Chapter 230: Thunderous means to pacify Prince Qin’s Mansion

The palace of Prince Qin was in chaos. No one expected that after Zhu Pang passed away, Princess Qin would choose to be buried with him.

Of course, only Zhu Chen knew that Guanyin Slave was definitely not committing suicide for love. I am afraid that it was true that she wished she could eat Zhu Chen alive.

What she chose was actually to escape.

Since he couldn't leave alive, he simply chose to die.

Guanyinnu chose to hang himself, so there was still a whole corpse.

When Zhu Xi saw this princess of Qin who had a rough life for the first time, he only thought that Zhu Xi might be blind.

Although the Guanyin slave is a Mongolian, she has a beautiful appearance that is very suitable for Han people to appreciate. Although she has been abused for many years, she has not lost her grace, but has added a morbid beauty.

Zhu Cang, Zhu Cang, our father also has many beauties in the harem, and he didn’t say who he abused, so why do you make things so difficult for a woman?
But Zhu Ming was helpless. He knew that Guanyin Nu would die to fight against this era and society, but unfortunately, she still couldn't do it.

Even Zhu Zhen did not dare to make the decision privately to let Guanyin Nu return to his real name and bury him somewhere else. Instead, he could only ask someone to restrain himself and keep the coffin in the coffin for five days. After that, he had to keep the coffin with Zhu Zhen in the same place and wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to order that they be buried together. .

"At least after death, you win," Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly.

Concubine Deng was sentenced to death for her crime, not to mention that she was just a partial concubine, and it was not her turn to be buried with Zhu Cang.

If Guanyin Nu was not dead, Concubine Deng could be buried near Zhu Xi's cemetery first, but in the end, Guanyin Nu, the principal concubine, would be buried together.

This is the tragedy of ancient times. Except for the main wife, the other concubines did not even have status. In fact, they only had a slightly higher status than the maids.

It is said that there were some morbid customs among ancient literati, that is, they liked to give away or even exchange concubines.

So now some women still think that monogamy is an oppression to them, saying that without monogamy, women all over the world would marry rich men.

What's the matter, are you getting married?
Concubine and wife have completely different meanings.

The reason why Zhu Zhen was suspicious of Zhu Shangbing before was because he suspected that he had killed his father.

This is because even if Zhu Shangbing is already 13 years old, once Guanyinnu gives birth to a child, her child will be legitimate.

No matter how favored Concubine Deng is, to put it bluntly, she is not as good as Guanyin Nu. There is an essential gap between status and status.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but think about himself. The reason why he rejected Xu Miaojin was because Xu Miaojin said that everyone else could have three wives and four concubines, but he couldn't?
It was because Zhu Ming knew that he could not change the limitations of today's era and did not want to make Mu Qiu feel wronged, so he persisted.

Mu Qiu is his eldest wife, but once he marries Xu Miaojin, Xu Miaojin will be his main concubine. What should Mu Qiu do?
Zhu Zhen sighed and put away his thoughts.

Guanyinnu died, but many people didn't pay too much attention to it. Not to mention feeling sad, many people probably didn't even know that she was the real Princess Qin.

Moreover, Guanyin Nu had no children, so Zhu Zhen simply asked Zhu Shangbing to take several younger brothers and sisters to watch her wake.

I just had some trouble setting up the spiritual tablets. What name should I engrave on them?

"Let's call him Wang," Zhu Zhen thought. Guanyinnu's brother's Chinese name was Wang Baobao, so he set up Wang's spiritual position.

Otherwise, we can’t call him Zhao Min, right?Do you really think it’s The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slaying?

After placing Guanyin Nu Wang's mourning hall, it was already evening.

Zhu Chu was not in a hurry to rest, but asked people to light lanterns in the yard.

He had already had everyone from the palace gathered together. Even the hundreds of palace guards were tied up with ropes and gathered in a corner of the courtyard.

When Zhu Chu finally took the time to come to this courtyard, everyone just watched him walking in silence.

Zhu Chu looked up and saw that these people were old and young, male and female.

But although they look different, their expressions are all dead-like.

This is not an adjective, but everyone has lost their energy. Although they are still alive, they are as if they are dead, and their faces are ashen.

They looked at Zhu Ming with dull eyes, as if they had completely despaired of life and the future.

In fact, if it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be the same.

Zhu Cun couldn't help but sneered: "Qin King Zhu Cang, Zhu Cang, Zhu Cang, you really deserve to die."

As soon as these words came out, some of those people were moved in their hearts, their expressions finally changed, and they looked at Zhu Ming in surprise.

"Sir, aren't you here to kill us?" Someone finally couldn't help but ask.

"Why do you say that?" Zhu Zhen asked.

The man said: "Because His Highness King Qin is dead, I'm afraid we will have to be buried with him. He didn't torture us to death when he was alive. As a result, everyone else died, and we couldn't escape."

Anyway, they feel that they are going to die, so these people have nothing to fear. Even if they know that saying this to a prince can be regarded as a capital crime, so what?

Not a death?

When a person can no longer live, when a person is not even afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?

This is what Zhu Zhen thought before. The common people are already the most honest people, but if you force such common people to survive, then a common man can pull the emperor off his horse in a rage.

For example, this Zhu Xi is used to being domineering and domineering, thinking that he is a prince and does whatever he wants.

Wasn't he poisoned to death in the end?
As the saying goes, honest people are easy to bully, but don’t bully honest people to the end.

"Who said I wanted to kill you?" Zhu Chu looked at the people in front of him whose eyes had lost their luster and said loudly: "I'm not afraid to tell you that I am the eighteenth son of Emperor Hongwu, King of Dian Zhu Chu."

Everyone in the yard gasped.

Someone murmured: "Is there another prince here? His Majesty the Emperor really wants to kill us all."

"What are these words?" Zhu Zhen said angrily: "Do you think that this king, like the cruel and unkind Zhu Zhen, is here to harm you? You are the people of the Ming Dynasty. We, the vassal kings who guard the border and defend the country, originally It’s to protect you.”

People just looked at Zhu Chu without any reaction, not even a slight change in his expression, and thought he was farting.

It's not surprising that they were like this. Zhu Shangbing truthfully reported to Zhu Zhen what Zhu Shangbing had done before.

If it were Zhu Xi, he would have killed Zhu Xi long ago.

These people were able to endure until now before poisoning Zhu Xi. It can be said that they have been forced to the point where there is really no way to survive, otherwise it would not be like this.

Zhu Ming sighed and said: "I know that you have been extremely disappointed with us vassals, or rather with our old Zhu family. No matter how much I say, when there is a crisis of trust, how can we restore it? ?”

"Even if I say that I am here to uphold justice for you, is delayed justice considered justice? You have been tortured both physically and mentally by that bitch Zhu Xi for so long. Do justice and justice now have any meaning? ?”

"But one thing I must make clear is that I don't know, and even my father, His Majesty, doesn't know what Zhu Ping did. Otherwise, he should have been punished long ago."

"I, the King, are here. As Zhu Xi's younger brother, and on behalf of the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty, I can only say a meaningless apology to you all. It is my Zhu family that is sorry for you."

At the end of the sentence, Zhu Zhen actually clasped his hands in his fists, even bent deeply, almost bowed to the end, and saluted.

Everyone was shocked and looked at Zhu Zhen stupidly.

Zhu Zhen has already revealed his identity. He is also a vassal king. Although the king's title is definitely not as good as that of King Qin, his rank is the same.

And this majestic King of Dian is actually apologizing to these palace people?

He even represents the Ming Dynasty and the current His Majesty?
What's more, he still carries Shang Fang's sword. Even if others don't know, at least he knows that he is indeed qualified to represent Zhu Yuanzhang.

Gradually, some people finally became excited, and some even covered their mouths and burst into tears.

God knows how much abuse and torture they suffered. That Zhu Ping was simply not a human being. He treated them as if they were not human beings, beating and scolding them at will, and tortured them in countless ways.

Some people even want to die.

They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that life would be worse than death.

Now that he finally received a belated apology, Zhu Ping finally received his retribution.

In the crowd, a middle-aged woman couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness the King of Dian, you have not sorry for us, nor are you torturing us. You don't have to do this."

They can still distinguish right from wrong. It is Zhu Zhen's sin, why should Zhu Zhen bear it?
Zhu Ming slowly raised his head and looked at these people. They had all been subjected to such inhuman torture and could still say such things. He couldn't help but sigh: "All you ask for is to live. This is not a crime." .”

Human life is more important than heaven. In necessary moments, such as when you are about to starve to death, if there is really no other way and you have the ability, you can even eat to protect animals.

Even if it is a national treasure, you can eat it.The law targets unnecessary and unwarranted harm to protected animals, not to mention poaching.

But the law is ultimately people-oriented.

What sin does a person have when he lives and wants to live?

That Zhu Cang made life a luxury.

Zhu Zhen said in a serious tone: "But the privileges of King Qin were given by the imperial court. Originally, the imperial court set up vassal kings to protect the family and the country, and to protect the people from being invaded by foreigners. In the end, this guy ended up hurting you. The chief culprit. If I don’t even dare to apologize, and if the court doesn’t even dare to admit this mistake, then wouldn’t we become accomplices?”

Zhu Zhen also knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. As he said before, is the belated justice and justice still meaningful?
"Even belated justice is meaningful. If even belated justice does not exist, then is there any justice in this world?" Zhu Zhen suddenly shouted and moved his hands to those who were bound in the corner. The palace guard pointed out.

"These guys are the accomplices of Qin King Zhu Ping. I think I can guess that as the palace guards, they are Zhu Ping's confidant guards. They are the ones who usually help Zhu Ping to commit evil."

"Tell us all the suffering you have suffered, and I promise to uphold justice for you. As long as these people deserve to die, today the king will kill them and make this place a river of blood."

"Otherwise, justice cannot be served. Human lives require blood to repay."

As Zhu Ming spoke, he took out Shang Fang's sword from his waist and shouted: "This is Shang Fang's sword, as if I were here in person. At this moment, I am the king."

The palace guards in the corner panicked, and then they realized why they were tied here, and they begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare your life, don't blame us, His Highness King Qin ordered us to do something, we dare not disobey, we are just Just do as you’re told.”

What they said was also true.

But Zhu Ming sneered and said: "But you can also secretly send a letter to the court to report. Do you really think that I don't know? Even I have my father's royal guards around me. If I do anything untoward, Mi Zhe will immediately It will be sent to Father's Dragon Case. I don't believe that there are no Jin Yiwei among you."

"To put it bluntly, if you follow Zhu Ping, you can eat well and drink spicy food, you can show off your power, you can be domineering, you can be domineering, you can harm others wantonly. You should be punished for your crimes."

Zhu Zhen was not stupid. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was not only suspicious of himself, but also that all vassal kings should have his talents around them.

But not all Jin Yiwei are loyal. To put it bluntly, it's just that the value of betrayal is not enough.

There was no betrayal, just not enough chips.

Li Gui lowered his head, thinking guiltily, did His Highness already know something?

Wang Fu glanced at Li Gui, you guessed it right, His Highness already knew it.

Looking at the palace people, whether they were palace maids or eunuchs, they all looked at each other and suddenly knelt down.

"My lord, please make the decision."

They finally couldn't hold it any longer and were finally willing to open their hearts to Zhu Ming.

Some people cried loudly, while others began to describe what Zhu Ping had done over the years.

Zhu Ming secretly winked at Wang Fu and asked him to find someone to record everything.

And just as Zhu Ping guessed, these people who were able to come to the palace as guards were the ones who helped Zhou do evil and helped Zhu Ping harm the people.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, to be able to become the confidant of a person like Zhu Ming, I wonder what these guards are like on weekdays.

Zhu Ming was not ambiguous. As he said, after confirming that these people had indeed followed Zhu Ming to commit crimes, he directly asked people to start liquidation in the corner of the yard.

Zhu Chu's people were not vague people. The machetes fell one after another, and hundreds of heads immediately rolled to the ground.

Puddles of blood soon dyed the ground and nearby courtyard walls red. These lives that were alive not long ago were immediately extinct.

To be honest, this scene is still shocking.

Even the palace people stopped crying, and some people looked at this scene in shock.

Zhu Ming snorted coldly: "I thought these people's blood was black."

Was it also red blood?
"It's a pity that although Zhu Xi has done many evil things, he is my second brother after all. He can only report it to the court before punishing him. Otherwise, I will cut off his dog's head, cut open his chest, and take a look at him." Is your heart dark?" Zhu Chen was still angry. Even after Zhu Chen died, he kept cursing.

The main reason is that Zhu Xiang is not a human being.

As a human being, how can you be so unworthy of a human being?
Although they are brothers, they are not from the same mother after all, so just scold them.

"Okay, you can rest assured. Since I said that I will not punish you, and you are not guilty in the first place, why did you do anything wrong? Go down and have a good rest. Now that the Qin Prince's palace has undergone huge changes, you must take good care of it. up and down."

"As for the title of King Qin, I promise that even if Zhu Shangbing is allowed to seize the title, he will not do evil like Zhu Fang again. Otherwise, you will tell me when the time comes and I will chop off his head."

Since Zhu Xi did not have a legitimate son, it is probably Zhu Shangbing who succeeded him.

Even if Zhu Ping is not a good person, after all, Zhu Shangbing cannot be implicated. Zhu Shangbing's crime is at most a failure to report what he knew.

As long as Zhu Shangbing is not involved in Zhu Ping's many evil deeds, the lineage of King Qin's titles should not be broken.

It is better to say that for Zhu Zhen, from a political point of view, he does not want to abolish the Qin king's lineage now.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he support the reduction of vassalage?

Politics can be so fucked up sometimes, and Zhu Ming doesn't like politicians either, but he has no choice, especially after going to the capital for a while, he becomes even more helpless.

If you want to defeat politicians, you can only become politicians yourself.

At least until he becomes emperor, he has to play by these rules.

But at least he punished those damn accomplices with thunderous means.

The whole palace of Prince Qin finally calmed down, and the people in the palace felt much more at ease and began to take care of the affairs of the palace as usual.

It can even be said that the palace people are more diligent and attentive than before, especially when they meet Zhu Zhen's guards or even Zhu Zhen, they will sincerely say hello.

This was a treatment that the King of Qin could not enjoy before. In the past, everyone in the palace was only afraid of King Qin Zhu Ping. It was fear but not sincerity.

And in this way, Zhu Zhen became the master of Prince Qin's palace without knowing it.

There was no way, both King Qin and Princess Qin passed away, and the partial concubine was also given death. Zhu Shangbing was not considered a prince and had no status. His younger brothers and sisters could only keep watch for Guanyin Nu.

So Zhu Ming gained the power to take charge of Prince Qin's palace honestly and politely, and even took the opportunity to let the housekeeper and eunuch take out the account books of the palace.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

As mentioned earlier, Zhu Xi ordered the soldiers and civilians in the pass to buy gold and silver for many years. The soldiers and civilians were so embarrassed that they even sold their sons and daughters.

All of this considerable wealth was used to enrich his own pockets, either squandering it or using it to please Concubine Deng.

As a result, Xi'an is a famous ancient city, but the people in the city are impoverished. Even the three royal guards assigned to Zhu Chong are mostly alienated.

Because he didn't even spare his own guards. In addition to the palace guards, more than 1 guards were also squeezed miserably.

Zhu Xi's guard station is composed of three guards, with a standard force of more than 5000 people.

According to the military household registration system, there are more than 3 people with military household registration.

These people literally became his slaves.

"What has become of the ancient city of Xi'an?" Zhu Ming was furious, shaking the account book. Every word on it was so shocking.

"Li Gui," Zhu Ming shouted to the outside.

Li Gui hurriedly walked in and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Go and tell the whole city overnight that I will open a granary tomorrow to store grain. King Qin has several granaries in the city. He is full, but let the people starve to death?"

"This kid is even more hateful than those toasts," Zhu Ming was going crazy.

This is still the early Ming Dynasty, or the Hongwu period. Are you so impatient that you want to make our old Zhu family lose the support of the people?

This is Xi'an. Once the people no longer support the Ming Dynasty and turn to other places, what hidden dangers and disasters will there be?
After Li Gui took the order and left, Zhu Zhen called Wang Fu again: "Have you found anyone from the Shen family?"

"Report to Your Highness, not only have they been found, but Shen Rong has come in person."

Zhu Ming was stunned, why is Shen Rong here?There was an ominous feeling in my heart.

(PS: I’ve been under a lot of pressure these past few days. I didn’t sleep well last night. I fell asleep in the middle of the night. I woke up before five or six o’clock and couldn’t fall asleep. I was still sleepy and couldn’t fall asleep. I was in a daze until about eight o’clock and slept until twelve o’clock in the afternoon. Click. My ears started to ring in the ears and my head hurt. It felt uncomfortable. I wanted to take a day off, but I have been updating all the time in the past few days, and the pressure of saving manuscripts is so great...)
