King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

As soon as Zhu Youtang passed away, Empress Zhang felt that her son was not a good person.

The girl angrily punched Tangtang hard with her fist and complained: "Can't you let me feel at ease? I finally got some rest, can't you take a good rest?"

Empress Dowager Zhou, Concubine Shao and others had different expressions, but most of them were disdainful.

As for Wang Yan, she had complete trust in Chu Tian. It was impossible for her to do such a heinous thing. There must be someone behind it.

However, she couldn't explain for Zhu Tan, otherwise she would be exposed!
Zhu Tan was severely spanked more than ten times and felt that his buttocks were about to be broken. However, this slap made his originally confused mind completely clear.

He looked at the faces around him, and suddenly, he saw Zhang Yuanying.

Zhang Yuanying looked at Meng Qi thoughtfully.

"Paralyzed!"

Zhu Tan cursed loudly. Even if Zhang Yuanying did not do this, he definitely knew the inside story. However, he only said this before being carried away by several eunuchs.

From the palace to the prince's mansion, everyone was panicked when they saw this scene.

Ma Yuexian, Shen Qionglian and others had different expressions when they saw that Zhu Tan's clothes were covered with blood.

Ma Yuexian started crying. As the saying goes, serving the king is like serving a tiger. Even the closest people should be guarded against.

Shen Qionglian knew what kind of person Zhu Youtang was. He would never beat Tang Yilan for no reason. There must be something about Zhu Tan that Zhu Youtang could not tolerate.

The remaining few, such as Lu Zhu and Jiang Ning, looked panicked.

Mancang'er even knelt down on the ground, muttering something, as if he was praying to some immortal, praying for Zhu Tan. Presumably, many immortals had come.

"Alright! I'm still alive! Go get my little box."

Zhu Tan ordered someone to bring a box and take out the prepared wine.

Ma Yuexian is very clear about this and knows how to use it.

She suppressed her inner shame. Besides, since everyone here was Zhu Tan's wife, there was no need to be shy. She took off Zhu Tan's clothes and exposed her broken body.

The women looked over and saw that she only had one open wound on her body and her entire body was bruised and purple.

Fortunately, the wound was not very deep and not very serious.

Zhu Tan endured the pain of cleaning the wound with alcohol. When Ma Yuexian and others said that the cleaning was completed, he applied the medicine on their bodies.

It took him more than an hour to get the job done, and he finally calmed down.

"Where is Zhang Wei? Ask him to get me a famous doctor."

Not long after, Zhu Tan lay on the bed and asked the doctor who was called over.

“Is there a power that makes people lose themselves? Tell me about it.”

Zhu Tan had studied Western medical surgery and was not familiar with it. He only remembered the red umbrella and the white pole.

The Marquis smelled the scent of lychee. I am almost certain that this is the scent of wild lychee kernels. Wild lychee kernels can also cause mental confusion, and roasting them over fire can also have an effect on people. "

Zhu Tan understood what was happening, and ordered someone to bring dozens of taels of silver to the doctor, then frowned and rolled his eyes.

This time, he fell into a trap. If he wanted to start the investigation from the wild lychees, it would be impossible because the mastermind had erased all the evidence.

Those little actors were probably used to frame himself and Zhu Houzhao. Even if they were all killed, the people behind them wouldn't even frown.

However, Zhu Tan could be sure that there must be someone in the palace secretly helping him, otherwise he would not have fallen into such a situation.

And she was not just an ordinary young lady, or a powerful concubine in the palace like Concubine Shao, or a high-ranking eunuch in the palace.

He killed Jiang Lun first, then killed Yang Peng and his nephew, which would inevitably offend all the eunuchs. Even He Wendi, who had a good relationship with him, would probably have objections.

It was already late at night, and Zhu Tan did not let his wife stay here, but went to sleep first.

Only Man Cang'er refused and insisted on staying here, and Zhu Tan let her do as she pleased.

"Master, this is a lotus seed."

Man Cang'er held a tiny tea worm in his hand, put a lotus seed in his mouth, chewed it lightly with his jade teeth, and was about to put it into Zhu Tan's mouth.

Zhu Tan was both angry and amused, and said, "I was just beaten up, not disabled. Are you cursing me, you little bitch?"

Man Cang'er insisted on feeding the lotus to Zhu Tan, saying, "Sir, I have little education and came from a brothel, so I can only make you smile. You are not in good health now. If you have any success, I will definitely treat you well and make you happy."

Zhu Tan didn’t think there was anything wrong with this sentence, but a thought flashed through his mind.

"You have been in the brothel for two years, so you must know something about it."

"Of course. One of the women Yuan Lin invited for me was from one of the most famous theater troupes in the capital."

"Tomorrow, ask Jia Zhang to go with you and ask around. There's a theater troupe there, and most of the actors there are young people around 11 or 12 years old."

Mancang blurted out, "Of course I'm talking about the Yuanling Society. They are the only ones who can make money with these artists. Yuan Lin and his wife also said that the Yuanling Society has a great background. It is said that the person is from the royal family and his name is Ma Juntong."

Zhu Tan responded and guessed that Mancang was referring to the captain. After hearing her say that, he realized that she could actually use the official title to represent the person. She was indeed a genius.

If this is true, then are Princess Yixing and her wife behind all this?
What a deep hatred!
Zhu Tan just wanted to stop Ma Cheng from causing trouble for Wang Yuan's family, but now he is being targeted?
Deep down in his heart, Chu Mu still believed that Zhang Yuanying was the most likely one. After all, before leaving the palace, Zhang Yuanying had a strange smile on his face, just like Sinuo's smile in Tang Ren's case!
The presence of Man Cang'er, the little girl who was full of vulgar words, did relieve a lot of loneliness. Zhu Tan fell asleep gradually while thinking about it.

Mancang supported his chin with one hand and muttered to himself.

"It's not that easy to deal with the royal family! Luckily I didn't hit him directly, otherwise..."

When she thought of her idea, Man Cangzi was shocked, then burst into laughter. While Zhu Tan was asleep, she lay on the bed, bent over and stayed up all night.

At the same time, Empress Zhang was crying in Zhu Youtang's bedroom.

This time, she did not defend her brother, but she knew what impact it would have if her child lost his Yuanyang, and it might even lead to the extinction of his family line.

Zhu Youtang just stood at the window, as if staring at the candle, without even lifting his eyelids. Empress Zhang then realized that something was wrong with Zhu Youtang, and said in horror: "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youtang turned around and said to Empress Zhang, whose face was covered with tears, "I sent people to beat Ah Shou and Marquis Jianchang. Are you very sad?"

Empress Zhang nodded vigorously and shook her head violently again.

"I am so angry. They are really bullying me too much. How can I make them remember their lesson if I don't beat them up?"

Zhu Youtang said: "This time, I am worried that the uncle and nephew were framed. I was confused just now, but now that I think about it, there are indeed many suspicious points!"

He has lived in the harem since he was a child and has seen too many conspiracies and intrigues.

His biological mother, the eunuch Zhang Min who raised him, also died in the palace fighting.

He knew that his father, Emperor Xianzong, had used all means to fight for the throne, and his favor towards him was obvious to all.

Zhu Youtang was furious, and on his way back he realized that his son and brother-in-law had fallen into a trap.

The only suspicious thing is that the smell is similar to that of lychee seeds, which can confuse people's minds. He saw it with his own eyes, and it was done by Concubine Wan herself!
Empress Zhang was shocked. "Your Majesty, are you really going to kill the prince? Who is so bold? I will cut him into pieces and execute his entire family."

Zhu Youtang shook his head. Guessing was one thing, but finding out the truth was another matter.

Moreover, this matter cannot be made too big a deal.

"I won't kill him. The one who will kill him should be Marquis Jianchang! He has made a lot of enemies recently. Many people are waiting to see him make a fool of himself, and many people also hope that he will be unpopular. Beating them up this time can be considered as giving him a way out."

Zhu Youtang read a lot of memorials about Chu Han's interference in state affairs. Obviously, his brother-in-law had caused a great stir in the court.

This is a good opportunity to suppress public opinion and make plans later.

There was the sound of footsteps, and it turned out that the newly appointed East Factory Governor Luo Yin walked in.

"These are wild lychees, which are left by the poultry farm. I don't know who brought them in. The actors were sitting near the poultry, so it couldn't be intentional. They also smelled the fragrance of wild lychees, so they reacted like this."

As Luo Yin spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and took out the lychee seeds from it.

Zhu Youtang took the box and looked at it carefully.

"It wasn't long. He must have stayed there for quite some time. You should investigate carefully. Don't let the matter become public. It will cause trouble if it gets out."

"understood."

Luo Yin said cautiously that he had entered the palace during the reign of Emperor Xianzong and had personally experienced the various dangers in the palace at that time.

Such a prescription is definitely not a good thing. Sooner or later, someone will die from it.

Luo Yin guessed that this incident was most likely directed at his uncle, Marquis Jianchang. Those who were dissatisfied with him in the palace might be Yang Peng's confidants, or the deceased Li Guang's subordinates, or even some unexpected characters.

You can't say this kind of thing casually, otherwise it will implicate him.

"Tomorrow morning, please invite Zhu Guang to attend the morning court meeting."

Zhu Youtang didn't want to make a big deal out of this, so he still had to investigate. He wanted to see what the new leader of the Jinyiwei could do!
What happened in the palace was not made known to anyone because of Zhu Youtang's order, otherwise, Uncle Zhang would definitely be scolded.

As the protagonist of the incident, Zhang Yuanying would certainly not be stupid enough to expose herself.

She thought Zhu Tan could guess that it was her, but it was just a guess. She just needed to confuse Zhu Tan and divert her suspicion to other places.

Because the gates of the palace were closed, Zhang Yuanying and others could not get out, and Zhu Tan's privileges were not something she could have.

Zhang Yuanying said, "Are you all done?"

Her maid came back with a small box, "Girl, everything is ready!"

"Let's go! Let's take a look at him first. We'll use the medicine passed down in our family and he'll be well in no time."

Zhang Yuanying smiled and led the maid to Youchunfang where Zhu Houzhao lived.

Zhu Houzhao was beaten less severely than Chu Qianqian, but he was young after all, and he also suffered a lot.

He had no idea what was going on and why he was being beaten for no reason.
Liu Jin and others also received the news from Zhu Houzhao and rushed over. When they saw Zhu Houzhao lying on the bed groaning, they all looked heartbroken.

The Eight Tigers were all eunuchs, the oldest of whom was in his forties. Having stayed in the palace for a long time and seen a lot, they were less worried about Zhu Houzhao and focused their attention on this matter.

Liu Jin frowned and said with certainty: "It must be the trouble caused by Marquis Jianchang that has implicated the prince. There are several people hiding in the dark in the palace who are all plotting against Marquis Jianchang, so they have implicated the prince as well."

Zhang Yong and others also thought it made sense. After all, with his status, no one in the palace would do anything to harm him.

Gu Dayong smacked his lips.

"At this point, there is no point in saying more. Let's find the people first. They are all going after the Crown Prince and Marquis Jianchang. Isn't it easy for them to kill us?
The twenty-four departments are different from the eunuch system of the Ming Dynasty. There are no strict institutional requirements. Their main responsibility is to serve the emperor and his family. However, over time, most of them will be appointed as eunuchs, so they are often misled by modern society.

However, the vast majority of officials were from the Imperial Household Department, eunuchs, eunuchs, and eunuchs. These people were the closest people to the emperor.

If these people really had any ill intentions towards Liu Jin and others, then Liu Jin and others would have no choice but to surrender.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Liu Jin.

Not only did Zhu Houzhao look at Liu Jin differently, but the others also knew that Liu Jin was smart and had many clever ideas.

Liu Jin did not disappoint them. He said sharply, "We have indeed been bullied, but the Marquis is not a prince, nor is he the Marquis of Jianchang. In addition, there are several eunuchs in the palace who have a close relationship with him, and He Wending is one of them. Now that the two princes are injured, it is a good opportunity for us to show our strength."

When Liu Jin said this, he suddenly rolled his eyes and whispered something to Zhang Yong and others.

As he was speaking, a eunuch came in to report that the granddaughter of the Duke of England had come to visit.

This kind of visit cannot be stopped. Liu Jin and his friends don't want to anger the people in the Duke of Ying's Mansion, so they have to keep smiling on their faces.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Yuanying has some royal blood! (End of this chapter)
