Chapter 648 Zhu Cilong's Life and Death
King Ping has entered Beijing!
Even when Zhu Cilang arrived in Nanjing, no one knew that King Ping had left Peking.
Why did King Ping arrive in Nanjing at this time?
Outsiders don’t know, but Zhu Cilang himself was extremely frightened.
He even had the idea of committing suicide for a while, but this idea flashed through. After all, in his young eyes, His Majesty was still extremely kind and righteous.
"Pingwang."
Looking at Zhu Cilang in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang sighed in his heart.
When was the last time I met him?
It was still in Cangzhou, a teenager who had experienced so many things - the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed!
In history, Zhu Cilang has always been a mystery, but one thing is certain that the remnants praised him after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, judging from the surveillance of him in the past two years, Zhu Ciyang is not a threat to the current Ming Dynasty. In fact, Zhu Guoqiang is really not afraid that Zhu Ciyang has ambitions!
For him, he was really not afraid of those vassal kings having ambitions!
I even hope that they have ambitions, and only by having ambitions can they use their business!
But these vassal kings were all cautious, and even had some slight silence.
As for Zhu Cixuan, the same was true. When he guarded the tomb for Chongzhen in Peiping, he even did not allow officials and scholars who mourned the late emperor to enter the tomb. He could only worship outside the tomb, while he himself hid in Siling.
Why?
Not because of being cautious.
However, Zhu Cixuan's breaking routine this time made Zhu Guoqiang a little curious.
What is the routine that was broken this time?
It was him who took the initiative to stand up and support moving abroad!
In fact, Zhu Guoqiang didn’t even dream. Among the royal family, Zhu Cilang was the first to stand up and agree with feudalism!
No, when his memorial was handed over from Peiping, it was just a transfer to the country.
In fact, you can guess Zhu Cixuan’s thoughts without thinking about Zhu Guoqiang.
The most fundamental purpose of his support for moving abroad is probably to protect himself!
What was he thinking?
He thought I would not be able to tolerate him.
In any case, for the Qian Sheng Dynasty, he was all the sons of Chongzhen and the former foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
In the future, someone will definitely use him as a banner to oppose me!
Even if he is unaware of it, he may become the banner of the opposition. Therefore, for Zhu Cixuan, he must protect himself, protect him and his brothers.
"Why?"
Zhu Guoqiang asked in a calm tone as possible.
The sudden questioning made Zhu Cilang tremble all over and forget how to answer.
"Why?"
This time Zhu Guoqiang raised his voice a little.
"Your Majesty, my Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty is asking..."
"Is there anything else?"
With a stern face, he threw the music toward Zhu Cixuan fiercely.
The sound of the story fell to the ground with a "bang". When Zhu Guoqiang saw Zhu Cilang, he hurriedly knelt down.
"Your Majesty! You're sorry for your anger!"
Zhu Cilang was really scared. For him, as a young man, he still remembers what his father said when he abolished his position as crown prince.
"If he tolerate you, try to ask the country to be in a remote place, whether it is Yunnan or Guangxi, you can go as far as you want. If he doesn't tolerate you... how could he be born in the imperial family..."
Can Your Majesty tolerate Himself?
Zhu Cilang really had no idea. He even thought of the Jianshu, who had been locked in Zhongdu for decades, and he didn't even recognize the cow when he was released by Emperor Yingzong. If that was the case, it would be better to die.
But...who wants to die?
"Why?! I only know the reason. Do you want to go overseas? Or is there someone urging you behind the scenes?"
"No...no!"
Zhu Cilang replied in a hurry.
After a moment of pause, as if he had made up some determination, he suddenly raised his head and said:
"The memorial is all my thoughts."
Staring at Zhu Cilang without saying a word, Zhu Guoqiang's eyes became more and more sharp.
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense.
Zhu Cilang knelt there uneasyly.
After a long time, he only heard him speak:
"My...My..."
"I just listen to the truth."
Zhu Guoqiang said lightly.
"yes."
Zhu Cilang, who lowered his head, didn't even dare to see His Majesty.
Although he has been mourning for his father in the past two years, through the newspapers and the words of the tomb-supervising officials, he knew that His Majesty and His Majesty were two completely different types of people. He also knew that for His Majesty, his existence was a thorn in his heart.
This is probably why my father asked him to go to remote places when he asked him to ask for a ban on the country. The farther he wanted, the easier it was to survive!
Like King Jingjiang, the country was far away in Guangxi.
Guangxi seems to be a little closer!
For at least a moment, he almost told His Majesty everything in his heart, but he still held back and couldn't say anything. The Your Majesty sitting in the hall might have revived the Ming Dynasty and saved the country of his ancestors, but he was only a nominal relative, and the "kind friendship" between them was greater than the throne.
He didn't dare to say some words anyway.
He told Zhu Guoqiang that he was here to be the first to be the first, and stood up to publicly support moving abroad, completely to save his life. He is the eldest son. He did not see himself and his two brothers die in an accident, nor did he want to live a life of fear, nor did he want to see his father's blood breaking here...
Go overseas!
When he went overseas thousands of miles away, His Majesty would not think of them. But even if he died, he would not have the courage to say these words.
After all, this is the crime of trapping the king!
Especially when he saw the so-called "feudal" statement in the newspaper, he became even more moved. He said that the country was still subject to others overseas. If he truly became the lord of a country, it would be the real "change strategy". A king like the King of Joseon... is also the real king of a country!
This is a matter that is beneficial both public and private.
In fact, at the beginning, Zhu Cilang did not dare to stand out.
He heard some rumors that everything is ready now, but someone is leaving to support it publicly, especially this matter involves pacifying the three kings of Ding Yong. His Majesty was worried that outsiders would misunderstand, so he kept the comments of King Tang.
what to do?
Faced with such a situation, Zhu Cilang thought a lot.
You will definitely die in the country, but you may live overseas.
If you agree to the letter, you may die, but if you don’t leave the letter, you will die sooner or later.
Unlike other vassal kings, Zhu Cilang, who knew his future destiny, repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, he mustered up the courage to submit the memorial.
Show your attitude to His Majesty and the world - he hopes to move abroad.
As for whether to seal or not, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is to be far enough away from the Ming Dynasty, the farther the better. If you are far away, you will naturally have a way out.
Although Zhu Cilang knew that His Majesty might be angry, when facing His Majesty's anger, he still felt an endless fear and oppression.
Even though he was born in the imperial family and was once the foundation of the country, he never felt this oppression and fear in his father.
Because my father won't kill him!
But Your Majesty does!
It was this invisible fear that made him make this choice.
Instead of worrying about your life all the time, it is better to go overseas!
As for the legendary malaria, it is not that scary. Compared to ordinary people, he has an imperial physician around him, but what about ordinary people? Why can't they survive there?
In his heart, he was actually looking forward to going overseas.
After all, since he was ten years old, he had been accused of the government and his heart was not without his imagination to become the king of a country, and then revived the Ming Dynasty. Now he could not become the king of the Ming Dynasty, but he could become the king of the country and show his ambitions there...
But at this moment, no matter which reason it was in his heart, he would not dare to tell His Majesty. After all, any reason could cost his life.
"I...I think..."
Zhu Cilang said with all his last bit of courage:
"I think that using the feudal system of the Zhou emperor on the Ming Dynasty can save countless national treasurys for the Ming Dynasty..."
"Yeah?"
Zhu Guoqiang interrupted him coldly.
It would be enough to have his words. Zhu Guoqiang no longer went to see him, but just said coldly.
"I understand, you go back."
Looking at His Majesty, I wonder if my answer was right or wrong. Although Zhu Cilang was frightened, he finally lowered his head and said:
Chapter completed!
