Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Looking at Zhu Youjian who was a little crazy, Li Xiao turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked in a deep voice: "Brother, what do you think Zhu Youjian is for."

"Why can't he admit that he is the founder of the Ming Empire?"

"Why can't he correctly understand his mistakes?"

"Are the four words "King of a Subjugated Country" so important to him?"

"Does he have to be so stubborn?"

Li Xiao really couldn't understand Zhu Youjian's crazy behavior, so he could only ask Zhu Yuanzhang for his opinion.

After hearing Li Xiao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly.

"Li Xiao, the reason why Zhu Youjian is so persistent is because he is the emperor."

"When he sat on the throne, he had an instinctive resistance to the words "king of a subjugated country."

"If possible, we estimate that he would rather not be the emperor than to be called the king of subjugation by future generations."

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again.

Looking at Zhu Youjian not far away in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think.

If he were in Zhu Youjian's position, could he do better than Zhu Youjian?

Can the Ming Dynasty return to its peak?

If the Ming Empire perished in his hands, would he be able to bear the words "King of a Subjugated Country"?

All this is unclear.

After all, those are things that didn't happen, those are all what-ifs.

But Zhu Yuanzhang himself knew very well that if the Ming Dynasty really perished in his hands.

Then his resistance to the words "King of a Subjugated Country" is probably even more intense than Zhu Youjian's.

After all, they are all emperors, and they have no pursuit of material things at all.

The only thing that can be pursued or hoped to be pursued is reputation, especially the reputation of future generations.

The words "King of a Subjugated Country" are enough to nail an emperor to the pillar of shame in history.

I believe that no emperor would want to be called a king who subjugated his country.

What's more, it's Zhu Yuanzhang.

Looking at the crazy Zhu Youjian, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply: "Li Xiao, let him calm down first."

"It's not too early. We can come back tomorrow to ask questions."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Xiao nodded.

Zhu Youjian's mental state is indeed very bad at the moment, and it is probably useless to continue asking.

Maybe it will further irritate Zhu Youjian.

Immediately, Li Xiao winked at Li Xiongzhi, Tian Zhiwei and others.

Li Xiongzhi and Tian Zhiwei stepped forward directly and surrounded Zhu Youjian.

The pampered Zhu Youjian was no match for these people. He was controlled by just one meeting.

Li Xiao frowned as he looked at Zhu Youjian, whose hands were clamped by Li Xiongzhi but still laughing.

"Tie him up, he looks very uneasy," Li Xiao said.

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded in agreement: "Tie him up first and let him calm down."

"If he is left like this, who knows if he will cause any trouble."

Immediately, Tian Zhiwei found some hemp ropes and tied Zhu Youjian up.

After tying up Zhu Youjian, Tian Zhiwei looked at Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked with some confusion: "Brother Xiao, eldest brother."

"Where should we put this kid?"

"Besides, I feel like we need someone to keep an eye on him, just in case he does something stupid."

Tian Zhiwei is right, people are under control, but where should they be placed?
Not only do you need to settle down, but you also need someone to watch over you every step of the way.

Because Zhu Youjian's condition is indeed not right at the moment, and it would be bad if something unexpected happens.

After hearing Tian Zhiwei's words, Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Then, Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang both looked at Tian Zhiwei: "Old Tian, ​​since you brought it up, then I'll leave this matter to you."

"As for where you want to keep him, it's up to you."

"As long as you keep an eye on him."

Li Xiao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Tian Zhiwei was stunned.

What Li Xiao meant was that he had given himself the job of looking after Zhu Youjian.

Tian Zhiwei couldn't help being speechless, he just asked casually.

Unexpectedly, he found a job for himself, and it was not a good job at all.

What a good job it would be to look after a slightly crazy person.

But Li Xiao had already spoken, and he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it.

"Okay. Brother Xiao."

After saying that, Tian Zhiwei turned to look at the crazy Zhu Youjian.

He was thinking about where to place Zhu Youjian.

Things on Zhu Youjian's side have come to an end for the time being.

Under Tian Zhiwei's greeting, everyone started eating.

But because of Zhu Youjian's appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang lost his appetite.

Zhu Yuanzhang ate a few bites of food in a hurry and then went back.

He was thinking about what Zhu Youjian said today.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still asking himself what he should do if he was put in Zhu Youjian's position.

Or how can he save the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period.

This problem made Zhu Yuanzhang think about it for a while, but he didn't seem to come up with any safe way.

After all, he needs to face an already unbearable dynasty, and it is a dynasty that has long been corrupted.

Although he was Zhu Yuanzhang, he was not 100% sure that he could save the Ming Dynasty at that time.

A Ming Dynasty that has experienced nearly 300 years of faltering is completely different from the beginning of the country.

It can even be said that saving the Ming Dynasty in the Chongzhen era was more difficult than conquering the world with just one bowl at the beginning.

But one thing Zhu Yuanzhang can be sure of is that if he were the emperor, the Ming Dynasty would definitely not perish in his hands.

Not to mention bringing the Ming Dynasty to a new height, it should not be a big problem to renew the Ming Dynasty for another 30 years.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

Although Zhu Youjian kept saying that he was not the king of subjugation, it was because Zhu Youxiao hollowed out the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Youjian, as the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is indeed somewhat responsible.

The only thing to blame is that Zhu Youjian's fate was bad and he chose to take over the Ming Dynasty at this time.

But Zhu Youjian just doesn't have the ability to change the situation.

It's true that time is destiny and fortune plays a role in people.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought as he walked towards his room. He knew that it would be difficult to sleep tonight.

For no reason, he felt sorry for his unfulfilled descendants.

On the other side, Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun also returned to their residences after eating.

After returning to his room, Li Xiao was also thinking about Zhu Youjian.

It was not because of Zhu Youjian, but because he remembered the ending of the Ming Dynasty on the real historical line.

The Ming Dynasty was the last Han dynasty in history. Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, every emperor of the Ming Empire was quite legendary.

Each Ming emperor has his own unique story. Li Xiao still has a good impression of the Ming Dynasty.

But in the end it fell apart under such circumstances.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were causing trouble inside, and Huang Taiji was constantly invading the border outside.

Even though Li Xiao, as a descendant, had long known the fate of the Ming Dynasty, he still felt somewhat regretful.

What would have happened if the Ming Dynasty had not been destroyed at that time.

What if Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian was not such a waste and extended the life of the Ming Dynasty for 30 more years?

Will there be anyone in the Ming Empire who can truly save and change the Ming Dynasty in these 30 years?

Will Huang Taiji always be blocked, and will he never have a chance to win the Central Plains?

As the first country in the world to play with firearms, will the Ming Empire undergo particularly big changes in the future?

Will there be disruptive changes in industry and technology, starting a new round of world domination?

If the Ming Dynasty really survived in the end, then there would be no such thing as the following.

Do they not need to learn foreign languages ​​at all?

Of course, these are just what-ifs.

The fact has happened, so we must face and examine it correctly.

Rather than being unwilling to admit it, I have been living in what if.

Just like Zhu Youjian.

He has always been unwilling to admit that he was the king of the subjugated country, and kept shirking his responsibilities as the emperor of the Ming Empire.

The core of the problem was thrown on the head of the Donglin Party and the head of Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

It's not that Li Xiao is targeting Zhu Youjian, but that Li Xiao is dissatisfied with Zhu Youjian's attitude.

As the emperor of the Ming Empire and the monarch of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian didn't even have this responsibility.

If Zhu Youjian was still alive, the Ming Empire would still exist.

But now that Zhu Youjian has come to Taoyuan Wonderland, the Ming Dynasty has long been destroyed.

Zhu Youjian is still so tough-talking, still unwilling to admit his mistakes and take responsibility for his actions.

He, Li Xiao, just looked down on such people and emperors.

This is simply a disgrace to the old Zhu family.

In Li Xiao's opinion, Zhu Youjian is a coward.

It was precisely because there were emperors like Zhu Youjian in the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Dynasty finally fell apart.

This is why Li Xiao always said that Zhu Youjian was the king of subjugation.

Zhu Youjian not only had problems with his own abilities, but also had an uncorrected attitude towards problems, which made Li Xiao look very displeased.

This is not the attitude a qualified emperor should have.

This is not the magnanimity a man should have, and does not show any responsibility at all.

Speaking of which, it means lamenting his misfortune and being angry for his inability to fight.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao sighed lightly.

Except for his father-in-law Zhu Di, the old Zhu family is basically worse than the previous generation.

Zhu Ningyun on the side saw Li Xiao's appearance and immediately guessed that Li Xiao was because of Zhu Youjian's incident today.

Immediately, Zhu Ningyun asked: "Li Xiao, are you still thinking about Zhu Youjian?"

Li Xiao nodded: "Yes."

Then, Li Xiao turned to look at Zhu Ningyun, smiled lightly and said: "Ningyun, speaking of which, this Zhu Youjian is also your descendant."

"You are his great-aunt."

"I just think it's really infuriating that the old Zhu family has such unsatisfactory descendants."

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Zhu Ningyun smiled lightly: "Li Xiao, that's what I said."

"But Zhu Youjian and I are never from the same world."

"Why do you have to worry about Zhu Youjian."

In Zhu Ningyun's view, even all parallel worlds are projections of the real world.

But a parallel world is a parallel world after all, and it is still different from the real world.

People and things in the two worlds are relatively independent, and there are not many inevitable connections.

It can even be said that the real world and the parallel world are two completely different worlds.

Even from one world to another, they are completely different people.

There is no need to make people in this world sad because of what happened in another world.

Hearing Zhu Ningyun's words, Li Xiao nodded slightly: "Ningyun, you are right."

"What does Zhu Youjian have to do with me?"

"Whether he is a subjugated king or not has nothing to do with me. Besides, the Ming Empire is gone."

"Why should I argue with Zhu Youjian again about who is the king of the country?"

"Since Zhu Youjian is so obsessed with the title of King of Subjugation, it would be good to let him live in his own world."

After hearing Zhu Ningyun's words, Li Xiao felt a little relieved.

Although he is a person from the real world, he is not a person from the real world now.

His main life trajectory is still in this parallel world.

He should truly be a person from this parallel world.

Since they are two different worlds, there is no need for Li Xiao to substitute things from the real world.

Although when he was in the real world, he had regretted the fall of the Ming Dynasty and was disappointed with Zhu Youjian.

I have also imagined what would have happened if the Ming Dynasty had not been destroyed.

But now he is in a parallel world.

The Ming Dynasty in this world is under his influence, and it is completely different from the Ming Dynasty in the real world.

What he needs to focus on now is the Ming Dynasty in this parallel world, not the dead Ming Dynasty in the real world.

Li Xiao thought clearly about the relationship between this.

Now in Li Xiao's eyes, there is only the Ming Empire that is still flourishing.

In the real world, the Ming Dynasty, which has long since collapsed, just treat it as a story.

"Ningyun, you are right."

"We and Zhu Youjian are originally from two different worlds."

"Even the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty of two worlds."

"Why should we care about what the Ming Dynasty is like in the real world? As long as we manage the Ming Dynasty in our world well, it will be fine."

"From now on, there is only one Ming Empire in my eyes."

"That is the Ming Dynasty of our world."

"Because you exist in the Ming Empire in this world."

"As long as you are here, that is the best, the most real, and what I want most."

Li Xiao looked at Zhu Ningyun and said with a smile.

After saying that, he hugged Zhu Ningyun fiercely into his arms.

Facing the sudden hug, Zhu Ningyun was also stunned.

But they quickly reacted and the two hugged each other tightly.

At this moment, I no longer think about anything in the real world or the parallel world.
