Chapter 618 The Curse! The Eternal Thief!

In the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Di is more like a twilight old man at this moment.
Emperor Yongle's heroic and domineering spirit was no longer visible at this moment.
After all, no emperor can bear it after experiencing such things as rebellion by his descendants.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word. He knew very well that there was no need to speak out to persuade at the moment, and Zhu Di needed a quiet listener.
After all, he is Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor!
Even if he is grief-stricken now, Zhu Di's strong heart will calm down sooner or later.
After another long silence, Zhu Di finally calmed down his emotions and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with eyes full of relief.
"Second brother, you have been wronged this time."
"You have done well both before and now."
Zhu Di was extremely certain of this.
At first, after he woke up, he had doubts about Zhu Gaoxu.
But a series of things that happened immediately, including Zhu Gaoxu's own performance, made Zhu Di completely give up his fear and suspicion of him.
Especially when this rebellious son heard that Zhan Ji had imprisoned him, he came out of prison and led others to force the palace, which made Zhu Di extremely happy.
Although this traitor is usually annoying, he still cares about family ties, unlike Zhan Ji, the cruel bastard!
"Second brother, tell me, did I really do anything wrong back then?"
Zhu Di suddenly asked such a question, but Zhu Gaoxu really couldn't handle it.
What did Emperor Yongle do wrong?
Launch a peace campaign?
Or……
Before he could speak, Zhu Di began to whisper to himself.
"Back then, that little bastard Jianwen repeatedly persecuted my brother Zongfan!"
"Jin Zhong, Yao Guangxiao and others have repeatedly begged me to raise troops to calm down the situation, otherwise they will just become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by them!"
"But I am reluctant to raise troops, not because I am afraid of that little bastard Jianwen, but because I am afraid that I will make the same mistake as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."
Tang Taizong, Li Shimin!
What is wrong with this eternal emperor of the Li Tang Dynasty?
have!
The Xuanwu Gate Incident, killing brothers, forcing the father into the palace, and seizing the throne by force!
The improper position was a stain that Li Shimin could never wash away in his life!
He, Zhu Di, is so similar to Li Shimin. They both have the stain of usurping his nephew's kingdom, they both have an unfair position, and they are equally difficult to wash away!
"I was thinking at that time, even if I succeed in peace, sitting on this throne will definitely leave fatal dangers to my old Zhu family, just like Taizong of Li Tang Dynasty."
"Framing against each other, fighting against each other, and doing anything for the throne, leaving a villain example for future generations!"
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu finally understood what Zhu Di was worried about.
Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, worked hard throughout his life to govern the country internally. He practiced strict economy, encouraged farmers to cultivate mulberry trees, and achieved rest and recuperation, peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and created the "Government of Zhenguan." , severely damaged Goguryeo, established the four towns of Anxi, lived in harmony with all ethnic groups in the northern region, and received the honorary title "Khan of Heaven"... Undoubtedly, he was an emperor for the ages!
But he also set a bad start for future generations, that is, anyone can hold the throne, and it does not necessarily have to be the eldest son!
If the eldest son doesn't get the throne, then just kill the eldest son!
In other words, Li Shimin destroyed the eldest son inheritance system that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the consequences were extremely serious and bad.
Among Li Shimin's fourteen sons alone, six of them had rebelled or been rebelled against!
The reason is very simple. You, Li Shimin, can obtain the throne through "Palace Change", so why can't I?
Li Shimin killed his brothers and forced the palace to seize power. Li Shimin's sons all hoped to imitate him and ascend to the throne through an unorthodox method!
After Li Shimin, and throughout the Tang Dynasty, the word palace change always accompanied Emperor Li Tang!
Especially after what happened to Queen Wu Zetian, palace changes became the main theme of the Li and Tang dynasties.
The great and splendid Tang Dynasty, with these palace changes and battles, exhausted the final destiny of the country, uncontrollably turned from prosperity to decline, and finally collapsed!
What is Zhu Di afraid of?
He was afraid that he, Zhu Di, would seize the throne by rebelling and usurping the throne, just like Li Shimin, leaving a villain example for future generations!
After all, the lessons from the past are right in front of us, and the bloody lessons of the Li Tang Dynasty are right in front of us!
A Zhenguan rule and a Yongle era, but they were both bright and short-lived, and it is difficult to erase the bad influence left by the two of them.
Especially what Zhu Zhanji did in recent days undoubtedly proved that Zhu Di's worries were not unreasonable, and it broke the sensitive and fragile heart of Emperor Yongle.
"Boy, this is a curse!"
"Dad has always warned you that the Zhu family's hands should not be stained with the blood of the Zhu family, but what will be the final result?"
"You three brothers have all done a great job. Even if you have ambitions, you have restrained them and have not made it too ugly!"
"But what about the next generation? This child Zhanji is the best proof. Your father and I have finally followed the old path of Taizong Li and Tang, and have become eternal thieves!"
The eternal thief!
This description is a bit too much.
Zhu Gaoxu was a little worried because Zhu Di was in a very wrong mood now.
How can you describe yourself with such words? Call yourself an eternal thief, a thief who usurps power and throne!
"Dad, although what you said makes sense, I don't agree with it!"
"It is true that you and Li Shimin have similarities, but they are just similar. The rule of Zhenguan is not the same as the reign of Yongle!"
"Even during the Zhenguan era under Li Shimin's rule, the actual territory of UU Reading www.uukanshu.net was not very large. It was just a small part of the Central Plains. The rest was controlled by tyranny and could not be considered the real territory of the Tang Dynasty!"
"But the Yongle Dynasty is different. Look at how vast our territory is now. Excluding the East China Sea and Nanyang, the Lingbei Prairie and the Indochina Peninsula alone are enough for the court to manage and digest for decades!"
The territory is different, does it make any difference?
Zhu Di was startled when he heard this and didn't quite understand what Zhu Gaoxu meant.
“The vaster the territory, the harder it is to control and govern!”
"Then what should we do? Let's divide it!"
"There is only one throne, but there are many territories!"
"It would be better to enfeoff all those descendants, or let them lead their own troops to expand the territory, and enfeoff as much territory to him as they capture. Wouldn't it be better than all of them huddled together in the Central Plains fighting for this little piece of land? "
"Now the Ming Dynasty also has such magical seeds as potatoes and sweet potatoes. As long as the land is conquered, they can grow food. As for the quality of their lives, it depends on their own efforts. Do you still want to live for hundreds of years to provide for future generations? Have you planned your way out one by one?"
"Children will have their own blessings. You created the Yongle Dynasty and established the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty. This is enough. The rest is actually very simple. You can enfeoff the kings to rule the mountains and rivers forever. Rebellion and other things are not yours to worry about. thing!"
"Leave one heir in the capital and throw all the other bastards out. You can be the island owner overseas and the vassal king on land. Out of sight and out of mind, what kind of rebellion are they going to do?"
"Don't talk about rebellion. We are so far apart and the distance is so long. It would be nice to see each other once every few decades..."
Zhu Di: "!!!"
hiss……
Divide the kings!
Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers!
