Chapter seven hundred and ninetieth: If you are not my brother

Nanhaizi.

As the weather warms up, strange stones and ancient trees and flowing water in the pavilions can be seen everywhere. The rare birds and animals transported to the capital from all over the place were sent here, adding a lot of vitality.

The gardener raised the soil more than two months ago, and the flowers were blooming, and it was bright everywhere.

Zhu Youxiao occasionally had a good mood today. He issued an edict to King Zhu Youjian to hunt in Nanhaizi, galloping a hundred miles of plains, and only followed a team of cavalrymen in the Yongwei camp. He was in high spirits and rushed out of Xuanwu Gate and headed north to Wansui Mountain.

Zhu Youjian didn't know what the emperor intended, so he had to follow him silently.

The two of them and the imperial guards climbed Wansui Mountain and looked down at their feet. Zhu Youxiao breathed a little, as if he sighed: "The view here is vast, compared to the red walls and yellow tiles in the palace, it is a rare sight."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao glanced at the side of King Xin and smiled:

"Since I succeeded to the throne, I have been busy with political affairs all day long. I haven't seen my younger brother for several years. I heard that my younger brother had a cold a few days ago and went out to get medicine?"

"Today I was shooting at least, but I didn't see my brother coughing and asthma. It seems that the wind and cold have been cured?"

Zhu Youjian was shocked. It seemed that the factory guards were still monitoring him, and every move was within the control of this emperor.

He was furious and gasped, and said calmly: "Because your Majesty is concerned about it, the medicine is organized, and my brother is not seriously injured, otherwise he would not have come by the imperial edict."

"That's good, I'll feel relieved." Zhu Youxiao smiled and pointed at his feet:

"Brother, look, from this, you can see most of the capital stepping under your feet, and even the pedestrians in the streets in the city can be vaguely recognized."

"How could it be like this?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty is saying." Zhu Youjian noticed a strange look. He remembered what Zhu Changqi said that day, and felt a little weak and dared not look up at each other.

Zhu Youxiao seemed to be unaware of anything, only looking at the bustling streets of the capital and the magnificent Forbidden City under his feet, as if he said unintentionally:

"When did my younger brother and I start to be called the minister? How did I even go to the word "brother" in my younger brother? There is no eunuch present today, I just asked you to accompany me to hunt."

"Come on, my brother hunts me." As he said, Zhu Youxiao took out a powerful bow from the soldiers in the Yongwei camp on the side and said with a smile.

Zhu Youjian subconsciously pushed his hand away in disgust, and then became panicked. In a flash, his expression was as usual, as deserted as if he was keeping people from thousands of miles away, and only maintaining the most basic etiquette.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, go back to the palace."

Zhu Youxiao's hand holding the powerful bow paused in the air, stood there, his expression gloomy and clear, and he was embarrassed and returned the powerful bow to the soldiers with a smile:

"My brother refused to accept a mere bow, but he was willing to have a long talk with that Zhu Changqi?"

"Is it possible that the Taoist priest of the Qingchang period was resurrected from the death of the dead? Is there any evil technique that helped my younger brother get rid of wind, cold and dampness, which is more effective than the Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple?"

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he felt a thunder in his mind, and it exploded with a bang.

He entered the palace with the Emperor Changqi as a doctor. In addition, the emperor had not been embarrassed for many years, and he thought he had forgotten him, but he did not expect to be discovered.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian subconsciously looked up, but looked at Zhu Youproof.

In his eyes, Emperor Tianqi's eyes were as deep as an abyss, unable to see or touch his heart, as if he was falling into an ice cave.

Zhu Youjian was frightened by this momentum and couldn't help but tremble and took two steps back.

"Why?"

Zhu Youjian calmed down his chest and said calmly: "Your Majesty knows why, do you have to do this more than that?"

"Haha..." Zhu Youxiao waved and retreated more than ten people. After they retreated a few steps, they took a few steps towards him and said softly:

"Now they can't hear it. I believe in the prince. I treat you very well. If you spend this year honestly, I will consider letting you go."

"But you have disappointed me so much."

Zhu Youjian suddenly raised his head and looked at the Emperor of Apocalypse who seemed to have become another person in this blink of an eye. This person he was once most familiar with had already made him feel a little confused.

"Brother, you have changed."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard that he suddenly changed his name, but he was not in a state of great change. After all, he was not the real Emperor of Apocalypse.

Then, he sneered:

"I haven't changed, it's you who changed. You have been led by the gentlemen of Donglin who open their mouths of benevolence and righteousness and keep their morality in their mouths. They go in the opposite direction and go further and further!"

Zhu Youjian also sneered again and closed his eyes and said:

"Your Majesty summoned me to come today, isn't you just trying to kill me? Is it a crime of disrespect? Please don't affect the innocent."

Zhu Youxiao gradually narrowed his eyes, and even the imperial guards who were a few steps away suddenly turned wrong when they saw the emperor's face.

But without hearing the edict, none of them dared to move, they all looked at King Xin from afar with vigilance.

"When did I affect the innocent? The ones I killed are all those who should be killed, and the ones I implicated are not innocent. They are all their faults and there is no cure for help!"

"Your Majesty really has the face to say it out loud. Is this shameless person from Weichang Public School?" Zhu Youjian could no longer suppress his disgust for the emperor and said loudly:

"Yao Chongwen, Censor Feng Keliang, Fujian Dao Censor Zhou Zongjian, Huguang Dao Censor Li Jiashi, you can just dismiss them from office, but you don't plan to let them go!"

"Yao Chongwen, the military officer, was dismissed from office on the third day after he was dismissed from office, and was assigned to a factory servant in the street and finally died in the East Factory Prison."

"On the fifth day after the Censor Feng Keliang was dismissed from office, he was kicked open the door and entered the room by the factory servant, and caught it on the street in front of his wife and children, and beaten to death."

"Huguang Road Censor Li Jiashi was also locked by a factory servant at home. His brother Li Jiazhong was still preparing for the scientific examination, but he was locked and arrested together. Both of them died in the East Factory Prison."

"The most pitiful thing is the Fujian Dao Censor Zhou Zongjian, who advised him to be loyal, but he lost his official position and was forced to death by the factory servant. He also put his whole family in prison!"

"My Majesty, is this the peaceful and prosperous era under your rule?"

"You are the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five, the common ruler of the world. However, at the foot of the Wansui Mountain, factory labor is rampant and everyone is in panic all day long. Can't you see it?"

Zhu Youjian said so many things in a row, and the veins on his neck burst out, questioning one after another:

"The Censor Liang Menghuan wrote a memorial to impeach Wei Zhongxian's grandson Wei Ximeng for his unlawful behavior, and used the investigation of the Wang Gongchang disaster to disregard human life and collect royal taxes indiscriminately! Have you investigated all these Majesties? Have you asked?"

"No, right? When His Majesty meets a memorial to impeach the eunuch party, he will only keep it and not post it, ignore it, and do nothing, is it a virtue of a ruler?"

Zhu Youxiao has really read Liang Menghuan’s memorials and has also checked them.

As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao's difficulties were naturally much more difficult than others imagined. Wei Ximeng's actions were all instructed by Wei Zhongxian and his own tacit approval.

Those who take human life are slandered and die are the people who accept bribes from civil officials related to factory disasters.

There are also random royal tax collections, which is what Zhu Youxiao himself means. They collect taxes from those big families, those civil officials who are guilty of seeking to lose money and avoid disasters after the disaster.

Zhu Youxiao’s difficulties have never been told to others.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao, now, learned the secret report from the Jiaoshifu last night, actually had no intention of explaining the later Emperor Chongzhen in front of him.

Zhu Youxiao now only had anger at Zhu Youjian's pretentious attitude and his face turned red. He could return to calm down after a while and whisper:

"If you don't have the identity of my younger brother, your fate will only be worse than King Gui and the others. Do you really think I will keep you until now?"
