Soon the concubine's screams turned into muffled screams.

The other concubines and maids were all trembling.

Zhu Fan continued to eat without changing his face, as if nothing had happened.

The news that the concubine's tongue was cut out reached Wang Xiaoyue.

Wang Xiaoyue asked to see Zhu Zhang.

Zhu Fan asked someone to bring her up, and said lightly: "You are really strange." Let all men avoid the king. But you want to come up, do you want to die like that? ”

Wang Xiaoyue: "Your Highness." The palace people are at fault and should be sent to Yingtian to be punished. After all, they are all people given by the emperor to His Royal Highness. His Highness must not abuse lynching in the palace. ”

Zhu Fan leaned back and thought about it: "Also, every year my father will call someone to check it, and if it is sent to Yingtian, they will definitely complain to my father." ”

The palace people secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Zhu Fan said to the guards: "Come on, beat the slut who has no tongue to death and bury it." Save her from suering. ”

Wang Xiaoyue: "Your Highness can't. ”

Zhu Fan waved his hand: "Send her back, she's so noisy." ”

Wang Xiaoyue was so angry that she yelled at Zhu Fan: "Why don't you kill me, and let me watch you do evil like this." ”

Zhu Fan raised his head and stared at her: "Kill you?" Let you die happily, leaving me alone to be tormented in this world? You want to be beautiful. I just want you to watch me kill people but you can't do it. ”

The guards had already dragged the concubine up.

Zhu Fan said lightly: "Kill her, slow down, not too fast." ”

A younger guard knelt down: "Your Highness, she has not made a mistake, please spare her." ”

Zhu Rong: "Since you can't stand it, let's die with her." Tie him to a tree and let him watch. ”

The guards couldn't bear it, but they didn't dare to disobey, so they could only do it.

first tied up the pleading guard, and then picked up the stick and beat the concubine to death.

"Guess what the king found." Zhu Fan took out a notebook in his arms, opened it and said slowly, "Zhiqiu's diary." It records how the Mongols tortured her. The king wants to let others feel her suffering, little by little. She can't be left alone to suffer. ”

The guards and palace people looked at each other with horror on their faces.

Zhu Fan continued: "She has been frozen, starved, whipped and scalded with a soldering iron...... There's no hurry, let's take our time. ”

He stared at one of the concubines: "It's your turn next." ”

The concubine knelt down: "The concubine is already pregnant with His Royal Highness's flesh and blood, and I beg His Highness to spare the concubine for the sake of the child's face." ”

Zhu Fan stared at her in surprise: "It's been a few months. If you try to deceive the king, the king will only make your death more painful. ”

The concubine trembled and kowtowed: "It's been three months." ”

Zhu Fan thought about it, by the way, the day he just came back from Yingtian, he asked her to vent.

The concubine said tentatively again: "Your Highness, the emperor likes to have many sons and grandchildren. ”

Zhu Fan nodded slightly: "Well, then that's it for today." For the sake of the child's face, this king will spare you for the time being. ”

------

Concubine Li Shu died, and the Li family has been a man with her tail between her since then, and she no longer dares to be a demon.

They understood one thing: under Lao Zhu, it was good to be alive.

Heroes like Zhu Liangzu can be beaten to death in court.

They are relatives who rely on the exploits of their concubines and deceased fathers, and they don't have to hesitate to kill them.

After Lao Zhu announced that he would no longer stand from now on, the harem was temporarily managed by Concubine Guo Hui.

Moreover, he announced that he would return to the early dynasty, and said that now he only listens, and most of the things are still decided by Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao was overjoyed on the surface, saying that Lao Zhu was so happy to return to the court.

In fact, I was very disappointed.

It's too painful to taste absolute power, and suddenly have to be subservient to others.

He knows Lao Zhu too well.

With Lao Zhu's temper, it is impossible to just listen, if he thinks it is inappropriate, he will definitely be twisted to change it.

However, Lao Zhu is still very strong, and he is reluctant to give up his rights so early, which he can understand.

But he is almost thirty, and if he waits any longer, he will also be old.

In fact, Lao Zhu has been paying attention to Zhu Biao's various actions for more than a month.

He was giving Zhu Biao a chance to practice with a real knife and a real gun.

After all, from Queen Ma, he learned one thing: his life also has a limit.

In case he goes suddenly, and Zhu Biao still can't govern independently, the country will inevitably change hands.

After a month's observation, he felt that Zhu Biao was still too anxious.

A lot of things are too idealistic.

To put it bluntly, they don't have enough understanding of the people's feelings, and they still don't understand the temperament of the magistrates.

He knew that Zhu Biao was a little lost, so he dispersed and called Zhu Biao to the study: "We're wondering if we should let you go out again." ”

Zhu Biao glanced at Lao Zhu in surprise.

Lao Zhu said again: "While we are still in good health, you can rest assured to go out and travel the mountains and rivers and observe the people's feelings." When we are not in good health, you can only stay in Yingtian and easily not move. We still want you to inspect whether Xi'an is suitable to be the capital, and by the way, I would like to express my condolences to the various secretaries of the government, and strengthen the feelings with the commanders and guards of each capital, these people who hold the military power of our Ming Dynasty. And your fourth brother has won a few big battles since the beginning of spring, so you should go and see him. These futures are yours, and you need to be aware of all the situations. ”

Zhu Biao suddenly realized, depression was swept away, and he was replaced by emotion.

He choked up: "Father." It's the sons who are shallow. ”

Yes, Lao Zhu is right.

He should take advantage of Lao Zhu's absolute control over the court to familiarize himself with the country he will be in charge in the future.

It's like a wolf pack marking its territory with urine.

I want everyone to know that I, Zhu Biao, am the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty! It's the leader of these wolves!!

Otherwise, these generals only know the King of Xiang!

He also wants to go to see Zhu Fan and Zhu Di.

Let's see how strong they are now, and whether they can still be loyal to him forever in the future as they promised at the beginning of Yingtian.

Zhu Biao Lao Zhu said: "Now that the weather is good, you ponder and ponder, see how to inspect, set a route, and who to take with you." Let's get someone to cooperate with you. ”

In fact, it is to ask Zhu Bai to cooperate with Zhu Biao.

After all, now the bureaucracy is all over the country, and the post stations are all over the roads between the state capitals.

In addition, Zhu Bai is rich and well-connected.

No one uses Zhu Bai, which is convenient, fast and reliable.

"Yes." Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Father." Erchen built a brocade guard. ”

Lao Zhu waved his hand: "It's okay, you build." You need a bunch of people who are loyal to you in the first place. Otherwise, how can you sit firmly in this seat. You don't have to think about what we think. ”

Zhu Biao's tears welled up in his eyes, and he trembled his lips and said, "Father." I'm sorry, you're so sad for a while, your son should accompany you more. ”

Lao Zhu patted him on the shoulder: "We have no wife, you have no mother, you are more sad than us." We know that you are a filial child. Your mother told you to govern the country well, but you are just filial to your mother and us in another way, so you don't have to feel guilty. Those who achieve great things are not informal. Don't keep looking back, keep your head down. When you get to the location you think of the most, there is time to slowly remember these things. ”
