Chapter 79: These two years are a bit long
"Why did you send someone to watch me? and you won't let me go out, I still want to go shopping in the afternoon." Zhang Erzhen asked, leaning her neck.
"There are a lot of people in the palace, I'm afraid you will listen to what they say nonsense. "Zhu Youzhu is very honest and very neat.
"Are you afraid that they will say that you are cruel and tyrannical and that I have heard about it?" Zhang Erzhen smiled.
Zhu Youzhu turned his head with a serious expression: "If someone really told you this, what did you hear?"
Zhang Erzhen shook her head, "I came to the palace and didn't meet anyone else, these words...... I heard it outside the palace. I heard it when the first emperor was still alive, but I knew that it was the king of Yu who said, what kind of person you are, I know. ”
Zhu Youzhu pulled her and continued to walk slowly, her voice in a trance: "A lot of words, I don't want others to tell you." It doesn't matter if I'm scared or cautious, it doesn't matter what others think of me. In the past two years, you must have guessed that a lot of things have happened, and naturally many people will die. They all have something to do with me to a greater or lesser extent, some of them died because of me, some of them were killed by me, Zhenzhen, if you are afraid, just treat them as if they never existed, and we will never mention them again. In the future, in this palace, there will be you, me, and the people next to you will not matter. ”
Zhang Erzhen wanted to know how he had come all the way, so she said, "That's the most important part of your life, so I want to know." Are those people okay now?"
Zhu Youzhu pulled her to sit in the bee arch pavilion in the imperial garden, and slowly replied: "In the past two years, there have been some long ......."
Zhu Youji's simple narrative coupled with Zhang Erzhen's own rich associations easily restored the Ming Dynasty in the past two years: the first emperor was sick in bed and his temperament became more and more eccentric, and he became more and more dissatisfied with the prince, no one believed it, but he attached great importance to and reused Wan Shangshu, and began to pay attention to the fourth prince Zhu Youqi under the bewitchment of Wan Shangshu. That's right, since the prince is so disobedient to himself, I have many princes, and I will have a new prince. Wan Shangshu's purpose is even simpler, the adult princes kill each other, the snipe and the clam fight, and finally the fisherman wins, if the young Nine Emperor Princes ascend the throne, he coerces the Son of Heaven to make the grand vision of the princes come true. But no one in the Manchu Dynasty is a fool, and who can't see Wan Shangshu's ambition?
Zhu Youqi, who was fascinated by the desire for power, began to target Zhu Youji, making obstacles everywhere and always restricting him. If the prince dies in southern Yunnan without blessing, it is only fate, it is God's support and encouragement to me! Zhu Youzhu did not continue to let it go, he promised the old emperor in person, but the villain Zhu Youqi went, Zhu Youqi did not obey, Zhu Youzhu laughed at him:" The fourth brother's current objection, what can be done for the brothers, the younger brothers who love and cherish are what the brothers can do, but I don't know, the fifth brother and the eighth brother and the Wanhua imperial sister, are willing to go to southern Yunnan to do this, the palace should seriously consider it, right...... And Concubine Shao's ......"
"You threaten me?" Zhu Youqi didn't believe it: "My father is still here, and this world is not yours!"
"So what, this palace guarantees that when you return from southern Yunnan, you will all be safe, if you don't, you will ...... Not a single one is left. ”
Zhu Youqi believed that Zhu Youzhu would do what he said, but the big cake that Wan Shangshu painted for him was too tempting, and the throne that was more important than the fifth brother and the eighth brother and the imperial sister of Wanhua made Zhu Youqi shake his head: "I won't go, the imperial brother will go and talk to his father." ”
Zhu Youzhu sneered, if you don't make a move, when will you wait. On the second day, Wan Shangshu died violently at home, Zhu Youqi suddenly sobered up, and now the prince has a large number of capable people, and the ministers who support him account for more than half. Before leaving, Zhu Youqi asked: "The matter of southern Yunnan, should you deliberately lure the snake out of the hole?"
Zhu Youzhu smiled and shook his head, and then Zhu Youqi took away the 5,000 troops of the military department, leaving only all the people in the capital ready to move.
Sent Zhu Youqi away, Zhu Youzhu jumped out again, he was not satisfied with the holy decree of the Holy King, and insisted on seeing the emperor, "My father must be held by my brother, I want my father to say it to my face." Compared with his patience with the fourth brother, Zhu Youzhu sneered at the eighth brother and then ignored it, he had a lot of accounts to settle with him, so let him jump a few times first.
On the night of the first emperor's death, only Zhu Youzhu stood in front of the dragon bed. Zhu Youzhu caressed his father's face, closed his father's wide eyes, and since he was dead, he had to die peacefully. Although the emperor scolded him before he died, he still didn't have time to write the edict abolishing the prince. The confused father said weakly after scolding him: "...... Send my dragon robe to Fengyang, I want to be with my concubine...... "Zhu Youzhu didn't respond, the emperor was angry and bloody, and he didn't blink an eye.
The emperor died, and Zhu You, the first prince of the Emperor to disappear, finally took action. He endured it for several years, and he was a smart and ruthless character. One night mutiny, Qian Neng of the military department defected to Zhu Youheng with his cronies, and led the Sima army of the five cities and more than 10,000 people from the suburban barracks to attack the imperial city, and the flames soared into the sky. The eunuchs and palace maids were either dead or wounded, screaming and panicking. The army of the king of Yu broke into from the Shenwu Gate, and took most of the Wenchen's family members into the palace, if there was a resistant, he was killed on the spot, without mercy, that night, blood sprayed everywhere, more than Zhu Youzhu saw on the battlefield.
When standing opposite Zhu Youyi, Zhu Youzhu was not surprised, "This palace has always known that you have this ability, you are brave and decisive, you know people and make good use of them, you are a general, and you also have the appearance of an emperor." However, the world of the Zhu family has long been decided, you are like this today, you are no different from the rebellious ministers and thieves, Zhu You, I knew that you and I would have today after all, and we lived up to expectations, and the palace was very relieved. ”
"Hehe! Since the prince knew that I had this intention, and since he did not kill me, he should bear the consequences. Since this is the world of the Zhu family, what is the difference between you and me! The first emperor went through the change and restoration of seizing the door, and he insisted on pulling my grandfather down from the throne, how can this make us willing! Zhu Youji, now you should be me, and I am you! It's just that things are returned to their original owners, and they are not offered with both hands!"
"If you become a king or lose a king, it's useless to talk about it. Zhu Youjiao, you came prepared today, so sure I am defenseless against you?" Zhu Youzhu pulled out the pangwood in his hand and exploded in the sky with a "boom".
"Zhu Youji, your reinforcements have arrived, and they only have time to collect your corpse!" Zhu Youfang gave an order, and the army of King Yu rushed over with a roar, Qiu Er and Yao Yuan led the palace guards to resist, although the number was small, each martial arts were exquisite, and the two teams were deadlocked. Zhu Youzhu saw Sun Baijian hidden in the crowd, he was also wearing a suit of armor, and his face was hideous.
"Lord Sun, you have the courage to come today, you want to see how Bengong died?"
Sun Baijian strode forward and shouted: "I came today, and I didn't want to go back alive!"
"It's a man!" Zhu Youzhu smiled, and then heard the overwhelming shouts outside the palace, and 4,000 of the 5,000 troops he sent to southern Yunnan came waving military flags and roaring. The army of King Yu was in chaos, and Lord Cui, who was fifty percent of the soldiers and horses, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly whispered to Zhu You, and when Zhu Youzhu cut off one of the arms of the soldiers of the army of King Yu, Zhu You's flail was gone.
"Qiu Er, go chase Zhu You's flail!"
"Prince, you ...... here"
"Don't let me go!"
The battle continued, and the army of King Yu shouted "Qingjun side" while killing forward, and even shouted "The sky is furious, do not spare the prince, if you are the emperor, you will be punished by heaven!"
However, Zhu Youji's team attacked the army of King Yu inside and outside, and when the dawn broke, King Yu's army put down his sword in despair, and this palace rebellion ended with Zhu Youzhu escaping and Zhu Youji being wounded.
As soon as the first emperor died, the prince of the palace came to attack the city, this behavior completely angered the queen mother and the ministers inside and outside the palace, a crusade and killing, but the state funeral still has to be carried out, hurriedly clean up the body in the palace, and be busy with the death of the first emperor, as well as the pursuit of Zhu You's flail, Zhu Youji can only be injured. After being so busy for several months, I finally had a respite when the twenty-third year of Chenghua ended.
Zhu You's cunning rabbit three caves, Zhu Youzhu caught Sun Baijian, caught Yan Shenggong Lao Wei, and caught all Zhu You's cronies, but Zhu You's flail was not found. Looking at Wei Pujia, the princess of the prince of the Emperor, holding her belly for eight months, Zhu Youjia was gloomy and pondering, Wei Pujia knelt on the ground and begged them to let her child go, the child was innocent!
Is the child innocent? Zhu Youzhu thought about this question for many days. But the child is innocent, and the anger and resentment full of anger and resentment after the child grows up to become an adult are not innocent, and he can't let his child experience such a change again, Zhu Youzhu waved his hand, and took one last look at this poor woman, you are also innocent, but your husband and your father are not innocent. Wei Pujia's eight-month-old belly could not fall into the fetus, and finally died in a pool of blood. Even so, Zhu Youyao still did not show up, he hid too secretly, or the person who hid him was too shrewd.
The civil and military officials handed over the excerpts to the court every day, not to chase and kill fugitives, but to ask for a new emperor. Finally in March, Zhu Youzhu ascended the throne and changed his name to Hongzhi. Purgeed inside and outside, thoroughly investigated the hundred officials, panicked all day long, and finally found the body of the eighth prince Zhu Youfang, the capital was rummaged through, and it turned out that Zhu Youfang was hidden in the palace.
"What else do you have to say?" Zhu Youzhu admired Zhu Youjiao, he was not ruthless, he couldn't do this.
"I took the camp, but I lost a lot, Zhu Youji, you won so easily, you really have to be blessed by heaven, this is beyond my strength. ”
"Did I win easily, no, not at all. In the past 20 years, I have never had a moment of ease, I am guarding against Wanjia, guarding against the Shao family, guarding against the first emperor, guarding against my brothers, guarding against you, I haven't slept a peaceful night, fortunately, ...... It's finally over. Zhu Youzhu sneered.
"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”
"If you are really so righteous, why didn't you stand up and save your child in the first place!"
"Hehe! It's okay to die, and I can't protect him if I stay for my father, but on Huangquan Road, with him and his mother, I'm not alone. ”
"How can you be lonely, the lives of thousands of soldiers are not lives?"
"So what! Don't talk nonsense, come on!" Zhu Youjiao stood straight, but Zhu Youji looked at him and smiled, "Come on, break the two legs of the prince, send him to the prison, and wait for the fate." ”
