Zhu Di closed his eyes, waiting for the furious scolding from Zhu Yuanzhang.

He has only been afraid of one person in his life, that is his own father, and every time he is in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is terrified, like a child who has done something wrong.

Everyone has a weak side, and Zhu Di is no exception.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is the arrogant and domineering King Yan and the majestic Emperor His Majesty, but in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is only the fourth child of the Zhu family.

However, what Zhu Di was waiting for was not Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, but a warm hug, which gave his long-tired body a long-lost comfort, as if embracing the sun.

"Fourth, I've hurt you." Zhu Yuanzhang said softly, "Dad has seen it in his eyes, you have done everything you can, and you have done your best." ”

The corners of Zhu Di's old eyes were slightly moist, and his heart, which had been cold for many years, was melted at this moment, and he choked up and said, "Dad, I'm not bitter." ”

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth rose, with a kind smile, and his body gradually became illusory.

……

"Daddy!"

Zhu Di suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath, he hurriedly looked around, but he didn't see the familiar figure, only the empty Qianqing Palace, this brilliant and cold palace.

On his pillow side, there was a saber that he hadn't found before.

"Your Majesty!"

The great eunuch Tang Cheng and the guard general Fan Zhong hurriedly rushed into the hall, and at a glance they saw His Majesty the Emperor who looked a little wrong.

"What about Emperor Taizu?" Zhu Di asked, "Which of you saw my father?" ”

What's that?

Your father, Emperor Taizu Gao?

Zhu Yuanzhang?

How many years have this been dead!

Tang Cheng and Fan Zhong glanced at each other, and they both felt a little ridiculous, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor was sick again.

"Quick! Look for! My father is here, and Emperor Taizu was talking to me just now! Zhu Di's eyes were densely bloodshot.

This also made the great eunuch and the guard general a little helpless, where are we going to find you a Taizu Emperor!

Throw Zhu Yuanzhang's bones out of the filial piety tomb? That's not good, after dying for so many years, it is estimated that there will be only a handful of bones left!

"Long live the lord, it should have been Taizu who gave you a dream just now, right?" Tang Cheng asked with some uncertainty.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Zhu Di's spirit was a little trance-like, "How can it be a dream, my father was still holding me just now, when I talked to him about King Qi, he was still smiling at me, so real, how can it be a dream?" ”

Tang Cheng was a little helpless: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu's dragon returns to the nine heavens, and the heavenly strip doesn't say that you can still go down to visit relatives in this situation, or ...... Do you have time to go to the Imperial Mausoleum and ask? ”

Zhu Di rubbed his sore eyebrows, and for a while he couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or in reality.

"Fan Zhong, you step down and let Tang Cheng stay and talk to me for a while." Zhu Di's voice was a little hoarse.

Fan Zhong clenched his fists: "No! ”

……

Zhu Di sat on the couch, took a sip of the tea handed by Tang Cheng, and slowed down for a long time before he came to his senses.

"I dreamed of Emperor Taizu just now, and he scolded me for being bloody, saying that after I passed the throne to the crown prince, how unbearable the emperor was with the prince's lineage." Zhu Di said in a deep voice.

Tang Cheng comforted: "Long live Lord, dreams come in reverse, Emperor Taizu is giving you a tofu." ”

"Whether it's a dream or reality, I know in my heart."

Zhu Di suddenly looked at Tang Cheng, his eyes were as fierce as a tiger and wolf, "Tang Cheng, you give me a thorough explanation, I want to make King Qi the prince, what do you think?" ”

The emperor wants to abolish the crown prince and establish King Qi, but now it is no secret in the capital, and everyone is doubtful and discussing.

The crown prince and grandson were imprisoned in the East Palace for several months, and there was no intention of release, and the people in the East Palace withered one after another in the court, while the Qi Wang Party was unscathed, isn't this a precursor to the establishment of King Qi!

Tang Cheng hesitated for a moment, he really didn't want to answer the emperor's question.

Since ancient times, most of the people who wanted to intervene in the abolition of the prince in the prosperous era did not end well, and there were even many people who were affected by the fish pond because the emperor wanted to abolish the prince.

For example, the general of Lanyu of Liangguo in the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, showed off his power when he was alive, and as soon as Zhu Biao died, the ashes of Lanyu were raised by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The cabinet chief assistant of the current dynasty Xie Jin was too deep in the matter of establishing the crown prince, and he is still locked up in Zhao Prison.

As the so-called companion is like a tiger, Tang Chengneng has been based in the deep palace for many years and has been reused by the emperor, in addition to his high emotional intelligence, it is more because he has never participated in the party struggle for the heir, so he can be alone.

And now Zhu Di's question is too straightforward, it is the topic that Tang Cheng is most afraid of, and if he says the wrong word, he may be doomed!

Tang Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "The slave is ignorant and doesn't dare to talk nonsense. But Your Majesty Shengming, abolish the crown prince, change who to abolition, who to change, this country is also, except for Your Majesty, no one is qualified to say, if anyone speaks out, it must be a private evil intention, should be beheaded! ”

Seeing Tang Cheng kick the ball back to himself, Zhu Di said a little impatiently: "I let you say, and you will say that I forgive you for your innocence." ”

The emperor's patience has been exhausted, and it will not be fun to play Tai Chi like this and force Zhu Di to be anxious.

Tang Cheng knew that he had no way out, so he was ruthless in his heart, so he simply didn't care about anything and said frankly: "Your Majesty asked, the slave didn't dare not say it, and the minister only said one sentence, about heroism, on power and strategy, on people's hearts, looking at today's Ming Dynasty, who can compare with King Qi?" ”

"In terms of heroism, the King of Han, who was highly expected by the military before, can compare to the King of Qi?"

"In terms of power and strategy, can King Zhao, who is outstanding in scheming, compare to King Qi?"

"On people's hearts, how can the prince who has lost power compare with King Qi?"

"If Your Majesty wants to find the king of Shoucheng to succeed to the throne, the slave and maid dare not talk nonsense, because whether it is the prince or the king of Qi, they are both the king of Shoucheng. But if His Majesty wants the Ming Dynasty to expand its territory and make contributions in the future, the prince is far inferior to King Qi! ”

"The prince's family is deeply supported by Wenchen, but how can Wenchen win the world? On the contrary, King Qi can control the military generals, such a magnificent foundation, this is the heroic atmosphere! ”

What Tang Cheng said has blown King Qi to the sky, if Zhu Di wants to ask for guilt with this, Tang Cheng has nothing to say, he just seeks truth from facts, this is the truth that Zhu Di forced him to say.

After listening to this, Zhu Di fell into deep thought.

Tang Cheng saw His Majesty the Emperor's attitude, at least he didn't see an angry look, and his heart was much more relieved.

After saying these words, Tang Cheng was ready to be eaten by his family.

But now it seems that Zhu Di did not thunder and anger at the first time, which means that what he said is not a big deal.

"Tang Cheng."

Hearing the emperor's voice, Tang Cheng bowed his head respectfully: "The slave is here, what do you command?" ”

Zhu Di looked at Tang Cheng with complicated eyes: "You're right, I'm old, Daming needs a young backbone, King Qi is the most suitable person." ”

Tang Cheng's heart was shocked, the emperor's words have already set the prince, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be an announcement in the court to abolish the crown prince and replace the king of Qi.

He recalled that more than ten years ago, in the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping City, the gentle young man under the tree who looked weak and weakened, his soft black hair half-hid his warm peach blossom eyes, and when he smiled, it was like the warmest beam of light in spring.

That tame boy has now grown into the prince of the empire, unruly and monopolistic!

That young man, named King Qi!

……

"Kill!"

On the pale Beiguan wasteland, Zhu Gaoxian was wearing dark armor, pulling the cold reins in his left hand, holding the obstacle knife in his right hand, and in a roar like the anger of the dragon, he led the tiger, leopard and wolf behind him to ride and rushed to the camp of the Haixi Jurchen coalition army!

The soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were so imposing that they couldn't help but roar loudly, the last prince who took the lead was Zhu Di, the king of Yan thirteen years ago!

Looking at the radiant young general, all the soldiers of the Ming army seemed to be looking at the gods!

Look!

This is our Prince of the Ming Dynasty!

Spirited, brave and good at fighting!

How can the royal relatives and nobles who can't stand the bitter cold outside the greenhouse compare to the heavenly nobles who roar on the battlefield!

The Jurchens were taken aback by this menacing Ming army, and thought that this was a demon crawling out of the underworld in front of them, but they were fighting in their hearts from afar.

"Don't be afraid! The Ming army is all paper tigers, and they are also called howling, listen to my orders, and kill these Ming troops! ”

The Jurchen generals realized that something was wrong, how could they coax before the fight started, and hurriedly yelled to boost morale.

"Yes, the Ming army is a paper tiger, don't be afraid! Come on! Chong, rush...... I'll withdraw ...... first."

Seeing the Ming army getting closer and closer, some Jurchens were already numb, and turning the horse's head was running.

Once a person escapes, it will trigger a large-scale rout, and the Jurchen generals were shocked to find that before this official collision, their own army had already begun to charge in the opposite direction!

Fuck you, how are you going to fight!

"Surrender! Surrender! ”

The Jurchen generals had a strong desire to survive and directly took the lead in the rebellion.

As long as the mutiny is fast enough, I will not be a defeated, but a hero!
