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

These are all leftovers from Zhu Kai’s childhood toys, and he has no interest in them at all.

Of course, there were also Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang. Zhu Kai stuffed firecrackers into their clothes, scaring the two of them so much that they ran away.

They were both very depressed. Zhu Kai was married and was going to be a father, so why was he still bullying others like he did when he was a child? Shouldn't they have bullied their younger brother when they were not married?
Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang stayed in a relatively safe place, sitting on the ground and denouncing Zhu Kai's various misdeeds, and their tone changed as they spoke.

"Third brother, yesterday the second brother took the fifth kid out to play again. I heard that they went to Hongxiuzhao and didn't return to the palace until long after curfew."

Zhu Gang sipped his lips, full of sourness: "Fifth brother is still a little brat, how can he understand the benefits of Red Sleeves? He should have taken us two brothers with him."

Zhu Chong nodded: "I heard that when he came back, he beat up the chancellor Zhou Heng. Haha... It really made people happy."

After Zhou Heng became the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, he dealt with them severely.

"That's how we should deal with him. Let him see who is the king of Yingtian Prefecture!"

Zhu Gang thought that what Zhu Kai did was very satisfying, but the topic turned around and around and turned to Hong Xiuzhao: "Third brother, why don't we go out and have some fun too? We haven't been out for a year."

Young people are full of energy, but Zhu Gang doesn't want to be a monk forever.

Zhu Chong thought about it and agreed: "Okay, let's go together, but we have to take the Jinyiwei badge. This thing is useful. If we come back late, we can show the Jinyiwei badge. I'm sure Zhou Heng won't dare to do anything to us."

"Yeah, yeah, that's how it should be."

Zhu Gang nodded vigorously and gave Zhu Chong a thumbs up: "Third brother is still thinking about things comprehensively. Third brother, when are we going out?"

"Go after noon!"

"it is good!"

……

The next morning, Zhu Biao hurried to Fengxian Hall with an anxious look on his face. Zhu Kai had been opening blind boxes on a super ocean-going freighter until dawn last night. Now it was time for him to sleep when he was woken up by Xu Miaoyun, who said that Zhu Biao came to see him. Zhu Kai got up very slowly, feeling very uncomfortable.

If you have anything to say, just come in and tell me. As Xu Miaoyun and Feng Yuting's bellies grew bigger and bigger, Zhu Kai never slept in the same bed with them again.

But Zhu Biao refused to go in and kept pulling Zhu Kai outside to talk.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Zhu Kai yawned, his eyes half-closed. “I played all night last night and just went to bed this morning. I’m so sleepy.”

Zhu Biao felt helpless when he heard this.

What fun can you have in one night? It's late at night... and you're still letting me in?
What a big heart.

Zhu Biao didn't want to argue with Zhu Kai about whether to enter the palace. The key point was that what he wanted to talk to Zhu Kai about was not convenient to say in the palace.

Looking around and finding no ears around, Zhu Biao said helplessly: "Let me tell you something. Last night, my third and fourth brothers went to Hongxiuzhao and were caught by Zhou Heng, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. They are now in jail. Their mother doesn't know about this yet. She only knows that my third and fourth brothers didn't come back all night and didn't dare to look for their father, so they came to me."

what?
Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang were caught visiting a brothel?

And it was Zhou Heng who caught him?

Hearing this, Zhu Kai lost all his sleepiness: "What does Lao Meng do for a living? Something happened the day before yesterday and he is still being asked to patrol the streets? I think Lao Meng is getting more and more confused as an official!"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "What do you mean the day before yesterday? Didn't the incident happen to my third and fourth brothers yesterday?"

"Ah... well, I was a little confused because of my sleep, so I didn't hear clearly what Big Brother said just now, hehe."

Zhu Kai quickly made an excuse, and then said: "Now that I have heard clearly, brother, tell me what to do."

Zhu Biao didn't have time to worry about what was wrong with what Zhu Kai had just said. The most urgent task now was to rescue Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang, and preferably let them go home before Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it.

Moreover, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang were not married yet. If word spread that they visited brothels, who would marry their daughter to them?

"Brother Kai, you have to find a way to rescue them both."

Zhu Biao stated his purpose, and then urged: "And it must be done as soon as possible, before Dad knows about this, get the third and fourth brothers out first."

捞？
Zhu Kai shook his head: "If we can't get it, we might as well let Dad know. If we don't give them a good beating, how can they learn their lesson?"

These two bastards have walked into trouble, haven't they?
"You just like to watch the fun, don't you?"

Zhu Biao kicked Zhu Kai angrily, "It's already this time, do you still want them to get married? Go get them out, I'll go and calm our father down."

There were so many government affairs to deal with, and Zhu Biao had a way to keep Zhu Yuanzhang busy all day long.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll do it. I'll do it, okay?"

Although Zhu Kai wanted to watch the fun, could this matter... be hidden from Zhu Yuanzhang?

Zhu Biao still thought too highly of Old Zhu.

However, this is a matter for the future and has nothing to do with the present. He just needs to rescue the people.

How to save people?

How about beating Zhou Heng again and then taking Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang away from the cell?
……

Zhou Heng didn't expect that after letting Zhu Kai and Zhu Di escape the day before yesterday, he met Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang again yesterday. Zhou Heng arrested the two without saying a word.

The brothers Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang did not have Zhu Kai's reckless spirit. When they saw that taking out the Jinyiwei badge did not work, they became dispirited. Zhou Heng took them down with almost no effort, which somewhat dispelled the shadow of being knocked unconscious by Zhu Kai.

Zhou Heng wanted to interrogate them overnight yesterday, but Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang couldn't explain themselves clearly, so Zhou Heng had to give up. However, Zhou Heng was not idle. He wanted to know what made the princes violate the curfew and go out to play.

You won’t know if you don’t investigate, but you’ll be shocked if you investigate.

It turned out that these four princes went to the same place.

In this land of fireworks, an unmarried prince actually...even married princes go there!
Fortunately, the prince did not go, otherwise Zhou Heng would really feel that the Ming Dynasty was hopeless!
Zhou Heng's heart was filled with sadness. The Ming Dynasty had only been around for six years, and in these six years, the prince had become lawless and obsessed with pleasure.

If this continues, what future will the Ming Dynasty have?
Zhou Heng made up his mind to make Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang pay the price. He wanted to use this incident as a warning to the princes so that they would regulate their behavior!

Of course, Zhou Heng also knew that by doing so he would offend many people, including the emperor, but what would it matter if he offended them?
Although there are thousands of people, I will go!
Zhou Heng is ready to defend the truth with his own body!
However, when he arrived at the cell and prepared to interrogate Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang, he saw the person he least wanted to see.

That bear-like second prince.

At this time, Zhu Kai was going out to pick up Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang!
Seeing this scene, Zhou Heng was furious. He stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Stop!"

Zhu Kai stopped what he was doing, and Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang also stopped walking out. When they saw that the person coming was Zhou Heng, Zhu Gang immediately pointed at him and shouted, "Second brother, it's him! He's the one who arrested us!"

"Where is the prison guard?"

Zhou Heng shouted, but the jailer just stood there, not moving a muscle. What a joke, Zhu Kai and Zhou Heng... you can still tell who has a higher status, right?

Even the governor of Yingtian Prefecture who came with Zhou Heng was very upset at this moment.

Everything is fine, why are you following Zhou Heng?
Now is the Shura field. No one can predict what Zhu Kai will do in his rage.

This is the number one villain in Yingtian Prefecture!
Zhou Heng became even more sad and angry when he saw that no one paid any attention to him!
So what if they are princes?
The laws of the Ming Dynasty were set by the emperor, and even if they were princes, they had to obey them!

"You receive salaries from the Ming Dynasty, but you want to do things that violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty? What is the point of the Ming Dynasty supporting you?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhou Heng took a step forward, drew out the prisoner's knife, and blocked Zhu Kai, Zhu Chong, and Zhu Gang: "Your Highness, the second prince, the two of them violated the curfew order and must accept the corresponding punishment before they can leave."

Of course, there's also you, Zhu Kai!
Zhou Heng failed to catch Zhu Kai, so he admitted defeat, but he would never let Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang go.

"punish?"

Zhu Kai smiled, "I want to take him away, what can you do?"

Zhou Heng stiffened his neck and said, "Unless you step over my dead body."

Today, even if he died, he would not allow Zhu Kai to take the person away.

"……What's wrong with you?"

Zhu Kai was helpless against a stubborn person like Zhou Heng. If he dealt with him, it would have a bad influence. If he didn't deal with him, he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. "How about I leave them here and let my dad take them away?"

"..."

Before Zhou Heng could say anything, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang's faces turned pale with fright.

Let Zhu Yuanzhang come?
I’m afraid Zhu Yuanzhang would have broken their legs at that time?
"Humph!"

Zhou Heng sneered, then said: "I believe that His Majesty will never do such a thing! He will definitely uphold the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Fuck your uncle's Ming Dynasty laws!"

Seeing Zhou Heng talking about the law all the time, Zhu Kai got angry and said, "I took the man away, what can you do? Mao Xiang and Jiang Li, these bastards are obstructing the Jinyiwei from handling the case. Follow the Jinyiwei's procedures!"

Didn't you talk to me about the law?
Row!
Today I will talk to you about the law!

"Yes!"

Mao Xiang and Jiang Li immediately stepped forward to arrest the man. At this moment, Meng Duan rushed in from outside and shouted loudly before he arrived: "Second Prince, Second Prince, there must be a misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding!"

Meng Duan was panicked. He regretted it very much now. He had already learned the lesson from the day before, so why did he still let Zhou Heng patrol the streets?

He did not cause trouble for Zhu Kai, but instead arrested Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang.

Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng, do you have any grudge against the Zhu family?

Why are you always keeping an eye on the Zhu family?

As soon as Meng Duan arrived at Yingtian Prefecture in the morning, he heard the news that Zhou Heng had captured another prince. He almost fainted. He did not even enter the door of Yingtian Prefecture and immediately ran to the cell.

Locking the prince in a cell for a night is already enough to put his head in danger. If he continues to be punished, will he still be able to keep his official hat?

After arriving at the cell, Meng Duan saw Zhu Kai and Zhou Heng fighting again, and they were about to take Zhou Heng down. Meng Duan quickly ran over and stopped Zhu Kai: "Second Prince, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding... You can take the King of Jin and the King of Qin away now."

Meng Duan is a very interesting and capable person, and he understands the ways of the world very well. He is very much liked by Zhu Kai. Now that he is helping Zhou Heng to plead for mercy, Zhu Kai is willing to give him some face.

"Okay, I'll give you face."

Zhu Kai looked at Meng Duan and pointed to the cell: "Well, let him stay in the cell. I don't want to see him on the streets of Yingtianfu before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Second Prince, you are truly... magnanimous. I, I will learn from you in the future."

Meng Duan was so grateful that he almost cried. This Second Prince was very easy to talk to. As long as he didn't touch his sore spot, everything seemed to be easy to discuss.

Zhou Heng found the conversation between Zhu Kai and Meng Duan very ridiculous.

Those who violate the Ming Dynasty laws must walk out of the cell, while those who uphold the Ming Dynasty laws have to spend the New Year in the cell. With such a confusing result, his immediate superior actually has to thank him... It's ridiculous!
How could such a flatterer like Meng Duan be the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture?

How could Zhu Kai, a man who confuses right and wrong, be worthy of being the prince of the Ming Dynasty?
The Ming Dynasty, which overthrew the Mongol rule, should not be like this. They should establish their mission for the people and bring peace to the world for all generations!

"no!"

Zhou Heng still blocked the way, "No one is allowed to leave! Anyone who violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty and does not repent, but commits crimes upon crimes, can be executed immediately!"

Zhou Heng uttered these words almost through gritted teeth, for he knew that after today, he would not live anymore.

However, I have to face people like Zhu Kai and Meng Duan all day long. Life is worse than death!
"Stupid!"

Mao Xiang cursed, then unsheathed his Yanling knife, and the back of the knife knocked the knife out of Zhou Heng's hand. Jiang Li next to him acted in perfect harmony, and the scabbard hit Zhou Heng's knee joint directly, forcing Zhou Heng to kneel on the ground.

Zhou Heng wanted to resist, but the other two Jinyiwei had already pressed down on his shoulders, and the knife in Mao Xiang's hand was already against his neck.

"Sabi!"

Zhu Kai looked at Zhou Heng who was kneeling on the ground and still refused to bow his head. After cursing, he said to Meng Duan beside him: "Old Meng, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but keeping such a person around you won't cause trouble for yourself. He can kill you and even more people."

"This one……"

How could Meng Duan not know this? But he did not have the final say on personnel arrangements in Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhu Kai did not embarrass Meng Duan: "Forget it, let him continue to stay in Yingtian Prefecture. With you taking care of him, he won't die without knowing how he died."

"Brother Kai is right."

Meng Duan's tone was very sincere. "I never thought that you, Brother Kai, are so magnanimous. Zhou Heng is lucky to have met you. Today, you taught me a lot. In the future, I will definitely follow your example and work for the benefit of the people of Yingtian Prefecture."

The jailers and prison guards nearby also flattered Zhu Kai, which made Zhu Kai feel very comfortable. He waved his hand and took Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang away: "Old Meng, brothers, go to Hongxiuzhao tonight. I will treat you brothers to a drink!"

When everyone heard about drinking flower wine, their eyes lit up and they shouted in unison: "Thank you, Master Kai!"

Walking out of the cell, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang were as wilted as eggplants hit by frost.

He was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would find out while he was in prison. Now that he was going back to the palace, he was even more afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would find out.

Zhu Kai looked at the two brothers and sighed: "You two, why don't you do anything else but drink and have sex? Why don't you learn from me? Worry about the country and the people, be happy before the world is happy, and worry about the world after worrying about yourself..."

Hearing the poem Zhu Kai recited, Zhu Chong could not help but remind him: "Second brother, you should worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and be happy after the world is happy." (End of this chapter)
