The clan mansion is like a solid island, standing in the twists and turns of the undercurrent of power.
This is a clan prison with high walls and deep locks.
Zhu Yunwen was restrained between this cold stone wall.
The former grandson of the Ming Dynasty had no trace of his grace, and his figure was like a withered willow branch, swaying in the cold wind. The once handsome face was now filled with vicissitudes of life, and his eyes revealed deep despair.
He sat on the cold stone slab, staring blankly ahead. The surrounding stone walls seemed to be exerting invisible pressure on him.
His thoughts were tangled together like a tangle. He recalled those glorious moments of self-righteousness and how ridiculous his self-righteousness was.
The reality cruelly knocked him down from his high position. He could not accept such a result, and his heart was filled with endless regret and pain.
Every day and night in the Zongren Mansion, Zhu Yunwen endured mental torture. His eyes lost their former glory, leaving only endless darkness.
His life has become meaningless. He is just waiting for the passage of time every day. His heart has been filled with decadence and despair, and there is no longer any light of hope to shine in.
“Yunwen.”A voice came
“Father?”Zhu Yunwen was shocked.
He lowered his head. He did not expect that his father would come to see him. He was too embarrassed to see his father.
Zhu Biao looked at his son and sighed softly:”Yunwen, your grandpa abdicated the throne, and I have ascended the throne.”
Zhu Yunwen was shocked.
His father ascended the throne so quickly? Didn’t he resign as the crown prince? Didn’t Grandpa Huang have been training his fourth uncle?
How is this possible?
“You are too impatient. Zhu Biao shook his head with a complex expression,”I ascend the throne, and you should be the one to ascend the throne in the future, because the hero is determined to become an immortal.” People don’t care about what you pursue with all your heart.”
Zhu Yunwen frowned, forming a deep”Chuan”. The corners of his eyes drooped, his lips were tightly closed, and the corners of his mouth were turned down, showing an unspeakable bitterness and helplessness.
His hands were clenched into fists, and his nails were deeply dug. embedded in the palm of the hand
“Father, can you let your mother and concubine go?”Zhu Yunwen asked
“That is the Supreme Emperor’s will. Zhu Biao said,”If you let the Lu family go, many Lu families will rise up in rebellion in the future.””
“They are all for me.”Zhu Yunwen said in a deep voice
“No!”Zhu Biao stared at Zhu Yunwen,”You still don’t understand, they are just for themselves.
Zhu Yunwen shed tears and stopped talking.
Zhu Biao said calmly:”You can stay in this sect’s house. I will order them to be nice to you.” After saying that
, he turned around and left.
When he reached the door, Zhu Biao stopped and said,”The Lu family’s case has been tried and will be executed next month.””
After that, he strode away.
Zhu Yunwen stood there blankly, silent for a long time.
……
Tianji Tower.
Zhu Shizhen and Zhang Sanfeng sit and drink tea
“Lao Zhang, I thought about it, the Kunlun Secret Realm is about to open, and we need to make some preparations.” Zhu Shizhen said in a deep voice,”I want to set up a formation around Kunlun. When the secret realm is opened in the future, the demons coming out of the secret realm can be blocked by the formation, at least partially.”
“This is good!”Zhang Sanfeng’s eyes lit up instantly,”Otherwise, if the demon enters the Central Plains, all living beings will be devastated.”
“I am recently comprehending the Ten Jue Formations.”Zhu Shizhen frowned,”I will order the weapon refining room to build more anti-rune battleships, and cooperate with the Ten Jue Formation. At least they can block most of the demons.”
“Great, what do you need me to do? Pindao cooperated fully.”Zhang Sanfeng said firmly.
“You first improve your cultivation. Then ten masters will be needed to preside over the Ten Jue Formation. Zhu Shizhen frowned,”I will make magic weapons for everyone.””
“Need ten masters? Zhang Sanfeng frowned,”At least it must be above the realm of divine transformation, right?” Hard to find”
“You have to find it too!”Zhu Shizhen raised his hand,”When the spiritual energy is revived, I believe there will be amazing and talented people. If it doesn’t work, we Zhu family will all come.””
“You still have to guard the capital. Zhang Sanfeng said,”The capital is where the destiny of the Ming Dynasty lies. It must not be broken.””
“Yes, the Ten Jue Formation is the first line of defense, and the capital is the best line of defense. Zhu Shizhen smiled bitterly,”If the capital is destroyed, it will be all over.””
“Pindao will go out to search tomorrow, hoping to find a few masters.”Zhang Sanfeng said
“Well, that’s fine.”Zhu Shizhen nodded,”I also sent people to Japan to send a message and called Tamamo Mae. She has two dragon essences. She should be able to break through now, right?”
“It’s time for Pindao to eat his last dragon essence.”Zhang Sanfeng’s eyes were sharp.
Zhu Shizhen nodded with a smile. He knew that Zhang Sanfeng had been practicing hard during this period and had already reached a breakthrough. It was just that he wanted to accumulate a lot of experience.
……
Zhang Sanfeng just left, Zhu Biao came
“grandfather.”He bowed respectfully to Zhu Shizhen
“Although you have become the emperor, you cannot stop practicing every day.”Zhu Shizhen explained
“No, I practice every morning. Zhu Biao said with a smile,”I still want to live longer and do more things for Ming Dynasty.””
“Your current state is enough to survive for at least several hundred years. Zhu Shizhen glared,”But in the Ming Dynasty, how can you only live for a few hundred years?””
“My grandson will follow your instructions.”Zhu Biao nodded.
“I came to see you today to discuss something.” Zhu Shizhen said,”I need the court’s support for the weapon refining room. The demon is coming to the world soon. The weapon refining room needs to build more magic weapons, rune battleships, rune cannons, etc.”
“Full support. Zhu Biao nodded,”Now our Ming Dynasty has money, and we can mobilize resources from the East, Nanyang, and the West.””
“very good.”Zhu Shizhen waved his hand,”Later, you call the people from the refining room to Wenhua Hall. We will discuss it carefully and make a detailed list. According to the preparation,”
“yes. Zhu Biao obeyed.
Zhu Shizhen took a sip of tea slowly, raised his eyes and asked,”Your father hasn’t come back yet?””
“He had fun with his fourth child.”
Zhu Biao smiled helplessly, handed a piece of information in his hand to Zhu Shizhen and said,”The fourth child is now the Great Khan of the grassland, or the Khan of Heaven.”
“Hey, this kid, wants to compete with you?”Zhu Shizhen hurriedly scanned
“He dares! Zhu Biao smiled,”However, the fourth child is indeed born to be a commander.””
“When you mentioned this, I remembered that we need to form an army of practitioners and provide them with runes, armor, and magic weapons.”Zhu Shizhen kept thinking in his mind.
If there is an army of cultivators, it can be placed outside Kunlun on the one hand. When the time comes, with the cooperation of the Ten Jue Formations, plus the rune battleships, the combat power will be absolutely amazing.
There is also a need to deploy defenses in the capital.
“Grandpa, everything will be done as you say. The court and I will fully cooperate. Zhu Biao said.
The two continued to discuss.
……
Zhu Biao came out of Tianji Tower and did not go back to the palace directly.
He came to Yingtian Mansion.
As the territory of the Ming Dynasty continued to expand, more and more foreigners came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Biao came to check Yingtian Mansion’s response and gave some explanations.
He was incognito, and the guards outside the mansion didn’t recognize him at all.
However, the guards did not stop him because there were many people coming and going, all coming to Yingtian Mansion for business.
Zhu Biao entered the government office and saw guards guiding him, such as where to go to apply for household registration, where to go to file complaints, etc.
The Ouchi guard who followed Zhu Biao used his token to take Zhu Biao directly to the back hall.
The back hall is the place where Lord Yin of Yingtian Mansion rests.
Entering the door, Mr. Yin of Yingtian Mansion, who was not looking, saw a woman in white sitting at the desk reading a book.
“Who are you looking for? asked the woman in white
“Oh, come and see Mr. Lu, the prefect, I am his colleague.”Zhu Biao smiled.
His eyes fell on the woman in front of him and he was amazed.
The woman was wearing a long dress. She was very beautiful. She had a perfect oval face, slender eyebrows, fair complexion, beautiful posture, and dignified temperament.
“Oh, my dad is meeting guests, please wait here.”The woman in white said. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
“It turns out to be Mr. Lu’s daughter.”Zhu Biao smiled.
He sat down on the chair and saw the unfinished chess pieces on the table in front of him.
The woman in white was also secretly observing Zhu Biao. She felt that this person must have a good background and exuded a sense of uniqueness. Come with noble temperament
“Have you studied chess? asked the woman in white
“I learned it then, these two people playing chess are extraordinary.” Zhu Biao said[]
He had learned chess from Song Lian and Liu Bowen, so his chess skills were naturally not weak.
The woman in white became interested, sat down opposite him, and smiled:”How about we continue this mess?”
“The girl also knows how to play chess?”
Brilliance flashed in Zhu Biao’s eyes, and he raised his hand,”Then let’s have a chat with the girl.”
So, the two began to play.
Soon, they both realized that the other party was a master of chess.
Zhu Biao was secretly shocked that a woman’s chess skills were so strong.
The woman in white was equally surprised. She had loved playing chess since she was a child. I once studied with a famous teacher, and I have always been invincible. Today I met my opponent.
……
“Xiaowan, I’m so thirsty, please make me some tea.”
A man strode in. When he saw Zhu Biao, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
The woman in white was stunned:”Dad, why did you kneel down?
The man was the newly arrived Yin Lu Qiantang of Yingtian Prefecture. He bowed to Zhu Biao and said,”I, Lu Qiantang, pay my respects to Your Majesty.””
“His Majesty?”The woman suddenly stood up
“Xiaowan, you still don’t kneel down to worship the Holy One.” Lu Qiantang said anxiously.
After the woman in white reacted, she quickly knelt down and said,”My daughter, Lu Xiaowan, pays homage to Your Majesty and asks Your Majesty to forgive me. Just now, I did not know the beauty of the sky and offended Your Majesty.”
“Everybody get up. Zhu Biao raised his hand,”What’s the offense? I’m very happy, but it’s a pity that I haven’t decided the winner with Miss Xiaowan yet.””
“Your Majesty is willing, and I will accompany you at any time. Lu Xiaowan blurted out.
After saying that, she lowered her head shyly.
Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to pull her arm and pulled her up:”Okay, I also hope to play chess with Miss Xiaowan again in the future.””
Lu Qiantang was stunned.
Damn, am I going to get lucky?
“Mr. Lu, please get up too. Zhu Biao said,”I’m here this time to see how your Yingtian Mansion is doing. It’s very good.””
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”Lu Qiantang said,”This is what I should have done.”
“Come, please tell me in detail.”Zhu Biao said.
Lu Qiantang started to speak.
Lu Xiaowan was serving tea on the side and looked at Zhu Biao from time to time.
……
Zhu Biao came back from Yingtian Mansion and came directly to Kunning Palace to find Queen Ma.
“Mother, you have to help me. Zhu Biao’s eyes were full of peach blossoms,”I have fallen in love with a woman, and I want to make her my queen.””
Emperor Ma was shocked after 187.
Because Zhu Biao has never had a concubine since Chang’s death. Before, there were only Lu and Ning in the East Palace. Now Lu is in prison, and only Ning is left. Ning. She was a foreigner and could not be crowned empress of the Ming Dynasty.
Empress Ma had been worrying about setting up a queen for Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao had never been in a hurry and took the initiative to make her a queen.
“Which girl did you fall in love with?”Queen Ma asked
“The daughter of Yin Lu Qiantang of Yingtian Mansion is called Lu Xiaowan. Zhu Biao said,”We happened to meet each other today, and we get along very well with each other.””
He fell in love at first sight.
Queen Ma said with a smile,”Okay, then the Queen Mother will arrange it for you.”
Becoming an empress is not a trivial matter, and she must investigate it clearly.
Ten days later,
Zhu Yuanzhang happened to come back from Mobei.
Empress Ma pulled him and said:”Chongba, I have found a wife for Biao’er, and she can be established as the Empress of the Ming Dynasty.”
“Whose girl?”Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise
“I have investigated the daughter of Yin Lu Qiantang of Yingtian Prefecture, and her family background is innocent. The daughter of the Lu family is well-educated and sensible, and she is a perfect match for Biao’er.”Queen Ma said,”And this was Biao’er’s request. He happened to have met Miss Lu once.”
“Another surname is Lu?”Zhu Yuanzhang frowned
“It has nothing to do with Lu Ben.”Queen Ma said
“Biao’er likes it and you agree with it, so that’s no problem for us. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed,”Besides, Biao’er really needs a wife.””
……
Soon, the emperor got married.
For Ming Dynasty, this was a great joy, and the whole country rejoiced.
Prison Department of Punishment.
The food for the prisoners here has improved today.
Lu, who was alone in a cell, saw the sumptuous meal, and despair flashed in her eyes:”Is it time?”
Because according to the time, she was going to be beheaded.
“No.”
The female jailer guarding her said,”You are lucky. Today is the emperor’s wedding. I won’t kill you this month. I will execute your family again after autumn.”
“The emperor’s wedding?”Mr. Lu was surprised.
“The new emperor got married, that is, the former Crown Prince, he got married and established a queen.”The female jailer said.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu’s body trembled violently, and her eyes stared blankly ahead, as if she was looking through the prison wall, imagining the glorious moment that originally belonged to her.
Deep regret flashed in her eyes, which was a kind of pain. Full of regret, she remembered her ridiculous ambitions and those stupid decisions that cost her the chance to become queen.
She lowered her head, letting her long hair cover her face, her shoulders slumped. The person seemed to have lost her support. Her hands weakly let go of the iron bars and fell to the ground.
