Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

"Kai'er, you go back first!"

Zhu Qiyuan winked frequently at Zhu Kai.

Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Houzhao, and then at Zhu Qiyuan. He knew that his father and grandfather had something to talk about, so he turned and left immediately.

When Zhu Kai's back disappeared before his eyes, Zhu Qiyuan asked directly: "Father, what happened?"

From the moment Zhu Houzhao proposed to abdicate, he realized that something was wrong, and the death list made him confirm his conjecture.

Zhu Houzhao's various actions are not as simple as abdicating, but more like preparing for the affairs behind him.

He couldn't figure it out, with Zhu Houzhao Da Luo Jinxian's superb cultivation, what else could threaten Zhu Houzhao's life?

Zhu Houzhao looked at his son silently, and finally said quietly after a long time: "I'll tell you the truth, Dad, I won't live long!"

"During the rise of Ming Dynasty, there were many great powers working behind the scenes, and now it's time to repay the debt!"

Then, he told Zhu Qiyuan everything about the catastrophe of Chaos' return to the ruins, including himself, as the person who responded to the catastrophe, who was going to respond to the catastrophe with his own body and put an end to the turmoil.

The collision between the real world and the illusory world will create a crack in the ruins, and his role is to fill the gap in the ruins, so that the real world and the illusory world will merge into one.

If the cracks in the ruins cannot be filled, the heavens collapse, and everything returns to nothingness, then all the heavens will be destroyed.

Not for repaying the debt, but just to protect his Daming, and he has no room to escape.

"How could this be?"

Zhu Qiyuan turned pale with shock, unbelievable.

The catastrophe of Chaos Returning to the Ruins, and his own father was about to respond to the catastrophe, this was too shocking for him, and it left him at a loss and powerless.

Zhu Houzhao said with a faint smile: "There is no need to worry about me, all this is just a cycle of cause and effect."

"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If there is one, the price has already been marked."

"Da Ming has grown up to now, and has received a lot of powerful secret help. All of these need to be repaid, and it is impossible not to repay."

He could see it, and went to respond to the disaster with his body. Even if he was a Daluo Jinxian, he would die cleanly and never have a chance of resurrection, but he was fearless.

He had seen through death a long time ago, and there was nothing to be afraid of, but before he died, he had no intention of obediently dying.

He has always been the only one who schemes against others, and anyone who uses him as a pawn will seriously offend his arrogance, and he will not just laugh it off.

Glancing at Zhu Qiyuan who looked sad, Zhu Houzhao found a little comfort in his heart.

Although the birth of Zhu Qiyuan and Zhu Qinghuang was also a calculation, it was a big way for those powerful people to force him to deal with the catastrophe, but he did not regret it, at least he did not cut off his children and grandchildren, and even made the foundation of the country wedding dress.

"Life is difficult, like a long river that flows endlessly. Although there is an ambition to go east to the sea, the process is slow and the journey is difficult."

"The rivers and rivers will eventually flow into the sea, but the aspirations of life are often difficult to realize."

Putting aside unnecessary distracting thoughts in my mind, I poured out my ambitions to Zhu Qiyuan: "When I was young, I was at the top of the world, and I always wanted to do something big and achieve imperial power. For this reason, I hardly dared to do anything. Do it."

"Those standing in front of me, civil servants, dignitaries, literati, all forces in the world, whoever dares to disobey my will, I dare to bury them in hell."

"Ruthless and cold-blooded are the evaluations of me by everyone. People in the world fear me, fear me, fear me, and hate me, including your grandmother."

Zhu Qiyuan listened quietly to Zhu Houzhao's confession. He knew that Zhu Houzhao didn't need any pity, he only needed someone who could listen to his heart.

"On the way to establish the supreme imperial power, I have gained a lot and lost a lot. I have had joy and anger, but most of them are still at the top."

"Great talents like Emperor Taizu Hongwu, arrogant and brave like Emperor Taizong Yongle, all of them were defeated by me. I used to think that I was great, with imperial power in my hands, life and death, and everything in my hands."

"But in the end, I'm just a pawn on someone else's chessboard, so what should I be proud of?"

Zhu Houzhao laughed at himself slightly. He was arrogant and domineering all his life, and he claimed that he was not weaker than anyone, but he was calculated so that he had to respond to the robbery. He was actually a loser.

He took a deep look at Zhu Qiyuan again. Without the existence of the two brothers and sisters Zhu Qiyuan and Zhu Qinghuang, he probably would not have responded to the robbery obediently. At worst, he would fight to the death and the net would be broken. After I die, he will be flooded.

But Zhu Qiyuan and Zhu Qinghuang are his only ties in the world. He has no choice but to live for the sake of a pair of children for the sake of the heavens and all beings.

Those mighty ones, their tricks are really good, they beat Feixue to death with one blow, they want to struggle, but they don't know which direction to go.

"father"

Staring at Zhu Houzhao in a daze, Zhu Qiyuan wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, his eyes were full of guilt.

He also guessed a bit of the truth, knowing that he and his sister held back Zhu Houzhao's footsteps.

With Zhu Houzhao's disposition, if there is no bond between him and Zhu Qinghuang, he will certainly not sit and wait for death.

"I will handle this matter, you don't have to worry about it, what you have to do is to bring Daming to its peak."

"Da Ming is the painstaking effort of my whole life. I hope that in the next era, Da Ming can stand upright in the heavens without falling, and plant the dragon banner of Daming all over the sky."

Zhu Houzhao suppressed the bit of unwillingness in his heart, and regained his calm and wise posture.

He is Emperor Taiwu of the Ming Dynasty, with tough methods, ruthless indifference, how could he show his weak side and make people laugh for nothing.

Zhu Qiyuan was silent, with mixed emotions in his heart, his own father was about to die, how could he be happy.

Even if he ascended the throne, so what?

"For Changsun Wuji, let me remind you again, it can be used, but it cannot be reused."

"If the eldest grandson Wuji takes power, my grandsons will never do well."

"This person's mind is full of revitalizing the family, putting the interests of the family above the imperial power. If he is allowed to gain power, he will definitely intervene in the change of the imperial power."

"Kai'er is too much like me, so he doesn't have much affection for the family. The eldest grandson Wuji probably won't support him."

"Zhu Lie's three boys have their own interests, and they don't desire power. If one of them is supported, the eldest grandson Wuji can monopolize the power."

"In order to prevent the next generation from killing each other for imperial power, remember not to give the eldest grandson Wuji the opportunity to climb to a high position."

"When necessary, kill!"

Zhu Houzhao has finished paving the way for Zhu Qiyuan, and now it is the turn of the grandson Zhu Kai.

Zhu Kai's road to the top, the biggest obstacle is not the kings, let alone all the forces in the world, but Changsun Wuji.

What Changsun Wuji needs is a weak and incompetent king who is easy to control, and Zhu Kai was trained and taught by Zhu Houzhao, and was called "Yinguo like me" by Zhu Houzhao, which definitely does not meet Changsun Wuji's requirements.

Although the incident did not happen, Zhu Houzhao could already predict that in order to achieve the goal of revitalizing the family, Changsun Wuji would inevitably choose to support Zhu Lie, Zhu Xiao or Zhu Ming who had gone astray.

This is not alarmist talk, but something that is very likely to happen. Zhu Kai is not easy to control, but Zhu Lie who likes to do business, Zhu Xiao who is dedicated to practicing swords, and Zhu Ming who studies alchemy are much easier to fool.

If Zhu Qiyuan and his eldest grandson Wugou hadn't been worried, Zhu Houzhao would definitely get rid of his eldest grandson Wuji, so that there would never be future troubles. However, Zhu Qiyuan still needs his eldest grandson Wugou's company in his future journey, so he can only suspend his murderous intentions.
