The Prince of Han of the Great Ming

Just wondering, did the King of Han go to the frontier? If not, I won't watch. Don't pollute my mind with your disgusting palace intrigue.

I want to see you rebel, not torture the protagonist. It's been hundreds of chapters already, have you even looked at it?

In reality, most people would just lie low. As long as I lie low, what can Zhu Di do to me? I've made great contributions, and now, firstly, I don't want to be too powerful and threaten the emperor, and secondly, I don't want to compete with my elder brother for the throne. I just want to live a life of leisure and wait to die. Once I've explained things clearly, Zhu Di doesn't have many good options. Either kill me—but why kill a son who has rendered such service to you? Or let me go, whether I'm permanently stationed in Yunnan or somewhere else, I don't want to stay in the capital anymore. Why not go conquer the Indochina Peninsula, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Americas? If you can conquer the Indochina Peninsula, who can control you?

It's been hundreds of chapters and they're still arguing and bickering all day long. This is ridiculous! It's the same formula for hundreds of chapters and it's still going on.

The protagonist wants the crown prince to die before Yongle, so he can succeed to the throne as the eldest son of the legitimate wife. Yongle is not one to easily pass the throne to his grandson.

Zhu Gaochi's situation was either rebellion or house arrest. As the second prince most like Zhu Di and the prince most supported by the military heroes of the Jingnan Campaign, he practically had "I will rebel" written all over his face. There was no way he could remain uninvolved. To use an analogy, imagine fully armed American troops standing outside an oil field. Even if they said they weren't interested in the oil field, who would believe them?

The author of this, Xifeng, wrote it well. The so-called rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, the youth, and the Prince of Han is likely a slander. Moreover, Zhu Zhanji went too far. I think his early death was probably retribution. Even God couldn't stand it anymore.

Why don't you just sneak off with Zheng He overseas to establish a kingdom or commit suicide? Why stay here as a punching bag? You have no spirit at all, you just look like a clown. 🤫

It feels like the author is writing a TV series based on a martial arts novel. There's hardly any plot development; it's all about suspicion, intrigue, and occasional assassination attempts. The three princes playfully bump into each other, then shake hands and make peace; father and sons exchange insults and then reconcile. That's it.

Let's start looting, even if we manage to establish some Khanate or something, and then return with a great victory to quell the rebellion again. Knowing history, one knows that if the King of Han did not advance, he would die. At this point, there was no longer any kinship or trust within the family. Only by being even more ruthless than Li Shimin could he succeed. Zhu Di cared too much about his father's approval. He dared not touch any organizational rules or regulations. He dared to do things but not to take responsibility. Externally, he only drove away foreign tribes. Internally, his civil administration was lax. He fooled his three sons. If he hadn't been born under the surname Zhu, he would have been a general. Stop hyping up the "Rule of Renxuan" and the "Hexagonal Warriors" (referring to the Ming Dynasty's supposedly perfect rule). It feels like the Ming Dynasty started to rot from the Renxuan era onwards. Military virtue was gone, and civil officials began plotting to seize power. The Crown Prince gave civil officials opportunities, the Grandson of the Crown Prince further developed these opportunities, giving eunuchs a chance, and then it went downhill from there.
