"Father also left a legacy?" Zhu Di's heart sank for a while, and he knew that he would have no chance.
Then he sighed and said, "Did my father, in his will, let his eldest brother inherit the throne?"
Dao Yan nodded and said: "Exactly, Emperor Daxing clearly wrote in his edict that 'Prince Zhu Biaoren is a filial piety to his friends, the world has returned to his heart, and he should ascend to the throne.'"
Be benevolent and filial to friends, the world will return to your heart, it is appropriate to ascend to a high position~
This sentence kept echoing in Zhu Di's mind, and he even felt like he wanted to suffer.
Speaking from my heart, is Zhu Biao wise? Even Zhu Di had to admit that the eldest brother was indeed wise.
But is Zhu Di bad? If he is really worse than his eldest brother, then why would his father say to him more than once, "Among all the princes, are you the most like me?"
However, Zhu Di can only think about these things in his heart now. Now that the overall situation has been decided, his father has let his eldest brother inherit the throne, and no matter what thoughts he has in his mind, it will have no effect.
Even though there were only Zhu Di and Dao Yan here now, Zhu Di smiled reluctantly and said: "Okay, eldest brother is kind. Maybe it will be a good thing for the world if he ascends to the big position."
When Dao Yan heard this, he sneered and said, "Maybe it is true for the world, but it may not be true for the prince."
Zhu Di didn't believe what Dao Yan said. He laughed and shook his head and said, "You have never met my eldest brother, and you don't know what he is like. I know that you are worried that your eldest brother will attack me after he ascends the throne. But I tell you, no. Yes. Big Brother has saved me from danger many times before. If Big Brother really wanted to kill me, I would have just stood by and watched, and I might not be alive today."
Seeing Zhu Di's extraordinary confidence, Dao Yan shook his head slightly and sighed: "The princes are different from each other, and people will change."
Zhu Di disagreed with Dao Yan's words. In his opinion, Dao Yan was wary of his elder brother because he had never been in contact with his elder brother and did not know his kindness. If Dao Yan had the opportunity to see his elder brother, he might change his mind immediately.
Dao Yan saw Zhu Di's nonchalant look, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if His Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince have a deep love for each other, they will not attack the Prince. But what about the people around His Highness the Crown Prince? Could these people be Do you regard the prince as a threat and try every means to remove him?"
"If others don't say it, let's talk about Han Du. This man is cunning and scheming. He has never had a good impression of the prince. From the first time the prince met him, he was wary of the prince. Several times. When I came to Peiping, I even wanted to find out the truth about the prince. If the prince hadn't mentioned that he was prepared, he might have found out all the details about the prince."
"This Han Du has an extremely close relationship with the prince, and the prince even obeys his words. If he stays with the prince, under the influence of influence over time, will the prince definitely trust you as he did before? Will he still care about you and the prince? Brotherly love?"
Zhu Di fell silent immediately.
He himself was not a kind-hearted person like Zhu Biao, so naturally he could not understand Zhu Biao's thoughts. On the contrary, Zhu Di was born cunning and fierce, like a wolf. People like him only judge others by themselves. Putting himself in Zhu Biao's shoes, what would he do if he encountered such a thing?
Within a moment, Zhu Di's eyes revealed a fierce and bloody taste.
If Zhu Di encounters someone who threatens him, the natural answer would be: "Kill them all to avoid future troubles!"
When Dao Yan saw the change in Zhu Di's eyes, he smiled slightly in his heart. He knew that he had successfully aroused the ferocious and cruel side of Zhu Di's heart. As long as this thought comes together, it will be like a seed, slowly opening a crack in the brotherhood behind Zhu Di and Zhu Biao. And, as time goes by, this rift will grow wider and wider until the brotherhood between them falls apart.
With a sad look on his face, Daoyan took out something from his arms that could make the final decision.
"This is the last edict of Emperor Daxing. Your Majesty hoped that His Highness the Crown Prince would take care of the brotherhood. But I didn't expect that even Emperor Daxing was on guard against Your Majesty!"
Zhu Di looked shocked when he heard this and snatched the paper away. He opened it suddenly and looked over with wide eyes.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Zhu Di simply couldn't believe that his father would issue such a last edict. Especially when he saw the sentence "When kings come to the country, they do not go to the capital", he wanted to pluck this sentence from the paper with his eyes. Even if he crushed this sentence into pieces, it would still be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart!
"This is not my father's edict, it's not my father's edict, right?" Zhu Biao's eyes were so red that it made people feel extremely scary, and he stared at Dao Yan.
Dao Yan shook his head and sighed: "The edict is issued to the world. If the prince does not believe the poor monk, the prince can wait for a few days and he will know when the time comes."
Zhu Di also understood that it was impossible for Dao Yan to deceive him about such a matter. Does that mean that his father actually issued such a will? Why do all the kings come to the country and not come to the capital? To put it bluntly, this is to guard against him, the King of Yan, who has a heavy army.
In fact, it was just a matter of naming him.
Suddenly, Zhu Di seemed to have had all his strength taken away from him. His burly and powerful body could not even stand, and he suddenly fell back to the chair.
Zhu Di began to feel dazed. He couldn't understand. His father had always admired him in the past and he had always followed his father's requirements. How could his father be wary of him in the end?
"Why, why is this? Father, what did I do wrong? Why should I treat my son like this?" Zhu Di fell to his knees and cried to himself in the direction of the capital.
He really didn't understand what he had done wrong to make his father treat him like this.
Before that, Zhu Di was still a child with full filial piety towards his father. But when he learned that day that his father had issued such a decree specifically to guard against him, he felt nothing but reluctance!
He is one of his father's best sons. His father has told him more than once that his courage, courage, and ability are all the most like his father.
Originally, the position of prince should be his, but due to the rule of "establishing the direct descendant but not the elder", Zhu Di missed the throne.
It's okay to miss him. The eldest brother Zhu Biao is also very capable and treats him well. Zhu Di can accept it.
But why, why did even his father be suspicious of him? Even his father is suspicious of him, but what about Zhu Biao? In this case, does he really have a way to survive?
When Dao Yan saw that the fire was coming, he immediately pulled Zhu Di up from the ground. Staring into Zhu Di's eyes face to face, he said loudly: "Your Majesty is right! If you have to say that Your Majesty is wrong, it is that Your Majesty should not have tens of thousands of troops, should not be too outstanding, and should not be with the Daxing Emperor. Almost the same skills!”
After Zhu Di heard this, his expression gradually calmed down and became calm. Ordinary people could not see the anger on his face.
After a long silence, Zhu Di said quietly: "I never thought that leading troops outside would be jealous of my elder brother. If I hand over my military power and return to the capital to be an idle prince, will I be able to spend the rest of my life in peace?"
Dao Yan lowered his eyes, nodded, and said in agreement: "Yes, why not? But I'm afraid it's not enough for the prince to hand over his military power. What people are afraid of is the prince's ability. If the prince doesn't hand over his ability, others will How can you be reassured? Especially Han Du, he will definitely not be reassured."
When Zhu Di heard this, his face suddenly darkened. How can he show off his abilities? There was no way to hand it over. In other words, he had no other option except resisting to the end.
Since someone wants my life, let’s do it!
Having made a decision in his heart, Zhu Di immediately bowed solemnly to Dao Yan and said sincerely: "Master, please save me!"
Seeing that Zhu Di finally showed his ambition, Daoyan nodded with satisfaction. Pretending to be frightened, he quickly stretched out his arms to support Zhu Di, and said sincerely: "I don't dare to be so generous to the prince. Since the poor monk has committed himself to the prince, he must repay the prince. It is the duty of the poor monk to share the prince's worries. "
Zhu Di didn't really want to bow down. The person he admired most in his life was his father, but even his father had to be wary of him. This has broken Zhu Di's heart. Now no one can restrain him, and no one can stand on his head.
But Zhu Di's performance made Dao Yan extremely satisfied. King Yan was very capable and ambitious, and he was not a law-abiding person at all. As long as such a character has the right opportunity, it is not impossible for him to soar into the sky!
Seeing that Zhu Di and Dao Yan had already confessed their feelings, he stopped pretending and sat down on the chair safely. He glanced sideways at Dao Yan and asked in a deep voice: "Master, what do you think this king should do now?"
Dao Yan stopped being secretive and said directly: "It is better to be still than to move. Your Majesty, it is better to pretend not to know about this matter and wait and see what happens."
Zhu Di frowned when he heard this. If he said it sounded good, he would just wait and see what happened. If he said it badly, he would do nothing. This was not the answer he wanted, so he asked again: "Master, do you think there will be changes in the near future?"
"Exactly." Dao Yan nodded firmly.
Zhu Di originally just asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that Dao Yan actually thought that there would be variables.
“Where do the variables come from?”
Dao Yan confidently picked up the paper Zhu Di put on the coffee table, spread it out in front of Zhu Di, and tapped his fingers on the sentence "When kings come to the country, they will not go to the capital".
"That's where the variables lie."
Zhu Di stared blankly at the words "Kings come to the country and do not go to the capital", then looked up at Dao Yan, not understanding what he meant.
