"Since my father hates my son so much, I really feel ashamed of myself. My talent and virtue are shallow, and I know that I am not worthy of such delusion, so I am willing to accept any punishment! But please, my father, please spare my seventh brother. What is happening now has nothing to do with my seventh brother." It has nothing to do with my younger brother, my seventh younger brother just doesn’t want to see my son suffer, so he begged for mercy out of brotherly love, please give me a clear warning from my father!”
Zhu Cican said excitedly with tears in his eyes.
He knew that he couldn't plead for Chen Weisong, so now he could only plead for Zhu Cikai and continue to maintain his image as a brother and brother.
The ministers around Zhu Youxiao were also surprised to see Zhu Cican speaking for his brother at this time.
Especially when compared with other princes on the side, his image looks particularly responsible.
Zhu Cikai himself was also very moved, and even said some angry words willfully: "Second brother, you don't have to plead for me, just do whatever my father wants to do to me. After all, life was given by him, it doesn't matter if you take it away! "
Zhu Youxiao therefore glanced at Zhu Cikai, pointed at Zhu Cikai and cursed: "You traitor! Shut up!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao felt that his scalp was numb and his hands and feet were cold. Fortunately, he had been exercising diligently, eating healthily, and had a foundation laid by doing carpentry work when he was a child, so he did not have any problems with high education. After a moment of anger, he can quickly regain his composure.
"Shut up, just shut up!"
Zhu Cikai spoke up again.
Zhu Youxiao was speechless.
Then, Zhu Youxiao suddenly looked at Zhu Cican: "Since you are interceding for your seventh brother, I will give you some face, lest people think that I really want your brothers to become enemies."
So, Zhu Youxiao ordered again: "Arrange the seventh son of the emperor to work in the imperial village in Gyeonggi Province. He will come back when I tell him to come back to the city! He will be strictly guarded and sent to keep an eye on him every other day. I need him to report his study status to me in person in ten days!"
With that said, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Cican again: "As for you, I still say the same thing, I raised you in vain!"
Zhu Cican did not dare to say another word at this time.
Zhu Youxiao's words seemed like a sharp knife thrust into his heart, making him feel very uncomfortable!
At this time, Zhu Youxiao walked to the large map hanging on the wall, looked closely, and clicked on the island of Majorca in the Mediterranean in later generations: "This is our Ming colony, and it has been named Ye Chen." Island, he imprisoned his second son Zhu Cican here, and the Governor of Barcelona, Xia Wanchun, kept him under strict supervision!"
Exiled and imprisoned in such a far away place, and even imprisoned on an isolated island?
The princes and ministers present were all amazed by this.
You know, the Mediterranean Sea is very far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, and it is completely different from the local customs and customs.
Going there and being imprisoned is really equivalent to being imprisoned.
Zhu Cican couldn't help but tremble after hearing this.
He did not expect that his father really lightened Zhu Cikai's punishment and did not let him go to Shandong, but stayed in Gyeonggi Province. However, his punishment was aggravated and he was imprisoned on an isolated island in the Mediterranean.
Zhu Cikai was shocked after hearing this and said hurriedly: "Father! Even if my second brother has many shortcomings, you can't be so cruel and let him go to such a far place!"
Zhu Ciwei couldn't help but stood up and said: "Father, my second brother has inherent evil thoughts, but imprisoning him on an isolated island in the Mediterranean is too much. What's more, Concubine Liang is seriously ill now. If she learns that his second brother is imprisoned, Went to the Mediterranean and were not allowed to see each other again, fearing that it would affect his condition. Moreover, the second brother also had his own flesh and blood. Separating his flesh and blood would inevitably make the emperor's nephew resentful. It would be better to temporarily imprison him in the house to make him Repent.”
"Yes! Father! Just give my second brother a chance!"
The other princes also begged for love.
At that moment, Wen Tiren and other assistant ministers also stood up to plead for mercy and said a few words.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhu Cican: "I know you are not stupid, nor do you know many truths, but you have to remember not to destroy your conscience because of the desire for power! Don't treat others as fools or fake things. No matter how real you act, it is still fake! Since they are interceding for you, and for the sake of your biological mother and your child, I can ask the boss to imprison you in the house first, so that you can think about your mistakes behind closed doors. , unless summoned by me, you are not allowed to leave the house!"
"My dear father, thank you for your kindness!"
Zhu Cican breathed a sigh of relief and replied.
Then, Zhu Cican said again: "You can stay in the mansion without leaving the capital, but all the Qingke scholars in your mansion will not have a chance to live a good life. They all have to study! You have become what you are today. It has nothing to do with them! A decree was passed to detain all the Qing guest literati in the second prince's house and officials who asked for mercy from outside, and exiled them to places such as Emi Island, Sakhalin Island, and Siberia to accept the rebirth of the newly moved Han people there. Education! Local officials must report their learning status to me regularly!"
"According to the order!"
Wen Tiren replied at this time.
Then, Wen Tiren asked: "Your Majesty, what should the courtiers outside do?"
Zhu Youxiaohan ordered with a face: "Let them enter the palace! The second prince and the seventh prince will also stay here to listen together."
"yes!"
Not long after, Zhang Ersu and other civil servants who came to make speeches for the second son of the emperor came to the Qinzheng Hall in Daming Garden. Each one of them glanced at Zhu Youxiao, trying to read some information from the emperor Zhu Youxiao's eyes. Come.
"You are making a speech for my second prince, but are you forming a faction?"
Zhu Youxiao asked.
"Your Majesty, I have no cliques. I only serve the country of the Ming Dynasty, and I come here with a tacit understanding to make a speech to His Highness!"
Zhang Ersu replied first at this time.
"Shut up!"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Zhang Ersu and shouted: "Although you are not a party in name only, you are already a party!"
"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking about. You keep saying that you want to serve the world, but in fact you just want to be a master. To be precise, you are above me and equal to me. Below me, there must be a hierarchical order! All of them are sanctimonious. , your mind is full of selfish desires, you have really read all the books into the dog's belly. What the saint teaches you is to love the people, not for you to think about finding a master who is kind to you every day so that you can bully the people below! It's really not possible. I know whether it was the book that mistook you, or you who mistook the book.”
Zhu Youxiao said.
When Zhang Ersu and others heard what Zhu Youxiao said, their faces turned very ugly.
Zhang Ersu couldn't help denying it: "Your Majesty, I don't think so. I really only do it for the Ming Dynasty! It is a well-known fact that His Highness is popular in the world, and His reputation is well known both inside and outside! I'm old minister When I speak for His Highness, I am also speaking for His Highness on behalf of the people of the world! I am speaking for the people of the world, not for myself. When Your Majesty says this now, it really leaves me with nowhere to express my grievances! Your Majesty !”
Zhang Ersu actually knelt down after saying this: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
The other ministers also knelt down.
When Zhu Cican heard Zhang Ersu speak for him like this, he didn't feel grateful for it. He was even very angry, so angry that he even wanted to kill Zhang Ersu.
