He spent the first half of his life realizing his ambitions, and the second half of his life was paying for the sins he committed in the first half of his life.
Therefore, he does not return to the vulgar, does not marry a wife or have children, does not want gold, silver and property, and does not want to be promoted to a noble.
Up to now, he only has such a temple. He goes to court during the day and lives in Jiming Temple at night, so he feels at ease.
He succeeded in the battle of Jingnan, but he also lost everything.
Friends, relatives, all left him.
Even his friend for many years, when he saw him, he just said: "The monk is wronging the country."
After that, he was cut off from justice.
Now that he is seriously ill, he wants to atone for the sins of the past even more.
"Your Majesty, I trust him."
This time, Yao Guangxiao did not mix any interests or conspiracy, and chose to support Lu Lin without any bottom line.
Yao Guangxiao's answer was so simple and illogical, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning.
"Why? What did the military division do?"
Yao Guangxiao smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't count anything."
Zhu Di's face became even more ugly, he didn't count anything, but chose to believe in Lu Lin?
"Then why do you trust him?"
"Because I have eyes, I can see that he is sincerely doing His Majesty's best."
Zhu Di was taken aback by Yao Guangxiao's words, and he naturally turned his head to look at Lu Lin, but Lu Lin didn't express his sincerity vividly, but just looked at him and smiled faintly.
"Your Majesty, you have killed enough in your life. The reason why you are afraid is because you know that you have killed too much, so you are afraid of retribution."
"But you still use the method of killing in an attempt to overcome these retributions."
Yao Guangxiao expressed Zhu Di's thoughts very straightforwardly, which made Zhu Di a little overwhelmed.
But seeing that Lu Lin didn't react at all, he guessed that like Yao Guangxiao, he had already seen through his own demons.
That's right, the inner demon, this is Zhu Di's inner demon.
He himself knew it all along, but he didn't want to face it, or rather, he didn't dare to face it.
Chapter 275 Blood Suppression
Under the attack of Lu Lin and Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Di was finally defeated.
Laughed a little sadly.
"My demons, yeah, everything is just my demons."
"But I'm just afraid, afraid that Jianwen will come back to find me, afraid of the comments of later generations, afraid that I won't be able to face my father after death."
As Zhu Di spoke, he suddenly laughed.
"People are so funny. They are not afraid when they are sleeping in a pigsty, they are not afraid when they are rebelling, and they are not afraid when they are fighting. Now that they have won and are sitting in the position of the Ninth Five Lords, they are afraid instead."
"I'm so afraid that I won't be able to eat well and sleep well. I often dream that my father will come to ask me why I rebelled, why I wanted to fight each other, and why I disobeyed him."
"Afraid, scared to death."
Zhu Di at this moment is not an emperor, but more like a child who has made a mistake, afraid of facing punishment from his parents.
Yao Guangxiao smiled lightly and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of, even if you go underground, there will still be my old monk, and you won't suffer."
Hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly burst out laughing.
"Then you have to wait for me, but you can't leave before me."
Zhu Di actually felt it too. After returning from this expedition, Yao Guangxiao's spirit was obviously not as good as before.
Moreover, his mentality seemed to have changed, and he no longer had any desire for life.
All this shows that he himself has felt that his time is approaching.
Yao Guangxiao still agreed to Zhu Di: "The old monk obeys the order."
Although Zhu Di still didn't absolutely believe in Lu Lin, nor did he completely untie his knot, but he finally calmed down his anger.
He left Jiming Temple and walked on the streets of Nanjing with Lu Lin alone, not letting anyone follow him.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Zhu Di spoke suddenly.
Lu Lin thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid."
"Why?" Zhu Di turned around and asked him, "The prince, the second child, and the third child are all afraid of me, why aren't you afraid?"
Lu Lin thought for a while, then asked him, "Then are you afraid of my own father?"
Although Lu Lin has never met his own father.
Zhu Di frowned: "I am the king of a country, why am I afraid of a grassroots?"
"So, why should I be afraid of you?"
Zhu Di was taken aback, and said, "Because I am the emperor."
"Do you think the prince and the others are afraid of you because you are the emperor?"
Instead, Zhu Di was overwhelmed by his question: "Isn't it?"
Lu Lin shook his head: "Of course not. They are afraid of you, because you are their father, and sons are afraid of their father. It is probably a characteristic of all people in the world."
"You are the king of a country, aren't you also afraid of your father?"
Your father Zhu Yuanzhang has been dead for so long, yet you are still afraid of him and dream of him in your dreams.
why?
Because he was once the king of a country?
Obviously not.
Zhu Di thought about it, and it seemed that it was true. His father was dead, but he was still afraid, thinking of it made him terrified to death.
