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

Chapter 96 Confused Zhu Di

Otherwise... go ask the boss for help?
After all, Zhu Gaochi was the crown prince who had governed the country for ten years without making any mistakes.

For my own sake, it should be no problem for you to help out.

"Little Sniffle, go call the boss."

Upon hearing this, Little Nose explained, "Prince Han, I'm afraid this won't work. The Crown Prince has left the palace with the Emperor."

Zhu Gaoxu stood up suddenly and asked: "Leaving the palace?"

"Why did you go out of the palace?"

Little Sniffle shook his head. Although he was a personal eunuch, there were some things he didn't know.

Helplessly, Zhu Gaoxu had to handle state affairs here alone.

……

In the tavern.

Zhu Di frowned and threw all the cards in his hand on the table.

He said unhappily, "My Lord, do you know how to play?"

"After five games, the old monk won four. How did you manage to be a farmer?"

"You won't cooperate with me?"

Zhu Gaochi pouted in grievance, how could he cooperate with Zhu Di?

Yao Guangxiao came up with two of the biggest bombs, and his cards were as straight as water in a stream.

There's no way to stop it. It's not his own problem. It's just that Yao Guangxiao is too lucky.

Seeing the father and son like this, Yao Guangxiao also smiled and said: "I wonder if the emperor has relieved his worries?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di rolled his eyes at Zhu Gaochi.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you shuffle the cards?"

Then he looked towards Yao Guangxiao: "No progress."

"However, I have already told my father-in-law and Miaoyun about my rebellion."

Father-in-law? Duke of Wei Xu Da?

This is a good choice. After all, he is my father-in-law. It is understandable to stand on his side.

At this time, Zhu Di recalled what Zhuang Die's friend Niu He said.

Even Emperor Hongwu had drunk this wine that could make him dream.

He couldn't help but look a little serious.

"Old monk, I got a message in my dream about my father."

Upon hearing this, Yao Guangxiao nodded.

Helping Zhu Di with analysis was also his job.

Zhu Di then said: "Zhuang Mu's dreams are basically restored according to the most real things."

"You should know this."

"In my dream, I wanted to find Zhuang Mu's father to see if he could create dreams and let my father dream about what the future Yongle Dynasty would look like."

"I thought I'd get forgiveness this way, but it didn't work."

"But I got another piece of news."

"Zhuang Mu's grandfather also had Zhuang Mu's dream-making ability, but later he went crazy and disappeared."

"Before he went crazy and disappeared, his dream wine was sold to my father."

"That is to say, in the original history, my father should have drunk the dream wine made by Grandpa Zhuang Mu."

"I'm a little confused."

"My father was a commoner, but he became the founding emperor. He should have everything he needed."

"What do you think his purpose was in buying this drink? What did he want to dream about?"

Listening to Zhu Di's explanation, Yao Guangxiao thought for a moment.

Stroke it.

He responded, "Your Majesty wants to know what Emperor Taizu dreamed of when he drank that glass of wine more than 40 years ago?"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

After thinking about it, Yao Guangxiao responded: "Your Majesty must be worrying too much."

"If Emperor Taizu saw something in his dream, given his character, he would not remain unmoved."

Yao Guangxiao also noticed Zhu Di's worries.

I am worried that Zhu Yuanzhang might have already dreamed of the future in that glass of wine.

Dreaming about rebelling.

But this doesn't make sense.

If Zhu Yuanzhang dreamed of himself rebelling, how could he remain indifferent?

Zhu Di continued to speak at this time: "Then tell me, is there such a possibility?"

"In the first year of Hongwu, my father received a cup of dream wine from Grandpa Zhuang Mu that could predict the future."

"In the dream, he saw me rebel, saw his mother die of illness, and saw his eldest brother and nephew die of illness."

"He saw that bastard Zhu Yunwen ascend the throne and was unable to control the government."

"So I raised an army to support the king, but was defeated by Lan Yu and other brave generals."

"It caused chaos in the world and the end of the Ming Dynasty in the second generation."

"Then, my father began to lay out plans and pave the way for me. In fact, in his heart, the person he wanted to pass on the throne to was me."

"He killed Li Shanchang, eliminated the nobles in Huaixi, and killed fierce generals such as Lan Yu, just to pave the way for my rebellion."

"In fact, in the original history, my father did not kill Lan Yu and others at all. It was just that because of that glass of wine, everything changed."

Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Gaochi listened to Zhu Di's inference.

Are silent.

In fact, Zhu Di’s previous inference was indeed possible.

No one knows what Zhu Yuanzhang saw in that glass of wine.

Or maybe, I just simply want to dream about my parents or something like that.

Maybe Zhuang Yi's wine is better than Zhuang Mu's? Can you see the future?
Zhuang Yi is Zhuang Mu’s grandfather. There should be nothing wrong with a grandfather being more powerful than his grandson.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he was torn between imperial power and family affection.

There is a high probability that the imperial power will be chosen.

Of course, he will not abandon his family ties.

However, it is really far-fetched to say that Zhu Yuanzhang initiated the Lan Yu case to pave the way for Zhu Di.

Although it is true that Zhu Yuanzhang contributed to Zhu Di's rebellion.

If Zhu Yuanzhang had not killed Lan Yu and other founding heroes, Zhu Di might not have succeeded in his campaign. Zhu Di had too few capable generals around him.

In the ranking of military generals, including them, the first and second are both from the Zhu family, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Di.

It was difficult to deal with a group of second-generation people including Li Jinglong, Xu Yungong, Ping An and others.

Not to mention dealing with veterans like Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and Feng Sheng who have extremely rich battlefield experience.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed Lan Yu and other founding heroes, obviously to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen, as he was afraid that he would not be able to control these arrogant and powerful generals.

How could he possibly pave the way for Zhu Di?

Zhu Yuanzhang had absolute power, so it was easy for him to pass the throne to Zhu Di.

If I really saw in that glass of wine that the future of the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed at the hands of Zhu Yunwen.

The answer should have been to wait until Zhu Biao died suddenly before directly summoning Zhu Di. Why go through so much trouble?

"Your Majesty is worrying too much."

"In my humble opinion, Emperor Taizu probably just wants to see his parents."

Zhu Di was still somewhat unwilling.

My reasoning is very reasonable.

"Am I worrying too much? No, I think this is very reasonable."

"Boss, what do you think?"

Zhu Gaochi shuffled the cards silently, and listened to Zhu Di's words, pretending to be dumb.

"Ah? Dad, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly just now."

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi.

At this glance, Zhu Gaochi immediately said, "Dad, what you said makes sense."

"But I think..."

Before Zhu Gaochi could finish his words, Zhu Di interrupted him.

He said to Yao Guangxiao: "Look, the prince also thinks so, my speculation is correct."

Yao Guangxiao felt helpless.

Don’t you know what Zhu Gaochi’s attitude is?

Not allowing people to finish what they are saying, isn't that a distortion of the meaning?

He doesn't really hide his thoughts and treats people sincerely, which is sometimes better than being secretive.

"The emperor's statement has a huge loophole."

"First, if it is true as the emperor speculated, Zhu Yunwen will be unable to control the court after ascending the throne. The emperor wants to save the Ming Dynasty, but he is powerless."

"Emperor Taizu wanted to change the fate of the second emperor's death, so he eliminated Lan Yu and others in advance to make it easier for the emperor to rebel."

"But even if Emperor Taizu kills Lan Yu and others, it will still be difficult for you to succeed in your rebellion."

"If you fail, the emperor will still be Zhu Yunwen."

"It's very risky, Emperor Taizu, why don't you just pass it on to you directly?"

Of course, the current statement is that Emperor Hongwu passed the throne to Prince of Yan Zhu Di in the 35th year of Hongwu.

But everyone knows it's fake.

After all, Zhu Di's rebellion caused such a huge commotion that it was impossible to completely cover up the traces.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a very stable character and would never take risks.

If he had known in advance that Zhu Yunwen was incompetent, he would never have sent him to the throne.

The risk is too great.

If Zhu Di failed, wouldn't the result be the same? The second emperor's death?

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao in silence.

"Not at all possible?"

"Maybe, unless Emperor Taizu..."

Yao Guangxiao hesitated to speak. Although sincerity is good, sometimes one has to be careful when speaking.

In fact, what he meant was that Emperor Taizu would only do this if he was mentally ill.

Of course, even if Yao Guangxiao didn't say it, Zhu Di could understand the meaning behind it.

"This is the first time we have a disagreement."

Yao Guangxiao felt helpless.

"The Emperor also wants to restore his reputation."

"It would be better to honestly change the fate of Crown Prince Yiwen and the Crown Prince, and make amends to Emperor Taizu."

"Although I cannot get forgiveness, I can still get rid of the depression in my heart."

Complete eradication is actually unlikely.

However, let this guilt and regret be buried deep in your heart.

At the very least, it will not affect Zhu Di's mood, sleep, etc. immediately.

It's like a scar. You try your best to let it heal, but it's impossible to leave no trace at all.

Zhu Di's moods were changeable.

Basically, they are all caused by the word "traitor".

Zhu Di said this.

Yao Guangxiao also understood what it meant and wanted to correct his position.

In this way, there won't even be any scars left.

"You think so too?"

Zhu Di could only look at Zhu Gaochi with hope.

Hopefully he can support his point of view.

Zhu Gaochi knew that if he took a deep breath.

Guessing that Zhu Di would misinterpret his meaning again, he spoke directly.

"Dad, I also think it's better to listen to Mr. Yao."

"As long as we can save Zhu Xiongying and Uncle in our dreams, that will be enough."

"Otherwise, if Emperor Taizu and Prince Yiwen knew that you acted like this to cover up your mistakes, they would probably be even more angry."

After saying that, the air fell into a very strange silence. At this moment.

The bell hanging on the door swayed, making a light sound.

Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Di, and Zhu Gaochi all felt their hearts tighten... their eyes all looked towards the door.

Fortunately, the person who came was Zhu Zhanji, not Emperor Taizu and Prince Yiwen.
