Chapter 700: Smile away grudges 2

Author: Hungry Disaster

Zhu Houzhao came and King An left.

King An walked peacefully and left with a smile.

After talking openly with Zhu Houzhao, he let go of all his obsessions. He no longer had any worries in the world.

After death, you will know that everything is empty, and life will be empty in the end.

Fighting is empty, not fighting is empty.

When you die, everything is gone.

Zhu Houzhao left Prince An's residence thoughtfully and walked aimlessly on the streets of the capital until he came to Lao Zhu's mansion.

In the backyard of Prince Wu's Mansion, old rivals gathered together, but there was no hostility left, only sighs about the vicissitudes of life.

"Zhu Houzhao, although you defeated us, we will never surrender to you."

"Not convinced."

Lao Zhu held the wine glass and said with drunken eyes.

Lao Zhu was drunk because his heart was drunk. Otherwise, no matter how much alcohol he drank, no matter how strong his cultivation level was, he would not be able to get him drunk.

"I'm not convinced either. You're a bastard who deceives heaven and destroys your ancestors. You don't even think about honoring your ancestors first when it's good for you."

"Back then you sold us the cheap five-color crown uniforms at a sky-high price. Do you think you were doing this as a human matter?"

Zhu Di shouted after him.

Everyone staggered drunkenly and kept scolding Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao all laughed it off, and the past grudges were gone.

They have also given up. What can they do if they don't let go? Will they continue to hold on to that meaningless dignity?

It doesn't make any sense.

After losing to Zhu Houzhao, they had lost all face. They were fooled by Zhu Qiyuan again. If they continued to cling to the dignity of the former emperor, it would only appear that they could not afford to lose.

"Zhu Houzhao, your kid is not a toy, and your son is not a good guy either. You dare to play with us, you are really a bastard."

Lao Zhu took advantage of the drunkenness and complained crazily.

Regarding Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Qiyuan, he had nothing to do but complain. Each of these two fathers and sons was more sinister than the other.

Zhu Qiyuan established the Royal Council. Although he gave these former emperors the power to discuss matters, he still retained the so-called veto power.

Zhu Qiyuan vetoed all the requests they put forward that were detrimental to the imperial power, and as long as Zhu Qiyuan disagreed, none of their ideas were feasible.

Lao Zhu recommended Xu Da as the commander-in-chief and reorganized a main battle force no less large than the four kings and generals. Zhu Qiyuan rejected it without even thinking about it.

Zhu Biao suggested using the remaining ministers of each dynasty, but rejected it.

Zhu Di wanted Zhang Yu to succeed Zhang Mao, but he rejected it.

With the veto power in hand, they had no choice but to deal with Zhu Qiyuan. Before forming the Royal Council, they collectively recognized the authority of the veto power and could not slap themselves in the face.

Their plan to oust Zhu Qiyuan was aborted before it even started. They had no practical authority and could not do anything to Zhu Qiyuan.

Having deliberation power but no decision-making power is ultimately a castle in the air.

When they realized that they had been tricked by Zhu Qiyuan, something even more helpless was yet to come.

Zhu Qiyuan used their names to suppress the various forces that were ready to move.

In one sentence, the suppression of all forces has nothing to do with the emperor. It was all decided by the Royal Council. If you want to hate it, hate the kings who have the power to discuss it.

After tricking them and letting them act as scapegoats, Zhu Qiyuan's actions were not without evil deeds. Although Lao Zhu and others were angry, they had no choice but to give up the discussion of political power, right?

Having political power is better than not having it at all.

The status of vassal kings with political power is much higher than that of ordinary vassal kings. I believe that the King of Qin, King of Jin, King of Han, King of Zhao and others will be happy to take their place.

Lao Zhu and Zhu Di will never accept it, their own son showing off his power in front of them.

Therefore, while they enjoyed the power of discussion held by members of the Royal Council, they also acted as Zhu Qiyuan's scapegoats, suffering and enjoying themselves.

However, I have finally regained some of the pleasure I had when I was an emperor. Talking about world affairs is always better than having nothing to do.

After the Royal Council incident, they gave up completely. First they were defeated by Zhu Houzhao, and then they were fooled by Zhu Qiyuan. If they continued to fight, they would lose all their faces.

Listening to everyone's complaints, Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly. The Royal Council and the veto power were his masterpieces. They were specially used to check and balance the kings. While using the kings, they did not give them real power. In this way, Zhu Qiyuan could completely control the situation.

insidious?

As long as it can be used, it doesn't matter whether it is insidious or not. The art of war is said to be true, and soldiers never tire of deceit. The same is true in politics.

However, his face remained calm and he said with a slight smile: "Our era is gradually passing away. The future belongs to young people, so why not look at it a little bit."

"There is wine today and you will be drunk now. You will be worried tomorrow and worry tomorrow. No matter how much you think about it, it is useless."

"Come, Grandpa, do one."

In the midst of the banquet, everything became dull.

Zhu Houzhao got very drunk at Prince Wu's Mansion. He couldn't get drunk, but he wanted to get drunk.

In the past, he was sitting on the throne of the emperor. He had to deal with many things and was busy with government affairs. He didn't dare to get drunk. He couldn't get drunk. Drunkness messes with human nature. If he got drunk and did something wrong, it would be troublesome to clean up.

But he is no longer the emperor, and he really wants to try the feeling of being drunk and unconscious.

People always say that when you are drunk, you forget everything and all your worries disappear.

Facts have proved that getting drunk is indeed a good way to soothe your mood. You can fall drunk on the ground and let the spring breeze blow on your face without any sorrow, and you can sleep beautifully until dawn.

When he woke up, he felt that his whole body was smooth, and then he walked leisurely towards the Sun and Moon Academy.

On the mountain behind the Sun and Moon Academy, Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yangming sat face to face.

Zhu Houzhao was surprised when he saw Wang Yangming making tea for him in a serious manner. After not seeing him for a long time, Wang Yangming's cultivation had become deeper and deeper, and he was only one step away from Da Luo.

Moreover, Wang Yangming is still accumulating and intends to achieve Da Luo Jinxian in one step. Otherwise, he can condense the circle of time now and realize Da Luo Celestial Immortal.

Monster!

Zhu Houzhao secretly marveled in his heart, Wang Yangming was worthy of being a being that God wanted to feed him. His talent was so terrifying that he was really powerful enough to scare people to death.

Zhu Houzhao asked himself, if there were not many powerful people behind him to add fuel to the flames, if he wanted to achieve enlightenment, he would have wasted many years.

And Wang Yangming, without the support of any powerful person, relied entirely on his own understanding, and in more than 10,000 years, he has infinitely approached the Da Luo realm. This talent and talent are simply terrifying.

Not human!

"Your Majesty's heart is in confusion!"

Wang Yangming placed a cup of brewed tea in front of Zhu Houzhao and said softly.

Although Zhu Houzhao did not explain his purpose of coming, he could tell from the trace of sadness emanating from Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows that Zhu Houzhao was in big trouble.

Regarding his most trusted old partner, Zhu Houzhao did not hide anything and told Wang Yangming everything.

Then he smiled bitterly and said: "If you come out to fool around, you will eventually have to pay back."

"During the rise of the Ming Dynasty, it suffered from the karma of too many powerful people. Now, it's time to pay back."

"It's just that I'm not willing to accept being plotted to such an extent that there's no way out!"

Of course he was not willing to be used as a pawn in someone's scheme. He came to Wang Yangming just to vent his anger.

The only one who could listen to all his inner thoughts was Wang Yangming.

"Cause and effect are intertwined, so there is nothing you can do."

Wang Yangming sighed softly. Facing such an almost desperate situation, he had no good solution and did not comfort Zhu Houzhao.

He understood Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao did not need comfort.

Emperor Taiwu was domineering and strong throughout his life, and comforting him was just an insult to Zhu Houzhao.
