264. Roots

"Zhu Gaoxu ......"

"Do you think he can think of that? Who will really get him to come to you? You're trying to maintain them while they're using you, have you ever thought about that? ”

When my words were blocked by Ah Ping again, my heart couldn't help but come up: "Can't you let me finish my words?" Yes, whether it is Yan Wang or Zhu Gaoxu, they may just want to come to you through my mouth, but I am rarely a person who does not know right from wrong? Or do you think I'm so stupid and willing to be shot? I have my own judgment, and I came to you to find out the whole thing, why did your imperial grandfather attack the second king on his deathbed, and after you ascended the throne and became emperor, he made such a big move? Why can't you tell me this, but misinterpret me like this? ”

I thought he was going to be furious, but just looking at me, his dark eyes were getting darker and darker, and my heart was sinking, and he still didn't want to confess the whole thing to me?

saw that he suddenly lowered his eyes and whispered: "It's the emperor's grandfather's dying will." ”

"What?" I was stunned.

"The emperor's grandfather could only be sick in the last days, and I temporarily managed the government on his behalf as the prince, and after the next court, I told him all the folds of the court. But one day, the emperor's grandfather woke up in the middle of the night, and announced that I had arrived in front of the palace, but he didn't speak for a long time, only frowning, seeing that the time of the court was going to be delayed, I brought it up, but he suddenly ordered to go to the court in person. No one knew why he wanted to offend the two uncles in the court, and immediately investigated it, and the ministers were afraid to come out, and when I asked my grandfather the reason, he was silent for a long time and refused to say, until the last night he gave me an edict to inform me of the matter. ”

Hearing this, I had a bad premonition, and a vague thought rolled through my mind. Ah Ping continued: "He said that someone had a dream on him, telling him that after I ascended the throne, the government was unstable, and he was eventually replaced, and the person who replaced me was one of my many uncles. He thought about it again and again, thinking that the two kings and the three kings were the most likely to support their own troops, and they were also the strongest after my father was gone, so he cut off the root cause for me first, and among the remaining kings, only King Yan might still pose a threat to me, but the emperor's grandfather thought that the Ming Dynasty needed him to defend it, and King Yan could not come out for the time being. And he can't do more during his lifetime, otherwise it will cause chaos in the court and make the kings rise up and attack him. After I ascend the throne, I am ordered to break through one by one, remove the kings and vassals, and take back all the power in my hands. ”

It was as if an arrow of white light had shot through my brain, making it a blank slate.

Ah Ping said that all of this came from Zhu Yuanzhang...... A dream? I opened my mouth several times, my voice was hoarse in my throat, and my dark eyes showed distress in my stunned eyes, and pulled me into my arms, "Lan, I have told you everything without concealment." In any case, I have ascended the throne, and I must not live up to the expectations of my grandfather, and I must ensure that this government is untouched, and I must not let the Ming dynasty be ruined in my hands. ”

"But is it just because of a dream?" I asked with difficulty.

"Once an emperor is an emperor, no one can affect the government, even if you kill a hundred people by mistake and not let one go, it may be cruel, but there is no way. This is what my grandfather repeatedly warned me on his deathbed, that I must not be soft-hearted, and," he paused, "I have sworn a poisonous oath, but if I do not obey the edict, I will lose you forever." ”

My heart was shocked, my eyes widened in shock, I couldn't believe what my ears heard, and Ah Ping smiled at me miserably: "No way, the imperial grandfather knows that I care about you the most, and he asked me to swear by you poisonously, and I can't disobey." ”

I didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be so ruthless! He knew that I had become Ah Ping's fatal weakness, so he used me as a threat, and forced Ah Ping to inherit his legacy while he was still in power. But the root of all this is not Zhu Yuanzhang, nor the cruel monarch's right, but me.

I was drowsy for half a year, living in chaos, I don't know day and night, but in those long years, I had about two dreams, one was that the person with only a voice was talking to me, and the other was that I was talking to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the dream, because I knew that I was dreaming, I spoke without scruples, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang about the historical secret that had been hidden in my heart for a long time. Now Ah Ping said that Zhu Yuanzhang gave a killing order because he had a dream, and asked Ah Ping to kill those uncles one by one after he ascended the throne and became emperor, in order to ensure the stability of the country.

I have thought about all kinds of possibilities, and I have constantly weighed the situation, and I have always believed that with Ah Ping's benevolent heart, it is unlikely that he will rashly withdraw the domain and kill the king. But I never thought that the root cause would come from me, and it would be the dream words that came out of my mouth that caused the situation to really go down into history.

How do I want to carry this pot? And how can I get away with it?

A warm heat in my chest and abdomen rushed upward, and the more I tried to press it, the more I couldn't suppress it, and when I opened my mouth with "wow", blood arrows flew out. The gaze of the fallen was Ah Ping's frightened face, and I fell into his arms, and my chest ached.

"Someone come, pass on the imperial doctor." In his ears was Ah Ping's anxious roar.

I tried to appease him, but I didn't have the strength, I thought I would faint but I felt that I was hanging there all the time. I knew that it must have come out of my heart after learning all this just now. Ah Ping hugged me to the couch and was so anxious, but he still wanted to comfort me: "The imperial doctor will be here soon, don't be afraid, I will definitely be fine with me." ”

Seeing him like this, I was so sad, I always thought about changing my life for him, and tried my best to save the relationship between him and Zhu Di, but I didn't know that all this was caused by me. It's really because of me!

Later, the imperial doctor came in a hurry, and when he called for my pulse, I felt unbearable pain in my heart and lungs, but I still did not faint. After the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he stopped talking, and he was ordered by Ah Ping to drink before he said slowly, saying that I vomited blood due to emotional excitement, and also damaged my heart and lungs.

Sure enough, I had a high fever that night, and I felt pain all over my body. In the middle of the night, he began to talk nonsense, and kept shouting Ah Ping's name to find him, and when he felt his breath, he couldn't help crying in his arms.

I hurt you, Ah Ping, I don't know that it was me who hurt you, I talked nonsense to your grandfather, you don't follow the edict, even if there is retribution on me, it doesn't matter. You can't die, I can't let you die......

"I know, I know."

The blurred figure in the misty vision, the voice seemed to come from a distant place, and hit my eardrums one by one: "Lan, don't blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you." It's not your fault, it's your fault...... I'm in the emperor's house, you don't know how much I want to give you a peaceful home, how much I want to take you back to Ginkgo Village, but I can't. I know that he has weight in your heart, and I can promise you not to move him, but you must get better. ”

Suddenly, my mind cleared up, was I just hallucinating or was someone really talking in my ear? Trying to open his eyes, he gradually saw the familiar face clearly, his heart suddenly became cold, and Ah Ping was close at hand.

"What did I say?" Muttered.

He hugged me tightly, "It's okay Lan, I already know something, so...... I'm so scared of losing you. In the past, when I didn't know, I always thought that as long as I became stronger, I could protect you, and no one could separate us, but it turned out that there was an invincible force in this world. When I heard you talk nonsense that night, I was shocked and couldn't believe that I couldn't find any way but to hide the beaded chain. ”

I was stunned to realize that I had indeed looked for the Xingyue bracelet, but I never found it, and I didn't want to be secretly hidden by him. What is even more unimaginable to me is that he already knew that I might not be from this era!

"Lan, I don't want to delve into your past, I just want to let you go since you have entered my life. In fact, when he was dying, the emperor's grandfather told me that you gave him a dream, and you were still unconscious at that time, so I believed it at the first time. I confess to you that I don't want you to be stressed, no matter what happens in the future, it is destiny. Don't tell me anything in the future, because after I learned about you, I visited the eminent monk and said that if I leak the secret of heaven, I will be punished by heaven! thought that being in a coma for half a year was the curse of you confiding the truth to your grandfather, but you didn't think that it was really today. ”

At this time, I can no longer deceive myself, thinking that the secret that has been hidden has long been known by Ah Ping, and I think that I can no longer have scruples in my dreams, but I didn't want to take Zhu Yuanzhang's dream seriously, and because I confided in history, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already suspicious, began to kill his son.

If all of this is attributed to providence, it is my escape from reality. In fact, I thought that I could reverse the situation with the secret of history, but I didn't expect it to lead directly to this outcome.

When that day comes, how can I be embarrassed?

Because of the depression in the heart and the high fever is difficult to go away, but consciously, knowing that the people around him come and go, Ah Ping was furious and reprimanded all the doctors who came to the consultation, but he couldn't make me get the fever down.
