Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Chapter 6 What is Fatherly Love and Filial Piety?

"Clap clap clap!"

Inside the Wuying Palace, there was a burst of violent beating sounds.

The sole of the shoe in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand spun like a whirlwind, constantly hitting Zhu Chong's buttocks.

Zhu Chong's buttocks swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is because Zhu Chong and his men came suddenly and Zhu Yuanzhang was not prepared in advance.

Otherwise, what he would be hit by would not be the sole of a shoe, but a whip!

Zhu Yuanzhang's beating of Zhu Chong was obviously accelerated.

We have to speed up, Biaoer has already sent someone to call his mother.

As soon as the girl comes over, I can't come up with a legitimate reason for beating the child, so she will definitely stop me.

So I have to act quickly and beat her up before the girl arrives.

"Third brother, come here and get down!"

After giving Zhu Chong a burst of deep fatherly love like a storm, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have time to catch his breath before turning his attention to Prince of Jin Zhu Gang.

Prince Jin Zhu Gang, who was watching the fun there, was stunned for a moment.

what's going on?
Why do you still have your own things to do?
Are you watching the fun and then it happens to you?
Although his heart was filled with confusion, Zhu Gang's body very honestly reacted first.

He lay down on the ground very smoothly.

Just as he lay down on the ground, the sole of his shoe, which was wrapped in deep fatherly love, fell heavily to the ground.

To be honest, compared with the second brother and some others, what the third brother did was not excessive.

Study hard when you are in the capital.

After arriving at the local area and becoming a vassal, he was still very reliable.

I can basically do what I am told and I am not vague about the important things.

Apart from liking to sneak to Qinhuai River, there is nothing wrong with me.

It's a pity that he also walked ahead of me.

When he was seventy years old, his third brother fell ill and died.

Let yourself be heartbroken.

He lost another son in his old age.

Biao'er, the second and third children are all gone. These are all my and my sister's children...

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang beat the third brother was because of something the third brother did.

When he went to be enfeoffed, he sent his most trusted cook Xu Xingzu to him. However, he had a conflict with Xu Xingzu before he even arrived at the place.

Xu Xingzu was severely beaten in public.

Although this matter is quite infuriating, to be honest, Xu Xingzu does have a bad temper. The third brother said that his cooking was unpalatable and asked him to cook it again.

But Xu Xingzu refused, insisting that the meal should be cooked that way.

Even if I were to become the emperor, I would do the same.

There is no possibility of change...

Zhu Yuanzhang beat the third brother at this time not because he beat Xu Xingzu.

Instead, after beating Xu Xingzu, the third brother continued to let Xu Xingzu be responsible for his diet.

This is a fatal mistake.

What if Xu Xingzu held a grudge and poisoned him to death?

It's so easy for a cook to poison someone!
The person you must not offend the most is the cook.

Not to mention poisoning, even if he secretly spits in the food while cooking for you, it would be disgusting enough.

"Remember this! Be nicer to your personal guards, maids, cooks, and other people around you from now on!

If you can avoid using severe punishment, don’t use it!
If you really need to be punished, then after the punishment, you must drive away from him!
Never let it stay around again!
How did Zhang Fei die? You have no idea?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang hit Zhu Gang three times with the soles of his shoes, he looked at Zhu Gang and asked him to explain.

"There are a few more of you, remember them all! If you can't remember, I'll beat you to death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Chong while holding the sole of his shoe, and Zhu Chong and the others gave him stern instructions.

The old father's momentum and majesty are undoubtedly displayed!
Several people nodded.

"Father, you are right, but... I have never done anything to harshly criticize a servant!"

The third brother said with some confusion and grievance.

"We know!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's answer was justified.

Do you still fight when you know it?
The third child was almost split apart by his own father.

"We're beating you to make you remember better. It's a good thing to do, and you need to keep doing it later!"

As he spoke, he slapped his opponent with two more shoe soles.

Zhu Gang immediately shut up and said no more. This... after all, the emperor is the father. What he said is right.

Zhu Gang felt bad.

It wasn’t because he was beaten by his father for no reason, but because the bitch Fourth Brother was sick and didn’t come this time.

He was rarely beaten, but the bitch Lao Si escaped.

Given this bitch's incompatible personality, she will definitely laugh at me when she finds out that I was beaten.

He was an outstanding student who ranked first in the main hall, but was laughed at by the fourth student who was always at the bottom of the class. The thought of this made him feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, he could already hear the smug laughter of the fourth guy.

How could this guy, Lao Si, be so lucky to be sick at this time...

Zhu Yuanzhang moved away from the third brother and prepared to beat the fourth brother.

This was also the person he wanted to smoke, and he couldn't wait.

He really didn't expect that the fourth brother would become Emperor Yongle.

He wanted to beat the fourth brother, not because he had usurped the throne and seized his nephew's kingdom, but because of something else...

The soles of the shoes in his hands were ready to go, ready to let the fourth child experience the father's love as high as a mountain.

But it turned out that the fourth brother was not there.

After a moment of hesitation, he remembered that the fourth brother was ill and did not attend the court meeting. This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little regretful...

He immediately decided to take note of this meal first, and then beat Lao Si after he finished today's work!

Do you think you can escape this beating just because you are sick?

How can it be!

Is Emperor Hongwu the kind of person who doesn't hold grudges?

……

In Kunning Palace, Empress Ma, who received the report, was stunned for a moment and then immediately began to look around.

A moment later, holding a feather duster in a bag, he hurried all the way to Wuying Palace!
……

"Lao Wu, get up, it's none of your business."

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled up Zhu Su, who had already fallen down before Zhu Yuanzhang could even open his mouth.

In modern times, he learned that his fifth son was self-taught and had made remarkable achievements in medicine.

In the fourth year of Yongle, the book "Herbal Medicine for Famine Relief" was compiled, which recorded 414 species of wild vegetation, of which nearly 300 were new.

In the book, Lao Wu recorded in detail their origin, name, shape characteristics, nature and taste, as well as how to eat them.

Later, he also took medical prescriptions from ancient and modern times, examined them in detail, and compiled "Puji Fang", many of which were adopted by Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica"!

It was highly praised by later generations, and Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly pleased.

Now back to the eighth year of Hongwu, knowing that many of his relatives and ministers had died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang valued his son who was obsessed with medicine even more.

"You've done a great job. Since you like medicine, then go for it. No need to hide it anymore. Just study it openly. Medicine is the right path. We support you!"

He touched Lao Wu's head and spoke gently.

I felt this sudden fatherly love, especially when I heard my father say that medicine is the right way and that my father supports you.

Lao Wu was suddenly stunned, as if countless things suddenly rushed into his chest, making his eyes red and his lips tremble uncontrollably.

Only he himself knew how conflicted and tormented he felt when he was secretly studying medical books!

On the one hand, the medical skills he liked were vulgar and not suitable for people of their status to learn.

On the other hand, it is also my father's expectation that I and others will achieve success in both culture and martial arts...

At this moment, I suddenly received praise and support from my father. This feeling... is so good!!!
"Sixth Brother, you get up too!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled up the sixth son Zhu Zhen.

The sixth brother did a very good job during the Hongwu period, and made great efforts after he was enfeoffed in Wuchang.

Such a good son naturally cannot be beaten.

The seventh brother, Prince Qi Zhu Yu, was extremely worried when he saw his two elder brothers being beaten in succession, fearing that his father would also beat him.

Now I see that Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother were not beaten.

I felt relieved immediately.

If a guy like Lao Liu didn't get beaten, then I definitely won't get beaten either.

Just as he was thinking this, the sole of a shoe hit him hard on the butt.

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his ten-year-old son to the ground and started beating him violently.

The seventh brother was not like his two older brothers who were beaten earlier. He could endure the beating without saying a word.

He was young and not someone who could endure hardship, and Old Zhu didn't lie when he beat him.

He suddenly let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Father, Father, we can't fight anymore. The Seventh Brother is still young..."

Zhu Biao was so anxious that tears came to his eyes.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to smoke.

If it weren't for him, this guy Lao Qi would be a nuisance.

After he became a vassal, he caused unrest in Qi and many people suffered.

For example, he started a large-scale construction to expand his Prince Qi's Palace.

Many people's houses were forcibly demolished without any compensation or any arrangements for their replacement...

"You beast! If you don't behave yourself next time, I'll beat you to death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed angrily, left the seventh brother behind and went to beat the eighth brother.

Although the eighth child was the youngest among the group, only seven years old, Zhu Yuanzhang beat him the hardest.

When I beat Lao Ba, my eyes turned red!
This guy didn't do anything excessive after he came to the local area to be enfeoffed, but it made Zhu Yuanzhang even more angry.

Because what this bastard did was even more inhumane than what his brothers did!
According to historical records handed down, this beast was uneasy because his uncle was involved in the Hu Weiyong case and was killed.

As his father, I ordered him to return to the capital. Then this beast was so frightened that he burned himself to death along with the princess!

He was twenty-three years old at the time.

But Zhu Yuanzhang knew better than anyone that this was only a superficial reason, and this reason was made up by himself as a father.

There is no way to let outsiders know the real reason.

Not to mention being recorded in history books!

This bastard is really capable and a real beast!
Actually... actually, he defiled the palace before he even became a vassal!!!
It started in my teens!

This is the harem of a father like me!

How could one tolerate Zhu Yuanzhang's temper and personality?

This is also the reason why this beast was so scared that he set himself on fire when he learned that he had been summoned back to the palace.

Otherwise, how could a mere brother-in-law being involved in the Hu Weiyong case scare him so much?
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to think about these things. He felt like he was going to explode when he thought about them!
That's why he beat Zhu Zi, that bastard, so hard that he looked like a madman.

Zhu Zi was beaten half to death.

Zhu Biao waited for a while and saw that his father did not stop beating the Eighth Prince with an attitude of beating him to death. He hurriedly tried to persuade him and pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's arm to stop him from beating him.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were red. He pushed Zhu Biao away and then beat him hard.

Seeing that Lao Ba was about to faint from the pain, Zhu Biao prepared to lie on top of Lao Ba and protect him with his body.

At this moment, the tightly closed door of Wuying Palace was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Zhu Chongba! Stop it right there!!!"
