Soon, the so-called genealogy was presented to Lao Zhu’s court.
"If you follow the instructions of your ancestors, the King of Qinwu will win. If you follow the road, it will be auspicious, and if you are a good teacher, you will make good use of it..."
"Well, not bad, not bad."
Lao Zhu nodded slightly. But then he thought about it and felt that something was not right.
"That's not right...Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Youjian...there are no characters Qi and You in this generation's pedigree?"
"Could it be that this generation of genealogy was finally rejected by us? The draft is quite good."
"Or maybe it's because the boss's descendants are unfilial and dare to go against our planned lineage?"
While wondering, I kept reading silently. I gradually reached the fourth item.
"Gao Zhan Qi Jian You, Hou Zai Yi Chang Yu..."
"Um?"
"You are still protecting him! You are still protecting him!" Seeing that Zhu Biao was still trying to persuade him, Lao Zhu became even more furious. He waved his hand and threw the book of genealogy in front of Zhu Biao. .
There is the word Qi and there is the word You!
"My child is loyal to you and my eldest brother, and has no desire to covet the throne at all, dad!"
Zhu Di and his brothers were resting in the palace. They stayed outside Qianqing Palace all night. After all, Lao Zhu was worried about their health and sent them back to rest.
The palace door was not open, so Zhu Biao and Zhu Di found a side hall to rest together. The four of them had just laid down for a while when they saw Er Hu personally leading the people to knock on the door and come in. "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, please move to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Your Majesty declares."
"Come to the ancestral hall and meet us immediately!!!"
When they arrived at the Ancestral Temple, they saw that the palace maids and chamberlains were all standing far away, and the two tigers did not dare to approach. They only let Zhu Biao and Zhu Di go in to look for Lao Zhu. When they arrived at the main hall, they saw a few candles lit in the ancestral hall, and a few wisps of cold. The wind blows, illuminating the ancestors' rankings above in varying light and shade.
Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Youjian are all right!
"Fourth!"
"Is it okay tomorrow?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the altar table, and even his back seemed to be exuding a cold air. After Zhu Di called out "Dad", he turned and stared at him with a murderous look. Zhu Di was frightened and took several steps back.
Erhu, who had just returned from the Prince's Mansion outside the door, immediately rushed in after hearing the words. The old boss was trembling all over, and roared with a voice deep in his throat: "Go! Go and tell the fourth brother! Let the fourth brother come here immediately. …”
"What a great person, Qi Jianyou, and a generous person."
"Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, you should leave quickly." Erhu was confused. "Your Majesty, I don't know why... he got so angry."
"What is this?" Zhu Biao picked up the folder.
In his entire life as a soldier, Emperor Hongwu had never seen any big storms or waves. But he had never been so shocked. The book with the names of generations in his hand also fell to the ground with a thud.
He immediately thought of what happened in the Ming Dynasty in history.
"I have served His Majesty for many years, and I have never seen His Majesty get so angry..."
"You two know about Lao Wu, and we don't have to hide it. Just now, Lao Wu was seriously ill and babbled, and he revealed some things about future generations." Lao Zhu's voice became more and more gloomy.
"Dad?" Zhu Di rubbed his sleepy eyes. "What did dad want me to do? Didn't he just ask us to come back?"
When Zhu Di heard that Lao Zhu was angry, he couldn't help but get excited like a conditioned reflex. His first reaction was to think about whether he had done anything outrageous in the past few days, but after thinking about it, he had no clue.
"There was an emperor in later generations named Zhu Qizhen. And the Chongzhen who perished was named Zhu Youjian!"
"Eldest brother... is gone?" Zhu Di was stunned. His mind started to spin: If the eldest brother is really gone, the second brother will definitely not be able to become the emperor with his temper. The third brother has always been against me, why can he be the emperor? No. Lao Wu... Lao Wu just wants to be a free king, so... why can't it be me...
"Two tigers! Two tigers!"
"Zhu Qizhen? Zhu Youjian?" Zhu Biao was stunned, and when he was about to ask in detail, Zhu Di beside him already said "Ah!" and collapsed to the ground!
"Haha, Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zaiyi Changyou..." Lao Zhu was like a demon, approaching Zhu Di with a huge shadow.
"In that case, you should go quickly." Zhu Biao also got up and said. "Since my father summoned you at the Ancestral Temple, there must be something important. I will go with you."
Following the rage of the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the imperial city began to tremble violently before dawn. Old Zhu did not even sit down to raise his father, and strode angrily towards the Ancestral Temple of the Imperial Ancestral Temple. A large group of eunuchs and maidens chased after him. Failing that, he could only carry various ceremonial fans and chase after him breathlessly.
Seeing that he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, Lao Zhu's eyes were filled with blood. "Wow! Wow! You really have... you really have such a rebellious heart!"
"We...we can't beat you to death! We can't beat you to death!"
"The crown prince's position is vacant. You, Mr. Zhu, have always been ambitious. Will you still covet the position of the Ming Emperor?"
"Huh, loyal." Zhu Yuanzhang did not let him go. "If he were your eldest brother, tonight would be... gone."
"They are the descendants of Lao Si!"
"No, go to the ancestral hall...let the fourth child, no, escort the fourth child..."
"Dad! I didn't! I didn't!" Hearing that Lao Zhu called himself "I", Zhu Di was shocked, even the last bit of sleepiness woke him up. His reaction was also quick, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic. "Dad! I just want to be the King of Yan and guard the northern border for my father and elder brother!"
"Fourth brother, please tell me, deep down in your heart, have you ever thought about replacing your eldest brother and replacing me with me as the emperor?"
"Qi Jianyou, Yi Changyou!"
Zhu Biao hurriedly supported Zhu Di. Seeing that Zhu Di's face was pale, he couldn't bear it and said to Lao Zhu: "Dad, there is no reason to scare the fourth child like this. He is still young, how can he withstand your power, dad?"
"This is the list of genealogy for future generations that we asked the Ministry of Rites to draw up. From now on, all your children and grandchildren will be named after this genealogy." Old Zhu said coldly. Zhu Di also peeked at the list. , but looking over and over, I don’t know if this book has anything to do with me.
With that said, he took out the belt from his waist and slapped Zhu Di hard on the ground.
"Dad, don't fight! Stop fighting!" Zhu Biao, who was stunned at the side, hurriedly stopped Old Zhu. The belt of the dragon robe was thick and heavy. After only three lashes, Zhu Biao's clothes were already torn, but he still remained. He didn't dare to get up, he just lay on the ground shivering.
Seeing the miserable appearance of his fourth son, Lao Zhu felt a pain in his heart, but he still said unforgivingly: "Biao'er, you are still protecting him! If you are still tolerating him, who knows if he will be rebellious in the future! "
"Do you know what he did? Su'er said... Su'er said that when he gets old, he will be bullied by this rebellious son. His son will kill all our sons!"
As soon as he discovered that the later emperors were descendants of Zhu Di, Lao Zhu himself linked up all the things Zhu Su said: The fourth son must have been in the wrong position, so he suppressed the other brothers. The fifth brother said that he had a nephew with stains on his hands. With the blood of his biological uncle, the son of the fourth child is also the nephew of the fifth child?
If he were not the emperor, how could he insult and kill the clan king?
