Purple Mountain Xiaoling Mausoleum was built in the 14th year of Hongwu. It is the mausoleum where Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were buried together. Because Empress Ma was posthumously named "Queen Xiaoci Gao", the Ming Dynasty also used filial piety to rule the world, so Taizu Qin named the mausoleum.
"filial piety".
On both sides of the Shinto, Lin Jia, the Yan army who came from the bloody battle in the north, stood with unexhausted murderous intent on their bodies.
At the end of the Shinto, outside the civil and military main gate, hundreds of Yingtian officials were arranged on the left and right, divided into civil and military officials. A team of more than a dozen people walked through the officials and stepped into the civil and military main gate.
Except for Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of Zhu Di and the king of Gaoyang County, these dozen people are all Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and other senior generals who followed the king of Yan, Zhu Di Jingnan.
Everyone passed through the main gate of Wenwu and came to the steps of Xiangdian.
Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and others took the initiative to stop, while Zhu Di led Zhu Gaoxu up the palace steps.
Only descendants of the royal family are qualified to enter the Xiang Palace to worship their ancestors.
Zhu Gaoxu was extremely excited as he stepped onto the steps of the palace, and the words his father said kept echoing in his heart.
‘My son is often sick, so you should encourage him.’
For this sentence, Zhu Gaoxu took the lead in the crisis, going through life and death. This is the difference between working and starting a business.
From north to south, along the way from Jingnan to Jingnan, the "Battle of Baigouhe" and "Battle of Lingbi", which were related to the success or failure of Jingnan, were all won because of Zhu Gaoxu's timely reinforcements, which can be said to be great achievements.
"Have you found Jianwen?"
Zhu Laosi calmly stepped on each step of the palace steps, frowning slightly.
"A corpse wearing imperial robes was found in Fengtian Hall, but the corpse was burnt. It is not yet confirmed whether it is Jianwen."
Zhu Gaoxu followed beside him and replied in a low voice.
"Gather all Jianwen's close ministers and servants in front of Fengtian Hall to examine the corpses one by one."
"In addition, all city gates in Yingtian will be sealed immediately until Jianwen's life or death is confirmed."
For Zhu Laosi, Zhu Yunwen's life and death was very important. He adopted the Taoist strategy, and with the determination to escape death, he desperately bypassed Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong's entrenched Jinan, and rushed thousands of miles to attack Yingtian.
As long as Zhu Yunwen dies, the garrison of the cities in Jinan will definitely surrender. In fact, this is indeed the case. When the news of Zhu Di's ascension to the throne spread to Shandong, the cities around Jinan surrendered one after another. After all, this battle is an internal struggle for power within the Zhu family.
Others don’t have to work until they die.
But if Zhu Yunwen had not died, Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong would have summoned a large army in the name of King Qin to counterattack Zhu Di's lone army.
By then, it will be over.
The father and son stepped onto the palace steps step by step. The closer they got to Xiangdian, the more Zhu Di became uneasy.
‘Father, your spirit in heaven, can you blame me?’
When there were only seven steps, Zhu Di stopped.
Since the beginning of the Jingnan War, he had had the same dream countless times at midnight. The moment he stepped into the Fengtian Palace, he saw his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, looking at him coldly on the throne. p>
"Father, what's wrong?"
Zhu Gaoxu on the side stopped when he saw Zhu Di lost his mind.
"Nothing."
Zhu Laosi calmed down and told himself in his heart that this was not the Fengtian Palace, but the Xiaoling Xiang Palace.
Moreover, dreams are all reversed.
Taking a step back, how could my own father crawl out of his grave and whip himself?!
Zhu Laosi took a deep breath, quickly stepped on the last seven steps, crossed the threshold, and entered the Hall of Enjoyment.
The moment Zhu Di entered the hall and raised his head, buzz...!
His head was buzzing, and he subconsciously opened his mouth, widened his eyes, and stared blankly at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the golden chair in front of the throne.
All this is too unbelievable.
His body swayed, his legs became weak, and he fell to his knees.
"You...you're not dead."
"You are still alive..."
"Dad..."
Then Zhu Gaoxu, who followed in, saw this scene, his pupils shrank in fear, his face turned pale, and he knelt down, kowtowed to the ground, not daring to lift up at all, and broke out in cold sweat.
‘Have you seen a ghost?!’
Old Zhu, who was sitting on the golden chair, looked at Zhu Di, who was just over forty years old. This was different from the old fourth in his impression. After all, Zhu Laosi in Hongwu time and space was just a weakling who was less than 20 years old.
Teenager.
After looking at Zhu Di carefully, there was a trace of relief deep in Lao Zhu's eyes. He saw his own shadow in Zhu Di's body.
One thing is undeniable. Among Lao Zhu's twenty-six sons, the fourth, Zhu Di, is the most similar to Lao Zhu in terms of his behavior and personality.
Every father likes a son who is similar to himself.
"Fourth brother, you have made a difference."
In a word, Zhu Di lowered his head almost out of habit.
"My son dare not!"
Even though he is over 40 years old, even though he is invincible in the world, even though he has made countless people surrender to his feet, when facing Zhu Yuanzhang, when facing his father, Zhu Di is still just the same person who was kneeling on the ground in the past.
, the little old man who looks up to his father.
"Grandpa Huang, Yan Ni is causing trouble, please ask Grandpa Huang to be the Holy Judge!"
At this time, Zhu Yunwen, who was standing aside, saw Zhu Di kneeling down, his eyes showed joy, and he spoke repeatedly.
That excited posture, as if he had won the battle.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Yunwen, just stood up and pulled out the sword held by Zhu Yunwen in both hands.
Clang…!
The sword makes a sonorous sound. This was originally a hanging in the Hall of Enjoyment and is a symbol of the emperor.
Step by step, Zhu Yuanzhang walked toward Zhu Di holding a sword with a cold edge.
There are two chairs in this hall, placed side by side. The one Lao Zhu is sitting on is on the left, and the one on the right is Ji Boying.
‘What is this old Zhu going to do?’
‘Behead Zhu Laosi?’
Ji Boying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was walking toward Zhu Di with his sword in hand, wondering whether to stop him.
For Ji Boying, the age of the country in each time and space is extremely important. If Zhu Yuanzhang kills Zhu Di now, then there will be no Yongle Emperor in this time and space.
In a time and space without Emperor Yongle, Guo Zuo will inevitably be greatly affected, and it is not impossible to shorten the period by a hundred years.
At this moment, Lao Zhu was already standing in front of Zhu Laosi, the sword blade in his hand glowing with cold light.
When Zhu Gaoxu, who was lying on the ground next to him, saw this, he took a sharp breath, banged his head on the ground, and shouted bravely.
"My father raised the army to follow the instructions of the Emperor Ming's ancestors. He only wanted to eliminate the traitors in the court and imitate the Duke of Zhou to assist the government. He had no intention of coveting the throne! Please give me a lesson, Grandpa Emperor!"
"Grandpa Huang Mingjian!"
Bang bang bang, Zhu Gaoxu knocked his head to the ground one after another, until the blood flowed from his forehead. Zhu Gaoxu knew very well that if his father died, he would have to be buried with him.
Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Gaoxu. He had no impression of this grandson at all, because in his Hongwu time and space, Zhu Gaoxu had not yet been born.
Ignoring Zhu Gaoxu at all, the sword in Lao Zhu's raised hand fell on Zhu Di's shoulder.
"It seemed right to send you to the military to hone your skills."
Lao Zhu looked at his fourth son, who was dressed in military domineering style, and looked very much like Xu Da, who was galloping on the battlefield in his prime.
"But, you have to remember."
"Everything in heaven and earth is yours only if we give it to you."
