Zhu Zhan basically struggled weakly, and slowly stopped after Zhu Zhan opened his mouth.

But it wasn't that he had remorse, on the contrary, he stared at Zhu Zhanyan deadly, as if he wasn't staring at his cousin, not the hero who laid the foundation for the Ming Dynasty......

It's a mortal enemy who can't wait to eat its flesh and drink its blood.

"Huh...... Hehe......" Zhu Zhanji relaxed his body and lay on the ground completely, because Zhu Zhanji stepped on the foot on his chest, he had to open his mouth and breathe hard.

"What do you know? You don't know anything......"

"Obviously, I am the eldest grandson of the emperor, but grandpa has moved the idea of Yi Chu more than once, and even the position of the eldest grandson of the emperor, he wants to replace the prince with ......"

"Why? What am I doing wrong? What did my dad do wrong again? ”

"You know what? You are the son of the King of Han! Destined to be a vassal king! In this life, you can only be a vassal king! Why are you trying so hard!? Why!? ”

"Did you know? It's because of you! My grandfather, who used to dot on me the most, didn't even bother to look at me anymore! All he's thinking about is you! Even if you go, you'll be in vain! ”

"Hehe......" Zhu Zhanyan smiled coldly when he heard this, stood up, and retracted the foot that stepped on his cousin's chest.

Raising his head and looking straight at the spiritual position above, the sneer on Zhu Zhanyan's face quickly turned into disappointment.

"Is that your reason? But when you face a better enemy, why don't you think of trying harder to catch up with him, but choose incompetent rage and hate? ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned when he heard this, and his movements to get up stalled.

"A good saint grandson, can protect the prosperity of the three generations of the Ming Dynasty......"

"Do you think this sentence was said by Xie Jin? Xie Jin, that kind of person, others don't know, don't you know? ”

"He's a princeling, yes, but he's also the one who knows the wind and the rudder, do you think he would say that kind of thing if he wasn't backed up enough to support him?"

"Besides, just a solution, just a sentence, do you think grandpa will change what he decides?"

Zhu Zhanji listened to his cousin's words, and a frightened expression appeared on his face, as if he had seen something that he couldn't look at directly.

"Nope! No way! ”

Zhu Zhanji sat up abruptly and stared at Zhu Zhanji with tears in his eyes.

"You're talking nonsense! Sling the bull! ”

"Heh......" The expression on Zhu Zhanyan's face changed to a sneer again.

Squatting down and looking at his cousin who was unwilling to face the facts, Zhu Zhanyan didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.

"Nonsense? Why am I talking nonsense? Is this any good for me? ”

"If I didn't say it, I could still find countless excuses when I started the army, but if I say it at this moment, it is tantamount to telling you that grandpa's original choice was very firm, and there is no room for turnaround."

"At this time, if I raise troops again, it will become a rebellion, not a rebellion, and it will be difficult to clear the king."

"I don't believe it!" Zhu Zhanji slammed his cousin away, and the expression on his face was infinitely close to distorting.

If so, why did he leave such a testament!? Do you dare to say that the edict was not drafted by him himself!? ”

"Don't think I don't know! At that time, the edict was not only drafted by him himself! It's still up to Natsuhara Yoshichi to ghostwrite! ”

Xia Yuanji, in Yingtian, this name has become synonymous with King Wu, and everyone knows that Xia Yuanji is standing in King Wu's camp.

Even if it wasn't, he would almost unconditionally support any proposal and action of the Wu Wang line, any!

Even, whenever Xia Yuanji gave advice, people's first reaction was that this was King Wu's line of writing through Xia Yuanji, wanting to change the situation in the court.

"Alas......" Zhu Zhanyan sighed lightly and turned his head to look at the spiritual position above.

"Old man, this is the heir you carefully chosen, abandoned me, and finally chosen."

"At the beginning, you told the old monk that it is not a good thing to have two dragons at one time, but fortunately, one is happy and quiet, and the other is happy."

"One governs the country and the country, and the other goes out to fight."

"And say that this is a sign of a great prosperity, hehe...... The result? ”

"Xing, it's true, but what? What does it have to do with this heir you have chosen, and your good saint grandson? ”

Zhu Zhanji's voice was not high, but in this Qi'en Palace, which was so quiet that it could be heard by a needle, Zhu Zhanji could hear it clearly.

He stared at his cousin with a look of anticipation on his face.

He expected his cousin to say something that would make him feel comfortable, instead of making him feel frightened, guilty, or uneasy...... and other emotions of all kinds.

However, the more you are in this mood, the last thing you want to hear.

"There's one thing you should know." Zhu Zhanyan still looked at the old man's spiritual position and did not turn his head.

"At the beginning, my grandfather gave me two edicts for me to choose, one is the prince's edict on enthronement, and the other is the edict of abolishing the long and young and easy to store."

"To be honest, I really wanted to take that Yi Chu edict at the beginning, not how persistent I was in that position, because I knew that people like me would never be able to sit in that position in my life."

"Even if I am forced to sit down, what awaits me is either the verbal and written criticism of the world's scholars, the impatience of the world's vassal kings, and the joint alliance of the Ming Dynasty's foreign enemies."

"Either that, or I'm stuck in that position, spending my life in an environment that seems to be supreme, but everyone criticizes and even scorns."

"My life shouldn't be like this, because I'm special and different from you."

"I can do what you can do, and even better than you."

"What kind of bullshit civil official, although I am the son of the King of Han, didn't I put forward the methods of taking the test, making up for it at the right time, and spreading the money into the mu? Which one is not a game-changer? ”

"But what I can do, you can't."

"Not to mention that since the beginning of the Qin and Han dynasties, even if it is counted from ancient times, I think that I, Zhu Zhanyan, am not weaker than anyone!"

"What about Temujin? I hit where he hit, but he didn't hit where I hit! ”

"But what about you?" Zhu Zhanyan turned his head and looked at his cousin with a little pity and unwillingness.

"Are you better than me? It's just the identity of an eldest son and an eldest grandson, why can you inherit that position in a grand manner? ”

"I didn't want to take the throne, but the world is unfair, so unfair that I want to fight it."

"But why? Why is it that in the end, when he is dying, the emotions in his old man's eyes are pitiful, but hopeful, but ...... Pray for ......"

Zhu Zhanyan took a deep breath, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground very solemnly, and knelt three times and nine times in front of the old man's spiritual seat above.

"Old man, ...... today I'm going to disappoint you......"

His eyes were slightly closed, Zhu Zhanyan raised his head, straightened his chest, and knelt there quietly.

Zhu Zhanji looked at his cousin, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't say what this feeling was.

Is he going to raise troops and push himself off the throne?

No!

Zhu Zhanji shook his head violently, denying his own thoughts.

30,000, but 30,000, even if Danba Wangdui came and brought the more than 70,000 soldiers of the Wusi Zangdu Division, it would only be 100,000.

100,000, there is a way...... There is a way......

There are more than 70,000 soldiers left in the five military camps in Beijing, they were directly subordinate to the Chinese army before, and they are not under the direct jurisdiction of anyone.

Right! Five military camps are credible! But it's only 70,000......

70,000 ...... 70,000 is not enough...... This cousin of his own has been fighting continuously for more than ten years since the eighth year of Yongle, not only has rich combat experience, but the soldiers under his command are also the division of tigers and wolves......

70,000 is not enough...... Inadequate......

That's right! There is also a reserve army! Shandong's reserve army is still there! And the border army! Border troops can too!

Daning, Kaiping two guards! There are people inside the Great Wall! Although it takes time to mobilize, as long as you don't die, you still have a chance!

Right! Right! Right!

He didn't dare kill me! Don't dare to kill me! Kill me, he's a rebellion! Rebellion is not enough to sit on the throne!

Can't sit down......

！！！

Just when Zhu Zhanji was still thinking wildly, a warm feeling came to his face, and he raised his head in a daze and looked at the person in front of him...... and corpses......

Sun Shaozong...... The second brother-in-law he had never met...... He's dead...... And just died...... In the Temple of Grace...... Before the old man's spiritual seat...... Killed......

Zhu Zhanji looked at his cousin who was holding a saber and slowly getting up, and the expression on his face was all sluggish.

Tick...... Tick...... Tick......

The saber in Zhu Zhan's hand was dripping with blood, which should have been an imperceptible sound, but it was so harsh in this silent Qi'en Palace.

Danba Wangdui looked at the empty scabbard on his waist, and then at the saber in the hand of His Royal Highness the Prince, and took a step back quietly.

And Zhang Sheng, who was beside him, sighed deeply.

As Zhu Zhanji's own uncle, he very much hopes that Zhu Zhanji can repent, because as long as Zhu Zhanji can repent, then everything can still be saved, and he will spare no effort to help his own nephew.

But......

The so-called mud can't support the wall, he doesn't know where the good saint grandson who was praised by the world, has a surprising appearance and pure talent.

Lifting the hem of his clothes, Zhang Sheng slowly knelt on the ground, not only kneeling to Zhu Zhanyan, but also kneeling to the lonely spiritual seat above.

Only, he is not kneeling to Zhu Zhanji, the emperor.

However.

When the ......

A crisp voice sounded, Zhang Sheng raised his head violently, and looked at Zhu Zhanyan with a face full of incredulity.

With full disappointment, Zhu Zhanyan slowly knelt on the ground and knelt three times and bowed to the old man's spiritual seat again.

Get up and leave.

Danba Wangdui took a deep look at Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting on the ground, and turned around and followed Zhu Zhanji away.

Out of the Qi'en Palace, Zhu Zhanyan slowly raised his head, feeling the glare of the sun, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight.

The prince's guards and Teng Xiang's four guards who were guarding outside the Qi'en Hall all subconsciously turned their heads to look after hearing the sound of the door opening, but when they saw Zhu Zhanyan...... and Zhu Zhanyan's pure white filial piety clothes, a little red back......

Teng Xiao's first reaction was to draw their knives and burst out, wanting to rush into the Qi'en Palace, but the reaction of the prince's guards was much faster than them.

However, although the reaction of the prince's guards was quick and experienced, after all, they were Teng Xiang's four guards, the emperor's personal guards, and their personal guards, and if they were average, they would not be able to bear such a heavy responsibility.

However, the conflict that seemed inevitable did not take place, because of the arrival of one person, all on their knees.

Under the Qi En Gate, a figure slowly walked up, and only she could calm down the situation.

Zhu Zhanyan withdrew his hand blocking the sunlight and quietly looked at the figure in the distance until the figure stopped in front of him.

"Auntie......" Zhu Zhanyan spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Thank you......" Zhang's eyes, who are now the queen mother, were filled with tears, her hands arched in front of her, and she slowly bowed down, and actually knelt down.

"Auntie! Great Auntie! ”

Zhu Zhanyan knelt on the ground in a panic, holding Zhang's forearm with both hands.

"No, no......"

"No, you deserve ......" Zhang slowly lowered his head, his resolute intention could be seen, and he actually gave Zhu Zhanyan a salute under such circumstances.

Zhu Zhanyan sighed softly, slowly withdrew his hands, looked at his eldest aunt, the current queen mother, and solemnly saluted himself.

Zhu Zhanyan bowed his head slightly, arched his hands in front of his chest, slowly knocked on the ground, and bowed.

Helping Zhang up, Zhu Zhanyan bowed slightly to him to apologize, and then took two steps back slightly to show respect, and finally moved to the side, walking in the direction of Qi'en Gate at the most marginal position.

For his eldest aunt, the current queen mother of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanyan admires and respects her.

There are not many people who Zhu Zhanyan admires, and even fewer who respect them, maybe the entire Shuntian Mansion is still there, and if you count those who have left, there may only be three people who can make Zhu Zhanyan admire and respect.

It's a pity that among the three people, the eldest aunt herself is now left.

Zhu Zhanyan sighed deeply, raised his head, and looked at the south.

Although Shuntianfu is in the south of Tianshou Mountain, it is a hundred miles away, and Zhu Zhanyan did not see the city he wanted to see.

However, it doesn't matter if you can't see it, it doesn't prevent you from changing him.

"Zhu Ping."

Zhu Zhanyan spoke softly, and Zhu Ping, who had followed Zhu Zhanyan as early as when he left the Grace Palace, walked up quickly.

"Go ahead, as planned."

"Yes!"

A healthy horse carries a person, some facing south, some facing southeast, and some facing east......

Like, scattered into a sky full of stars.

Inside the Temple of Grace.

Zhang sat down lightly on the futon and slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his son's cheek.

However, Zhu Zhanji, who was still outside the world, was startled when he noticed that someone had touched him, and he withdrew hand and foot together, and went far, far away......
