Chapter 156 Helpless
"It is said that Zhu Yijun procrastinated on the appointment of Zhu Changluo as the crown prince. However, in August of the following year, Zhang Youde, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, wanted to start preparations for the ceremony."

"Unexpectedly, after Zhang Youde's memorial was handed in, Zhu Yijun not only refused to allow the Ministry of Industry to start construction, but even fined Zhang Youde three months' salary on the grounds that he was not allowed to disturb him. Are you angry?"

"The matter has developed to such a point that Shen Shixing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, together with other ministers, jointly sent a letter to Zhu Yijun to express their opposition."

"Before, Zhang Youde wanted to start construction preparations, and later, Shen Shixing and others went up to urge him. This really pissed off Zhu Yijun, and the emperor was very angry!"

"As a result, this Shen Shixing saw the emperor was angry, and if he got angry, someone would suffer because of it."

"In order to preserve his official position, hey, this Shen Shixing secretly went to Zhu Yijun to explain the situation, and he said that he had no choice. Why did so many people make trouble for Your Majesty?"

"Then this incident was exposed by someone, and Shen Shixing's reputation was ruined. The ministers of the DPRK and China attacked Shen Shixing and impeached him. Finally, the imperial court dismissed Shen Shihang as the chief assistant."

"Then how did the secret conversation between Shen Shixing and Zhu Yijun get out? The answer is by Zhu Yijun's side, hey, you probably guessed it, right? That's right! It was the eunuch in the palace who spread the news. !"

"Look, if ministers dare to criticize Zhu Yijun's private life, naturally the eunuchs around Zhu Yijun also dare to pass on some of Zhu Yijun's private life to the outer court."

"It is said that Zhu Yijun's private life in the harem is constantly being reported, and Zhu Yijun often does not go to the early court on the grounds of dizziness. Hey, the ministers thought that Zhu Yijun was in poor health because of what he often did, and he was passive and negligent, so they launched another A new round of attacks."

"It's just that this time, things have become a little more serious. What's the matter? Listen to the teacher and continue talking."

"It's said that the courtiers went up to accuse Zhu Yijun of not doing business in the harem, so Zhu Yijun got angry again."

"And this anger directly dismissed some of the ministers, and even some of them were directly punished by the imperial staff because of their violent words!"

"Zhu Yijun directly dragged Hong Naichun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, outside the Meridian Gate on the grounds that Shangshu interfered in the emperor's private life, and almost beat him to death."

"But it's not over yet! After beating Hong Naichun, he decreed that his post should be demoted to the people. As a result, Hong Naichun died of grief and anger not long after he left the palace. "

"Do you think Zhu Yijun's behavior resembles what his grandfather Zhu Houcong did when he first ascended the throne? It was a big ceremony event. The minister went to Zuoshunmen to kneel and cry, but Zhu Houcong sent someone to beat him up."

"Okay, it's the 21nd of the first month of the 22st year of Wanli. The Grand Scholar Wang Xijue secretly called Zhu Yijun, and then Zhu Yijun called him back. So what did Zhu Yijun say?"

"Zhu Yijun said that Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changxun, the third son of the emperor, and Zhu Changhao, the fifth son of the emperor, will be given the title of vassal king together. In the future, we will see who is more virtuous, and then choose who will be the prince."

"These words show that Zhu Yijun is still delaying. After being canonized as a vassal king, if Zhu Yijun chooses Zhu Changxun as emperor in the future, then the ministers will be hard to say."

"Besides, as a teacher, I haven't figured it out yet. After all, Zhu Changluo is Zhu Yijun's eldest son, at least his son, right? Why does he despise Zhu Changluo so much? I really don't understand."

"Actually, you can also see from here that Zhu Changluo has not been loved by his father since the day he was born. This has also created Zhu Changluo's relatively weak personality. Let's talk about this later."

"It is said that Wang Xijue was afraid of offending Zhu Yijun and being punished, and he was also afraid that other courtiers would take the opportunity to attack him, so he publicly said that the queen, sister Wang Xi, was to raise Zhu Changluo. In this way, wouldn't Zhu Changluo become a legitimate son?"

"This operation sounds a lot like stealing one's ears and stealing one's bell. Naturally, it cannot satisfy the eyes of other courtiers."

"It's said that Zhu Yijun just wanted to continue canonizing Zhu Changluo, Zhu Changxun and Zhu Changhao as vassal kings, and didn't want to do what Wang Xijue wanted."

"Hey, when the courtiers learned what Wang Xijue had done, there was an uproar in the court, because what Wang Xijue said was tantamount to asking Zhu Yijun to go through the formalities and questioning whether Zhu Changluo could still become the prince in the future."

"In this way, the courtiers once again attacked Wang Xijue for flattery, and before Zhu Yijun gave an order, this Wang Xijue resigned from his job and left."

"And Zhu Yijun was quite helpless, so he had no choice but to withdraw the edict."

"This matter started in the 14th year of Wanli, and Zhu Yijun argued with the courtiers until the 29th year of Wanli, which lasted for 25 years."

"But in the 29th year of Wanli, Empress Dowager Li really couldn't stand it anymore, so she personally persuaded Zhu Yijun to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince."

"Zhu Yijun's mother came forward to say it in person, and Zhu Yijun naturally couldn't refute anything, so he had no choice but to appoint Zhu Changluo as the prince, Zhu Changxun as the king of Fu, Zhu Changhao as the king of Rui, and the other princes. fan."

"Zhu Changluo, who has endured for 20 years, finally became the prince, but do you think that Zhu Changluo can have no scruples at this point?"

"No! It was said that when Zhu Changluo was out of the pavilion to study, it was winter, and he asked the eunuch to light a fire for him to keep warm. Hey, the eunuch quit!"

"As a result, Zhu Changluo could only be shivering from the cold all the time. His teacher Guo Zhengyu scolded the eunuch angrily when he saw this. The eunuch couldn't stand the teacher's majesty, so he lit a fire for Zhu Changluo to keep warm."

"Then, the reason for this situation must be Zhu Changluo's annoying father, Zhu Yijun. Why does he hate Zhu Changluo so much?"

"Afterwards, Zhu Changxun, who was canonized as the King of Fortune, stayed in the capital for a long time and didn't go to his vassal state. Just think about it and you can know. This must be what Zhu Yijun meant again."

"Seeing this, the courtiers began to go to the court again, asking Zhu Yijun to follow the ancestral system, and let Zhu Changxun quickly leave the vassal state, and can no longer stay in the capital."

"In the 42nd year of Wanli, under the pressure of the courtiers, Zhu Yijun had to put Zhu Changxun back to the vassal state and let him be the vassal."

"From the 14th year of Wanli to the 29th year of Wanli, the courtiers and Zhu Yijun were mainly arguing about Zhu Changluo's crown prince."

"And from the 29th year of Wanli to the 42nd year of Wanli, the dispute between the courtiers and Zhu Yijun was mainly about the issue of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun's vassal state,"
