Ming Dynasty Zhu Di: Dad, why are you not dead?! Chapter 115 Cutting off the brother-in-law! How to reform the imperial examination? Real and fake Zhu Houzhao! (5.4k please follow up!)
Chapter 115 Cutting off the brother-in-law! How to reform the imperial examination? Real and fake Zhu Houzhao! (5.4k please follow up!)
"Brother, wait."
The Zhang brothers turned a corner in the direction of Chenglong Pavilion. After walking for more than ten meters, Zhang Yanling suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Heling looked at his younger brother Zhang Yanling who suddenly stopped and frowned, showing a bit of displeasure.
"Why, are you still afraid?"
"That old man Zhou Yu is a relative of the emperor, so you and I are not relatives of the emperor?"
"What's more, we won the battle in the ninth year of Hongzhi's reign, and we can still be afraid of this old bird who is about to die!"
When talking about the ninth year of Hongzhi, Zhang Heling's face showed a look of pride. That battle was his proudest battle.
It was a spontaneous gathering of various types of civilians and took place on the streets of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It was an unprecedented mass fight in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
The general process: Zhou Yu and Zhang Heling met by chance while wandering on the street. They had always disliked each other, and they didn’t know who provoked them first. Anyway, they got into it in a confused manner in the end. Both of them were not afraid of serious trouble.
The master turned around and started shaking people crazily, and soon the total number of people on both sides reached thousands.
Following the orders given by the two leaders, the thousands of gangsters started a "big battle" on the streets of the capital. The officers and soldiers arrived in time, but no one dared to step forward to stop them. They all stayed aside.
Watch the excitement.
Nonsense, both sides are relatives of the emperor. One side is the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor, and the other side is the brother-in-law of the Supreme Emperor. Who can afford to offend them?
In the end, this incident alarmed the Forbidden City, and the emperor personally issued an order to finally put an end to this farce.
Although Zhu Youtang used a conciliatory approach afterwards, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Zhang family actually won in the end.
Because Zhu Youtang issued an order to punish Zhou Yu, but Zhang Heling didn't do anything wrong. He even gave Zhang Heling a sum of consolation money. When he was tired from the fight, he asked him to go home and buy a chicken to replenish his health.
The dog-eat-dog deeds of the two foreign relatives on the streets of the capital suddenly became a joke in the capital.
This is a fight between two families. Similar to this kind of armed fight, the two families basically have a fight every once in a while. It is a back-and-forth fight, which is very enjoyable.
And the literary fight is also very interesting.
In the sixteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, Zhou asked Hongzhi for 800,000 yuan of salt. As soon as Zhang got the news, he was dissatisfied, and turned around and asked Hongzhi for 960,000 yuan of salt. Hongzhi agreed without much thought.
Yanyin is the lifeblood of the country. The good guy gave out 1.76 million in one go, and the Ministry of Household Affairs exploded on the spot.
"No, big brother, I didn't mean that."
Zhang Yanling thought for a moment and took out a three-inch long exquisite gold dagger from his sleeve.
When the knife appeared, Zhang Heling's pupils shrank, he reached out to cover the knife in Zhang Yanling's hand, and looked around to see if anyone was there.
"Yanling, what do you want to do when you bring a knife into the palace?!"
His two brothers are definitely the second and most arrogant young masters of the Hongzhi Dynasty. Zhang Heling naturally knows this.
But no matter how crazy you are, there is a limit.
The two brothers can rob the people's fields, they can rob the nobles' fields, they can use black and other color attributes among the people, they can influence the country's lifeline, and they can even force maids in the palace.
You can even kill people, and they did.
With Ming's strongest protective umbrella, they will all be safe and sound.
But there's only one thing they can't do.
That is, rebellion.
Bringing a sharp knife into the palace to meet the emperor, once this matter was exposed, there was no need for any review at all. It could be defined as treason on the spot. Even Zhu Youtang would probably have opinions on them.
"Brother, you are thinking wrongly."
Zhang Yanling chuckled.
"Think about it, if we go to see His Majesty like this, Your Majesty will at most fine that old man Zhou Yu tens of thousands of taels of silver. But if we go there with wounds, it will be different. Maybe Your Majesty will be so angry that he will fine him directly.
Dead!"
"Since we want to do it, we have to kill the old man named Zhou!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Heling suddenly became happy.
"What a great idea. I usually see you as a stupid guy, but I didn't expect you to be so smart at the critical moment. I'll just do what you said."
"Then I'll do it."
Zhang Yanling smiled.
"Okay, let's do it."
Zhang Heling thought to himself, it’s not about cutting me anyway.
It just so happened that Zhang Yanling thought the same way.
Pfft.
Blood, splashing.
Zhang Heling's pupils shrank and his whole body trembled. He subconsciously looked at his left arm and saw an inch-long gash. Blood was pouring out. Severe pain hit him instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to howl out.
The younger brother Zhang Yanling immediately covered the mouth of the elder brother Zhang Heling and whined non-stop.
"You can't howl, otherwise your secret will be revealed."
"Brother, you also know that His Majesty treats you much better than he treats me. When His Majesty sees you injured, he will definitely be furious and you will have to suffer."
Zhang Yanling looked heartbroken.
Zhang Heling glared at Zhang Yanling, thinking that you are my brother, otherwise I would stab you high and low now!
"Let's go."
Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Zhang Heling covered his 'injured' arm and walked towards Chenglong Pavilion.
Zhang Yanling quickly put away the golden dagger and followed quickly. Looking at his elder brother's back and the cut on his hand, he was still wondering if the cut was too short and too shallow, and what if the bitter plan was not in place? p>
Do you want another stab from behind?
At the same time, Chenglong Pavilion.
"Do you know you are wrong?"
Lao Zhu Di is standing in the C position. After all, compared to Jianwen Zhu Laosi and Hongwu Xiao Zhusi, he, the upright Yongle Emperor, has more senior qualifications. As long as Lao Zhu does not show up, he is the absolute best among the emperors and princes.
Nu1.
I, Emperor Yongle, said so even if you are a top student.
"Speak!"
Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianchen saw that Zhu Youtang didn't answer, so he gave a sharp shout.
Zhu Youtang, who was pinned to the ground, looked down at the ground, seeming to be thinking about something.
Just now, he has already heard about his 'achievements' of this day, some of which he himself has long forgotten.
One by one, one by one, indistinguishable.
Of course, Zhu Youtang can actually find reasons to defend himself.
For example, when the Hetao was lost, it could be said that it was because of a lack of military spending or to recuperate. After all, Zhu Zhanji did the same thing back then.

However, the treasury left by the Chenghua Dynasty was completely different from the treasury left by the Yongle Dynasty. This explanation is simply untenable.
"Let me get up."
One word.
Xiao Zhu Si and several other young guys who were holding Zhu Youtang down raised their heads and glanced at Old Zhu Di.
Old Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then he let go of his hands. Zhu Youtang, who had a slap mark on his face, slowly stood up from the ground.
I took a deep breath and was about to speak.
"You gang of rebels dare to assassinate the king!"
"Come here! Drunk driving!"
The Zhang brothers sounded one after another.
All the emperors and princes heard the news and went out, only to see two young men who looked somewhat similar. One was covering his bleeding arm, and the other was holding a gold dagger in his hand.
The two of them thought that after shouting a few times, a large number of guards would rush in, but it turned out that it was useless even if their throats were broken.
By the lake, Ji Boying glanced at these two living treasures.
Arriving early is worse than arriving late.
"It's a bit interesting."
Ji Boying immediately turned around and walked to Chenglong Pavilion, with Lao Zhu following closely behind.
When Old Zhu Di saw Ji Boying coming, he quickly stepped aside and gave up seat C.
Zhu Youtang's pupils even shrank.
‘Taizu and Taizong both wanted to give way to this person. Could this person be the legendary immortal? Otherwise, how could he come with so many ancestors?’
"Drag over here."
Ji Boying glanced at the Zhang brothers.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhusi, Yongle Zhu Zhanji, Hongxi Zhu Zhanji, Zhengtong Zhu Qiyu, Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, these young Zhu family members, and even the young Zhu Houcong followed after a moment of silence.
"You, what are you going to do?!"
Looking at the dragon-robed rebels coming up, the Zhang brothers stood back to back with cautious and doubtful expressions on their faces.
This is also the first time they have met, and they actually rebelled against the collective Quanlongpao. Is it possible that they can become emperors together?
Zhang Yanling had a golden dagger in his hand, which naturally enhanced his combat power. Under Zhang Yanling's bastard dance, several people were unable to take it down for a while. After all, the opponent had a knife.
This scene made Lao Zhu frown.
"Please give way."
At this moment, a calm voice sounded.
Everyone looked around and saw Tianshun Zhu Qizhen dressed in black, with a calm face and indifferent eyes, walking straight towards Zhang Yanling.
"I have a knife!"
"You, come here again, I'll kill you if you come here again!"
Tianshun Zhu Qizhen seemed not to hear at all, but still approached.
"Since you are looking for death, then go die!"
A ruthless look flashed in Zhang Yanling's eyes, and he drew out the knife fiercely. The blackened Zhu Qizhen turned slightly, letting the dagger pierce his left arm. He pinched Zhang Yanling's neck with his right hand, and his cold eyes fell on Zhang Yanling's eyes.
, Zhang Yanling’s heart pounded in shock.
There was no trace of emotion in that look.
Just kidding, I don’t want to ask about my glorious achievements.
At that time, I was bleeding all over the wound and had fractures all over my body. I was able to chop off the heads of Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, and Cao Jixiang with my own knife, and then I carried a machete and chopped from Fengtianmen to Neiwulong Bridge.
It’s just a small three-inch dagger. It’s just a feather. If I blink, I’ll lose.
"Press and hold."
Others swarmed up, pressed the Zhang brothers directly to the spot, and then dragged them to the Chenglong Pavilion like dead dogs.
Tianshun Zhu Qizhen slowly pulled out the golden dagger from his arm, but frowned slightly.
When this scene fell into the eyes of everyone, Tianshun and Zhu Qizhen had a great change.
At the very least...
I won’t dare to beat him casually anymore.
This kid is a bit perverted, he is a real Wolf Slayer!
If you fight back one day, you will be killed within minutes.
"Your Majesty...!"
The Zhang brothers who were dragged to Chenglong Pavilion looked up at Zhu Youtang, whose face was a little swollen.
"Give you a chance."
"Let you be a descendant of the Zhu family recognized by your ancestors."
Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang's heart skipped a beat. He had just heard about his record, so he naturally understood what he meant.
Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi and others, especially Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, took a deep look at Zhu Youtang, and they all stopped talking and waited for Zhu Youtang's action.
Take a deep breath.
There was a rare ruthlessness in Zhu Youtang's eyes.
"Come here!"
With this loud shout, several Jin Yiwei who were deliberately let in by Zhengde Zhu Houzhao ran over quickly after hearing this. These Jin Yiwei were stunned as soon as they came over.
Why are there so many people wearing dragon robes?
But Xiami didn't dare to listen to what happened. He kept his head down and waited for orders.
"All titles and official positions of Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were removed, their family property was confiscated, and they were sent to the army!"
After saying this, Zhu Youtang looked away and couldn't bear to look directly.
"Do not serve as an army."
Xuebabiao stood up and said repeatedly.
"The Immortal Master said in a lesson that exile will affect the status of soldiers, and the exile should be changed to a three-thousand-mile distribution."
Always remember the knowledge points in class, which made Lao Zhu Di and others review the required test questions again.
"Not enough."
Ji Boying glanced at the Zhang brothers on the ground and spoke calmly.
Since the Zhang brothers received Zhu Youtang's protection, they have committed all kinds of evil, including killing, arson, and robbery. How can they get away with it so easily?
"What's there to say about these two things? Just take them out and chop them up."
Immortal Jiajing glanced at the Zhang brothers. The final outcome of Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling in history was that they were killed by Immortal Jiajing. One died in a daze in prison, and the other was pulled out and had his head chopped off.
When Zhu Youtang heard this, he paused.
Then he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, with murderous intent rising in his eyes.
"According to my decree, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling will be dragged out of the Meridian Gate immediately, cut in half and executed. The prince will be summoned to the East Palace to oversee the execution, and hundreds of officials will be summoned to observe the execution!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, who were pinned to the ground, were stunned again and again, and they were so frightened that their yellow and white bodies rolled out.
Neither of them would have thought that they would go to the palace to sue and make a fortune, but they didn't expect that they would both lose their lives.
And it’s still cut in half!
Queen Zhang, who had just arrived with Zhu Houzhao, happened to hear this paragraph and her head was buzzing.
His eyes went dark and he fainted.
"Your Majesty, I want to be exiled to the army, I want to be exiled to the army! I want to be exiled to the army!!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Completely ignoring his bleeding arm, Zhang Heling shouted loudly.
Zhang Yanling also made no concessions and shouted loudly.
"I am willing to die on the battlefield! Serve the country!"
The Jinyiwei didn't care so much. Since the emperor had given the order, they would just follow it and drag the Zhang brothers out like dead dogs.
He was sent straight to the Meridian Gate and immediately cut in half.
"Ancestors, how should you feel?"
Zhu Youtang took a deep breath.
"General."
Lao Zhu replied calmly.
According to Lao Zhu's temper, not only the Zhang brothers, but also the entire Zhang family, including Queen Zhang, and all the nine clans must be exterminated.
"Practice is over, it's time to go back and summarize."
Ji Boying said it all.
"Master Immortal, I want to settle down my mother and queen first, and ask Master Immortal to allow me to stay here for a while."
Zhu Houzhao, who was not far away, said urgently.
All the emperors and princes glanced at Zhu Houzhao, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
The Ming Dynasty governed the country with filial piety, and Zhu Houzhi followed this filial piety, which is good.
"Yes."
Ji Boying's words are settled.
Phew~
If the wind blows, Ji Boying will take Lao Zhu Yiqian, the emperor and the crown prince, including Zhu Youtang, and disappear into the Chenglong Pavilion.
Zhengde Zhu Houzhao supported Queen Zhang with joy in his eyes.
There are actually two reasons why he stayed.
One is to settle down his mother who ruled the time and space, and the other is to go to the Meridian Gate to watch the Zhang brothers being chopped in half.
He has been wanting to see these two uncles in trouble for many years.
………………………
Hongwu time and space.
Zuixian Tower, main hall.
Ji Boying stood in the center of the podium, while the emperor and princes all returned to their respective seats.
Lianxiangxiyu also walked up with a smile immediately and led Zhu Youtang, who was still in grief, to the "Renyi" seat.
"Before summarizing the content of this practical observation class, I want to announce something."
Ji Boying glanced at all the emperors and princes. Everyone sat upright and listened carefully.
"From now on, your great ancestor, Zhu Yuanzhang, will serve as the class monitor of our Ming Dynasty training class. He will also serve as the sub-class leader of the first emperor training class. The first training class covers five classes from A to E.
Column."
Lao Zhu sat on the Taishi chair, resting his hand on the mace beside the chair, and looked at the group of children and grandchildren with a serious look.
Naturally, everyone was convinced orally and on their knees.
"The six columns from Ji to Zi belong to the second period of the emperor's training class. The class leader of the second period is temporarily held by Xin Yi, a classmate of Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen. Whether he will become a regular student in the future will depend on his subsequent class performance.
”
"Xin Yi, do you have any questions?"
Chenghua Zhu Jian was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up.
"Master Immortal, the position of squad leader for the second period should belong to my father..."
The word ‘emperor’ has not yet been spoken.
"Just do what my brother tells you to do, why are you so blabbering?!"
Lao Zhu glanced at Chenghua Zhu Jianshen. Emperor Chenghua's heart skipped a beat and he quickly sat down.
If Baozong were to be the sub-squad leader, wouldn't it cause public outrage?
"Very good."
"Class officially begins now."
Ji Boying paced slightly and looked straight ahead.
"Before continuing with the original theoretical lesson, I would like to introduce a piece of knowledge."
After the words fell, Lianxiang stepped forward quickly and presented the pen.
All the emperors and princes stared at it.
I saw Ji Boying taking the pen, half-folding his body, and writing a line of words on the rice paper panel.
"How to reform the imperial examination system"
All the emperors and princes frowned, especially the first-term students. After several classes, they had already developed the ability to think deeply.
The imperial examination is closely related to the civil service group.
………………………
Hongzhi time and space.
Forbidden City, Meridian Gate.
As the bell to summon all the officials was rung, the cabinet and the officials from the Six Departments and Jiuqing Yamen of Qianbu Corridor, this group of important ministers all gathered towards the Meridian Gate, talking and laughing.
For these civil servants of the Hongzhi Dynasty, it was not unusual at all for His Majesty the Emperor to attend an impromptu meeting.
The three cabinet ministers, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, came side by side chatting, their faces filled with relaxation and leisure.
The entire official atmosphere of the Hongzhi Dynasty was full of joy.
However, when they and the officials arrived at the Meridian Gate, they were all stunned.
The Zhang brothers, who had always been extremely rampant, were actually tied up and fixed on a makeshift torture platform, crying like ghosts and howling like wolves.
This posture is obviously a cut in half.
Why did the emperor suddenly cut the Zhang brothers in half?
The three pavilion elders frowned, and when they looked at each other, they saw the solemnity in their eyes.
They didn't receive any news about this matter beforehand!
Zhu Youxin who is in class: You may not believe it, but in fact I didn’t receive it either.
Although the civil servants could not stand Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, the emperor suddenly cut his two most protective brothers-in-law in half, which meant that the emperor's attitude towards his relatives had changed greatly.
This point is what civil servants are most concerned about. Since the emperor's attitude towards his relatives has suddenly changed, will his attitude towards civil servants change next?!
Thinking about it from this perspective, I feel like my lips are dying and my teeth are cold.
All the officials subconsciously looked up at the Meridian Gate. The righteous Zhu Houzhao with a thick beard on his face was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, drinking tea happily.
The same question popped up in every civil servant's mind.
‘Why does His Royal Highness have a beard?’
At this moment, a roll call sounded.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
All the officials were stunned. They subconsciously turned around and looked around. Their pupils shrank sharply and froze.
The person who caught the eyes of all the officials was Hongzhi Zhu Houzhao, who happily ran all the way from the East Palace to the Meridian Gate after hearing that he was going to execute his two uncles.
The officials all had one head and two big heads. They looked at Zhu Houzhao on the Meridian Gate, then looked back at His Highness the Crown Prince, who was still breathing heavily, and turned their heads back and forth seven or eight times.
A slap on the forehead.
Baiguan: He must have been violently awake and didn’t wake up!
Two princes?!
Real or fake Zhu Houzhao?!
