Chapter 659 Judy's Nephews
Chapter 659 Judy's Nephews
In other times and spaces, royal secrets have always been a source of great curiosity. So when the people heard this, they were like wild boars that had fallen into a melon patch, their cheeks trembling and their eyes filled with the excitement of "getting a piece of melon."
The group seemed even more excited than Old Zhu himself, with three or five people gathered together, discussing the matter enthusiastically.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the imperial family, so heartless! So ruthless!"
"The younger generation also said that the Zhu family values relationships. But in our opinion, they're all the same. It's just a pity for those kids!"
"I don't want to be watched over by others for generations. I'd rather be free to work!"
"Big brother's in a bad situation! Weren't they supposed to have a good brotherly relationship?!"
"Looking at it this way, it seems like Zhao Guangyi from the Song Dynasty was more righteous?!"
"Garlic birds, garlic birds, they're protected from the wind and rain, and they don't have any taxes or corvée labor. We're the ones who are worse off!"
The others: "...You talk too much..."
"Hey, hey...why did you guys leave! Aren't you going to chat anymore?! Oh, why are you taking pictures of me?!"
The group of people who carried the stools back were cursing and swearing. Damn it, that really hurt. They all wanted to slap themselves. How dare they feel sorry for the emperor's relatives!
……
The live stream is ongoing:
"Looking at Zhu Di's other brothers, all of whom were deposed and imprisoned during the Jianwen reign, they were all restored to their thrones. After Judy ascended the throne, these people all paid homage to him, probably to show: Fourth Brother, we only respect you and want to follow you!"
"But Judy has more than just nephews, like the King of Qin's son. But overall, unless they do something really stupid, they're doing pretty well."
"However, Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang, dared to commission dragon robes and a dragon bed even when his elder brother had passed away and his own father was still alive. His son, Zhu Shangbing, has become a great monster, overstepping his bounds by addressing his father and mother as such, or displaying an arrogant attitude, and so on."
"In the end, it wasn't a big deal. With his death, the title fell to a child, and the power of the Prince of Qin's mansion was gradually weakened, posing no great threat."
During the Hongwu era, Emperor Zhu gave Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang, a sound beating. What a useless brat! He didn't know his place, daring to wear an imperial robe! He couldn't even act like a proper person!
Everyone present could see that there was no way to dissuade him; the King of Qin had indeed acted too recklessly, not only disregarding human life in his fiefdom but also setting his sights on the crown prince's position.
Alas, of all the Qin kings throughout history, it seems only our Ming dynasty king is somewhat incompetent!
The King of Qin grimaced in pain, while the King of Jin grinned foolishly. Anyway, it wasn't him who was being hit. He was just watching his second brother in pain.
Little did he know, the next round of excitement would be his turn.
"Judy also has a brother—Prince Zhu Gang of Jin. Many people know that the third and fourth brothers don't get along and even fought over the orchard. In the end, the matter came to the attention of Prince Zhu. It can be said that neither of them is willing to submit to the other."
“The Prince of Jin went down first, and Judy didn’t let him off the hook either. As mentioned before, in the Record of the Jingnan Rebellion in Fengtian, the Prince of Jin’s image is not good, such as deserting in the face of battle.”
"As for his sons, they can only pay for their father's sins. For example, his eldest son, Zhu Jixi, is different from other second-generation princes. He is quite capable and was raised by Emperor Zhu and Empress Ma. He can't be bad!"
"Even the emperor wouldn't trust a nephew like that, let alone the princes. Zhu Di will definitely learn from Zhu Yunwen's mistake and adopt a more moderate strategy, after all, that lesson was quite serious!"
"Therefore, Zhu Di chose to divide these nephews of the Prince of Jin from within. Among them, Zhu Jihuang was already dissatisfied with his elder brother, and seemed to have a good relationship with the Prince of Han. His father-in-law was Li Jinglong."
"In order to please Zhu Di, Zhu Jihuang framed Zhu Jixi several times. Judy herself also disliked him. For example, she assigned the guards of the Prince of Jin's mansion to Zhu Jixi's other brothers. In short, nothing Zhu Jixi did was right. In the end, he broke down and collapsed."
"Then he went to Judy and reported: 'Fine, I don't need these guards anymore. My fourth uncle suspects me so much!' Then Judy was heartbroken and said: '
"We're uncle and nephew, how could you misunderstand me like that? Do you think I want your Prince Jin's guards?!"
Judy: Isn't there any trust between an uncle and nephew?
Wan Chaozhongren (?????): I don't believe you! That old geezer is really bad!
