Not long after Yang Xuan followed Zhu Biao on his northern tour, Ning King Zhu Quan also left the capital and went to Daning to establish a vassal state.
In early August, the Northern Patrol team arrived at Xi'an Mansion, which was the fiefdom of Qin King Zhu Xi.
As soon as he arrived here, Yang Xuan found many refugees on the road.
After Yang Xuan learned about it, he realized that all of this was related to King Zhu Chong of Qin, who did all kinds of evil in the fiefdom, making the people miserable.
Even if someone wanted to go to Beijing to complain, they would be intercepted and killed on the way by Zhu Fang's men.
There was anger burning in Yang Xuan's heart, and he couldn't wait to go to Prince Qin's Mansion.
This bastard!
He is also the son of Lao Zhu and Queen Ma. How could this guy be so insulting to the people?
He really wanted to tell Zhu Biao about this, but he also knew Zhu Biao and valued family ties, so he might not believe what he said.
So, he took Zhu Biao on a private visit in disguise so that he could see with his own eyes what his good brother had done.
After some visits and investigations, Zhu Biao also became angry.
Ordering the team to speed up, he wanted to ask Zhu Ping, is this how the fief is governed?
His behavior is completely digging up the roots of the Ming Dynasty!
Because of Lao Zhu's words and deeds and Yang Xuan's influence, Zhu Biao attached great importance to the people.
He knew clearly that for the country to be stable, the people must not be in chaos.
But what Zhu Ping did was completely denying the people a way to survive.
It's lucky that the people here didn't rebel.
Not long after, Zhu Biao entered the city and came to Prince Qin's Mansion.
"My dear brother, see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Biao ignored Zhu Chong and walked directly into the palace with a gloomy face.
Seeing this, Zhu Xi wanted to say hello to Yang Xuan again, but Yang Xuan also ignored him.
With a cold snort, he followed Zhu Biao into the palace.
Zhu Xi felt a little angry. It was enough for his elder brother to ignore him. Why should Yang Xuan ignore him?
As soon as he entered the palace, Yang Xuan felt that the palace of Prince Qin was too spacious.
All building materials are of the highest quality, and the murals are also extremely exquisite.
It can be seen that the construction of Prince Qin's Mansion cost a lot of money.
But the money given by Lao Zhu every year is considerable, so where does the rest of the money come from?
The refugees outside the city are the best answer.
Zhu Biao walked to the front hall with a sullen face. When Zhu Ping followed him, he shouted angrily: "Kneel down!"
Zhu Xi didn't know why, but he still knelt down honestly.
"Brother!" He wanted to ask why, but was interrupted arbitrarily by Zhu Biao.
"Shut up, do you still have the nerve to call me brother?"
"Go out and see what you have done to the entire Xi'an Mansion?"
"Refugees are everywhere, and people are struggling to survive."
"The common people sell their sons and daughters."
"They are the people of your fiefdom and your subjects. How can you bear it?"
"ah?"
"Are you still my prince of Ming Dynasty?"
"Second brother, second brother, you really disappoint me."
Zhu Biao shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment when he looked at Zhu Xi.
When he went to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhu Ju's fiefdom, although the people there were not as good as the people in the capital, they were not bad.
It is far less miserable than the people of Xi'an Prefecture.
"I'm sorry, brother, I have let you down!" Zhu Ping lowered his head and said.
There is nothing to defend.
You can find out by just looking it up.
Although Zhu Biao didn't know much about it in the past, it was just because Zhu Ping dominated the fiefdom with one hand, and the prefect and county magistrate did not dare to say anything due to his power.
The Jin Yiwei stationed here were also secretly bribed by him.
Therefore, it is difficult to spread the word about what he did.
Now that Zhu Biao is so angry when he comes up, he has obviously found out.
"Huh, can you just say sorry and be done with it?"
"Where are the people who died?"
"Who said sorry to them?"
Zhu Biao snorted coldly and shouted angrily at Zhu Ming.
Zhu Ping lowered his head and said nothing, but he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
He knew how outrageous what he had done was.
But so what?
He is the vassal king and the emperor's second son. As long as he does not rebel, he will not die no matter how bad things he does.
It's not his turn to sit on the throne anyway, so why should he bother to manage his reputation?
It is better to follow your own ideas, live happily and comfortably for the rest of your life.
As for leaving a bad reputation after death?
After I die, who cares about the flood!
This is probably Zhu Xi's idea. Anyway, he was messed up.
For a legitimate second son like him, who is in a position of neither superior nor inferior, it is impossible to make progress.
Otherwise, others may say: Okay, you have worked so hard to win the hearts and minds of the people, enhance your reputation, and work so hard in front of the emperor. It turns out that you are trying to become the heir apparent.
Seeing Zhu Xi's appearance, Zhu Biao was also very angry.
He immediately looked at Yang Xuan beside him: "Yang Xuan!"
"I'm here!" Yang Xuan stood up and clasped his fists.
"The king of Qin, Zhu Xi, did not practice virtue and bullied the people and broke the law."
"Pull him down and give him twenty military sticks to make him remember it." Zhu Biao said.
"yes."
"Brother!" Zhu Ming raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao.
"Execution!" Zhu Biao's eyes did not waver at all.
"yes!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xi was pulled into the yard by Yang Xuan.
Twenty military sticks, one stick a lot.
Yang Xuan showed no mercy, and Zhu Ping was beaten to pieces.
Later, Zhu Biao reprimanded the family members of Prince Qin's palace and asked them why they didn't stop Zhu Ping from doing evil.
He also ordered that the family members of Prince Qin's Mansion should close their doors and think about their mistakes.
Although Zhu Biao has already punished Zhu Ping, the things he committed must ultimately be dealt with by Lao Zhu.
So Zhu Biao asked Jin Yiwei to escort Zhu Ping back to the capital.
He has already been punished in advance. Even if he is escorted back to the capital, Lao Zhu will not be punished more severely.
In his heart, he still looks towards his brother.
Punishing King Qin was not only to give an explanation to the people of Xi'an Mansion, but also to stage a bitter trick in front of Lao Zhu.
After Jin Yiwei left Xi'an Mansion with Zhu Chong, Zhu Biao also began to rectify the entire Xi'an Mansion.
The officials who committed the crime should be arrested and killed.
And compensated the people who were persecuted by Zhu Ping.
Afraid of the retaliation Zhu Ping would receive when he returned, Zhu Biao did not stop him from leaving Xi'an Mansion. Instead, he paid for travel and settlement expenses, and sent someone to escort him.
With Zhu Biao's efforts, the entire Xi'an Mansion took on a new look, and the people were grateful to Zhu Biao, the prince.
They all praised Zhu Biao for his kindness.
…
At this time, Zhu Xi had returned to the capital and was being taught a lesson by Lao Zhu.
What Zhu Biao did in Xi'an Mansion was also rushed back to the capital.
Lao Zhu was very happy after seeing the report.
But when he saw Zhu Ming kneeling in front of him, he was furious again.
Immediately kicked him over.
"You bastard, if you didn't act misbehaving in the fiefdom, would your elder brother have to wipe your ass?"
"Your eldest brother has not been in good health in the past two years. We asked him to relax on the northern tour, but it turned out that you, bastard, didn't do anything."
"If something bad happens to your brother's health, let's see how we deal with you."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi immediately raised his head and looked at Lao Zhu: "Father, brother, what's wrong with him?"
"This is not what you should ask. Now, go back to your palace (in the capital). You are not allowed to come out without our order."
