【Part 147】Son

Although Prince Zhu Gaochi looks unpleasant, he is a kind man and treats others with sincerity and integrity.

The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, was brave and good at fighting, but had a cruel personality. During his campaigns, he often killed innocent people indiscriminately and strangled prisoners of war. This is why most military generals respected the King of Han, but most civil servants supported the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi.

Jie Jin once said: "The King of Han has a violent temper." Because of this comment, Zhu Gaoxu could not get rid of it. He hated Jie Jin to death and vowed to punish him to death.

But why did Emperor Yongle Zhu Di not change the crown prince for more than ten years despite clearly not liking Zhu Gaochi?

The reason lies in Zhu Zhanji.

Yongle Emperor Zhu Di tried several times to depose Zhu Gaochi and make the King of Han the crown prince. However, he was always blocked by civil servants. In a secret conversation late at night, Zhu Di once asked Xie Jin, who was still under the control of the Holy Family at that time, "Who should be made the crown prince?"

"

Xie Jin touched his beard and replied: "Establish a holy grandson." This sentence reminded Zhu Di of Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the emperor whom he liked very much. This also strengthened the chance of the prince to stay in office.

Xie Jin's words established an invincible position for Zhu Zhanji.

Because of this, Xie Jin was classified as the prince's gang, and Zhu Gaoxu hated it deeply. In addition to the previous comments, Zhu Gaoxu often looked for opportunities to frame Xie Jin. Once, Xie Jin returned to Beijing to meet the prince, and Zhu Gaoxu took the opportunity to bite Zhu Di's ear.

It was said that cabinet ministers who befriended the prince might have the intention of treason. Zhu Di, who was suspicious by nature, ordered the arrest of Jie Jin, killed him, and sent his wife and children to the border. The later marriage contract between Mr. Jie and Hu Youlan also extended to the Assassin family.

Wu Yixin decided to assassinate Zhu Di.

Things in the world are connected one after another. A sentence a few years ago actually affected the subsequent changes.

Zhu Zhanji was smart since he was a child and was very popular with the emperor. On the day Zhu Zhanji was born, Zhu Di dreamed that Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a big gui. Since ancient times, a big gui has represented a national weapon, which also solidified Zhu Di's belief that he was this

The real master of the country, and Zhu Zhanji is the great leader of the country sent from heaven.

Zhu Zhanji not only knew literature, but also practiced martial arts. In addition to being a guard, Liu Muyu's role at his side was to accompany Zhu Zhanji to practice martial arts.

Zhu Di was extremely happy to know that Zhu Zhanji knew martial arts. Zhu Di liked Zhu Zhanji so much that he never took Zhu Gaochi on an expedition, but he took the young Zhu Zhanji to two expeditions in the Western Regions.

He asked him to point out the empire of Emperor Yongle.

It can be seen that Zhu Zhanji is the key figure in this battle for the throne.

The King of Han didn't know that Zhu Di liked the prince's son, but he didn't believe that a little kid could decide who would be the next emperor. So the King of Han was focused on how to bring down the prince and completely ignored the emperor's grandson. There was a person who asked

Zhu Gaochi came forward and suggested finding a master to protect Zhu Zhanji personally. So Liu Muyu was born.

The person who came to remonstrate was Zheng He. Zheng He had taken care of the princes when he was young. He deeply realized Zhu Gaoxu's lack of virtue and incompetence, so he turned to Prince Zhu Gaochi without hesitation.

Liu Muyu and Zhu Zhanji grew up together, and Liu Muyu was a few years older. But as they grew older, the original deep friendship gradually changed into a courtesy between monarch and minister, and they were no longer equal friends. Liu Muyu is now separated from Zhu Zhanji.

There is a layer of film, and it is impossible to understand his thoughts. He is more like Zhu Zhanji's personal bodyguard.

There are no true friends on the throne. His grandfather Zhu Di had told him this a long time ago.
