This... this cannon is quite powerful.
This is a tower on the wall of the imperial palace, it's very solid, and it's so far away, how could it be directly destroyed by this cannon? Is this some new type of cannon that can shoot so accurately?
"What's going on?" Zhu Yunhuan asked.
The soldier who fired the cannon knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, I was distracted for a moment and accidentally fired the cannon. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Why are you so careless? What if you scare someone? Considering that this is your first offense, I will not pursue the matter. Just be careful next time." Zhu Yunhuan said.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The personal soldier expressed his gratitude.
The two of them sang the same tune, which made the officials below twitch their lips.
I fired the shot accidentally. That's a good excuse.
Zhu Yunhuan looked at the officials below and said, "The Minister of Works will arrange for someone to repair the tower later."
"Yes……"
The Minister of Works swallowed and replied.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhu Yunhuan stood up, stood on the imperial steps, and looked down at all the officials and princes.
"Your Majesty is recuperating and will not see anyone. Who else would want to disturb His Majesty's rest?"
Zhu Yunhuan asked calmly, but his eyes swept across Qin Wang Zhu Chong, Jin Wang Zhu Gang and Zhou Wang Zhu Su, and it was obvious that he was talking to them.
"I dare not wait."
All officials expressed their opinions.
We don’t mean that. We are all Taisun’s party.
We all support you!
"We dare not." Led by King Chu Zhu Zhen, some vassal kings who had not yet surrendered followed suit and expressed their opinions.
They are not stubborn. Zhu Yunhuan's cannon did not hit the city wall, but their heads. If you dare to disobey, believe it or not, the cannon will hit you in the face in the next second. Let me tell you about physics.
Zhu Di also hurriedly tried to be a peacemaker, "Since the emperor is recovering from illness, let's not disturb him."
Zhu Di simply gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Seeing that the three people did not react and seemed to want to fight for it again, Zhu Yunheng just sneered in his heart and said something in a dark voice.
“Second uncle, if I remember correctly, on the day of your coronation ceremony, His Majesty personally dressed you and told you to focus on the people, love the people, be cautious in handling matters, and not pursue luxury.
You have also assured Your Majesty many times that you will abide by Your Majesty's teachings, meet the wishes of the people, and govern the world together with the Emperor. But can you tell me why you were called back to the capital when your father was inspecting Xi'an during his lifetime?
Go to the Northern Pacification Office later and read the memorials about your debauchery and cruelty to the people in your fiefdom. As a vassal king, you are responsible for hunting on behalf of the emperor, but you have no intention of educating the people. You have refused to change despite repeated warnings. According to the law of the country, what crime should you be punished for?"
Zhu Chong was the first to take action, so he must bear the consequences.
The shell just now seemed to have hit Zhu Chong's ambition and courage, instantly shattering his courage.
Zhu Chong turned around awkwardly and swallowed. It seemed that his nephew was not stupid at all. He even went out of his way to find out about how he was crowned king.
"I just had a brain attack and spoke nonsense. Please forgive me, Your Highness. Your Highness is the legitimate heir of the Ming Dynasty. You are the legitimate son of the former crown prince. You have inherited your father's career and there is no problem for you to be the crown prince. I just had a brain attack. Please forgive me, Your Highness. I don't object to you at all."
Having said that, Zhu Chong knelt down directly.
Zhu Chong was very clear about what he had done.
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious at the time, and it was only because Zhu Biao pleaded for him that he was spared punishment.
But now no one knows where Zhu Yuanzhang is, Zhu Biao is dead, and Zhu Yunhuan has become the leader of the Ming Group. If Zhu Chong really brings up old scores, he will definitely not end up well.
Seeing that his second brother had given in, Zhu Gang quickly knelt down and said, "I was thinking about my father so much that I didn't sleep well last night, so I spoke nonsense. I hope Your Highness will forgive me. I have no objection to Your Highness at all."
Zhu Gang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
What Zhu Gang did in his fiefdom was not much better than Zhu Chong. It would be better for him to admit his mistake as soon as possible rather than let Zhu Yunhuan reveal those things.
Zhu Su was confused.
Second brother and third brother, you didn’t say this when we were outside the palace.
Wasn't it agreed that at the enthronement ceremony, he would use his status as the legitimate son and the emperor's uncle to give Zhu Yunhuan a warning and embarrass him on the spot?
Why are you so scared?
"Fifth Uncle, do you have a brain disease or are you still asleep?"
Zhu Yunxun looked at Zhu Su with a smile.
Zhu Su also knelt down quickly, "I must have been possessed by a ghost just now. I will find a Taoist priest to exorcise the ghost immediately after I return! I didn't say those words just now."
The main point is to maximize the desire to survive.
The historian standing by recorded it truthfully.
On December 17th of the 25th year of Hongwu, at the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince, the King of Qin suddenly had a brain disease and was talking nonsense, the King of Jin was still asleep and was talking nonsense, and the King of Zhou was possessed by a ghost and was talking nonsense. The crown prince's magic cannon cured the King of Qin's brain disease, woke the King of Jin up, and scared away the evil ghost in the King of Zhou. The three of them immediately knelt down and pledged their loyalty, bowed their heads and begged for forgiveness.
Zhu Yunhuan who was standing above nodded and thought you guys were so tough.
So that's how it is.
Sure enough, the truth is only within the range of the cannon. After I fired this cannon, all the princes felt that my words were the truth, and no one objected to me becoming the crown prince.
The Huaixi Group also seemed to understand that dignity is only above the edge of the sword, and truth is always only within the range of the cannon.
Before the cannon was fired, the prince kept complaining.
After the cannons were fired, the princes began to sing and dance.
Seeing this, the officials of the Ministry of Rites also became tough and directly took the imperial edict back from Zhu Chong.
He raised his imperial edict, "The crown prince has been appointed, and the foundation of the country has been established! All officials congratulate!"
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
"Your Highness, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
The princes had no objections and shouted loudly.
The shot just now shattered all their dreams and fantasies. From the time they entered the palace to the Fengtian Palace, they saw many golden cannons along the way. The power of one cannon was enough to knock down a city wall. What about ten cannons or a hundred cannons?
Originally, it was easy for the Huaixi Group to beat up these princes, but with the addition of these new cannons, they had no chance of winning at all.
My life is more important. Whoever wants to oppose the crown prince can oppose it, but I won’t oppose it.
Yao Guangxiao, who was brought outside the palace by Zhu Di, looked at the celestial phenomenon and felt something was wrong.
There are stars during the day, but the sunlight is too strong and covers the starlight. However, Yao Guangxiao can see them clearly. The more he calculated with his fingers, the more something seemed wrong.
"This is not right. This hexagram is very wrong. It is extremely wrong. I am pinching my hands to the point of smoke coming out. I still can't figure out why the Emperor Star is so dim. How did Zhu Yunhuan become the crown prince? Why did the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao change? Isn't the Heavenly Dao irreversible?"
The Way of Heaven: You only know that the Way of Heaven cannot be reversed, but haven’t you heard that the hexagrams cannot be fully calculated and that one must fear the unpredictable Way of Heaven?
