Chapter 245 On the Possibility of Zhu Zhanhe's Rebellion
Chapter 245 On the possibility of Zhu Zhanhe’s rebellion
Regarding the merits of King Gu, Zhu Zhanhe believed that the old man was trying to divert everyone's attention.
Li Jinglong was a demoted general, but his contribution to opening the Jinchuan Gate was too great, so he asked the King of Gu to help share some of the burden, so that those who contributed to the peace and stability could be more at ease.
But no matter what, Li Jinglong was a demoted general after all, and he was also a demoted general with a lot of bad reputations. He almost never won in the Battle of Jingnan.
I don't know if the old man would dare to use Zhu Zhanhe for such a person, but he himself would not dare to use him.
In addition to this, plus the ranking of a demoted general as a hero of Jingnan, which is quite high, this will definitely make the real hero of Jingnan feel dissatisfied, and simply drag him out to show to the public.
He was dismissed from office, seized the title, and imprisoned until death.
It not only distracted attention, but also finally satisfied those who contributed to the peace, killing two birds with one stone.
"You...you..."
I don't know if Zhu Zhanhe's analysis was correct. Zhu Su pointed at Zhu Zhanhe and couldn't say a word, looking very much like a person having an asthma attack.
"Now, tell me, who were the weapons sold to?"
Not only could he not rebel, he could not become emperor.
But if he still stubbornly resists, the only way waiting for him is to go down to see his father.
The second and final possibility is that Zhu Zhanhe did not ascend the throne in the Ming Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, but in a place outside the Central Plains like Siam.
Zhu Zhanhe's words made Zhu Lu dumbfounded, Zhu Di's face filled with sadness, and Zhu Zhanji's face filled with guilt and...
Indeed, Zhu Zhanhe seemed to be the most likely and capable person to rebel, but in fact, he was unable to rebel.
Relax.
"But what about Annan? What about Japan?"
"You are plotting rebellion on your own, and you want to drag me into the water? Are you crazy?"
"Are you crazy to want to rebel?"
"So..." Zhu Zhanhe took the cell key from Ji Gang and said while opening the lock.
"There are also countless corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty, profiteers and royal families of countries such as Japan and Siam."
"Yes, I was the most famous during the Northern Expedition, but it actually has nothing to do with me. The battle was commanded by my grandfather, and it was earned by my father, third uncle, and many soldiers who charged into the battle."
Besides, if someone really dares to do this, the civilian officials won't say anything, but the military generals will definitely be the first to jump out and tear that person to pieces.
"Do you have any brains? If so, please use your brains. My bad reputation covers the royal family, nobles, officials and businessmen from top to bottom."
"What are you comparing me to?"
"Forget it if you are stupid. Don't think others are stupid. If you really think so, then you are the stupidest and the only idiot."
"I know what you mean. Aren't you just nodding at my cousin? Tell him that I am too eye-catching and no one can suppress me after my grandfather and uncle?"
"Yes! The common people support me, and they may support me, but what about in the future? There are no officials, no nobles, and even relatives who will not support me. Who do you think will follow me to raise an army? Do you think people like me will be swarmed?
On the throne?"
"I, Zhu Zhanhe, am well known to everyone in the Ming Dynasty. I can make people frightened by the news, and I can stop children from crying at night."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji's face became ugly, and even Zhu Di's ancient and calm face changed.
"Although now, it's a bit outrageous for you to use this word to describe me. After all, I can't compare to Grandpa Huang's contribution to the Ming Dynasty, but..."
"From the time when I became a vassal under my father until now, I dare not say that I have doubled the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no doubt that I have expanded the territory."
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhu Zhanhe to sit in that position. If he does, there are only two possibilities.
"What?" Zhu Su was stunned when Zhu Zhanhe, who acted out of common sense, said.
"It can be said that except for civilians, almost everyone is not afraid of me."
If he becomes emperor, the generals will be fine, but the civil servants will never obey him. The situation will definitely be more difficult to handle than when the old man entered Yingtian.
"I am eighteen this year, and the number of dead souls in my name has exceeded one million since the time of the Japanese Kingdom. Whether they died at my hands or because of my decisions, there are the remnants of the Meng Yuan Dynasty and the rebellion of Annan.
, there are also Japanese pirates.”
"Besides, before saying this, have you considered my identity?"
"Don't want to say it?" Looking at the hesitant Zhu Su, Zhu Zhanhe laughed.
"Annan has been harassing our border areas of Ming Dynasty and Yunnan for a long time, and the people on the border areas have suffered terribly; Japanese pirates have been harassing our border areas of Ming Dynasty every year, and countless people, money and food have been robbed by them."
"Leaving aside the fact that you are now a prisoner with the intention of treason, what you say is somewhat credible. Even if what you say is not unreasonable, do you think anyone can believe it?"
"I don't even know what the situation is, so I want to rebel and drag others into trouble. You should at least understand the situation, right?"
First, some people used his reputation and status as a royal family member to support him as a puppet and control the Ming Dynasty.
"You said my achievements are superior to those of the master?" Zhu Zhanhe pointed at himself and laughed out loud.
Opening the cell door, Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zhu Su who was hesitating inside.
"You just open the Jinchuan Gate, what about me?"
"But you are overthinking." Zhu Zhanhe reached into the cell and pointed to the shackles on Zhu Su's ankles with disdain.
"Baby, you are still too young. Do you know that there is a word in this world called "The master is overshadowed by his great achievements"?"
"What the hell are you doing!?" Zhu Zhanhe replied unceremoniously.
"His merits exceed those of his master? Are you crazy?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zhu Su with an expression on his face like he was a fool.
Having said that, his end will not be very good, but at most he will be deprived of his title and become a commoner. He may be imprisoned until death, but at least he is still alive and his life will not be too bad.
Haha, to put it bluntly, if Zhu Zhanhe became emperor, those civil servants would have to live in fear. Not only would they not dare to be greedy for a penny, but they would also have to worry at any time whether they and the nine tribes would go down to see their ancestors.
but……
But this situation is basically impossible to happen. Generally speaking, those who become puppets are people with no abilities. Zhu Zhanhe is obviously not such a person.
"Humph!" Zhu Su snorted coldly, seemed to have calmed down, and looked at Zhu Zhanhe with disdain.
"Indeed, what you said makes sense."
When the old man entered Yingtian, there were still some old Jianwen ministers who were willing to lower their noble heads as scholars and grovel for official positions and titles, but Zhu Zhanhe's words...
As soon as Zhu Su said these words, Zhu Zhanhe had no reaction, and Zhu Di had no reaction either. On the contrary, the bodies of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanqi both tensed up instantly.
Those foreigners who were naturalized again did not care much about reputation and the like, because at that time, officials were selected from among the common people just like the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally no one would object.
"I can't compare to the emperor's grandfather. My uncle has been supervising the country for many years and has a lot of merit and hard work. I can't compare to him either."
Zhu Su knew that this was his last chance.
"Then you want me to say it? That's not impossible."
"Then let me tell you a name..."
"Brother Timur?"
Zhu Su suddenly raised his head, looking horrified.
