Chapter 4: Old Zhu in Sadness

Zhu Yuanzhang felt an ominous premonition when he saw that Zhu Xi's deduction was only a short 3 minutes long.

"It's weird, the fourth child and Yun Wen's deductions were both two or three hours long, why did the second child only last three minutes!?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't sit still anymore and directly issued instructions to the system,

"Hurry up and deduce for me the fate of Zhu Ping as the vassal king!"

[Simulation target: Zhu Xiang]

[Simulation career option: feudal lord]

[System simulation begins, estimated duration is 3 minutes]

Before the thought came to an end, with the sound of electronic sounds, extremely real but dream-like pictures appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

[In the 24th year of Hongwu, because of your many mistakes in the vassal state, you were summoned back to the capital by your father. After being persuaded by your eldest brother Zhu Biao, you were released back to the vassal state the following year. 】

[In the first month of the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, you were ordered by your father to lead Pingqiang General Ning Zheng and others to conquer Taozhou. You won and received many rewards.]

[In March of the 28th year of Hongwu period, you were poisoned to death by three old women, and your nominal concubine Guanyinnu was buried]

[The title will be inherited by your eldest son, King Qin Yin Zhu Shangbing]

"What!? The second child disappeared after three years!?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, his heart ached, and he almost fainted and fell to the ground.

The various images displayed by the simulator in my mind are extremely detailed and appropriate.

Even planning to release Zhu Ping back to his fiefdom at the end of this year was something that Zhu Yuanzhang had already decided on.

This had to make him believe that everything shown in the simulator was real.

When he thought that his second son would also be brutally murdered three years later, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

Later, the pain became more and more intense, even making him breathless, and his body gradually became weak.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang fell to the ground with a bang, and the servants and guards waiting outside the door rushed in one after another, shouting:

"No! The emperor fainted!"

"Go and ask the doctor quickly!"

...

"Since your grandpa has given you so many rewards, you should keep them well."

"This shows that your grandpa Huang still likes you. At least our brothers have never been treated like you."

Zhu Ping was currently talking to Zhu Ping in the Linde Hall,

He was still a little unhappy when he mentioned all the unfair treatment his father had given his brothers.

"Although you are not as favored as Zhu Yunwen, he is still the crown prince after all. You must not be jealous!"

Seeing his father's unhappy look, Zhu Shangbing secretly laughed in his heart.

'Are you afraid that I will be jealous, or are you jealous yourself?'

But he didn't dare to say it. Looking at his father's nagging face, Zhu Shangbing felt warm in his heart.

Zhu Ping was usually unruly, dandy, and had many sins, but he really had nothing to say about himself.

Our daily interactions are not at all like a ruthless and indifferent imperial family, but rather like the warm families of ordinary people.

Maybe it was also in memory of his mother, Deng, Zhu Shangbing couldn't say for sure.

In fact, he also understood why Zhu Xi kept talking about himself,

Aren't you afraid that the death of your mother, Deng, by Zhu Yuanzhang will affect your relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather and grandson?

But when he thought of the irreconcilable conflict between Zhu Xi and Zhu Yuanzhang due to this incident, Zhu Shangbing also had a headache.

The father and son obviously care about each other very much, right?

But why did it end up in this situation today?

Zhu Shangbing felt sad for a while, and even his eyes felt a little sad, and he secretly made up his mind,

Even if it can't mend the relationship between the two of them, it should at least allow them to understand each other's thoughts.

After all, it’s a father-son battle, what hurdles can’t be overcome!?

"According to the historical process, my father was poisoned to death by three old women three years later,"

"As long as I'm here, you can never let this happen!"

Just when Zhu Shangbing secretly made up his mind to reverse history and change his father's destiny,

A sharp and urgent shout suddenly came,

"Something bad is going to happen!"

"Your Majesty, he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground!"

"The imperial doctor just revived him, and the first thing he said was that he wanted to see you, Your Majesty!"

Outside the door, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch rushed over in a panic and said quickly.

Hearing this, Zhu Ping was shocked and the object in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Without saying a word, he directly grabbed Zhu Shangbing's sleeve and ran anxiously towards Zhu Yuanzhang's palace.

...

"Father, I am here, are you feeling better now?"

When he came to the palace, Zhu Xi saw Zhu Yuanzhang's weathered face and his frail appearance with gray hair on his temples. He couldn't help feeling sad and asked in a trembling voice.

"It doesn't matter to us! We asked you to come here this time because we want to take a good look at you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his second son with red eyes. He felt sad for a moment when he thought about seeing each other forever in three years.

"Second brother, we have thought about it many times over the years. Now it seems that we did something wrong about your princess."

Zhu Ping couldn't believe his ears when he heard that his father, who had never refused to admit his mistakes, now admitted his mistakes to him personally.

"Look back, if you really don't like Wang Baobao's sister, then divorce her. Then you can arrange a good place for her from the clan's mansion."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a trembling voice, his eyes already moist as he spoke.

It is said that father and son go into battle, and brothers fight tigers. Ever since he rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has always made himself cold-blooded, ruthless, and decisive.

After experiencing the death of the eldest grandson, the death of Empress Ma, and the death of Zhu Biao, I suddenly realized that family ties are the most important!

So the face that could not be wiped off in the past seems to have become a joke now!

What can be compared to the life of one's own son?

After Zhu Yuanzhang exited the simulator, he thought about it repeatedly, and he could probably guess who poisoned Zhu Ping.

In the simulator, after Zhu Ping returned to his fiefdom, his behavior became more arrogant and vicious, and he was extremely harsh on his servants. If there was any slight deviation, he would be tortured even more.

This made everyone in Prince Qin's house feel in danger, and they didn't know which day they would die.

And in this case, besides the Guanyin slave who has the title of princess, who else would ask a few old women to do such a thing of losing their heads?

"Father! I shouldn't have acted recklessly and deliberately made you angry over the years..."

Zhu Ping was in tears at this moment. Some things were actually just discussed. Now he was so happy and excited that he could hardly breathe.

As they talked, the two of them hugged each other and started crying, leaving everyone around them wondering what was going on.

"I was just about to make up my mind to hold them together, but now they have reconciled!?"

Zhu Shangbing wiped the corners of his eyes and didn't know what to say. The atmosphere of this occasion was not suitable for interrupting.

"Eh!? By the way, I remember that there seems to be a guy named Zhu Shangbing in the simulation options,"

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Shangbing, father and son, were retiring, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered this when he saw Zhu Shangbing.

After I passed out and struggled all night, the morning light was already shining, and it was the next day.

The simulator can only deduce once a day. I did a lot of deduce last night and I haven't decided who to deduce today.

But in this state, it is certain that I will take a day off, so I might as well do it with another person in bed.

"Before deducing Yunwen, let's take a look at the fate of the second child,"

[Crown Prince-Zhu Shangbing]

[Simulation option one, feudal lord]

[Simulation option two, Wise King]

[Simulation option three, General]

[Simulation option four, Fenglangjuxu, Leshi Yanran]

[Duration of deduction: eight hours]
