Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 214

The Chu Palace in Wuchang, Huguang is located at the southern foot of Gaoguan Mountain, facing south from the north, with Gaoguan Mountain at its back.

The water surface of the Gedi Lake in front of the Wangfu is rippling, and sometimes white water birds fly across the lake, pick up a fish and fly to the forest on the opposite bank.

In a unique courtyard in the southeast corner of the large-scale palace, several powerful and powerful men with naked upper body were whipping a young man tied to a tree.The man's body was already bloody and his head was tilted to one side, as if he was going to die at any moment.

Seeing this scene, several big men stopped one after another, and one of them stepped forward to test the breath of the victim.

"My lord, King Shouchang seems to be venting more gas and not getting enough gas! I'm afraid it will be..."

The big man reported in a panic to a man sitting on a chair not far away.

"It's cheap for this beast! Just tie him to a tree and come back tomorrow to see if he doesn't die, spare his life!"

The man sitting on the chair is over [-] years old, wearing a red tuanlong round-neck uniform, wearing soap leather boots, with delicate features, slightly thin lips, a sinister expression, and slender eyes that give people the feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake. on the feeling.

He was Zhu Yunhui, the son of King Chu, and the one who was beaten to death was his younger brother Zhu Yunhao, King of Shouchang.

"My son, do you want to call the medical officer to treat King Shouchang? If you really want to beat him to death, the prince will blame you, and your son will die too!"

The big man said cautiously.

Although it is said that they acted on the order of the prince, if the prince knows that they beat King Shouchang to death, all of them, young and old, will have to be buried with him.

"Li San, you son of a bitch! Let's talk about that old bastard who stripped you alive! Go and see what's going on with that bitch!"

After Li San hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on, he ran towards the moon gate on the side of the yard.

He knew that Zhu Yunhui's character was cruel and suspicious, and he would beat, scold and punish his subordinates if he was not happy. There were not a few servants and maids in the palace who were beaten to death and maimed for no reason.

Although Zhu Yunhui and Zhu Yunhao are brothers of the same mother and compatriot, the two have long been in the same boat.The reason is very simple: as early as a few years ago, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, had the idea of ​​Yi Chu, and there had been a lot of uproar in the palace; in the past two years, this trend has become more obvious. His dislike for Zhu Yunhao is beyond words, but his love for Zhu Yunhao is even more.

The King of Chu had three sons and one daughter in total. Zhu Yunhui and Zhu Yunhao were both born to the main concubine He, and another son Zhu Yunlong was born to the side concubine Ma. His daughter Zhu Fengde was born to a palace maid, and she is not yet five years old.

As the eldest son, Zhu Yunhui was smart and intelligent since he was a child, and he was deeply loved by Zhu Huakui. When he was five years old, he submitted a petition to the emperor, and Wanli later canonized him as the prince of Chu.

Chu Wang and his wife have been extremely pampered to Zhu Yunhui since he was a child, which made him develop a domineering and arrogant character. When he grew up, he became both lewd and vicious.Many court ladies in Chu Palace were raped by him. After Zhu Huakui found out, he severely punished him many times, but he still remained thieves.

The lustful Zhu Yunhui once recruited dozens of prostitutes in Wuchang City, and he joined a gang of local rogues. Both men and women met naked, drinking and having fun, and prostitution during the day.After this matter was reported by someone with a heart, it caused an uproar from the outside world, and the already bad reputation of Chu Palace became even more unbearable.

Zhu Yunhui also often gathers street thugs in the city of Wuchang. Hundreds of them swagger through the market. When they meet a beautiful woman, they will snatch them back to the mansion. When they are tired of playing, they will either sink in the lake or throw them outside the mansion.The family of the victim reported to the government, but the previous prefects of Wuchang were afraid of Zhu Yunhui's vicious methods and did not dare to come forward to negotiate with him, which further contributed to Zhu Yunhui's lust.

Due to his disappointment with Zhu Yunhui, Zhu Huakui let the other two sons live in the palace, and wanted to observe secretly, which one was suitable to replace Zhu Yunhui as the eldest son.Unexpectedly, this unintentional move brought catastrophe to Chu Palace.

After Zhu Yunhui accidentally met two beautiful sisters-in-law, his lust became serious, and he went to the door several times to moles Zhu Yunhao and Hanyang King Zhu Yunlong's concubine with words and deeds, but was reported to Zhu Huakui by his two younger brothers.

Under Zhu Huakui's rage, he became even more determined to abolish Zhu Yunhui. Zhu Yunhui's mother and concubine He Shi even didn't even see his face. Instead, he loved the weak Zhu Yunhao even more, which made Zhu Yunhui He hated his mother and brother deeply.

This time, in the name of apologizing, he sent someone to lure his mother and younger brother to this remote courtyard. After driving away all the servant girls and entourages of the two, he forcibly locked Mrs. He into a room in the side courtyard, and then locked Zhu Yun Hao tied him to a tree and began beating him severely.

He is not afraid of his father knowing.Zhu Huakui, who is over [-] years old, has been obsessed with worshiping Buddha and practicing the way of longevity in recent years. He built the Thousand Buddha Hall in the backyard of the palace. Acting more recklessly.

After a while Li San ran back and said: "Your Majesty, the princess is not moving in the house!"

"This bitch! Aren't you protecting the second child? This time, I will let you two die together! Go! Go to the second child's yard, the lonely sister-in-law is still waiting for Gu to comfort her!"

When Zhu Yunhui thought of the handsome face of his sister-in-law Mao, his heart became hot. Now that the person who is in the way is either imprisoned or dying, isn't Mao a weak woman obediently allowing him to show his power?
Zhu Yunhui led Li San and the others along the long corridor to Zhu Yunhao's courtyard. The palace maids who met along the way hurriedly dodged when they saw him from a distance, and went straight to the fourth imperial court. When I was in the wind pavilion, I happened to meet Shi Chen Nanping, the head of the palace.

Chen Nanping's background was similar to that of Sun Sansheng, the Chief History of the Zhou Palace. He had been sent to the Chu Palace for seven years. He also knew Zhu Yunhui's evil deeds very well, and he hated them deeply. It was under his repeated persuasion that he Only then did Zhu Huakui have the idea of ​​abolishing Zhu Yunhui.

"Where is the prince going?"

Chen Nanping stopped, blocking the way of Zhu Yunhui and his party.

"It's your turn to take care of what you want to do? Get out of the way!"

Of course Zhu Yunhui knew about Chen Nanping persuading his father Yu to depose him, but Chen Nanping had always been by his father's side, even if he wanted to take revenge, it was difficult for him to find a chance.Now seeing Chen Nanping with only two followers, the anger that had just been extinguished in his heart was rekindled.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself! The lower official was sent by the imperial court, and His Highness has shown great respect to the lower official. Hasn't the eldest son not inherited the throne yet?"

Chen Nanping said coldly.

For a scum like Zhu Yunhui, Chen Nanping wished he could be struck by the Taoist palm lightning to kill him.

"What are you! This world belongs to my Zhu family! You are just a dog of my family! Get the hell out of here! Or the orphan will kill you!"

Although Zhu Yunhui was extremely resentful towards Chen Nanping, but thinking of Mao's beautiful face, he wished he could fly over in a hurry.

"The lower official heard that the prince will send someone to invite the concubine and King Shouchang to Taoxi Xiaozhu. Dare to ask the prince, where are the concubine and King Shouchang now?"

Seeing that something was wrong, He's personal maid did not dare to report to the prince, so she found Chen Nanping in a hurry and told the story, Chen Nanping hurried over from the front hall.

He knew Zhu Yunhui's viciousness.The prince doesn't ask about the affairs of the mansion, no one in the whole palace can restrain him, now Zhu Yunhui suddenly invites the concubine and younger brother to go, obviously wanting to harm her two.

"Tie up this dog to Gu!"

Seeing Chen Nanping asking about this matter, Zhu Yunhui knew that if he was not dealt with together, the whole matter would be exposed after Chen Nanping went to Taoxi Xiaozhu.They simply kept doing nothing, locked Chen Nanping there together, and starved them to death together for several days.

Li San and the others were all quacks recruited by Zhu Yunhui, and their skills were really good.After hearing Zhu Yunhui's order, Li San and the others rushed forward, knocked Chen Nanping and the others to the ground in two or three strokes, tore off their belts, tied them up, and tore off their robes gag their mouths with cloth.

"Shut them up in that courtyard, Li San will follow me, and you will take turns guarding there, don't worry about Gu!"

Zhu Yunhui triumphantly led Li San to his younger brother's courtyard, and the rest of them picked up Chen Nanping who was struggling and turned around to go to the backyard.
