Prince of Chaos

Chapter 572 The King of Chu's Golden Beans
It has been more than a month before and after.

The Changping case beheaded nearly a thousand people, and also dealt with hundreds of low-level officials and former guard officers and soldiers in Changping Town, and exiled tens of thousands of people. Zhu Changluo finally settled the Changping Town case.

When the imperial court officials saw the end of this huge Zhulian case, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time they were extremely grateful.

Fortunately, the crown prince did not reopen the case, otherwise, with Liu Ke's broken mouth, he would have killed many people.Therefore, when the Ministry of Criminal Justice heard the follow-up cases of this case, all the officials in Beijing were actually a little panicked.

Fortunately, it's all over now.

It also rained.

The bright summer sun finally shines on the bustling city of Beijing again, everything is so beautiful and so happy.

However, on this beautiful day, there will always be those who are trembling and overwhelmed.

The representative of this is Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, who has been in Beijing for more than half a month.

In the past half month, Zhu Huakui has not been received by the emperor and crown prince. It can be said that he is worried and trembling.

During this period of time, his originally round body gradually lost weight, and he also had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, which shows how much psychological pressure he has been under during this period of time.

After Zhu Changluo dealt with the affairs of Changping Town, he also felt that Zhu Huakui was almost released, so he sent someone to summon Zhu Huakui to Ciqing Palace for an audience.

After Zhu Huakui, who lived in the Tenth Prince's Mansion, was summoned by Zhu Changluo, his body trembled with excitement, and he cried desperately to the little eunuch Xuanzhi, "God, sorry, this king was slandered. This king is the authentic blood of the previous king." , and His Royal Highness are of the same blood of the Taizu, and now being slandered by Xiao Xiao's disciples, this king feels bitter."

The little eunuch delivering the decree was startled by Zhu Huakui's howling voice, and he didn't know how to comfort the king of Chu who didn't know the truth.

So he reminded in a low voice: "His Highness is still waiting for you."

After hearing the reminder from the little eunuch, Zhu Huakui quickly wiped away his tears and got up, then said to the little eunuch who passed the decree in a polite and modest manner: "Thank you, father-in-law."

While speaking, Zhu Huakui stuffed a handful of golden beans into the little eunuch's hand.

After the little eunuch received Zhu Huakui's golden beans, his eyes narrowed with a smile.

The little eunuch said: "My lord, don't worry, Your Highness is in a good mood today."

After hearing the information revealed to him by the little eunuch, Zhu Huakui felt relieved, and then said: "Eunuch, wait a moment, this king will go to change clothes and have an audience."

After waiting for a while, the neatly dressed Zhu Huakui finally looked radiant.

It's just that, because of his weight loss during this period, the royal clothes on him look a little too loose and funny.

However, these are not the point, the point is that he is about to enter the palace now.

After leaving the Ten Princes' Mansion, Zhu Huakui got into a four-wheeled carriage curiously. He had long heard that there was a four-wheeled carriage with a spacious space and a luxurious interior in the capital.

However, he is far away in Wuchang, and he has never been destined to meet.

In the past half a month since he arrived in the capital, he has been in a state of panic all day long. He has been waiting to be summoned in the ten princes' mansion, and he has never dared to go out. Therefore, until today, it is the first time that Zhu Huakui has truly seen that the fashion in the capital is still the same. four-wheeled carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Huakui looked curiously at the furnishings inside the carriage. Although there was only a simple small table fixed inside the carriage, Zhu Huakui could clearly feel the extraordinaryness of this carriage.

The speed of this four-wheeled carriage is fast and stable, and the windows are made of luxurious transparent glass.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still guilty of the crime at this moment, maybe he would have already bought a luxurious four-wheeled carriage to travel around Beijing.

The Ten Kings Mansion is very close to the Forbidden City, and within a cup of tea, the carriage drove from the Ten Kings Mansion to the Meridian Gate in front of the Forbidden City.

After arriving here, Zhu Huakui got out of the car carefully, followed the little eunuch through the side gate of the Meridian Gate, and then went straight to the Ciqing Palace.

The walking time was longer than Zhu Huakui's four-wheeled carriage from Ten Princes' Mansion to Meridian Gate.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhu Huakui came to the gate of Ciqing Palace.

After arriving here, the little eunuch said to Zhu Huakui: "My lord, wait here for a while, and this servant will go and inform the lord."

Zhu Huakui said politely to the little eunuch, "I'm in trouble, father-in-law."

The little eunuch lowered his head and walked quickly towards the Ciqing Palace, within a short time, he came out from the palace again.

"My lord please, Your Highness announces you into the palace."

Zhu Huakui took a deep breath, adjusted his clothes behind him, and then followed the little eunuch towards the main hall of Ciqing Palace.

After entering the main hall, without raising his head, Zhu Huakui directly entered the door and bowed, "The king of Chu, Zhu Huakui, is paying his respects to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness."

Zhu Changluo looked at Zhu Huakui, who was kneeling on the ground, and after being silent for about ten seconds, Zhu Changluo said lightly, "Be flat."

Zhu Huakui got up carefully, still lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Zhu Changluo's sky, and looked extremely respectful.

Zhu Changluo said: "You don't have to be restrained, you can take a few steps forward."

Zhu Huakui said nervously, "I dare not."

Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "It's okay."

At this time, Zhu Huakui took a few steps forward cautiously, but he still didn't raise his head, his attitude was still extremely respectful, as docile as a kitten, not at all like an absurd vassal king who could be lawless in a fiefdom.

Zhu Changluo looked at Zhu Huakui, who was so cautious, and said, "King Chu, Zhu Huaxuan, a member of the Chu clan, said that you are not the first to respect the blood of the king. Do you have any objections?"

Zhu Huakui immediately knelt down and cried loudly: "Your Highness, I have been wronged. There is no doubt that I am of the blood of the former king. It is only because I reprimanded Zhu Huaxuan in Wuchang that he held a grudge, so he joined other people with ulterior motives to slander me. I have been conscientiously guarding Wuchang for nearly 20 years, and I have always been loyal to His Highness and the court. I have never done anything to humiliate the clan or tarnish the reputation of the royal family."

Hearing Zhu Huakui's cry, Zhu Changluo wanted to laugh.

What kind of urine is the clan, how can he not know?

Take the poor Zhu Huakui in front of him as an example, he didn't do many good things in Wuchang Chu Fan.

In the original history, after experiencing the case of the false king of Chu, he landed safely.

He reigned as King of Chu for 63 years, and he has always been extravagant and extravagant, amassing money crazily.Later, he actually ordered his subordinates to beat Zhao Kehuai, the governor of Huguang at the time, to death.

It can be seen from this that this person has no reverence for the imperial court, and relied on his status as a clan and vassal king to commit crimes in Wuchang, so that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhang Xianzhong attacked Wuchang City, the Huguang local officials gathered at the Chu Palace and knelt down. Ask Zhu Huakui to donate his salary.

As a result, Zhu Huakui, the sixth son who wanted money but not life, actually pointed to the gold-covered chair bestowed by the Hongwu Dynasty, and said: "This can serve as an army, but he has nothing!"

This wave of operations directly disappointed the Chu officials.

Later, after Wuchang was captured by Zhang Xianzhong, his palace was looted, "taking all the gold and silver in the palace, each with millions of gold and silver, and hundreds of chariots carrying hundreds of cars."

Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile: "Zhu Huzi is really mediocre to have such a fortune without guarding it!"

Then Zhu Huakui was thrown directly into the Yangtze River and drowned.

It can be seen what a wonderful vassal he is, and he has reached a critical moment of national ruin and family destruction, and he still wants to be a miser.

Could it be that he wanted to rely on the money to buy his life in the hands of the bandit leader Zhang Xianzhong?

It’s ridiculous!
