Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 4
Zhu Youjian's figure is a little thin, but his eyes are burning and energetic, revealing a viciousness and arrogance.

Now, as long as he pushes open this door, he can see his imperial brother, the one who treats him well but guards against him.

Although Zhu Youjian knew that his imperial brother was in danger and was just waiting to die, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't know how to face his imperial brother.

For the sake of Daming's country and the foundation of the Zhu family's dynasty, he had to do this. The gentlemen had told him that as long as his imperial brother was still in power, Daming would be one day closer to perishing.

As a descendant of Emperor Hongwu, I must take the responsibility of saving the Daming country, so I had to agree with the gentlemen's plan to let my brother leave this world early.

"Open the door."

Zhu You checked the corners of his eyes, squeezed out a few tears, made a sad look, and gave a hoarse instruction.

Although the death of the emperor's brother is not worth crying for the demise of Daming Jiangshan, but as the future emperor and the symbol of the order of the empire, he must set an example of respecting and loving his brother for the subjects of the world.

The innermost palace door opened, but what Zhu Youjian saw was three corpses and a pool of blood all over the ground, but there was no figure of his imperial brother on the dragon couch.

Zhu Youjian was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that things might have changed, and his imperial brother might not be seriously ill.

He couldn't help becoming a little anxious, looking at Taichang Temple Minister Zheng Sanjun, who was already covered in blood, the two young eunuchs, and the scabbard of the sword beside the bed, he seemed to have guessed what happened just now.

"He shouldn't be able to run very far. Send an order to search around the Qianqing Palace immediately. Be sure to catch him. The eunuchs are coming soon. You must catch him before they enter the inner court!"

The he mentioned by Zhu Youjian naturally refers to Zhu Youxiao. He never expected that his imperial brother would run away under such circumstances. He suddenly became a little worried, secretly surprised that his imperial brother did not seem to be as easy to deal with as he imagined .

Zhu Youjian gave an order, and all the guards who obeyed his orders shouted "Yes!" Then they quickly launched a drag-net search around the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Highness, now our people should immediately seize all the exits of the inner court, so that His Majesty cannot escape to meet that eunuch Wei Zhongxian."

At this time, Cao Huachun, an official in the palace, came over to remind Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian nodded, and walked into the hall, but at this moment, a blue and white porcelain vase beside the bed caught his attention.

Because there are bloody fingerprints on this blue and white porcelain vase.

Zhu Youjian stepped forward, held the blue and white porcelain vase, and subconsciously turned it around, and the secret passage opened wide.

"It turned out that he escaped from here, go down and chase immediately!"

"Yes!"

Most of the guards who were still present got under, and this Zhu Youjian also waved his robe to leave here, but when he passed by Zheng Sanjun's body.

Zheng Sanjun suddenly exploded, hugged him tightly with one hand, and pressed the sword to Zhu Youjian's throat with the other: "Don't move!"

"Brother Emperor?"

Zhu Youjian's mind went blank for a moment. Since Zheng Sanjun's sudden outburst just now, he realized that his imperial brother was always in front of him, but he was just pretending to be Zheng Sanjun.

"Now that you know that I am your imperial brother, the person who told you to step down immediately!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't escape from the secret passage. He didn't like to do things that were not sure. He didn't know whether the secret passage was really a secret passage, so he chose a risky method.

That is to pretend to be Zheng Sanjun and hold Zhu Youjian hostage.

At this time, several guards who were still around Zhu Youjian surrounded him, but none of them dared to do anything.

"Brother Emperor, it's not that my younger brother insists on murdering you, it's just that you are not worthy of being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This younger brother is doing everything for the foundation of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youjian tried his best to defend, and at the same time he was busy winking with his guards, which meant to tell them not to act rashly.

"It sounds good, Daming will only perish faster if you hand it over to you, first accompany me to leave this Qianqing Palace, if you still want to make any bad ideas, don't blame me for not thinking of brotherhood!"

Zhu Youxiao yelled, "Let's go!"

Zhu Youjian had to be held hostage by Zhu Youxiao and walked outside the Qianqing Palace.

"What to do, His Royal Highness Xin Wang was kidnapped by His Majesty, doesn't it mean that His Majesty is already dying?"

"That's right, His Majesty doesn't seem to be sick now. Now that His Majesty knows that those of us who believe in His Majesty have evil intentions, will we be executed by everyone!"

"Your Majesty can't be allowed to leave here now. Once he is allowed to go out and meet Nine Thousand Years, we will all be finished. He must be killed!"

When the people around Zhu Youjian were talking about it, Zhu Youxiao also told him: "It's best not to act rashly, I can forgive you for your sins before, but now if anyone dares to try To murder me, I dare to guarantee that he will kill his nine clans in the future!"

Hearing that the carpenter emperor directly pardoned his sins, these guards of Zhu Youjian did not dare to act rashly, but they automatically gave way to let Zhu Youxiao escort Zhu Youjian out of the Qianqing Palace smoothly.

"Brother Huang, put down your sword first. Since you have recovered, I will never dare to think anything wrong." Zhu Youjian knew that once he went out with his brother, it would mean that the coup d'état had completely failed. But he was not reconciled, and could only try his best to defend himself.

"It's not a day or two for your unreasonable thoughts. The toxins in my body must have worked for at least half a year."

Zhu Youxiao did not easily believe in the 16-year-old boy under his sword. He knew the character of the future Emperor Chongzhen very well.

Zhu Youxiao understands that he is not out of the dangerous situation yet. He has to persist and insist on walking outside the Qianqing Palace. As long as he walks out of the Qianqing Palace, he will have a chance. The emperor didn't take any precautions.

Even if he doesn't have one, don't Wei Zhongxian and his eunuch colleagues don't?

The Supervisor of Rituals, Jin Yiwei, the Cabinet, the six yamen...

Zhu Youxiao didn't believe that he had only been ill for a few months, and the entire imperial court inside and outside the Ming Dynasty had become his Zhu Youjian's people!

According to Zhu Youxiao's memory, as long as Zhu Youjian has not ascended the throne, the court should still be ruled by the eunuchs.

The Donglin Party is still being suppressed, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei are still under the control of Wei Zhongxian.

As a time traveler, Zhu Youxiao doesn't bother to think about the right and wrong of the eunuch party. All he has to do is to use the eunuch party to save himself, because it is the Donglin party that Zhu Youjian and Zheng Sanjun are talking about that are harming him now!

"Why hasn't Zheng Sanjun appeared yet?"

Zhu Youxiao said this on purpose.

Zhu Youjian suddenly showed a look of astonishment: "What!" Immediately, taking advantage of Zhu Youxiao's unpreparedness, he immediately shouted: "Decree, send someone to look for Zheng Sanjun immediately, once you meet Zheng Sanjun, shoot him to death!"

Ah!
Zhu Youjian screamed, blood gurgled from his neck, and he grinned in pain.

"Brother Emperor!"

Zhu Youxiao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I just scratched it once. If you talk again, I will cut your neck without hesitation!"

　I will try to keep two updates in the future, thank you for your comments!
