In front of the cold mourning hall, there was a sudden commotion.
The King of Qin, King Jin and King of Shu, who had just arrived from thousands of miles away, knelt in front of the old man's coffin, wailing and unable to control themselves.
The Chu kings who arrived first were crying with him and muttering privately.
"Sixth brother, don't bother yourself at this time!" Xiang King Zhu Bai whispered, "At this juncture, it is not appropriate for us brothers to be like this..."
"What shouldn't be done?" Chu King Zhu Zhen glared and said, "As for the old man's posthumous affairs, we, as sons, don't care. Who is tossing? Who is tossing?" He glanced at Zhu Bai and said, "Twelfth brother, what are you doing now?"
What's wrong? Since I came to the capital, I've become less and less courageous, and I won't let you stand out?"
In front of several brothers, Zhu Bai was stunned for a moment, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.
But he still had patience, "My brother is not timid, but the timing is wrong!"
"Now is the best time, brothers are all here right away!" Zhu Zhen glanced at him again, then at Zhu Su beside him, "Seventh brother, tell me, our old man left that edict, it says
What is it?"
"Then who knows?" Zhu Shu has a thin appearance and droopy eyes. He looks like the kind of person who will explode at the first sight. He frowned and thought about it, then said, "But I guess it's not a good thing, otherwise it would be impossible to let him go."
Pu Bucheng handed it directly to the emperor!"
"Tsk, Lao Pu is dead. He died too early. You should explain the matter clearly before you die! Even if you let out a few words!" Zhu Zhen stamped his feet.
It turned out that these vassal kings were worried about whether the old man's posthumous title was false, and they had been trying to find out whether the content of the posthumous edict was true.
As the saying goes, if you have done something wrong, you are afraid of the ghost knocking on your door. Because you have done something wrong in private, the posthumous edict became a thorn in the hearts of these vassal kings.
"Fifth brother!" Zhu Shu squinted and looked at Zhu Xi behind him, "You have been with the old man these days, and you haven't seen any clues?" He said, simply making it clear, "The old man has never talked to you in private about this matter.
Have you ever complained?"
When he asked this question, Zhu Zhen also looked over.
Zhu Tie was kneeling on the ground ashen, his eyes were devoid of any luster, and his eyelids were twitching, "Do you think I, a sin-stricken person, can know? Should I know?"
"Tsk!" Zhu Zhen and Zhu Zhu gritted their teeth together.
"When you two brothers saw me, didn't you think of anything else?" Zhu Ru suddenly smiled and asked.
Zhu Zhen, Zhu Qu, Zhu Bai, and Lu Wang Zhu Zhaohui, who were watching, were all stunned and didn't know why.
"In terms of ranking, I am older than you. In terms of face in the early years, I also have more face than you in front of the emperor!" Zhu Ru snorted coldly and lowered his voice, "But what about me now?"
Suddenly, Zhu Bai and others were all startled and looked worried.
"Those things I did were nothing?" Zhu Xi sneered again, "But what will happen to me now? My fate is a lesson for you!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhen and others were still deep in thought, while Zhu Zhaohui calmly took a few steps back.
He is a nephew, and he didn't want to get involved in these things. Now he hates that he shouldn't have knelt here and heard things he shouldn't have heard.
"But, Lao Liu, you are right to be worried!" Before everyone could react, Zhu Zhu said again, "At this time, brothers have to stick together. You have to say what you should say and have the attitude you should have, and what you can't
Too soft!”
"Fifth brother, I don't understand what you are saying!" Zhu Bai said, "You just said it was a lesson learned from the past, and now you are encouraging..."
"You don't know a good person's heart!" Zhu Zhu rolled his eyes at him, looked left and right, and looked at the military princes following the vigil outside the palace. He lowered his voice and said in a volume that only his brothers could hear clearly, "Think about it.
I am also a prince, fifth in the ranking, and now I am the second among the uncles!"
As he spoke, Zhu Rui's eyes turned slightly vicious, "But when I was dealt with, did I have any dignity as an uncle? A team of Jinyi guards took me away and sent me to Fengyang to pen up, like raising pigs!"
"The fiefdom is gone, the prince is gone, the family property is gone, the army is gone, and the reputation is gone." Zhu Ju's voice became more and more angry, "Is the old man still alive when he punishes me? Our father is still alive! When
No matter how angry the father is, he will still protect his son, but my father is so protective, and now I am ending up like this."
"Think about it, now that dad is gone, if you have any leverage in his hands, hey, what will happen to you?" Zhu Ru glanced at the brothers again, "I'm afraid that by then, it's just a luxury to think of me.
.At least I still have a life, and at least I am still a member of the Zhu family."
In an instant, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Su looked at each other, and they both saw the panic in their eyes.
This is what they are worried about. In the past, the old man was still protected by them, but now that the old man is gone, how can the nephew emperor deal with them without being ruthless?
In heaven, there is no family affection!
The emperor has always been a loner!
Zhu Bai still couldn't figure it out and murmured, "But even if we follow your instructions and sign up for the group, everything will be fine?"
"First of all, if you sign up for a group, at least the justice is with us. We are uncles and we are all the sons of the old man! If we become a rope, he will have to give in." Zhu Ru continued in a low voice, "Let the past be wiped out.
, from now on we can quietly live our own lives behind closed doors."
"Second, we can't join the group. Twelve brothers, you are still young and don't know the viciousness of people's hearts!" Zhu Tong paused and continued, "There is no right or wrong in the Tian family? There is only profit, right? Let's do it
Can he tolerate the power inside? He won’t tolerate it!”
"Are we willing to submit obediently? Even if we submit obediently, will we have a good end? Look at the second son of the fourth brother's family, he just killed a few barbarians and was sent to Burma, and his title was lost!"
"If we don't sign up for the group, we will be a soft persimmon that can be crushed by others. He can crush us to death. Even if we want to die, it will not be that easy!"
Zhu Zhen and Zhu Shu couldn't help but nod, and there was a hint of anger in Zhu Bai's eyes.
"We are all of Ming Dynasty royal blood. Even if he doesn't like it, he can't humiliate us at will..."
Zhu Zhen sighed and interrupted Zhu Bai, "Your fifth brother made it very clear. If he doesn't rub us, he won't humiliate us. Where is his prestige as an emperor? There is no possibility of relief between us and him. If you want to cross
After this disaster, we have to fight on our own!"
"Sixth brother is transparent!"
Seeing that the hole was almost dug, Zhu Xi praised him, "Hey, among us brothers! You are the only ones who are responsible, the sixth and the seventh, and the others! Hey!" After saying that, he sighed again.
, looking at the old man's coffin, "I think from now on, these little ones will have to rely on you, otherwise... Hi!"
"Fifth Brother, you are right!" Zhu Zhen dove into Zhu Ju's pit and put on his hat naturally, "A brother must protect his younger brother! These things are not my own business.
, it’s a matter for all the brothers! If I don’t take the lead, who will?”
On the side, Zhu Su hesitated for a moment and muttered, "Fifth brother, sixth brother, but how many of us are there now?" As he said, he continued to frown and think, "I want all the brothers to twist into one, but no one is here now.
It’s all here!”
"It's too late to tell when we're all here!" Zhu Zhu said, "Besides, my brothers are not stupid either, they can tell the difference between far and near!"
At this moment, Zhu Xi suddenly shut up and lowered his eyes.
Several vassal dynasties looked aside and saw that the three vassal kings, the King of Shu, King Qin, King Jin and King Jin, after bowing to the throne, were helped up by the eunuchs and were heading this way.
"Two nephews, come to Uncle Wang!" Zhu Zhen stretched out his hand to greet you, "Uncle Wang has something to tell you!"
"Uncle Wang, forgive me!" King Qin Zhu Shanlie choked, "My nephew and the King of Jin are going to see Your Majesty soon!"
Jin Wang Zhu Jixi also said, "Uncles, please don't be surprised. I will wait until I see the emperor to talk to you!"
With that said, they walked away without stopping at all.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhen's face turned pale.
