Chapter 5 The truth?
The sunlight hits the glass, passes through the glass and hits the pages of the book. The yellowing sunlight and the yellowing pages of the book complement each other beautifully. Gives a sense of tranquility. Zhu Biao was immersed in shock and couldn't extricate himself.
He read Chengzu Benji several times.
My heart was in turmoil, and I couldn't figure out what I was thinking.
Between belief and disbelief.
For a time, the various conflicts with his father were no longer important.
People's interests are also divided into many levels. The conflict between him and his father was actually a political disagreement, which in turn led to a shake in his status. But there is one thing that Zhu Biao is sure of. Although others say that the Tian family has no family ties, Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a farmer and is closer to the family of ordinary people at heart. Therefore, his father, the emperor and his mother were determined not to be so ruthless towards him that they would kill him to death.
Especially the current overseas feudal system. There is no problem in his determination to step down from the position of crown prince and choose a position as king overseas.
But now I’ve seen this. But I don’t think so anymore.
He was actually very good to King Yan Zhu Di. If you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with him over the years. The future is like this. to be honest. Zhu Yunwen had his own faults. Zhu Biao can still forgive Zhu Yunzhen's death. But what he couldn't forgive was Zhu Wengui, the second son of Zhu Yunwen. When he was two years old, Zhu Di entered Nanjing and was imprisoned. When he came out again, he was already an old man of several decades. He spent his whole life in prison and did not even know a cow or a horse.
As for his lineage, he had been under residential surveillance until the middle and late Ming Dynasty when the ban was lifted.
This makes Zhu Biao feel at ease.
They are all sons of our father, and I am the direct heir. Even if Zhu Yunwen was inappropriate. Just find him alone. How come the King of Yan's lineage has been emperor for generations, and my lineage has fallen to this point.
Although Princess Anqing has said it many times. What is written in history does not equal the future. The future has changed.
But the pain is personal. How can Zhu Biao be calm in his heart? He was in He Xi's study. Stayed all night. I didn't sleep a wink all night. Look at your brothers again, and then think about your own death date. For a moment, a sense of urgency came over me.
He's going to do something.
But what to do?
Zhu Biao fell into deep contemplation.
------
In the past two years, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer slept with Queen Ma.
After all, men and women are different, and Queen Ma has gone through menopause. But even if Zhu Yuanzhang is over sixty, he still can't give up the two taels of meat below him.
However, this time after Queen Ma returned to the palace, she reported a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang also went to Kunning Palace to rest.
After the Supreme couple had dinner and sent away the palace maids and eunuchs around them.
Queen Ma hesitated for a long time before saying, "Did I tell the boss about that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused. Said: "What happened?"
Queen Ma said: "This is the origin of He Xi."
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and said, "What? How could you do this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious and angry, so he inevitably spoke much louder.
Empress Ma was a little unreasonable at first, but after hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, she became emboldened and said, "I just said it. What's the matter? Sooner or later, Biao'er will be the one in this world, and sooner or later, you have to tell him. If you don't tell him, will it be possible for you? Zhu Chongba. I want to pass the throne to someone else."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and did not answer.
The couple who have been together for so many years understand each other so well. Zhu Yuanzhang's expression shocked Queen Ma. She stood up suddenly and said, "Why, do you really want to change the prince? It seems that I was wrong."
Zhu Yuanzhang became less and less confident, his voice dropped a few decibels, and he said, "That's not what you meant?"
Queen Ma's face was heavy and she said in a solemn tone: "Then what do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Queen Ma was not an ordinary woman. It’s impossible not to make it clear. He sighed and said: "You know, after seeing so many new things, I always want to do something? It's just Biao'er, I respect my teachers so much."
Empress Ma said: "You said it yourself. Do these rotten scholars know how to be an emperor? Just teach them yourself. It's not too late. If the children are disobedient, just teach them well."
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly shook his head. He said secretly: "You still think Zhu Biao is still the same Zhu Biao more than 20 years ago. No longer."
A person's beliefs throughout his life are affected by his childhood. Especially after the age of thirty, many concepts have become solidified. Few people are flexible enough to accept new things. Perhaps it was because Zhu Yuanzhang dropped out of school as a boy and only had the opportunity to study after he became an adult. In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang is also superior to ordinary people in this matter of learning.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a hard time learning modern knowledge. At least he has understood many modern theories and knowledge systems. But, does everyone have this ability?
no.
Queen Ma just uses things from the future as entertainment.
Zhu Biao respects his teachers, which is certainly a good character. But Zhu Biao follows the rules in many things. It also shows Zhu Biao's conservative side. Zhu Biao was always trying to figure out what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. He also obeyed Song Lian's instructions and was a good student in the eyes of the teacher.
But the problem is that this student is too good.
He and Zhu Yuanzhang's fighting temperaments are actually different. Zhu Biao's heart is much more fragile than Zhu Yuanzhang's.
If you want to be a conservative king, Zhu Biao is qualified.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founding king, did too many things. The second generation of conservative kings only needs to control it and keep it quiet. It's enough for Zhu Biao to do this one thing.
Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that Zhu Biao could not accept many ideas of later generations. After all, in this era, it is too deviant. Zhu Yuanzhang could accept and understand it because he actually had no rules in his heart. He is a pragmatist, as long as it works.
But Zhu Biao is not. There are too many rules and regulations in Zhu Biao's heart, some of which were written by Zhu Yuanzhang, and some of which were written by Confucian sages. After breaking these rules and regulations, Zhu Biao didn't know what to do.
Except for this.
Zhu Yuanzhang was most worried about another thing.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, the boss is too thoughtful and serious. Who do you think can be praised by everyone in the court? Brothers, there is no one who can't say a word of no. If I say a word, the boss will It took me a long time to think about it. After repeated deliberation, it sounds like it is watertight. In fact, in my opinion, this child thinks too much and will hurt Yangshou. You also know that he is within his original lifespan. Don't worry, he takes it seriously. "
After hearing this, Queen Ma was stunned and said, "No, can history be changed? Then they said I died a long time ago. I'm not still alive and well."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. I don’t know how to tell Queen Ma.
Empress Ma followed Zhu Yuanzhang through ups and downs, and also experienced many life and death choices. She is a hero among women. He also takes life and death lightly. To say that you are not afraid of death or worried at all is naturally a lie. I really felt that my death was coming, and Queen Ma might have been anxious at first. But it took a long time. Just looked away.
But Zhu Biao is not like this.
Zhu Biao was a prince since he was born. He has taken care of his younger siblings since he was a child, facing the eyes of the world. A lot of pressure. This resulted in Zhu Biao's current character. He had to overthrow everything he had learned in the first half of his life in one fell swoop. almost impossible. Plus all kinds of other pressures. Compared with the pressure Zhu Yuanzhang put on Zhu Biao.
There's a good chance he won't be able to handle it.
Knowing your own death date is also an invisible pressure. After all, even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare not believe in things in the dark. How good can Zhu Biao be?
If a person feels that he will definitely die. This person might really die.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know the principle, he had seen such things.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Forget it. I know this. I will have a good talk with the boss tomorrow morning."
Although Empress Ma was a little worried, she didn't take it to heart when she heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said. She said, "Okay. Father and son should talk more. Don't get into trouble. Just talk to each other if you have anything to say."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I know. I know."
There was a hint of impatience in his tone. The anxiety deep in my heart has still not been eliminated much. He could only hope he was overthinking it.
