Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 571 Common People
  "Father!"

"I don't dare. I am greedy for power and want to get the throne, but I will never dare to be disrespectful to my father."

"In my heart, my father is God."

"My son, I would never dare to hurt my father!"

Zhu Di put all the messy thoughts behind him, knelt down and kowtowed hard, knocking the floor tiles so hard that his forehead was about to break.

Zhu Di did not expect that his father could use such means to test his own attitude.

If he shows anything, Zhu Yuanzhang will never show mercy.

Zhu Di had no doubt about Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness.

At this time, Xu Miaoyun was also frightened and turned pale.

She knew her husband's character very well and knew that Zhu Di must have been tempted just now, but she quickly assessed the situation and put all these thoughts away, not knowing whether His Majesty saw anything.

Hope you can't tell.

However, Xu Miaoyun had to kowtow vigorously like Zhu Di to show that he did not dare to do such a rebellious act.

What Xu Miaoyun can rest assured is that Zhu Yuanzhang really can't see anything.

Zhu Di's thoughts disappeared as soon as they appeared. They were well concealed and did not reveal anything, which made Zhu Yuanzhang no longer murderous.

"Don't you really like being an emperor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was still cold, and he said coldly: "Now that we are giving you this opportunity, you don't want it either?"

Zhu Di kowtowed and said: "I don't dare to do it anymore! I was confused before, thinking that my eldest brother, second brother and third brother were all gone, and my father was very partial and favored little Yunxuan. I felt dissatisfied and wanted to be with my little brother." Yunxuan fights."

"My son provoked a war in the north because he was unwilling to have his military power taken back by his father."

"As long as we can fight, my father will definitely think of his son."

"I will return the military power to my sons."

"It's all my fault. Father, please punish me!"

He said all this, first to eliminate Lao Zhu's dissatisfaction with himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression slowly softened, he withdrew the dagger stuck on the table, and said softly: "We gave you a chance, but you don't want it."

It's not that Zhu Di doesn't want it, but he doesn't dare to ask for it.

Unless you don’t want to live anymore.

"My son, I won't think about this anymore!"

Zhu Di continued to kowtow.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle. The reason why we enfeoffed you is that you can protect the Ming Dynasty together with the emperor sitting in the capital. The legitimate son sits in the country and coordinates everything in the capital. The other princes Sun, together with my legitimate son, we will protect the country and the Ming Dynasty. We will give you military power, give you fields, and support you with the Ming Dynasty treasury, but why are you not satisfied?"

He couldn't figure it out.

Logically speaking, we are all members of the same family, so why should we fight and kill each other?

This is that he underestimated the temptation of power.

Also underestimated, the desires of the human heart.

Zhu Di couldn't respond to this sentence, and he didn't dare to respond.

The couple were still kneeling, their bodies trembling slightly.

"Okay, everyone get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gathered his other thoughts and said: "My lord, don't think about it anymore. We think Gao Chi is a good kid. He will continue to stay in Peiping to be the King of Yan. As for the fourth child, you... stay in the capital and be demoted to a commoner." People, that’s it!”

If Zhu Di's thoughts just now were seen by Zhu Yuanzhang, he would not even be able to treat him as a commoner.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't see it, and considering that he was his son after all, a close relative of flesh and blood, he still had some merit in guarding Peiping these years, and it was not low, he was afraid that killing him would have a bad impact and chill the hearts of his other sons.

I don’t want my hands to be stained with the blood of my loved ones in my later years.

Zhu Di, let it go for now, no killing for now!
  As for whether the future good grandson will kill Zhu Di and whether he will do something to other vassal kings, it is not something he can control. Of course, he cannot know that much.

On that day, Zhu Yuanzhang had already entered the imperial mausoleum and accompanied his sister.

"Thank you, father!" Zhu Di took a long breath.

He finally didn't have to die, but he was unwilling to be demoted to a commoner, which meant losing everything.

Xu Miaoyun secretly tugged on Zhu Di's clothes, as if to imply that he was lucky to be a commoner, so don't force too much. Only then did Zhu Di put down his other thoughts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting us go."

Xu Miaoyun also said.

"Get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "You haven't finished your food yet, so you can't waste it. Continue to eat."

They expressed their gratitude again, sat down anxiously, and ate and drank with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Today's lunch was so frightening for them that it almost ended up being nothing.

After dinner.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked them to leave. He would go back to Prince Yan's Mansion and prepare to become a commoner. The Prince's Mansion could continue to live in the palace, but the plaque of the Prince's Palace could no longer be hung. As for becoming a commoner, it would not be too difficult.

Zhu Gaochi would never do it, regardless of Zhu Di and his wife.

"Our dear grandson, are you still in the palace?"

Zhu Yuanzhang missed Zhu Xuan and hadn't eaten with Zhu Xuan for a long time.

Yun Qi said: "Your Majesty, the little emperor's grandson came back to handle some official business, and then left the palace to go to the Xu family."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "This child, if he has a wife, he won't need Grandpa Huang anymore, but the girls in the Xu family are indeed very good. Do you think it's time for us to have a great-grandson?"

Yun Qi flattered him and said, "Of course it should be. His Highness the little emperor and grandson can get married."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about Zhu Xuan's age and said regretfully: "It still doesn't work. It's too young. It will take a few more years. It's not suitable now. We don't know if we can live for a few more years."

"Your Majesty!"

Yunqi responded.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "You bitch, you just know what you have been saying for thousands of years to coax us!"

Yun Qi bent over and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, he can really live for ten thousand years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that he could not live forever.

But if he lives for a few more years and is under Liu Chun's care, the problem shouldn't be too big.

Now, he mainly focuses on recuperation.

Although I am still working, the intensity is not as strong as at the beginning.

Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted Zhu Xuan to help him share the work, but Zhu Xuan was still young and his heart was outside. As the emperor's grandfather, he could only satisfy his grandson's dream and let him work outside for a few more years and experience more things.

-

Zhu Di walked out of the palace, his body finally no longer shaking.

Being able to survive is the best outcome for them. As common people, what will happen in the future will be decided in the future.

"Your Majesty, we are fine."

Xu Miaoyun said softly.

Zhu Di said: "Thank you just now."

Xu Miaoyun said: "This is what I should do."

"I am no longer a prince."

Zhu Di said again: "Go back to the palace first. Do you want to go back to the Xu family for a walk?"

With their identities now, they shouldn't have to worry so much when returning to the Xu family.

Xu Miaoyun thought about it and nodded slightly. She really wanted to go back to the Xu family.
