Chapter 82 1. The life of hide and seek

Life is a deck of cards, and it is God's business to draw it well or not.Whether you play well or not is up to you. If it is said that Zhu Houcong, Emperor Jiajing, is a deck of cards, then the crown prince is the one who caught this deck of cards, and no one knows who is playing this deck of cards. why?Because Zhu Houcong lived a little long. The emperors of the Ming Empire basically didn't live very long.You have become the emperor, what are you doing for so long?No matter how much life energy and passion there is, the harem can't resist the wolves tearing at it like a tiger.However, it is precisely because of enjoying boundless happiness that all emperors yearn for longevity and heaven, immortal fortune and eternal prosperity.

This wish came true in Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong, who lived to be sixty years old.It can be seen that his research on pseudo-science alchemy has still made a breakthrough.It is inevitable to fill the gap in the world - but maybe he would live longer if he didn't take the pill, but this is not in line with the crown prince's wish. Emperor Sejong Jiajing Zhu Houcong had more sons, giving birth to eight in total.The eldest is Zhu Zaiji, he was born to see the world, he felt that there was nothing interesting, and he died as soon as he closed his eyes.The second child is called Zhu Zaihe, so logically speaking, he should be the crown prince of the empire.

But Tao Zhongwen, a Taoist priest, entered the palace at this time to help Zhu Houcong overcome technical difficulties and refine the elixir as soon as possible.He said to Zhu Houcong: "Your Majesty, do you know why the emperors of your ancestors were so short-lived?" Zhu Houcong asked, "Why?" Tao Zhongwen explained, "Because, they were all suppressed by the prince. Damn, why does the prince want to restrain his own father? Because, the emperor and the prince are both dragons, two dragons, two dragons do not meet each other, they must restrain each other when they meet. Why do two dragons restrain each other when they meet? Because... ...Anyway, are you right?"

When Zhu Houcong heard it, he suddenly realized: "What you said is too reasonable, so what, let the second child disappear for me immediately, and don't let me see him." Therefore, the fate of this unlucky second child, Zhu Zaihe, is just like his name, full of abysses and dangers.Ever since he was sensible, he kept moving around the palace, avoiding everywhere.If Zhu Houcong went east, he had to run west; if Zhu Houcong went south, he had to hide north.It is certain that he had no idea what terrible thing he was hiding from.All he knew was that this world was too terrifying, there was something chasing him, once he was caught, he would definitely be devoured to nothing.

When he was young, Zhu Zaihe didn't understand very well, he thought that everyone in the world lived such a terrible life, but as he grew older, he gradually had doubts: "Hey, why do other people live so badly? How about being relaxed and free, without the need to be exhausted in strategic shifts and avoiding the pursuit of the big devil? Why is it my turn to live such a life of misery?" Wisdom arises from pain. Once this question arises, Zhu Zaihe's life is immediately shrouded in endless darkness. Just when he was in extreme pain, a more terrible misfortune befell him. At the request of his courtiers, he was elected as the crown prince of the empire.In other dynasties, the position of the Crown Prince would have resulted in numerous dead bodies.But in Zhu Zaihe's case, it means that he has to avoid his father Zhu Houcong more carefully, if he is not careful, if the two bump into each other face to face, the father will definitely tear him to pieces.The father and son have played hide-and-seek with each other all their lives, and have never met each other. They don't even know each other's looks. There can be no family affection at all, and there is only hatred and resentment.In this context, the crown prince's life is tantamount to the pain in purgatory, hiding here and there, digging holes everywhere, such a life... Who would be happy with it?

So after ten years of hiding from cats and cats, Crown Prince Zhu Zaihe finally got tired one day, closed his eyes and died. Before he died, he said: "This is not the life I want—it really is not." The second child Zhu Zaihe left the scene in grief and indignation, and the third child Zhu Zaihou walked into history. So we say that Zhu Houcong is a super bad and super bad card, and it is Zhu Zaihe who catches this deck, but Zhu Zaihou is the one who plays this deck. So what kind of person is this Zhu Zaihou?
