Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

what's the situation?
Inside the Xingguo Marquis Mansion, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin seemed completely confused and extremely surprised.

It was really that what Han Cheng said had too much of an impact on him!

It was even more exciting than just learning that the Song Dynasty he founded had been destroyed, and that it was destroyed by the Hu people.

Even more unexpected.

This news is too sudden and too unexpected!
After the accident, he couldn't help but frown.

"My dear brother, where did you get this from?

I am in good health and now I only eat three bowls of rice for one meal.

I practice boxing every day.

The Panlong Stick was also swung with great force.

On the battlefield, he can even lead troops to charge.

Even three or five ordinary people can’t get close to me.

Although I rarely fight with others now.

But the body is particularly good.

How can it just disappear like that?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Han Cheng and spoke with some doubt.

There is still full of disbelief.

He really couldn't believe that he would die so soon as Han Cheng said.

If Han Cheng said that he would die in three to five years, or even in a year or so, he would believe it to some extent.

But now, Han Cheng said that he would die tomorrow.

He said he didn't believe anything about this matter.

At this time, he was in very good health, being only fifty years old.

I have never had any serious illness.

Even though there were some hidden injuries during the previous battles, they were just hidden injuries.

Not life-threatening.

In addition to being sick, he suddenly remembered something else.

For example, you may not have died of illness, but of something else.

At this time, his troops were attacking Northern Han.

I have made full preparations for this expedition.

We will definitely be able to take it down in one fell swoop.

Even if there were some unexpected events and we couldn't take over Northern Han, they were just minor accidents.

It will not endanger the country.

Besides, even if the expedition against Northern Han failed again, it would only be a failure.

Even if the Northern Han comes to pursue, the overall situation will still be on their side.

I won't lose my life because of this.

Even if I really lose my life because of this, it can't happen so quickly!!

The court is also particularly stable!
As the founding emperor, he gave up military power by drinking a cup of wine.

I won't be killed by others anymore.

It was precisely because of this that he thought quickly for a long time but still could not figure out why he would die.

I became more and more confused.

I think Han Cheng is talking nonsense.

Han Cheng said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Your Majesty, since you came from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and experienced such a chaotic era, could it be that you have forgotten those events in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms so quickly?

Your Majesty is indeed in good health.

Given Your Majesty's current physical condition, you will definitely not die from illness in a short time.

However, not all deaths are caused by illness.

It could be something else.

For example, encountering an accident. "

Han Cheng's words shocked Zhao Kuangyin.

I thought of a lot of things at once.

Naturally, he would not forget what Han Cheng said about the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Son of Heaven, he who has strong soldiers and horses will do it!
The emperors kept changing like a revolving lantern.

Today it's you, tomorrow it's him!
Even he, the emperor, was also recommended to the throne and put on the yellow robe because he had too many soldiers and horses and was young.

He became the emperor reluctantly.

His eyes suddenly became solemn and murderous.

"You mean... someone is planning to assassinate me?"

Zhao Kuangyin narrowed his eyes and his gaze seemed a little cold.

After asking, he shook his head again.

"No! I have already taken precautions against this!
A long time ago, I took back a lot of military power from the generals.

To provide checks and balances.

It won't be that easy for them to launch a rebellion as they did before!
In addition to these, the military power must be divided into three parts!
The current situation is completely different from before!

Besides, I, the emperor, am still alive.

As long as I am here, no one dares to rebel!

Even if we want to rebel, we can’t do it.”

He was still very confident in saying this!

As someone who had lived through that turbulent era, he knew very well when people were likely to rebel.

That is, the first emperor is dead, and the second emperor is not capable, especially when he is young.

This is the easiest thing to happen and the easiest to succeed.

After he became emperor, he did a series of things, one of the core of which was to divide the power of military generals.

Today, he, the founding emperor, is still alive, and no one would think of rebelling at this time.

He still has this kind of confidence.

As for the matter of Ziyou, it does not exist at all.

My own son is already in his twenties.

Even if he suddenly died, he would still be able to stabilize the court.

Moreover, besides his son, there is also his younger brother.

It can also stabilize the situation.

“Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing will not happen again.

You have done a very good job in releasing military power with a toast, reforming the military system, and dividing military power.

But what if the person who attacked you was not one of those military generals, but someone very close to you, and suddenly tried to kill you?

So what?"

Han Cheng looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said.

The closest person??!
Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment.

"You mean... Defang? Dezhao?

This shouldn’t be the case! This child shouldn’t do such things! "

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head.

I feel like this can't possibly happen.

Han Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Biao were all stunned when they saw Zhao Kuangyin's reaction.

After Han Cheng said this, they all felt that Emperor Taizu of Song should have known who had attacked him.

But who would have thought that even after all this, he only suspected his son and did not suspect his younger brother Zhao Guangyi!
But it is precisely because of this that it makes people feel even more sad!
It can be seen how much Zhao Kuangyin loved his younger brother Zhao Guangyi.

How much trust there is.

That's why he became even more angry when he thought of this guy making the candlelight axe sound and killing his brother Zhao Kuangyin.

Of course, the key to the matter is this guy Zhao Guangyi. He is incompetent and after becoming emperor, he made a mess of things!
He brought the Song Dynasty into the Great Song Dynasty.

It laid the seeds for poverty and weakness.

If only he could do something like Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others naturally wouldn't care too much about the bad things he did.

But this bastard, after making a big fuss about the candlelight and axe sound and conspiring to get to the top, he made a complete mess of things.

Although both are called Taizong, he, Emperor Taizong of Song, is far inferior to Emperor Taizong of Tang!
He lowered Taizong's status!
If Emperor Taizong of Tang knew about this, he would be called Taizong just like him.

I’m afraid I’ll be extremely angry and feel extremely humiliated!

"He's not your son, he's your brother Zhao Guangyi."

Han Cheng looked at Zhao Kuangyin and told him the result directly, so that he would not have to guess any more.

This guy Zhao Guangyi changed his name several times.

His original name was Zhao Kuangyi, but after his brother ascended the throne, he changed it to Zhao Guangyi to avoid taboos.

After he ascended the throne and became emperor, he changed his name to Zhao Guangyi.

He can be said to be a versatile little gentleman!

what? !

After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhao Kuangyin was stunned and looked extremely shocked!

It is obvious that before Han Cheng said this result, he had never thought about this aspect at all.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

My brother and I are like brothers!
I have never treated him badly over the years!
And he also has a lot of authority.

As the saying goes, brothers fight together to protect the tiger, and fathers and sons fight together in battle. How could he do such a thing?

Stop talking nonsense here!! "

After being stunned, Zhao Kuangyin directly refuted! His voice became much more intense!

This fully shows how much he doesn't believe this matter!
Now, how much of a stimulation this incident gave him!

But the more he reacted like this, the more Han Cheng and others felt that Zhao Laoer was a beast!
“It’s true, it’s clearly written.

You can’t go wrong with black and white!
The second emperor of the Song Dynasty after you was not your son, but your brother Zhao Guangyi."

Zhu Yuanzhang said aloud.

It directly shattered his illusion.

Han Chengdao: "According to relevant records, you will die tomorrow night.

And your death has become the first of the three major mysteries in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Later, it was summarized as "Candle Shadow and Axe Sound."

This is indeed something hard to accept.

However, this matter also needs to be told to Zhao Kuangyin as soon as possible.

After all, tomorrow is the critical time for the candlelight and the axe sound.

He absolutely didn't want that to happen.

And they felt that this incident was a huge harm to the Song Dynasty.

Throughout the Song Dynasty, there were not many emperors who were up to standard, and Boss Zhao’s ability was second to none.

Moreover, in other dynasties, after the founding emperor, it is easy for some emperors with relatively strong abilities to emerge.

However, in the Song Dynasty, since Emperor Zhao founded the country, the subsequent emperors have been worse than the previous ones!
The real beginning is the peak!
If he were there, the history of the Song Dynasty might have been rewritten.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun might be taken back by him three or four hundred years earlier.

There wasn't a whole series of shitty things happening afterwards.

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang and Han Cheng said, Zhao Kuangyin's expression became very ugly.

The impact of this incident was too great for him. He took a deep breath, looked at Han Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "What is going on? Please tell me in detail."

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin, Han Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang no longer called themselves "Zhuang" when they spoke to each other.

Moreover, this matter is of great importance, so I decided to listen to it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This matter is actually very simple.

Tomorrow night, your brother will drink with you in your bedroom.

At that time, everyone around you was dismissed, and you seemed to be in poor health.

No one knows exactly what happened.

Only the palace maids in the distance saw someone sitting at the table in the candlelit room and urging people to drink.

Some people stood up and left the table as if to decline.

Around three o'clock in the morning, the figure who had persuaded people to drink stood up, reached out to grab the axe on the side, and smashed the ground with it, shouting, "Good job! Good job!"

After saying all this, you undressed and fell asleep, snoring like thunder!

Then at four o'clock, you died suddenly..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said this without any concealment or beating around the bush.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, who was listening attentively there, was shocked to hear that he was gone.

At the same time, countless stormy waves rose in my heart!
The feelings in my heart are so complicated!
The eyes look a little red.

Are you going to disappear just like that?
This is definitely not a normal death!
At that time, it was just me and Zhao Guangyi drinking together.

After drinking, one of his own died suddenly.

There are so many things hidden in this!

This... was really done by him?
He was shocked, angry, and sad.
I just feel like my sincerity has been wasted!

He has immense trust in his younger brother.

If it weren't for his brother taking care of him, how could he have achieved his current status?

It was me who promoted him, took care of him, and put him in power.

Later, he was conferred the title of King of Jin and appointed as the Prefect of Jingzhao.

When he first attacked Northern Han, he asked him to stay in the capital.

And this is how he repays himself?!

Before me, he had been trained as my successor!

He has not even made his own sons kings!
This younger brother was crowned king!

She treats him even better than her own son!
He just did this to himself?

I am his biological brother!

If it weren't for me, with his abilities, he would have died in the chaotic times long ago!

If he wanted to be like this now...he couldn't even think about it!

Many emotions surged into Zhao Kuangyin's heart, causing his body to tremble slightly!

"Regarding this matter, are there any other, more detailed records?"

After a moment, Zhao Kuangyin suppressed his feelings, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Han Cheng, and asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There are not many other records.

After all, you also know that after you are killed, this guy will be the emperor.

This is not a glorious thing.

The records in every aspect are veiled and vague.

Otherwise, the candle shadow and the axe sound would not be called the three major mysteries of the Song Dynasty.

However, the situation at the time was not clear.

But it can also be seen from the various subsequent reactions.

You died an unnatural death.

For example, according to records, after you passed away, Queen Song immediately asked Wang Jie'en to find her second son Zhao Defang and ask him to enter the palace immediately.

However, Wang Jie'en felt that you, the emperor, had always wanted to give the throne to Prince of Jin Zhao Guangyi.

So he went to find Zhao Guangyi.

When I got there, I found a man sitting at the gate of Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen.

This person is none other than Zuo Ya Ya, Cheng Dexuan.

This person knows medical skills.

Wang Jie'en asked him why he was sitting here.

He said he heard that Prince Jin was ill, but when he went in he didn't see anyone.

This happened two or three times. I was afraid that King Jin was really feeling unwell, so I just waited at the door.

Wang Jie'en immediately informed this person that you had suddenly passed away.

Then the two of them went in together to find King Jin.

When Zhao Guangyi heard the news that you were dead, he was shocked.

When the two of them asked him to enter the palace and become emperor, he shook his head and said that this could not be done and he had to discuss it with his family.

Then Wang Jie'en said that this matter could not be delayed.

After hearing this, he didn't say anything more.

Go quickly to your bedroom with the two of them.

When Queen Song saw that the person coming was not Zhao Defang but Zhao Guangyi, she was shocked!

Then he was called Guanjia.

She also said that the lives of her and her son were in the hands of the government.

He also said with tears in his eyes that we would share wealth in the future, so don't be afraid.

The next day, your brother ascended the throne.

And soon the era name began to change.

Change your ninth year of Kaibao to the first year of Taipingxingguo.

Please note that the reign title was not changed until the second year, but was changed directly in the same year.

At the same time, he changed his name not long afterward and was no longer called Zhao Guangyi.

Instead, he changed his name to Zhao Jiong, the Jiong of Sunfire."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew a lot about these things.

And recently, I also learned from Han Cheng that Emperor Taizu of Song was about to arrive.

So I paid extra attention to this and made some preparations.

What was said at this time was quite detailed.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, his expression had become extremely ugly at this time, so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

At first, I didn't really believe what Zhu Yuanzhang and others said.

But now, after listening to what Zhu Yuanzhang said, I feel that this is very likely to be true.

Because all of this sounds quite consistent with my younger brother's personality.

At the same time, there are too many mysteries revealed here.

All these things pointed to the fact that he was killed by this beast!
There is no doubt that whoever benefits the most from this matter will be the more suspicious!
Based on this principle, he can't escape!
Also, the reaction of his queen when she saw him coming can also explain a lot of things.

More importantly, after becoming emperor, this guy couldn't wait to change his own Kaibao Year 9.

I don't know what I feel guilty about!
Are you so anxious that you have buried the traces of yourself as an elder brother?

After the new emperor ascends the throne, everything will be returned to its original state.

But the era name will be changed only in the second year!
The reign title will not be changed in the year when the old emperor dies!
But this guy changed the year name in the same year!
Also, the fact that he changed his name is also very telling.

According to the theory of the five elements, he wants to take advantage of the virtue of fire.

It seems like they want to make him conform to certain things by changing his name!
Think about it again, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, emperors changed like a revolving lantern. How many fights took place over imperial power?

I was increasingly inclined to believe that what the man in front of me, who claimed to be the emperor of future generations, said was true.

It is precisely because of this certainty that Zhao Kuangyin's mood becomes more and more excited.

The greater the mood swings will become.

That's my own brother!!

I raised him and gave him so many younger brothers. I never had any defense or doubt towards him. He was my younger brother!!
But he treated me like this and killed his own brother with his own hands!
Who wouldn’t be angry and outraged about this?
More of it is actually sadness.

The feeling of being stabbed in the back by the person closest to you is really not a good one.

Han Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at Zhao Kuangyin's reaction and felt somewhat sympathetic.

At the same time, I understand.

Zhao Kuangyin was a man who valued feelings very much, even though he came from the turbulent times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Although he was born a military general, he seemed to be very gentle by nature.

Especially to his younger brothers, he is really nice.

Now, after receiving such news, it would be strange if I felt good about it!
Han Cheng said, "Emperor Taizu, when you return, please do not drink the wine he made.

Because after all the speculations of later generations, the most likely possibility is that he poisoned the wine and killed you!"

Poison yourself?!

Zhao Kuangyin's pupils shrank.

Han Cheng nodded at him and said, "That's right, it was poison!

Your younger brother is not a simple person.

Some people in later generations gave it the title of Breaking Bad.

This is no joke.

Not only do I feel that it is very likely that he poisoned the drink and sent you away as well.

In addition to this, there are two other things that can prove this point even more.

For example, Li Yu, the last emperor of Southern Tang, and Qian Shu, the king of Wuyue, were also poisoned to death by him.

Moreover, Qian Shu was poisoned to death by him right after she surrendered.

More importantly, regardless of whether it was Li Yu or Qian Shu, both were poisoned to death on their birthdays..."

When Han Cheng said this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It is no wonder that some people in later generations gave Zhao Guangyi the title of Breaking Bad.

With these two clear records of the last emperor, plus the mysterious Boss Zhao, he really used poison to perfection!

It’s really not unfair to be given the title of Breaking Bad!
breaking Bad?

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard Han Cheng say this.

Then his expression seemed a little different.

People in later generations are really mean-spirited.

Not only did he ruin the God of War and Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, he even gave him the title of Breaking Bad!

But you know what, based on what he did, the title of Breaking Bad really fits him.

"what?
Li Yu and Qian Shu were both poisoned to death?!
And they were all poisoned to death on their birthdays?!"

After Zhao Kuangyin heard what Han Cheng said.

His expression changed again!
If this is true, then what a shameless thing to do!

He has none of the bearing of a founding monarch!

This is really not the way to do it!
Even if you don't want them to live, you should at least cover it up!

How can you do it so blatantly?
Han Cheng looked at Zhao Kuangyin, nodded, and confirmed his words.

Zhao Kuangyin stood here for a long time without saying a word...

After a long while, he calmed down a little and said, "Then... then how did he do after becoming the emperor?"

When he asked this question, what he was thinking was that if his younger brother did a good job after becoming emperor.

Even if he really killed himself, he would still have some comfort in his heart.

But unfortunately, he will be disappointed... (End of this chapter)
