Chapter 444 Zhu Yuanzhang's final confession

"Leave the good and bad to posterity." Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, and then opened his eyes, "Okay, who will remember the real us thousands of years later, and we still chase after ...... The pursuit of immortality is really ...... Amusing. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's state is not suitable for a long speech, but Hu Ye is not easy to interrupt Zhu Yuanzhang, this may be the last speech of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is fortunate to be the only listener, I don't know if it is lucky or a disaster.

"The reason why I killed people is because I don't want to leave a legacy for future generations...... Woe to me, the world will bear on my back the sin of murder...... Crimes, let them say it, I don't regret it. I've ...... the most in my life The most regrettable thing is that before he died, he told this big lie, deceived the people of the world, and deceived his son. ”

"I thought that there were people in my son who had a backbone, and they would take the opportunity of the funeral to rebel. Do you know? When I heard that my fourth son was coming with troops, my heart was already half cold, and I was going to drag this pair of skins, put on armor and go into battle, pointing at the unscrupulous son and cursing, and exterminating him on the Yangtze River. ”

But then he left, and I heard that he only brought a hundred people, and he really wanted to come to mourn me, and my heart was relieved. Do you know, it was also my idea to summon all my grandchildren to Nanjing this time, and I want to see how the rest of my sons will react. ”

"God made a joke on me again, the grandchildren are here, and the sons are also keeping to themselves one by one, I thought I could leave with peace of mind, and the grandchildren's world is at ease. But I heard that the fourth son, because Si'er was anxious, couldn't afford to get sick. ”

"Do you know my heartache? This qiē is all caused by me, and I should not impose my suspicion of the minister on my son, who has my blood in them. I heard that the group of grandchildren went back, but my fourth son went crazy because of this. Now the only thing on the lips is the son and the son. When I think of my grandchildren and daughters-in-law, who wash their faces with tears all day long, do you know my distress? ”

"Ahem!"

Maybe it was because he was talking too much, Zhu Yuanzhang began to cough again.

"Your Majesty, you better rest, and I'll talk about it later if you have something to say."

Hu Ye didn't dare to let Zhu Yuanzhang say any more, otherwise this goods might be hung in front of him.

"Let me finish, my days are numbered, and today you will be a listener. It's like flying with me in the first place. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mean to stop at all.

Hu Ye's face changed, because Zhu Yuanzhang has been talking intermittently now, this can't be because Zhu Yuanzhang is getting better, there is only one possibility, that is, to return to the light, this may be the last time he will see this strong old man.

"Okay, Weichen just listen." Hu Ye no longer regards Zhu Yuanzhang as an emperor at the moment, he is just an old man with a big family to consider.

"Self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world, I have done it. It's just that in the end, it makes this family jump. This may be in response to what you said, called the ass decides the head, and I am on the throne. It's not the same when you think about it. Now I'm just a father, just a grandfather, and I find out how ridiculous what I did before, but now it's useless to regret it. My son has gone mad, and I owe him that. ”

"Truth be told, I owe him so much. He fought the enemy in the north for me for decades, but in the end, because of my suspicion, I sent him to the brink of destruction, do you know my heartache? ”

"Do you know the concubines who were martyred? It was I who watched them overflow to death, and I still remember the look in their eyes when they left, it was fear, unwillingness, and pleading. But if they don't die, how can they make people believe that I have died. Do you know that I have lived in the imperial tomb for more than a month, and I have nightmares every night, all of which are those concubines who complain to me in the underworld, saying that they are pitiful and they are helpless, and let me go down to accompany them as soon as possible, do you know my heartache? ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

There was another cough, this time Zhu Yuanzhang directly coughed up a ball of blood, which was no longer blood, but a blood clot, and it seemed that the lungs had been bleeding internally, and it had reached the point of hopelessness.

"Your Majesty."

The imperial doctor outside the door was a little anxious, so he knocked on the door and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to keep his feelings.

"It's okay, don't come in." Zhu Yuanzhang shouted with all his might, and then there was no movement outside.

"Boy, do you know why I called you?" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have finished all the confessions, his face changed back to his original paleness, and he asked Hu Ye in a low voice.

"I don't know."

"I have called you here to complain to you, because these are all things that can only be confided in you, and only you will not dislike the gossip of an old man like me. Xiao Anzi is also old, I don't want to bring this love of mine to him, remember to let him retire in your academy in the future. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes dimmed a little, obviously this was arranging the aftermath.

"In the end, I don't care what you say is a lie or what is true, I just want to ask you, no matter what happens in the future, will you help my grandson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's old hand grabbed Hu Ye, and Hu Ye could feel the trembling of Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, without any strength.

Hu Ye was entangled in his heart, he really didn't want to deceive this strong old man, this was just an old man who was thinking about his grandson.

"Your Majesty, I promise you, no matter what happens in the future, I will help the Ming Dynasty."

Hu Ye didn't want to deceive Zhu Yuanzhang, nor did he want to go against his will, so he had to say such a thing.

"Help the Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing Hu Ye's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly became hollow, hearing this, he seemed to understand everything, and understood why Hu Ye came to Nanjing in the first place, not because of Ruan An's recommendation at all.

I also understand why Zhu Yunwen was assassinated in Haining, and the final conclusion will be that it was done by the Japanese Kou.

"Is this the will of God?" Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes in pain, his hand holding Hu Ye loosened, and his body trembled.

Hu Ye stood on the side, not saying a word, he knew that this was too cruel for this old man, but this was the case, he didn't want to deceive the old man at the last moment, his lies were enough, he didn't want to deceive a dying person again.

As for the consequences of doing this, he didn't want to think about it, there were already too many people who wanted to kill him, damn it, he had already died countless times, and he didn't care about one more time.

This is the first time Hu Ye believes in the destiny of heaven.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was already extremely pale, and his eyes began to drift, and finally stared at Hu Ye and said, "Promise me, don't let my children and grandchildren kill each other." ”

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally waved his hand, signaling that Hu Ye could leave.

Hu Ye didn't want to stay here longer, so he turned around and walked out of the room.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Ye's back, his eyes changed from empty to condensed, and then became hollow, still thinking about something in his heart.

Hu Ye pushed open the door, Zhu Yunwen, Ruan An and the imperial doctor were all outside the door, and when they saw Hu Ye walking out, they all walked in.

Zhu Yunwen came to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedside and saw that his imperial grandfather's face had become so pale, so he asked the imperial doctor to treat him immediately.

The imperial doctor didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to take the pulse, but after a moment, he just shook his head.

Zhu Yunwen's face was gloomy, and he wanted to insult the imperial doctor for a while, but he found that Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand on his shoulder with difficulty, and then heard Zhu Yuanzhang's faint voice, "Grandson, my life is short, promise me to run the Ming Dynasty well, it is my hard work." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's hand was lowered, his eyes slowly closed, and his body began to get cold.

"Grandpa!"

Zhu Yunwen couldn't stop crying, holding Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and refusing to let go.

Ruan An and the imperial physician also knelt down, but at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have some unfulfilled wishes, and finally opened his eyes with difficulty, and his mouth was wide open.

"Grandpa Huang, what are you going to say?"

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly put his ears up, trying to hear what his grandfather was going to say, but the voice was too small, and he only heard three words, "...... Hu Ye"

After that, there was no follow-up, Zhu Yuanzhang completely stopped breathing, and his body began to become cold, and he died completely. The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty finally lay in the imperial mausoleum he had prepared.

"Grandpa!"

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunwen and Ruan An's voices came out of the room, and Hu Ye could hear them clearly outside, it was the kind of crying from the heart.

The cold wind outside the imperial mausoleum blew up pieces of fallen leaves, blowing on Hu Ye's face and body.

Zhu Yunwen and the others have already come out, presumably they have already finished taking care of the afterlife, since Zhu Yuanzhang has already anticipated his death, there is no reason not to prepare the coffin.

It's just that this founding emperor wants to watch his own grand funeral with his own eyes and watch others mourn him. In the end, it went quietly, and there were only a few people who mourned.

But what is this qiē for? Hu Ye didn't want to say that it was because of a note of his own that made the founding emperor feel like ashes. He didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say in the end, and he didn't know if he had given Zhu Yunwen any orders.

At this moment, I remembered what Zhu Yuanzhang said to myself just now, "Don't let my descendants kill each other." ”

Maybe Zhu Yuanzhang, the last one before he died, understood what Zhu Di's madness was about, and also understood that his grandson had released a tiger from the moment he let go of Zhu Gaochi and them, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Don't mention today's matter to anyone, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

Zhu Yunwen took Hu Ye and others to walk on the path of the imperial mausoleum and began to give a gag order, because once the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's fake death spread, I am afraid that it will immediately cause an uproar, which is an unprecedented blow to the reputation of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor.

"Wechen obeys."

Hu Ye and the others bowed down and said yes, they all knew the strictness of the matter, and it was better to rot in the stomach for this kind of thing that was related to the royal reputation. (To be continued......)
