Zhu Yunwen's actions made Zhu Di feel angry, but he had no choice but to tell his three sons to go to Beijing to pay filial piety for him, but his words clearly disagreed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhu Yunwen wanted to use King Yan's three sons as a pledge to restrain King Yan's behavior. King Yan talked with Master Daoyan. Recently, Zhu Yunwen had asked Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai to participate in state affairs. Although he did not explicitly say that he would set up a prime minister, Zhu Di thought that he was just a clever move and changed his mind. But only a month after his father passed away, Zhu Yunwen dared to do so. . In addition, Zhu Yunwen's era name has been set, named Jianwen. The founding emperor was Emperor Wu, and his successor was Wen. This is understandable, but Zhu Di was a warrior.

Daoyan sent people to copy the last emperor's edict. According to the edict, the only soldiers and horses Zhu Di can control and arrange are probably only the three guards who guard the palace. Zhu Di had just lost his father and emperor, so he had no time to read the edict, let alone that there was such a thing. Daoyan had to remind him that when the new emperor ascended the throne to implement the new policy, he must first concentrate his powers, and then the first one to deal with was the virtuous kings like Zhu Di. Seeing Zhu Xi in grief, Daoyan was in a hurry, and he didn't have the proper etiquette for him, which made Zhu Xi sober. Soon, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen called his ministers to discuss how and when to cut the vassal. Xu Yungong wanted to convince him not to cut down the vassal, but he was interrupted by Zhu Yunwen before he finished speaking.

The Prince of Yan and his two county kings were both in the capital. Zhu Yunwen was not afraid of Zhu Di, so he started with the fifth uncle, King Zhou, who handed over this tricky errand to Li Jinglong. After Zhou Wang was arrested, Zhu Di wrote a memorial form, which was impartial. Master Daoyan said that the memorial form was very good. If the court continued to cut down the vassal in the future, it could only cut down those kings who were sometimes illegal. For Zhu Di to cut the clan, the world can see Zhu Di's grievances. Ma He came in and told Zhu Di that he saw Ge Changshi outside the garden. After a little thought, Zhu Di asked Ma He to hand over the memorial watch to Ge Changshi, and then asked Ge Changshi to bring it back to the capital. After listening to Zhu Di's performance, Tie Xuan's face was solemn, Xia Yuanji also saw through it, and King Yan would not be at ease in the future.

Soon after, Emperor Jianwen cut four kings in a row. Daoyan reminded Zhu Di again that these four princes had done wrong, so from the point of view of Emperor Jianwen, he did the right thing. Next, Zhu Yunwen wanted to move Zhu Bo, the king of Xiang, and Sheng Yong was in charge of this. But when he arrived at the Xiangwang mansion, he saw that the mansion was ablaze with fire, and the Xiangwang Zhu Bo, along with his concubine, set himself on fire and died. Only then did Zhu Yunwen realize the seriousness of the matter, but Fang Xiaoru also asked him to continue discussing the crime of King Xiang. After all, the decency of the imperial court was important. Zhu Yunwen grew up with Zhu Bo, the king of Xiang, since he was a child. It can be said that he has no feelings. Therefore, when the king of Xiang died, he was also very painful, but it was also caused by him.

When Zhu Di heard the bad news, he saw that the imperial court gave the king of Xiang a bad posthumous post. Tie Xuan had a written performance, and complained about the grievances for King Xiang and King Yan, and officials such as Xia Yuanji followed suit. After the imperial court, Zhu Yunwen immediately ordered Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong to be demoted from the imperial court. There are good reasons for raising geese in the palace, but in fact, they use the sound of goose calls to cover up the sound of hammering in the underground secret room. When Lord Zhang Bing Zhang of the imperial court came to see Zhu Di, he was actually trying to see if he was really pretending to be crazy and selling stupid. Princess Yan told these adults about Zhu Di's case and the residences of several of the gentlemen, and asked them to present it to the court on their behalf, hoping that His Majesty would allow Zhu Di's three sons to come back to see their father.
