Zhu Yunxi finally remembered who this familiar voice was.
Speaking of which, this person is a relative of him, and a very close relative.
His second uncle, the second son of founding Duke Chang Sheng, was also Zhu Yunxi's nominal cousin, Chang Yuan.
Because he was the second son of the family, the hereditary title of the Chang family's military achievements could not fall on him. He also neglected discipline and was a well-known dandy in the capital.
After Zhu Yunxi ascended the throne in the East Palace and became the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, this boy became the leader of the naughty children among the meritorious wealthy families in the capital.
At this time, the voices of young people shouting again came from the private room next to it, "Yes, the second brother is the cousin of His Highness the Emperor Taisun. Who are you afraid of? Brothers, the raiders smashed up the brothel.
Drag out that Niao Hanlin and Sister Yao!"
The son of a wealthy family was lawless and full of youthful energy. In an instant, all the people in the private room next to him rushed out in anger.
"This bastard!" Zhu Yunxi's eyes twitched twice.
Listening to Chang Yuan's tone in that room, he was a royal relative with no title or power, and he actually didn't even pay attention to the court officials. And judging from his tone, he often relied on the name of Emperor Zhu Yunxi's grandson on weekdays.
Head, show off your power outside.
Li Jinglong leaned against the window and looked out at the street, and happened to see Chang Yuan with someone angry.
"Third Master!" Li Jinglong whispered, "How about I go and sneak him back?" He said, deliberately lowering his voice and said, "This boy is used to being arrogant. If something really happens, I'm afraid that His Highness's face will be ugly.
nice!"
"Even if Gu's cousin causes trouble, who would dare to pursue him?" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "Who are the people following him?"
Fu Rang stood at the window and looked outside. After hearing this, he turned around and said, "They are all nephews and nephews of noble families in Beijing. They are all the ones who don't learn well, don't know how to make progress, and have no future!"
After finally going out, my good mood disappeared. First I heard about the entanglement between court officials and prostitutes, and then I saw how domineering and majestic my cousin was.
Zhu Yunxi's heart was filled with anger.
Once these second generations of the Ming Dynasty caused trouble, the old man's anger would be unleashed on their father. He finally managed to get the old man to be more tolerant to these distinguished nobles. Unexpectedly, they would not offend. Sons
But he pushed it up.
"Follow them!" Zhu Yunxi stood up with a cold face and gritted his teeth, "Let's see what they are going to do!"
A group of people followed Zhu Yunxi, chasing Chang Yuan and a group of second-generation people, and headed towards the Red Sleeve Tower.
Yingtian Mansion is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to the Qinhuai River that makes people linger, there are also several streets full of brothels in the city. The world's brothels are divided into several grades, the first grade is the building, the second grade is the courtyard, and the third grade is the class. Red Sleeves
The building is naturally a first-class brothel, located on Widow Wang Xiejie not far from Chang'an Street.
A group of second-generation soldiers were carrying slaves and holding sticks and other objects. Pedestrians on the street were afraid to avoid them. A group of soldiers patrolling the streets were about to step forward to check, but they immediately stopped in their tracks.
"When the founding father's government is doing something, it's convenient to send someone out!"
"The Young Marquis of Shenyang is here. If anything happens, I'll talk to your master later!"
"The Third Young Master of the Prince Consort's House is here, please don't come and attack me!"
"Marquis Wu Ding......"
"Wuxinghou......"
"The Marquis of Taiyuan..."
"Jingchuan Hou..."
The wealthy slaves faced the soldiers patrolling the streets and burst out of their homes one after another.
The soldiers patrolling the streets were only led by senior officers, so how could they dare to offend these wealthy children. Besides, these wealthy children were also generous, so a few servants ran over and stuffed a handful of silver coins into them.
Later, Zhu Yunxi laughed angrily and said several good words in a row, "How majestic! The fame that their father and brother exchanged for their heads on the battlefield has actually become a talisman for them to win the limelight in fights!"
At this time, Hongxiu Tower has arrived. Downstairs, there are already three floors inside and three floors outside, and there are people watching the excitement.
Seeing a bunch of young marquis coming at them fiercely, the old madam complained in her heart, but she could only bite the bullet and move forward.
"Hey, gentlemen, you are here so early today! Please come in quickly, I will ask someone to serve you good tea!" The old bustard forced a smile and saw clearly the sticks in the hands of these second generations and the pink on their faces.
Falling down quietly.
"Start!" Chang Yuan, who was at the front of the second-generation team, kicked the old bustard over and cursed, "You know we are masters, ah! You know we are masters, how dare you, a kiln sister, be so shameless!
The master asked him to go out to accompany him, but she wants to accompany Mr. Hanlin. Are you treating me as a master? This is a slap in my face!"
"Second Master!" The old bustard rubbed his belly, struggled to get up from the ground, and cried, "Calm down, it's not that you won't be eliminated, and the slave family dare not not give you face. But, Xiao Xiyun really can't leave.
Come on! You have pity on us, none of us can afford to offend you!"
"You can't afford to offend anyone? But you have offended your second master!" Chang Yuan said angrily, "I boasted so much in front of my brothers, but you just got back at me!" After saying that, he raised his arms and shouted, "
Brothers, smash it for me!"
"Okay!" The second generation rushed in directly.
Amidst the screams of the women, they smashed them with sticks, crackling porcelain, and the sound of smashing tables and chairs. The girls in the brothel cried and ran away in embarrassment, while the idlers watching the excitement outside clapped their hands and applauded.
"Second Master, don't smash it, don't smash it!" The old madam hugged Chang Yuan's leg and cried, "You can give me some face. Do you know who owns the shares in the slave family's yard? How can a female member of the slave family be in the capital?
You have a foothold, and you have a backer behind you. You put out the fire first and find a secluded place to talk to you. If you still don’t feel relieved, it won’t be too late to hit you again..."
It would be fine if he didn't say this. Once he said this, Chang Yuan became even more angry.
"Hey, do you have a backer? You can't fucking say that you think your second master is scared." After saying that, Chang Yuan shouted, "In the Ming Dynasty, who is your second master afraid of? If you don't ask, your second master will be scared."
Who is my cousin? Brothers, smash it for me!"
Ping ping ping pong, there was a lot of noise inside.
"Let's go and catch Xiao Xiyun and Naiao Hanlin!"
Simply lawless.
Zhu Yunxi was in the crowd, his face was blue with anger. That guy Chang Yuan was like shouting to everyone in the capital: The emperor's grandson is my cousin, I don't care about anyone anymore.
"Do these people always behave like this?" Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes and asked Fu Rang.
Fu Rang bowed his head and whispered, "In the early years, these boys just fought in groups. In recent years, they have grown up and started to make trouble!"
In the early years, Fu Rang, the son of Duke Ying, was also a member of the dandy family, so he knew everything about the actions of these second generations.
"Why didn't you tell Gu earlier about these things!" Zhu Yunxi gritted his teeth and said, "The military men of the Ming Dynasty have all lost their face!" As he said, he said angrily, "Their father is not a good person either.
Is there anyone so spoiled with children?"
Fu Rang didn't dare to speak and just lowered his head.
These second generations are all the second sons in the family who have no chance of having a title. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the title and property of the family belong to the legitimate sons, so they can't get anything. And they have no intention of going to the army to polish themselves and earn their own money.
future.
They have the status of a wealthy family, but no future official position. They can only show their prestige and sense of presence through these things. Moreover, these people are the youngest sons of the family, and they are often loved by the elderly and neglected to discipline.
"Remember all their names and tell them to come back to Gu's palace!" Zhu Yunxi continued angrily, "A bunch of useless things!"
I was cursing and thinking in my heart.
"Take care of these people and go back to work at the border! Otherwise, it will be a disaster in the capital!"
What Chang Yuan did was not only a disaster, but lawlessness is an understatement. Just because the brothel girl refused his offer, he led his people to destroy the place, and by the way, he also wanted to benefactors, embarrassing a court official.
Suddenly, a frightening scream came from the Hongxiu Building, and a woman with disheveled hair was dragged directly from the second floor by Chang Yuan's hair.
Beside him were several dandy men, and two middle-aged men in casual clothes.
Zhu Yunxi's face was even more youthful. He knew both of them. One was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, and is now the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Chen Zhixin. The other was the son-in-law of Liu Sanwu, a member of Zhongshushe, whom he personally promoted.
Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs.
"Gentlemen, look at it! This is the Hanlin Master of the Ming Dynasty!" Chang Yuan grinned and shouted loudly to the crowd watching the excitement, "Guess what, in broad daylight, this gentleman and the number one of Hongxiu Tower
Xiao Xiyun, and this one, the three of them had a great time!"
Boom, the crowd burst into laughter.
"You're talking nonsense!" Chen Zhixin struggled in the hands of the two second-generation men and said loudly, "We are just drinking tea!"
"Who believes it?" Chang Yuan said with a bad smile, "In less than an hour, everyone in the capital will know about your special hobby, Mr. Chen!"
"you..............."
Chen Zhixin was so filled with grief and anger that he even cried, "I have no enmity with you, why are you like this? I want to join your Chang family and you!"
Although Hanlin Editor is only the fifth rank, it is a noble official position in the Ming Dynasty, the most noble. When has Chen Zhixin ever been insulted like this? Moreover, if Chang Yuan makes such a fuss, his future will be ruined. Moreover, he will be reduced to the world.
The laughing stock.
"You, the Chang family, are going too far!" Chen Zhixin burst into tears, "I..." As he cursed, his eyes suddenly turned white and he fainted.
"Master Chang, just wait to be seduced!" Zhao Mian, covering his face, also stamped his feet and cursed, "You humiliate an official of the imperial court and you must be executed according to the law. No one can protect you!"
Chang Yuan didn't know him and became even more angry when he heard this.
"Humph, kill me, Grandpa? Go ahead and dream!" He said with a few evil laughs, "This lord, you look at me, where is your duty?"
Suddenly, the old madam ignored the pull of the powerful slaves and rushed over, crying softly, "Ancestor, you are in trouble. This is the minister!"
Chang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and his heart immediately trembled.
He is actually a minister? Let alone him, his father Chang Sheng would not even dare to insult a third-grade minister! That is a Liubu Tang official who directly takes orders from the emperor!
When I heard that he was a servant, the second-generation dandies around him were also a little stupid.
Zhao Mian covered his face and hid at the door, "If you don't want to harm your family, quickly get rid of the crowd and bring Mr. Chen in!"
"Hurry!" Chang Yuan was not so reckless, and he also knew the word "fear".
But just as he was directing his companions to close the door, he suddenly turned to stone.
Then, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, completely glazed over.
In the crowd, Zhu Yunxi was sneering at him with a half-smile, his eyes were cold.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves galloping was heard in the distance.
The crowd avoided one after another. Chang Sheng, the founder of the country, jumped off his horse with a riding crop and cursed angrily, "You traitor, what a good thing you have done!" Although he was scolding his son, his eyes were looking around anxiously.
