The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 116 Wetting one's pants in court, the first person in history to do so.

Zhu Xiong Ying slapped him across the face, making Zhu Yun Wen see stars.

Some officials from the civil service group standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhu Xiong Ying actually committed murder in front of all of them, and in the imperial court no less—such a thing was unheard of.

Zhu Yunwen was someone they valued, but now he has completely lost face.

Moreover, such an incident was extremely damaging to Zhu Yunwen.

He was just a child to begin with, and I heard that he had already developed a trauma in Zhu Xiong Ying. Now, after this incident, it's uncertain whether he can recover in the future, let alone lead his civil service group to a higher level.

The likelihood of this happening is probably much lower.

Some civil servants are even considering finding other partners.

"This slap is for your filial impiety. This is an order personally issued by your imperial grandfather. How dare you question it?"

"This time, it's because Grandfather isn't here. If he were here, how would you explain it to him?"

"Your grandfather and father never treated you badly because you were born out of wedlock. In fact, you were treated the same as me, the grandson of the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. How can you face them with such behavior?"

"Grandpa Huang and your father taught you so much, and even hired the best teachers in the entire Ming Dynasty for you. They thought you had some talent, but after all these years you haven't improved at all and are still such a good-for-nothing!"

These words thoroughly berated Zhu Yunwen, but Zhu Yunwen was already terrified and had no other thoughts. He stood there frozen, not daring to utter a single word.

Just when everyone thought it was over.

"Snapped!"

Another voice came over.

It turned out that Zhu Xiong Ying had slapped Zhu Yun Wen again.

"I slapped you for disrespecting your elder brother. As your elder brother, everything I have done is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. It's not a big deal if you don't understand. But you shouldn't have dragged me down, and even used your insignificant knowledge to question me!"

"Snapped!"

Another slap came.

"This slap is for your betrayal and cowardice!"

“Every member of the Zhu family of the Great Ming Dynasty is a dragon among men. Whether it is Grandpa Huang, Father, or even several uncles, they are all outstanding talents of their time. But what about you? You associate with disreputable people every day. What have you become? Moreover, the people of the Zhu family have always been courageous and responsible. Even if the axe is brought upon them, they will not change their minds. But what about you? You actually wet your pants in the Fengtian Hall. It is truly hateful. How could the Zhu family have given birth to such a piece of trash as you!”

The woman, who had just gotten up from the ground, was stunned by what she heard.

Regardless of whether what he said earlier was right or wrong, he admitted it anyway, so it's not a big deal.

However, he was extremely dissatisfied with what was said.

What does it mean to associate with shady people every day?

Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince was referring to him? The Lü family is, after all, a prominent and powerful clan, and he himself has risen to the position of Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

How many people in the world possess such skill, yet they have to endure such humiliation? It is truly hateful.

"Snapped!"

Another voice came over; this was the fourth one already.

The civil and military officials in the court trembled with fear, for after all, it was someone else's family matter, and they really couldn't interfere.

No matter which god or minister Green Book was pleading for help with, he would instinctively lower his head.

However, after being slapped, Zhu Xiong Ying froze on the spot. He seemed to have no other reason and suddenly got stuck, which was somewhat embarrassing.

It was purely because I felt good about the first three slaps that I slapped him again.

At this point, Zhu Yunwen was so badly beaten that he was seeing stars.

"As for this last slap, think carefully about why I hit you when you get back. Although I promised your aunt that you could attend court, it wasn't so you could embarrass yourself there. Alright, now get back home!"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned by the slap. At this moment, he could not think of other things. Now, the Tang Dynasty was like a den of wolves and tigers, a hellish place.

And Zhu Xiong Ying is that devil who takes souls.

After Zhu Yunwen left, Zhu Xiong Ying looked at the civil and military officials in the court.

"My esteemed ministers, do you have any other thoughts?"

The court officials lowered their heads, and not one of them spoke. Things had developed to this point, and it was no longer something they could resolve.

Although this was not in their best interests, Zhu Yuanzhang supported Zhu Xiong Ying and secured military power.

Thinking of this, no one said a word and could only reluctantly accept it.

Inside the East Palace.

Lady Lü was furious when she saw Zhu Yunwen's face swollen like a pig's head.

"How could that little brat Zhu Xiong Ying be so cruel? They are both sons of the Crown Prince, and although they are not blood brothers, they share the same father. How could he be so vicious?"

Zhu Yunwen sobbed softly, and you didn't say a word, as if you were stunned by fear.

Lady Lü was deeply distressed. She hurriedly sought out her father, Lü Ben, and was shocked to learn the truth.

Is Zhu Yunwen out of his mind?
It's unbelievable that such words could be uttered.

After he went to court, I repeatedly told him to talk less and do more, and to keep an eye on this guy. Why didn't he listen?

A sinister glint flashed in Lu's eyes.

"No, this matter absolutely cannot be left like this!"

After getting out of bed, Zhu Xiong Ying went straight back to the Hall of Diligent Governance, where he saw Zhu Bai, Liu Sanwu, and others still struggling to handle affairs.

Zhu Xiong Ying suddenly felt sorry for these people; the mountain of memorials was not something that could be easily dealt with.

Thinking about this, Zhu Xiong Ying considered whether to add a few more people to share the burden with them.

Just then, a sound came from outside.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's concubine, Lady Lü, has come to pay her respects!"

Zhu Xiong Ying frowned. Why was the Crown Prince's concubine here at this time? She was probably here to vent her anger on behalf of one of his beloved sons.

When Lady Lü arrived at the Hall of Diligent Governance, she looked at Zhu Xiong Ying in front of her with gritted teeth, wishing she could devour him.

If I had known this guy was so difficult to deal with, I should have poisoned him along with me in the first place.

But he still kept smiling.

"Xiongying, your brother has caused you trouble. This is all my fault, and I've come to apologize to you!"

Zhu Xiong Ying was taken aback when he heard this. He couldn't help but think to himself, "This is a clever move by the Lü family. On the surface, they came to apologize, but they put themselves on the side of righteousness."
