In the capital, do you still have internal support?
The young man asked in surprise, how many back-ups do you have?
The secret must not be revealed! The monk smiled proudly.
The young man was silent for a long time, sighing sadly, making up his mind before taking action, and killed him with one blow! If I had such scheming methods back then, how could I end up where I am today?
You grew up in a palace, so you don’t know the dangers of people in the world, and you haven’t experienced it. Furthermore, although you had a noble status at the time, how could you have any help? Even if you had the intention, how could you have the ability?
The one in the East Palace was not as good as me at the beginning! Humph, if no one wanted to see me, who in the palace would want to see him at that time! The young man sneered, it was just a villain's behavior to please his grandfather!
No, no! The monk said, the young monk was quite confused at first when he heard that the man in the East Palace was in charge! But then he watched his behavior and listened to his story. The man in the East Palace is not just someone who can please the old man!
Then what can he do? The young man said angrily, in terms of reading, knowledge, words and deeds, morality, how is he better than me?
Governing a country is not about these things, but...
As he spoke, the monk hurriedly fell silent.
If a person does not realize the real gap between himself and others, anything else said by onlookers will just add salt to the wound and will only irritate him more, and nothing else will help.
In the past few years, I have thought about it day and night. In fact, the biggest mistake I made back then was my mother's mistake. There was hatred in the young man's eyes, and my mother was too impatient...
The monk said in his heart, she has no choice but to be impatient. Dong Gong was born in a nobler family than you. He is favored by the old man inside and supported by noble relatives outside. He has become powerful, what can you do to fight him?
All you rely on is the title of your eldest son, your mother, who is the Crown Princess. But that person is actually a serious legitimate son, and he shows a bit of the king's appearance. Whether it is the army or the courtiers, everyone is attracted to you.
At that time, my uncle was in charge of the troops in the Beijing camp, my maternal uncle was in charge of the Nine Gates, and Li Jinglong, who later entered the East Palace camp, was in charge of the front army of the Imperial City Palace. What do you two have?
However, you can only think this in your heart, not say it with your mouth.
Moreover, the monk was still complaining in his heart.
You say you gain wisdom after every experience, but you didn’t realize the biggest gap between you after all! You were not defeated, so where did you lose? Even if your mother didn’t do anything wrong, you didn’t have the slightest chance!
Moreover, your mother's biggest mistake was not that. It was pretending to be virtuous in front of the old man, but secretly bullying Huang Ming's legitimate son!
Over the years, I have always been dreaming about my mother! The young man’s face became more and more ferocious. He dreamed that she was hanging from the beam and said to me, “Revenge!”
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years! The monk said, if you have such filial piety and strong support from outside, the day will come when your great revenge will be avenged!
The monk continued, "You and my master will be on one side and attack the capital. You will be proud of yourself!"
The young man showed a bit of enthusiasm on his face, but then immediately receded. How can he calm the hearts of the people in the world?
What does the household affairs of the Zhu family have to do with the people of the world? The monk smiled and said, if the capital is destroyed and the new emperor is established, the world will still belong to the Zhu family! By then, even if there are people who really want to live and die with the country, they will only be the words of the new emperor.
Yes, rebellious officials and traitors!
The new emperor, fourth uncle! The young man said with a smile.
If the great event comes true, I will make the late prince the emperor, your biological mother the queen, and re-build the mausoleum to tell the world! The monk smiled and said, in this way, you will also get rid of the bad breath in your heart!
What can I get? asked the young man.
You are a smart man. If the young monk said that you should be the emperor, you also know that it is impossible! The monk smiled and said, King Wu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhejiang Province gave you a fiefdom. Your living room is like the East Palace. It can be seen that the emperor does not kneel down, but holds the military and wealth of Zhejiang.
With great power, the court cannot interfere.
As he said this, the monk's voice was full of temptation. What do you think of a province that will serve as a country within the Ming Dynasty for you?
Ha ha ha ha!
The young man suddenly leaned on the table and laughed so hard that he burst into tears.
Do you think I am a child? After one hundred thousand tigers enter the capital and the new emperor ascends the throne, your knives will be aimed at me!
The monk suddenly changed his color.
But the matter is now over, I have boarded your pirate ship, and I cannot go back on my word! The young man continued, what should I do?
Do you regret it? The monk asked.
The young man shook his head. Regret? If I had regretted it, I wouldn't have come to see you today! As he said that, his eyes flickered, and instead he asked someone to come and strangle you to death!
You are here after all, and you can’t let go and won’t let you go!
Yes, I am not willing to lose to him! I am not willing to accept the tragic death of my mother! I am even more unwilling to beg for mercy from him! The young man growled, I am also a proud man. Begging for mercy for killing my mother is tantamount to accepting the thief as my father!
It's just! The young man's tone is slower. You think well and calculate well, but you ignore one thing!
Please give me some advice!
That man from the East Palace is not easily moved by pity! The young man said.
The monk smiled and said, "It depends on how you play the role in his heart!"
The young man said, go back and tell your fourth uncle that I will help him! However, I will not show up until he has the upper hand! I have been in the dark,
This is nature, you are the key!
If I can really achieve great things, I don't want any false country, the king of kings. I have stayed in Huai'an for a long time, and the scenery here is very beautiful!
The monk pondered for a moment, are you just seeking revenge?
It's not revenge, but to tell them that I'm not so useless!
With that said, the young man stood up. Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to take you away from the canal.
The young monk can go back by himself!
The young man walked to the door, turned around and said with a smile, "Only when I send you my people can I feel at ease."
Are you afraid that the monk will be caught and bite you out?
Be careful, you're not making a big mistake, you said so! As soon as the words fell, the young man had already walked away.
Hey! The monk sighed and picked up the chopsticks again. Obsession! Obsession! You are the devil in people's hearts!
After leaving the residence here, the young man strolled along the riverside and finally sat down in an elegant room of a restaurant. He ordered a few side dishes and looked at the busy river view outside the window, feeling slightly lost in thought.
However, there was always a vague and sarcastic sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Use me as a knife? Haha, how could I know that you are not the knife in my hand!
I wish you could conquer the capital and have the new emperor ascend the throne!
But the new emperor who ascended the throne is not the old prince, and you are also a traitor!
At that time, I will send troops to Huai'an. As the only bloodline of the old prince, I will climb up and call out.
Outside, there is a large army in the north!
Inside, there are loyal ministers who care about their old king!
If we raise troops to cut off your retreat, there is no telling who will win in the end!
(In the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di did not bring many people into Beijing in the end. He bypassed Jinan and went straight into the capital. Zhu Yunwen's soldiers and horses chased him fiercely. He was barely able to catch up. Zhu Di became emperor. If Zhu Yunwen had given up on the capital at that time, it would be casual.
Find a safe place and use the righteousness of the court to rally the army again. It may not be impossible to turn defeat into victory!)
(This also shows the stubbornness of the Zhu family. Later Chongzhen also thought so. If the capital is destroyed, I will die for you!)
~~~
Yingtian Mansion, Forbidden City.
Huai'an was only a few days away from the capital, so Zhu Yunxi insisted on going first and returned to the palace early this morning.
After returning to the palace, I changed my clothes, freshened up, and went to Fengtian Hall to greet the old man.
The grandson comes to see Grandpa Huang!
In the Fengtian Hall, the old man is sitting behind a tall memorial with half of his face exposed. Is he back?
Zhu Yunxi knelt down and said with a smile, his grandson is back!
Did you see it?
Look!
understood!
almost!
What to do next?
Zhu Yunxi thought about it, his grandson is not afraid of them anyway!
The old man also thought about it, why not make it clear now!
Give them another chance! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, besides, it would not be fun to tell the truth now!
It's like they are playing charades. Every word you say to me is clever. But they both know exactly what they want to express.
Huh! The old man threw the memorial on the table and was fooling around!
Zhu Yunxi smiled, you should always be cautious about things without evidence!
The old man was silent for a long time, and then suddenly sighed, Hey, do whatever you want, we are about to be buried, so we can't care about this! After saying that, he threw over a handwriting, take a look, and you can use your seal later!
Zhu Yunxi picked up the manuscript, opened it and looked at it, and he was immediately happy.
Above are the old man's notes. Xuan, the Crown Prince of Yan and his second and third sons, entered the palace to study!
You said you don't care! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The old man walked down the imperial steps, helped Zhu Yunxi up with his own hands, and then pressed him on the stool. Don't forget the promise you made to us!
What's going on?
Don't get the Zhu family's blood on your hands! The old man just hit Zhu Yunxi on the forehead with a chestnut.
Ouch! Zhu Yunxi covered his forehead, Grandpa Huang, your hands are so strong!
Shall we change this one? The old man pointed to the cloth shoes under his feet, Shall we change this one?
Did his grandson do something wrong again? Zhu Yunxi immediately stepped away and hid aside.
The old man hummed and walked out with his hands behind his back. He got the dumplings on and got off the noodles. He told the kitchen to cook the noodles! Stir-fry the fresh meat with dried radishes and add more onions and garlic!
The imperial doctor said, you should eat more lightly! Zhu Yunxi helped the old man out.
You kid, don't worry about these useless thoughts! The old man turned around and glared, "My wife has married several times for you, and she just got a little grandchild for us!"
Just two! Just marry two of them! Zhu Yunxi said aggrievedly, besides, you let your grandson leave Beijing just after he and Ronger consummated their marriage!
Oh, you are contradicting us! The old man said angrily with his beard raised.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head, his grandson was wrong! His grandson must do it as soon as possible, as soon as possible!
Huh! The old man turned his head, that’s not bad! As he said that, his eyes suddenly narrowed into a gap with a smile, our little blessing can call him daddy!
No way! Zhu Yunxi wondered in his heart, how could a child who was just that old be able to speak? Did the old man hear wrongly?
But I didn't dare to say anything, so I could only say, "Congratulations to Grandpa Huang, little girl..."
Well! The old man changed his face again.
My grandson's aunt looks very smart! Zhu Yunxi looked bitter.
Hahaha! In the hall, the old man’s hearty laughter could be heard.
