LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 61
61: Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded: Lao Jiu had cheated Zhu Di for 26 years!
Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that Lao Jiu was still alive!
Didn't he die in the 20th year of Yongle's reign?
How could he still be alive?!
In the previous dream deduction, he clearly saw Lao Jiu's body being transported back to Yingtian Mansion, and the Fourth Lao Zhu Di checked it on the spot and it was correct!
If the person who killed Ye Xian is really Lao Jiu, then who is the person buried in the tomb of Lao Zhu's parents?
In disbelief, Zhu Yuanzhang carefully looked at the old Jiu Zhu Yue at this moment.
Except that he looked like a sixty-year-old man, everything else was the same as the Lao Jiu in his impression!
This is indeed the real Lao Jiu. It is impossible for him, Zhu Yuanzhang, to even admit that his own son is wrong!
No... Lao Jiu looks like this!
How could he still be so young?!
He remembered that Lao Jiu was born in the second year of Hongwu. It has been fourteen years since Zhengtong. In between, there were four years of Jianwen, twenty-two years of Yongle, one year of Hongxi, and ten years of Xuande!
This year, Lao Jiu is exactly eighty years old!
It looks like he is only about sixty!
Moreover, Lao Jiu, who is so old, is still riding on the battlefield with a long halberd. He is invincible wherever he goes. Even people like Ye Xian were beheaded by him!
At this moment, one can imagine the tremor in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart!
However, what made him even more horrified when he thought about it was that from the 20th year of Yongle to the 14th year of Zhengtong, it was a full twenty-seven years!
Lao Jiu actually faked his death for twenty-seven years?!!!
So who was Lao Jiu who died back then?
Could it be that Lao Jiu could find someone who was so similar to him, or even exactly the same, to die in his place?
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhang felt chills running down his spine!
Lao Jiu cheated Zhu Di by cheating his death, and also deceived everyone in the world!
If he dies, Zhu Di will no longer be so vigilant about the Western Regions!
If he dies, the imperial court will turn its attention away from the Western Regions!
His death means that the lineage of the former Han Kings and Yong Kings has completely declined. I am afraid that they will only be able to stay in the yellow sand of the Western Regions for generations to come!
However, who would have thought that the old man was not dead!
And he had endured it for twenty-seven years, and at the most critical moment of the Ming Dynasty, he suddenly came out in such a situation!
Not only did he kill the Wala army until they were retreating steadily, he also killed everyone in the court with fear!
All civil and military officials were dumbfounded!
All the feudal kings were dumbfounded!
In the past, King Zhu Li of Han and King Zhu Li of Yong were like ancestors to these current feudal kings. The oldest feudal king still in power had to call Zhu Li uncle or even grandpa!
Seeing the majestic Zhu Yue on the battlefield, who was like a god of war, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became a little distracted.
Is this his son?
This is his ninth child!
This forbearance and strength alone were enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang look at him with admiration!
Although Lao Jiu is rebellious, in the final analysis, he is also his son!
He has been pretending to be blind for more than twenty years, and he has been pretending to be dead for more than twenty years!
For about fifty years of his life, Lao Jiu chose to endure and lie dormant!
Is this kind of character something that normal people can have?
Seeing that Zhu Li was still holding the head of Grand Master Wala Yexian in his hand, he looked a bit like an eighty-year-old man. His eyes were shining with sharp light like an eagle, as if it could capture the soul!
Just the sharp aura on his body frightened the people of this group of people into fear, and they even dared not look at him!
A look in his eyes is enough to make his enemies frightened and unable to even have the slightest thought of fighting against him!
Especially since Ye Xian's head is now in Zhu Li's hands!
At this moment, all the Wala people looked at Zhu Yue as if they were looking at a god of death!
Soon, the Wala army fled on a large scale!
Even without the help of the army from the Western Regions, countless people from Wala would die just by trampling on each other!
What kind of momentum is this?
Zhu Yuanzhang even felt ashamed of himself!
Lao Jiu is better than him!
From Lao Jiu, he actually felt the true imperial aura!
At least he felt that this was the aura an emperor should have on the battlefield!
The deduction is still going on.
【The army of the Western Regions invaded Yingtian Mansion. Under the leadership of Zhu Yue, the first Han king of the Ming Dynasty, they simultaneously annihilated 50,000 Wala people and captured 7,000. The remaining members of the Wala army who were able to escape outside the Great Wall were less than 20,000!】
【When Zhu Yue appeared on the Shuntian Mansion Tower like a ghost with a string of heads hanging from his waist, holding a Western scimitar in his hand, everyone looked at him in horror!】
【This is the famous Zhu Yue, the former King of Yong, and the first King of Han in the Ming Dynasty! Shouldn't he be dead long ago? Why does it still appear here? 】
Except for the soldiers on King Yong's side, almost everyone is thinking about this issue in their minds!
Is this really the ninth prince of Emperor Taizu?
However, the answer to everyone was the overall martial law imposed by the Western Region Army on Shuntian Mansion!
The entire court and the entire palace were all controlled by Zhu Yue's men in one day!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood why the system said that the third emperor was not Zhu Xiaqiu!
Old Jiu Zhu Yue is still alive!
Even if he becomes the emperor, it will not be Zhu Xiaqiu's turn!
【All the royal members of Zhu Di's lineage were immediately imprisoned by King Yong Zhu Yue. At this moment, King Yong Zhu Yue already controlled half of the Ming Dynasty!】
【In the ancestral temple, Zhu Li looked at the portraits of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di, and said with vicissitudes of life: Father, fourth brother! Have you all seen it? After staying in the Western Region for more than forty years, I am finally back! Let me protect the country of Ming Dynasty! ]
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang here, he was already numb!
Have you been killed for seventeen years just to wait for such an opportunity to make a comeback?
Is this something a normal person can do?
Lao Jiu, you really know how to play!
Who can achieve this toughness and endurance alone?
【Subsequently, Zhu Yue purged all the royal members of Zhu Di's lineage, and sent his troops south to attack those local government troops and vassal kings who still tried to resist!】
【The war went very smoothly. In less than half a year, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Chengdu, and even Nurgandusi all announced their surrender. All the local military and political officials and vassal princes came to Beijing to pay homage to Zhu Li, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty!】
【At this point, the Ming Dynasty changed its reign title to Chengwu, and Zhu Li announced to the world that he had successfully ascended the throne! He made his eldest son Zhu Xiaqiu the crown prince, and his eldest grandson Zhu Jiantang the crown prince!】
【Poor Emperor Jingtai only reigned for less than a month, and he couldn't even change his title the following year, so he directly became the dust of history! 】
Three emperors of a generation!
What a great Three Emperors!
In one year, three emperors!
Changed one after another!
It was not until this moment that Zhu Yuanzhang truly understood what the system meant by the replacement of three emperors by one generation!
【Chengwu Emperor Zhu Li was already 81 years old when he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor! During his reign, Ming Dynasty's territory continued to expand infinitely! 】
At this moment, the dream scene switched again.
What appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang was a huge territory of the Ming Dynasty!
When he saw this map of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly widened!
The area of this territory has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the territory of the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period!
The farthest west has extended to Arabia and the Dead Sea, the farthest south is just the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi, and the entire Mobei in the north, including the entire Nurgandusi and the Korean Peninsula, were all included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty during the period of Emperor Chengwu!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the huge territory in front of him and couldn't help but take a breath!
Is this the territory of the Ming Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Chengwu Zhu Li?
Has the Ming Dynasty ever been so powerful?!
Is this comparable to what Genghis Khan Temujin had back then?
In the details of the previous deduction, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw that the ninth Zhu Yue also made some aggressive expansion moves after retreating to the Western Regions!
Even Timur's empire was overthrown by Lao Jiu and fought all the way to Arabia, but Zhu Yuanzhang never expected it!
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew a little bit about the Arab region! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
After all, during the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains had already established frequent exchanges and trade with that area!
But he never thought that even such a distant place would directly become a part of the Ming Dynasty in the hands of Lao Jiu Zhu Li!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if the blood all over his body was boiling!
It's so terrifying that the Ming Dynasty is still so powerful!
No matter how dissatisfied and angry he was with Zhu Yue before, and directly dragged Zhu Yue into the list of unfilial descendants, at this moment, looking at the Ming Dynasty territory in front of him, there was only one word in his mind: It smells so good!
Regardless of Zhu Yuanzhang’s heart���Excited, the deduction is still going on!
【The first thing Zhu Li, the Chengwu Emperor, did after he ascended the throne was to confer the title of king of Qin Han, Geng Qing, and Liu Shan with different surnames. At the same time, Wang Wu, a great hero, was also conferred the title of king, but it was only in vain, and there was only one prince. Just a title! Moreover, during the Chengwu period, Zhu Li did not reuse Wang Wu.】
【Zhu Yue knew that although he had become emperor, he was already old and would not live long! Wang Wu is his last gift to the next new king!】
【However, Zhu Li obviously underestimated his lifespan. The Chengwu Dynasty lasted for nineteen years! 】
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked!
Nineteen years!
Lao Jiu actually lived for nineteen years after he ascended the throne!
Then when he died, wouldn't he have been just a hundred years old?
This... isn't it too much for me to survive?
Our Ming Dynasty actually produced an emperor who was 100 years old?!
【In the third year of Chengwu, you began to use troops against Mobei. In less than eight months, most of Monan and Mobei, as well as the snowy mountains outside Terte Lake, were all included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and established Tarnu Bei Dusi! 】
Mobei is pacified!
Less than eight months to go!
The biggest hidden danger that had troubled several generations of emperors in the Ming Dynasty. The fourth brother, Zhu Di, had failed to pacify the Northern Yuan forces during his five expeditions to Mobei. The ninth brother actually spent eight months to eliminate almost all of them!
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang here, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say!
He never thought that Lao Jiu could reach this point!
【Beginning in the eighth year of Chengwu, the Ming Dynasty ushered in a period of rapid development in the economic, cultural and military fields. It was also the second prosperous age after the Yongle Age!】
【Although the Ming Dynasty became more and more powerful day by day, Emperor Chengwu Zhu Yue could not be happy no matter what! 】
The picture of the dream changed again.
From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the world was at peace and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, only the old Jiu Zhu Yue was left in the picture!
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a pain in his heart for no reason when he looked at Lao Jiu, who was obviously looking a little older in the picture!
At this time, he could no longer see the majestic aura in Lao Jiu that he had on the battlefield before. What he felt was the loneliness in the heart of a twilight old man!
Lonely! desolate!
I don’t know why, these two words suddenly popped up in Zhu Yuanzhang’s mind!
【During these nineteen years, Zhu Li had three sons, including Prince Zhu Xiaqiu. These were his only three sons!】
【In March of the 19th year of Chengwu, Emperor Chengwu Zhu Li ordered his grandson Zhu Jiantang to supervise the country! Because at this time Zhu Yue was already bedridden due to Qinzheng's tuberculosis!】
【In September of the 19th year of Chengwu's reign, after the death of his third son Zhu Xiaqiang, Emperor Chengwu finally could no longer bear the blow due to the death of his last son, and finally passed away at the age of one hundred!】
【The century-old legend of Emperor Chengwu's life has been recorded in history books since then and has been passed down through the ages!】
【This is the end of the Three Emperors deduction! 】
The deduction of the dream is over, but Zhu Yuanzhang's heart cannot be calm for a long time!
Lao Jiu actually lived to be a hundred years old!
And he also forced all three of his sons to die!
The person who can succeed him on the throne is his grandson Zhu Jiantang!
And even Zhu Jiantang was already sixty-two years old when he ascended the throne!
Fortunately, this eldest grandson still lives long enough to succeed his grandfather on the throne!
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether to cry or laugh!
Especially the scene where Lao Jiu gave away three sons one after another in his later years!
Isn't this scene exactly the same as when I saw the eldest brother Zhu Biao, the second child Zhu Xi, and the third child Zhu Fan disappearing one after another in the dream?
The white-haired man gave away the black-haired man, and he also gave away his three sons. Zhu Yuanzhang could feel the desolation and helplessness in Lao Jiu's heart!
Lao Jiu is undoubtedly lucky to live to be a hundred years old!
But even more unfortunate!
Because at this time, Lao Jiu could no longer see the faces that were familiar to him in the past!
The most loyal subordinates were gone, the feudal brothers were gone, he was gone as a father, and even his three sons were gone!
So what if I live a hundred years?
In the last ten years of his life, did Lao Jiu really live a happy life?
I'm afraid only he can understand the loneliness in his heart!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel much anger, and even felt a little distressed!
"Your Majesty...it's time to go to court!"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears!
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wang Chen already standing beside his dragon bed!
Looking at the sky, he saw that It was already past the time for morning court, and Zhu Yuanzhang realized that because the deduction lasted too long this time, he woke up later than the previous times!
During the dream deduction, the outside world could not interfere and wake him up. Come here!
If Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't wake up, Wang Chen will be in a hurry to find the imperial doctor!
Then the fun will be great!
"There is no morning court today. You go down first and let the civil and military officials retreat first!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand. How can he still think about going to court now?
Everything that Lao Jiu showed in his dream had such an impact on him!
Is this really his Zhu Yuanzhang's son?
Besides In addition to the matter of Lao Jiu, the seven hours of dream deduction, the other emperors, and too many other details made Zhu Yuanzhang unable to let go for a long time!
"Obey!"
Wang Chen was a little surprised when he heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, but he still followed the instructions directly.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very diligent in his duties. Although this situation of not attending the morning court is rare, it is not unheard of.
"Ming God of War?"
"Haha... the fourth child can also have such a great-grandson!"
"No matter what, we will never allow this to happen!"
"We won't let anything happen to Biao'er, we want Biao'er to be the emperor!"
"Even if we don't let Yun Wen become the emperor, we will never let your fourth generation lose our Ming Dynasty to Huo Huo!"
After Wang Chen left, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression began to become uncertain, and he kept saying"���Nagging. ps: Please give me flowers!!! Asking for a monthly ticket!!! Ask for a rating vote!!!!.
