Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 79 King Wu of Zhou

[Although the vassal kings are all domineering in their own fiefdoms and have heavy troops, but under the emperor, they are like little white rabbits and are harmless to humans and animals. Who dares to rebel? 】

[In this way, you, your eldest brother Zhu Gaochi, and your third brother Zhu Gaosui came to the capital as hostages. 】

[As soon as you arrived in the capital, you were put under house arrest. The place of house arrest was at the bank of Xuanwu Lake, where Wu King Zhu Rui lived before becoming a vassal. 】

[There are two other people imprisoned here, the two sons of Wu King Zhu Ju. 】

[Zhu Youjin, the eldest son of King Wu, and Zhu Youyu, the youngest son of King Wu. 】

[Although we live in the same courtyard, you and the two sons of King Wu have nothing in common. 】

[The Crown Prince of Wu, Zhu Youjin, seems to you to be a complete nerd. He shuts himself in his study all day long. Even if he eats, he doesn’t come with you. He just asks his servants to send him to his room. On the rare occasions when you see him, his handsome and thin face looks very pale, cold and gloomy because he has not seen the sun all year round. 】

[On the other hand, King Wu’s second son, Zhu Youyu, is only a three-year-old kid. You really have nothing to talk about with a kid. 】

Lao Zhu smiled.

Zhu Gaoxu is still too young.

Now you feel that Zhu Youyu is a child and has nothing to talk about. When Zhu Youyu grows up in a few years, he will let you know what it means to be unreachable.

Do you understand the value of the posthumous title "King of Wu"?

Throughout ancient and modern times, there are only nine people with the posthumous title of King of Wu. Excluding the first King of Wu, Ji Fa, the two Sima clans in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the small country of Bohai, there are only five "Kings of Wu" in the true sense.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were two martial kings, King Wu of Chu Xiong Tong and King Wu of Qin Ying Dang. One created the hegemony of Chu State, and the other carried up the Jiuding of the state.

The Eastern Han Dynasty also had two kings of Wu, King Wu of Qi Liu Yan and King Wu of Wei Cao Cao.

The name of Qi Wu King Liu Yan is not very famous in history, but he is also a fierce man.

The fierce brother has a nickname called "Zhutiandubu". He is the eldest brother of Liu Xiu. He conquered here and there and recruited more than 100,000 people, which scared Wang Mang. When the brothers are put together, our family fortune is like this. Is it time to establish an emperor to come forward?

The macho guy said yes, okay, but in the end, the boss of the company that he worked hard for was not him. The partners in the company felt that the macho guy was too fierce, so fierce that it scared them. It wasn't over yet. As Brother Macho's reputation became more and more popular, the partners of the company became more and more frightened, so they found excuses to kill Brother Macho's younger brother, and by the way, he also took away the thousands of people under his command.

The macho brother couldn't deal with this, so he thought of going to the boss to ask what was going on, but then he was also killed.

The strong man who couldn't even kill Wang Mang was beaten to death by his own people. After Liu Xiu became emperor, he posthumously named his good eldest brother Qi Wu Gong, and later he was promoted to Qi Wu King.

In addition to these four, there was another King of Wu, Li Keyong in the Five Dynasties. He became famous in the army at the age of fifteen, occupied Yunzhou at the age of sixteen, and became the leader of the Liuhu in the north at the age of seventeen. He was called "a king of the late Tang Dynasty". "Brother", his "Yu'er Army" and "Thirteen Taibao" still look dazzling to this day.

Zhu Youyu was the last King Wu and was the "King Wu of Zhou" throughout the whole process.

It is not unusual for Zhou kings, and there are several Wu kings, but it is very strange for these two to be connected together.

Before Zhu Youyu, there was only Ji Fa, the son of King Wen of Zhou.

King Wu defeated Zhou, destroyed Shang and established Zhou. The reason why he is the king is because when Ji Fa founded the country, it was a thousand years before Ying Zheng was born. At that time, the word emperor did not exist.

Although Zhu Youyu's posthumous title was King Wu of Zhou, in fact, in the eyes of all the monarchs and ministers of the Chenghua Dynasty at that time, this regent who had experienced nine dynasties and nine emperors was actually no different from the emperor. He was crowned "King Wu of Zhou" and the emperor. This is a manifestation of the high respect that the emperors and ministers of the Chenghua Dynasty had for Zhu Youyu.

Throughout the ages, have there been four kings who took charge of state affairs?

As long as Zhu Youyu had any intention of becoming an emperor, let alone Emperor Chenghua who was helped by him, he could become emperor as early as when he helped Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu ascend the throne.

He wanted to be emperor at that time, who could stop him? All the generals who could be defeated by the imperial court were tricked and killed by Zhu Qizhen in Tumu Fort. At that time, the only person capable of stopping Zhu Youyu was Yu Qian, who was still his close disciple.

At that time, everyone wanted to make Zhu Youyu the emperor, and Yu Qian was probably thinking the same way. Zhu Qizhen became a god in a battle at Tumubao. The ministers were all heartbroken. They had no hope for Taizong's descendants and hoped that Zhu Youyu, the son of Chengzu, would become the emperor. But they were unwilling.

His father, Chengzu Emperor Wu, had been in power for more than 20 years and had no intention of becoming an emperor. He was still a posthumous emperor. He doesn't want anything his father doesn't want. Whoever wants to be the emperor can be the emperor.

Young Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how much potential the three-year-old child he looked down on had.

If Zhu Yuanzhang remembers correctly, in the excessive simulation, Zhu Gaoxu appeared three times as the king of Han Dynasty, but he was suppressed by Zhu Youyu each time.

The first time was when Emperor Taizong Zhu Di died.

Zhu Gaoxu: I’m going to do it!

Zhu Youyu: Squat there!

The second time was when Renzong Zhu Gaochi died.

Zhu Gaoxu: I’m so fucking hot again!

Zhu Youyu: Try moving another one!

The third time was shortly after Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne.

Zhu Gaoxu: I’m fucking hot again!

Zhu Youyu: Why aren't you done yet... Forget it, just go die.

Then Zhu Gaoxu died.

[It’s very boring for you to stay here in Prince Wu’s Mansion. 】

[Except for the servants, there are only four people in the courtyard besides you. The Crown Prince of Wu, Zhu Youjin, is a nerd, and your eldest brother is also a nerd. King Wu's youngest son Zhu Youyu is a little kid, and the only one who can play with you for a while is your third brother Zhu Gaosui. 】

[You have an active nature and an unrestrained personality. You couldn't stay in this yard at all, so you just wanted to go out for fun. Not long after, you sneaked to the Qinhuai River with your third brother. 】

[The King of Wu and your father have a very good relationship. As early as when you were in Peking, you often heard your father talking about this uncle and recounting the past when he and the King of Wu were together. Calluses almost grew in your ears. The most talked about among these past events is that your father and King Wu were fishing by the Xuanwu Lake and drinking wine on the Qinhuai River. 】

[You have no interest in Xuanwu Lake. A boring sport like fishing is not suitable for you at all. The Qinhuai River, on the other hand, was something you wanted to check out when you were in Peiping. 】

[You wonder what the difference is between this girl from Qinhuai River and the girl from Peiping, so you take your third child and sneak away from the eyes of the guards sent by Emperor Jianwen to monitor you, and run all the way to Qinhuai River. 】

[But you never thought that this run would lead to disaster. 】
