In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, April 25th, Nanjing City.
Snow was falling in April, and a sad atmosphere enveloped the entire East Palace.
The servants all walked in a hurry and looked sad.
The world in front of me gradually became clear from blur.
He found himself in an antique room.
There is a rosewood stand next to the carved window, with a small copper firestick burning incense on it, emitting a faint fragrance.
Turning my eyes again, I saw the intricately carved and luxurious wooden chairs, the profound screen paintings, the simple and exquisite lampshades...
"Where am I?"
He rubbed his groggy head and muttered to himself.
Lowering his head, what he saw was a pair of small hands of a seven or eight-year-old child.
"What...what's going on?"
There was a buzz in my head, and I took three steps and two steps at a time, and reached the bronze mirror beside the runway.
"this is me?"
He looked at himself in the mirror in disbelief.
In the mirror was a little boy of seven or eight years old, dressed in fine clothes.
She was born fair and clean, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.
He is not very old, but he has a faint aura that is different from ordinary children.
He seems to be someone who has been in a high position for a long time.
"ah……"
Suddenly, I feel like I have an unusual headache.
Then, an overwhelming memory came over me.
After a long while, I finally understood.
It turns out that he traveled through time.
It is now the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu.
And his identity is Zhu Yunzhen, the fourth son of Prince Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty.
This year, he was seven years old.
Although he had thought about time travel countless times in his previous life, when time travel really came, he really couldn't accept it for a while.
A whole new world.
A whole new identity.
He sat there and said nothing for a long time.
Time passed, and I don’t know how long it took.
He repeatedly confirmed that it was really time travel and he could never go back to the past.
Finally gradually accepted his new identity.
Fortunately, it's not that bad, at least he is a grandson of the emperor.
"Wait a minute, the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu..." Zhu Yunxi suddenly seemed to remember something.
"April 25, the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu...isn't it the day when Prince Zhu Biao dies?"
Prince Zhu Biao fell ill not long ago and his health is getting worse...
And today…
This thought had just come to his mind, and before he was given much time to think about it, there was a sound of the door being pushed behind him.
Zhu Yunzhen turned around and saw a servant with a sad face, suppressing his tears, kneeling on the ground and saying: "The fourth emperor's grandson, it's not good... His Highness the Crown Prince, he... has died!"
Goosebumps suddenly appeared on Zhu Yunzhen's body.
Is this the beginning?
He had just traveled through time, so naturally he wasn't too disturbed by the death of Cheap Lao Tzu.
But to avoid arousing suspicion, he still pretended to be shocked and said: "Bold, you, you dare to talk nonsense, be careful I will ask my father to chop off your head!"
Zhu Yunxuan recalled the children who had lost their loved ones he had seen in his previous life.
He deliberately frowned, letting tears well up in his eyes, making himself look truly unbearably sad.
Although it is impossible for anyone to see through such a thing as time travel.
But if you behave abnormally, you may receive some not-so-good "special treatment" in feudal society.
He had just come to this world, he couldn't figure out the situation and couldn't mess around.
"Your Highness the Fourth Emperor, I didn't lie!" The servant cried: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed been buried in heaven, right in the front hall!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunzhen ignored the servants and immediately ran towards the front hall.
"There's going to be chaos now!"
To say that I wasn't nervous would be a lie.
In April of the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Biao died of illness.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang established Zhu Biao's second son Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson.
Six years later, Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness.
Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and was given the reign title Jianwen.
In the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, King of Yan Zhu Di, rebelled and invaded Nanjing. Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts are unknown.
Zhu Yunxian was also demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in Fengyang.
Since then, he has spent his entire life in captivity.
awful!
awful!
awful!
I thought that by traveling through time and becoming a prince, I could live a good life for a few days and enjoy the happiness of being a master.
But I didn't expect that it would be much worse than ordinary people.
"No, no, I absolutely cannot let this happen. I want to change..."
Zhu Yunzhen murmured to himself.
As a time traveler, he knows where everything is going.
However, it is not easy to forcefully change the trajectory of history.
What's more, he is only a seven-year-old child now.
Now that Zhu Biao is dead, the seeds of the Jingnan War have been quietly planted.
Germination and growth are just a matter of time.
"We must do something before anything happens!"
After traveling through time, he didn't want to be demoted to a commoner, nor did he want to abandon his wealth and wealth and spend his whole life in captivity.
"We cannot let Zhu Yunwen become the emperor's grandson!"
This idea suddenly came to Zhu Yunzhen's mind.
Zhu Yunwen is a guy who can't support the wall with mud.
A large part of the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang named him the emperor's grandson was because of his feelings for Zhu Biao.
If he is allowed to inherit the throne as the prince, he will not be able to control the officials at all, and will not be able to intimidate the vassal king. Sooner or later, Xiao Qiang will be in trouble.
Then, fight for yourself?
no!
Zhu Yunzhen quickly rejected this idea.
First of all, he is only seven years old now and has no power. How can he fight with others?
Secondly, on identity?
The eldest brother Zhu Xiongying died of illness at the age of eight, and the second brother Zhu Yunwen is the eldest.
Not to mention the third brother Zhu Yunxi, who was born to the concubine Chang.
Since ancient times, it has been the principle of establishing direct descendants rather than concubines, and establishing elders rather than virtuous people.
Even if he could defeat Zhu Yunwen from the Prince's Mansion, how could he defeat those proponents of rules in the court?
How to fight against Yan King Zhu Di?
Can't fight at all.
If Zhu Yunzhen was an adult now, he might give it a try.
But a seven-year-old child...
It's better to hide one's strength and bide one's time, and then talk about it first.
Besides, being the emperor of Ming Dynasty is very tiring.
Thousands of miles of country, huge responsibilities.
He worked hard every day and night, reviewing memorials, and fighting wits and courage with ministers.
Where can the idle prince be comfortable?
Enjoyment is the essence of life.
Lying flat is the most beautiful pursuit in life!
A snowflake fell on his cheek, and the cool feeling made Zhu Yunxuan wake up a little.
"If you want to change your destiny, the best way at the moment is to make King Yan the crown prince!"
As soon as this idea came up, it spread to every corner of my heart like a creeper.
"Yes! King Zhu Di of Yan, as long as he becomes the prince, he can change everything!"
Zhu Yunzhen thought as he walked.
Let Zhu Di become the prince, which will bring no harm to him.
First of all, it can keep you safe.
If Zhu Di becomes the prince and successfully inherits the throne, there will be no subsequent battle of Jingnan.
If his uncle and nephew had not rebelled against each other, then Zhu Di would not have imprisoned him.
There is no need to gain a bad reputation for no reason.
Zhu Di would definitely be happy to raise an idle prince.
Secondly, Zhu Yunxuan was not interested in being emperor.
When the emperor has to deal with many things and is exhausted, why bother?
Support Zhu Di to ascend to the throne and let him do the dirty work while he becomes a free prince.
Isn’t it good to travel around mountains and rivers every day and have fun?
So delicious!
However, this process is not destined to be easy.
Everyone knows that among his many sons and daughters, Zhu Yuanzhang prefers Zhu Biao.
Love the house and the bird.
Zhu Biao was dead, so it was logical for Zhu Yuanzhang to establish his son.
Not to mention the matter of establishing a crown prince, which involves the country's foundation, is it not a trivial matter?
It is definitely not a simple matter to want Lao Zhu to make Zhu Di the prince.
And don't act too hastily, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang will suspect his little thoughts, and it will be more difficult to do things in the future.
"Nothing in the world is difficult, only those who are willing to do so! Nothing in the world is difficult, only those who are willing to do so!"
Zhu Yunzhen said to himself over and over again.
strong determination.
Anyway, knowing how things are going, all he has to do is to hold on and wait for the opportunity to take its turn.
Thinking like this, Zhu Yunzhen came to the front hall without knowing it.
Zhu Biao lay quietly on the recliner with his eyes closed, his handsome face expressionless, as if he was asleep.
Beside Zhu Biao, his mother Lu was holding Zhu Yunwen in her arms, with tears streaming down her face.
"Xi'er..."
Seeing Zhu Yunzhen coming, Madam Lu cried even more unbearably, tears almost bursting from her eyes.
"Mother..." Zhu Yunzhen squeezed his throat hard to make his voice sound extremely dry.
Although he had no feelings for his cheap parents, he was still a relative after all. Blood was thicker than water, and Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.
He walked forward carefully, stretched out his little hand and gently wiped away the tears on his mother's face, and said: "Mom... don't cry, don't cry..."
While speaking, Zhu Yunzhen's tears remained in his eyes.
"Hey!" Lu couldn't bear it any longer, hugged him in her arms, and cried bitterly.
Zhu Yunzhen knew that if he wanted what he said to have weight, the more at this time, the more calm he had to be.
But you can't be too calm, after all, you are just a child.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi whispered in a tearful voice: "Mom, don't cry, I will protect you from now on."
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"Boss, boss!" An old dragon-like voice came into his ears.
"See Your Majesty!"
"See Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yunxuan's heart moved, Zhu Yuanzhang is here!
