After Zhu Zhanji left, Zhu Yunqi sat under the pine tree and meditated for a long time.

[I also hope that my uncle is really dead, because his death is not a bad thing for the world. 】

【Perhaps that uncle of mine set himself on fire just for the consideration of the common people in the world. 】

Thinking of these two sentences, Zhu Yunwen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled mockingly: "I didn't set myself on fire for the sake of the people of the world..." He deliberately set fire to the palace for his own survival and escaped from it.

He just thought about running for his life, not to mention the people in the world, even his concubine and children didn't think about it.

"Are the people in the world?" Zhu Yunxuan asked himself, he did a lot of things after he became the throne, and he did a lot for the people, but he didn't really think about the people, but wanted to do some good things to show his "benevolence".

He listened to Fang Xiaoru's words, he lost weight, taxed him, and abolished torture. He was praised by the ministers and the people, who praised him as a benevolent king.

Zhu Yunqi only wanted to be a benevolent monarch, and he didn't really think about the people, let alone do things for the people.

Looking back on his years in power, Zhu Yunqi found that he hadn't made any real achievements.On the contrary, because of his harsh cutting of the vassal, the fourth uncle rebelled, and the ensuing war caused the common people to live an uneasy life.

【If my uncle is still alive, it will be a bad thing for the common people in the world. 】

[If you make a comeback and war breaks out again, you will inevitably lose your life. 】

The two words of Zhu Zhanji and the abbot echoed in his mind, and a wry smile appeared on Zhu Yunqi's face.Even a child of three or four years old knows that if he is still alive, he will bring chaos to the world, but he has been thinking about making a comeback for the past few months and regaining the throne from his fourth uncle. What effect does it have on the people.

Zhu Yunwen suddenly remembered that the emperor's grandfather said to him when he was alive, that the masters of the Ming Dynasty are the common people, not the scholar-bureaucrats.Without common people, there would be no emperor and no scholar-officials.

As an emperor, what he has to do is to let the common people live a peaceful and good life.Only when the common people's lives are better off can the country of Ming Dynasty be stabilized.If the common people cannot live a stable life, Daming will disappear like the previous dynasty.

It was only at this time that Zhu Yunqi realized that since he became the throne, he only wanted to implement his benevolent government and be his benevolent monarch, but he never thought about how to let the common people live a stable and good life.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhu Yunqi found that he was a hypocritical "benevolent emperor", not a really good emperor.

Fourth Uncle's grandson understood this truth when he was only three or four years old, but he didn't understand it, which is really ridiculous.

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and laughed, the laughter was full of sarcasm and sadness.

Zhu Zhanji didn't know that his words hit Zhu Yunqi so hard.At this time, he had returned to Zhu Di's side.

Zhu Di and the abbot also finished talking about things, and when they saw Zhu Zhanji came back, they prepared to get up and leave.

He knew that if he stayed in Huangjue Temple, the abbot and Zhu Yunqi would be nervous and cramped.In order not to startle the snake, he decided to leave Huangjue Temple earlier.

As for offering sacrifices to ancestors, they should be held on the ninth day of September.The purpose of coming to Huangjue Temple today is to offer incense to Zhu Di's grandfather and grandmother.

Zhu Di was not in a hurry to ask Zhu Zhanji about Zhu Yunqi, he took Zhu Zhanji back to the Royal Courtyard on horseback before asking.

"Have you seen Yunwen?" The underground Buddhist hall where Zhu Yunwen was located was of course found by the people sent by Zhu Di.

"I was about to find that underground Buddhist hall, but I didn't expect that the bad guy Uncle Yunwen ran out by himself." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "I saw him as soon as I walked into the backyard."

Zhu Di was very surprised and said, "Did he not hide in the underground Buddhist hall?"

"No, he ran out by himself." When Zhu Yunqi was mentioned, Zhu Zhanji's little face showed a look of contempt, "Grandfather, what do you think he thinks, knowing that you are here, he is not honest He stayed in the underground Buddhist hall, but ran up on his own initiative. If he hadn't met me, do you think he would have just run out of the backyard and ran to you."

Zhu Di sneered and said, "He won't, and he doesn't dare to run in front of me."

"Then why did he run out of the underground Buddhist hall?" Zhu Zhanji mocked, "Did he come out to breathe?"

Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "Maybe I really came out to breathe."

Zhu Zhanji: "..." With the temperament of the villain Uncle Yunwen, maybe he really came out to breathe.

Zhu Di asked, "What did you tell him?"

"Hey hey..." Zhu Zhanji suddenly laughed maliciously.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw his precious grandson smiling so badly: "Zhan Ji, you won't play tricks on him, will you?"

"He thought I didn't know him, so I must play tricks on him."

Zhu Di stretched out his hand and gently pinched Zhu Zhanji's little face, and said with a doting smile, "You little villain, how did you play tricks on him?"

"Grandfather, let me tell you..." Zhu Zhanji repeated to Zhu Di exactly what he said when he saw Zhu Yunqi.

After Zhu Di listened, he was amused, helpless and relieved.

"Grandpa, do you think the bad guy Uncle Yunwen can understand me?" Zhu Zhanji felt that Zhu Yunqi was a nerd, maybe he didn't understand him.

"You speak so directly, how could he not understand." Zhu Di felt that Zhu Yunqi was not a fool, and would not understand Zhu Zhanji's words.

"Understanding is one thing, but being able to do it is another."

Zhu Zhanji felt that what his grandfather said was right, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, it's very difficult for the villain Uncle Yunwen to give up the idea of ​​not being an emperor anymore, after all, he was an emperor before." People who have been emperors, How could it be easy to be a monk.

"There is also his hatred for me, and he will not give up so easily." Zhu Di would never believe that Zhu Yunqi would give up the idea of ​​making a comeback because of Zhu Zhanji's words.

"However, Grandpa Huang, I think the bad guy Uncle Yunwen has a big problem."

When Zhu Di heard the words of his precious grandson, he asked with great interest, "What's wrong?"

"The bad guy Uncle Yunwen has no courage and is too weak." Zhu Zhanji said with a very serious expression on his face, "What I said today will still affect him to some extent. With his character, If you want to make a comeback, you must be very hesitant."

Zhu Di felt that the words of the precious grandson were very reasonable, and nodded slightly: "If he really gives up on making a comeback, then let him stay in Huangjue Temple in peace." Blame him for not caring about his uncle and nephew.

"Grandpa, the villain Uncle Yunwen is afraid of death, he dare not act rashly." If the villain Uncle Yunwen was not afraid of death, he would not have set fire to the palace and escaped alone.

"Zhanji, what if this is all an illusion?"

"Illusion?" Zhu Zhanji was slightly stunned, and then he reacted and asked, "Grandfather, are you saying that all this may be pretended by the villain Uncle Yunwen, and then paralyzed us?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji reacted so quickly, Zhu Di was very relieved: "It's not impossible."

"If it was someone else, Grandpa Huang, if you said he was pretending, I would definitely believe it, but if you said that the villain Uncle Yunwen was pretending, I wouldn't believe it."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji said so firmly, Zhu Di asked in surprise: "Why do you think Yun Wen is not pretending?"

Zhu Zhanji pouted and said, "Because he doesn't have such a brain."

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's sharp words, Zhu Di was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly: "Are you so sure that Yun Wen has no brains to pretend?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded affirmatively: "Sure. If it's Uncle Xiongying, I believe he's definitely trying his best, but that's fine with the villainous Uncle Yunwen." Can the villainous Uncle Yunwen's beaming temperament be faked?

"Why?"

"Grandpa Huang, think about it, if the villain Uncle Yunwen has such a brain, he can't hold on to his throne." Only Zhu Zhanji dared to say this in front of Zhu Di, "If he can really pretend, when he sees him, he can't keep his throne." And when he recognizes me, he will definitely do something to me." Among other things, when he saw him, he would definitely try his best to trick him, but he didn't.

Zhu Di suddenly asked: "If you were Yun Wen, what would you do?"

Zhu Zhanji who asked this question was stunned for a moment, then he thought for a while and said: "Grandpa Huang, if I were the villain Uncle Yunwen, I would not come to Huangjue Temple to become a monk."

"Didn't you say before that Huangjue Temple is the most dangerous place and the safest place, why don't you come to Huangjue Temple to become a monk?"

"It's very simple, because you will be recognized." Zhu Zhanji said seriously, "If you don't talk about Huangjue Temple, you can talk about Fengyang. There are also many ordinary people who can recognize the bad guy Uncle Yunwen. After all, he has been to Fengyang a lot. Second-rate."

Zhu Di nodded lightly and said, "That's true."

"To stay in a place where anyone can recognize who I am, how big my heart must be." Zhu Zhanji resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Besides, I hide in the underground Buddhist hall all day long, and I can't go out to see How uncomfortable it is for people. Also, I have to worry about being recognized by the monks of Huangjue Temple every day, and I will definitely not be able to eat or sleep well. This is so painful."

"Just because of this?"

"I will definitely go to a place where I don't know me. I don't have to become a monk. Maybe I will live as an ordinary person." Zhu Zhanji continued, "See if there is any chance to make a comeback. If there is no chance to make a comeback, then I will be a Ordinary people are alive, anyway, Grandpa Huang, you dare not look for me blatantly."

Zhu Di was amused by Zhu Zhanji's last words: "Then you are really smart."

Zhu Zhanji straightened out his small chest, and said proudly: "Then I must be smarter than the villain Uncle Yunwen. Daming is so big, I can definitely find a hiding place. If it doesn't work, I will go to the mountains to live in seclusion. "

Zhu Di stretched out his hand and rubbed his precious grandson's little head, and said a little dumbfounded: "You still want to live in seclusion in the mountains."

"Grandfather, don't you think it's the safest way to live in seclusion in the mountains?"

"It's a safe way."

"Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't come to Huangjue Temple to become a monk." Zhu Zhanji pouted and said, "If I have to become a monk, then I will choose a remote temple to become a monk."

Zhu Di praised: "You are still smart."

Zhu Zhanji raised his chin proudly and said, "I must be smart."

Seeing his grandson's triumphant appearance, Zhu Di couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his cute little face.

"Great-grandfather's vision is really bad. Why did he choose the villainous Uncle Yunwen?" Zhu Zhanji complained about Zhu Yuanzhang again, "Great-grandfather knew that the villain Uncle Yunwen was soft-tempered, but he still let the villain Uncle Yunwen be the emperor."

"Because Yun Wen is your great grandfather's son."

"Just because of this, it's really too hasty to let the villain Uncle Yunwen be the emperor." Zhu Zhanji has learned a lot in the past two years, and he also understands a lot of things. "Actually, before his death, great-grandfather killed Lan Yu's generals just for the sake of the villain Uncle Yunwen, right?"

Zhu Di didn't expect Zhu Zhanji to understand this, he was slightly startled, then nodded and said: "Yes, your grandpa dare not keep the military generals of Gao Zhenzhu by Yun Wen's side."

"So, great-grandfather knows that the villain Uncle Yunwen can't restrain these generals?"

"Ah."

"I think great-grandfather was naive."

"How naive is your great-grandfather?" Only Zhan Ji dared to say that about his father.

"Great-grandfather thought that by killing Lan Yu's generals, the villain Uncle Yunwen would be able to secure the throne. This idea is really naive." Zhu Zhanji said old-fashionedly, "In addition to generals, there are also princes. When great-grandfather was alive Grandpa, you vassals dare not mess around, but after the death of great-grandfather, the vassals will not take the bad guy Uncle Yunwen seriously, after all, they are the uncles of the bad guy Uncle Yunwen."

"So, after Yun Wen ascended the throne, he began to cut down the feudal clan."

"This is the stupidest thing about the villain Uncle Yunwen. He just took the throne, and he didn't even have a firm foothold, so he directly cut down the feudal clan. Isn't that looking for death?" Zhu Zhanji said sharply, "Yu Gong, there is nothing wrong with him cutting down the feudal clan. But Yuqing, he dealt with his own uncle as soon as he ascended the throne, this is a cold-blooded performance, after all, the vassal kings have not done anything yet."

Zhu Di was shocked when he heard Zhu Zhanji's words, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Zhan Ji, if you were Yun Wen, how would you deal with the prince?"

Zhu Zhanji groped his chin, thought for a while seriously and said: "If I had just ascended the throne, I would definitely not be in a hurry to cut down the clan. I would first cultivate my own power, and then cut down the clan little by little, and I would be upright Cut the land, so that the feudal lords can't find a single fault, and let the whole world stand by my side."

Zhu Di's heart shook violently, but his face was still very calm: "What else?"

"No more, things like cutting the feudal clan have to be done slowly, and cutting the feudal clan ruthlessly as soon as it comes up will definitely anger the feudal king." Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled very treacherously, "We need to boil the frogs in warm water."

Zhu Di bowed his head and kissed his precious grandson's little face, "That's very well said."

"In a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, you can't fight hard. You have to show weakness and let the opponent relax. It's best to let the opponent look down on you, and then wait until the time is right to get rid of the opponent." Zhu Zhanji crossed his hands and hugged his chest, with a small expression very proud , "This is great-grandfather and grandpa emperor. I think the art of war you taught me can be used in court."

"Okay, okay, you are indeed a good grandson of the emperor." Seeing that his precious grandson is so smart, Zhu Di felt relieved and proud at the same time.

"Great-grandfather is still too sentimental." Knowing that the villain Uncle Yunwen is not suitable to be emperor, but just because the villain Uncle Yunwen is the son of the great grandfather, he recklessly let the villain Uncle Yunwen succeed him.Even if his grandpa did not send troops, with the ability of the villain Uncle Yunyun, there would still be other people rebelling. "When my great-grandfather chose you as my successor, there were not so many things."

Zhu Di very much agrees with what Zhu Zhanji said.

At the beginning, he also felt that he was more suitable for that seat than Yun Wen.

"Great-grandfather still doesn't think he did something wrong." Zhu Zhanji shook his head helplessly, "Great-grandfather's mouth is really too hard."

Zhu Di knew that his precious grandson was complaining about him, so he reached out and touched Zhu Zhanji's chubby face, and said softly, "It's okay."

"Grandpa, you have to do a good job." Zhu Zhanji's expression suddenly became very serious, "You not only have to do a better job than the villain Uncle Yunwen, but you also have to do a better job than your great-grandfather, so that your great-grandfather will know what he is doing." wrong."

"Okay, grandpa, do a good job." Zhu Di is confident that he will be a good emperor, and he is also confident that he will do better than Yun Wen, and even his father.

"Grandpa Huang, I support you more than great-grandfather!"

Encouraged by his precious grandson, Zhu Di felt warm in his heart, and lowered his head to rub Zhu Zhanji's forehead.

"Grandpa Huang must work harder than your great-grandfather." He will definitely let his father praise him for his good work.

"Grandfather, what about the villain Uncle Yunwen?"

"Let him stay in Huangjue Temple." Zhu Di will send more people to watch Zhu Yunqi, so as not to let people from the White Lotus Sect or others know that he is still alive, and will not let anyone approach him.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said nothing.To be honest, he felt that the safest way was to kill the villain Uncle Yunwen, which would not only save trouble, but also give him peace of mind.Just like what he said to the villain Uncle Yunwen before, his death is good for everyone.He's not dead, it's not good for anyone.

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, he will stay with Yunwen for a few years first.After a few years, there is no need for Yun Wen to survive in this world.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen had returned to the underground Buddhist hall and was knocking on wooden fish and chanting sutras.

The abbot waited for Zhu Di and the others to leave for a long time before he came to visit Zhu Yunqi in the underground Buddhist hall.

From the sound of Zhu Yunwen knocking on the wooden fish, the abbot could hear his thoughts and knew whether his heart was calm or not.

After listening for a while, the abbot found that Zhu Yunqi's heart was very calm, which made him feel a little strange.

Today, when His Majesty came to Huangjue Temple, Yuan Jing's heart should not be so peaceful.

Yesterday, when he told His Majesty that he was going to Huangjue Temple, Yuanjing looked terrified, why did he calm down a lot today, what happened?

"Yuanjing, your heart is very quiet."

Zhu Yunwen stopped knocking on the wooden fish, turned around and faced the abbot: "Abbot, you are here."

The abbot sat down opposite Zhu Yunqi, and then looked Zhu Yunqi up and down. He found that Zhu Yunqi had become a little different, which made him even more puzzled.

"Yuanjing, what happened?"

Zhu Yunqi didn't intend to hide it either: "Master, I met fourth uncle's grandson."

"His Royal Highness?" The abbot was slightly surprised, then thought of something, frowned and said, "You came out?"

Zhu Yunqi nodded: "Yes, we met in the backyard."

"Did His Royal Highness recognize you?" The abbot was most concerned about this matter.If His Royal Highness recognizes Yuanjing, then Yuanjing will be in danger.

"No, he hasn't seen me, doesn't know me."

Hearing what Zhu Yunqi said, the abbot felt relieved.

"It's fine if I don't recognize you."

"Abbot, what do you think of Zhanji?"

"His Royal Highness?" the abbot said with a deep expression on his face, "the aura is overwhelming, and it's too expensive."

"I've heard a lot of rumors about Zhanji before, saying that he descended from a god and that he was a real dragon." Zhu Yunwen chuckled lightly, "I always thought that these rumors were made by my fourth uncle on purpose, and they weren't true. But today, when I saw Zhanji, I realized that the rumors were true."

The abbot didn't speak.Because what Zhu Yunqi said was true.

"The kid is still very smart."

Hearing this, the abbot found that Zhu Yunqi's change was related to Zhu Zhanji, which made him a little curious: "Yuanjing, what did His Royal Highness tell you?"

"He said that it is not a good thing for the people in the world that my uncle is alive, but it is a good thing for the people in the world that my uncle is really dead."

The abbot was surprised: "This is what His Royal Highness said?"

"Yes." Zhu Yunqi told the abbot what he had said to Zhu Zhanji? Lazy?br/>

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunwen sighed with shame, "I'm not as good as a three or four year old child."

After hearing this, the abbot was naturally very shocked. He didn't expect that His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor, who was three or four years old, would say such words.

"Yuanjing, did His Royal Highness really not recognize you?"

"No, Zhanji has never seen me." Zhu Yunqi said firmly, "Furthermore, Fourth Uncle and the others don't know that I am in Huangjue Temple."

The abbot felt that maybe he was thinking too much: "Yuanjing, what are you going to do next?"

"Abbot, when I was in office, I didn't really do any good deeds for the people. Now that I am not in that position, I can do a good deed for the people instead. I want to give up." When Zhu Yunqi said the word [Give up] , the unwillingness and resentment that had been pressing on my heart dissipated at this moment, my whole heart suddenly became relaxed, and a smile of relief appeared on my face, "When I was in power, the people suffered from war. Now I If I am not in power, the people can live a peaceful and stable life. I don’t want to make a comeback to snatch the throne from my uncle because of my selfishness, causing the people to suffer from war again, and their families to be destroyed again. Wife and children are scattered.”

The abbot looked at Zhu Yunqi with relief in his eyes: "Yuanjing, you are for the sake of the world, let go of your obsessions, and the poor monk is happy for you."

"Abbot, to be honest, before I met Zhanji, I was still not angry, but I felt very selfish when I heard the words from the three or four-year-old Zhanji for the people of the world." Zhu Yunwen's expression was very calm , "You can't be selfish when you are a human being, and you can't be selfish when you are an emperor."

Abbot Lao Huai smiled comfortingly, "It's good that you think so."

"I'm willing to let go of my obsession for a while, but if my fourth uncle treats the people badly, I will still go for it." Common people, Fourth Uncle will leave a bad reputation forever.He thought that the fourth uncle was not a fool, even if he wanted to gain fame, the fourth uncle would try his best to "pretend" to be a good emperor.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty will be a good emperor."

Hearing what the abbot said, Zhu Yunqi was stunned, and then asked: "Abbot, are you so sure that fourth uncle will be a good emperor?"

"The poor monk saw His Majesty's face, he is the face of an emperor."

Zhu Yunwen understood the meaning of the abbot: "It seems that the fourth uncle is really the emperor of the real dragon."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, but the real dragon is His Royal Highness."

"Abbot, do you mean that Zhanji is a real dragon?"

The abbot smiled inscrutablely, but did not answer Zhu Yunqi's question.

Zhu Yunwen was shocked.He seemed to understand something, but couldn't say it.

"Zhanji, he..."

The abbot looked at Zhu Yunqi, and said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness will usher in the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, when the people of the Ming Dynasty will have enough food and clothing."

"Really?" Zhu Yunwen asked excitedly, "Will Daming really usher in a prosperous age?"

The abbot nodded his head: "Really, Daming will usher in a prosperous age that will not lose to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

"Don't lose to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty?"

"That's right." After the abbot finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly.

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. At this time, he understood what the abbot said that day.

"No wonder you told me, abbot, that fourth uncle is destined to be emperor."

"Your Majesty has great talents and strategies."

Zhu Yunwen didn't ask the abbot if he had the appearance of an emperor.He lowered his head and murmured softly, "So that's how it is!"

Seeing that Zhu Yunqi understood, the abbot didn't say any more.

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and said with a faint smile, "I finally know why the emperor's grandfather and father appear in Zhanji's dream."

The abbot smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is not a mortal."

"Unfortunately, I can't see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty created by Zhanji." When the grandfather and father were alive, they wanted Daming to have a prosperity like the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately they failed, and neither did he.Now I know that Zhanji can do it in the future, but unfortunately he will not live to that time.

"The poor monk also wants to see it." He wants to see what the prosperity of Ming Dynasty will be like.

Zhu Yunwen suddenly laughed.He smiled very happily, very sincerely, and very purely.

"That's great."

"Yuanjing, Daming will get better and better, and the lives of the people will also get better and better."

"Abbot, it's time for me to cut off all the ties of the world." Although Zhu Yunwen shaved his head and became a monk, he did not really become a monk because he had an obsession in his heart and did not cut off the ties of the world.Now that he knows that Zhu Zhanji will bring prosperity to Daming in the future, not only is he no longer unwilling, but also no longer worried.

"Yuanjing, this matter is not urgent, you can think about it again."

"Abbot, I promised Zhanji that when he comes to see me next time, I will become a real master." Zhu Yunqi joked, "I, as an uncle, can't break my promise."

The abbot saw that Zhu Yunqi's eyes were clear, without the gloom, coldness, unwillingness, and anger before, so he knew that he had really let go.

"Since that's the case, tomorrow the poor monk will personally accept the precepts for you!"

"Thank you, Abbot." At this moment, Zhu Yunqi felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

For Zhu Yunqi, being an emperor is a very stressful thing.He was always worried that he would not do well, that he would disappoint the ministers and embarrass his father and grandfather.Therefore, when he was in power, he listened to the words of the ministers very much.

The ministers praised him as a benevolent monarch, and he was happy, but at the same time very disturbed.He was worried that one day he would be negligent and do something wrong, making the ministers and the common people feel that he was not a benevolent monarch.

In order to be a good benevolent king, Zhu Yunqi has been tense during his reign, not daring to relax a little bit, and not daring to relax himself completely for a moment.

Now, he didn't have to do anything, and he didn't have to worry about anything, so he dared to relax himself completely.

In the future, he will pray for Daming every day.
