Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 316 The water is too cold, my scalp is itchy

"Zhu Houzhao, if you want to scold the younger generation, just scold them. Why do you have to make personal attacks?"

Just as Zhu Houzhao was teaching Chongzhen, Zhu Zhanjun and others also came over and happened to hear what Zhu Houzhao said.

Zhu Houcong became dissatisfied when he heard this. What did they mean by saying that he took too many drugs and it affected his genes? This was a disguised way of calling him a bad person.

He glared at Zhu Houzhao angrily and rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight him.

"Get lost, I'm in a good mood today and don't want to fight with you."

Zhu Houzhao didn't even bother to pay attention to him. He smiled and pulled Chongzhen to Zhu Zhanjun.

"Great-grandfather, this fool is the great-great-grandson of Zhu Houcong, the Chongzhen who almost got hanged on the crooked tree on Coal Hill."

After the introduction, he raised his foot and kicked Chongzhen, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and kowtow to our ancestors."

"I'm telling you, little brat, if we hadn't arrived in time, you would be hanging on the tree by your neck."

When Zhu Zhanjun and others came over, Chongzhen had already roughly identified them from their facial features.

When he heard Zhu Houzhao calling Zhu Zhanjun "great-grandfather", he made an instant judgment in his mind and knelt down quickly.

"Descendants of later generations, please pay homage to our ancestor Xuande."

Zhu Zhanji, who was looking at Chongzhen at the side, twitched his lips and said in a low voice: "You called me the wrong name, kid. I am Xuande, and this is Shengwu."

"Forehead."

Chongzhen, who was kowtowing, had an embarrassed expression. What a guy, he recognized the wrong ancestor when they met. He really brought shame upon himself in front of his ancestors.

Zhu Zhanjun didn't care. He smiled and nodded, then took over Zhu Houzhao's words and introduced them to Chongzhen: "These are Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Renzong, Emperor Yingzong..."

Every time Zhu Zhanjun introduced someone, Chongzhen would kowtow and kneel respectfully.

When worshiping Lao Zhu, people directly call him ancestor.

Facing the respectful Chongzhen, Old Zhu did not face the anger of the other incompetent younger generations and nodded slightly.

Although Chongzhen was somewhat suspicious by nature, his hard-working nature was still very good, which was very similar to him.

As for his suspicious personality, which emperor didn't have this character? Even Zhu Houzhao, who seemed heartless on the surface, was full of ulterior motives.

After the audience, Lao Zhu ordered: "You are too slow in copying each family. Go back to the palace and ring the bell. Whether they are here or not, we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

"These officials are rotten to the core. Now you need to cut off their flesh with a knife. Only by cutting off the rotten flesh can new flesh and blood grow."

"Yes."

Chongzhen nodded repeatedly and spoke with confidence.

With these ancestors as our backers, mere rebellion and barbarians outside the Great Wall are nothing.

Which one of these ancestors did not fight his way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses? The situation he faced was nothing but a small matter for these ancestors.

"Your Majesty."

Just as the group was about to go to the palace, Lan Yu ran over quickly and reported to Zhu Zhanjun with a smile: "I just received a report from below that most of Li Zicheng and other high-ranking officials have been captured, and many of the rest have been shot dead."

"What, caught."

When Chongzhen heard that Li Zicheng had been captured, his face was filled with joy, and at the same time, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly came out.

Then his body shook, and he fell down with his eyes closed.

Zhu Zhanjun took it, took a quick look at it, and said to the nervous Zhu Youjian, "You've relaxed too much. Take a rest for two days and take some medicine."

A stretcher was called for and Chongzhen was carried into the palace.

Zhu Zhanjun, Old Zhu and others strolled down the street, looking at the closed houses on both sides, and said with cold eyes: "Someone once joked that the civil servants of our Ming Dynasty would kill every other one, and there would be absolutely no false cases or wrongful convictions."

"Now in this era of great chaos, there is no need to kill these officials one by one. Just kill them all. There is absolutely no fault of any of them."

"The water is too cold and my scalp itches..."

Zhu Zhanjun sneered: "Since they are afraid of these, I will let him lie in ice water and shave his head layer by layer."

Even though the Ming Dynasty had its share of mistakes, as the last ruling power of the Han people, it eventually went to destruction, which makes people sigh.

Chongzhen used his life to prove the backbone of the Ming Dynasty.

And those civil servants who claimed to be loyal to the emperor and the country excitedly set up incense tables to welcome the rebels and the Qing Dynasty when they entered the city, as if they were their own fathers.

"The reform of the civil service group must be done as soon as possible. If we don't change, it will not only affect the court, but will also greatly harm ordinary people."

Zhu Biao agreed.

He is not a soft-hearted person. When faced with officials who deserve to be killed, he would deal with them without even blinking an eye.

"In that case, how about letting you, Grandfather, be the emperor for once?"

Chongzhen had already fallen ill, and he probably didn't have the energy to deal with what was to come.

Old Zhu is in a very bad mood right now and is not suitable to deal with these things.

The old man was more concerned about fighting, and now that so many of his relatives who were good at domestic affairs were around, he didn't want to get involved in these matters.

None of the three leaders wanted to do it, but Zhu Biao happened to stand up at this time, so Zhu Zhanjun simply handed the matter over to him.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, but then burst into laughter. "Okay, then I'll be the emperor for once."

"Dang, clang, clang, clang..."

The sound of the bell that summoned all civil and military officials could be heard throughout the city of Peking.

The noise of the battle had disappeared, and when the anxious people in the city heard the voice of the imperial city summoning officials, many of them felt disappointed.

"Open the city gates and welcome the rebel king. When the rebel king comes, he won't pay taxes."

This folk song has spread to thousands of households.

Hearing that the rebel army had reached Peking, many people were already prepared to welcome them, thinking that if they could bring the rebel king in, they would not have to pay various taxes from the imperial court.

In recent years, in order to suppress rebellions and foreign wars, the imperial court has squeezed the people to the point where there is not a penny left.

The common people are easy to manage. As long as they have enough food to eat, they will farm and live an honest life.

Similarly, it is difficult to control the common people, because once they go hungry, they will erupt with a force that will shake the entire world.

Although throughout history, there have been almost no successful rebellions by the common people, and they have always paved the way for those aristocratic families.

But one thing we have to admit is that the initial rebellion of the people dealt the greatest blow to the imperial power.

As the bells rang out, the gates of the imperial city opened and sedan chairs and carriages walked in.

They had already received the news that the newly arrived troops had defeated King Chuang's army and even Li Zicheng had been captured alive.

Li Zicheng was captured alive, and the leaderless Dashun Dynasty would probably not last for many days. As long as there was no trouble in the north, the world would still be ruled by the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the Ming Dynasty still exists, he will definitely continue to hold this position. Otherwise, he will be corrupt and plunder the people's wealth.

If you can't be an official and get all these things, how can you support your wives, concubines, and maids? Rely on the salary from the imperial court that is not enough to feed a dog?
As for the fact that they did not come when Chongzhen rang the bell in the morning, no one cared.

The Ming Dynasty was already like this, so no matter how dissatisfied Chongzhen was, he had to hold it in.

Without them, Chongzhen alone would not be able to rule the world.

Although they thought so in their hearts, everyone still put on a serious look on their faces and walked into the court according to the usual standing order.

However, once they entered, they found that the person sitting on the throne was not the Chongzhen they were familiar with, but a young man who looked familiar but whom they did not recognize.

There were a dozen people sitting below the young man's throne, and every look they gave them was filled with murderous intent.

"close the door."

Zhu Biao shouted softly, and before the officials could react, the door of the hall was slammed shut.

Hidden teams of soldiers, armed with rifles with fixed bayonets, quickly came out and aimed at the officials.

"Who are you? Do you know our identities? How dare you be so presumptuous?"

The sudden change startled the officials, but they immediately calmed down.

Whether it was Chongzhen or the rebels, they needed their help to appease the people and issue notices. They didn't believe that the other side would really kill them all.

"hehe…"

Zhu Biao sneered, not bothering to explain to these guys: "Take them all away and interrogate them one by one. Anyone who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country will be killed without mercy."

"Yes."

The soldiers responded, and Ji Gang, who came over to work part-time again, walked out with the officials with a smile on his face.

Naturally, the officials refused to do so and shouted that they were willing to surrender and offer their family property to help King Chuang build his empire.

The soldiers who controlled them were dressed differently from ordinary militiamen, and they didn't recognize the person sitting on the throne, so they mistook Zhu Biao for Li Zicheng.

Old Zhu, who was already in a bad mood, could not stop the murderous look in his eyes when he heard these guys shamelessly licking Li Zicheng.

"Those who are willing to surrender and pay the money will be dragged out and skinned alive in front of the entire city."

Old Zhu was not a kind person. Faced with those guys who were willing to surrender, he directly accepted their surrender and then sent all nine clans of the other party to die together.

Zhu Zhanjun did not interfere with Old Zhu's handling of the matter, but kept searching among the crowd.

When they came to this world, except for Chongzhen's golden pendant, the remaining four dark golden pendants disappeared.

Zhu Zhanjun guessed in his heart that it was very likely that these four people were already dead, and the space used the same method that was used to wake up Xu Da to wake these people up.

Zhu Zhanjun was not sure where these people were, but he hoped that they were not one of these cowards.

After all the officials were dragged out, Zhu was still angry and was about to curse when a guard came in and bowed to Zhu Zhanjun and said, "Your Majesty, there is a palace maid outside who wants to see you. She said she is the person you are looking for."

Just as Zhu Zhanjun was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

As he had guessed, the person chosen by the pendant had already died, so the space used the method of resurrection to transfer those in need to other people.

"Let her in."

Soon, a heroic woman walked in. She first glanced at everyone, then bowed to Zhu Zhanjun.

"General Qin Liangyu pays respect to His Majesty!"
