Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 211 Idleness is also idleness, just play and smoke

Before the sun came up, not to mention it was the middle of the night, it was also before dawn, Zhu Xi sat on the horse and arrived at the gate of the palace.

"In ancient times, these officials were really beyond the capabilities of ordinary people," Zhu Zhen couldn't help complaining.

Just like yesterday, the palace gates were already crowded with sedans and carriages from various houses.

Officials who are usually very impressive are now hiding in their respective vehicles and seizing the time to catch up on their sleep.

Zhu Chu can't do it. He hasn't bought a carriage yet. It seems that he will have to put it on the agenda today.

He doesn't like sedans, mainly because they dislike the small space inside and not as spacious, comfortable and stable as carriages.

Just carriages, horses, sedans, etc., seem to have various grade regulations?
Zhu Zhen didn't understand this. Anyway, he had the title of prince, so as long as he didn't carve dragon patterns, it would be fine.

With the title of vassal king, the only standard that is overstepped is the emperor's system, that is, don't put on a dragon robe, wearing a python robe is still okay.

That’s all.

At this time, there was still some time before Mao Shi, and Zhu Zhen could only sit on the horse and yawn.

In fact, he wasn't sleepy at all. The problem was that he was supposed to be sleeping at home at this time, but he was reluctantly called to attend the morning meeting. Why did he bother to come?

Zhu Ming mainly had resentment in his heart.

Suddenly, the curtain of a carriage opened, and someone glanced this way.

Then, someone came over and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Dian, my master has invited you."

master?

"No," Zhu Zheng was full of resentment. He had no good temper, and scolded: "I am sitting here, and he doesn't come to greet me personally, and he still allows me to go? Who has such a big air?"

The man was a groom. He scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look, "My master is Duke Wei."

Wei Guogong?Xu Da?

Zhu Ming suddenly woke up, got off his horse quickly, and said, "You have to go, you should have told me earlier."

That was Xu Da, the first hero of the founding of the country. Zhu Ming had to respect him based on his great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family during his military life.

So Zhu Zhen came to the carriage obediently.

"Uncle Xu, are you looking for me?" Zhu Zhen asked outside the carriage.

Xu Da opened the door curtain himself and let Zhu Chu come up.

"His Royal Highness the King of Dian is so arrogant. It is indeed the old minister who should have gone to greet you," Xu Da waited for him to come up before speaking.

But there's no way this is a sign of greeting, it's just asking for help, isn't it?

Zhu Zhengqian smiled and said: "Didn't I know it was you, otherwise I would have come here long ago. By the way, my sister Xu is also quite good?"

Among the entire Xu family, Xu Miaojin was the only one Zhu Miao knew and liked well.

As for Xu Huizu?Just thinking about him made Zhu Ming feel like he had toothache and choked, so he might as well forget it.

After thinking about it, the only person with whom I could exchange greetings was Xu Miaojin, the younger sister.

As a result, Xu Da glanced at Zhu Zhen with complicated eyes, which Zhu Zhen couldn't even understand.

Xu Da sighed and said: "His Royal Highness's military and military skills are all top-notch, but my daughter really cannot reach such a high level. Moreover, yesterday His Majesty personally conveyed the message that the marriage between you and my daughter Miaojin has not been officially confirmed, and this time it can be regarded as completely broken." . From now on, I just hope that His Highness will not get close to my daughter again, and it is best not to visit her again. Our Xu family cannot afford it."

Zhu Zhen was stunned, and finally understood that there was some hostility, as well as some strangeness and distance hidden in Xu Da's eyes.

At the same time, Zhu Ming realized that Lao Zhu had sent such an oral instruction to the Xu Mansion yesterday.

Speaking of which, Zhu Chu already has Mu Qiu. Even if we don't take into account modern people's ideas of monogamy, he and Mu Qiu are now in a strong relationship, and they have not yet reached the point of seven-year itch.

So this is actually in line with Zhu Chu's wishes.

He really only has brother-sister feelings for Xu Miaojin, and has no other personal feelings for children.

Originally, he didn't want to delay Xu Miaojin.

But I don't know why, when I suddenly heard such words, I just felt empty in my heart, which was not a good feeling.

"Is it possible that I am really a big pig's trotter?" Zhu Zhen secretly felt funny.

At the same time, he said: "Uncle Xu, my sister Xu is beautiful and fragrant. She is a peerless beauty. I am not worthy of sister Xu. He deserves better."

Xu Da smiled: "Better? It's simple. Among His Majesty's children who have joined the feudal clan, those who should start a family and start a business are even older. And those who have not yet joined the feudal clan are all brats."

Xu Da really wanted to ask Zhu Zhen if you were serious about it.

Not to mention those princes, even if we include all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, which one among the young talents can compare with your status and achievements?
But Xu Da also knew that Zhu Zhen didn't have that kind of affection for Xu Miaojin. In this case, he didn't bother to say anything more. He just waved his hand and said: "Forget it, since there is no fate between you, it's best to break it off. . Your Highness, for the sake of your lifelong service to your Zhu family, please don’t bother me again. Because I’m afraid.”

What Xu Da didn't say was that he was afraid that Xu Miaojin would be trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.

It's true that Xu Da is a big boss, but Xu Miaojin is his daughter after all. How has his daughter ever cried for a man?
"Okay, that's it. You are the vassal king, I am the Duke of the country, and I am also the minister of the court. It will not be good for us to meet in private, lest others impeach us. Therefore, I will not leave His Highness to rest. Please ask yourself That's right." After Xu Da said a few words, he cupped his fists with both hands and pushed Zhu Ming away.

Zhu Zhen got off Xu Da's carriage and was very angry.

He called me over for no reason, said a bunch of weird things, and then asked me to come down again. What was going on?

Isn't it just a broken carriage?Today we are also asking someone to buy one.

Zhu Ming, who was choked with anger, was about to go back and get on his horse and wait for the click.

But suddenly, a petty official ran over and shouted: "Bold and arrogant. Not only are you riding horses in the capital, but you are also in front of the palace? It is simply lawless."

Zhu Chu turned around and said expressionlessly: "Excuse me, what is the meaning of the word "Zongma"? What the hell is this a Zongma? I am riding, just sitting, this is not okay? One or two, You've been looking for trouble with me all day long. Damn it, if you don't slap me, you'll just slap your nose and face, giving me shameless things."

He was really angry. He had already faced off with Zhu Yuanzhang yesterday, and he had just gotten angry again. He was full of evil fire and had nowhere to vent it. This little official was hit by a gun.

In fact, petty officials also bear the responsibility.

But Zhu Ming knew better that the other party was from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and yesterday the Zuodu Censor also impeached him.

What's more, it can't be done just by sitting on a horse?Also known as the vertical horse.

Do I have to kneel on the ground myself?

Zhu Ming was really not polite at all. He took out the jade belt from his waist and ran towards the little official.

The clerks were stunned. Before they could react, they felt a dark shadow flash before their eyes, and then one cheek became hot.

"You dare to hit someone?" the clerk pointed at Zhu Ming and shouted angrily.

Zhu Ming sneered and shouted without looking back: "Wang Fu, Li Gui."

"exist."

The two immediately got off their horses and stood behind Zhu Zhen.

"Find out the sedan chair of Zuodu Yushi and push that old boy over here. If I don't beat him to death today, I will consider him rough-skinned and thick-bodied," Zhu Zhen shouted angrily.

"Here."

The two immediately turned and left.

There was such a big commotion here, and all the civil and military officials in the court were alarmed. They all poked their heads out of the sedan or carriage: "What's going on? What's going on? Huh? Why is it him again?"

"Why did the King of Dian rape someone again?"

Soon everyone saw that Zhu Ming kicked the little official down, then went up and whipped him.

Although his jade belt is not entirely made of jade, it is still inlaid with gold and jade. If it hits a person's body, it will be very painful.

In just a moment, the servant's screams rang out and became one, and no one could sleep.

Xu Da sat in the car and shook his head.He really has a hot temper, even worse than his father when he was young.

After a while, the Zuodu Censor was also dragged over.

Zuodu Yushi was originally wondering what happened, but as soon as he stuck his head out of the sedan chair, he was dragged out.

Although Li Gui is a member of the Jinyi Guard, he is now Zhu Chu's guard after all, and he is also from the third rank. The Zuodu Censor is only the second rank at most, which is not much different.

What's more, it was Zhu Chu's order, so they just had to follow it.

"King of Dian? It's you again? Do you really dare to hit me?" Yushi Zuodu was still arrogant.

"Hit you? I'm going to chop you off this time," Zhu Zhen opened his hand and went to Wang Fu to ask for the knife.

If it were Li Gui, he would definitely hesitate or even retreat and refuse.

But Wang Fu pulled out the saber and handed it to Zhu Zhen.

Although you are not allowed to carry a sword when going to court, this is outside the palace gate after all, so you only need to take off the sword before entering the palace gate.

So Wang Fu came with a knife.

Zhu Ming held the knife in his hand and ran towards Zuodu Yushi, cursing: "You guys just don't want me to have an easy time, do you? Do you think I am afraid? I will kill you, I will be the best at it." He was demoted to a commoner and exiled thousands of miles away. It would be best to exile me to Yunnan, as I will never want to enter Beijing again in my life."

It had only been less than three days since I returned to Beijing, and a lot of troubles had come up.

Zhu Zhen was really murderous at this time. If he could be exiled by killing this Zuodu censor, he would definitely do it.

At worst, the vassal king doesn't want it anymore, and you can take back what others gave you.

Then I will do it myself and conquer the world by myself.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang, do you really think I can't live without you?
I am willing to play with you, because as a son, I am coaxing you and letting you tolerate you, and I can still abide by your rules.

But what if I don't want to play with you anymore?
rule?I am the rule.

At this time, Zhu Zhen wished he could spend most of his resources, took out a helicopter on the spot, and bombed all these unsightly guys.

Then he flew to Yunnan, raised troops to rebel, and fought for hegemony in the world.

"Wait, stop," a loud shout came, and a bright yellow sedan arrived quickly. However, although the color was bright yellow, it was still embroidered with python patterns instead of dragon patterns.

As soon as they saw the sedan, many people took the initiative to come out. When the sedan came closer, the civil servants respectfully said: "See Your Highness the Grand Sun."

Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the emperor, is now the only one who, as the grandson of the emperor, is qualified to use the bright yellow color.

Even Zhu Zhen can only wear a red python-patterned robe, and it's because he has already joined the vassal vassal, otherwise he would not be able to reach this level.

Zhu Yunwen got out of the sedan, first greeted the officials around him slowly, and then faced Zhu Ming, walked over step by step, and asked: "Uncle Eighteen, what are you going to do? You threatened the court with a knife. Ordinary officials? Moreover, the Zuodu Yushi and the Duchayuan have the duty of supervising hundreds of officials, so why are they wrong?"

"Why, do you want to teach me a lesson too? You are not qualified yet, you are not the emperor yet, eldest nephew," Zhu Ming sneered and looked at Zhu Yunwen.

The two men soon stood face to face, filled with the smell of gunpowder for a moment, and neither one was willing to give in.

After all, Zhu Min had experienced the baptism of the battlefield. Zhu Yunwen could not hold back his anger at first and shouted: "I must go to Grandpa Huang to file a complaint against you."

"Go ahead, when did I stop you? Or did you not do that yesterday morning? Don't you just want to cut off the vassal? My king's throne is here, you can cut it off at will, but if I frown, it will I lose," Zhu Ming sneered.

Now, he feels that his throne is a burden and shackles.

Look at this Zhu Yunwen again, do you want to work for him yourself?Is he worthy?
As soon as the word "cut the vassal" came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

All the civil and military officials were silent, looking at Zhu Zhen in shock.

Even Zhu Yunwen was a little panicked, pointing at Zhu Ming: "You, you, you."

But he was speechless.

Zhu Yunwen was shocked. How could Zhu Zhen know that he wanted to cut down the feudal clan?Even Grandpa Huang didn't know his true thoughts and specific plans to reduce the vassal state.

What's more, there are still many meritorious contributions to the founding of the country, and they are all noble honors. Do you want to reduce the vassal status?So what if the package doesn’t include them?

Suddenly, people began to think wildly.

Fortunately, at this time, the thick palace door was opened, and a eunuch came out and shouted: "The time of Mao has arrived, and all the officials have ordered Mao."

The eunuch came straight to Zhu Zhen and whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said, if you continue to act like a fool, Your Majesty will whip you."

Did even Zhu Yuanzhang hear about the commotion outside the door?Did someone specifically report it?Or did Zhu Yuanzhang always make people pay attention to the state of the officials waiting outside the door?Is that why you know it?
But no matter what, Zhu Xi could only put away the sword. But after he asked Wang Fu to put away the sword, he turned around and led the horse away, but in the opposite direction of the palace gate.

All the civil and military officials looked on stupidly. Seeing that they were about to go to court in the morning, they actually walked away from each other?Does this mean you don’t take the emperor seriously at all?
The eunuch stamped his foot and hurriedly chased after him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, my Highness, your Majesty has specifically asked you to come to court. He also said that he will arrange an errand for you today. You cannot be absent," the eunuch shouted all the way. Quickly block Zhu Zhen's way.

If Zhu Chu leaves, the eunuch dare not say whether Zhu Chu will be punished. Anyway, he will inevitably get a slap in the face.

Zhu Ming didn't know what was going on, but there was an evil fire in his stomach at this moment. Moreover, there had been constant wars in the past few years. After being baptized by the battlefield, he couldn't stop his violent temper.

In fact, he was also wondering, it seemed like this happened after getting off the Xu Da car?
Could it be because of Xu Miaojin?
Zhu Zhen felt funny and couldn't help but laugh at himself, must all the beauties in the world belong to him?
What's more, this girl Xu has a lofty ambition and talent. It would be unfair for both of them to let her and Mu Qiu serve the same husband together.

Since you have had this realization a long time ago, why should you be so worried about it now?

Besides, he has been forbearing until now, not because he is afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, but because he does not want to start a war with the entire Ming Dynasty. It would be a civil war and internal strife. How many compatriots would die?

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen sighed, and suddenly said with some depression: "Let's go."

But after such a fuss, everyone looked at Zhu Zhen with complicated expressions.

If you have any worries, this King of Dian is simply a lunatic, and once he becomes crazy, he has no scruples at all.

If His Highness Taisun hadn't stopped him in time, he might have really killed Zuodu Yushi.

Some people feel disdainful, thinking that this is simply rotten wood that cannot be carved. Apart from being of prominent birth, how can he have any responsibilities as a king?

In short, they all thought of everything, but one thing became a tacit understanding among everyone, that is, they all stayed away from Zhu Xi's side silently.

Zhu Ming, however, only felt relaxed, and walked into the palace accompanied only by Wang Fu and Li Gui.

Unlike Zhu Zhen, Zhu Yunwen was surrounded by ministers like stars over the moon.

After waiting for a while, the officials arrived at the main hall of the court, and after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang appeared.

Under the instructions of the eunuch, the ministers kowtowed one after another, and then shouted long live three times, and then stood up at Zhu Yuanzhang's signal.

"We heard that there was another commotion outside the palace gate this morning? What's going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang was not eager to listen to the officials' remarks, but looked directly at Zhu Yu.

Before Zhu Ming could speak, Zhu Yunqi came out first and said: "Let's play to the emperor's grandpa, and my grandson is planning to participate in the performance of my eighteenth uncle. The junior officials of the Duchayuan and the censor of Zuodu have their responsibilities. Supervising hundreds of officials on behalf of the imperial court. But the eighteenth uncle did not care about the indiscretion. Not only did he beat the minor officials for two days in a row, but he also wanted to hack the imperial official to death with a knife outside the palace gate. It was true, it was true."

"The crime deserves to be punished, right? My nephew, are you so impatient to let me die?" Zhu Zhen, who was standing on the side of the general, glanced at Zhu Yunwen indifferently and said what he wanted to say, but Words you dare not say.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. He first looked at Zhu Yunwen, with a flash of disappointment and suspicion deep in his eyes. Then he looked at Zhu Zhen and scolded: "You bastard, Zuodu Yushi is a second-rank official whom we have personally sealed. You Are you going against the grain? What's going on?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's rebuke made some people overjoyed, but others showed puzzled expressions, especially Xu Da, who thought something was wrong. Since he had already reprimanded him, why did he still ask what was going on?
This is not the style of Emperor Hongwu.

Zhu Ming didn't panic at all. He stood there and said confidently: "Let me tell you, my father, I just returned to the capital the night before. I was busy reporting on my duties yesterday, and it was you who gave me the house to have a place to live. These two days In order not to delay going to the morning court, I have no choice but to come here on horseback. I have neither a carriage nor a sedan, so what can I do?"

"What's more, I just sat on the horse and didn't dare to ride the horse. As a result, they made a fuss and wanted to kill everyone in my family."

"It's like using chicken feathers as arrows, or something."

The generals lowered their heads one after another, and some of their shoulders were shaking, but they did not dare to laugh in front of the court and His Majesty.

Even the civil servants had many people snickering secretly.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises all officials, so it often offends people.

And Zhu Xi's scolding almost made everyone applaud.
