Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 215 Zhu Yuanzhang: Rebellious son, this rebellious son!

At Zhu Shuang's command, thousands of soldiers behind him sprang into action instantly. These soldiers, all ruthless, charged directly at Mu Sheng.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Mu Sheng was completely caught off guard. His eyes widened, filled with astonishment and disbelief, but he was speechless for a moment. He never imagined that Zhu Shuang would be so bold as to actually order an attack.

How could he be so audacious?
For a moment, Mu Sheng felt his heart pounding and beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. In this situation, if there were any casualties in the battle, it would be really hard to explain.

Not only Mu Sheng, but also the thousands of Huizhou guards escorting him were in a panic, not knowing what to do!

And it was at this critical moment that things were about to escalate.

A cold shout came from behind: "Stop right there, my lord!"

The voice came, carrying an undeniable authority, like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

Accompanied by a rapid and intense thud of hooves, Zhu Ying rode ahead, followed by a thousand personal guards on horseback.

They came rushing towards this place like a black torrent, their horses' hooves kicking up clouds of dust, leaving a long trail of smoke behind them.

"kindness?"

Zhu Shuang frowned deeply, a look of displeasure flashing across his face, and looked ahead.

Upon hearing this cold shout, his soldiers stopped in their tracks, lowered their raised weapons, and looked hesitant.

next moment!
Zhu Ying then rode over and came to Mu Sheng's side, and a thousand guards quickly dispersed to surround the area.

The guards exuded a terrifying killing intent that sent chills down one's spine.

Every guard had a sharp, piercing gaze, staring intently at the soldiers under Zhu Shuang's command, their eyes filled with intimidation.

In just a moment, under the fierce gaze of the thousands of guards, all of Zhu Shuang's troops showed signs of panic.

Their eyes began to dart away, and they even started to back away. Their arrogance, which had been under Zhu Shuang's command, was no longer so firm.

Clearly, each of Zhu Ying's personal guards had at least dozens of enemy lives on their hands. Having just retreated from the battlefield, they exuded a strong killing intent, far surpassing the pampered vassal soldiers under Zhu Shuang.

"who are you?"

Zhu Shuang stared at Zhu Ying with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, looking Zhu Ying up and down, trying to determine his identity from his clothes.

Although he seemed to have some suspicions in his heart, he couldn't be sure yet.

"See Mr. Marquis."

When Mu Sheng saw Zhu Ying arrive, it was as if he had found his pillar of support.

He quickly bowed and bowed, his movements swift and respectful.

"See Mr. Marquis."

The thousands of guards from Huizhou who were escorting him also bowed to Zhu Yingyi with fanatical expressions, their eyes filled with reverence.

"All soldiers, you may rise."

Zhu Ying raised his hand and addressed the soldiers of Huizhou Guard, his voice gentle and reassuring.

Then!
Zhu Ying turned his head and looked at Zhu Shuang with a scrutinizing gaze: "I have received the Emperor's great favor and have been granted the title of Marquis of Champion."

The words fell.

Zhu Ying slightly raised his chin, looking at Zhu Shuang with a confident air: "And who are you?"

Upon hearing this, and sensing Zhu Ying's indifferent gaze, Zhu Shuang seemed to lose his temper as well. He snorted coldly, the sound coming from his nose, carrying obvious disdain: "I am the Prince of Qin!"

"Having seen me, why don't you kneel and pay homage?"

As he spoke, Zhu Shuang straightened his back, attempting to use his status to subdue Zhu Ying.

Hear this.

Zhu Ying immediately recognized the person in front of him.

"Zhu Shuang".

"The second son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was also an arrogant and extremely cruel ruler."

"In the end, he was poisoned to death by a palace maid from the Prince's mansion."

"This thing is no good."

Upon hearing Zhu Shuang introduce himself, Zhu Ying immediately thought of the historical Zhu Shuang's fate, and a barely perceptible look of disgust appeared on his face.

It can be said that Zhu Shuang was definitely not a good person; he was not only cruel and bloodthirsty.

The only reason he was alive was because he was Zhu Yuanzhang's son. Apart from that, based on the things he had done, he should have died hundreds of times over.

Coming to his senses, Zhu Ying's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a hint of sarcasm, "I hold the title of Marquis, and I don't even have to bow to the Emperor. Do you think your status is higher than the Emperor's?"

talking.

Zhu Ying's eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he stared directly into Zhu Shuang's eyes, showing no fear.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shuang was speechless. His face turned bright red, his lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Clearly, Zhu Ying's words had effectively shut him down.

If he dared to allow Zhu Yingbai to do so, then he would be disrespecting imperial authority.

"Why is the King of Qin coming to Zhen Ding Prefecture instead of staying in his fiefdom?"

"As far as I know."

"A vassal king is not allowed to leave his vassal state without an imperial decree. Could it be that the Prince of Qin has received an imperial decree?"

Zhu Ying glanced at him coldly, then asked again, with a hint of mockery.

When asked this question, Zhu Shuang had nothing to say. His eyes began to flicker, and he dared not look Zhu Ying in the eye.

His hand unconsciously tightened around the riding whip, and he became nervous.

His departure was entirely without imperial decree, solely because of his princess. Upon learning of the fall of the Northern Yuan and the near capture of its royal family, Zhu Shuang, in an attempt to impress his princess, led his troops to intercept them and take away all of her relatives.

It must be said that Zhu Shuang was indeed very bold.

"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on your nonsense."

"today."

"I have only one goal: to hand over my queen's relatives so that I can immediately lead my troops away."

"otherwise."

"I don't care if you're a champion marquis or any other marquis, I'll just kill you."

Zhu Shuang stared directly at Zhu Ying and threatened loudly. His eyes were wide open, filled with ferocity and brutality, like a wild beast that had been provoked.

"I am right here. If you dare to make a move..."

"I do respect you as someone of importance."

Zhu Ying laughed at Zhu Shuang's threat, revealing a confident smile, completely disregarding it.

Then, Zhu Ying raised his hand and beckoned to Zhu Shuang with his finger, a gesture full of provocation.

"Someone is coming."

“This man is extremely rebellious and dares to disrespect me.”

"Seize him for me."

Seeing Zhu Ying's reaction, Zhu Shuang became even more furious, his face turning red.

His chest heaved violently, his breathing rapid, like an enraged bull. He immediately ordered his soldiers to confront Zhu Ying directly.

But when his royal command was given, the soldiers behind him dared not move as before, and all stood frozen in place, looking at each other.

Every soldier looked at Zhu Ying with trepidation, and even awe.

The champion's fame is renowned!
The news has spread throughout the land. Who dares to lay a hand on him?
"Your Majesty."

“He…he is the Marquis of Champion.”

"If you dare to lay a hand on him, the Emperor... the Emperor will be furious."

A general standing next to Zhu Shuang approached him and whispered, his voice filled with awe for Zhu Ying. He bowed slightly, his face showing fear, and spoke in a very low voice, as if afraid that Zhu Ying would hear him.

"Asshole."

"I am the King of Qin, the sovereign."

"Are we afraid of a mere subject like him?"

"Go and capture him!"

Seeing that none of his troops dared to move, Zhu Shuang became even angrier. He shouted loudly, his voice sharp and piercing, echoing around him.

He even lashed the general next to him with his riding whip, the whip striking the general with a crisp sound.

But the latter could only endure it, not daring to utter a single complaint. He lowered his head, his face showing helplessness and pain.

"King Qin."

Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?

"You have committed a crime by leaving your vassal state without permission."

"Now you want to kidnap Northern Yuan prisoners, which is an even greater crime."

“You are the emperor’s son, so the emperor will not kill you, but the soldiers who followed you will be wronged.”

Zhu Ying said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his eyes, looking at Zhu Shuang as if he were an ignorant clown.

"Zhu Ying."

Others may fear you, but I, the king, do not.

"I will beat you to death."

Provoked by Zhu Ying, Zhu Shuang's anger flared up completely.

He spurred his horse forward, raised his whip, and lashed it at Zhu Ying.

The whip drew an arc in the air, whistling through the wind, and lashed towards Zhu Ying's head.

But just as the whip was about to strike, it was caught by Zhu Ying's hand.

Zhu Ying's hand was like an iron clamp, gripping the whip tightly. No matter how hard Zhu Shuang tried, he couldn't budge it an inch.

"Release him, release him for me."

No matter how much force Zhu Shuang used, even with his face turning red and the veins on his neck bulging, he couldn't budge him an inch.

"I have long heard that the Emperor's second son, Zhu Shuang, is neither good at literature nor at martial arts."

"His violent temper is indeed evident now that I've seen it."

"You."

"It's fortunate that you were born into a good family, otherwise, given what you've done, you would have died hundreds of times over."

Looking at Zhu Shuang, whose face was flushed, Zhu Ying once again mocked him without any politeness.

talking.

Zhu Ying shook his head slightly, his face full of a mocking smile, his tone filled with contempt for Zhu Shuang.

Zhu Shuang is not a normal person to begin with, and you can't reason with him. If we stop him today, we will offend him. What should Zhu Shuang be afraid of?
Hearing Zhu Ying's sarcastic remarks, Zhu Shuang became even angrier, his face turning ashen, and his hands trembling uncontrollably with rage.

"You bastard."

"I will kill you."

Zhu Shuang roared and drew his sword, slashing at Zhu Ying.

But the next moment, Zhu Ying pulled hard.

Zhu Ying's arm muscles tensed, and with a sudden exertion, Zhu Shuang was pulled directly off the horse.

There was a pop.

He fell directly to the ground, his face showing pain and shock.

"Take it."

Zhu Ying coldly snorted.

Immediately, two guards dismounted.

They moved swiftly and nimbly, pinning Zhu Shuang to the ground with such force that he was completely unable to move.

Zhu Shuang struggled on the ground, kicking his feet and trying to push away the guards pressing down on him, but to no avail.

"Zhu Ying."

"You're asking for it, you're asking for it."

"I am the Prince of Qin, the Emperor's son. How dare you treat me like this?"

"I will never let you go."

Zhu Shuang struggled on the ground, roaring furiously. His voice became hoarse with rage, and his eyes were filled with hatred as he stared intently at Zhu Ying.

“I told you.” “Besides being born into a good family, you’re good for nothing.”

Zhu Ying continued his mockery. He lowered his head slightly, looking at Zhu Shuang on the ground, his eyes filled with disdain.

Then!

Zhu Ying ignored Zhu Shuang's angry curses, glanced at him, and immediately said, "Liu Lei."

"My subordinate is here."

Liu Lei immediately responded, rode his horse from the ranks, and came to Zhu Ying's side.

"By sending a swift messenger to report to the Emperor, it is reported that Prince Zhu Shuang of Qin has committed a grave crime by leaving his vassal state without imperial decree."

"He even led his troops to seize prisoners from the Northern Yuan, and even attacked me."

"Your subject Zhu Ying humbly requests Your Majesty and the Crown Prince to handle this matter."

Zhu Ying spoke slowly, his voice carrying to the surroundings.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shuang's troops panicked, their faces filled with fear. They knew that this matter had escalated and they might be implicated.

Upon hearing that the memorial was to be presented to Yingtian, as well as to the Emperor and the Crown Prince, Zhu Shuang, who had been roaring wildly, began to panic. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and his angry expression gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of confusion.

"Zhu Ying."

"No, Marquis of Champion."

"I will immediately lead my troops to retreat. Give me a chance and do not submit a memorial to the emperor."

"I know I was wrong."

Zhu Shuang panicked completely and hurriedly pleaded. His voice was pleading and his face showed a fawning smile, a stark contrast to his arrogant and domineering demeanor just moments before.

perhaps!

Zhu Shuang's original plan was to subdue them directly, act first and report later, and kidnap them first, but the situation has now slipped out of his control.

"You don't know you're wrong, you're just scared."

Zhu Ying gave a mocking smile. His smile was full of contempt for Zhu Shuang.

This is the emperor's son!

Indeed, the dragon has nine sons, and each one is different.

He then looked at the many soldiers behind Zhu Shuang and said, "Gentlemen, as your subjects, you have no choice but to obey orders! I will also report this matter truthfully."

"But this Zhu Shuang."

"I'm taking it with me."

"Bring him directly to Yingtian and hand him over to the Emperor for disposal," Zhu Ying said loudly, making sure everyone could hear him clearly.

To this!

Zhu Shuang's general glanced nervously at Zhu Shuang, then at Zhu Ying and the murderous glares of his thousand guards. His eyes were filled with hesitation and struggle, unsure of what to do.

Clearly, he knew very well that if he didn't comply and resorted to violence, he would definitely not come out on top.

"Champion Marquis."

"Can't you let this humble general take the prince back?"

However, the general still asked tentatively, bowing slightly with a fawning smile on his face and speaking cautiously, afraid of offending Zhu Ying.

If we don't ask, Zhu Shuang will definitely not let him go when he returns.

"I have been ordered by the Emperor to escort these Northern Yuan prisoners back to the capital."

"If there is any failure, it will be my fault."

"If I hadn't come, the King of Qin would have actually kidnapped the people. How could I explain that to the Emperor?"

"So, everyone, please leave."

"Of course, you can all try it yourself."

Zhu Ying raised his eyes and swept them around, speaking with a touch of authority, his gaze filled with a chilling coldness as he looked at the crowd, sending shivers down their spines.

Seeing this, the general had no other options.

Hands-on?

He certainly wouldn't dare.

He sighed helplessly, lowered his head, and looked dejected.

"Put Zhu Shuang in the prison cart and take him to Yingtian."

Zhu Ying shouted.

"Yes."

Two guards carried Zhu Shuang directly to a relatively empty prison cart.

They grabbed Zhu Shuang's arms and dragged him forcefully toward the prison cart.

Zhu Shuang continued to struggle and curse, but he could not break free from the guards' control. The guards locked him directly inside, and the door of the prison cart slammed shut with a dull thud.

"Zhu Ying."

"You will regret this."

"I will kill you sooner or later."

Inside the prison van.

Zhu Shuang cursed angrily, but at this moment, he felt more helpless and truly afraid.

His voice was laced with bitterness, and his eyes were filled with hatred as he stared intently at Zhu Ying through the bars of the prison cart.

"Departure."

Zhu Ying ignored him completely, spurred his horse forward, and continued onward.

The guards immediately followed, forming a majestic formation behind Zhu Ying.

See this.

Zhu Shuang's several thousand troops could only retreat and dared not stop him.

They all made way for Zhu Ying and the others, their eyes filled with awe and fear as they watched them leave.

With Zhu Ying personally clearing the way, the convoy transporting the Northern Yuan prisoners set off again.

The convoy moved forward slowly!

"Master Hou."

"Zhu Shuang is, after all, the King of Qin. Will there be any trouble if we treat him like this?"

Mu Sheng rode alongside Zhu Ying, looking somewhat worried. It was clear that Mu Sheng was filled with anxiety.

“This man is violent. Even if you don’t treat him like this, he will still hold a grudge if you stop him from kidnapping people. In that case, it’s better to just take him down.”

"Take the Empress Dowager back and let the Emperor decide how to handle the matter. We will simply report the facts to the Emperor."

"As for revenge?"

"If he dares, then let him come."

Zhu Ying chuckled lightly, completely unconcerned, a confident smile on his face, as if he didn't take Zhu Shuang's threat seriously at all.

From beginning to end.

Zhu Yinggen's reliance was never on imperial power, but on his own strength.

"kindness."

Mu Sheng nodded and immediately said, "This subordinate understands."

"Take care."

"At the current pace, it will take at least another half month to reach Yingtian."

"I've never been to the capital before," Zhu Ying said with a smile, clearly curious about Yingtian City.

……

Yingtian!

The Imperial Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion.

There was a snap.

It sounded like a memorial being slammed to the ground.

"Asshole."

"That unfilial son."

"He really disappointed us."

"What a scoundrel!"

Zhu Yuanzhang angrily cursed in the main hall.

Yun Qi, who was serving inside, lowered his head and dared not speak, while the palace servants on duty outside also knelt down one after another.

"what happened?"

This time!

Zhu Biao had just arrived when he heard the angry shouts from inside the hall. He couldn't help but look at Guo Zhen, who was on duty outside the hall, with a puzzled expression.

"Return to your highness."

"A report just arrived from the Ministry of War, and His Majesty was furious upon seeing it," Guo Zhen replied respectfully.

Hear this.

Zhu Biao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately walked into the hall, waving his hand to disperse the palace servants inside.

A report from the Ministry of War!

This is definitely not a trivial matter.

After all, the war is now over, and the only ones who can submit a report from the Ministry of War are the generals in charge of the army.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Biao stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Seeing the report that had been thrown to the ground, Zhu Biao stepped forward and picked it up.

"See for yourself," Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, truly enraged at this moment.

Zhu Biao opened the report with doubt in his eyes.

After seeing the above content.

Zhu Biao's expression also turned ugly.

"Second brother."

"pass."

After reading the memorial, Zhu Biao also uttered a sentence, expressing his extreme displeasure.

"It was indeed too much."

“Without our and your orders, he dared to leave the vassal state, and even dared to lead his troops away.”

"He even led troops to storm the convoy escorting the Northern Yuan back to the capital, and that rebellious son even drew his sword and attacked Zhu Ying."

"He's incredibly audacious! He's truly incredibly audacious!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Second brother has indeed gone too far this time."

"To dare to lead troops to plunder for the sake of his queen's family is truly a disregard for the law," Zhu Biao said in a deep voice, his expression serious, clearly considering how to deal with the situation.

"Biao'er."

"What do you think we should do with this rebellious son?"

"This rebellious son has now been apprehended by Zhu on the spot."

"If he had simply left his fiefdom without reporting it to the authorities, that would have been fine. But he actually led his troops to kidnap people and even attacked Zhu Ying. This time, it was Zhu Ying who directly reported it to the Ministry of War."

"If this is not handled properly, it will not only displease Zhu Ying, but may even cause controversy in the court," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a worried expression.

"father."

"Let's leave this matter at the Ministry of War for now."

"As for what to do with my second brother, let my son handle it," Zhu Biao said after thinking for a moment.

……
