Kill the Crown Prince, and You'll Be the Emperor!
Zhu Biao's simulation time was very short, only three minutes.
Zhu Biao, the prince of Ming Dynasty, visited Shaanxi in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu to investigate the establishment of the capital. At the beginning of Hongwu's 25th year, Zhu Biao pleaded for the Second Prince Zhu Wei to return to Xi'an. Soon after, Zhu Biao caught a cold and died on April 25, the 25th year of Hongwu.
The cold words explained Zhu Biao's three minutes of deduction. Then, vivid images appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. It was like a dream, but it was so real.
This scene was far more impactful than the cold words, and it made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart feel like it was being cut by a knife.
The three-minute video was quickly 'played' and before Zhu Biao died of illness, he was still talking to Zhu Yuanzhang about the suggestion of moving the capital to Xi'an…
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang sat up from the dragon bed, his head covered in sweat.
"My Crown Prince…How could my Crown Prince have such a short life?”
"Why? God…are you telling me that I'm going to die?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened in disbelief. He raised his head and questioned the heavens. Then, his eyes went black and he fainted on the dragon bed.
Eunuch Wang and Jiang Meng, who were guarding outside, heard the commotion immediately. Their expressions changed, and they immediately opened the door and rushed into the hall.
That night, the palace was in chaos.
………………
Early morning, Peace Palace.
"What happened in the palace last night?”
Zhu Li went up to the second floor and saw that there were many people in the palace and all of them were in a hurry. The imperial guards were even more heavily guarded. He was surprised.
"If you're curious, why don't you ask someone?”
Zhuge Liang's voice rang out in his mind.
"Senior Zhuge, are you going to watch me make a fool of myself again?”
Zhu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had to pretend to be crazy in front of outsiders every time. He even had to pretend carefully in front of the only two eunuchs in the Peace Palace. It was really too tiring.
"Then I won't pretend anymore."
Zhuge Liang continued.
Zhu Li fell silent.
He had also thought of laying his cards on the table with Old Zhu and everyone who looked down on him, but now was not the time!
He wanted to wait. A few months later, his cheap big brother would ascend to immortality.
Only when the Darming Dynasty was in chaos would he have a chance.
……
"You said that the emperor was fine, why did he suddenly faint?”
"I heard that he had a nightmare. After saying a few words of nonsense, he lost consciousness.”
"What nonsense?"
"I think it's about the Crown Prince…"
The whispers of the two palace maids rang in Zhu Li's ears.
Not wanting to pretend to be crazy, Zhu Li could only eavesdrop on the conversation of his subordinates outside the hall. He had done this many times before because everyone knew that the crazy Zhu Li liked to catch crickets in the weeds at the corner of the wall. Even if they saw him there, no one would care.
After all, what could a fool know?
"Zhu Yuanzhang fainted?"
After hearing the conversation between the two palace maids, Zhu Li was moved.
In Zhu Li's memory, Zhu Yuanzhang had not been seriously ill in his later years, except for the 31st year of Hongwu's reign. How could he have fainted without any reason and caused such a huge commotion?
"Brat, your chance is here!"
Right at this moment, Ying Zheng's voice rang out in Zhu Li's head, with a hint of excitement and impatience.
"What do you mean?"
The corner of Zhu Li's mouth twitched. He knew how unreliable the First Emperor was!
"As long as Zhu Yuanzhang dies, won't your chance come?”
"Kill the Crown Prince and you will be the Emperor!”
"Hahaha…"
Ying Zheng's arrogant laughter echoed in Zhu Li's mind.
If he could, Zhu Li really wanted to pull this guy out of his head and strangle him to death!
However, there was one thing that Ying Zheng was right about, and that was that this might be his chance. Moreover, from what the two palace maids had said, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang fainted was related to the Crown Prince, so he had to figure this out.
"This Prince wants to see Imperial Father."
Having made up his mind, Zhu Li entered the courtyard and found the two eunuchs who were cleaning.
"Wangye, my little ancestor, the emperor's side is in a mess right now. Can you not go and add to the mess?”
The two eunuchs 'faces changed when they heard this. Apparently, they had also heard about Zhu Yuanzhang's fainting.
"I want to see Imperial Father!"
Zhu Li said and went straight into the room to change clothes.
……
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had already woken up. However, his face was terrifyingly gloomy as he sat on the bed.
Everything that the simulator had deduced was so real that he had no choice but to believe it.
However, how could he accept the fact that the Crown Prince, whom he had nurtured for more than twenty years, was about to die in front of him?
He couldn't even tell anyone about all of this because the Crown Prince was already on his way back to the capital. Everything was acting very normal, so who could he tell? Who would believe it?
If he didn't know that the simulator was a divine item that fell from the sky, a tool used by the heavens to assist him, even he himself wouldn't be willing to believe it.
An unchangeable fate…
Could it be that Zhu Biao's fate was truly unchangeable?
"Emperor, the imperial physician said that you only had a nightmare. Why did you suddenly faint? Do you feel better now?"
Lan Yu, who had rushed over after hearing the news, asked with concern.
Behind him, there were many officials from the six departments, led by the Huaixi Group.
"We're fine. Why are you all here? Hurry up and do what you should do. I won't die yet!”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lan Yu and the others, his gaze sweeping across the faces of these Huaixi dignitaries.
One had to know that these people were the people he had left behind for Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
At this moment, looking at the group of people in front of him, he felt inexplicably irritated and even had a hint of killing intent.
Seemingly sensing the sharpness that flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Lan Yu's heart trembled slightly. However, before he could say anything, he saw Eunuch Wang hurriedly walk in.
"Your Majesty, the King of Han requests an audience."
Eunuch Wang's words made everyone present look at each other.
King of Han?
Wasn't it that foolish prince?
Why was he here?
Zhu Yuanzhang was also surprised. However, when he thought of the Crown Prince's impending death, he felt an inexplicable ache in his heart. He also felt especially sorry for his silly son, Zhu Li.
This was also his son. Unfortunately, he had some mental problems!
"Let him in. We haven't seen him in a while.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment before he ordered.
