Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

"Extra, Extra. The King of Zhao and the King of Han seized power in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials. The Crown Prince and the Grandson have been imprisoned. Where should the Ming Dynasty go? How should the people choose? Read the newspaper now..."

It was just dawn, and the people had not yet recovered from the death of their great emperor when a piece of news that shook the entire world spread in an instant.

"What? The King of Han and the King of Zhao rebelled. What a sin! Your Majesty has worked so hard to establish such a situation. The Crown Prince is kind and virtuous, and the Crown Prince is brave and brave. We are all looking forward to the arrival of good days. Why did this chaos happen again?"

A middle-aged man who was reading a newspaper was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

A man next to him also shook his head and sighed: "It is well known that the King of Han is tyrannical, and the King of Zhao is narrow-minded. If the two of them were allowed to rule the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, which sacrificed countless soldiers to conquer the world, would probably be wiped out."

"Alas, the world is going to be in chaos again. Why can't we just enjoy this good day for just one more day?"

Upon hearing the news, the people complained and expressed their opinions.

But what can they do? The situation is like this and there is nothing ordinary people can do.

But before everyone could digest this news, another explosive piece of news came.

Ning Wang Zhu Quan, under the pretext of Han Wang and Zhao Wang's rebellion, summoned troops from all over the country in the name of saving the crown prince and grandson, and prepared to march to the capital to defend the king.

In Western Europe and other regions, rebels jumped out one after another, shouting to get rid of the oppression of the Ming Dynasty, save their people, and restore their own rule.

In an instant, it seemed as if the world was in chaos, with voices of rebellion and ambitious people everywhere.

At the imperial court, things were in even greater chaos. Officials were considering taking sides, and generals were being won over by countless people, hoping to accomplish great things in the impending chaos.

"That's enough, little brat. If you wait any longer, the world will really be in chaos."

In the Imperial Mausoleum, inside the Shen'en Hall, Fatty Zhu walked back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back.

When I received the news of another rebellion, I could no longer bear it.

Zhu Zhanjun, who was sitting aside reading a book, just raised his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Don't worry, this is just a test from some people, the real big fish is still behind."

According to the intelligence gathered by the Imperial Guards during this period, apart from Prince Ning who was claiming to be righteous, only small forces in other areas such as Western Europe stood out.

Among those former royal family members who were in hiding, only a small number have come forward, while the vast majority are still hiding and watching.

No one is an idiot. The Ming Dynasty has a strong military force and is capable of suppressing these rebellions. If they dare to stand up, they will be the first to be struck dead.

So they were all waiting, waiting for the Ming Dynasty to really fall into chaos, and then taking advantage of the situation.

In the blink of an eye, another week passed. Prince Ning Zhu Quan finally assembled several legions and led his troops northward to rescue the crown prince and grandson whom they called the crown prince.

The army was invincible along the way, and the defending officials and generals surrendered collectively wherever they passed, which made King Ning's ambition even greater.

Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was in such chaos, Western Europe, Persia and other regions finally couldn't bear it anymore and large-scale riots broke out.

They stormed the Ming government offices, attacked the Ming army, and raised the banner of restoring the country and driving out the invaders.

In less than half a month, the whole world was in chaos. It seemed that the Ming army was about to collapse and the empire conquered by Emperor Yongle was about to be destroyed.

"Please ask His Royal Highness the King of Han to ascend the throne and stabilize the overall situation in the world."

In the capital, Zhu Gaoxu, who had been living in the imperial palace these days, listened to the shouting outside and lay on the couch with a look of comfort on his face.

"Oh, it would be great if it were true."

After fantasizing about it in my mind, I said it beautifully.

Zhu Gaosui on the side rolled his eyes and said, "You can take it seriously."

Zhu Gaoxu laughed and waved his hand: "Come on, it's okay to dream about it, but if I really dare to take it seriously, that brat will definitely not show mercy."

After chatting for a while, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Ji Gang next to him and said, "Old Ji, how is it going? Have you finished the statistics? What did that brat say?"

Ji Gang nodded and said, "We have completed the statistics. Although there may still be some hidden ones, most of them have been exposed."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that everyone be gathered in Fengtian Palace tomorrow."

Hearing that he would start the action tomorrow, Zhu Gaoxu stretched and said, "Let's do it sooner and finish it sooner. I'm used to squatting in the west, and I feel a little uncomfortable returning to the capital. I'd better return to my territory and continue to be the king and live comfortably."

Soon, the officials who had defected received the news that the King of Han had changed his mind and summoned everyone to discuss important matters tomorrow.

When the officials heard the news, they were overjoyed. They had finally gotten the credit for following the dragon.

Some people even fantasized about being promoted to higher positions after the King of Han ascended the throne.

With the leak of the news by someone with ulterior motives, it quickly spread throughout the world, and those forces that had been hiding suddenly jumped out.

If the King of Han ascends the throne, the world will soon be stable. If they jump out by then, it will be too late.

In just one day, almost all the original forces in Western Europe, Persia and other regions jumped out.

They united to put pressure on the court to restore their former territory, otherwise they would form a joint army to overthrow the tyrannical Ming Dynasty.

Faced with requests from various forces, Zhu Gaoxu didn't even respond.

His work has been completed. Tomorrow he will hand it over to his eldest brother and nephew. Then he can go back to clean up and continue to act tyrannically in his fiefdom.

Early the next morning, the court officials who had surrendered to Zhu Gaoxu put on new court robes and headed to the main hall, summarizing the words of advice they would give later.

But after being called in and seeing the people sitting there clearly, the excitement on his face instantly turned into dullness.

Zhu Pangpang sat in the first seat, Zhu Zhanjun sat next to him, the throne was hanging there empty, without the figure of the King of Han they were expecting. And their King of Han was sitting on a stool under the stairs, grinning at them.

In an instant, many people felt a jolt in their hearts and thought to themselves that something bad had happened.

Sure enough, Fatty Zhu didn't waste any words with them. He raised his hand and waved it. Yang Shiqi, with a sneer on his face, unfolded an imperial edict in front of all the civil and military officials.

"The late emperor left his will, and all the ministers must obey!"

The civil and military officials knelt on the ground with trepidation in their hearts.

Yang Shiqi began to read the edict. At the beginning, the old man reviewed his life, the difficulties he faced during the Jingnan Campaign, the hardships he endured in protecting the Ming Dynasty, the dangers of his expeditions to the northern desert, and his domineering attitude in unifying the world in the end.

After briefly reviewing his life, the old man finally decided on his successor, who was naturally Zhu Pangpang.

"Everyone, what are you waiting for?"

After reading it, Yang Shiqi placed the will on the tray and looked coldly at the people below.

The civil and military officials, already sweating profusely, knelt silently on the ground and kowtowed three times, inviting Zhu Pangpang to ascend the throne.

Zhu Pangpang refused twice according to the rules, and only agreed the third time with a look of embarrassment.

He then changed into the crown and sat in a position that he had never dared to dream of before.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui stepped forward first, and stood in a row with Zhu Zhanjun, paying homage to Zhu Pangpang.

Civil and military officials followed suit, trying to make their voices louder, hoping that the new emperor would give them a chance to survive after ascending the throne.

He raised his hand and asked everyone to stand up, then Fatty Zhu began to have people read the imperial edict.

The next two imperial edicts were to confer titles on Zhang and Zhu Zhanjun.

No one questioned the positions of Queen and Crown Prince; they were fully deserved.

After completing the division of fiefdoms, Zhu Pangpang turned his gaze to the officials below.

"Ji Gang!"

As this name was called out, many officials trembled, and some even collapsed to the ground with weak legs.

"Crash!"

A large number of Jinyiwei rushed in under the leadership of Ji Gang: "Your Highness is here!"

Fat Zhu didn't look at the people below, but raised his hand and waved.

Ji Gang clasped his fists and accepted the order, then took out a small notebook and began to read the list.

Every time a name and official title was read out, the Jinyiwei would rush forward and drag the person away.

Ji Gang's voice that seemed to bewitch souls made the hall fall silent. After the last name was read out, the hall, which was originally crowded, was now less than 1/3 full.

"Everyone, go back and do your job well, and remember this lesson."

There were still a lot of things to do, and Zhu Pangpang didn't want to waste time talking to these guys. He stood up, warned them, and then ordered the court to adjourn.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial court issued an order for the legions in various places to quell the rebellion as quickly as possible.

The first unlucky person was Prince Ning Zhu Quan.

Before he received any news from the capital, he was taken down from his bed by the legion commanders who had surrendered to him.

Looking at the legion commanders with either playful or cold expressions, Prince Ning Zhu Quan finally understood that he had been tricked by the people from the Fourth Family again.

Thinking of the fate of the people from the fourth family who rebelled, Prince Ning Zhu Quan regretted it so much that he raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.

"I've been cheated a few times, but I'm not careful anymore. Is there any good person in Lao Si's family?"

The rebellion of Ning Wang Zhu Quan was put down almost without firing a single shot.

On the other hand, in Western Persia, the legions had already been waiting and launched a fierce attack.

This time the killing was particularly brutal, and anyone who stood up and took the lead in resistance would be exterminated.

Anyone who had any connection with the rebels was purged.

This turmoil lasted for more than a month before it ended.

According to the final imperial court statistics, more than 60 people were involved in this purge.

There are less than 3 people on the Ming side, and the remaining nearly 60 are from other newly occupied lands.

The imperial court showed no mercy to these rebels and killed them all without mercy.

Nearly 60 lives disappeared without a trace, completely shocking the rebellious races.

The imperial court even issued a strict order: "This purge is just a lesson. If there are any more rebels, their race will be wiped out and their inheritance will be completely cut off."

The purge of the Ming Dynasty made the world understand that the benevolent and tolerant Ming Dynasty could be as cruel as the devil of hell. (End of this chapter)
