Chapter 77: Lack of Heart

Blood is thicker than water, Zhu Fan is his own brother, his younger brother made a mistake, he was very sad to be a big brother, and he never thought of letting him die!

He thinks that it would be good to beat him, reprimand him well, and then punish him to reform himself, but being so by his own son is not as simple as reprimanding.

All the princes looked surprised, and they all looked at Zhu Biao in disbelief.

In their opinion, Zhu Yunwen is just a five-year-old child, and the reason why he says this must be that someone must have taught him, as for who the person who taught him,

Go without saying!

Zhu Biao looked at his younger brothers with complicated, puzzled, and even annoyed expressions, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.

He can understand the feelings of these younger brothers: The throne is yours, if we don't grab it from you, we can't grab it, can't we be the vassal king?

It's all my father's cubs, you can't just let us drink a mouthful of soup, right?

Zhu Yunwen himself didn't know how powerful his words were!

The son doesn't teach, the father and the son do, Zhu Biao knows that he has to do something, otherwise the palace will be uneasy in the future.

"Bastard......!"

Zhu Biao strode forward and raised his hand with a loud palm.

"Smackβ€”β€”!

This slap did not leave the slightest hand, and Zhu Yunwen, who was pumped, stumbled, and everyone was stunned when he sat on the ground, and after a while, tears flowed.

"Biao'er, what are you doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao dissatisfied, his face full of distress.

"Father." Zhu Biao knelt down on one knee and arched his hand, "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, and I hope that my father will not take it to heart." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "Why don't you take it to heart, what this kid said is right!" ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions tightened.

"Father, the second brother is not guilty of ......"

"Alright." Zhu Yuanzhang got up, "King Qin has done a lot of evil, harmed the people, and violated the law of the country, so he can't be tolerated and indulged just because he is our son." ”

After a pause, "Deprive the title for the time being, and imprison it in the Jingshi!" ”

At this moment, Li Qing was shocked.

King Qin...... Nothing?

The princes were even more surprised, they didn't expect their father to be so resolute and ruthless to their own son.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to be punished so severely at first, but after listening to his grandson's words and thinking of the previous concubine Ouyang Lun, he decided to take it seriously.

If the emperor's relatives and relatives are not severely punished, they will be more unscrupulous in the future, and the magistrates will be more and more afraid to offend, and the consequences will be incalculable.

"Don't look at us with that expression." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, "If you don't kill him, it's already a great kindness, if you commit it in the future, it will be the same as him." ”

Zhu Biao knelt down and said: "Father and emperor think twice! ”

"Don't persuade, we've made up our minds!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Ming'er, let's let the Ministry of Industry start building a palace." ”

He glanced at everyone coldly, "If the vassal king does evil in the domain, the Jingshi Wangfu will be his eternal home." ”

The princes' hearts were shocked, and they all changed color in shock.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to Zhu Yunwen and gently touched his little face, "Okay, let's go back!" ”

"The son (grandson) retired."

The princes withdrew from the main hall with trepidation.

"Father, do you really want to be punished so severely?" Zhu Biao asked.

"Otherwise, it's not enough to shock people." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Why can Ouyang Lun smuggle as a colt with great fanfare?

Isn't it because of the royal status? ”

"Brother Ke Fan, he is the ...... of our Zhu family"

"No one." Zhu Yuanzhang said sharply, "Civil officials can be killed, generals can be beheaded, and vassal kings can be abolished, but our Ming Dynasty must not be shaken in the slightest!" ”

"Let go of Zhu Fan today, he will have more Zhu Fan in the future!"

"Father's ......"

"Sensei." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand resolutely, paused, and sighed, "Biao'er, we are old, you are too soft-hearted, there are some things, some rules, we must help you do it before you die, so that it is convenient for you to govern in the future." ”

Zhu Biao nodded bitterly, "What about Xi'an?" ”

"Let his eldest son inherit the title."

"But the eldest son of the second brother is only three years old!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Don't let him manage the government, just enjoy the blessings, just do it." ”

Zhu Biao wanted to say something, but seeing that his father was impatient, he had to give up.

"The retainers retired."

"Take this bastard with you, we don't want to see him again."

"Yes."

Zhu Biao went out and called two eunuchs and took Zhu Zhang, who looked confused, out.

The huge palace was deserted, and only Li Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang were left.

Li Qing arched his hand and said, "I don't know what the emperor commands." ”

"You've worked hard, sit down first!" Zhu Yuanzhang motioned for him to be calm and not to be impatient, and raised his voice, "Someone is coming." ”

In a few moments, two small yellow doors entered in response.

"Let's go and prepare a table of wine and food, let's have two drinks."

"The slave obeys."

The little yellow door exited the main hall, and after two quarters of an hour, he came in with sumptuous dishes, and after plating, and testing for drugs, he retreated again.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the table and sat down, looked back at Li Qing, "Come and have a drink with us." ”

"Uh... Obey the order. ”

Li Qing was very surprised, he never expected that Lao Zhu would leave him and let him accompany him.

This situation ...... Gotta add money!

The royal wine is mellow, the imperial food is delicious, except for Lao Zhu who has a stinky face that affects his appetite a little, everything else is good.

"Hey......" Zhu Yuanzhang put down his wine glass, his face full of loneliness.

Li Qing hurriedly added a glass of wine to him, he knew that Lao Zhu wanted to find someone to talk to him, but he didn't want to get involved in these matters.

"Li Qing!" Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him with a little dissatisfaction.

"The minister is here."

Seeing that he really couldn't hide, Li Qing had no choice but to take the initiative and say, "Why is the emperor sighing? ”

"You say, isn't our father too ruthless?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"This ......," Li Qing pondered for a moment, "The emperor is wise." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even more stinky, "We are most annoyed by these clichΓ©s, tell the truth, there are no outsiders here, no matter what we say, we are not guilty." ”

"The emperor is indeed wise."

Li Qing put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "The emperor is the father of King Qin, but at the same time, he is also the father of the people of the world.

The son bullied the son, and as a father, he naturally had to severely punish the evil party and administer justice to the bullied party. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and nodded slowly, "Your analogy is also appropriate, alas...... The son does not teach the father, after all, we are the father who did not do a good job. ”

He was stunned, "The vassal king is the one who is in trouble, corrupt officials are rampant, the eldest son and the second son are bullying the younger son, we are really... Physically and mentally exhausted! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of wine and said bitterly: "We are just a peasant, we have no lofty ambitions, even if we are emperors, we have never thought of showing our ambitions, we will be ...... forever."

Li Qing filled it for him, and Zhu Yuanzhang drank it all.

He continued, "We just want the people to stop being hungry and cold, and let them have food and clothing;

Let's civilianize the imperial examination, take scholars from the imperial court, and only look at the results regardless of their background, let's think, people who have suffered from skin pain come out to be officials, and they will definitely be able to be a Qing palace, but the result... Alas!

We don't want future generations to suffer what we have suffered, let's give them the title of king, let them have fine clothes and food for a lifetime, but they ...... Don't let us worry. ”

"Sons and sons can't manage well, officials and officials can't manage well, and there are still hungry and cold people in the world...... Our emperor is really a failure. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of bitterness, and he asked very incomprehensibly, "You say, why don't they be content?" ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the vast majority of people will never be satisfied, human nature is like this!" ”

"Yes! There will never be contentment. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "We have killed so many corrupt officials, and the corrupt are still going forward and succeeding, indeed!" ”

Li Qing added him a glass of wine, and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately raised his glass, perhaps because he was in a hurry, he coughed violently.

"Your Majesty, drink less." Li Qing persuaded.

"It's okay, it's full."

Li Qing sighed lightly and poured him another glass.

Zhu Yuanzhang is old.

The hair has turned gray, the wrinkles have deepened, and the eyes are no longer so bright and worrying.

He drank cup after cup, and soon became drunk, muttering to his sister and crying profusely.

At last

Sleep out!

He vented, but Li Qing was bitter and didn't sleep all night.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Zhu Yuanzhang woke up leisurely and saw that Li Qing was still by his side, and his face was somewhat uncomfortable.

"Li Qing."

"Ah, the minister is here." Li Qing hurriedly said, "Erchen drank too much yesterday and didn't remember anything." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turned red, he was a little drunk last night, but he didn't break it, he knew what happened.

After a brief moment of embarrassment, he quickly calmed down.

"Mao Xiang, they should be back soon, when they come back, we will give you a new errand."

Li Qing: "......"

There is a new errand again, the old Zhu family's food is really not delicious!
