Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Another morning.

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Highness King Xin, please come this way~"

Wei Zhongxian, who was wearing a scarlet python robe, had a faint smile on his face. Seeing King Xin Zhu Youjian who had been ordered to come to Qianqing Palace, he looked at Dongnuan Pavilion with a little hesitation, lowered his head slightly, and extended his hand to indicate to Zhu Youjian.

"it is good."

Zhu Youjian, who was wearing a yellow brocade robe with four claws and dragon patterns, responded with a smile after hearing what Wei Zhongxian said, and then lifted up the sleeves of his robe and walked forward.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, a big Han general wearing armor and carrying a sword stood everywhere like a sculpture, and his stern face made people feel scared.

Many of the guards in front of the emperor have raw faces.

When walking towards Dongnuan Pavilion, he saw the Han generals on duty. Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, but secretly thought about it. Although the Qianqing Palace now was the same as in his memory, the feeling was different.

It seemed more majestic.

It seemed even stranger.

It was precisely this that made Zhu Youjian inevitably suspicious in his heart. What did his royal brother mean when he suddenly summoned him?

Could it be that something was discovered in the case of Xiyuan falling into the water?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian was a little nervous. Since the last time he came to Qianqing Palace and saw that his royal brother was fine, there have been frequent disturbances in the inner court, and it has even been isolated from the outside of the palace.

Countless members of the Imperial Guard were laid off and replaced.

Countless eunuchs and eunuchs of the inner court were killed by the Western Police.

Especially after the Military War Bureau was severely investigated, a large number of eunuchs and eunuchs were taken to the West Market to skin and fill the grass. Zhu Youjian's companion Wang Chengen was also called to the West Market to watch the execution.

At Zhu Youjian's repeated request, Wang Chengen, who returned from watching the execution, told Zhu Youjian everything he saw and heard. But Zhu Youjian had insomnia that night, and even had nightmares for several nights afterward.

Zhu Youjian didn't know why his royal brother suddenly became so murderous!

"Greetings to the Emperor!"

Following Wei Zhongxian, when he walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, he saw his royal brother sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed near the window, chewing his breakfast slowly. Zhu Youjian hurriedly raised his hands and bowed.

"coming."

Zhu Youxiao held the bowl and chopsticks, glanced at Zhu Youjian who was bowing, and said calmly: "Have you had breakfast? If not, just stay with me."

"I...my brother obeys the order."

Originally, Zhu Youjian wanted to say that he had eaten breakfast, but before he could say anything, he subconsciously replied.

At that time, a eunuch walked in from outside the palace and brought a new pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"His Royal Highness King Xin."

Wei Zhongxian, who was serving in front of the emperor, brought a cushion and laid it out. Then he lowered his head and said to Zhu Youjian. After receiving Wei Zhongxian's signal, Zhu Youjian walked towards the Luohan bed.

"Eat."

Seeing that Zhu Youjian was a little uneasy, Zhu Youxiao didn't say much else. He used chopsticks to signal Zhu Youjian to sit down, then picked up a piece of vegetables and put it into his mouth to chew carefully.

The food in the palace was very exquisite, and Zhu Youxiao ate it with relish.

On the contrary, Zhu Youjian sat down and didn't seem to have much appetite.

In the huge Dongnuan Pavilion, except for some chewing sounds, there were no other sounds. He did not talk when eating or sleeping. Zhu Youjian did this very well.

While it was time to drink tea, Zhu Youxiao put down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, while Wei Zhongxian, who was waiting next to him, hurriedly bent down to pick up the spittoon.

"Wow~"

Zhu Youxiao rinsed his mouth with tea and then spit it into the spittoon.

It was very fast for Zhu Youxiao to have a meal, but for Zhu Youjian, it felt like the days were like years.

"No appetite?"

Zhu Youxiao took a sip of tea, looked at Zhu Youjian who was sitting opposite him and said.

"Brother Emperor, I'm not particularly hungry."

Zhu Youjian quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks and bowed his head slightly.

"You still need to eat more."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and put down the tea cup he was carrying, "It's the time when you are growing up. Eat well and eat well. This is the most important thing."

"Yes."

Zhu Youjian hurriedly replied: "Brother Chen, I have remembered it."

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Seeing Zhu Youjian like this, Zhu Youxiao knew it well, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he showed a faint smile and looked at Zhu Youjian.

"I don't know, brother."

Zhu Youjian shook his head and said.

"Come with me to see the good show."

Zhu Youxiao said calmly.

Good show?

Now Zhu Youjian was confused.

What a show?

"Since I returned to the palace from Xiyuan, the time has not been short."

Zhu Youxiao said: "I have been waiting for someone to come to see me and want to hear what she has to say to me, but until now, I haven't waited for her."

she he?

Zhu Youjian was even more confused now.

"Forget it, since she won't come, then I'll invite her to come."

With that said, Zhu Youxiao got up from the Luohan bed, turned around and walked towards the throne, stretched out his hand and said to Zhu Youjian: "Brother Huang, go and sit over there."

"My brother obeys the order."

Zhu Youjian hurriedly got up from the Luohan bed, and then, under the guidance of Wei Zhongxian, walked towards the screen on the side. Behind the screen, there were brocade stools and small tables.

Who could it be?

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian had more doubts in his heart.

Zhu Youxiao, who lifted his robe and sat down, glanced at Zhu Youjian's figure, with a faint smile on his lips. It seemed that there was not much family affection in the royal family, but only awe.

In his memory, Emperor Tianqi was very concerned about his half-brother, but Zhu Youjian did not dare to show too much intimacy in front of Emperor Tianqi due to etiquette and patriarchal rules.

Maybe this is Tianjia.

Family love is too luxurious in Tianjia.

But for Zhu Youxiao, even if he doesn't have much special feelings for Zhu Youjian, there are some things that he doesn't want to develop according to the original timeline.

Zhu Youjian, the great Mingxin King, is destined to take a different path.

Otherwise, even if Zhu Youjian has no other thoughts in his heart, there is no guarantee that the people gathered around him will not have other thoughts.

Zhu Youxiao must kill any factors that threaten the imperial power!

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu is here."

At this time, Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch of Qianqing Palace, walked into Dongnuan Pavilion with his head lowered and bowed to the emperor.

"Xuan."

Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke concisely and concisely.

"The slaves obey the order."

And as Liu Ruoyu's voice sounded, Zhu Youjian, who was sitting behind the screen, couldn't help but be shocked. Is it Concubine Liu that his royal brother wanted to see?

Could it be that Concubine Liu was the instigator of the case of Xiyuan falling into the water?

This is impossible!

Zhu Youjian was surprised and had a look of disbelief on his face. In his impression, Mrs. Liu was living in the harem without any competition.

In fact, Zhu Youjian was not the only one who was surprised. Wei Zhongxian, who was standing behind the screen, was also very surprised. He didn't know why his prince wanted to see Concubine Liu?

What exactly is going on?

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Under the surprised gazes of the two people, the summoned Concubine Liu walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion. After seeing the emperor sitting on the throne, she calmly performed the Wanfu salute.

"There is no need to be polite, Princess."

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao showed a faint smile, stretched out his hand and said to Concubine Liu in front of him, and then looked at Liu Ruoyu: "Give Concubine a seat and serve tea."

"I kowtow to thank God for his kindness."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

The atmosphere in Dongnuan Pavilion seemed to have become a little subtle. Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushions and looked at Concubine Liu, the concubine of his imperial grandfather, standing in front of him. But at this moment, the queen appeared in Zhu Youxiao's mind. Zhang Yan's appearance, everything must come to an end...
