Chapter 1 Am I going to be the worst prince?(1/2)
April 25, the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Nanjing City.
Snow falls in April, and a sad atmosphere envelopes the Prince's Mansion.
Each servant walked in a hurry and looked sad.
The world in front of Zhu Yunzhen gradually became clear from blur.
He found himself in a gorgeous room.
"Am I traveling through time?"
Zhu Yunzhen rubbed his groggy head and murmured to himself.
I lowered my head in disbelief, and what I saw was a pair of small hands of a seven or eight-year-old child.
"What...what happened? Time traveled and became a child?"
There was a buzz in Zhu Yunzhen's head, and he took three steps and two steps at a time, to the bronze mirror beside the runway.
"This is me?"
Zhu Yunzhen looked at the mirror in disbelief.
In the mirror is a little boy of seven or eight years old, dressed in Chinese clothes.
Healthy and white, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.
Although he is not very old, there is a hint of kingly aura between his eyebrows that only those in high positions can possess.
"This is...ah!"
Zhu Yunxuan suddenly felt an unusual headache, and then an overwhelming memory came over him.
After a long while, Zhu Yunzhen finally understood when he looked at himself in the mirror.
He really traveled to the Ming Dynasty.
It is now the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu.
And his identity is Zhu Yunzhen, the fourth son of Prince Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty.
This year, he was seven years old.
"Wait a minute, the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu..." Zhu Yunxi suddenly seemed to remember something.
"In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, April 25th...isn't it the day when Prince Zhu Biao died?"
Prince Zhu Biao fell ill not long ago and his health is getting worse...
And today...
This thought had just come to an end, and without giving him much time to think, there was a sound of the door being pushed behind him.
Zhu Yunzhen turned around, and saw a servant with a sad face, holding back his tears, kneeling on the ground and saying: "Young Master...His Royal Highness, he...has been buried!"
Goosebumps suddenly appeared on Zhu Yunzhen's body.
Is this the beginning?
Zhu Yunzhen had just traveled through time, so naturally he didn’t have much trouble with the death of Mr. Cheap.
But to avoid arousing suspicion, he still pretended to be shocked and said: "Bold, you, if you dare to talk nonsense, be careful I will ask my father to chop off your head!"
Zhu Yunxuan recalled the children who had lost their loved ones he had seen in his previous life.
He deliberately frowned, letting tears well up in his eyes, making himself look really sad and unbearable.
Although it is impossible for anyone to find out about time travel.
But if you behave abnormally, you may receive some not-so-good "special treatment" in feudal society.
He has just come to this world, he cannot understand the situation and cannot mess around.
"Sir, I didn't lie!" The servant cried: "His Royal Highness is indeed buried in the front hall!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunzhen ignored the servants and immediately ran towards the front hall.
"It's going to be chaos now!"
To say that Zhu Yunzhen is not nervous would be a lie.
In April of the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Biao died of illness.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang established Zhu Biao's second son Zhu Yunwen as the crown prince.
Six years later, Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness.
Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and was named Jianwen.
In the fourth year of Jianwen's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, King of Yan Zhu Di, rebelled and invaded Nanjing. Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts are unknown.
Zhu Yunxian was also demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in Fengyang.
Since then, he has spent his whole life in captivity.
Tragic!
Tragic!
Tragic!
I thought that if I traveled through time and became a prince, I would be able to live a good life for a few days, but I didn't expect that it would be much worse than ordinary people.
"No, no, I absolutely cannot let this happen. I want to change..."
Zhu Yunxuan murmured to himself.
As a time traveler, he knows the development of all things.
However, it is not easy to forcefully change the trajectory of history.
What's more, he is only a seven-year-old child now.
Now that Zhu Biao is dead, the seeds of the Battle of Jingnan have been planted.
Germination is just a matter of time.
"We must do something before anything happens!"
Zhu Yunxuan said silently.
After traveling through time, he doesn't want to be demoted to a commoner, nor does he want to abandon his wealth and wealth and spend his whole life in captivity.
"We cannot let Zhu Yunwen become the prince!"
This idea suddenly came to Zhu Yunzhen's mind.
Zhu Yunwen is a guy who can't support the wall. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang named him the prince was largely due to his feelings for Zhu Biao.
If he is allowed to inherit the throne as the prince, he will not be able to control the officials at all, and he will not be able to intimidate the vassal king. Sooner or later, Xiao Qiang will be in trouble.
Then, fight for yourself?
No!
Zhu Yunxuan quickly rejected this idea.
First of all, he is only seven years old now and has no power. How can he fight with others?
Secondly, on identity?
The eldest brother Zhu Xiongying died of illness at the age of eight, and the second brother Zhu Yunwen is the eldest.
Not to mention that there is also the third brother Zhu Yunxi, who was born to the concubine Chang.
Since ancient times, it has been the practice of standing up the virtuous rather than establishing the virtuous.
Even if he could fight against Zhu Yunwen from the Prince's Palace, how could he fight against those Zhu Yunwen or those supporters of rules in the court?
Even if everything is solved, how can he fight against Yan King Zhu Di?
I can't fight at all.
If Zhu Yunxuan was an adult now, he might give it a try.
But a seven-year-old child...
It’s better to hide one’s strength and bide one’s time.
Besides, being the emperor of Ming Dynasty is very tiring.
Thousands of miles of country, huge responsibilities.
I work hard every day and night, reviewing memorials, and fighting wits and courage with ministers.
Where can the idle prince be comfortable?
Lying flat is the most beautiful pursuit in life!
A snowflake fell on his cheek, and the cool feeling made Zhu Yunxuan wake up a little.
"If you want to change your destiny, the best way at present is to make King Yan the prince!"
As soon as this idea came up, it spread to every corner of my heart like a creeper.
To be continued...
