Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Chapter 24 Are you surprised?

"Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, the Prince of Jin, and the Prince of Yan have gone to Wuying Palace."

In Wenhua Hall, Eunuch Zhang reported to Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

After receiving this news, Zhu Biao became restless. He put down the memorial, quickly left the Wenhua Hall, and went to the Wuying Hall.

Zhu Biao was also very busy. He listened to lectures from teachers such as Song Lian in the morning and studied and handled government affairs in the afternoon.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's order, some less difficult government affairs would be sent to Wenhua Hall by the Secretariat for Zhu Biao to handle.

After Zhu Biao processed it, he sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang for review.

If there was anything inappropriate, Zhu Yuanzhang would point it out and teach Zhu Biao step by step.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang really spared no effort in cultivating Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao reacted so strongly at this time because he was deeply impressed by the fact that his father beat up his younger brothers on New Year's Day.

I was worried that my younger brothers would be beaten again by their father at this time.

Last time, even though I was protecting my younger brothers, they were still beaten so badly.

If I wasn't around, I don't know how I would have been beaten.

However, after walking forward hurriedly for a while, Zhu Biao slowed down again.

I feel like I'm a little confused because of my concern.

My father just beat the second and third brothers the day before yesterday, and was beaten by my mother for it. My younger brothers’ injuries haven’t healed yet.

They are all very well behaved and will definitely not make any mistakes again. Father will definitely not beat them again.

When this thought arose, Zhu Biao's mood suddenly became relaxed.

He even wanted to go straight back to Wenhua Hall to deal with the memorials.

However, seeing that he had already walked so far, Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and continued to head towards Wuying Palace.

Even if the younger brothers don't get beaten, it would be nice to go and meet them and talk to them.

As you grow older, there are more and more things you need to do.

The time he spent with his younger brothers, whom he had raised, was also decreasing...

……

"Let them all come in."

In the Wuying Hall, after receiving the report from Eunuch Wang, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and let Zhu Di and others in.

He put down the memorial and started to take the time to do stretching exercises.

Prepare for beating the fourth brother next.

No matter what, the fourth brother can't escape this beating.

This missing fatherly love must be made up for him!
"I greet the Emperor and wish him well!"

After Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di arrived at the Wuying Hall, they respectfully saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and greeted him.

The few people who were talking and laughing just now and looked very energetic, now became very honest when facing his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's like a mouse seeing a cat.

The image of Zhu Yuanzhang as a "kind father" was deeply imprinted in their minds.

Especially Zhu Di, he was as well-behaved as he could be at this time.

I tried hard to make myself invisible so that my father wouldn't notice me.

This time, he no longer sought praise from his father. For him, as long as he could avoid being beaten by his father, it would be a huge victory.

From now on, I can continue to make fun of the third brother.

These days, I've been using this matter to bully the third brother and suppress this bitch everywhere. It feels so good.

And I have done very well during this period of time and have never made any mistakes.

My father will never have an excuse to beat me.

So, I will definitely win this time!
For a long time afterwards, I was able to surpass the third one.

These thoughts flashed through Zhu Di's mind quickly, making Zhu Di, who had a serious face, smile in his heart.

"We're fine!"

Zhu Yuanzhang responded and his eyes fell on his three sons who lowered their heads.

To be precise, the responsibility mainly fell on Zhu Di.

Looking at Zhu Di, who was tall and strong but lowered his head and pretended to be a good boy, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood suddenly became uneasy.

In modern times, many of the things that I knew about the fourth brother's actions quickly came to my mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang began to accumulate anger.

"Old Four, you still have the nerve to laugh! I didn't beat you up last time, did I?
Look at how proud you are! "

Zhu Yuanzhang named him directly.

"Uh……"

Zhu Di, who was feeling very proud and smiling in his heart, was stunned when he heard his father's words.

My body couldn't help but tremble. ???

What's going on?

Is the Emperor really going to beat me?!
But I really haven’t made any mistakes recently!

Also, I was clearly lowering my head with a serious expression, trying hard to make myself inconspicuous. How did my father know that I was smiling?

Senseless!

Completely confused!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the fourth brother's reaction and smiled secretly.

Others don’t know that Lao Si is a natural actor. He looks rough on the outside but is actually delicate on the inside, and his performances are extremely realistic and leave no trace.

How could I, as a father, not know this?
To be honest, seeing the modern records of the fourth brother acting crazy, sleeping in a pigsty, and even competing with pigs for food, even his old father was stunned.

I was really surprised.

The fourth brother's actions successfully deceived Zhu Yunwen's people, making them think that the fourth brother was really crazy.

It was then that Zhu Yuanzhang realized that such a movie star-level person had appeared in his family!

With Lao Si's acting skills, if he came to modern times to film a movie, he would definitely beat many young actors.

In addition, he knew that when the third and fourth children got together, they would want to compete to see who could pee farther.

At this time, it was not surprising that the serious-looking fourth brother was actually very happy.

"Come here! Get down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Di's surprise and took off his shoe soles, holding them and pointing them at Zhu Di.

The holy light of a loving father emanates from his whole body.

Zhu Di was completely confused. No... was his father really going to fight?
In a daze, my body reacted automatically and fell to the ground very smoothly.

The joys and sorrows of each person are not the same.

The third prince of Jin, Zhu Gang, was already filled with intense surprise.

Is Father really going to beat up the fourth child?!

Hahaha, this is great!
Let the bitch Lao Si still show off!

He has been very angry these days.

Now the offensive and defensive situation has changed!

On the way here, the fourth brother said that if he got beaten up, he would take his last name...

Hehehe...

If it weren't for the wrong occasion and the fear of his father taking his father's anger out on him and giving him a few slaps with his shoes, Zhu Gang would definitely have laughed out loud.

"Clap clap clap..."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't show any courtesy at all. He swung his shoe and started beating him hard.

Among all his sons, the one who surprised him the most was definitely the fourth son.

In modern times, when I first learned that Emperor Yongle was the fourth son and that the fourth son became emperor through rebellion, I was shocked.

Waves of anger surged up in him, and he felt that the fourth brother had been treated like a beast.

I just wish I could chop the fourth one to pieces.

But then, after quickly searching for information and learning the whole story of the fourth brother's rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion changed drastically.

The fourth brother was right to rebel!
No! It's not a rebellion, the fourth brother is the Fengtian Rebellion!

If I were the fourth son, I would also quell the rebellion against that beast Zhu Yunwen!

His own reign title was Hongwu, and this grandson named it Jianwen. Isn't this clearly an attempt to go against him as his grandfather?

He himself had clearly stipulated that the Minister of Revenue could not be from Jiangnan, but as soon as this beast became emperor, he appointed someone from there as the Minister of Revenue.

Then, very quickly, the taxes in Jiangnan were lowered to the same level as in the Northwest!
Damn it!
The wealthy Jiangnan region is the purse and granary of the Ming Dynasty. Located far away in the safe rear, there is no need to worry about the suffering of war.

Places like the northwestern border are inherently cold and harsh, with few resources. They have been occupied and ravaged by the Tartars for a long time, and have long been severely damaged.

They also have to shoulder many important tasks such as combat and border defense.

In terms of output, ten border areas are not as good as one province in Jiangnan.

But when it came to the lifeless Zhu Yunwen, he actually required this remote area to pay the same taxes as the wealthy areas in the south of the Yangtze River!

How many times must someone have been kicked in the head by a donkey to be stupid enough to do such a thing?

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the many stupid things this beast has done!
Fortunately, the fourth brother raised an army to quell the rebellion and was successful.

Get rid of this idiot.

And then, he forcefully suppressed these Jiangnan literati and scholars who were trying to cause chaos.

Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty, to which he had poured all his efforts, might have perished in the second generation!
To be honest, after the fourth prince became emperor, he did a lot of good things.

Looking through the history books of his Ming Dynasty, among so many emperors, he was the best, followed by the fourth emperor, whom he had always trained as a general.

But Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to pick the fourth one.

It's not because the fourth brother rebelled in the future, but because of something else...
