"Father, did you leave a posthumous edict?" Zhu Di's heart sank, and he knew that he would have no chance.
Then he sighed and said, "Did my father, in his will, let his eldest brother inherit the throne?"
Dao Yan nodded and said: "Exactly, Emperor Daxing clearly wrote in his edict that 'Prince Zhu Biaoren is a filial piety to his friends, the world has returned to his heart, and he should ascend to the throne.'"
Be benevolent and filial to friends, the world will return to its heart, and it is appropriate to ascend to a high position~
This sentence kept echoing in Zhu Di's mind, and he even felt like crying.
Honestly, is Zhu Biao wise? Even Zhu Di has to admit that the eldest brother is indeed wise.
But is Zhu Di worse? If he is really worse than his eldest brother, then why would his father say to him more than once, "Among all the princes, you are the most like me?"
However, Zhu Di can only think about these things in his heart now. Now that the overall situation has been decided, his father has let his eldest brother inherit the throne, and no matter what thoughts he has in his mind, it will have no effect.
Even though there were only Zhu Di and Dao Yan here now, Zhu Di smiled reluctantly and said: "Okay, eldest brother is kind. Maybe it will be a good thing for the world if he ascends to the big position."
Dao Yan sneered when he heard this and said: "Maybe it is true for the world, but it may not be true for the prince."
Zhu Di didn't believe Dao Yan's words. He laughed and shook his head and said, "You have never met my eldest brother, so you don't know what he is like. I know that you are worried that your eldest brother will attack me after he ascends the throne. But I tell you, no
Yes. Big Brother has saved me from danger many times before. If Big Brother really wanted to kill me, I would have just stood by and watched, and I might not be alive today."
Seeing Zhu Di's extraordinary confidence, Dao Yan shook his head slightly and sighed: "Young princes, people will change from time to time."
Zhu Di did not agree with Dao Yan's words. In his opinion, Dao Yan was on guard against his eldest brother because he had never been in contact with his eldest brother and did not know his kindness. If Dao Yan had the opportunity to meet his eldest brother, he might meet him as soon as possible.
will change his own mind.
Dao Yan saw Zhu Di's nonchalant look, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if His Royal Highness and the prince have a deep brotherhood, they will not attack the prince. But what about the people around His Royal Highness? Could these people be
Do you regard the prince as a threat and try every means to remove him?"
"If others don't say it, let's talk about Han Du. This man is cunning and scheming. He has never had a good impression of the prince. From the first time the prince met him, he was wary of the prince. Several times.
When I came to Peiping, I even wanted to find out about the prince.
True or false, if the prince hadn't mentioned that he was prepared, he might have found out all the details about the prince."
"The relationship between Han Du and the prince is extremely close, and the prince even obeys his words. If he is allowed to stay with the prince, under the influence of influence over time, the prince will definitely trust you as he once did? Will he still care about you and the prince?
Brotherly love?"
Zhu Di fell silent immediately.
He himself is not a kind-hearted person like Zhu Biao, so he naturally cannot understand Zhu Biao's thoughts. On the contrary, Zhu Di is naturally cunning and fierce, like a wolf. People like him will only use themselves to judge others.
Put yourself in Zhu Biao's shoes, what would he do if he encountered such a thing?
But within a moment, Zhu Di's eyes revealed a fierce and bloody taste.
If Zhu Di encounters someone who threatens him, the natural answer would be: "Kill them all to avoid future troubles!"
When Dao Yan saw the change in Zhu Di's eyes, he smiled slightly in his heart. He knew that he had successfully evoked the ferocious and cruel side of Zhu Di's heart. As long as this thought came together, it would be like a seed, between Zhu Di and Zhu Biao.
In the middle of the brotherhood behind them, a crack slowly opens up. And, as time goes by, this crack will get bigger and bigger, until the brotherhood between them falls apart.
With a sad look on his face, Daoyan took out something from his arms that could make the final decision.
"This is the last edict of Emperor Daxing. Your Majesty hoped that His Highness the Crown Prince would take care of the brotherhood. But he didn't expect that even Emperor Daxing was guarding against Your Majesty!"
When Zhu Di heard this, his expression was shocked, and he snatched the paper away. He opened it suddenly and looked at it with wide eyes.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Zhu Di simply couldn't believe that his father would issue such a last edict. Especially when he saw the sentence "When kings come to the country, they do not go to the capital", he wanted to pluck this sentence out of the paper with his eyes.
Even if it is crushed into pieces, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart!
"This is not my father's last edict, it's not my father's last edict, right?" Zhu Biao's eyes were so red that it made people feel extremely scary, and he stared at Dao Yan.
Dao Yan shook his head and sighed: "The edict is issued to the world. If the prince does not believe the poor monk, the prince can wait for a few days, and then he will know."
Zhu Di also understood that it was impossible for Dao Yan to deceive him about such a matter. Does that mean that his father actually issued such a last edict? Why do kings come to the country and not come to the capital? To put it bluntly, this is to guard against his master.
The heavily armed King of Yan.
In fact, I just barely mentioned him by name.
Suddenly, Zhu Di seemed to have had all his strength taken away from him. His burly and powerful body could not even stand, and he suddenly fell back to the chair.
Zhu Di began to feel dazed. He couldn't understand. His father had always admired him in the past and he had always followed his father's requirements. How could his father be on guard against him in the end?
"Why, why is this? Father, what did I do wrong? Why should I treat my son like this?" Zhu Di collapsed and knelt on the ground, crying and talking to himself in the direction of the capital.
He really didn't understand what he had done wrong to make his father treat him like this.
Before that, Zhu Di was still a child with full filial piety towards his father. But when he learned that his father had issued such a decree specifically to guard against him, he felt only unwillingness!
He is one of his father's best sons. His father has told him more than once that his courage, courage, and ability are all the most like his father.
Originally, the position of prince should have been his, but due to the rule of "establishing the direct descendant but not the elder", Zhu Di missed the throne.
It’s okay to miss out. The eldest brother Zhu Biao is also very capable and treats him well. Zhu Di can accept it. ??
But, why, why is even his father suspicious of him? Even his father is suspicious of him, but what about Zhu Biao? In this case, does he really have a way to survive?
When Dao Yan saw that the fire was coming, he immediately pulled Zhu Di up from the ground. He stared into Zhu Di's eyes face to face and said loudly: "Your Majesty is right! If you have to say that Your Majesty is wrong, then it is that Your Majesty should not have supported the troops.
Tens of thousands should not be too outstanding, and should not have almost the same ability as Emperor Daxing!"
After Zhu Di heard this, his expression gradually calmed down and became calm. Ordinary people could not see happiness or anger on his face.
After a long silence, Zhu Di said quietly: "I never thought that leading troops outside would be jealous of my elder brother. If I hand over my military power and return to the capital to be an idle prince, can I spend the rest of my life in peace?"
Dao Yan lowered his eyes, nodded, and said in agreement: "Yes, why not? But the prince pays
I'm afraid the power to send troops is not enough. What people are afraid of is the prince's ability. If the prince doesn't hand over this ability, how can people rest assured? Especially Han Du, he will definitely not rest assured."
When Zhu Di heard this, his face suddenly darkened. How could he hand over his skills? There was no way to hand it over. In other words, he had no other way except to resist to the end.
Since someone wants my life, let’s do it!
Having made a decision in his heart, Zhu Di immediately bowed solemnly to Dao Yan and said sincerely: "Master, please save me!"
Seeing that Zhu Di finally showed his ambition, Dao Yan immediately nodded with satisfaction. Pretending to be frightened, he quickly stretched out his hands to support Zhu Di and said sincerely: "I don't dare to be such a generous prince. Since I am committed to the prince's palace, it's natural for me to do so.
It is the duty of a poor monk to repay the prince and share his worries."
Zhu Di didn't really want to bow down. The one he admired most in his life was his father, but even his father had to be wary of him. This had broken Zhu Di's heart. Now no one can restrain him, and no one can
Don't even think about standing on his head.
However, Zhu Di's performance made Dao Yan extremely satisfied. King Yan was very capable and ambitious, and he was not a law-abiding figure at all. As long as such a figure has the right time, it is not impossible for such a figure to soar into the sky!
When Zhu Di saw that he and Dao Yan had already confessed their feelings, he stopped pretending and sat down on the chair. He glanced sideways at Dao Yan and asked in a deep voice: "Master, what do you think this king should do now?"
Dao Yan stopped being secretive and said directly: "It is better to be still than to move. Your Majesty, it is better to pretend not to know about this matter and wait and see what happens."
Zhu Di frowned when he heard this. He said that if he said it was nice, he would just wait and see what happens. If he said it was not nice, he would do nothing. This was not the answer he wanted, so he asked again: "Master, do you think there will be changes in the near future?
"
"Exactly." Dao Yan nodded firmly.
Zhu Di originally just asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that Dao Yan actually thought that there would be variables.
“Where do the variables come from?”
Dao Yan confidently picked up the paper Zhu Di placed on the coffee table, spread it out in front of Zhu Di, and tapped his fingers several times on the sentence "When kings come to the country, they will not go to the capital".
"The variable is here."
Zhu Di stared blankly at the words "When kings come to the country, they do not go to the capital." Then he looked up at Dao Yan, not understanding what he meant.
