Rain, crackle.

May spring rain sprinkled down on earth, like a genie falling into the mortal world, dancing and jumping in the world of man.

Spring rain is as precious as oil, and the precious spring rain represents harvest, hope and joy. No matter where the raindrops jump, people will watch and follow it with smiling and happy eyes.

But not here.

The raindrops fall on the bright yellow glazed tiles, and before they have time to bloom and jump, they are transformed into clear water, which flows silently from the cracks of the glazed tiles to the bronze water pipes, and then silently discharges into the water channels covered with green stone slabs.

Here, is the most supreme place on earth. It was even the most powerful, the most noble and the most glorious place in this world, in all human civilizations.

This is the palace of the Ming Empire, the Forbidden City of Yingtian.

This is the most solemn place in the whole world, and there is not a trace of joy at this moment. And the palace is full of onyx, as far as the eye can see, it is all shocking white. Between the brilliant palace, also full of repressed cries.

White, in the hearts of Chinese people, represents holiness. But at the same time, it also represents death.

The Crown Prince of the Great Ming Empire, the first heir to the throne, died early this morning due to illness.

This Crown Prince, the first son born to Emperor Hongwu and Empress of Daming, in this era of Confucian orthodoxy, his origin dictates that he is the sole heir to the Daming Empire.

"Dad died in the opening game! Not playing with me, right?"

In the Eastern Palace where the Crown Prince was located, in a room in Feng An Hall. Zhang Hao, looked in the bronze mirror, at the face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, as well as the thin body.

The white fingers reached out, as if in some disbelief, gently touching down on the young face, and immediately shrank back like an electric shock.

Then a different kind of luster quickly flooded the somewhat cowardly eyes in the mirror, and the young man in the mirror, suddenly grinned.

"So, I'm not dead!"

Zhang Hao once again reached out his hand and somewhat greedily touched his new face.

In his memory, he had been killed in a car accident, and the last image he saw was the anxious face of the resuscitation doctor. But who knew that his soul had traveled hundreds of years and landed on this teenager who had fainted because of his father's death.

The teenager in the mirror, Zhang Hao's new name, is called Zhu Yun Yun.

The memories in his brain come in a flurry, and the memories of his past life and present life slowly merge.

This is the most honorable name of the Daming Empire, and represents the most prominent bloodline in the Daming imperial family.

Today's death due to illness of the Crown Prince of the Great Ming, is Zhu Yun Yun's father.

Zhu Yunyun, the first grandson of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, the second son of Prince Zhu of the Ming Dynasty.

In this era, the word "first" represents orthodoxy and succession.

His mother was the daughter of the founding minister of the Ming Dynasty, Chang Yu Chun, the King of Kaiping, and after being chosen as the Crown Princess, she gave birth to the first firstborn grandson of the Ming Dynasty, which was Zhu Xiong Ying, the older brother of Zhu Yunying. But Zhu Xiongying is weak and sickly, Chang's for the sake of the royal lineage, at the risk of life, gave birth to the second first son, Zhu Yun Yun.

Four years later, Zhu Xiongying died prematurely, Chang's also unfortunately died. And Zhu Yunying, while becoming a motherless child, also became the Daming royal family, legally the only first grandson.

"Zhu Yuanzhang's first grandson!" Zhu Yunzhang looked at his own face in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction, "This identity is not bad!"

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

But then, his smile immediately solidified.

He was Zhu Yunzhu, not Zhu Yunzhu. Because in the near future, a few years later, a generation of heavenly pride Zhu Yuanzhang returns to heaven, the one who ascends to the throne of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yunhuai, not him.

Zhu Yunhuai, Zhu Yunhuai to call a second brother.

His birth mother was a concubine concubine consort, and the son she gave birth to was a concubine son.

After the death of Zhu Yunzhu's mother, this concubine concubine consort of low birth, because of good behavior and sense, plus Zhu Biao has no intention to take a new consort, so she was raised to the rightful consort.

She was made the rightful, and her son Zhu Yunzhu, the son of his mother, was a year older than Zhu Yunzhu, so he became Zhu Biao's nominal eldest son.

However, in the eyes of the courtiers, he was only the eldest son of the concubine. The most honorable bloodline, the most right to inherit is still Zhu Yunyun.

However, the souls from the later generations know that in history, the one who really sat on the dragon chair was Zhu Yunzhu, and his year number was Jianwen.

It is important to know that in feudal dynasties, the most important thing is the distinction between the first and the concubine. The first represents the orthodoxy, and in the original time and space, whether it is Jianwen Emperor, or later Yongle Emperor, after ascending to the throne have not relaxed on Zhu Yunxu the first son of the defense.

Zhu Yun, Hongwu Emperor before his death was named King of Wu.

Wu, is the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang succession before the king's name. Wu was in Jiangnan, the most prosperous place in the world, thus showing the love of Zhu Yuanzhang for this grandson.

However, after Jianwen took the throne, he did not let his brother go to the fiefdom to become a vassal, but kept him in the palace.

When Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the pacification campaign and became the Yongle Emperor, what awaited Zhu Yunyun was a cold captivity.

His status was too honorable, too legitimate. Therefore, the two emperors, no one was comfortable with him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunzhang's young and clear face in the mirror frowned slightly, "Why, exactly, did Zhu Yuanzhang choose the concubine grandson and not the first grandson?"

The brain was slightly painful, the dusty memories seemed to give the new Zhu Yunzhang the answer.

The owner of this body, the original Emperor of Daming, Zhu Yunzhang, although he had an honorable bloodline, he was a bucket that couldn't be helped up.

His body was weak and he didn't like to read. Because he lost his mother when he was a child, his character is weak, and he has no opinion. Even sometimes, in a tense situation, the words are not clear. But in private, stubborn, violent and mean.

What kind of person is Zhu Yuanzhang?

A generation of people, a generation of pride, a generation of lords, an emperor for the ages!

The lowest-born emperor in the history of China, starting from zero, hard to beat away the Mongols, the iron riders, and created a three hundred years, the magnificent Ming Empire.

Since ancient times, there is no one more righteous than Zhu Yuanzhang, who won the country.

He did not come from usurping the throne, nor was he a vassal of the previous dynasty that had made a mess. He was not an aristocrat, nor was he from a family of military generals for generations.

He was a child of the common people!

Because he did not have enough to eat, because he did not have a way to live, and because the world was in turmoil, he joined the righteous army.

However, in the eyes of many so-called experts and intellectuals in later times, he was a tyrant.

Because he hated corrupt officials, corruption of more than fifty taels of silver will be corrupt officials skinned grass, more than one hundred taels of lighted lanterns, and with the human skin of corrupt officials, made the people to sound the drum of grievances.

Because of his later years for the stability of the kingdom, massacre of meritorious officials, and harsh treatment of the world's officials.

More so, because Zhu Yuanzhang was an emperor with a clear class position. Even when he became the emperor, he always regarded himself as a suffering commoner in his heart, and he always stood on the side of the people, administering justice to the people of the world.

That is why those smug literati of later times called him a tyrant.

However, whoever he was, he could not ignore or deny the greatness of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Such a great monarch, not only in the military great, in the affection on the same great, he loved all his children, and look forward to their success, from a young age to hire a master teacher, but also to teach by example, educate his children, to be simple family, can not be luxury and enjoyment.

Zhu Yunzhang's memory, Zhu Yuanzhang is always coarse cloth clothing, years as one day, the cuffs of the cuffs are worn to the white, open line.

Such an emperor, his children and grandchildren can be jackals, can be tigers and leopards, can be across the desert, and the hu people dueling generals, can also be a tent, living in the temple of the gentleman.

But, can never be a word can not speak well, weak character of the coward.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunzhang's mind, floating out of the weekdays Zhu Yuanzhang and he met the scene. Every time he sees him, Zhu Yuanzhang's loving eyes always bring some heartbreaking regret.

These days, a tiger's father has no son, and the son of a heroic old man must also be a good man.

Zhu Yunzhang failed to become the emperor of the answer to call out, Zhu Yuanzhang like a hero, how will give the throne to a cowardly, character flaws of the grandson? Even if it is the first grandson of the Confucian orthodoxy, which is so righteous that it can no longer be righteous, and so honored that it can no longer be honored!

The first grandson is important, and the Jiangshan is even more important!

So in the end, the Jiangshan was given to Zhu Yunzhu. And the richest King of Wu, the throne with the most orthodox meaning, was given to the first grandson.

"Really blame no one else! Blame yourself!"

Zhu Yunzhu looked at himself in the mirror and laughed, "If you don't compete yourself, how could your grandfather give you the throne!"

Laughing, Zhu Yun Yun's smile converged. In his eyes, however, a sharp light shone.

"Since I came to this world to become the most honorable imperial grandson, then I will never let the throne of Daming slip through my hands!"
