Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 205 Punishment

"You two masters, offended!"

After Chang Sen's words fell, more than a dozen silver-armored guards came in from the outside, pressed the second king of Qin and Jin on the long bench, and directly tore off his clothes, revealing the white silk clothes inside.

"Tear it off!" Zhu Biao said angrily.

"My lords, I have offended you!"

"Chang Lao San, you"

Chang Sen said another word, and amidst the exclamation of the two feudal lords, he directly tore it open, exposing the back of King Qin and King Jin.

This job can only be done by him.He is a relative of the emperor, the brother-in-law of Prince Zhu Biao, and has a close relationship with the Zhu family.If you were someone else, you would have to be hated by the two feudal lords in the future.

"Hold it down, don't let them move!" Zhu Biao yelled angrily again.

Then he walked in front of the two younger brothers, looked at their apprehensive eyes, and said, "I was ordered by my father to beat you, if you still have the arrogance of the Zhu family, don't beg for mercy, don't say anything!"

As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, and with a snap, the old man's belt had been stretched a few times in his hand.

The belt was as wide as a palm, and the old man's belt didn't have any complicated decorations, let alone gold inlaid with jade.The old man was born in the army, and the belt he usually wears is the style commonly used in the army.

But on the belt, there are dense copper buckles and copper nails.

"Lie down, straighten your back!" Zhu Biao roared.

Pa, he went down towards the back of Qin Wang Zhu Xi, and suddenly a purlin swelled up, appearing ferociously like a centipede.

"You are enfeoffing the land, doing anything wrong, constructing large-scale construction projects, and harming your subjects. Should you hit me?" As he spoke, he kept patting his hands a few times.

A few belts down, the back of Qin Wang Zhu Xi has been blurred, completely swollen, red with purple.

"Uh! Uh!" King Qin Zhu Xi almost gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Papa, another few strokes, directly on the back of Jin Wang Zhu Bian, the flesh and blood on the broad back suddenly swelled, and the piercing pain made him clench his teeth.

"You are in a fiefdom, abusing lynching, and using outrageous methods, should you fight!"

Zhu Biao yelled every time he asked.

"It's time to fight!" King Qin and King Jin would respond loudly every time he struck.

For a while, the garden was filled with the sound of belts beating flesh.

Not long after, the backs of the two vassals turned from swollen to bloody.

"Prince, it's almost time!" Huaiyuan Hou Changsen persuaded.

Prince Zhu Biao looked at the two younger brothers, suppressed the pain in his heart, and said coldly, "It is the father's will, don't let the belt rip off, don't stop!" As he said, he pointed to his body that was already trembling violently because of the pain, and his fingers almost dug into the mouth. The two princes on the bench, "Hold it!"

Chang Sen had no choice but to look at the guards nearby.

Several people stepped forward and held down the hands and feet of the two vassals, preventing them from struggling.

Clap, clap!
Zhu Biao stood in the middle of the yard, the belt in his hand fell with the wind.

"Ah! Big brother!" Qin Wang Zhu Xi finally couldn't help but begged for mercy.

"Brother!" Jin Wang Zhu Yan couldn't hold back, and his body began to struggle.

"If you are still my father's son, please bear with me and don't make a sound!" Zhu Biao yelled, keeping the belt in his hand.

"My Zhu family came from a humble background, originally the head of Guizhou in Huaixi!"

"My grandparents braved the wind and rain, and farmed in the severe cold and scorching heat, but they can't live in troubled times!"

"Family members are scattered, and the parents are dead! My father resolutely joined the army, survived death, and escaped death, so that we can have the prosperity and wealth of our children and grandchildren!"

"The two of you don't think about the sufferings of your ancestors and your father's hardships. This is unfilial!"

"As princes, the two of you cannot be sympathetic to the common people and love your subordinates. This is inhumane!"

"The two princes of the Ming Dynasty did not regard benevolence as beauty, but acted violently and recklessly. They disregarded the grace of the saints. This is disloyalty!"

"Unfaithful, benevolent, and unfilial, what will you two look like in the future, facing the ancestors of my Zhu family!"

Snapped!Belt chipped.Copper buttons and nails were scattered all over the place.

The backs of the two vassal kings were bloody and bruised.

"Brother!" King Qin Zhu Xi said with tears in his eyes, "Your brother knows his mistake!"

"Brother, younger brother knows his mistake!" Jin Wang Zhu Yan also said.

"Know what's wrong?" Zhu Biao said blankly, "What's wrong?"

"My younger brother should not abuse lynching, build large-scale construction projects, and kill indiscriminately!"

"Wrong!" Before the two feudal lords could finish speaking, Zhu Biao continued to shout, "The root cause of all your faults lies with you, forget your origin!"

As he spoke, he held a broken belt and continued to shout, "You guys forgot, our Zhu family also came from a poor background!"

Immediately, Zhu Biao paused, "Let them go, let them kneel!"

The guards opened up the two vassal kings, their bodies were covered with blood and flesh, they couldn't kneel steadily, they could only put their hands on the ground and gritted their teeth.

"Do you hate me in your heart?" Zhu Biao asked in a low voice.

"Brothers dare not!"

"Hate dad?"

"Don't even dare!"

"I hit you, and it hurts my heart! My mother cried secretly for many days when she heard about your outrageous methods." Zhu Biao was heartbroken, "I have heard that my mother knelt in the ancestral hall several times, Kneeling before the spirit of our grandparents, saying that she did not teach her son well!"

"Our Zhu family, when we were poor, did not steal or rob, and relied on our strength to eat. We have never had anyone who corrupted the family tradition! Now, as the Tian family, we have raised the two of you!"

Saying that, Zhu Biao looked at the two brothers again, "Father asked me to ask you, do you still remember the inscription he personally erected before the ancestral tomb of our Zhu family?"

"Brothers remember!"

"Back it out loud!"

"In the past, my father, the emperor, lived in this place, the agriculture was difficult, and he was wandering day and night. The natural disasters in Erer were prevalent, and his family members suffered: Huang Kao finally had four out of sixty, and nine out of fifty imperial concubine died. Brother Meng died first, and the whole family mourning."

"The landowner doesn't care about his virtues, he screams high, he doesn't share with the land, the neighbors feel melancholy. Brother Huyi's generosity, benefiting from this yellow soil, there is no coffin for the funeral, and the body is covered with bad clothes, floating three feet, what kind of food is laid."

"After the burial, the family was in turmoil, brother Zhong was weak, and his livelihood was not enough. Aunt Meng brought her young and returned to her hometown in the east. There was no rain in the sky, the locusts soared, the people in the village lacked food, and the grass and trees were food."

"Why is it that I am frightened and mad, and I am planning with my brother. How is it normal? My brother said to go here, and each of us will go through the famine. My brother cried for me, and I was hurt for my brother. The emperor's day is full of tears, and my heart is broken. Brothers are different. Road, mourning far away."

This imperial mausoleum inscription was written by the old man Zhu Yuanzhang in the 11th year of Hongwu.

He was born in a humble family and had not read any books.Earlier, the civil servants who had reached the pinnacle of literary attainments were ordered to erect monuments for the ancestors of the Zhu family, but none of the articles they wrote were satisfactory.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote it himself and stood in the middle of the imperial tomb.

The inscription on the inscription is written about the tragic events experienced by the Zhu family in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty.

His parents and elder brother died of illness one after another. The family was poor and there was no thin coffin, so they could only cover their elders with straw mats.He even had no place to bury him, but asked the landlord, and was turned away.Seeing that he was about to die in the wilderness, it was a piece of poor land donated by the good neighbors to settle down.

On the day of the burial, it rained heavily.Zhu Yuanzhang and the only remaining third brother watched helplessly as the graves of their parents were irrigated with muddy water, helpless.

Afterwards, there was no food in the family, and they ate grass roots and bark. The two brothers hugged each other and cried.The old man stood on the small road in the village, watching his only surviving elder brother go out to flee famine.

This is their Zhu family.

Listening to the recitation of the two younger brothers, Zhu Biao gradually moistened his eyes.

After the two younger brothers finished reciting, their voices became smaller and smaller because of the pain.

Zhu Biao wiped away his tears and said in a loud voice, "Tomorrow's court meeting, you two bastards, even if you climb, you have to climb to Fengtian Hall. In front of father and all the officials, kowtow to admit your mistake!"
