emperor becomes prince

Nanhai Yingtai, also known as Qiaotai, was first built in the Ming Dynasty and was built twice during the Shunzhi and Kangxi years of the Qing Dynasty. It was a summer resort and sightseeing place for emperors and concubines.Because it faces water on three sides and is lined with pavilions and pavilions, it looks like a fairy island in the sea, so it is named Yingtai.

100 years later, Yingtai will still be the summer resort of the royal family; 180 years later, Yingtai will be the place where the reformation dream was broken, and the prison of Emperor Guangxu for the rest of his life; more than 240 years later, Yingtai will be a group of people named Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, etc. The temporary residence of the self-proclaimed □person.

Zhu Di stopped on the city gate, looking at the carriage rumbling away, his thoughts wandered uncontrollably.

But, no matter what, now, it just became another emperor's cage early.

Using the cage this time may not be accurate, because compared to Guangxu who was detained here, Kangxi obviously has great autonomy. He can control his own time at will, and he does not have to be under surveillance all the time. He can set foot on the island at will. Every corner of the city, and even occasionally, if he wished, he could walk the streets accompanied by soldiers; however, there is no better word than prison cage to describe Kangxi's current situation. and leave.

Many of the guards in charge of guarding Kangxi were newly promoted by Zhu Di. They thought they would be difficult to serve, but now Kangxi is very quiet. Will also walk in a small area, in addition to that, nothing else.

Thinking of the new emperor's order "If he wants to know anything, just tell him what you know; if he doesn't ask anything, then you can't say anything", the head of the guards was puzzled again: What is the emperor's attitude towards the emperor?

If it's respect and love, why would he be expelled from the palace and put in custody here; if it's hatred, why not take a chance and make him return to Jiuyou?Even if his life could not be saved in order to stop the mouths of all living beings in the world, why order them to treat this person with such a respectful attitude?Even let him enjoy the best treatment he can do in terms of food and clothing?

Forget it, the king's heart has never been something they can guess.

Looking at the sky covered by dark clouds like graffiti all over his eyes, he felt a sense of oppression in the increasingly hot air, he shook his head violently, and opened his voice to order: "Change shift!"

A group of guards who were already exhausted felt relieved, they all shrugged their shoulders happily, and went to eat together.Another group of guards in the same uniform quietly filled the vacancy left by them, sticking to their posts like a century.

"Rafting on the sea, the Supreme Emperor is really in a good mood!"

This is a very simple boat, Kangxi is sitting on the boat at the moment, with the oar in one hand, while rowing the boat slowly, the movements are a little unfamiliar.

"It's you?"

Hearing the sneer at first, Kangxi's subordinates paused, looked sideways, met the interesting gaze of the visitor, then turned away, and sneered, "Hmph, I underestimated you! Now, you still have The force that can bypass 'that person' has invaded here!"

"I hope you call it 'perseverance'. In order to resist the tyrant, we had to risk being discovered and came to this island to ask the Supreme Emperor to return to the court again and uphold justice!——You will not disagree Do you know how cruel the new emperor's methods are?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid, you came here just to let me be used by you, right? Why make so many high-sounding excuses!"

Kangxi paddled the boat to the opposite bank from the person who came, his back paused suddenly, and he seemed to think of something and said: "Yinyi, I never regret removing your family name. That's because I thought you You are greedy for profit, and you have no brotherhood. But now, it seems that I still haven't completely seen you through. Now, what is the purpose of you coming here?"

He didn't believe that when this person came to this island, Zhu Di, who was far away in the Forbidden City, would know nothing about it.They are all people with a strong desire to control, so Kangxi understands that even the movements on a small island cannot escape Zhu Di's eyes and ears.

What he is concerned about now is not why Zhu Di allowed him to come here, but, what exactly is this person going to do?

Things beyond his control or even his expectations made him uncomfortable.

"Guess, my lord, use your cunning mind."

A sneer crossed the visitor's lips, and his eyes became more cloudy.

Zhu Di's life has not been easy in recent days. It can be said that there are places where he shows up in public, followed by sharp curse words, faintly mixed with personal attacks.

Zhu Di also turned calm from the initial rage. After all, who wasn't scolded like this by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?As strong as Zhu Di and his father, it's just that they are less scolded face to face.

In the Ming Dynasty, all officials who were "loyal to the emperor and patriotic" always had to scold a few words to show that they were "concerned about the country and the people". Remonstrance", the rulers also expressed their understanding of this.So as long as you don't violate their taboo, you can just turn a blind eye and close your eyes.

What makes Zhu Di quite troublesome is his brothers now.

Being in the capital city, their influence has penetrated everywhere, and there is no geographical restriction. They are a few shining time bombs around them.

For these brothers who are still on the sidelines, Zhu Di knew in his heart that if he couldn't win them over, he could only cut off their wings all at once, otherwise, he would not want to try because of the backlash.

If possible, he would find a reason to kill or imprison them all.Although violence is not the only way to gain power, it is the quickest way.

Zhu Di looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and there was a murderous intent in his dark eyes.

He looked at the "self" in the mirror and said silently, the hidden threat was to be strangled in the cradle.

Yinyi's defection was unexpected but reasonable, but his joining the "Anti-New Emperor Alliance" undoubtedly further intensified the contradictions and conflicts among the members of the royal family.

Prince Yinreng was originally not very popular in the clan, but even if Zhu Di deliberately wooed him, there were only a few people who were willing to stand on the side of the princelings and support him.

Now, he is almost facing the accusation of the entire royal family!

When civil servants were unable to do the job of swearing, the royal family took the initiative to take over the burden. They scolded more freely and boldly, without many scruples, and they knew enough about the former prince and today's new emperor, but The places to attack have increased a lot.

What really annoyed Zhu Di was not how badly they scolded them, but this embattled situation.If they are kept, they will definitely be a major hidden danger in the future, and in the face of such a major event as reform, as long as there is a little hindrance, it will be enough to lead to the end of all defeats!

It is also impossible to kill them all.

Although Zhu Di was Zhu Yuanzhang's parent and son, and he was unambiguous about killing people, he did not have the consciousness to implicate tens of thousands of officials in a bloody murder like his father's.

"Grandfather, the matter you told me has been done." Zhu Zhanji knocked on the door lightly and walked in slowly, and saw Zhu Di rubbing his temple with one hand, his face seemed tired.

"It's hard for you child to connect so many clearing missions. But, you need to know that this is an extraordinary period." Zhu Di said plainly.

"Ah, I understand." Zhu Zhanji stepped forward, facing Zhu Di who was full of hostility, and finally stretched out his hand to support him, and a word so low that it looked like a whisper floated gently in the air.

"Hey, grandpa, I will always stand by your side, even if... I am against the whole world..."
