"I, I…should die, I shouldn't have offended His Highness…"
After all, Lee Shan Chang was a Duke. The guards who had beaten him up did not dare to kill him. Even so, Lee Shan Chang was already on the verge of death.
His face was covered in tears and blood. He spat out a mouthful of blood with difficulty and begged for mercy.
At this moment, he was so regretful that he wanted to die.
He didn't want to know why Zhu Yuanzhang didn't act according to his expectations.
There was only regret left in his heart, endless regret.
If he could travel back to the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he only wanted to slap himself hard and warn himself not to provoke the imperial grandson.
He really couldn't afford to offend them.
Zhu Yuanzhang's protection of the imperial grandson had already surpassed common sense and reached an abnormal level!
Zhu Xiongying was the reverse scale of this old dragon, Zhu Yuanzhang. Whoever touched him would die!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly,""Drag him out and parade him through the streets. Then, write a ten thousand word letter to apologize to the imperial grandson! As an example!"
"Yes, yes…"
A dignified Duke was actually being dragged out and paraded through the streets. This was simply a naked humiliation.
But now, Lee Shan Chang and the others felt as if they had been pardoned. After all, if they continued to be beaten, he felt like he was really going to be beaten to death.
Even though they lost face, they could at least save their lives.
He tried his best to get up, but he could not get up at all. He could only be carried out with difficulty by the guards.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the ministers and said,"
"We won't kill Li Shan Chang, not because of his status as a Duke, but because we want him to be a living example. In the future, if anyone dares to criticize the Imperial Grandson, they can go and listen to Li Shan Chang's repentance!”
Instantly, the entire place fell silent. The ministers held their breaths and did not dare to speak.
The scene just now had deeply shocked them.
Those who were punished were not small officials.
The leader was Li Shan Chang, the leader of Huaixi's nobility, one of the six founding dukes. Even Zhu Yuanzhang had personally said that Li Shan Chang was his Xiao He, and even surpassed Xiao He.
However, such a person was still beaten half-dead and humiliated as a living example!
To a civil official, this was worse than death.
And just because he impeached Zhu Xiongying…
This was too terrifying…
Although everyone knew that Zhu Yuanzhang loved Zhu Xiongying, it seemed that his love for Zhu Xiongying had reached an unbelievable level…
Lan Yu stood up in high spirits and looked at the other officials with a threatening expression."Your Majesty is right. In the future, if anyone dares to criticize His Highness, the one who will be executed will not be the guards, but me!”
Everyone agreed softly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression turned ugly as he snorted,""Retreat!"
This afternoon court session ended in a somber atmosphere without discussing any political affairs…
The officials left the hall cautiously. The first thing they did after leaving was to warn their subordinates not to provoke Zhu Xiong Ying.
Because once they were provoked, not only would their subordinates suffer, but even the officials themselves would die.
Zhu Xiongying was the absolute forbidden zone of the Ming Dynasty. Whoever moved would die!
At this time, Zhu Xiong Ying did not know that because of him, a storm of blood had been stirred up in the imperial court.
At this moment, he was in Pengzu grotto-heaven, staring at the pill furnace in front of him with some anticipation.
The surface of the pill furnace was covered with beast patterns, and the bottom was burning with raging flames.
This was a pill furnace left behind by the Great Peng Ancestor, and it could be used to refine immortal pills. The flame was the True Samadhi Fire, and it could be ignited with spiritual energy.
Just now, when Zhu Xiong Ying came back, he immediately followed Peng Zu's pill refining method and placed all the ingredients into the pill.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was only a low-level pill, and using this Pengzu Pill Furnace and the True Samadhi Fire to refine it was even more effective.
"Success!"
Zhu Xiong Ying counted the time with his fingers, and his face suddenly lit up.
He raised his hand and waved it, and the three flames slowly extinguished.
After opening the pill furnace, a rich medicinal fragrance immediately drifted over. Inside the pill furnace, there were ten thumb-sized pills lying quietly.
However, three of them were charred black, and the other seven were of different sizes.
"I'm still not familiar enough."
Zhu Xiong Ying felt somewhat regretful. After all, this was his first time refining pills, so he had made some mistakes.
He did not know how effective the medicine was and whether it could reach the foundation establishment realm.
He had to find someone to test the medicinal effects before he could make improvements and raise his pill refinement level.
With a thought, Zhu Xiong Ying left Pengzu grotto-heaven.
Following that, he returned to the quiet room and walked out of the courtyard to the study in the backyard.
Sure enough, at this moment, he saw a three or four-year-old child lying in front of the table, drawing large characters with a brush with a miserable expression.
"Yunchen, are you practicing your calligraphy?"
Zhu Xiongying walked in with a smile.
"Big brother, I beg you, take me out to play. I won't bother you anymore, sob sob…"
When this child saw Zhu Xiongying, it was as if he had seen his savior. He cried and pounced on him.
Zhu Xiongying pressed his head with his palm to prevent the little guy from crying on his body.
However, he had a smile on his face as if he was coaxing a child."As long as you're obedient, I'll take you out to play.”
This was his third brother, Zhu Yunhao. He was only three years old this year and was born from the same mother as him.
Speaking of which, this little fellow was lucky to have met him. Otherwise, his fate in the future would really be quite miserable.
In normal history, in the month he was born, the Crown Princess Consort, Madam Chang, would die due to her physical injuries.
When he was four, his elder brother Zhu Xiongying died. When he was fourteen, his father Zhu Biao died.
When he was twenty-four years old, he would encounter Zhu Di's invasion of the capital. Later, he was imprisoned by Zhu Di in his hometown, Fengyang. At the age of thirty-nine, he died mysteriously.
This fate was truly a jinx!
Fortunately, he had helped his mother, Madam Chang, to recuperate back then, allowing her to survive. Zhu Yunhao's subsequent fate would naturally change.
This little fellow had no other hobbies. He had liked to follow her around since he was young. Now, he did not leave the Eastern Palace and stayed at her place every day.
However, in order to prevent this little fellow from disturbing his cultivation, he let him read and write all day long.
It had to be said that Zhu Yunhao was also miserable. At such a young age, her study intensity was almost comparable to the college entrance examination.
