Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't write a clear imperial edict to Zhu Rong, he had verbally agreed to Zhu Rong's proposal to build roads in his fief.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, this was just a moment of anger, and it was impossible for Zhu to really build a road on his fief. After all, building a road was also a big project that required a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
Even the imperial court had no money. As a vassal king who had just arrived, how could he have the money to support such a huge project?
However, Zhu Rong did not care about this. Zhu Yuanzhang's words in a moment of anger were like an imperial edict to him.
The emperor's father asked us to repair the road, so we have no choice but to repair it!
Regardless of whether he was speaking out of anger or not, Zhu Rong could be considered to be justified now and was ordered to repair the road!
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a fit of anger. He looked at Zhu Rong and was filled with anger. He waved his hand and shouted,"What are you waiting for? Men! Take him out!"
Two guards immediately walked in from outside the hall and carried Zhu Rong out from the left and right.
"Father!" Zhu Rong cried. Your son can't bear to part with Imperial Father!"
The two guards only listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, but no matter how much he wailed, they forcefully dragged him out of the hall.
The officials kneeling on the ground secretly tilted their heads and looked at each other.
Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, and the others shook their heads helplessly. This Seventh Prince was too young and did not understand the dangers of the imperial court. This time, he was probably used by someone!
Just from his performance today, he knew that this kid would not be able to achieve anything great!
Who would stand behind him and support him to fight for the position of Crown Prince?!
Ridiculous, simply absurd!
Zhu Yuanzhang had always attached great importance to his descendants. As for Zhu Rong, although he wasn't allowed to participate in too many court affairs, as a father, he loved him very much and cared for him.
If he had not brought this upon himself, he would not be in such a sorry state today.
The Seventh Prince was the most miserable of the princes. The Emperor had personally ordered his guards to carry him out of the palace and immediately banished him to his fief. This was unprecedented!
As for the words of a ruler, once Zhu Yuanzhang said it, it was impossible to change it.
The future of the Seventh Prince was very bleak. It was almost impossible for him to return to the court, where the power struggle was the fiercest, and participate in the state affairs.
Two guards dragged Zhu Xi out of the hall.
Zhu Xiong kept wailing, but it was all thunder and no rain. He didn't even shed a tear.
When he was far away from the hall, he stood up straight and shouted to the guard,"Hey, hey, hey! Let go! Let go! I'll walk by myself!"
The two guards looked at each other and were instantly dumbfounded.
Just now, the Seventh Prince was still wailing like a ghost and howling like a wolf, with a sorrowful expression. Why did he suddenly change his face?
There was no longer any sadness on his face. It was clearly replaced by a happy smile!
This change in attitude was simply faster than flipping through a book!
For a moment, the two guards were dumbfounded.
Could it be that the Seventh Prince had become crazy and abnormal after suffering such a great calamity?
Thinking of this, the two guards shook their heads secretly. There was a pitiful look in their eyes.
Regardless of what the two guards were thinking, Zhu Xiong left the palace happily with his hands behind his back, humming a tune, and headed straight for the Qi Dynasty!
After Zhu Xi was carried out, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di spoke to Zhu Yuanzhang, asking him to show mercy and retract his order.
In reality, he was just putting on a show to show the emperor his brotherly love.
Because they knew that the Emperor's words were golden words. The words that had been spoken and the water that had been poured out could not be taken back at will.
When the ministers saw this, they also pretended to plead for mercy, asking Zhu Yuanzhang to retract his order, saying that Zhu Rong was still young and was confused for a moment.
But in reality, the ministers hoped that the Seventh Prince would quickly arrive at his fief and not return to the court!
This place was not suitable for him.
Today was his first offense, and he was still young, so Zhu Yuanzhang would not do anything to him. If he followed the Emperor every day, he would talk loudly and try to shake the foundation of the country.
The fate of the Seventh Prince would only be worse. If things went wrong, the Emperor might even suspect that some officials were secretly instigating him, implicating them.
Although they were shouting for the Emperor to retract his order, they were secretly relieved in their hearts.
This God of Plagues had finally left!
Just now, in the Imperial Court, Zhu Rong had emphasized on the importance of merchants and also wanted to lift the ban on the sea, which had frightened all the ministers. Fortunately, it was the Seventh Prince. If it had been an ordinary minister, the Emperor would have killed him directly!
When the harem learned of the news, the court session had already ended.
When Consort Da Ding, Zhu Xi's mother, heard the news, she almost fainted.
Previously, they said that they would only be in Qi after three years. Consort Da Ding was not mentally prepared at all. How could she, as a mother, accept her son leaving her side all of a sudden?
Consort Da Ding forced herself to calm down and immediately ran over to Zhu Xi's mother, Empress Ma, to plead for mercy.
When Empress Ma heard the news, she was also shocked and immediately ran to ask Zhu Yuanzhang what was going on.
Empress Ma's words carried a lot of weight for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Moreover, Empress Ma was Zhu Rong's mother, so it was not too much for her to ask about this matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still in a fit of anger. He angrily recounted what had happened in the imperial court and reprimanded Empress Ma."It's all your fault. You're usually spoiled and arrogant. Look at what he has taught Seventh Sister!!”
After Empress Ma heard this, she was also dumbfounded."What is it? He actually wanted to lift the ban on the sea, and he even wanted to pay attention to merchants and let them become officials in the court?!”
When Empress Ma heard this, her face turned pale with fright.
Which bastard gave Old Seventh this rotten idea? It was all thanks to Old Zhu's family that valued bloodline. If it was another dynasty, even if they did not kill him, they might be thrown into prison!
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily," That's not all. This kid is still clamoring to rebuild the official road in the entire Ming Dynasty. He even said that the road will not be muddy during rainy seasons. Isn't this nonsense?"
I have never seen such a public road in this world. According to what he said, hmph hmph, this kind of official road could only exist in the heavens. How could it be built in the human world?!”
Empress Ma originally wanted to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, but after knowing the whole story, she sighed in her heart. There was probably nothing he could do about this matter!
She could only go back and persuade Consort Da Ding: " Old Seventh must have been bewitched by a treacherous official. The Emperor had already let him off by banishing him to his fief. He did not punish him for his crimes." Don't be sad. Hurry up and pack up some money. Get someone to chase after him and send it to him.”
Consort Da Ding sobbed." In Qi, even the manor of the Fan King hasn't been built yet. Aiya, where do you think this child will live if he goes?"”
