Chapter 144 Reason and Stupidity(2/3)

This is the first point, violation.

Secondly, the boss also played a set of monopoly economic tricks.

Although as a prince, he is not short of money.

But he also loves money.

Especially love new money!

He asked Zhu Yuanzhang for it, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was as poor as his underwear, did not grant him the funds he wanted.

With nowhere to go, he turned his gaze and looked down.

That is, the subjects under his jurisdiction.

He asked his men to use the bad money in the palace to buy sheep from ordinary people.

If the people don't sell, beat them to death.

After the beating is completed, the sheep are brought back and killed, and then let the people buy them with new money.

If you dare not buy it, I will beat you again.

If you don't buy it, I'll continue to beat you.

Until you pay for it.

In addition, in addition to his wife, this guy also likes another group of people, including but not limited to nuns, widows, concubines of the Yuan Dynasty and prostitutes in brothels. He asked the soldiers to capture all these women and bring them to the palace for him

Enjoy.

In order to achieve his goal of hunting for beauty, Zhu Xi also has his own unique skills.

He felt that the Shandong women under his jurisdiction had too big feet and he didn't like them.

The feet were as big as his mother's feet, and they were all sweaty, which he didn't like very much.

So he found a group of painters and asked them to paint a portrait of a beautiful woman out of thin air (you can see clearly that this is not a copy, but a free creation by the artist based on his own imagination).

After the painters had finished their paintings, he would select the good-looking ones and have people take the portraits to the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas to find real people.

I have to admire his imagination.

This guy is definitely a genius among geniuses!

And the soldiers holding the portraits didn't have a good time, because they had never encountered this kind of completely nonsense gameplay before, and they had never served such a slutty master. This kind of trick combines freshness and excitement.

They have never done it before, so many people leave empty-handed.

But Zhu Xi was not happy.

The old man was very unhappy.

While angry, Zhu Xi also showed a royal demeanor similar to his father Zhu Yuanzhang. He dug out the kneecaps of all the soldiers who had not completed their tasks, and then beat them to death with sticks.

The remaining soldiers saw that the boss was serious.

This is too cruel!

So they thought of a way to randomly find a few particularly attractive beauties, bring them to their master, and then blow them off in an attempt to get away with it.

But the fact is that this trick of fooling ghosts simply won't work here.

Zhu Xi felt that there was a serious difference in style and temperament between the woman in front of him and the character in the portrait. In today's online shopping terms.

Total fake.

Not even a high imitation.

He felt that his men were fooling him.

These subordinates are obviously shaking themselves.

So he asked the soldiers to pull out the guy who looked at him and beat him to death.

Then find other soldiers, ask them to take the portrait to find the real person again, and warn them that if they dare to fool me again, these people who were killed will be your fate.

There are many other ways to play, so I won’t list them all.

Anyway, after Zhu Xi died, even Zhu Yuanzhang himself was too lazy to cover it up.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally sorted out eleven crimes for his second son, compiled them together in "Ji Fei Lu", and then distributed them to the princes as a warning.

And this guy who is famous for being ridiculous is his second son.

He is also the most reasonable successor to the imperial power after Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that if the imperial power fell into the hands of such people, the country he had built with hard work in three days would be completely destroyed.

Zhu Xi will definitely not be able to inherit the throne.

No matter what, he cannot be allowed to inherit the throne.

However, in terms of seniority, the most reasonable heir to the imperial power is the second oldest brother.

More importantly, if he is not allowed to inherit, who will inherit?

Should it be handed over to the third son Zhu Fan or the fourth son Zhu Di?

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang never thought of handling it this way, but would it cause dissatisfaction among others?

Will these princes make noises?

They will vent their dissatisfaction for various reasons.

Dad, why did you choose him instead of me?

I'm not convinced!

I was born and raised by my mother, so why can’t I hold the throne? Am I inferior to others?

You stand up and explain clearly, otherwise this matter will not be over.

When dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain level, it may pose a threat to his regime.

These are all possible!

Historical lessons have told us more than once that in the face of the supreme imperial power and hegemony, the friendship between brothers and sisters and father and son are all nonsense. In the face of absolute power, the filth and lowliness of human nature will be vividly displayed!

I personally think that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was murderous, understood this truth deeply.

It’s impossible not to give it to him, and even more impossible to give it to him.

It’s not okay to give it to others, and it’s not okay not to give it to others!

This is really a huge problem!

This huge problem was placed in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. In addition to pain, he was probably going crazy!

what can we do about it?

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about this difficult decision for nine months.

In the end, he made a bold, but in the eyes of later generations, an extremely stupid decision.

He did not choose among his sons.

Instead, Zhu Biao's son, also his grandson, Zhu Yunwen, was made the crown prince.

When this edict was announced, I personally think there must have been an uproar at the time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's choice was really not a wise decision.

Because doing so will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the feudal lords outside the country.

There should be three people who are most dissatisfied.

The second son Zhu Xiang.

The third son, Zhu Fan.

The other is the fourth son with the strongest military ability, Zhu Di.

They couldn't figure out why their father would hand over the supreme imperial power to his nephew, who didn't even have hair. How could he be able to take on such an important task? But we, the princes, could only stare and take advantage of everything. Can't catch it.

Dad, did you take the wrong medicine or did you lose your head?

How did you come up with this stupid idea?

It's not fair to let a group of uncle-like elders who want everything come to support a nephew who wants power but has no power, no ability, no ability, and no teeth.

Extremely unfair.

But dad is the emperor after all, and he conquered this world. Sons like him don’t have enough courage and strength to fight him face to face.

But they needed a place to vent their dissatisfaction, so a few people who were not afraid of death took the lead in standing up.

The most typical figure here should be Lao Wu, Zhou Wang Zhu Ru.

His way of venting his anger is by causing trouble on his own.

Making trouble under the nose of his father.

He would come wherever he wanted to cause chaos. He would randomly grab girls from common people's homes in his fiefdom and play with them. After playing with them, he would kill them and then burn them into ashes and return them to the common people.
