It was so dark that Zhu Xi, who was kneeling, could not clearly see the face of Zhu Yunxi behind the court case. It is not that it was definitely because of the darkness that he could not see clearly. The real reason was that in this darkness, there was still light coming in from the window.
of the afterglow.
And the afterglow happened to hit Zhu Yunxi's face, making the entire outline look particularly hazy.
What he could clearly see was that Zhu Yunxi was sitting quietly behind the court case, using a delicate paper knife to pick up the confession memorial that Zhu Xi had painstakingly compiled on the table. It didn't look like he was reading it seriously, but more
It's like taking aim indifferently.
The memorial is as thick as a thumb. To be precise, it is not a memorial, but a collection.
This book contains excerpts of important private correspondence between several of their uncles and kings over the years, records of some major events, and some evidence of private correspondence between the feudal princes and officials in the capital.
"Isn't he interested?"
Zhu Yunxi was silent for a long time, and Zhu Yu, who was kneeling, felt unbearable pain in his knees, but compared to his knees, the anxiety and fear in his heart lingered like a shadow.
"But it's all Lao Liu and Lao Qi's fault. Why wouldn't he be interested?" Zhu Xi continued to secretly think, "Or maybe he already knew it?"
Zhu Yunxi didn't know many things. He had blue eyes and handsome guards, but there were always secrets that could be hidden in the world.
It wasn't that he wasn't interested, but he felt a little...wanted to ridicule.
Quiet, it's very quiet in the Nuan Pavilion. Only the hourglass representing time is passing slowly. Otherwise, it's like time has frozen.
The silver paper knife closed the memorial, and Zhu Yunxi's eyes finally fell on Zhu Xi's face.
The latter subconsciously straightened his body and smiled.
"Grandpa Huang asked you to come?"
Zhu Zhu hurriedly said, "Go back to the emperor, yes!" He said, paused, "The emperor asked the guilty minister to come and admit his mistake to the emperor. The guilty minister could not understand many things earlier, but now he has become confused after being scolded by the emperor.
Enlightenment, the sinner's fate today is entirely his own fault!"
After speaking, he kowtowed respectfully.
"Tsk!" Zhu Yunxi curled his lips in his heart and couldn't help but look away.
He turned his head away because he didn't want Zhu Ru to see the uncontrollable sarcastic smile on his lips.
"Why are you so stupid?" Zhu Yunxi really wanted to ask Zhu Rui, "You were not so stupid before. Were you stupid at Fengyang Pass? Or were you frightened by me?"
In the first sentence, Zhu Rui answered wrongly.
The correct answer should be, "The guilty party has long wanted to come to you to confess!"
At this time, you still said that you were ordered by the old man. Are you reminding Zhu Yunxi, the emperor? Does Zhu Yunxi not know whether the old man asked you to come?
Zhu Zhu bowed his head as if he were on the ground, but for a long time he could not hear the emperor's voice asking him to get down.
The emperor didn't speak, and he didn't dare to get up, so he just knelt down. The time in the Nuan Pavilion seemed to have frozen again.
"This!" Zhu Yunxi tapped the memorial with the silver paper knife in his hand, "Does the old man know?"
Zhu Xi raised his head, with a slight excitement between his brows and eyes, "Father, I don't know that since the guilty minister comes to confess his crime, he must be frank and tell the emperor everything he did in the past. So..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Yunxi's gesture.
Zhu Yunxi really didn't want to listen to him anymore.
Zhu Rui answered wrongly again. It wasn't that he answered wrongly, but that he meant the wrong thing and the old man meant it wrongly.
No, it's not that he meant something wrong. It's that he didn't want to follow the old man's wishes at all. He honestly explained all the bad things he had done in the past, kowtowed and cried bitterly, and asked Zhu Yunxi for the sake of flesh and blood.
, forgive him!
What he was thinking about was the trading certificate!
Do you think he is stupid? He knows who will be in charge in the future, has figured things out and recognized his position, and starts to please!
Don't you think he's stupid? He clearly knew that the old man would never approve of what he did, but he still got the other brothers involved.
Stupid is really stupid, bad is really bad.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Xi again, and finally couldn't help but shook his head.
The nine sons of Longsheng were all different. His second uncle, King Qin, was tyrannical, and his third uncle, King Jin, was tyrannical. These two men did not have a very good reputation among the courtiers, but they were definitely neither stupid nor bad.
After Zhu Biao's death, they were the two most qualified to compete for the crown prince's position, but they understood their own differences and their father's true intentions, so they simply stopped fighting. Not only did they not fight, they were also surprised by Zhu Yunxi, his eldest nephew.
good.
You are really smart. If your own nephew becomes the emperor, you will not treat yourself the same way, right? If your own nephew becomes the emperor, it will definitely be better than if your brother becomes emperor, right?
Let’s talk about the Fourth King Yan.
Yes, he is rebellious and has resorted to many tricks behind his back. He will even do whatever it takes if he can, and at the same time he has murderous intentions.
But when people saw that the situation was wrong, they kowtowed and admitted their mistake.
There is no shame in admitting your mistakes. You have taken everything on yourself. If you want to kill or chop you up, you can do whatever you want. If you don’t kill me, I will work for the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind. I can afford to take things and put them down, so I am a man.
But what is Lao Wu?
He seems to be smarter than anyone else, and he does some really stupid things!
They are obviously ambitious, but they pretend to be innocent. Then they secretly connect with each other and encourage others. But then they turn around and sell everything off.
It seems that this person was born with a cool nature, a natural coward who adapts to the changing circumstances. He is born not to like to see good things in others, but likes to see other people's misfortune.

"Why doesn't he speak?"
Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything, and Zhu Tong panicked.
That memorial was a magic weapon for him to get out of sin. He believed that when the nephew emperor wanted to deal with other uncles in the future, it would be a reminder for those people.
Apart from anything else, no one could tell clearly that he was secretly connected with the military generals.
On a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, the king of a certain vassal gave a few beautiful maids to the commander of a certain capital.
On a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, a certain vassal king spoke ill of the emperor in Xinzhao and was not convinced.
wait wait wait....
Even Zhu Rui had made other preparations. When the young emperor wanted to deal with the uncles after the old man passed away, he, the fifth brother, immediately jumped out and helped the little emperor make those uncles confess their crimes and commit crimes.
Let them also have a taste of confinement in Fengyang!
However, now it seems that everything he planned seems to be looked down upon by the emperor.
Therefore, he panicked even more and sweated profusely.
"Are you hot?" After waiting for a long time, Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth again unhurriedly.
"The guilty minister is extremely frightened. When I think of the past...the guilty minister is unforgivable!" Zhu Ru kowtowed again and cried bitterly, "the guilty minister is afraid..."
"Are you afraid?" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Fifth uncle, get up and sit there and talk!"
Suddenly, this sudden change in tone made Zhu Rui suddenly see the light. Especially this call of "Fifth Uncle" almost made Zhu Rui cry.
"There is no guilty minister in front of the emperor..."
"Then you continue to kneel!" Zhu Yunxi directly blocked Zhu Tie's other words.
"You should know that I have never been a person who likes to be polite or oblique!" Zhu Yunxi tapped the memorial with the silver paper knife in his hand, "Besides, I am not a hypocritical person either!"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi changed his tone, "I think people, their whole life only lasts for a few decades, why should they be so hypocritical? Life is your own, and how you live is your own business, why do you have to pretend?"
"What are you trying to do? People, you can't pretend for a lifetime! If you act for others to see, in the end you will only be deceived. If you are deceived too much, you will not be able to get out of the show!"
These words left Zhu Xi confused.
But probably, he could feel that the emperor was talking about him.
"What the emperor said is absolutely true. The guilty minister was too old to understand before..."
"I'm not saying that you know how to live. I'm so tired for you! Uncle Wu, do you still remember the past? I remember that we were pretty good before!"
