Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 431 He is Yao Guangxiao
In Prince Yan's palace, Zhu Di showed the utmost sincerity to receive Zhu Ming. Not only did he ask the whole family to come forward, he also quickly asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food.

In fact, the house has already finished its meal.

Zhu Di's three eldest sons are not qualified to participate in today's family banquet, including Xu Miaoyun, and even the princesses and children of other kings are not qualified either.

They will only enter the palace to pay their respects on the arrival day and the New Year's Day.

So the family had already finished dinner.

But I still have to accompany him at this time.

Xu Miaoyun pulled Xu Miaojin, and the two sisters whispered.

Zhu Di naturally chatted with Zhu Ming, telling some interesting things about the grassland or Yanjing.

"Uncle Eighteen, I heard that you were very majestic on the grassland this time and won a big victory. I don't know if you got a bloody horse or something, so I will give one to my nephew," Zhu Gaoxu said carelessly.

Zhu Xi smiled.

There's no rush yet, just take your time.

Moreover, Yanjing was the backing of King Ning Zhu Quan. With Zhu Di here, Zhu Quan's three guards would not dare to have any different intentions.

Even in the battle of Jingnan in history, Zhu Gaoxu was indeed a general under Zhu Di and shared a lot of pressure with Zhu Di.

Otherwise, even if Zhu Yuanzhang comes and presses the heads of the kings to surrender, everyone will still be dissatisfied, and they will still make trouble later.

Zhu Dixin said, what do you ask me? I also want to ask you, why do you say that the eighteenth brother can never stay?
But Dao Yan seemed to have lost his mind and gone crazy, muttering a bunch of words that Zhu Di couldn't understand: "That's not right, that's not right. It is obviously the fate of the five dragons to be in the same dynasty, but why did the king of Dian, Is there a national destiny where two dragons share the same pearl? Doesn’t it mean that one king controls all kings?”

The more arrogant Zhu Gaojiu appears, the more humble and even humble Zhu Gaochi appears.

But it would be outrageous to dance around and curse with your brother.

"Then I'm welcome," Zhu Di agreed with a smile.

He is your younger brother. If you insist on having sex with me, then let's get into a good fight.

Zhu Gaoxu curled his lips and muttered: "It's enough for me and the third brother. As for the eldest brother, he is so fat. Even if you give him a good horse, he can't ride it."

Still not a family anymore?
Therefore, Zhu Chu had always respected these brothers at the family banquet before, and therefore all the kings could feel his sincerity.

The two brothers, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Quan, had an open conversation before, and they guessed that Brother Seventeen would not fight for anything this time, otherwise it would only strengthen the power of the Jurchen clan.

If Zhu Yu and Zhu Shiba are considered by Zhu Yuanzhang to be the child who is most like him.

When Zhu Di came outside, he saw Dao Yan waving from the other side and walked over quickly.

"Master Daoyan, what do you have to say to me?" Zhu Di asked with a puzzled look, and it can be seen from the title that Zhu Di still respects this Daoyan.

Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son of King Yan and the eldest brother among the three brothers.

"With him here, what will happen to the other kings? Even my lord is hopeless."

One thing that must be explained is that Zhu Di's rebellion was not actually prepared from the beginning.

He admired his eldest nephew Zhu Gaochi very much, but he did not like to see the second and third eldest brother in his fourth brother's family.

Sooner or later, the Jurchen tribe will be completely conquered.

This time they captured one million horses and several million cattle and sheep.

No matter how crazy Zhu Chen is, he still has to endure it even when faced with the cynicism and sarcasm of his third brother Zhu Fan.

So in Zhu Laosi's family, Zhu Xiaoer is the child who is most like Zhu Di.

This boy is ruthless and quite capable. It is said that at a young age he has been clamoring to follow his father into battle to kill the enemy.

And seeing that Zhu Di didn't pay attention to his whisper, Zhu Xinxin said that Zhu Gaoxu's arrogance and arrogance must also be as conniving as Zhu Di's.

Yao Guangxiao?
No, is he really not Yao Guangxiao?
Zhu Ming still doesn't know that Yao Guangxiao at this time is not called that name at all. Whether he is called Dao Yan or Yao Tianxi, he is not called Yao Guangxiao at all.

Dao Yan carefully looked around, and then said in a low voice with an anxious tone: "My prince, the King of Dian, must not stay."

You actually want him to get rid of his eighteenth brother?
For some reason, Dao Yan looked even more shocked than Zhu Di. He even stamped his feet and said, "Damn it, what the hell is going on?"

But of course you can't be arrogant at this time, but say: "There are, there are, there are all. When the trophies enter the customs and pass through Yanjing, you can pick them up."

Although there is no war in the grasslands north, there are still three major Jurchen tribes in the northeast, and don't forget that there are also Goryeo on the other side of Changbai Mountain.

Therefore, the important task of Yanjing cannot be withdrawn.

Zhu Ming subconsciously glanced outside the door and saw a figure flashing past through the crack in the door.

It is said that every family has promising children and unpromising children.

Zhu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and felt confused for Zhu Gaochi. If he had such a precious son and it was too late to dote on him, how dare his brother talk back to him? Then you can't draw from small to large?

Therefore, Zhu Ming was also very generous and said to Zhu Di: "Fourth brother, if you are short of horses, you can add a few full cavalry by the way."

"Eighteenth brother, you sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look," Zhu Di suddenly stood up, said something and walked out.

But how can his two younger brothers respect this elder brother?

It even required a slow march of half a million troops to bring them back.

Otherwise, just leave a vassal king outside the customs. If something happens, the court will not even have time to rescue him.

The only thing is that this kid is from a very high level and is extremely crazy.

"What did you say?" Zhu Di was immediately shocked.

At first, after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, the vassal kings had no objection.

It is better to say that when Zhu Yunwen cut off several vassal kings, those vassal kings would rather be deposed as common people, and even Zhu Bai would rather self-immolate than rebel.

But Zhu Yunwen's plan to cut down the feudal clan was too strong, and he forced Zhu Di to rebel.

At the same time, this Dao Yan also played a very important role in it. It was him who finally made Zhu Di decide to rebel and launch the Jingnan Campaign.

So I have to ask whether Zhu Di had any ambition to be emperor at this time.

There must be.

But he really had no thoughts or plans to rebel.

Dao Yan looked at Zhu Di's face and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, to be honest with you, although Dao Yan is a disciple of Buddhism, he has also practiced Taoism under his disciples, and he also knows a lot about Confucianism."

This Dao Yan is indeed a talented person, and he is a fellow practitioner of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

The reason why Yao Guangxiao is also called the demon monk is because as a monk, he ignores Buddhism, but practices Taoism and learns Yin and Yang strategies. He not only instigated Zhu Di to rebel, but also participated in government affairs and so on.

This is not what monks do.

At this time, Dao Yan said earnestly: "To be honest with you, I once observed the sky at night and saw that our Ming Dynasty has five dragons in the same dynasty."

Five dragons? And in the same dynasty?

Zhu Di was shocked. He already understood that the five dragons should represent the five emperors.

But the Five Emperors of the same dynasty? is it possible?
There are generally two theories about the Five Dragons in the same dynasty. One is that Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi.

Another theory is Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji.

The first theory is that Zhu Zhanji was born after Zhu Yuanzhang's death. The two dragons did not meet and were not in the same dynasty.

The second theory is that Zhu Biao died as a prince, and was posthumously granted the throne by Zhu Yunwen after his death.

Therefore, there is no Zhu Zhanji in the first statement, and there is no Zhu Biao in the second statement.

But in general, the so-called Five Dragons in the Same Dynasty, which is the matter among these six emperors, has absolutely nothing to do with Zhu Zhen.

"But when I saw the King of Dian today, I saw in him the national destiny of two dragons sharing the same pearl. Five dragons share the same dynasty, and everything goes smoothly. Two dragons share the same pearl, and the world is unified."

"Your Majesty, this person must not be kept, otherwise one king will control all the kings, and all the kings will surrender. Even two dragons sharing the same pearl are definitely not two dragons playing with the pearl. I am afraid that he will ascend the throne and sit in the palace soon, Your Majesty," Dao Yan said very Urgent, cold sweat covered his bald head.

Whether it was Zhang Sanfeng in the past or Dao Yan at this time, they all saw in Zhu Xi a destiny that could affect the entire Ming Dynasty.

And they keep talking about Tongzhu, not Xizhu.

Two dragons sharing the same pearl is almost equivalent to two dragons sharing the same dynasty and becoming emperors of the same dynasty? is it possible?
That was Zhu Yuanzhang, not Li Yuan. Could he abdicate?
Zhu Di stared at Dao Yan deeply, his face gloomy.

"Are you inciting me to murder my brother?" Zhu Di asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, this world should be yours," Dao Yan whispered, "Five dragons in the same dynasty means that your lineage ascends the throne and sits in the palace, Your Majesty. But I don't know what went wrong. Obviously this celestial phenomenon has not yet Changes, but only when you see His Highness, can you see another national destiny in him. And it is a ferocious dragon, but it is also a real dragon. Once he ascends the throne and sits in the palace, there will be constant weapons and wars in the world. I'm afraid There is not even one out of ten people in the world." It is said that Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di fell in love at first sight.

Uh.

In fact, after Empress Ma passed away, Zhu Yuanzhang selected eminent monks to accompany the kings at that time to chant sutras and pray for blessings.

At that time, Daoyan was recommended by Zuoshan Shizong, the monk Lusi, and had a very happy talk with the King of Yan, Zhu Di, and he began to follow Zhu Di from then on.

However, there are also unofficial rumors that the two have known each other privately for a long time, and Yao Guangxiao even gave Zhu Di a white hat to make an appointment.

If a white hat is put on the prince's head, doesn't he become the emperor?
But this kind of wild history is a bit ridiculous. Do you really think that everyone else is a fool?

What's more, that was what happened around the fifteenth year of Hongwu, and Zhu Di had just come into power. Who could have imagined what would happen fifteen years later.

But divination and fortune-telling, observing the sky at night, etc.

This knowledge did exist in ancient times.

Even today, it is said that some people can deduce many things through the stars in the night sky.

For example, if you post a picture of the starry sky, someone can even guess your location and even time when you took the photo.

There are really masters among the people.

And Dao Yan saw that Zhu Di had the destiny to be the real emperor, and it became increasingly obvious that the five dragons were in the same dynasty.

I'm afraid that in less than five years, Zhu Di will be on the throne.

But when he met Zhu Zhen today, Dao Yan panicked. Where are the five dragons in the same dynasty? That is the true dragon.

Dao Yan couldn't figure it out at this time. Since it was a real dragon, why was it a hidden dragon?
Unless you meet face to face, you can't see through the secret.

It's as if even the secret of heaven has been concealed, and it seems that it is protected by heaven.

It is clear that the fate of the country has not changed in the Ming Dynasty, can one person really change the fate of the country? Or even affect a country’s luck?

Dao Yan was afraid, so he did not hesitate to instigate Zhu Di and take this opportunity to get rid of Zhu Ming.

"My lord, this is a God-given opportunity. If you don't get rid of this son, not only will you never get ahead, but I'm afraid the whole world will be turned upside down by him," Dao Yan was still persuading.

"That's enough," Zhu Di shouted angrily: "You monster monk actually encouraged me to murder my own brother. And what if my eighteenth brother wants to destroy the world? Only me knows that he is doing it for me, the Ming Dynasty. The Zhu family dynasty. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Even if we conquer the whole world, so what?"

Zhu Di has already seen the map of today's world and knows what the so-called world means.

Fortunately, they were still complacent and arrogant before. Wouldn't it be that they are arrogant?

It turns out that the world is so big, and the Central Plains Dynasty is really just one-third of an acre.

According to what the eighteenth brother said, other continents may be more fertile than the Central Plains. For example, the American continent is a large plain with slightly high mountains. The area that can be cultivated for fertile land is several times that of the Central Plains.

There is also the Australian continent, which now only has a group of savages.

Not to mention that the country of Japan turned out to be just a small island, but it ended up repeatedly invading the borders of the Ming Dynasty.

Once they have their hands free, these will have to be punished.

Even Zhu Di had to secretly admire him. Even he could not match the abilities of his eighteenth brother.

What's more, when I think about what Zhu Zhen promised, he will no longer control the throne in one lineage, no longer establish direct descendants, but establish virtuous and capable people to compete for the top position.

His descendants may not have a chance.

Zhu Di had doubts at first, but Zhu Di could see that Zhu Di did have an inexplicable liking for his boss.

Does Lao Shiba really want to take his boss with him and configure him to become the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future?
If that's the case, what's the point for him, Zhu Di, to deal with Zhu Ming?
So Zhu Di warned Dao Yan: "For now, I can pretend that I have never heard of this. Don't dare to mention it again in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind."

Dao Yan miscalculated one thing. Zhu Di was indeed very ambitious, but after all, he was the Yongle Emperor in history and created the Yongle era.

Therefore, it is true that Zhu Di has great ambitions, but he also hopes that the Ming Dynasty will prosper and that the Zhu family will be able to last forever.

Zhu Chu said something very well before: If you only establish the direct descendants but not the virtuous, the family fortune will be ruined sooner or later.

Therefore, even if Zhu Ming said that in the future, the virtuous and capable will run for office, and the descendants of each clan's bloodline will have the opportunity to ascend the throne as emperor, it is false.

Even based on Zhu Chu's ability, Zhu Di admitted that Zhu Chu was indeed qualified to be emperor.

At the same time, Zhu Ming also compared the vassal king to the sharp weapon of the country. The world is so big, and it is really difficult for him to defeat it all by himself.

To be honest, given the size of the world alone, it is not a battle that can be fought in one generation.

If you want to accomplish such a great thing within one generation, you will need helpers, and more helpers.

And these vassal kings are the helpers Zhu Zhen relies on and hopes for.

For Zhu Zhen, his father gave him so many brothers. If he doesn't make use of them, wouldn't it be like cutting off his arms?

Dao Yan didn't know that Zhu Zhen had convinced the kings at the family banquet with absolute sincerity, at least letting them see his sincerity.

Therefore, at this moment, it is impossible for Zhu Di to quarrel with Zhu Ming to the point of breaking up with each other, or even to the point of killing Zhu Ming.

Just kidding, if I occupy the Australian continent first, then I will no longer be the King of Yan, but the Emperor of Australia.

The Australian continent is not much smaller than the Central Plains today.

His eighteenth brother said that from now on I will be the emperor of the Central Plains and you will be the emperors of other places.

We brothers take over the whole world, and we will all be emperors by then.

Even if there is a quarrel between the descendants in the future, it will be our Zhu family's business, what does it have to do with outsiders?

A real dragon?
It is indeed the magnanimity that a true dragon emperor should have.

Even Zhu Di admired him. Even if it were him, after becoming the emperor, all he would think about was the Central Plains, right? At most, he would go on expeditions to the grasslands beyond the Great Wall from time to time.

But the eighteenth brother has not only conquered the grassland by himself, but has also set his sights on the wider world.

Fortunately, they are still fighting in the nest, but they don't know how big the world is.

"Dao Yan, do you know how many countries there are in Southeast Asia? Do you know that besides the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, there is a piece of Eurasia. Do you know that the Tianfang Kingdom is not the farthest country, and there are Many countries. Even our world is a ball, and the world has no end."

"You always say that the sky is round and the earth is round. In fact, the world is round. The world is so big. Instead of wasting your life fighting internally, it is better to fight for world supremacy. This is the true nature of a man. I have lived this life in vain."

"Think about it carefully. I won't tell my eighteenth brother about you, but you have to restrain yourself, otherwise I will kill you without mercy."

Zhu Di said something sincerely and turned around to go back.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Zhu Zheng standing there.

"Eighteenth brother?" Zhu Di was surprised and asked, "When did you come?"

Zhu Zhen raised his chin and said in the direction of Dao Yan: "When he said something about two dragons sharing the same pearl."

Wasn't that there from the beginning?
Zhu Di rolled his eyes. Fortunately, he didn't hesitate at all. When he saw Zhu Xi, he didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "This is a crazy monk. Let's go back and continue drinking. Why don't you let your sister-in-law do it?" Cook some side dishes? Not to mention, I only had the opportunity to taste Miaoyun's cooking when I visited my old father-in-law. Especially the roasted goose, not to mention the taste. "

Zhu Ming smiled: "I am the King of Dian and he is an insane monk. Is that a good match?"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, what do you mean? Want someone?

But Zhu Dixin said, I don’t know what’s wrong with Dao Yan. After seeing the eighteenth brother, he will instigate me to murder his own brother. How dare he let Dao Yan follow the eighteenth brother.

"It's not that my brother is reluctant to let him go, it's really," Zhu Di sighed: "You also heard that he has ulterior motives for you. If the eighteenth brother wants to kill this person, I will never ask for mercy."

"Kill? Why kill? This is such a talented person," Zhu Xi smiled. He was finally sure of one thing. This person must be Yao Guangxiao.

Now that he already knew that he was the famous prime minister in black, how could Zhu Zhen be willing to kill him.

"Fourth brother, this is your good helper. I can help you in the future and also help our Ming Dynasty conquer a large territory," Zhu Zhen said, turning around and walking into the palace.

It seemed that he was not going to pursue what Dao Yan had said before.

The answer is simple, since the fourth brother can still suppress him, that's enough.

Dao Yan is a sharp sword, and an excellent counselor is no less useful than a general who is good at conquering and fighting.

As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops but hard to find a general.

Zhu Zhen has begun to have the consciousness and magnanimity of a king.

Yao Guangxiao was right, he was going to be the emperor in the future. He dared to use all the kings to their best advantage, let alone a mere monster monk?
