On the other side, after leaving Zhaoming Terrace, old Zhu Zhudi and others did not disperse, but gathered together to discuss the way forward.

Signing the life contract does not mean that they will obey Zhu Hou's words. They are all emperors and are used to being superior, so how can they bear others to shout at them.

"You said, did Zhu Houzhao's conscience discover that he didn't kill us?"

Zhu Youxiao said jokingly, breaking the quiet atmosphere.

"It's not that he found out his conscience, but there is still something we can use, otherwise"

Otherwise, Zhu Qizhen is a good example for them. Their ancestors and fellow clansmen cannot frighten Zhu Houzhao.

Old Zhu looked like he had seen through everything, and sneered, "Zhu Houzhao's civil and military skills are gradually becoming unbalanced. He needs to support us to balance civil and military affairs and stabilize the overall situation of the government."

"Conscience found out, Zhu Houzhao, that bastard, does he still have a conscience?"

In terms of political sense, Lao Zhu is definitely the No. 1 of Lao Zhu's family. From the previous wars, he can see the problem, and combined with Zhu Houzhao's abnormal behavior, he can easily guess Zhu Houzhao's calculations.

The vicious eyesight, the keen sense of smell, the powerful ability, all these factors superimpose, it is no wonder that Zhu Houzhao is very afraid of Lao Zhu, thinking that Zhu Qiyuan can't play Lao Zhu.

Whether Zhu Houzhao has a conscience or not is clear to everyone sitting here, and they don't want to waste time on this topic. The most important thing for them now is to gain a firm foothold and plan for the future.

"Father, what should we do in the future, is it possible that we really want to work hard for Zhu Houzhao's bastard."

Zhu Di was very upset and said, thinking that he would sacrifice his life for his children and grandchildren, he felt tired for a while!
Great Emperor Yongle, when did he suffer such humiliation!
"I signed the life contract, what can I do if I don't work for him, I want to die!"

Old Zhu slapped Zhu Di unceremoniously, and looked at Zhu Di very unkindly.

Who is Zhu Houzhao's descendant, Zhu Di's; without Zhu Di's pacification of heaven, Zhu Houzhao could sit on the throne; without Zhu Houzhao's existence, Emperor Hongwu could suffer this disastrous defeat, and even lost his freedom!

Everything is Zhu Di's fault!
"Father, fourth brother is also worried about our future, so don't be angry."

The elder Zhu Biao's words really worked, and the old Zhu's resentment was relieved a little bit. He also knew that he had fallen to this point, no wonder Zhu Di, Zhu Di himself was also a victim, but he needed a punching bag.

As for this punching bag, no one is more suitable than Zhu Di. After all, Zhu Houzhao is Zhu Di's direct descendant, which cannot be changed no matter what.

Looking around among the crowd, Old Zhu said in a deep voice, "What we have to do now is to hide our strength and bide our time. Wait, wait until the day Zhu Houzhao passes away."

"Zhu Houzhao is more sinister and cunning than the fourth child, and no one can match his cold-blooded and ruthless. Such a person has too much luck in the world, and he will not live long."

Zhu Di's face is ugly, and I can be involved in all of this.

Old Zhu ignored it, and then said: "Let's listen to Zhu Houzhao's mercy first, and wait for the day when Zhu Houzhao goes to the end, and when Zhu Houzhao dies, we will be able to make a comeback."

"Zhu Qiyuan was trained by Zhu Houzhao. Although his ability is good, he is far inferior to Zhu Houzhao. He cannot suppress us."

What he said was so logical that it seemed that Zhu Houzhao was nothing to worry about, and they hadn't completely lost the chance to start again.

But the response was mediocre, anyone would say something impassioned, the key is whether it is useful or not.

Everyone looked at Lao Zhu speechlessly, they really listened to Jun's words better than others, and didn't understand anything.

Whether Zhu Houzhao will have a long life is still a matter of debate, but they really don't see any hope for a comeback.

Zhu Houzhao's cultivation has reached the peak of Taiyi, and it is not a problem to live to the end of the world. Even if he unfortunately dies halfway, he still has enough time to eat away their remaining heritage.

Furthermore, the life contract that was just signed is a curse on their heads. If the life contract is not lifted, they will not even think about resisting the rule of Zhu Houzhao's lineage.

Who can stop them from disobeying the life contract and being punished by heaven and death.

"Grandpa, do you have a way to cancel the life contract?"

Zhu Youxiao asked directly.

Everyone also stared at Lao Zhu, as if there was a delicate flower on Lao Zhu's face.

If they can cancel the life contract, they will be able to make a comeback, but if they can't cancel the life contract, then everything will be over.

"There is nothing we can do to cancel the life contract."

There was a hint of cunning on Lao Zhu's face, and he pointed out: "But there are policies above, and countermeasures below. Let's change our thinking and find a new way to rise from another angle."

Everyone's expressions were terrified, and they said in unison: "Please enlighten me, Grandfather!"

Old Zhu laughed and said: "During the spring and Autumn period, Zhou ruled the world, and the emperor was respected. Eight hundred princes guarded the emperor and guarded the four directions on behalf of the emperor. If the emperor has something to do, the princes will do their best!"

Although the words were not clearly stated, the meaning expressed was already understood by everyone.

In an instant, everyone looked at Lao Zhu differently, with deep admiration.

If he is the great grandfather, the flexibility of thinking is not comparable to them.

The princes defend the emperor and guard the four directions on behalf of the emperor. It sounds good, but the actual meaning is that they emptied the power of Zhu Houzhao's lineage and supported the emperor as a puppet. These people are not emperors, but better than emperors.

In this way, not only can they make a comeback, but they can also avoid the shackles of the life contract.

As long as it is not an open rebellion, the life contract will not take effect.

"Gao, on the one hand, you can take back what belongs to us, and on the other hand, you don't have to be bound by the contract of life. Father, you are still the best."

Zhu Di stretched out his thumb and praised Lao Zhu for a while, lamenting that ginger is still hot.

A glimmer of hope began to emerge in the hearts of everyone who was gradually depressed, thinking that Lao Zhu's plan was very feasible.

However, they overlooked one point. No matter how good Lao Zhu's plan is, it cannot be separated from one key point, that is Zhu Houzhao.

Only when Zhu Houzhao died before them did they have the opportunity to carry out their plan, evade the emperor's power, and realize the splitting of the soil and the sealing of the frontier.

If they died before Zhu Houzhao, or Zhu Houzhao dragged them to be buried with them before he died, then their plan is just a plan, just empty talk.

In fact, they all understand these things, but no matter what, a little hope of struggle is better than nothing.

What if Zhu Houzhao really did not live long as Lao Zhu said, and died before them!

Keeping a sliver of unrealistic and insignificant hope is the source of their struggle. If there is no hope, they will only be gradually smoothed by Zhu Houzhao and become Zhu Houzhao's loyal supporters.

Just like Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, he is the most typical example of being calmed down by Zhu Houzhao.

Thinking of the scene of Zhu Chenhao ignoring his identity as Zhu Houzhao and acting as a pawn, everyone shuddered for a while. If the majestic emperor turned into such a disgraceful appearance, he might as well die.

Zhu Houzhao's method of taming falcons is not ordinary. He beats a stick and gives a sweet date, which is very sneaky.

"Let's just wait and see. When Zhu Houzhao dies before his ambition is fulfilled, our spring will come when he dies."

Looking at the fire that flashed in everyone's eyes, Lao Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

The future pattern is not decided by Zhu Houzhao, and they have to fight again.

They always firmly believed that without Zhu Houzhao's suppression, Zhu Qiyuan, a young boy, was far from their opponent.

Zhu Houzhao, who can overthrow all of them, is an exception after all, and it is rare to have one in 10 years!
