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

Chapter 139 Zhu Laosi has become successful and is on par with Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang!

Even if they are my descendants, so what! ?

If you don't respect the laws of your ancestors and don't respect yourself, then why should you show mercy to them?
Even if the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, he could actually accept it.

There is no country in history that lasts forever.

This is the law of history.

But when it comes to changing his temple name, he will really take up the knife.

……

East Palace.

In the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Gaochi muttered with his thick lips, his eyelids drooped, and his eyes scanned the memorial in his hand.

From time to time, he turns his fat body around.

Surrounding him were ministers of the Yongle Dynasty, who assisted Zhu Gaochi in handling state affairs.

Sitting for a long time, coupled with reading memorials, made Zhu Gaochi and his ministers feel a little tired.

Back pain, dry mouth.

As the manager of the harem, the Crown Princess would serve hot tea at critical moments, and if she needed massage services, the palace maids would be on standby at all times.

In order not to hinder her from handling memorials, the palace maids and tea would retreat after a quarter of an hour.

Then, the sounds of discussion and reading memorials continued to be heard in the study.

Just when the Crown Princess was about to leave with her people.

But then a voice was heard outside the East Palace.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the East Palace, right?"

Xu Zengshou nodded.

"Sister, this is definitely the place. It's written on the plaque."

His high-pitched voice instantly attracted the Crown Princess, who frowned slightly.

He asked, "Who is outside?"

The noise was very loud, and Zhu Gaochi and Xia Yuanji were both in the room, discussing state affairs.

Naturally, there must be no disturbance.

Hu Shangyi shook her head slightly.

"I don't know. Judging from the voice, it seems that he is not from the palace."

"They must have come into the palace for some reason. I will drive them away right away so as not to delay His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from handling the memorials."

Can enter the palace.

This means that there is either a connection or an imperial decree.

Therefore, there is no need to be too aggressive, just drive it away.

At this time, Hu Shangyi had already come in front of Xu Miaoyun and Xu Zengshou.

He then said, "This is an important area of the imperial palace. You are not allowed to wander here without permission."

"You two, please leave here as soon as possible."

When Hu Shangyi raised her head and looked at the two of them, she was a little dazed.

It’s strange, why does this woman look so similar to the Queen?
Before Xu Miaoyun could speak, Xu Zengshou spoke casually.

"We are here to look for my nephew."

"Hurry up and get that fat boy out."

Upon hearing this, Hu Shangyi shouted, "Nephew? The prince's three uncles have all passed away long ago, where does this uncle come from?"

"You two, if you don't listen to my advice, I can only send someone to chase you away."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his ministers are handling state affairs in there. If you disturb their peace, both of you will be punished."

Of the prince's three uncles, one died young, one was killed by Emperor Jianwen, and another was imprisoned by the emperor until his death.

How could an uncle appear out of nowhere?
Xu Zengshou was a little distressed: "I am really Gao Chi's uncle, and this is my sister."

"Gao Chi's mother, get him out right away."

"When he comes out, we'll know the truth."

Hu Shangyi frowned immediately.

Although the woman in front of him did look like the deceased queen.

But the Empress had already died of illness, and in the eleventh year of Yongle, her body was transported to the imperial mausoleum in Beijing for burial.

How could he still be alive?

"How dare you pretend to be the uncle of the emperor and the queen! Even if you have ten heads, they are not enough to be chopped off!"

"Someone! Capture these two!"

Xu Zengshou looked at the old woman in front of him and couldn't understand what she was saying.

He quickly protected Xu Miaoyun behind him and said, "Want to fight? Let me tell you, if you hurt my sister even a hair."

"When the fourth one comes back, you will all be beheaded."

"I advise you to think it over carefully!"

Xu Miaoyun looked at Xu Zengshou helplessly, he still hadn't changed.

So he walked up to him and was about to explain.

The Crown Princess also came to the door.

"Shang Yi, why does it take so long to chase someone away..."

Zhang Yan stared at Xu Miaoyun in front of her, stunned where she was, her voice instantly becoming hoarse.

Xu Miaoyun smiled slightly.

"Zhang Yan, you can't be too unrecognizable to me, right?"

Even in the Hongsheng Dynasty, Zhang Yan was his daughter-in-law, so Xu Miaoyun naturally recognized Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan has served Xu Miaoyun for many years.

How could I not know who the person in front of me was?

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang Yan said to Hu Shangyi beside her with a trembling voice: "Go, bring the prince out."

Her voice was a little stammering.

After Hu Shangyi went to invite Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Yan said, "Mother, aren't you dead?"

"The situation is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you later."

at the same time.

Zhu Gaochi and his ministers were just about to start dealing with the memorials.

Hu Shangyi opened the door and said respectfully, "My Lord, the Crown Princess asks you to come out for a moment."

Zhu Gaochi and his ministers were a little confused after hearing this.

"I don't have time right now. Just tell me what you want to say."

Zhu Gaochi was too lazy to move.

But Hu Shangyi insisted, "Your Highness, there is a woman who wants to see you. You have to come out."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi became a little impatient and stood up.

He wanted to see who was so arrogant.

I have to come out and meet him in person.

Zhu Gaochi held up his trousers and cursed: "Who is it? Who made me, the crown prince, condescend to meet you?"

He muttered to himself and, with the help of Hu Shangyi, went out of the house.

Just when he was about to lecture Zhang Yan, he heard a gentle voice.

"Gao Chi, what's wrong? Now that you're the crown prince, are you not going to acknowledge me as your mother?"

As soon as Zhu Gaochi walked out of the room, his legs went limp.

"mother!?!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi, who were inside the house, quickly stood up and went outside.

When looking at Xu Miaoyun standing outside the house as beautiful as jade.

Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi were stunned for a moment, and then they knelt down and said, "Your Highness, we pay our respects to the Queen!"

Xu Miaoyun listened to the calls of the ministers and spoke.

"Please allow us, mother and son, to reminisce about the past."

The ministers were confused about what was going on.

However, the Queen spoke.

They naturally left tactfully.

After they all left, Xu Zengshou and Xu Miaoyun stepped forward and helped Zhu Gaochi up.

As a result, before he could start reminiscing or say a few words.

Then Zhu Di walked in anxiously.

"father?"

Zhu Di ignored Zhu Gaochi's voice, glanced at Xu Miaoyun, and then came to Xu Zengshou.

With a cold expression, he asked, "Zengshou, I have something to ask you."

"Answer truthfully."

Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhang Yan stood aside in a daze.

Not sure what happened.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also walked in.

Zhu Di then asked, "I heard that Emperor Jiajing changed my temple name."

"Change my name from Ming Taizong to Ming Chengzu."

"Is this true?!"

Xu Zengshou glanced at Zhu Gaoxu behind him, and then nodded helplessly. "Gaoxu told you, right? I don't know if it's true, but I did see this scene in my dream."

Zhu Di, who got the exact answer, was immediately furious.

He was so angry that he couldn't stop laughing: "Okay! Okay! Very good! Zhu Houcong!"

"Dad, big brother, it looks like I have another life from the Zhu family on my hands."

After saying this, Zhu Di prepared to return to the palace and take his sword.

If I remember correctly.

This Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houzhao should be the old Taoist priest in the tavern.

It was the old Taoist priest who said it himself. Was there a second emperor in the Jiajing Dynasty?
Originally, he thought that this stinky Taoist priest was the emperor of another family, but who would have thought.

It turns out to be our own.

No wonder I disliked him at first sight.

My feeling is right, I should kill this bastard.

I had originally wanted to reminisce about the past with Xu Miaoyun and spend more time with her.

But when he learned that Emperor Jiajing had tampered with his temple name, he naturally was not in the mood to do so.

He just wanted to wait in the pub now.

When this bastard comes to the tavern, ask him to change his temple name back. If he refuses, chop him off directly without hesitation.

Looking at this scene, Xu Miaoyun was a little confused.

He asked, "Gao Xu, Zengshou, what happened? Why is the fourth brother so angry?"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Yan were also a little curious.

After all, it was rare for Zhu Di to get so angry.

His old face turned red.

Even when Zhu Gaoxu touched his sore spot last time, he was not so angry.

Xu Zengshou said helplessly: "Sister, you have to ask Gao Xu about this."

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi walked forward and asked.

"I say, second brother, what did you say to the old man? He was so angry that his face turned red."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhu Gaochi.

He folded his arms over his chest and spoke calmly.

"What else could it be? The Third Brother, Xu Zengshou and I originally wanted to dream and see which dynasty the old Taoist priest was from."

"I just wanted to take my third uncle out for some fun."

"Who would have thought that this old Taoist priest was actually the emperor of our Ming Dynasty."

"That means your descendants, Boss."

Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Yan, and Xu Miaoyun naturally knew about the dream.

But even if he dreamed about the future, it wouldn't make Zhu Di so angry.

Then, Zhu Gaoxu continued, "Do you know what Zhu Houcong did?"

"He was originally a vassal king, but because the previous emperor had no children, he accidentally became emperor."

"He came to power at the age of fourteen, and in order to enhance the legitimacy of his throne, he moved the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he heard this.

"Could it be that Zhu Houcong has moved my father out of the Imperial Ancestral Temple?"

Normally, moving the Taimiao is a very normal thing.

After all, there are only so many places in the Taimiao, and some people want to go in.

Naturally, someone will come out.

Zhu Gaosui just laughed.

"If we had moved out, Dad wouldn't have been so angry that he would have wanted to kill Zhu Houcong."

To be honest, if Zhu Di had been moved out of the Taimiao, he would not have had the intention to kill him.

Even if he was moved out of the Taimiao, Zhu Di was still Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty.

At most, he is not famous.

Xu Miaoyun was also curious at this time, what had happened that made Zhu Di want to kill her.

"Gao Xu, don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me directly."

Hearing his mother speaking, Zhu Gaoxu nodded respectfully.

"Yes, although Zhu Houcong did not move my father out of the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

"But he changed his father's temple name and posthumous title. Emperor Taizong of Ming became Emperor Chengzu of Ming, and the posthumous title, which originally meant succession, became a posthumous title of creation."

Zhu Gaochi, Xu Miaoyun and Zhang Yan were all stunned.

What the hell?
Change Ming Taizong to Ming Chengzu?

To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen such a... I don’t know how to describe someone.

What Zhu Di cared about most was his reputation in history books and Zhu Yuanzhang's recognition.

The temple name is Taizong, which basically means inheritance.

For example, Emperor Taizong of Han Liu Heng, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, and Emperor Taizong of Song Zhao Guangyi.

Although he did not become emperor through formal channels.

However, Taizong has a high gold content and a good meaning, mostly meaning inheritance.

Moreover, basically the second emperor of every dynasty was given the temple name Taizong.

And Chengzu means founder, which means that Zhu Di's story of quelling the rebellion was directly written in the history books.

He was afraid that others didn't know that Zhu Di became emperor by rebelling.

Zhu Gaosui then laughed and said, "Boss, tell me whether this is funny or not."

"My father spent so much effort to change the fourth year of Jianwen to the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, Fengtian Jingnan, and changed it to inheriting the throne of Taizu."

"He toiled all his life, fought for his country all his life, just for a reputation, so that his descendants wouldn't call him a thief from Yan."

"In order to cleanse the word treason."

"I didn't work hard to get this, but I finally got the title of Taizong."

"This Zhu Houcong is so good, without saying anything, he changed his name to Chengzu directly."

"If I remember correctly, our grandfather should still be alive."

"Tell me, if Emperor Taizu knew that our father was on equal footing with him, would Emperor Taizu pick up a knife and chase after our father to chop him?"

Taizu, Chengzu, obviously.

After changing the temple name, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang were now on equal footing.

They are all ancestors.

I had heard from Zhuang Mu before that a man who claimed to be Zhu Yuanzhang appeared in the tavern.

Although his identity has not yet been confirmed.

However, it seems unlikely to be fake.

Zhu Gaochi felt helpless.

"Are you sure you read it right? It was changed to Chengzu?"

Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly: "Nonsense, we can see it clearly when we go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

"Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, and our father's portrait, is it necessary for Third Uncle to lie?"

After getting his confirmation, Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt helpless.

What are these things?

First it was Zhu Qizhen, and later Zhu Houcong. Why did it seem like all of their descendants were weird?

Chengzu...

Well, if Emperor Taizu knew about this, it would be possible that he would pick up a knife and chop the old man down.

He also stayed with Zhu Yuanzhang for a period of time.

He knew very well how much Zhu Yuanzhang valued rules.

Of course, these rules were set by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

But now, the old man can actually be on equal footing with him.

If Zhu Yuanzhang didn't get angry, he wouldn't be the extremely murderous Emperor Taizu.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu knelt down directly in front of Xu Miaoyun.

Then he kowtowed a few times.

"Mom, I'm sorry for your teachings, but there are some things I must do."

Xu Miaoyun looked at this scene, feeling a little confused.

"Gao Xu, what are you doing?"

Zhu Gaoxu was still kneeling. Xu Miaoyun was weak to begin with, so there was no way she could help him up.

"Mom, promise me that you won't be angry when I tell you about this."

"Take care of yourself. This is a matter between me and my elder brother. You can't interfere too much."

Xu Miaoyun instantly realized that something must have happened in the dream.

So, he looked towards Xu Zengshou.

He asked, "Zengshou, what does Gao Xu mean by this?"

Xu Zengshou turned his head away, not daring to face his sister, and said directly: "I don't know."

He actually doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

If you participate, you can help one.

Help whom? Help Zhu Gaoxu kill his nephew?
Help Zhu Zhanji kill his uncle?
