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

Chapter 151 Zhu Yuanzhang: Yao Guangxiao, I heard that you are also a monk?
Follow the sound.

A tall middle-aged man in a yellow robe was standing at the door. He brushed the snow off his shoulders with his broad hands.

He raised his head, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, just like a farmer, and his shoulders stood like mountains. A farmer can also shoulder the responsibility of the rise and fall of the world.

Both a farmer and an emperor.

Zhu Gaochi heard the voice and suddenly felt it was familiar.

No, probably not.

He slowly turned his head and saw the appearance of his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang.

When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face clearly, Zhu Gaochi stood there in a daze.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked slowly and steadily to the counter.

Zhu Gaochi's gaze was always on Zhu Yuanzhang.

"It seems that we have arrived at the right time."

Zhuang Mu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him and said tentatively.

"You are...Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang?"

My consciousness was a little fuzzy at the time. Although I had a general idea, I was not sure.

Is this person Zhu Yuanzhang?

He wore a golden black gauze Yishan crown, a yellow robe, and had a strong and round figure. These features all indicated that this man was Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, there were relatively few emperors of the Ming Dynasty who were strong and had wheat-colored skin.

Most of them are thin and fair.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled calmly: "Even your grandfather doesn't dare to call me by my name like that, never mind. Let's not make a fuss about it."

It turned out to be the real Zhu Yuanzhang.

But what does he mean by saying this?

Zhuang Mu was quite curious about his grandfather.

So, he asked, "Do you know my grandfather?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes.

"More than knowing each other."

Just at this moment, Yao Guangxiao pushed the door open.

Looking at Yao Guangxiao who was late today, Zhuang Mu asked.

"Old monk, why are you not on time today? What's the matter?"

Yao Guangxiao stomped at the door. Walking between the tavern and Jiming Temple, his shoes were inevitably stained with mud.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked towards the door.

With a smiling and amiable look, strangers would definitely think that he is kind and friendly.

Yao Guangxiao did not raise his head and explained, "I went to the Jinyiwei prison."

Of course there is a reason for being late.

Some time ago, he asked Zhu Di to release the monk beside Emperor Jianwen.

As a result, Zhu Di ordered Zhu Gaosui to carry out this task, but Zhu Gaosui was busy and forgot about it.

As a result, this man stayed in the imperial prison for a few more months.

In order to prevent any accidents, he went there in person.

Then, when Yao Guangxiao was about to walk into the tavern and looked up at the counter.

But he was stunned.

The old body was trembling slightly.

His pupils were constantly expanding, and Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance was reflected in his eyes.

He froze in place.

This was also the first time that Zhuang Mu saw the old monk with such an expression.

Come to think of it, the fighting within the Zhu family was instigated by Yao Guangxiao.

It's impossible not to be afraid when seeing Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yao Guangxiao, if I remember correctly, this is your name, right?"

"The most meritorious official in the Jingnan Rebellion, and the most senior adviser beside the Fourth Brother."

"It is said that monks are compassionate, but the two most famous monks in our Ming Dynasty have the blood of countless people on their hands."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be smiling, and spoke in a tone that was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

"Don't you think this is a little ridiculous?"

"Alas, after killing millions of soldiers from Jiangnan, the precious sword on my waist is still bloody."

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang took small steps and slowly walked in front of Yao Guangxiao.

The old monk is old and a little hunched.

Zhu Yuanzhang was tall, and his eyes were cold as he looked down at Yao Guangxiao.

He slowly arched his back, leaned over Yao Guangxiao, and said coldly: "You provoked a fight among our Zhu family, old man, should we kill you?"

Yao Guangxiao felt a chill in his heart.

The overwhelming momentum made his already unstable legs even softer.

It still has that familiar taste.

I have never been so scared even when facing Zhu Di.

In this world, only Emperor Taizu can make me feel afraid.

Just as Yao Guangxiao was about to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang put away his cold smile.

He chuckled and said, "We should have a lot of common topics. Wouldn't it be a pity to kill you?"

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao was a little stunned.

common topic?

monk?

This is indeed true. I have heard that Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk when he was in his prime.

This is also why, although the status of monks in the Ming Dynasty was not as high as that in the Yuan Dynasty, it was above the imperial power.

But it also has a certain status.

The reason why he was able to become Zhu Di's confidant was because of the court's system towards monks.

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and came to Zhu Gaochi.

He pinched Zhu Gaochi's fat face, then sat down.

Feeling the broad palm.

Zhu Gaochi felt warm in his heart.

It seems that the Emperor should have recognized my identity.

Otherwise, he wouldn't pinch his cheeks like this.

"What did you just say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhuang Mu.

"You know my grandfather." Zhuang Mu reminded.

"Oh yeah, if I'm not mistaken, your father should still hate your grandfather, right?"

Zhuang Mu was a little surprised.

How come Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this?
As far as Zhuang Mu could remember, his father rarely mentioned Zhu Yuanzhang.

Just live a stable life in Yingtianfu.

But looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, why does it seem that the Zhuang family and the Zhu family are deeply involved?
"how do you know?"

At this time, Yao Guangxiao also came to the counter and sat on the right side of Zhu Gaochi.

They were all a little surprised.

Why did Emperor Taizu know about Zhuang Mu and seem to be deeply involved with him?

But during the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang never mentioned Zhuang Mu's grandfather.

"We also know that you and your grandfather have the same abilities."

"Create dreams, control dreams, and even open up a channel between dreams and reality."

“But we need something to serve as a medium.”

"The family has been making wine for generations, so this thing is naturally wine."

Zhuang Mu was silent.

Why do I feel that Zhu Yuanzhang understands my abilities better than I do?

At this time, Zhu Gaochi was also a little confused.

He asked, "Grandpa Emperor, what is going on?"

"Why do you feel like you know everything?"

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled.

"This matter is a long story."

"Gao Chi, go find your father quickly. We need to see him."

"When he comes, we will explain the matter clearly."

Upon seeing this, Zhu Gaochi quickly stood up and picked up his jade belt.

Walked towards the outside of the house.

Although he lost his position as crown prince, he still had many servants serving him.

With the appearance of Emperor Taizu, it seems that some changes need to be made to his plans.

He originally planned to.

If Zhu Di insisted on deposing the crown prince, he would not change his mind.

Then I won’t fight anymore and use Zhuang Mu’s ability to go to Hong Shengchao.

Although he went to Hong Sheng Dynasty, his status was not as good as before.

But at least I can survive.

This is also the reason why I appeared in the tavern.

Prepare for the worst outcome.

During the Hong Sheng Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't kill him even if he wanted to.

And now.

With the emergence of Emperor Taizu, things began to develop in an unpredictable direction.

"Given Grandpa Emperor's personality, I'm afraid he will definitely interfere in the government affairs of the Yongle Dynasty."

"Oh my God, do I have to be the crown prince?"

Zhu Gaochi left the tavern.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, with a slight smile on his face.

Although I am not very interested in being an emperor, it would be best if I could be one.

Given the character of my grandfather Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, if possible.

He even wanted to shoulder all the political affairs of the Ming Dynasty. But human energy is limited after all.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

However, the most urgent task now is to tell the old man the news that Taizu appeared in the tavern.

At the same time, Xu Zengshou had to go back to Hongsheng Dynasty to pass on the message.

The truth will then come to light.

Why did Emperor Taizu know about the Jingnan Campaign?

"Lift the sedan chair and return to the palace."

Zhu Gaochi rode in a sedan chair and headed towards the palace.

……

In the palace.

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the dragon throne, feeling the pressure of this long-desired position.

Although the regent was in office for a while some time ago.

But now, this chair is permanent.

At this time, Zhu Gaosui was also looking at Zhu Gaoxu with a smile.

"Second brother, you are the prince now."

"But don't forget your promise."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand calmly.

"Old Third, are you afraid that I won't keep my promise?"

"Don't worry, I'll write a petition to ask for your help in a few days."

Zhu Gaosui was naturally happy to get Zhu Gaoxu's promise.

I never expected that one day I would become emperor.

The joy in my heart is naturally self-evident.

Things in dreams are still somewhat illusory after all, and the throne of the Yongle Dynasty is what really makes people sink.

"So, second brother, what are you going to do with the eldest brother?"

"There are many officials in the court who are still loyal to the boss."

"These days, I don't know how many memorials have been sent to persuade the old man to think twice."

Feel the chill from Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaoxu looked up at Zhu Gaosui.

After a moment's silence, he asked, "So what do you want to do?"

Zhu Gaosui had no hesitation about this.

He just made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Kill the boss?"

Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "It's not enough to just kill the eldest brother, we have to kill his whole family."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was slightly stunned.

"Third brother, my father and I promised that if I ascend the throne, we will let bygones be bygones."

"Whether it's the boss or Zhu Zhanji, I won't touch them at all."

"Let them be at peace and just be a vassal king."

Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Gaoxu in silence.

Some people said in disbelief: "I say, second brother, when did you become so kind?"

"Promises? Promises are bullshit."

"Have you forgotten what you said to that kid Zhu Zhanji?"

"The royal family is ruthless. Either you die or I die."

"If you are too soft-hearted, you won't be able to hold this position."

Perhaps it was Zhu Di's disrespect of his promise that caused Zhu Gaoxu to attach extraordinary importance to the word "promise".

If you have nothing, you will desire something.

He hated Zhu Di's breach of trust, and naturally, he didn't want to be like his father.

Therefore, he promised to share the world with Zhu Gaosui and they did so.

No second thoughts.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu, he remained silent.

Zhu Gaosui continued to persuade him, "Second brother, which emperor can you see who keeps his promise?"

"You are all people who don't keep their words. If you keep your promise like this, you will be trapped to death by this thing sooner or later."

“You have to be flexible.”

Commitments do bring great credibility value.

At the same time, it will also bring certain shackles.

Now Zhu Gaoxu was obviously bound by the promise.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Gaosui's anxious look, but he still couldn't bear to attack his own brother.

Think back to the past.

Although he often bullied Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochi still protected him.

The deterioration of his relationship with Zhu Gaochi actually started with a statement made by Zhu Di during the Jingnan Campaign.

Later, he and Zhu Zhanji quarreled frequently and their relationship became worse and worse.

This has led to the current life-and-death situation.

But Zhu Gaochi still tried his best to maintain family harmony.

If there was no Jingnan.

Why did my brother and I come to this?

Zhu Gaoxu sighed, "Third brother, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

"Since I said I would not kill the boss, I must keep my word."

"Third brother, don't even think about doing anything bad to the eldest brother. If he dies."

"That means I don't respect my promise. Now that I've started, isn't it the same whether I respect one promise or two promises?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaosui fell silent.

These words are obviously a warning to myself.

If Zhu Gaochi died, he would not keep his promise and share the world with him.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaosui had no choice but to give up.

At this time.

Snot walked in.

He bowed and said respectfully, "My Lord, the Emperor has summoned you."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other and went to Zhu Di's Shangshufang together.

Wait until he arrives at the Shangshufang.

Then he saw Zhu Di leaning on a chair with his eyes closed, resting.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."

Zhu Di waved his sleeves.

"Dad, are you looking for me?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

"Have you decided on the candidate for the Crown Prince?"

Deposing the crown prince means that the crown prince will also be deposed.

Vacant position.

Of course it needs to be filled.

Establishing the Grandson as the Crown Prince can further consolidate Zhu Gaoxu's position as the Crown Prince.

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a moment.

"I'll pick one as soon as possible."

Zhu Di opened his eyes, put down his legs on the dragon table, and stood up.

“Don’t rush it, but don’t delay it too long either.”

"I don't have many years left."

"The selection of the crown prince must be carefully considered, but we must not allow any more royal family fighting or fratricide to occur."

"Once, twice, but never three times."

"If the third case of princes fighting for the throne occurs, it will become a routine."

"Believe me, neither you nor I want to see this scene."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

"clear."

"Also, we need to do a good job of post-processing."

"The boss has made contributions in governing the country and supervising the nation, but he was betrayed by his descendants in later generations."

"If possible, give him as many rewards and fiefs as possible."

"It can be said that as a father, I owe him."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded frequently.

If Zhu Gaochi could be properly settled.

Perhaps, in the Ming Dynasty, the words "royal family is ruthless" will no longer exist.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not treat big brother unfairly."

In the future, Zhu Gaochi did not owe himself anything. After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he rewarded himself with a large amount of money and land.

I can't do any worse than my eldest brother.

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

at this time.

Little Sniffle hurried to Zhu Di and reported: "Your Majesty, the prince is here."

Zhu Gaochi was no longer the crown prince, so naturally he could not be called the crown prince.

"Boss?"

"Let him in."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were both a little surprised.

If I remember correctly, shouldn't Zhu Gaochi have gone to the tavern?

Why does he want to meet the emperor as soon as he comes back?

Moreover, it seemed that the tavern had only been open for a short time.

strangeness.

Are you unwilling to give up? Do you still want to fight for it?
