Ming Dynasty: Ask Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 63 You have to shoulder the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty!
I had been brewing my emotions for so long, and now my tears were pouring out like a flood breaking through a dam.

He tried his best to keep his mind focused and just cried loudly, looking extremely sad.

All the ministers in the hall looked at each other in surprise.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the dragon throne, walked down from the high platform, and took his hand: "Huan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Yunhuan raised his face crying, his face full of tear marks and his eyes were red. He softly called out "Grandpa Emperor" and then cried even more sadly.

Old Zhu sighed, hugged him in his arms, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

next to.

Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he almost stamped his feet.

Still careless.

He was only concerned with how to convict Lan Yu and how to kill all the nobles and generals who supported Zhu Yunhuan.

I was so nervous and focused on the struggle that I even forgot to act like a filial son.

He was not careful for a moment and was taken advantage of by Zhu Yunhuan.

It's a little too late to make amends now.

I could only squeeze out a few tears in panic and pretend to be sad.

"Good boy, don't cry." Old Zhu patted Zhu Yunhuan's back gently and said, "You weren't this sad when your father just passed away. What's wrong with you today?"

Zhu Yunhuan's heart trembled.

Before Zhu Biao died, neither he nor Zhu Yunwen had much contact with Zhu.

Without him.

Because of their eldest brother, Zhu Xiongying was brought to Empress Ma since he was a child and raised personally by Zhu and Empress Ma.

Old Zhu loved his eldest grandson very much.

Love him as much as you love Zhu Biao!

But Zhu Xiongying died unexpectedly.

Since then, Old Zhu rarely saw Zhu Biao's other sons.

So that when I see them, I won’t think of Zhu Xiongying and feel sad in vain.

Moreover, he raised Zhu Xiongying personally, but an accident happened.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very guilty, so he deliberately distanced himself from Zhu Biao's other sons.

To prevent them from having any more accidents!
Sometimes Lao Zhu is fearless and refuses to believe in evil!
But there are some things that are a bit particular.

For example, after Zhu Xiongying died, he tried his best not to contact any of his grandchildren.

Without contact, there is no understanding.

It was not until the funeral after Zhu Biao's death that the two men left different impressions in Zhu's mind.

Zhu Yunwen was extremely sad, while Zhu Yunhuan seemed completely indifferent.

His father died, but he didn't seem sad at all.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang began to think that Zhu Yunwen was a filial son and Zhu Yunhuan was an unfilial descendant.

It was also for this reason that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to make Zhu Yunwen the crown prince instead of Zhu Yunhuan.

You know, the most important reason for skipping his son and making his grandson the crown prince was actually Zhu Yuanzhang's deep love for Zhu Biao.

Otherwise, even if Zhu Biao was gone, Zhu had other sons, so the second son should be made the heir instead of the grandson!
Since ancient times, there has been no reason to skip sons and establish grandsons!
It doesn't make sense from the perspective of etiquette.

Although Lao Zhu did not like Confucianism, he was a very law-abiding person.

But in this matter, he just refused to keep his promise!

Zhu Yuanzhang always believed that his throne should be passed on to Zhu Biao's son.

The throne originally belonged to Zhu Biao.

He was originally Zhu Biao's son.

We cannot deprive Zhu Biao’s son of the right to inherit the throne just because of his death.

Zhu Yunwen, who was the most filial to Zhu Biao, naturally became the top priority heir.

The original body was already far behind in this regard.

Actually, it’s not his fault.

The most important point is that the original body was still a teenager, and his mother was dead!

A child with a mother is a treasure, a child without a mother is a weed.

Lu raised him and treated him well on the surface, but in fact she had no good intentions.

For example, when Zhu Biao was seriously ill, Lu deliberately arranged for Zhu Yunwen to serve him day and night, while letting Zhu Yunhuan go out to play.

After Zhu Biao died, Lu's repeated instructions made Zhu Yunwen extremely sad. He cried desperately and even refused to eat or drink.

But he advised Zhu Yunhuan not to be sad, and to play, eat, drink and sleep.

The intention is obvious.

His original body was young and ignorant, and it was only after he traveled through time that he saw everything clearly.

Hearing Old Zhu's question, Zhu Yunhuan cried and said, "When Daddy first left, I didn't feel sad."

"I always feel that Daddy is still here, still by my side, still watching over me."

"I don't believe he's gone! Grandpa Huang, I don't believe it!"

He cried desperately, his heart was broken.

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment.

Yes!

He was like this when his eldest sister passed away and when his son Zhu Biao passed away.

I didn't feel sad immediately because I didn't believe it at all.

It's like being stupid, he just doesn't believe the facts right in front of him.

In later psychology, this mental state is called personality disintegration.

Also known as sensory integration disorder.

That is, a person's distorted perception of real life after experiencing a major change.

In fact, it is a self-protection mechanism of the human body, which is activated spontaneously by the body to prevent excessive sadness from damaging the body or even causing loss of life.

People in this state will not believe in reality, will not acknowledge reality, will become numb and lose their emotions.

Many people, after suddenly losing their closest relatives, will not feel sad at all in the first few days, and their whole body will be numb.

To outsiders, he looks like a completely normal person and all his behaviors are normal.

I'm just heartless, emotionally numb, and can't feel sadness.

It is easy for outsiders to think that this person is naturally cold and emotionless, and he is not sad even when his closest relatives die!

But in fact, this is a sign of extreme sadness.

It is the instinct of life to protect itself after extreme sadness!

It takes a few days or a period of time to struggle out of this state, and then the sadness bursts out like a flood!

Lao Zhu doesn't understand psychology.

But Lao Zhu personally experienced the pain of losing his wife and son.

When he first heard the news, he was completely numb!

I want to cry, but I can’t!

It seems like he doesn’t even know sadness!
It took me a long time to come back to my senses!

That kind of heart-wrenching sadness suddenly burst out.

Having had personal experience of this himself, Old Zhu immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Yunhuan's words.

"Poor child!" Old Zhu took his head in his arms and hugged him tightly.

It seems that I have always blamed him wrongly.

This child is not heartless or cold-hearted by nature, and is not indifferent to his father's death.

It's because I'm too sad and too upset that I can't get out of it and I live like a walking corpse.

No emotions, neither sad nor happy.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, he seemed to be emotionless. He was not sad at all when his father died. He was unfilial!

It reminds me of the article "My Father" in the Da Ming Daily.

If I didn't have such deep feelings for my father, how could I have written such a straightforward article full of longing?

At this moment, Lao Zhu suddenly understood everything.

He felt guilty and sad.

How much sadness must this child have to be unable to recover from for several months!
Zhu Yunhuan cried intermittently: "When my father was alive, he always hoped that I could be more sensible and take on great responsibilities."

"Daddy thinks I'm too weak."

"I also want to be a good son to my father, so I tell myself over and over again in bed every day to be brave and not be a coward."

"But I never dared."

"I don't dare to do anything. I just dare to lock myself in the room and think about things."

"I want to think about family matters, the court matters, the Ming Dynasty matters, the world matters, and I want to help my father."

"I want to make Dad happy and don't want to disappoint him."

“But I didn’t do anything.”

"I am just a person, thinking and thinking..."

"After thinking about it, I still don't dare to do anything."

"It wasn't until Dad left that I became bold."

"I am no longer a coward, no longer afraid, and no longer scared."

"I dared anything."

"But what's the use!"

"Grandpa Emperor, what's the use of this?"

"Daddy has left. Daddy will never come back. Daddy can't see me anymore!"

"I am unfilial!"

"Woooooooo..."

By the time he was crying, Zhu Yunhuan had thrown himself into the role wholeheartedly and was so immersed in it that he completely forgot whether it was real or fake.

In the eyes of people around him, the more he cried, the sadder he became, and the more upset he became, and his tears burst out like a flood.

All the civil and military officials in the hall were infected by his emotions.

Old Zhu hugged him and kept crying.

No wonder this child's personality has changed so much recently.

More than one person has told Lao Zhu about this matter.

It is said that Zhu Yunhuan was timid and cowardly in the past and would never do something like asking for the position of crown prince in the court.

There must be someone behind this.

However, the intelligence collected by the Jinyiwei and the Inspectors clearly showed that there was no one who instructed him to do this, but that Zhu Yunhuan acted on his own initiative.

This is so strange.

Why did Zhu Yunhuan suddenly change his personality?
How can a timid and cowardly person suddenly become so bold?
Now, Lao Zhu understood, he understood everything!

It turned out that the death of his father was such a heavy blow to the child that it caused his personality to change drastically.

This shows how deep the affection this child has for his father!
What a huge blow his father's death was to him!
It actually caused a drastic change in the child's personality.

I've always thought he was heartless and unfilial!

wrong!

Big mistake!
This child was wronged!
"Good boy, good boy!"

Old Zhu's heart was about to melt.

With tears in his eyes, he comforted her: "Don't cry! Don't cry! The heavy burden of the Ming Dynasty is still waiting for you to shoulder!"

"Your father is still watching you from heaven, you must not let him down."
