Xu Chengzong's body was suddenly shocked, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his composure: "It seems that you already know it, big brother." ”

Looking at his brother's expression, the sadness in Xu Xianzong's eyes was even worse: "In fact, I was suspicious when I first got sick three years ago, and I carefully checked the people around me at that time, but I never thought that all this was due to my most trusted and beloved brother. I didn't expect that I, Xu Xianzong, had been cautious all my life, but in the end, I was calculated by the people around me. ”

When he said this, he still looked directly at Xu Chengzong, although there was pain in his eyes, his tone seemed quite calm, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of blaming the other party. And when he looked at the truth like this, Xu Chengzong obviously showed a trace of guilt and panic, but soon, he suppressed this guilt again, but he couldn't say anything for the time being.

When Xu Xianzong saw it, he continued: "It's just that I haven't been able to understand all along, why are you doing this? You and my brother have always been close, and if there is anything that cannot be discussed, why would you do such a thing? At the end of the question, his body jerked forward, as if he wanted to lean towards the other party, but unfortunately he was so weak that he couldn't control his body at all, so he only moved slightly, and fell back again.

At this time, if there was a third person who was familiar with the two brothers, he would be extremely surprised. Because these brothers of the Xu family are examples of brothers, friends and brothers in the eyes of outsiders, and there has almost never been a contradiction, Xu Xianzong, who is the Duke of Wei today, is also very protective and respectful of his brothers, how could such a disaster of brothers have a wall?

Obviously, Xu Xianzong also had such a question in his heart, and finally couldn't help but ask at this time. In the face of his brother's questioning, Xu Chengzong obviously hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a somewhat cold voice: "Big brother, do you really want to know the reason?" ”

After seeing that the other party nodded a little weakly, he said softly: "Because I want to change the situation of the Xu family in the past hundred years!" ”

"You...... Want to rebel? Xu Xianzong's face suddenly showed surprise, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "Why? ”

"It seems that you are really as I know, you have already accepted it, or you are used to everything at the moment. In your eyes, his Zhu family is naturally the material to be the emperor, and our Xu family can only prostrate at their feet forever and be an obedient courtier. Xu Chengzong's eyes flashed with a strange light: "A few years ago, I had people test you, but every time, you refuted those who advised you to do something in Nanjing, and even had the intention of arresting people and handing them over to the imperial court for disposal. This made it clear to me that if you want to make a difference, you must get rid of this stumbling block! ”

The cold words were said in a calm tone, which made Xu Xianzong's heart chill: "It turns out that you had such a plan many years ago. It seems that I am really unqualified to be a brother, and I don't know anything about you......"

"yes. In your eyes, big brother, I've always been just a gentleman who likes to swagger outside, and what ambition can I have, let alone ambition. But what you don't know is what kind of thoughts and aspirations are hidden behind these actions.

"However, you are my eldest brother after all, and you have always treated me well. Even if I, Xu Chengzong, have no heart and liver, I won't really harm your life. So I can only use medicine to make you sick, so as to take away the power that belongs to you little by little, and realize my ambition step by step. Xu Chengzong quickly revealed his mental journey.

And Xu Xianzong smiled bitterly at first, compared to his own understanding of his brother, the other party's understanding of himself is much deeper. So from this point of view, it is reasonable that he was recruited. But it was impossible for him to approve of Xu Chengzong doing such a lawless thing, so he said: "You are ambitious, and it is not bad to dare to do things." However, you have clearly misjudged the situation. If it were six years ago, you might still have half a chance to fight this one. But now that the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, do you think you can really succeed? Not to mention other places, even in this Nanjing city, I'm afraid that not many people are willing to follow you to risk killing the head and exterminating the clan! ”

"Yes, I did miss the great opportunity of the invasion of Warat and the turmoil in the world." Xu Chengzong's tone was full of pity and said: "In fact, it was at that time that I was firm in this idea. Thinking about what kind of goods the descendants of the Zhu family are, that Zhu Qizhen brought hundreds of thousands of elites to the battle, but he was defeated so badly in front of the army of less than 100,000 Warat, almost the entire army was wiped out, and even he was in the hands of the enemy. Do you say, is such an emperor worthy of our allegiance to him? ”

Xu Xianzong didn't respond, just sighed softly. He remembered some details at that time, Xu Chengzong was very silent at that time, at that time he thought that his younger brother was feeling sad about the defeat of Tumu Fort, but now it seems that he should be planning something at that time.

If he recalled it carefully, he even found that Xu Chengzong had changed his former style of gentleness since then, his actions became stable, and his status in the family continued to improve. At the time, he thought it was a blessing for his family, but now it seems that the situation is completely different.

Xu Chengzong's words were not finished, and seeing that his brother did not speak, he continued: "How much credit has my Xu family made to Daming over the years? The ancestor King Zhongshan fought for Zhu Yuanzhang to establish the country in the south and the north, and made countless meritorious contributions. But the result? Didn't just the name of Wei Guogong send us away? And since then, his old man has become cautious and trembling all his life, how can he still have the style of a general who once commanded thousands of horses? Such a suspicious and murderous king, our Xu family still has to be loyal to him, don't you think it's ridiculous, big brother?

"And our grandfather, because he was loyal to Emperor Jianwen, said some truths after Zhu Di entered Nanjing, what was the result? was directly grounded at home by him, and finally ended up depressed. And in those years, how much pressure did my Xu family suffer, if it weren't for the grandmother who was Zhu Di's queen, I'm afraid we would have been beheaded all over the house, right? You say, why should we be loyal to such an emperor? ”

Listening to his younger brother count the things that the old Zhu family was sorry for his family one by one, Xu Xianzong's face was cloudy again. He really didn't expect that his brother had already thought so much and thought so far. After a while, he said, "So you have a heart of disobedience?" Want to rebel? ”

"Not bad! What kind of prince will Xiangning have? Wasn't he Zhu Yuanzhang a monk-born general before this? What he can do, why can't I, Xu Chengzong, do it? I've been preparing for this for several years, just waiting for an opportunity to get started. And now, the opportunity has appeared! ”

Xu Xianzong's body trembled suddenly: "The opportunity you said is the person from the capital who had a secret meeting with you some time ago?" What kind of road is he? ”

"It seems that the inside information you have is still not accurate enough, big brother. He is a person sent by the palace, or rather, he is a person sent by Zhu Qizhen to contact us! Xu Chengzong no longer concealed it at this time, and directly told the truth.

And after hearing this, Xu Xianzong's face changed again: "You mean ......?"

"Yes, the Emperor Taishang who has been imprisoned for several years is still not dead. Especially this time, after His Majesty the Emperor has already given birth to the intention of changing the crown prince, he can't accept such a result, and has already given birth to the idea of regaining the throne. For this reason, he not only contacted many people in the capital, but also hit the head of my Xu family. ”

"This ...... How is this possible? Xu Xianzong was obviously shocked by this statement, and he couldn't accept such a statement for a long time.

"How could it not be? Haven't the people of his Zhu family always been like this? In their eyes, the throne is the most important, and any other righteousness of kings and ministers, and any brotherhood can be sacrificed at any time. A few decades ago, Zhu Di could raise troops to enter Nanjing City for this reason, and a few years ago, Zhu Qiyu could imprison his brother in Nangong for this reason, so now, he Zhu Qizhen can naturally raise troops again for this. And we're just a weapon he wants to use! As he spoke, Xu Chengzong's face was full of ridicule and sarcasm.

The impact of this incident was too great, which made Xu Xianzong stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. Immediately, he nervously tried to lean up again, and said urgently: "Second brother, you must not do this, this will lead my entire Xu family into the abyss of no return!" ”

"Of course, I can't be stupid enough to help Zhu Qizhen regain the throne. What kind of virtue is his Zhu family, don't I still understand? This is a group of treacherous villains who cross the river and tear down the bridge! Once I really help him sit back on the throne, I'm afraid that after the matter is completed, the first thing he will have to deal with is my Xu family. ”

After saying this, a hint of murder flashed in his eyes: "This time, what I want to do is the yellow finch in the back of the praying mantis catching cicadas." On the bright side, I will help him regain the throne, but at a critical time, I will take action, get rid of him, and Zhu Qiyu, and take the entire capital into my hands. When the time comes, it will be time for the people of my Xu family to sit on that supreme chair! ”

"You...... You are crazy! At this moment, Xu Xianzong looked even more nervous than just now, "Do you think you can do it?" There are more than 100,000 elites in the three major battalions in the capital, and the soldiers led by my Xu family are also loyal to the imperial court after all, will they rebel for you? Listen to my advice, and stop it while it's still too late......"

"Big brother, I've been waiting for this day for so many years, do you think I'll stop when I see that it's about to happen?" Xu Chengzong asked coldly.

Xu Xianzong's expression also cooled down at this moment, and he sighed lightly: "In this way, I don't seem to have a choice......
