Chapter 607 Zhang Xiang returned to the loyal Yingtian
Zhu Di is smaller than the other two, but this guy is naturally strong. He can ride a pony even if he wears crotchless pants. He is a tiger cub, so if he fights one against two, there will be no problem.
Otherwise, Zhu Lao Er and Zhu Lao San would not have called for help.
Although the young eunuchs did not dare to hurt the prince, they could surround Zhu Di, restrict his fists and feet, and then let the two princes take action to teach this stinky brother a lesson.
Zhu Di really suffered a loss the first few times and was beaten quite badly.
But this kid Zhu Di has a lot of energy. He didn't ask for help, he just figured out a way by himself. He got a rolling pin from nowhere and hid it on his body. When the second and third children were not paying attention, he chased the two of them.
Start. He hits him once, the second and third brother ask people to double the revenge, and then Zhu Di does a super double...
Anyway, they were going back and forth, causing a lot of trouble.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was just a fight between children and was insignificant. They did not dare to disturb Zhu Yuanzhang, so they suppressed it like this.
It has to be said that Zhu Di suffered more overall because of his young age and being alone.
But today is different.
Lao Zhu and Queen Ma were holding the battle from behind. He shouted and silenced Lao Er and Lao San. They did not dare to make a move. Zhu Dike seized the opportunity.
He attacked the group of young eunuchs.
"I'll let you act as a villain, let you bully me! Let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
Zhu Di gritted his teeth, "I hate those who can't carry me the most. If it weren't for your instigation, those two bastards would dare to attack me?"
Zhu Di scolded and beat him at the same time. The young eunuchs did not dare to fight back and could only hide. However, the place was very narrow and they were beaten until they howled like ghosts.
Zhu Di was still angry and pointed at a eunuch and cursed fiercely: "And you, what are you saying about helping the prince? Don't let me take the position in the East Palace! I'll beat you to death!"
Zhu Di picked up the bolt of the door and hit it on the head, causing blood to splatter and the little eunuch almost fell down.
"Your Highness, help!"
When Zhu Laoer saw his father, the empress, and the empress, he felt very guilty, but he also shouted: "Fourth brother, don't get into trouble and make the father, empress, and empress angry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in front of him.
"Let me beat you, give me a hard beating!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, "Zhu Xiang, tell us the truth. Is there someone who is instigating your brotherly relationship?"
Zhu Fang was panic-stricken and looked desperately at Queen Ma. Unexpectedly, Queen Ma shouted in a low voice, "You beast, don't kneel down yet!"
It was fun now. Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan all knelt down straight and lowered their heads, looking like they had made a big mistake. Zhu Laosi refused to give up, chased and beat him, and continued to scold him. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and said,
He grabbed the collar and raised it directly in front of his eyes.
"Okay, it's not embarrassing enough!"
Zhu Di was even more unconvinced: "Shameful? I'm not afraid. Anyway, if they bully me, I will fight back!"
"Okay!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily again. Zhu Di didn't dare to say anything anymore. He could only flatten his mouth and mutter silently.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his two sons kneeling on the ground and suddenly said: "How many eunuchs are there around you?"
Zhu Xi thought for a while and said: "Yes, there must be more than a dozen!"
"All of them have been laid off! Only a few old and rough eunuchs are left behind!" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Fan again and said solemnly: "The same is true for the third child. All the young eunuchs around the other princes will be abolished!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at these young eunuchs and said coldly: "You instigate the prince, stir up trouble, turn brothers against each other, and make father and son enemies. Ordinarily, we must kill you. But firstly, you are too young, and secondly, you have suffered.
I was stabbed. I will not stab you again because you have suffered, but we will definitely not tolerate evil people like you in this palace! Pack your things now and leave!"
"Expulse them all from the palace and send them to Haozhou. Leave immediately!"
Not only were these little eunuchs beaten severely by Zhu Di, but they were also expelled from the palace. Many of them were frightened and cried.
Zhu Xiang and Zhu Fan were also distressed. They were both playmates. What would they do if they were gone?
The two of them still wanted to talk, but they didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang had vented his anger on them.
"Two bastards! Hu Nong's father is bullying his brothers... How dare you get together and help the boss bully the fourth? When your brother, the prince, comes back, I'll let him skin you!"
Lao Zhu was so angry that after scolding him, he slapped his two sons several times. This time Queen Ma did not stop them.
But Zhu Di was so happy that his little eyes widened.
Hit, hit hard!
However, Lao Zhu didn't go as far as Zhu Di wanted. He just scolded a few words and then told his two sons to get lost. This made Zhu Di very dissatisfied and he hadn't had enough of the beating yet!
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "They are all your brothers, why don't you intercede for them?"
"Pleading for mercy? Why begging for mercy? You're not beaten to death! Besides, I'm living in Prince Lu's Mansion now, playing with Zhang Shuning and the others. Why should I care about their lives?"
Zhu Di spoke righteously and confidently, but Zhu Yuanzhang was still incompetent and lost Zhu Di to Zhang Ximeng. Should a big boy learn to be respectful to his brothers and brothers?
How hypocritical that is!
Lao Zhu took a deep breath and could only say helplessly: "You were beaten and your dignity was shaken. Go to Prince Lu's Mansion and talk to Zhang Shuning about your dignity!"
Lao Zhu waved his hand, and Zhu Di had no choice but to leave, but he also tied the door bolt on his waist. This thing is stronger than a rolling pin, and it hurts more when it hits someone. It belongs to me!
Zhu Laosi ran away happily, like a victorious general.
Looking at his back, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed heavily, looking helpless.
These princes quarrel, play tricks on each other, fight for power, please their father, win over their ministers, and cheer for themselves... Do you think they really understand?
not necessarily!
But who are the people around them?
The gentleman who wants to teach the prince and become the emperor's teacher hopes that they will rise one step higher and ascend to the throne and become emperor, and he will follow the young eunuch who will rise to the top.
There are also a bunch of relatives with ulterior motives.
This group of people get together, gossip, gossip, and indoctrinate day and night... It would be strange if this can be okay?
Let's talk about many emperors. When they were princes, they were good people. Their fathers were kind and their sons were filial, and their brothers and sisters were respectful. They were almost like saints. However, as soon as they ascended the throne, they immediately changed their faces, seamlessly connecting to the absurd emperor. The change of face was comparable to turning the page in a book.
.
If you really grow up in such an environment, acting all day long and pretending to be stupid, and once you come to power, if you don't act recklessly, you will be an outlier!
"Sister, as you said in the past, we were thinking about giving the best to our children, choosing the best husband, and educating them well so that they would have enough food and clothing, peace of mind, and become successful in their studies..."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly, "Did we think wrong?"
Empress Ma sighed helplessly, "I can't be wrong. Isn't it appropriate for us to let Mr. Zhang teach us?"
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, his old face was dull.
To be honest, there was a time when he complained about Zhang Ximeng, feeling that he was not trying his best enough.
But looking at it now, maybe Zhang Ximeng’s stocking method is actually a good method.
Take these bastards as an example, it would be a blessing if they could grow up in an honest manner and not think about things all day long, let alone cause any trouble.
"The Tian family is not an ordinary family after all!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, he remembered that he had better send a decree as soon as possible to let Zhang Ximeng enter the capital!
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to wait and execute a few more officials to vent his anger.
But now I see that there are so many villains in the world. There are such people everywhere in the palace and around the prince. It is impossible to kill them all with just one knife of your own.
Of course, those who deserve to be killed must still be killed. After the killing, Mr. Zhang's wisdom must be relied on to clean up the mess and re-establish the rules.
Take care of all these people from the inside out!
Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to issue an order for Zhang Ximeng to come to Beijing...but the order was sent, but Zhang Ximeng remained indifferent.
Are you kidding me?
I'm still in Peiping!
Go over now. Doesn’t that mean I left my post without permission and put myself in trouble?
Don’t go!
The people who delivered the order were all stupid. Your Highness, King Lu, you are resisting and disobeying the order!
"What kind of rebellion? I'm not in Yangzhou, what kind of decree am I resisting? Or you can let His Majesty issue an order to explain that he asked me to come to Yangzhou secretly, or you can behave yourself and go to the Beiping Remaining Department to issue an order.
Then wait for me to return to Beijing."
It's really lively now. Lao Zhu wants Zhang Ximeng to come to Beijing immediately, but Zhang Ximeng doesn't want to join in the fun!
Having no choice but to struggle for another eight days, Zhang Ximeng finally returned to Yingtian on the boat, wandering around.
Zhang Ximeng's return shocked the government and the public, and everyone looked up to him!
Prime Minister Zhang!
You are finally back!
Everyone is looking forward to it!
Zhang Ximeng did not pretend to be low-key, but instead raised the banner of King Lu, and his cards were full.
In a grand way, we returned to Yingtian.
This time, all the civil and military personnel in the capital, including Li Shanchang, Zhu Sheng, and Li Xi, came to greet him.
"Prime Minister Zhang, you have worked hard to defend the country." Li Shanchang took Zhang Ximeng's hand and burst into tears. He burst into tears. It's hard to say what Zhang Ximeng is like, but he will not directly raise his hand like Zhu Yuanzhang.
Pick up the butcher's knife, check first and then ask questions...
Deaths are so tragic these days, someone must stop Lao Zhu.
"Brother Li, the original intention of me proposing to reform the Salt Law was to supplement the food and salary for the soldiers of the border army so that they could survive! I don't need to say more about how miserable the frontier army was? His Highness the Crown Prince has already said it.
A year-old child, you can’t lie, can you? No matter how many deaths Yingtian has, can they compare to the bloodshed and sacrifice on the frontier?”
"Aren't the lives of soldiers valuable?"
Zhang Ximeng spoke righteously and asked loudly.
Li Shanchang had no choice but to say with shame: "Salt Law, Salt Way! They really deserve to die! They are like a speck of rat excrement that ruined a pot of soup. They corrupted the law and corrupted the national code. They really should be cut into pieces and the nine tribes should be destroyed!"
Everyone else could only agree.
Zhang Ximeng added: "That's what it says, and it's the same principle, but after all, human life is at stake. If we can send some accomplices to the frontiers to serve their crimes, they will not be pardoned in the future, or they can be used as waste, and we will give an explanation to the world."
As soon as Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, Luo Furen immediately said: "This is a wonderful proposal by Prime Minister Zhang! The autumn grain collection is just around the corner, and military supplies must be supplied. There are so many things involved, and the most important thing is for the whole court to work together!"
Zhang Ximeng took a deep breath and said, "What Luo Shangshu said is reasonable, but the thunder and rain are not God's grace! We ministers cannot make decisions for His Majesty."
Zhang Ximeng looked at the big guy again, and then said: "Will you all go into the palace with me, meet His Majesty, and ask for mercy?"
What can the ministers say? With Prime Minister Zhang taking the lead, we have nothing to fear!
Go together, go together!
