Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 131 Fourth Uncle Wants to Follow Me?

"Uh..." Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunhuan nodded, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "From being a beggar, you built the Ming Dynasty step by step. I admit that you are very capable, but when it comes to manipulating things, you'd better forget about it. You really can't handle that."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, then said, "Now we know."

At this point, he looked at Zhu Yunhuan with a strange look in his eyes: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is here to take care of the aftermath for this old man."

Zhu Yunhuan remained silent and said, "In fact, your biggest problem is that you have never put yourself in the position of an emperor. As the old saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you see. If you put yourself in the position of a commoner, then what you see is bound to be full of limitations, and..."

"And what?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Yunhuan said: "Moreover, what you think is good for the people, in fact, the final result is not good for the people, and it even increases the burden on the people."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was bitter and he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, let's stop here today. I'm leaving first!" Zhu Yunheng stood up and walked out of the yard.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked at Zhu Yunhuan's departing figure: "Yunhuan."

His expression was extremely complicated, but after a moment, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said with emotion: "God has been very kind to me, Zhu Chongba!"

Outside, it was already dark.

"Squeak!" Zhu Yunhuan pushed open the yard door and walked out.

At this moment, he felt very comfortable.

This feeling cannot be described in words.

In the future, whether you have something to do or not, you can come to this courtyard often to sit!
"His Majesty!"

When Jiang Li and Ma Sanbao saw Zhu Yunhuan coming out, they immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunhuan nodded slightly and walked towards the palace.

"Your Majesty, the second young master just went to the palace to look for you and is waiting for you there now." Ma Sanbao said.

"Oh? Second brother is looking for me? What's the matter?" Zhu Yunhuan asked.

Ma Sanbao shook his head and said, "The Second Young Master didn't say anything, but it seems he was beaten. According to the eunuch who delivered the message, he is now bruised and battered, and looks miserable."

"The second brother was beaten?" Zhu Yunhuan was startled, then his face turned cold. He said, "Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know." Ma Sanbao shook his head.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded without asking any further questions, but a deep sense of doubt rose in his heart: "How dare someone in Yingtian Prefecture today attack the Second Brother?"

Who in the entire Yingtian Prefecture doesn’t know that Zhu Gaoxu is his man?
Dare to touch Zhu Gaoxu, it means you don’t take him seriously!

Around the corner!
Tang He stepped out, watched Zhu Yunhuan leave, and sighed, "I don't know how the conversation between the emperor's grandson Yunhuan and His Majesty went."

Shaking his head, he walked towards the courtyard.

"Squeak!" Tang He pushed open the yard door and walked in.

"Your Majesty!" Tang He came to Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed.

"Get up!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, a smile on his face. "You're really good at timing. Yunhuan just left and you came here. You must have been waiting outside for a long time, right?"

"Hmm?" Tang He was startled when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression. "Judging from your Majesty's expression, could it be that you had a very pleasant conversation with the Emperor's grandson, Yun Hun?"

He was a little stunned.

Zhu Yunhuan was imprisoned in Fengyang for three years, and his throne was given to Zhu Yunwen by Zhu Yuanzhang. Under such circumstances, could Zhu Yunhuan have a good face towards Zhu Yuanzhang?

However, it was clear from Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance that he was in a very good mood.

"What is going on?" Tang He was extremely confused.

However, he also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this.

Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Yuanzhang had a very pleasant conversation, which is a good thing!

He had been very worried about some bad consequences, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

He shook his head and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I just arrived too, so I didn't wait too long."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hesitate, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, sit down and talk!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tang He nodded, found a stool and sat down. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, I see that your conversation with the grandson of the Emperor Yunhu just now seemed to go well."

"Not bad? I guess so!" said Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then he added, "That kid Yunxun was scolding us the whole time."

"Uh..." Tang He paused as the words were about to come out of his mouth, feeling a little confused. "No, I was scolding you the whole time, and you call that a good conversation? How can you still be so happy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Tang He's strange look, as if he saw through his thoughts. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I didn't lie. During the whole process of getting along, Yun Hun was either scolding me or blaming me, but I am in a very good mood now!"

"Could it be that His Majesty has developed some special habit due to guilt?" Tang He looked at him strangely and thought secretly.

If he were to encounter Zhu Yuanzhang's current situation, he would probably collapse.

This is normal. When people encounter major changes, there is a high probability that their psychology will become distorted.

This is what is called a drastic change in personality!
"What are you looking at?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little uncomfortable with Tang He's gaze and frowned.

Tang He's expression changed when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure.

If Zhu Yuanzhang is really as he thinks, then he cannot do anything to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

"Actually, it's no wonder that Yunhuan scolded me. The things I did were indeed very problematic," said Zhu Yuanzhang.

"It's over, it's over. Something is really wrong with your majesty."

Tang He's eyelids twitched and he felt frightened.

He took the initiative to admit his mistakes. This was not the Zhu Yuanzhang he knew at all!
In an instant, his whole body tensed up and even his breathing became weak.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what Tang He was thinking, and continued to talk to himself: "I have never recognized my position. I have never really considered myself an emperor."

"Yun Hun told me that only when you stand high enough can you see far enough, but I have never considered myself an emperor. Therefore, the things I have done are not what an emperor should do."

His tone was very calm, and there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

The mystery of the authorities is only clear to bystanders.

Before, he couldn't see many things clearly, but after Zhu Yunhuan's wake-up call, and because he was no longer the emperor, he could see many things clearly.

His overall view is really too poor.

Without a sufficient overall perspective, how can we see the truth of things?

That's why he was fooled by the court officials.

Tang He looked troubled and consoled him, "Your Majesty, you've done very well."

"Not bad?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed a hint of bitterness, and he shook his head. "Tang He, our starting point may be good, but because we fail to look at the problem comprehensively, the final result is completely different from what we imagined."

"For example, we abolished the prime minister system for the sake of power, but little did we know that this would lead to even more power being lost."

"For example, we issued preferential treatment for the gentry for the sake of Ming Dynasty's stability, but this actually pushed Ming Dynasty step by step into the abyss."

His expression was full of helplessness.

An extremely confident person takes action with full confidence, but the result is contrary to what he wants. Who wouldn't feel lonely?
Zhu Yuanzhang's willpower was strong enough that he did not collapse immediately.

Tang He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, hesitant to speak, not quite sure what to say.

He wanted to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was afraid that what he said would be inappropriate and would irritate Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a long breath and waved his hands, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Although Yun Hun was scolding me the whole time, I'm in a really good mood right now."

"God has been kind to me, Zhu Yuanzhang, and has given me a grandson like Yunhu. He has made up for all the mistakes I made."

After saying this, the bitterness on his face disappeared and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Hmm..." Tang He was stunned. He stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, then heaved a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "So, Your Majesty has developed some special fetish!"

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that if he had a grandson like Zhu Yunhuan, he would definitely be very happy.

Although Zhu Yunhuan scolded Zhu Yuanzhang angrily, Zhu Yuanzhang must have been very pleased to see that his eldest grandson was so outstanding, right?

Tang Hexin completely relaxed.

"This kid Yunhu is better than us. We are now looking forward to seeing how high he will reach in the future." Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of smiles, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

Tang He nodded and agreed, "Grandson Yunxun is indeed very outstanding."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Tang He with a serious expression and said, "Tang He, let me ask you a question. You must answer truthfully."

Tang He was startled, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and nodded. "Do you think I look like an emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"what?"

Tang He was stunned, his heart full of confusion. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? I don't quite understand. Of course you are the emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "What I'm asking about is my usual behavior. Yun Hun told me that I never considered myself an emperor, and that's why I made many wrong judgments."

"This..." Tang He frowned and lowered his head, lost in thought.

He carefully recalled some of Zhu Yuanzhang's styles of doing things.

Then, the expression on his face became more and more shocked: "It seems that Your Majesty really doesn't look like an emperor!"

"Your Majesty." Tang He raised his head with a complicated expression.

Zhu Yunhuan's vision is really too sharp.

He stared at Zhu Yuanzhang at first sight.

Zhu Yuanzhang got the answer from Tang He's expression and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, you don't need to say anything. I already know the answer from your current appearance."

Tang He was silent and depressed.

"Oh, Yunhu is such an outstanding kid. What were we thinking at the beginning?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

Tang He nodded, thinking to himself, "Yes, Your Majesty, what were you thinking at the beginning?"

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study!

Zhu Gaoxu sat for a while, then stood up and walked back and forth, his heart full of doubts: "Where on earth did Hun go?"

He has already asked.

No one knows Zhu Yunhuan's whereabouts.

This made him feel extremely strange.

There are only two possible outcomes in the current situation.

1: No one really knows where Zhu Yunhuan went.

2: I know but I dare not say it out loud.

In comparison, the second possibility is more likely.

Given Zhu Yunhuan's identity, it is impossible for him to leave quietly and secretly. Does he really think that the Jinyiwei are just there to do nothing?
In history, when the emperor went on incognito visits, it wasn’t true that everyone knew his whereabouts; he just kept it a secret from most of the people.

This way.

The problem arises.

Given the relationship between him and Zhu Yunhuan, normally this should not be kept secret, but now it is being kept secret.

This means that Zhu Yunhuan did something very private, so private that even he could not know about it.

"His Majesty!"

Just as Zhu Gaoxu was wondering what Zhu Yunhuan was doing, a sound came from outside the room.

After a while.

Zhu Yunhuan pushed open the door and walked into the imperial study.

"Brother Hu!" Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

Zhu Yunhuan saw Zhu Gaoxu's appearance and showed a hint of surprise on his face: "Wow, you really got beaten? Who would have the guts to hit you like that?"

"Cough cough." Zhu Gaoxu coughed twice, looking embarrassed.

Zhu Yunhuan was moved when he saw this, and thought to himself: "There must be something hidden!"

Immediately, he waved to Ma Sanbao beside him and said, "Sanbao, you go down first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Sanbao nodded, turned and walked away, closing the door of the imperial study again.

Only Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Gaoxu were left in the imperial study.

Zhu Yunhuan found a seat and sat down. He waved his hand at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Alright, sit down and tell me what happened. Who gave you this injury?"

Zhu Gaoxu walked over to Zhu Yunhuan and sat down, saying with a bitter face: "Brother Yunhuan, this injury of mine was caused by my grandfather."

"Fourth Uncle?" Zhu Yunhuan was startled when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "It's difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs. I'm afraid I can't help you get back your justice."

"Brother Hun, I didn't come to you to ask you to help me get justice." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, realizing that Zhu Yunhu had misunderstood.

"Didn't you ask me to help you get justice? Then what do you want from me?" There was a hint of doubt in Zhu Yunhuan's eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu showed a look of confusion on his face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Zhu Yunhuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Second brother, when did you and I become embarrassed? Tell me, if the matter is really difficult, I will directly refuse."

Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Hu, it's like this. I came to you this time to ask for my old man. He also wants to follow you!"

"what?"

Zhu Yunhuan was stunned and a little surprised when he heard this.

Zhu Di wants to join him? Is this true?
Funny, right?

The famous Emperor Yongle in history came running over and wanted to follow him?

Zhu Gaoxu looked embarrassed and said, "Brother Hu, I know this matter is a bit difficult for you, but I really have no choice but to accept my father's order. If it really doesn't work, then forget it. Just pretend I never came. I will go back and tell my father to go out and get a piece of land and become a vassal king!"

After saying that, he stood up and left.

"Wait!" Zhu Yunhuan called out to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu stopped, turned to look at Zhu Yunhuan, and asked, "Brother Yunhuan, is there anything else?"

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand and said, "Second brother, don't be so anxious. Come and tell me why Fourth Uncle suddenly wants to follow me."

He never expected that Zhu Di would actually plan to join forces with him.

Now, he needs to know what is going on with Zhu Di, whether he is just pretending to be submissive or is sincere.

If he really surrendered, wouldn't he have the title of General of the Northern Expedition?

By then, Zhu Di, together with Zhu Gaoxu, could also take over Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui. He would make a fortune from this deal.

"This..." Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a moment, came to Zhu Yunhuan, and said hesitantly: "Brother Yunhuan, you don't have to force my father to accept you just for my face."

Zhu Yunhuan was stunned when he heard this, then a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Second Brother, if Fourth Uncle knew you said that, he would probably attack you again."

Zhu Gaoxu said, "If my father knew, he would definitely beat me up. But, he can't possibly know. Brother Hu, you can't trick me, can you?"

After saying this, he looked at Zhu Yunhuan weakly.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Fourth Uncle."

"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't do that, Hun'er." Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what's going on with Fourth Uncle? Why did he suddenly want to follow me? This is not his character."

Although the princes were not as powerful as the emperor, they enjoyed their freedom.

In addition, Zhu Di was not the type of person who was willing to be inferior to others.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Zhu Di took the initiative to ask to follow him was somewhat unbelievable.

What's even more outrageous is that he took action and asked Zhu Gaoxu to come and test his attitude.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment and said, "I'm not very clear about the specific situation. I was just about to go and settle accounts with that guy Li Jinglong when I happened to run into my father coming back. Then he called me to the study."

He told Zhu Yunhuan everything that had happened.

After Zhu Yunhuan finished listening to Zhu Gaoxu's story, his eyes looked extremely strange, and a thought popped up in his mind: "Could it be that Fourth Uncle was convinced by my long speech?"

According to Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di returned to the palace almost exactly after he left.

Combined with what he had said to Zhu Di before, he felt more and more that Zhu Di might really be impressed by him. After all, for capable people, a sense of the overall situation is a very important thing.

What he said to Zhu Di was all based on his God's perspective. He had a full understanding of the overall situation of what had happened in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"Huang Ge'er"

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand and said, "Second brother, go back to the palace and bring Fourth Uncle here."
