After the in-depth talk that day, Zhu Zhenzhen kept his promise and began to study hard.
The gentlemen of the main hall were all full of praise for His Royal Highness the King of Chu. They praised him for finally not sleeping in class and no longer using rice paper to wipe his nose. He also no longer showed "king's contempt" to the teacher...
Although he was still stumbling when he endorsed the book, and his handwriting looked like he was suffering from epilepsy... But he already made the gentlemen shout with satisfaction, "The boy is teachable".
Otherwise, if all the students who come out of the main hall are as uneducated and unskilled as King Qin and King Yan, they, the gentlemen, will be completely disgraced.
This shows that as long as early treatment is given, there will be curative effects! Like King Qin and King Yan, it is simply too late and there is no cure...
But Mr. Liu is an exception. The two of them seem to have formed a quarrel. As long as he goes to class, the King of Chu will return to his old ways, talk back and pick up the conversation, and give Liu Bowen a four-piece suit to serve.
Liu Bowen stopped being polite to him and punished him by making him stand, copying books, calling his parents, and even caused him to be beaten twice by his father...
If this is part of the plan, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will have to sacrifice a lot.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always come to see the public, and is quite satisfied with his brother's performance, feeling that he really listened to what he said.
As for the conflict between Zhu Zhen and Liu Bowen, Zhu Biao didn't care. Prince, who doesn't have a temper? What's more, he is still a child...
Zhu Biao didn't know that his in-depth conversation was not the main reason for his brother's change.
The main reason that can change a person is always the change in his own heart...
~~
In fact, Zhu Zhen has carefully considered how he should spend his life.
After thinking about it, two words came out: ‘Lie flat’.
Because a person's destiny must of course depend on self-struggle, but the process of history must also be taken into consideration.
Sometimes choice is more important than hard work...
Didn’t future generations say that in the Ming Dynasty, a good vassal was considered a good vassal?
With his superficial knowledge of history, he also knew that although his father had given the vassal king great power now, it would gradually be reduced in the future.
And no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, he will inevitably take the path of expropriating vassals. Since he will be expropriated sooner or later, why not lie down early and enjoy life?
As Mr. Ji wrote in his diary, 'I have no other hope in this life. I only hope to have contact with a few more women, women from all over the world...'
Some people may be asking, why don’t you fight for that position yourself? Isn’t it more comfortable to undercut others than to be undercut by others?
Zhu Zhen never thought about this at all. People need to be self-aware.
He has watched several versions of the Jingnan film and television drama. No matter how the screenwriters edit it, without exception, the eldest nephew is always in a situation where the flying dragon rides on his face and loses.
The fourth brother was able to make an extreme comeback from the disadvantage of inevitable defeat, fight back with blood, and achieve the ending of "Happy Forever". It can only be said that he is an invincible son with extra dimensions.
With my small nose, small eyes and appearance, I am just an ordinary person. How can I compete with the Yongle Emperor who is blessed with good fortune? It is easier to hug the fourth brother’s thigh tightly. In the future, my descendants will also enjoy the blessings, wouldn’t it be wonderful?<
/p>
This was his initial idea.
So it doesn’t matter what you study, okay? I’m already a prince. No matter how well I study, at most I’m just an…educated prince.
Don’t you know that pain comes from knowledge? Is ignorance also a kind of happiness?
Being an ignorant prince is definitely much happier than being an educated prince.
~~
But besides the fourth brother, there is also an eldest brother who is also a father-in-law, which makes it difficult for him to go on carelessly.
The eldest brother is the best prince and the best eldest brother. Unfortunately, I don’t know if he is the best emperor...
If we can try to prevent the eldest brother from dying young, that would be the best ending, right?
At least there will be no foreign students from Wala in the position, and the Tumubao incident can be avoided.
Moreover, in his later years, my father would not go on a killing spree to destroy the Ming Dynasty's elite because he was worried about his incompetent grandson.
To put it bluntly, even if the eldest brother wants to cut off the vassalage, it is just a matter of one sentence, and the method will definitely be smarter. He will definitely not be like the eldest nephew, who forced his uncle to burn himself and lose the country.
In that way, the fourth brother can happily serve as the General of the Northern Conquest for the rest of his life, without having to walk the bloody path of his father again...
This new ending, which has never appeared before, looks so beautiful that Zhu Zhen can't help but be ready to move.
Although he knows that it will be very difficult to change history, and it will probably take half a lifetime of hard work, but the result will be nothing more than a mantis trying to control the cart.
But as his relationship with his brothers deepened, he became increasingly unable to resist the urge to give it a try.
~~
What made Zhu Zhen finally make up his mind was the birth of a child.
Of course it's not his child, but his eldest brother's...
On October 27, the seventh year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty Crown Princess Chang was about to give birth.
In order to eliminate the legacy of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and restore the orthodoxy of the Han family, Zhu Yuanzhang established the iron law early on that "the direct elder must be the rightful reserve". Therefore, the birth of this child will mean that the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty throne will continue to the third generation.
!
For Zhu Yuanzhang and the Ming Dynasty, its significance may be second only to Zhu Biao's birth.
In fact, the reason why Empress Ma returned to Beijing early was to welcome the birth of this child.
On the day when the Crown Princess gave birth, the royal family went out in full force. Zhu Yuanzhang took an unprecedented day off and stayed early with Empress Ma outside the dormitory of Chunhe Palace.
Boss Zhu was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. Whenever there was any movement in the dormitory, he would put his feet up and poke his head out, trying to take a look.
"You old man, you are more anxious than your own son being born!" Of course, Queen Ma stopped you.
"Of course, a gentleman embraces his grandson but not his son. Do you understand the next generation?" Zhu Yuanzhang said matter-of-factly: "And that is the eldest grandson of the emperor, the future emperor of Ming Dynasty! Can we not be in a hurry?"
"Are you so sure he is a grandson?" Queen Ma rolled her eyes at him.
"That's definitely true. We dream about a leader every night." Zhu Yuanzhang said without hesitation.
"We have agreed, in case, I mean just in case, if your wish does not come true, don't show your donkey face to others!" Empress Ma reminded him.
"Ah, it's easy to talk about. My daughter-in-law is still so young, she just needs to continue giving birth." Although Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he was not calm anymore. He walked to the ancestor's row alone and prayed silently.
"Father, mother, I must bless you to be a leader..."
After waiting like this for a long time, in the evening, a baby's cry resounded throughout Chunhe Hall.
This cry seemed to have magical power, causing Queen Ma and the concubines to all stand up.
The princes and princesses who were kicked out also rushed in with a roar.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so nervous that his hands were sweating. The last time he was so nervous was the last time, during the Battle of Poyang Lake.
The curtain was opened, and the female medical officer responsible for delivering the baby came out with a face full of joy. She ran to the emperor and presented a piece of jade in her hands!
"Hahahahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang's laughter echoed through the sky.
"What are we talking about? Hahaha! We really have a golden mouth and jade teeth!"
