Qian Yiai and Xia Wanchun heard the princess say this, their old faces turned red, and the two of them hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty made a mistake, so that the princess smiled!" ”

Ma Ning'er said with a smile: "The two gentlemen are the prince's henchmen, so it will inevitably make the subordinates watch the excitement, and please stop the two gentlemen, and it will not be too late to have a chance to fight in the future!" ”

When the crown princess spoke, the two naturally wanted to listen, at this time, Qian Yiai and Xia Wanchun were both disheveled, so they hurriedly gave up their hands and retired, and returned to their homes to change clothes without mentioning it.

Just when Qian Xia and the two were fighting, the prince had already come to the gate of the Chu Palace.

Zhu Hongsan has always been good to his son, and Zhu Jiang, the king of Qin, and Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, both have a good palace.

Zhu Huai had already received a message from the eunuch, saying that the emperor's holy decree was coming, so Zhu Huai took everyone in the palace to kneel at the door to greet the holy decree.

Zhu Huai saw that the prince rode a tall horse to his mansion, and he didn't know what the holy decree was, so he quickly kowtowed and said: "Son-in-law Zhu Huai welcomes the emperor's holy decree!" ”

It was a little eunuch who came to deliver the decree, after glancing at the prince, he opened the decree and began to read it, the more Zhu Huai listened, the more frightened he became, and his father scolded him in the decree, first from when he was a child, he didn't study well, and until he grew up, he was greedy and lustful, and it was possible to abolish Zhu Huai's throne according to this posture.

In the end, the holy decree said that the prince should supervise and beat Zhu Huai ten boards, so that Zhu Huai could be a good man in the future.

Zhu Huai fainted when he heard this, the prince was not on good terms with himself, and he came to supervise that he would not fight to death? Zhu Huai has one hundred and eighty pounds, and these ten boards are enough for him to lie down for half a year.

Just when Zhu Huai was about to be beaten, Zhu Hai, who had seen laughing as he expected, suddenly knelt down and cried to the eunuch who delivered the decree: "My father is out on an expedition, and Erchen is the eldest son, but he didn't take care of his younger brother, this time the third brother made a mistake, and Erchen is also responsible, please allow Erchen and the third brother to be punished together!" ”

The eunuch who delivered the decree was dumbfounded when he saw this situation, he was a messenger, and he could represent the emperor to some extent, but it did not mean that he was the emperor, what should I do if this situation occurs now?

The little eunuch didn't know how to reply, and turned his head to look at Han Qi, the chief eunuch of the palace who came with him.

Han Qi and the prince have a good relationship, and as soon as they see the prince's appearance, they know that this young master is going to sell well, so Han Qi sighed and said, "Hey! The crown prince is really a brother, but the country has national laws, and the emperor issued an order to punish the king of Chu, which has nothing to do with the prince, please send Qin to carry out His Majesty's holy decree! ”

Getting Han Qi's hint, the little eunuch nodded, and the four wrestlers from the East Factory on the side stepped forward to rip off Zhu Huai's pants, revealing a fart full of fat and eggs.

Of course, these Dongchang wrestlers know in their hearts, and the one who was beaten was the prince, so the board was raised high and put down lightly, and the slapping was quite loud and the injury was not serious.

Zhu Hai saw the third Zhu Huai being beaten on the side, and he was relieved in his heart. But Zhu Hai has another purpose today, that is, to be beaten for his younger brother, and he has to pretend to be like him to the end.

When Zhu Hai checked the number and hit the six rods, he pushed away the eunuch beside him and lay on Zhu Huai, crying: "Third brother, my brother is sorry for you, my brother has suffered for you!" ”

Originally, Zhu Huai didn't have any six canes, but the skin was open on the surface, and he looked bloody and actually raised for half a month like a good person. But Zhu Hai pounced, two wrestlers lost their heads in their hands, and these two sticks hit a lot harder, and Zhu Huai screamed like killing a pig.

The remaining two wrestlers saw the prince lying on Zhu Huai's body, the prince was wearing a yellow dragon robe, and he was the prince of the country, these two wrestlers didn't dare to fight, so they had no choice but to look at Han Qi.

Han Qi sighed and said, "The prince's brother has a deep affection, since the prince wants to accept it for the king of Chu, the remaining two rods will be borne by the prince!" ”

With Han Qi's order, the two wrestlers dared to put down their canes, but they didn't dare to really fight, just to mean it, and the prince's clothes were not broken.

After the ten canes were beaten, the little eunuch who passed the decree stepped forward to check his injuries, and he also had to report Zhu Huai's injuries to the emperor.

Zhu Huai was beaten enough, and then the two sticks were really beaten, Zhu Huai's ass was completely open, and blood flowed all over the ground.

After reading it, the little eunuch nodded and said: "On the order of the emperor, the king of Chu received eight strokes of the court staff out of ten, and the prince received two strokes on his behalf!" Can the prince see clearly? ”

The holy decree made it clear that the crown prince would be imprisoned, so Zhu Hai struggled to get up and knelt down and said, "Erchen confirmed that this is exactly the case!" Please reply to my father! Zhu Hai didn't feel good after those two blows, although his buttocks were not broken, his legs were also numb and abnormal.

The little eunuch nodded, and then led people back to Guangxi to resume his life, and the Nanjing incident came to an end.

However, several bigwigs in Nanjing had mixed reactions after knowing the prince's actions, and Ma Jiyuan didn't say anything after hearing it, but just nodded lightly, saying that the prince did a good job, and he looked like a prince of a country. After hearing this, Ma Mingyuan only said two words: "It's over!" I don't know if it was said that the prince had done it or the king of Chu had done it. After hearing this, Tong Yangjia sneered three times and said, "It seems that the prince has also learned to buy people's hearts!" ”

When the news reached Zhu Hongsan in Guangxi, Zhu Hongsan didn't say anything, nor did he ask the little eunuch about the cause and effect, but just sighed.

In fact, these people are all old fritters, and they can't see that the prince is acting like this, but Ma Jiyuan thinks that the prince should be like this, no matter what he thinks in his heart, what he wants is to show the world that the prince is a benevolent monarch. Ma Mingyuan knows the prince too well, everyone knows that the prince is benevolent, this kind of bitter trick is useless at all, but it makes others feel that the prince has no scheming. Tong Yangjia also knows what kind of person the prince is, and being able to use this kind of lame bitter trick shows that the prince has grown up, and the current strategy is lame, but it may not be in the future.

As a father, Zhu Hongsan was disappointed, Zhu Hongsan asked the prince to be a prisoner to see what Zhu Hai did. If Zhu Hai used this identity to give Zhu Huai a hard time, Zhu Hongsan would instead glance at Prince Gao. Because the position of the emperor is not easy to do, he can't sit in this position if he is not ruthless. Thinking that Zhu Hai* would make a lame bitter trick for the sake of fame, Zhu Hongsan was really disappointed.

Zhu Hongsan thought that the crown prince was too weak, and if he became the emperor in the future, he would not be able to control those ministers in the court. The third Zhu Huai is more than ruthless, but he has no bearing, he is a cautious eye at all, and such a person cannot be a prince. The second Zhu Jiang is now far away in the Wa Kingdom, I don't know how he is, maybe you can observe it.

Although Zhu Hongsan was upset about the heir's affairs, he just thought about it, after all, Zhu Hongsan was just thirty-five years old, just in the prime of life, and it was estimated that there were still twenty or thirty years to live, so the heir issue was not in a hurry, maybe there were suitable candidates among the other young princes.

Zhu Hongsan now has all his thoughts on the ethnic minorities in Guizhou, Zhu Hongsan has not been to Yungui before, and in his impression he still thinks that Yungui is the same as Liangguang, although there are some ethnic minorities, but they have been assimilated by the Han nationality. But after Zhu Hongsan entered Liping Mansion, he found that it was not what he thought it was at all.

Yunnan-Guizhou is different from the surrounding Liangguang Sichuan, which has been sinicized for a long time, and a large number of ethnic minorities have really become ethnic minorities, and they can only survive in remote mountainous areas. However, Yunnan and Guizhou are different, the Han people here have become a minority, and the Han people can only stay around the only few cities, and the other vast mountainous areas are a large area of Yi, Dong, and Miao people.

Yungui is not like Sichuan and Liangguang, Sichuan was the territory of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Liangguang was also conquered by the Central Plains Dynasty during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

However, Yungui is different, the Central Plains Dynasty really implemented effective rule over Yungui at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and before the Song Dynasty, it was still the world of Nanzhao. The Yuan Dynasty set up tusi in various parts of Yunnan and Guizhou, and these toasts were nominally obeying the orders of the imperial court, but in fact, all places were independent kingdoms. In the Ming Dynasty, it also followed the governance methods of the Yuan Dynasty, but the ethnic minorities in Guizhou were divided and co-opted, and the liuguan was implemented in various places, that is, the Han people were used as magistrates.

This policy, of course, caused a backlash from the local Tusi, and the Tusi rebellions in Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty occurred one after another. The relatively large ones are the rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Banzhou in the fourteenth year of Wanli, the rebellion of luxury in the first year of the Apocalypse, and the Shapu rebellion in the fourth year of Chongzhen. These three minority rebellions are inherently oppressive and enslaved by local Han officials, but the main contradiction is that some local Tusi who have been passed down for dozens of generations in Yunnan and Guizhou are not ready to hand over their rights, and they still want to be an independent kingdom as before.

Zhu Hongsan entered Guizhou on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and his first stop was Liping Mansion, an important town in southeastern Guizhou. Liping Mansion was established in the 12th year of Yongle, with a total of 14 chief officials, a San Lang Division and a San Lang Division Tushe. Liping is located at the junction of Guizhou, Hunan and Guizhou provinces and the transition area from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the hills in the south of the Yangtze River, the elevation of the entrance of the Liping River Valley is the lowest in Guizhou, and it is the bridgehead of Guizhou to the east and the two lakes in the south. Liping is still the province with the most Han people in the whole Guizhou except Guiyang, so Zhu Hongsan decided to enter Guizhou from here.

When Zhu Hongsan entered Liping with a large army, the officials who were originally loyal to Zhu Youlang had already received the news, and Liu Zhen, the prefect of Liping, had no choice but to take the officials of the city out of the city to welcome the new master.

Zhu Hongsan was actually quite good to these surrender factions, after all, there were not so many officials under him to take over the newly occupied places, so all these surrendering officials who did not resist were retained.

Liu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief after getting the news that he was retained in his original position, but he heard that this Shenwu Emperor is not a good thing, and he heard that he loves his wife the most, but it doesn't seem to be anything, he is ordinary, he is taller, and the others are no different from ordinary people.
