Grande Ming: O Neto Imperial Mais Forte, Começo Pedindo ao Velho Zhu para Me Conceder a Morte
No vigésimo quinto ano do reinado de Hongwu, o príncipe herdeiro Zhu Biao faleceu. Zhu Yuanzhang pretendia nomear Zhu Yunwen como o próximo herdeiro imperial, mas foi justamente nesse momento que Zhu Yuntong, vindo de outro tempo, achou necessário lutar por esse posto. Caso contrário, quando os três tolos de Jianwen causassem confusão e o quarto tio, Zhu Di, se rebelasse para “pacificar o caos” chegando às portas da capital, nem mesmo lhe restaria a chance de ser um príncipe livre.

Outside the hall, the guards instinctively tried to stop him.
Zhu Yunxu wounded two guards with his sword, causing the others to hesitate, allowing him to force his way inside.
At first, the entire court thought Zhu Yunxu, resentful at losing the crown prince title, had come to stage a coup by force.
But what could one man hope to achieve by such a desperate act?
Yet no one expected that the first words out of Zhu Yunxu’s mouth were a plea for death; many thought they had misheard.
He had no choice but to act this way.
Having transmigrated into the Ming dynasty as the third son of Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunxu arrived too late—his father was dead, and before he could prove his worth, Zhu Yuanzhang was already about to name Zhu Yunwen as Crown Prince.
If he did nothing, his fate would be to be confined—first restrained in the capital by Zhu Yunwen, never allowed to govern his own fief in Hangzhou.
After the Jingnan Campaign, he would be imprisoned again by Zhu Di in Fengyang, ultimately me
