Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

Zhu Kai then thought of the group of talented people outside. They had not seen each other for nearly half a year. After thinking it over, they decided to go out and play together.

Everyone has grown up, and some of the people around Zhu Kai are married. Everyone is an adult, so the place for the gathering naturally cannot be too childish.

So, red sleeves wave, let’s go!

Hongxiuzhao, located on the bank of Qinhuai River, is a place Zhu Kai often visits... He has been to the bank of Qinhuai River three times in total, and he went to Hongxiuzhao all three times.

After the boss of Hong Xiu Zhao heard about the identities of Zhu Kai and others, he secretly spread the news behind the scenes, saying that the girls of Hong Xiu Zhao had skin so soft that water could be pinched out of it, and even some people in the royal family were particularly fond of the girls of Hong Xiu Zhao.

The business of this brothel is all about word of mouth. Even the royal family is quite yearning for Hong Xiu Zhao. Naturally, wealthy businessmen and large families also began to flock to Hong Xiu Zhao, wanting to see what's so good about the girls there.

As a result, Hong Xiu Zhao was packed with people every day, and even some girls from outside the city began to take the initiative to join Hong Xiu Zhao. It was heard that Hong Xiu Zhao made a lot of money and was now preparing to open two branches in Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhu Kai was an important customer. He always came with a large group of friends and was always generous with his money. Upon hearing that an important customer was coming, the madam of Hong Xiuzhao immediately ordered people to clean up the super luxurious private room No. 1 on the third floor and prepared a lot of food according to the preferences of these gentlemen.

When the girls in Hongxiuzhao heard that a big customer was coming, they took out all their treasured cosmetics, hoping to win the customer's favor.

When Zhu Kai and his group arrived at Hongxiuzhao and walked into Room No. 1 and sat down, more than 30 girls came in holding meat, fruits and drinks with bright smiles on their faces. Soon the aroma of meat, wine and the fragrance of the girls filled the entire private room.

Zhu Kai naturally sat in the largest seat in the middle, with Di Baonu and Zhu Di next to him. Di Baonu seemed to have opened up a new world and his eyes were dazzled.

The girls who could enter Room No. 1 were all people who had seen the world and experienced big situations. They did not look down on the ground security slave because of his strange appearance. Instead, they became more enthusiastic towards him.

The two girls, one on the left and one on the right, were about to hang on the security guard, making him so embarrassed that he was so scared that he dared not to raise his head and lay on the soft part of the women's bodies without raising his head.

"What are you two doing? My brother is still a child, please don't let him drink!"

Zhu Di had to take care of Di Baonu, then waved his hand: "You all come to me, I am strong and can handle it!"

The earth servant refused to be outdone: "Fifth brother, I can handle it too."

"Giggle..."

The girls around were all giggling and the atmosphere became more lively.

Zhu Kai raised his glass and said to the group of people present: "Brothers, today is our last gathering this year. After the New Year, I will host you and we will drink again! I'll drink, you guys can drink as you please! Brothers, drink!"

"Master Kai, drink first!"

Zhu Kai drank it all in one gulp, and the other wise men followed suit, finishing the wine heroically.

Only the local slave was a little depressed. He also wanted to drink, but the girl next to him wouldn't let him and drank the wine instead.

After Zhu Di finished drinking, he grabbed a piece of meat and began to wolf it down. Although he was an adult, the wine was indeed very spicy and he had to eat something to slow down.

However, he still had things to do. After eating a piece of meat, he reached out to take the handkerchief from the girl, wiped it casually, then stood up and picked up the wine bowl: "This second glass of wine, let's toast to Master Kai! Congratulations to Master Kai for having a baby boy!"

Speaking of children, Zhu Kai smiled happily. This was the proudest thing he had done this year: "No more words, brothers... drink!"

"Congratulations, Master Kai, on the birth of your baby boy!"

The voices were in unison, as if they had been rehearsed, and the voices were loud and clear, echoing from private room No. 1 to the outside.

The unanimous voice, coupled with the fact that it was Master Kai's name that was being called, made everyone think of Master Kai, the most mysterious man in Yingtian Prefecture.

he came?
Master Kai's name is well-known in Yingtian Prefecture, but very few people know his real identity. Even if they know that Master Kai is Zhu Kai, they will not tell anyone. Their own children are following Zhu Kai in Yingtian Prefecture. If they expose Zhu Kai's identity, wouldn't that be making things difficult for themselves?
Therefore, everyone who knew Zhu Kai's identity kept silent.

Those who don't know the true identity of "Master Kai" are extremely curious about Zhu Kai. This Master Kai is well-connected in both the black and white worlds and can go directly to Yingtian Prefecture. Moreover, Master Kai is a righteous and charitable person with a very good reputation. Therefore, those who want to get to know Zhu Kai should not be too eager to get to know him.

Now that 'Master Kai' is on Hongxiuzhao, everyone realizes that this is the closest they have ever been to Master Kai.

In that case, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go meet Master Kai.

However, when I reached the third floor, I found that the door had been blocked by someone, holding a goose-feather knife and with a look on his face that said "no entry".

Seeing the ferocious-looking guard holding a knife and a murderous aura, those who wanted to go to room one instantly became timid.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

Since I can't go upstairs, it should be okay to wait downstairs, right?
They just don't believe that the mysterious 'Mr. Kai' can stay in Room No. 1 forever!

That night, Hongxiuzhao was brightly lit.

……

In room number one.

Zhu Kai was still drinking with his group of people.

Zhu Kai was so drunk that he felt like he didn't know how to hold up the wine glass with his hands. He felt like he couldn't even take his hands away from the side because he was being fed by the two people beside him, including the meat that was fed into his mouth.

Zhu Kai moved his fingers and sighed: The promotion of this red sleeve move is really right, it's like pinching a water ball.

Zhu Kai was still relatively okay, but the people around him were even worse. The girls next to Xu Yingxu didn't even have their clothes in order, and their bellybands and agreements had been thrown away casually.

These wise men...are really good at playing around!
Zhu Kai couldn't help but have a headache. How did he get to know such a bunch of people before? It was so embarrassing for him.

"Come with me, come home with me, and I'll kill you as soon as I get home!"

Zhu Di next to him was already drunk. He didn't have the courage to stay overnight outside, but he dared to bring the woman home!

When Zhu Kai heard this, he thought it was unacceptable. If he brought the woman from the brothel to the palace, would he be able to survive the rest of the year?

"No more drinking. No more drinking."

Zhu Kai quickly pulled his hand out of his bellyband, pulled Zhu Di over and left.

"Master..."

The woman following Zhu Kai hurriedly called Zhu Kai and stamped her feet in shame and anger: "Money, you haven't given me the money yet." "Take it."

Zhu Kai took out two gold cakes, then pulled Zhu Di away and said, "Let's go. Today's party is over. We'll meet again after the New Year."

When the wise men present saw Zhu Kai leaving, they all supported each other and left.

Mao Xiang and Jiang Li had been waiting outside. When Zhu Kai and Zhu Di appeared, he immediately ordered his men to surround Zhu Kai and Zhu Di.

If word got out that the prince visited a brothel, wouldn't it be a joke?
Although Mao Xiang and Jiang Li can guarantee that Zhu Kai and Zhu Di did nothing wrong, they still have to make others believe it, right?
But Zhu Kai's body was too tall, and the Jinyiwei around him could not surround him at all. Many people who were still waiting for "Master Kai" to appear in red sleeves immediately leaned over.

But when they saw people, they immediately retracted their heads.

It turned out to be him... Isn't he the biggest scourge of Yingtian Prefecture? How could he be the righteous 'Master Kai'?
Zhu Kai.

In the entire Yingtian Prefecture, Zhu Kai is the only one who can grow into a body as big as Zhu Kai's. His body has become the best business card for others to recognize him.

……

Everyone knows Zhu Kai's identity, but no one dares to expose it. As long as no one is deliberately targeting Zhu Kai, everyone will pretend not to know Zhu Kai.

Are you kidding? The Jinyiwei are not kidding. If the news of Zhu Kai's visit to Hongxiuzhao is known by the Jinyiwei, he can trace back the person's ancestors for eighteen generations. Wouldn't it be easy to find out the instigator?
However, there are also people who are not afraid of Zhu Kai's identity.

Zhu Kai left Hong Xiu Zhao and led everyone home. The carriages of the Qunxian families were all nearby, and they wanted to pick everyone up and take them back. But Zhu Kai didn't know what was wrong with him. He didn't want to take the carriage home, but everyone walked on the street together, singing loudly as they walked. Some tables and chairs placed on the roadside suffered.

Zhou Heng.

The Prime Minister of Yingtian Prefecture, his position was below that of the Governor of Yingtian Prefecture, Meng Duan. However, Zhou Heng looked down on Meng Duan, who was smooth in his dealings with others, and often argued with him. He was a rare upright official in Yingtian Prefecture.

If Zhu Kai was the honest and upright official recognized by the people, then Zhou Heng was the honest and upright official with the official seal. The people loved both of them and believed that their good lives were due to the efforts of both of them.

Zhou Heng was a very upright man and meticulous in his work. As the New Year was approaching, Meng Duan, in order to maintain stability in Yingtian Prefecture, specifically assigned the task of maintaining public order to Zhou Heng. After receiving the order, Zhou Heng naturally did his best to do it. In order to let the entire city spend the New Year in peace, he had not been home for half a month.

At night, Zhou Heng patrolled the streets and alleys with the night watchmen, constables, and people from the Yingtian Prefecture Patrol Camp. After several streets, they could hear the howling of ghosts and wolves in the wind.

Such an unpleasant singing voice, which was obviously that of a drunkard, Zhou Heng couldn't help but frown.

He dared to be so presumptuous after curfew. No matter what power was behind him, Zhou Heng was ready to put him in the cell to sober him up.

"Everyone, follow me to catch him!"

Zhou Heng took the lead and followed the sound. The patrol camp and the constables naturally obeyed his orders and followed Zhou Heng to capture the man.

Anyone who dares to act so presumptuous after curfew must be from a wealthy and powerful family, and there might be powerful figures behind them. If they investigate, they won't be able to hold them, the soldiers, so it will definitely put pressure on Zhou Heng.

The constables and soldiers of the patrol camp had long been dissatisfied with Zhou Heng's strictness. In such a cold day, who would be willing to patrol all night without rest?

They hoped that someone would cause trouble for Zhou Heng so that they would not suffer again.

The night in Yingtian Prefecture was quiet with almost no pedestrians. Zhou Heng easily found Zhu Kai and others. When Zhou Heng saw Zhu Kai and his group of wise men, the expression on his face was as if frozen.

The second prince, Zhu Kai!

Zhou Heng thought of various possible outcomes in an instant, but he still followed his inner choice: "Come here, take him to jail and wait for your punishment!"

Zhou Heng’s stubbornness comes from his rigidity and inability to adapt.

He recognized Zhu Kai, and he also knew that if he caught Zhu Kai, he would be in big trouble, especially as the New Year was approaching, this would be like stirring up a hornet's nest!
Zhou Heng had never seen Zhu Kai, but he had heard descriptions of him.
On the streets of Yingtian Prefecture, I saw a young man who was as tall and strong as a bear. That must be Zhu Kai.

Judging from the current situation, this person must be Zhu Kai.

If Zhu Kai is not allowed to leave, it will cause huge trouble and may even alarm Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhou Heng felt that letting Zhu Kai go was against the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

You can't have your cake and eat it too, so you'd better sacrifice your life for justice!

Zhou Heng finally chose to uphold his own moral principles and put Zhu Kai in jail.

Hearing Zhou Heng's order, the constables and the soldiers of the patrol camp were shocked. Zhou Heng came to Yingtian Prefecture relatively late, but these constables and the soldiers of the patrol camp had basically stayed in their corresponding posts since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Kai often went to the streets to play, so the constables and the patrol camp were quite familiar with him.

The New Year is coming soon, and Zhou Heng wants to arrest Zhu Kai...

This caused too much trouble, and the constables and soldiers did not dare to watch Zhou Heng's fun.

This is Zhu Kai!

Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved second prince, what would be Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction if he knew that Zhu Kai was thrown into prison?
If you implicate yourself in this by mistake, then this excitement will be totally not worth watching.

Moreover, look at the people who were with Zhu Kai, the fifth prince Zhu Di, the children of the Duke of Wei, the children of the Duke of Song... so many children of the Duke's families were thrown into jail. Isn't this stirring up a hornet's nest?
What kind of New Year would that be? Just having to bear the wrath of the nobles would be enough to make them terrified.

Mao Xiang and Jiang Lin did not take it seriously when they saw Zhou Heng coming with the constables and the patrol camp. They were brothers who often met each other on the streets of Yingtian Prefecture. They saw each other every day, so why shouldn't they give each other some face?
However, when Zhou Heng said that he wanted to arrest Zhu Kai and his group of more than 20 people, Mao Xiang and Jiang Lin were obviously stunned. They did not believe that anyone in Yingtian Prefecture dared to arrest them.

There was no need for the two of them to ask the Jinyiwei's entourage to stop them, as people from the patrol camp took the initiative to go over and stop Zhou Heng.

"Master Zhou, these people cannot be arrested!"

The patrol team came forward to persuade Zhou Heng, "He is the second prince, and there is the fifth prince. These two are Master Xu, and they are the Zhang brothers who follow the second prince... They are not bad people, nor are they people who disturb the public order of Yingtian Prefecture. They just drank some wine and came home late. Let's send them home and forget about this matter."

"Yes, Master Zhou, how could they do bad things?"

Everyone persuaded Zhou Heng to give up his plan to arrest Zhu Kai and his group.

However, Zhou Heng had already made his decision: "The laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulate that people should not walk after curfew. Those who violate the laws will be arrested and those who resist will be executed! He is the prince of His Majesty, and the others are the family members who are the backbone of our Ming Dynasty. If they don't obey the law, how can we expect others to obey the law?"

The emperor is subject to the same punishment as common people when he breaks the law!
To Zhou Heng, this sentence was not a slogan, but a motto!

"Everyone, they violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so they should be punished according to the law, instead of ignoring the law just because of their status!"

Mao Xiang and Jiang Li understood that Zhou Heng had no intention of letting Zhu Kai go, nor did he intend to let go of the group of people who had gathered with Zhu Kai. (End of this chapter)
