Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 127: All the mechanisms were exhausted, but everything was ruined! Unexpected Wanli!

"Ah? Brother Emperor...Brother Emperor, you..."

Zhu Yili was stunned by this order from his good brother Zhu Yijun. For a moment, he didn't even know what to say.

What? Just let him kill people? still……

Or should he kill people as his own prince?
His reputation as a prince has become so bad! If he were to be accused of "taking human life lightly" again! Doesn't that mean he needs to die? !

"Brother Imperial, isn't that Zhang Chonghui already condemned to death? There is no need for...my brother to take action again, right?"

Zhu Yijun asked cautiously. Although his emperor brother still did not explain who he asked him to kill, judging from his understanding of Zhu Yijun, if nothing unexpected happened, the only person he wanted to kill was probably the one in the prison. The scourge of "reluctant to die" is Zhang Chonghui!

"Ah? Haha." Zhu Yijun smiled, but there was something in his words: "I haven't said who it is yet, how come you guessed it was Zhang Chonghui? It seems that you understand me very well, don't you?"

Zhu Yili was frightened again and broke out in a cold sweat. It is not a bad thing for a younger brother to understand his elder brother. The bad thing is that his elder brother is the emperor who is the most powerful emperor among thousands of people, and the emperor who has the power of kingship!
Do you know what the emperor's name is? That's called trying to 'speculate the holy will'!
Are you trying to speculate on the divine will? This is a capital crime!
Faced with such 'threats' 'again and again', Zhu Yili was completely panicked!

Looking at Zhu Yijun's warm but rather strange smile, Zhu Yijun was in a trance and frightened, and was wondering about one thing -

Zhu Yijun didn't agree for a long time. Zhu Yijun could see that the other party was unwilling. After all, this was something that would last forever.

"Brother, it's okay if you don't want to. I think it's too boring for Yao'er to be alone in the palace. How about letting Yao'er enter the palace and stay with her cousin for a long time? Don't worry, when Yao'er gets married, As my uncle, I will personally help her find a 'good family'!"

The former emperor's brother had such a good temper. No matter how naughty he was, no matter how big a trouble he made, the other party would never really blame him, let alone let him do anything that was not beneficial to him.

"Shenjing?" Zhu Yili couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Where did this title come from for his daughter Zhu Xuanyao? This was obviously for him, my father!

And it’s okay for him to bear the infamy, but what about his descendants?

……

The world will sigh: Their 'merciful' Emperor attaches so much importance to family ties! It's a pity that they were all dragged down by that 'unconcerned' villain, the prince's younger brother!

……

"Brother Imperial, I am willing to do it."

By then, although his emperor brother will also be scolded by the civil servants, more importantly, he will be pitied by the people of the world.

But it barely lasted a moment before the father closed his eyes as if he were dead, put his forehead against the ground and said:

Zhang Jianxiu has been kneeling here for almost a whole day. Perhaps the linen clothes on his body and the coffin beside him were too conspicuous, so almost everyone passing by would join in the fun and ask him what he was doing.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yili felt even more terrible!

"Brother, don't cry, I will feel sorry for you." Zhu Yijun patted Zhu Yili's shoulder, comforted him seriously, and then said:

Zhu Yixuan didn't dare to gamble with his daughter's life. Notoriousness was just a matter of notoriety. He could only ignore it...

Especially his daughter, Zhu Yili cried even more unbearably when he thought that he would bring down the reputation of his young baby daughter.

By that time, among the civil servants in the dynasty who talk about "benevolence, justice and morality", who can tolerate him, the already "notorious" puppet prince?
"Brother Emperor... I really know that I was wrong..." Zhu Yili cried. This time, he truly shed tears from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't worry, after the matter is completed, I will immediately issue an order for you and your wife and children to go to the vassal territory to join the vassal.

How...has it become like this now? Becoming so callous and heartless! It even seems like there are some... mental problems?
Just when Zhu Yiliu was debating whether to play the emotional card and use the rhetoric of 'same mother's compatriots' and 'family brotherhood' to help him beg for mercy, his emperor brother spoke again.

——How come his brother has become so strange?
Zhu Yili remembered that the previous imperial brother was not like this...

Naturally, there are also a few officials who are 'just-minded' who did not forget to curse a few words before leaving - "After the sinner, you still have no shame and shame here! I will go back to Shangshu to impeach you!"

And in the future, she might even get married to a yellow-haired boy who doesn't know whether he's a cow or a horse by her 'ruthless' imperial uncle.

Zhu Yirui knew very well that if he really disregarded human life, his emperor brother would definitely be the first to stand up and "suffer" for him openly and openly in full view of the public.

Although Zhu Yili no longer wanted to get involved in these disputes, he thought that if he did not follow the emperor's brother's wishes, his precious daughter would be forcibly brought into the palace to be raised.

But Zhu Yijun didn't care whether the other party was willing or not, he directly threatened:

Zhang Jianxiu said he didn't care about these people and things joining in the fun. After all, his 'purpose' itself was to 'embarrass' him!

His brother, the emperor, was warning him to 'respect' the monarch at all times!

Deng Wengu, get off.

"Don't be nervous, the person I want you to kill is not Zhang Chonghui." Zhu Yijun smiled broadly and looked like a good big brother.

The scolding that His Majesty the Emperor received less because of his "emphasis on emotions" will ultimately have to be borne by Zhu Yixi, an "ignorant" and "domineering" relative of the emperor.

By then, the number of times their father and daughter have met can be counted on their fingers...

Such a clear statement was a 'threat', which directly shocked his daughter slave Zhu Yiliu.

Zhu Yili left, heading straight for the Denwen Drum he passed by on his way back and forth.

If you die, you will be buried. You can't ruin the happiness of the living for the sake of the reputation of the dead.

Just like these years, although everyone has been scolding His Majesty the Emperor for doting on the younger brother of King Lu, Zhu Yiliu.

Sometimes rumors can really kill people.

But after hearing such a thing, most people sighed with emotion - His Majesty the Emperor is really emotional!
As we all know, the energy of everything is conserved, it will only transfer, not decrease.

Zhu Yili knew very well that even if he could escape death this time, he would not be able to escape eternal infamy.

By the way, I'm also going to give Yao Er a princess title. I've already thought of a name for it, so I'll call it... Shen Jing, how about it? "

After all, Zhang Chonghui is destined to die. Killing the opponent will only result in some scolding, which is not a big deal!
But if those who were killed were 'ordinary people'... wouldn't that really mean taking human life lightly?

Everyone came with curiosity, but when everyone learned that he was Zhang Juzheng's son, and that he was redressing the injustice of his nephew who was "waiting for death" in prison, these people who joined in the fun were like hiding from the god of plague. Dodged.

"Si Zhe, listen to my advice and let's go back! You have been kneeling here all day, and the emperor will not see you!"

Compared with others who ran away after scolding, Luo Sigong seemed to be very 'companionable' because he was the only one who stayed with Zhang Jianxiu all day long.

Faced with Luo Sigong's "good words of advice", Zhang Jianxiu said impatiently:
"I'm talking about Luo Gongbao. I've been nagging you all day. Are you annoyed? If you have nothing to do, get out of here! Don't be an eyesore in front of me!"

Zhang Jianxiu didn't save any face for Luo Sigong when he scolded him, and he seemed to have forgotten that it was Luo Sigong who paid for the coffin.

However, in the face of Zhang Jianxiu's ruthless scolding, Luo Sigong was not angry at all. Instead, he shrank back like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law and said helplessly:

"Why don't you listen to my advice? If you act like this, something will really happen... Your Majesty, he... ugh..."

"Something happened? What happened?" As he spoke, Zhang Jianxiu took out an old and tattered book, with the word "Da Gao" written on it, and said loudly:
"This "Da Gao" was personally compiled by Taizu Emperor Gao when he was in power. It is the best of my daimyo's laws!

Emperor Taizu Gao once said that anyone who has been wronged and has nowhere to turn can come to the capital with this "Great Edict" and personally appeal to the Emperor of Heaven!

Now I hold this "Great Edict" and carry the coffin under the Dengwen Drum. If I sound the Dengwen Drum, according to the ancestral system, the emperor should meet me in person!
Luo Gongbao, did you just say that something would happen to me like this? What happened? Also, you hesitated and mentioned the emperor. What do you mean?
how? Do you mean that the emperor does not take into account the dynastic laws established by Emperor Taizu Gao? Or do you mean that the emperor will let something happen to me? "

"Zhang Sizhe, are you crazy!" Being slapped with such a big label by Zhang Jianxiu in public, Luo Sigong was lying if he said he was not panicking, but after getting angry, he still sighed truthfully:
"The "Da Gao" has been in vain since the Hongwu Year. Just give up. Even if you beat all the Dengwen drums, the emperor will not even look at you."

Faced with this painstaking exhortation, Zhang Jianxiu seemed to be completely unable to listen to the words, and still said stubbornly: "Whether the emperor sees me or not is the emperor's business. It is not your turn, Luo Gongbao, to point fingers here, so long-winded!"

"Sizhe!" Luo Sigong knelt down directly next to Zhang Jianxiu. This time he said in a pleading tone: "I beg you, let's go back! If you don't leave..."

"What if you don't leave?" Zhang Jianxiu asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Just..." Luo Sigong remained silent after all.

Although he didn't give an answer, Luo Sigong knew that Zhang Jianxiu knew his answer.

Both of them knew very well that if Zhang Jianxiu didn't leave, he would die!
Facts have proved that everything seems to be too late.

Because the huge crowd in the distance means that the person who wants Zhang Jianxiu to die is here!
"Luo Gongbao." Zhang Jianxiu seemed to have been prepared for a long time. After seeing the crowd coming towards him, he who was still fierce in speech now became rare and gentle, and said to Luo Sigong:

"I know you like me, but I really don't like men. Although you are disgusting, if you are reincarnated as a good-looking woman in your next life, I can barely accept it." Luo Sigong: "..."

"No." Zhang Jianxiu seemed to have remembered something, and added: "What if I am also a woman in the next life? Hiss... forget it, let's not meet again in the next life!"

"Zhang Sizhe! You!" Luo Sigong was really speechless by Zhang Jianxiu's 'last words', but at this moment, he was still feeling more uncomfortable.

Because he is very likely to have to watch the other person die in front of him, and all he can do is helpless...

Seeing the crowd coming closer and closer, Luo Sigong's mind became more and more confused!
Seeing that Zhang Jianxiu was ready to wait for death, Luo Sigong hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth, raised his hand and struck the opponent on the back of the head!

"Hiss...are you sick? Attack me secretly? Luo Gongbao, even if I don't like you, you can't get angry and attack me secretly!"

Zhang Jianxiu covered the back of his neck with a pained expression, but did not faint as Luo Sigong imagined.

Luo Sigong was even more embarrassed and didn't know what to do...

Just when the atmosphere was tense and awkward, a voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.

"What are you two doing? Are you disgusting?"

Both of them were startled by the sudden sound. Xu was too 'involved', so they didn't realize Zhang Yunxiu was standing behind them until now.

Zhang Yunxiu, who was wearing a black cloak, was seen frowning tightly. The young man in his twenties seemed to be unable to understand what the two grown men in front of him had just said and done, and his face was full of disgust.

"Lao Wu, why are you here?" Zhang Jianxiu was also surprised. Why did his brother come at the critical moment? When he thought of what was about to happen, he hurriedly shouted:

"Hurry up! No! You have to run! Old Five, run! They are coming! Run!"

Faced with his brother's kind words and advice, Zhang Yunxiu remained calm and looked at the crowd that was about to come. He seemed to have been prepared for it!

"Lao Wu! Run!" Zhang Jianxiu hurriedly advised his younger brother, but the other party ignored him. Helpless, he had no choice but to turn to Luo Sigong:

"Luo Gongbao, take my brother and run away! I'm begging you!"

However, at this time, Luo Sigong was like a piece of wood, his eyes were filled with confusion and he was completely stunned!

"Luo Gongbao! I beg you! Take my brother and run away!"

Zhang Jianxiu, who had been so strong all his life, said the word "begging" for the first time. However, he did not get Luo Sigong's consent.

Facing Luo Sigong's gradually enlightened eyes, Zhang Jianxiu, who was undefended, was struck by the opponent's palm again!
This time, Zhang Jianxiu was completely knocked unconscious. At the same time as he fainted, he heard what his younger brother Zhang Yunxiu said -

——"Fourth brother, it's enough for you to do embarrassing things. Next, let me do it!"

Looking at the royal guard of honor who was so close, Zhang Yunxiu's hand under his broad cloak once again clenched the sharp dagger!
At the same time, Zhang Yunxiu recalled the conversation between Zhang Chonghui and him not long ago.

"Do you really dare to risk it?"

"dare!"

"You may die, do you dare?"

"dare!"

"Okay, then you weigh the stabbing. Whether you can survive or not depends on your fate."

"Ok!"

The memory came to an abrupt end, and the young prince's angry voice could be heard in his ears. Zhang Yunxiu didn't know what the other party was shouting. He only knew that the other party's hand holding the knife was shaking. It was obviously the first time and he was panicking.

It was also Zhang Yunxiu's first time holding a knife to do such a thing, but he had practiced the comparison many times.

"Huh... take a deep breath. It's okay."

As Zhang Yunxiu exhaled, he tore off the black cloak that tightly wrapped his body and threw it into the sky!

Accompanied by the clatter of clothes, the dazzlingly white mourning clothes underneath shined in everyone's eyes!

Before anyone could realize what was happening, they saw Zhang Yunxiu holding a sharp dagger and stabbing himself in the abdomen!
Maybe the mourning clothes were too white, so white that the red flowers dyed with blood bloomed very fast, so fast that they spread and bloomed in the blink of an eye.

The flowers were so red that they made some people's eyes red.

……

Ancestral Temple.

After Zhu Yili left, Zhu Yijun did not leave the Ancestral Temple. He still knelt quietly in front of the tablets of his ancestors.

At this moment, it was like going back to when he made a mistake as a child and was punished to kneel down.

As before, it still takes several hours to kneel down, and even if there is a futon for cushioning, you will still be lame for a long time after getting up.

Everything seemed to be the same as before, except that in the past, someone else was punishing him as the emperor.

But now...it is he, the emperor, who is punishing himself.

"Your Majesty." Chen Ju limped over and reported to his Majesty the Emperor everything that had happened under the Dengwen drum...

The general content has been reported.

However, Emperor Wanli seemed not to hear it and had no reaction at all.

Chen Ju had no choice but to say it over and over again, in different ways.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Lu was frightened and fainted on the spot. Zhang Jianxiu also fainted for some reason. Fortunately, Zhang Yunxiu survived despite bleeding all over the floor."

"Your Majesty, the palace is a forbidden area with strict rules. Zhang Yunxiu was able to enter with a knife. The people below must have neglected their duties. I have already asked people to conduct a careful interrogation of the people below. In addition, in order to prevent any omissions, I also ordered the entire east factory to be inspected. Checked it out."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wangge has come to hand in his resignation in person. He is taking off his hat and kneeling outside the Huangji Palace. He said that if you don't agree with his resignation, he won't get up..."

"Your Majesty, all the officials have remonstrated on the matter and impeached His Highness Prince Lu..."

"Your Majesty, Yu Shenxing and others are also coming..."

"Your Majesty... Ying Tianfu's Imperial College has jointly submitted a petition to ask you to let the emperor's eldest son leave the cabinet as soon as possible..."

"Your Majesty, you have been kneeling for more than two hours. It's late at night. Get up..."

With Chen Ju's murmuring in his ears, Zhu Yijun seemed to have heard what the other party said, but he seemed not to have heard it. He only focused his eyes on the tablet of his grandfather, Emperor Zhu Houcong of Jiajing.

Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, the mute emperor finally spoke out.

"After all, I'm still not as good as my grandfather..."

Zhu Yijun murmured helplessly and sighed.

He originally thought that he had exhausted all the traps, but he didn't expect that in the end, the other party actually had another trick up his sleeve and caught him off guard with just 'suicide'.

You think you have exhausted all your traps, you think you are willing to risk everything, but in the end, you are just one foot taller than the devil.

Zhu Yijun didn't expect that in the end, the 'other party' would actually risk everything and be more courageous than him...

Now, his original plans not only turned into a 'putting the cart before the horse' joke, but also had a 'backfire' result.

Everything he had was ruined and in chaos...

"Your Majesty? What did you say?" Chen Ju, who was hard of hearing, failed to hear His Majesty the Emperor's words clearly.

Zhu Yijun still didn't blame Chen Ju for being deaf. After all, he still had no choice but to say:

"Go and bring Zhang Chonghui, I want to see him."
