Chapter 1122: Gone with the Wind
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said, "This king doesn't know? β
Wang Zhen said: "No, the prince knows, this Li Yu sent out his nostalgia for his homeland, although he didn't have the king's thoughts, but what about those ministers who died in the country, who guarantees that they don't have ideas?" The so-called side of the couch does not allow others to snore, the prince is good, but the prince has many heirs, and the prince has many subordinates, no one dares to guarantee that they will not be the next Yan King? As an emperor, who doesn't want the side of the couch to be too peaceful? β
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Zhen with some surprise, and suddenly burst out laughing: "The dog emperor obviously wants the life of this king, but he deceived this king by making some ancestral rules with false feelings, how false the emperor of the world is, this king does not blame him, but this king cut off his children and grandchildren, how will he face my father in the future?" β
Wang Zhendao: "What the emperor wants is to stabilize the country, as long as the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, Your Majesty is not afraid of not having the face to see the Yongle Emperor, but the prince, the descendants of the Zhu family, but regardless of the safety of the country, what face does the driver have to see the Yongle Emperor if he rebels?" β
Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak, but no one knew what he wanted to say.
After a long time, I heard him sigh and say: "The prince asks you to help this king bring a message, just say that this king begs the emperor for the sake of the descendants of the Zhu family, is it okay to let go of the king's heirs?" β
Wang Zhen said: "I'm afraid that our family won't be able to help the prince, Your Majesty is arbitrary, how dare I, a eunuch, speak nonsense?" β
Zhu Gaoxu wanted to say something, but he heard Wang Zhen say: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, the emperor has already said that the prince is the emperor's uncle, and His Majesty will never kill the emperor's uncle?" β
Zhu Gaoxu was slightly stunned, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "In the name of killing uncle, the dog emperor let this king live, but he just wants the world to show his benevolence to the good emperor, why don't you like to kill this king in your heart?" β
Wang Zhen didn't speak again this time, because Zhu Gaoxu really said what the emperor was thinking, and sighed lightly: "It's best if the prince can understand that!" After speaking, he shouted to the guards: "King Han is the emperor's uncle today, although he is imprisoned here, but His Majesty is merciful, and still respects him with the courtesy of the emperor's uncle, if you dare to slack off, be careful of your head!" β
Ma Shun immediately said: "Prince, please rest assured, we will understand!" β
Wang Zhen said: "It's best to understand!" As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Zhu Gaoxu say: "You go back and sue Emperor SΓΉdog, don't force people too much?" Be forgiving and forgiving, otherwise ......? β
Wang Zhen glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, who was full of hatred, and Wang Zhen said, "What will our family bring to the prince?" β
Wang Zhen was speechless, and after returning to the palace, he said every move he saw Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanji was very angry at Zhu Gaoxu's threatening words at the end, but he didn't dare to do anything to him for a while, the emperor's throne is a double-edged sword, he has supreme power, but there are still many things he still can't let go of, such as punishing his imperial uncle, as long as he still wants to be a Ming Jun, he can't bear the charge of killing his uncle, no, these two days, One day after he received the intercession of his uncle and grandfather Ning Wang Zhu Quan for Zhu Gaoxu, he was a little depressed in his heart.
Because his uncle and grandfather also relied on the old and betrayed the old in this recital, and openly and directly used the incident in August of the first year of Xuande as an excuse to accuse himself of violating the ancestral system in some things, but he couldn't do it one after another, and then he was charged with rebellion like he did with his uncle back then, and the meritorious prince of his grandfather's generation was also "Wuding". As the king of a country, there is nowhere to spread the fire in his heart, and now listening to the words of King Han, the anger in his heart can be small, but he is only angry, and he really can't do anything to King Han? β
In the past few days, after dealing with government affairs, I don't know why I was on a whim, and suddenly remembered the imperial uncle who was imprisoned by myself, and now I am in the free city.
When he appeared in front of Zhu Gaoxu, who was bound by chains, it could be said that "when the enemies see each other, they are very red-eyed". The words "familiar with each other for a long time" show that they have been looking at each other for a long time. One said: "You cheating boy is so shady and said that I should explain, but you directly deceived me and tied me up here, and I was charged with rebellion, and I unjustly killed so many people." Look at you wearing the emperor's dragon robe, but you are a well-dressed beast! β
One said: "Weren't you quite capable back then, and you dared to compete with me for the crown prince." Now that I am the emperor, no matter how capable you are, you have become my prisoner. β
One said: "You unkind thing, if I hadn't charged on the battlefield and helped your imperial grandfather conquer the country, the current emperor still doesn't know who it is!" Which is your turn, brute! β
One said, "Don't be hard-mouthed. Now that I am the emperor, I can not only tie you up here, but also kill you whenever I want, as well as your wife and children! β
Having said this, Zhu Gaoxu was furious, and stretched out his leg coldly and swept away - although he was wearing leg shackles, because he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and because he had condensed many years of grudges and anger on this leg action, he threw the invincible emperor Zhu Zhanji out of the way and fell into the mud.
A group of entourages hurriedly held down Zhu Gaoxu while helping Zhu Zhanji, who was unbearable and extremely embarrassed. But Zhu Gaoxu was extremely powerful, and several attendants couldn't hold him down with all their might. While dodging, Zhu Zhanji, who was angry, remembered that there was a large copper cylinder for firefighting weighing hundreds of catties outside the palace gate, and immediately ordered several strong men to carry it, and everyone buckled Zhu Gaoxu under the big copper cylinder.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu, who was extraordinarily strong, could still hold up the copper cylinder and rampage against the people around him, Zhu Zhanji was in a hurry, and he couldn't care about killing his uncle, so he immediately ordered the guards outside the door to move the charcoal hoarded in the palace, bury Zhu Gaochu who was detained in the copper cylinder, and then set the charcoal piled up like a hill on fire. Seeing the charcoal fire raging, burning more and more, in the green smoke, the large copper cylinder from the initial violent shaking to slowly red, translucent, collapsed, melted......
The invincible King of Han turned into a wisp of green smoke and passed away with the wind.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
I took a look at it today, and unconsciously the seventh volume of "Jinghua Smoke and Snow Full of Snow" has been written nearly two hundred, seven or eight hundred thousand words, which lasted three months, and tonight is the end of the story, I dare not say that it is well written, do my best, the eighth volume of "Drunk and Lying on the Battlefield Jun Mo Xiao" will open from tomorrow, I hope you like it, and explain that about Zhu Gaoxu's death, this incident was originally Xuande four years before it happened, for the coherence of the story, I am in advance, please forgive me, In addition, a book friend gave me a little opinion on this sad prince, and I also attach it here, not to make up the number of words, because the number of words is enough.
"History of the Ming Dynasty" has no record of how Zhu Gaoxu died, but it is found in "Chronicle" and "Historical Plagiarism".
It is said that one day, Emperor Xuanzong was bored, so he remembered Zhu Gaochu who was arrested after the defeat of the rebellion, Zhu Gaoxu's classmates were not well-behaved at all, such an adult also played children's games, and when the emperor was not paying attention, he hooked Xuanzong's leg, which made Xuanzong fall a big heel, and it is estimated that Zhu Gaochu smiled very proudly at that time. This is a naughty thing that no one has ever done and no one dares to do, as a defeated general, Zhu Gaoxu finally won once, tripped his nephew Emperor Xuanzong, and finally took a bad breath, but as a prisoner, he is not honest, and he has to do bad things, so he naturally has to pay the price and be punished.
Emperor Xuanzong fell and lost face, and in addition to being angry, he naturally had to teach this uncle a big lesson. So, he called a strong man to lift a 300-pound copper cylinder and pressed it on Zhu Gaoxu's head, but Zhu Gaochu was very strong and was not flattened, overwhelmed, or crushed by this copper cylinder. Zhu Gaoxu is a real soldier, born in the army, followed him to become the ancestor of the emperor Rongma battlefield, how can a small 300-pound copper cylinder crush this once invincible Zhu Gaoxu? Zhu Gaochu held his head high and stubbornly pushed up the 300-pound copper cylinder, this is not a refutation of Xuanzong's face, but Zhu Gaochu obviously sees death as home, and if he can't live a wonderful life, he will die a vigorous death. Zhu Gaochu is also a king, he has his dignity, he can't live like this in humiliation, so Zhu Gaochu did not beg for mercy, Emperor Xuanzong ordered someone to add a large amount of charcoal to the copper cylinder, and then ignited the charcoal, the charcoal burned very badly, and the copper cylinder was melted in an hour, and Zhu Gaochu lost his life in this way.
Of course, that's just how he died. The cause of his death was naturally a rebellion. Those who chase the world, fate is always like this, if you don't become a king, you will succeed or lose, and the ending of defeat is often one word - death! Why rebel, the reason is also very simple, only the emperor has supreme power. Power not only corrupts but also causes rebellion. But to arouse the yearning for power, it is still a sentence of Ming Chengzu. Chengzu has already set up Zhu Gaochi as the son, that is to say, Zhu Gaochi is the rightful successor, it stands to reason that Zhu Gaochu should no longer be ambitious, but Zhu Gaochu has always rebelled with Chengzu, brave and good at fighting, quite important to Chengzu, Zhu Gaochu himself is also smart, scheming, and naturally coveted the highest peak of power for a long time.
Chengzu himself apparently also considered whether to be easy to store, and had privately consulted Xie Jin about easy storage, Xie Jin put forward a reason why it was not easy to store from the perspective of sustainable development, and Chengzu took into account Xuanzong's wisdom and filial piety, and finally dispelled the idea of easy storage.
In the fourth year of Jianwen, Chengzu was defeated and wanted to negotiate peace with Jianwen, but it happened that Zhu Gaochu led the north to ride, Chengzu stroked Gaoxu's back with his hand, and said, "Keep working hard, you have hope, and the son of the world has a lot of diseases." From such a simple sentence, many meanings can be deduced.
With such an empty promise, which was not a promise, Gao Xu fought to the death with the government army, and finally repelled the government army. At this time, Chen Xuan came to surrender on the government side, and the Yan army turned passive into active for a while, crossed the river to pursue the government army, and finally conquered the capital.
A group of generals who followed Zhu Gaoxu, for their own interests, naturally also set up Gaoxu to Chengzu Jianyichu. When Gao Xu rebelled, he said, "The battle of Jingyan is not my death, and Yan Zhi is Yan I don't know." This is true. It's a pity that Xuanzong has already sat firmly on the throne, crusaded against the rebellion, justifiably called it, drove the conquest in person, and returned to the heart of the world. Zhu Gaoxu wanted to re-enact the story of Jingjing, but he could no longer get it, and he went against the sky and finally failed. However, I think that although Zhu Gaoxu failed, he can be regarded as a hero.
