Ming Jiajing: Starting from Immortality

Chapter 135 Brothers turn against each other, Prince Yu declares war!
There is an assassin in front of Yuxi Palace.

After the cabinet received the news, Gao Gong, Li Chunfang and Chen Yiqin immediately rushed to Xiyuan.

Although in the past forty years the emperor discussed grand ceremonies, performed sacred fasts and sacrifices, initiated construction projects, suppressed dissidents, abolished court meetings for a long time, sought jewels, and ran textile factories, and other evil policies, the emperor had a sudden realization and was still a good emperor.

So the cabinet gathered in Yuxi Palace again, and only felt relieved when they saw that the emperor was fine.

While there was nothing going on in Yuxi Palace, there was something going on in Prince Yu's Mansion.

Prince Jing visited Prince Yu's mansion again and explained to Prince Yu the recent assassination attempt.

Prince Yu Zhu Zaihou was shocked and said in an angry tone, "My brother, are you suspecting that I was the one who ordered this?"

"Do not."

Prince Jing Zhu Zaizhen shook his head and said seriously: "I mean, even the assassins look down on you."

Prince Yu stood up suddenly.

Ever since the Golden Dragon Banquet that day, his body inexplicably recovered. Even though his heart disease was still there, he was no longer physically ill. He just felt depressed from time to time, but his behavior was no longer affected.

Li Shizhen came to see him, but he didn't know why Prince Yu suddenly recovered from his serious illness. He could only attribute it to the grace of the emperor and the blessing of heaven.

"Brother, don't get excited."

King Jing's men pressed down, signaling his brother not to react like that, but King Yu argued, "Am I excited?"

King Jing did not expose Prince Yu's disguise, and said with a tone of regret and regret, "If my brother really had the heart to harm his brothers, perhaps I would look up to him, but even assassins look down on you, my brother."

As a prince of the Ming Dynasty, he was the only one of the two people closest to the emperor who was repeatedly assassinated.

The nobles and scholars in Jinling wanted him dead, and the foreigners and traitors outside the Great Wall also wanted him dead.

And what about my royal brother, Prince Yu?

Over the years, there has not even been an assassination attempt. This may be because the emperor's brother is rarely seen in the palace, but it also proves that in the eyes of the Chinese people, traitors, and foreigners, the emperor's brother is a "harmless" person.

Even after ascending the throne, he was still a "good man" and a recognized "good emperor."

Therefore, Prince Jing, who had been assassinated twice during his visit to the capital, never thought that the mastermind behind the scenes might be his elder brother.

Only after the assassination was over and things calmed down, Prince Jing would wonder why it was not his brother.

It's not that he wanted to use the assassination to bring down Prince Yu's Mansion, but it was too boring.

Even if he won the battle for the throne with such a brother, he would not feel any sense of accomplishment.

What he longed for was the struggle for the throne during the reign of Emperor Chengzu Wen, when five emperors ruled the country together, with Emperor Renzong, King of Han, King of Zhao, and even the "good grandson" Emperor Xuanzong actively participating.

Anyone with blood in this position will be eager to fight.

Look at the imperial brother in front of him. He doesn't look like a member of the Zhu family at all, and he doesn't look like a prince at all.

A faint sigh.

As the saying goes, 'Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife', Prince Yu couldn't hold back any longer, his defense was broken, "Is it wrong to be loved by others?"

"Of course."

King Jing shook his head and said seriously: "The mistake is that I am loved but can't do anything."

Today it is today.

The emperor still doesn't understand that the reason why he is loved by everyone is not because of his outstanding abilities or personal charm, but because of the contrast.

He relied on his father and his support. In the past, his father's evil policies and this year's crazy slaughter had made people all over the world a little scared.

As for King Jing, he was regarded as "quasi-king" in the court.

Except for the common people, no scholar, noble, official, traitor or foreigner wanted to have a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor above their heads or opposite them.

In comparison, the "anthropomorphic" Prince Yu became the only choice for everyone.

Oh, no, Prince Yu will no longer be the first choice soon. The beauties presented by the two capitals, thirteen provinces and vassal states are rushing to the capital during this period. After the selection, my father will establish a new queen. Prince Yu and Prince Jing will have a queen mother. If the queen mother gives birth to a legitimate son of the Ming Dynasty, those who are unwilling to see the Ming Dynasty doing well will have more choices.

Prince Yu relied on his status as the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty to have the best time and people, but in the past twenty years, he has accomplished nothing.

Even though he, the prince who was able to fight against him, left the capital and became a fief, and Prince Yu had the support of most of the court, he still did nothing.

Like a bystander, he watched the people who supported him die one after another and his power collapse. Like a resentful woman, he almost died of depression.

Prince Yu's face was pale, the fire in his chest was about to burn out, he covered his chest but couldn't utter a word.

King Jing was not worried at all. Instead, he smiled. Then, adding fuel to the fire, he said, "I, your royal brother, will not stay in the Ming Dynasty for long. Before I leave, put aside my status as a prince and advise my brother to do something. Even if there is a dagger hidden in the sleeve of your robe, what if you take it out and stab me and your father?"

After saying this, Prince Jing did not stay any longer. He did not have much time left. He had to visit the six ministries and the cabinet next. Before leaving, he had to go to the Forbidden City to bid farewell to his mother.

As a brother, he boasted that he had said enough to Prince Yu.

I hope my brother can realize it.

Looking at his brother's back, Prince Yu finally recovered his breath and roared, "I will become the emperor!
No matter what, I will become the emperor!
I will! I will definitely! "

My father has only two princes now.

And he, a prince, was actually taught by another prince how to seize the throne. What a shame! What a shame!

Prince Jing did not look back, nor did he even stop. He did not take his brother's arrogant words to heart at all.

If my brother could do what he said, this wouldn't be the case today.

After Prince Jing stepped out of the door, Prince Yu could no longer hold back. His throat felt sweet and a mouthful of blood spurted out, "Poof!"

There was a black blood mist in the scarlet.

This alarmed the eunuchs and palace maids, as well as Concubine Li who was watching the place all the time. Her delicate face turned pale and she said, "Call for the imperial physician! Go and call for Imperial Physician Li!"

"Need not!"

After Prince Yu vomited blood, he felt as if his mind was clear and his heart disease had disappeared. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a dignified manner, "I am fine!"

After saying this, Prince Yu shook off Concubine Li's supporting hand and strode towards the study. He would make his father and brother regret it.

He is willing to give everything for this.

Looking at Prince Yu's back, Concubine Li could not hide her worry and anxiety. Your Majesty, it seems that you have changed, but also that you haven't changed.

Night falls.

The rain fell first.

It was as if a gaping hole had been opened in the sky, and the Milky Way poured down, flooding the entire world with unstoppable momentum.

But in less than half an hour, the rain suddenly stopped, but the sky was still covered with leaden clouds, and no one knew when it would rain again.

A heavy downpour disturbed the pedestrians and caused the shops on both sides of the street to close their stalls early.
