After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

[What's the meaning of this character "朱"? How do you pronounce it? Is it an idiot?]

[Pretty much. They're probably dissatisfied with the crown prince, feeling that he shouldn't be the one to inherit the position.]

[He's truly ruthless; he's willing to risk everything and bring people down.]

[Zhu Di's successful rebellion was due to a confluence of favorable timing, geographical advantages, and popular support.]

At this moment, King Zhu Su of Zhou looked at the sky and felt dizzy. His son was really a good son!

Not to mention Zhu Su himself, even his father and brothers had indescribable expressions. His second brother, Zhu Shuang, patted him on the shoulder in comfort, saying, "Fifth brother, this son... we can't keep him!"

Zhu Su thought so too; there probably wouldn't be another son like that, so he'd just put the body on the wall.

Wipe the sweat.

"Fourth brother, come here." Zhu Yuanzhang beckoned to Zhu Di, and a strange, twisted smile suddenly appeared on his usually gloomy face.

"However!" Zhu Di shook his head wildly. He knew exactly what his father was up to; his hand was practically reaching for his toes.

"I'm your father, how could I hit you?" Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands and looked at him kindly.

Zhu Di cautiously approached, but not completely. Just like in his future battles, he quickly bypassed Zhu Yuanzhang's front and went to the back.

"After the Prince of Zhou was stripped of his title, Emperor Jianwen soon began to target his other uncles."

“The three princes of Qi, Xiang, and Dai were stripped of their titles and reduced to commoners. Zhu Yunwen originally intended to punish the Prince of Xiang for treason, but instead forced the Prince of Xiang to commit suicide.”

"Finally, the King of Xiang will be given the derogatory posthumous title 'Li', and will be called the King of Xiang Li."

At this moment, a series of clips from movies and TV shows began to play on the sky.

In the scene, the Prince of Xiang is dressed in full robes, riding a white horse, and shouting, "I am a descendant of Emperor Gaozu, how can I be humiliated by barbarians?"

Amidst raging flames, the Prince of Xiang laughed loudly, leaping into the fire, his entire figure instantly engulfed by the flames.

From that time on, Zhu Bai was no more in the world.

Under the sky, the ancients felt that tragedy and indignation, and they all cursed Zhu Yunwen, the nephew who forced his own uncle to death.

He is simply not worthy of being a human being.

"Little Twelfth! It's your elder brother's fault!" Zhu Biao felt a pang of guilt as he looked at his younger brothers, who all seemed to be feeling something, staring blankly at the sky with slightly red eyes.

Although not all of them got along well with Zhu Bai, it was inevitable that they would feel a sense of shared sorrow.

Zhu Di was also a man of deep feelings and true character, and now he couldn't help but feel resentful, "It's not my elder brother's fault, it's all Zhu Yunwen's fault. Father, tell me, given all this, how can we not rebel?"

"Now that the fourth prince has become emperor, the second prince is unhappy, but the second prince supports you." Zhu Shuang and Zhu Di were not actually enemies, but his words now were sincere.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say something, but when he looked at the sky, everything went dark. When he looked at Zhu Di again, he could only sigh deeply.

“Zhu Bai loved learning from a young age and was a man of both literary and martial talents. He was also very reasonable and filial. Once, Zhu Yuanzhang gave his sons a jade belt and asked them to put it on and turn around to look at him. Only Zhu Bai said, ‘One cannot betray one’s sovereign and father.’”

"Compared to the Prince of Qin, Zhu Shuang, who committed numerous evils in his fiefdom, amassed wealth, separated married women, enjoyed castrating young boys, and even dared to wear the emperor's and empress's robes with his concubine, Lady Deng, as well as the cruel Prince of Jin, Zhu Wang, and several other vassal princes, the Prince of Xiang had a much better reputation and it was a pity that he died."

"Hehehe, second brother, you're really something. Our descendants even specifically chose you to talk about. Wearing dragon robes, probably sleeping on a dragon bed, and sitting on a dragon throne, right?" Old Zhu was now furious. A furious person can say anything. What a sarcastic and bizarre thing to say.

The third son was almost laughing when Zhu Yuanzhang turned and glared at him, saying, "Third son, you're no better than me!"

"I think you shouldn't go out to take up your fiefs. You should stay under our noses. If you dare to cause trouble, we'll make sure your father and mother never have a moment's peace even after they die!" Zhu Yuanzhang said sternly.

"How could it have come to this!" The scene above the sky inevitably reminded Li Shimin of the killing of his brothers at Xuanwu Gate, and also of the time he spent with his brothers when he was young. He sighed deeply.

"Rebel! Such an unpopular emperor must be rebelled against!" Liu Che felt frustrated as he watched the scene of the Prince of Xiang burning himself in the sky. Especially now that the Xiongnu were frequently plundering the border people, he estimated that the vassal kings would rebel later. He would probably not be able to get his revenge until then.

"The death of the Prince of Xiang completely changed the political landscape of the early Ming Dynasty. The princes lost their sense of luck, and a few months later Zhu Di launched a rebellion to quell the rebellion. Before Zhu Di launched the rebellion, he was under close surveillance by Zhu Yunwen."

According to the History of Ming, Zhu Di began to feign madness in the summer of the first year of the Jianwen reign. For example, he would sit by the stove in the sweltering heat, shivering, talking nonsense, shouting wildly, and stealing food from people everywhere...

Some film and television footage also began to play on the sky screen.

Zhu Di, warming himself by the stove, uttered his classic line, "I'm freezing to death—"

In one scene, a disheveled Zhu Di ran around the street shouting and yelling, then rushed into a pigsty and started fighting with the pigs for food, eating it in large mouthfuls. The servant who had come to investigate him immediately thought he had really gone mad and lowered his guard.

Just looking at the sky makes one feel very uncomfortable, especially the part where you're fighting with pigs for food.

The swill and other unknown substances mixed together made one feel nauseous just looking at it.

Second brother: "Fourth brother, you're too ruthless to yourself! How could you do this to yourself?"

The second and third brothers nodded in unison, realizing that they probably wouldn't have been able to do it themselves.

The third brother asked, somewhat puzzled, "Fourth brother, did you really eat shit?"

Zhu Di: "..." He was clearly angry, but he couldn't vent his anger.

He looked at his eldest brother Zhu Biao and said, "Elder brother, when you become emperor, I will be the first to support you in reducing the power of the princes, starting with my second and third brothers!"

"Oh my, fourth brother, you're really something." Zhu Yuanzhang started being sarcastic again. It wasn't that he didn't think Zhu Biao was qualified, but hearing Zhu Di's words made him so angry he almost died.

The second and third brothers quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right! We've been speaking up for you!"

"Zhu Di launched the Jingnan Campaign under the pretext of purging corrupt officials from the court. At first, he only occupied a small corner of the country and was weak and powerless. The court planned to launch a joint attack from different directions, but Zhu Di retreated and swept away the area around Beiping, eliminating any worries about his rear."

"At that time, the court had no more generals to send, so it appointed Geng Bingwen as the general and led the army to attack Yan," Zhu Qinggu added.

Geng Bingwen wasn't exactly an outstanding general, so how could he be of any use... Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that he would definitely kill those arrogant generals in order for Zhu Yunwen to ascend the throne smoothly.
