As a smart person like Lao Zhu, when he thinks about what happened before and after, he will naturally understand the secret and tremble with rage.
"These old ladies are really becoming more and more lawless. They actually instigate the young master like this. Someone, come here and capture Grandma Li. I want to interrogate her myself."
The two tigers over there responded and got busy.
Zhu Bai said softly: "It's cold. Should I ask the palace officials to get some clothes for my sister to change into?"
Lao Zhu patted his forehead lightly: "I'm so angry. You three go back and change clothes first. I will handle this matter naturally."
He took a solemn look at Zhu Bai and Zhu Di: "You two handled it very well tonight. Don't worry, no matter how favored the concubine is, it is not as important as you two. I will definitely give you an explanation and establish a good relationship in the harem."
rule."
Zhu Bai and Zhu Di saluted: "Thank you, father."
Then he left with Zhu Ju.
Zhu Di waited until Zhu Ju was taken away by the palace guards, then turned to look at Zhu Bai and said, "Don't be soft-hearted. It is you who will suffer if you are soft-hearted."
Zhu Bai naturally knew what he meant and nodded gently: "I understand."
Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder without saying anything and left.
------
Zhu Ju returned home and became seriously ill, and then she became completely honest.
She seemed to suddenly understand one thing: no matter how much her relatives and palace officials indulged her, death would not condone her, and if she continued to be willful, her life would really be lost.
Erhu went to catch someone, but Nanny Li had already hung herself from the beam with her belt and was dead.
Although this confirmed her crime, it was impossible to find out who instigated her.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he had Grandma Li whipped to death.
He also summoned all the palace officials to watch.
He also said: Whoever dares to be instigated to murder the prince in the future will suffer this.
Fugui and the others were also called away, but when they came back their faces were sallow and no one had the appetite to eat dinner.
The scene must have been quite tragic and disgusting.
Queen Ma knelt in front of the Qianqing Palace to apologize to Lao Zhu, saying that he did not manage the harem properly.
She knelt for a full hour before Lao Zhu came out and called her up.
It's really unprecedented.
Come to think of it, Lao Zhu always hated the intrigues in the harem, let alone using his daughter as a tool to harm his son, which naturally made him extremely angry.
Zhu Bai and Zhu Di knew that even if Empress Ma did not instigate this matter, it was her acquiescence.
But firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, even if there was evidence, it would not do anything to Queen Ma, so they had no intention of getting entangled.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was not very interested in the Ten Articles of War and Horses submitted by Zhu Di, called several princes to the Imperial Study Room the next day and began to seriously discuss the matter.
Zhu Ping and the others were obviously much more active today than before.
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang made ten decisions and said meaningfully: "Governing a country, a city, and a family are nothing more than the word 'rules.' The rules for governing a country are laws, and the rules for governing a family are family rules. Only by strictly following the rules can the rules be fulfilled."
It is useful, otherwise corrupt officials and bullies will run rampant, and the people will have a hard time living. From now on, you are all going to govern a vassal country. There are certain principles that you must be clear in your hearts and must not be thrown away for anyone."
This sentence was obviously meant for Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan.
The more Zhu Xiang and Zhu Fan thought about it, the more uncomfortable they became.
In fact, Concubine Li Shu had said before that when they went to the feudal territory, they would ask their uncles to help them.
Now that I think about it, what Li Shufei said about helping was actually asking her uncles to follow her and make a fortune.
-----
The five soldiers and horsemen all ordered people to copy the ten items on red paper and black ink characters and paste them in the most popular and conspicuous place in the city.
Then every merchant in the city is conducting self-examination.
Those who occupied the road for business, piled rubbish indiscriminately, dug holes randomly, and tampered with the scales all quietly changed their ways.
Zhu Di and the other five will start patrolling with their own people starting today. Anyone who violates the Ten Rules of the Army and Horses Division will be severely punished.
Today Lao Zhu specially told Zhu Bai to follow Zhu Ping.
Zhu Bai was puzzled: Zhu Ping is already a grown man, why do you want my child to follow him?
Besides, the Li family is not in Xicheng either.
Only when Zhu Bai followed Zhu Xi to Xicheng did he know the reason.
Xicheng is full of slums!
The gangsters are all here.
Zhu Ping's temperament means that although he often bullies others, he hates evil as much as he hates it and cannot bear to see others doing evil.
By then, catching thieves will be exhausting.
Zhu Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly: Lao Zhu thinks too highly of me. Zhu Xi is as strong as an ox. When the time comes, he will go crazy. How can I stop him?
Thinking about Zhu Xi's future visit to the Qin Dynasty, the people there were fierce and fierce, and there were many rogue Mongolians causing trouble. It was somewhat similar to the situation in Xicheng now.
Zhu Fang was completely unaware of Zhu Bai's distress and said as he walked: "Twelfth brother, it was my brother's fault last time. Later, when you finish patrolling with me, I'll treat you to something delicious as an apology."
Zhu Bai's heart moved and he said: "Hey, there's no need to wait, let's do it now. I'm tired from walking, let's find a place to sit down and rest. I heard there is a good teahouse nearby."
In fact, he knew about a ridiculous teahouse, but he just wanted to find a place where he could sit down with Zhu Fang down and spend the whole day there.
Tomorrow he will patrol in a different place. If Zhu Ping catches thieves or beats people, it has nothing to do with him.
Zhu Fang sneered at Zhu Bai: "Aren't you usually very capable? Why do you get tired so quickly today? I think you are a paper tiger, and you can scare others."
Zhu Bai grinned: "That's right. I have thin arms and legs, but I can't compare to my second brother who is strong and mighty."
Zhu Ping was so flattered by Zhu Bai that he felt comfortable and forgot about his mission. Seeing that there was a teahouse in front of him, he took Zhu Bai in.
The guards were asked to drink tea on the first floor, and they went up to the second floor and found a seat to sit down.
Looking from here, you can have a panoramic view of the low and dilapidated tile-roofed houses and thatched shacks in Xicheng.
This is indeed a slum in Yingtianfu. Compared with the wealthy families in Beicheng and Dongcheng, it is heaven and earth.
This teahouse is the only upscale place in this area.
Zhu Xi ordered a pot of the best West Lake Mingqian Longjing, a few plates of snacks, roasted seeds and nuts, and preserved fruits.
With nimble hands and feet, the little boy quickly put all the fruits and snacks on the table and set up a table.
While Zhu Bai was eating, he asked Zhu Xi: "What does second brother do for fun in the palace on weekdays?"
Zhu Xi, who was also playful in nature, was aroused by the topic and said: "When I came back from the martial arts lecture in Zhongdu, I told Zhiqiu about you roasting sparrows in the temple. After Zhiqiu heard this, he was greedy for the roasted sparrows. We
I followed your example and set traps in the yard to catch sparrows. But I couldn’t catch a single one all day long. I guess the sparrows in Yingtian City are not short of food. We could only buy a few turtle doves and roast them.
It’s so beautiful to sit and drink wine and eat roasted turtle dove while admiring the snow.”
Someone came up the stairs "dong dong dong" and entered the next door.
Then the shopkeeper came to Zhu Bai's dining room and knocked on the door.
Zhu Xi was very unhappy to be disturbed. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
The shopkeeper bowed and said, "I'm sorry, gentlemen. There are distinguished guests next door. The second floor is reserved. Please move to the first floor."
