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

Chapter 76: It’s a done deal! Second brother, I understand! ?

Zhu Chong gave Wang Ping a silly smile, as if telling Wang Ping, I'm here, don't worry!

Third brother is so cooperative!
Zhu Biao was very satisfied with the effect of his kick.

The second brother said that Wang Ping must feel what Zhu Chong has done for her.

Without hesitation, Zhu Biao took the water and fire stick from the yamen runner next to him and hit Zhu Chong on the buttocks.

There is no water in this stick.

It has to be real!
Another stick!

"You bastard! Are you trying to rebel against the heaven?"

He was scolded and beaten at the same time.

Every time the stick was hit, full of strength was used, but Zhu Chong gritted his teeth and didn't even let out a scream of pain, just kept enduring it.

There was still a silly smile on his face.

Wang Ping looked at Zhu Chong's expression at this moment, and suddenly she felt an unprecedented touch of emotion in her heart, which opened up a crack in her long-closed heart.

Then, tears fell from Wang Ping's eyes like beads from a broken string.

When Zhu Chong saw Wang Ping crying, he immediately panicked. Regardless of the fact that he was being beaten by Zhu Biao, he crawled forward twice with difficulty and struggled to raise his hands... Wang Ping seemed to know what he wanted to do. She stretched her head forward, then lowered her head, just within the reach of Zhu Chong's hand.

Zhu Chong helped Wang Ping wipe her tears with difficulty and said weakly: "Don't cry, I'm here, no one can hurt you."

Hey……

Zhu Biao is a stick. I'm working so hard here to act, and you're flirting with me, right?
It's not okay to mess up your acting!

Zhu Biao went there with the intention of knocking Zhu Chong unconscious.

Anyway, this kid is just like Zhu Kai, with thick skin and tough flesh.

After hearing this, Zhu Gang was deeply moved.

He didn't care about Qin Chi, he ran and hugged Zhu Biao from behind: "Brother, stop fighting, wuwuwu... They really didn't pass on the information, really, brother, you have to believe us, brother."

How could Zhu Biao not trust his brothers?

But my second brother said...the exercise needs to be performed in full, what if it gets exposed?
And fourth brother, you should have come over earlier. You only came over after third brother’s butt was beaten to pieces. Are you afraid that I won’t be able to kill your third brother?

snort!
Zhu Biao threw down the fire and water stick angrily and walked out without looking back: "Take Wang Ping to the prison and wait for your punishment!"

Zhu Gang looked around.

Qin Chi was knocked unconscious by himself, Zhu Chong was knocked unconscious by his eldest brother... Am I not the biggest in Yingtian Prefecture?
"Okay, big brother, don't worry, I promise not to let Third Sister-in-law run away."

After saying this, Zhu Gang quickly called out to the yamen runners beside him: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take our third brother to the hospital for treatment!"

"You two, follow me and take my third sister-in-law to the prison."

After Zhu Gang finished giving his instructions, the yamen runner asked with some difficulty: "Your Highness Prince Jin, Lord Qin..."

"What do you care about him?"

Zhu Gang didn't hesitate and kicked the yamen runner: "That bastard is going to write a memorial to sue me, so why should I save him? Go and pick a better cell for my third sister-in-law."

"Yes!"

……

Zhu Gang watched the people and settled Wang Ping down. Then he dismissed his attendants and said to Wang Ping, "Sister-in-law, you have really hurt my third brother this time."

"I didn't hurt him."

Wang Ping was still stubborn, "The crown prince of your Ming Dynasty is too ruthless. He even killed his own brother. He has no humanity."

"You guys are humane...you guys are humane, but Wang Baobao still abandons you?"

Zhu Gang curled his lips in disdain, "Alright, stop talking so much, sister-in-law, please stay here first, I'll go find someone who can save you."

"help me?"

Wang Ping looked at Zhu Gang, "It was the prince who had me locked up here. Who are you looking for? His Majesty?"

Zhu Gang smiled and then said, "You are my third brother's legal wife, so you are my sister-in-law. No matter who I find, I will rescue you, quickly!"

After saying this, Zhu Gang left.

……

After returning to the palace, Zhu Gang immediately went to Fengxian Hall.

Now, besides Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, the only one who can save Zhu Chong and Wang Ping is Zhu Kai.

Normally, when Zhu Gang had nothing to do, he didn't want to ask Zhu Kai for help, because he would inevitably be teased by him.

But now, he had to go find Zhu Kai.

When they arrived at Fengxian Hall, Zhu Gang saw Zhu Kai and was about to speak, but then he saw Zhu Biao was also there.

Zhu Biao is here too?

Zhu Gang turned around and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Biao: "You bastard, after beating up the imperial official, do you want to run away?"

"Uh... big brother, hello, second brother, haha... well, big brother, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Goodbye, second brother."

Zhu Gang laughed and planned to discuss things with Zhu Kai after Zhu Biao left.

After all, Wang Ping was imprisoned in Yingtian Prefecture by Zhu Biao's order, so it would not be appropriate to ask Zhu Biao to come out and rescue her now.

"return!"

Zhu Kai stopped Zhu Gang and said directly: "If you want to save your third sister-in-law, you have to come and discuss with us. Today in Yingtian Prefecture, we are performing a play for Wang Ping."

"acting?"

Zhu Gang was a little confused. What kind of play could beat Zhu Chong like that?

Zhu Biao said, "I can basically confirm that Wang Ping is Wang Baobao's spy, but if she becomes your third sister-in-law, your third brother will definitely be beaten."

Hearing what Zhu Kai and Zhu Biao said, Zhu Gang walked forward with a confused look on his face, then sat down: "Second brother, this is your idea again, right?"

"more or less."

Zhu Kai nodded and said to Zhu Gang, "Old Four, you have to know that real hunters often appear in the form of prey. Wang Ping is a woman with a hot temper, so it doesn't make sense for her to play the hero and save the beauty."

Then, Zhu Kai gave some emotional secrets to Zhu Tan, and the more Zhu Tan listened, the brighter his eyes became.

It turns out...there are so many tricks in love.

Zhu Kai explained the whole story, and then said to Zhu Gang, "Think about it, if Big Brother really wanted to arrest Wang Ping, why couldn't he have done it at any time? Why did he have to wait until Third Brother showed up? Isn't this giving Third Brother a chance to be a hero and save the beauty?"

"But, but in the end, it was still my third brother who saved my sister-in-law."

Zhu Gang was a little confused, "Third brother was beaten badly, didn't you see Second brother, his butt was broken?"

Zhu Kai shook his head, "No, the third brother was beaten. This is the prey. He knew that he was no match for the eldest brother, but he still rushed forward without hesitation. This is the third brother's sacrifice for love. But when Wang Ping saw the third brother being beaten so badly, she would naturally protect the third brother in the future, right? This is a strong woman, and she has to show her weak side and make her want to protect the other person. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I understand a little bit."

Zhu Gang nodded, not quite understanding.

The knowledge Zhu Kai imparted to him today was a bit profound, and he needed to digest it slowly: "But, what should we do next? Second brother, eldest brother, and third sister-in-law are still in the cell."

"Cough cough..."

Zhu Biao coughed twice, then said to Zhu Kai and Zhu Gang, "Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Second brother, fourth brother, you two can handle the next plan, and I won't have anything to do with it."

After saying this, Zhu Biao fled away, feeling very embarrassed.

The main reason was that Zhu Kai’s next plan was so despicable that I was embarrassed to listen to it a second time.

Zhu Gang didn't understand why Zhu Biao left, but he was not in a hurry.

Anyway, Zhu Biao has left, but Zhu Kai is still here, and Zhu Kai will definitely find a way to rescue people.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

Zhu Gang was a little anxious, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"It's not difficult to rescue Wang Ping. I can rescue her at any time."

Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Gang and asked earnestly, "But, fourth brother, can you guarantee that if you rescue Wang Ping, she can be with third brother?"

"Sure it can!"

Zhu Gang immediately said, "Second brother, didn't you see that Wang Ping was so moved that she cried? How could they not be together?"

Zhu Kai said in a persuasive manner: "Being touched is not emotion! Now it is just your third brother's wishful thinking. Besides, even if they are together, what if there is no emotion?"

Zhu Gang felt that what Zhu Kai said made sense, but he didn't know what to do next. After hearing Zhu Kai's clear and logical words, he felt that Zhu Kai would definitely have a solution: "Second brother, just tell me what to do, I promise to listen to you."

"What I mean is, it's very simple, just make sure it's done."

Zhu Kai took out a porcelain bottle with a smile and handed it to Zhu Gang: "Fourth brother, I rescued Wang Ping, and the next thing is your business."

"Me? What's the matter?"

Zhu Gang didn't understand, but when he saw the porcelain bottle, he understood a little bit, pointed at the porcelain bottle and asked: "Second brother, what are you doing..."

"Come on, come on, listen closely."

Zhu Kai pulled Zhu Gang and told him his plan. The more Zhu Gang listened, the wider his eyes widened. When Zhu Kai finished speaking, Zhu Gang immediately said, "Okay, this is a good idea! This is how we should do it, second brother!"

Ok?
Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Gang warily. There was something wrong with this guy's reaction.

This kid is full of bad intentions.

Have I revealed too many secrets of pursuing girls?
"Fourth brother, I'm warning you. I had to do this for my third brother. Don't learn from me and go out and become a thief or a prostitute. If I find out, I'll castrate you and make you a eunuch!"

"Brother, I understand. I understand."

Zhu Gang squeezed his legs together and nodded vigorously: "I am the fourth prince, the future His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, how can I do such a vulgar thing? As for feelings... let's just talk about feelings properly and not involve other things."

The more I listened to Zhu Gang's words, the more I felt that something was wrong with him.

This guy must have really learned bad things.

He won’t become a scumbag in the future, right?

Zhu Kai felt particularly uncomfortable when he thought that he was the one who cultivated this scumbag.

I haven’t even been a scumbag yet, so how could Zhu Gang be such a scumbag?

"Second brother, I understand. This bottle of medicine is to accelerate the relationship between third brother and his wife, and make their relationship progress by leaps and bounds."

Zhu Gang held the medicine, his eyes full of admiration for Zhu Kai: "Third brother and third sister-in-law have true feelings. We are not doing evil, but helping others to achieve their goals!"

Zhu Kai was thinking about how to turn Zhu Gang into a eunuch in the future. After hearing what Zhu Gang said, he said without hesitation: "Yes, love grows over time."

"Love grows over time?"

As expected, Zhu Gang focused his attention on the first word, and his eyes became brighter.

"Second brother is right. I have learned it. I have learned it."

Zhu Gang learned something, but Zhu Kai realized that his fourth brother would soon make Zhu Yuanzhang focus on Zhu Gang instead of himself.

It is better to let my friend die than to let me die, very good!

Being a scumbag is a matter for the future. The most important thing now is to rescue the "third sister-in-law" who hasn't entered the house yet.

Regardless of whether it is black or white, reasonable or unreasonable, Zhu Kai will let Wang Ping know that although his third brother is a romantic man, his brothers can do anything.

If she wants to harm her third brother, she can think about the consequences.

"Come on, follow me to rescue my third brother."

Zhu Kai stood up, his bear-like body gave others a very strong sense of oppression: "Fourth brother, haven't you always wanted to ask, what virtue and ability do I have to be the number one scourge of Yingtian Prefecture? Today I will show you what a real scourge is!"

"Okay, second brother!"

Zhu Gang has now become Zhu Di, following Zhu Kai and cheering.

……

Zhu Kai, along with the twenty guards assigned by Zhang Hao and Zhu Gang, went to the prison in Yingtian Prefecture.

Qin Chi was also at the door.

With a bruised face and nose, he was instructing the yamen runners of Yingtian Prefecture to question Wang Ping as soon as possible, and try their best to get evidence that Wang Ping was a spy against the Yuan Dynasty.

If we find out, it will be direct evidence to overthrow the King of Qin and the King of Jin.

In Qin Chi's opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest failure was to confer the title of king on his son. In the future, these conferred titles would become too powerful to be eliminated, and would be the biggest trouble for the emperor.

Since it is a trouble, it must be nipped in the bud.

The yamen runners were in a very difficult situation, especially when Zhu Gang was leaving, he specifically reminded them to take good care of Wang Ping. Qin Chi asked them to confess under torture, and if Zhu Gang found out, wouldn't they be in trouble?

"What do you know? The future of the world belongs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not the King of Qin or the King of Jin. They are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's future enemies. As subjects, we naturally have to consider the king."

When Qin Chi was speaking, he looked so righteous that it made people feel sick in their hearts.

The bailiff thought that Qin Chi did this in revenge for Zhu Gang beating him up in the lobby of Yingtian Prefecture.

People who take revenge on personal gain are really disgusting.

"Don't worry about whose orders it is. I am the official giving the orders now. You are all servants of Yingtian Prefecture. It is only natural that you should obey my orders."

Qin Chi has made up his mind to prove Wang Ping's identity as a spy, so no matter what means he uses, as long as he can achieve his goal, Qin Chi will do it unscrupulously.

As for Zhu Gang...what is he, a mere prince who has not yet been granted a fiefdom?
Qin Chi didn't take it to heart at all.

"How dare you not listen to my fourth brother and even speak alarmist words here, ruining the harmony between my brothers!"

Zhu Kai's voice came closer from far away: "Qin Chi, do you admit your guilt?"

Qin Chi didn't know who the visitor was, and Qin Chi had never dealt with Zhu Kai. Although he knew Zhu Kai's name and various deeds, he was not familiar with Zhu Kai.

But after hearing Zhu Kai's words, he realized that another prince had come.

The prince is coming?

so what!

I, Qin Chi, follow the prince!

Turning around, I saw a very oppressive figure walking towards me from afar. Even if I didn't listen to what this person said, I could not help but feel oppressed after seeing his bear-like body.

Among Zhu Yuanzhang's many princes, no one except Zhu Kai could have the same oppressive feeling towards others as Xiong Bin.

Zhu Kai...this prince is not easy to deal with.

Qin Chi had heard about Zhu Kai's deeds. Relying on the favor of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, he did all kinds of evil in Yingtian Prefecture and was notorious. He was already the number one scourge in Yingtian Prefecture. If he was not disciplined, he would become the biggest scourge of the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Chi didn't want to have too much interaction with Zhu Kai, mainly because he felt that a scourge like Zhu Kai would become a huge pit no matter where he stayed. If one got too close to him, he would end up being shattered to pieces.

However, what puzzled Qin Chi even more was why Zhu Kai came now?
According to his understanding, Zhu Kai, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang did not get along well, and Zhu Kai often bullied his two younger brothers.

But now...why is Zhu Kai the first to stand up when Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang are in trouble?
"Second Prince, this is an important place in the imperial court. You are not allowed to enter without permission."

Qin Chi faced Zhu Kai and withstood the pressure: "Second Prince, please withdraw first. This is not a place..."

Before Qin Chi could finish his words, Zhu Gang stood up from behind and said, "What the hell are you talking about? My second brother is the head of the royal family. He has the power to mobilize troops and punish officials. What qualifications do you have to ask my second brother to leave?"

"We are princes. Do we have to report to you, a subject, when we do something?"

Zhu Gang clenched his fists, waiting for Zhu Kai's order so that he could rush up and beat the bastard.

He looks gentle and refined, but who would have known that he is such a scoundrel who is trying to sow discord between the brothers. How could Zhu Gang tolerate this?

Seeing Zhu Gang clenching his fists, Qin Chi couldn't help but feel extreme pain on his face, but Qin Chi was very clear.

He can't retreat now!

If I retreat, it would mean bowing to the imperial power and being a disgrace to my character as a scholar.

No matter where this is placed, you must never give in!
Even if I die, I can leave my name in history and preserve the spirit of a scholar. If I give in now, there will be no difference between being alive and being dead.

There was no other way. For the sake of his persistence, Qin Chi could only bite the bullet and say, "What I said is the truth."

"You are telling the truth, but you despise us princes, that is also true! You want to torture the prisoners to extract a confession, that is also true! You want to alienate our brotherhood, that is also true!"

Zhu Kai took a step forward and looked down at Qin Chi: "So, if I pick any of these three, it won't be excessive to beat you up! Not to mention that you have three of them now!"

"you dare!"

When Qin Chi heard that he was going to be beaten, he stood even more firmly against Zhu Kai: "Why, the Second Prince wants to kill me?"

"Kill you? Not impossible!" Zhu Kai raised his hand, stretched forward, and directly grabbed Qin Chi's neck. With a little force, he twisted Qin Chi's neck into a purple color.

"Uh……"

Qin Chi never expected that Zhu Kai would start fighting as soon as he said so.

He was the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, a second-rank official. How dare Zhu Kai treat an important official of the court like this?

He still wanted to struggle, but Zhu Kai didn't want to give him the chance. He used force again to pinch Qin Chi's neck and slowly lifted it up.

Uh, uh…

Qin Chi only felt his feet leaving the ground and he felt more and more painful.

The difficulty in breathing made Qin Chi feel like he was about to die.

Is this what it feels like to be dead?
Qin Chi suddenly felt that he seemed to have transcended life and death, and everything here seemed to be out of his control.

But, if I die like this, wouldn’t it be too worthless?
I have finally reached such a high position as the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. If I die, I will be reduced to a handful of dirt.

At this moment, neither morality nor his literary character seemed to be important, as if only life and death were the most important.

If I die, I will have no chance at all.

"Uh, uh..."

Qin Chi struggled continuously, but found that Zhu Kai's hands were like iron clamps and he couldn't break free at all.

Looking at Zhu Kai's cold eyes again, his life seemed to be non-existent in front of him...

Am I really going to die?
No, I don't want to die!
Screw his literary character. If he knew that Zhu Kai was so vicious, what literary character would he still need?
However, no matter how Qin Chi struggled, he could not stop Zhu Kai's increasing strength. Qin Chi was frightened to the point of shitting and pissing... As his consciousness became increasingly blurred, Qin Chi suddenly realized that he was really going to die this time.

Dying?

I'm so unhappy!
Originally, I didn't have to die...

Qin Chi closed his eyes and felt nothing.

Zhu Kai was very measured in his actions. He knew who should be killed and who should not be killed.

He could teach Qin Chi a lesson, but he couldn't kill Qin Chi.

After Qin Chi fainted, Zhu Kai let him go. Looking at the stinking Qin Chi, Zhu Kai's eyes were full of contempt for him: "With this, you are qualified to be the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture? You are far worse than Old Meng."

At least Meng Duan still has some backbone.

And Qin Chi is nothing!

Zhu Kai stepped over the unconscious Qin Chi, and Zhu Gang pretended to walk forward from behind. He then accidentally stepped on Qin Chi's hand, twisted his ankle, and stepped over Qin Chi.

At this moment, Zhu Gang looked at Zhu Kai with eyes full of admiration.

Is this the style of the number one evildoer in Yingtian Prefecture?

So awesome!

Zhu Gang felt that he would also learn from Zhu Kai in the future, learn Zhu Kai's style of doing things, and learn everything he could learn from him.

Especially when it comes to emotional issues, Zhu Gang believes that those are words that only a master can say, and he must learn from Zhu Kai.

What is the style of the first scourge of Yingtian Prefecture?
To sum it up simply, it can be summed up in two words: invincible.

Zhu Kai had just strangled the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture unconscious with one hand, and then continued to walk inside. The people standing on both sides of the prison, whether they were yamen runners or criminals imprisoned in the cells, no one dared to breathe loudly.

They never imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang's second son would be so arrogant and domineering.

I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant as Zhu Kai.

Even if you are a prince, you can't ignore the laws of the court like this, right?
The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture is not a servant of your Zhu family, he is a minister of the Ming Dynasty!

Shouldn't we give our subjects the respect they deserve?

But, no.

Zhu Kai looked at Qin Chi as if he was looking at trash that could be thrown anywhere. As long as he wanted, anyone could become trash.

Moreover, Zhu Kai, who looks like a bear, gives people an infinite sense of oppression when he walks on the road. The muscles on his arms are as thick as a child's thighs. In addition, Zhu Kai has long legs, so he walks with great vigor.

Zhu Gang followed behind, just like Zhu Kai's lackey, but when everyone looked at Zhu Gang, they actually felt a hint of envy in their hearts.

It seemed... following someone like Zhu Kai, even if I was his lackey, I would feel infinitely honored.

"Where is Wang Ping?"

Zhu Kai stopped and asked Zhu Gang, "Didn't you bring her here? Don't you know the place?"

"Uh... I know."

Zhu Gang hurried to the front and helped Zhu Kai lead the way. Soon, across several empty cells, Zhu Kai saw Wang Ping, whom Zhu Gang had been thinking about.

This one isn't very good looking.

No matter what others think, Zhu Kai just feels that this woman is not that good. She looks quite ordinary, with a dark skin color. To say that she is pretty... one can only say that she looks very healthy, but she just doesn't suit Zhu Kai's aesthetic taste.

In this regard, Zhu Kai said that he had nothing to say. It was his third brother who fell in love with such an ordinary woman. Since his third brother liked her, Zhu Kai didn't mind taking some measures.

Wang Ping was also very scared when she saw Zhu Kai... This fear did not mean that she knew what bad things Zhu Kai had done, or that she knew Zhu Kai and knew what he did.

His fear of Zhu Kai was just out of fear. Zhu Kai was like a wild beast. When his eyes looked at him, there was no emotion in them, as if he was the one who was bound to die.

"Are you Wang Ping?"

Zhu Kai looked down at Wang Ping, "I am Zhu Chong's second brother, Zhu Kai! My third brother likes you, are you willing to marry him?"

"I……"

Wang Ping was also struggling at this time, wondering whether to agree or not.

She appeared next to Zhu Chong because someone pushed her to deliberately see and meet Zhu Chong. However, Wang Ping did not expect that their relationship would progress so quickly.

Agree it, feeling that it is because of the oppression brought by Zhu Kai's bear-like body that it seems like a forced sale.

If you don't agree, even though Zhu Chong is a little silly, he is still a good person. He knows that he is no match for Crown Prince Zhu Biao, but he is still willing to stand in front of you. He looks silly at ordinary times, but he is still quite manly at critical moments.

Wang Ping was a little conflicted. What if Zhu Chong really liked her, and then found out that all this was fake, would he collapse?

Zhu Gang was listening to what Zhu Kai said and felt a little anxious.

Second brother, how can you ask questions like that?

Shouldn't he disguise himself as prey?
Zhu Gang was a little anxious, and quickly explained to Wang Ping: "Sister-in-law, my second brother means that he thinks you two are quite suitable. Anyway, the news has spread all over Yingtian Prefecture, and your marriage is the best choice."

Wang Ping didn't know whether she should agree or not. Zhu Kai seemed to see Wang Ping's dilemma and said, "If you don't want to answer, forget it. Girl, come with us and go home first."

After Zhu Kai finished speaking, he led the way in front. Wherever they went, the yamen runners did not dare to get within five meters of Zhu Kai, for fear of being accidentally injured by him if they stood within his range of force.

After sending Wang Ping home, Zhu Gang pulled Zhu Kai and said, "Second brother, this woman doesn't look like a good person. Third brother helped her so much, but she is not grateful. I think what second brother said is right. He should just drug her and let third brother take her down together."

"Fourth brother, you can't say that."

Zhu Kai stroked his chin and said to Zhu Gang, "I think that girl has some feelings for my third brother, but she is still hesitant. As for the drugging... let's not talk about it, shall we? Since they have feelings for each other, why not let them figure it out themselves?"

"What do you mean by understanding? Didn't the second brother say that love grows over time? The third brother and this woman are flirting with each other, how long will it take for them to understand each other?"

Zhu Gang disagreed with Zhu Kai's words, "I think we still have to give him medicine!"

"Fourth brother, this is inappropriate..."

"There's nothing inappropriate. Second brother, you're still too soft-hearted at the critical moment. Don't worry about this matter. I'll take care of it."

"alright."

Zhu Kai patted Zhu Gang's shoulder and said, "I believe in my fourth brother!"

……

The villain was Zhu Biao, and the one who administered the drug was Zhu Gang.

What does this have to do with me, Zhu Kai?
The idea wasn't mine...

Zhu Kai put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards Fengxian Hall: "They all say that I am a disaster and a bad person, but the bad things are done by my elder brother and younger brothers. What does it have to do with me, Zhu Kai?"

Thinking of the blame he had taken, Zhu Kai felt helpless: "What sin have I committed to have such troublesome brothers and sisters? I have to bear what I shouldn't have to bear at such a young age. It's really hard for me."

……

As expected, Zhu Kai rushed into Yingtian Prefecture and beat the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture so hard that he was shitting and pissing all over the place. All the criticism was directed at Zhu Kai.

Even though Zhu Gang was also involved in beating Qin Chi, everyone naturally ignored Zhu Gang and thought that all of this was Zhu Kai's fault.

In the court, various court officials kept criticizing Zhu Kai, believing that Zhu Kai was guilty and asking Zhu Yuanzhang to severely punish Zhu Kai.

In the end, Zhu Biao couldn't bear to listen any longer and couldn't help but say to the court officials: "My Lords, as far as I know, it was the Prince of Jin who beat Lord Qin Chi, and it had nothing to do with the Second Prince."

As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, someone immediately stood up to refute him: "Your Highness, you can't say that. The Second Prince is the head of the royal family appointed by Your Majesty. He has the mission of educating the princes. Your Highness the Prince of Jin is so arrogant and domineering because the Second Prince has failed to educate him."

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused widespread approval from the surrounding ministers, who felt that whatever Zhu Kai did was wrong and everything was Zhu Kai's fault.

"..."

Zhu Biao was speechless when he heard what the ministers said. He found that anything that had to do with Zhu Kai, no matter whether Zhu Kai did it well or not, would be blamed on Zhu Kai. The ministers in the court and the public did not understand the meaning of discussing the matter at hand. They just attacked Zhu Kai and would not stop until he was brought down.

Zhu Biao knew clearly why they did this: these ministers who attacked Zhu Kai were members of the prince's party. They believed that Zhu Kai was the biggest threat to Zhu Biao and must be eliminated as soon as possible.

These ministers don’t understand at all.

Zhu Biao was too lazy to persuade them anymore. He had tried it before. The harder he persuaded them, the harder these prince's followers attacked Zhu Kai.

These people are unworthy of being my subjects!
Hu Weiyong, the only person in the Yuan Dynasty who spoke for Zhu Kai, has become a running dog and is hated by everyone!

At this time, he was still shouting loudly: "The Second Prince is innocent. He is the head of the Zhu family who takes care of his brothers and the head of the royal clan. These are not the Second Prince's crimes. On the contrary, he should be greatly rewarded."

However, how much fighting power can Hu Weiyong have if he is alone?

useless!

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was so annoyed by the quarrel. He knew what Zhu Kai was doing, but he was the one who was in the wrong in this matter. This rebellious son was too domineering, and Zhu Yuanzhang could not stand it anymore.

"All right!"

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted the courtiers who were still attacking Zhu Kai and said, "Zhu Kai has no moral integrity and disregards the orders of the court officials. Yuan Qi, you go and beat Zhu Kai with forty sticks and confine him to the palace for half a year. Do not allow him to leave the palace."

Locking Zhu Kai in the palace for half a year was definitely a huge torture for him.

As for beating Zhu Kai with forty sticks, it was Yuan Qi who hit him, so how much strength could he have? He probably got too tired to hit him before he finished hitting him with forty sticks.

After the court was over, Zhu Biao went to find Zhu Kai. Yuan Qi was panting after beating him and was ready to leave. When he arrived at the Fengxian Hall, Zhu Biao saw Zhu Kai drinking milk.

"Come on, come on, big brother, drink some milk."

Zhu Kai asked Lai Fu to bring Zhu Biao a glass of milk, and also gave Zhu Biao two eggs: "A glass of milk every day will strengthen the people of the Ming Dynasty. Drink milk, big brother!"

"You brat! Try to stop causing trouble in the future. Look how tired Yuan Qi is."

After Zhu Biao sat down, he said to Zhu Kai, "My father has issued an order in the court to lock you up in the palace for half a year."

"What? Half a year?"

Zhu Kai stood up immediately.

Locking him up in the palace for half a year is no different from imprisoning him:
"No, I have to go find my father. How can he do this? I'm trying to help him find a good daughter-in-law, and he treats me like this?"

As he said this, Zhu Kai was about to go to Zhu Yuanzhang to argue, but when Gang stood up, he was stopped by Zhu Biao: "Okay, you stay in the palace honestly. Go visit our mother and our brothers when you have nothing to do. None of them study hard. When I'm not at home, you have to make sure they study hard."

"How could our father not know what kind of personality you have? Isn't it that we locked you up in the palace so that you can spend more time with mother? There will be a war this year, and I will leave with Uncle Xu Da. Dad will definitely be busy with the Northern Expedition, so you will have to take care of our mother."

Zhu Biao knew Zhu Kai's thoughts very well, and Zhu Yuanzhang must have known that Zhu Kai would be unhappy about locking Zhu Kai up in the palace. But since the emperor had spoken, could the decision be changed?
It would be better to find another reason and let Zhu Kai calm down first.

Ma Xiuying is the only person who can calm Zhu Kai down.

"Okay, brother, you are the only one telling me this. Our father can't do it."

Zhu Kai finally sat down, but lowered his head and said to Zhu Biao: "Brother, you must be more careful when you go to Huguang. Those scholars and nobles have been humiliated by us. They will definitely take revenge. These people's little thoughts..."

"Brother knows that they only have a family, not the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao patted Zhu Kai on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, I know how to handle it. As for the matter with my third brother..."

Having said this, Zhu Biao was embarrassed to say the following words.

The main thing is that the act of drugging was really shameless and not what a gentleman should do. Although Zhu Biao was a bit black-hearted, there were some things he was still embarrassed to do.

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

Zhu Kai laughed, touched his chin and said to Zhu Biao: "I think that Third Brother and Wang Ping are in love. They both like each other, but they haven't taken the crucial step yet. I don't think they need to drug her."

Hearing Zhu Kai's words, Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

Just don't give me any medicine.

Just don't give me any medicine.

"Row!"

Zhu Biao resolved a worry and breathed a sigh of relief: "In half a year, I will be back soon. By then, we will have our coming-of-age ceremony together, and maybe I can even drink at my third brother's wedding."

Zhu Kai also laughed but didn't say anything.

Brother, you are still too innocent. I said there is no need to drug you, but don’t we still have the fourth brother Zhu Gang?

Whether Zhu Gang drugged me or not has nothing to do with me.

I, Zhu Kai, have a kind nature and am a model of elder brothers in the world. How could I do such a despicable thing as drugging someone?
Zhu Biao ate two eggs and a plate of dumplings. After finishing his milk, he patted Zhu Kai on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, wait for me to come back."

"yes, Sir!"

Zhu Kai patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I will take good care of mom and take good care of my brothers."

Zhu Biao smiled and said nothing.

Obviously, he had some doubts about Zhu Kai's words. Zhu Kai could definitely take good care of Ma Xiuying, but it was not certain whether he could take good care of his younger brothers and make Zhu Yuanzhang feel at ease.

If Zhu Kai was really so obedient, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't have to call Zhu Kai "rebellious son".

But as long as Zhu Kai is here, everything will be fine, right?

……

Zhu Di didn't know at first that Zhu Kai was helping Zhu Chong. By the time he found out, Zhu Kai had already been confined to the palace.

After learning about this, Zhu Di went to find Zhu Kai as soon as he saw him. When he saw Zhu Kai, he complained: "Second brother, you should have brought me with you when you went to break into the Yingtian Prefecture government office. With me here, why would you need your second brother to take action?"

"In my opinion, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang are useless. Do you really need to help with such a small matter? If I go, all the officials in Yingtian Prefecture will kneel down and kowtow to me!"

Zhu Di is worthy of being called 'Little Zhu Kai', he is still the same when it comes to bragging.

When Zhu Gang was helping Zhu Chong to the Fengxian Hall, he heard Zhu Di bragging. He really wanted to listen to him, so Zhu Gang let go of Zhu Chong and then kicked Zhu Di on the butt: "Fifth brother, stop bragging. You will be sent to prison if you go there!"

After saying this, without waiting for Zhu Di to refute, Zhu Gang said to Zhu Kai: "Second brother, third brother wants to come to thank you, I can't stop him, so I have to come with him."

Zhu Kai said to Zhu Di, "Pull a bed over for your third brother."

"it is good."

Zhu Di had only two words to say about Zhu Kai's words: obey.

Total obedience.

Under normal circumstances, he would not have paid any attention to Zhu Chong.

"Thank you, second brother."

Zhu Chong, lying on the bed, still looked very weak: "If it weren't for you, Ping'er would still be in the imperial prison."

"What are you thanking me for? I'm your second brother. If I don't take on the responsibility, will you let your eldest brother do it?"

朱楷看着朱樉，随后说道：“你说你也是，还没打四十大板呢，你丫就晕过去了，这身体也不行啊，还不如大哥呢，回头你把王保保的妹妹娶回家，你不得天天挨揍？”

"I've already identified her even if I get beaten up."

Zhu Chong smiled, then realized something was wrong and immediately raised his head to refute Zhu Kai: "Second brother, why are you insulting me? How is my body... not as good as yours?"

"You're just not as good as that."

Zhu Di added, "When my elder brother beat me, he was always out of breath, but I was still fine. Look at you... Our father was so wise and brave, how could he give birth to a weakling like you!"

"Do you deserve a beating again?"

Zhu Chong couldn't stand this insult and immediately struggled to stand up: "Do you believe I will beat you up now?"

Zhu Gang, who was standing nearby, was thinking about how to help Zhu Chong with the drug. When he heard that Zhu Chong was going to beat Zhu Di, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don't move, third brother. I'll do it!"
