Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Not long after the two little princesses left, the Liao brothers came with several eunuchs from the Etiquette Bureau.

It takes one evil person to deal with another evil person, and there is no need for Zhu Xiongying to lower his status to argue with some eunuchs and palace maids.

Several ferocious eunuchs from the Etiquette Bureau showed awe and respect when they saw Zhu Xiongying.

"Servants, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Grandson."

Zhu Xiongying hummed indifferently and said, "Come with me to Qingyi Palace."

After Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, he walked towards Qingyi Palace with his hands behind his back.

When several young eunuchs in the palace saw the ferocious-looking officials from the Etiquette Bureau, they were so frightened that their teeth were chattering.

"This servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Grandson."

Zhu Xiongying asked calmly, "Where are Princess Nanping and Princess Yilun?"

Several eunuchs listened from behind.

Leng Wang was instantly frightened and said hurriedly: "The maids in the palace, lock up...lock up the princess."

Zhu Xiongying frowned: "Why?"

"Say, there are two little princesses running around, and we need to teach them some manners."

Zhu Xiongying said, "Lead the way."

The eunuchs of Qingyi Palace cleared the way ahead with trembling legs.

The eunuchs from the Etiquette Bureau seemed to understand what His Royal Highness the Grandson wanted to do.

This is an opportunity to show off. If he does well, he might even be able to get the position of Chief Eunuch of the Etiquette Bureau.

As a result, the looks of several eunuchs from the Etiquette Bureau became even more ferocious.

Not long after.

The eunuchs of Qingyi Palace brought Zhu Xiongying to a side hall.

Two old maids were sitting in front of the door, talking and laughing. The door of the house behind them was closed and there was no light inside.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying coming, the two maids immediately stood up and said in fear and trepidation: "Your servants, pay your respects to His Royal Highness the Grandson."

Zhu Xiongying hummed, "Where's the princess? She just came back from where I was and didn't bring any cakes. Where is she?"

The two old maids were stunned for a moment.

They had never thought that the emperor's eldest grandson would pay attention to Qingyi Palace, so they said in a cold sweat and trembling with fear: "Princess, Princess..."

Zhu Xiongying asked coldly: "Where?"

The two old maids knelt on the ground hurriedly: "Go back, Your Highness, lock him up in the inner room."

Zhu Xiongying said "oh" and looked up at the dark house, seeming to be thinking about something.

Zhu Xiongying knows very well how much harm it can cause to children if they are locked up in a confined space since childhood!
They are princesses of the Ming Dynasty, or at worst, their own sisters.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at the two old maids indifferently, and said to the eunuchs from the etiquette department behind him: "Take everyone to the etiquette department and have them check again to see if there are any palace maids or eunuchs who have embezzled money. Once found, they will all be beaten!"

Zhu Xiongying's voice was not loud, but his words were so creepy.

Several Rakshasas from the Etiquette Bureau rolled up their sleeves and shouted, "We obey your orders."

"Your Highness, please spare me... Spare me! I know my crime, Your Highness, I won't do it again!"

Zhu Xiongying was too lazy to pay attention to them. He gently pushed open the door and saw the two little princesses snuggling together, obviously asleep on the bed.

Zhu Xiongying lit the lamp.

Looking at the two sisters snuggling together pitifully, he seemed to recall his past.

He blew out the light, tiptoed out and closed the door quietly.

But he didn't know that the two little girls were not asleep.

After Zhu Xiongying left, the two sensible little girls tiptoed to the door and continued to secretly listen to the noise outside.

Zhu Xiongying is in the courtyard.

A nameless rage rose in her heart, and she angrily said to the eunuch of the Etiquette Bureau, "Go and get people to deal with all the unruly maids in Qingyi Palace and replace them with a group of sensible and obedient palace maids."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

With the appearance of the Etiquette Bureau, screams were heard one after another in the Qingyi Palace, and the mournful sounds of people kowtowing for mercy were incessant.

Tonight, Zhu Xiongying is cleaning the East Palace!
Countless eunuchs and servants changed color when they mentioned the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying, and everyone trembled!
From tonight on, all the servants began to understand one thing: the East Palace had officially changed its owner!
"Second sister, big brother is so awesome."

"Yeah, big brother is awesome."

Inside the room, two little girls were staring at Zhu Xiongying outside, their eyes bright and excited in the darkness.

The owner of the East Palace changed tonight, and it was after Zhu Xiongying took over the East Palace.

This was the first time such a drastic measure was used.

Some time ago, since Zhu Xiongying entered the Eastern Palace, he has been busy with various things and has not found the time to properly manage the Eastern Palace.

Tonight I'm taking a break from my busy schedule and setting up some rules for the East Palace.

……

the other side.

After reviewing the memorials for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back on the Huchuang in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, holding a military book in his hand and reading it with great interest.

In front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Jiang Li was talking about the situation in the Eastern Palace in great detail.

After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang placed the hand holding the military book on his curled up knees and looked at Jiang Lin with a calm expression.

"The slaves of the East Palace are truly rebelling against the heaven."

"No matter what, Yilun and Nanping are our granddaughters. When will they be able to ride on the master's head?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Jiang Lin unhappily, "Go to the Etiquette Bureau again and tell them to bury all the palace maids and eunuchs in Qingyi Palace alive."

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he showed no sympathy. His words were extremely calm, and it was obvious that he had dealt with this kind of thing many times.

Jiang Li said indifferently: "I obey your order."

When it comes to dealing with slaves and servants, the old man is very decisive and his methods are much tougher than Zhu Xiongying's!
Zhu Xiongying could only be beaten to death at most, but the old man was even more cruel and ruthless, and buried him alive!
at the same time.

The Rakshasas from the Harem Etiquette Bureau rushed out and headed straight for the East Palace.

Compared to the chaotic East Palace, the Harem and the Six Palaces are quite quiet.

It's late at night and the lights are dim.

In every palace.

There are lights flickering everywhere, and through the windows, you can see small figures sitting facing the lights in the night.

This is a scene that has never happened before.

These little princes of Zhu Yuanzhang were allowed to play cockfighting, bird walking, and they could go crazy until midnight.

But asking them to read until midnight is simply an impossible thing, but the impossible happened tonight.

Every little prince was reading in a low voice: "The way of the university is to manifest the bright virtue, to love the people, and to stop at the highest good."

They need to memorize the entire chapter of "The Great Learning" of the Book of Rites, otherwise there will be no Journey to the West to listen to tomorrow.

Even the youngest Ying Prince Zhu Dong, who had a snotty nose, had an extremely serious look on his face.

Zhu Xiongying just said it casually, wanting to get rid of these troublesome little kids.

But who would have thought that the perseverance of these children was beyond Zhu Xiongying's imagination.

Late at night.

Tang Yu Zhu Zhi was the first to stretch with an excited smile on his face.

He finished memorizing it. He finally finished memorizing "The Great Learning"!
Next up were Prince of Shen Zhu Mo and Prince of Ying Zhu Dong.

It's already late at night.

These naughty kids finally lay down on the bed exhausted and entered Chu Township with happy smiles on their faces.

……

The next day, it was another clear, blue morning.

Zhu Xiongying got up early, practiced boxing, washed up, and ate breakfast as usual.

While having breakfast,

The Liao brothers came over and whispered, "The old man has taken action again."

"Qingyi Palace, all palace maids and eunuchs..."

After a pause, the Liao brothers' cheeks twitched slightly, and then they continued: "Were they all buried alive?"

Zhu Xiongying paused, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at the Liao brothers with a gloomy expression.

He thought he was cruel enough.

but,

Compared with the old man, what am I?

"understood."

The Liao brothers nodded and left on their own.

After finishing his breakfast, Zhu Xiongying went to the Imperial College again.

Walking along the long red-walled corridor of the East Palace, Zhu Xiongying was pondering in his heart how he could escape the shackles of the Imperial College.

He couldn't spend every day on meaningless classes.

Zhu Xiongying walked while thinking about how to leave the Imperial College.

It was still early when we arrived at the Imperial College.

Zhu Xiongying walked to the school as planned. The school was very quiet, with only Zhu Yunwen flipping through a book.

Zhu Xiongying came, but he pretended not to notice her and continued to study hard.

At this moment, Zhu Xiongying did not disturb Zhu Yunwen, but walked to the back row and sat down.

Time passes minute by minute.

the strange thing is.

The three little brats, King Ying, King Shen and King Tang, never arrived.

Not long after, Qi Tai walked into the school with a stern face and dignity as usual.

Just as the class was about to start, Qi Tai looked around the classroom and immediately frowned.

Not long after, Qi Tai said angrily, "Your Highness the Imperial Grandson."

Qi Tai asked, "Why didn't the Tang King and his men come?"

Zhu Yunwen looked back and shook his head, "Teacher, I don't know."

"But big brother, you should know that last night Uncle Twenty-one and the others seemed to be listening to stories at Brother Tai's place."

Zhu Yunwen added.

Zhu Xiongying raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Yunwen's back without making any excuses.

"Your Highness, if the teaching is not strict, it is the teacher's laziness."

"I consider myself to be very hardworking. I dare not be lazy. They are still young, and it is the best age for them to know right from wrong and behave properly."

"You are destroying my reputation. You should blame me for my integrity!"

After that, he looked at Zhu Yunwen again and said, "Your Highness, skipping classes is a serious matter. These princes are honest and decent people, but they are skipping classes collectively. I am afraid it will bring shame to the royal family. You should go to the palace quickly and ask the emperor to come and tell you what is right and wrong!"

amount.

Zhu Xiongying stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Master Qi, this is not a big deal, right? There is no need to disturb Grandpa Huang. I think it's just that a few children overslept and will be here soon. Just punish them. There's no need to disturb Grandpa Huang."

It wasn't a big deal, but Qi Tai insisted on making a big deal out of it.

Those children were still young, and if the old man with a bad temper found out about this, they would definitely be severely beaten.

Qi Tai ignored Zhu Xiongying and said to Zhu Yunwen, "Your Highness, please go quickly and come back soon."

Zhu Yunwen stood up and nodded, "Yes, teacher!"

Saying,

Zhu Yunwen left the school in a hurry.

Qi Tai looked at the sparsely packed princes and grandchildren in the school and hummed, "Keep studying."

"The way of the university is to manifest the bright virtue..."

early morning,

Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant.

The sound of reading aloud filled the Imperial Academy of the Imperial College.

Zhu Xiongying looked outside nonchalantly, but still couldn't see any of the little kids.

When the old man comes later, these little guys might really be poisoned!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang came from the countryside, he was not a short-sighted king. He attached great importance to the education of his descendants.

And it's very strict.

At that time, he hired the great Confucian scholar Song Lian to teach Zhu Biao. It goes without saying that Zhu Yuanzhang loved Zhu Biao very much.

But even so, Zhu Biao was beaten.

If Zhu Biao was like this, what about those little brats of the Prince of Ying?
This butt has been beaten to pieces!
Zhu Xiongying felt a little sympathetic. Just as he was daydreaming, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking towards him with his hands behind his back, looking cold outside the school.

Zhu Yunwen carefully followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

Not long after.

The two arrived at the school.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, all the princes and grandchildren were frightened and hung their heads. No one dared to look directly at Zhu Yuanzhang!
It can be seen how terrible this old man is in the eyes of future generations.

Zhu Yunwen returned to his seat and sat down.

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back, glanced coldly at the princes and grandchildren in the school, and then asked Qi Tai: "Are they not here yet?"

Qi Tai hurriedly saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, it has been exactly half an hour since the class started, and the three princes are still skipping class together!"

………………

"good good good good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke in a low voice, staring at Zhu Xiongying: "Pass."

What does this have to do with me!
But on second thought, the person who went to call Zhu Yuanzhang just now was Zhu Yunwen. This brat must have said something to the old man with exaggeration.

Zhu Xiongying found it difficult to understand Zhu Yunwen's thoughts.

What effect can this little trick have?
Why does he always enjoy these things?
A gentleman has virtue.

The villain cherishes the scholar, the gentleman cherishes the punishment, the villain cherishes the favor, the ancients were not deceiving me!
Zhu Xiongying stood up and walked slowly to Zhu Yuanzhang's side: "Grandson, meet your grandfather."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked, "What did you say to your uncles last night? As the eldest brother, you are immoral and have corrupted your uncles. Do you know that you are wrong?"

Zhu Xiongying scratched his head, "Ah, they are my uncles. Aren't they the ones who fought? My grandson is younger than me."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said with a straight face: "You!"

Qi Tai saw that the emperor was showing some signs of loosening up, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is too serious. It concerns education, and you must not slack off."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Qi Tai.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "Let me ask you, do you know your mistakes?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head, "Grandpa Emperor, everything has two sides. Maybe they worked hard last night, so they missed class. This is not a big deal."

"Besides, the children are still young. The heavy academic burden will train them into study machines. My grandson thinks that it is necessary to cultivate academic studies and personal interests at the same time, and give them a holiday from time to time. There is nothing wrong with that."

The little princes in the classroom suddenly widened their eyes after hearing this and looked at Zhu Xiongying excitedly!
When the little princes heard the word "holiday", their eyes turned green.

Qi Tai was furious and shouted, "Your Highness, that's enough. Don't spread such lies to confuse the people."

Zhu Yunwen also shouted, "Brother, be careful with your words! We are older and should set an example. How can we say such boastful and reckless words?"
