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

Chapter 67: Zhu Yuanzhang's Secret Visit! The Ming Dynasty version of the Dragon King?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang could not vent his anger at this time, because before Tang He came, he had already told him that the person coming here was not the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, but his little brother Zhu Chongba from Fengyang. Even if he wanted to clean up the Qinhuai River, he could not do it today.

Tang He put his hands behind his back and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Sir, you may not know much about this. If you were to ask which girl is the best along the Qinhuai River, it would definitely be Hong Xiu Zhao. I heard that the girl named Tian Xian Er is the most beautiful girl in the Qinhuai River."

As he spoke, Tang He nudged Xu Da with his shoulder: "Old Xu, do you know?"

"Where do I know where to go?"

Xu Da spread his hands, indicating that he knew nothing about the situation of the Qinhuai River.

"Stop pretending!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also gave up his status as emperor at this time, just chatting and playing with two old friends. He looked at Xu Da with disdain and said: "Others don't understand you, but Lao Tang and I don't understand you?"

"Correct!"

Tang He cheered on the side, "What our master said was that it was Old Xu who persuaded us to peek at the widow bathing. He refused to leave after being discovered. If we hadn't carried him away, he would have been beaten to death by sticks."

"Can your small body carry him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang even started to dislike Tang He, "We were the ones who carried him away!"

"No, that's not the case!"

Xu Da immediately protested his injustice, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He would not allow him to explain.
Yes and no.

In any case, the blame must be on Xu Da.

Xu Da was so angry that he would not have followed them out if he had known. Xu Da was an honest man and he could argue and defend himself, but facing Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He who joined hands to confuse right and wrong, Xu Da could not explain himself even if he had a hundred mouths.

Xu Da was very upset about this: "If I had known, I would not have come out with you guys. What is this? It's clearly not the case, but you guys are saying it like that."

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He laughed heartlessly and did not give up teasing Xu Da.

Although Guo Xing was also a fellow villager of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was much younger. When Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He and Xu Da were slaughtering cattle, Guo Xing was the younger brother who was scared and cried.

The four of them entered Hong Xiu Zhao chatting and laughing. The pimp of Hong Xiu Zhao was even showing off to the madam with a smile on his face: "Today, our business is really good, hehe... If it continues like this, there will be no other restaurants along the Qinhuai River."

The madam was very proud when she heard what the pimp said.

This is all due to her efforts in training the girls.

"That's because of the girls from our Hongxiuzhao. They have captured the souls of the nobles in Yingtian Prefecture."

"We teach the servants to serve our guests, which is also a great achievement, haha."

Just as they were talking, Zhu Yuanzhang and four others came in, talking and laughing. Gui Gong took a look and found that these four people were dressed very simply, but their temperaments were very noble, as if they had been superior to others for a long time.

The pimps did not distinguish people by their clothes. Those who were dressed luxuriously, covered in silk, gold rings, and jade rings were of the lower class.

Yingtian Prefecture is located at the feet of the emperor. All those dignitaries who want to be summoned by Hongxiu are extremely cautious.

Being high-profile does not necessarily mean being noble. Only those who are low-key are capable people.

"The four masters are here?"

The old man came forward and said very flatteringly: "My four masters, there is a very good private room upstairs, which can meet all your needs. It is very elegant to play musical instruments, sing, play chess, calligraphy and painting."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da both couldn't stand this kind of flattering villain, so they turned their heads away and pretended not to see him. Guo Xing didn't speak easily and stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang like a bodyguard.

Tang He went forward to negotiate: "Take us to the private room upstairs and call the best girl here for us. We have money. If you are perfunctory to us, just smash this red sleeves!"

"Okay, sir!"

The old man asked the servant to take the four people upstairs, and he ran to the side to call the girl.

When Zhu Yuanzhang went upstairs, he heard the voices of Zhu Di, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang. Zhu Di was still shouting loudly and arrogantly: "Is it a big deal? I'm asking you, is it a big deal?"

Lao Wu?

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark!
He was 100% sure that Zhu Di came to Hongxiu Zhao because he was brought by Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang.

Zhu Di was at an age where even dogs disliked him. It was the time for him to have fun, so how could he possibly need the presence of a red-sleeved woman?
"This silly boy, he came to Hongxiu Zhao and actually played dice here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very depressed and thought: "If Kai'er were here, it would be great. He would definitely tell Zhu Di that women are more fun than dice."

such a pity……

However, Zhu Yuanzhang remained calm and was not prepared to expose Zhu Di, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang immediately. The main reason was that the timing was not right. After all, this was Hongxiuzhao. If a father and son really came face to face, wouldn't it become a joke of the Ming Dynasty if it got out?

Tang He had not been in Yingtian Prefecture all the time, so he didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's sons very well. However, Xu Da, who was standing next to him, recognized Zhu Di's voice and his face darkened.

Zhu Di is Zhu Kai's follower. If Zhu Di comes, then Zhu Kai will be...

This little bastard!
After marrying my daughter, you still go out hunting for food?

At this moment, Xu Da's face was even darker than when he was teased by Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He just now.

Zhu Yuanzhang could see Xu Da's worry and couldn't help but whispered, "Don't worry, those were the fifth, third and fourth brothers just now. I don't know how this little bastard got mixed up with the third and fourth brothers. When we return to the palace, we will definitely deal with them."

Then, he reassured Xu Da: "Don't you know our Kai'er? He is an honest man."

"Ah……"

Xu Da obviously didn't believe what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

If you, Zhu Yuanzhang, say that Zhu Biao is honest, then Xu Da would believe it.

If you say that Zhu Kai is also an honest man... Whether Zhu Kai is an honest man or not, don't you, Zhu Yuanzhang, know it?

Fortunately, there is no Zhu Kai here.

"Ah? This...this..."

Tang He never expected that when he took Zhu Yuanzhang out to play, he would actually meet Zhu Yuanzhang's son.

It’s a small world, isn’t it?
Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turned red with embarrassment.

Even if he was His Majesty, it was still difficult for him to cope with the scene of the father and son appearing in Hongxiuzhao at the same time.

"Ah~haha...it's okay, the kids are still young and always curious, just let them have fun."

Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed at his sons: "You two, tell me... these little bastards, when they arrived at Hongxiuzhao, they were actually playing dice, hehe... you say, with these little bastards, why should we be worried about them?"

"That's what I said."

Tang He and Xu Da could not argue with Zhu Yuanzhang on this matter. If they were wrong in their argument, the blame would fall on themselves.

Whatever Zhu Yuanzhang said was what it was and he would never refute it.

When they got to the private room, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have forgotten what had just happened. He chatted and laughed with Tang He and Xu Da, as if he was not the one who was embarrassed just now.

Soon, the first group of young ladies walked into the private room, and Tang He was filled with disgust when he saw them.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Change a batch!"

"Ok?"

The servant was a little confused. What happened today?
Why are there so many picky guests? Are they also worldly-wise?
However, these four old masters are not as generous as those young masters in giving money.

The silver beans were scattered like sugar beans, so generous.

The servant thought about it, but he didn't hesitate to agree.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I will give you a new batch right away."

"No need to bother."

Tang He waved his hand and said to the servant, "Bring us your courtesan Tian Xian'er."

"what?"

Fairy?
Hearing Tang He's words, the servant suddenly felt embarrassed:

This... Master, our courtesan may not be able to be with you today."

"What's the inconvenience?"

Tang He widened his eyes!
He has been bragging about the fairy all the way here, and now that I'm here, you won't let me order?
"Are you afraid that I won't give you money or what? Am I short of money?"

"Old Tang, don't force me."

Xu Da was trying to mediate, saying, "Girls always have a few days when things are not convenient."

"What's inconvenient? Tian Xian'er is selling her art but not her body, can we still eat her?"

Tang He had already found out the market situation of Hong Xiu Zhao, and said to the servant without any courtesy: "Call the people over to me, otherwise... I will smash your store!"

"This……"

The servant was quite firm and said, "Sir, we have our own rules for Red Sleeves. First come first served. And... that young master was very generous and directly booked Tianxian'er for a day. We can't break the rules."

"Bullshit rules!"

Tang He slammed the table, widened his eyes and shouted at the servant: "How much did that guy bid? I'll double it!"

"This……"

Although the servant was blinded by money, he still had some moral bottom line. He gritted his teeth and insisted, "Master, I'm really sorry, the rules of Hongxiu Zhao cannot be broken! Otherwise, I will arrange for you to have the four girls of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum?"

Tang He was rejected by a servant and lost face. He could only walk on in darkness. He widened his eyes and cursed: "I want Tianxianer..."

"Okay, Old Tang! He's just a worker, why are you making things difficult for him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was easy to talk to. He had many concubines in his harem, who were basically tools for giving birth to children. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have high requirements for women:

"I think the four girls, Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, are good. Let them come."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and drove the servant away. Then he said to Tang He, "After so many years, why hasn't your temper changed? You have to get what you want. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have killed the cow and ran away."

Tang He was unhappy when he heard this. It was obviously you, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was craving for meat, that killed the cow. What does it have to do with me, Tang He?
When Xu Da heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he immediately realized that he had an opportunity: "That's right, you only care about face. If we hadn't gone to the mountains to look for you, you would have starved to death in the mountains and not been brought out."

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense..."

It was clearly your fault back then, why are you putting the blame on me?
As he was talking, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said to Guo Xing: "Guo Xing, send someone to go outside and see who has taken possession of the girl named Tianxianer."

Tang He was very concerned about his reputation, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also a person who cared about his reputation. He was the most powerful in Yingtian Prefecture, and he always had the final say. Except for the second oldest son in the family and his sister Ma, who else dared to oppose him?
In Yingtian Prefecture, such a powerful existence is not allowed.

Even though he had no need for that fairy, Zhu Yuanzhang would not allow anyone else to take her.

When Tang He heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he was immediately shocked: "Master, we agreed that we are just out for fun today, not..."

"We know that today the brothers are just out for fun, not politics."

Zhu Yuanzhang signaled Tang He to calm down, and then explained: "I'm out for fun today. I won't cause any trouble, but you have to let me know who that person is."

When he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was already unquestionable, and he would not allow anyone to refute him at this time.

Even if these two people are his old brothers, it won’t work.

After hearing this, Tang He stopped trying to persuade him.

There is no way to persuade him. It is impossible to persuade him.

After making arrangements for Guo Xing, Zhu Yuanzhang began to chat with Tang He and Xu Da about family matters: "Among my sons, only the second one is most like me. He has a reckless temper and a character that dares to make trouble. I just think he can cause trouble, so I let him be the head of the family..."

Which of Xu Da and Tang He didn't know that Zhu Kai was Zhu's pride?
Xu Da was also very proud because he had his own son-in-law.

The son-in-law is very capable, and his father-in-law is also proud of him.

Guo Xing went out to help Zhu Yuanzhang investigate who had robbed "Tianxian'er". When he learned that several strong men from the Yiluansi appeared around the room where Tianxian'er was.

It is not surprising that there are strong men from the Yiluansi.

After all, the three princes Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di were still around, and Zhu Yuanzhang had put a lot of thought into his sons.

However, Li Shi then revealed a piece of information that immediately made Guo Xing alert.

Those strong men seemed to be protecting Zhu Kai.

The one beside the second prince?

When Guo Xing heard this, he was immediately shocked.

Damn it! What would Zhu Yuanzhang’s attitude be if he knew that the person more powerful than him in Yingtian Prefecture was his second son?

"That guy Mao Xiang and Jiang Li!"

It must be the two of them who led the Second Prince astray!

Guo Xing was so angry that his teeth itched. He asked you to protect the second prince. Is this how you protect him?

Isn't this leading Zhu Kai into trouble?
Moreover, you didn't bring it earlier or later, but had to arrive just when Zhu Yuanzhang came to make his move. Aren't you walking into a trap?
Guo Xing went over to see... Mao Xiang and Jiang Lin had already run to the small room next door to eat people, leaving Zhu Kai alone, listening to Tian Xian'er playing various instruments and singing, shaking his head from time to time. There were also four women in thin clothes next to him, massaging Zhu Kai's shoulders and feeding him water and fruit.

This... is too comfortable, right?
Guo Xing couldn't help but give the second prince a thumbs up: The second prince really knows how to enjoy himself. He needs five people to serve him. I don't know what others think, but Guo Xing wouldn't dare to do that.

Ahem, what am I thinking about here?

Guo Xing quickly slapped his head, thinking that his idea was dangerous. Now Guo Xing was in a dilemma.

In this situation, should he tell Zhu Yuanzhang or not?

like……

Whether you say it or not, you may be the one who suffers in the end.

Thinking of this, Guo Xing began to feel embarrassed and started to regret... Why did he follow Zhu Yuanzhang out?

After following Zhu Yuanzhang, he ended up with such an assignment.

Moreover, Zhu Kai's future father-in-law Xu Da is still alive. If he knew that his future son-in-law was having an affair with a girl, wouldn't his blood pressure skyrocket?
How to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang?
There are Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang inside. No matter who they are, when they get angry, Zhu Kai can't bear the pressure.

? ?
It's over!

Guo Xing just wanted to leave and never respond to Hong Xiu's call again.

Guo Xing, who couldn't think of any solution and wanted to leave, suddenly felt that Alexander and several people in the room couldn't wait any longer, so they stood at the door and called out, "Xiao Xingzi, come back."

Guo Xing: Brother, Xiao Xingzi doesn’t want to go over there. It’s for your sake!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was also in the private room, so it was even more impossible for him not to go back.

Back in the private room, Zhu Yuanzhang was happily chatting with Tang He and Xu Da. They talked about the past and seemed to have endless stories to tell.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Guo Xing coming back, he did not ask, but Xu Da was quite curious:

"Xiao Xingzi, who is the person who robbed our eldest brother Tian Xian'er? Let me learn something new."

In Yingtian Prefecture, Xu Da had never seen anyone more important than Zhu Yuanzhang, himself, and Duke Xin combined.

Tang He was also very curious, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang.

Guo Xing froze his smile on the surface and said with a laugh: "No one, it's just Li Qi, the son of Li Shanchang, the Duke of Korea, and Li You, the son of his younger brother."

"Oh, that's okay." Xu Da and Tang He both knew about the conflict between Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang, and it was an irreconcilable one.

Xu Da and Tang He were not surprised by the name Guo Xing mentioned, but the key point was... Zhu Yuanzhang's face fell.

"Li Qi and Li You, these two bastards, are not good people!"

Tang He was still cursing, "On the way here, I heard from the people on the roadside that these two little bastards are doing all kinds of evil things. They even threatened the people to take away their land. They also said that they would report this to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to cut the people into pieces. How could such a person do such a thing?"

Xu Da also sighed beside him:

"Mr. Li governs the country well, but he fails to manage his son well. Sigh... Even a saint like Mr. Li can make mistakes sometimes."

Only Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing, and his face darkened.

He knew where Li Qi and Li You were.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang have been playing with Li Qi and Li You these days and are almost inseparable.

It doesn't make sense that while Zhu Chong and his two brothers were playing dice, Li Qi and Li You ran over to play Tianxianer.

It’s definitely not Li Qi and Li You.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much at this time, and slapped the table directly: "Guo Xing, you dare to lie to me?"

"..."

Guo Xing really didn't know what to say.

How can I say this?

If he said he had deceived Zhu Yuanzhang, then he would have to betray Zhu Kai. Then Zhu Yuanzhang would be embarrassed. What a fellow...

These few grown-up sons are all in the Red Sleeves Movement.

Saying that I didn't lie to Zhu Yuanzhang...

Not to mention, when Zhu Yuanzhang found out the truth, Guo Xing could not escape the charge of deceiving the emperor.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Xing blinked hard, as if telling Zhu Yuanzhang: Your Majesty, please don't ask anymore to avoid embarrassment.

"What are you blinking for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't buy it and shouted at Guo Xing: "Just tell me the name!"

"..."

This is what you said!

Guo Xing took a deep breath, but decided to save some face for Zhu Yuanzhang. He stood up and walked to Zhu Yuanzhang, wanting to tell Zhu Yuanzhang by his ear.

Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table again and said to Guo Xing, "Don't put your ears close to me. There are no outsiders here. Tell me, who is that person?"

"hiss……"

Old Zhu, Old Zhu, it’s not that I don’t give you face, it’s you who don’t want this face!
Guo Xing took a breath, and then said beside Zhu Yuanzhang: "Master, it's the second young master."

"……who?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's head was buzzing at this time, and he could hardly believe his ears.

Who?
Zhu Kai?

Why is that boy here too?
Almost at the same time as he realized that something was wrong, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Xu Da!

As expected... Second brat! You really embarrassed me!

Xu Da's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked extremely ugly.

His own son-in-law also came to him to beg him, and Xu Da began to feel sorry for his eldest daughter.

When asked to get married, the boy refused on the grounds that he was underage.

Bullshit! That guy is not a good guy. He has food at home, but he insists on hunting for it!

The same character as his father!
Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

Didn’t you say that Zhu Kai is most like you?
No wonder you married so many women... Haha, you even came to Hongxiu to ask for her.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand Xu Da's gaze and stood up angrily:
"Let's go find that bastard! If he really does anything to let our daughter-in-law down, I'll break his legs!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget Xu Da:
"Old Xu, come with me! We'll each take one of his legs."

Xu Da stood up silently, holding the bench in his hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal was in line with his ideas.

Looking at Xu Da who expressed his anger in silence, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows twitched unconsciously. This old man, he wouldn't really want to beat our son, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Guo Xing fiercely.

Guo Xing pretended he knew nothing and turned his head away.

At this time, Guo Xing felt very aggrieved. I obviously didn't want to say it, but you forced me to say it. What could I do?
Now it’s over, there’s no way to end it!
"Master, not really, not really!"

Tang He quickly stood up and took Xu Da's hand: "Old Xu, put it down! Put it down!"

There is no doubt that Tang He is the most anxious now.

He brought Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and Guo Xing to the Qinhuai River with good intentions to experience the customs and culture of Yingtian Prefecture. Now, Zhu Yuanzhang's sons are all here.

Oh, Zhu Biao is not here.

Zhu Biao went to Huguang. If Zhu Biao was still there...

Tang He couldn't imagine how beautiful the scene was at that time.

Tang He didn't dare to think any further and hurriedly tried to pull the bench out of Xu Da's hand.

Although Zhu Kai is your son-in-law, he is the emperor's son. Do you still think Zhu Chongba is the naughty Zhu Chongba of the past?

However, Xu Da was obviously furious, how could he still care about this?
"Old Xu, that's the Second Young Master, my son!"

Tang He quickly calmed Xu Da down, "How could our master let you down? Let it go, let it go quickly!"

After much persuasion, Xu Da finally let go of his hand for the sake of Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally felt relieved, and then he said with an angry look:

"No need to persuade anyone, just follow me! I'm going to break the legs of that little bastard today."

As he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to go out. Coincidentally, at this moment, a servant and four girls, namely, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, were walking towards Zhu Yuanzhang's private room holding musical instruments.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and the four masters inside walking out of the private room with angry faces, the servant was startled and thought that he was not serving them well. He hurried forward to explain: "Master, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. These four girls need to bathe and wash their makeup before they can serve you well, right?"

"We don't need you to serve us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed the servant and pushed him directly into the private room:
"Xiao Xingzi, have everyone outside driven back into the house. No one is allowed to come out!"

"Yes!"

Guo Xing waved his hand!

The strong men from the Yiluansi and the Royal Guards' Mansion who were hiding in various places came out from their respective places and guarded the entire floor tightly.

"Catch those little brats too!"

Zhu Yuanzhang has not forgotten Zhu Di, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang, and will deal with them all today.

"Yes!"

……

In Zhu Kai's room, Mao Xiang and Jiang Lin had already felt comfortable. They were now sitting upright and having their shoulders massaged.

Zhu Kai was undoubtedly the most comfortable, with Tian Xian'er as his pillow and four women in increasingly thin clothes serving him.

Tea and fruit were served, and two women massaged his feet.

Zhu Kai was happy, so he stuffed the silver beans into other people's arms. The courtesans cried out "this young master is so bad", which made Mao Xiang and Jiang Lin's blood boil again.

When it comes to playing... the second prince is the one who knows how to play.

It was clearly his first time here, but he was so familiar with him that the women he was trying to attract wanted to pay him back.

How did you learn this?
Is it hereditary?
It is said that when His Majesty was still a soldier, Empress Ma fell in love with him at first sight...

Before Mao Xiang and Jiang Li could think of going downstairs, the closed door was kicked open. Mao Xiang and Jiang Li stood up immediately, with two short blades in their hands.

Those strong men outside are just trash. They can't even get in...

Zhu Yuanzhang was standing at the door with a dark face.

Mao Xiang and Jiang Li were lieutenants of the Yiluansi. They had both served as Zhu Yuanzhang's guards and were quite familiar with him.

Why are they here?
Mao Xiang and Jiang Li's legs went weak and they immediately knelt on the ground.

Ah, this...

Zhu Kai was feeling comfortable when he suddenly saw the door kicked open and became very angry.

In Yingtian Prefecture, you dare to kick my door... uh, Dad?

Zhu Kai was so frightened that his whole body shuddered and he stood up from the arms of the women as if he had been electrocuted.

"Dad? Why are you here?"

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually came to visit Hongxiuzhao?

Zhu Kai was furious. He pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and said angrily, "How dare you come to a place like this to fool around? Are you worthy of my mother? Do you think I should go back, no... my father-in-law?"

Zhu Kai was just trying to turn the tables and use Ma Xiuying to suppress Zhu Yuanzhang.

But before he could finish his words, he saw another person named Xu Da, who appeared at the door and looked at him unkindly.

Tang He also appeared, looking at Zhu Kai with an apologetic look on his face.

Second boy, it is our Tang He who is sorry for you, for letting you and your son meet at Hongxiuzhao.

It’s over…

There is no reason at all.

Zhu Kai lowered his head dejectedly and honestly admitted his mistake:
"Dad, I was wrong. It was me who wanted to bring Ergou and Sangou here. It has nothing to do with them. Please punish me."

And Tianxian'er, the top girl with red sleeves who followed Zhu Kai, and the four girls who were good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, also realized that something was wrong when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, at the door.

This interesting guest was caught by his father. Wouldn't he be beaten up?

Moreover, the young master's father-in-law was also with him...

"Master, I am a fairy."

Tian Xian'er spoke first and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Young Master didn't do anything. He just ate some fruit. There's nothing else. It will never harm your innocence."

"Yes, sir. The young master did nothing."

The four girls who were good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting also knelt on the ground and pleaded for Zhu Kai.

Xu Da's face became even darker!

They have only known each other for a short time, and they dare to plead with Zhu Yuanzhang on behalf of Zhu Kai?

He now regretted putting the chair down.

As for Mao Xiang and Jiang Li, the two guys dared not say anything and just knelt on the ground obediently.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the room from outside and kicked Mao Xiang and Jiang Lin on the ground: "You two bastards, is this how you protect the young master?"

And let Zhu Kai protect you?

You bastard, you're not even as good as a woman!
When Zhu Kai saw Zhu Yuanzhang approaching, he subconsciously said:

"Dad, I report it! I report it! My third, fourth, and fifth brothers are all here. I came to Hongxiuzhao to track them down. My legs were so tired from tracking them all the way that I didn't even have a sip of water. So I asked these young ladies to bring me some fruit... Really, Dad! Please believe me."

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!
Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, the time has come to test you.

"..."

Tianxianer and the four girls, Qin, Qi, Shuhua, etc., were a little unable to keep up with Zhu Kai's ideas.

And I also have a certain understanding of Zhu Kai's family background, and he mentioned the fifth brother right away... How many children are there in his family?
Zhu Kai said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Dad, you don't know, those three little bastards, they ran out to play at such a young age, and actually gambled in Hongxiuzhao, is this something that people can do? As an older brother, I have to lead my younger brothers onto the right path..."

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Zhu Kai without saying a word.

Editor!
You keep on making it up!

If I believe a word you say, I lose!

Today, Zhu Kai will definitely be beaten, he has to be beaten.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also remembered several points that Zhu Kai mentioned. His third, fourth and fifth sons were all young and knew nothing, so he had to teach them a lesson.

Come to Hongxiuzhao to play dice and gamble...

These three little bastards have completely disgraced him.

How could Zhu Kai not know that he was going to be beaten?
But... let Zhu Yuanzhang beat Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di first, and then when he beats me, his strength will be less, right?

Yes, that's how it should be.

"Get off!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Kai fiercely, and Zhu Kai immediately stood aside tactfully.

Not long after, Guo Xing came over with Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di, three dejected brothers. Li Qi and Li You did not run away either, they all lowered their heads dejectedly.

They also didn't expect that they would be discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang when they came to such a secluded place like Hongxiuzhao.

How could he, the emperor, come to such a place?

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair, patting the armrests of the chair lightly with his hands.

My dear eldest son, my dear eldest son!

I, Zhu Yuanzhang, was born a commoner in Huaixi, but I gave birth to these shameless little beasts!
Zhu Kai is fine, he is still a normal person, the key is those three... In a place like Hongxiuzhao where there are so many beautiful women, they are actually playing dice.

Is this something a normal person can do?
"walk home!"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out first without saying a word.

Xu Da glanced at Zhu Kai coldly, then followed Zhu Yuanzhang away.

Tang He smiled awkwardly at Zhu Kai.

I'm sorry, boy. I'll come and have a drink with you later.

Guo Xing stayed behind, and he also wanted to force Zhu Kai, Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di to return to the palace.

"Uncle, I came here on my own initiative. It has nothing to do with Mao Xiang and Jiang Li. You can't make things difficult for them!"

Zhu Kai added, "The five girls inside just begged for mercy in front of me. You have to find a way to protect them."

These people are mine, you must protect them.

With outsiders present, Guo Xing could not address the Second Prince directly, and could only say cryptically: "Second Young Master, you should think about yourself. It will be difficult for you to pass the test of the Lord."

"That's my business."

Zhu Kai did not give Guo Xing a chance to refuse, "What I want to do has nothing to do with other people."

"Got it. I'll get it done."

Guo Xing glanced at Mao Xiang and Jiang Li and said, "However, they should be beaten when necessary, Second Young Master - you can't break the rules."

"Ah."

Zhu Kai patted Guo Xing on the shoulder, then walked up to his three brothers, slapped each of them on the head, and said, "It's all your fault, you three brats. If you hadn't run to Hongxiuzhao, why would we be here? You guys are the same. Why do you have to play dice at Hongxiuzhao when you can go anywhere else?"

Now it's all your fault.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang did not believe what Zhu Kai said. However, after hearing it, Zhu Di said, "Don't worry, brother. When you get home, tell dad that the responsibility is mine. It has nothing to do with others, and I will not implicate you, brother!"

These days, Zhu Di has been feeling guilty towards Zhu Kai because of Zhu Su's affairs!

Now that he has finally seized the opportunity to apologize, how could Zhu Di implicate Zhu Kai again?
Zhu Kai knew Zhu Di's character. Since he said so, the responsibility definitely did not lie with him.

"Brothers!"

Zhu Kai patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said, "When you get better, I'll take you to see the world. You've only known how to play dice when you came to Hong Xiu Zhao. You really can't grow up!"

After saying that, Zhu Kai left first. As for Li Qi and Li You, he pretended not to see them.

These two people can't beat Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang.

Li Qi and Li You were still worried that Zhu Kai would cause trouble for them.

Who knew that he simply ignored them, which undoubtedly made the two of them even more angry.

We brought your brother to a place like Hong Xiu Zhao, how could you not beat us?

Do you look down on people so much?
Guo Xing looked at Zhu Chong and the others with a fake smile and said, "Come on, gentlemen, come back with us."

Li Qi and Li You were angry that Zhu Kai ignored them.

Hearing Guo Xing's words, he couldn't help but shrink his neck: "We, are we going too?"

"This, isn't this not good?"

Li Qi said to Guo Xing, "I am teaching them a lesson. It has nothing to do with us."

"It doesn't matter?"

Guo Xing laughed and said, "Whether it matters or not, your words don't count. Let's go!"

"..."

It’s over. I’ll get beaten this time too.

After he left, Tianxian'er and the four girls named Qin, Qi, Shu and Hua in Zhu Kai's room all expressed their concern for Zhu Kai.

He won’t be beaten to death, right?
"Sisters, the second young master is a righteous man." Tian Xian'er recalled what Zhu Kai said, "Before he left, he was still concerned about us. With this young master around, we don't have to worry about being bullied."

The four girls, Qin, Qi, Shu and Hua, agreed deeply.

"It's a pity... we were born in a place like this, we can't serve day and night for wages."

"Is it a pity?"

Tian Xian'er also felt it was a pity, but she was more open-minded: "But if it weren't here, we wouldn't be able to see the Master."

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang not only beat the three brothers Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di, but also took care of Li Qi and Li You.

Teach your son on behalf of your father!

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to beat his own children. He might be angry, but they were his own flesh and blood, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang was not so polite to Li Qi and Li You. He knocked them out and then asked Guo Xing to hand them over to Li Shanchang.

It’s all because of these two little bastards that my child was ruined.

After teaching five people a lesson, Zhu Yuanzhang was exhausted. Thinking of Zhu Kai... forget it, let the child's mother take care of it.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of caring about Zhu Kai. He knew that with Zhu Kai's personality, it would be useless to beat him no matter how much. He usually beat his son just because he was itching to do so. He had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well beat his son to help him liven up the mood.

Today Zhu Yuanzhang beat five people, two of whom were his own. He enjoyed beating them so much that why would he care about Zhu Kai?
That kid has thick skin and it hurts my hand when I hit him.

……

Zhu Kai didn't expect that when he returned to the palace, he would be directly arranged to live in Kunning Palace.

Although he usually made Zhu Yuanzhang angry, he didn't dare to say a word when facing Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying had not received the news from Zhu Yuanzhang, so when she saw Zhu Kai's dejected look, she was still confused: "Kai'er, what's wrong? Did you make your father angry again?"

"No."

Zhu Kai seemed very aggrieved and said to Ma Xiuying:
"It's obviously Dad...he, he...never mind, I won't say anything."

After saying that, Zhu Kai knelt down in front of Ma Xiuying and said to her, "Mother, I am unfilial. I went to Hongxiuzhao today. Please punish me."

After Zhu Kai finished speaking, he immediately lay down and accepted the beating and punishment.

Red sleeve gesture?
When Ma Xiuying heard the name, she knew it was not a good place and her face suddenly fell.

Thinking about what Zhu Kai had just said, Ma Xiuying's face became even uglier.

He skillfully pulled out a wooden stick from the corner of the table, walked up to Zhu Kai who was lying on the ground and hit him with the stick, saying, "How dare you set an ambush for your father?"

"Ok?"

When Zhu Kai heard this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "No, mother, I went to Hongxiuzhao and my father arrested me inside. He also arrested my third, fourth and fifth brothers who were playing dice inside."

After saying that, Zhu Kai realized that Ma Xiuying seemed to have imagined an abnormal plot, and quickly said to Ma Xiuying: "Mom, it's not the same as you think. I went to Hong Xiu Zhao first, and then my father went there. It wasn't my father who went there first. You have to understand clearly, mom."

It was clearly my fault, how can I blame it on Lao Zhu?
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Another three blows, and Zhu Kai was stunned. Why don't you believe what I said?

It shouldn't be like this!

"At such a young age, you saw your father going to Hongxiu Zhao, and you even set an ambush with your mother? Is this what a son should do?"

Ma Xiuying was in great pain and couldn't help hitting Zhu Kai again:
"Where does my mother love you so much? Spit out all the meat I let you eat!"

angry!

"Beat you to death, you have no conscience."

As he said this, he started beating him.

Zhu Kai was speechless. Why did no one believe me when I told the truth?
What kind of world is this!

pain!
