In the fifteenth year of Yongle, Nanjing Yingtianfu.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di sat high on the dragon chair, looking down at Zhu Lu, the king of the valley kneeling below.

Zhu Lu knelt a little reluctantly, and looked at Zhu Di with a rebellious expression.

"Say, why rebel?" Zhu Di's tone was cold.

Zhu Lu smiled arrogantly: "Fourth brother, I thought that when this king welcomed you into Jinchuan Gate, I didn't expect that there would be such an end today...... It's useless to talk too much, it's just that you are making excuses to want the life of this king, so why talk nonsense? ”

"I ask you why you rebelled!" Zhu Di patted the arm of the chair angrily, "Even if I am wronged, your half-brother King Shu will wronged you?" ”

"Do you think this king will believe it?" Zhu Lu smiled disdainfully: "You also know that the King of Shu and this King are half-brothers, how could he report this King to you?" ”

Zhu Di didn't speak, but threw down two secret notes.

The first letter was written by Shi Lu Tinggang in Changsha, saying that he "seized people's land, embezzled public taxes, and killed innocent people", and committed numerous crimes in the fiefdom.

Zhu Yu casually threw the secret note aside, and he complained that he had done ≠ such a thing.

As long as he doesn't admit it, it is not, even if Zhu Di disposes of himself, there will still be people who will complain to him in the end.

The second one, as soon as Zhu Lu picked it up, a cold sweat came down.

It was his own brother Zhu Chun, the king of Shu.

Zhu Lu forcibly flipped through it calmly, and it was written that he had wantonly looted the people's wealth in the fiefdom, recruited troops and horses, set up lieutenant officers, built warships and crossbows, and trained sailors and soldiers. and he once sent a secret envoy to contact Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, to plot a rebellion, and accompanied by a handwritten letter from that year.

At the end of the secret recital, Zhu Chun actually tried his best to praise it, and the words were extremely numb, nothing more than touting the fourth brother Shenwen Shengwu, punching the two men and stepping on the Tang Dynasty - as for whether Zhu Di believes it or not, then I don't know, anyway, he Zhu Chun believes it.

"Done?" Zhu Di's voice sounded again.

Zhu Lu was covered in a cold sweat and fell to the ground and did not dare to move.

"Do you think the King of Shu is a fool? How dare he falsely call his son Zhu Yuexian, the king of Chongning, Zhu Yunwen? Zhu Di slowly walked down from the dragon chair and kicked Zhu Yun's shoulder: "Or do you think I'm blind, and I don't even remember what Zhu Yunwen looks like?" ”

"This emperor, if the fourth brother does it, this king can't do it?" Zhu Lu suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Di instead.

"What are you! Also worthy of being compared to me? Zhu Di kicked again: "Move a mirror and look at it, can you see if you can compare to a piece of baked cake?" ”

Zhu Lu was also very tough, and he didn't say a word, letting Zhu Di kick him.

Zhu Di kicked twice, and suddenly felt that it was not interesting, so he waved his hand and said, "Drag it down...... Spread the decree, Zhu Lu, the king of the waste valley, and his two sons are concubines! ”

After Zhu Lu was dragged down, Zhu Di sighed, walked back to the edge of the dragon chair, sat on it and tapped his temples gently, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he tapped lightly on the desk with his hand, muttering to himself.

"Jianwenjun, Jianwenjun, Zhu Yunwen......"

"Zhu Yunxi......" He looked up at the ceiling, and suddenly mentioned the third son of the eldest brother Zhu Biao, who is now imprisoned in Los Angeles...... Zhu Yunxi of Fengyang's high wall.

Speaking of Zhu Yunxi, it is also quite unlucky.

I have to admit that in fact, Zhu Yunwen is also very good to him, perhaps because this kid is really no threat to him, so as soon as he ascended the throne, he named him King of Wu, and his fief was in Hangzhou.

As we all know, in the Tang Dynasty, the most honorable royal title is King Qin, because that was used by Li Shimin; Corresponding to the Ming Dynasty, the most honorable king title is King Wu, which Zhu Yuanzhang used before he ascended the throne.

We don't know the specific reason, but it is certain that Zhu Yunwen's other two half-brothers, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi, have not been given the title of King Wu.

Before Zhu Yunxi, there was also a King Wu for a short time, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Hu, the youngest son of Queen Ma. However, within a few years of sealing, Zhu Yuanzhang changed Zhu Hu to Kaifeng.

After Zhu Dijing's success in the difficulty, Zhu Yunxi disappeared, leaving only Zhu Yunxi and his two younger brothers to be captured by Zhu Laosi.

And the reason why the three of them were crowned kings was because their brother ascended the throne and their father was posthumously crowned Emperor Xiaokang. And Zhu Di is more desperate, the first thing he did after coming to power was to abolish the era name of Jianwen and reuse it for 35 years of Hongwu; At the same time, the "Emperor Xiaokang" of the good big brother was abolished and re-demoted to Prince Yiwen.

As we all know, only the emperor's son or brother can be a prince; And the son of the prince can only be the king of the county.

Therefore, after Zhu Di remembered Zhu Yunwen's filial piety deeds towards his brothers before, he was greatly moved, and waved his pen-

Okay, you Zhu Yunxi can't assist your brother well, so that he is so rebellious...... Well, don't do this county king, be a concubine.

I have to say that the fourth child still has a bit of humanity in his body, at least after ordinary people pretend to be crazy and eat, it is difficult to treat this calmly.

And now because of Zhu Di's nonsense, Zhu Di's suspicions have begun to commit.

This Zhu Yunxi ...... Will it be used by people with other intentions to rebel?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not only possible, but also very large, until he finally made up his mind after closing the loop of competition logic in his brain.

"Saihachi?"

With Zhu Di's call, Sai Hazhi, who had been standing below for a long time, immediately stepped forward.

As the commander of the Jinyi pro-army, he naturally had to stand by the emperor's side on this occasion of cleaning up the rebellious prince.

"Go to Fengyang, Wu Shu people ......"

Zhu Di seemed to have made up his mind for a long time, his fingers drew a circle in mid-air, and after a while, he made up his mind and said, "Deal with it." ”

"Yes!"

Saihazhi was ordered to go.

Zhu Di sighed dejectedly, sat on the dragon chair and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

Originally, when I first started, when I thought of my eldest brother Zhu Biao and sister-in-law Chang, it was still a little difficult to start with Zhu Yunxi. But as soon as he thought that Zhu Yunwen, the king of eight lambs, had forced himself to eat shit, Zhu Di's fire suddenly came out.

"Big brother...... Don't blame me......"

Zhu Di muttered.

In this daze, the sleepiness suddenly came up.

He yawned and curled up in the dragon chair for a nap.

In a daze, he suddenly seemed to hear someone calling him, and the voice was still very familiar.

"Fourth, fourth?"

It's been a long time since anyone shouted at me...... Zhu Di thought to himself and slowly opened his eyes.

Then I saw the face that I thought about day and night.

"Big brother?" Zhu Di rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and suddenly felt that his legs were a little weak.

The eldest brother in front of him, as young as ever, reminded him of the time when he was still a hairy boy.

How good those days were, I haven't turned against the third brother, and the brothers are running around in the palace all day long, especially the second brother who owes it to the point that he can't do it, and he has to give a kick when he encounters a raccoon cat.

He clearly remembered that the second brother kicked a raccoon cat painfully, and the cat slapped it backhand, scratching two scars on the second brother's neck. The second brother cried and went to his mother to complain, and the mother smiled and baked flatbread to coax him to eat.

"Is this a dream?"

Zhu Di stretched out his hand and gave himself a mouthful, which sounded surprisingly.

Hey, it's not a dream.

Could it be that everything you have experienced before is a dream?

"Big brother, let me tell you, I had a dream just now...... Zhu Di grabbed the eldest brother's arm and said to him with burning eyes: "I dreamed that my sister-in-law died, Xiongying also died, our mother also died, you are gone, and finally the second brother, the third brother, and the father...... Dad passed the throne to Yun Wei, and this kid came to power and began to do something to our uncles......"

"The twelve, the twelfth were all forced to death by him......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Di was already in tears.

"Fourth, what are you crying about?"

Lao Zhu's voice sounded from behind Zhu Biao.

The suppression from the blood made Zhu Di feel a thrill, and he got up and knelt on the ground without hesitation: "Dad? ”

From the first time he saw his father, he was sure that this was not a dream, but what he had experienced before should be a dream.

In his heart, he didn't want to be this emperor. If it weren't for Zhu Yunwen pressing too hard after coming to power, he would still be fighting against the Northern Yuan Tartars in Beiping now.

Since that dream was so real, he didn't even hesitate at all, so he chose to talk to his father and eldest brother.

"Dad, my dream just now is too real, don't you ......"

At this point, he realized that something was wrong.

Why is your voice still so old? Isn't this dream awake enough?

"Fourth, you're not dreaming." Lao Zhu rarely smiled at this son who looked older than himself: "We and your eldest brother are blessed by the immortals, and we have come from Hongwu for seven years." ”

"Immortals?" Zhu Di was numb all of a sudden.

"This is, you want to call uncle." Lao Zhu pointed at Li Qing and introduced.

Zhu Di swallowed his saliva, but still called his uncle honestly.

But he felt very awkward - even his eldest grandson, Zhu Zhanji, looked older than this uncle.

Then he quickly became agitated, remembering the previous order to give Zhu Yunxi to death, as well as the extreme smear of his eldest brother in "The Difficult Record of Fengtian Jing......

If you want to talk about rebellion, he Zhu Di is not weak-I, Zhu Di, have been forced to eat, and if I don't rebel, I will be forced to death by Jianwen's little rabbit cub, what is my crime? But the problem is that these two things, he is really vain, whether it is to consolidate his rule and leave no hidden dangers, after all, it is a bit unreasonable.

"Why, after seeing us, you don't have anything to say?" Lao Zhu walked to the edge of the dragon chair and sat down.

"Dad, I miss you to death." Zhu Di's tone was a little dry, as if it was a stick reading.

"Do you want us?" Lao Zhu smiled, "We also went to the first year of Jianwen, and we know what happened - you're afraid that you're weak-hearted, right?" Well? ”

"I'm not weak-hearted!" Zhu Di saw that since his father knew about it, he wouldn't act out this scene, so he said honestly: "Jianwen's little rabbit cub has forced me to eat, can't I rebel?" ”

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao glanced at each other, and in the end, Lao Zhu laughed first.

"Hahahaha...... You fourth, it turns out that you still have such sore feet? When we arrived in Beiping, you were eating pig food in the pigsty, but I didn't expect you to eat? ”

Zhu Di's face turned red all of a sudden, and it was broken, revealing that it was short.

"We know that you are wronged, what Zhu Yunwen did to that rabbit cub, we also know." Lao Zhu snorted and said, "The old twelve died unjustly, alas...... When we saw your appearance at the time, we felt uncomfortable in our hearts, and your mother also said at the time, don't blame the fourth child, it's Jianwen's rabbit cub who did too much. ”

After all, he didn't tell the story of meeting Emperor Jianwen, and as a result, people didn't recognize him as the emperor's grandfather at all.

"Dad......" Zhu Di howled dryly and looked up: "Where is my mother?" ”

"Your mother has something to do, you want to see it, when you are free, just go to Hongwu Chao to see it." When Lao Zhu said this, he looked at Zhu Di with a tiger face: "What's the matter, you kid still want to turn the sky upside down, but it's the other way around, let your mother come to see you?" ”

"Ah, no, no, Dad, I didn't mean that......" Zhu Di immediately admitted his mistake.

"Don't worry, let's make a decree in a few days, and it will be over if you Yan King Zhu Di ascended the throne legally." Lao Zhu sat on the dragon chair and said very casually: "You have done a good job as an emperor, we are very satisfied, and we will make up for the legitimacy of this piece." ”

"Thank you, Dad." Zhu Di said immediately.

"Actually, I was quite surprised," Li Qing said with a smile: "I thought you would be like Jianwen's little rabbit cub, and you wouldn't recognize your father." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu's face immediately turned purple like an eggplant.

*Resentment from Lao Zhu +10000

"Huh? Jianwen's little rabbit cub dared to disown my father? Zhu Di became angry all of a sudden: "Into the fuck!" How can there be such a ......?"

"Fourth!" Zhu Biao's face darkened suddenly: "You want to learn from Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't come with him today, otherwise it would have been a lot of fun.

"Be reasonable, Xiaobiao, Brother Li really didn't do anything out of the ordinary to his sister-in-law, if you don't believe it, you can ask him yourself." Li Qing began to defend him based on the principle that he and Li Shimin were good buddies.

Zhu Di didn't notice Li Qing's words, but immediately apologized to his eldest brother: "Big brother, isn't this a rush here?" You also know that Zhu Yunwen's dog thing that is not as good as baked cakes is indeed not a thing. ”

Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted, "Someone! Come! Go and chase Saihazhi back! ”

"Fourth, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Biaohu asked suspiciously.

Zhu Di opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

It was Li Qing who helped Zhu Di explain to Zhu Biao on the side: "Isn't this this year's rebellion by Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, he carried Zhu Yuexian, the third son of Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, and pointed out that the deer was Ma Cheng Zhu Yunwen, and wanted to join Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, to rebel together, but he was reported by the king of Shu." ”

"Then after the fourth child of your family demoted Zhu Chun to a concubine, how could he feel uncomfortable, so he issued an order to let Zhu Yunxi, a Wushu man who was confined in the high wall of Fengyang, "die of a violent illness". ”

*Rage from Zhu Biao +20000

"Old Fourth ......" Zhu Biao's gaze suddenly became extremely deep: "You are out of ......"
