Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Chapter 182 The difference between plan and reality

"But on the other hand, father, you must also agree to a condition for me as a son to test Cui Yuan's reward."

When Zhu Biao said these words, Zhu Yuanzhang became anxious.

It’s okay for Cui Yuan, a guy with unknown origins, to impose conditions on himself. Why do you, a brat like you, also impose conditions on us?

"Is it possible... that you are tired of being the prince and want to ascend the throne and become emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was stern, but a hint of joy flashed between his eyebrows.

‘Does your father really want to abdicate? ’

Zhu Biao could only pretend not to see anything and quickly refused: "Father, please calm down, I have no such treasonous thoughts."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face suddenly fell, and he said angrily: "Then what conditions do you want to put forward?"

"Say it first, don't go too far!"

"It won't be too much."

Zhu Biao poured Zhu Yuanzhang a cup of tea and continued: "This matter is mainly about Hu Weiyong's case of corruption and bending the law. I have no objection to my father raiding Hu Weiyong's whole family and deposing him as prime minister."

"However, I am very worried that this matter will involve my mentor's grandson Song Shen..."

Zhu Biao has been loved by Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child. It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang only had two sons in his life, one named Zhu Biao and the other named Others.

When Zhu Yuanzhang first became King of Wu, he made Zhu Biao his eldest son and studied the classics with Song Lian, a great scholar of the time. He was carefully taught by Song Lian since he was a child.

Song Lian had a grandson named Song Shen, who was from Hu Weiyong's faction and had a very good personal relationship with Hu Weiyong.

According to the original historical development, Song Shen would soon be involved in the Hu Weiyong case, causing disaster to Song Lian's family.

Song Shen and Song Lian's second son, Song Zhen, were both executed by law. The murderous Zhu Yuanzhang even wanted to execute Song Lian, but Empress Ma and the Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who realized it later, protected him. Song Lian was spared death and moved to Sichuan instead. Resettlement in Maozhou.

Unfortunately, only the following year, Song Lian, who was lucky enough to survive, died on the way, and a generation of literary stars fell.

Now with the arrival of Cui Yuan, many things have quietly changed.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of doubts, chose to tell Zhu Biao and Queen Ma in advance his true intention to kill Hu Weiyong in order to test the authenticity of Cui Yuan's identity.

Zhu Biao also realized in advance that his mentor Song Lian might be in crisis, so he wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to let Song Lian's family go.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he blew his beard and stared in anger.

I obviously didn't do these things, but Zhu Biao predicted it in advance. It was really frustrating!

In your eyes, your father and I are so murderous and unscrupulous?

However, he finally agreed and was unwilling to disappoint Zhu Biao.

In fact, even Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not notice that although he had been instinctively ignoring Cui Yuan's words about his wife and children dying early, he had always been honest in his actions and did not want Zhu Biao and Queen Ma to be disappointed.

"But don't let us down, you brat!"

"Otherwise, we will not show any mercy when it comes to Hu Weiyong. We will kill whoever needs to be killed. No one will be spared!"

"no problem!"

Zhu Biao is full of confidence.

Not only for his father, but also for his mentor, he will definitely dig out the true details of Cui Yuan!

……

There is a strong festive atmosphere in Yingtian Mansion.

Cui Yuan and Li Shimin, led by Chen Qing, were playing around, watching, and experiencing the Spring Festival customs of the Ming Dynasty. They had no idea about Zhu Biao's upcoming temptation.

But even if he knew, Cui Yuan wouldn't care at all.

The Ming Dynasty will test itself again. This is a sure thing, and there is no need for any speculation at all.

For those who practice fraud, they may feel timid when faced with these temptations, fearing that they will be dismantled.

But Cui Yuan did come from seven hundred years later, and everything he told was the truth. In the end, these so-called temptations would only become evidence to confirm his identity!

"What is this? Why are Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong posted on the door?"

When he walked into a small alley, Li Shimin, who was still indulging in the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty Spring Festival, turned around and was attracted by the stickers on the doors of several houses.

Because they really stand out!

These stickers were painted on red paper, and each one looked very heroic. Li Shimin looked at them in admiration.

"Could it be that the people are worshiping them?"

"I didn't expect that after seven hundred years, the reputation of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty is still being circulated and spread to every household!"

Li Shimin spoke with pride. Even his warriors were treated in this way. Then, as Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't his status be even more noble?

When he thought of this, Li Shimin, who loved fame, burst out laughing.

My dear people of Ming Dynasty are so discerning!

"It's not worship, it's just the door god."

Chen Qing led the way and did not see Li Shimin's complacency. He corrected Li Shimin's mistake and explained seriously: "According to rumors, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty killed countless people in order to achieve his imperial career, and his methods were extremely cruel. He suffered To eliminate the entanglement of the ghosts of the dead.”

"As a result, his health was very poor after he succeeded to the throne. He often had restless dreams and nightmares at night."

"Li Shimin was very afraid of this situation. After all, he could not bear the torture, so he could only summon the generals and ministers to discuss countermeasures. Marshal Qin Qiong and General Wei Chigong saw that the emperor was in trouble, so they stepped forward."

"From then on, the two of them wore armor and armed themselves to guard the palace gates every night to drive away evil spirits. From then on, Li Shimin was fine and had no more nightmares."

"Over time, Li Shimin missed Qin Qiong, and General Yuchi Gong worked hard day and night, so he asked the palace painter to draw portraits of the two generals in military uniforms, with angry eyes and maces in hand, and hung them on both sides of the palace gate."

"This custom has been passed down to this day, and it has become the door god."

After hearing this, Li Shimin's pride disappeared and turned into a stare.

Every fiber of his beard was trembling, and he wanted to run up immediately, pull at these doors and tear them all down!

Oh shit!

These Ming dynasty people are simply bullying others too much!

So many of his heroic deeds were not handed down, so they took advantage of the fact that he had nightmares and couldn't sleep to spread rumors and create some kind of keeper.

At that time, it was simply because the east palace was located in a low-lying area that it was easy for the wind to blow through the doors and windows at night and make noise, making it difficult to sleep well. It had nothing to do with any ghosts at all.

And if it had to be related, it would be with his father Li Yuan.

It was him who was so shameless that he kept occupying the palace, forcing him to stay in the East Palace.

Chen Qing, who had no idea that he was jumping around wildly in the minefield, was still trying his best to explain: "Speaking of which, Li Shimin is obviously a tyrant who killed his own brother and younger brother. Why are there so many heroes following him? It's really in vain. blind……"

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Cui Yuan interrupted with a smile. He couldn't bear to watch Chen Qing continue to seek death, because Li Shimin was so angry that he was almost fuming.

It was hard for him to accept a guide. It would be a pity if Li Shimin was angered by such a trivial matter and accidentally committed suicide with seven stabs in the back one night.

Although Chen Qing still wanted to continue talking and show off his role.

But seeing Cui Yuan's look, he had no choice but to nod his head.

At the same time, he noticed something strange about the armored old man and was very curious about why he suddenly looked like he had eaten dog shit.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? I was just scolding Li Shimin. Do you like Li Shimin?"

"If so, then I should apologize first."

Li Shimin: "..."

Damn, I want to beat this guy to death even more.

I was really mean in saving him in the first place, I should have just let him be beaten to death by firecrackers!

"Chen Qing, Brother Li."    "You'd better look at the road first."

Cui Yuan stopped the two of them with a smile and pointed forward: "A noble person is coming to see us."

noble?

Li Shimin and Chen Qing immediately returned to their senses and looked cautiously at the street ahead.

There, there was a deserted tavern, and a man in brocade clothes was sitting leisurely drinking at a table on the street. He was the only customer.

And beside him, there were more than a dozen guards, all of them fierce!

When the people around saw this formation, almost all of them walked away, their legs trembling!

who is this?

This question popped up in the minds of Li Shimin and Chen Qing almost at the same time.

A person surrounded by people like this clearly shows that they have an extraordinary status and are extremely violent!

However, before they could think more, Cui Yuan walked forward with a smile and saluted the man.

"Cui Yuan, a common man, is here to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty!"

Your Royal Highness?

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly condensed, and Chen Qing broke into a cold sweat.

This murderous man turned out to be His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty!

The man in brocade clothes was still drinking wine very wildly.

After hearing this, the hand holding the wine glass immediately froze in mid-air.

But the next moment, he regained his composure, glared at Cui Yuan and said, "You have mistaken the person. I am the King of Yan, not His Royal Highness."

"Oh!"

Cui Yuan understood: "It seems that the grassroots thought wrong..."

Call ~

The man in brocade clothes was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but before he was completely relieved, he heard the second half of Cui Yuan's words.

"The common people thought that His Highness the Crown Prince appeared here to convey His Majesty's wishes. Now it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to come over and test my background again."

"And in order not to make me feel offended, I disguised myself as the reckless Yan King Zhu Di."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I shouldn't have revealed your identity directly just now. Instead, I should have seen the situation clearly and then cooperated with you to act well."

"Your Highness, please don't blame me."

The man in brocade: "..."

Bang!

The man in golden clothes slapped the wine glass directly on the table. His face was no longer calm, but full of anger: "You bastard! I am the King of Yan!"

"If you keep talking nonsense like this, I will pull out your tongue!"

"I understand, Your Highness."

Cui Yuan nodded seriously, and then saluted again: "You are King Yan, okay, the common people pay their respects to His Highness King Yan!"

The man in brocade: "..."

At this time, his expression was comparable to that of Li Shimin just now, as if he had eaten dog shit.

I originally thought that what my father said before was mostly exaggerated. It was Cui Yuan who relied on his boldness and carefulness to push his father to the point of suspicion step by step.

If it were him, he would definitely be able to figure out the other party's reality immediately.

Now it seems that I am really too naive and too young!

The Cui Yuan in front of me, even if he is not a god from seven hundred years in the future, is still a wise man who can rival Liu Bowen and Song Lian!

"Brother, I said your method was unreliable. Look, I was right!"

"Why are you pretending to be someone else? It's better to have a showdown with this guy directly!"

While the man in brocade clothes was still speaking coldly, a guard on the side walked up and took off his mask, revealing a face full of heroic spirit.

"Fourth brother..."

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly, but had no way to refute.

Yes!

This heroic man is Zhu Di, the King of Yan in the Ming Dynasty!

Since he wanted to test Cui Yuan through his identity as King Yan, it was natural to bring King Yan with him so that he could compare Cui Yuan's answers one by one.

In Zhu Biao's original expectation, he would first complete his momentum and personality by making a stunning appearance.

Then he brought the topic to the future of King Yan, and used King Yan's reputation as a tyrannical king to force Cui Yuan to answer his questions.

As long as Cui Yuan's answer is even slightly wrong, he will reveal his identity and ask his fourth brother to show up to confront him.

In this way, Cui Yuan will inevitably be in chaos and honestly explain his true purpose.

Even if he doesn't explain, it's okay. As long as he tells his father the results of the test, his father will never agree to Cui Yuan's previous conditions.

It can be said that this plan is very thoughtful!

In order to ensure that it can be implemented smoothly, Zhu Biao even prepared many unexpected measures.

For example, a few people were arranged to create an atmosphere, and after a while they pretended to be passing by, shouting "It's His Royal Highness King Yan" or something like that.

However, what he never expected was that his plan failed and aborted from the very beginning!

Cui Yuan had no plan to speak to him at all, and he recognized his true identity at a glance!

This is really outrageous!

"How on earth did you recognize me?"

"You haven't seen me, and there is no flaw in my disguise. What is the problem?"

Zhu Biao was very unwilling and kept asking questions.

However, Cui Yuan just showed an enigmatic smile and had no intention of answering.

In fact, Zhu Biao's acting skills are very good. Not only is he dressed like King Yan, but even the guards are the guards of Prince Yan's palace, and their behavior is also very similar.

It's a pity that there is a sixth system that betrayed him!
