Although it is already March, it is still cold outside, but the earth dragon has already burned in the main hall, the house is as warm as spring, and the high candles lit in all corners of the main hall are so bright and warm, but it is a pity that the atmosphere in the air is too tense and too depressing.

The kings knelt on the ground and listened to Zhu Zhen recite his "confession". I have to say that what Zhu Zhen said still resonated with the kings to a certain extent, and some things seemed to be heard by the kings for the first time, so the kings couldn't help whispering, but when Zhu Zhen finished reading, the kings immediately closed their mouths, and in an instant, the main hall was silent, and Zhu Zhen also knelt on the ground, waiting for the ruling of Emperor Zhu Yunwen.

When Zhu Zhen was reciting, Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes and leaned his back on the back of the chair, as if he was listening with relish. When Zhu Zhen finished reading, Zhu Yunwen woke up like a dream, picked his eyelids, and suddenly said, "King Chu, have you finished reading?" Is there anything else you would like to add? Listen! ”

Zhu Yunwen's voice was frivolous, and his words were full of a kind of cat-and-mouse banter, and when the kings heard this, their heads fell lower, and Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, trembled slightly, and the fingers of both hands clasped the floor tightly, and finally they were like deflated balls: "Your Majesty, the minister is done!" ”

......

For a long time, Zhu Yunwen didn't speak, and everyone naturally didn't dare to speak, the atmosphere in the air became more and more depressing, everyone shrunk their necks, even Liu Zhen, Liu Tie and others slowed down their breathing, lest the emperor notice him.

"Hahahahaha......"

Zhu Yunwen suddenly laughed wildly, he raised his right hand, pointed at Zhu Zhen and said, "Zhu Zhen, you really disappointed me, what a hero the first emperor was, why did he come to you so obscenely?" Big husband dare to be bold, what the fuck are you writing about bullshit? Are you still a descendant of the first emperor? Bastard thing! ”

While speaking, Zhu Yunwen grabbed the pen holder on the table casually and smashed it at the King of Chu, just heard the sound of "pop", the pen holder smashed on the ground and bounced, and the brush in the pen holder bounced in all directions, and some of the pen barrels bounced to the King of Chu, the King of Shu and others in the front row, but they not only did not dare to shout, but said to the ground: "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

"Anger?" Zhu Yunwen became more and more angry in his heart, he stood up, pointed at Zhu Zhen and said: "Zhu Zhen, this kind of trick on the side of the Qing Jun started from Liu Bi in the former Han Dynasty, and Zhu Di, a member of this dynasty, also used it, can't you come here with some new tricks?" ”

"Zhu Di rebelled, I am not surprised at all, I know that he will definitely rebel, but I did not deal with him first, do you know why?"

"Did you know? You, and you, don't you all know? ”

Zhu Yunwen paused, then turned his head and hugged his fists in the direction of Taimiao: "Back then, I once talked to the emperor's grandfather about your illegal or even rebellious things, how should I deal with it, I said at the time: 'With virtue and etiquette, you can't cut down the land, and you can't change the people, and even raise troops to attack it."

"That's what I did to Zhu Di, a servant, sending someone to collect his military power, and then planning to seal him, but I didn't expect him to rebel first, and I could only order a rebellion. Hehe, however, he is also a man, he has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and even colluded with Mongolia, but in the end, he was still unable to return to the sky, and he committed suicide in Qingshiling, hehe, it is okay to commit suicide," While speaking, Zhu Yunwen clenched his hands into fists, pressed each other, and the joints made a "rattle" sound, and then sneered twice: "Don't let me do it myself!" Haha, haha! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen suddenly turned around, stretched out his hand to hold the table, and stared down at Zhu Zhen: "Zhu Zhen, at this step in the field, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?" ”

Everyone's eyes froze, and they turned their eyes to Zhu Zhen.

In an instant, Zhu Zhen felt the cold gaze of the emperor shooting from the top of his head, and also felt the gaze of the brothers around him, his face was pale, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, his shoulders trembled even more, and his lips trembled, but finally his voice trembled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has no objection, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!" ”

"Hehe," Zhu Yunwen shook his head with a smile: "Zhu Zhen, do you think you still have a way to live?" Do you think that when you come to such a field, I will let you go? Don't you even have the courage to admit your rebellion before you die? Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen, you coward! When death is dying, I don't dare to say what is in my heart! ”

Listening to the emperor's gloomy voice, Zhu Zhen's head "buzzed", he felt the stern murder in the emperor's words, he closed his eyes gently, knowing that he had no way to live, so do you want to admit it? If you admit it, you will surely die; If you don't admit it, I'm afraid you won't be able to live. Up to now, Zhu Zhen once again feels the horror of imperial power, just like facing his father back then. When he was in Wuchang, he felt that the emperor was young and ignorant, and acted recklessly, which made his subordinates scattered, like Li Jinglong, Feng Xingjian, Luo Haichao, and even Xia Yuanji, who were dissatisfied with the emperor, and he felt that he had a great opportunity. But now, he found himself like an ant on a chopping block, unable to survive, unable to die, life and death are in the other party's thoughts, and even if the other party does not have enough evidence, it can be completely created. Just like the first emperor, he killed so many people back then, and I don't know how many of them died in an unknown way, but what about today? How many people mention those hundred battle generals and heroes? In the eyes of future generations, they are all sinners suspected of rebellion! And now this emperor's nephew, in essence, is the same kind of person as the previous emperor, they are all people who are determined and will not give up until they reach their goal, and if someone stands in their way, there is only one way to die.

Zhu Zhen regretted it a lot, how he wished that time could be turned back, if the Mongolian envoy came to the door, he would take him down and hand him over to the imperial court; Even when Li Jinglong came to the door to conspire with himself, it was not without room for redemption. It's just that when the king of Taiwan was bewitched by Li Jinglong's ambitions, Feng Xingjian, the director of the investigation department, and the commander of the Yangtze River Naval Division made Luo Haichao throw himself into himself, he felt that it was foolproof, and the emperor would definitely die, so he came to Jingshi, in fact, he was waiting for the news of the emperor's death, but unfortunately, what he did was like a bubble, which burst with a light poke, and he was easily placed under house arrest in the mansion, and then transferred to the Zongren Mansion.

In the past two months, Zhu Zhen thought about it, looking for a chance to live, today the emperor summoned all the princes to the main hall to discuss matters, Zhu Zhen's heart burned a trace of hope, he hoped that this was a meeting within the imperial family, as long as he admitted his mistake, maybe he didn't have to die, as long as the princes were excited, the emperor was afraid that he could not be arbitrary, so Zhu Zhen took out the carefully written "confession", hoping to resonate with the kings, hoping to get a glimmer of life.

By now, Zhu Zhen has understood that the emperor is killing chickens to show monkeys, and he is the "chicken"; And the resonance of the kings he is counting on is simply wishful thinking, the outside of the main hall is densely covered with armor, and the bow is wound out of the sheath, who dares to make a mistake? Everyone could only say in unison, "Your Majesty Shengming!" And the shameless King Ning, the domineering in his early years was gone, and he completely became a reluctant villain. Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly, when it came to Gou, why shouldn't he be?

After a long time, Zhu Zhen sighed and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, Minister Zhu Zhen...... Guilty! ”
