Zhu Laosi Fights Hard to Quell the Rebellion While Zhu Yuntong Steals His Home from Behind

The Jianwen Emperor had ruled for over two years.

The Yan rebels had changed their names and appearances, presumptuously trying to claim the rightful succession.

The second year of Jianwen.

Three years had passed since the late Emperor Taizu.

Nine years had passed since Crown Prince Yiwen fell ill and died.

Nineteen years had passed since Empress Xiaoci Gao, Ma, passed away.

That year, Li Jinglong led the entire imperial army and was defeated at Baigou River.

That year, Prince of Yan Zhu Di besieged Jinan, vowing to crush the Southern Army in central Shandong.

And that same year,

Li Jinglong was stripped of his post and investigated, left to languish in disgrace.

Yet a junior officer led him into the Prince of Wu's residence.

A sealed imperial decree from many years ago, and two valiant generals who swore a blood oath.

Someone plucked an ancient zither, singing as he played.

That year, the legitimate son of Crown Prince Yiwen, the Prince of Wu,

used a basket to catch a netful of fish.

And so, the realm gained a new master.
