Chapter 911: Axe and Candle Shadow

However, when Emperor Chongzhen's arm touched his son's body, Zhu Cilang suddenly woke up. He was not slowly watching his whole eyes, nor sleepy eyes. Instead, he woke up.

Zhu Cixuan, who woke up, suddenly jumped up from the chair, and almost instantly made a strategic defensive posture. Even his hand unconsciously touched his waist.

However, his waist was empty and he had no weapons to hang. The opposite side was not his own enemy.

Just now, Zhu Cilang's eyes were full of murderous intent, like a lonely black wolf who had just walked out of the dark forest. His eyes were full of murderous intent, which came from the eyes after the battle of life and death on the battlefield.

This originated from his long-term military career, leading troops north to Liaodong to resist Jiannu, and then he was named the Grand Marshal of the World to quell the bandits.

Zhu Cixuan has spent almost all of his years on horseback. He has survived countless deaths and countless thrilling hardships, which has made him remain highly vigilant even when he sleeps.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen approached, he suddenly woke up. And the first thing he did after waking up was to quickly react and make necessary defenses.

Emperor Chongzhen saw it and felt it hurt in his heart. How cruel the son had experienced, he became like this. There was only one explanation, on the battlefield where he led his troops to fight.

The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and there are many examples in history where weak defeat the strong and defeat the more with few. Zhu Cilang has always been highly alert, and only in this way can he have the opportunity to defeat the enemy.

Not only him, but actually those heroes are the same. Huang Taiji is the same, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are the same.

This is also the story of Cao Cao killing people around him in history.

Cao Cao's murder in his dream is a small story in "The Death of Yang Xiu", and it also adds one of the reasons why Cao Cao wanted to kill him as soon as possible; the death of Yang Xiu is excerpted from the 72nd chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" "Zhuge Liang wisely takes Cao Aman's troops back to the Xiegu in Hanzhong."

Cao was afraid that others would secretly plot to murder himself, so he often shared his duties: "I dream of killing people; whenever I sleep, don't approach." One day, he fell into the tent in the daytime and fell on the ground. When the nearby servants panicked, they covered him. Cao jumped up and pulled his sword and slashed him, and then went to bed. After a while, he got up and asked in surprise: "Who killed my nearby servants?" Everyone was really in agreement.

Cao cried bitterly and ordered him to be buried with great care. Everyone thought that Cao Guo killed someone in his dream; but Xiu knew his intention, and when he was buried, he pointed and sighed, "The Prime Minister was not in his dream, but in his dream! He heard it and became more abominable.

The meaning is that Cao Cao was afraid that someone would secretly murder him, so he often ordered his guards to say, "I am so murderous in my dreams. Whenever I fall asleep, don't get close to me!"

Once, Cao Cao was sleeping in the tent during the day, and the quilt fell to the ground. The nearby servant hurriedly took the quilt to cover him. Cao Cao immediately jumped up and drew his sword and killed him, and then continued to go to bed.

When he got up in the middle of the night, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Who killed my guard?"

Everyone told the truth. Cao Cao cried bitterly and ordered someone to bury his close servant.

People thought that Cao Cao was really killing people in a dream, but Yang Xiu knew his intention. When he was buried, he sighed and said, "It's not the Prime Minister in his dream, it's you in his dream!"

The so-called Cao Cao's sleepwalking and murder was just his own excuse. In fact, Cao Cao was afraid that someone would harm him.

But no one could see his intentions, Yang Xiu saw it. In fact, Yang Xiu was not smart but was mistaken for being smart, but was really stupid.

If you are smart enough, you will not make these things public. Instead, you will pretend to turn a blind eye and listen. This is also one of the unique skills of most old foxes in court to save their lives.

But Yang Xiu, who had a big mouth, thought he was very smart, and he actually made a comeback. In the hands of any hero, people like Yang Xiu could not survive.

The same is true for Huang Taiji, and someone approached in the most sleepy dream. The same is true for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. The only difference between Zhu Cilang is that he does not have their tyranny.

So the question is, is it the same after Zhu Cixuan and Shen Shishi got married?

Of course not. If the couple is so alert, how can they live this life? Only when they are with Xiao Shishi, Zhu Cilang is completely relaxed, and Zhu Cilang was also the biggest weakness at that time. Because Zhu Cilang, who was immersed in Xiao Shishi's gentle hometown, could feel extremely warmth and peace of mind.

This is the power of love.

Zhu Cixuan's eyes quickly softened, and then relaxed: "Father."

Men rarely show tenderness, and their feelings are often deeper. Emperor Chongzhen stood there a little embarrassedly, and then he put away his cloak: "If you are tired, then sleep for a while."

Zhu Cilang was stunned and then smiled: "Okay, the child is no longer sleepy."

After this scare, anyone was completely asleep. Seeing that his son was refreshed, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered his purpose of summoning his son.

The palace servants outside the Qianqing Palace, including Wang Chengen, only saw the candlelight swaying in the hall. The Emperor Wansui walked towards the prince and suddenly saw the prince jumping up. Then the Emperor Wansui and the Prince were talking to each other, as if they were arguing or dissuading him.

Anyway, it was far apart, and everyone couldn't hear it. Only through the candlelight in the window, I vaguely saw the shadows of the two people in the hall.

At midnight in October of the 9th year of Kaibao, Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, the Emperor of Song Dynasty, was seriously ill and summoned King Zhao Guangyi of Jin to discuss matters. The people around the world saw that Guangyi left the seat at the candlelight from afar, and there was a sign of avoidance. He also heard Taizu lead a pillar to poke the ground and said loudly: "It's easy to do, it's easy to do." King Zhao Guangyi of Later Jin succeeded to the throne and was known in history as Taizong.

There were disagreements about this incident in later generations, one said that Guangyi was plotting to murder Taizu and usurp the throne. Some said that before the Queen Mother Du passed away, Zhao Pu established a "Jinkui Alliance" with Taizu, and decided that his younger brother Guangyi would succeed him after Taizu died. Therefore, at that time, it was only Taizu who told the King of Jin that the funeral was in charge of the subsequent funeral, not that Zhao Guangyi was usurping the rebellion.

This is the famous sound of axes and candles in history. In fact, the so-called usurpation of the throne is not reliable.

It was believed that according to the customs of the Song Dynasty, the prince's addition to the Yin of the King has always been the standard for the crown prince since the Five Dynasties. In other words, as early as the sixth year of Kaibao, Zhao Guangyi was already the "King of Jin of the Yin family of Kaifeng", which was completely in line with the identity of the crown prince at that time, and was in power and involved in various affairs in the court.

On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyin's two adult sons, Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang, were just nominal governors and defensive envoys. Not only did they have no real power, they also had never participated in state affairs. This also proves that Zhao Kuangyin was intentionally spreading his brother.

Then, Zhao Kuangyin passed away that night.
