Chapter 855: King Of Qin Zhu Xi, King Of Jin Zhu Fan, King Of Yan Zhu Di Finally Let Go [Please Subs
When King Zhu Di of Yan heard the results of his four-year governorship announced by his father, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but murmur softly:
"Am I more than my eldest brother?!!"
"My grades as a state governor in four years have surpassed those of my elder brother?!"
"I'm really better than my eldest brother..."
Seeing this, King Zhu Fang of Qin and King Zhu Fan of Jin on the side also put a hand on the left and right of Yan King Zhu Di and patted him on the shoulder to express relief.
If there is anyone who can best understand what King Yan Zhu Di is thinking at this moment, then there are only two of them.
Although their eldest brother Zhu Biao gave them the opportunity to compete for the second generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to be honest, they only wanted to compete once and then become more convinced.
As for winning over their eldest brother Zhu Biao, they had never thought about it except when they were dreaming.
After all, Zhu Biao, the prince with the most stable status throughout the ages, did not just rely on Zhu Yuanzhang's favor to secure his position.
Like the four major Hongwu cases in history, the first three major cases: the Kongyin case, the Hu Weiyong rebellion case, and the Guo Huan case, although the final decisions were all made by Zhu Yuanzhang.
But the specific execution process is all the responsibility of Prince Baobiao.
More than 100,000 people died in the three major cases, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still praised the benevolence of Prince Zhu Biao and shed tears of gratitude to Prince Zhu Biao.
Of course, this is also related to Zhu Yuanzhang personally taking all the infamy.
However, if the prince Zhu Biao is incompetent, even if Zhu Yuanzhang comes forward to take all the infamy, Zhu Biao, who is responsible for these major cases, will still be secretly resented by other civil and military officials.
The reason why Prince Zhu Biao is so powerful is that after Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to take over all the infamy, he handled things beautifully, so that all the civil and military officials did not hate him, but were grateful to him. This is his ability and It's up to you.
This is a bit like the historical Han Emperor Liu Heng who "cryed to death" his uncle Bo Zhao.
Bo Zhao, the uncle of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, Liu Heng, followed his sister to the Dai Dynasty after the death of Liu Bang, and was loyal to the then king of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.
When Liu Heng came to Beijing and ascended the throne, Bo Zhao acted as a pawn. He took the lead in going to Chang'an as an envoy of the imperial court to explore the way for Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. He also made accurate judgments on the trends in Chang'an City and promoted the advancement of Emperor Wen Wen of the Han Dynasty. The process of ascending to the throne.
When the meritorious officials were rewarded afterwards, Bo Zhao was also the first among the old officials of Daidi.
After Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, he immediately worshiped Bo Zhao as a general of chariots and cavalry, granted the title of Zhihou, and granted him ten thousand households in the city.
From then on, Bo Zhao rose to prominence as a relative, traveling between Mokayang Palace and Changle Palace. He was also the link between ministers and the court of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. For a time, he was extremely respected and favored.
However, the prosperous Chang'an may have gradually confused his eyes. Bo Zhao later became increasingly indulgent, which gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.
Until one day, Bo Zhao killed an envoy from the Han Dynasty and was punished for his crime.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty couldn't bear to speak out, so he sent a minister to drink with Bo Zhao and persuade him to commit suicide, but Bo Zhao flatly refused and did not want to die.
Oops, I want you to show your dignity, but you actually refuse to show your dignity. There is no other way. Emperor Hanwen had no choice but to take action himself and help his uncle to show his dignity.
Therefore, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ordered all the ministers to wear mourning clothes and cry in mourning. The crying could be said to be endless for three days.
In the end, Bo Zhao had no choice but to commit suicide. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was devastated by the loss of his uncle and went to express his sincere condolences and honor him after his death.
However, even though he "cryed to death" his uncle, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty Liu Heng still relied on his allusion of "tasting the medicine personally" to rank as one of the "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" in the Han Dynasty, which ruled the world with filial piety. He was also the only emperor among them. .
One can imagine what Emperor Liu Heng of Han Dynasty was capable of.
To put it bluntly, doing dirty things is nothing.
But after you do something dirty, no one thinks you did something dirty.
Or maybe they think you are "forced" to do dirty things, but they still think you are a pure and flawless "white Lotus Flower". This is a very remarkable skill!
Prince Zhu Biao had such ability, otherwise he would not have become Bai Yueguang, the great minister of the Hongwu Dynasty in history.
In today's Ming Dynasty, although due to various reform policies of the imperial court in the past few years, including the reform of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Guo Huan case in the eighteenth year of Hongwu (1385) did not occur in the original history.
However, the previous empty seal case in the ninth year of Hongwu and the subsequent Hu Weiyong rebellion were still handled specifically by Prince Zhu Biao.
And Prince Zhu Biao still handled the case beautifully, and all the civil and military officials felt that his magnanimity did not let these two wooden cases involve the remaining civil and military officials.
Therefore, Prince Zhu Biao's ability is beyond doubt.
Therefore, although King Zhu Xi of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan all regarded Prince Zhu Biao as the goal they wanted to surpass, they never thought that one day they would actually be able to surpass Prince Zhu Biao.
So when King Zhu Di of Yan really surpassed Prince Zhu Biao and ranked first in the governance achievements of the state in four years, King Zhu Di of Yan would fall into that state of trance.
"Congratulations, fourth brother, you did a great job!"
Prince Zhu Biao also took two steps forward and touched the head of King Yan Zhu Di, his eyes gentle and cheerful.
In a trance, King Yan Zhu Di felt his eldest brother's warm and generous palm on his head, looked at his eldest brother's sincere face in front of him, and pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
When he was young, whenever he made some small achievements that he thought he was doing well, his elder brother would touch his head, encourage him and praise him like he does now.
This is much better than Zhu Yuanzhang who always felt that he was not doing his job properly, and sometimes even got so angry that he would just take off his belt and hang him up and whip him.
If King Zhu Di of Yan and other princes were afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, then they respected and respected Prince Zhu Biao.
This is the case with the so-called false old father——Zhu Yuanzhang, and the real old father——Zhu Biao.
Therefore, regarding the fact that he surpassed his eldest brother Zhu Biao, Zhu Di's complex mood was far from being understood by outsiders.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the scene of "father and son affection" among the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and so on. He felt a little unsightly for some reason and couldn't help but interrupt:
"Okay, stop chattering there and sit down for us!"
"But a person who has been ranked first in the state for four years has nothing to be proud of!"
Talking about the total score of three years as county magistrate and four years as prefecture magistrate, "his favorite mark is still ranked tenth!
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes also gathered their emotions and returned to their seats one after another.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the report card in his hand that recorded the achievements of the princes in the four years of prefecture. He glanced at the princes present and said:
"Two years ago, Lao Liu and Lao Qi said they would withdraw from the competition for the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty and choose to establish kingdoms in other overseas continents."
"Now let me ask you two again, are you sure you want to withdraw from the competition for the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty and choose to establish a country in other overseas continents?!!"
Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Shu both nodded and said:
"Well, sure!"
"Hey, I still like to go overseas to other continents!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised by this, and immediately arranged:
"From today on, you two, like Lao Wu, have full authority to take over the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and become familiar with the specific operations of an empire from six ministries down to prefectures and counties as soon as possible.
"After the Ming Dynasty has made preliminary preparations for the Eastern Conquest of the Japanese Kingdom, you two will lead the army to the Eastern Conquest of the Japanese Kingdom [to accumulate some experience in establishing feudal states in other continents overseas."
"do you understand?!!"
King Zhu Zhen of Chu and King Zhu Su of Qi looked at each other, stood up and responded:
"Yes, Father!"
After arranging the arrangements for King Zhu Zhen of Chu and King Zhu Shu of Qi, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to look at King Zhu Di of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan, and said without any change in his tone:
"Two years ago, we asked the three of you whether you wanted to withdraw from the competition for the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You said you would give us the answer after the two years of knowing the state."
"Now that the two years of Zhizhou are over, what is your answer to us?!!"
"Just withdraw from the competition for the second emperor of Ming Dynasty?!!"
“Should we continue the competition for five-year prefectural governance by the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty?!!”
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, whether it was King Zhu Di of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, or King Zhu Di of Yan, they all fell silent.
In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak to urge him, but quietly waited for the answers from Qin Wang Zhu Di, Jin Wang Zhu Fan, and Yan Wang Zhu Di.
The eyes of Prince Zhu Biao, King of Chu Zhu Zhen, and King of Qi Zhu Bo also fell on Qin King Zhu Di, Jin King Zhu Gang, and Yan King Zhu Di.
After an unknown amount of time, King Yan Zhu Di suddenly stood up. Including King Zhu Di of Qin and King Zhu Fan of Jin, who were deep in thought, everyone's eyes were focused on King Yan Zhu Di.
King Yan Zhu Di lifted up his robe, knelt down on his knees towards Zhu Yuanzhang, stared at Zhu Yuanzhang closely, and asked with longing eyes:
"Dad, when it comes to talent, I am not inferior to my elder brother, right?!!"
Hearing Zhu Di's words as if he wanted to "compete" with Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang almost wanted to refute on the spot. After all, his Biao'er was the best, and no son could compare with him.
But when Zhu Yuanzhang looked carefully, he found that there was no look of dissatisfaction in Zhu Di's eyes, but instead there was just a look of desire and prayer.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang truly understood the meaning of Zhu Di's words and sighed deeply.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked towards Zhu Di, personally helped Zhu Di up, patted the non-existent dust on Zhu Di's body, and said with a rare gentle smile:
"Your talents are not inferior to those of your elder brother!"
.....................
"You, like your elder brother, are the most outstanding sons in my father's heart!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's two words, Zhu Didang couldn't help but blush, and then raised his head, and said with some relief:
"I understand, I am quitting the competition for the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty!!!"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang had time to say a few words to Zhu Di, King Qin Zhu Xi also knelt down and stared at Zhu Yuanzhang with the same bright eyes and said:
"Dad, have you ever thought about letting me succeed you?!!"
Hearing the words of King Qin Zhu Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang was also slightly stunned.
Then looking at Qin King Zhu Di's eyes that were similar to those of Yan King Zhu Di just now, he immediately understood the meaning of Qin King Zhu Di's words.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed lightly, walked towards King Qin Zhu Xi, and helped him up personally. Then he looked into the eyes of King Qin Zhu Di and said with an extremely serious expression:
"Not before, because you were not capable enough to inherit our position."
"However, over the years, we have really thought carefully about what would happen if you succeeded us.
"
"Although we don't know what the consequences will be if you inherit our position, but if the Ming Empire is handed over to you now, then we will give up now.
Huan, you can go there with confidence. "
After hearing these three sentences from Zhu Yuanzhang, the strong-minded King of Qin Zhu Xi couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and then he still forced a calm tone and said:
"My father's words are enough!!!"
"I also withdraw from the competition for the second emperor of Ming Dynasty!!!"
Here, Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished appeasing Qin King Zhu Xi, and the remaining Jin King Zhu Fan also knelt down as expected, while staring at Zhu Yuanzhang closely and said:
0
"If there is no eldest brother, and the eldest son inheritance system is not considered, will you choose me to succeed you, or will you choose the eldest brother's son to succeed you?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also personally helped Jin Wang Zhu Fan up and sighed softly:
"If we didn't have your eldest brother and didn't consider the eldest son inheritance system, we would naturally choose you to inherit our position!!!"
After receiving a clear reply from Zhu Yuanzhang, King Zhu Fan of Jin also showed a satisfied smile and said:
"I also withdraw from the competition for the second emperor of Ming Dynasty!!!"
Prince Zhu Biao, who was sitting in his original position, looked at the scene where Zhu Yuanzhang was surrounded by King Zhu Xi of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan. He also picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip.
mouth, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.
He knew from the beginning that although King Zhu Di of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan did have some thoughts in their hearts that they wanted to compete with him for the throne of emperor.
But what the three of Qin King Zhu Xi, Jin King Zhu Fan, and Yan King Zhu Di longed for most was actually Zhu Yuanzhang's approval.
In other words, Qin King Zhu Xi, Jin King Zhu Fan, and Yan King Zhu Di wanted to compete with him for the position of rival in order to gain Zhu Yuanzhang's recognition.
The reason why King Zhu Di of Qin, King Zhu Gang of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan had such an idea was that Zhu Yuanzhang, in the final analysis, wanted to ensure that Zhu Biao's position as crown prince would not be shaken.
The reason for being too biased.
There is no way. A young man in his teens or 20s has heard his father whisper in his ears since he was born: the family property belongs to your eldest brother. You must not have evil intentions, let alone fight.
The idea of this family property,
If you dare to have evil thoughts about this family property and your elder brother, Lao'zi will beat you up!
Which young man can see his father being so partial and not be angry, rebellious, or mentally unbalanced?!!
Naturally, King Zhu Xi of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan were unwilling, unconvinced, and mentally unbalanced.
However, under the power of Zhu Yuanzhang, and because Prince Zhu Biao treated these brothers with kindness and kindness, and had outstanding abilities, King Zhu Di of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and Yan
Wang Zhudi could only accept it silently.
But this does not mean that the unwillingness and dissatisfaction in the hearts of King Zhu Di of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan disappeared, but they were just hidden and buried.
So when Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang gave them a chance to compete for the throne of emperor, they would fight for it desperately.
Investigating their purpose, in addition to really wanting to compete for the throne of emperor, the more important thing is to prove to Zhu Yuanzhang that they are no worse than their eldest brother Zhu Biao!
So when Zhu Yuanzhang personally admitted that King Zhu Di of Yan was no worse than Prince Zhu Biao, he really considered letting King Zhu Feng of Qin succeed him as the emperor, and if he did not consider the eldest son succession system
If so, Yin Zhunan will be chosen to succeed him.
The three kings of Qin Zhu Fang, Jin Wang Zhu Fan, and Yan Wang Zhu Di finally let go of Zhu Yuanzhang's partiality for their eldest brother Zhu Biao from his youth until now.
