Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 146 The Mushroom Cloud Rising Outside the Forbidden City (Subscription Request)

A golden door slowly emerged, with golden lotus flowers floating above the door.

"Hey, this door seems different from before."

Old Zhu, who had just scolded his son, saw the gate appear, walked forward, took a look and frowned.

Zhu Zhanjun was also confused.

The previous doors were just golden without any carvings.

But today was different. The five lotus flowers moved slowly, making the door look more majestic, except that it was a little illusory.

Zhu Zhanjun stretched out his hand and touched the lotus. A response instantly appeared in his mind and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"There have been changes too?"

Zhu Biao asked softly.

Zhu Zhanjun explained: "Each lotus represents a person, which means that after the transformation, we can bring back five people this time."

"Five people." Old Zhu's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "That's great. We will have enough manpower to farm in the future."

"Let's go, let's go and see where it is." Old Zhu urged again and again.

Zhu Zhanjun was also curious whether the person opposite was the one he thought of, so he pushed the door and walked in.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Qizhen and others followed suit. Kangxi thought for a moment and also walked in.

He wanted to see what the power was like during the Ming Dynasty and who was on the other side.

A ray of light flashed, and a golden door opened on the wall of a magnificent palace, and several people walked out.

"How come we haven't seen this palace before?"

Looking at the golden walls and green tiles around him, Lao Zhu felt that it looked familiar yet strange.

"Great-grandfather, this is the Imperial Palace in Beiping. It was built by my great-grandfather and moved from Jinling to Beiping in the 19th year of the Yongle reign."

Zhu Qizhen looked around. Although some palaces looked unfamiliar, they had generally remained unchanged. He recognized it at a glance. This was the palace where he had lived since he was a child.

"Humph, this rebellious son."

When he learned that it was Peking, Lao Zhu's face immediately turned ugly.

According to Kangxi, after his fourth son moved to Peking, they even moved his mausoleum to the north, leaving him alone in Nanjing.

The more Old Zhu knew about what happened next, the angrier he became with his fourth son.

I thought to myself that next time I had the chance, I would definitely teach this rebellious son a lesson.

"Where are the people?"

Zhu Biao pretended not to hear what Old Zhu said, and asked Zhu Zhanjun, who was closing his eyes to sense, where the target was.

In fact, when they arrived at the palace, everyone knew clearly that this time it must be an emperor, otherwise he would never appear in the palace.

"Stab, stab..."

Before Zhu Zhanjun could answer, the sound of planing wood reached everyone's ears.

Listening to the sizzling sound of planing wood, Lao Zhu's face looked very ugly.

There is no need to introduce him to others, as we all know, the new target is Zhu Youxiao, who was nicknamed the Carpenter Emperor by Kangxi.

The palace is a forbidden area. Who would repair wood here unless there is a major renovation project? And there was only the sound of planing wood.

"Here comes an assassin."

Suddenly, a roar sounded all around.

It turned out to be a young eunuch who discovered Zhu Zhanjun and others.

A stranger appeared in the palace, and his clothes didn't look like palace attire. What else could he be but an assassin?

"Crash..."

A sound of footsteps was heard, and a large number of guards rushed over from all directions and surrounded the few people.

Upon seeing this, Old Zhu stepped forward and protected Empress Ma and Zhu Zhanjun behind him.

Zhu Zhanjun ignored the people surrounding him and shouted to the palace behind him: "The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu, is here. Your descendant Zhu Youxiao, why don't you hurry over to pay your respects to him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the guards and eunuchs who surrounded him looked at Zhu Zhanjun as if he were a fool.

This assassin must be mentally retarded. Why would he impersonate anyone else but the emperor's ancestor?

Good man, it would have been enough to just chop off one head, but he had to make all nine clans happy together.

"How dare you! Catch him for us."

The eunuch who led the team was so angry that his face turned green when he saw that Zhu Zhanjun actually wanted to be the emperor's ancestor.

He was on duty today and this incident happened. If it is not resolved quickly, his future will be difficult.

"kill!"

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

However, just as the guards and eunuchs were about to rush forward, the entire capital city shook violently and a deafening explosion sounded.

Before anyone could look, a powerful shock wave came rushing in and knocked everyone present to the ground.

"Jesus, there's no need for the little bastard to make such a fuss."

Old Zhu, who was protecting Empress Ma, looked at the mushroom cloud rising into the sky in the distance with a look of shock on his face.

He thought that these guards had offended Zhu Zhanjun, which caused Zhu Zhanjun to get angry.

Zhu Zhanjun was speechless and said unhappily, "Grandfather, don't you think about it? If I had this ability, I would go directly to the northern grasslands. Would it be used on my own people?"

"So what's going on?"

"Apocalypse Explosion!" ×2
Two voices sounded at the same time, one was Zhu Zhanjun and the other was Kangxi.

"Escort me!"

The palace was shaking and large pieces of items fell down. Zhu Zhanjun and his companions staggered to their feet and tried to run away.

At this moment, there was a panic in the palace where they appeared.

Zhu Zhanjun saw a young man in imperial robes running out in a panic under the protection of a group of eunuchs and palace maids.

"Zhu Youxiao, don't run."

Zhu Zhanjun shouted.

The young man who was running away looked back in confusion, wondering who had the guts to call him the emperor's name.

But when I turned around, I was shocked.

He didn't know the boy who called him, and the others looked familiar, but there was one who was about his age, and he recognized him clearly.

This young man looked exactly like his ancestor Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Zhanjun noticed the other person's gaze and quickly greeted him, "This is your ancestor Zhu Qizhen. I've come here specifically to look for you."

Zhu Zhanjun felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the space. In the real world, they knew how to block them, but in this future world, they actually entered without any protection at all.

The last time Zhu Qizhen met Zhang Fu, he did not feel much pressure with the help of the old man's token. This time when he came to see Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Zhanjun noticed the problem in this regard.

It’s okay to be an ordinary person, but it’s really not easy to meet the emperor.

If they hadn't happened to catch the Apocalypse explosion, they would have had to kill their way through to see Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao, who was running away, hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Follow me first."

"Hurry up, the palace is about to collapse."

Old Zhu held Empress Ma in one hand and Zhu Zhanjun in the other, and quickly caught up with Zhu Youxiao.

Ancient houses were mostly made of wood and stone. The vibration after the explosion caused the structure of the houses to loosen, and bricks, tiles, wood and beams kept falling.

I have to say, Zhu Youxiao ran so fast that even the palace maids and guards couldn't catch up with him.

"Be careful."

Zhu Zhanjun let out a low shout, raised his hand, grabbed something nearby and threw it over.

Zhu Youxiao heard a loud crash above his head and a large piece of broken tiles fell to the side.

"Thank you."

After looking at Zhu Zhanjun with gratitude, the group of people continued to run wildly. When they arrived at Jiaotai Hall, Zhu Youxiao slipped under the table.

Zhu Youxiao, who was hiding under the table, waved to Zhu Zhanjun and said, "There is still room here. Come in and hide quickly. Be careful not to get hit by anything."

Old Zhu pulled Empress Ma and Zhu Zhanjun to sit next to Zhu Youxiao. Seeing that there was no seat left, Zhu Biao pulled Zhu Qizhen to hide at the table next to him.

Kangxi, who followed in, looked around and found that all the tables were occupied, so he crawled directly under a throne.

The chaos and vibration lasted for a while before slowly stopping.

"Don't move, there should be aftershocks."

Zhu Youxiao explained to several people in a serious manner, telling them what he knew about earthquakes.

Zhu Zhanjun said speechlessly: "If there is an earthquake, it would be more dangerous to hide in the house."

"Uh." Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly, "It seems so."

Zhu Zhanjun rolled his eyes at him, climbed out from the table, and kicked Zhu Youxiao who was still hiding under the table and was unwilling to come out.

"You are the emperor. Why are you still here when something like this happens? Send someone to investigate the situation and treat the people."

"Oh, and your son."

Zhu Zhanjun suddenly remembered that Zhu Youxiao's son, who was less than one year old, died shortly after being frightened by the explosion.

"Yes, yes, I am the emperor."

Zhu Youxiao quickly crawled out from under the table and shouted outside, "Come here, gather all the people from the Imperial Household Department, the Cabinet, and the six ministries to come over and discuss this matter."

After giving the order, he hurried to find his son.

It was naturally impossible for Zhu Zhanjun and his companions to stay here, so they quickly followed.

"It's over, it's over. Such a big thing has happened, and they are going to say it's my fault and it's God's punishment."

"I will definitely be asked to write a confession of guilt. I just don't understand. I didn't do anything wrong. Why would God punish me?"

"I'm telling you, I'm also annoyed enough. Several inheritances have had accidents, and this one can't have another one."

"Alas, giving birth to a child is actually quite troublesome. I feel that carpentry work is more comfortable."

Zhu Zhanjun was somewhat confused by Zhu Youxiao's chattering. He turned around and looked at Kangxi and asked, "Is Tianqi a chatterbox?"

Kangxi was also confused for a moment and shook his head.

"Master, I don't know either. It seems there is no record."

Zhu Zhanjun said angrily: "Didn't you write the history of the Ming Dynasty? You don't even know it."

Kangxi pondered for a moment and said uncertainly: "Maybe he was frightened, so he used words to relieve the tension in his heart."

Zhu Zhanjun thought about it and felt that this was possible.

I even secretly suspected in my heart that this guy would suddenly become seriously ill next year, most likely because of this fright, coupled with the fact that his inheritance was cut off and the illness he fell into the water last year.

With Zhu Youxiao's chattering, everyone found the child.

The little guy might have been really scared. He was crying loudly, his face was red, and his hands and feet were twitching from time to time.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. I was scared to death."

As soon as they arrived at the place, a woman grabbed Zhu Youxiao without any manners at all.

"Nurse, are you okay? I'll go see the baby first."

He quickly ordered the imperial physician beside him: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you check on the child first?"

Zhu Youxiao was anxious about the child and said he would go and see the child.

As a result, the woman dragged Zhu Youxiao without caring about anything and yelled at the imperial physician: "You blind dog, can't you see that my foot is scratched? Treat my foot first."

"This should be Keshi."

Zhu Zhanjun asked Kangxi who was beside him.

There was no way. Zhu Zhanjun had some knowledge of the history of the early Ming Dynasty and some important events in the late Ming Dynasty, but he had no idea what some people were like or what their personalities and identities were.

All we know is that this carpenter emperor had a wet nurse who was an affair with Wei Zhongxian. She was lustful and tyrannical, and killed many people.

Including the fact that Zhu Youxiao had no successor, this vicious woman was the cause of his misdeeds.

It was this guy who caused Empress Zhang to have a miscarriage.

Having said that, it seems that the Zhu family attaches great importance to the surname Zhang, and several queens have the surname Zhang.

Zhu Youxiao's wife's name seems to be the same as my mother's, but with different characters.

Kangxi nodded and whispered, "She caused chaos in the palace, framed the queen, and controlled the government with Wei Zhongxian. She also falsely conveyed the imperial edict many times. This vicious woman should be cut into pieces."

Although this was the Ming Dynasty, as an emperor, Kangxi was very disgusted with such people.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded, thinking about bringing Zhu Youxiao into the space and killing this vicious woman who had brought disaster to the Ming Dynasty first.

"Snapped!"

Keshi held Zhu Youxiao and refused to let him leave, and the imperial physician did not dare to move.

Seeing that the child's face had turned purple and blue from crying due to fright, the usually gentle Empress Ma pushed away Zhu Yuanzhang, stepped forward and slapped Keshi in the face, glared at Zhu Youxiao, caught the child, and asked the imperial physician to check it quickly.

"Ah, bitch dare to hit me."

Ke Shi was knocked to the ground by the slap, and instantly turned into a shrew and screamed, pointing at Empress Ma who was holding the child and yelling, "Beat this bitch to death with sticks."

"Ha, you good dog slave, you want to beat my sister to death, I'll beat you to death first."

The guards and palace maids around hadn't moved yet. Seeing that a palace servant dared to be so disrespectful to the girl, Old Zhu became furious. He picked up a broken wooden stick nearby, swung it and rushed forward.

Zhu Zhanjun's face changed. He pulled out the dagger from his waist, took a quick step forward, and put the dagger against Zhu Youxiao's neck.
