How to treat your brother-in-law
After Zhu Di retired from the court and returned to the palace, he was furious: "I must kill him!."Empress Xu's face was full of surprise and asked, "Who does Your Majesty want to kill?"Zhu Di said indignantly: "It's not your precious brother, today the Manchu Dynasty civil and military capital went to the temple to worship, but he was crying in the ancestral hall of Zhongshan Wang!."”
Xu Huizu looked up blankly at the dark window, and there was another rolling thunder, indicating that a rainstorm was coming. His heart is also surging with a rolling dark tide, and it is difficult to calm down.
This was the third day of Zhu Di's capture of Nanjing. In the past three days, the subjects rushed to the Yanwang Mansion to congratulate them, and they came to see their allegiance, and the whole city of Nanjing was immersed in a peaceful and joyful atmosphere, as if everything would be fine if a master was changed. Only Duke Xu's Mansion is full of birds, and it is depressed and deserted.
The people rebelled and left, and the lonely ministers were difficult to be loyal. Xu Huizu smiled bitterly, he was powerless to return to the sky.
reciprocated the favor, and he Xu Huizu was loyal to the royal family. Ancestor Xu Da was the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and after the death of his father, he inherited the title of Duke of Wei and devoted himself to assisting the royal family. The first emperor personally promoted him, and he was willing to be aloneToday, he is reused and worshiped as the prince and the prince. For twenty years, he wholeheartedly assisted Ming Jun and swore to defend the imperial power. Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long, and a military disaster destroyed all the political affairs he had worked so hard for.
There are many opinions and arguments. Jianwen's defeat was all due to Zhu Yunwen's improper cutting of the domain. But he, Xu Huizu, obviously repeatedly admonished and warned King Yan to level the king today, but he was not heard. As soon as the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase. When Zhu Di raised his army, he was ordered to supervise the army and fight to the death. It's a pity that the army was defeated, and Jinshang suddenly transferred him back to Beijing, which led to the rout of the army.
If you look at it, you will be revenged, and Zhu Di will kill it. Now that the general trend has gone, Wei Guogong is alone and helpless, and it is difficult to escape this catastrophe.
Childe please. Suddenly, the guard's muffled voice came from outside the door.
Xu Huizu was slightly startled and slowly raised his head. He understood that this moment had finally come.
The official instructed that the adults should follow us to the Yanwang Mansion. The guard said politely.
Xu Huizu pondered for a moment, then got up calmly. He is no longer the first assistant minister, and he is only left with a catastrophe that is lucky not to die. Life and death are uncertain, and the only way to face it is to be open-minded.
Gradually approaching the Yanwang Mansion, a lively sound poured into his ears. Xu Huizu couldn't help but remember that this was still the Prince's Mansion that day. So many former colleagues, are they now as prosperous as this Yan Wangfu?
Adult, please. The group came to the main hall.
Xu Huizu entered the hall steadily, only to see that the hall full of civil and military officials all knelt down in a hurry and kowtowed to one person to say goodbye. Isn't this person Zhu Di, the king of Yan who took the throne!
Why didn't Hui Zu bow down?Zhu Di smiled and raised his head, and the word Huizu in his mouth made Xu Huizu suddenly shocked.
The minister didn't dare. Xu Huizu straightened his waist and replied proudly.
Zhu Di stepped forward, held his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Huizu, the will of heaven is like this, and you and I can't change it." It's better for Huizu to conform to me, admit me as the heir, and start everything. ”
Xu Huizu shook off his hand, took a step back, and said firmly: "Jun is the domain of the Son of Heaven, and you have to rebel?"The minister swears allegiance to Zhengshuo to the death, and will never obey the thief!”
What a good one!Zhu Di sneered, "Zhengshuo can't govern the country, so how can Zhengshuo say it?"”
He turned to plead, "Huizu don't insist anymore. Today's events, you and I have no power to return to heaven. It is better for Huizu to conform to me, recognize me as the heir, and I will seal Huizu as the Taishi, and reuse it as before. ”
Xu Huizu snorted coldly, and said categorically: "The ancestors are the founding heroes, and my generation has been favored by the country, how can I betray Zhengshuo!."Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. Ministers will never obey thieves!”
Good!Excellent!Zhu Di was furious, "Since Huizu is desperately loyal to Zhengshuo, I will fulfill you!."”
He glared at Xu Huizu fiercely, waved his hand and ordered left and right: "Escort me down, behead!."”
When I heard the words left and right, I was at a loss. If this really kills Xu Huizu, he may be troubled by Xu Da's resentful spirits in the future. But King Yan's order, how can he disobey it?
After a long time, Xu Huizu was brought back to the main hall. I saw Zhu Di's face gloomy, and his fists were clenched.
That's it, even if Hui Zu is bent on going his own way, I won't embarrass you. It's just that I hope Huizu will behave for himself in the future, and don't betray again!Zhu Di said in a deep voice.
This night, Xu Huizu lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He knew that the general trend was gone, but his attachment and loyalty to his homeland in his heart did not diminish in the slightest. He stared at the bright moon outside the window for a long time, the night was getting thicker, and the future was boundless, Xu Huizu couldn't help but sigh.
In the fifth year of Yongle, Empress Xu died, and Zhu Di was sad. In the same year, Xu Huizu died of illness, but whether he really died of illness, or whether Zhu Di finally attacked him, later generations do not know.
