People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

Chapter 275

Under the leadership of Wei Zhongxian, Wu Yu soon came to Kunning Palace and met Zhang Yan, the Empress Yi'an, who was known as one of the five great queens in history.

"It's my fifth brother, come and tell my sister-in-law how you have been living outside these years, and whether you have suffered!"

As soon as Wei Zhongxian left, Zhang Yan immediately stepped forward and held him to ask about his well-being.

"Your humble servant greets my sister-in-law!"

Wu Yu still admired Zhang Yan very much. In history, it was she who overcame all objections when Zhu Youxiao was seriously ill and let Prince Xin Zhu Youjian inherit the throne.

Although the Ming Dynasty was eventually destroyed, under the circumstances at that time, not to mention Zhu Youjian, who had never been taught the art of emperorship, even if Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang came, it might not work, unless he was willing to tear down the Ming Dynasty and rebuild it.

However, such a kind woman as Zhang Yan not only became a widow at the best age, but also had no sons or daughters. In the end, when Li Zicheng was about to attack the Forbidden City, she chose to be buried with the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Zhang Yan's enthusiasm, Wu Yu was not polite and immediately told her everything about how she was abducted to Dasui Kingdom and how she returned to Daming later. Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, especially when she heard the key points, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with both hands to prevent herself from exclaiming. After listening to the story, she wiped away tears with heartache.

But it's not surprising. After all, people in this era pay attention to the eldest sister-in-law as the mother. Especially after knowing that this emperor's brother had lost his mother since childhood, she completely brought herself into this role, which made Wu Yu embarrassed for a while. Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao's arrival at the critical moment saved him.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhu Youxiao coming, Queen Zhang Yan and a group of palace maids quickly stood up and saluted.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then said to Zhang Yan: "Queen, you go down first. I have something to say to my fifth brother!"

"I'll take my leave!"

Hearing that the two brothers had important things to discuss, Zhang Yan led the palace maids to retreat tactfully.

"You also retreat!"

After Zhang Yan retreated, Zhu Youxiao instructed the guards who followed him secretly.

As Zhu Youxiao spoke again, the guards who secretly protected him also retreated one after another. After confirming that there was no one around, Zhu Youxiao said, "I guess you have already met that Senior Wu!"

Wu Yu nodded. It can be said that if Wu Wudi had not suddenly appeared at the last moment of the dragon slaying, I am afraid that none of them would have escaped.

Although Wu Yu could barely avoid being caught by Emperor Shitian with the help of Wuqiu Yi Jue and Qi Wu Juejing, if he continued to stalemate, I am afraid that it would not take long for his true energy to be exhausted, and then he would be meat on Emperor Shitian's chopping board.

What Wu Yu did not expect was that Wu Wudi would actually be a tribute to the Ming royal family, and he would also follow him secretly to protect him.

However, when it comes to following in secret, Wu Yu thought of Bai Suzhen again. He had gone through so much trouble to find her for shelter, but she had always been by his side, and he never knew it.

If it weren't for the fight for Dragon Yuan this time, I'm afraid she would have continued to follow him, and then he would have no secrets at all. It's scary to think about it.

Also, if he had known about Wu Wudi's existence earlier, why would he need to go to the trouble of looking for Bai Suzhen and Xiaoyaozi? Wouldn't it be better to just cling to this big guy's thigh?

Back to the point, seeing Wu Yu nod, Zhu Youxiao continued: "Then you should also know my situation. I am suffering from the backlash of national destiny, and no medicine can cure it."

Zhu Youxiao called himself "I" instead of "Zhen", which means that he was not talking to Wu Yu as a monarch and a minister, but as a brother.

Wu Yu nodded again, because Wu Wudi also told him that even Dragon Yuan, a treasure of heaven and earth, could not save his brother, which he didn't expect at the beginning.

"In fact, it's not hopeless. According to Senior Wu, as long as I step down from the throne, the backlash of national destiny will be eliminated, and I can recover my health by then."

"So what do you want to say?"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao didn't get to the point after talking for a long time, Wu Yu simply asked him what he meant by letting him enter the palace this time.

"So I hope you can take over the throne as soon as possible, so that I can recover from my illness with peace of mind, and you don't need to worry about being deprived of the throne in the future like Emperor Yingzong."

Well, now Wu Yu knew what Zhu Youxiao meant. It was nothing more than that he didn't want to continue to be the emperor. He wanted to retire early to heal his body, and then concentrate on doing his favorite carpentry work.

And what he said later that after his body recovered, he would not take back his throne like Yingzong. Wu Yu believed this. After all, compared to being an emperor, the emperor in front of him preferred to be a carpenter, and he had even reached the point of obsession.step, and if there really is such a day, Wu Yu is also fully confident that he can control the court.

As for the Yingzong mentioned by the other party, in Wu Yu's opinion, he should actually be called Baozong. After all, among so many emperors in ancient and modern times, no one can do what he did. It can even be said that any person would not do such a bad thing.

However, in the face of Zhu Youxiao's sincerity, Wu Yu did not appreciate it at all.

Are you kidding? If you don't want to be the emperor, do you want to be the emperor yourself? There is no brother like you, leaving such a big mess to your younger brother, and faking your death to get out and do what you like.

Although according to Zhu Youxiao's current situation, the emperor will still be his turn in a year at most, but no matter what, he can delay it for one day, and he hasn't been free and easy yet. How could he tie himself to that position early? He is not stupid.

Besides, the emperor thing is not something that can be done casually. If you do it well, it is your duty. If you don't do it well, everyone in the world will poke your spine.

Just like Zhu Youxiao in front of him, he didn't know how much he had been scolded. If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian in front of him, Wu Yu doubted whether he would be directly angry to death.

As for Chongzhen in history, because he had no one to take the blame, he went down to fight with his ministers, and finally everyone vented their anger on him.

Seeing Wu Yu reject him without hesitation, Zhu Youxiao also realized that his fifth brother didn't seem to be so easy to fool.

So he simply played the emotional card, "Fifth brother, I know you are blaming me for giving you such a mess, which is indeed my fault.

But you also know that I have indeed tried my best, but I am really not cut out to be an emperor. In these years in this position, the situation of the Ming Dynasty has been getting worse day by day, and now there are signs of the country's demise.

And I really don't know how to make changes, so I can only choose to hand over this mess to you in advance. I hope you can take over this burden for the sake of our ancestors of the Zhu family and the millions of people in the Ming Dynasty."

Wu Yu "..."

Well, if seduction fails, you can just turn to moral kidnapping, just like the sentence in the previous life, you don't want to do this or that, right?
