Chapter 1497: Ferocious
Chapter 1495: Ferocious
In the temporary palace of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Ming was sitting upright on the dragon throne, while Zhang Liang was standing beside her. There were only two of them alone in the hall.
"Report to Your Majesty, Governor Zhu asked for a visit."
Emperor Ming seemed to be without any surprise, as if he had known that Zhu Yuanzhang would come, and said lightly: "Let him come in."
"No."
Zhu Yuanzhang walked in slowly, looked at Emperor Ming with his frown above and Zhang Liang with a blank expression. After taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I need an explanation."
Emperor Ming showed pain on his face. She was unwilling to attack Zhu Yuanzhang from the bottom of her heart, and this was obviously not what she wanted to hear.
"Senior Brother Zhu, what explanation do you want?"
After Emperor Ming proclaimed himself emperor, he had never called Zhu Yuanzhang like this for many years. This familiar title also evoked Zhu Yuanzhang''s memories, but he soon woke up from his memories.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Emperor Ming''s beautiful eyes and said in a deep voice: "There are many explanations, such as the transaction between the master and Qin Hao before his death, and the relationship between His Majesty and Qin Hao."
Emperor Ming was inexplicably shocked when he heard this and said to himself: How could he know this?
Emperor Ming turned his head to look at Zhang Liang, but saw that he also showed surprise. He didn''t know that this was actually something that Zhang Liang pretended to be. If Zhang Liang hadn''t deliberately revealed the information, Fan Zeng would never have guessed Zhang Jiao even if he wanted to break his head.
"It''s worthy of being Fan Zeng. As expected, this drama is going to be exciting now." Zhang Liang said in his heart.
Emperor Ming took a deep breath, opened his lips and teeth lightly, and said, "Senior Brother Zhu, this is not something that can be explained clearly in just one or two sentences."
"No problem, I have time, I can listen to Your Majesty''s story slowly." Zhu Yuanzhang pressed.
Emperor Ming frowned again, and the ideological struggle in his heart was extremely fierce. After repeated weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to tell Zhu Yuanzhang the truth.
“Before I was recognized as my adopted daughter by my adoptive father, I was actually called Ren Hongchang, a native of Bingzhou. My biological father was a minor official and my adopted father was a sworn brother.
Fourteen years ago, because my biological father saved his adoptive father, my family was robbed, and dozens of people were slaughtered. My mother protected me and fled all the way. She was fortunate that Mr. Guiguzi was able to survive..."
Emperor Ming said slowly, without any emotional fluctuations, as if he had nothing to do with him.
Zhu Yuanzhang below showed a complex look. He was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world. He had seen all the miserable experiences, but he did not expect that Emperor Ming would be so miserable in his childhood. But what he did not expect was that Emperor Ming and Qin Hao had known each other since childhood.
"So your Majesty, you are actually from the Guigu Sect. Not only do you know Qin Hao, but you are also a childhood sweetheart?"
Zhu Yuanzhang forced himself to calm down, but his voice was still trembling. Obviously, his heart was not at all calm at this moment.
“That’s right.”
Emperor Ming nodded. She also knew that the truth would be cruel to Zhu Yuanzhang, but there was nothing we could do, because the truth was the truth.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Liang again and asked, "Do you know these masters?"
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Brother, he knows everything."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn''t help but take a deep breath when he heard this. He did not suspect that the two were lying, because there was no need to lie at this time. He had tried his best to overestimate the complexity of this matter, but when he knew the truth, he realized that he still underestimated the complexity.
Zhang Jiao knew the relationship between Emperor Ming and Qin Hao, but he still chose to let her be a woman and inherit the throne by disguising as a man. This was obviously something that had been planned long ago, and even because of Qin Hao, Emperor Ming chose to succeed the throne. In addition, Zhang Jiao also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang fell in love with Emperor Ming. If Emperor Ming succeeded to the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang''s goal would not be to seize the throne by force, but to marry Emperor Ming and sit on the throne of Emperor Ming.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely bitter in his heart and said to himself: "Master, you still count your disciples as tightly. In addition, do you really like Qin Hao so much?"
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to admit that his master''s vision was still very accurate before his death. As for now, Qin Hao''s achievements are indeed greater than his. If he receives gifts from the Ming Dynasty, it will be almost a foregone conclusion that Qin Hao will unify the world.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to give up. He did not think he was inferior to Qin Hao, and he just started to exert force. Although Qin Hao is stronger than him at present, it does not mean he is worse than him in the future. But if the Ming Dynasty belongs to Qin Hao again, he will never have hope of catching up with Qin Hao again.
"Why? Why? Why..."
Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists with a ferocious expression, but he roared wildly deep in his heart. He had already worked so hard, and he had already given all his money for the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Ming, but his master and Emperor Ming both chose others. How could he accept this?
“…That’s how it is. When my adoptive father used the future and exchanged the present with Qin Hao, he still failed to grasp the present even though we tried our best. At the same time, he lost the future to Qin Hao. Now it’s time to accept the loss.
The original intention of the adoptive father to raise an army was never for power, but for the benefit of the people of the world. However, the era started by the adoptive father had more than ten years died in just ten years.
We originally wanted to benefit the people, but we did not expect that they would hurt the people. If we cannot reunify the world as soon as possible, today''s era will evolve into a new Spring and Autumn Period and the casualties in the world will be even more tragic.
My Ming Dynasty has completely offended the aristocratic families and has no strength to unify the world. Only by joining forces with Qin Hao can we unify the world as soon as possible and prevent the arrival of a darker era. ”
Emperor Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with hope and said seriously: "So, Senior Brother Zhu, please tell me your choice is to follow me, join forces with Qin Hao to end the troubled times, and restore peace and tranquility to the people of the world.
Or should we stick to our ambitions and ignore the lives and deaths of the people? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Emperor Ming had issued an ultimatum. If the next answer was not as good as her wish, even if he would not die today, he would obviously not be able to leave the palace. But if he asked him to give up his ambition, it would be even worse than death for him.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head after breathing a long breath, looked at Emperor Ming calmly and said, "I have another question? In your Majesty''s heart, what do you think of me as?"
"Brother, I have always regarded my senior brother as my own brother. If my senior brother is willing, I will still be my brother in the future." Emperor Ming said seriously.
Just brother?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little sad, but then he said to himself: I am not willing to be your brother.
"I have the last question, Your Majesty, do you really love Qin Hao?"
Emperor Ming was stunned and frowned and said, "Senior Brother Zhu, what do you mean?"
"I understand, let me put it another way. Does Your Majesty think Qin Hao really loves you?"
The cold light flashed in Emperor Ming''s eyes, and his eyes gradually became colder.
Zhang Liang''s eyes flashed in his eyes on one side, and he hid it very well, neither Emperor Ming nor Zhu Yuanzhang noticed it.
"It''s worthy of being the one chosen by the eldest brother. Zhu Yuanzhang, you are indeed not simple." Zhang Liang said in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not care about Emperor Ming’s murderous eyes and sneered: “Although I am willing to follow Your Majesty and cooperate with Qin Hao to end the troubled times as soon as possible, there is one condition.”
