Chapter 2 I Want That Throne

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Not for others, just for himself.

Zhu Yunxi's soul from later generations knew how miserable this most noble grandson would be in the second half of his life.

Jian was prepared to guard against him, but he was not allowed to join the vassal state at all.

Zhu Di was afraid of his reputation and imprisoned him.

Thirty-nine years old! Zhu Yunxi only lived to be thirty-nine years old.

Zhang Hao in his previous life and Zhu Yunxi in this life died of depression at the age of thirty-nine. His descendants were even expelled from the Zhu family's ancestral temple by Zhu Di.

Since he was reborn, he would not allow such a tragedy to happen to him.

"I want that throne, and I want to create a different Ming Empire!"

Daming, Daming, how many people’s hearts will suffer forever!

It hurts for its unparalleled elegance, its unparalleled beauty, its picturesque country, and its peaceful singing and dancing.

Zhu Yunxi in the mirror grinned again, his eyes full of confidence.

Remember the URL m.wxsy.

"From today on, you are the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the grandson of the Ming Emperor, Zhu Yunxi!"

"Despite your noble status, from today on, you have no way out."

"If you retreat, what awaits you is a prison of eternal darkness and a cage of wealth!"

Compared with the noble status of the emperor's grandson in this life, Zhu Yunxi's status in the previous life was extremely ordinary.

He is just a child from an ordinary family. He went to school to serve in the army. After he retired from the army, he worked as an online ride-hailing driver to make a living. He worked hard to earn money and lived a fulfilling life.

Although he is young, his character, his longing for a better world, and his lofty ambitions have all been flattened by society.

However, this soul that traveled through time, the soul of a child from an ordinary people's family, has qualities that Zhu Yunxi, the emperor's grandson, does not have, such as his uncompromising attitude towards life, his drive for life, and his ambition.

Because he has nothing, no good father, no good relatives, only his own hands and his own fists. Everything in his life must be obtained with his hands. In order to get a better life for himself, he worked tirelessly.

Observe people's words and emotions, work hard without complaining, and even risk their lives.

He is not only ambitious, but also forbearing, strong, adaptable, and unwilling to admit defeat. Children from poor families are even less likely to be defeated.

Taking one last look at his own face in the mirror, Zhu Yunxi showed a resolute smile and shouted to the outside, "Come in!"

Thump, thump, the sound of feet hitting the floor.

The door at the back was opened, and several eunuchs dressed in white knelt down in front of Zhu Yunxi. Their every gesture was humble and flattering.

"Third Master, the servants are waiting for you to change your clothes!"

The eunuch opened his mouth and spoke a somewhat weird Chinese language. Most of the eunuchs in the palace were not Han Chinese, but Koreans.

Goryeo, a small country thousands of miles away in the north, has always been a vassal of the Celestial Empire. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo originally wanted to avenge its old master. But on the border of Liaodong, after seeing the wolf-like and tiger-like cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo

The general commanding the troops made a wise decision.

Instead of leading the soldiers of Goryeo to death, it would be better to go back and kill the king who was canonized by Meng Yuan of Goryeo to ascend the throne, and then ask for canonization from the Ming Dynasty.

He succeeded. He replaced the King of Korea and became the new King of Korea. But his diplomatic strategy was the same as that of all the kings of Korea for thousands of years, which was to make contributions. The place was too poor and had nothing good, so he paid tribute to the Celestial Empire.

The things that best express surrender to a monarch are beauties and eunuchs.

Zhu Yunxi was the eunuch next to him and he was from Korea. He had an unpleasant name, Wang Sha.

From the memory of the previous life, there seemed to be many powerful eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhen, who encouraged the Ming Ying clan to conquer personally, and ended up being captured by the Mongols, Hu who was led by Liu Jin, Feng Bao, Wei Zhongxian during the Wanli period, etc.

But now, in the rising sun of the Ming Empire, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi's father are extremely disgusted with eunuchs. As the controllers of the country, they have seen too many powerful people in history causing rebellion, leading to the decline of the country.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that, except for the eunuchs who served in the harem of the prince, emperor and grandson, the rest of the eunuchs could only be used for menial work. They were not allowed to read or even speak casually.

Under the service of several eunuchs, Zhu Yunxi was dressed in sackcloth, filial piety, and all in white. Such meticulous service made his later-generation soul very unaccustomed.

"I'll do it myself!" When the eunuch was about to put on his shoes, Zhu Yunxi put on the white hemp shoes himself.

However, such a simple move frightened the serving eunuchs, who kowtowed repeatedly.

"You slaves deserve to die, you didn't serve the third master well!"

Among Zhu Biao's disciples, Zhu Yunxi was ranked third in age, and he did not have a title for the time being, so the palace eunuch called him third master.

Ignoring the shivering eunuchs who were kowtowing like garlic, Zhu Yunxi put on his shoes and asked in a low voice, "Wang Shai, have they all gone to the funeral?"

The palace is a place where one can lose one's head at any time, and the eunuchs who can get around the emperor's grandson are all exquisite. When they hear this, they know that the master is talking about other people in the East Palace.

For example, Zhu Yunxi's nominal stepmother, Mrs. Lu, and Zhu Biao's eldest son, Zhu Yunwen.

He looked to the left and right and whispered, "Third Master, it's still early!" Then, he looked to the left and right and quickly stuffed a piece of something into Zhu Yunxi's hand, "Third Master, I think your eyes are wrong..."

."

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and saw that it was a piece of ginger. He understood instantly. His eyes were not red and swollen due to the death of a loved one and the sadness and crying. If his eyes were not red and swollen, there would be no sadness on his face.

In this age where etiquette is emphasized, if a loved one dies, it is extremely rude and extremely criticized if you do not cry loudly and insist on death.

"I'm interested!" Zhu Yunxi then patted Wang Shai on the shoulder. With such a gentle gesture, Eunuch Gaoli almost shed tears.

In the past, this third master would only vent his anger on slaves like them, but when did he treat them so easily?

The spring rain is still falling, pattering. The rainwater forms trickling streams on the bluestone floor.

Zhu Yunxi, dressed in mourning clothes, slowly walked out of the door.

Zhu Biao's coffin was parked in Fengan Hall. As his legitimate son, he had to pay homage in front of the coffin and keep vigil at the coffin.

"Ah! Prince, please take me with you and leave!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi stepped out of the door, stepping on the crystal rain, a heartbreaking cry suddenly came from the room next to him.

"My lord, you are so willing to leave me alone. How many children do you still have?"

With the sound of crying, a group of eunuchs and maids, surrounded by a woman in white, came out of the side room. The woman burst into tears and seemed to be unable to stand steady and needed help from others. This was Zhu Yunxi's nominal stepmother.

, the crown prince’s step-concubine Lu.

Behind Mr. Lu, followed a tearful young man. His face was somewhat similar to Zhu Yunxi's, his eyes were red and swollen, and he held a seven-year-old boy in each hand. This was Zhu Yunxi's second brother, Zhu Biao's eldest son Zhu Yunwen, and his two

Brothers from the same mother, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi.

The group of people moved forward wailing and wailing.

Zhu Yunxi, on the other hand, is alone, standing in the rain.

Gradually, they were about to meet him. Zhu Yunxi wiped his eyes fiercely with the ginger in his hand. His eyes were red and swollen immediately due to the spicy taste, and he burst into tears.

"Mother concubine!" Zhu Yunxi saluted in the rain.

"Your Majesty!" However, the grieving Ms. Lu seemed to have not seen him and passed him by with tears in her eyes.

"Ha!" Zhu Yunxi sneered in his heart, "This stepmother really doesn't take herself seriously! She doesn't even want to do anything to save face?"

But Zhu Yunwen pulled his two younger brothers and stood still in front of Zhu Yunxi, "Third brother, I heard that you fainted this morning. Are you okay?"

Zhu Yunwen's face was full of sadness and his tone was concerned, he really looked like a brother.

Zhu Yunxi quickly saluted, "Thank you, my second brother, I'm thinking about you. My brother is fine! It's just... it's just that my father suddenly... I feel really uncomfortable!" As he said that, Zhu Yunxi covered his eyes with his sleeves and started crying.

When he cried, Zhu Yunwen and Lian's two little brothers also started crying in the rain.

Behind him, a eunuch quickly came forward and held up umbrellas for several people.

Zhu Yunwen pulled the two little ones in front, and Zhu Yunxi fell half a step behind. Every step he took, his cries were loud.

In the spring breeze and drizzle, the figures of the brothers looked so desolate and desolate.
