Ming Dynasty: Ask Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 62 Zhu Biao’s last wish!
Lan Yu's voice fell for a long time.

There was still silence in the hall.

Although Zhu Yunhuan acted hard, he did not cry out loud.

Instead, she pretended to be about to cry but was holding back, forcing herself not to cry.

He lowered his head, as if afraid of being seen by others.

Old Zhu hadn't noticed yet and cast a glance over.

He sat on the dragon throne, as if he was also lost in thought.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to no longer be the high and mighty emperor.

Instead, he was sadly recalling the memories of his son's old father.

Pictures of my son when he was alive appeared before my eyes.

That year, Zhu Yuanzhang was 27 years old.

In this era, being childless at the age of 27 is a very worrying thing.

That year, he was appointed commander-in-chief and became the de facto commander of the entire army.

That was the first year of Longfeng. Zhu Yuanzhang was leading his army to attack Yingtian Prefecture when he received the news that his son was born.

He was almost overjoyed at the news.

Unable to suppress his excitement, Zhu Yuanzhang took a group of generals to climb the mountain, venting his joy to his heart's content. He also carved the words "Those who come to this mountain will not worry about having an heir" on the mountain.

The birth of his son really brought him good luck.

Zhu Yuanzhang successfully conquered Yingtian Prefecture.

From then on, things went from strength to strength.

Destroyed Chen Youliang, pacified Zhang Shicheng, and launched a northern expedition against the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The iron cavalry swept across the world and established the Ming Dynasty!
In front of outsiders, he is a lofty emperor.

No one in the world dares to disobey an order.

But who still remembers that he is also a kind and serious father.

She has the simplest and deepest love for her son.

Outsiders fear him like a tiger, but his son can put his legs on his neck, play horse riding games, and happily shout "Daddy".

As his son grew up day by day, Zhu Yuanzhang devoted all his efforts to his son.

He was made the crown prince at a very young age and was taught step by step how to be an emperor.

He hoped that his son would inherit his career, inherit the Ming Dynasty, and become a famous emperor whose reputation would last forever.

He unreservedly assigned all the civil and military officials in the court to the Eastern Palace and asked them to assist his son with all their heart and soul.

This son never let him down.

Although there were quarrels between father and son, they also beat and scolded each other countless times.

But my son is undoubtedly extremely outstanding.

He is steady in his work, has his own opinions, is decisive in killing, and yet remains kind and righteous.

No matter who he was, he believed that this son would definitely govern the Ming Dynasty well and become a wise ruler in the future.

Who could have thought that my son, who was fine half a year ago, would fall ill after returning from a trip to the north.

In the end, he died.

God is so cruel and merciless.

Let Zhu Yuanzhang, an old man, bury his young one.

Lan Yu said it well.

Everything I had was originally meant to be left to my son.

The Ming Dynasty was also left to his son.

If your son wants it, just give it to him.

Isn't it natural for a son to inherit his father's business?
What's wrong with him being an emperor and enjoying his retirement?

However, what's the use?
In the end, his son left him first.

If possible, Old Zhu would rather die and let his son Zhu Biao live!
This is an old father’s wish!

He is the Son of Heaven, but he is more of a father!

Who says there is no selfishness in heaven?
At least for Lao Zhu, yes, absolutely!

Who says the imperial family is the most ruthless?

His Zhu family is not like that!

Even after becoming emperor, he was still like an old farmer, and had the simplest and most sincere feelings for his sons, especially his eldest son Zhu Biao.

Before he knew it, Old Zhu's clothes were soaked with tears once again.

for a long time.

He came back to his senses from his grief and looked at Lan Yu again with his dragon eyes.

"Lan Yu, you just said you were innocent, but you are willing to take the blame, what does that mean?"

Lan Yu raised his head from the ground, his eyes were wet and red.

He glanced at Old Zhu and turned his gaze to Zhu Yunhuan beside him.

"When the former prince was alive, I vowed to follow him till death."

"Now the old prince is gone, but he still has a son." "The son succeeds the father, and the minister feels the same way."

"Of course I have to be loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Wu."

"If the person who came to arrest me yesterday was not His Royal Highness the King of Wu, but someone else."

"That minister resisted arrest at the time."

"I have been rebellious all my life, and Your Majesty is well aware of that."

"I admit that I am innocent, and I would rather die than surrender."

"But since it is His Majesty the King of Wu who has come to arrest me personally, how can I resist?"

"The King of Wu asked me to come and apologize, so I came."

"I am willing to do it, and I have no complaints."

"Don't say that Your Highness the King of Wu only asked me to do these things. Even if you asked me to die, I wouldn't frown."

"As I served the late Crown Prince in the past, I will now serve His Majesty the King of Wu."

"This minister is sincere and dare not hide anything."

Old Zhu looked at Lan Yu deeply, and then turned his gaze to Zhu Yunhuan.

But I found that he was with his head down, his eyes red, as if he was crying quietly, and I couldn't help but be stunned.

At this point, one of the civil servants finally couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, pointing at Lan Yu and saying, "What nonsense."

"If you are really loyal to the late crown prince's son because of him, why are you only loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Wu?"

"To His Royal Highness Prince Xian, who is also the son of the late Crown Prince, you are not polite at all?"

"It's obviously because the King of Wu was born to your niece."

"You have a hidden ambition to help him fight for the position of crown prince and seize the Ming Dynasty, so you did this on purpose."

"Do you dare to say that you don't have such thoughts?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Yu suddenly shouted.

"Have!"

The word was spoken extremely loudly, like a sudden explosion of firecrackers.

Lan Yu said: "I do want to help him fight for the throne and seize the Ming Dynasty."

The whole palace was in an uproar!

Discussions erupted immediately.

The official who accused Lan Yu did not expect that Lan Yu would admit it on his own initiative. He was shocked at first, but then he was overjoyed.

"Lan Yu, you said this yourself. Have you finally admitted that you have the intention of treason?"

Lan Yu raised his head and looked at the official with a look of contempt on his face.

Then, he said word by word: "The King of Wu is the eldest son of the late Crown Prince!"

The noisy discussions quickly stopped, and the hall became extremely quiet again.

The official's hand stopped in mid-air, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He suddenly remembered something and said abruptly, "You are talking nonsense. His Majesty has issued an order to confirm Consort Lu as the legitimate wife. The eldest son is now Prince Xian, not Prince Wu."

Lan Yu took a long breath and asked slowly, "Do you have a deep friendship with the former crown prince?"

The official was stunned and asked, "What does this have to do with who is the eldest son of the late crown prince?"

Lan Yu said coldly: "You and the former crown prince did not have a deep friendship, and the contacts were not close, but I am different."

The expression on his face gradually changed, as if he was immersed in memories.

"When the former crown prince was still alive, he once joked with me that Hu'er was the eldest son and everything he had in the future would eventually belong to Hu'er."

"The Ming dynasty is passed down from generation to generation. Today, I will work with Your Majesty to endure more hardships and do more, so that our descendants will have an easier time in the future."

"I, Lan Yu, still remember these words clearly. Every time I think of them, it feels as if they happened yesterday. They are still fresh in my mind."

"I am loyal to His Majesty the King of Wu, and I am also doing this to comply with the wishes of the late Crown Prince."

As soon as these words fell.

Old Zhu suddenly stood up from the dragon throne.

His body was shaking and his voice was trembling even more.

"Biao'er...Did Biao'er really say that?"

Lan Yu raised her head and looked straight at Lao Zhu, tears rolling out from her red and swollen eyes.

"I dare not say a word of falsehood!"

Above, Old Zhu had a dazed look on his face, and seemed a little confused. Then, his dragon eyes unconsciously turned to where Zhu Yunhuan was standing.

He had actually been looking at Zhu Yunhuan just now and found that he seemed very sad and was trying hard not to cry.

At this time, his eyes became even redder.

"Hu'er!" Old Zhu called softly, about to ask.

Sudden.

Zhu Yunhuan exclaimed "Wow".

He seemed to be unable to control himself any longer and burst into tears!
