In the Jiaotai Palace, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu sat face to face, and a fragrant tea was placed in front of both of them.

And the silk curtain hanging down in the hall, with the cold wind that invaded the temple, gently swayed softly, just like a woman who sang and danced lightly, and the water sleeves that hung down when the dance was over.

The two sat opposite each other, looking at each other, Zhu Qiyu deliberately and diligently straightened his back, making his sitting posture appear more proud and more reserved.

And Zhu Qizhen, who was dressed in heavy armor, had taken off the helmet at this moment, and his head was just tied with a bright yellow ribbon on his head, seemingly sitting casually, but the strong self-confidence that naturally flowed out of his body, as well as his pair of eyes that were clearly not looking at the opponent, but just looking at the eyes of a naughty and sad little guy. made Zhu Qiyu's heart even more uncomfortable, or rather, Zhu Qizhen's gaze stabbed him more than the red-hot needle.

"I don't know, now, should I call you His Majesty the Emperor, or His Majesty the Emperor." Zhu Qiyu's somewhat hoarse and dry voice revealed sharp hatred and resentment.

"Qi Yu, until now, still refuse to call me brother?" Zhu Qizhen looked at the younger brother in front of him who used hatred and pride to hide his cowardice and fear, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, even pitiful, of course, Zhu Qizhen naturally would not say that he would change his original intention because of his pity, let alone change his treatment of him because of this.

"I remember, in the old days, except in front of people, when there were only our brothers, I always asked you to call me brother, right?" Zhu Qizhen stroked his brows, these are all the news he learned from the mouth of Qian Yiniang, and in the past, Zhu Qizhen's brother can almost be described as brotherhood for Zhu Qiyu's younger brother, unlike many families in later generations, the brothers and sisters are not harmonious with each other, and even the relationship between them is like hatred.

Zhu Qizhen In the past, everything in the palace, he Zhu Qiyu will always have a share, every festival, Zhu Qizhen will set up a family banquet to invite Zhu Qiyu to come, or go to the palace to visit his younger brother.

In the Ming Dynasty, once the vassal king reached the age, he had to leave the capital and go to his own fiefdom, and then he had to stay in that territory honestly for a lifetime, and he couldn't even get out of the city.

But Zhu Qiyu is an exception, when he became an adult, many ministers also proposed early that Zhu Qiyu should be allowed to go to the fief and stay honestly, but Zhu Qizhen always felt that his younger brother still needed his own protection, in short, in the end, it was not allowed, and let his brother Zhu Qiyu stay in the Beijing Division, living in the palace of the king of Nayu, until he left Beijing, led the army to fight with the tile thorns, and even left the burden of the prison country to his younger brother.

-------------------- all this, Zhu Qizhen, who has traveled to this historical time and space, has to sigh how heavy the ex's feelings for his brother and the trust in his body are.

However, Zhu Qiyu, the younger brother who was taken care of by Zhu Qizhen's brother, completely forgot the past, forgot the brotherhood, and forgot Zhu Qizhen's trust in him from the moment he became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

With such a method, I am afraid that Zhu Qizhen, who was in that historical time and space, may also be staring wide-eyed in Nangong, wanting to ask in person, why did his good brother treat himself like this?

And now, Zhu Qizhen in the past is no longer here, or his soul continues to shuttle on another historical branch, repeating the sorrows and sufferings of the past. But here, in front of Zhu Qizhen, everything has changed.

It can be said that Zhu Qizhen completely used himself to know the direction of history and everything that was going to happen, and first made preparations and arrangements, and it was precisely because of this that Zhu Qiyu could be said to have done what he had done in history from the very beginning.

And this happened to fall into Zhu Qizhen's trap, Zhu Qizhen was like a chess player who already knew the opponent's chess move, step by step, brought that Zhu Qiyu into a dead end step by step, making him a complete loser.

However, things can be said the other way around, if he Zhu Qiyu did not forget his brotherhood, and did not forget Zhu Qizhen, the brother who really loved him, then he would not have done those things at all, and he would not have been able to do them, which is really like a saying: Heaven is evil, but you can live; and thou shalt not live.

"Brother......" Zhu Qiyu gently chewed on this name that seemed so familiar in the past, but now it is extremely unfamiliar, and the bitterness in his mouth is incomparable, even if he sipped the tea that can make his tongue fragrant, he can't understand it.

Zhu Qiyu raised his head, stared at Zhu Qizhen deadly, gritted his teeth word by word and said: "Brother, why are you coming back, why are you back, why don't you stay in the border town of Xuanfu, why do you want to return to Jingshi, why do you still sit in front of me?!" ”

Seeing Zhu Qiyu's venting low roar, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth: "Hehehe...... Qi Yu, Qi Yu, you should ask yourself these questions, not me. ”

"Brother has never been sorry for you, but what about you, once, I can still forgive you, but you have been making mistakes, you are no longer the Zhu Qiyu of the past, you have changed, from the moment you stepped on the throne, you have forgotten my brother, the queen mother, and the teachings of your father...... You have forgotten your true heart. ”

Zhu Qiyu heard Zhu Qizhen's laughter, and became more and more angry: "Do you think I can't be the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty?" If it weren't for you, how could I be like this? ”

And after Zhu Qiyu roared, he panted and looked at Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting peacefully, without saying a word, but with a smile, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while, and sat down with a wry smile. "yes, what's the use of talking too much now?"

Outside the Jiaotai Palace, the haggard Hang Guifei hugged Zhu Jianji tightly, and looked at Zhu Qiyu who stood up and danced with his hands in the hall with worry, looking extremely excited. I wanted to walk towards the Jiaotai Palace, but was stopped in front of a eunuch, Hang Guifei raised her eyebrows, but saw the eunuch's face, and almost blurted out the rebuke and swallowed it back into her throat.

Because standing in front of him was no one else, it was actually Li Fuzhong, the confidant eunuch beside the Empress Dowager, who said faintly in his sharp voice: "Your Majesty has an order, everyone is not allowed to approach this Jiaotai Palace for fifty steps, so please forgive the old slave for being rude." ”

Hearing this, and seeing the gloomy eyes on his humblely smiling face, Concubine Hang couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, hugged her son tightly and carefully took a few steps back.

Li Fuzhong didn't pay attention to Hang Guifei anymore, and continued to look around the Jiaotai Palace, he was at the behest of the Empress Dowager Sun, and took over Zhu Qizhen's royal drive with Sun Jizong, and he was able to see Zhu Qizhen regain control of the Ming Dynasty, and for them, the old people who had been with the Empress Dowager Sun for a long time, they were naturally very excited and happy.

And what Zhu Qizhen has done in the past two years has made these eunuchs very clear that the current Emperor Taishang has indeed grown up and become mature, and he is no longer like the little emperor who would obey eunuchs like Wang Zhen in the past.

-------------------- Zhu Qizhen looked at Zhu Qiyu, took a deep breath, and gently tapped his hand on the table, his voice was still so smooth and powerful: "Brother Wei's thoughts in the past may be the same as you, whether it is you, or me, whoever is the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the same, because, at that time, history will not change, and it will follow an old road, slowly going on, until the day of collapse, or the future of the Ming Dynasty." In fact, it has long been doomed, and it is not something that you, or the past me, can understand and change. ”

"What do you mean? Could it be that brother, you now understand and know that you have become a generation of Ming monarchs, or that your great achievements will be far ahead of the Han and Tang Dynasties, surpassing Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong? ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard his words, he couldn't help but sneer and asked: "Joke, brother, I am a failure, I am defeated in your hands, as the so-called winner is king, and the loser is a peep." I have nothing to say if you are defeated in your hands, but why do you thou tease me with such words? ”

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing when he saw the sneering look on Zhu Qiyu's face, and Zhu Qizhen replied directly to Zhu Qiyu's accusations and cross-examinations: "Yes, I understand, because I have figured it out and figured it out." ”

"You know what? This is already the last dynasty and empire established by the Chinese nation, and it is also the last glory of the Chinese nation standing on the top of the world. This is the last chance for the Chinese nation......"

"Why didn't I understand a word of what you said?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't help frowning, looking at this brother who was full of nonsense, what world, what the last glory of the Chinese nation. What is this?

"You don't understand because you haven't experienced it, or rather, you haven't seen those sufferings." Zhu Qizhen raised his head, looked at Zhu Qiyu and smiled, and moved his gaze to the outside of the Jiaotai Palace. "If you've ever had that experience, or seen those hellish reincarnations, you'll probably understand why I did all this in just two moments and stood in front of you."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the seriousness in his brother's eyes that he had never seen in the past, as well as the seriousness and sincerity that he had never had, so that Zhu Qiyu didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and after a while, Zhu Qiyu said unwillingly: "Everyone will say it, who knows what you will do in the future." Little brother, I have also read history, which dynasty can escape such a cycle? I don't believe you can conjure up any tricks. ”

Zhu Qizhen raised his eyes and looked at the sunlight shining at the entrance of the hall, the time was close to dusk, and Zhu Qizhen stood up. "You will see, I will not kill you, nor will I hurt my nephew, I will continue to let you stay in your palace of the king of Yu. Let you watch, one day you will understand that I am more qualified than you, sitting in this position, being the emperor of the Ming Empire......"
