On the fifth day of February in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, there was a three-day countdown to the Lan Yu case.
Zhu Yunxi opened his eyes and found that he had become the deposed grandson of the deposed emperor whose name had been erased from the history books - the legitimate son of Prince Zhu Biao and the biological nephew of Lan Yu. The fate of the original person: imprisoned by Zhu Yunwen until death, without even a tombstone.
The good news is: Lan Yu hadn't been caught when he came here.
The bad news is: Jin Yiwei's memorial has been written.
Zhu Yunxi climbed over the wall and left the palace overnight, and kicked open the door of Liang Guogong's mansion: "Uncle, Lao Deng wants to kill you!"
Lan Yu was half awake from the wine: "Who? Who wants to kill me? Your Majesty? You can't -"
"He has even prepared a list of your whole family. Do you want me to recite it to you?"
The sapphire wine glass fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Eight hundred dead soldiers, three days, a general who was jealous of the whole world, and an emperor's grandson who everyone thought would "not survive the next month" - these were all the cards in Zhu Yunxi's hand.
Has anyone ever asked him if he would answer?
He doesn't know how to line up his troops? He will.
He doesn't know how to play games in court? He will.
Wouldn't he be able to instigate rebellion? So will he.
Not to mention - he also brought with him the hard skills of a fierce general in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Qin Shubao's mace could defeat thousands of troops, and Zhu Yunxi's fists were not much worse than those of his ancestors.
Later Lan Yu asked him: "Nephew, what are you planning?"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's secret edict of "kill without mercy", and grinned.
"I want to have a say. Lao Zhu can kill whoever he wants? Then you have to ask me if this knife will answer."
To sum up in one sentence: The emperor's grandson led eight hundred dead men to enforce Hongwu's iron law. Lao Zhu's sword could not cut it this time.
