Chapter 402: It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t think of it, but I don¡¯t dare to think about it
When Zhu Qiyu saw Zhu Qizhen, who was hugging Zhu Jianshen, appearing at the archway with a smile, a breath of turbidity that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time slowly came out, as if most of the accumulated illness had been cured.
Using his hands hard, he stood up from the couch, but after thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu still leaned back on the couch with some hesitation and closed his eyes. Gradually, the footsteps got closer and closer, and the sounds of children playing and adults talking and laughing could also be heard.
At this time, Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes as if aware of it, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and happened to be looking at Zhu Qizhen who had just placed Zhu Jianji on the stone path. For a moment, the two brothers looked at each other. At this moment, only the few ignorant children strode forward under the guidance of Zhu Jianshen and came a few steps away from Zhu Qiyu's bed. They all saluted: "My nephew has met his uncle."
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but be a little stunned, and subconsciously bowed slightly and said: "I don't dare to be a prince."
"My father has said that when I come to see my uncle, I will only talk about family affairs. Then naturally I am just my uncle's nephew. You should accept this gift." Zhu Jianshen replied with a smile. Still after a week, Zhu Qiyu was shocked by these words. I don't know how to deal with it.
Zhu Qizhen walked slowly into the pavilion, looked at his younger brother Zhu Qiyu who was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh. "After two years of separation, when I see you again, you look much better than you did then, and you are no longer as decadent as before."
"Brother, what can I learn from you here?" Zhu Qiyu raised his head and looked at this brother who was half a head taller than himself and had a strong body. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if at this moment, he had returned to the past. He was still just the simple King Tao, and his brother was still the emperor with a gentle personality.
At that time, the two families also had frequent exchanges. Although most of them went to the palace to visit, Zhu Qizhen would also bring Qian Niang to visit him and his mother, Concubine Wu.
It's a pity that because of the Tumu Fort Incident, the brotherly love was completely covered up by the naked body, and the reason was completely swallowed up by the desire for power. In the end, his end cannot be said to be good, but , far compared to the ending of brothers fighting for the throne in previous dynasties, it is already extremely good.
Think about the fate of Prince Li during the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. Think about the fight between the Li Shimin brothers in the Tang Dynasty. In the end, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had their heads separated. Think about the brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi in the former Song Dynasty. Man, that "sound of candle shadow and ax" that still makes people talk about it.
Think again about the outcome of the struggle for the throne between the great-grandfather Zhu Di and the uncle and nephew of Emperor Jianwen, and then look at yourself. Although you are confined to the palace, food and clothing are still provided according to the prince's regulations, and all the servants in the palace are still the same as in the past. Those old people.
¡ª¡ª
If you don¡¯t mind the trouble, you can also go for a walk outside the city, but the nearly a hundred guards will definitely keep an eye on you.
But these all prove at least one thing. Zhu Qizhen does what he says, and his repayment to his younger brother can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing. Therefore, when he saw Zhu Qizhen standing in front of him again At this time, in Zhu Qiyu's eyes, there was no longer the resentment and hatred of the past, but only regrets for the past, and even a sense of guilt.
"Brother, I came here this time to see you and my nephew. In addition, I have one more important matter to discuss with you. You and I are brothers after all. Let others do this. I'm really worried." Zhu Qizhen turned his head and nodded lightly towards Qian Niang.
Qian Niang pulled the Wang family understandingly and walked towards the open space on the other side with the children. The only ones left behind were Zhu Qizhen and two of his confidants: Li Xian and Wei Mingtong.
"Oh?" When Zhu Qizhen heard what Zhu Qizhen said, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. His eyes became slightly warm. He quickly turned his head to look at the turquoise pool, took a deep breath and then turned back. He turned around and looked at his brother sitting opposite him.
At this time, a servant from the mansion had already brought tea. Zhu Qizhen picked up a piece without politeness and chewed it. Seeing Zhu Qiyu staring at him in shock, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but smile. He said vaguely: "There are too many things to do today, and I haven't had time to eat lunch yet, so I won't be polite as a brother."
Hearing Zhu Qizhen¡¯s explanation, Zhu Qiyu couldn¡¯t help but show a dumbfounded expression. Although he quickly calmed down, his mentality was no longer as guarded as at first.
"By the way, have you read all the Di newspapers these days? There are also the two I specially asked them to send to you, one "Da Ming Weekly" and one "Da Ming Weekly"Jingshi Daily". "Zhu Qizhen took in all the changes in Zhu Qiyu's expression. He continued to eat the pastries on the table. After taking a sip of tea, he raised his head and asked with a smile.
"Well, I've seen it all." Zhu Qiyu sat across from Zhu Qizhen and carefully looked at his brother who seemed to have become a different person since the Tumubao Incident, and said in a deep voice. "In the past, I was unconvinced. I always felt that either of us brothers was qualified to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and both of us could govern the Ming Dynasty very well. I was even confident that in my hands, the Ming Dynasty would become a better government. Qingming.¡±
Hearing these words, Li Xian and Wei Mingtong, who were standing behind Zhu Qizhen, couldn't help but change their expressions. These words were really too treasonous. But Zhu Qizhen, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, raised his hand and waved it, without looking back: "You guys step aside first, our brothers have some private words."
Li Xian was about to speak, but Wei Mingtong, who knew Zhu Qizhen's character better, tugged on Li Xian's sleeves and shook his head at him. Li Xian could only follow Wei Mingtong and retreat out of the pavilion angrily.
"That King Tan is too bold." After leaving the pavilion, Li Xian couldn't help complaining in a low voice.
"No matter what happens to King Xi, His Majesty is in charge now. Besides, His Majesty has always been in large numbers and will not care about such rhetoric." Wei Mingtong couldn't help but smile after taking a look at the scene in the pavilion.
Hearing what Wei Mingtong said, Li Xian couldn't help but nodded and sighed: "Yes, I'm afraid only King Tan can set an example for this matter."
"but I never thought that what you did is really shocking and makes me feel ashamed." Zhu Qiyu pursed his dry lips and said with a hint of doubt in his voice: "What you did Because, there are many of them that I have never heard of even if I read all the history books, and I am afraid that even the ministers in the court would not be able to think of those methods."
¡°It¡¯s not that I couldn¡¯t think of it, but that I didn¡¯t dare to think about it.¡± Zhu Qizhen, who had filled his stomach, raised his head, looked at Zhu Qiyu and said seriously.
