Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 1 is corny, but useful

Chapter 1 is corny, but useful
Hongwu 25 years, early February.

Late at night, there was lightning and thunder over the Imperial City of Ming Dynasty, and it was windy and rainy.

Outside the Fengxian Hall, hundreds of well-armed and capable guards formed a circle around the hall.

In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, stood in front of the ancestral throne with his hands behind his hands, his face uncertain, and behind him, kneeling was a young man wearing embroidered python brocade clothing.

At this moment, the young man lowered his head deeply to hide his inner panic, but he did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would be a hundred times more difficult to deal with than he thought!
Although Zhu Gaoxu came to this world as a soul a long time ago and replaced Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of King Yan Zhu Di with the same surname as him, it was not until half a month ago that he fully awakened all the memories of his previous life.

In order to change the fate of the original owner who was smothered in history, Zhu Gaoxu decided to support King Zhu Di of Yan to become the new crown prince of the Ming Dynasty after the death of Prince Zhu Biao. To achieve this goal, he needed to make some long-term plans and preparations in advance.

For example, while Zhu Biao was still alive, he tried to find a way to ruin Zhu Yunwen's reputation, and then exposed the "shameful deeds" of King Jin and King Qin to the eyes of the world, clearing the way for Zhu Di to succeed Zhu Di as the crown prince after Zhu Biao died of illness.

Zhu Gaoxu was a history buff in his previous life, especially the struggle history of the grassroots emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was quite familiar with the history of the early Ming Dynasty.

Historically, Zhu Gaoxu was born with a fierce nature. During the Hongwu period, he was summoned to the capital by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to study together with the princes of Qin, Jin, Yan, and Zhou Zhou. However, he refused to learn, and his words and deeds were frivolous, so that Zhu Yuanzhang was very disgusted with him. .

However, when Zhu Gaoxu traveled through time, the original owner was still a child. Although his past life memory had not been completely restored at that time, due to the influence of his previous life's personality and partial memories, Zhu Gaoxu in this life was completely different from that in history.

He has been very smart since he was a child. Not only does he love reading and have a photographic memory, he is known as a "child prodigy". He also likes to practice martial arts and is very skilled in both civil and military skills.

Among the grandsons of the emperors who studied in Dabentang, including Zhu Yunwen, they were far inferior to him.

It is no exaggeration to say that among all the emperors and grandsons, only Zhu Gaoxu was the most valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, and also the most troubled by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because he was so outstanding, he compared Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi, the sons of Prince Zhu Biao.

If he had not been born in the Hongwu Dynasty, I am afraid he would have "died" long ago.

Half a month ago, Zhu Gaoxu completely awakened his past life memory. He was very anxious because he was familiar with the direction of history, because history books recorded that Prince Zhu Biao would die of illness in April this year, and Zhu Yunwen would be established as the grandson in September.

In order to seize the opportunity for King Zhu Di of Yan, Zhu Gaoxu decided to make up a lie to alarm Zhu Yuanzhang and attract his attention.

He specially wrote a secret letter and personally submitted it to Zhu Yuanzhang after the examination in the main hall this morning. The content of the secret letter only contained a simple sentence: "My grandson has a confidential report related to the country."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Gaoxu would not joke with him about such a thing.

So, on this stormy night, he secretly summoned Zhu Gaoxu to Fengxian Hall. He wanted to find out what Zhu Gaoxu, who had been known as a child prodigy since he was a child, wanted to say.

He also gave the "recording officer" on duty a holiday and strictly ordered that the matter should not be entered into the "Daily Notes".

Although Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the system of living notes at the end of the Hongwu Dynasty in history, this system still exists, which shows how seriously he attaches importance to this matter.

Fengxian Hall is located in the imperial palace. It is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang enshrines the shrines of his parents and ancestors. He obviously had a deeper meaning when he chose to summon Zhu Gaoxu here.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise: "You said that you understood the future of the Ming Dynasty from the "Huangji Jingshi Shu" written by Shao Yong of the Song Dynasty, and even understood a set of strategies for governing the country?"

At this time, he simply did not believe that Zhu Gaoxu had understood the prophecies and state-governing strategies from the book, but Zhu Gaoxu was his beloved grandson after all. Whether it was true or false, he had to listen to what Zhu Gaoxu had to say.

Therefore, Lao Zhu decided to pretend to believe it and cooperate with Zhu Gaoxu in a play, just like playing with his good grandson.

By the way, he could also take the opportunity to test and see if someone was instigating Zhu Gaoxu to do this behind his back.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, if King Yan Zhu Di had undue thoughts and used some means to hide his eyesight and instigate Zhu Gaoxu behind the scenes, then he would not mind taking advantage of the scheme.

And it is not difficult to verify this matter. Just send someone to secretly investigate who Zhu Gaoxu has been in contact with recently.

As for Zhu Gaoxu, when he brought out the "Huangji Jingshi Shu", he was not trying to fool Zhu with Shao Yong's prediction theory.

He knew that Lao Zhu would not choose to believe him just based on his words, and would definitely send someone secretly to investigate and monitor him!

The so-called understanding of "the future of the Ming Dynasty" is just an introduction. Zhu Gaoxu's purpose is to attract Lao Zhu's special attention to him.

In ancient times, only this kind of miraculous prophecies and state-governing strategies could attract the attention of those in power.

And Zhu Gaoxu is Lao Zhu's beloved grandson, and he can even be said to be the best grandson.A person's energy is limited. When Lao Zhu pays too much attention to Zhu Gaoxu and discovers that Zhu Gaoxu's advantages are far greater than Zhu Yunwen, after Zhu Biao passes away from illness, Lao Zhu's idea of ​​​​living Zhu Yunqi will not be as strong as it was in history.

Closer to home.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu listened to Lao Zhu's question and immediately replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Back to Grandpa Huang, this matter is of great importance, and my grandson dare not lie."

He felt that in the process of Lao Zhu's growth from a beggar to an emperor, he had saved himself from danger many times and escaped from death. Is it possible to say that Lao Zhu was an absolute atheist?
Of course, it is also possible that Lao Zhu is really an atheist at heart, but he only believes in predictions that are useful to him.

"Gao Xu, get up."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, slowly walked towards Zhu Gaoxu, and said in a calm tone.

In order not to show any timidity, Zhu Gaoxu stood up slowly with his head lowered and his face calm.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "Gao Xu, raise your head."

Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to disobey, his face remained as usual, and he slowly raised his head.

The two looked at each other.

"We started from a young age, spent half our life fighting, and finally drove away the northern barbarians, restored the Han people, and ascended to the throne in accordance with the destiny of heaven. So we have dreamed of gods, traveled to the heavenly palace, and read Shao Yong's books, but it just happened that you came from How should we explain the prophecies and statecraft strategies in his books?”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Zhu Gaoxu and asked softly.

Zhu Gaoxu knew about this. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the legend of Zhu Yuanzhang "sleeping in the Heavenly Palace" happened. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote the article "Imperial Dream", saying that he sleepwalked in the Heavenly Palace and saw the Taoism and the Three Purities.

Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has called himself "Emperor Fengtian Chengyun", and from then on, the official edicts of the Ming Dynasty must add the words "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor" at the beginning.

In this world, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will not trust anyone except Queen Ma. Even his favorite eldest son Zhu Biao does not trust him unconditionally, let alone Zhu Gaoxu?
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's overlooking gaze, Zhu Gaoxu was surprisingly calm, with no trace of panic in his eyes.

After all, if you tell lies for a long time, they become true.

Zhu Gaoxu knew very well that the calmer he was, the greater the possibility that Zhu Yuanzhang would believe him. He must try his best to make Zhu Yuanzhang accept his lies while Zhu Biao was still alive. In this way, when Zhu Biao died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang would Will be more sure now that he is not lying.

"We are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you are our grandson. If he bullies you, he bullies us. We will chop off his head! My dear grandson, tell us, who ordered you?"

Reaching out to hold Zhu Gaoxu's left shoulder, Zhu Yuanzhang asked majestically.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is over sixty years old and has an old face, he does not show signs of twilight. He has a long silver beard and a majestic appearance. He exudes a powerful aura at this time.

Zhu Gaoxu bit the tip of his tongue cruelly, stimulating his brain with intense pain. He tried to stay awake, then raised his hands and swore.

"My grandson Zhu Gaoxu is willing to swear on the throne of his ancestors that everything he just said is true. If he lies, I will be struck to death by five thunderbolts!"

Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew his hand from Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder and looked at the solemn look on his little face. There was a hint of deep appreciation in his eyes.

Although people in this era are more superstitious, based on Zhu Gaoxu's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang in his past and present lives, Lao Zhu cannot easily believe his words and will inevitably test him constantly.

Because in his understanding, although Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk, he not only ate vegetarian food, but also ate meat!

If the so-called prophecy is conducive to the Zhu family's dynasty ruling the world, naturally everything will be fine.

But if it is predicted that the second generation of the Ming Dynasty will die, Lao Zhu will probably block the news and even cause another major case!
There is no airtight wall in the world. It is inevitable that this matter will not spread in the future. Once it spreads, it will probably be used by people with intentions to make a big fuss.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang had his own sense of proportion in this matter. Since he seemingly believed what Zhu Gaoxu said, he had to ask the questions that should be asked, and he had to make his good grandson think that he had believed it.

"How about the Ming Dynasty Guo Zuo?"
