Ming Dynasty: Ask Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 135 Death Note! Final Counterattack!

This cry was earth-shattering.

Those who saw it shed tears, and those who heard it felt sad.

The students in the academy came over to comfort them.

Everyone sighed that His Royal Highness the King of Wu had a difficult, pitiful and tragic fate.

Soon after he was born, his biological mother left him.

And just this year, not long ago he experienced the pain of losing his father, and now his adoptive mother has passed away as well.

He is just a teenager, but he has to endure such cruel blows one after another.

God was a little too cruel to him.

After everyone's repeated persuasion, the "heartbroken" Zhu Yunhuan boarded the eunuch's carriage and hurried to the Eastern Palace.

……

The East Palace a few hours ago.

The night is dark.

Concubine Lu was in the study.

She came from a family of poetry and literature. Her father, Lu Ben, was an official in the Yuan Dynasty and later defected to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although Lu was a girl, because Lu had no children, he raised her as his son since she was young and taught her to read and write.

It was precisely because of her scholarly knowledge and reputation that she was noticed by Zhu Yuanzhang and chosen as the Crown Prince's second wife.

After entering the Eastern Palace, Zhu Biao treated her very well.

After Chang's death, Lu was promoted to the position of Crown Princess.

Whenever she thought about her son becoming the ruler of the world, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Concubine Lu became excited.

The glory of the Lu family depends on this.

But who could have thought that something that was going smoothly would encounter unexpected changes.

And the person who interfered was actually Zhu Yunhuan, the person he raised.

Whenever she thought of this, Concubine Lu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

I deeply regret what I did in the past.

If I had known this would happen, I should have secretly killed Zhu Yunhuan.

But I am concerned about my reputation and I am afraid to act rashly.

"I am just being too soft-hearted!"

Concubine Lu sighed softly, dipped her pen in ink, and began to take notes.

"The 25th year of Hongwu, September 18th."

"Your Majesty originally wanted to establish Wen'er as the Crown Prince in the court, but unexpectedly, Wen'er dissuaded him. Oh my God, why is this?"

"Why would Wen'er do such a thing? Hasn't he and Wen'er always had a good relationship?"

"Is it true that the Heavenly Family is selfless?"

"But I also raised Hu'er by myself. Although he is not my biological child, he is better than my biological child!"

……

"I'm still in a bad mood today."

"I am still happy for Huer. He is really talented to be able to write such poems."

“Is this the child I raised?”

"If Brother Biao and Sister Chang knew about this, they would be able to smile."

"But can the relationship between the brothers return to what it was before?"

"Huer wrote 'Every meal should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by; every piece of silk should be remembered as it is not easy to make', it is really well written!"

"Why didn't I realize that Hu'er had such talent before?"

"Huer has always been very particular about luxury and ostentation since he was a child, and has never saved food. He wrote like that just to please Your Majesty. What a smart child!"

"I miss Brother Biao!"

……

"Today, His Majesty has crowned both Wen'er and Xun'er as kings."

"Of course this is a good thing, and as a mother I am happy for them."

"But after they were crowned kings, His Majesty asked them to leave the East Palace and go to their respective palaces."

"They are still so young, I am really worried!"

"Will the brothers reconcile? Will there be hatred between them because of fighting for the throne?"

"I told Wen'er again and again that she must not be angry with her brother."

"They brothers must be fine, forever."

"May Brother Biao's spirit in heaven bless them!"

……

"Today, Hu'er beat to death the maid I gave him."

"Maybe he hates me as a mother."

"I'm so sad, I feel like my heart is broken."

"I really treat him better than my own son."

"I didn't arrange a maid for Wen'er, I only arranged one for Hu'er."

"But he actually beat to death the maid I sent."

"It's hard to be a mother. My son has grown up and doesn't want to care about me anymore. What else can I do?"

"Besides, he is not my biological son after all."

“Sometimes, people’s hearts cannot be warmed.”

"I will still treat him well. After all, she is the only child left by Sister Chang in the world, and she is also Brother Biao's son."

……

"Hu'er actually went to catch his great uncle, how impressive!"

"When Sister Chang was alive, she took good care of her family, but her son ignored them completely."

"If Sister Chang knew what happened, what would she think?"

"I am increasingly confused about Hun'er. I don't know what he is going to do."

"Just to compete with Wen'er for the position of crown prince, have you even disregarded family affection?"

"I've already told Wen'er not to fight with his brother, just give it to him."

"The throne is not as important as the affection of a family!"

"I hope you can understand."

“I’m such a failed mother.”

"Sometimes, I really wish I could go down and accompany Brother Biao and Sister Chang, so that I don't have to be caught between Hu'er and Hu'er, feeling torn between the two."

"I'd better go to the palace and ask the concubines for mercy."

"If Xun'er gets into trouble, I'll save his life!"

……

"Lan Yu said in the court that when Brother Biao was alive, he mentioned that Hu'er was his eldest son and would inherit everything from him in the future."

"But as Brother Biao's wife, how come I have never heard Brother Biao say this?"

"On the contrary, Brother Biao has told me more than once that Wen'er is loyal and filial, and he is also the eldest son, so he should inherit the family business."

"Lan Yu is lying, and Chang Sheng is lying too. They are forging Biao Ge's last words to help Hu'er seize the position of crown prince."

"But I am just a woman, my words are not important, what can I say?"

"Even if I tell His Majesty the Emperor, will His Majesty believe me?"

"In order to fight for the position of crown prince, these people really do everything they can!"

"Is it necessary? I raised Hu'er myself, and if he becomes the crown prince, Hu'er and I won't object."

"But they didn't hesitate to forge Brother Biao's last words and deceive the emperor..."

"If you are tired, just let them go."

"Hu'er, do you still remember me, the mother who raised you?"

"If you inherit the throne in the future, will you be able to leave a way for us mother and son to survive?"

... "Hu'er was assassinated. I'm so worried about him!"

"No matter what, he is the child I raised, and he is also Sister Chang's only blood relative in the world."

"He is so smart and talented. If possible, I would trade my own son's life for his good life."

"I wanted to go see him, but His Majesty also fainted."

"I can only stay in the palace."

"But my heart is still worried about Hu'er."

……

"Huan'er has woken up, and His Majesty is also well."

“But I still feel very uneasy.”

"It's a good idea for your majesty to let Hu'er govern the country."

"I hope Huer can be a wise ruler in the future."

"After all, he spent so much effort to seize the position of crown prince."

……

"How could you treat Wen'er like this?"

"You actually gave Wen'er urine to drink, and you said it was to save his life!"

"Huer has really changed. He has become so strange that I almost don't recognize him."

"Sometimes I really wish we were not in heaven, so that Hun'er wouldn't have become what he is now for the throne."

"I miss Brother Biao and Sister Chang more and more."

"I wonder what they would think when they see Hu'er today?"

……

"Your Majesty came to the East Palace unexpectedly today."

"I originally wanted to make a suggestion to your Majesty, and asked your Majesty to persuade Hu'er not to kill his own flesh and blood."

“But I finally held back.”

"I'm afraid that His Majesty will be angry with Hu'er and will punish him severely."

"If that's the case, how can I be worthy of Sister Chang?"

"Besides, I don't want to see Hu'er being punished by His Majesty!"

"Oh my God! I don't know what to do!"

……

"Even Wen'er's teacher Fang Xiaoru betrayed Wen'er. Wen'er is really good at tricks."

"He did this because he obviously didn't want to let Wen'er go and wanted to put Wen'er to death."

"After all, His Majesty once thought of making Wen'er the crown prince."

"In Hu'er's eyes, perhaps only by killing Hu'er can he be completely relieved."

"Oh my God, what sin have I committed?"

"The son I raised and the son I gave birth to actually came to the day where they killed each other."

"They are all Brother Biao's sons, they are biological brothers!"

"I really committed a sin?"

……

“This is the last time I’ll write a note.”

"It's my birthday soon."

"I want to put an end to everything on my birthday."

"I don't want to see my sons all killed by Xun'er in the future."

"I hope that I can use my life to ensure that Wen'er, Wen'er, and Xi'er can all live well."

"What does it matter if I die?"

"It's nothing more than going down to accompany Brother Biao and Sister Chang."

"If it weren't for the children, if it weren't for Xi'er being so young, I would have gone with Brother Biao a long time ago."

"I hope Hu'er can still consider the kindness of me, his mother, who raised him for more than ten years, and let go of my and Biao's son, and his biological brother and younger brother."

"I hope there is still a little bit of private affection in the heavenly family."

……

As she wrote this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Concubine Lu's mouth.

This "notebook" that she painstakingly forged created the image of a kind and compassionate mother and a cruel and unfilial son.

If she committed suicide at her birthday party and then cleverly published this notebook, then in the eyes of the world, Zhu Yunhuan would become an unforgivable person who killed his brothers and forced his mother to death.

If His Majesty the Emperor saw this, would he still tolerate him?
Still want to be the crown prince?
I'm afraid that even if the emperor wanted to make a dog the crown prince, he would not make him the crown prince.

With his own life as a guide and this notebook as a knife, Zhu Yunhuan has no way out but death!
I'm afraid he still thinks that I will poison him at the birthday party.

But how could she use such a stupid method?
"Zhu Yunxun, this ruthless guy, should have died long ago."

"Wen'er, even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will help you ascend the throne!"

Lu muttered to himself.

at this time.

Sudden.

Without any warning, the study door was pushed open.

"Who?" Concubine Lu was horrified and screamed, "How dare you break in without my order? Get out now."

Things like forging notes must not be discovered by outsiders, otherwise, she would end up dead without a burial place.

Concubine Lu had already instructed the servants not to approach the study at will, let alone enter it.

But I didn't expect that someone would break in.

"Empress Lü, I am here on the orders of His Majesty."

Yoshigaki had a faint smile on his face.

Although she still called herself "slave", she did not show any respect at all.

Your Majesty's will?
Only then did Concubine Lu come to her senses and realize that the eunuch in front of her was not from her own palace, but the eunuch who served the emperor.

I was so engrossed in writing my notes just now that I didn't think back for a moment.

A trace of panic flashed in Concubine Lu's pupils.

She had a bad feeling in her heart, but she soon calmed down.

Before she could speak, Yoshigaki stood up straight and read, "Your Majesty's order: Since the death of the Crown Prince, Concubine Lu has missed her husband so much that she has lost her appetite all day long. She has become ill from worry and is now following the Crown Prince."

Your Majesty wants to kill yourself?

why?
Before Concubine Lu could think about it, Ji Yuan put on a smile and said, "Madam Lu, please accept the order."

"I have brought the imperial physician with me. I will make sure that Madam Lu has a safe journey."

Concubine Lu slowly closed her eyes.

He originally wanted to use his own life to kill Zhu Yunhuan at the birthday party.

Unexpectedly, someone else got there first.

I just don’t know what method Zhu Yunhuan used to make the emperor so cruel as to kill him.

I'm afraid there's no way to know.

but.

Concubine Lu glanced casually at the notes she had just written.

Although I have been sentenced to death by His Majesty, this note has already been forged.

The timing wasn't great though.

But as long as the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict took it back and handed it over to His Majesty the Emperor, perhaps it could still become a sharp knife to stab Zhu Yunhuan!

This was the stab she had inflicted after her death.

This is her final counterattack!
