Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 106 Zhu Gaoxu: Dad, I really saw Lan Yu!

Chapter 106 Zhu Gaoxu: Dad, I really saw Lan Yu! (5000)

Although Zhu Gaoxu rarely saw Zhu Biao, Zhu Gaochi saw him often.

But he had seen Lan Yu.

Of course, because the memory is a little too long-term, although the memory is a little fuzzy.

However, the basic outline of the blue jade can still be recognized.

Now, the person in front of him looks like Lan Yu.

Or rather, it looks very much like Lan Yu, except that Lan Yu doesn't seem to be that old, and doesn't have three conspicuous scars on his face.

Zhu Gaoxu patted his face and it hurt. He probably wasn't drunk.

Who is the person next to Lan Yu?

He has a delicate and elegant appearance, seems approachable, yet dignified.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up suddenly. Could it be that Lan Yu was not dead?

That's impossible. In the 25th year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu clearly executed Lan Yu and other Huaixi nobles.

How is it possible to still be alive?

"He's not here again."

He looked at Ximei beside him and asked, "Miss, could Mr. Zhuang tell us the exact time so that we can get here accurately?"

Ximei touched her head.

Huh? Isn't the pub open from 10am to 2pm every day?

So he explained: "Our tavern's business hours have always been around noon, two hours, and it has never changed."

Hearing this, Duke Liang was a little surprised.

"Then I have been waiting here for several days, but I have never seen you open the door."

"And I don't know what kind of wood you used, but the musket can't be opened."

This tavern cannot be opened by force, so we can only wait for it to be opened from the inside.

He tried to use a musket to see if he could blow the door down, but the result was predictable. He couldn't...

It seems that the door of this tavern will only open when it is wrapped in a thin layer of nebula mist.

Seeing this, Ximei thought for a moment and asked, "What are the names of the two guests? I can tell the shopkeeper about this."

Upon hearing this, Duke Liang spoke without any hesitation.

"I am the Duke of Liang, Lan Yu."

When he heard this, Zhu Gaoxu was shocked. It was indeed him!

Although I don't know why Lan Yu's aloof temperament has been reduced a lot, and he has become polite.

But he wouldn't remember it wrongly.

Lan Yu's face, although no one knows where the scar was left, still has his unique temperament.

Without waiting for the people around Lan Yu to introduce themselves, he suddenly picked up a stool and said with a smile.

"Lan Yu, you are not dead after all."

"I was wondering why it looks more and more familiar the more you look at it."

"I didn't expect you to fake your own death and get away with it!"

Duke of Liang Lan Yu looked at the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu in front of him and frowned slightly. Who is this person?

I can't remember, but I always feel like I've seen it.

The man in front of him gave him the feeling of... a soldier he had met a few times before.

Duke of Liang Lan Yu subconsciously protected the elegant man behind him and said, "Your Majesty, please step back."

"There's something wrong with this guy."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned when he heard the word "Your Majesty".

"You are so bold that you even dare to support the emperor!"

Duke of Liang Lan Yu looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a bewildered look on his face.

Support the emperor?

Who? Me? Isn't the person behind me the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongsheng Zhu Biao?

He is the heir designated by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Is it necessary for me to support him?

This person must be mentally ill.

Zhu Biao looked at the person in front of him and felt that he looked familiar.

Why do I feel that this person seems familiar?

"It seems that the two traitors Mr. Yao mentioned are probably you two."

"My eldest nephew didn't catch you two last time. Now that I run into you, don't even think about escaping."

Great nephew? Last time.

Lan Yu instantly realized that this man was in the same group as the ones who besieged him last time.

Traitors! I don’t know why, but the last time this group of traitors attacked me, they disappeared.

We searched the entire Yingtian Prefecture but couldn't find this group of rebels.

Unexpectedly, Yingtian Prefecture, the former capital of the Ming Dynasty, had rebels and the security situation was unimaginably poor.

Zhu Biao was furious about this and directly exiled the entire family of the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture to Lingnan. It is estimated that they are still on the way.

"Are you in cahoots with that group of rebels?"

Zhu Gaoxu was silent.

"You are the traitor!"

After saying that, Zhu Gaoxu threw a chair directly at Lan Yu.

Fortunately, Lan Yu dodged quickly and was not hit.

Lan Yu said quickly, "Your Majesty, please step outside first, and let me catch this traitor!"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Gaoxu's face and wondered why he felt like he had seen him somewhere.

At this moment, a figure appeared before his eyes. The Fourth Brother? !
The man in front of him is the fourth son's second son... Zhu Gaoxu? !
How could that be, isn't he dead?

Why does it appear here?
Zhu Biao looked solemn and gave instructions to Lan Yu.

"Don't harm their lives."

If we catch him alive and interrogate him, we should be able to find out.

He clearly remembered that Zhu Gaoxu was dead.

It was Zhu Gaoxu who was buried personally at that time.

Zhu Biao knew that if he stood here, he would cause trouble for Lan Yu.

This tavern is not big to begin with, and if you need to worry about your own safety, it will probably be like last time.

Being surrounded and beaten, there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, there is only one person this time, and Lan Yu should be able to handle it.

Soon, Zhu Gaoxu charged forward and knocked Lan Yu down.

The huge force made Lan Yu stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly came to his senses.

"It's you! Zhu Gaoxu!"

Zhu Gaoxu was riding on Lan Yu's body. Maybe it was because he was old, but it seemed that his strength had weakened a lot.

Zhu Gaoxu completely crushed Lan Yu.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his lips when he heard this: "Oh, you finally remembered me?"

Even though Lan Yu remembered himself, Zhu Gaoxu's fists did not stop.

Instead, it fell towards Lan Yu like raindrops.

Lan Yu protected her head with both hands and looked at Zhu Gaoxu in disbelief.

"How is it possible? How can you still be alive? Didn't you die of dysentery during the expedition against Timur?"

"I should be the one asking you this! You should be dead!"

In the 25th year of Hongwu, Lan Yu was in trouble because of his arrogance and domineering behavior, and because he no longer had the support of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

He was eventually liquidated by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

The Lan Yu case implicated tens of thousands of people, most of whom were Huaixi nobles and their families.

The most important of them are actually aimed at military generals such as Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde who are likely to become more powerful than their masters.

After all, Zhao Kuangyin's case is too classic. The ruler is young and the country is in doubt, and the orphan and widowed mother cannot control these military generals.

Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that this situation would also happen in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after Zhu Biao died, all these people were buried with him.

Although Zhu Gaoxu did not see it with his own eyes.

But there is no way it could go wrong.

How could there be any mistakes in a case that was personally reviewed by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang?

It was obvious that Lan Yu could not defeat Zhu Gaoxu at all and could only defend passively.

Fortunately, he is not a vegetarian.

In the moment that Zhu Gaoxu took a break, he straightened his waist and pushed Zhu Gaoxu away.

He quickly stood up and looked at Zhu Gaoxu vigilantly.

"Are you faking your death?"

"Lan Yu, you're stealing my lines again!"

Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Lan Yu and cursed.

He was already angry because Zhu Di insulted him and thought he was incompetent.

So he came here, thinking of drinking to drown his sorrows, but he never expected to run into Lan Yu who had faked his death.

Naturally, he could not vent his anger towards Zhu Di, so he could only vent it towards Lan Yu who "faked his death".

Lan Yu knew that he could not defeat Zhu Gaoxu, so he drew the knife from his waist.

When looking at the knife in Lan Yu's hand, Zhu Gaoxu stopped cursing.

Depend on!
Damn it, I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot to bring my weapon.

"If you have the guts, don't take up any weapons. Let's fight with bare hands!"

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Gaoxu in silence. Bare hands? Do you think I'm stupid?

Everyone knows that you, Zhu Gaoxu, are extremely strong and gifted with supernatural powers, just like your brother-in-law.

It's a monster.

Of course, the way of death is the same.

If I had a gun, I would definitely be able to stab Lan Yu to death.

"Come if you have the guts. Am I afraid of you?"

Lan Yu tightly gripped the knife in his hand and stared at Zhu Gaoxu with a fierce look.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time, and Ximei was helpless. Why did people always fight when the shopkeeper was not around?

There was loss of two chairs and a table.

Seeing that Lan Yu did not put down the knife, Zhu Gaoxu picked up a chair again.

But the chair was not comfortable to use after all.

The two fought in the tavern for a full quarter (ten minutes), and Zhu Gaoxu directly hit Lan Yu's chest with a chair.

Suddenly, he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood.

Lan Yu also injured Zhu Gaoxu with a knife.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lan Yu had to leave the tavern first.

Zhu Gaoxu looked down at the wound on his hand, but without paying much attention, he chased after him.

But when he chased out of the tavern, Lan Yu was gone.

"Damn it, he ran away again." Zhu Gaoxu looked at the wound on his hand and didn't take it seriously. This kind of injury was considered a minor one.

He didn't know how many such wounds he had.

Of course, it still needs to be handled properly, otherwise it is easy to die.

After this incident, Zhu Gaoxu was naturally in no mood to drink.

……

Hong Sheng Dynasty.

Also in Yingtian Prefecture, also in front of this tavern, Zhu Biao looked at the limping Lan Yu.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"You are hurt?"

There was still a trace of blood in Lan Yu's mouth. He responded to Zhu Biao's question.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we were unable to catch him, but we can confirm that this man must be Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of the Prince of Yan who has passed away due to illness."

It was actually him.

Zhu Biao couldn't quite believe it. He thought they just looked alike, but he was able to beat Lan Yu like this.

I think there are only a few such people in the entire Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Gaoxu is one of them.

They are brave and have natural strength much greater than normal people.

But why would the dead Zhu Gaoxu appear in this tavern?

"Father, Mother, what exactly is the secret you two are talking about?"

Zhu Biao looked at the tavern with its door closed and muttered to himself.

During the Hongsheng Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had already moved its capital to Luoyang, and Nanjing became the old capital and secondary capital.

Just a few months ago, my father and mother both passed away. Before they died, they told me that they had a secret that they had hidden for a long time.

They said that all they had to do was find a pub in Nanjing and a man named Zhuang Mu.

He will know the truth, the secret.

Know...the death of Prince of Yan Zhu Di.

So, after burying his father and mother, he returned to the old capital, Nanjing.

He found this tavern.

But I didn't see a person named Zhuang Mu.

At the same time, he also learned that the owner of the tavern was named Zhuang Die, who had died of illness long ago, and his wife and children died in childbirth.

This tavern has been old for too long.

After staying in Nanjing for a long time and about to give up, he received news that this pub had opened.

Whenever the tavern is surrounded by starry sky and mist, the door of the tavern will open.

And Zhuang Mu was among them.

So, what happened later happened.

The door of the tavern was opened several times, but Zhuang Mu was not found. Instead, many strange things were seen.

Especially the Zhu Gaoxu who appeared today, the Zhu Gaoxu who has already died.

"Forget it, let's talk about it next time the gate opens."

"Surround this place. Anyone who dares to approach without my order will be killed!"

On his side were soldiers wearing armor, with strict military discipline, standing tall and guarding the place.

Then, Zhu Biao glanced at Lan Yu.

"Take good care of yourself."

After saying this, Zhu Biao left immediately. The imperial palace in Nanjing had not yet been demolished.

He has been handling state affairs these days in the imperial palace in Nanjing, a familiar place.

……

Yongle Dynasty.

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Prince of Han's Mansion, and the Princess of Han was applying medicine to Zhu Gaoxu.

Because he often practiced martial arts, wielded guns and sticks, and was often injured, he had a lot of medicines and other things at home.

Of course, in order to prevent any accidents, the Princess of Han also asked someone to go to the palace to call the imperial physician.

"Look at you, you didn't even bring a weapon with you when you went out. If you run into a bad guy, what are you going to do to show off your strength?"

The Princess of Han was wiping Zhu Gaoxu's wound while she was nagging.

No matter how high your kung fu skills or how strong your martial arts skills are, it’s just a matter of two strikes.

Only Zhu Gaoxu dared to play with someone who had a knife without any weapon in his hand.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly.

"What do you know, you bitch?"

"That's Lan Yu! Lan Yu was killed by Emperor Taizu in the 25th year of Hongwu."

"I can't just let him run away, can I?"

As long as I catch Lan Yu, I wonder if the old man dares to say anything bad about me?
It was a pity that he had just taken off the regent's clothes and didn't have time to change into his own clothes.

As a result, there were no weapons, otherwise Lan Yu would have been captured alive.

Princess Han was also helpless: "When the Jingnan Campaign was underway, I was already worried and frightened. Now that the country is stable, you still make me worried and frightened."

"I will be scared to death by you sooner or later."

Seeing the worried look of Princess Han, Zhu Gaoxu smiled.

"Don't worry, who am I, your husband? I am the King of Han! In this world, no one who can kill me has been born yet."

The Princess of Han rolled her eyes at Zhu Gaoxu.

No matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of a hidden knife.

At this time, Zhu Gaosui learned that Zhu Gaoxu had been removed from his position as regent and hurried over.

And shouted to Zhu Gaoxu loudly: "Second brother! Second brother!"

Hearing Zhu Gaosui's voice, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly called out to him.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm here."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's voice, Zhu Gaosui hurriedly walked towards Zhu Gaoxu.

"Second brother, I heard that the old man removed your power as regent?"

"You see what I said is right."

"The old man asked you to supervise the country just to play with you and empty your pocket."

Zhu Gaosui felt somewhat indignant for Zhu Gaoxu.

He has seen Zhu Gaoxu's efforts these days.

You know, Zhu Gaoxu actually didn't like reading books very much, but he was able to sit peacefully in the chair of regent.

He wrote furiously, staying up all night to deal with memorials.

If he didn't understand, he would directly ask Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi and others.

Because memorials were processed too slowly, Zhu Gaoxu had to stay up all night to deal with them. There was even no money in the national treasury to provide equipment for the divine machine.

Zhu Gaoxu took it out of his trouser pocket.

The results of it.

Zhu Gaoxu had just gotten used to handling state affairs and had just emptied his own treasury when Zhu Di suddenly turned against him.

Remove the power of regent.

Not only did I get scolded, I also gained nothing.

I got a state supervision experience card, but it has expired.

Zhu Gaoxu used all this money to stay in taverns all his life and pursue his dream of becoming an emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu was also furious when he heard this.

"Okay, don't talk about this. I get angry when you talk about it."

"Just because of a plan, the old man scolded me."

"Anyway, if I believe him again, I will no longer be called Zhu Gaoxu! I will be called Gou Gaoxu!"

Thinking of what Zhu Di said, he felt angry.

More than ten years have passed, but Zhu Di has not changed.

The words I said back then, "The prince is often ill, and you should encourage him," deceived him for four years.

As a result, I still believe Zhu Di’s bullshit.

Just thinking about it makes me feel a little aggrieved and angry.

At this time, Zhu Gaosui also saw the injury on Zhu Gaoxu's hand.

"Second brother, who did you fight with again?"

"You didn't beat up the old man, did you?"

This was the first time since Zhu Di ascended the throne that he saw Zhu Gaoxu suffer such serious injuries.

A large knife wound.

It is rare to find someone who can hurt Zhu Gaoxu.

Unless it is a sneak attack, using a crossbow or bow and arrow, Zhu Gaoxu can be injured with a knife.

To be honest, it's still rare.

The wounds on Zhu Gaoxu's body were mostly caused by arrows and gunshots, with only a few knife wounds.

Zhu Gaoxu was good at using guns and wore armor when fighting. It was naturally difficult for those who held knives to approach Zhu Gaoxu who held a gun.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly.

"I do think so."

To be honest, he also wanted to beat Zhu Di, but it was just a thought.

Don't dare to do this.

What Zhu Di said was really hurtful.

This is just rubbing salt into his scars.

He doesn't care about his own feelings at all.

"Then what's wrong with you? Is there anyone in the barracks who can hurt you?"

Zhu Gaoxu's face looked very solemn.

"Old Third, you should know that Mr. Yao once said that two rebels appeared in the tavern."

"Right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaosui nodded.
