Chapter 443: Life is Full of Lies
After a day of shopping in the academy, the new semester is normal, except for a few old men who are helpless, the academy is still operating normally. The three princes also gradually came out of the pain of losing their mother, and began to focus on learning, wanting to use a lot of knowledge to forget about their distress.
Hu Ye, who returned to the Nameless Mansion, lay directly on the bed and watched the moon, tonight is the first quarter moon, but the clouds and mist are thick, and he can't see the whole picture, more like a shy little girl.
Hu Ye found out that he had Yingxue by his side in the past few days, and he felt very warm, but now that Yingxue is gone, Hu Ye's heart is empty.
"Hey, I don't know if Zhu Di's goods are still interesting to Yingxue."
Hu Ye turned over, he decided to be with Yingxue, but he made a lot of determination, Zhang Yingxue in history has become Zhu Di's wife, and he may have become the first person in history to rob the emperor's wife.
But since he did it, he can't regret it, Hu Ye prefers to believe in the relationship between Zhu Di and Zhang Yingxue in history, which is more like a marriage between the royal family and the minister, as long as it is a woman of the Zhang family. And Zhang Fu's second daughter should be able to meet this, because she will become Zhu Gaochi's wife.
"What a mess of royal marriages."
Hu Ye rubbed his forehead, this is not something to consider now, it is better to sleep first, calculate the time, Zhu Yunwen is afraid that he will start cutting the domain, and the storm of the Ming Dynasty is about to begin.
However, there are always people who don't want Hu Ye to sleep peacefully, and before they close their eyes, they are awakened by the noise in the yard.
If it were any other voice, I am afraid that Hu Yeli would not pay attention to it, and directly let the old money be sent away, just like Yun Zitai yesterday.
But tonight is different, because he heard it, this voice is an old acquaintance, which Ruan An has never passed by since Zhu Yuanzhang died. As a result, the college does not have a teacher of architecture, so students who can only learn well can only teach on their behalf.
"Grandpa Ruan. After so many days, where have you gone? ”
Hu Ye pushed open the door and saw Ruan An pointing at Lao Qian's nose and cursing.
Seeing Hu Ye walk out, Ruan An didn't say a word, pushed away the old money, and pulled Hu Ye out.
"Grandpa Ruan, what the hell is going on?"
Hu Ye looked at Ruan An in surprise, he had never seen Ruan An's expression so strict, could it be that Ruan An had experienced something in the past month or so?
"Don't ask. Come with me. Ruan An turned around, said to Hu Ye very strictly, and then pointed at Lao Qian, "You are not allowed to follow, otherwise you will end up dead." ”
When did Ruan An speak so murderously?
Hu Ye was even more surprised, thinking that Ruan An didn't need to harm himself, so he let Lao Qian stay.
"Grandpa Ruan, what happened? I've never seen you in such a hurry before? And where did you run this month? I inquired, and I heard that you are guarding the tomb of the former emperor? ”
was led by Ruan An in the city of Nanjing. Hu Ye asked in a low voice.
"There are so many problems, I'll take you to meet someone, and after you meet, you'll know what's going on."
Ruan An walked in front without looking back. Hu Ye had to follow.
After walking for about a stick of incense, the two came to a place guarded by heavy soldiers, and under the dim moonlight, Hu Ye could vaguely see a few words. "Imperial Tomb!"
Hu Ye almost fainted, what did Ruan An bring himself to this place for? Do you want to give Zhu Yuanzhang a funeral by yourself? Haven't you already buried several concubines? Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang died and didn't let go of the minister?
The guards of the Imperial Tomb were obviously familiar with Ruan An, and they didn't stop them at all. Let Ruan An pull Hu Ye into the imperial mausoleum.
Walking into the imperial mausoleum, there was immediately a gloomy atmosphere, although Hu Ye had not watched ghost movies, but on this kind of dark and windy night, it is strange to come to this kind of place, and not be afraid.
Ruan An continued to take Hu Ye forward, bypassing several mausoleums with only stone tablets, Hu Ye knew that this was the so-called empty tomb, in order to prevent someone from robbing the tomb in the future, which could be regarded as the last protection for Zhu Yuanzhang.
After several more turns inside, Ruan An finally took Hu Ye to a large hall.
Hu Ye looked at this hall in surprise, he didn't expect that there was such a big hall in the imperial mausoleum, it must be the place where Ruan An guarded the mausoleum.
"Come in with me." Ruan An said a word, and then took Hu Ye into the hall.
The inside of the main hall is not gloomy at all, it looks no different from the palace outside, and it is fully equipped, if it weren't for the imperial mausoleum outside, Hu Ye would probably think that this is the palace of a big man.
"Boy, keep up!"
Ruan An said to Hu Ye in a hurry, Hu Ye quickly collected his thoughts, Ruan An was so anxious, it was definitely not a trivial matter.
Soon, Ruan An took Hu Ye into a small room, the weather in February, just spring, is still cold and cold, especially this kind of palace in the depths of the imperial mausoleum, all reveal a cold air.
But there is a brazier lit in this small house, and it is warm and warm as soon as you walk in, and it feels very comfortable.
There is a table in the small house, and a bed.
There was a man lying on the bed, and there were two people standing next to the bed, one with a white beard, who looked to be dozens of years old. There is another twenty-something Hu Ye knows, that is the current emperor Zhu Yunwen.
"Why is this guy here?"
Hu Ye was taken aback, Zhu Yunwen had nothing to do and ran to the imperial mausoleum? Something must be wrong.
Wait a minute!
Looking at Zhu Yunwen's eyes, they were full of grief, obviously the people lying on the bed were his relatives.
"Isn't it?"
Hu Ye thought of a possibility, and suddenly his back was cold, and he wanted to leave, but he was already discovered by Zhu Yunwen.
"You're here, Grandpa Huang has something to tell you."
Zhu Yunwen turned around, glanced at Hu Ye, smiled bitterly, and walked out with Ruan An.
Hearing Zhu Yunwen say that the emperor's grandfather, Hu Ye knew that he couldn't run away, this Zhu Yuanzhang was really fake death, he said that although Zhu Yuanzhang was weak last time, he wouldn't die so soon.
Hu Ye had no choice but to bow to Zhu Yunwen, and then slowly came to the bed, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang on the bed, he was really much haggard than before, the corners of his mouth were already pale and couldn't be pale, his eyes were still closed, he must be closing his eyes to recuperate.
And the old man next to the bed is obviously the imperial doctor, and the person who can know that Zhu Yuanzhang trusts so much must also be Zhu Yuanzhang's henchman.
Hearing that Hu Ye was coming, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes with difficulty, and the empty eyes really startled Hu Ye.
"Imperial Doctor Li, you ...... first Get out, I'll follow ...... I have something to say to Hu Ye. Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth with difficulty and said a word.
The imperial physician surnamed Li nodded, and walked out with a medicine box on his shoulder.
After a while, only the seriously ill Zhu Yuanzhang and the frightened Hu Ye were left in this room.
"Little ...... Boy, are you surprised to see me? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile, and Hu Ye could see how hard Zhu Yuanzhang had worked for this smile.
This is the powerful Ming Taizu, the civilian emperor, from nothing, to the person who established the huge empire of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Ye suddenly felt sad at this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang single-handedly laid down the Ming Dynasty, but in the end he had to fake his death for his children and grandchildren, and he was still breathing in this imperial mausoleum.
Let you be peerless, and the leader is just a pale face.
"Your Majesty, you will live a hundred years."
Hu Ye didn't know what to say, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a brilliant life, ended up like this, he could only say such things.
"Ahem......" Zhu Yuanzhang coughed twice after listening to Hu Ye's words, "You kid...... Still so flamboyant, am I still ...... I don't know ...... yet body. ”
"Your Majesty, sometimes a lie is better than the truth, don't you say?" Hu Ye sat on the bed and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a smooth breath before saying slowly.
"yes, lies...... Sometimes it's better, it's just that this lie of mine has made too many people suffer...... Hurt. Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes in pain, obviously knowing the news that Zhu Di was crazy, this is the result of his every precaution, presumably when he coaxed the world, he would never think of this.
"Your Majesty, it's impossible for this generation not to lie, it's just a matter of how much."
After Hu Ye saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer coughing, he cut off the decoction on the table to Zhu Yuanzhang, and was going to feed him medicine to see if he could let this strong old man live a little longer.
"Lies, lies, maybe we live for the rest of our lives...... Living in lies. I have lied to you...... Lied, I don't know, you ...... Have you deceived me? Zhu Yuanzhang did not drink the medicine, but raised his head with all his strength, looked at Hu Ye very seriously and asked.
"Your Majesty, I said that a person's life is made up of lies, and what I said to the emperor is both false and true, as for what is true and what is false, Weichen is not good to say. And didn't you just say that sometimes lies are better than truths. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't drink the medicine, Hu Ye didn't force it, and after putting down the soup bowl, he said helplessly.
He really wanted to tell Zhu Yuanzhang the truth, but he found that Zhu Yuanzhang never asked him if he was a spy sent by Zhu Di, because then he had to imagine his son as a person who coveted his throne, which was not what he wanted to foresee.
People are always so contradictory sometimes, wanting to know the truth, but not daring to know the truth, and now that he heard that his son was driven crazy, he finally realized something.
"Boy, my grandson is a good ...... A good emperor? ”
Seeing that Hu Ye had something to say, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't get to the bottom of it, and said that these things were no longer important to him now.
Hu Ye was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how to answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question.
"Your Majesty, leave the good or bad to future generations to tell, our evaluation is just a passing cloud, and it will eventually be sealed in the dust of history." After thinking for a while, Hu Ye decided not to evaluate Zhu Yunwen. (To be continued......)
