Sky Curtain: The Overlord Charges into Battle, Shocking Emperors of All Dynasties

"Awesome!"

Liu Che spoke frankly, offering his highest praise.

"Li Zhi is such a good son, well done!!"

What Li Zhi did to Li Shimin allowed Liu Che to vent his anger.

Having observed the heavens for so long, apart from the initial recounting of the annihilation of the Xiongnu, when Liu Che was in a relatively good, even delightful, mood.

But the following paragraphs were all like knives aimed at his heart.

Especially this Li Shimin, he looks like an enhanced version of him.

Liu Che was naturally not satisfied!

But now, Liu Che has one more moment of happiness.

Liu Che, who was laughing wildly, disregarded his imperial dignity and wanted to vent all his long-standing frustrations!

"Li Shimin was a bad son and a bad father!"

"I am stronger than him, I have won."

"I am a good son!! A filial son!!"

Liu Che was smug, finally finding a way to surpass Li Shimin in one aspect, and he had truly won!

"But Zhu Di is still brave!" Liu Che praised, full of compliments on Zhu Di's courage.

"If Zhu Yuanzhang knew the temple name of Emperor Chengzu, he would be furious!"

Although Zhu Di certainly didn't want this temple name, it must be some unknown emperor of the Ming Dynasty who is hinting at something here!

Thinking of this, Liu Che even felt a little envious of Zhu Di.

That's a temple name, you know. He himself didn't even know if he would be able to have one after he died.

During the Han Dynasty, the granting of temple names to emperors was extremely strict; only four emperors received temple names throughout the entire Western Han Dynasty.

For example, Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, the father of Liu Che, did not receive a temple name.

Liu Che was very curious about what his temple name would be if he had one.

Could it be King Sejong or King Gojong?

Yongle,

The three Zhu brothers dared not utter a single word. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi clung tightly to their eldest brother, Zhu Gaochi, seeking a sense of security from his broad body.

The gloomy atmosphere surrounding Zhu Di now is quite unsettling.

The very thing he had fought for his entire life was shattered, and yet it was passed down to future generations.

When the image on the celestial screen claimed to be Emperor Taizong, Zhu Di was overjoyed.

Even if everyone knows he seized his nephew's throne through the Jingnan Campaign, so what?

He is still the eternal Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty!

"Boss~"

Zhu Di's sinister voice reached the ears of the three brothers, who were immediately startled. Zhu Di had never looked like this before!

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui quickly pushed their elder brother forward.

"I'm calling you, bro!"

"Big brother, hurry up!"

Zhu Gaochi was pushed by his two brothers, almost losing his balance, and staggered to kneel down in front of Zhu Di.

"You mean this Emperor Chengzu, was it you who slept with Father?"

Zhu Di brought his face close to his chubby son's ear, his calm tone sounding murderous to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi's head slammed against the ground with a loud thud!

"Father, how could your son dare!"

"Even if your son ascends the throne in the future, the temple name he will give you will only be Taizong!!"

"Didn't the screen earlier say that you were Emperor Taizong of Ming?"

"Doesn't this just prove that your son gave you the temple name of Emperor Taizong?"

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi's face was full of panic, completely lacking the usual demeanor of a crown prince.

There was no other way; this was the thing Zhu Di cared about most.

If this cannot be explained clearly, Zhu Gaochi's body will probably suffer a lot!

"Get up!!"

Zhu Di, with his hands behind his back, slowly walked away from his three brothers, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Di. The three brothers looked at each other, none daring to be the first to ask a question.

Zhu Di walked away with his back to the three men, and no one could see the expression on his face.

Behind the scenes, unseen by anyone, Zhu Di's expression changed in an instant.

Are you kidding me?!

I've worked so hard my whole life, wasn't it all for that temple name of Emperor Taizong?!

Which unfilial descendant is it?!

How dare they change my temple name without my permission!

That's absolutely damnable!!

Zhu Di now wishes he could chop the grandson who changed his temple name to pieces!

Li Shimin delivered a decisive blow that broke through the defenses, with remarkable effect.

Follow-up comment: The name "Chengzu" is unsolvable; it's the sharpest knife aimed at Zhu Di.

[Just look at Emperor Chengzu! If Zhu Di had met Emperor Jiajing in the underworld, he would have wanted to chop him to pieces!]

Follow-up comment: No wonder the Taoist priest wanted to cultivate immortality; it turns out he didn't want to go to the underworld to see Zhu Di.

Follow-up comment: Now Zhu Di is completely on par with Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhu Di spent his entire life proving that he was not a rebel but a legitimate heir, only to have his claim easily overturned by the words of posterity.

Follow-up comment: These two words would have made Zhu Di turn his coffin lid off.

Follow-up comment: Underground, Zhu Di must have slapped Zhu Houcong to death!

What does "Chengzu" mean? I don't quite understand why Zhu Di would break down in his defenses.

Follow-up comment: Ancestors are those who have made merits and ancestors are those who have virtuous deeds. Generally speaking, only the founding emperor can use the temple name "ancestor". However, Zhu Yuanzhang had already conquered the country. What merits did Zhu Di have to be worthy of being called an ancestor?

Follow-up comment: In order to prove his rightful succession, Zhu Di not only erased the four years of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen's reign, but also removed the temple name Xingzong from his elder brother Zhu Biao's name.

Follow-up comment: Zhu Di wanted to prove that he was the rightful heir. If he had kept the temple name that Zhu Yunwen had given to Zhu Biao, wouldn't that have proven that he had seized the throne from his nephew?

Is it Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong?

As Zhu Di murmured that name, waves of murderous intent surged through his heart.

At this moment, the person Zhu Di resented the most was no longer his eldest nephew Zhu Yunwen, but this great-great-grandson whom he had never met!

"Zhu! Hou! 熜!!"

"You deserve to die!!!"

"Let me kill you!!"

"One! Thousand! Times!!!"

"Not enough!!!"

Zhu Di's hysterical roar resounded through the sky, filled with anger mixed with desolation, grief and indignation mixed with grievance, making one's heart ache and tears flow!

During the Jiajing era,

Zhu Houcong looked embarrassed; he knew that what he had done was somewhat unethical.

But Zhu Houcong had one advantage: he never engaged in internal strife. He always blamed others for the mistakes, never himself!

He quickly adjusted his mindset.

If Zhu Di isn't elevated to the title of Emperor Chengzu, how will my father be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple?

It's all because there aren't enough spaces in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

If there were seventeen or eighteen emperors, I wouldn't have changed Emperor Taizong to Emperor Chengzu!

Besides, isn't this also a sign of filial piety?

The Emperor Chengzu loved filial children so much, what problem could there be if I did this!

If it weren't for Emperor Chengzu, would our lineage of the Prince of Yan have been able to become emperors?

say!!

So isn't this Emperor Chengzu quite reasonable?

Zhu Houcong kept comforting himself, automatically ignoring another thing he was doing in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty had already perished, and it was replaced by the new Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Di!

Postscript: Zhu Di destroyed the Wu Ming dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang and established the Yan Ming dynasty! His achievements are unparalleled! He established an imperial dynasty that lasted for more than two hundred years, and can be called Emperor Chengzu!

Follow-up comment: Exactly! In our Great Ming Dynasty, only Emperor Chengzu is the true ancestor!!

Follow-up comment: For specific examples, refer to the Southern Qi and Southern Liang dynasties. The royal families were also from the same clan. Xiao Yan also seized the throne from his nephew, only he changed the name of the dynasty.

Hongwu

"Hehehehehehehehehehehe"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he laughed instead.

"So, does that mean the Ming Dynasty, which we built with our own hands, perished after only two generations?!"

"Emperor Chengzu, what a fine Emperor Chengzu!!"

"We initially thought it was some promising younger generation who would save the Ming Dynasty from dire straits!"

"It's a pity I didn't get to see Emperor Chengzu and share a drink with him!"

"I actually saw it!!"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's frenzied expression and the atmosphere around him caused his sons to involuntarily take a few steps back, not daring to step forward to comfort him.

Zhu Biao looked worried; he was genuinely afraid that his father, the emperor, wouldn't be able to withstand this blow.

But he also suffered a significant blow!

Zhu Di actually abolished his imperial temple name!

Although Zhu Biao could understand Zhu Di's behavior, it didn't mean he wouldn't be angry!

This is no ordinary younger brother.

We must strike hard!!

Zhu Biao planned to take the stick his father had given him to discipline his brothers and give Zhu Di a good beating once he got back.

Six strikes per second is definitely not Zhu Biao's limit!!

"Biao'er, come here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke with anger, then pulled Zhu Biao and Empress Ma to stand before Zhu Di, who was pale and dazed, and made as if to bow.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty, along with his wife Lady Ma and eldest son Zhu Biao, pay homage to His Majesty Emperor Chengzu, the founding emperor of the Yan Ming Dynasty!!"
