At the beginning of the Jingnan period, the Han king Zhu Gaoxu began to follow Ming Chengzu, who was still the king of Yan at the time, to conquer the world.
He has repeatedly saved Ming Chengzu from fire and water. Firstly, as a general on the same front, aiding the opponent is what a soldier should do. Another thing is the strong flesh-and-blood love between the two.
After fighting together for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu's heroic and combative side was fully displayed in front of Ming Chengzu. His unfavorable record made Ming Chengzu like Zhu Gaoxu more and more.
Once again, after rescuing Ming Chengzu from a heavy siege, Ming Chengzu, who was still frightened, listened to the sky-like shouts of killing from the pursuers behind him, sat on his horse, and said to Zhu Gaoxu behind him with sincerity: "Work hard, Crown Prince.
What a disease."
The crown prince mentioned by Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty is the current crown prince Zhu Gaochi.
Anyone can hear this sentence. It is not only an encouragement to Zhu Gaoxu, but also a subtle message to Zhu Gaoxu that the title of heir apparent who is often sick will be given to you as long as you work hard.
And Zhu Gaoxu, too, after hearing these words, he charged into the battle as if he had been beaten to death, and bravely killed the enemy, just to replace him and inherit the hereditary position of Ming Chengzu.
However, with the establishment of the Yongle Dynasty, more and more civil and military officials began to be very sure of the prince's character and ability. In addition, Zhu Gaochi did not fall down due to illness. The rules of ordering elders and younger ones since Taizu became clear.
Chengzu had no special reason and could not violate it. The title of prince was ultimately placed on Zhu Gaochi.
Seeing that Ming Chengzu had not kept his word, and that the popularity of Zhu Gaochi, who was canonized as the prince, soared, and that after half a lifetime of fighting, he only got the title of King of Han, the resentment in Zhu Gaojiu's heart almost reached the sky.
.
Later, he continued to target the prince, but with little effect. On the contrary, his image among Ming Chengzu plummeted, and he was eventually stripped of his title and almost became a commoner.
At this point, Zhu Gaoxu's hatred for Ming Chengzu had reached an extreme.
But this time, Xiao Chen came to Le'an Prefecture, killed his advisers and bodyguards, and even chopped off his right hand. His father, the current emperor with great power, turned a blind eye to this and seemed not to know at all.
As soon as this happened, the affection between flesh and blood that was almost extinguished in Zhu Gaoxu's heart completely turned into bubbles.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu had nothing but endless hatred in his heart for Ming Chengzu.
But even so, when he heard a stranger say that he wanted to take the emperor's life in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
Either this person is audacious, or he doesn't take himself seriously at all. He said that he wanted my life in front of his son, and he said it so confidently and without any hesitation. This is simply an unabashed and naked insult to himself.
"Isn't your words a bit too much? No matter how big the conflict between my father and I is, it is still a family matter of our Zhu family. You said in front of me that you want to take my father's life. Do you really think that
I am no better than a pig or a dog, and my humanity has been so depleted that I can cooperate with you to murder my father?"
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes have become extremely cold, and the previous title of "Mr. Zhang" has been replaced by the word "Your Excellency."
"Haha." Mr. Zhang smiled faintly and turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu beside him: "Does the prince want to capture me and then go to the emperor to claim credit?"
Zhu Gaoxu did not answer, but his eyes were still cold.
As if nothing had happened, he picked up the wine bowl on the table and took a sip. Zhang Lao said: "Let's not talk about it. With your current strength, Your Majesty, it's hard to say whether you can catch me. Even if you can catch me, if you want to
If a prisoner is brought before the emperor, Dongchang will probably not be able to pass any test, right? Dongchang killed the counselors and guard commanders around you just to cut off your right and left arms, so that you will never be able to make any trouble again.
It will no longer pose any threat to the prince. If you still have the ability to capture me, think about it carefully, will Dongchang still keep you?"
Mr. Zhang laughed, unbridled and arrogant.
Zhu Gaoxu's face alternated between red and white, and he felt extremely embarrassed in his heart.
If it had been in the past, the person who said this would have been cut into pieces by himself, with his head missing. Now, taking advantage of his downfall to add insult to injury, this person is really despicable and shameless.
"Since I am so worthless in your eyes, why would you bother to seek cooperation with me? Since you dare to kill the Jin Yiwei at the feet of the emperor, this King of Han, who has no strength, will have no plans for you.
What effect can it have?" Zhu Gaoxu said coldly.
The prerequisite for cooperation is that both parties stand on the same level and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. But now it seems that the other party not only does not take me seriously, but also unscrupulously tramples on my own personality. What else is there in such cooperation?
significance?
"What I want is your title as King of Han." Looking at Zhu Gaoxu, Mr. Zhang stood up slowly, "What I want to see is Zhu Di's sons fighting for the throne at all costs. What I want is for him to look at Chao Gang.
He looks chaotic and powerless. He is a great hero and an outstanding emperor. I want to completely destroy the reputation he has worked so hard to build."
The tone of Zhang Lao's words was not high, but every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhu Gaoxu's chest, completely shattering his remaining royal dignity.
"Who are you? What good does it do you to target your father like this?" Zhu Gaoxu, who had completely collapsed, had no choice but to scream.
As for the opponent's ability to break Zhang Jinbao's sword with a single finger, he was absolutely unable to take it down. Using his powerful strength to crush him, how could there be any sincerity in cooperation?
"I said, I am Zhu Di's enemy, and I have an sworn hatred with him. In a word, if you are willing to cooperate, I will do my best to let you sit on the throne of the Ming Dynasty. If you are not willing to cooperate, I will continue to go home.
Go ahead, I'll find someone else." Mr. Zhang's words were very concise and not sloppy at all.
Zhu Gaoxu, who was still struggling to maintain the dignity of the royal family, could not help but shake his persistence when he heard the words "Ming Dynasty throne".
The throne of the Ming Dynasty is the goal that I have striven for all my life. Judging from my current situation, I have completely missed the throne of the Ming Dynasty.
Although he had suffered all the insults, the temptation of the last bargaining chip offered by the other party was too great for him to resist.
However, if he can really sit on the throne of the Ming Dynasty and become the emperor, will the power of the entire country not be able to destroy the other party's power? When the time comes, he will have to repay this humiliation with interest.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu became cruel and looked at the enemy-like Mr. Zhang: "Okay, I will cooperate with you."
