Give them a little funny shock

Chapter 652: Strange Things in the Capital (V)

However, even so, the Huang family's mansion is more magnificent than many imperial palaces of the same period in the non-supernatural world.

Anyway, to be honest, it is not inferior to the Ming Dynasty Palace in Xu Lun’s hometown.

However, after all, it is just a civil building, so under normal circumstances, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the laws of the Ming Dynasty in this world, ordinary civil residences must not exceed three floors, and the height must not exceed fifteen meters.

If you want to build a tower or other high-rise civilian building, you need to report to the government first, and you can only break ground after obtaining permission.

The tallest building in the capital is a Buddhist pagoda, which was built by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang a few years ago after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. It was said that it was for praying for the people. It is 81 meters high and has nine floors, with each floor being nine meters high.

However, when building this pagoda, the same evil-expelling incident occurred when the workers built Ming Zhongdu for Zhu Yuanzhang.

This incident naturally made Zhu Yuanzhang furious, and this time, there was no one like Xue Xiang who risked his life to advise the workers.

That incident implicated more than 113,000 people in total. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the extermination of all the craftsmen who participated in the project. It was the largest case with the highest death toll since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, even far exceeding the Hu Weiyong case in the late Hongwu period.

Of course, this case does not exist in the Ming Dynasty in another universe. It is a special case of this extraordinary Ming Dynasty.

There is also a tower in the Huang family mansion, which is used to place the tablets of their Li family ancestors. It is three stories high and 18 meters high. This tower was specially built by Zhu Yuanzhang, who even helped to pay for it.

From this we can see that Zhu Yuanzhang really cared about this "old subordinate" of his.

The old man of the Huang family didn't have much ability, nor did he hold any high official position. He had always been Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guard. His only advantage was that he was extremely loyal, and his loyalty was beyond words.

Therefore, in terms of how much he is favored by His Majesty, he is not inferior at all.

There was no threat and no ability. Therefore, even in the later period when Zhu Yuanzhang was sick and killing people, Old Master Huang was still not affected at all, and even received more rewards from Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, this old minister was also treated with courtesy by Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Yongle. The amount of gold, silver and treasures given to Old Master Huang's family every year was even more than that during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was still very rich at that time, and just these few gold and silver treasures were nothing compared to those official positions that were conferred.

In order to win over this veteran bodyguard who was deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Yongle even issued a golden medal of immunity from death to his descendants.

Although everyone knows that, according to historical records, this kind of thing is often useless. When it comes to death, this thing is just a piece of scrap metal.

Wu Yun didn't care at all about how big or luxurious the Li family mansion was. The only thing he cared about was food.

He came here for only one purpose, and that was to eat.

And take a look at the quality of this family and see if we can get something good out of them.

As for other things, maybe he could kill some people? Kill the entire Huang family from top to bottom, and then all the Huang family's assets would be his.

As he thought about this, Wu Yun couldn't help but get excited, and he enjoyed his meal even more.

Speaking of which, although Mr. Huang is over 90 years old, he is still young at heart. In the Huang family mansion, Wu Yun has seen many girls wearing light clothes, frivolous postures, and flashy clothes just during the meal. One advantage of ancient times is that the social atmosphere is more open than modern society. Yes, more open than modern society.

Of course, only the 'upper class' of society.

Although the law requires monogamy, in addition to the wife, there are still concubines. In addition to concubines, there are still slaves. In addition to slaves, there are even servants.

A man can have many women, as well as many male prostitutes. This is considered a hobby of the "upper class" in this land.

And because it is a supernatural world, people are very tolerant of women having several lovers at the same time.

This can also be considered a kind of "refined hobby". Even in the Tang Dynasty, although it is a bit far away, in the Tang Dynasty, it was common for father-in-law to cheat on his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law to cheat on her son-in-law.

Name Wu Zhao, name Guo Shufei, name someone...

Although the Song Dynasty, which succeeded the Tang Dynasty, made a strong moral criticism of the things that happened in the previous dynasty, in fact, such things also happened in their own country, and there were quite a few of them.

Of course, the historical processes of different universes are naturally different. What happened in one universe does not mean that it will happen in another universe.

For example, Zhao Guangyi sold hooks, and Zhu Yuanzhang sold... ahem, I'm getting off topic.

Well, Zhu Yuanzhang in this universe never sold hooks. But Zhu Yuanzhang in this universe also died early. He died not long after handling the major cases in the late Hongwu period.

To be precise, Zhu Yuanzhang died inexplicably just two months after the Lan Yu case was handled.

There are different versions of Zhu Yuanzhang's death among the people and in the court, but the royal family has never given an official explanation, only saying that he died, without even saying the reason.

Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral was also extremely simple, and even the concubines he had requested to be buried with him were not among the few. However, no one knew where they had gone.

This is a huge mystery, and the truth is unknown. I am afraid it will be forever buried in the mist of history.
Should, maybe, possibly.

After breakfast, Wu Yun strolled along a corridor, admiring the colorful fish in the pond on the right. While appreciating the beautiful scenery, Wu Yun burped for a long time.

"belch--"

There were only Zhong Ling and Wu Yun in the corridor.

As he was walking, Wu Yun suddenly stopped, raised his head and took a look, but only a glance. Then he continued to walk forward.

He didn't say what he saw, and Zhong Ling, who was following behind him, didn't ask. But the worry on Zhong Ling's face was becoming more and more intense.

Some things are safer when we don't know them than when we know them, even if it's just a little bit.

Once you know it, even if it is just the tip of the iceberg, it means you are already deeply trapped in it and can no longer get out.
