Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already heard Zhuangzi's description, knew very well.
Everything that was happening now was not the future that Zhuang Zi had simulated.
It was a future that was actually happening.
His sons were really being persecuted by his grandson, Zhu Yunwen.
His twelfth son had indeed jumped into the burning palace and was burned to death.
This was a branch of the future.
It was a future that was created by one's own thoughts.
In this thought, he chose to let Zhu Yunwen be the future emperor.
That was why everything that was happening in front of him had happened.
When faced with a choice, everyone thought that they had made a choice.
They would develop in the direction they wanted.
In fact, every choice led to a different timeline and an unpredictable future.
It was like a person had several cups of water with different flavors in front of him.
Every cup of wine would have a different feeling.
However, in addition to these feelings, he also had to face the unknown consequences of whether there was salt, sugar, or even poison in it.
Even if the glass of water was safe, they would still have to face the consequences of choking to death.
Just like how Zhu Yuanzhang chose Zhu Yunwen as his successor.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
Even if this grandson of his did not have the ability of his dead son, Zhu Biao, he would not be able to do so.
However, after his own training and the teachings of the great Confucians for so many years, he had been able to achieve a breakthrough.
At the very least, he had to know a lot about the way of being a ruler.
No matter how bad it was, he would only become a mediocre emperor.
As long as he didn't go too far, it wouldn't have any substantial impact on Da Ming's future.
Then, he would wait for another wise ruler to come out of the future and set things right.
Even if the descendants did not have a wise ruler, they would all be incompetent rulers.
Then the outstanding sons of his enfeoffed sons could also enter the capital to replace them.
This was what Zhu Yuanzhang gave to the Zhu family and to Ming.
A planned future development route.
In this way, Da Ming could be passed down for thousands of generations.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe that his descendants were all mediocre people.
However, what Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect was…
His grandson did not grow up as he had expected.
He did not become a wise ruler, nor did he become a fatuous ruler.
Instead, he made a decision that he would never have thought of in his life.
Cut the vassals!
He had crippled all his sons.
He destroyed the fence that he had painstakingly built for the Darming Dynasty.
Not only that, but he also wanted to persecute his sons.
The crazy King of Yan, Zhu Di, in Beiping was a clear example.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife when he saw Zhu Bai jumping into the fire.
However, all of this happened because he chose to let Zhu Yunwen take the throne.
At the same time, there were all sorts of different futures.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little unwilling to give up.
He couldn't help but ask Zhuang Zi,"
"Zhuang Zi, if we wake up.”
"Kill the idea of passing the throne to Zhu Yunwen.”
"I won't let Zhu Yunwen inherit our throne.”
"Then will everything in front of us still happen?”
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer the high and mighty emperor who controlled the lives of countless people.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had already become a father.
A father who wanted to save his son from the fire.
However, Zhuangzi's voice broke Zhu Yuanzhang's fantasy.
It brought endless despair to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"No, the future that has already happened has already happened in this timeline.”
"No one can change that.”
Hearing Zhuang Zi's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was first filled with despair and then anger.
Like an aged lion, he roared at the manor,"
"If that's the case, then why did you let me see everything that has already happened?”
However, Chuang Tzu still replied in a calm voice,"
"What is happening now has nothing to do with me.”
"Regardless of what is happening now.”
"Or do you want to see everything that has happened with your own eyes?”
"It's all decided by your own thoughts, Your Majesty.”
"If Your Majesty changes your mind, it will only lead Your Majesty's timeline to the future you want.”
"And the future of all this is still uncontrollable.”
Hearing Zhuang Zi's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger was instantly extinguished.
Yes, Zhuang Zi was right. Everything that happened before his eyes.
It was all because of his own thought.
What did it have to do with Zhuang Zi?
The burning palace in front of him only had the sound of cracking wood.
There were no more screams.
His son Zhu Bai had already died in the sea of fire with his family and loyal guards.
From then on, there was no longer a son in the world.
The weather was dry, and the air flow brought by the fire turned into a gust of wind.
Then, the wind swept the flames away.
Soon, the entire Xiang King Manor was engulfed in a sea of fire.
At this moment, the Ming soldiers who were knocking on the door outside finally rushed in.
However, looking at the raging flames in front of him, he could not help but sigh.
The leader of the Ming army who rushed in was helpless.
In this era, this kind of fire was far from something that human strength could overcome.
The leader of the Ming army looked at the palace that could not withstand the fire and collapsed.
The blazing flames reflected on the Ming army leader's face, turning it red.
After a long while, the leader let out a long sigh and said,
"Immediately evacuate the residents near the Imperial Residence.”
"We can't let the fire spread.”
The soldiers who received the order immediately rushed out.
The leader also turned his horse around and left the manor.
He had to hurry back to the capital to report this news to His Majesty.
The fire burned for several hours.
Finally, after burning the entire King Xiang's Mansion to ashes, the flames were stopped.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood rooted to the ground.
He stared blankly at the ruined Xiang Wang Residence.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally moved.
Step by step, he walked towards the ruins of the Imperial Residence that had already been reduced to scorched earth.
At this moment, the original location of the palace had already become a pile of broken bricks and tiles.
With the help of Zhuang Zi.
Even when Zhu Yuanzhang stepped on the rubble, he didn't feel the heat at all.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang wished that he could feel this feeling.
In that case, he might have been able to save his son just now.
The burnt wood was still smoking.
It was as if he was telling everything that had just happened.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the center of the palace.
There were dozens of corpses lying in the palace.
It was not that Zhu Yuanzhang had never seen such a tragic corpse.
However, those corpses belonged to the enemy.
The corpses in front of him were the corpses of his loved ones.
A huge horse corpse was lying on the ground.
There was also a corpse under the horse corpse.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this was his son, Zhu Bai.
Zhu Yuanzhang squatted down.
He wanted to dig out his son's body.
However, all of this was still useless.
Zhu Yuanzhang's hands passed through the horse's corpse.
Nothing on the ground had changed.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely frustrated and helpless.
As the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty.
He had experienced so many hardships in his life.
In the end, he established the Darming Dynasty. How high-spirited was he?
At this moment, he could only watch helplessly as things happened in the future.
But he was powerless to change it.
The scene of her son leaping into the sea of fire appeared in her mind again and again.
That resolute expression also appeared in his mind.
Every time, Zhu Yuanzhang would feel heartbroken and powerless.
