Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 284 Zhu Xiongying beats Zhu Yunwen violently
The East Palace Academy was actually the place where the two imperial grandsons studied.

The eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiongying, has officially started studying. A teacher comes to teach every day. The grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunwen, also has a teacher who started his studies, but he has not studied strictly according to the rules.

But Mr. Lu didn't come today, so Zhu Xiongying took his younger brother Zhu Yunxi to play aside. Zhu Yunwen sat on a chair and practiced calligraphy seriously.

"Brother, I miss Grandma Huang." Zhu Yunxi said in a milky voice.

"In a while, Grandma Huang will be back and will bring us a lot of food." Zhu Xiongying comforted.

The two brothers had lost their mother and were very dependent on Grandma Huang. During this time, they lived in the East Palace. On the surface, Mrs. Lu was kind to them, but in fact, the brothers could not feel the warmth.

At this time, Ms. Lu walked in with a sad expression and tears on her face. When Zhu Yunwen saw it, she immediately asked: "Concubine, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Yunwen, your grandfather...he was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison." Mrs. Lu burst into tears.

"How could this happen?" Zhu Yunwen was shocked.

"Because of what happened to the Lu family in Shouzhou, they offended your grandma Huang." Mrs. Lu was obviously frightened. "I don't know how your grandpa Huang will deal with it. Whether your grandpa can survive."

Zhu Xiongying on the side frowned after hearing this, bowed to Mrs. Lu and said, "I will go to Grandpa Huang to intercede for Mr. Lu."

Lu was surprised and immediately overjoyed: "Seriously?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded seriously: "Mr. Lu taught me how to read. He is my husband, so I should."

Zhu Yunwen immediately said: "Okay, let's go together."

They left the East Palace and ran towards the Wenhua Palace.

Soon, we arrived at Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and they both pleaded for Lu Ben. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept across them, fell on Zhu Xiongying, and asked: "Yunwen is interceding for his grandfather, why are you?"

"My grandson studied with Mr. Lu, he is my husband." Zhu Xiongying said, "Mr. Lu taught his grandson that princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people. My grandson does not believe that Mr. Lu is a person who can break the law."

"You keep doing the same thing." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed dumbly. "Whether he has violated the national law or not, the Jin Yiwei will find out. You all go back, and the children should study hard and don't worry about this."

"Grandson, please leave." Zhu Xiongying stood up and left with Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two grandsons with a smile on his lips.

……

Dunhuang City.

Fourth Master Zhu and the Great Shaman entered the city. They were very tired from the long days of traveling. Fourth Master Zhu shook off the yellow sand on his body and said: "The weather in the northwest is really uncomfortable. Hey, I have such an old face." , there are more wrinkles.”

The great shaman rolled his eyes: "The Supreme Emperor, you are over a hundred years old, right? Do you care about a few more wrinkles?"

Fourth Master Zhu held his forehead and did not argue with her. After entering the city, walking on the streets, I found that Dunhuang City was quite lively, with caravans from the Western Regions coming and going, each with its own characteristics.

"Isn't there a war in the Western Region? Where are there so many caravans?" the great shaman was curious.

"The latest news is that King Yan of the Ming Dynasty has attacked Khwarezm." Fourth Master Zhu said proudly, "So, those small countries in the Western Regions, such as Qiuci, Yanqi, Ruoqiang, Loulan, and Jingjue, can come to the Ming Dynasty for trade. "

"It is said that there are thirty-six countries in the Western Region. This time I want to visit them and feel the exotic customs." The great shaman's beautiful eyes shone with yearning.

Fourth Master Zhu was also looking forward to it. He touched his belly and said, "First find an inn and rest for a few days. After planning the route in Dunhuang, we can then go to the Western Regions. It is said that Dunhuang goes west and there are thousands of miles of yellow sand. We must be prepared."

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums was heard, and many people rushed towards the city square. Fourth Master Zhu and the Great Shaman looked at each other, followed the crowd to the edge of the square, and looked up to see seven or eight prisoners kneeling on the high platform of the square.

A heroic general in armor shouted: "According to the order of King Yan, the remnants of the Demon Cult will be wiped out. Today, these remnants of the Demon Cult will be beheaded in public to warn the world not to be deceived by the Demon Cult."

The eight prisoners kneeling there had calm faces. They clasped their hands and murmured: "Burn my remains in a raging fire. How joyful is life, and how painful is death. To eliminate evil for good, there is only light. Joy and sorrow will all return. Dust. Have pity on me, the world, for my sorrows are many. Have mercy on my world, my sorrows are many."

"Kill!" General Yingwu waved his hand violently.

Fourth Master Zhu recognized the heroic general as Zhu Di's subordinate Zhu Neng.

……

Zhu Neng gave the order, and the executioners raised their butcher knives to chop. At this moment, a flying sword flew over and knocked the knives from the executioners' hands. Then, a white figure fell down. It turned out to be Saint Sage of the Great Light Palace, and the Four Treasure Tree Kings. They came to rob the law field.

"Well done!" Zhu Neng roared, "Musketeers, open fire."

Hundreds of musketeers gathered around and opened fire. In an instant, the eight demon sect prisoners were killed, while Sage and the four treasure tree kings also retreated one after another. Sage's eyes were filled with fire: "I'll kill you!"

She pointed her sword and flew towards Zhu Neng. Fourth Master Zhu's figure flashed and stood in front of Zhu Neng. He forced Sage back with a palm. When Sage saw it was him, he was shocked: "It's you. Have you come to the Western Regions too?"

bang bang bang...

Before she could finish her words, the musketeers fired a volley at her, and she flew away. The Four Treasure Tree Kings followed her and ran away without looking back. The Musketeers wanted to give chase, but were stopped by Zhu Neng: "Don't chase after poor bandits. We cannot leave these martial arts masters alone." After that, he He came to the Fourth Master Zhu and knelt down respectfully: "The last general, Zhu Neng, is here to see the Supreme Emperor."

"Get up!" Fourth Master Zhu raised his hand, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, please follow me to the Dunhuang Palace. I will tell you in detail," Zhu Neng said.

Fourth Master Zhu called the Great Shaman and came to the Dunhuang Palace. Only after listening to Zhu Neng talking about the situation here did Fourth Master Zhu understand. It turns out that the Mingjiao of the Western Regions has a particularly great influence in the Western Regions, and can even control the kings of some small countries. The alliance between Mingjiao and Timurid Empire has even greater influence.

After the Ming army marched westward and defeated the Timur Empire army, they encountered continuous assassinations from the Ming sect. Therefore, King Yan ordered the destruction of the Ming sect and defined them as a demon sect.

King Yan conquered a large number of masters from the Western Regions and used them to hunt down the Mingjiao people. The rewards were so high that many masters from the Central Plains came to the Western Regions.

"This kid really knows how to play." Fourth Master Zhu held his forehead.

"Then you directly attack the Great Guangming Palace of the Mingjiao General Altar." The great shaman said.

"Think about it, but do you know where the Great Light is?" Zhu Neng spread his hands speechlessly, "On the top of the snow-capped mountains in the Western Region, our army can't get up at all. We need experts to get up."

"Then if King Yan continues to go west, won't the rear be constantly invaded by the demon sect?" Fourth Master Zhu asked.

"Well, King Yan went to the Great Guangming Palace alone and killed their leader and the six treasure tree kings." Zhu Neng looked excited, "He also blew up the Great Guangming Palace, so there are not many masters left in the Demon Sect. Yes, we can handle it with the musketeers."

"Uh..." Fourth Master Zhu shrugged at the great shaman, "Our grandson is so domineering, are you convinced?"

The great shaman snorted: "Isn't it because of the Seven Ultimate Divine Gu? What does it have to do with you?"

……

The capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Recently, Jin Yiwei has been dispatched everywhere and arrested a large number of court officials. Everyone in the government and the public is in danger. The name of Zhu Bai, King of Xiang, has become a talisman, and ministers are afraid when they hear his name.

Therefore, many ministers wrote to the prince to impeach Jinyiwei to impeach King Zhu Bai of Hunan. Among them, there are many honest ministers and some tough scholars, such as Tie Xuan.

Prince Zhu Biao called Zhu Bai, King of Xiang, to the East Palace and said seriously: "It is easy to say it, but it is especially difficult to do it. If you can't memorize it, you still have to read it. If you can understand it, you still have to do it. What do you think?"

"Your Highness, do you think your brother has gone too far?" Zhu Bai asked.

"In just less than a month, you have arrested more than fifty officials from the DPRK and the Central Government, of whom only a dozen have solid evidence. The rest were reported, bitten, and imprisoned." Zhu Bai stared at Zhu Bai and asked, "You are not guilty and you are sentenced. You can't produce any personal or material evidence. You can convict someone based on only three or five sentences of confession. Let me ask you, what does this mean? Guaman plagiarism?"

Zhu Bai bowed and said: "His Majesty said that the Jinyi Guards should do things conveniently when correcting officials."

Zhu Bai was slightly startled: "Are you using my father to suppress me? You're out of luck!"

"Your Highness, if tyranny is like a tiger, you must kill the tiger." Zhu Bai said.

"The country has its own laws, and even if you want to investigate a case, you must follow the rules." Zhu Biao was furious, "Rites are used to guide the people, and laws are used to enforce laws. Which of the Ming laws allows you to arrest officials at will without going through the judicial process? of?"

"It is better to make corrections than to make things right, and in emergencies one has to obey the authority." Zhu Bai said, "It should be noted that it is better for one family to cry than to cry together, and for a hundred officials to cry than for the common people to cry."

Their argument happened to be overheard by Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen who were studying not far away. Zhu Yunwen's eyes were cold: "Kool official, my twelfth uncle clearly made a mistake, but he still has something to say. How can he help his father in the future?"

"What did you say?" Zhu Xiongying was furious after hearing this.

"Uncle Twelve is a cruel official. All the officials say so." Zhu Yunwen said.

"You know nothing, I won't allow you to say that to Uncle Twelve." Zhu Xiongying shouted coldly.

"I just said it!" Zhu Yunwen glared, remembering that his grandfather was arrested by his twelfth uncle.

"I'll beat you!" Zhu Xiongying rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, "Today, as the eldest brother, I will teach you well."

Snapped!
He knocked Zhu Yunwen to the ground with one slap, rode up on him, opened his bow left and right, and slapped Zhu Yunwen on the mouth. Zhu Yunwen was sobbing loudly, and there was too much noise. Mrs. Lu rushed in and pulled Zhu Xiongying away.

"You dare to hit my son?" Ms. Lu was angry.

At this time, Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai also rushed in. Zhu Biao glanced over and asked coldly: "What's going on?"

With tears in Mrs. Lu's eyes: "I don't know, but when I came in I saw Xiongying beating Yunwen. He was so cruel that Yunwen's face was swollen."

Zhu Xiongying was furious: "He called Uncle Twelve a cruel official, but I beat him lightly."

Zhu Bai was stunned and secretly gave Zhu Xiongying a thumbs up. Zhu Biao looked gloomy: "Brothers want to be harmonious, how can you hit someone?"

"Dad, you brothers don't get along with each other. Didn't you just scold Uncle Twelve? I think you also want to hit someone." Zhu Xiongying said.

"..." Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.
