Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 518 Do you dare?

As everyone expected, King Wu's family returned to the capital as quickly as possible, whether it was Zhu Gaoxu's family or Zhu Zhanhe who traveled to Yunnan alone.

The Empress Dowager passed away. No matter who it was, as long as it was time to come back, they must come back.

Zhu Zhanhe was wearing regular clothes, his left hand was clasped behind his back, and he picked up the hem of his clothes with his right hand, and walked up to Danbi in front of the Yangxin Hall one step at a time.

Today's Hall of Mental Cultivation is very different from the Hall of Mental Cultivation when he left.

Except for the walls and furniture, almost all other colored things have been removed. The only thing that comes into view is black and white. In addition, there are a large number of ice trays placed around the coffin.

Walking to the coffin, Zhu Zhanhe stood still, took the incense candle handed by the palace maid, placed it on the candle and lit it, then respectfully knelt on the futon in front of the coffin, saluted and offered incense.

After offering incense and candles, Zhu Zhanhe stood up, looked at the coffin in front of him, and let out a long sigh.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanhe admired many people, but not many women.

So far, the ones he hasn't seen don't count. Among the women he has seen with his own eyes, he only admires two.

The first one is his subordinate Zhu Sanfeng, and the second one is the Empress Dowager Zhang.

"Auntie...do you have any unfulfilled wishes before you leave?"

Zhu Zhanhe said such a sentence carelessly, making people feel as if he was talking to the coffin in front of him.

but……

"Unfulfilled wish..." Sun Ruowei walked out from the side with a sinister look on her face.

"She has, can you finish it?"

"Oh?" Zhu Zhanhe's mouth curled up.

"Are you sure you are talking about aunt's unfulfilled wish?"

……

Sun Ruowei was silent when he heard this.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than ten years, Zhang knew Sun Ruowei very well, so she responded quickly after the poisoning.

Similarly, Sun Ruowei also knew her mother-in-law very well.

Although she was very angry that Zhang, as her mother-in-law, always looked down upon her and thought that she could not take care of her son, she had to admit that she could not refute Zhu Zhanhe's words.

It was precisely because of her dissatisfaction that her mother-in-law thought that she could not take care of Zhu Qizhen, so her mother-in-law always swallowed her anger.

Because in her mother-in-law's heart, she not only pretends to be her grandson's future, but also pretends to be the future of Ming Dynasty.

Sun Ruowei knew that even if someone could psychic and bring her mother-in-law's soul back, the result would definitely not be the one she wanted.

"Sister-in-law, remember this." Seeing that Sun Ruowei remained silent, the smile on Zhu Zhanhe's face became even brighter.

"As a human being, you must not flatter yourself. Don't move yourself and think that you have moved everyone at the same time, because in fact no one may be able to empathize with you."

"It seems that you keep saying that you are for Qi Zhen, but in reality? You just feel annoyed because your cousin has been overpowered by me all this time, and you are overwhelmed by Shanshu's sister."

"Auntie is right to be worried. A woman full of resentment cannot bring up an outstanding son."

"What about you? Aren't you enjoying yourself?" Sun Ruowei not only didn't lower her head when she heard this, but instead returned the favor with a sneer on her face.

"You have been fighting for years, and the people have been miserable. Aren't you the only one who thinks you are doing it for the Ming Dynasty? Go out of the palace and ask, how many people are not full of resentment for your years of war?"

"Oh? Really?" Zhu Zhanhe didn't care at all, but was full of ridicule.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay to be like you in life, but as the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty, you started from the grandson concubine, passed through the crown prince, empress, and finally became the empress dowager. This vision is too narrow, right? ?”

"Do you think the opinions of the people in the Central Plains are of reference to me?"

Sun Ruowei was startled when he heard this.

She didn't react for a moment, because people's hearts have been extremely important since ancient times, and can even be said to be a measure of the longevity of a dynasty.

But now, Zhu Zhanhe says that people's hearts have no reference.

"Cousin, this is where you are inferior to your eldest aunt." Zhu Zhanhe looked at the coffin in front of him with a bit of respect on his face.

"Do you know why my eldest aunt endures it again and again? Even though King Wu's lineage has taken over Shuntian and has become the de facto leader of the Ming Dynasty, she still remains unmoved?"

"Because aunt not only knows that you have no chance of winning, but also knows that you don't know, or it can be said that you have been selectively ignoring it."

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanhe turned his head, his face serious, staring at Sun Ruowei, and spoke almost word by word.

"Me! Zhu Zhanhe! I won't say that my achievements are eternal, but I definitely far surpass my grandfather and my great-great-grandfather!"

"I have been fighting for eighteen years, and I have never used a single ounce of the Ming Dynasty's national power, a soldier, or a grain of food!"

"The soldiers are from Uzangdusi and Nanzhou Prefecture; the food is produced by Xiangzhou Prefecture and Nanzhou Prefecture, and even the fleet was later built in Xiangzhou Prefecture. The ocean-going treasure fleet of the City Shipping Department Until last year, it was still bringing power to all countries for the Ming Dynasty."

"Even, even more than half of the grain stored in the treasury of Daming is saved because I have asked people to find new grain."

"You have come all the way from being a concubine, so you don't know about the daimyo's finances during my grandfather's reign and when my eldest uncle was the prince overseeing the country, right?"

"I won't say it's Yin eating Mao grain, but there won't be much leftover grain!"

Having said this, seeing the panic and unwillingness on Sun Ruowei's face, Zhu Zhanhe slowly stood up straight and bowed again to the coffin of the Empress Dowager.

"In terms of development, perhaps I am not as successful as Emperor Taizu Gao in founding the country, but in terms of opening up territories, I dare say that even the emperors of Qin and Han, as well as the ancestors of Tang and Song Dynasties, are not as vast as the territory I opened up alone. "

"In terms of governing the country, I didn't use a single soldier or a grain of wheat from the Ming Dynasty in the war. I even found new grains and increased the overall grain output of the Ming Dynasty by at least three times."

"Do you think the eldest aunt doesn't want to help Qi Zhen secure the throne and become the real emperor? She doesn't dare!"

"Because she knows that maybe Qi Zhen has the possibility of surpassing me, but this may be too low, so low that it is almost negligible."

"Once she helps Qi Zhen secure the throne, the development of the Ming Dynasty will be far worse than before. By then, not only the eldest aunt herself, but also Qi Zhen and you, and even all the ministers in the court will prevent the Ming Dynasty from taking off, and even the generals. The culprit who pulled down the clouds and fell into the mud in the Ming Dynasty!”

After saying that, Zhu Zhanhe turned around and glanced at Sun Ruowei with disdain on his face.

"You said it was for orthodoxy, for your cousin, for Qi Zhen..."

"Then let me ask you, my eldest aunt is about to be buried with my eldest uncle in the Xian Mausoleum."

"When sending the spirit away, as my daughter-in-law and as Qi Zhen's mother, you should accompany me."

"When the time comes, do you want to pay homage to my uncle in front of his mausoleum and swear to him that you have no selfish motives and only think about the Ming Dynasty?"

"You dare?"
