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

Chapter 5 Moody

Zhu Biao was speechless.

Then he reached out and knocked Zhu Di on the head.

"You are deliberately making things difficult for me, aren't you?"

In his heart, even if Zhu Di had a hundred times the courage, he would not dare to rebel and kill his father.

The entire Ming Dynasty was conquered by his father alone.

Everything they have was given by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Born with a fear of his father's authority, he naturally did not dare to have any improper intentions.

Especially to his father, the emperor, who was extremely oppressive.

"I'm sure you won't."

At least not now.

No one can predict what the future holds.

Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang were all strong fathers.

However, two of them were forced to rebel because of their father's overly strong pressure.

Of course, this is something you should consider.

Zhu Di was only the Prince of Yan, so he felt much less pressure when facing the emperor.

"Father won't, but what about you?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will rebel against you in the future?"

"What will you do then?"

Obviously, he wanted an answer.

He also wanted to know how Zhu Biao would view him by hinting at the answer.

Especially after I rebelled.

At the same time, he was very nervous.

Even one's own sons cannot tolerate such things as treason, let alone brothers.

It would be fine if it was a son, but what if it was a brother?

Looking at Zhu Di who was so serious, Zhu Biao didn't understand why.

But it also gave an answer.

"If this day really comes, you will rebel against me."

"Then I guess I have failed my father's trust, and failed the country and the people of the world."

"If you can help me correct it, I will thank you."

These three sentences made Zhu Di, who was already feeling guilty, feel heartbroken.

However, Zhu Biao did not notice Zhu Di's emotions at this time.

Instead, he warned with some melancholy.

"Old Four, you will be going to be a vassal soon."

"Among my brothers, I am most worried about you. The second oldest is in Xi'an, which is not very close to the grassland."

"The third brother is brave, good at fighting, and not bad at strategy. But you are still like a child, and like to act on impulse."

"The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. You can't let your emotions sway you."

"So, you must promise me to live well."

Zhu Di listened to Zhu Biao's instructions in silence.

Since this is a dream.

Why not try a different ending?

Everything that will happen in the future will be caused by your going to the vassal state.

It all originated from the early deaths of Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying, since this is his dream.

Then why can't I change all this?
"Brother, I won't go to the vassal state anymore."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao was stunned.

The mouth that had been chattering like an old mother giving instructions suddenly stopped.

He looked at Zhu Di with some disbelief.

Only at this moment did he notice the change in Zhu Di's mood.

Although I didn't know what happened, I could feel Zhu Di's guilt and his fear of looking me in the face.

After a moment's silence, Zhu Biao scolded.

"Old Four, don't say this kind of nonsense again!"

"You are the son of our father, and my brother."

"You are the Prince of Yan of the Ming Dynasty. If you don't go to the vassal state, who will guard the border of the Ming Dynasty for me and my father?"

How could a vassal king not go to his fiefdom?
If this gets out, who knows what rumors will arise.

At this moment, Zhu Biao suddenly frowned and asked, "Old Four, are you afraid of death?"

The vassal kings were the first line of defense for the imperial court when facing foreign invasion.

Of course, there are certain risks involved. However, the Yuan court is no longer powerful enough to protect itself.

It is difficult to raise troops to invade the south.

Zhu Di smiled slightly.

"It would be nice if I could really die on the battlefield."

If he could have died on the battlefield, perhaps so many things would not have happened later.

Maybe, it is also a happy ending.

All is well.

Zhu Biao looked helpless and didn't know what had happened to Zhu Di.

It felt very unusual, but I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong.

He slowly placed his hand on Zhu Di's shoulder, soothing his heart, and spoke softly.

"Well, if you don't want to go, then don't go. I will go and talk to my father."

"However, Lao Si, I still hope that you can go to the vassal state."

"Didn't you always say that you wanted to be a great general like Duke Xu who could handle things on his own?"

"In the near future, my father, Xu Da, and my cousin will all grow old. At this time, we will need to step forward and take on our responsibilities."

"I'll be in charge of the rear, and you'll be leading the troops outside. Isn't this a good thing?"

These words clearly demonstrate Zhu Biao's immense trust in Zhu Di.

But for some reason, his unpredictable temper suddenly came to the fore.

He simply shook off Zhu Biao's hand on his shoulder.

He angrily said to Zhu Biao: "Stop pretending to be confused!"

"Historical books from ancient times to the present all talk about four words: compete to become emperor!"

"The royal family is ruthless. Treason is a capital crime!"

"If it really comes to that, either you die or I die!"

"From the moment I became a vassal, you and I are no longer brothers!"

Looking at Zhu Di's hysterical roar, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know what happened to Zhu Di.

I don’t know how to comfort his heart.

At the same time, Zhu Di's words made him not know how to respond.

Angry? Furious? Killing intent? Or scolding...

After a long silence, he spoke softly.

"Old Four, I don't know why you're angry."

"But I know that you have grown up, and it is normal for you to have your own worries."

"Then I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, Zhu Biao just sighed slightly.

Then he turned and left.

There was no scolding, no anger, just a little loneliness and vicissitudes.

But the more Zhu Biao did this, the more hurt Zhu Di felt inside.

For some reason, looking at Zhu Biao's lonely back, Zhu Di felt mixed emotions.

As they get older, they are no longer the same.

Especially the looming pressure on Zhu Biao, which seemed to bend his straight back a little.

Zhu Di realized that his words were a little too harsh.

no matter what.

I shouldn't pour out all my emotions on Zhu Biao.

He didn't do anything wrong. This was all his fault and that bastard Jianwen's fault.

It's my own fault.

It's been more than ten years since we last met.

This should have been a warm and peaceful occasion of reminiscing about the past, but I turned it into this.

He didn't know when his emotions became so unstable.

"Zhu Laosi, ah Zhu Laosi, when did you become like this?"

Zhu Di asked himself.

Let me ask you, how many people in this world can be as tolerant and loving to their younger brother as Zhu Biao was?

The royal family is ruthless, but my father and eldest brother are the ones who value family affection the most.

Ugh……

Go and apologize to your brother.
