Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"Even if you want to compete for the throne, you should use your talents..."

Qi Tai was still feeling indignant.

Of course he knew the temptation of the only dragon throne in the Forbidden City.

But if you want to compete for the throne, you should use your talents and make His Majesty willing to pass on the throne.

The Crown Princess asked me to be the teacher of the Emperor's eldest grandson. Wasn't it because she wanted me to train him into a wise ruler?

But what Lu has done now is already more than that.

"What was the talent of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin? Wasn't it the Xuanwu Gate Incident, where he killed his brothers and forced Taizu to abdicate?"

Seeing that Qi Tai was about to refute, Lu interrupted him again without waiting for him to finish.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, is the template and idol for all emperors since the Tang Dynasty.

Even today, Zhu Yuanzhang still highly respects Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin.

But even for such an emperor who will be remembered for all ages, the means he used to ascend to the throne were not clean.

When Qi Tai heard the Crown Princess bring up Emperor Taizong of Tang, he was speechless for a moment.

The Xuanwu Gate Incident of Emperor Taizong was indeed not glorious.

But no one can deny his civil and military achievements after he ascended the throne.

"The fight for the throne is a life-and-death struggle."

Seeing that Qi Tai was persuaded by him, Lu spoke again, intending to pursue the victory.

"If Zhu Ming ascends the throne, will he spare us, mother and son?"

She looked at Qi Tai and asked back.

You know, no emperor in history would let go of his brothers who competed with him for the throne.

Faced with Lu's question, Qi Tai was speechless again.

Imperial families have always been the most ruthless since ancient times. He claims to be knowledgeable about ancient and modern times, so he naturally knows this.

It was precisely because he knew this that he didn't know how to refute the Crown Princess's question.

Even though he still did not approve of the Crown Princess and Zhang Yong's conspiracies and tricks, he could not think of a better way.

"Mr. Qi Tai, Yun Wen is also your student. Don't you understand what kind of person he is?"

Seeing that Qi Tai's heart was naturally shaken at this moment, the Crown Princess brought up Zhu Yunwen again.

As a master and a disciple, it is impossible for Qi Tai to have no feelings for Zhu Yunwen.

He had even more confidence in the character Zhu Yunwen would become under his teaching.

"Does Mr. Qi Tai want to watch us, mother and son, being hunted down and killed by Zhu Ming?"

After using Zhu Yunwen to arouse Qi Tai's emotions, Lu put on a pitiful look again, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

"Qi Tai thought that the young prince was not that kind of person."

Qi Tai raised his head and thought for a long time, and in the end he could only utter half a sentence.

What the Crown Princess said made sense, and the only thing he could refute was Zhu Ming's character.

Since His Royal Highness entered politics, all of his national policies have benefited the country and the people, and he also personally went to the disaster areas to provide relief.

Such a person should not be the kind of person who would kill his own royal brother.

"Mr. Qi Tai, do you know what it means to know a person's face but not his heart?"

The Crown Princess wiped the non-existent tears from her eyes and asked through sobs.

Who can tell clearly what a person is truly like?

Who can guarantee that Zhu Ming will not take action against them after he ascends the throne?

They can't, and neither can Qi Tai.

"He was the one who watched Wang Ganju being beheaded with his own eyes, and he was not shaken at all."

"Qi Tai, the Crown Princess has been very kind to you and has allowed you to be the teacher of the Emperor's eldest grandson. Do you really want to see them being suppressed by the little grandson?"

Seeing this, Zhang Yong also righteously blamed Qi Tailai.

This statement really touched Qi Tai's sore spot.

The Crown Princess was indeed a benefactor to him.

Moreover, ever since he came to the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess not only allowed him to teach the emperor's eldest grandson with full authority, but also treated him with great courtesy.

Now, thinking of the old love and looking at the pitiful appearance of the Crown Princess, he finally couldn't bear it.

"Just now, Qi Tai's words were a bit offensive."

He sighed and spoke helplessly.

"Mr. Qi Tai, I swear to you here that everything I did was for Yun Wen!"

Seeing Qi Tai's attitude soften, the Crown Princess laughed secretly, but when she raised her head, her eyes were still filled with tears.

"It doesn't matter if we have a bad reputation, but Yun Wen, please teach me more, sir."

Seeing the Crown Princess's deep love for her mother, Qi Tai couldn't bear it after all, and shook his head: "I will do my best to teach the eldest grandson of the emperor."

Although he disagreed with the Crown Princess and Zhang Yong's methods, he still took Zhu Yunwen's teachings very seriously.

Otherwise, he would not have allowed Zhu Yunwen to say in front of his mother that he wanted to drive Zhang Yong out.

"Thank you, Mr. Qitai, for calling Yunwen over here."

Seeing that Qi Tai finally stopped worrying about this matter, Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qi Tai weakly.

She didn't want Qi Tai to dwell on this matter anymore, so it would be best to just get away with it.

"I just scolded him, and my tone was a bit harsh. I wanted to persuade him properly."

That's why she brought the topic back to Zhu Yunwen.

"Qitai knows."

Qi Tai nodded, said nothing more, and walked away with his head down.

The Crown Princess and the Emperor's eldest grandson are mother and son, so he doesn't interfere in what they talk about.

Not long after, Zhu Yunwen walked in from outside with his head lowered, looking timid.

After such a long time, the courage he had just had had long since been exhausted, and now he no longer had the courage to accuse Zhang Yong in front of Mrs. Lu.

And judging from Mr. Qi Tai's expression just now, it was obvious that my mother was not in a good mood either.

"Mother, you are looking for me."

He lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu, and called out cautiously.

"Yun Wen, come here."

Mrs. Lu did not get angry as Zhu Yunwen had imagined. She just waved at him gently and let him go over.

Zhu Yunwen then raised his head slightly, glanced at Lu, and walked over reluctantly.

Lu looked at Zhu Yunwen and put a dagger in his hand.

"Hold it."

Lu's tone suddenly turned cold, like an order.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the dagger flashing coldly in his hand with fear, and his body trembled unconsciously.

If I really hold it, my hand will be covered in blood.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen so cowardly, Lu just put her hand on it and held the dagger in her hand without saying a word.

Blood slowly flowed from Lu's hands.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Yunwen immediately tried to pry Lu's hands apart in fear.

However, Lu did not let go and held the dagger tightly.

"Yun Wen, this is what I want to do."

The severe pain in her hand made Lu frown unconsciously, but her tone of voice remained firm.

She did so much so that Zhu Yunwen could ascend to the throne of emperor safely.

Zhu Yunwen was no match for Zhu Ming, so he had to do the dirty work himself.

"Mother, why are you doing this?"
