Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded
Chapter 52 Do all the bad things
Chapter 52 Do all the bad things
Zhu Biao was obviously stumped by Yang Chen’s question.
Yes, if his sister gets married and is bullied by others, then he, as a brother, will definitely not sit idly by.
I could see an ugly look on the other person’s face.
Yang Chen continued talking.
“Look, Prince, you can’t answer it either, right? If you follow your own inner thoughts, if any prince consort dares to bully the princess of your Zhu family.
I’m afraid this prince consort will have a miserable end.
In fact, I can understand that it is normal that Your Majesty and the Prince do not believe what I say, because all the princes during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.
I don’t know what is going on, or maybe there is something wrong with your education method, Your Majesty.
Some princes were fine when they were in Nanjing City, but once they arrived at their own fiefdoms, they started to become like different people.
If this happens to a woman, it is called contrast, meaning that she looks like a dignified lady, but is actually a slut who is available to anyone.
This is the case with these princes. In Nanjing City, they are all powerful generals who can decide the fate of the world, but once they leave the capital, they immediately change their faces.
As the saying goes, do not do good deeds because they are small, and do not do bad deeds because they are small. Since the King of Qin could abuse his wife like this, it is enough to show how cruel he is to his servants in his daily life.
Prince, you will be regarded as a kind and benevolent person who loves the people in the future generations, but you have only brought disgrace upon your own brothers.
The reason is that your brother is obviously very cruel, just like the ancient tyrant Jie of Xia.
Not only did you fail to educate your brother properly, but you also stood up to stop His Majesty when he wanted to severely punish him.
When your brother pretended to change and was sent back to his fiefdom, his nature was still hard to change and he continued to massacre the people.
This behavior is like having a few rat droppings floating in a pot of delicious soup.”
At this moment, Zhu Biao lowered his head in shame and said nothing.
If Yang Chen observed carefully, he would find that the prince was already completely red-hot.
Wow, this is so presumptuous. Everyone has vanity, and Zhu Biao is no exception.
Thinking about the fact that he would be called the most regrettable prince by future generations, even if he did not become the emperor, having such a title and being remembered by the world would mean that his name would go down in history.
But who could have imagined that his own brother would stab him in the back, leaving an indelible mark of humiliation on his positive image.
“My second brother is not that bad, is he? Did you mix it up, Yang Chen?”
When Zhu Di heard Yang Chen describe his second brother as a beast, he couldn’t help but stand up.
Before Yang Chen could speak, Zhu Biao was the first to step forward.
“Okay, Old Four! Stop talking for now.”
After being yelled at by his elder brother, Zhu Di realized that he seemed to be drifting again.
So he quickly covered his mouth, wondering why he couldn’t control himself. In the end, he blamed Yang Chen for it.
It’s all the other person’s fault for saying something hateful, otherwise he wouldn’t have said anything.
Looking at the current scene, Zhu Chong understood that there was absolutely no one who could save him.
The body kneeling on the ground had already stiffened.
He thought that he should not have come here at all. To be more precise, he should have stayed in his own fiefdom and not set foot in Nanjing City. This would have been the best option.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and it is too late for him to repent now.
On the stage, Zhu Yuanzhang has already transferred the reputation that damaged Zhu Biao onto himself.
At the same time, he was quite dissatisfied with the way Yang Chen expressed his views.
It was because his metaphor was so crude that even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn’t stand it. Who would use the word “slut” to describe the prince? Even if his son was bad, there was no need to compare him like this!
After organizing his thoughts, he quickly continued asking.
What kind of outrageous thing did this son do that made later generations have a special view of Zhu Biao?
“Ahem. Yang Chen, you said that the second brother did something bad. Can you tell me in detail how bad he was?”
Yang Chen was thinking in his mind and began to recall what Zhu Chong had done.
After a while, I sorted it out in my mind and then explained it in detail.
“There are many things involved. The first thing to say is that he is cruel and licentious. Ever since he married Deng, Deng thought that her status was lower than Wang’s, so she let the King of Qin bully her.
Relying on the fact that Wang had no relatives from her mother’s family, the King of Qin did as he was told.
Seeing that her husband really listened to her, the couple became more unscrupulous.
The two thought that the place was too small and there were too few people when they were having sex, so the King of Qin ordered people to make a lot of money and imposed strict taxes, squeezing the people out of their land, food, money and other valuables.
Afterwards, he started a large-scale construction project, building a dance hall and a singing stage. He thought that the Qin Palace you, Your Majesty, had built was too small.
When there were not enough people, they began to ask the people to apply for irregular labor service in advance. When the number of laborers was not enough, some military households were even asked to join in.
In this way, a mansion was built that was as luxurious as the capital.
He took concubines crazily, indulged in wine and women all day long, and even harmed the maid given to him by the queen. He favored her all day and night. As a result, Deng became jealous and directly chopped off the maid’s hands and abandoned her outside the palace to fend for herself. “
“Father! I didn’t! He is slandering me! He is slandering me!”
“Of course you haven’t, because you are only under house arrest now. The degree of promiscuity is definitely not so exaggerated, but it will be in the future.”
Zhu Chong, with his body stiff, fell into deep despair. He thought he still had a chance of survival.
Now, Yang Chen personally stepped forward and extinguished his hopes.
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry and felt a sharp pain on his face. He had made a promise to Queen Ma yesterday, but was slapped in the face by Yang Chen today.
“Let me ask you, did you do what Yang Chen said?”
“Say!”
Zhu Chong’s hesitation made Zhu Yuanzhang shout loudly.
“Second!”
Zhu Biao knew very well how angry his father was. If he didn’t answer quickly, he was afraid that the other party would come down and beat him up on the spot.
Zhu Chong, awakened by the words, quickly raised his tearful face.
“Father, I did do something, but I didn’t go that far!”
Upon learning that what Yang Chen said was true, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter out of anger.
“Good! Very good! We asked you to go to the frontier to guard the border, but you neglected your duties and used your power to commit crimes! I am really blind!
Second brother, you really know how to enjoy yourself. You expand your palace and indulge in women all day long. Let’s see, you want to live the life of King Zhou of Shang! We don’t even have such treatment. “
Zhu Yuanzhang’s words were full of sarcasm, and anyone who came could tell that he was keeping accounts.
Zhu Chong, who will be there later, didn’t dare to say anything about it.
The more you talk, the heavier the punishment you will receive.
Without wasting time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Yang Chen if there was anything else besides these.
“In addition to being cruel and licentious, the King of Qin did a lot of bad things. I will just briefly summarize them.”
