Chapter 257: Resolving Doubts and Grievances
Zhu Yunwen's fourth uncle, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was even more eloquent and strategic, and he was even more outstanding among several equally outstanding brothers! He made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. When his eldest brother died of illness, he took it for granted that the throne would give up who he was?
But he never expected that his father would actually pass the throne to that hairy boy. He is unwilling, really unwilling! On qualifications, talents, merits, and prestige, he doesn't throw that hairy boy out of the boss at all? But father, why do you want to pass on this great country to that hairy boy?
But although he was extremely sad and indignant in his heart, in front of the father who could see everything and was far better than himself, even if he was unwilling to do anything about him, he could only endure and dare not act rashly.
But when his old father finally left, the long-suppressed anger could no longer be held back. This splendid country is originally mine, if anyone is unwilling to give it to me, then I will rob it! Rush to the crown and be angry, and the world will shed blood! Poor little emperor Zhu Yunwen, whether in terms of knowledge or ability, where is himself, the opponent of you, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is known as the master of a generation? He was defeated, and he was completely defeated! And his majestic fourth uncle was ashamed to regain this great country!
"I know that Your Excellency is very smart, and the most fatal flaw of a smart person is that he is easily conceited! Maybe you don't want to admit it, but I have to say that in all aspects, your uncle is far better than you, and you are far worse than him! So, your failure is simply inevitable!" Looking at Zhu Yunwen beside him, Xiao Chen said with regret
"You"
"Don't be unconvinced! You listen to me tell you one by one, how many years has your fourth uncle carefully prepared for the battle for the world? And what about you? What have you done? In order to knock you down, your fourth uncle has gone to great lengths to understand your every move, and it is no exaggeration to say that he already knows your situation well! But how much do you know about him?"
"I" Zhu Yunwen was speechless.
"Let's talk about combat strength again, your fourth uncle has an elite division that has been in battle for a long time! And although the army under your command is numerous, the vast majority of it has long been out of battle. Since ancient times, there have been no more soldiers, but they are better and braver! A bloated and huge army not only does not have much combat strength, but on the contrary is a serious burden on your logistics! You should also understand who is weak and who is strong!
"This!" Zhu Yunwen was speechless, because he knew that what the other party said was the truth!
"There is also the problem of strategy, your fourth uncle's subordinates have a large group of capable men and wise men to assist him!
"My Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, they are all people who have read poetry and books, and they are all great Confucians in the world! Are they considered talents?" A glimmer of light appeared in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, and he finally grasped the loophole in the other party's words.
"Great Confucian, it's just a rotten Confucian!" Xiao Chen sneered, "These two pedantic people who can only read dead books together are not as good as that toe of Yao Guangxiao under your fourth uncle! In addition to coming up with some extremely pedantic and ridiculous stupid ideas for you, have they really come up with any strange ideas for you?"
"In good conscience, the character of the corrupt Confucians is impeccable! But they are okay to do their studies, and when they are allowed to participate in this kind of tragic war that is a matter of life and death and there is no room for slackness, they will not be able to help you in any way except to add to the chaos! Therefore, you are not unjust at all in defeat! Such a simple truth, even I understand! Actually, you should understand it even more, but you don't want to admit it!" Xiao Chen looked at Zhu Yunwen's eyes full of infinite sympathy.
In good conscience, the man in front of him was far inferior to his uncle in every way, and was at a clear disadvantage in all respects. But he has an advantage that the other side can never look forward to, and that is the will of the people. No matter how the other party quibbles, the fact that it rebelled and rebelled cannot be changed, and it is bound to be spurned by the majority of people in the world.
It's a pity that this only advantage was buried by him in the end. It was because of his too kind character! When he was angry and came to his aid because the heavens could not get used to this scene, the young king hesitated, but could not bear it, so that the great opportunity slipped away in vain.
If you don't stop interrupting, you will suffer! This is the true portrayal of this poor young king!
"But you don't have to feel sorry or unwilling! Perfecting the political system, developing the economy, opening up the territory, and moving the capital to Beijing! This series of astonishing feats finally made the people raise their eyebrows and live a peaceful and happy life that they had not seen for a long time! You must know that in addition to the necessary strength, all these things require extraordinary courage and courage! And if you are you, can you do it? So, your fourth uncle may not be a good person! But he is a good emperor, far more qualified than you!"
"If you stand in the perspective of the people in the world, there is no more suitable person to become the lord of the world than him! And your majestic grandfather is indeed a little selfish when he chooses an heir! If he could abandon that bit of selfishness in his heart and consider it from the perspective of the people of the world, maybe all this could have been avoided!"
"Of course I know, but I can't!" he sighed, "Xiao Chen, do you think I really hate him for taking away my country? No, by no means! Of course I know that he is more suitable to be the lord of the world than me! Although I feel a little unwilling to lose to him, it is not unacceptable! The reason why I hate is why he refused to leave me a way to live after taking away the country, and why did he rush to kill everything?"
"Has he forgotten that I am his own nephew, how can he be so cold-blooded and ruthless?"
"Is that really the case?" Xiao Chen looked at the other party calmly. He knows that this is the saying that the authorities are obsessed!
"There can't be two masters in the country! Don't you still understand such a simple truth? Since your fourth uncle has already seized the throne, in order to block the mouth of the world, you should disappear as soon as possible! Kill them all? If he really wants to do that, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands, do you think you can escape from the palace so easily?"
"That's because I escaped from the secret passage that my grandfather left for me and didn't find out from him. If he knew, I would have died!"
"Regardless of whether that secret passage is really known only to you! Even if your fourth uncle let you escape without knowing it! Then let me ask you, in the next few decades, did your fourth uncle send someone to hunt you down?"
"This" After Xiao Chen said this, Zhu Yunwen was also stunned. Indeed, in the decades that he has fled incognito and bumpy, he has indeed not seen anyone chasing and killing him. I have been living a peaceful life.
"If a person in the world wants to hunt down and kill a person, even if he hides to the ends of the earth, decades of time is enough for him!" Xiao Chen said leisurely, "This is enough to prove that your fourth uncle has not forgotten the family affection between your uncle and nephew! Therefore, you don't have to resent him too much!"
Zhu Yunwen didn't answer, he was pondering! In his conscience, he said that although he felt a little bitter about losing the country, it was not to the point of being in pain! What he hated was that his uncle was going to kill himself completely for the sake of such a splendid country! Could it be that family affection is so vulnerable in the face of power?
This kind of pain has tormented him for nearly a thousand years, but now Xiao Chen's words have shaken his painful and almost numb heart! It turns out that in the heart of his uncle, he still cares about this family affection! Therefore, I shouldn't have any more pain and unwillingness!
A faint smile of relief slowly appeared at the corner of Zhu Yunwen's mouth! At this moment, the huge rock that was pressed in his heart and almost suffocated was finally removed!
Xiao Chen, thank you!
And in another huge hall of Huayang Sect, Shangguan Yunlong and Nangong Yan were chatting happily. In Xiao Chen's eyes, Nangong Sixiaojie, who was always almost messing around and giving people a headache, but in the eyes of Shangguan Yunlong, he became a straightforward, unpretentious, and reckless person.
And in the eyes of Nangong Yan, this person who always laughs at Mimi and is called an old fox by his grandfather is really worthy of his name, but, I like it!
"Nangong granddaughter" Inadvertently, the smile on Shangguan Yunlong's face disappeared. After several hesitations and hesitations, Shangguan Yunlong finally spoke.
"Grandpa Shangguan, if you have something to say, it's okay to talk about it!" Nangong Yan was still smiling like a flower.
"Nangong's granddaughter, the old man has always boasted of being smart, and there is nothing in this world that can hide from my eyes, but it turns out that I am still wrong, and the mistake is outrageous, and the mistake is irreparable. Especially in the shocking secret history of the royal family fifteen years ago, I was so presumptuous. I'm sorry for your grandfather!" The haughty head finally bowed.
The shocking secret history of the royal family fifteen years ago refers to the murder of Nangong, the patriarch of the Nangong family at that time. And Shangguan Yunlong, who was angry with Nangong Meng's rebellious behavior at that time, angrily shot at his former best friend.
However, not long ago, an unintentional conversation with Lord True God made Shangguan Yunlong, who had always prided himself on being extremely smart, realize that his behavior back then was probably too Meng Lang, and there was probably a monstrous inside story hidden in this secret history of the royal family.
"Nangong granddaughter, I hope that after you go back, you will apologize to your grandfather for me!" Shangguan Yunlong said extremely sincerely. Maybe Shangguan Yunlong has a narrow temperament and is extreme, and he pays more attention to retribution. But his heart is also very cherished for many years of friendship.
"Grandpa Shangguan, I will definitely do it!" Nangong Yan nodded heavily. At this time, her heart was also surging, she never expected that she had always been regarded as a forbidden area for speech by the people of Dayan Kingdom, and even more so that her grandfather kept silent about the secret history of the royal family fifteen years ago, which actually had such an amazing secret.
When I go back, I must inform my grandfather of this as soon as possible. Nangong Yan finally made up her mind.
Since he can be called an old fox by Nangong Meng, Shangguan Yunlong's observation power is naturally extraordinary. With just a simple glance, he roughly understood what Nangong Yan was thinking. But Nangong granddaughter, do you think that's all there is to it?
"Nangong granddaughter, if I tell you that Murong Fu, the founding emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, who was known as the Holy Lord of the First Generation in the past, was not necessarily assassinated by your grandfather fifteen years ago, he is likely to still be alive in this world, what do you think?" Shangguan Yunlong said leisurely.
"How is this possible?" Nangong Yan's eyes were about to fall. Compared to the surprise just now, this time, the words that came out of the mouth of Guan Yunlong in his heart could be described as terrifying.
"Nangong granddaughter, don't be so nervous! This is just a guess of mine! Maybe it's not true!" Although he said so, Shangguan Yunlong understood that this speculation was likely to be true. And if his inference is correct, perhaps in the near future, it is likely to set off another storm.
Nangong Yan couldn't stay any longer, she wanted to go back to the Nangong family immediately and tell her grandfather everything she heard. "Nangong granddaughter, don't be nervous! Whether my guess is true or not, no one can tell, but I clearly know that there will always be a day when things will be daylight. And when that day doesn't come, let's wait slowly!"
"Nangong granddaughter, you can come all the way to my Huayang Sect as a guest, grandpa, I feel very happy. I hope you can hover here for a few more days, so that Grandpa and I can do our best to be a landlord! In addition, I will also take this time to prepare a little antidote for you to take back and completely solve the pain that has tormented your grandfather for fifteen years!"
Nangong Yan smiled, smiling extremely comfortably, but in this comfortable smile, he couldn't hide his deep pride!"This, Grandpa Shangguan can rest assured, the residual poison left in my grandfather's body has long been completely removed, and now my grandfather's life is nourishing!"
"Did I hear me right? Is there anyone in this world who can cure the poison that my Shangguan Yunlong has inflicted?" Shangguan Yunlong was shocked. As a well-deserved number one drug user in the world, he has incomparable confidence in his poison skills, and he has never doubted that there will be someone in this world who can cure his poison. But what he never dreamed of was that such an almost impossible thing would actually happen.
"I'd like to know who has that much ability! If I could, I'd like to get acquainted!"
"If Grandpa Shangguan is interested, he can do it now, because he is in Huayang Sect at the moment!" The pride on Nangong Yan's face was even worse.
"Just in Huayang Sect?" Shangguan Yunlong was surprised, but he was worthy of being called an old fox by Nangong Meng, and he came to his senses in an instant.
"Is it the young man named Xiao Chen who came with you?"
"Yes, it's my Xiao Chen!" Nangong Yan nodded heavily. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when she said the word 'mine', her voice couldn't help but be a little high-pitched.
After looking at Nangong Yan with strange eyes, Shangguan Yunlong sighed again, "I finally understand now, why does the True God Lord take that young man named Xiao Chen so seriously!"
