Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Speaking to prevent Hu Dakui from killing Yuan Zhen, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yuan Zhen coldly and said, "Sir, you are so rude and presumptuous, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Since ancient times, only death has been difficult, and I am no more than an ordinary Confucian student. How can there be no reason not to be afraid of death?"

Yuan Zhen said calmly: "However, before death and integrity, Yu would rather choose to die."

"The ancients said, sacrifice your life for righteousness. Although Yu dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with the sages, he still has his own persistence."

Emperor Yongle Zhu Di sent him to the Taiwu Dynasty to send him to his death, didn't Yuan Zhen know about this?

As a smart person, Yuan Zhen would not be aware of how annoying his stinky mouth is.

But he still came without hesitation, and without restraint, he angered Zhu Houzhao and the civil and military officials as soon as he came, and everyone wanted to kill him soon.

And the reason why he is so bold, in the final analysis, is due to his personality. He is used to scolding people everywhere. It is really impossible for him to speak in a low voice.

Zhu Di wanted him to die, but he cooperated very well, frantically trying to die, as if he couldn't wait to go to the Netherworld for a stroll.

"integrity!"

Zhu Houzhao's killing intent soared, like boiling water, and he couldn't suppress it anymore.

Running to his place and uttering obscenities, and flirting with him, Yuan Zhen disgusted him and made him disgusted.

In particular, Yuan Zhen's look of honor even if he died made him think of Fang Xiaoru inexplicably.

Before Zhu Di killed Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xiaoru said: "It is the scholar Fang Xiaoru who is immortal, and the traitor Zhu Di who will be stigmatized forever."

When people are about to die, they still regard their own death as noble. This kind of person who regards "fame" as extremely important, and even uses death to "make famous" is the most incomprehensible.

That's how Yuan Zhen felt for Zhu Houzhao. It seemed that as long as Zhu Houzhao killed him, Yuan Zhen would be immortal.

Outwardly he appears to be a madman, but deep down he is a hypocrite through and through.

Zhu Houzhao had to admit that he was disgusted by Yuan Zhen, and he hadn't seen such a hypocrite for many years.

"Sacrificing one's life for righteousness, I don't know what Mr. means by righteousness?"

Zhu Houzhao said indifferently, Yuan Zhen had already been sentenced to death.

Since this guy wants to die, he should not hesitate to make it happen.

Killing Yuan Zhen might cause hostility from scholars in Yongle Dynasty, but he didn't care too much, since his reputation had never been good anyway.

There are many people scolding him, but what can they do with him!

"Keeping light and rejecting darkness, upholding etiquette and morality, and not coexisting with filth, this is righteousness!"

"Life is precious, but it is far less cherished than the belief we hold in our hearts."

Yuan Zhen's stern words completely angered Zhu Houzhao.

dark?filthy?
What do you mean?
It was clearly referring to Sang and scolding Huai, saying that Zhu Houzhao's Taiwu Dynasty was a dark and filthy place where filth was hidden, and he would rather die than live under this sky.

Just now it was a personal attack, insulting Zhu Houzhao and the civil and military officials, now it's all right, and it directly rises to the level of the entire Taiwu Dynasty. I really feel that I have lived too long, and I just want to die early.

"Sir, you are very eloquent."

Zhu Houzhao laughed back angrily, and said: "I heard that Mr. is good at playing drums, can you show me your skills so that I can see Mr.'s demeanor."

Yuan Zhen often compares himself with Mi Heng of the Three Kingdoms, and even his behavior style is very similar to Mi Heng. In this case, Zhu Houzhao gave him the same fate as Mi Heng.

"Drums."

Yuan Zhen didn't refuse, and agreed generously.

Knowing that he was doomed to die, before he died, he wanted to go wild.

Mi Heng beat the drums and scolded Cao, which was regarded as a classic by history, but now he, Yuan Zhen, beat the drums and scolded Zhu, no matter what he did, he could make his name in history.

Zhu Houzhao gave Liu Jin a wink, and Liu Jin immediately understood and ordered the warriors in front of the hall to bring a big drum.

The big drum is made of the skin of demon oxen. It is not a musical drum for sacrificial ceremonies, but a war drum used in the army.

To play this kind of drum, in addition to being proficient in drumming skills, you must also have a certain level of cultivation, otherwise you can't even hold the drumsticks.

"Sir, please!"

Zhu Houzhao looked directly at Yuan Zhen coldly.

After all, Yuan Zhen is not Ni Heng, and he doesn't have the courage to stand naked in front of people, revealing his innocent body and human outlook.

After tidying up his clothes a little, he picked up the drumsticks effortlessly and began to beat the war drum.

dong dong dong
The high-pitched sound of war drums, like the roar of dragons and tigers, resounds in all directions, making people feel like they are on the battlefield, galloping and fighting among thousands of troops and horses, arousing infinite enthusiasm.

Dare to compare himself to Mi Heng, the madman of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Zhen still has two skills. Not only is he good at talking, but he is also good at drumming.

Listening to the passionate and surging drums, influenced by the artistic conception, Zhu Houzhao subconsciously whispered:
"Thousands of achievements, eternal fame, the hero is covered with blood and dust. The battlefield is sandy, competing for superiority, a century-old spirit, and the winner is my name."

Then he shook his head and sighed: "Although there is the skin of Mi Heng, there is no bone of Mi Heng, nor the soul of Mi Heng."

This is the most pertinent evaluation of Yuan Zhen.

You Heng beat the drums and scolded Cao, only because the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty was weak, and he was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's superiority over the Han emperor, rather than spouting freely.

As for Yuan Zhen, he is indeed very similar to Mi Heng, with a bad mouth and good at playing drums, but after careful comparison, you will find that there is an essential difference between the two.

Mi Heng's arrogance comes from the bottom of his heart, while Yuan Zhen seems to be putting it on deliberately.

In essence, Yuan Zhen is not much different from traditional scholars. He is arrogant, self-righteous, and eager to be famous in the world.

Imitating Mi Heng's behavior style, he is called the No.1 mouth of Yongle Chao with his mouth. He has successfully shaped himself, but he has also failed.

Maybe it's because he has been imitating for a long time. He has the appearance of Mi Heng, but he does not have the inner beauty of Mi Heng. Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, and he has the skin of Mi Heng, but not the bone of Mi Heng.

The sound of war drums became louder and louder, and Yuan Zhen also began his final act of death:

"You kill ministers indiscriminately and despise sages, it is inhumane!"

"It is injustice to bully the same clan and suppress the clan!"

"Forcing the ancestors to death, disregarding human relations, is disloyalty!"

"If you disobey and violate the law, you are not filial."

"An unkind, unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial person like you actually sits high in the temple, governing the world and ruling the people. This sincerity is the misfortune of the world and the sorrow of the world."

He scolded Zhu Houzhao severely without mercy. In Yuan Zhen's eyes, Zhu Houzhao was like Cao Mengde, and he needed a just person like him to criticize.

Banning the superior treatment of scholars, suppressing the group of scholars, and exiling civil servants to farm land and open up wasteland. A normal emperor would not be able to do such a thing.

He has let go of his fear of death, and wants to use his own death to awaken the fighting spirit of the scholars in the Taiwu Dynasty, forcing Zhu Houzhao to resume paying attention to scholars.

In that case, even if Yuan Zhen died, his death was worthwhile and meaningful, and he should have a place in the history books.

At this moment, Yuan Zhen's face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of holy light, which was so dazzling.

Of course, it may also be that he knew that he was going to die, but he had to say hello before he died.

People like Yuan Zhen love names, but their minds are also extremely complicated. No one is a roundworm in his stomach, so how can he know his specific thoughts.

After scolding Zhu Houzhao, he threw the drumstick on the ground and waited for Zhu Houzhao's disposal.

Label Zhu Houzhao as unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous. He is doomed, and God can't save him.

Even if Zhu Houzhao didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to walk out of the territory of the Taiwu Dynasty alive.

Single-handedly bringing the Taiwu Dynasty to the sequence of the Big Three of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao's prestige in the local area is unparalleled. Many people hate Zhu Houzhao, and even more people respect Zhu Houzhao.

As long as the news spreads, without Zhu Houzhao's own action, the folk forces can make Yuan Zhen disappear.

The author has hinted at the ending of Zhu Houzhao, can readers guess it?
