Zhu Zhen looked a little dull. He never expected that Zhu Ji would say this.

He had long wanted to let the second emperor brother regain the crown prince's position, not because he held a grudge for taking the blame for Zhu Zhen, but because he felt that Zhu Zhen was not a qualified emperor and could not make Liang Guo strong again!

Zhu Zhen has no tolerance for others and is selfish. He cannot tolerate the people, let alone the world.

The person who is truly suitable to be emperor is the Second Emperor Brother.

What Liang needed was an emperor who was considerate of the people and willing to develop people's livelihood.

But the second emperor brother actually said such shocking words!

"Why?"

Zhu Zhen asked Zhu Ji why he was unwilling?

"My father is still here, so I can't do such a thing."

"Of course it won't work if the emperor is here."

Zhu Zhen's tone increased.

Is that a joke? Who would dare to make a mistake while Emperor Wu of Liang was still alive?

"Just like what you said, there is something wrong with my father's dragon body. Naturally, I have to wait until my father dies."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until that time."

Zhu Ji's tone was quite serious.

"What's the meaning?"

"My body is getting worse every day and I may be able to walk in front of my father..."

"Brother Second Emperor, you..."

"Really, I know my own body best. My health has not been good since I was a child, and then my illness gradually worsened due to overwork. It's true..."

Zhu Ji's tone was more serious than ever before.

Zhu Zhen felt depressed and didn't know what to say. It turned out that the second emperor brother knew everything.

He really gave everything for the country.

In the past, when my father was away fighting wars, it was the second brother who had to handle government affairs day and night. His health was not good to begin with, and it was only through such torture that he became what he is now.

"Then you see the imperial doctor and take care of your body. What else is more important than your body? If you die, my father will also... What will the country do?"

Zhu Ji was silent.

He has seen it and knows his body best, but the actual situation is even more serious.

"So only you can save Daliang when the time comes!"

Zhu Ji said in a low voice: "Civil strife must not occur at this time. This is in compliance with Emperor Yuanwu. You have to wait for the end of the war, or after the death of your father, you have to stand up and fight for the throne!"

"I......"

"Listen to me first!"

Zhu Ji looked solemn, as if he was delivering his last words.

Indeed, he was delivering his last words.

"As you said, Zhu Zhen is talented, but he is narrow-minded. He does everything only for himself, not for the country!"

"He used to object to his father's military use, but why does he insist on it now? He wants to take revenge on Emperor Yuanwu... No matter whether it is victory or the end, he will be able to drag the country down. He cannot let the Liang Kingdom resurrect.

, it will only harm Liang Guo!"

Hearing these words, Zhu Zhen was shocked in his heart.

It turns out that the Second Emperor Brother sees things so clearly.

"Although you are mediocre, you have experienced too many failures, and you know the difficulty of success. You have a sense of awe for everyone and everything. This is the most valuable thing, so you will be a qualified emperor!"

"I...can't do it!"

Zhu Zhen said: "I am just a useless prince who was demoted to the imperial mausoleum and even dethroned from the throne. I have been far away from the government and have no power at all. My cronies have all been removed and murdered by Zhu Zhen. How can I compete?"

?”

He told the truth.

This is the biggest problem. Zhu Zhen's position in the military is deeply rooted. He personally organized the five newly established legions, and the commanders are all his confidants. Such a position cannot be shaken at all.

How can it be possible to compete with it?

This is simply a fantasy!

"No, you can do it!"

Zhu Ji said: "What was Emperor Yuanwu before? He was just a poor prince, but now he has become an emperor?"

"There's no comparison."

Zhu Zhen looked difficult. Looking at history, there are only a few people like Emperor Yuanwu.

"Why is it different? He can become the Emperor of Daning from a poor prince, and you can become the Emperor of Liang from a deposed prince!"

"I....."

"You must do it. This is for Daliang. Can you really watch Liang Kingdom being captured by Daning?"

"Don't you think the Second Emperor is optimistic about this war?",

"There are many factors that determine the victory of a war, and the number of troops is only one of them. I just don't think victory is guaranteed."

After so much effort and all the efforts of the whole country, there is no guarantee of victory.

How else to say it clearly?

"I'll help you!"

"How can I help?"

"I will arrange some people to support you then."

Zhu Zhen was slightly startled. He knew that the second emperor brother had this strength. He had been presiding over the government for such a long time, and his background was quite profound. Regardless of how Zhu Zhen was doing now, there was still a gap compared with the second emperor brother.

I don’t know how many officials are disciples of the Second Emperor Brother, but it’s different when they die...

Thoughts flashed through.

Zhu Zhen said: "But Zhu Zhen has an army!"

"He has an army, but he has no popular support. Think about what would happen if he framed you and made you bear the blame for the trouble he originally caused."

Zhu Ji said: "This is his biggest stain. It is enough to prevent him from turning over. You just need to wait for the opportunity. Second brother, I will arrange everything for you!"

At this point, Zhu Zhen could only nod dully.

He saw that the second emperor brother was conveying his last words and did not want to disappoint him.

"That's all I have to say. You don't need to do anything before this. Just stay in this imperial mausoleum with peace of mind. This is also a good thing. You can stay away from the whirlpool and will not be affected..."

Zhu Ji explained a few more words and was about to leave.

He is very busy, so it is a good time to take a trip here.

"What we said today must not be said to anyone else, not anyone!"

Zhu Ji finished his last sentence and was about to leave.

"Brother Second Emperor, can I really be the emperor?"

Zhu Zhen chased him a few steps away.

"able!"

Zhu Ji smiled and said: "You are the one who finally saves Daliang!"

"Um!"

Zhu Zhen nodded heavily.

This sentence gave him great encouragement!

The next day, another incident occurred in the court.

Five people including Gong Yangfeng, the Minister of Rites, Li Xingyuan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and Jia Zhi, the Marquis of Qi'an, were demoted one after another for failing to recruit troops and making irresponsible remarks on government affairs. They were all arranged to retire and return to their hometowns in advance.

Zhu Zhen, who was in the imperial mausoleum, was silent for a long time.

He knew that these people were all direct descendants of the Second Emperor's brother, and that their demotion was arranged by the Second Emperor's brother. He felt that he could not take care of them, so he asked them to stay away from the government in advance to avoid being persecuted by Prince Zhu Zhen in the future.

Naturally there would not be such a problem when the second emperor brother was around, so it could only mean that he was making arrangements for his funeral.

"Is your health really that serious?"

Zhu Zhen was in a low mood and had a bad premonition. Ten days later, a piece of sad news came...
