Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 8 Desperate Lao Zhu
  [You are angry. You have clearly expressed to Emperor Jianwen that you have no hostility and only want to be a free king, but Emperor Jianwen still chooses to use the most dirty and ruthless means to kill you. 】

[You don’t understand why you, the late emperor Xue Yin, have fallen into such a miserable situation. 】

[After roaring angrily, you looked up to the sky and sighed: "I see that all the ministers in the past generations were imprisoned because of their ignorance, and they all ended up committing suicide. As the son of Taizu, my father passed away, and I can neither visit him nor visit him. I can’t attend the funeral either. I feel so sad and regretful. What’s the point of living on! I would rather die than be humiliated as a slave!”]

[At the age of nineteen, you drank farewell with your family, and then lit a fire with your own hands, burning the palace, concubines and concubines to the ground. 】

[It is a clear and sunny day. You put on the prince's clothes, hold a bow and arrow and ride a white horse into the sea of ​​fire, and commit suicide. 】

[Because you had no heirs, your feudal status was revoked after your death, and you were given the evil posthumous title "Rou" by Emperor Jianwen. 】

[Simulation ends. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

He tried to sit down on the chair tremblingly, but his legs and feet became weak and he accidentally fell to the ground.

The eunuch next to him hurriedly ran over to help, but was driven away by Zhu Yuanzhang with an angry roar: "Get out of here, get out of here, stay away!"

The eunuchs didn't know why the emperor was so angry for no reason, but they didn't dare to think too much and could only retreat.

Lao Zhu stretched out his trembling hands to hold the teacup beside him, wanting to take a sip of tea to calm down, but his hands were shaking so much that the teacup slipped from his palm and made a shattering sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang held a fragment tightly in his palm, and blood slid down the tiger's mouth, as if only physical pain could slightly relieve the severe pain in his heart.

But it doesn't help.

Lao Zhu's mind went blank. He never thought that his son would be forced to commit suicide by the Emperor of the Zhu family!

Zhu Bai, King of Xiang, was only twenty-nine years old when he died!
  Zhu Yunwen, how could you be so cruel? He is your uncle!

And how desperate should Zhu Bai be at that moment when he is riding his horse towards the sea of ​​fire? The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty knew that King Xiang was wronged, but they all pretended not to know and looked down upon him as he was driven to a dead end.

Except for King Zhu Zhu of Wu, no one was willing to support Taizu Xueyin!
  At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang showed no majesty as an emperor. He covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.

"If we can't even protect our own son, what kind of emperor are we?"

……

The moon is hidden and the stars are sparse, and the only light is lit on the shore of Xuanwu Lake.

Zhu Di and his fourth brother were fishing side by side, but this time, Zhu Di was particularly silent.

"Fourth brother, is there something on your mind?" Zhu Zhu asked casually as he hung the bait on the fishhook.

Zhu Di paused and said slowly: "Lao Wu, Hu Weiyong, the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province, came to see me today."

"I know, he's also looking for me." Zhu Zhu said with a smile, "But the fact that we can fish together tonight shows that our choice is the same."

"As expected, this guy is going after Uncle Xu, and he has no good intentions." Zhu Di said angrily, "We can't even fight, but he suddenly came to look for me. If he wasn't plotting against me, there is something wrong with him. Got it!"

"Fourth brother, as a brother, I have a word of advice for you." Zhu Zhu swung the rod and the fish bobber stood firmly on the lake, and said leisurely, "Don't get too close to the Huaixi Party."

Zhu Di was puzzled: "Why? The Huaixi Party is now at its peak in the government. The entire Zhongshu Province is under their control. Their members are spread throughout the government and the public. Most of the founding military heroes were from Huaixi. If they can get Huaixi The support of the Western Party will be a great help even after we gain vassal status."

"Since the Huaixi Party is so good, why do you still refuse Hu Weiyong's invitation?" Zhu Wei said indifferently, "Hu Weiyong is the successor of the old Xiangguo. If you are on good terms with him, it is equivalent to being on good terms with the Huaixi Party. Why do you still want to Are you resisting?"

Zhu Laosi touched the tip of his nose, and said uncertainly: "I always feel that the Huaixi Party is a bit right, I don't know if it is my illusion."

Zhu Ju stared at the lake with deep eyes, "Farmers all know that piglets must be well-fed and well-served before killing them when they are the fattest during the New Year. Since ancient times, the emperor has maintained a balance in the party struggles between the DPRK and China, and forced If it is weak, it will be weakened, and if it is weak, it will be supported, and this balance will not be broken."

"But look at the current situation between the DPRK and China. There is no balance at all. Yang Xian of the East Zhejiang Party was killed, and Liu Bowen, the pillar of the East Zhejiang Party, returned to his hometown. Apart from the East Zhejiang Party, Wang Guangyang, the only one who could compete with the Huaixi Party, was randomly found. He seized power under an excuse and was demoted to participate in politics in Guangdong Province."

"Perhaps this is the old man paving the way for the eldest brother, but if you think about it carefully, although the Huaixi Party has a good relationship with the eldest brother, if the Huaixi Party continues to develop according to its current size, when the eldest brother succeeds to the throne, will he be in power or the Huaixi Party? Is the Western Party in power? The most likely possibility is that when the eldest brother ascends the throne, he has become a puppet of the Huaixi Party."

Zhu Di was dumbfounded.

He never thought that such a thorough statement about the situation in the court would come from the mouth of his fifth brother who had nothing to do all day long.

Is this still the same His Highness King Wu who thinks about visiting the brothels and drinking wine?

"Then according to your idea..." Zhu Di thought about it carefully, "doesn't it mean..."

After receiving Lao Wu's guidance, he didn't dare to think about it further.

Because the final result was too shocking and terrifying.

"The final result is that everyone has to die. If it is better to just die, the nine tribes will also have to die together."

The fish bobber moved slightly, and Zhu Zhu lifted the pole without hesitation and harvested a plump carp. "Whether it seems to be in Huaixi, or in Zhejiang, it's just piglets raised by the old man. They will be cut after they are fattened." Throat. Who can survive in the end depends on the old man's mood."

"In less than ten years, Hu Weiyong, Liu Bowen, Wang Guangyang and others will undoubtedly die."

He said it very euphemistically, but in fact he was almost dead in five years.

In April of the eighth year of Hongwu, Liu Bowen was poisoned.

In December of the twelfth year of Hongwu, Wang Guangyang was questioned and hanged himself.

In the first month of the thirteenth year of Hongwu's reign, Hu Weiyong was sentenced to death.

He lived as long as Li Shanlong and thought he could survive alone. Little did he know that ten years after Hu Weiyong's death, he was suddenly taken out and executed.

When they were officials in the Hongwu Dynasty, everyone had to write a suicide note before going to court every day. After returning home safely, they had to burn incense to their ancestors and be thankful that they had lived another day.

Zhu Di couldn't bear it: "To kill the nine tribes, isn't this too cruel?"

Zhu Tie glanced at his fourth brother and said calmly: "If you become the emperor, I'm afraid you will kill as much as the old man."

Zhu Di refused to accept it and said categorically: "If I were in power, such a tragedy as the killing of the Nine Tribes would never happen!"

Zhu Ru couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Di said angrily: "Why are you laughing?"

"Because I know, Fourth Brother, you are telling the truth."
