Zhu Gaoxian said unhurriedly, "Second brother, have you heard of the Ottoman Empire? Well...... The Ottomans are also known as the country of Lumi."

King Han frowned slightly, and said, "I've heard that a country on the other side of the West, hmph, even the people dare to call themselves emperors, if I become the emperor, I will definitely send troops to the west to crush all these clowns!"

Zhu Gaoxian didn't mind King Han's bragging, but continued to ask, "Second brother, do you know how this Lulin Kingdom chooses its monarch?"

King Han shook his head: "I don't know, I'm not interested in those small countries in the West."

Zhu Gaoxian chuckled: "Lu Linguo, it's not a small country, second brother."

The Ottomans were originally a small Turkic tribe that first settled in Central Asia and moved to Asia Minor, where they flourished. After the Ottoman Empire destroyed the Byzantine Empire, its capital was Constantinople, and it regarded itself as the heir of the Eastern Roman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire was the only Central Asian power that could challenge European countries from the 15th to the 19th centuries, and the Han King did not know the history of Europe, but Zhu Gaoxian did, and he knew what a behemoth the Ottoman Empire was.

King Han was a little impatient when he heard this: "You have something to say, why do you need to go around so many bends."

Zhu Gaoxian said: "The monarchs of the Ottoman Empire, called "sultans", they are hereditary like our Central Plains, and the prince inherits the throne. But unlike us Central Plains people, the Ottomans were neither primogeniture nor sister-in-law succession. The Ottomans inherited the throne in an open way, with princes competing with each other, known as the "Law of Succession by Killing Each Other."

"Roughly speaking, the old Ottoman Sultan will give each prince a piece of land, and when the prince arrives in the place, he will serve as the military and political chief, learn the art of governing the country, compete openly, win the superiority and the inferior, and the strong will ascend to the throne, and when the old Sultan dies, when the prince returns to the capital first and gets the support of everyone, he will become the new sultan, that is, the king of the Ottoman country. In order to compete for the throne of the king, the princes will do whatever it takes, whether they meet each other with swords or destroy their lives."

When the king of Han heard that Osman was not the primogeniture, his eyes lit up at first, but then he darkened.

He hated this *** primogeniture system, so that he was always suppressed by Zhu Gaochi, but even if it was not the primogeniture system, then he couldn't fight King Qi. If the Ming Dynasty was not the primogeniture system, there would be only two people who benefited the most, one was Zhu Di, the king of Yan after the death of Prince Yiwen, and the other was Zhu Gaoxian, the king of Qi.

King Han said coldly: "The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, rummaging through the past and the present is nothing more than the four words "striving to be the emperor", you say it, just talk nonsense, don't we Central Plains people have similar rules. As you said, our Ming Dynasty implemented the system of primogeniture, but what kind of eldest son is the old man? It's nothing more than defeating other competitors and grabbing it with your own hands, and today, King Zhao's soft egg is wasted, the boss has lost the position of crown prince, and now you have defeated me again, you are not the eldest son, but you have still become the first heir to the throne."

"No, the Ottomans are not like us."

Zhu Gaoxian said calmly, "The first thing the new Ottoman king did after he ascended the throne was to kill all his brothers and nephews, including babies in swaddling clothes, and even pregnant women. Cutting the grass does not eradicate the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again, there is no peace prince to speak of in the Ottomans, either he will become a monarch or become a corpse, everyone is desperately trying to kill their own brothers one by one, they have no choice."

King Han was terrified when he heard this, he thought that his methods were cruel and ruthless enough, but what he didn't expect was that there was such a law of inheritance in the West that made him feel cruel when he heard it.

It's like raising Gu, and the last surviving Gu will step on the corpses of other Gu and enjoy the scenery from the heights. It's just that the Ottoman monarch is not stepping on Gu, but a brother who is connected to his blood.

Under this cruel and bloody law of involution, the princes of the Ottoman went crazy to involution, killing their brothers as if they were playing, and the most powerful person inherited the throne.

Its rise and fall were also sudden, but the Ottomans did not agree with this statement.

Ottoman Empire,

In the past 600 years, the territory has spanned Asia, Europe and Africa, and it is proud.

The involution empire is worthy of its name.

Zhu Gaoxian said surgingly, "Second brother, I won't kill you, not because I don't dare, but because I don't want to do it. Kill you, even if people say that I am a brutal who killed my own brother, I don't care, what about the infamy of the ages, I will not hear this in my eternal sleep."

"I don't want to kill you, although you hate me to the core, I still won't kill you, and the old man won't kill you, even if you rebelled against him. Because you and I are brothers, because you and the old man are father and son, this world is more like a cage for us, the prisoners in the cage fight each other, and the person who survives in the end must be so lonely, even if he survives, he is still a prisoner in the cage, nothing has changed."

King Han's eyes were complicated: "It's cold in the high places, I thought you understood this truth, but I never thought that you would be so naïve, even ...... Stupid."

……

King Han said in a deep voice: "You'd better kill me now, as long as I'm alive, I won't be at ease to fight for that position, even if I die, my children and grandchildren will try to take that seat." Fourth, when did you become so indecisive, you remember, you are the King of Qi, the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! To be the emperor, you have to be crueler than anyone else, more suspicious than anyone else, more ruthless than anyone else, take your knife and kill me!"

Zhu Gaoxian closed his eyes lightly and sighed, "Second brother, why bother, although there are many grievances between you and me, I never thought of killing you."

King Han said, "As you said about the law of killing, sin will never disappear, cutting grass will not eradicate the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again, sin will be passed down from generation to generation, and cause and effect will only become thicker with time. Fourth, even if your second brother and I live, it will only be the second half of my life of shame, if you still treat me as your second brother, do my brother a favor, don't let my brother suffer again, give me a good time."

Zhu Gaoxian put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, he has always been decisive and aggressive, but now he has not been able to draw the knife.

Born in the royal family, how unfortunate, cannibalistic fate, no one can escape.

He knew that King Han was begging for death.

How could a person like King Han endure the shame of being imprisoned after the defeat of the army, such a subsistence was undoubtedly the most torturous torture for King Han.

……

[Whether or not to confirm the smelting of "Zhu Gaoxu", after smelting, "Zhu Gaoxu's life" can no longer be simulated.] 】

Zhu Di rubbed his hands and chose "confirm".

This rebel, what is the use of me keeping you!

Lao Tzu worked hard to raise you, and you ran away to be a thief?

[After smelting, a random identity simulation fragment of "Zhu Zhan Yan" has been smelted*1.] 】

Zhu Zhan...... ?

Isn't this the son of King Qi, my grandson?

Zhu Di was a little surprised, but a little excited, although he couldn't simulate the complete life of King Qi, but he can now live the life of King Qi's son!

[Select simulation, Zhu Zhanyan's random identity ......]

[Selected.] 】

[Simulation object: Zhu Zhanqi.] 】

[Identity: Prince.] 】

[Time period, 30 years of Hengjing, November.] 】

Zhu Di's expression was a little exciting, at this time period, King Qi, no, it was Emperor Hengjing Zhu Gaoxian should be in his sixties, and he hadn't died yet, how could this kid live so much.

But His Majesty the Emperor thought about it, and remembered that in the previous simulation, King Qi had gone through nine dynasties and eight emperors and lived for more than seventy years.

Zhu Di suddenly became a little indignant: "Damn, Lao Tzu has been an emperor for twenty years, and he hung up when he was only in his sixties, this kid has been an emperor for thirty years is not enough, how can he be an emperor for another ten years,, Lao Tzu is so jealous."

[Your name is Zhu Zhanqi, and you are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[You are already thirty-eight years old, you were made the prince at the age of eight, and you have been the prince for thirty years. From the immature child who hid behind the princess at the beginning, to the now majestic and mature Prince Daming, he has become his father's most powerful assistant, and you have not been empty for a day

time. 】

[As usual, early this morning, you go to the Qianqing Palace to serve tea to your father. 】

[When you walked into the palace, you met an acquaintance on the road, it was your husband Su Wu, and Su Wu's brother, General Su Wen, the Duke of Mengguo. 】

[Su Wu was the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and Hengjing was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet in the third year of the cabinet, and concurrently served as the imperial history of the left capital, the head of the household, and later added the prince and the prince. Hengjing Dynasty's three Zaifu, the first Xia Yuanji, the second Yang Rong, these two generations of Zaifu combined for a long time in office, not as long as Su Wu alone. 】

[And General Su Wen, the Duke of Mongolia, once led a Northern Expedition of 100,000 troops, destroying the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Eastern Mongolia and Western Mongolia, and the Tatars and Warat were both destroyed by General Su Wen, and incorporated Mobei into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and this battle also promoted General Su Wen from a marquis to a duke. 】

[The two brothers also saw you and bowed to you, and you returned the salute and asked, "Are you two here to find my father?" 】

[In view of the general environment,

[Su Wen said: "Prince, you also know that in the past few years, the two of us want to discuss countermeasures with Your Majesty." 】

[It dawns on you that Su Wen is referring to the situation after the end of the Hundred Years' War between England and France in Europe. The two nations fought for a hundred years, which ended in the victory of France, and England lost its last city on the European continent. Although the Hundred Years' War had come to an end, the Ming army in Constantinople was still negotiating with France. 】

[You said, "The matter is very important, and I ask you to see my father with me, and ask my father to make a final decision." 】

[Zaifu said to Meng Guogong, "It should be so." 】

[You and the Su brothers walked into the Qianqing Palace together and saw the unprecedented emperor. 】

[Father is dressed in white, sitting on a golden chair, full of silver hair, his face is old wrinkles, this is already the emperor in his twilight years, although the years have left irreparable vicissitudes on his body, but he is more and more majestic, like a round of sun, so dazzling that people dare not look directly, in the face of his radiant glory and authority, everyone will surrender uncontrollably. 】

[Hengjing Emperor Zhu Gaoxian, this is your father and the fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[If your father's great achievements in the thirty years of his reign are recorded on the bamboo scroll, even hundreds of carriages cannot carry it, you are the luckiest person in the world, because you have become the heir to the greatest emperor of all time. 】

[At the same time, you are also the most unfortunate person in the world, your father's dazzling light makes you feel inferior, even if you have not wasted your time for more than 30 years, and you have tried your best to learn the experience of being in power, but it is still not worth mentioning in front of your father's honor. 】

[Before Su Wen and Su Wu saluted, his father asked as if he were an unknown prophet, "Are you here for the west?" 】

Before the others could speak, my father said in a surging voice, "If you are here for the west, you can go back, the Romans have commanded the fourteen guards under the command of the envoy to enter France, but before they can get close to Paris, they have already announced their surrender. Actually, I don't have the intention of starting a war now, I just want to deter them strategically, but I didn't expect them to surrender so quickly." 】

[Su Wu was a little confused: "The minister has never been in contact with the news that the Roman capital has applied for troops." 】

[Father chuckled: "I asked them to send troops, Su Wu, for thirty years, you have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, you can't let you do any small things, right?" 】

[You chuckled in your heart, and heard your father's voice. 】

[The dispatch of fourteen guards and nearly 100,000 troops from Rome is no small matter. As usual, no matter what the emperor does, he has to convene and discuss it with the cabinet, the military department, and you, the crown prince, but neither the cabinet nor you have received the slightest news. 】

[Su Ge Lao has been in charge of the court for thirty years, and his father's current deployment and words are undoubtedly a subtle hint that it is time for Su Ge Lao to retire. 】

[It's okay to say this in private, but now that my father said it in front of you and Meng Guogong, it's even more

Plus makes people think about it very scary. 】

[Meng Guogong Su Wen is Su Wu's elder brother, and he is also one of the generals who control the military power of the imperial court, saying this in front of Meng Guogong is not only implying that Su Ge should retire, but also warning Meng Guogong that it is time to unload his armor and return to the field. 】

[Su Ge is always the prince and teacher, and he is the gentleman who teaches you to govern by hand, and my father is now saying such things to Su Ge, but he has not asked you to step down and avoid suspicion, it is difficult to ......]

[Is your father dissatisfied with you?] 】

[Your heart begins to panic, thinking about whether you have done something wrong recently, which caused your father to be dissatisfied with you, and you have even begun to think about whether you should take the initiative to ask your father to resign and step down as the crown prince. 】

[You think of your second brother, who is brave and good at fighting, and at the same time resourceful, good at government affairs, and similar to his father. Don't you know, does your father want you to transfer the crown prince to your second brother? 】

[When your heart was in turmoil, Su Ge Lao leaned down and knelt down and said, "The minister understands, so go home and write a letter of resignation, thank you, Your Majesty." 】

[Su Ge Lao's heart should be very fortunate now, at the level of Su Ge Lao, it is difficult to die well, and now he can step down with dignity, which is undoubtedly a blessing for him. 】
