Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed when he heard the 'Xuanwu Gate Change' mentioned by Zhu Tie.
Although he was born as a beggar and rose to become emperor, he also learned a lot about governing the country since he gained control of the world and established the Ming Dynasty.
As an imperial family member, he was naturally very taboo about the famous "black material" of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin.
However, because the status of Prince Zhu Biao was very stable and the other princes and vassal kings also respected him very much, Zhu Yuanzhang did not think about it at all.
I just didn't expect that things often develop in unexpected directions.
Who would have thought that Zhu Biao would fall ill due to overwork at such a young age?
Zhu Yuanzhang was fully prepared to repeat the mistakes of history.
It was only because of the idea of "causing great chaos and bringing great order" that he did not immediately issue an edict to allow Zhu Yunwen to succeed him as the crown prince.
The purpose is to muddy the water and eradicate all those who do not do their duty to consolidate the Zhu family's political power.
But Zhu Yuanzhang never dreamed that Zhu Xi would have such an "artifact" as a pistol in his hand. At this time, in addition to anger, he felt regret.
However, he did not act rashly. Although Zhu Xi said that he would learn from Tang Taizong Li Shimin's approach and would not touch him as the emperor, he did not want any surprises.
But not moving doesn't mean you can't speak.
"Gui Zi, the thing in your hand is a firearm, right? Where did you get it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to delay time by distracting Zhu Xi's attention, giving the guards behind him time to prepare.
At the same time, he was really curious about what Zhu Xi was holding.
Not only is it small, but it can kill people with one strike. If this kind of thing spreads, it will pose a great threat to the Zhu family royal family.
That's right, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw the pistol, he didn't think of using it to attack the Mongols and expand territory, but the first thing he thought of was the threat.
I'm afraid that even if he can really calm down the matter, he won't have a good opinion of this kind of firearms, and he might even issue a ban on firearms.
I wonder what Zhu Gui would think if he knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking at this time.
Zhu Di thought he had control of the situation. He first killed the King of Qin behind Zhu Di with one shot. The latter didn't have time to react, so he covered his red chest and fell down with a look of disbelief on his face.
Now the imperial garden became even more chaotic.
The other princes and vassal kings were even more frightened. They did not expect that Zhu Xi was serious.
At this time, Zhu Xi even turned around and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, you got this treasure from the person you least want to see, didn't you expect it?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that King Qin was dead, he clenched his fists tightly and his eyes shot out a frightening and fierce light.
"You mean Zhu Gui? Did that kid make this thing? He is indeed not a good person? Could it be that the two of you planned this coup together?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's first instinct was to regard Zhu Gui as Zhu Xi's accomplice. In his opinion, it was not surprising that Zhu Gui did anything ridiculous.
"No, no, no, Father, you think too highly of Zhu Gui. How dare he have the guts? It's true that he researched this firearm, but it was snatched by his son. When he boarded the
As for the throne, I must 'praise' him properly."
Zhu Xi said with a sneer, and then shot the King of Zhou who was lying on the ground shivering with another shot, the look on his face became more and more cruel.
"Father, are you going to decree now that the crown prince and the throne will be passed on to your sons and ministers, or will you wait until your sons and ministers take care of all your princes and grandsons?"
This time he pointed his gun at Zhu Yunwen, a young man standing next to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang directly pulled Zhu Yunwen behind him this time, and said angrily: "Sir, even if you kill me and all the other princes today, you are not qualified to become the emperor."
Zhu Xi sneered and said: "This is wrong. Since Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, can become the emperor through the Xuanwu Gate, what can't he do with his sons? By the way, fourth brother, are you willing to assist me? After all, Yan Di is the kind
Only you are willing to go to this bitter and cold place."
After hearing this, Zhu Di realized why Zhu Di didn't attack him.
It turned out that after he knew that he had no intention of competing for the position of prince, he planned to let him guard the border all the time.
However, even though he understood the other party's thoughts, Zhu Di, who was very thoughtful, chose to turn a deaf ear this time and did not respond to Zhu Di's words.
"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being fourth brother. Originally, you were my biggest threat, but considering your performance today, I can give you a chance, but not everyone else."
While Zhu Xi was speaking, he shot the king of Chu and the king of Qi to death.
The imperial garden was littered with corpses, like a purgatory on earth.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the chair, watched all this with sadness.
He was about to say something when he suddenly heard footsteps.
Then a group of soldiers in red robes suddenly rushed in.
When Zhu Xi saw this, he laughed directly: "Finally we are here, arrest everyone else, I want to see how long the emperor can persist?"
It turned out that these people turned out to be soldiers arranged by Zhu Xi outside the palace.
The sound of his gunshot was a signal, and he secretly bribed the gatekeepers of the palace, so he could enter the imperial garden before the imperial guards.
When everyone in the imperial garden saw this, their hearts were filled with despair.
The soldiers were about to take action when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang standing up directly.
"Let me see who dares?"
This roar caused countless birds to fly in the imperial garden. Even Zhu Tie, who was holding a pistol, couldn't help but take two steps back, with a look of horror on his face.
"Father, please don't force me. You have come to this point because of your stubbornness. My son is the most suitable monarch for the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Xi shouted loudly.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him at all, but looked at the soldiers around him.
"Are you loyal to this traitor, or to me?"
Suddenly, the soldier closest to Zhu Yuanzhang took off his helmet, knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Qianhu Bailu Pavilion of the Jinyi Guards is here to see my emperor."
"Jinyiwei?" Zhu Tie and Zhu Yuanzhang said at the same time.
It's just that their expressions are different.
Then, these soldiers all took off their clothes, revealing Jin Yiwei's iconic flying fish suit.
At the same time, they aimed their weapons at Zhu Xi.
"Haha, Jiang Wei did a good job this time, take down this traitor quickly."
Zhu Yuanzhang finally reacted and his expression finally regained his composure.
"Don't come over here."
Zhu Xi looked horrified, and then he realized that Jin Yiwei had ruined his plan.
Then he pointed his gun at Zhu Yuanzhang.
At this point, he could only take the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang as a hostage.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed: "You traitor, why don't you bow your head?"
Zhu Xi shouted with a ferocious look: "You forced me to do this!"
