Chapter 374: Let go of shame
Zhu Zhanyan suddenly laughed, laughing so much that Zhu Sanfeng was inexplicable.
said that he would ask the question, but halfway through the question, Zhu Zhanyan laughed.
Did you figure it out, or did you go crazy?
"Well said!" Zhu Zhanyan patted Zhu Sanfeng's shoulder very hard, and left happily with a happy face.
On the huge city wall, only Zhu Sanfeng was left alone in the wind.
Back at the Junbao Palace, Zhu Zhanqi's confusion in the past was swept away, and it was replaced by a clear one.
He found out that he had gotten the horns of the bull.
From the moment he stood up in the seventh year of Yongle, from the moment he left Beijing with everyone on his back that year, and even from the moment he was born, in fact, his end was already doomed.
Of course, the doomed ending is not a broad ending, but a partial ending.
Killing foreign enemies, eliminating profiteers and corrupt officials, coupled with the massacre of the city by the Japanese state and the arson of Dayue, Zhu Zhanyu's reputation is destined to be a mess.
And he has always wanted to leave room for him, but he didn't know that his room had already been lost for him.
Regardless of whether he is a corrupt Confucian or a ram ruling the world in the future, in the history books, he Zhu Zhanyan is destined to leave a reputation for murder.
Anyway, the result is already doomed, what else is he hesitating about?
Therefore, after figuring it out, he asked Zhu Ling to bring someone over as soon as possible.
Zhu Gaosui.
That's right, it is the former King of Zhao of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanyi's third uncle, Zhu Gaosui.
In fact, Zhu Gaosui has been coming to Junbao for a long time, and he came with Zheng He.
At the beginning, Second Sister Shi wanted to have a relationship with Zhu Zhan, but her uncompetitive brother ran to Australia, where Zhu Gaosui was exiled, and picked Zhu Gaosui away.
In this era, there is no such thing as one person doing things alone, especially in front of people of Zhu Zhan's height, if one person is not good, it is really a joy for the nine clans.
Zhu Gaosui's crime is rebellion, and Shi Jisun took Zhu Gaosui away, no matter what the facts are, it is already the same crime.
Zhu Gaosui didn't die because he was a member of the Zhu royal family, but the Shi family was not.
Therefore, after the second sister Shi returned to the Old Port Propaganda Division, she sent someone to Bo Niguo to arrest her younger brother as soon as possible, and Zhu Gaosui was arrested along with him.
But in how to deal with Zhu Gaosui and Shi Jisun, Second Sister Shi made a difficulty.
Looking at the increasingly busy Strait of Malacca, Second Sister Shi has gradually learned the importance of this place, and at the same time, she also knows that Zhu Zhanyan will replace her sooner or later.
This kind of important place is not an outsider, but also a family that has moved to the Old Port for a long time, and can be regarded as an indigenous family in charge.
I have to say that Second Sister Shi is still very smart, she knows that Zhu Zhanyan is very likely to take this opportunity to remove the Shi family, or even let the Shi family disappear, so she chose to take a detour.
Zhu Gaosui is a person, she can't send him to Xiangzhou Mansion, because Zhu Zhanqi doesn't have such a big right, and she can't send it to Shuntian, in that case, it's not just a business, but she is still avoiding Zhu Zhanqi.
Therefore, she sent someone to escort Zhu Gaosui, went to the Suez area with the supply fleet, and handed it over to Mu Sheng, who in turn sent someone to send him to Junbao with Zheng He's fleet.
As for the fact that Second Sister Shi didn't come......
It's also very simple, originally she, the consolation envoy, couldn't just leave the Old Port Consolation Division, and after such a big change, it was even more impossible for her to leave.
Of course, this is just a superficial excuse, but it is actually the time that Second Sister Shi bought herself.
She needs to ask Zhu Zhanyan to pardon herself within this time, if she can't do it, then she has to quickly pack up her things and run away.
Second Sister Shi's thoughts are not difficult to guess, but Zhu Zhanyan didn't care too much, because apart from his third uncle Zhu Gaosui, the Shi family is nothing to him.
For Zhu Zhanyan, the most important thing is his third uncle.
"Third uncle, have you thought about your ending?"
Seeing that Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping brought their third uncle in, Zhu Zhanyan asked calmly.
"I've thought about it a long time ago." Zhu Gaosui had a mocking smile on his face.
"But what if you think about it?"
"Now that you've thought about it, it's time for you to hit the road."
……
Zhu Zhanyan's understatement made the atmosphere fall into a dead silence.
Except for Zhu Zhanyan, neither Zhu Gaosui nor Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping reacted.
In fact, people will subconsciously speculate, just like today Zhu Zhanyan asked someone to bring his third uncle over, everyone knows that they are going to decide how to deal with Zhu Gaosui, and everyone is also speculating about how Zhu Zhanyan will deal with Zhu Gaosui.
But everyone, including Zhu Gaosui himself, didn't expect his nephew to say this.
On the road, if you still go to the Exiled Lands, then you don't need to go on a special note, unless it's just for humiliation.
However, Zhu Zhanyan did not humiliate him, but went straight to the point.
Obviously, he really wanted to send him on his way.
"Huh......" Zhu Gaosui let out a long sigh of relief, and the whole person calmed down.
Seemingly, this result did not come as a surprise to him.
"It's rare that you've finally broken through yourself, but for now, it's a good way to get rid of the difficulties, but in the long run, you're jumping off the wall."
"You should know that even if it is a person like your grandfather, after the martyrdom, he will pay attention to hiding there and there, for fear that his reputation will be stained again."
"Because he knows that if he does a good job and cures an unprecedented prosperous world, people will not criticize him, at least not only him."
"Just as he said: Even if the children and grandchildren of future generations are not ashamed of me, they must leave three points of respect."
"But what about you?"
Speaking of this, a mocking smile appeared on Zhu Gaosui's face.
"Yes! Your Zhu Zhan's military exploits have never been seen in ancient times, and in terms of opening up territory and expanding territory, the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are not as good as you. ”
"However, if you kill me today, and he will sit on the throne one day, there will be a stain on the history books that cannot be erased."
"Are you ready to be criticized by future generations of children and grandchildren?"
"So what?" In the face of his third uncle's ridicule, which may also be a radical method, Zhu Zhanyan behaved quite calmly.
"My nephew's reputation was actually ruined as early as when the grassland was built in Beijing, when the Dayue Kingdom was burned, and when the city was slaughtered."
"Although I promoted the study of the ram to become the official science of the Ming Dynasty, so that the ideas of great unification and great revenge were widely accepted by the people, it still did not change the things I did to be recorded in the history books."
"No matter how much I polish it, the result won't change."
"It's like my father said to my grandfather back then, even if he cultivated the Yongle Canon into the first strange book in ancient and modern times, no one would say that he inherited the throne."
"I'm ...... too"
"Even if I take down all the land under the world, no one will say that our King Wu lineage is inherited from the throne, and no one will say that I have not slaughtered prisoners, even civilians."
"If you can't change it, why do you want to do useless work?"
"What's more, at least no one dared to gossip about me before I died, and I couldn't hear what they said after I died, even if I was reincarnated, I would have no memory of this life."
"Why care?"
……
Zhu Gaosui stood in place, looking at his good nephew in a daze, and couldn't say a word for a while.
He knew that what he had always relied on was gone......
The reason why he dared to follow Shi Jisun to leave the exiled land of Australia was because of his identity as a member of the Zhu royal family, relying on the fact that he was Zhu Gaoxu's younger brother and Zhu Zhanyu's uncle.
Blood cannibalism, no matter what height you have reached, in the culture inherited from the Central Plains, this is something that cannot be touched.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanyan figured it out......
The person who danced on the tip of the knife still lost his foot after all, and this mistake, the tip of the knife cut not the soles of his feet, but his throat.
"Very good......"
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Gaosui spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.
"Actually, I know that in our Yan King's lineage, at least until now, no one is better than you."
"It's just that everyone knows that you can't be the emperor, so Zhan Ji and I are unscrupulous and don't have any worries, because everyone knows that you won't kill you."
"It's okay now......"
With a light sigh, Zhu Gaosui turned around, and his figure was a little rickety.
It was not the years that made him bend over, but his confidence, his dependence, was taken away by Zhu Zhanyan.
"It's a good thing to figure it out......"
"At the very least, nothing will stop you in the future......"
"Surpassing your grandfather is not your end, and surpassing Emperor Taizu Gao is not ......"
"In the future, no one will be able to draw an end point for your future, even if it is only a speculative ......"
Watching Zhu Gaosui walk out of the door, Zhu Ling wanted to speak again and again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up and kept up with Zhu Gaosui's pace.
He was just a guard, even if he felt that Zhu Zhanyan's blood relatives were inappropriate, he still couldn't say anything.
He didn't have that qualification.
……
Three days later.
Outside Junbao, on the cliff wall by the sea, a tomb stands alone.
Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head and stood in front of the tombstone.
In the end, Zhu Zhanyan still gave his third uncle a dignity, just like the historical Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu said.
The people of the Zhu family are still bloody.
Zhu Gaosui's last three days were spent in the battle, and the final outcome was also killed in battle, which was caused by him taking the lead and rushing to the front.
Perhaps, it can't be said that he died in battle, but that he was bent on dying.
After all, for Zhu Zhanyi, killing his third uncle is an indelible stain, and for Zhu Gaosui, being killed by his nephew is also a shame.
took the wine jar from Zhu Ling's hand on the side, patted the mud seal, and turned the wine jar over.
The wine flowed to the ground, splashing the hem of Zhu Zhanyan's clothes and shoes, but he didn't realize it.
When the last drop of wine fell to the ground, Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and sighed deeply.
With the sound of the wine jar cracking, Zhu Zhanyan turned to leave.
The strong wind on the strait blew the clothes and hunted, and it also blew Zhu Zhanyan a little confused.
On the strait, the lonely tomb, which can be regarded as a decent stone monument, stands quietly in the wind.
In the future, with Zhu Zhan's northern expedition, no one may care about this place, and no one will come to worship, only the name on the stele tells who the owner of this lonely tomb is.
