Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Chapter 5: Go to Kunning Palace and invite the Queen Mother!

Outside the Wuying Palace, six people wearing dragon robes stood in a row.

They are all sons of Zhu Yuanzhang.

From the second oldest, Zhu Chong, the Prince of Qin, the third oldest, Zhu Gang, the Prince of Jin, the fifth oldest, Zhu Su, the Prince of Wu, all the way to the eighth oldest, Zhu Zi, the Prince of Tan, it is majestic and magnificent.

However, although they are both Zhu Yuanzhang's biological sons, the age gap between them is very large.

Zhu Chong was already nineteen years old and married, while the eighth child, Zhu Zi, was only six years old.

This is because those sons who need to be held by others did not come.

Otherwise, the visual impact will be even stronger.

But no matter how old they are at this time, they are all very happy.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they finally don’t have to go to the main hall to study!

This is one of the few holidays.

Their father is not only a workaholic himself, but also has extremely high expectations of others.

Officials during the Hongwu Dynasty only had three days of vacation a year.

Although they did not have to work as hard as the officials, the number of days in a year when they did not have to go to the main hall to study was still very few.

Of course, another thing that makes them happy is that they can feel their father's love today.

With so many children, each of them naturally won’t get much fatherly love.

In addition, their father gave most of his fatherly love to the eldest brother.

Then each of them will get even less.

On weekdays, the emperor is very strict with them.

The only exception is the gap from the afternoon to the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

My father would take more than an hour to accompany them.

Moreover, the emperor, who has a bad temper, will appear very kind at this time.

Get along with them calmly.

It can be said that this is a rare and good opportunity for them to feel their father's love.

We are all looking forward to this.

When they saw Eunuch Wang come out and invite them in with a smile, they were all very excited.

He immediately walked towards Wuying Palace, and couldn't wait to receive his father's love!

……

"I greet the Emperor and wish him well!"

He looked at his six sons standing in a row, all bowing and greeting him.

Not only did Zhu Yuanzhang not feel as happy as in previous years, but he was also filled with anger that couldn't stop rising.

How can this be called a son?
They are clearly a group of living ancestors!

"I'm in peace!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was gritting his teeth when he said this.

These bastards, every one of them, are so troublesome!
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze first fell on the second-in-command, Qin Wang Zhu Chong, who was on the far left. He was tall and strong, like an iron tower when he was silent, and like a fool when he spoke.

This bastard son was the head of the vassal kings. In the eleventh year of Hongwu, this guy went to the vassal state and I gave him an imperial seal and gave him specific instructions.

The people inside the Great Wall have been exhausted since the Yuan Dynasty's fall from power.

Although the world is stable today, the people still have to work hard to transport grain and pay taxes, and they still have no chance to rest and recuperate.

When you arrive at the place, if the palace has been built, temporarily stop all other unimportant matters.

As a result, when this guy got there, he just treated his words as bullshit.

Directly carrying out large-scale construction and expanding the palace will cause great waste of manpower and money.

In order to promote the use of treasure notes, he specifically ordered that gold, silver and other items should not be circulated.

On weekdays, the treasure notes should be taken as the standard.

As a result, this bastard ordered the military and civilians inside the pass to buy gold and silver year after year.

The military and civilians were plunged into such hardship that some people even sold their children!

More than 300 people came to the Qin Palace to beg for mercy. However, the beast Zhu Chong not only did not deal with them properly, but instead had an old man beaten to death on the spot and arrested more than 200 people!

This beast also doted on his second concubine, Deng, and placed his chosen princess under house arrest elsewhere, only feeding her leftovers in broken bowls every day.

The dogs in the Prince Qin's mansion eat better than her, the princess!

Deng also allowed the musicians to stay in the Prince of Qin's mansion and had an affair with him.

The second son, a fool, knew nothing about this. Instead, in order to please this bitch, he sent people to the coastal governorate to buy pearls and jade, causing some people to lose their homes and even their lives.

Later, they even made clothes for the queen to wear, and even made a five-clawed dragon bed...

Not only that, the two of them also liked to abuse private punishment in the palace, such as cutting off the tongues of palace maids and burying them in the snow to freeze to death.

Tied to a tree, starved to death, burned to death...

And he eventually died from being poisoned by a palace maid.

If it weren't for the outrageous things that this beast did, I would have asked Biao'er to travel thousands of miles to Shaanxi to bring him back, causing Biao'er to become ill from overwork. It's very likely that Biao'er wouldn't have died so early!
Many things, one after another, flashed through Zhu Yuanzhang's mind quickly.

In an instant, he was filled with anger and his chest was filled with anger!
"brute!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed loudly.

He took off his shoes and without any hesitation, slapped the second brother in the face with the sole of his shoe.

"We'll beat you to death, you beast!"

"We'll teach you a lesson!"

"We'll make you pretend to obey but actually disobey!!
"We'll let you harm the people!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed loudly and hit with the soles of his shoes continuously.

In an instant, two were hit from the front and two from the back, and four soles of the shoes were hit.

The King of Qin, Zhu Chong, was beaten so hard that blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

Such a scene instantly stunned Zhu Chong, and his head was buzzing.

Is this... the fatherly love he has been waiting for?
This father's love is so strong!

Not only Zhu Chong was confused, but the others were also confused and shocked.

Didn’t we agree that… Father never beats children on New Year’s Day, and that they are here this time to show the father’s love and filial piety to his children and enjoy the happiness of family life?
Why are they starting to fight without saying anything now?
Or hit him in the face with the sole of a shoe?

What sin had the Second Son committed to piss off his father like this?!
"Father, what's going on? Why are you hitting people on New Year's Day?

Even if you hit me, don't hit me in the face, Father!"

Zhu Biao was shocked and quickly reached out to stop him.

"Second brother, what evil thing did you do to make father so angry?
Hurry and admit your mistake to your father!"

While stopping Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao quickly turned around and scolded Zhu Chong, winking at him.

"I...I didn't do anything?"

Zhu Chong's face was full of grievance and confusion.

He has indeed been quite honest recently.

At most, I just couldn't remember anything the teacher taught me, and I even made him so angry that he fainted once.

But...shouldn't Father be used to this by now?

"Second brother! Why don't you tell the truth!"

Zhu Biao was also anxious. Why did the second brother with thick eyebrows and big eyes become so dishonest this time?
The emperor was so angry that he even accused the second son of being hypocritical and harming the people.

This shows that the matter is extremely serious and my father has already got hold of the evidence.

The second one still refuses to admit it?
The more he denies it, the angrier his father will be, and the more severe the punishment he will give to the second son!

He already knew his father's temper very well!

"I'll teach you a lesson! Get down now!"

Zhu Biao slapped Zhu Chong and scolded him.

He did this so that the second child could use his buttocks instead of his face to bear the blows from his father's shoes.

It was also to make the emperor, in consideration of the fact that he had beaten the second son, stop beating him.

Compared to the beatings of his father's shoes, he, as the eldest brother, was very measured in beating his younger brother.

But this time, the trick that always worked in previous emergencies didn't work.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked around Zhu Biao and beat Zhu Chong with one shoe sole after another.

"Biao'er, don't worry about it this time. Stand further away so I don't get hurt!"

While beating the second brother, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to care about the eldest brother.

Zhu Chong was also a person who didn't cry out in pain when being beaten, especially in front of so many younger brothers.

Zhu Yuanzhang attacked in anger at this time, and one can imagine how much strength he used.

But he just gritted his teeth and said nothing.

It seemed that if I shouted it out, I would lose so much face that I wouldn't be able to hold my head up in front of my younger brothers.

Prince Jin Zhu Gang, seeing his second son being beaten so miserably, and being overwhelmed by his father's aura, his legs went weak and he wanted to kneel down.

Then he thought to himself that he has always been an outstanding person and never makes trouble, so he held back.

He began to watch with Lao Wu and others the heroic image of his second brother being beaten.

Tsk tsk, you know what, second brother is really tough!

This big shoe sole is swung in a circle and hits you, it just hurts just watching!

The second brother didn't say a word!
Second brother is worthy of being second brother, a role model for us!

After making sure that he had not made any mistakes recently and would definitely not be beaten by his father, Zhu Gang's mentality suddenly changed.

"Quick! Go to Kunning Palace and invite the Queen Mother over!!!"

Zhu Biao saw that his father was beating his second son like a madman and he couldn't stop him at all, so he immediately used his trump card!

"Qiu! Calling your mother all the time, what kind of ability is that?!"
