After he spoke to stop Hu Dakui from killing Yuan Zhen, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yuan Zhen coldly and said, "Sir, you are so rude and wanton. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Since ancient times, the only option is death. I am no more than an ordinary Confucian scholar. How can I not be afraid of death?"

Yuan Zhen said calmly: "Of course, before death and integrity, Yu would rather choose to die."

"The ancients said that you should sacrifice your life for righteousness. Although I dare not compare with the saints, I still have my own persistence."

Yongle Emperor Zhu Di asked him to send him as an envoy to the Taiwu Dynasty just to die. Didn't Yuan Zhen know this?

As a smart man, Yuan Zhen would not be unaware of how annoying his bad mouth is.

But he still came without hesitation, and showed no restraint. As soon as he came, he angered Zhu Houzhao and all the civil and military officials. Everyone wanted to kill him and then be quick.

And the reason why he is so bold is ultimately due to his personality. He is used to trolling people everywhere. If he is asked to speak in a low voice, he really can't do it.

Zhu Di wanted him to die, but he was very cooperative and wanted to die crazily. It seemed that he couldn't wait to visit the underworld.

"integrity!"

Zhu Houzhao had to admit that he was disgusted by Yuan Zhen. He had not seen such hypocrisy in many years.

"Sir, please!"

Yuan Zhen's precise words completely angered Zhu Houzhao.

Especially Yuan Zhen's look of honoring even death reminded him inexplicably of Fang Xiaoru.

In this way, even if Yuan Zhen dies, his death will be worthwhile and meaningful. He should have a place in the history books.

Zhu Houzhao looked directly at Yuan Zhen with cold eyes.

Before Zhu Di killed Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xiaoru said: "It is the scholar Fang Xiaoru who will be famous throughout the ages, and the traitor Zhu Di who will be infamous for thousands of years."

He appears to be a madman on the outside, but inside he is a complete hypocrite.

Perhaps because he has been imitating it for a long time, he has Ni Heng's appearance, but not Ni Heng's inner beauty. A tiger cannot be compared to a dog. It only has Ni Heng's skin but not Ni Heng's bones.

After cursing Zhu Houzhao, he threw the drumstick on the ground and waited for Zhu Houzhao's disposal.

Killing Yuan Zhen might arouse the hostility of scholars in the Yongle Dynasty, but he didn't care much, since his reputation had never been good anyway.

This is how Yuan Zhen felt to Zhu Houzhao. It seemed that as long as Zhu Houzhao killed him, Yuan Zhen would be famous throughout the ages.

To play this kind of drum, in addition to being proficient in drumming skills, you must also have a certain level of cultivation, otherwise you will not even be able to hold the drumsticks.

The big drum is made of the skin of a demon ox. It is not a drum used for sacrificial rituals, but a war drum used in the army.

After tidying up his clothes a little, he picked up the drumstick effortlessly and started beating the war drum.

"Sacrificing life for righteousness, I don't know what you mean by righteousness?"

He scolded Zhu Houzhao without mercy at all. In Yuan Zhen's eyes, Zhu Houzhao was like a figure like Cao Mengde, and he needed righteous people like him to criticize.

"Life is precious, but it is far less valuable than the faith you hold in your heart."

There are so many people scolding him, but what can they do to him!

A person like Yuan Zhen loves his reputation, but his mind is extremely complicated. No one is the roundworm in his stomach, so how can he know his specific thoughts.

Dong dong dong~~~

The sound of war drums is as high as the roar of dragons and roars of tigers, resounding in all directions, making people feel as if they are on the battlefield, galloping and fighting among thousands of troops, arousing infinite blood.

Zhu Houzhao laughed angrily and said, "I heard that Mr. is good at playing drums. Can you show me your skills so that I can have a look at Mr.'s style?"

"Insulting fellow tribesmen and suppressing clan members is unjust!"

Of course, it is also possible that he knew he was going to die but wanted to have a good time before he died.

After all, Yuan Zhen is not Mi Heng. He does not have the courage to get naked in front of others and show his pure body and outlook on others.

"Here comes the drum."

"Keep light and reject darkness, uphold etiquette, law and morality, and do not coexist with filth. This is righteousness!"

In essence, Yuan Zhen is not much different from a traditional scholar. He is arrogant, self-righteous, and eager to be famous in the world.

Abolish the superior treatment of scholars, suppress the scholar community, and exile civil servants to farm and open up wasteland. A normal emperor would not be able to do such a thing.

Mi Heng beat drums and scolded Cao, which was regarded as a classic by history. Now Yuan Zhen beats drums and scolds Zhu. No matter what he does, he can make a mark in history.

Just now it was a personal attack, insulting Zhu Houzhao and the civil and military ministers, but now it has directly escalated to the level of the entire Taiwu Dynasty. I really feel that I have lived too long, and I just want to die as soon as possible.

People are about to die, but they still regard their own death as so noble. Those who regard "fame" as extremely important and even use death to "become famous" are the most ignorant.

He had given up his fear of death and wanted to use his own death to awaken the fighting spirit of the scholars in the Taiwu Dynasty and force Zhu Houzhao to return to paying attention to scholars.

"Forcing our ancestors to die, ignoring human ethics, is disloyal!"

Imitating Mi Heng's behavior, he was known as the most famous talker in the Yongle Dynasty for his one-tongued talk. He made himself very successful, but also very unsuccessful.

Yuan Zhen often compared himself with Mi Heng of the Three Kingdoms, and his behavior was very similar to Mi Heng's. In this case, Zhu Houzhao gave him the same fate as Mi Heng.

Mi Heng beat drums and scolded Cao Cao because the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy was weakened and he was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's superiority over the Han emperor, instead of going around with unbridled rants.

Knowing that he could not escape death, he wanted to be wild before death.

As for Yuan Zhen, he is indeed very similar to Mi Heng. He has a bad mouth and is good at playing drums. But if you compare them carefully, you will find that there are essential differences between the two.

Dare to compare himself to Mi Heng, the madman of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Zhen still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Not only is he a good talker, he is also a good drummer.

Yuan Zhen was disgusted and disgusted by going to his territory and uttering obscene words and talking about his moral integrity.

The sound of the war drums became louder and louder, and Yuan Zhen also began his final attempt to commit suicide:

Then he shook his head and sighed: "Although I have Ni Heng's skin, I don't have Ni Heng's bones, and I don't have Ni Heng's soul."

Listening to the surging war drums and being infected by the artistic conception, Zhu Houzhao unconsciously whispered:

"Thousands of achievements, eternal names, heroes are stained with blood. Fighting for superiority on the sand of the battlefield, centuries of spirit, the winner is my name."

"Being disobedient and disrespectful of etiquette and law is considered unfilial."

The murderous intention in Zhu Houzhao's heart surged, like boiling water, and he could no longer suppress it.

Yuan Zhen did not refuse, and accepted generously.

This is the most pertinent evaluation of Yuan Zhen.

At this moment, Yuan Zhen's face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of holy light, which was so dazzling.

"You are unkind by killing ministers indiscriminately and despising sages!"

Mi Heng's pride comes from the bottom of his heart, while Yuan Zhen's pride is more like a deliberate act.

Dark? Dirty?

What's the meaning?

It is clearly referring to Sang Shuhuai, who said that Zhu Houzhao's Taiwu Dynasty was a dark and filthy place harboring filth and evil, and he would rather die than live under this sky.

Zhu Houzhao winked at Liu Jin, and Liu Jin immediately understood and ordered the warriors in front of the palace to bring a big drum.

"People like you, who are unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial, actually sit high in the temple, dominate the world and rule all the people. This is the misfortune of the world and the sorrow of the world."

"Sir, you are so eloquent."

Zhu Houzhao said with an indifferent expression that Yuan Zhen had been sentenced to death.

Since this guy is looking for death, he should be willing to fulfill his wish.

Label Zhu Houzhao as unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind. He is doomed, and even God cannot save him.

Even if Zhu Houzhao didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to get out of the Taiwu Dynasty's territory alive.

Having single-handedly brought the Taiwu Dynasty to the top three of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao's prestige in the country is unparalleled. Many people hate Zhu Houzhao, and even more respect him.

As long as the news spreads, without Zhu Houzhao personally taking action, the civil forces can make Yuan Zhen disappear from the world.
