In his later years, Boss Zhu loved to write books to criticize people. From corrupt officials to unfilial children, he complained about everything, and even published it in a book, nailing it to the pillar of shame in history.
In the 20th year of Hongwu, in order to warn his descendants and ask the vassal king to correct his behavior, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a book called "Imperial Records", which recorded the evil deeds done by the vassal kings from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. Even his sons also
Can't escape.
This is of course the credit of Jin Yiwei, who allowed Boss Zhu to grasp the dirty information about his sons at the first time.
Needless to say, later generations had a lot of negative comments about the first generation of Ming vassal kings. In fact, most of the credit is due to Boss Zhu. Because the content of this book is so exciting and it is written in vernacular, even a novice in history like Zhu Zhen
Seen them all.
In fact, in the past dynasties, there were many princes and nobles who were not good people, but they were all kept secret by the nobles. It was too late for the historians to cover up, so how could they expose their family scandals?
Only a man as jealous as Boss Zhu would expose his sons' misdeeds to the public, regardless of the royal family's face, right?
In this book, he recorded in detail the crimes of more than a dozen of his sons. Among them, the one with the most scandalous information was the King of Qin, Zhu Ping.
Let me briefly mention a few things that impressed Zhu Zhen deeply——
"The fake servant Wang Pozi was a messenger from the palace of the Yuan Dynasty. She took her to live in the palace and listened to her teachings and misbehaves. As a result, Wang Pozi often lured her sons Wang Er and Wang Liu into and out of the palace.
"Master Fan was allowed to go in and out of the palace, so that his son Fan Baobao stayed in the palace pretending to be an official as usual.
‘After cleaning the palace, a man was found sleeping on the dragon bed.
'Leave it to Zhao Hu'er and others to come and go from the palace...'
The majestic first prince of the Ming Dynasty actually tolerated all kinds of men staying in his palace like visiting the vegetable market. This is such a broad-minded mind.
If the Prince of Qin’s Mansion has color, then it must be color-forgiving, right?
In addition, Deng has been unhappy since she became a concubine. In order to please her, Zhu Feng specially sent people to the coastal chief secretary to buy Zhucui, which ruined the people's families.
He also carried out extensive construction work in the palace, and ordered soldiers and civilians to build pavilions and ponds in the palace, where he and Deng tortured the palace people for fun. Boss Zhu reprimanded him as "ignorant of human affairs and as stupid as an animal."
But these sensory stimulations can only make Deng happy for a while. Within a few days, she will start to be unhappy again, because Zhu Ping has never been able to abolish the Mongolian princess and set her right.
She tortured the palace people even more pervertedly, indulged in luxury, and committed all kinds of debauchery. She also encouraged Zhu Ping to put the concubine under house arrest elsewhere, and only used inferior utensils to pack stale food and fruits for poor Minmin every day.
.
The most outrageous thing is that in order to fulfill Deng's dream of becoming a royal concubine, Zhu Ping even ordered people to make the queen's clothes for Deng to wear, and at the same time, he made the bed in his bedroom into a five-claw dragon bed.
The five-clawed dragon is for the exclusive use of the emperor!
Boss Zhu finally couldn't bear it anymore and issued an edict to denounce the King of Qin for "being rude and disrespectful, which is the most serious crime", and directly killed Deng. Fortunately, the prince tried his best to deal with it, and the King of Qin retained the throne. However, the crime was exposed to the public by his father, and it had actually become a social problem.

"To be honest, this is mainly due to King Qin himself." After listening to Zhu Zhen's story, Liu Bowen commented:
"Just like Daji did to Emperor Xin, and Praise Si did to King You, we can't put all the blame on women. In the final analysis, this is still a man's world."
"That's true." Zhu Zhen said with a bitter face: "My second brother has not been smart since he was a child, and this can't be changed. He will follow whoever he learns from, and if he marries a bad woman, he will be completely ruined."
"Indeed, if the family has a good wife, the husband will not suffer any disaster." Liu Bowen nodded and said, "The daughter of King Qin and Duke Wei is indeed not a good match."
"Master, how can I help the second brother?" Zhu Zhenba looked at him and said. The second brother refused to listen to advice. He couldn't tell his family about the future...
"Oh, you didn't tell me earlier. Now you are in trouble. The emperor has made an engagement with Deng Yu." Liu Bowen took a sip of tea and said: "There are many people who know about this. The impact of breaking off the engagement is too bad, and the emperor will never do it.
Offending Duke Wei."
"No, my second brother wants the whole world to know that he is marrying a new wife." Zhu Zhen said speechlessly: "It is because it is difficult that I asked Master for help. Zhen is the omnipotent Liu Bowen!"
"Don't do this." Liu Bowen didn't want to be fooled by him, and said calmly: "The only things you worry about for your teacher are military and national affairs. This kind of thing will bring you a loss of status."
"Then don't think about the big things in the future." Zhu Zhen curled his lips. "Besides, this is not only related to my second brother's personal happiness. It is also related to the well-being of the people of Xi'an and even Shaanxi Province!
"
"Oh, okay." Liu Bowen said helplessly: "Who asked Master to pamper you?"
Zhu Zhen rolled his eyes secretly, believing that he was a big-headed ghost and a bad old man who was very bad.
Then Liu Bowen coughed slightly and said, "Actually, you have allies in this matter."
"Who?" Zhu Zhen asked in surprise.
"That's Mrs. Deng herself." Liu Bowen said calmly: "The eldest daughter of Duke Wei has been arrogant and arrogant since she was a child. I don't think she may be willing to be this concubine."
"Well, that makes sense." Zhu Zhen nodded. She is the eldest daughter of a dignified prince, so it's understandable.
"And I heard that Miss Deng is very worried." Liu Bowen had an expression on his face that every man would understand.
"Wow, doesn't Master only care about national affairs? How come he even knows such gossip about juniors?" Zhu Zhen understood and asked in surprise.
"Stop talking nonsense." Liu Bowen coughed covertly and said, "I only heard about it by chance. You have to find out for yourself what is going on."
"Hey, that's enough!" Zhu Zhen stood up excitedly, gearing up and said: "I didn't expect that she is not a fuel-efficient lamp now, so I will always find a way to kill her!"
"Oh, it's not good for you, a child under twelve years old, to get involved in this kind of thing." Liu Bowen couldn't help but shook his head and said: "My teacher wants to mold you into a wise king with both civil and military skills. You don't have to worry about your mother-in-law all day long.
King Xian."
"Just me? Return the virtuous king?" Zhu Zhen had a clear understanding of himself.
"Everyone says you are who you are, but you are also if you are not." Liu Bowen smiled lightly and said: "Go ahead and come early the day after tomorrow. Continue to talk about how the landlords in Jiangnan are not human beings."
"Hey." Zhu Zhen responded. Master and disciple bowed to each other and left.

When Zhu Zhen came out of the study, he saw Liu Li holding a book in the yard and staring at the sky in a daze. It was very similar to the way he looked when he was studying.
"Ahem." He walked over and coughed.
"Ah, junior uncle, are you out of class?" Liu Li turned to him and smiled sweetly, a smile that could penetrate people's hearts.
"What did you call me?" Zhu Zhen took a while to come to his senses.
"Young junior uncle?" Liu Li suddenly said with big eyes: "You worship my grandfather as your disciple, I don't care what you call my junior junior uncle?"
"Oh, you don't want to be called 'little', right?" Then she said clearly: "Then shall I call you Uncle Master, or Uncle Zhu?"
"..." The corner of Zhu Zhen's mouth twitched a few times, and after a while he said depressedly: "Let's call him Junior Uncle."
"I know, little uncle." Liu Li took out a candy from his purse, handed it to Zhu Zhen and said, "You have worked hard in class, please have some candy."
