Chapter 224 Zhu Yuanzhang’s helplessness
The Imperial College is in chaos.

It turned out that when Zhu Zhen and Fang Xiaoru had a dispute, the noise was too loud and had already attracted the attention of the supervisors in other classrooms.

It was only because of the constraints of other lecturers and professors that it did not cause too much of a stir.

But when Zhu Chu suddenly pulled out his jade belt and whipped Fang Xiaoru to lie down, first of all, the supervisors in this classroom were in chaos.

"He's beating someone, Dian King Zhu Xun is beating someone."

"Professor Fang, he knocked down Professor Fang."

"Come on someone."

As the supervisors made such a fuss, the supervisors from the surrounding classrooms also crowded over.

Looking at Zhu Ming again, he was in the crowd, stepping on Fang Xiaoru with one foot, holding the jade belt in his hand, and pulling it towards Fang Xiaoru's body.

Poor Fang Xiaoru is just a Confucian scholar and has no strength to resist.

And Fang Xiaoru is not young anymore. He is 22 years older than Zhu Zhen, and he is almost forty now.

At the same time, he is still a very famous Confucian scholar in the Confucian school, but it is really painful and embarrassing to be publicly whipped by Zhu Zhen like this.

But he was unable to resist.

In the end, even Lao Jijiu was alarmed and hurried over, hurriedly trying to dissuade him: "Oh my Lord, what's going on? This is the Imperial College, why are you using force?"

Poor old Jijiu is already very old. He almost fell down while running all the way.

If he fell, it would be serious.

For the sake of Lao Jijiu, and because the corridor outside was already full of people, they were all watching the excitement.

Zhu Ming then put away the jade belt, but still held it in his hand, pointed at Fang Xiaoru and scolded: "Thank you for claiming to have read the books of saints and sages. I think you are full of benevolence, justice and morality, but your belly is full of male thieves and female prostitutes."

There was an uproar all around.

Fang Xiaoru was a disciple of Song Lian and could be described as a great Confucian.

You actually said that to him?

The old wine-gatherer stamped his feet anxiously.

Zhu Ming sneered and said, "What's the matter? Don't those literati leave enough poems on the flower boats?"

"That doesn't represent everyone, Your Highness, you can't talk nonsense. Come on, send Professor Fang to the doctor quickly," Old Jijiu stopped Zhu Chu from making nonsense and quickly had Fang Xiaoru taken away.

Otherwise, he is really afraid that Zhu Ming will beat people to death here.

"Your Highness, I see that you are still angry, and I'm afraid you won't be able to read anymore. Why don't you go back to your house today?" Old Jijiu didn't dare to keep such a devil incarnation anymore.

After all, this is the Imperial College, where the supervisors study. How could he be allowed to act so wantonly?

Zhu Ming snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

As soon as he left, Lao Jijiu immediately gave Zhu Yuanzhang a message.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he continued to curse.

"This bastard actually beat up Fang Xiaoru? I think he was looking for a slap in the face." Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he sent out his guards in uniform, and on the way, they 'kidnapped' Zhu Zhen before he could go home.

Zhu Ming was carried to the palace by the royal guards again.

This time, he was carried directly to the door of the palace before stopping, and there was no need for Zhu Zhen to walk in from the door.

"Oh, Your Highness, you are finally here. Your Majesty has lost his temper inside," the eunuch chief came up to greet him.

Zhu Ming said angrily: "You are expecting me to come, so that my father can beat me, right? Am I becoming a punching bag? If you don't go, I want to go home."

"Hey, Your Highness doesn't dare to say that. His Majesty misses you. Come in quickly." The old eunuch was not young yet, but he didn't know where he got the strength. He grabbed Zhu Min's hand and dragged him inside.

How could I let you run away? Wasn't it you who caused the trouble?
In the end, Zhu Chu still entered the side hall.

In fact, if he wanted to struggle, let alone the old eunuch, not even the team of royal guards could control him or get close to him.

But again, Zhu Yu is not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang at all now, so what if he comes to see him?

"You rebellious son, why don't you kneel down to me?" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily.

Zhu Xi curled his lips, and as soon as he came in, he had to lift his robe and kneel down.

The chief eunuch outside the door did not dare to look, so he quickly closed the palace door tightly and glared at the eunuchs and maids on the left and right. Everyone left this place of right and wrong.

In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry. He pointed at Zhu Zhen and cursed angrily: "Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen, what should we say about you? Are you so arrogant and can't tolerate anyone's words in your eyes? If I had known, In this case, you might as well die on the battlefield, and we can give you a glorious posthumous title. Now that you have made such a fuss, what will the scholars in the world say about you in the future?"

It should be noted that the worst people in the world to offend are those literati, especially nowadays, who can be said to only respect Confucianism, but you hit the Confucian people, Fang Xiaoru's status is not low.

How can this be good?

Zhu Ming knelt down, but he was not convinced at all, and said: "So what if I beat him? If it weren't for my good character, I would have killed him, even killed him from nine tribes, no, killed him from ten tribes."

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he laughed and said with anger: "Ten tribes? Are you looking at the human words you said?"

Throughout the ages, the biggest crime has been to punish the Nine Clan, but he actually said that he wanted to punish the Ten Clan?It can be said to be unprecedented.

Thankfully he can tell.

And for no reason, how dare you kill people from the nine tribes?
Zhu Ming raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "That Fang Xiaoru was mocking my minister overtly and covertly, and bluntly said that what he had done before was transgression. But he didn't want to think about how he, a commoner, dared to point fingers at me, how could he Isn’t that transgression?”

"Besides, the original matter has been settled in the court, and he still thinks that the court's decision-making is not good or wrong. Who is arrogant? I want to ask who is arrogant."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent. What he most suspected and hated most was that his ministers might threaten the imperial power.

Dare to point fingers at his affairs?Do you think you live too long?
Not to mention being headstrong, Emperor Hongwu also had his own bottom line.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang first asked Zhu Zhen to get up, and then asked about the specific process.

Zhu Xinxin said, good guy, it turns out that you don’t even know what happened, so why don’t you call me here to teach you a lesson?

So Zhu Ming explained the cause and effect, and even more aggrievedly said: "Father, I have to go to the morning court today. I have to get up before dawn. Then for the sake of our family, country and the world, and for the sake of the common people in the world. , it can be said to be a labor of love.”

"But he said that we were absent from school for no reason? Is listening to him talking nonsense in the Imperial College more important than our national interests and national policies?"

"My son rushed to the Imperial Academy without even having a bite of food, and he was picked on me for no reason. His dissatisfaction with my son was revealed in his words. He kept accusing me of overstepping his bounds, which was just short of cutting off the vassal. "

"My heart is in pain. This vassal king is not worthy of me. Just exile me to Yunnan and let me fend for myself."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zhen and already wanted to slap him.

Are you still aggrieved?You still make sense, right?
You don’t eat. Did I tell you not to eat?Was it I who asked you to go to Xu Mansion to seduce Xu Miaojin?
If we hadn't asked Jin Yiwei to catch you, wouldn't you have had to miss school for no reason today?

And we won’t argue with you about overstepping, but we didn’t say that you didn’t overstep, right?

You are so shameless.

And he always talked about being exiled to Yunnan. Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry and couldn't deal with him.

Are you feeling aggrieved?You are getting an advantage and acting like a good boy.

"Do you think you are right?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, with a warning in his voice.

Zhu Ming raised his eyebrows and said: "I think I am worthy of my father and the imperial court. As I said, I think I am right about those things in Yunnan."

This is Zhu Xi's true thoughts. No matter who he faces, he will never give in. He did the right thing.

"What is wrong must be corrected. I am not a stubborn person, nor can I not listen to other people's advice. But the problem is that Fang Xiaoru just wants to attack my son, and then bring him down so that I can cut the vassalage for my eldest nephew. Pave the way. This is selfish and should be punished."

"That's why I say that Fang Xiaoru talks about benevolence, justice and morality, but in fact, all he has in his heart is his own selfishness."

"I say it for the last time, Hu Yuan should be killed and the chieftain system should be abolished. Otherwise, rebellions will continue forever and chaos will continue."

"If he was really for the country, I would admire him, but it's a pity that he is not."

Zhu Ming sneered and said the criticism of Fang Xiaoru.

Zhu Ming already understood that Zhu Yunwen's group might not be able to hold back anymore.

It may not be what Zhu Yunwen wants to do, but the people around him never want to see other vassal kings become powerful.

including yourself.

But how could these short-sighted guys think that Emperor Hongwu wanted to help Zhu Yunwen conquer his eighteenth uncle first, so that he could work for Zhu Yunwen and escort the new emperor to the throne.

They are indiscriminate, and as long as they are the vassal king, they want to find trouble and exploit the vassal.

But he also gave them reasons and excuses, arrogance, what a good excuse to use the topic.

It's a pity that Zhu Chu is not afraid at all and doesn't bother to care.

Instead, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent, his eyes filled with anger.

Of course, he was not angry at Zhu Zhen, but secretly resented those ministers.

Did you exercise power and bring it upon me?I'm not dead yet, and you're already plotting against our sons?If I die, will any of our sons have a good death?

If Zhu Yunwen, a black-hearted boy, followed the policy of reducing vassal states, I am afraid that none of the vassal kings conferred by Zhu Yuanzhang would be retained.

In other words, all of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons will be demoted to common people, leaving no one on the throne.

By that time, Zhu Yunwen will be the only one in the old Zhu family.

This is what those civil servants want to do. They can't stand Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior of lavishly rewarding his sons, and they want to deprive his sons of all the thrones that Zhu Yuanzhang gave them.

But who is Zhu Yuanzhang?That was Emperor Hongwu.

As the saying goes, "The tiger is the supreme beast, and you don't dare to offend its anger."Only the love between father and son can be reviewed step by step.

Zhu Yuanzhang would only show affection towards his own children, but you have planned this?

So Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured: "They are really not afraid of death."

"So, father, I think it's okay not to go to this imperial prison," Zhu Zhen suddenly took the opportunity to say.

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared over, you really just climbed up the pole.

However, thinking about the fuss Zhu Ming made today, if he were just allowed to go back to class as if nothing had happened, it would really have a bad impact.

How should the other supervisors of the Imperial College feel at that time?

If we co-write, we have to follow the rules, but your son, the Hongwu Emperor, can act arbitrarily and even beat lecturers and professors?
After thinking again and again, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark and he cursed angrily: "You are really a troublemaker. Look at what you have done. We originally wanted you to go to the Imperial Academy to learn the rules. After that, you will have a good reputation after you come out." . Now that you have made such a fuss, even if we want you to go again, who would dare to teach you?"

The Imperial College now attaches great importance to the countless rules and regulations, but Zhu Zhen broke the most fundamental rule, that is, respecting teachers and teaching.

You've beaten the lecturers and professors, what else do you dare not do?

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a headache, and at the same time he was reluctant to let Zhu Ming ruin the atmosphere of the Imperial College.

In the end, I could only say helplessly: "Okay, then you can go home and stay. But I'm warning you, without my permission, if you dare to leave Yingtian for even half a step, I will immediately give the order to go Arrest your Yunnan wife and take her to Yingtian. You will have to come back in person at that time. If we don’t let you go back, you won’t be able to go back.”

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to make threats.

Zhu Ming clenched his fists. Is this what a father can say?

"No, do you really want to put me under house arrest for the rest of my life? I have already said that I can swear that I will never set foot in the Central Plains again in this life. Even the descendants of my lineage will not threaten Yunwen's lineage. Isn't this okay?" Zhu Ming was angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry: "Fart, you are our son, do you still want to separate the family? Isn't your son our grandson? He will never set foot in the Central Plains? Who will place incense on our grave in the future?"

Zhu Zhen opened his mouth and had nothing to say.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Zhen'er, how long do you think I can live? We just don't want you to fight in the same room. Can't you just give in?"

This is a rare expression of Zhu Yuanzhang's true feelings.

Even Emperor Hongwu felt that his life was about to end. How many more years could he live?
He just didn't want to see his descendants fighting among themselves during his lifetime.

Especially Zhu Zhen's swearing words made him even more angry.

I'm not dead yet, are you going to sever ties with me and separate our family?
"Should I give in? Let's see how many people want to impeach me tomorrow. Once I give in, they will eat me to the bone," Zhu Zhen sneered.

Something like this happened today, whether it is big or small.

Zhu Ming had already had a hunch in advance that he would be impeached again.

Zhu Yuanzhang also sneered and said: "We are not dead yet, can they still bully us? You are our son after all."

Zhu Ming rarely felt warm in his heart.

He finally felt protected by his father.

But Zhu Xi shook his head and said: "Actually, I have never taken those people seriously. In my opinion, these people are trash. There will probably be no place for them on my ship in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming deeply, and said with a headache: "Stop talking about these bastard words, get away."

He drove Zhu Chu away.

This kid is becoming more and more of a bastard, and he takes himself less and less seriously. His words are full of rebellious and rebellious remarks.

Return to your boat.

This is still the Hongwu period, the era of the Hongwu Emperor. Whose ship is this?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed and cursed: "Exactly the same as me."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly discovered that even Zhu Biao was not as similar to him as Zhu Zhen.

Biao'er was trained too kindly by him.

But as an emperor, sometimes you not only need to be benevolent, but you also need to be ruthless when you should be ruthless.

Especially those corrupt officials who are endlessly killed and must be dealt with with iron and blood every time in order to frighten Xiao Xiao.

Even so, it is evident that the Kongyin case and the Guo Heng case occurred during the Hongwu period.

Zhu Ming, on the other hand, never cared what the ministers thought of him, nor what his reputation was. Many of his actions were for the sake of the people, regardless of what the ministers thought.

On the contrary, Zhu Zhen's attitude towards his ministers was still very indifferent, even indifferent.

How can I put it, when he whipped Fang Xiaoru, he wanted to kill all the civil servants in the world, and then activate another group. If it didn't go his way, he would kill them again and activate them again.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly. Hu Weiyong was very capable and capable at the time, and he was a capable minister.

He shouldn't be too capable, he has already begun to threaten the imperial power, so Hu Weiyong deserves to die.

But what if it were Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen?Can they kill the killer?

At least if it was Zhu Zhen, he wouldn't be so worried.

Because Zhu Zhen is exactly the same as him, even his lawlessness, even his arrogance of being arrogant to the world, as if he doesn't take anyone seriously, are just like him.

Without the domineering power to dominate the world, how could Zhu Yuanzhang go from being a monk to finally intimidating the heroes of the world and leading them to create the foundation of the Ming Dynasty?
"It's a pity that if you were born 20 years earlier, no one in this world can compete with you. If you were born in troubled times, I'm afraid you would be even better than Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. If that were the case, it would be much easier for me to conquer the country. .”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but start to fantasize.

What would it have been like if Zhu Chu had been born when he was fighting for hegemony and became his right-hand man?
By then, father and son will be able to join forces to fight on the battlefield, and it will become a good story.

It's a pity that the world is now peaceful. What Zhu Yuanzhang wants is for the world to be peaceful and for the people to rest and recuperate. He no longer wants to have another war.

But when I think about the continent Zhu Chu revealed before, the Central Plains turns out to be just the Asian continent, not even all of it, but only part of it?

In addition, there are the European continent, the American continent, and the African continent.

The world is so big?
If the Ming Dynasty does not even have one-tenth of the world's land, then it is indeed not the time to be complacent and rest on its laurels.

If this is the case, should the vassal king be used as a weapon for the country and let the vassal king go out to expand the territory?

"This boy is worthy of being our son. He has the ambition to be a hegemon, and he is so ambitious. He really dares to think about it. Do you really dare to let more than 20 of your brothers go out to fight for world hegemony? Aren't you afraid that they will turn around and kick you out? "

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, his eyes full of relief.

I never expected that in my later years, I would discover that I had such an outstanding son, and he looked so much like him.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he felt sad about Biao'er. Instead, he had been thinking about Miao'er recently.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened just when he thought about how stupid this bastard was.

"The most important thing is that his background is too low. He is just the child of a concubine, and he has nothing to do with his direct succession."

"Unless we kill everyone in the court until the blood is flowing, we can pave the way for him. But if we do that, we will offend all the scholars in the world."

"Or, how about making Concubine Zhou your queen?"

If Concubine Zhou is suddenly canonized as queen, then Zhu Zhen, as the eldest son of Concubine Zhou and Concubine Zhou, will naturally become the legitimate son.

Didn’t Zhu Yunwen’s so-called legitimate son status come from this way?Otherwise, only Zhu Yunxi is Zhu Biao's legitimate son.

And if Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts at this time were spread, I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty would be shaken.

Is he planning to change the crown prince?
"Yunwen, your ability is really not as good as Chu'er. But Chu'er, what should I do?"

"It just so happens that the bastard is too capable."

This is particularly regrettable for Confucianism, which has a tradition of establishing direct descendants and elders.

Even Emperor Hongwu didn't know whether to be happy or to have a headache. He also understood that every family would have children with incompetent abilities and children with outstanding abilities.

For example, it is difficult for the two lads, the second and the third, to take on big responsibilities.

But the one with outstanding ability is Lao Shiba. Even if you are the fourth or fifth lao, you are still your legitimate son, and he is easy to operate.

Why is he the eighteenth old man?

"Ugh."
