Chapter 133 Corrupt Scholar: It’s not Zhu Yunwen’s fault!
"Haha, what a crappy TV series, Zhu Yunwen is portrayed as a white lotus."
"Who is the director of this TV series? He should apologize to the national audience for making up history!"
"Okay, don't ask for too much. It's just an idol drama about a time-traveling romance. Don't treat the plot of an ancient idol drama as official history, okay?"
"If Zhu Yunwen in history was really as kind-hearted as shown in the video, he would not have lost the world."
"That's right, you can reduce the number of vassal states, but can you not be so hasty? Can you not be so ugly when eating?"
"Others' reduction of power means taking away their power, but they can still be lazy pig princes who eat and wait for death."
"This Zhu Yunwen is so good at reducing the power of the vassal states that he is actually taking their lives!"
"Some were either exiled or demoted to commoners, and some were even forced to commit suicide!"
"I can't live any longer. If I don't rebel, will I be left with nothing?"
"If I were Zhu Di, I would also rebel. If I don't, I will die!"
"That's enough. Do you really think Zhu Di is a white lotus?"
"Do you all think Zhu Yunwen is too cruel? Why do I feel like he's not cruel enough!"
"If he came up and attacked Zhu Di first, he would kill the strongest Zhu Di first, and the other useless princes would just have to wait for death."
"What you said does make sense. Zhu Yunwen was indeed cruel, but the order of cruelty was wrong."
……
Outside the sky.
I was relieved that Zhu Yunwen was kind-hearted.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was blaming Zhu Di for handing over power honestly and not disobeying the imperial order, was stunned.
Originally Zhu Yuanzhang always thought.
Zhu Yunwen was too hasty in reducing the power of the princes.
This led to the ambitious Zhu Di taking the opportunity to rebel.
But now looking at what those people on the sky curtain said...it seems that this is not the case at all!
"Could it be that... Yunwen not only reduced the power of the vassal states, but also wanted to kill Zhu Di?"
"So that's why the fourth brother had to rebel?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this possibility.
But I dare not confirm it easily.
Considering his own status, Zhu Yuanzhang would still sit on Zhu Yunwen's side.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the emperor was never wrong.
Plus the video on the sky screen is really messy.
It's both a history story and a TV drama, and it even talks about time travel and love?
The content of the video.
It doesn't match Tianmu's comments.
Even a man as talented and shrewd as Zhu Yuanzhang.
I couldn't tell it clearly for a moment, so I could only continue watching.
……
[Chu Chu, moved by Zhu Yunwen, took the golden medal and arrow to find Zhu Di, hoping that the two of them would wander around the world and live a fairy-like life together.]
【But Zhu Di just wanted to laugh after hearing this. 】
【Zhu Di didn't believe it at all and thought he was just trying to deceive him.】
Zhu Di said: "I am in the palace, so he cannot do it directly, so he asked me to leave the palace."
[“Once I leave the palace and reach a deserted place, haha, can I still escape his killing order?”]
……
The scene changes.
Chuchu came to the wilderness again and talked to another woman.
Tianmu also continued to explain:
[Chu Chu, who is confused about the situation, finds Xian Xian. ]
[Chu Chu is an overseas Chinese and is not very familiar with Chinese history, so he asked Xianxian what happened between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di in real history.]
The woman known as Xianxian was lying on a reclining chair, rocking it constantly.
He looked relaxed, but his expression was wooden.
Even a feeling of heartbreak.
After listening to Chuchu's question, she just snorted helplessly.
[“Haha, the real history is what we are seeing now. Zhu Di and Zhu Yuwen are irreconcilable and it’s a life-and-death struggle.”]
【Chu Chu: "But Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen are at loggerheads. Isn't it because of you that they are at loggerheads?"】
Outside the sky.
There have been many corrupt scholars throughout the dynasties.
Hearing Chuchu's words, they all clapped their thighs and cheered.
"I see! I was wondering how a local vassal king could succeed in his rebellion."
"Well, beauty is indeed a disaster!"
"A demon woman who brought disaster to the country!"
"Although I don't know what happened in the Ming Dynasty, the treasonous behavior of the princes was indeed caused by women!"
"Hey, in ancient times, Daji caused the demise of the Shang Dynasty, Baosi caused the demise of the Zhou Dynasty, Xia Ji killed three husbands, one king, and one son, and destroyed a country and two ministers, Zhao Feiyan caused the decline of the Han Dynasty, and Yang Yuhuan caused the Anshi Rebellion to break out in the Tang Dynasty."
"There is also Xiao Lian's beautiful body lying on the ground at night. It has been reported that the Zhou army has entered Jinyang."
"It is women who harm the world, not the emperors!"
"It turns out that the Ming Dynasty in the future was also harmed by this evil woman named Xianxian."
"Although the scene on the sky screen is a TV drama, it definitely has a historical prototype."
……
Zhu Yuanzhang was also confused at this time.
Who is this woman named Xianxian?
Why is it said that she caused Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di to turn against each other?
Because Zhu Yuanzhang was now in the Ming Dynasty, he knew that there was no such thing as a woman named Xianxian, and it was impossible for an uncle and nephew to turn against each other because of a woman.
"The Immortals are bringing disaster to the Ming Dynasty. This should be a pure joke, right?"
"Well, it's definitely something the TV series added, not real history."
Tianmu also continued to explain.
[Xianxian just said helplessly: "History is history, it just has different interpretations."]
[Xianxian told Chuchu that Zhu Di escaped Zhu Yunwen's suspicion by pretending to be crazy and stupid.]
【So Chuchu went back and told Zhu Di how to pretend to be crazy. 】
[But what kind of person is Zhu Di? ]
[Express disdain for those who act crazy and stupid. ]
Zhu Di on the sky curtain stood with his hands behind his back. Although he was locked up at home, he still said with great dignity:
[Life and death are determined by fate. This king will not use the means of pretending to be crazy and stupid to survive. 】
The next scene of the sky.
Zhu Yunwen personally went to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to visit Zhu Di, and a quarrel broke out between the uncle and nephew.
[Zhu Di angrily criticized Zhu Yunwen for being cruel and ruthless and killing all his uncles and princes. ]
[Zhu Yunwen argued confidently: "But it was Grandfather Emperor's will to reduce the power of the feudal lords!"]
[After a quarrel, Zhu Di got angry at Zhu Yunwen and just wanted to die quickly. ]
【However, Zhu Yunwen was kind-hearted and could not bear to kill his fourth uncle, so he announced to the public that Zhu Di had gone mad.】
[Zhu Yunwen said in despair: "Since the Prince of Yan has gone mad, let him go back to his fiefdom..."]
[Amid Huang Zicheng's loud outcry that letting the tiger go back to the mountains would cause endless trouble, Zhu Di successfully walked out of the palace and returned to his fiefdom.]
【Everyone is familiar with the subsequent history.】
[After Zhu Di returned, he immediately raised an army in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials, launching the famous Jingnan Campaign in history. Four years later, the army was at the gates of the city.]
[And our TV series is also coming to an end. ]
……
This sky screen video ends immediately.
A large amount of barrage text also flew out.
But it’s basically the same content as before.
They also accused Zhu Yunwen of going too far in reducing the power of the princes, forcing them to rebel.
After seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang basically realized that it was very likely as those comments in the barrage said.
Zhu Yunwen acted too hastily, lacked the means, and was too rough.
This led Zhu Di to take a gamble.
But Zhu Yuanzhang still had some hope.
I feel that I cannot fully believe what I just saw.
After all, that section of the sky looked really unreliable!
It doesn't feel like a history story at all, but more like one of those ancient idol dramas mentioned in the comments, about love.
"Alas...it seems..."
Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to say that it was indeed Zhu Yunwen who made the mistake.
