Lingshan Temple.
There is a pagoda in the temple, which is on the top of the mountain and is nine stories high.
According to the arrangement of Xu Bin and others, Jianwen went to the ninth floor of Lingshan Tower first, and then Zhu Di went to the first floor of Lingshan Tower. Sun Ruowei, the daughter of Jingqing Sun Yu, delivered the message.
In order to prevent Zhu Di from taking the opportunity to plot evil, Xu Bin proposed to use Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe as hostages.
Once Zhu Di dares to do something detrimental to Jianwen, and Jianwen cannot return safely, the two brothers Zhu Zhanji will die.
Surrounded by a group of royal guards, Zhu Di got off the sedan in front of Lingshan Tower. On the left and right were Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.
‘Second brother, is the person here？’
‘We’re here. There are three people on the ninth floor of the tower. They should be Jianwen and two guards.’
Zhu Di nodded slightly after hearing this and sighed, ‘Oh, he still doesn’t want to meet me!’
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, ‘Dad, aren’t you talking nonsense？ If it were you, would you meet him？’
Prince Zhao on the side was almost shocked when he heard this. Why is this second son talking more and more unruly？
Zhu Di didn’t take it seriously, smiled mockingly, and then joked, ‘Those two brats have gone, aren’t you afraid that I will take the opportunity to kill Jianwen, and He’er won’t be able to come back？’
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and replied seriously, ‘If dad is really so cruel, then it’s only his fault that his son’s life is not good. Anyway, my son has several sons, so it’s not a big problem.’
‘You bastard, you talk nonsense.’
Sun Ruowei’s eyebrows stood up when she heard this. As the messenger, she naturally had to follow Zhu Di.
But at this moment, she was a little worried about Zhu Zhanhe’s safety. After all, no one could guarantee whether Zhu Di would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
That was Emperor Jianwen whom he was searching for so hard!
How could an emperor who conquered the world by usurping the throne tolerate the previous emperor to still exist？
The king is the person with the smallest magnanimity, and he is also the person with the greatest magnanimity.
No one can guarantee whether Zhu Di will kill Jianwen or not.
The father and son joked a few words with each other, and Zhu Di’s nervous heartstrings relaxed a lot, and he walked towards the tower.
When he walked to the gate of the pagoda, Zhu Di suddenly ordered, ‘Third brother, you don’t have to go in. There will be a security guard outside. The second brother and this girl will follow me in.’
Zhu Gaosui nodded knowingly, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Zhu Gaoxu was shocked when he saw this. It seemed that Zhu Laosi really wanted to do something!
But now that the matter has come to this, he doesn’t know what to do, so he can only take one step at a time.
The three of them entered the pagoda and saw only a few green oil lamps and an ancient Buddha statue.
Accompanied by the green lantern and ancient Buddha, Zhu Di felt a lot more at peace.
He turned to look at Sun Ruowei, smiled and began to tell his story.
‘Girl, I was just a King of Yan back then, and I only wanted to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty.’
‘But Jianwen, this little bastard, just took the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and he pointed his sword at his uncle.’
‘The kings of Zhou, the kings of Qi, the kings of Xiang, and others were either deposed as commoners or directly killed. They are all Jianwen’s uncles and my brothers!’
Sun Ruowei just listened quietly, not knowing how to answer.
‘I, the most powerful King of Yan, have become a thorn in his side. He first sent his confidants to Peiping to monitor my every move, then reduced all my military power, and even hoarded heavy troops in Kaiping!’
‘I had no choice but to pretend to be crazy, run wildly on the street, yell at passers-by, grab other people’s food everywhere, gobble it up, and sleep on the road all day long…’
These words coming from the mouth of the emperor Zhu Di are full of deep sorrow and desolation!
‘You also know what happened next. I was successful in the peace process and became emperor, but I had nightmares all night long. I dreamed that my father scolded me for treason and wanted to chop off my head with a sword. I couldn’t beg for mercy no matter what. Useless……’
‘Girl, go up and ask him, has he never had nightmares in these years？’
Sun Ruowei nodded and climbed up the nine-story tower in one breath.
She was also uneasy about meeting them, the orphans of Jingnan, who had always been loyal to Emperor Jianwen.
However, at this moment, a bright long knife was suddenly placed on her neck.
‘who are you？!’
‘I am the daughter of Jing Qing, and I have been ordered to come here to deliver a message.’
A gentle voice sounded, ‘Since it is Jingqing’s child, let her come over.’
The guard then sheathed his sword and allowed Sun Ruowei to walk in.
I saw a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat and black clothes, sitting cross-legged on the futon.
Sun Ruowei hurriedly knelt down and saluted, ‘I have met His Majesty!’
‘No need to kneel down, I am not an emperor, just a monk.’
Jianwen explained with a smile and took off his hat, revealing a bald head.
Sun Ruowei’s eyes narrowed when she saw it, with astonishment written all over her face.
‘Why is Your Majesty dressed like a monk？’
‘What’s so strange about dressing up like a monk？ In the past, I even dressed up like an emperor.’
After hearing this, Sun Ruowei could only smile awkwardly, and then conveyed Zhu Di’s words to Jianwen.
After a while, Sun Ruowei came back downstairs out of breath and told everything that happened upstairs intact.
Zhu Di was startled when he heard this and couldn’t believe it.
‘I didn’t expect that he actually became a monk!’
Then Sun Ruowei presented something, and Zhu Di looked at it through the green lantern, and it turned out to be the seal of the national jade seal!
Seeing this thing, Zhu Di was a little excited and a little relieved.
‘Girl, do you know what this is？ This is the jade seal passed down to the country. It is ordered by heaven, and you will live forever!’
‘An emperor can only be considered a true emperor if he holds the imperial seal in his hand!’
‘After I conquered Jinling, the palace was in raging fire, and Jianwen was nowhere to be found. I ordered people to dig three feet into the ground, but they couldn’t find the imperial seal. He had really taken it away.’
After a pause, Zhu Di hurriedly asked, ‘Girl, go up and ask him if he has brought the imperial seal.’
Sun Ruowei immediately stood up and left, but heard Zhu Di say again, ‘Forget it, I’ll leave this to the last question. Tell Jianwen that I intend to honor him as the Supreme Emperor. Will he agree？’
‘I finally escaped from there, do you think I’m willing to go back easily？’
Jianwen turned around, looked at the panting Sun Ruowei, and said with a smile, ‘I have become a monk and am homeless. I am an outsider and don’t care about the world. Go tell him so that he doesn’t have to worry about what happens after death.’ As long as things benefit the common people, that’s all.’
On the first floor of Lingshan Tower, Zhu Di just snorted after hearing this.
‘Oh, that sounds nice, but…’
Before she finished speaking, Sun Ruowei held something in her hand, which turned out to be the national jade seal.
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to take it with trembling hands, holding the jade seal tightly in his hand.
‘Is he really willing to give me the jade seal and become a monk traveling around the world？’
At this moment, even Zhu Di couldn’t believe it.
‘He said that he is already a foreigner, and he would not have come this time if it were not for Nuer Gandusi’s trouble.’
‘He also said, please put your mind at ease and benefit the people of the world, and don’t have to worry about it anymore!’
Zhu Di looked at the green lantern and carefully examined the jade seal passed down from the country.
‘I’m afraid I won’t be able to be the emperor with peace of mind. If he doesn’t become the Supreme Emperor, I won’t be able to feel at ease. Go up and tell him!’
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaoxu was shocked. This Zhu Laosi was really not a human being!
As soon as Sun Ruowei left, Zhu Di put away the jade seal and started to follow.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu could only follow closely behind him, thinking about how to break the situation.
When two dragons meet, if one is not good, there will be death or injury!
