Chapter 710: The Feast of the Ryukyu Gate
Pingyang Island is a small island, there are only a few hundred people on the island, and they naturally rejected Zhu Yunwen and Yun Zichen who suddenly appeared, but gradually, they accepted them.
Now that Zhu Yunwen and Yun Zichen are leaving Pingyang, the people here are a little reluctant, and they have rushed to the dock to bid farewell to the two of them.
Looking at this group of reluctant people, Zhu Yunwen was full of emotion.
"I think when I sat in the world, the people of the world were afraid of my rights, so they would love me. Now that he has fallen into a foreign country, he can be treated sincerely by the people of other countries, which is really unpredictable. ”
Zhu Yunwen sighed for a while, and the boat under his feet had already started.
"Young master, this place is just a springboard for us, and we can't stay forever after all."
Yun Zichen has followed Zhu Yunwen for more than ten years, so he naturally knows what Zhu Yunwen is thinking now, but Zhu Yunwen is a person who wants to do great things, and it is impossible to stay on this Pingyang Island forever.
"I know all of this you said, but these people are the most sincere people to me besides you, they are far away from the dispute of power, they are the most simple people, I guess I will never meet such people in the future." Zhu Yunwen shook his head, how could he not know his path, but he couldn't let go of these people, although they had never worshiped him, and they had never said to him, long live, long live, long live.
"Hey, let's go, even if I reign in the world again in the future, presumably they will not be able to accept my alms, they will only know that I am a down-and-out young master."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, then looked at the main island of Ryukyu looming in the east, and let go of the entanglement in his heart, since he chose to start again, he must have a new look, not a down-and-out young master, nor a down-and-out king, but a struggler!
The Ryukyu Kingdom is not large. However, there are many islands, and there is only one main island, but it is not more than the size of Nanjing City.
This is the first time Zhu Yunwen has come to the main island of the Ryukyus, and the last time he followed Hu Ye to the Ryukyu Kingdom, he chose to disembark on Pingyang Island before he arrived on the main island.
"Young Master, are we going directly to the palace or what?"
Yun Zichen leaned into Zhu Yunwen's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Shang Yuan is still the crown prince of the Ryukyus, presumably with his ambitions, he will not only stay in the position of the crown prince, the king of the Ryukyus is his ultimate goal." Zhu Yunwen did not answer Yun Zichen's question. Rather, it was about an unrelated topic.
"But young master, King Shangde of the Ryukyus is already in his sixties, and he has no more years to live, so Shang Yuan has been boiling for so many years, can he not help it?" Yun Zichen asked with some curiosity.
"Hehe, I heard some news on Pingyang Island in the past two years, Shang Yuan has a younger brother named Shang Yun, who has sprung up in the past two years. There is already a threat to his crown princeship, so I dare to conclude that he will make a move in the near future, either to remove Shang Yun as a threat first, and then wait until he inherits the throne. Either that or get the throne first. Then solve the threat of Shangyun. And I had a relationship with Na Shangyuan, and from his eyes, I could see that he was not a conservative person, and he would definitely choose the second path. Zhu Yunwen smiled. These two years of fugitive life have made him grow from a childish king to a thoughtful lurker.
"But what are we supposed to do? Do you want to help him get the throne? Yun Zichen couldn't guess Zhu Yunwen's mind now.
"He's an ambitious man. If we want to return to Nanjing, to return to the Fengtian Temple, he must be the king of the Ryukyus! Zhu Yunwen clenched his fists and said coldly.
"I see." Yun Zichen nodded, as long as Zhu Yunwen spoke, he knew what to do.
The Spring Festival is a festival for all Chinese, whether it is from China or people living outside, every time they reach the thirtieth day of the lunar month, they will involuntarily gather together and start a summary of the year, as well as expectations for the coming year, of course, the most important thing is to have a New Year's dinner.
As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu learned a lot of things from the Ming Dynasty, and naturally learned the customs of the Spring Festival. What's more, there were already a lot of Ming Dynasty people in Ryukyu, which naturally made the Spring Festival more prosperous.
And in order for the people to learn the customs of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family of the Ryukyus naturally had to take the lead in learning them.
Therefore, on the evening of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, all the people of the Ryukyu royal family gathered for a reunion dinner.
As the king of the Ryukyus, Shangde naturally had to sit in the middle, and his two sons, Shangyun and Shangyuan, sat on either side of him, which can be described as his right-hand man.
However, the reunion dinner, which was supposed to be happy, was covered with a layer of coldness, especially the two brothers Shang Yuan and Shang Yun, who were even more cold, because they all knew that if they wanted to ascend the throne, they had to eradicate each other.
And they also know that if they don't do anything, the throne will be further and further away from them.
So before coming to the reunion dinner, they were all prepared.
Looking at the two sons who looked at each other coldly, Shang De sighed, this is the pain of the royal family, he has always heard Zhu Yuanzhang mention it before, but he didn't expect that he would have to experience it now.
Silence always has to be broken, and it is not the crown prince Shang Yuan who breaks the silence, but the second prince Shang Yun, he has been suppressed by his eldest brother for more than ten years, and now his power is rising little by little, as long as he takes a breath, he will clean up his eldest brother, and then force his father to abdicate, isn't it logical to become the king of the Ryukyus?
Although the Ryukyus are not big, the king is also a chicken head, so it is better than the phoenix tail, isn't it?
So with a crumbling of cups, one by one samurai in armor rushed in, surrounding the hall.
The group of royals who thought it was just a New Year's dinner were already panicked, and only Shangde and Shang Yuan were indifferent.
"Big brother, father, I won't say more, I'm going to set this throne, acquaintances, now I will relieve myself of military power, and I will let you live in peace. If you don't know each other, today next year will be your death day! Shang Yun said loudly.
Shangde sighed and didn't speak, he had always been a good gentleman, he had never interfered with the development of his two sons, and he didn't expect it to develop to the point of such a palace coup.
"Second brother, I'm early? Oval promontory promiscuitypromisingdeaf profanitydespised σ reelingstingingstingstingsstingsesss, stingings, stingings, spittings, stingings, stinging
"Big brother, what do you mean by that? Do you think you can escape now? ”
Shang Yun sneered.
"Escape? You're underestimating me. Shang Yuan smiled, and then snapped his fingers, and the group of warriors who rushed in just now suddenly turned more than half of their bodies and slashed towards their companions next to them.
Wobbly!
With a loud noise, nearly half of the soldiers collapsed to the ground.
"What!"
Shang Yun was stunned and looked at everything that was happening in front of him, these warriors were carefully cultivated by him, and without his orders, it was absolutely impossible to act. But the truth is right in front of you, his soldiers killed each other!
"Second brother, you're still a little tender after all." Shang Yuan smiled coldly, so far, it seems that the threat of his second brother is no longer there, and after today, there will be no longer a second prince in the Ryukyu Kingdom.
So Shang Yuan turned around and said to Shang De, "Father, since we have come this far, I will no longer hide it, I have been waiting for decades and do not want to wait any longer." ”
The meaning of this passage was obvious, but Shang De was not surprised when he heard it, but asked lightly, "Aren't you afraid that the world will say that you killed your brother and killed your father?" ”
"Killing my brother and killing my father? Tang Taizong also killed his brother and father, but the world still praised his beautiful talk? I think the Han people have a good saying, history is written by the victors, as long as I become the king, don't I write history? ”
Shang Yuan said with a sneer.
"Hey."
Shang De sighed, then stood up, looking a little old, but there was still some time before the deadline, which is why Shang Yuan and Shang Yun couldn't wait.
"Father, Li Shimin can be the emperor, I think you can follow him." Shang Yuan suggested.
"The Tang Dynasty had the Xuanwumen Change, and it seems that there will be a palace coup in Ryukyu as well." Shande looked at the heavily armed soldiers around him, who had been the second before, but now he had become the boss.
"But Li Shimin is not prepared, do you think I will be unprepared? Do you think that my decades of king have been in vain? There was a strange expression on Shangde's old face, as if he was proud and distressed.
"Father, what do you mean by that?"
Shang Yuan's heart tightened, the reason why he had waited for so many years was that he had some scruples about his father, if it weren't for the fact that Shang De was getting older and older over the years, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.
"What do you mean? You can put your own people in the second team, why can't I put my people in yours? Shande closed his eyes, and now he was no longer proud, because no matter what, he was the one who was hurt.
Wobbly!
There was another noise, and half of the soldiers fell, and the hall, which had been impassable, suddenly brightened up a lot, because the soldiers were almost already lying down.
"What!"
Whether it is Shang Yuan or Shang Yun, they can't believe this fact, the things they have been planning for a long time are all under the control of their father, it turns out that all these years of old age are pretended by their father.
"The past does not forget the teacher of the future, this is what the Han people taught us, you all think you are very powerful, but you don't even understand this truth, how do you say I can rest assured that the country will be handed over to you." Shande sat down slowly, then waved his hand, and the remaining soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, and a palace coup ended here, and it sounded like Shande had no intention of picking up his two sons.
"This ......"
Shang Yuan and Shang Yun were both a little trembling, not knowing what to do now.
"Haha, that's a good point, the past is not forgotten and the future is the teacher, it is indeed what our Han people taught you, but it seems a little impossible for you to be better than the blue."
Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, a loud voice suddenly sounded. (To be continued......)
