Zhu Yuanzhang, who commanded the wind and rain, lived a long and arduous life.

The man's face turned purple from the pain.

Having learned his lesson earlier, he didn't dare say a word, only shaking his head in fear.

"Aren't you going to say anything?"

Zhang Yishi shook his head, then squinted at the refugees: "I have something to say, listen to me. The one who interrupted... I think he will regret it later."

All the refugees around were instantly filled with fear and trepidation.

They had met Zhang Yishi, and it was openly Zhang Yishi who was running Tianyun Temple.

Although Zhang Yishi seems difficult to deal with, he is a Taoist from Longhu Mountain.

The Taoism of Longhu Mountain has always had an excellent reputation and has helped many people. Now, Zhang Yishi has suddenly revealed such a violent side and acted so ruthlessly, which instantly made the crowd tremble with fear.

Zhang Yishi smiled and scanned the crowd.

"Tianyun Temple only needs fifty people, no more and no less. Those who were just selected by Tianyun Temple can leave if they don't want to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples of Tianyun Temple began searching for the person they had previously chosen.

They were all elderly, weak, women and children.

The hard and tiring work at Tianyun Temple was done by the skilled workers, while the elderly, women, and children were brought in to assist them.

There were fifty people in total, including the elderly, women, and children, and none of them left.

Zhang Yi led the group toward Tianyun Temple.

The disciples of Tianyun Temple followed closely behind.

Perhaps because they had gone far enough away from the refugees, one of them shouted, "Longhu Mountain is unworthy of its great name!"

This sound made everyone stop, including Zhang Yishi.

He turned around and looked at the hundreds of refugees.

"Uncle-Master, should we find that person?"

A disciple of Tianyun Temple inquired.

Zhang Yishi smiled and shook his head: "No need, let's go."

The group left again.

Some people cursed Longhu Mountain and it was alright, which emboldened some of the hundreds of refugees, who then joined in with their own curses.

"Longhu Mountain, I want to tell the government that you are oppressing the people!"

"It's nothing, he didn't do anything, why would he break someone's shoulder!"

"Hitting someone without apologizing or offering compensation is worse than robbery!"

"......."

There was a great deal of abuse.

One day, a disciple of the Yun Temple couldn't bear to watch any longer and asked Zhang Yi what to do. In the end, he could only give a four-word answer.

[Acting in accordance with religious rules.]

Taoist rules and regulations of Longhu Mountain.

The two-word theme is: follow your heart.

For example, if I don't like you, I'll hit you; if I have a grudge against you, I'll definitely take revenge.

Don't keep your grievances to yourself.

You want to come and learn the Way, that's your choice, not my invitation. You do what you want, and I'll do what I want to do.

As for the bad reputation or other negative publicity that this might cause, the Longhu Mountain Taoist sect will not care, and will even stand on the side of its own disciples.

This has always been the established rule, and in Zhu Changye's lineage, these two words have been taken to their extreme.

Moreover, Zhu Changye was extremely protective of his own children, a trait that Zhu Yuanzhang had almost ingrained in his very being, which he learned from Zhu Changye when he was a child.

now,

Zhang Yishi had already dislocated the man's arm and no longer harbored any resentment.

However, some of the other disciples of Tianyun Temple, upon hearing their master's words, turned around and walked towards the group of refugees, dragging out the one who had been cursing them out and beating him.

Immediately, the scene became somewhat chaotic.

And those refugees no longer dared to hurl insults at him.

….….….….….…

The three members of the Zhu family, grandfather, grandfather, and grandson, who were standing not far away and had witnessed everything, couldn't help but twitch their faces.

"Damn it! The ruthlessness in these Taoists is just like ours!"

Zhu Yuanzhang found it extremely pleasing to the eye.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Xiong Ying Yunwen, learn from that Taoist madman's spirit, understand?"

Zhu Xiong Ying and Zhu Yun Wen both nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and continued, "These people are like weeds, the easiest to govern, yet also the most difficult to govern."

"To govern the people, simply showing them kindness won't work; you have to know how to use both kindness and severity. Everyone knows how kind Longhu Mountain is, and its severity has just been shown. It's really good, hahaha, just what we like!"

"Xiongying, from now on you should follow your master and learn well. He definitely has a lot of knowledge in his belly, so learn it all for us."

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded: "Grandpa, I understand."

"Grandpa, my uncles have all returned to Tianyun Temple. Shall we go with them?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "No, we have to go back to the palace."

"Ah? Why."

"Go deal with the refugee issue. We've only been out for a short while and we've already encountered a riot by refugees. This is just the beginning. More refugees and homeless people will flood in later. I wonder what they'll do to Yingtian Prefecture. We can't delay this matter. Let's go back and deal with it now."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he bid farewell to Zhu Xiong Ying.

After Zhu Yuanzhang left, Zhu Yunwen had no interest in lingering outside the palace and returned to the palace with Zhu Yuanzhang.

….….….….….…

Yingtian Prefecture, Eastern Palace.

"Mother, tell me, what did I do wrong?"

After returning to the Eastern Palace, Zhu Yunwen recounted to Lady Lü every detail of his time with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yunwen still can't understand why his father got so angry when his eldest son, Xiong Ying, gave him steamed buns and he said he would fight for justice.

Where is the mistake?

Where exactly is the mistake in this statement?!

Didn't you see that later, the Taoists recruited people to repair the Taoist temples because they wanted to help those refugees, and then those refugees started cursing at them?

In fact, it even ruined his reputation.

It's like doing good deeds and getting scolded and resented.

So at the time he said that the eldest brother was so brave and valiant, why did the old man get angry?

Zhu Yunwen thought about it all the way, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Silly boy."

After listening, Madam Lü squatted down, smiled, and stroked her son's head gently, saying, "I guessed that if you talked too much, your grandfather would scold you, so I told you not to say anything other than filial piety."

"Your royal grandfather doted on U.A. so much, and liked him very much, so whatever he did was right."

"He doesn't pamper you much, so whatever you do, he thinks it's wrong."

"If it weren't for your royal grandmother constantly reminding your royal grandfather to treat everyone equally, your royal grandfather wouldn't even bother to look at us, mother and son."

"Your royal grandfather is so biased!"

With her last words, Lady Lü's face turned cold.

She studied Zhu Yuanzhang her whole life, and sometimes she understood him better than he understood himself.

Although Empress Ma often urged the old man to treat everyone equally.

But in practice, the old man could never be impartial, and he always favored Zhu Xiong Ying by a great deal.

With such differential treatment, how could she not hate Zhu Yuanzhang?

Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth, somewhat jealous: "Why does my grandfather dote on Xiong Ying so much?"

Lu said coldly, "Who knows? Maybe he prefers that brat Xiong Ying."

She doesn't know either.

However, she did know that some people, even if they had never met before, could feel an instant connection and develop a fondness for each other upon their first meeting.

I imagine that U.A. and his grandfather were probably similar.

This is force majeure.

Now, in addition to being pampered by his grandfather, U.A. High School also has a sage to guide him, making him even more difficult to contend with.

She had heard from her son that the immortal taught Xiong Ying how to be a person and how to cultivate masculinity.

Lady Lü sighed, "Indeed, if you still want to help your son reach that position, there's a long way to go."
