Chapter 98 TV series "Zhu Yuanzhang"

"The second theory is more bizarre. It is said that Zhu Biao was forced to throw himself into the river by Zhan Hui, the censor of Zuodu. After being rescued, he contracted wind and cold and died soon after."

Zhu Yuanzhang: Zhan Hui, the censor of Zuodu? Anchor, is Biao'er's death really related to Zhan Hui?

Zhan Hui: Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Even if I had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, I would not dare to force His Highness the Crown Prince to death. Please give me a clear warning.

Zhu Biao: Father, since the anchor said it was weird, it means that this statement cannot be true.

Zhan Hui: Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise. Thank you very much for keeping this official clean.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Our Biao'er is still smart. He immediately saw the key. He is indeed a great person.

Zhu Biao:......

Seeing the heated discussion among several parties involved, Su Chen quickly stopped and continued:

"The theory that Zhan Hui was forced to throw himself into the river is similar to the cause of death from wind-cold in "History of the Ming Dynasty", but the way of contracting wind-cold is different."

"The "History of the Ming Dynasty" believes that Zhu Biao was infected on his way back from his inspection tour of Shaanxi. Since it took several months between Zhu Biao's return to Nanjing and his death, the statement in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" is doubtful."

"The second theory is that it was caused by infection by drowning in a river. This theory comes from the "Notes of Wang Wenke Gong" written by Wang Hao, a famous official in the mid-Ming Dynasty. It is considered to be of extremely high historical value, so it has been adopted by many scholars."

Zhu Yuanzhang: Wang Hao came out and answered us, is this true?

Wang Hao: If I go back to Taizu, His Highness the Crown Prince did die due to being infected with the cold. However, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince was forced into the river by Zhan Hui is speculation by later generations and has nothing to do with me.

"The reason why Wang Hao's notes were adopted by later generations of scholars is largely because of his greater influence in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Compared with the "History of the Ming Dynasty" that was revised by the Qing Dynasty and contained a large number of private items, scholars believe that the Ming Dynasty The words of famous ministers are more authoritative."

"Wang Hao himself can be said to be one of the few elders of the four dynasties in the nearly three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. He experienced the Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde, and Jiajing dynasties. He was one of the famous scholars in the middle Ming Dynasty. His reputation at that time was Extremely high.”

"Because of such a huge reputation, the theory that Zhu Biao was forced to death by Zhan Hui is supported by many scholars."

"According to Wang Hao's records, Zhu Biao did not have any illness after returning from Shaanxi. Instead, he was ordered to inspect the prison with Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, to examine the criminals."

"At that time, Zhu Biao and Zhan Hui interrogated a prisoner together. Zhu Biao was kind-hearted and asked for leniency for the prisoner, but Zhan Hui was a cruel official and wanted to punish the prisoner harshly."

"The two couldn't argue, so they came to Zhu Yuanzhang. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to help the law but not the relatives, and said that what Zhan Hui enforced was the law."

"Zhu Biao was kind-hearted by nature and couldn't bear to see prisoners being severely punished, so he knelt on the ground and said, "My sons have learned the way to build a country. Benevolence is the foundation. The law is attached, not the reason."

"What Zhu Biao means is that the rule of the country must be based on benevolence, and the law must be attached to benevolence, not benevolence to the law. Who knows that after Zhu Yuanzhang heard this sentence, he flew into a rage and shouted, "If you have the world to do it," meaning Just do this when you become emperor."

"Zhu Biao was completely blinded after hearing this. He was so frightened that he couldn't explain anything. In panic, he jumped into the Jinshui River and tried to commit suicide. Although he was rescued by his attendants, he became ill as a result. After being rescued, he fell ill. rise."

When he heard that Biaoer committed suicide by jumping into the river, Zhu Yuanzhang had a complex expression and sad eyes.

If what Wang Hao recorded is true, the cause of this incident was a dispute between Biao'er and Zhan Hui.

But in the end, it was the father and son who had a dispute over their political opinions, and Biao'er was forced to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

He knew that Biao'er had a kind heart, and that sentence seemed to be what Biao'er could say, and Biao'er would indeed argue with him over his political opinions. But he didn’t believe that Biao’er would jump into the river and commit suicide because of a dispute. His Biao’er was not that fragile.

Zhu Biao shook his head helplessly. This kind of death by jumping into the river was not his fault at all.

It is absolutely impossible for him to jump into a river just because he disagrees with his father's political views, and it is not his character.

His father was fond of using harsh punishments, but he was more kind-hearted. Because of this, he and his father had quarreled countless times.

If he had jumped into the river because of a quarrel, he would have jumped into the river long ago. How could he still be alive today?

Zhu Biao: Anchor, it is common for Gu and his father to quarrel over political disagreements. It is absolutely impossible for him to commit suicide because of this.

"This statement really cannot withstand scrutiny. It is impossible for Zhan Hui to force the prince to death. With Zhu Yuanzhang's doting on Zhu Biao, if such a thing happened, Zhan Hui would definitely be angry with him."

"According to historical records, after Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang did not execute Zhan Hui, which shows that this statement is not true."

Zhan Hui let out a long breath and was sweating profusely now. He had just walked away from the gate of hell.

Although he knew from the beginning that the prince's death had nothing to do with him, he was still frightened when he saw in the story that the prince ended up committing suicide by jumping into the river because of an argument with him.

He knew very well the importance of the prince in His Majesty's heart. Even if the prince rebelled, His Majesty would gladly give up the throne.

If His Majesty is angry with him because of false stories, then he will really be unable to defend himself.

Now the anchor gave the final word and made it clear that he was not the one who forced the prince to die, which finally reassured him.

"Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang quarreled and committed suicide by jumping into a river. Although this statement is false, it has been widely circulated in later generations, mainly due to the influence of TV series."

"A TV series called "Zhu Yuanzhang" that was broadcast a few years ago contained this plot. It was said that Zhu Biao was afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, so he was so frightened that he jumped into the river and committed suicide."

"Therefore, influenced by the TV series, some people blame Zhu Yuanzhang for Zhu Biao's death, saying that Zhu Biao was scared to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, and that Zhu Yuanzhang was the murderer of Zhu Biao."

Zhu Yuanzhang: Anchor, can you show us this TV series about us?

He remembered clearly that he was introduced in the video played on the screen before, and those clips about him should be from this TV series.

He is very happy that future generations can film a TV series about him. This at least shows that future generations have not forgotten him and still remember him as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

He wanted to watch this TV series named after himself to see how future generations would interpret him and evaluate him.

Su Chen had this intention, and also wanted to show the ancients classic film and television dramas.

The four great classics, as well as some TV series that specifically tell the story of emperors' deeds, can be arranged for the ancients to ensure that they will enjoy watching them.

But not now, you have to wait until you are familiar with the process of live streaming to bring goods before engaging in these entertainment activities.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty Hongwu. I'll wait until you are less busy in a few days and then play it for everyone to watch."
