Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 132 Zhu Di changes history, the winner gets a good reputation, the loser gets a bad reputation

Zhu Biao let out a long sigh and said with relief.

"These past few days, I have thought a lot. I have tried to separate my good brother, the Prince of Yan, from you, the traitor Emperor Yongle."

"I kept telling myself that the Prince of Yan is the Prince of Yan, and Yongle is Yongle. You are not the same person."

"One is my fourth brother, and the other is a traitor."

"But the past comes to mind. You are you, and you cannot be separated."

If we count Prince of Yan Zhu Di and Emperor Yongle Zhu Di separately.

Then should Prince Yiwen and Emperor Hongsheng also be counted separately?
If we look at it separately, then this matter is a matter between Prince Yiwen and Emperor Yongle.

What does it have to do with me, Emperor Hongsheng?
Besides, whether it was Prince of Yan Zhu Di or Yongle Zhu Di, they were actually his younger brothers.

Whether in terms of ideology or in terms of this body.

"Whether it's the Prince of Yan or the Emperor, they are all Zhu Laosi."

"You saved me, Xiongying, my father, my mother, my brother Wenzhong, Lanyu, Xu Yungong, and so on."

"I guess it's all because of you that we can stand here safely."

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and nodded.

According to this logic, it is indeed correct.

Whether it is Lan Yu, Xu Yungong, or Xu Zengshou, they can all stand here safely.

In fact, it was all because he changed the original trajectory of history.

Otherwise, Zhu Biao would have died early, Lan Yu would have been buried with him, Xu Yungong would have been imprisoned to death, and Xu Zengshou would have been killed by Emperor Jianwen.

Xu Da died of illness, Li Wenzhong died of illness, Mu Ying died because of Zhu Biao, and so on.

Most people in the Hong Sheng Dynasty will die.

But Zhu Di changed this situation with his own life.

In this regard, Zhu Biao had no right to blame Zhu Di.

"So, although I am a little sad about your Jingnan incident, I have no right to blame you."

"Although you are in trouble, you also know your mistakes."

"There is an act of atonement, the original intention does not matter, only the deeds are looked at."

"Just now, I put pressure on you with a tough attitude, and you were able to face the fear in your heart without being afraid."

"I'm very relieved."

"This shows that you have grown up. You are no longer a child following me and my father. You have grown into an outstanding emperor."

"You should be very clear about the difficulty of governing a country. Without a strong attitude and skills, as well as the courage to face difficulties, it is impossible to govern a country well."

Zhu Biao took a deep breath and said, "Thank you."

Zhu Di also stood up at this time and listened to the praise from his brother.

He looked at Zhu Biao with complicated eyes.

He had imagined this scene countless times, getting the approval of his father and his eldest brother.

But fantasy is always just fantasy, how can it come true?

In the past, he could only dream of seeing his father and elder brother affirming his achievements, but he never thought of that.

This day has finally arrived.

Zhu Di put his hands on his hips and looked at Zhu Biao with a very relaxed expression.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

"I owe you this."

Zhu Biao was also very calm and looked at Zhu Di with great admiration.

"Haha, Fourth Brother, can you let me, your elder brother, see the world you govern?"

Hearing this request, Zhu Di chuckled.

"Brother, as your younger brother, I also want to see how the world you govern is different from mine."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

From this moment on, the rift between the brothers was completely eliminated.

Xu Miaoyun looked at this scene and was also happy for Zhu Di.

In fact, during the ten years from the 15th year of Hongwu to the 25th year of Hongwu, how could she not see the fear and terror in Zhu Di's heart?

It's like a child who has done something wrong and is afraid to face his parents.

Panic, nervous, scared, unable to sleep all night long.

Terrified.

From now on, Zhu Di no longer has to do this.

"It's a pity that Zhuang Mu fell asleep, otherwise I could take my brother to have a look."

"During the Yongle reign, although the civil and military achievements were not as good as those of Emperors Wen and Tang, they were not far behind."

Zhu Biao was not in a hurry.

"If you have time, you can always see it."

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and spoke.

"However, I do have a request, Old Four, can you agree to it?"

Zhu Di nodded.

"I'll make the decision based on my own consideration. If Big Brother wants me to return the throne, I'm afraid I can't do it."

It is basically impossible for him to return the throne, after all, the throne will be returned to Zhu Biao's lineage.

In history books, I am only known as a thief, but have no achievements.

Knowing this, Zhu Biao naturally would not say that this was impossible.

After all, asking Zhu Di to return the throne would be tantamount to sending his entire family to death.

"Don't worry, I won't interfere in the government affairs of your Yongle Dynasty."

"I can't even manage the government affairs of the Hongsheng Dynasty, so how could I interfere?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di readily agreed to Zhu Biao's request.

As long as he is not asked to return the throne, everything will be fine.

"I just want to say, don't write me in a bad light. As your big brother, I have to save face too."

"You're not the only one who wants to save face."

Hearing this, Zhu Di was slightly stunned.

"You know it all?"

Zhu Biao sighed softly.

"Throughout the ages, those who have taken a special path have ascended to the throne of God."

"How many people don't change history?"

"During the Xuanwu Gate Incident of Emperor Taizong of Tang, his brother was not well regarded in history books."

"I guess I am also like this in your history books."

How could he not understand these things about the imperial family?

He has been familiar with various Confucian classics and historical books since childhood.

The entire history book is just about eight words.

The winner is famous.

The stigma of losers.

Although he did not have a direct confrontation with Zhu Di, the confrontation between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di was, in a sense,

It is the contest between the Crown Prince and the Prince of Yan.

The Prince of Yan won, how can the title of Crown Prince be good enough for him?

If the prince is handsome, wouldn't it be obvious that the Prince of Yan is plotting rebellion?

Rebelling against an unforgivable emperor will bring much less infamy than rebelling against a wise emperor.

It's like killing a bad person and killing a good person.

They are both murder, but killing the bad guys is easier to accept.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "That's no problem."

"The history books of the Yongle Dynasty only record the disagreement between you and your father. As for the rest, I am being realistic."

He changed Zhu Biao's history just to make people think that Zhu Yuanzhang did not like Zhu Biao and was more inclined to pass the throne to himself.

Make its legal principles more appropriate.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded.

"That's good."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di suddenly remembered what Zhuang Mu said a few days ago.

Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also came here.

So he did not hide anything and said directly to Zhu Biao: "There is one more thing."

"Father has been to this tavern before."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao was slightly stunned.

"Father?"

During the Hong Sheng Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had already died of illness, and his mother had also died of illness long ago.

It is unlikely that Zhu Yuanzhang would still be alive during the Yongle reign.

After all, if Zhu Yuanzhang were still alive, how could Zhu Di rebel? Even if Zhu Yuanzhang put a knife on Zhu Di's neck, he might not dare to say a word of rebellion.

"Yes, that kid Zhuang Mu told me personally."

"It seems that the father of the Hongwu Dynasty has come here."

"By the way, big brother, I have always wanted to ask you something. Have you ever heard of Zhuang Yi?"

In his dream, he didn't actually look into much about Zhuang Yi and Zhu Yuanzhang.

All I know is that Zhuang Yi has a relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang.

But we still don’t know what their relationship is or what they talked about.

Zhuang Yi? Zhu Biao thought for a moment.

He shook his head slightly.

"I don't know him. Is this person related to my father?"

Zhu Di let out a long sigh.

"Brother, you should also know that my way of atonement is to go to your world and change history through the dream bridge created by Zhuang Mu."

Zhu Biao nodded.

In fact, no one can tell whether this is a dream becoming reality or this is reality.

Even Zhuang Mu himself was unsure whether it was a dream come true or reality.

Although there is no difference between the two statements.

"My sister-in-law told me."

"During this process of atonement, I learned that Zhuang Mu's grandfather also possessed this special ability."

"I wonder if you know, big brother, that in the early years of the Hongwu period, a kind of dream wine was popular in Yingtian Prefecture."

After hearing this, Zhu Biao thought for a moment.

Nodded: "I have heard a little bit about it. When I found out, this kind of dream wine was no longer for sale."

"Rumor has it that my father also drank this kind of dream wine."

"And this kind of wine can not only make people have beautiful dreams, but also make people dream about the future."

It depends on the needs. If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see the future of the Ming Dynasty, he can see it.

This is also the most special thing about Mengjiu.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao was a little surprised.

Dreaming about the future?

How can we foresee the future trend?

"what do you mean?"

Zhu Di nodded and said, "I was wondering if Dad saw something in his dream."

If Zhu Yuanzhang's dream was just an ordinary dream, then why did he suddenly come to this tavern?

Also, is Zhuang Mu’s grandfather missing, or is he related to Zhu Yuanzhang in some way?
You know, Zhuang Yi returned to the tavern after talking with Zhu Yuanzhang all night, and suddenly went crazy not long after.

He went crazy because he couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.

Or...what happened between him and Zhu Yuanzhang that caused him to go crazy?
"When you say that, I actually feel a little strange."

"Before my father and mother passed away, they told me a piece of news."

"If you want to know the truth behind your death, you can come to the Zhuang Family Tavern in Nanjing City and find a man named Zhuang Mu."

"But I checked the household registration of Nanjing City."

"We only found information about Zhuang Yi and Zhuang Die, but not Zhuang Mu."

No information about Zhuang Mu?
Zhu Di was slightly surprised.

Is it possible that because I didn't introduce anyone to Zhuang Die, she will be single all her life?
"Zhuang Mu seemed to have died when he was just born."

“So it’s not on record.”

Died in infancy?
"So, the Zhuang family has no descendants?"

Zhu Biao nodded.

That's strange, why is Zhuang Mu of the Yongle Dynasty still alive?

Zhuang Mu in another world died young.

But Zhuang Mu in this world is safe and sound.

Could it be that Zhuang Mu's fate had actually been quietly changed by someone?

And this person...could it be Zhuang Yi?

"Old monk, what do you think?"

Yao Guangxiao, who was suddenly mentioned, was slightly stunned and walked forward.

"Your Majesty, I don't know either."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di also joked: "Don't you know astronomy and geography?"

"What? You can't even figure out such a simple thing. Are you still the wise old monk who is close to being a demon?"

Yao Guangxiao had extremely high intelligence, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to study the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and he would have been the master of them all.

Zhu Biao looked at the old man in front of him curiously.

At this moment, Zhu Di suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhu Biao.

He said, "This man is the first meritorious official of the founding of the country during the Jingnan period. He is my teacher and also my friend."

"Without him, I would have made up my mind to rebel. Without him, I might have lost to Zhu Yunwen."

"Brother, you have to control this kind of people."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao asked, "May I ask his name?"

To be so valued by Zhu Di and to be able to help a vassal king successfully rebel, his ability must be outstanding.

There is such a person in this world.

There must be such a person in the Hong Sheng Dynasty.

Yao Guangxiao quickly responded respectfully and smiled, "Yao Guangxiao."

Zhu Biao silently memorized the name and planned to look it up when he returned.

However, considering his age, it might be a little late for him to use it for himself.

"Old Four, since you said that this dream wine can see the future."

"Doesn't that mean you can also see your own future?"

Zhu Di nodded.

"Then do you know how long the Ming Dynasty will last?"

As an emperor, he naturally wants to know how many years the Ming Dynasty can exist in the future.

Zhu Di shook his head slightly, sighed and said.

"A few days ago, an emperor appeared in the tavern. Judging from his appearance, the Ming Dynasty is only a matter of time before it is destroyed."

“I didn’t dare to understand it in detail.”

Zhu Biao knew Zhu Di's worries at a glance.

"Are you afraid of the blame from your father?"

The brothers are in tune with each other, and the only thing that could make Zhu Di so afraid is his father's majesty.

Zhu Biao thought for a moment. Although this was indeed hard to accept, he had to face it.

"Old Four, you collapsed just as I praised you."

"Facing the problem and solving it is the attitude you should have."

“Instead of running away from the problem.”

"Will the Ming Dynasty not be destroyed if you escape?"

“Only by truly understanding and experiencing it can you know how to avoid this problem.”

"Throughout history, every emperor has always been summarizing the experience of the previous dynasty's downfall."

"And you can directly summarize the experience of the fall of this dynasty and then make modifications."

Listening to the sermon from the eldest brother.

Zhu Di suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Although what Zhu Biao said was correct, he still felt a little resistant in his heart.

The throne that was hard-won during the Jingnan Rebellion was lost by later generations.

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew this was here, he would be furious.

Seeing Zhu Di's absent-minded look, Zhu Biao felt a little helpless.

"Forget it, think about it carefully."

"I can only advise you. As for what you do, I won't interfere."

"It's getting late today."

When Zhu Biao was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said to Zhu Di.

"Oh, by the way, Lao Si, from now on, you and I will meet in this tavern every half month."

"We can meet as brothers or as emperors, reminiscing about the past or discussing state governance. It's all fine."

"Next time I come, I hope you will bring your revised history book with you so that I can read it."

"Also, if there is any news about our father, please inform me as well."

After saying that, Zhu Biao left.
