】

[You are Zhu Zhanji, the Ming emperor who led the famous "Ren Xuan Reign" prosperity after the reigns of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, the reign of Emperor Zhenguan, and the reign of Emperor Kaiyuan. 】

What the hell...

Why did the two generations of emperors from Zhu Gaochi to Zhu Zhanji have such short lives!

One lived for more than 40 years, and the other died at the age of 36!

It seems that our Biaoer is the same!

Why can't the emperors and crown princes of our Zhu family get rid of the nightmare of premature death? However, before Zhu Yuanzhang had time to sigh for a while, the perspective of the dream scene changed again! This time, the protagonist became Zhu Zhanji's nine-year-old son, the crown prince Zhu Qizhen! Huh? Zhu Zhanji died in his thirties! His son was only nine years old!

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty had to let a young emperor succeed to the throne?

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, his heart tightened! He didn't think that a young emperor would be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty!

I hope I'm overthinking it, but don't make any mistakes! Although he knows that everything he sees now is just the original history, and it is impossible to happen again now, he doesn't want to see anything bad in the past Ming Dynasty!

[On the first day of the first month of the tenth year of Xuande, my father, who was seriously ill, asked the ministers to exempt themselves from the court congratulations and asked them to go to the Wenhua Hall of the East Palace to pay homage to you, the crown prince! ]

[What you didn't expect was that two days later, my father died in the Qianqin Palace, and the will passed the throne to you. ]

[But at this time, you were nine years old in age, and your actual age was only more than 7 years old, so you couldn't handle government affairs, so your father asked in his will that "all important state affairs should be reported to the Empress Dowager and the Queen, and then implemented." 】

This...

Isn't this a case of the harem interfering in politics?

No, this is no longer the harem interfering in politics, but the harem directly acting as regent!

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw the contents of Zhu Zhanji's will, he was furious at first, but soon sighed helplessly! For Zhu Zhanji, this seemed to be the best choice under desperate circumstances! Who made him so short-lived? .
