Chapter 3 The End of Yan Wang Zhu Di and the Beginning of the Life of Commoner Zhu Di

Hongwu Gate.

Zhu Di stood outside Hongwu Gate wearing only boots and white lining.

The soldiers who sent him out had already retreated back to the imperial city.

Bang!

Zhu Di heard the door close and turned around.

The red walls and deep palace were majestic and magnificent...

From now on, it had nothing to do with him.

This result was within his expectations.

He made two plans.

The first plan was to sincerely explain the disadvantages of the feudal lords' division of land. If he could convince his father, everyone would be happy.

But Lü Ben jumped out and directly scolded him for being worthy of death and wanting to compete for the throne.

Lan Yu even shouted for killing.

He even said that his soldiers would not agree.

And for some reason, his father seemed to be more inclined to think that he wanted to compete for the throne.

Faced with the sudden change, he decisively chose the second plan.

Directly stated that he wanted to compete for the throne!

He was just talking, not taking any practical action. His father would never kill him for talking.

The worst result is to be demoted to a commoner.

Zhu Di knelt outside the imperial city, kowtowed to the imperial city, and said silently: "I replaced Zhu Di and used practical actions to sound the alarm for Taizu, telling Taizu that a vassal king who wants to compete for the throne will secretly accumulate power once he has a fiefdom."

"I hope Taizu can listen to it and give up the division of land.

Zhu Di kowtowed again, got up and left, not caring about the eyes of passers-by.

Zhu Di walked faster and faster, with a slight rise in the corners of his lips, "The wheel of history can no longer kidnap my fate!"

His fate has been completely reversed!

The old Zhu family has nothing to do with him!

The vortex of imperial power has nothing to do with him!

Zhu Di, a commoner, only needs to take care of his own life for the rest of his life!

...

The news of the morning court spread quickly in Jinling City.

Weiguogong Mansion.

"Sister!"

"Sister! It's not good, it's not good! "

……

Xu Huizu rushed into Xu Miaoyun's room, pointed outside, and said in panic: "Sister...brother-in-law was demoted to a commoner and driven out of the palace!"

Xu Miaoyun's hands holding the book trembled violently.

The book almost fell, but was tightly grasped again.

Xu Miaoyun tried to stay calm and put the book back on the table. After a little buffer, she calmly asked: "What happened? "

Xu Huizu began to tell the news sent by Xu Da from the palace.

...

At the same time.

Imperial study.

Ma Xiuying was alarmed and rushed over.

Sitting side by side with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Biao stood beside.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Yu knelt on the ground, talking one after another, trembling with fear.

...

"The fourth brother... the fourth brother said that the enfeoffment of vassal kings is a move to chaos. Even if the eldest brother can tolerate us, and our generation of brothers is peaceful, the next generation will inevitably, inevitably..."

Zhu Chong's fearful thoughts are intermittent.

"It will inevitably cause disasters." Zhu Yu took over and added: "So, the fourth brother, the fourth brother hopes to take this opportunity to refuse the enfeoffment."

"The fourth brother also said that if the emperor does not agree, he will directly state that he will accumulate strength in the fiefdom and wait for the opportunity..."

Zhu Biao was relieved after hearing this. Just as he was about to speak for Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "He found you, probably to let you act with him. ”

“Why don’t you participate?”

“Is it possible, just like Lü Ben said?”

“All he did was to compete for the throne!”

“The first plan is to keep quiet and get a chance to stay in the capital.”

“The second plan is the worst, to make it clear.”

“He thinks that we are all human, and we won’t do anything to him if he makes it clear. He can compete for the throne openly in the future.”

Father actually believes Lü Ben’s suspicion?

Zhu Chong and Zhu Yu were stunned and frightened, and didn’t know how to answer for a while.

Bang!

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t give them time to think, and slammed the table and shouted: “Answer us!”

“There is…there is…there is such a possibility! So I don’t want to participate!”

“Impossible! "

The two frightened people shuddered and answered in a panic.

The first sentence was Zhu Chong's answer.

The second sentence was Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yuanzhang panted, pointed at the palace door, and roared: "Get out! Get out of here!"

Zhu Yu and Zhu Chong did not dare to stay, got up in a panic and fled in a hurry.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and paced back and forth panting.

At a certain moment, he suddenly turned around and looked at Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, let Mao Xiang buy ten acres of land and a house for Zhu Di, the beast!"

"This is the last family business for us as a father!"

"If he doesn't want to be a vassal, let's help him!"

Ma Xiuying frowned and stood up, and Zhu Biao opened his mouth to dissuade him.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give them a chance to speak at all, "Don't persuade me, I didn't kill him, I'm already a good father!"

"Biao'er, you are not allowed to go to see him, leave this matter to Mao Xiang! "

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Biao dragging his feet and unwilling to execute the order, so he glared and shouted: "Go!"

Ma Xiuying pushed Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao had no choice but to leave.

Ma Xiuying walked to Zhu Yuanzhang, patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the back, and said tactfully to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Anyway, no matter how suspicious you are of the fourth child, I don't believe that the fourth child will compete with his eldest brother for the throne."

Humph!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said angrily: "Whether he is true or false, since he openly shouted that he would compete for the throne and wanted to pull up the flag, we will abolish him as a prince!"

"Lü Ben is narrow-minded, but there is one thing he said, this trend should not be encouraged!"

"Let's use a legitimate son to set rules for other princes!"

Ma Xiuying paused to let Zhu Yuanzhang take his breath away, and sighed silently.

I understand that it is useless to say anything.

The fourth prince has become a 'target' to warn other princes!

A negative example!

Ma Xiuying said worriedly: "The fourth prince and Miaoyun girl will get married in half a month, this marriage..."

Humph!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "He has become a peasant, and he still wants to eat swan meat?"

"If he fails in the battle for the throne, his family will be destroyed!"

"Compared with those princes who failed in the battle for the throne in history, his fate is much better!"

"We just demoted him to a commoner, and he can marry a country bumpkin with a long gossip!"

"We arranged for him to farm under our noses, just to let other princes see the fate of being unsatisfied and wanting to challenge Biao'er!"

"Not only do he have to be a peasant, but he also has to marry an uneducated, dark, and long gossipy woman who likes to gossip!"

"Their children have no good food to eat when they are born. When they are six or seven years old and can walk steadily, they have to farm with adults. Let's see which bastard is not satisfied with everything they have now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang has experienced all this.

I am sure that Zhu Di, the negative example, will stand there, and other princes will be honest after seeing it.

"He is a good negative example! It's great!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, but the corners of his lips trembled slightly.

"Heartless!" Ma Xiuying couldn't help it, her eyes reddened and she angrily said something, then turned and left.

She knew that this stubborn man would keep his word, and for the sake of the stability of the royal family, he really had to do this!
