Chapter 389 A Tribute to Oneself



Because the guests in the inn were all very sad, they could not tolerate others eating and drinking carelessly during a time of national mourning.

So they all reprimanded Zhu Yunwen, which left him speechless.

So, having no other choice, the three of them could only put on a sorrowful expression.

But even though he knew he wasn't dead, and was sitting here eating, he still pretended to be dead.

And the fact that she had to put on a sad face made Zhu Yunwen find it inexplicably funny.

Even Zhang San and Li Si couldn't help but smile.

But they quickly restrained themselves, because they knew that if they smiled again, they might easily be beaten by the people of the Ming Dynasty present.

Clearly, Zhu Yunwen's authority was sacred and inviolable; even in death, there could be no disrespect.

After finishing a meal with immense sorrow, Zhu Yunwen, along with Zhang San and Li Si, continued to explore the streets to gather more information.

They had overheard conversations among the diners at the inn and learned that, in general, the whole country was in mourning.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty was still stable, and news came that the Ming Dynasty was going to send envoys to Chechi Kingdom to investigate. Seeing that nothing particularly serious had happened, Zhu Yunwen was relieved.

Actually, he thought that by spreading the false news of his death, he could not only help these assassins save the lives of their families, but Zhu Yunwen also wanted to see how the world would react if everyone thought he was dead.

Especially within the Ming Dynasty.

He knew that although he held great power and many people were in awe of him, no one in the court dared to oppose him.

But who knows if there are still some people with ulterior motives?

While I'm alive, they might not dare to do anything, but if they know I'm dead, they might slip up.

Therefore, this opportunity will allow Zhu Yunwen to discover these potential problems as early as possible.

Once discovered, these potential hazards can be eliminated.

He believed that there must still be some officials in the imperial court who harbored malicious intentions.

This is a good opportunity to test the waters.

It was a tragedy for the people of the world, who all believed they were dead and were plunged into grief.

Of course, the most miserable were probably Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Qingzhu. Zhu Yuanzhang was already old, and one can imagine the despair he must have been in at this moment.

Then there's Zhao Qingzhu, who loves Zhu Yuntong very much. If Zhu Yuntong were to die, she would surely go mad.

In fact, Zhao Qingzhu had been searching for Zhu Yuntong all over the village and surrounding areas during this time. He believed that Zhu Yuntong would not die so easily.

This god-like man could not possibly be killed so easily.

Besides, even if someone is really dead, we still need to see their body.

So Zhao Qingzhu kept searching. If Zhu Yunwen really died, his body wouldn't be so easy to take away. It must be somewhere around that village.

After learning about the situation on the street, Zhu Yunwen checked into an inn.

He needs to keep a close eye on the situation in the Ming Dynasty and understand the movements of all parties in order to decide how to do certain things.

A few days later, news came from the imperial court that the Ming Dynasty's envoys had set off for Chechi Kingdom to investigate the matter.

If it is confirmed that Chechi State attempted to assassinate the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, it would immediately trigger a war between the two countries.

At the same time, investigations will be conducted into other countries, since there are many possibilities for this kind of thing. Although it may have been done by Chechi Kingdom, it doesn't mean that other countries are innocent suspects.

Zhu Yunwen felt that this matter was meaningful, after all, it was a good opportunity to test the various countries.

All the countries believed that Zhu was dead. Under such circumstances, would they still submit to the Ming Dynasty?

Would they still be willing to respect and revere the Ming Dynasty?

It has to be said that Zhu Yunwen's feigned death this time really played a significant role in many ways.

Because some things, you only know after you've experienced them, and you'll know what potential problems might arise.

Zhu Yunwen is now experiencing what the world might change after his death.

It's much better to discover a problem and, if you're still alive, be able to solve it than to actually encounter a problem and be unable to resolve it.

The small town he was in was called Qingjiang Town. It had a fairly large population, but these past few days, the entire town had been filled with a sense of sadness.

In the past two days, there have been rumors that the Crown Prince's wife has recently appeared near this town.

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Yunwen was also somewhat excited. Although he wanted to continue his disguise and conceal the fact that he was alive, it would be good if he could meet Zhao Qingzhu.

So next, Zhu Yunwen took Zhang San and Li Si with him to find Zhao Qingzhu.

Unfortunately, the world is vast, and Zhao Qingzhu could not find Zhu Yuntong, nor could Zhu Yuntong encounter Zhao Qingzhu in the following days.

Until this day, the imperial court prepared to hold a memorial ceremony for Zhu Yunwen.

Rumor has it that the Crown Prince's wife did not return, but continued to search for Zhu Yunwen. Meanwhile, on that day, people, officials, and even families in many places across the Ming Dynasty spontaneously held ceremonies to commemorate Zhu Yunwen.

In this town, the village chief also held a memorial service in an ancestral hall to pay tribute to Zhu Yunwen.

After learning the news, Zhu Yunwen speculated that Zhao Qingzhu might also go.

After all, he was searching for Zhu Yunwen in the vicinity of this village.

If they couldn't return to the imperial court to attend Zhu Yunwen's memorial ceremony, they would definitely find a nearby ceremony to attend.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen also plans to attend, hoping to run into Zhao Qingzhu.

When we arrived at the place, the pond was very large and had been decorated into a very luxurious mourning hall.

Inside was a portrait of Zhu Yunwen, with an incense burner and incense sticks in front of it. Prominent figures from the town lined up to pay their respects, and many wept.

Although they found it hard to accept this fact, and although the investigation into Zhu Yunwen's death had not yet been completed.

However, the fact that he is dead is essentially irreversible.

When Zhu Yunwen arrived at the place, he couldn't squeeze in. He had no choice but to line up at the back of the mourning crowd and then go forward one by one to pay homage to Zhu Yunwen's portrait.

Only in this way could he have the opportunity to get close to Zhao Qingzhu and search for her.

This practice left Zhu Yunwen somewhat bewildered. It was one thing for him to attend his own memorial ceremony, but to also worship his own portrait was quite another. What kind of nonsense was this?
