Zhu Di came out of the Supreme Court prison with an extremely ugly expression.
He hurried to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
As usual, Zhu Yuanzhang was still approving the memorial.
"Imperial Father, that Li Shan Chang wrote a poem on the wall in prison.”Zhu Di reported.
He copied the poem and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a gloomy expression on his face, took it over and looked at it.
The cunning rabbit at the east gate of Shangcai was fat. Why did Li Si forget to return to the south?
After success, he did not understand the plan to retreat, just waiting for Xianyang to belong to who.
This poem was originally a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Hu Zeng. The original intention was to lament that Li Si did not know how to retire after success and ended up with his entire family being executed.
Li Shan Chang changed the last sentence from 'waiting for Xianyang to be stained with blood' to 'waiting for Xianyang to belong to whomever.'
"Imperial Father, this Li Shan Chang is clearly scolding Imperial Father as the Qin Emperor who burned books and buried scholars. He is cursing our Ming Dynasty to die like the second Qin Emperor.”Zhu Di's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Zhu Yuanzhang was full of murderous intent, and he smiled faintly.
"It's Mr. Li after all. That Zhu Ying was right, Li Shan Chang was using the lives of hundreds of people in his clan to exchange for a name that would be cursed for eternity. Humph,'Who will be in charge of Xianyang?' Alright, then let's fulfill his wish.”
"Pass down the order, Li Shan Chang's entire family will be executed!”
"As for those seven marquises, all of their families will be executed and sent on their way.”
Zhu Di's expression changed drastically.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were as sharp as a knife." Tell the Crown Prince to send Li Shanzhang off."”
Zhu Di retreated and rushed to the Eastern Palace.
……
The next day, execution ground.
The atmosphere was unusually heavy, and a terrifying aura enveloped the area.
The seven marquises were brought up. They were dressed in prison uniforms, and their feet and hands were shackled.
"Zhu Zhongba! You bastard, we brothers have gone through life and death with you. You're heartless!”
"Zhu Zhongba, you attacked your own brother. I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost!”
"Monk Zhu, you killed the donkey when you're done grinding.”
Lu Zhongheng, Tang Shengzong, and the others cursed Zhu Yuanzhang.
Outside the execution ground, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying stood side by side, looking at the execution ground.
"Old Zhu, what's there to see about chopping people? You dragged me along to join in the fun.”Zhu Ying rubbed his eyes.
"I'm here to send off my comrade." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was serious.
"I think many people are cursing the emperor, or cursing the emperor in their hearts.”Zhu Ying spread his hands." Old Zhu, your comrades are courting death. You can't blame others. There are many who retire after accomplishing their tasks. Didn't Tang He leave early?”
"Yeah, you're not satisfied! He remembered that when Tang Shengzong saw the villagers being bullied by the government, he killed them in anger. He was only 18 years old, but he ran for his life and joined the army. He told us that after the war, he would return to his hometown and live a stable life with his wife.”Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly," At that time, he couldn't bear to see the weak being bullied. He was young and heroic.”
"Old Zhu, people eventually turn into the appearance they hated when they were young. This proposition is too big. We can't discuss it even after drinking for a few days.”Zhu Ying smiled.
Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled faintly.
On the execution ground, Prince Zhu Biao personally supervised the execution.
With his order, the executioner's knife fell, and heads fell to the ground one after another.
In an instant, the execution ground was covered in the smell of blood.
Zhu Biao felt dizzy and almost fell.
He supported himself with both hands on the table. Despite his dizziness, he insisted on standing. His gaze swept across the crowd and he was shocked, as if he had seen his father.
Rubbing his eyes, Zhu Biao was still dizzy.
He looked up again.
Was that father? Who was the young man beside Imperial Father? It looked familiar.
Suddenly, the world spun and he fell down.
"Crown Prince! Crown Prince!"
"Someone come quickly."
There was a flurry on the stage as the Crown Prince was carried off.
……
This was Zhu Ying's first time seeing the Crown Prince of Great Ming.
He had a very familiar feeling.
"Zhu Biao is under too much pressure. It's not good if this continues.”Zhu Ying frowned.
He remembered that Zhu Biao died in the 25th year of Hongwu, which meant that there were only two years left.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Biao suddenly faint, he was already nervous. Hearing this, he said angrily,"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhu Ying facepalmed. Old Zhu was acting weird today. He smiled and said,
"Old Zhu, why are you still angry? I know that everyone in the Imperial Court has high hopes for the Crown Prince. Because of this, he is under great mental pressure.”
"Listen to my analysis. Zhu Biao is afraid of his father. Master Hong Wu has too high of an expectation for him. He even hopes that Zhu Biao will be more wise than him in the future. Zhu Biao was a soft-hearted person, and Lord Hong Wu hoped that the Crown Prince would be like him, decisive and awe-inspiring. Zhu Biao couldn't do that, so he had to bear the pressure from Lord Hong Wu.”
"Where are the court officials? They also had high hopes for him, saying that he would become a Saint Monarch in the future. Do you think he's under a lot of pressure? I'm not trying to scare people, but if this continues, people will die.”
The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more serious his expression became.
He did not know that Biao had suffered so much.
"How did you know?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Who am I? Omnipotent and omniscient." Zhu Ying smiled, then frowned slightly." Strange, I have a very familiar feeling when I see the Crown Prince, as if I've seen him before.”
"Did you remember something?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked anxiously.”
