King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 250 The Overlord's Deal
In fact, Zhu Xinkan really thought too much, and Zhu Xianming had no intention of supporting Zhu Jinghong.

The prince is the foundation of the country. Although Zhu Jinghong has made a lot of progress, he is reckless and illiterate. No matter how he looks at it, he has nothing to do with the prince.

As long as he, Zhu Xianming, is not stupid, it is impossible to have such an idea, unless the two sons-in-law are all gone.

Now let him torment, but use his tricky skills.

"Fourth, why are you nervous... I just said it casually!" Zhu Xinkan still spoke calmly.

But Zhu Xianming said indifferently: "Father, don't say something casually, causing trouble is not good for everyone!"

The Holy Birthday is approaching, the conversation between the father and son is like an enemy, it is really meaningless when you think about it carefully.

"Yeah... causing trouble is indeed not good for everyone, especially it is easy to provoke infamy!"

Zhu Xianming could clearly feel that the atmosphere of this meeting was different from the past, and that his father had said too much today.

The most important thing is that the topic tonight is still taboo, which makes Zhu Xianming even more uncomfortable.

If the old man is ignorant of current affairs, he will have to make plans in advance on the Shengshou Festival tomorrow...

Facing the crazy thoughts in his heart, Zhu Xianming felt a little uneasy.

"Fourth, do you think... I'm crazy?" Zhu Xinkan said in a deep voice.

"Father's words today really puzzle me!"

At this moment, Zhu Xianming's gaze was cold, and the hall was filled with murderous aura.

Feeling the familiar atmosphere back then, Zhu Xinkan suddenly asked: "Fourth brother, you have been emperor for ten years..."

Looking at his father who spoke slowly, Zhu Xianming gradually calmed down, he had prepared for the worst, and now he was able to talk to his father calmly.

"Over the years, you have done a good job on that chair, at least much better than me. Looking at the ancient and modern emperors, you are also one of the best!"

Now he is boasting about himself, what is the purpose of the old man?
"The territory laid down by the ancestors will be consolidated in your hands, and the unruly barbarians will be subdued again under your conquest..."

"In the past ten years, you have built the Great Wall through the canal, and Buende has been everywhere, taught and transformed the world, and all barbarians have conquered all nations and come to court..."

"Such achievements are comparable to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang..."

The more exaggerated the more outrageous, what is the purpose of the old man?
Zhu Xianming murmured in his heart, but he felt comfortable having to say these words because they came from the former emperor's father.

However, at the next moment, Zhu Xinkan said emotionally; "It's a pity...you are only a little away from being an emperor through the ages!"

Although his curiosity was aroused, Zhu Xianming still asked casually: "I don't know what's wrong!"

Zhu Xinkan was silent for a few breaths, then met his son's eyes, and replied: "It's still short of a good reputation!"

At this moment, Zhu Xianming's eyes became more murderous.

He was already thinking about who incited the Supreme Emperor to say these words before the Shengshou Festival to deliberately embarrass himself.

Ignoring Zhu Xianming's thoughts, Zhu Xinkan went on to say: "No matter how you covered up those things back then, you couldn't escape the public..."

Seeing that the old man's words became more and more outrageous, Zhu Xianming couldn't help but look around. Fortunately, there were no other people serving in the hall, and these taboo words were not afraid of being heard.

"Even if you make the orthodox canon the number one book in ancient and modern times, I'm afraid people in the world won't remember that you are the successor..."

"Father, my patience is limited!" Zhu Xianming threatened.

"Fourth, Dad won't live long!"

Not long to live means to take life and death lightly, which is to tell Zhu Xianming that threats are useless.

The vain look in his eyes faded away, and Zhu Xinkan's gaze was like a torch and he said: "But your stain... I can wash it off for you before I die!"

This made Zhu Xianming interested, so he asked, "How to clean it?"

"From today onwards, I can personally tell the subjects of the world that what happened back then... was the boss's intention to rebel, and you are ordered to seek a thief!"

Since the abdication of the Supreme Emperor, he has been isolated from the inside and outside. Zhu Xianming has always been the leader in determining the nature of the Donghuamen Incident.

Without Zhu Xinkan's own endorsement, the series of crimes committed by Zhu Xianming can be regarded as self-talk.

And if the old emperor is willing to cooperate, then the situation will be different, and the credibility will reach its peak.

"Father...you suddenly said that, I'm afraid there are conditions!" Zhu Xianming looked thoughtful.

Sighing, Zhu Xinkan replied: "My conditions are precisely for your sake!"

"Let's hear it!" Zhu Xianming was still indifferent.

Speaking of the most critical point, Zhu Xinkan became more peaceful: "You must pardon the officials and descendants who were convicted at the beginning, stop suppressing Wu Xun who was at odds with you back then, and show your emperor's broad-mindedness and tolerance of everything!"

Zhu Xianming hadn't thought about this kind of behavior at all, and when he heard it suddenly, he became suspicious.

"Could it be that those people who were suppressed poured ecstasy soup on my head? What do they want to do?"

Sensing Zhu Xianming's suspicion, Zhu Xinkan explained: "Fourth... I have been staying in Ningshou Palace, no one has come to tell me these things, you can put away your suspicions!"

"I was responsible for what happened back then, which caused many people to lose their lives. Now that I say this... I just want to make amends before I die!"

"You and I, father and son, each take what they need, what do you think?"

From the beginning to the end, Zhu Xianming stared at the old man, at least judging by his city, he didn't find anything different from the old man.

"Father...you are confused!" Zhu Xianming said this sentence.

But Zhu Xinkan smiled and said: "Don't be confused...you know it well!"

"Tomorrow is the holy birthday of all nations, but it is a good time for you and my father to be kind and filial. You should think about it!"

For Zhu Xianming, power and status are at their peak, and wealth means little to him, so what he can pursue is posthumous fame.

Over the years, he has repaired the Grand Ceremony, sent troops to conquer the north and south to open up the territory... in order to cover up his crimes with his meritorious deeds, in essence, he is still for the sake of fame.

So Zhu Xinkan's words tonight are extremely attractive to him.

If the old man is really willing to fully cooperate, then the biggest stain in his life may be washed away.

When the Supreme Emperor endorses it, all the subjects of the world will believe that he is ordered to seek thieves and inherit the throne according to the order.

"It's too boring here, son go out for a walk!"

Zhu Xinkan said with a smile: "Go, just come back with a banquet at noon!"

………………

When Zhu Xianming got up to leave, Zhu Jinghong had already arrived at Wucheng Bingma Division and sat in Qiu Liang's seat.

Playing with the command arrow in his hand, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "Qiu knows that there are 69 culprits, including 430 and eight members of his henchmen, and today they will be wiped out...how sure are you?"

Qiu Liang replied respectfully: "Master Thirteen, if Nan Qianhu leads you well, even if you want to come, you won't be able to escape!"

This is quite interesting. Li Wenzhao put all the responsibility on Li Wenzhao. If he ran away, Jin Yiwei would have no way to lead him.

This guy Qiu Liang looks like a simple rich man, but he is actually a very smart man.

As soon as Qiu Liang finished speaking, soldiers came in to report where and who had been caught.

This is already the number 20 people who have come to report, so Zhu Jinghong has a grasp of the progress of the mission, and he is completely acting as a radio here.

The reason why he ran out was naturally selfish.

It's because he knows very well that if he appears in Ningshou Palace now, he will inevitably be entangled by his two elder brothers, and it will be difficult to be a man at that time.

In the past, during the Shengshou Festival, he would not buy it from anyone, but this year he can't be like this again, so he simply ran out of the palace to hide.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't force it, which saved him a lot of talking.
