Chapter 28 He wants to be our emperor!
Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang has sat back in his high position, with a calm face, as if nothing happened just now, and he is still reviewing the memorials as usual.
Just the wrinkled test paper on the table seemed to remind Zhu Yuanzhang that his heart was not as calm as he looked on the outside.
Hearing someone entering the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he was about to get angry. When he looked up and saw it was Zhu Biao, he suppressed his anger and said with a cold face: "Boss, what are you doing here?"
Zhu Biao was outside the palace. He actually noticed it and probably knew that Zhu Biao had listened to the whole process. Now that Zhu Biao entered the palace, his purpose was self-evident.
This made him feel angry.
Just pressing it down deliberately.
Zhu Biao's face was a little unnatural, his body was a little stiff, he did not dare to look directly into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and said tremblingly: "Go back to my father, my son and I were outside the palace just now."
"Father. Erchen listened to the conversation between the emperor and Xia Zhibai. Erchen... Erchen wanted to intercede for Xia Zhibai. "
"My son believes that although Xia Zhibai offended and contradicted his father, he was out of public motives and thought wholeheartedly for his father and the Ming Dynasty." If I, the Ming Dynasty, don’t cherish the righteous people and kill them at will.”
“It’s really chilling.” I am also afraid that the people of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have such integrity and blood, and I am even more frightened that the people of the Ming Dynasty will lose their hearts."
"My father, please spare his life."
Zhu Biao spread his palms flat on the ground, his attitude extremely respectful.
Seeing Zhu Biao begging him in such a low voice for Xia Zhibai, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and his face became a little ferocious.
He couldn’t understand either.
Why did Zhu Biao intercede for Xia Zhibai.
For such a person who is bent on seeking death, what love can he ask for? Is he worthy of being asked to beg for mercy by Zhu Biao?
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of anger and he cursed: "Boss, we have worked hard to train you and let you read so many books. Didn't we just ask you to kneel down for us? We didn't ask you to make us angry."
< br>“We didn’t ask you to kneel, so you’re not allowed to kneel!”
“Stand up for us!”
Zhu Biao’s body trembled, his face turned slightly pale, and his head dropped. His head was lower, but he still gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, motionless.
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry and laughed back: "Okay, you are really our good son. It is becoming more and more useless for us to speak now. Since you want to kneel, then I will let you kneel as long as you can. Until you don’t want to kneel down!”
"Can't we defeat you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, fearing that Zhu Biaojian's temper would really get worse, and said: "Let me also tell you, this Xia Zhibai is not as good as you think, he He's very excited, do you know what he said in Gongyuan?"
"He doesn't just want to be the number one scholar."
"He wants to be the number one scholar in Tiance, Tiance. Are these two words what he can ask for? The last person who got the top prize was Li Shimin. "When he first took part in the imperial examination, he wanted to be the top candidate. What else would he want in the future?" br>
"He wants to rebel!"
"He wants to be our emperor."
"What he said to us in the palace means the same thing inside and out. , I don’t deserve to be the emperor, but he does.”
“He wants to take the throne of our family.”
“You still want to speak for him? Pleading? Why are you so stubborn? He will want your life from now on!”
"We are doing all this for your own good!"
Zhu Biao said: "I am grateful to my father for his kindness, but I do not think that Xia Zhibai has such a conspiracy as my father said."< br>
“You mean we blamed him wrongly?” Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao coldly.
"Yes."
"Unbridled!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and the anger in his heart could no longer be concealed.
"We can be wrong?"
"We can't be wrong!"
"He cannot represent the scholars in the world!" "Then what else can Xia Zhibai do besides saying nice things? ? What achievements have you really made? ”
“We haven’t heard of it”
"But we know that we have actually done something for the world."
"What we despise most is that these people only talk empty words, never do real things, and just like to talk about national affairs. Scholars.”
“We have also read the books they have read, and we have also read the books they have not read. We know no less than he does, and we know more than he does. , or much more!”
“We get up at four o’clock every day and review memorials until midnight. We only sleep for two or three hours every day, and we often wake up in the middle of the night.”
"I'm afraid it's not handled well."
"We review as many as four to five hundred memorials every day, and the words we write every day sometimes amount to tens of thousands of words."
"We are the ones who really do practical things for this world."
"Is there anyone in the world who is more diligent and loves the people than us?"
Zhu Biao said: "My son has never wavered in doubting my father's heart of being diligent and loving the people. It's just that I think it's better to stay. The benefits to the Ming Dynasty outweigh the disadvantages."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were red and his face was extremely angry. He stood up suddenly: "That's enough! You bastard! ”
"Do you really think we don't dare to touch you?!"
"You have to know that the palace built by the second and third children in the fiefdom is almost as big as ours. Which one of you brothers is not right? There was a desire to covet the throne.”
“It was me who kept them from having any dissent.”
“You can stand in front of us so securely because we protect you. Feng Sheng, can you still stand in front of us and plead for others?”
“Kneel down if you want.”
"Let me tell you clearly, this Xia Zhibai must die, we must kill him!"
Zhu Yuanzhang has never said such serious words, nor has he ever expressed such thunderous anger. Zhu Biao was also frightened Lived.
He knelt on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes. He knew that he had completely angered his father by pleading for Xia Zhibai today.
It also completely aroused my father’s murderous intention.
Today, Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intention towards Xia Zhibai has reached the extreme, and he believes that Xia Zhibai's existence has affected the relationship between their father and son.
Zhu Biao choked with sobs. There was nothing he could do to dissuade his father who was already enveloped in murderous intent. Whatever he said was in vain.
It’s just that he really doesn’t want to see such an ending.
He raised his head and saw his father with a stern face and frosty eyes. His heart trembled slightly, and an unspeakable fear struck his heart again.
He lowered his head, his eyes full of frustration and helplessness, and said: "I know my mistake."
"It's just..."
"It's just, there's nothing just." Zhu Yuanzhang directly interrupted Zhu Biao's words, and said forcefully and domineeringly: "We don't want to listen to your so-called reasons and excuses. We just want you to listen to us honestly now."
"We will not harm you."
"Sooner or later, this world will be handed over to you. We don't want any accidents to happen, not even a little bit."
"This The most treacherous people in the world are these literati. They have many ideas, high morals, and talk about courtesy, justice, and integrity. You can't fight against these people."
"We have to pave the way for you first. , I will do the evil ones, I will kill those who deserve to be killed, I will clean up those that need to be dealt with, and I will leave you a stable world without leaving any hidden dangers.”
"We just want you to be a peaceful emperor!"
Zhu Biao's eyes were filled with pain, and he shook his head and said: "Father, this is not what I want at all. I don't want my father's hands to have so much blood on his hands. "
"My son just wants a harmonious family."
Zhu Yuanzhang folded his hands and couldn't listen at all. He didn't need Zhu Biao's approval, he just needed Zhu Biao to disobey him. , do it according to your own thoughts.
That's enough!
His good intentions now will naturally be understood when Zhu Biao takes the throne in the future.
Seeing this, the pain in Zhu Biao's eyes became even stronger, and his face was distorted in pain. He lowered his head and said with a choked voice: "Father, I just saw my mother."< br>
