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

"Ouyang Lun, you are really greedy!"

"You were originally a commoner, and now you are a royal consort, and you still want to do this."

"You actually raised a kid outside without Anqing's knowledge, you..."

Zhu Chong became angrier and angrier as he spoke. If Zhu Xiongying hadn't stopped him, Ouyang Lun would have already reported to the King of Hell.

Ouyang Lun sat there with his head down, not daring to speak.

"Jiang Li, take him down."

"Yes!"

Ouyang Lun was taken away by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Before leaving the hall, I ran into Princess Anqing.

"Xiong Ying! You eat..."

"you……"

Princess Anqing saw Ouyang Lun like this, and there were two Jinyiwei following him.

"Xiong Ying, this is..."

"Aunt, this..."

Zhu Xiongying turned to look at Zhu Chong. It would be most appropriate for Zhu Chong to make the decision on this matter.

"Anqing, Ouyang... is in trouble."

"We must bring him back to Yingtian and wait for our father's decision."

Princess Anqing frowned and said, "Second brother, what did he do wrong?"

"Can't you give me some leniency?"

“Anqing, Second Brother doesn’t want to lie to you, but I’m afraid it’s not okay for what he did.”

"Smuggling and trafficking, he dragged almost half of the officials of the Ming Dynasty into it."

"and……"

Zhu Chong was unable to say the following words.

"And what?"

"Say it!"

"Xiongying, has your aunt loved you since you were a child?"

"Can you save your uncle?"

Princess Anqing grabbed Zhu Xiongying's hand, her eyes full of pleading.

"Aunt, he not only smuggled salt and iron outside the Great Wall, but also... he raised a child outside the city of Chang'an."

"She raised more than a dozen children without your knowledge."

Hearing this, An Qing was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

Can't calm down for a long time!

After a long time!

"Ouyang Lun, why do you do this?"

"Princess...I..."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Just tell me and I'll consider it. Why don't you tell me?"

"You are already a royal consort, yet you still engage in smuggling and raise a child behind my back."

"What on earth did I do to displease you?"

"I never looked down on you!"

Princess Anqing's words were like knives stabbing into Ouyang Lun's heart. There was indeed nothing wrong with Princess Anqing.

In this era of strict social status, Princess Anqing never looked down on him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have married him. Perhaps it was Ouyang Lun's inferiority complex that was at work.

Want to be like others!
After all, the prince consort of the Ming Dynasty could only marry one wife, and that was a princess.

"Princess, I am sorry for you."

"It is me, Ouyang Lun, who has let you down. I am afraid I will never be able to atone for my sins in this life. In the next life, I, Ouyang Lun, will serve you like a slave."

Finished!

Ouyang Lun knelt down, kowtowed several times to Princess Anqing, then stood up and walked out.

Princess Anqing sat on the ground helplessly, and Zhu Chong hurried to help her.

“Anqing…”

Zhu Chong wanted to say words of comfort, but he couldn't say them. After all, if something like this didn't happen to him, he wouldn't understand the feeling.

People’s pain is different, and only they themselves know the pain they feel.

"Aunt, I'm sorry!"

Zhu Xiongying knelt in front of Princess Anqing. After all, he had not visited his aunt for a long time.

I came here with great difficulty, only to arrest my uncle.

Although Zhu Xiongying was not wrong, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Princess Anqing like that.

After all, humans are emotional animals!
"You go!"

"I don't blame you for this!"

Princess Anqing said expressionlessly.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Chong, and Zhu Chong also signaled him to go.

Helpless, Zhu Xiongying had to get up and leave with his people.

Zhu Chong stayed to accompany her!
After a long time, Princess Anqing finally calmed down.

"Second brother! Is Ouyang really hopeless?"

Zhu Chong sighed: "He has such a crime, the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and the temper of my father."

"I'm afraid..."

Zhu Chong didn't want to lie to her. Although it was painful, a short pain is worse than a long one.

Princess Anqing closed her eyes in pain.

"Anqing, go live in the palace with your second brother!"

"Don't live here anymore!"

Princess Anqing nodded.

............................................................

Night is falling!

Inside the Prince Qin’s Palace!

"Aunt, Aunt..."

When Zhu Xiongying saw Deng coming out, he asked hurriedly.

"I'm already asleep, it's okay!"

"That's good!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and seeing that nothing happened, Deng left.

"Uncle, my aunt won't blame me, right?"

"Do not worry!"

"Anqing can still distinguish right from wrong. It was Ouyang Lun who brought his own death upon himself. You are not to blame."

"You are only doing this for the Ming Dynasty. You are not wrong!"

Zhu Chong waved his hand.

"Ugh!"

Zhu Xiongying sighed deeply.

"Now, my aunt is here..."

"If the Empress Dowager knew about this, I wouldn't know how to explain it."

Zhu Xiongying frowned. After all, there was a prince involved in this, and Prince Jin was the son of Queen Ma.

"Do not worry!"

"My mother is definitely not someone who cannot tell right from wrong. She is very clear about this."

"Uncle, you don't have to comfort me."

"What mother would like to see her son be..."

"Ugh!"

"After I went back, I didn't dare to see Grandma Huang anymore. Before, it was my fourth uncle, but now it's my third uncle, seventh uncle, and thirteenth uncle."

"All of a sudden, my four uncles were..."

At this time, Zhu Xiongying was a little afraid to see Queen Ma. After all, she was the person who loved him the most.

Now he gave her two sons to...

How can one not feel guilty about this?
"Do not worry!"

"Mother can tell the difference!"

Zhu Chong patted Zhu Xiongying on the shoulder and said.

"is it?"

"Second Uncle, how about you come with me to respond to the sky?"

"Let's go see Grandma Huang together?"

"Uh……"

"What? Xiongying!"

"The eighteen Tufan tribes have been making moves lately, and I can't leave them!"

"It's not that my second uncle doesn't want to help you, it's just that I can't leave!"

"no way!"

Zhu Xiongying: "..."

If you don’t want to, then don’t want to!
What excuse?

What the hell have you done to the eighteen native tribes after beating them up?
Still ready to make a move?
It's because I feel guilty and afraid of meeting Queen Ma!

What the hell are you talking about?

Ugh!
At the critical moment, no one can be relied on.

"Go, go, go!"

"Then take good care of your aunt!"

"I'm going back tomorrow. I don't dare hang around in front of my aunt anymore."

"I am afraid……"

"gone!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Hey? Brat, is there anyone else you're afraid of?"

Zhu Chong smiled as he looked at Zhu Xiongying's departing back.

The next morning!

Zhu Xiongying took his men and fled early without even saying goodbye.

Only letters were left!

It wasn't until we left Chang'an City that I felt relieved.

This time, I am at the center of the storm.

Half of the officials!
Most of them are Huaixi nobles, which is a bit dangerous!
This will surely greatly reduce their impression of themselves, right?
Now I shouldn't be the best candidate for the throne, right?
"Yunxun! I have done it to myself."

"You have to do your best!"

....................................

Yingtian!

Zhu Xiongying led his men on a long journey and finally returned to Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhu Xiongying did not let Ouyang Lun come back in a prisoner's cart, but in a horse carriage, in order not to alert the enemy. In the imperial study!

Ouyang Lun knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, with Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying beside him.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was flipping through Ouyang Lun's account book with an extremely gloomy expression.

Ouyang Lun knelt on the ground, trembling.

Every time Zhu Yuanzhang turned the page, Ouyang Lun became panicked.

pat...

Zhu Yuanzhang threw the account book on the table, which scared Ouyang Lun.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Ouyang Lun, his eyes filled with endless anger.

Anyone who knows Zhu Yuanzhang knows that the calmer he is, the angrier he gets.

"Ouyang!"

"emperor!"

“You’re pretty awesome!”

"Almost half of the officials in the entire Ming Dynasty have been dragged into this."

"Are you planning to rebel and take over?"

"The guilty minister dare not!"

Ouyang Lun quickly lowered his head and crawled on the ground, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

My body couldn't help but tremble!

"Don't you dare?"

"Your income is almost equal to the annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty."

"The money that goes into your own pocket alone is enough to pay a hundred thousand soldiers for a year."

"Why? The salary is not enough?"

Ouyang Lun didn't dare to speak, but just kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Besides, you're still raising a kid out there!"

"Why? Who would not sleep with you if you are the daughter of our Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Or is it that our Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter is not pretty enough?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun became even more frightened.

Zhu Yuanzhang's aura was so powerful that it seemed as if he couldn't breathe.

"What are we asking you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly shouted loudly.

Ouyang Lun trembled with fear: "You are a guilty subject... You are a guilty subject..."

Ouyang Lun stammered for a long time and couldn't utter a word.

"I was really blind to choose you as my son-in-law."

"Erhu! Take him away!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to watch it, so Mao Xiang immediately brought people in and took him away.

"Hero!"

"here I am!"

"Is your third uncle really involved in this?"

"I heard from Ouyang Lun that this is the case!"

"Not only that, but your adopted grandson as well!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and asked in confusion: "Adopted grandson?"

"What adopted grandson?"

"Old Zhu, didn't you adopt some adopted sons?"

"If your adopted son adopts another adopted son, wouldn't that be your adopted grandson?"

"There will be no end to your descendants!"

"Old Zhu, you have a lot of descendants!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard this.

"Humph! Bastard!"

“Before, they said they would give less salary, but now that the new policy has been implemented, they are still engaging in smuggling and corruption.”

"They are simply greedy. Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning for doing this?"

"Even if we can't see it, there are gods above us. How dare they be so cruel and crazy."

“It’s just lawlessness.”

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

"Father, what should we do?"

After Zhu Biao asked this question, Zhu Yuanzhang was also in a dilemma.

After all, more than half of the Ming Dynasty’s officials were involved in this. We can’t kill them all, right?

How should the country be run?

Moreover, he has a son in the past few years. It is impossible for you to ask Lao Zhu to kill his own son.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned and looked at Zhu Xiongying.

"Xiong Ying, do you have any idea?"

"I?"

"Isn't this something you should consider?"

"I went to investigate this matter and was pushed to the forefront. Now I don't even dare to see Grandma Huang."

"You still want me to give you advice, do you want me to die?"

"Hey? Little bastard!"

"You are the grandson of the Ming Dynasty and the crown prince. How come this is none of your business?"

"When you become emperor in the future, you will also encounter difficult decisions of one kind or another."

"Aren't you going to deal with it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

"Then why don't I just stop being the emperor and solve the problem from the root."

"you……"

"You little bastard, you have to talk back to me, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took off his boots and was about to beat Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Biao on the side hurriedly stopped him.

"Father, now is not the time to hit the kid."

"Calm down, calm down!"

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang finally calmed down.

"Little bastard, think about it carefully."

"What are you thinking? If it were me, I would just kill them all."

"One size fits all!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, which had just calmed down, suddenly rose again.

"You little bastard, your uncles are in there too!"

"Do you have a conscience?"

"what?"

"Do you have a conscience?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so furious that if Zhu Biao had not stopped him, he would have spanked Zhu Xiongying.

"Father, please calm down!"

"How could he understand this? Calm down!"

“Xiong Ying, you too, your royal grandfather is old, and you still make him so angry.”

"Prince father, don't worry!"

"He's in good health!"

Zhu Xiongying said disapprovingly.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang in history had twenty-six sons and sixteen daughters.

Many of them were born in his later years. Zhu Yuanzhang was so diligent in his work, yet he still had so many children.

He can still live to over seventy years old!

You say he's not feeling well?
He is not in good health, who is in good health?

There is no one else like this!

If it were someone else, he would have been lying on the bed long ago.

"You little bastard, you have no conscience!"

"I really love you in vain!"

As he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang threw the boots in his hand away.

Zhu Xiongying tilted his head and dodged it safely.

"Ah! I missed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang became even angrier at Zhu Xiongying's despicable look.

"Just stand there, you little bastard!"

"Look, we won't beat you to death!"

Zhu Biao hurriedly stopped them. He was really fed up with this grandfather and grandson duo, as they could quarrel anytime and anywhere.

"Father, let's think about how to deal with that matter, shall we?"

"Now is not the time to argue."

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Zhu Yuanzhang finally calmed down.

"Xiong Ying, you too!"

"Speak to me nicely."

"Go, go, go!"

Zhu Xiongying also became serious.

"Tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"

"I think we should let the Royal Guards investigate everything thoroughly, and kill those who are directly involved and have embezzled huge amounts of money."

"As for the others, those who deserve it should be fined their salaries, those who deserve it should be exiled, and those who deserve it should be demoted."

"As for those uncles!"

"It's up to you!"

"I guess you still have some conscience."

"Biao'er, ask the third brother to come to Yingtian as well."

"This kid needs a beating."

"It's Father!"

Zhu Biao bowed.

…………

Duke Cao’s Mansion!

"Dad! His Highness is back!"

Li Wenzhong nodded.

"Dad! I'm afraid many people will lose their heads this time, including the Huaixi disciples."

"Should I go and tell them to come to the palace and plead guilty?"
