Live History Broadcast: Opening Ceremony Spoilers - Our Ancestor Was Enraged

Chapter 613 Old Zhu's Memorial Tablet Blessing

But then again, in his apparent indifference, Li Jinglong would like to ask: was he the only one who consistently lost throughout the entire Jingnan Campaign?

Every time I have a slight advantage, I still lose!

Is this about recounting history? It's just making things difficult for him!

……

The live broadcast continues.

"But the Prince of Yan is no stranger to war. Why would we give him time to build fortifications on high ground? If he really wants to play like that, what's the point of his campaign against the enemy?"

"So, without further ado, Zhu Di led his personal guards and launched a strong attack. Naturally, the Prince of Yan was the better one, and Li Gong lost again, with tens of thousands of people killed and more than ten thousand horses lost."

"Afterwards, Zhu Di, who had won a series of victories, ordered his generals to besiege Jinan. However, the descriptions of this period in several books are contradictory, and can even be described as absurd."

"For example, there is the story of Tie Xuan feigning surrender and preparing to ambush the Prince of Yan when he was welcoming him. As a result, the Prince of Yan fled in panic. Based on this content, another version of the story appears that Tie Xuan hung up the memorial tablet of Zhu Yuanzhang, which made the Yan army dare not attack."

"Wow! What wild historical materials! Which 'genius' came up with this idea? Aren't they afraid that Old Zhu will come looking for them in his dreams?!"

Feeling that this was completely outrageous and that Zhu Yuanzhang felt offended, he immediately jumped up and down, asking, "Who arranged this for him? The memorial tablet has already been made, why didn't I write anything? Old Zhu was here in person!"

"Which bastard wrote this?! Let's try it on our memorial tablet!"

Prince Zhu Gang of Jin preemptively spoke up: "They're all the fourth princes, rewriting historical records. If they do that, others will surely follow suit!"

Zhu Di understood a little. He wasn't going to take the blame for this. Thinking about it carefully, he remembered that historical record... "The Prince of Yan fled in panic..."

Just as he was about to speak, Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang, preempted him: "Come on, even Zhu Laosi fell into the trap and fled in this part. If he were to make it up, he would at least make it up that he was killing everyone!"

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to agree with the logic.

"It must be something my nephew's side, some literary embellishment. Father, do you know me? How could I possibly give you such a plot?!"

The King of Yan spoke with such conviction, as if it were the truth.

Zhu Yunwen: Fourth Uncle, I'm still here...

Zhu Yuanzhang, his face dark, snorted coldly: "No way! We've lived to the thirty-first year of the Hongwu reign, how could we not know about the founding history of the Yongle Emperor!"

Zhu Di: "..."

……

"Also, Ping An and Guo Ying are preparing to send troops to attack Dezhou, but that's not the main point. The main point is that the Prince of Yan was terrified when he heard about it."

"No matter how you look at it, it seems outrageous. Besides, regardless of the feasibility of such an operation, if the Prince of Yan is such a leader, are those who followed him in the Jingnan Campaign fools?!"

"So, take this account with a grain of salt. Getting back to the point, in June of that year, the Prince of Yan won a series of victories, which frustrated Zhu Yunwen. He had never won against his fourth uncle since they started fighting. So, he sent someone to seek peace and ease the tension between uncle and nephew."

Prince Xiang, Zhu Bai, said sarcastically, "Yunwen! You only think about easing tensions now that you're in a hurry to lose? Isn't that a bit too late!"

The princes, who had also suffered greatly, added: "Exactly! We're speaking up for Fourth Brother! You nephew, you're really wicked!!"

Zhu Di: Thank you, I'm here in person, I don't need a spokesperson!

"However, even the Prince of Yan would be amused and annoyed to hear this. After fighting for so long, you're now telling me you want to ease the tension between uncle and nephew? Aren't you being a bit too optimistic?!"

"Judy, who was still the Prince of Yan, naturally refused. Not only that, he also wrote a letter to his eldest nephew, Zhu Yunwen."

"The letter begins by saying, 'Nephew, as emperor, you should follow the most righteous and moderate path.' Then, the tone shifts abruptly, 'Why do your ministers suffer defeat after defeat, while we win every battle?'" (Record of the Pacification of the Tiananmen Rebellion)

"Oh, Uncle Si, I don't really want to win battles. It's all Ming soldiers dying, how can we be happy!?"

"Want to know your fourth uncle's secret to victory, nephew? I don't tell just anyone. Listen carefully, every time we win a battle, it's thanks to the blessings of Father and Mother!"

Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang, still alive: "..."
