Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 4 Zhu Yuanzhang: This eldest grandson died too hastily.
  Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated again and again and opened the simulator.

He still wanted to know who he chose to be the emperor after Biao'er died.

[Please select the simulation object. 】

Simulation object one: Zhu Xiongying
  Identity: [The eldest grandson of the emperor] [Prince]

Simulation object two: Zhu Yunwen

Identity: [Emperor’s second grandson] [Grandson] [Emperor] [Monk]

Simulated object three: Zhu Bai
  Identity: [Prince] [Excellent Barbeque]

Compared with the last simulation, this time there was an additional identity of the simulation target, but Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly puzzled.

Zhu Xiongying is the eldest son of Prince Zhu Biao, while Zhu Yunwen is only the second son of a concubine. Even the second son of a concubine has the status of emperor. Why does Zhu Xiongying not even have the status of grandson?
  Could it be that because Zhu Xiongying was too unbearable, he was directly named a prince and then passed the throne to Zhu Yunwen, the second son of a concubine?

Although it doesn't make sense, it can still be explained.

But what is Zhu Yunwen's identity as a "monk"? This career direction is a bit confusing.

As for Zhu Bai, he was the twelfth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. He was filial and sensible. Although he was not the daughter of Empress Ma, he was quite loved by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's just... what the hell is Bai'er's [Excellent Barbeque] identity?

Isn't it okay for a good prince to sell barbecue?

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was full of doubts, but he could only impersonate one person's identity at a time. After much hesitation, he chose Zhu Xiongying's identity as [the eldest grandson of the emperor] and chose to impersonate.

After all, this is his current favorite heir to the throne.

There must be no hope for Biao'er, he died too early. If Zhu Yuanzhang wants his eldest son to become emperor, the only way is to commit suicide immediately. As long as he, the father, dies quickly enough, Zhu Biao can ascend the throne and inherit the throne.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought: Speaking of which, it is because we have lived too long, otherwise Biao'er would not have failed to become the emperor.

We really deserve to die!
  While he was thinking wildly, the simulation began.

[On October 27, the seventh year of Hongwu, you were born in Yingtian Mansion. Your identity is the eldest son of Prince Zhu Biao. 】

[On the first day of May in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, you died. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang：6
  A big question mark appeared on his head.

Now Lao Zhu finally understands why Zhu Xiongying, the emperor's eldest grandson, no longer has the status of a grandson.

According to the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" he wrote: "The eldest son of the crown prince is the grandson of the emperor, and the second son and concubine are all granted the title of county king at the age of ten, and are awarded gold-plated silver books and silver seals."

In other words, Zhu Xiongying had to live to be ten years old before he could be canonized. But he only lived to be eight years old, and there was no chance of him being canonized at all. At most, he would treat his status as the emperor's eldest grandson as a prince and posthumously title him a prince.

The identity of co-author Prince Zhu Xiongying only came after his death!

Why did this great grandson die more hastily than his great son!

Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed.

My eldest grandson has not yet been born, and his death date has been set. Who can accept this reality?
  The eldest son is short-lived, and the eldest grandson is also short-lived. I am afraid that the old Zhu family is breaking a rule of nature!

"Our children and grandchildren all like to die young, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed, "Could it be that Heaven wants to destroy our Ming Dynasty?"

…    In Prince Wu's Mansion, Zhu Zhu sat under the eaves and set up a copper pot to cook mutton. He was enjoying himself and eating it, which made the maids and eunuchs next to him almost cry from greed.

It is said that it is a palace, but in fact it is just a separate courtyard he built next to Xuanwu Lake. Although it is quite elegant, it is far from the specifications of the palace courtyard. After all, he, the prince, has not yet become a vassal.

But Zhu Xi didn't care about this. He was used to being easy-going and just wanted to be quiet. The reason why the palace was chosen to be located in Xuanwu Lake was, firstly, because it was a royal forbidden area without the hustle and bustle of the city, and secondly, because it was more convenient for fishing.

Just when Zhu Zhu was eating and his mouth was full of oil, a distinguished guest came to the door. A group of maids and eunuchs bowed their heads and saluted: "Your Highness, may you be blessed and safe."

Prince Zhu Biao was wearing a black satin round-collared robe, with majestic features and a dignified demeanor, giving him the air of a young dragon. After seeing Zhu Ju, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Lao Wu, how are you doing lately?"

Zhu Ru swallowed the mutton in his mouth, stood up and saluted: "Brother, why do you have time to come to my place for a walk? You see, I didn't prepare anything in advance. I'm rude and disrespectful. I hope you can forgive me."

Zhu Biao waved his hand: "We brothers don't care about this, we are all one family."

The words "brothers" made the atmosphere warm and ambiguous.

Although there are many princes in the Zhu family, there are only four brothers who are also descended from Queen Ma: the prince, King Qin, King Jin, and King Wu Zhu.

Zhu Rui admired in his heart that he could be a prince. Looking at what he said, he was very capable.

"Brother, you see, I have nothing to entertain you. All the money in my hand was thrown into the Qinhuaihe brothel. How about... sit down and have something to eat?" Zhu Ruo scratched his head in embarrassment.

Zhu Biao did not refuse and sat next to the copper pot. The servant handed over the plate and chopsticks knowingly.

He picked up a chopstick of delicious mutton from the pot and put it into his mouth. The delicious taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue. He couldn't help but admired: "Lao Wu, your cooking skills are getting better and better. You can even scald mutton like this." It’s so delicious, even the royal meal at Guanglu Temple can’t compare to the food here.”

"Brother, please stop laughing at me."

Zhu Tie picked up the jug and poured it into the jade cup, and said humbly, "I can only eat and drink. If it weren't for you, eldest brother, who worked hard to manage the state affairs with the old man, how could we younger brothers be as greedy for pleasure as we are now? This glass of wine I respect you."

He drank the wine in one gulp as a sign of respect.

He is a professional in how to entertain leaders.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chuckled and said: "You kid, you don't know a lot of people. Those who don't know think you are an old fox in the officialdom."

"Don't do it, I won't be willing to join the officialdom even if I die." Zhu Rui said while adding wine to the glass and waving his hand.

Zhu Biao asked curiously: "As you say, have you really been in officialdom?"

Zhu Xi smiled and said nothing, with an imperceptible vicissitude in his eyes.

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. We brothers don't talk about the roundabout things." Zhu Tong said. Based on his city, it is not difficult to guess that His Highness the Prince came with Shang Fang's sword.

As expected, Zhu Biao slowly spoke: "I am sending a message on behalf of the old man and the queen, congratulations to you."

"Congratulations to me?" Zhu Ru felt a little confused.

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Congratulations, you are getting married."

"What the hell?"

Zhu Ru was stunned.

"Huh?" In the world of his mind, Cao Cao's personality came to him after smelling it. "Who is getting married? Where is the wife?"
