Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's worried gaze, a new picture appeared on the simulator.

In the newly appeared picture, the five old men have already arrived in Yunnan.

The fifth brother, who was demoted to a commoner this time, was still not idle.

Although he was in a good mood, it seemed that he was quite different from when he was exiled to Yunnan during the Hongwu period.

But Lao Wu was still there looking for medical treatment, identifying medicinal materials, and visiting some local doctors.

Find some corresponding prescriptions to cure diseases and treat people.

At the same time, he made additions and deletions to the "Pocket Prescriptions" that he had ordered people to compile in the 23rd year of Hongwu when he was exiled to Yunnan.

The more perfect it becomes, the more prescriptions are recorded.

After seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sniff.

I feel relieved and heartbroken at the same time.

This guy Laowu is really pure.

I really like medicine.

As I was thinking this, the picture kept flashing.

Soon, many pictures appeared one after another.

The pictures you see are basically all related to medicine.

Either they were there to cure diseases and save lives, or they went up the mountain to collect herbs themselves, or they were instructing some people on how to treat patients.

Solve some difficult and complicated problems.

It can be seen that Lao Wu at this time has made greater progress in medical skills compared to when he first came to Yunnan.

After a while, in the new scene that appeared, King Zhu Su of Zhou couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He sighed at this time because he received relevant news that his fourth brother had successfully become emperor!

And the eldest nephew Zhu Yunwen also died.

Now, please let the new emperor, Fourth Brother, go back.

He directly issued an edict in the capacity of emperor to pardon all his sins.

His title of King of Zhou was restored again, and his fiefdom remained in the original place...

Zhu Su sat here, not as ecstatic as he had imagined.

Instead, he sat here in silence for a long time.

Finally, I couldn't help but sigh...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lao Wu's reaction and couldn't help but sigh.

He could feel the complexity of Lao Wu's mood.

I can also understand why Lao Wu’s mood is so complicated.

When family affection and power are mixed together.

Many things make people feel awkward.

It's also quite confusing.

After all, he was the emperor and had experienced this feeling a long time ago.

For example, the enfeoffment of his sons.

He hoped that each of his sons could become successful and enjoy the benefits brought to them by him as an emperor father.

But for the inheritance of the throne and to maintain the stability of the country.

Later, he had to make some considerations and impose restrictions on his other sons.

To prevent something bad from happening between them.

Born in the royal family and occupying this position, one has great power, but if one really wants to be a good emperor, one needs to endure a lot of pain...

Only those who bear the disgrace of the country can be the masters of the country!

The high seat is not that comfortable to sit in.

Especially the more you want to achieve something, the harder it becomes.

As he was thinking this, a new picture emerged again.

This time, it was already the first year of Yongle.

Lao Wu paid homage to Zhu Di, who was wearing a dragon robe.

Zhu Di happily reached out his hand and helped him up.

Let him not be so polite.

The two brothers expressed their brotherhood here and kept scolding Zhu Yunwen for being a beast.

But although the two brothers were trying hard to liven up the atmosphere.

They were all talking about the past days.

But the atmosphere is still different after all.

Some things still happened, things still changed.

The days that have passed are gone and can never go back to the way they were.

The fourth brother in front of him has become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, in addition to these, there is a bigger reason, which is that the throne of the fourth brother was not obtained from his father.

Although it is called the Fengtian Jingnan Campaign, everyone actually knows it.

This was seized by force, not a legitimate succession.

Even that bastard Zhu Yunwen was a particularly inhuman person, and some of the things he did were very inappropriate.

But, really speaking, this is not in compliance with etiquette.

This became a thorn in Zhu Di's heart.

When the two brothers get along, it seems a bit awkward...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked silent.

As he was thinking this, a new picture soon emerged.

It was Lao Wu who returned to his fiefdom again and came to the Prince Zhou's Palace.

Compared with before, Lao Wu is more cautious and careful.

He is more cautious than his biological father was when he was emperor.

Moreover, he did not ask about anything. All affairs in Prince Zhou's Palace were handled by the corresponding people under him.

What he likes to do most is medical matters.

From this we can see that Lao Wu is still very sensible.

Although he and the fourth brother are brothers.

Moreover, they are the only two brothers left who share the same mother.

However, the necessary sense of propriety has not been lost.

He didn’t act recklessly.

Lao Wu is a very wise guy.

After experiencing many things, Lao Wu has become more mature.

What makes him mature is not just his medical skills, but also his interpersonal skills and other aspects.

Sure enough, going through these hardships can bring people great progress.

It can make people grow rapidly.

Many times, growth is often accompanied by some pain.

The process was not pleasant.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this, a new picture soon appeared on the simulator.

In the new scene, Lao Wu left the Prince Chu's Palace and came to the fields.

Study the various vegetation carefully.

In addition, a lot of plants were cooked and tasted personally.

He took this matter very seriously.

It looks like Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this was Lao Wu looking for medicine again.

However, the subsequent operations once again surprised Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because he was only half right.

What Lao Wu is doing is indeed tasting herbs.

But that’s not all.

Some of them have been proven to have medicinal properties.

But others can be used as food.

It can be used as medicine and also as food.

Most of these wild vegetables are not very delicious.

It can even be classified as a weed.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Lao Wu to try it, as someone else would have eaten it long ago.

Although these things taste bad, they are not poisonous and can at least be eaten. Especially in times of disaster, they can be used to save lives.

The fifth brother not only did this himself, but also used the influence and power of the vassal king.

Many people followed suit.

In just one year, he had tasted all the vegetation he could see here.

Then, some wild vegetables that people did not often eat in the past were collected and compiled into a book.

Record their appearance and characteristics.

And have people promote it externally.

Mainly tell ordinary people.

Lao Wu named the book "Herbal Medicine for Famine Relief".

From the name of this thing, you can tell what Lao Wu’s real intention is in compiling these things.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and nodded repeatedly.

I think what Lao Wu did is very good.

He agreed very much and while he was satisfied, it also gave him a lot of inspiration.

He felt that maybe he could ask someone to do this next.

Let people taste the wild grasses and vegetables from all over the country to find out their characteristics.

All the wild grasses that are not commonly eaten but will not cause poisoning after eating and can be used to satisfy hunger were found and compiled into a book.

Then spread the word to people.

In this way, if there really is a year of famine, some people may be able to benefit from it.

Although now, because of the appearance of Mei Yin, a good son-in-law, his Ming Dynasty has become very different from before.

In addition, we have sweet potatoes and corn, two very good crops, and potatoes will appear in the future.

Stomach problems will be well solved in the future.

However, the Ming Dynasty was too big.

There are just too many people.

It is not easy to promote all these in a short period of time and prevent people from going hungry.

What's more, there are so many floods and droughts.

These all need to be considered.

Being able to achieve what he wants to see, no one going hungry, or even lower, no one starving to death, is not easy.

This is especially true during years of famine.

So if I could learn from Lao Wu's experience, I could ask someone to sort out all the edible wild vegetables.

Inform the people.

Then, perhaps more lives can be saved through this method.

Even if only a few people can save their lives because of this, it is worth it.

At that moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to do so.

I really didn't expect that this guy actually did such a meaningful thing.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this, the images on the simulator flashed one after another.

Soon, another scene caught Zhu Yuanzhang's interest.

This time, someone came from the palace.

Zhu Di, the elder brother who became emperor, scolded the fifth brother.

It is said that Lao Wu did many illegal things in his fiefdom.

The fifth brother remained silent for a long time when faced with the scolding from his own brother.

He then wrote a letter to apologize.

His words were very sincere and his attitude of admitting mistakes was particularly good.

But Zhu Yuanzhang could see clearly that the fifth brother had not done anything wrong.

After experiencing many things, Lao Wu has become very cautious.

Moreover, his greatest interest is in seeking medical treatment and medicine.

I put a lot of energy into this.

Where is the time to do those things?
But Lao Wu still admitted his mistake.

From the subsequent pictures in the simulator, it can be seen that the fourth brother was very happy after receiving the letter of apology from the fifth brother.

He also issued a special decree to praise the fifth brother.

Then, taking the fifth prince as an example, the rest of the princes were reprimanded and regulated in certain ways.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he suddenly understood why the fourth brother had done this.

This guy just wants to continue to take action against the princes.

However, you have to find a reason.

So he turned his attention to Lao Wu.

The fifth brother is his biological brother, and on the other hand, he is the oldest and most senior among the existing princes.

He is the biological son of himself and his sister.

Therefore, no matter from which perspective, the fifth brother is now the leader of the vassal kings.

After taking action against the fifth brother, it will be smooth to take action against the rest of the people.

This guy, Lao Si, really has everything under his belt.

I just wronged Lao Wu...

While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this, a new picture appeared on the simulator.

In the new scene, Lao Wu once again gathered people together and started compiling the medical book.

In addition to summarizing the prescriptions, many errors will also be corrected...

It can be said that it has made a great contribution to the development of medical technology.

As for the fifth brother, he also has a good reputation in his fiefdom.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and nodded repeatedly.

I think it’s great that Laowu has such a hobby.

If he didn't have such an interest or hobby, he would have been devastated by the many hardships he had to go through after becoming a vassal king.

Having such a hobby can attract a lot of his energy and thoughts to it.

Don't let him have wild thoughts.

At the same time, this once again made Zhu Yuanzhang pay more attention to the issue of vassal kings.

He knew that after the fourth brother came to power, he would continue to reduce the power of the vassal states.

Now, looking at these things from Lao Wu's perspective, he has a clearer understanding of what the lives of the princes will be like.

I also feel that this matter is more and more difficult to handle.

He felt more and more that the idea that Mei Yin had suggested before, which was to make him a vassal king, was really a good one.

Otherwise, with Lao Wu's personality, he would still live such a miserable life.

Not to mention the other vassal kings.

As Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this, a new picture soon emerged one after another.

After a while, it was already the first decade of the Yongle reign.

Someone exposed Lao Wu and said he was rebelling.

The one who exposed him was Lao Wu's bodyguard.

Lao Wu was so scared that his face turned pale.

Then, he immediately wrote a letter to express his willingness to exchange the three guards of the vassal king and set an example for the world...

After reading all this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

The interweaving of family affection and imperial power is really uncomfortable.

Does the fourth brother really have no brotherly love for the fifth brother?
Have!
But the fourth brother is an emperor, and there are some things he must do.

What's more, by this time, the fourth brother is not young anymore.

We also need to consider some things for future generations.

So at this time, recruit the three guards of the vassal king from Lao Wu.

Taking away the military power is reasonable.

But, it still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

As Zhu Yuanzhang was expressing his emotion, several scenes flashed before his eyes.

The fifth brother sat there and sighed. It turned out that the fourth brother's people were gone...

After a few more scenes, Lao Wu's life also came to an end, at the age of 65...

After reading about Lao Wu’s life, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while.

Have someone summon Lao Wu to see him...
