These questions were like heavy hammer blows, striking Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang's hearts hard!

"You bastard!"

Enraged, Zhu Yuanzhang kicked over the dragon throne, his beard and hair standing on end!

"Are our soldiers meant to negotiate peace with others?!"

"Was our Great Ming Dynasty built on benevolence and morality? It was built on killing! It was built on war!"

"That spineless, fat pig! He's completely disgraced the Zhu family!"

Inside the Yongle Hall.

Zhu Di swayed, his face ashen.

He recalled the hardships of each of his Northern Expeditions, and the soldiers who fought alongside him and were buried far from home.

The strategic advantage they gained over the grassland tribes with their lives and blood was completely squandered by this rebellious son with a casual "peace negotiation."

Those military generals who followed him, such as the descendants of Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, all had ashen faces and their fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

The dignity and peace that their fathers fought for with their lives were thus negated by the new ruler?

This is not only a betrayal of the Yongle Emperor!

It was the most thorough humiliation for the entire Ming Dynasty military force!

One pile, one piece.

The crimes revealed by Zhu Dijun were like sharp knives, stripping away Zhu Gaochi's "benevolent" facade and exposing his cowardly, short-sighted, and selfish nature.

The air inside the Fengtian Hall had already reached freezing point.

Zhu Di stood quietly, without saying a word.

But everyone could see that beneath that calm surface lay a volcano about to erupt, a devastating storm.

Zhu Gaochi was completely paralyzed. He didn't even have the strength to cry. He just stared at the sky in despair, waiting for the final judgment.

He knew there was more.

There must be something even more terrifying to come.

Sure enough, Judy Jun's voice, carrying a hint of coldness as if pronouncing a death sentence, rang out again.

"If the first three charges are to say that we are cutting off our own arms externally and raising a tiger to cause trouble internally."

"Then this fourth crime, and the most heinous one, is to fundamentally deny the foundation of the nation and subvert ancestral systems!"

"Fourth crime: Intending to move the capital, negating the foundation of the nation!"

When the words "intending to move the capital" appeared, Zhu Di's pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size!

A murderous aura, a hundred times stronger than all his previous anger and disappointment combined, suddenly erupted from his body!

The temperature in the entire hall suddenly dropped!

Above the sky, Zhu Dijun's voice, like the final heavy hammer, crashed down!

"Beiping! Yingtianfu!"

"It was Emperor Yongle, Zhu Di, who personally selected the capital!"

"Why move the capital to Beiping?!"

"Because this is the heart of a crucial border town! It's the front line directly facing the threat from the grasslands!"

"Establishing the capital here is to use the emperor's dragon throne to tell the whole world, and to tell the wolves of the northern steppes!"

"Our Great Ming Emperor will live and die with the nation's borders! Facing the frontier head-on, not an inch of land will be yielded!"

"This! This is the core of the strategy of 'the emperor guarding the nation's gates'! It is a supreme national policy engraved in the very bones of the Yongle Dynasty!"

Zhu Dijun's voice echoed throughout the myriad worlds and timelines, stirring the blood of countless people!

The emperor guards the nation's gate!

What courage! What a sense of responsibility!

However, the next second, Judy Jun's voice was filled with endless mockery.

"But what about our 'Renzong' Emperor Zhu Gaochi?"

"As soon as he ascended the throne, before he had even settled into his seat, he immediately began preparations to move the capital back to Nanjing!"

"Why?!"

"Because of the sandstorms in Beiping? Because Beiping is too close to the grasslands and too dangerous?"

"Bullshit!"

Judy Jun immediately swore!

"Because Nanjing is the stronghold of the southern civil official group! It is the most prosperous and comfortable haven in the world!"

"By moving the capital to Jinling, the emperor can be completely far removed from the flames of war on the frontier and live entirely under the control of their civil service group, spending his days composing poems and indulging in pleasure!"

"This is the most utter betrayal of his father Zhu Di's life's work!"

"This is the most thorough subversion of the Ming Dynasty's national policy of 'guarding the country's gates'!"

"Zhu Di went to great lengths to keep the empire's head firmly planted on the northern frontier, keeping it constantly vigilant against threats from the north! But you, Zhu Gaochi, want to personally twist that head back, turning it so that its back is to the enemy!"

"Family members, do you understand now?"

"The 'benevolence' of this 'benevolent ruler' Zhu Gaochi was directed towards those former officials of the Jianwen Emperor who trembled before his father!"

"The 'benevolence' is directed towards the group of civil officials who only care about their own selfish interests, are short-sighted, and hope that the emperor will be a duke of ease and comfort!"

"It's 'benevolence' directed towards those Mongol tribes who were terrified of your father and were just looking for a chance to catch their breath!"

"Only!"

Zhu Dijun's voice suddenly rose, each word filled with anguish!

"He is heartless to his father, who fought so hard to pave the way for you!"

"Only he! Those who placed high hopes on him, expecting him to protect the dynasty for future generations, were utterly ruthless!"

"Only indifference towards the future of this country, towards the spirit of this nation!"

"This kind of 'benevolence' sacrifices the future of the nation for personal fame and comfort!"

"This kind of 'benevolence' betrays one's ancestors and one's country!"

"What's the difference between him and Emperor Renzong of Song, Zhao Zhen, and that Tungusic wild boar-skinned Emperor Kangxi?!"

"This is the 'benevolence' that eats people!"

"It is a more vicious, more insidious, and far more pernicious poison than tyranny... a deadly poison!"

"ah--"

A roar that sounded inhuman burst forth from Zhu Di's throat!

His eyes instantly turned blood red!

Move the capital!

This rebellious son actually wants to move the capital!

He denied everything about himself!

The significance of the Jingnan Campaign! The painstaking effort behind the relocation of the capital! The blood shed in the Northern Expedition! The determination to defend the nation's borders!

At this moment, his most valued son completely rejected him!

That's not a political disagreement!

That's attacking the heart!

It's a stark reminder to him, "Dad, everything you've done is wrong!"

"puff--"

Another mouthful of blood gushed out, and Zhu Di's tall body could no longer support him. He swayed violently and fell backward.

"Father!"

"His Majesty!"

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were horrified and held him tightly.

Meanwhile, in the timeline of the first year of the Hongxi reign.

Zhu Gaochi, who had just ascended the throne and was full of vigor, preparing to implement his "benevolent rule," looked at the final verdict against him on the sky and listened to those words that pierced his heart.

"Man-eating...benevolence..."

"Highly poisonous..."

He felt dizzy and utterly hopeless.

It turns out that everything he was so proud of was actually so despicable.

His vision went black, and his obese body collapsed to the ground, completely losing consciousness from anger.

In the Ming Dynasty, two emperors from different time periods, at the same moment, one was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted, while the other was so ashamed and indignant that he fainted.

This absurd and tragic scene has left countless worlds and timelines sighing with sorrow.
