Chapter 40 8. The closing curtain falls and the wind rises

It is said that Zhu Gaoxu pretended to leave the city and came to beg for surrender, and he was waiting for the result outside.Zhu Zhanji was so excited that he almost passed out. To be honest, this time the royal convoy took a huge risk.God knows if something will happen in the capital after he leaves?God knows if these escorts will suddenly stab him while walking halfway?God knows if a surprise soldier will suddenly appear in this small city of Le'an?Zhu Zhanji had considered everything, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to surrender so easily. Excited, Zhu Zhanji announced: Zhu Gaoxu's family will be imprisoned in the capital, and no one will be killed to show tolerance.All the officials in the city were taken away and handed over to the judiciary for accountability. The rest of the people and soldiers were all innocent.

The army turned around and went home in a mighty way. When they arrived in the capital, the old minister Yang Shiqi came and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Han has already taken down, and there is another King of Zhao, Zhu Gaosui. On the contrary, Your Majesty, you have become a benevolent monarch. A benevolent monarch will suffer a lot. If you don’t suffer a disadvantage, what kind of benevolent monarch is you if you take advantage of others? Zhu Gaosui can be unreasonable and rebellious, but you can’t kill him, Your Majesty. What should I do?" Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "How do I know what to do, but since you have brought up this matter, there is probably a good way?" Yang Shiqi said: "It's very simple, send a guy with a sharp mouth and order him to see King Zhao Zhu Gaosui, and let him know what to do." Zhu Gaosui handed over all the soldiers and horses by himself, so that he can't rebel and you don't have to kill him, isn't this the way of a wise king."

Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed, and immediately wrote a letter in his own hand, and handed it to his son-in-law Yuan Rong, and Yu Shi Liu Guan sent it.But Zhu Gaosui was so frightened when he heard that the King of Han had been wiped out in an instant.I knew that I was not Zhu Zhanji's opponent, and I was afraid that Zhu Zhanji would come to trouble him. I was overjoyed when I suddenly received this letter. I knew that as long as I was willing to be a rich man in the country and give up my political ambitions, Zhu Zhanji would not Bully him.So he followed the request in the letter, handed over all the armed forces, and it was over here.

Zhu Gaosui passed the border safely, but Zhu Gaoxu, who had become a prisoner, ran into trouble again in the end. According to Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji's self-report, one day, he suddenly felt kindness, so he went to visit Zhu Gaoxu's prison cell, but Zhu Gaoxu's shameless fellow rushed over with a stride, with a strange lotus leg, and he heard a slap , Zhu Zhanji fell face down firmly on the ground.At that time, Zhu Zhanji was on fire, and a carp jumped up on the spot, and ordered his men to move a large copper tank, put Zhu Gaoxu in it, put charcoal on it, and roast it slowly. Copper vats are running around everywhere... But Zhu Zhanji's account is very suspicious. There is no circumstantial evidence at all. It's just what he said, and the historian will remember it. Without Zhu Gaoxu's lawyer defending, there is not enough evidence. legality.

The actual situation is that Zhu Gaoxu is too able to live. He has no scheming and basically doesn't use his brain, so his life energy is consumed less and his lifeline is extremely long.Obviously, at that time, Zhu Zhanji already felt his physical discomfort. He found that Zhu Gaoxu might live longer than him——when Zhu Zhanji was alive, he could settle Zhu Gaoxu.But if he died, who would be the opponent of this old guy? It may also be that Zhu Zhanji didn't feel his physical discomfort, but in any case, he will not keep Zhu Gaoxu anymore, this guy is too troublesome, as long as he is alive, troubles will happen sooner or later.

In addition, there is a greater possibility that Zhu Zhanji suddenly remembered that Zhu Gaoxu had humiliated him when he was young.This humiliation was not recorded in the history books, but it was burned in Zhu Zhanji's heart. Once he thought of it, he would feel strong anger—otherwise, why would he carry a big copper coin when he went to the prison to visit the prison? tank?When he went to the prison, he had already planned to roast Zhu Gaoxu with charcoal. There is a record in the history books, it is said that when Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen just became the prince, he happened to meet Zhu Di, so Zhu Di sneered and said: "Just you little bastard? Are you worthy of being emperor? Let's die as soon as possible... ..." In the early years, Zhu Di looked down on Zhu Yunwen, and then Zhu Gaoxu, how could he put Zhu Zhanji in his eyes?

Look at the big copper vat carried by Zhu Zhanji again—who would carry a big vat when visiting a prison?Obviously, Zhu Zhanji had an unbearable memory when he was a child.At that time, Zhu Gaoxu probably locked him in the big tank. Considering that Zhu Zhanji's father is a fat boy who is bullied, the probability of this happening is already more than 100%. To put it simply, in one sentence, Zhu Zhanji took revenge in his life. and then?And then... nothing in the world seemed to need him anymore.The emperor has become an emperor, the benevolent monarch has also done it, the enemy has been slaughtered, and a son is born—by the way, there is one more thing, this child was not born to the queen, and a beautiful Sun Guifei claimed to be responsible for the birth of this child... But some historians believe that this child has nothing to do with Concubine Sun Gui.Instead, Concubine Sun had discussed with the eunuchs in the palace in advance. After seeing which beautiful palace lady was pregnant by Zhu Zhanji, she would imprison the other party, and when she gave birth to a child, she would claim that she made it... this child His name is Zhu Qizhen...it doesn't matter what it's called.The most important thing is that Concubine Sun Gui asked herself to be the queen.This matter is no small matter, in the history of mankind, most of the people who replaced the queen were done by the stupid king, and the wise king would not do it.And Zhu Zhanji is a wise king, so he definitely can't do it.

But Zhu Zhanji believes that if his son's mother is just a noble concubine, it will cast an indelible shadow on the child's future life.Go to your mother's Mingjun, for the sake of the child, I am desperate. So another major event broke out in Zhu Zhanji's era, the Queen's Contest. This matter has been played by many officials, expressing strong protest.However, because people at that time had experienced too many wars, they remained within a reasonable range, and a large number of unemployed people had not yet appeared, and most of the people still had jobs left.So this is also called an enlightened era. After the ministers clamored, this matter was forgotten.

After this incident, Zhu Zhanji wrote poems and painted paintings in the palace, and then went out for private visits in micro-services, wandered around, and then passed away happily. Thus, the sixth and eighth emperor of the Ming Empire, Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, made his debut. This year, he was just seven years old.
