The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 138 The evil consequences caused by Zhu Biao (please vote for me)
Zhu Biao was not a person who liked to blame others, so even though he was unhappy, he did not show it.

Halfway through the banquet, he excused himself from running around and being tired and went to rest.

At this time, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that this brother had gone too far.

I am also prepared to persuade him.

If he could be said to have changed his mind, wouldn't it be a good story?

However, when he came to the Banknote Bureau the next day and learned about the issuance of new banknotes, he couldn't stand it anymore.

The biggest counterfeit leader in Shaanxi is the King of Qin, Zhu Fang.

At first, he really had no idea of ​​collecting treasure money. What he liked to collect was real money.

He once forced people to look for gold and silver for him, which forced many people to go bankrupt.

When Zhu Yuanzhang announced that treasure banknotes could be exchanged for salt, especially when salt merchants entered the market to purchase treasure banknotes at high prices.

He finally couldn't take it anymore.

Millions of counterfeit banknotes were printed and salt merchants were forced to buy them.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao's face turned livid. He was gathering the wool of the imperial court.

"Why didn't you report it to me earlier?"

Du Yichang, the local director of the Financial Bureau, said with a wry smile: "Chang'an is the territory of King Qin, and all correspondence must be checked by him."

"We...we are also being monitored at all times and cannot pass on information."

It’s not that there’s no way to pass on the information, it’s that I don’t dare.

So what if the news gets out?Will the court punish King Qin for this?
With you as the crown prince protecting me, the most I can do is a punishment and a reprimand.

And we have to continue to work locally. The consequences of offending King Qin will be the death of our whole family.

Zhu Biao naturally understood this truth, so he was even more angry.

angry with myself.

He really shot himself in the foot, and the boomerang finally pierced himself.

"Where are the new banknotes? How are the new banknotes?"

Du Yichang looked at his face and said cautiously:
"Most of the goods in the warehouse of the Golden Banknote Bureau were requisitioned by the King of Qin, so..."

Therefore, people cannot exchange for anything, and the new banknotes are no different from the old banknotes.

Zhu Biao squeezed out four words from between his teeth: "Lawless."

"Tell me everything about King Qin's actions. If you conceal anything, you will be guilty of the same crime."

Du Yichang was complaining in his heart. You, the old man, will leave after asking. What should we do?
Do you think King Qin doesn’t know what’s happening here?

I'm afraid it won't be long before all the news reaches his ears.

But he did not dare to disobey the prince's order, so he could only tell everything he knew about the situation.

Extravagant life, large-scale construction projects, and excessive taxation are no longer a problem for him.

He forced the people to buy gold and silver for him, forcing countless people to sell their sons and daughters, and their families were ruined.

Hundreds of people came to beg for mercy, but he beat them away with sticks. One person was killed on the spot, and hundreds more were arrested.

The family members of the arrested person spent the last bit of their wealth before ransoming the person.

Catch pregnant women and watch their separation and death scenes.

He arrested hundreds of young girls for his own pleasure.Capture young children and castrate them for your own use.

They executed the palace denizens at will, cut out their tongues, and tortured them in various ways.

Imprison the main concubine and pamper the secondary concubine.

"There is a palace in the King of Qin's palace, which is specially used by King Qin and his second concubine to torture and kill people."

Speaking of this, Du Yichang hesitated and said: "It is said... it is said..."

Zhu Biao asked coldly: "What is said?"

Du Yichang lowered his head and said, "It is said that King Qin used a five-clawed dragon robe and made a queen's crown for his second concubine Deng."

"Bang." Zhu Biao punched the table: "Asshole."

Du Yichang's legs were so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Many people in Chang'an know about this matter, and I will never dare to talk nonsense."

Zhu Biao took a deep breath, controlled his anger, and said, "I'm not blaming you, get up."

Only then did Du Yichang get up from the ground with lingering fear.

Zhu Biao asked again: "Is there anything else? Let's talk about it together."

Anyway, it has been said here, and Du Yichang has nothing to hide, so he told everything Zhu Xi did, no matter how big or small.

After listening, Zhu Biao was silent for a long time, and after a long while he said to the anxious Du Yichang:
"Don't go out these days. Stay here."

Du Yichang was half relieved and said quickly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

After this incident, Zhu Biao was too lazy to patrol anymore.

However, he did not completely believe Du Yichang's words, but sent his men to investigate in person.

Zhu Feng was confident and never thought of keeping a low profile when doing things.

It is very easy to investigate his crimes.

Within a few days, Zhu Biao's desk was filled with various charges against him.

Each one of these is simply shocking.

Zhu Biao lost control of his emotions several times and shouted "beast" many times.

He was equally remorseful, why should he plead for such a beast?

Is the reputation of a 'loving younger brother' so important to him?

Is it so important that you don’t care about the lives of the people?

I'm afraid that when future generations mention this matter, instead of thinking that I am kind, they will scold myself for allowing my brother to harm the people for the sake of fame.

In fact, he thought too much, because he died early and because Zhu Di succeeded in his rebellion.

Not many people knew that he had stopped Zhu Yuanzhang several times and recalled Zhu Feng for severe punishment.

But it didn't matter. After learning what this 'good brother' had done, he had already begun to regret it.

However, as the deputy emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was not an indecisive person who was immersed in negative emotions.

What he is better at is solving problems.

Make a decision immediately:
You must make up for the mistakes you make yourself.

However, he did not act rashly. This was Chang'an, the base camp of Qin King Zhu Cang.

The Ming vassal kings had guards, at least 3000 people.

As the king of Sai, Zhu Ping's guards were even larger, tens of thousands of people.

And he also has the right to mobilize the entire Shaanxi army.

Dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious.

What's more, Zhu Xi was cruel by nature and had certain military capabilities.

It really pissed him off, and even the prince himself couldn't handle it.

Therefore, some small means are needed to deal with him.

It's really just a small trick.

This little trick has a famous name in history:
Hongmen Banquet.

Yes, Zhu Biao prepared a Hongmen Banquet for his second brother.

At the same time, Zhu Xi's confidants and more than ten senior officials from Shaanxi were invited.

Zhu Xi didn't have any doubts and happily brought people to participate.

Not to mention how happy everyone was during the dinner, and the flattering sounds were endless.

Halfway through the banquet, Zhu Biao suddenly said: "Second brother, my father and mother have talked about you many times and said they want to meet you."

Zhu Ming laughed proudly and said, "Haha, my father and mother love me the most. I miss my parents too, and I wish I could fly back to heaven to honor them."

Zhu Biao pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, it turns out that the second brother also wants to see his parents. That's great."

"In that case, why don't you set off immediately to answer the question? My parents will definitely be very happy to see you."

Zhu Fang thought he was joking with him, so he laughed and said: "Okay, my eldest brother happens to be in Chang'an, help me keep an eye on this place."

Zhu Biao also smiled: "Okay, big brother will help you keep an eye on Chang'an. Have you all heard it?"

Although others thought it was a bit weird, they didn't think much about it and just thought it was a joke.

They all agreed: "With the prince here, Shaanxi will be as stable as Mount Tai."

"When King Qin meets Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please don't forget to say hello to me."

"His Royal Highness and the King of Qin are brothers and brothers who are respectful and respectful. They are truly role models for all generations."

Hearing everyone's compliments, Zhu Ping was even more happy and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.Afterwards, he even told Zhu Biao in a serious manner what matters he needed to pay attention to after he left.

Zhu Biao listened very carefully and repeatedly promised that nothing would go wrong.

Naturally, the others also expressed their understanding and expressed that they would assist His Royal Highness.

The banquet was a lively one, and Zhu Ming was very drunk.

Although the others were also enjoying themselves, after all, they did not dare to get really drunk in front of the prince and remained sober.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhu Biao helped Zhu Ming up:
"Come, I will send you my answer to my parents."

The drunk Zhu Ping thought he was being sent home, so he turned back to the others and said:
"You guys keep drinking, I'll respond to my parents first..."

As he said that, he fell to the ground and became completely drunk.

Zhu Biao waved to two people, picked him up and walked out.

Others stood up to see each other off, but Zhu Biao's face turned cold and he said:
"Everyone sit down and continue drinking. No one is allowed to leave this place without my order."

Everyone was shocked and finally realized that something was wrong.

Zhu Ming's confidant was anxious and wanted to step forward and snatch him back.

However, the next moment, a group of soldiers poured in from outside and looked at them eagerly.

It was Zhu Biao's personal imperial guards.

Now, even the stupidest person knows what happened.

Zhu Biao ignored them and came outside.

A car had been waiting for a long time, and Zhu Ping was put on the car.

Zhu Biao personally put shackles on him and locked one end of the shackles on the car to prevent him from escaping.

"Return to Yingtian quickly and don't stop for a moment on the way."

"This is my handwritten letter, along with the evidence of King Qin's crime. I hand it over to His Majesty."

After that, he ordered his men to take over the Qin Palace.

"Send Princess Qin, the second concubine and other family members to Yingtian as well."

"Take down the palace steward, the chief historian, etc., and wait for them to be punished."

After dealing with all this, he returned to the banquet.

Everyone attending the banquet looked at him in fear.

Everything changed so quickly that they are still a little confused.

But one thing is certain, the prince fooled everyone.

Everything he said was true.

It was they who took this all as a joke.

Originally, they thought that the prince was as kind as the rumors and could actually joke like this.

Now I realize that I was too stupid.

How could the emperor, a prince recognized by veteran assassins, be a benevolent and weak person?

How could a kind person capture a prince on the spot and escort him directly to Yingtian?

Ren is just his disguise.

But there was one more thing that they all ignored.

That is, Zhu Biaocai is only the prince, and Zhu Feng is the prince or the king of Sai.

The prince dared to take down a high-ranking prince without permission.

It has been almost impossible in all dynasties.

But Zhu Biao just did it, and everyone took it for granted.

Zhu Biao returned to his seat and sat down with a warm smile on his face:
"Look at what I'm doing and keep drinking. Do you think the wine here doesn't taste good?"

"No, no, no... the wine here, Your Highness, is delicious."

No one dared to say no, so they quickly picked up the wine glasses and drank themselves a sip.

Some people choked because they drank too much, but they didn't dare to cough violently, which made it extremely uncomfortable.

Zhu Biao looked at everyone and said, "I have heard about what King Qin did."

"I understand that you don't dare to persuade or complain. After all, he is a prince, and you can't afford to offend him."

"But I can't forgive someone who helps others do evil."

The expressions of half of the people on the field changed drastically, especially Zhu Xi's confidants.

There are still some people who want to clap their hands and cheer.

Among them, the local officials of Shaanxi are the main ones. They have really suffered from the King of Qin for a long time.

Most of them were the ones who secretly reported King Qin's evil deeds.

But every time the court dealt with it, it was to reprimand and order correction.

On the contrary, those who reported him often suffered retaliation.

As time went by, no one showed up.

Not collaborating with them is already considered to be more ethical.

Many people have chosen to join.

At this time, an official sitting at the seat of Zhu Ping's confidant stood up and straightened his clothes.

Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, he looked directly at Zhu Biao and asked:

"Your Highness, may I ask if King Qin will come back?"

Zhu Biao's face turned cold: "This is not something you should worry about."

The official said: "I am from Shaanxi, can't I still care about this matter?"

Zhu Biao angrily scolded: "Since you are from Shaanxi, why do you want to join him in harming the local people?"

"With such behavior, how can you have the dignity to call yourself a Shaanxi person?"

The official forced out a smile that looked more like crying and said: "Your Highness, you know that I have a clan uncle and three clan brothers who were all killed by the King of Qin for exposing his crimes."

"No one in the whole family was spared."

"And how the imperial court dealt with King Qin, do you need me to repeat it for Your Highness?"

Zhu Biao's face became even more ugly, and he asked: "You are collaborating with him, where will you put your brothers from the Bo clan? I'm afraid they will not be able to rest in peace."

The official laughed miserably and said: "Four people from my clan impeached him, causing him to be questioned by the court and lose face."

"If I didn't join him, I'm afraid that all the chickens and dogs in the family would have been killed long ago."

Zhu Biao's face froze and he could no longer speak.

To put it bluntly, most of the responsibility for Zhu Ping's escape from punishment lies with him as the prince.

A loyal person can only rely on this method to protect his family.

When he thought of this, he felt a burning pain on his face.

The official suddenly laughed loudly: "Haha... The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law... Hehe... Haha..."

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and someone yelled:

"Crazy man, how dare you disrespect the prince."

The accompanying guards looked even more ugly, and some of them had already drawn their weapons.

As long as he gave the order, he would immediately step forward and hack the man to death on the spot.

Zhu Biao was in shame and naturally could not give such an order.

The official smiled, his face already full of tears, Zhu Biao said:
"Your Highness, I only hope that the people of Shaanxi will never suffer such man-made disasters again."

After saying that, he ran directly towards a guard.

The imperial guard subconsciously slashed with his sword.

Zhu Biao only had time to shout: "No..."

"Poof." The sharp blade had already chopped the official to the ground.
