Chapter 5 The Confused Little Zhu Di
Zhu Biao just flicked the hook and the fish was hooked.
"Guozuo of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Biao murmured and repeated it.
He deliberately pondered for a while and then said thoughtfully: "The example of the former Yuan Dynasty? At that time, Meng Ge, the third great Khan of the Mongol Empire, died in Diaoyu City, which caused Temujin's descendants to start earning family property. It was so huge
The Mongol Empire fell apart!"
"It's just..." Zhu Biao seemed to have thought of something, and changed the topic, "This has the advantage that even if the pseudo-Yuan Dynasty is destroyed, the Mongol Khanate will still exist, and Temujin's descendants will still be kings and hegemons in foreign lands."
"Your Highness, this is indeed the case. Meng Yuan is the best example!" Fang Jin nodded in agreement.
What he actually wanted to give as an example was the Western colonization of later generations, such as those countries established by the Angsa people who wiped out the indigenous people.
Fang Jin felt that Zhu Biao was not a person of later generations, and he did not know those Ansa countries, so it was most appropriate to cite the example of the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Biao's face was pondering, but his heart was filled with joy.
Because both of them are time travellers, they have similar ideas.
By letting him do the work, Zhu Biao didn't have to worry about the other party being obedient.
"Old Fang, you have a very good mind, and this is indeed a good idea." Zhu Biao first praised him, and then pretended to be worried and said, "I am the prince, and I will also sit in that position in the future, you understand.
"
"I understand!"
"I will have sons in the future, many sons, so sooner or later I will encounter all the headaches encountered by emperors in the past. Lao Fang, your idea has given me a new way of thinking." Zhu Biao sighed softly, "
The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and the siblings can kill each other. This is what a father is most afraid of encountering."
"Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of!"
Fang Jin also decisively agreed, thinking to himself: It is only the first year of Hongwu, the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" has not yet been written, and the eldest son succession system has not been determined. It is normal for the prince to have this worry.
At this time, a palace maid hurriedly came over to convey the message, and the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince came to visit together.
Zhu Biao's heart moved, so he paused this "communication between the two time travelers" and called the three younger brothers into the hall.
At this time, except for himself, who was canonized as crown prince, none of the other princes were crowned kings.
"Three brothers, if you don't study hard, why do you want to see me?" Zhu Biao looked at them indifferently and asked.
His eyes lingered on his fourth brother Zhu Di for a while.
It was mentioned in the Ming Dynasty film and television dramas in previous lives that Zhu Di accompanied Xu Da on the Northern Expedition when he was young. However, Zhu Di was only eight years old at this time, which is obviously an exaggeration in the film and television dramas.
Zhu Biao turned his attention to Fang Jin casually.
As expected, that guy was quietly sizing up Zhu Di. After all, Emperor Yongle's reputation was so well-known that any time traveler wanted to see what happened.
It's just that Zhu Di today is still a naughty child with no imperial temperament at all.
"Brother!" The second eldest brother, Zhu Xiang, was the first to speak. He chuckled, "I heard that our Ming army won the battle. Uncle Xu Da is really awesome!"
The third child, Zhu Fan, also echoed excitedly.
"Brother, I will join the army with Uncle Xu Da in the future and learn the skills of fighting from him!" Zhu Di, who spoke last, was the most courageous. At the same time, he clenched his fist vigorously.
That resolute expression and determined tone made Fang Jin beside him flash a strange look.
"My fourth brother is really not simple. No wonder in the future, the second and third brothers will cause complaints in their own fiefdoms. Only the fourth brother will manage his own fiefdom in Beiping in an orderly manner."
Zhu Biao thought for a while and replied: "The three of you came to me. Could it be that I asked my brother to go to my father and allow you to learn some skills in leading troops in war?"
He paused, then said in a serious tone: "Whose idea is it?"
Zhu Di decisively took a step forward and replied: "Brother, this is my brother's idea. Second brother and third brother were all called here by my brother."
However, after he finished speaking, he lowered his head and seemed a little reserved. It was obvious that this eldest brother usually left a very majestic impression on him.
"Second brother, third brother, if you have this idea, you can indeed speak to your father. As for fourth brother, you are still too young now. Just wait a few more years." As Zhu Biao spoke, he suddenly pointed to the place next to him.
Jin continued, "Fourth brother, this brother Fang Jin is capable of both literary and martial arts. He and I are both brothers and teachers. He is a rare talent in our Ming Dynasty."
"You can ask him for more advice when you have time."
Zhu Di opened his ignorant and innocent eyes wide, and then saluted Fang in a dull manner.
What is going on? He obviously came to ask his elder brother for help and let him learn some skills in marching and fighting, but this is the result.
Zhu Biao ignored Zhu Di who was in a daze, but smiled and said to Fang Jin: "Lao Fang, my fourth brother, I will trouble you to teach me in the future, especially the few ideas you just taught to Gu, let my fourth brother
Study hard."
After saying that, he blinked deliberately, with an intriguing smile on his lips.
After Fang Jin understood the connotation of Zhu Biao's words, he quickly came to his senses and said, "I obey your order!"
He understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to train the fourth prince Zhu Di to become the king of the vassal state, and one day stay away from the center of power of the Ming Dynasty.
He truly deserves to be the first prince in history.
Fang Jin knew that according to historical records, among the four major cases of the Hongwu Dynasty, except for the Lan Yu case, the other three major cases were tried by Zhu Biao personally.
Prince Zhu Biao is definitely not a kind-hearted person. He will never hesitate when it is time to be cruel. Otherwise, how could the princes, civil and military officials and nobles of the dynasty be so obedient to this prince.
Zhu Biao also had a good eye. Among the three princes, he could tell at a glance that the fourth brother Zhu Di was outstanding.
Fang Jin felt very satisfied and looked at Zhu Di with deep meaning in his eyes.
King Yan and Emperor Yongle, let's see how I train you in the future and make you a mighty and domineering king of a vassal state. At least you no longer have to eat pig food in those years, and you don't have to pretend to be crazy anymore.
You don’t need to thank me!
After Zhu Biao sent away his three younger brothers, he also sent Fang Jin away and stayed alone.
In fact, his emotions towards this fourth brother were complicated from beginning to end.
Later generations of people who study the history of the Ming Dynasty have always said that Zhu Di respected Zhu Biao very much, but can you explain to me what "Fengtian Jingnan Ji" is about?
It's okay if you want to vilify Zhu Yunwen, after all, he is too pushy, but why do you even treat my good brother like me so black and white?
Why did Zhu Yuanzhang only love his fourth son, but he had many conflicts with his eldest son? He wanted to depose the crown prince Zhu Biao three times and make Zhu Di the crown prince. This is simply ridiculous to the extreme.
"I must live a long time, and I must live longer than my fourth brother."
Zhu Biao suddenly stood up and shouted: "Come here, get up the sedan and go to Taiyuan Hospital!"
