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

Chapter 8: He is only a prince of the Ming Dynasty, but not Zhu Yuanzhang's son

Divide the land equally and provide relief to the people.

So what if the princes and nobles are like this? They are also one of the people!
These words of Zhu Kai lingered in Feng Sheng's mind. He could not help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang. Since he became emperor, he had been personally involved in everything and in charge of the power of the world. He already had the power to monopolize all the power. If Zhu Yuanzhang was moved by Zhu Kai's words, he would certainly push it forward forcefully.

Those powerful people who fought with Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world are becoming more selfish. Will they listen to Zhu Yuanzhang as they did before?
What should I do then?

Feng Sheng couldn't help but ask himself: "Will Your Majesty listen to Zhu Kai and divide the land equally? If Your Majesty really does this...what should I do?"

Thinking of this, Feng Sheng couldn't help but turn his gaze to Zhu Kai. The matter was raised by Zhu Kai, and the solution to this matter might fall on Zhu Kai.

"The Second Prince is my son-in-law..."

Feng Sheng's mind was not on Zhu Yuanzhang and his children in the hall, but on himself.

When Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang heard Zhu Di's words, they were completely stunned.

"You bastard! You framed me!"

Zhu Chong couldn't help himself, he stood up and pointed at Zhu Di: "Are you trying to deceive my father?"

Zhu Gang also raised his head and glared at Zhu Di, looking like he was about to start a fight if they disagreed.

Zhu Di didn't say anything, but blinked hard at Zhu Yuanzhang with pitiful eyes.

Father, you have seen it all. This is how my third and fourth brothers treat me.

Feng Sheng was like an outsider. Looking at the scene in front of him, four big words popped up in his mind: Brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other!

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang again, four more words popped up in Feng Sheng's mind: The story of fatherly love and filial piety between sons is about to begin.

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang made a 'hmm' sound through his nostrils.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang suddenly came to their senses and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, please be wise. Zhu Di... my fifth brother lied and framed me. Please be wise, Father!"

"Father, please take a closer look!"

The two brothers were terrified and kept telling Zhu Yuanzhang that they were wronged.

Zhu Kai next to him didn't say a word, but the gloating expression on his face was obvious. Zhu Biao sighed.

Third brother, fourth brother...my own silly brother, there is no way you can escape this beating.

We need our father to have a clear investigation...It is difficult for a judge to settle family affairs. Every family is a mess, so how can we have a clear investigation?

"Yuanqi!"

Zhu Yuanzhang called out, and Yuan Qi immediately bowed. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The third and fourth sons are naughty and don't study hard. They will be caned twenty times!"

"Old Five has betrayed his elder brother. He is ignorant and unskillful. Twenty strokes of the cane!"

"You go to supervise the execution!"

Yuan Qi: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Biao let out a long sigh of relief. Dad beat his three sons, so I have nothing to do with it, right? My second brother also has nothing to do with it... No, Dad wants to teach my second brother a lesson himself!
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao secretly wondered how he would plead with his father later.

Zhu Di said nothing when he was dragged out by the emperor's personal guards. Those personal guards beat him with a stick with restraint. He just needed to lie down for two days. As long as he was not beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, there would be no problem.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang were complaining for themselves and feeling regretful: Why did they have to go to Fengxian Hall at that time? Wouldn't it be better to go back to where they lived?

Why are you greedy for Zhu Kai's beer and beef?
The key is that we haven’t eaten enough!

Zhu Chong felt extremely wronged. When he was dragged away by the emperor's personal army, the more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt.

I am going to be beaten with a stick twenty times, but the culprit Zhu Kai is not going to get hurt at all?
"Oh, that's not fair!"

Zhu Chong shouted loudly towards the Fengxian Hall:

"Father, it was Zhu Kai who framed my fourth brother and me! Father, you are wise, father!"

Zhu Gang looked gloomy.

Own……

After all, he is not Ma Xiuying's child. He is just a prince of the Ming Dynasty, the Prince of Jin of the Ming Dynasty. But... he is not Zhu Yuanzhang's son.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang did not punish the brothers Zhu Biao and Zhu Kai.

After dragging Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang, and Zhu Di out, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Everyone, get up."

Zhu Biao stood up, while Zhu Kai changed from kneeling to sitting cross-legged, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile: "Dad, would you like to drink something? I made something new, a great summer wine!"

"Go get it."

Zhu Yuanzhang had been handling official business for a whole day and was really hungry.

But the business is not over yet.

Zhu Kai went to the back hall to get beef and beer, while Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao who was standing there: "Your brother said that we should divide the land equally and help the people. What do you think?"

"Good thing, this move will bring longevity to the Ming Dynasty! But... it's too late. After all, you have already set the rules, and my second brother's proposal breaks the rules and can easily cause a mutiny."

Zhu Biao said calmly, "Dad, the teacher said that if there are no rules and regulations, there will be no..."

"Shut up!"

When Zhu Biao was speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became angry and told him to shut up. Zhu Biao was puzzled: Am I wrong?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Prince Zhu Biao! You have failed to teach me well! Give me forty strokes of the cane! Yuan Qi! Yuan Qi! Pull the prince down and give him forty strokes of the cane. Beat him hard!"

"what?"

Zhu Biao immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

But, what's wrong?

The emperor’s words are as good as law, how can we change them at will?
Feng Sheng stood behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

Looks like a piece of wood, but is actually covered in sweat...

Beating Zhu Biao was an expression of Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction, and also showed that he agreed with the call for "equal distribution of land" in his heart.

It's over. I have fought with Zhu Yuanzhang all my life, and now I have become Zhu Yuanzhang's enemy.

If you don’t want to become Zhu Yuanzhang’s enemy…okay.

Hand over the land.

But, is Feng Sheng willing to teach?

Zhu Kai brought draft beer, wagyu beef, ice cubes, and smokeless charcoal. He didn't seem surprised at all by Zhu Biao's sudden disappearance. Instead, he put down the things he was holding with a smile and said, "Dad, I'll grill some meat for you."

"Ah."

Zhu Kai first lit the charcoal, and then started fanning it.

After the fire was strong, the meat was roasted, then the draft beer barrel was grabbed and something called a faucet was stuffed into it, which Zhu Yuanzhang and Feng Sheng couldn't understand. After turning it on, a circle was put on the barrel and it was also turned twice.

Place a draft beer glass filled with ice cubes under the tap.

Feng Sheng saw a stream of yellow water mixed with foam flowing out from it.

He took the beer and placed it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, then continued to turn the barbecue: "Father-in-law, do you want some too? There is Zhu Di's cup next to it, just go and take it."

Feng Sheng dared not move, but Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned him to sit down: "Your son-in-law grilled meat for you, it would be a waste if you don't eat it, sit down and join us! Today there is no monarch or subject, only in-laws."

Feng Sheng broke out in a cold sweat after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, but he dared not disobey.

They said they were relatives by marriage, but they were actually targeting their relatives... Feng Sheng felt very upset. He wondered why he had been so blinded by his greed and married his daughter to Zhu Kai.

This guy is a jinx!
"As ordered!"

Feng Sheng sat down and took the beer, moving very slowly, for fear of making any noise and displeasing Zhu Yuanzhang, who would then take the opportunity to attack him.

At this time, in the huge Fengxian Hall, only the barbecue on the barbecue grill was sizzling. Soon, the aroma of beef filled the Fengxian Hall again, and Feng Sheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

This beef...why does it smell so good?
