Men, the more proud and capable they are, the more ambitious they are.
Even those who are not so proud and capable still have their ambitions buried deep in their hearts, waiting for the moment they explode.
But often, ambition turns sour and can easily be confused with jealousy, resentment, and dislike, and turn into negative emotions.
And what is often the most irrational thing about this man is his emotions. Even he cannot control his emotions.
The kings had such emotions towards Zhu Yunxi. When the prince Zhu Biao passed away and Zhu Yunxi became the heir, their emotions fluctuated. Because the person who had been weighing on them since childhood was gone, they
Before they had time to think too much, they suddenly discovered that the man's son continued to weigh on them.
Obviously, such a result would make them feel unfair.
Why, after I die, my son will continue to be in power?
Well, since it has become a fact and there is no way or ability to resist, then just accept it. At least, the man who pressured them back then was pretty good to them.
But then they discovered that the new man above them was much stricter than the previous prince. Not only did he no longer tolerate them, but he also began to restrict and control them, and began to speak to them in a king's tone.
So they felt dissatisfied.
You haven't done anything yet, and it started like this. If you really become the emperor, won't we just have to kneel and kowtow? Who did the Ming Dynasty rely on for its border military fortresses? The important towns in the interior were responsible for pacifying the southern barbarians and barbarians.
Who is it again?
Remember https://m in one second.
If these things can still be tolerated, then Zhu Yunxi will no longer be able to tolerate it when it touches their real interests.
As soon as the King of Qin died, he intervened and established a new king, and changed the people of the Qin vassal. There was also the land of the King of Zhou, and King Ning led everyone to buy contraband. There was also a way to make money.
military resources, and was ordered not to interfere in local affairs.
All these made the kings feel worried.
In the past, the prince was as smiling as a tiger, and everyone looked good on him, and everyone was convinced. But now, this grandson is cold-faced and cold-mouthed, and he will not play with everyone to make everyone happy.
What the emperor's grandson wants is power in everyone's hands.
Once power is given out, and then taken back, there will inevitably be big trouble.
Inadvertently, a king's alliance that was loose but could play a huge role in every detail was quietly born.
King Zhu Di of Yan, King Zhu Quan of Ning, King Zhu Ji of Zhou, and King Zhu Zhen of Chu.
Zhu Gui, the king of Dai, Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, Zhu Sui, the king of Gu, and Zhu Yunwen, the king of Huai.
Either because of their inner emotions, or because of interests, or because of some other things, these people are tacitly united together in private, waiting for the moment when their ambitions explode.
Zhu Yunxi didn't know the king, he only knew the alliance of five kings.
He was furious and a little funny at the same time. Others could say that King Zhu Bai of Xiang had never had anything to do with him, so why did he get involved? The only answer I could think of was that he chose between his blood brother and the future monarch.
former.
If he learns that there is an alliance of kings, his expression will definitely be even more exciting.
Because King Dai and King Gu were both born to Concubine Guo Hui in the palace. Concubine Guo Hui was the first harem figure to show support for Zhu Yunxi.
A few years ago, King Dai suffered a defeat at the border and suffered heavy casualties and disgrace. Zhu Yunxi helped to cover it up. King Gu was even more confused, probably because the contraband sold by King Ning had to pass through his fiefdom, and he had a share of the benefits.
So now I suddenly turned against you.
However, no matter whether it is the Five Kings or the King, Zhu Yunxi will not take it to heart. The traditional emperor's mentality will slowly divide and eliminate them one by one. Zhu Yunxi is waiting, waiting until he can't bear it anymore, and catch them all in one fell swoop.
When Zhu Yunxi was in the East Palace, summoning He Guangyi, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, the old man was also in the palace, summoning someone.
A very rare person, to be precise, someone who almost never appears in the palace.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom, highlighting the brightness of the sun. The old man was sitting with his back to the garden, with endless sunshine behind him. But the person he was meeting seemed to be hiding in the shadow of the palace, making it only possible to see clearly
An outline.
Jin fell asleep peacefully in the old man's arms, his drool soaking the old man's sleeves. At his feet, lay a fat cat that was sleeping, fanning its ears from time to time and wagging its tail leisurely.
"How is your mother?" The old man said softly, his voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of waking up the pregnant woman.
The voice of the man in the shadow was louder, but so clear, "To tell you what the emperor said, my mother is in good health and very strong." He said with a shy and difficult smile, "She is still so restless.
, always working on the crops in the fields and working on the livestock at home. During the Chinese New Year, he killed a fat pig and made a lot of bacon. Chang Hechen said, "Bring me two cents for you to try!"
A smile appeared on the old man's face, "Well, health is really good. As people get older, if they don't do anything busy, their bodies will become sluggish. Look at us, we used to farm for five years every year, and we didn't get sick or suffer any disasters.
After a few years of leisure, my health is getting worse day by day!"
After saying that, he sighed slightly, "You guys, don't always spoil her. Just do whatever she should do, as long as she is happy. They were both born in poverty. They didn't enjoy happiness when they were young, but when they get old, they suffer from having good food and clothing.
!”
"That's what the emperor said!" The man in the shadow laughed again, "My mother often said that too!"
"How are your children?" When the old man asked, he lowered his head to look at Jin and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, with a loving look on his face.
The man in the shadow replied, "The eldest son, Fifteen, is preparing to take the merit examination. The younger son is only four years old. He jumps up and down all day long. The dog at home doesn't want to see him. There is also a daughter, Thirteen, who is planning to give him a promise in the next few years.
A good mother-in-law!"
"You are also lucky to have both children!" the old man said with a smile.
"I owe all my blessings to you, Your Majesty!" the man said with a smile.
The old man pondered for a long time and said, "Don't worry about your son's reputation. As long as he studies, he can read and understand things. If he knows that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, there is no need to study so much. First, he will be given the status of a scholar, and then he will enter the Imperial Academy, and in a few years he will enter the Hanlin Academy.
, noble and honorable!”
The man knelt in the shadow and kowtowed silently.
"As for your youngest son, in a few years, when our great-grandson is studying, he can come to the palace to accompany him to study." The old man smiled again, "It's a promising future!" After saying that, he paused and said, "Your daughter's.
Don’t be in a hurry to find your husband’s family. The child is still young, so it doesn’t matter if he keeps it for a few years. Besides, you are the person next to us, and the threshold for marrying a daughter is too low, and our faces don’t look good!”
The person in the shadow did not speak, but kept kowtowing.
"You have served us quietly for so many years, without any credit but hard work!" The old man continued to smile, "We can never let your children and grandchildren do the same job as you in the future. You are from a scholarly family.
, your sons are expected to gain fame, and your family is back on track!"
The man still didn't speak and was lying on the ground.
"As we get older, we talk more. No one talks to us on weekdays, but today I asked you to come and I can't hold my tongue!" The old man said with a gentle smile, just like an ordinary old man.
"I also want to be able to talk to the Emperor more often!" The man raised his head, his shadowy eyes twinkling, "I pray to God and Buddha every day, praying for your health, Your Majesty!"
"Don't beg. It's better to beg them than to beg us, haha!" The old man laughed heartily, "They are dead, but we are alive!"
The man also laughed silently.
The old man smiled even more cheerfully, so that Huai Jin opened his eyes in surprise, and then pouted his little mouth in dissatisfaction.
"Come closer!" The old man's laughter suddenly stopped.
The man in the shadow slowly crawled out on his knees. The sunlight behind the old man fell on his face.
This is a somewhat ugly and ferocious face. A ferocious scar runs diagonally from his forehead to his chin, splitting his left eye in two, so he looks like he has three eyes. And his
Pupils are also very different from ordinary people.
Other people's pupils are black, but his are cyan.
The moment he came over, the fat cat lying at the old man's feet suddenly stood up with a bow. It grinned silently and bared its teeth, with its tail raised high. When he got closer, the fat cat's tail suddenly drooped.
, then swooped away and disappeared.
At the same time, Pu Bucheng silently walked over from behind the old man, and slowly took Jin away from the old man's arms.
"Before, we used you to look after the people below!" the old man said, "Now, you go look at others!"
"Who?" the man asked.
The old man's eyes were a little melancholy and sad, "Our sons!"
"Everyone!" the man asked again.
"Yeah!" The old man nodded, "Go and see what those bastards are doing secretly, and then tell us everything!"
"Yes!" The man said nothing and continued to kowtow.
