Chapter 579: Zhu Yunwen's decision
"Shameless traitor, don't kneel down when you see the emperor!"
Yun Zichen yelled at Hu Ye.
"The emperor is now in the Forbidden City in Nanjing." Hu Ye said quietly.
"Hmph, those who seek to usurp the throne dare to call themselves emperors? As a courtier, you actually help the abuse, don't you deserve to die! Yun Zichen said angrily, he couldn't wait to break Hu Ye's body into ten thousand pieces now.
"When Emperor Taizu was dying, he once asked me a word, he asked me who my heart was, I only said one sentence, my heart is to Daming, if you still want to say that I am helping to abuse, I have nothing to say, if you still want to kill me, please do it yourself, but I will not be restrained." Hu Ye took the flintlock pistol in his hand and said loudly.
"Hmph, quibble. A rebellious minister and a thief is a rebellious thief, and he still says that his heart is to Daming? Yun Zichen snorted coldly, but he was helpless, with Zhang Dingbian here, he couldn't move Hu Ye.
"Do you mean, when I become the emperor, I can't catch up with my fourth uncle as the emperor?" Zhu Yunwen suddenly said that he looked much calmer than Yun Zichen, and Hu Ye had to look at him differently.
People who have experienced such ups and downs can still deal with it so calmly, and the current Zhu Yunwen is no longer the imperial grandson of the year, nor is he the Emperor Jianwen of the year.
"With all due respect, I'm afraid that's true." Hu Ye replied.
"Look for death!"
Yun Zichen shouted, and he couldn't care about Zhang Dingbian's obstruction, and stabbed at Hu Ye with a sword.
"Calm down!"
Zhang Dingbian grabbed Yun Zichen and drank loudly.
"General Zhang, such a chaotic thief, why do you still want to protect him?" Yun Zichen said anxiously.
"Rebels and thieves? Back then, I was a general in the Yuan Dynasty, and I also served as a pawn for Chen Youliang, should I, a chaotic minister and thief, be punished by everyone? Zhang Dingbian asked loudly.
Yun Zichen has nothing to say, he can't say what kind of chaotic minister Zhang Dingbian is.
"There is a good saying, every man is his master. He was doing things in Beiping at the beginning, and at the last critical moment, he let you go, which is already benevolent and righteous. Zhang Dingbian let go of Yun Zichen, Nan Nan said.
"Benevolence and righteousness? Is General Zhang excusing him? Yun Zichen's face changed dramatically.
"Do you know why I'm bringing him here? I'm not for what you say, or for what you say, I'm just for a promise from my son. If it weren't for the fact that you helped my son back then, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this matter. Now I have brought this boy here, not to let you kill him, but to solve the problem. Zhang Dingbian said coldly.
"Solve the problem? How to fix it? Hu Ye frowned. Now that Yun Zichen has decided that he is a chaotic minister and thief, he does have some places to be sorry for Zhu Yunwen, in Yun Zichen's opinion, there is only one solution, that is, to kill himself.
"Zichen, don't be impatient." Zhu Yunwen stepped forward, patted Yun Zichen on the shoulder, and whispered, "I was eager to seek merit at the beginning. actually agreed to Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng's cutting of the domain, which can be described as self-destruction. ”
"Your Majesty!" Yun Zichen roared, "No matter what you say, your emperor is the unification." Then Zhu Di is plotting to usurp the throne. As long as the emperor comes forward and raises his arms, the subjects of the four seas will definitely support the emperor! ”
"Hehe, subjects of the four seas? Do you remember how they survived the war in the past few years? Their tax burden was doubled by me. Their lives were dragged into the quagmire by me. Have you seen how they've changed this year? It only took a year for the fourth uncle to let them live a stable life, and it took less than a year. I admit that I am not as good as my fourth uncle. I didn't have the courage to send a large army thousands of miles east to conquer the Japanese kingdom. Zhu Yunwen said with his eyes closed.
Hu Ye couldn't tell whether Zhu Yunwen was sincere or fake, but he knew that Zhu Yunwen was more mature.
"Your Majesty, you can do this qiē!" Yun Zichen said.
"It's impossible, maybe I was born to be an imperial grandson, and the position of emperor is not suitable for me." Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly, and then said to Hu Ye, "You said that you are for Daming, I believe you, and I will not pursue the past incidents." But now my fourth uncle is still secretly sending people to search for the two of us, and I want you to help us disappear! ”
Hu Ye frowned, presumably this was their ultimate goal of seeing him this time, they wanted to leave Zhu Di's range forever.
"Are you suspicious of your secret that I told the emperor?" Hu Ye asked rhetorically.
"You wouldn't have done anything more, and if you had told the truth, you wouldn't have built a sewer to the palace in the first place. My fourth uncle is a shrewd man, and with two corpses, he wouldn't have believed that I was dead at all, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many secret guards looking for us this year. Zhu Yunwen said helplessly.
"So did you really let go?" Hu Ye asked in a low voice.
"It's impossible to say that it's completely let go, the feeling of being in charge of the world is so refreshing, as long as you get contaminated, you will be infatuated, otherwise throughout the ages, there won't be so many emperors who seek immortality, do you think they are to live longer? In fact, they are trying to enjoy the feeling of being in power. I'm no exception, and if I was given a chance, I would regain the throne, but I know that this opportunity will never come. ”
Hu Ye listened to Zhu Yunwen's words and knew that this was Zhu Yunwen's truth, if he said that he had completely laid down the throne, Hu Ye would think it was a lie.
"In that case, how do you want me to help you?" Hu Ye asked.
"It's very simple, I want to leave the Ming Dynasty and live a stable life." Zhu Yunwen said.
"Leaving the Ming Dynasty? What are you looking for me for? Hu Ye asked with a frown.
"Because you're the only one who has the guts."
"Aren't you afraid I'll call someone?" Hu Ye touched his nose and said.
"Naturally, I was sure that you wouldn't call someone to come, so I dared to come to see you, and do you think you can call someone in this situation?" Zhu Yunwen said with a smile.
"Let's talk about it, are you going to Eastern Tibet or Ryukyu." Hu Ye knew that when they came to find him, they must have used their fleet to leave the mainland.
"I heard that this time, there will be a team of officials in your fleet, which was sent by the fourth uncle to take over Dongfan?"
"That's true, are you going to Dongfan?" Hu Ye asked.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head, and then said, "Dongfan will also be the territory of the fourth uncle in the future, so I won't be stupid enough to stay in Dongfan." Your fleet must pass through the Ryukyus, and then send us to the Ryukyus. ”
"You're going to Ryukyu?"
Hu Ye looked at Zhu Yunwen curiously, originally he thought that Zhu Yunwen would already have a lot of courage when he stayed in Dongfan, but he didn't expect him to go directly to Ryukyu, that kind of place is very remote, and the news is also very closed, could it be that Zhu Yunwen really gave up any fantasy of being an emperor? Do you really want to be hidden?
"What? Don't you fulfill this last wish for us? Zhu Yunwen said.
"I didn't mean that, I'm just curious why you made this decision."
"People have to make a lot of decisions in this life, and you can't be right for every one, and you are the same, aren't you?" Zhu Yunwen smiled, and then patted Yun Zichen on the shoulder, and asked Yun Zichen to put away the sword, all the things just now were just a catharsis for this year's fugitive career.
"yes, it's impossible to make every decision right." Hu Ye also muttered, and then turned around, "Let's go, the fleet will be pulled out tomorrow, and it will take a few days to reach Dongfan, and then I will be able to reach Ryukyu, and then I will have nothing to do with you." ”
After Hu Ye finished speaking, he walked out of the room.
"Your Majesty..."
Yun Zichen looked at Hu Ye's back, and still couldn't let go in his heart, thinking that he trusted Hu Ye so much back then, but he didn't expect to be deceived by Hu Ye in the end.
"Let's go, don't call me emperor in the future, call me son, we are not monarchs and ministers, just masters and servants, don't think about it anymore, live the rest of your life." Zhu Yunwen said that, and walked out.
Yun Zichen's brows furrowed and wrinkled, and finally followed, he had followed Zhu Yunwen since he was a child, and now that Zhu Yunwen was going to leave Ryukyu, he had no choice but to follow. Zhu Yunwen said that the grievances with Hu Ye were written off, and he would no longer be entangled, perhaps, he would never have the opportunity to meet Hu Ye again in his life.
"So very good, so very good, the old man didn't run in vain this time, and my son didn't live up to your kindness." Zhang Dingbian stroked his beard with a smile, and followed out of the room and disappeared into the dark night.
…
"Ahh
Nanjing was still very cold in the middle of the night, Zhu Di suddenly sneezed, rolled over in bed, and suddenly couldn't sleep.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Xu Miaoyin opened her hazy sleepy eyes and asked Zhu Di in a low voice.
"It's okay, it's okay, maybe it's getting into the wind, I'll ask someone to send a bigger quilt tomorrow."
Zhu Di rubbed his nose, touched Xu Miaoyin's forehead with a smile, and comforted her.
Xu Miaoyin smiled, then closed her eyes and continued to sleep, somehow, she had slept soundly recently.
Looking at Xu Miaoyin's face, Zhu Di nodded, then turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the window, but he was thinking about something else.
Ever since he ascended the throne last year, he had always suspected in his heart that the corpse was not Zhu Yunwen's, so he would have the same dream every night, dreaming that his throne was suddenly gone and replaced by Zhu Yunwen.
After turning his head to confirm that Xu Miaoyin was asleep, Zhu Di suddenly turned over, put on his clothes, and walked out of the dormitory.
"Your Majesty, why are you awake?" Zheng Er saw Zhu Di suddenly come out, so he asked in a low voice.
"Go and call Zheng Da to me, as well as Shimei, Jin Zhong, and Liu Fu all call me." Zhu Di said with a hint of paleness.
Zheng Er was taken aback by Zhu Di's face, thinking that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to call someone. (To be continued......)
