Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 138 Who said the prince is weak? More ruthless than his father
The market entrance is bustling with people.

Every time there is an execution, this place always attracts countless people to stop and watch. Today, the prince's chariot came to the scene in person, which made the scene even more solemn and solemn.

Everyone turned their attention to the young man kneeling on the execution platform, all curious.

who is this? What crime was committed? Do you need the prince to personally supervise the execution?
Fourth Master Zhu, who had just come out of the back hill of the academy, was also in the crowd with Zhu Di. He was also curious: "Who is the unlucky one?"

Zhu Di recognized Zhu Huan who was kneeling there and said coldly: "It should be the emperor's nephew Zhu Huan!"

"How do you know this?"

Fourth Master Zhu was surprised. He also remembered the last time Mao Xiang said that he would send people to Dingyuan. He did not expect it to be so soon. "The prince will behead! It seems that he wants to tell the world that the Zhu family's sword will kill the Zhu family first!"

Bang bang bang!
The drums sounded, and Zhu Huan, who was kneeling on the execution platform, was already frightened out of his mind. He begged with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, you can't kill me! My father will plead for me. You Zhu family have suffered greatly from my father. kindness."

Zhu Biao waved his hand suddenly, and the whole place fell into silence.

He slightly gestured to Mao Xiang beside him, and Mao Xiang immediately stood up and publicly exposed Zhu Huan's identity and all his evil deeds in Dingyuan County.

Everyone exclaimed that this person turned out to be the emperor's nephew.

His Highness Zhu Biao stood up and said righteously: "Although Zhu Huan is a relative of the emperor, he has violated the national law and should be punished accordingly. The prince's crime is the same as that of the common people! Today, I want to kill him as a warning to others. Let's start with Zhu Huan. Start with your family! Of all the corrupt officials in the world, I will never let one go!"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in everyone's ears.

Fourth Master Zhu’s eyes fell on the young prince.

The "History of the Ming Dynasty" says that Prince Zhu Biao is weak, and it seems to have been tampered with. How could the successor Zhu Yuanzhang favored be a weak person?
He clearly has the appearance of an emperor.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to see Zhu Liujiu.

Zhu Liujiu was soberer today and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the common people have been in Beijing for many days. It is time to return to Fengyang."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and signaled that he did not have to worry: "Brother, wait a moment. We intend to return to Fengyang to worship our ancestors soon, so you can go with me."

However, he was troubled in his heart.

How to tell Zhu Liujiu about his son? He will definitely plead for his son, so what should we do?
The national law is ruthless, and the crimes Zhu Huan committed were enough to kill him several times.

But if I kill him, my brother will have no descendants.

But if you don’t kill him, how can you convince the public? Only by killing him can we not only uphold the law of the country, but also deter all corrupt officials in the world.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was struggling, eunuch Wang Jinghong came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the prince wants to see you."

"Ask for a meeting? He can just come in by himself." Zhu Yuanzhang was in a irritable mood and waved his hand.

At this moment, Prince Zhu Biao hurried in and knelt directly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, I just personally executed my cousin Zhu Huan, please forgive me."

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.

Zhu Liujiu on the side was also stunned, and then his expression changed drastically: "Beheaded my son? What happened? Isn't my son in Dingyuan?"

With tears in his eyes, Zhu Biao quickly stated Zhu Huan's crimes one by one.

Zhu Liujiu felt as if he was struck by lightning as he listened. He was dizzy for a while and then fell unconscious.

Seeing that Zhu Liujiu fainted and died, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a hurry: "Come here, hurry up and send the imperial doctor!"

The eunuchs helped Zhu Liujiu to the soft couch, and soon the imperial doctor came over for treatment.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Liujiu was frightened and passed out. It's not serious. He will wake up later." The imperial doctor frowned, "But he was already suffering from dementia. If he does this, it will be more serious."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

I thought that if Zhu Liujiu lost his memory, it might be better to not suffer any pain. Then I would buy him a house in the capital and settle him down properly.

"You all should stand down." Zhu Yuanzhang waved.

The eunuchs, palace maids and imperial doctors all retreated, leaving only their father and son in the palace, and Zhu Liujiu, who was still sleeping.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Biao'er, you did a good job this time."

Zhu Biao knelt down and bowed: "My son didn't want to embarrass my father, so I went to kill Zhu Huan privately and asked my father to forgive me."

"What are you guilty of?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly, and then his eyes suddenly became sharp and murderous, "We will continue to kill people until the corrupt officials in the world can't sleep or eat well and shudder."

……

Prime Minister's House.

Although the sun is scorching, it cannot hide the depth of the courtyard, and the breeze flows through it, like a whisper.

Li Shanchang was sitting on the edge of the pond, feeding the fish leisurely. With a flick of his fingers, the fish feed was scattered like stars, causing the pond water to surge and the fish to compete for food.

He enjoys the feeling of being in control of the overall situation.

"Master Xiangguo, you are very leisurely."

All the generals in Huaixi came to visit Prime Minister Li Shanchang. They stepped into the courtyard one after another and saluted Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang smiled slightly, and there was a hint of depth and cunning in that smile. He raised his hand to signal everyone to take their seats, while the maids lightly offered fragrant hot tea to the generals.

"Prime Minister, something big happened today!" Tang Shengzong said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally executed Zhu Huan, and the people applauded."

"Oh?" Li Shanchang was surprised.

Tang Shengzong quickly told the story of Zhu Huan's case.

After Li Shanchang heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes and he frowned slightly: "The prince is so young, but he is so decisive, but the method is a bit cruel. After all, he is his cousin."

Tang Shengzong nodded in agreement: "Who says it's not the case! Haha, although the prince is young, he has the air of a majesty."

There was a bit of admiration in his words, but also a bit of sarcasm.

"The prince's move is telling everyone in the world."

Li Shanchang stopped for a moment, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "His sword has killed even the Zhu family, and he will not let go of anyone who is corrupt and perverts the law. You all in Fengyang, please restrain yourself." "Hmph! We! All the merits are achieved with swords and guns on the battlefield." Tang Shengzong snorted, "Besides, have we violated the Ming Law?"

He turned to look at Lu Zhongheng, who had been silent.

Lu Zhongheng seemed to have just come to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, why don't we just buy some fields? We conquered this world."

Huaixi has great honors and arrogant soldiers.

This was a word invented by Liu Bowen. At this moment, Li Shanchang felt the same. These people thought they were the emperor's pao brother and thought they should enjoy glory and wealth.

Now, we still have to fight, but Your Majesty can still bear it.

What happens after the world is settled?

The birds are all good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the good dogs are cooking. I'm afraid they can't escape.

Li Shanchang frowned deeply.

He was thinking about how to protect himself and use the generals to build momentum for himself.

Although the emperor has been delaying the knighthood, the knighthood will come sooner or later. When the time comes, who will become the first Duke of the founding of the country, it must be Li Shanchang.

"Drink tea, drink tea." He smiled and raised his hand to signal.

Tang Shengzong glanced at Lu Zhongheng beside him and asked, "Old Lu, why are you a little absent-minded? Is there something on your mind?"

Lu Zhongheng shook his head.

In fact, he had been frightened recently.

Because the leader of the Earth Sect, Yu Qingzi, died, but Yu Qingzi gave him three corpse brain pills. If there is no antidote next year, he will die.

He thought about where to find the antidote for the Three Corpses Brain Pill, but he could only do this in secret.

……

Xuanwu Academy was filled with the sound of reading.

It is already summer, and next February will be the first imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone is preparing for the imperial examination.

Although there were only four people, Han Yike, Zheng Shiyuan, Chu Xiangyu and Song Li, they were reading loudly, as if they were competing with each other, each one louder than the other.

Fourth Master Zhu closed his eyes and rested under a tree nearby.

The Book of Luck in his mind was flickering, absorbing Haoran Qi.

The study of the academy disciples can automatically help them practice. This is the purpose of establishing the academy.

There are still few disciples, but the effect will be better if there are more.

He once asked rough guys from the Beggar Clan to study, but unfortunately, it didn't work. The Book of Luck still had certain requirements for its disciples, and those who couldn't read would definitely not be able to do it.

"Lao Luo, where did you write?" Fourth Master Zhu sat up and shouted.

"I wrote ten more times." Luo Guanzhong came over.

"There are 120 chapters in total. In what year and month did you write?" Mr. Zhu was speechless.

"How do you know it's Chapter 120? I don't even know." Luo Guanzhong rolled his eyes.

"Lao Luo, I know a lot." Fourth Master Zhu picked up a cup of tea, "You, work hard, you may be more famous than Zhu Yuanzhang in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, an angry scolding came: "How dare you! Do you dare to call His Majesty by his first name?"

Lu Ben came with a group of Imperial College students, menacingly, as if they were seeking revenge.

Fourth Master Zhu smiled lazily: "Lu Ben! Did you go out without taking your medicine? Come to my academy and bark."

Lu Ben was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

"I'm here to inspect. The Imperial College has the right to supervise academies in various places." He said coldly.

"Let's check it?" Mr. Zhu spread his hands.

Tie Xuan was also among the students of the Imperial College.

He looked around and said to Lu Ben: "Sir, the building specifications, wood materials, and standards of the school and dormitories of Xuanwu Academy are better than those of our Imperial College. There is nothing to check."

Lu Ben was full of old blood.

Fourth Master Zhu wrote lightly: "Food and lodging are free. There is no other way. I have plenty of money."

Lu Ben took another mouthful of old blood.

Zide beside him snorted: "You don't even have a decent gentleman, why should you return to the academy?"

Fourth Master Zhu has an old blood.

What's more, this little bastard Zi De is so accurate.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived~"

A group of people came over surrounded by Prince Zhu Biao.

Lu Ben and the Imperial College students were shocked and quickly bowed to greet him. They were wondering, why is His Royal Highness here?

Zhu Biao's smile was as gentle as jade, and he raised his hand to tell everyone not to be polite.

"I came here today specifically to ask the dean for advice." Zhu Biao walked towards Fourth Master Zhu with a smile.

Fourth Master Zhu was still sitting on the chair with no intention of getting up to greet him.

Lu Ben was full of old blood again. The prince came all the way to Xuanwu Academy to ask that reckless man for advice? Doesn’t this make the master of the East Palace very incompetent?
"Your Highness, would you like to ask me how to kill someone?" Mr. Zhu finally stood up.

"It's not impossible." Zhu Biao smiled, "Of course, the main thing is the seven major events of this dynasty that the dean said last time."

That's it!

Fourth Master Zhu held his forehead. Those were all online articles I read based on my previous life. They were just comparing nonsense.
