As soon as they met those sharp and cold eyes, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang felt like they were electrocuted. They subconsciously withdrew their gazes and turned to look at each other.
At this moment, there was silence on the execution platform, but below the platform there were extremely noisy and deafening calls: "Your Highness the Prince of Qin! Your Highness the Prince of Jin!" There were even various cries of reluctance and regret.
However, no matter how loud the noises were, to Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang, they seemed to be coming from far away.
It was as if it was blocked by something and could no longer reach their ears.
There was only a buzzing in my ears.
That look not far away...
It was like the look of a hunter patiently waiting to finally catch his prey, a look of pride and detachment as if looking down from the heavens upon the ants. Though calm, it was like an abyss that could swallow someone in an instant...
This... is definitely not the look a mediocre and cowardly person would have!
And this conclusion.
Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang also saw recognition in each other's eyes.
"Second brother..."
"The third child..."
The two looked at each other, muttering in daze.
So... he was just pretending! This guy was just pretending before!
His submissiveness and inaction in the Eastern Palace were all fake! His willful and foolish behavior after ascending the throne were also fake!
This little bastard...hidden things so well!!
Fear, horror... it was like a shock that struck their souls directly, even making them forget for a moment that they were facing the Forbidden City and kneeling on the execution ground. There was only disbelief in their hearts, and their minds were like a kaleidoscope of thoughts, with thousands of thoughts surging in an instant.
From beginning to end, it was only that little bastard Zhu Yunhuan.
That is to say...
Three months ago, it was Zhu Yunhuan who had ascended to power smoothly. It was Zhu Yunhuan who meticulously arranged the cheap fabrics. It was also Zhu Yunhuan who shattered their rebellion plan with lightning speed! He even tried to test and plot against Fu Youde... and so on and so forth.
These are all happening one by one.
They were all created by a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old!
Their so-called "restoring order" is nothing but a joke!
Think of this.
Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang seemed to have lost their last spiritual support. Their bodies, which had been standing upright with their chests puffed out, drooped and they didn't even have the energy to curse... Their eyes were filled with despair.
For nothing else.
Even though they hated Zhu Yunhuan from the bottom of their hearts.
But they also know.
This nephew who went against the Imperial Ming Dynasty's Ancestor's Instructions and insisted on taking their lives... probably could really sit firmly on the throne!
He was able to single-handedly complete a peaceful transition between the old and the new in such a chaotic situation, accomplish so much in just a few months of taking power, and even manipulate Feng Sheng into his own hands and toy with Fu Youde... Even in terms of bloodline, he was the most legitimate person...
Why can't he sit firmly on the throne?
To the point that he actually was… someone who was willing to sacrifice his own foundation and bear the infamy just to save a few more untouchables! He wasn't being forced to do so by some so-called "manipulator behind the scenes."
They certainly possessed the dignity of the royal family, and their actions were arrogant, domineering, and cruel, but they were also the sons of Zhu Yuanzhang, educated under his yoke. How could they not know the importance of so-called "benevolence" and "sacrificing oneself to benefit the people" for an emperor, a person in a high position? They knew all this, but simply couldn't put it into practice.
But that young boy Zhu Yunxun actually did it! !
"Compared to my eldest brother, the disciple is even better than the master."
"I'm afraid that in the eyes of my father, who is so strong, this will be the most qualified heir, even more suitable than my eldest brother!"
It is precisely because they know this that they are even more desperate.
They are unwilling to accept this!
They hate it!
After the prince was executed in such a humiliating way, they would hardly have the chance to see the destruction of the enemy who killed them. If they knew about it, they might even have to watch with their own eyes this enemy sitting more firmly on the throne, enjoying this vast territory, all the wealth in the world, and the supreme power in the world!
