Zhu Wenkui, the crown prince of the dynasty, a six-year-old little hairy child, unexpectedly brandished a dagger with a cold light, and rushed towards Zhu Di, the now complacent and invincible Yan King!

Zhu Di has been on the battlefield for a long time and is burly and tall, how can he be intimidated by him? With his skills, if he wants to subdue such an immature child, it is not a matter of being able to catch it?

But Zhu Di didn't want to subdue him at the moment, he saw the light of hatred in the eyes of this little child, it was a kind of undying hatred.

How could a six-year-old child have such a deep hatred for himself?

Zhu Di has already moved to kill, he wants to kill this child!

The murderous intent in his eyes flashed, and he was seen by Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and he was shocked, and hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Uncle Yanwang, don't!"

But it was too late, and at this time, Zhu Di had already picked up the golden candlestick on the side, and waved it towards the six-year-old child who was rushing over.

Zhu Di was born with a big shoulder and a round waist, how could a six-year-old child withstand such a blow from him, Zhu Wenkui was suddenly knocked out and fell far away.

But the boy was very stubborn, still holding the dagger tightly in his hand, humming and chirping, and trying to get up again.

Where would Zhu Di give him such an opportunity, the candlestick in his hand was thrown towards the kid mercilessly, impartially, and the heavy candlestick just hit Zhu Wenkui's head.

With a "snap", Zhu Wenkui's young head was suddenly smashed and splashed with blood, lying on the ground, and there was no movement.

The heavy golden candlestick fell to the side of the main hall, and the flying candle flame ignited the gold embroidered curtain hanging in the hall, and burst into a bright flame, and the fire reflected the originally dim hall.

The firelight also shone on the face of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, who looked at everything that happened in front of him and looked at his young son who was lying in a pool of blood, and was stunned and completely stunned.

At this time, there was another woman's terrible scream from behind the screen, and a richly dressed woman stumbled out, and suddenly fell on Zhu Wenkui's corpse, crying bitterly.

This woman Zhu Di knows, she is Zhu Wenkui's mother, the wife of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, and the queen of Ma in the dynasty.

This Empress Ma was originally the daughter of Guanglu Shaoqing Ma Quan, and was canonized as the crown princess by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu. After entering the palace, she was dignified and well-behaved, which was deeply appreciated by Emperor Taizu.

And she gave birth to two sons for the Zhu family's royal family, and the six-year-old Zhu Wenkui was the eldest son she gave birth to, and was made the crown prince by Emperor Jianwen.

Now that she suddenly saw her son being stoned to death by Yanwang Zhu Di, how could she not be heartbroken as a mother, picked up the child in a pool of blood, and cried to death.

Suddenly heard a "bang", the palace door was kicked open, Zhang Fu, who was guarding outside the palace gate, heard the movement, and rushed into the palace with several guards holding sharp blades to protect Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

This sudden movement woke up the stunned Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, who trembled like waking up from a dream and ran down from the dragon chair in three steps and two steps, and took the corpse of the crown prince Zhu Wenkui from Queen Ma's hand, hugged it tightly to his chest, and cried loudly.

Queen Ma stopped her grief at this moment, stood up with tears on her face, pointed at Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and scolded: "You old horseman, you are an uncle in vain, a very popular minister, but you don't want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, do not follow the instructions of the previous emperor, and start a rebellion, which will bring disaster to the world." You are a vain man, a son of man in vain!"

"You keep saying that you want to clear the king's side and punish the ministers, but now in front of His Majesty in the main hall, you are openly murdering and killing the prince of the dynasty, and the ambition of the wolf son is clearly revealed. He is your own nephew, you are ruthless, you are really hard-hearted, extremely ruthless!"

"What face does a shameless villain like you, who betrays the throne and usurp the throne, ruthless and unjust, stand above the court? What face does he have in front of the people of the world? What face does he have to see the ancestors of the first emperor and the ancestors of the Zhu family under Jiuquan?"

The last sentence was originally used by Zhu Di to reprimand Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen just now, but now it was used by Queen Ma to scold him.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was scolded by her, his face was angry, and he was angry with Queen Ma: "How can you, a woman, understand the affairs of the court? This king raised troops and was difficult to appease, it was in accordance with the instructions of the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Teachings" left by the previous emperor, it was for the sake of my Ming Dynasty to be eternal for generations, and for His Majesty and the court not to be mistaken by traitorous ministers, this king is worthy of the first emperor and heaven and earth!"

(During his lifetime, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, not only divided the princes as vassal kings, but also commanded troops to guard various places, in order to prevent traitors from usurping power and shaking the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that the vassal kings had the power to raise troops to pacify the court and kill traitors.)

He wrote in the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun Law": "If there is no official in the court, and there is treachery in it, he will raise troops to punish him, and he will clear the side of the monarch." Later, when Zhu Di raised the army, he also used this as a reason, pointing out that Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were traitorous ministers, and the slogan of the army was also "Qing Jun's side, Yasukuni is difficult", which is known as Jing in history

Difficult battle. ）

"Moreover, although you are the queen, you are just the daughter of a foreign minister who married into my Zhu family, and the relationship between this king and His Majesty is not only a major matter in the court, but also a matter within the Zhu family.

His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and under the light of the fire on the side, a hideous look appeared on his face.

Queen Ma smiled sadly and said: "Uncle Yan Wang is now with a large army in his hands and the victory is in his hands, since he can kill the prince of the dynasty in court, he naturally doesn't have to worry about a woman like me." You don't have to do it Uncle Wang, I'm afraid that your hands will be too dirty and tarnish my reputation!"

After that, she wiped the tears from her face, knelt down to Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, who was still holding her son's corpse and crying bitterly, and leaned on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, and she can't assist Your Majesty in rectifying the dynasty and clarifying the United States, and she has failed to protect the prince for Your Majesty and continue the bloodline, and the concubines are ashamed of Your Majesty and the love of the former emperor!"

"Now the concubines are one step ahead, and they will go to Quanxia to ask for their guilt in front of the emperor, so as not to be humiliated in front of the chaotic ministers and thieves, lose their reputation, and insult the face of the Zhu family's royal family. After the concubine goes, please take care of your majesty's dragon body!"

After speaking, without waiting for Emperor Jianwen to speak, Queen Ma stood up, stood up straight, and with a twist of her wrist, a cold dagger appeared in her hand, but it was the one that the crown prince Zhu Wenkui was holding just now!

I don't know when, she has taken advantage of everyone's inattention to take the dagger in the hand of her son's corpse.

Zhang Fu and the others saw that Queen Ma was holding a sharp blade, and they were all nervous, and hurriedly blocked the front and protected Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen was still grieving for the loss of his son, but when he suddenly saw the dagger in the hand of Queen Ma, he couldn't help but be startled, and exclaimed: "Zitong, don't ...... it."

Before she finished speaking, Queen Ma exclaimed sadly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has gone!"

With a push of the wrist, the sharp dagger was plunged straight into the chest, and the whole body was crooked, and he fell obliquely, and he was already dead of anger.

Seeing this scene, even Yan Wang Zhu Di couldn't help but be surprised, he couldn't imagine that this Queen Ma usually looked gentle and elegant, virtuous and virtuous, and was a weak person. At the critical moment, her temperament became so strong.

Zhang Fu and the guards around him saw this tragic scene, the prince's blood was splashed on the spot, and the queen committed suicide with her sword, and they couldn't help but be stunned, standing stupidly in place at a loss.

However, at this moment, Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen, was holding his son's corpse in his arms, looking at his wife who was dying of anger, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and burst into a burst of wild laughter: "Hahaha, good, really good, it is said that Uncle Yan Wang is the most strategic and ruthless person among the sons of the previous emperor, and now it seems that it is really a good strategy and a good means!"

"My throne belongs to the Zhu family, if you want it, take it, but why did you kill my son and force my wife to death? ”

"I just regret it now, I thought of my family affection at the beginning, I didn't listen to Xu Huizu's advice, and I didn't kill you, a traitor and thief with evil intentions, early on, and now I am to blame for such an end!"

In his wild laughter, Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy.

He knew what Emperor Jianwen said that when Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, Zhu Di's brother-in-law, Xu Huizu, the younger brother of Princess Yan Xu, once made a statement to Emperor Jianwen, saying that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, supported the army in Beiping and respected himself.

Fortunately, Xu Huizu's younger brother, Zhu Di's brother-in-law Xu Zengshou was resolutely on the side of his brother-in-law, and he strongly dissuaded Jianwen Di, saying that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was the prince of the former emperor after all, and he had no merit in Beiping for many years, and he was the uncle of Emperor Jianwen.

Emperor Jianwen thought that he was reasonable, and remembered the blood relationship between him and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, so he shelved Xu Huizu's suggestion.

Many people know about this matter, and Zhu Di is also cited as a lifelong shame, his wife and brother would suggest to his own nephew to kill him, no matter how he thinks about it, it makes Zhu Di feel angry.

At this time, the fire in the hall gradually burned bigger and bigger, crackling, and the red light of the flickering flames shone on Zhu Di's face, but it seemed that there was an indescribable horror on his face.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yunwen, the Jianwen Emperor who was sitting on the ground holding his son's corpse in his arms, still laughing like crazy, and frowned, and a sinister anger loomed between his eyebrows.

The army was defeated and the city was broken, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen not only did not escape, but also sat on the top of this hall and waited for his arrival, his wife and children hid behind the screen behind the dragon chair, and carried a sharp blade and dagger.

This is clearly to want to negotiate with yourself for the last time, if it doesn't work, you will make a desperate bet and fight to the death.

If it weren't for the fact that these six-year-old children couldn't hold their breath, maybe they would really have a chance to fight with themselves.

The dignified king of a country, desperate, actually wants to learn the market

Splashing skin, the courage of a horseman, doing such a stupid battle of trapped beasts?

His heart can be punished!

Zhu Di shook his head secretly in his heart, feeling extremely disappointed in the nephew in front of him, he didn't even understand, why did his father choose to pass on the throne to such a cowardly and incompetent mediocre talent?

Does he really think that just by relying on a group of pedantic scholars who can only talk and point fingers, he can make the future prosperous and keep peace forever?

Zhu Di raised his head and looked at the dragon chair that was shining with a red flame light, which was left by his father.

After so many years, perhaps, it's time to change the dragon chair, and of course, the person sitting on the dragon chair also needs to be replaced.

Zhu Di closed his eyes, turned around, turned his back to the dragon chair and Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, and whispered slowly to Zhang Fu beside him: "The city of Nanjing is broken, the Jingnan army has entered the city, Your Majesty has been deceived by traitors for a long time, and he repented, and he consciously faced the king and the people of the world, so he raised fire in the Fengtian Palace, and the queen Ma and the prince were also martyred. ”

Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, bowed down and responded: "Minister, understood." ”

Yan Wang Zhu Di didn't look back again, but strode towards the outside of the hall.

The dark hall flickered with the red light of the flames, which seemed a little weird, and through the temple door, the outside of the hall was bright sunlight, shining on the earth, as if it was another world separated by the temple door, a better world.

Zhu Di's steps are getting faster and faster, and he is getting easier and easier, because he believes that he is not wrong, and he believes that the unknown future will be better.

The moment he stepped out of the palace gate, there was still Emperor Jianwen's almost poignant laughter behind him: "Uncle Yanwang, Zhu Di, you can kill us, you can kill all the people who oppose you, but you can't kill the people of the world, you can't stop the people of the world!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but shake his head, this stupid boy!

Until now, he still hasn't figured it out, and the people of the world will never know the truth, because what they know is a truth that Zhu Di gave them, and it is also a truth that they hope.

If there is no truth, how can we talk about it?

Walking out of the palace gate, Zhang Fu hesitated, but still asked Zhu Di, the king of Yan, "It is reported that Zhu Wengui, the second prince of Jianwen, is in the hall next to him, do you want to hug him together......

He didn't finish speaking, because he saw Zhu Di suddenly turn his head and look at him with a surprised and strange look.

In fact, as soon as the words came out, even he himself was taken aback.

Emperor Jianwen's second prince, Zhu Wengui, is only two years old and is still a baby!

Zhang Fu didn't understand why he suddenly had such a strange idea, such a cruel idea?

Is this called cutting the grass and eradicating the roots?

Perhaps people are easily influenced by the environment, and ruthlessness and cruelty are also easily contagious, which has nothing to do with the good and evil of people themselves.

It's like on the battlefield, you desperately want to kill the enemy, kill the enemy, do everything, you don't feel what is ruthless and what is cruel, because everyone around you is doing the same thing.

Human beings are animals that can easily imitate each other.

Zhu Di stared at Zhang Fu for a long time, then his gaze gradually softened, shook his head and said, "No need! ”

(Later, Zhu Wengui was sent to Fengyang's hometown at the age of two and imprisoned, known as "Jianshuren", until Ming Yingzong seized the door and released him with mercy, and built a house for him, married a wife and had children.)

However, at that time, he had been imprisoned for more than 50 years, isolated from society, had long since lost his ability to stand on his own, and was riddled with illness, and died soon after. It was not until later that Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty posthumously awarded him the title of King Run, nicknamed Huai, and was known as King Runhuai in history. ）

Zhang Fu hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Yes!"

He felt a cold sweat on his head, His Royal Highness King Yan shouldn't think of himself as a ruthless person from now on, right?

Fortunately, Zhu Di didn't say anything more, nor did he stop any longer, but went straight away.

Zhang Fu stayed behind and instructed the sergeants to nail all the doors and windows of the Fengtian Temple with wooden sticks, and then guarded the surrounding area to prevent anyone from coming to put out the fire or someone escaping from inside.

In fact, Zhang Fu knew in his heart that even if he didn't do this, Emperor Jianwen would never run away. How can a person whose heart is already dead be born in this world?

It was very windy that day, and the fire burned very fast, and in a short time the entire Fengtian Temple was completely engulfed by raging tongues of fire.

In addition to the crackling sound of the flames burning and the crashing sound of the beams and columns in the hall, what has been resounding in Zhang Fu's ears is the crazy laughter of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.

After all these years, his poignant laughter seems to have traveled through time, and it often rings in Zhang Fu's ears.
