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

Chapter 145 Brothers reunited, Zhu Biao also wanted to dream
Everyone can speak.

The hardest part is doing what you say.

The old man promised in person that the prince was ill and you should encourage him, but it was all bullshit.

"Boy, don't say that I, your uncle, bully you."

"The royal family is ruthless. This has been the truth since ancient times. Don't hold back."

"I won't show mercy either."

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Even I, who haven't read much, know this clearly. You have read so many books, so you must understand it too."

After saying this, Zhu Gaoxu directly drove Zhu Zhanji away.

Wait until he leaves.

Zhu Gaosui slowly walked out of the house.

Looking at the third brother in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Third brother, have you finished what I asked you to do?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaosui looked worried.

"I have sent someone to contact our old brothers."

"Their attitude is very vague."

"It seems that they have either been bribed by the boss, or they are worried about the situation and are unwilling to side with us."

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a long time.

"It seems that we need to win over some people. It's hard for us to fight the boss alone."

"It's not good enough."

He was naturally aware of Zhu Gaochi's abilities.

It is wishful thinking to want to defeat Zhu Gaochi with the current strength.

Most of the civil and military officials in the court supported the crown prince, but Zhu Gaochi was an old fox.

If you are not careful, you may step into the abyss.

He didn't want to fight with Zhu Gaochi, but if he wanted to kill Zhu Zhanji, he had to get past Zhu Gaochi.

"It's mainly because of that idiot Qiu Fu, who could have wiped out the entire army in a fight with the Tatars."

"Otherwise, I'm more than that."

In the early days of the founding of the country, most generals supported him.

Among them, Qiu Fu was the leader.

Who would have thought that Qiu Fu's entire army would be wiped out during the attack on the Tatar tribe, and he would still run back with a lick of his face.

In this battle, all the soldiers who supported him were killed.

The remaining forces were completely divided up by the old man Zhu Di.

If you want to win, you must regain military power and the support of your own party members.

"So, second brother, what should we do now?"

"The boss's followers are all over the government and the country. Unless there is a war, we can accumulate some power."

"Otherwise, with the current situation, we won't be able to beat the boss."

Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be thinking about something.

Suddenly, he recalled, there seemed to be someone he could fight for.

"Third brother, have you forgotten that we still have someone we can fight for?"

Is there anyone else?

Zhu Gaosui's brain was spinning wildly.

"You mean... my third uncle Xu Zengshou?"

He nodded.

"That's right, I don't know what Xu Zengshou's status is in the other world."

"But here, he is the Duke and Dad's brother-in-law."

"We just need to have a certain base. We don't need to try to expand our influence too much, or Dad will be afraid of me."

Seeing this, Zhu Gaosui smiled and nodded.

This is true.

"Second brother, I forgot to tell you that we still have a trump card in our hands."

"King bomb?"

Zhu Gaosui nodded with a smile.

"Zhu Houcong, you should know, right?"

Of course he knew this.

He is the Emperor Jiajing who changed his temple name.

Then, Zhu Gaosui continued, "Zhu Houcong is a very smart person, and he is very clear about power tactics and other aspects."

"Recently, after Mr. Yao's contact with Zhu Houcong, he concluded that Zhu Houcong has the potential to be a wise ruler."

"Old man, because of this incident, I didn't pursue the matter of Zhu Houcong changing his temple name too much, and even regained some of my love for Zhu Zhanji."

"But what they don't know is."

"On the surface, Zhu Houcong is a wise ruler."

"But in fact, Emperor Jiajing was a truly incompetent ruler."

A mediocre person is definitely not like that. He has capabilities, but he doesn’t do good things.

No matter how capable he is, he is still a tyrant.

"As long as we raise our father's expectations of Zhu Houcong infinitely, we can then praise him to death."

“The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.”

"You know the old man's character very well. What can't you do when you're angry?"

The higher you hold it, the harder it falls.

This is also why he did not reveal anything about Zhu Houcong's stupidity in the tavern.

Of course, because the dream didn’t last long, they didn’t really know much about Zhu Houcong.

But judging by the people's livelihood at that time, he was not a good emperor.

I'll have to dream again to find out the details.

Listening to Zhu Gaosui's plan.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly laughed, patted Zhu Gaosui on the shoulder, then leaned forward and said with a smile.

"It is my fortune to have such a brother."

In response to his second brother's praise, Zhu Gaosui just smiled.

"It is my honor to have such a brother."

The brothers looked at each other and smiled.

……

at the same time.

As for Zhu Zhanji, he suffered a setback in the Prince of Han's Mansion.

He then went secretly to a house.

As you walk in, the first thing you see is Sun Ruowei.

Looking at Sun Ruowei in front of him, Zhu Zhanji had a lot of thoughts.

That’s right, my third uncle Zhu Gaosui brought people and followed my grandfather’s edict to sentence Sun Ruowei to death.

Who would have thought that Zhu Gaosui did not really sentence Sun Ruowei to death. After she drank the poison, she suddenly woke up half a day later.

"Uncle San, what on earth do you want to do?"

He didn't understand why Zhu Gaosui didn't really kill Sun Ruowei.

What is the purpose?

Does he want to use Sun Ruowei as a killer move, or does he have other plans?

At the same time, Zhu Zhanji was also very conflicted because Sun Ruowei was still alive.

It will always be a big worry to you.

If grandpa knew that Sun Ruowei was alive, I would completely lose his favor.

He knew Zhu Di's character very well.

No room for deception.

It’s easy to explain if you do something wrong.

"My second uncle is determined to fight me to the death. If I give Ruo Wei as a handle to my third uncle, I'm afraid my position as the crown prince will be in jeopardy..."

Zhu Zhanji murmured in his heart.

At this time, Sun Ruowei also discovered that Zhu Zhanji had arrived.

So he walked forward to greet her and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you worried about something? Tell me, maybe I can help you share your worries."

The moment Zhu Zhanji raised his head, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

However, it was quickly suppressed.

After all, she is a childhood sweetheart, so I can’t really do anything to her.

You should go ask Dad.

"You stay here these days and don't contact anyone."

"I'll send someone to bring you the things you need for life."

After saying this, Zhu Zhanji left without staying for long.

Prepare to return to the palace to ask his father's opinion.

Of course, it was impossible to tell Yao Guangxiao about this matter. If I told him, it would definitely reach my grandfather's ears.

The most important thing is that he didn't know what his uncle was thinking.

Return to the palace.

As usual, Zhu Gaochi, accompanied by his ministers, handled court affairs.

However, this time it was exceptionally quiet.

Ever since they saw the Queen coming back from the dead, their hearts have been filled with curiosity.

Coincidentally, Zhu Zhanji came here at this time.

"Dad, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Xia Yuanji and the others left consciously.

There were only two people, father and son, left in the study.

Zhu Gaochi said without even raising his head: "Tell me what's the matter."

Zhu Zhanji looked a little hesitant, but it was a matter concerning their family and also his own crown prince's throne.

My father must be informed of this matter.

"Dad, do you still remember Ruo Wei?"

Zhu Gaochi flipped through the memorial in his hand and said calmly, "Remember, wasn't she sentenced to death by the old man?"

Zhu Zhanji looked a little hesitant.

Zhu Gaochi, noticing something strange, raised his head slightly and frowned.

Seriously said: "Zhanji, she is not dead, right?!"

Obviously, that hesitant look proved that his guess was correct.

Upon learning of this, Zhu Gaochi stood up abruptly and said angrily, "Stupid!"

"Your grandfather has already spoken, and you still dare to keep her alive?!"

"Do you know what will happen to you if your grandfather knows about this?!"

Zhu Zhanji hurriedly explained.

"Dad, it's really not what I think."

"It's Uncle San."

"At that time, my third uncle came to my house with poisoned wine. I had already given up resisting."

"Who would have thought that Ruo Wei would wake up in just half a day after drinking Uncle San's poisoned wine."

"Uncle San even went to report to Grandpa that she was dead."

"I really don't understand what Uncle San is going to do."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi frowned.

Was it Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui's doing?
That would be troublesome.

Zhu Gaochi was somewhat helpless. He rubbed his temple with his fat hands and said, "So what are you going to do?"

"You want to keep it a secret?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "I just don't know what to do, so I came to ask you."

Although my father is sometimes cowardly, this is only relative.

"Go find your grandfather and tell him the whole story."

"Let your grandfather make the decision."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji looked a little hesitant. "But Dad, if Grandpa finds out, what if he blames me?"

"If it doesn't work, I will... kill her."

Zhu Zhanji said, gritting his teeth.

Faced with the choice between the throne and women, Zhu Zhanji was a little hesitant, but ultimately chose the latter.

After all, if he lost, both he and Sun Ruowei would die.

It would be better for one to die and save yourself.

It may be cruel, but there is nothing we can do about it.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and then spoke.

"inappropriate."

"If you kill Sun Ruowei now, you will really walk into the trap dug by your third uncle."

Zhu Zhanji was a little confused.

"why?"

Zhu Gaochi let out a long sigh.

"I guess the place where you placed Sun Ruowei has been monitored by the third brother."

"If you dare to do anything to him, he will go to your grandfather and blame you for it."

"They said you disobeyed the emperor's order and concealed the fact that he was not dead. When the time comes, we will investigate and there will be no evidence to prove your mistake."

"Your grandfather only knows that you deceived him, and after being reported, you cruelly killed the person you loved."

"In this way, you will completely lose the trust and goodwill of your grandfather."

Zhu Zhanji was slightly stunned.

Looking at his silly look, Zhu Gaochi chuckled and said helplessly.

"Don't look at your Third Uncle, he seems to be friendly on the surface, but actually..."

"He was much more ruthless than your second uncle."

"When it comes to the ability to frame someone, there is no one better than him."

After thinking for a moment.

Zhu Gaochi then thought of a way to break the impasse.

"All you can do is explain the reason to your grandfather."

"A word-for-word explanation, regardless of anger or indignation."

“Sincerity can sometimes be a powerful weapon.”

"Remember, don't hide anything from your grandfather, not even your feelings or your thoughts."

Zhu Zhanji had naturally seen Yao Guangxiao play cards, and the meaning of the king bomb was the biggest bomb in a deck of cards.

Get answers.

He quickly took action.

……

At this time, Zhu Di was still in the tavern.

Calculate the time.

It’s almost time to meet my eldest brother.

Naturally, he didn't dare to neglect it.

Although they are both emperors, once they discard their identity as emperor, the eldest brother is still the eldest brother.

Moreover, he also wanted to ask Zhu Biao what he thought of Zhu Houcong.

Soon, a voice was heard at the door.

"Old Four, you're here so early."

Zhu Biao, wearing a yellow dragon robe, looked at Zhu Di, who was in a daze and wearing a black jacket.

He took off his coat and hung it at the door.

Zhu Di stood up to greet him: "Brother, you are finally here."

"sit."

He personally pulled out a chair for Zhu Biao, leaving a suitable spot for him to sit down.

Then sit opposite him.

After Zhu Biao sat down.

Looking at the expression on Zhu Di's face, Zhu Biao guessed at a glance that Zhu Di was worried about something.

However, there was no rush to ask.

"How is it? Any news about Father?"

Zhu Di shook his head slightly.

"Father hasn't come these days."

"I don't know, maybe he can't come, or there are other reasons."

According to Zhuang Mu, when Zhu Yuanzhang came for the first time, he said he would come again tomorrow.

The result will come tomorrow.

There are so many tomorrows. Almost a month has passed and there is no sign of them.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao consoled him, "This tavern is special. I guess it's not that Father doesn't want to come, but he's being blocked from entering."

"By the way, do you have a way to keep this tavern open at all times?"

Zhu Di shook his head slightly.

"You'd have to ask Zhuang Mu, but he spends a lot of time sleeping every day, so he probably doesn't have the energy to study these things."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao did not force it.

"Oh, by the way, I searched through the Yao family register, but didn't see Yao Guangxiao's name."

Zhu Di was slightly stunned.

I almost forgot that Yao Guangxiao’s real name was not Yao Guangxiao. Guangxiao was a given name.

So he told Zhu Biao Yao Guangxiao's real name.

Then, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao with a slightly sad expression, wanting to say something but unable to open his mouth.

Zhu Biao had no choice but to ask himself.

"Old Four, when I came in just now, I saw you looked sad. What happened?"

The eldest brother asked.

Zhu Di naturally did not hide it.

He sighed and said, "Brother, you should know what Zhuang is capable of."

"I can travel to the past through special dreams and change the past."

"Similarly, this special dream can also travel into the future."

"A few days ago, Zhu Gaoxu took Xu Zengshou to the future, the Jiajing Dynasty."

“I learned there that… my temple name had been changed.”

"It was changed from Taizong to Chengzu."

Zhu Biao was slightly startled.

Changed from Taizong to Chengzu?

Doesn't that mean Zhu Di's status is higher than mine?
On par with dad.

Xu Yungong, who was beside Zhu Biao, heard this and asked Xu Zengshou beside him quietly, "Will there be descendants in the future who do not respect the teachings of their ancestors?"

Xu Zengshou nodded slightly.

"This... If I could come to the tavern anytime, I might be able to help you resist a little."

"It's just that this tavern is not open sometimes. If the emperor comes here, I can't resist you."

Zhu Biao naturally knew what his old-fashioned father was thinking.

How can a son be equal to his father?

The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are what Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to.

Even though he was the legitimate crown prince, he had made great achievements.

After all, he could not be on equal footing with Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is not a question of ability or attitude, it's a question of rules.

No rules no standards.

This is my father's thought.

Zhu Di was helpless: "Alas, fortunately Zhu Houcong is a wise ruler, otherwise I would really kill him."

"Brother, if I kill Zhu Houcong, you and dad won't blame me, right?"

Hearing this, Lan Yu and Xu Yungong beside him twitched their lips slightly.

Zhu Biao was also slightly silent.

Good boy, are you addicted to killing?
Not even letting your own grandchildren go?

"It would be best if we could resolve the issue peacefully."

"Don't resort to violence."

"However, this is indeed a rare thing. Changing Taizong to Zu... Fourth Brother, you are the first person in history to do so."

Zhu Biao smiled.

This is indeed the case. Taizong is regarded as the ancestor throughout the ages.

It seems that even in those absurd times, such a thing has never happened.

Listening to Zhu Biao's jokes, Zhu Di was in a bad mood.

"Oh, stop laughing at me."

Zhu Biao coughed lightly twice.

"You don't have to worry about it. Didn't you say that Zhu Houcong was a wise ruler?"

"Although he changed your temple name, perhaps Father will like him very much."

"Maybe he can be less angry."

There is no doubt that there will be wise rulers and rulers who will revive the country in later generations.

As the founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely like to see it.

On the contrary, if future generations were all ridiculous and absurd monarchs.

It is conceivable that with my father's violent temper, if no one persuaded him.

Who knows, his hands might be stained with the blood of some of the Zhu family members.

"By the way, Lao Si, I wonder if I can also have a drink made by Zhuang Mu."

Hearing this, Zhu Di was a little surprised.

"Brother, what do you want to dream about?"

If I remember correctly, Zhu Biao in my dream also had a happy life.

Logically speaking, there should be no regrets.

He is the authentic Emperor Taizong Wen.

He himself was Emperor Chengzu.

Oh, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Should I change my temple name back now?
It seems that I need to ask the second and third children to go and take a look in a few days.

"Don't worry about it."

Zhu Di nodded.

"Of course it's possible. The price of the drinks is not high."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao slowly stood up and said with a smile.

"That's good."

"Next time I come, I'd like to have a drink, too."

"Old Four, don't forget to tell Zhuang Mu for me when the time comes."

"Let him leave one cup for me."

"Also, if there is any news about our father, please let Zengshou inform me."

"I have already informed Xiong Ying to suspend Zeng Shou's appointment."

"Substitute."

"He can stay here in peace."

"And my sister-in-law too. I have already sent the message to Prince Yan's Mansion, so I don't think there will be any problem."

Zhu Di stood up.

Looking at Zhu Biao who was about to leave, I felt mixed emotions.

Just leave.
