slander! This is definitely a slander. I, Zhao Changge, am an upright person. How can I be the kind of villain who likes to do little things behind the scenes?
Zhao Changge's face turned red with anger.
"Xiao Zhu, it hurts me so much when you say this. I thought you understood me very well, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this. Who doesn't know that I, Zhao Changge, am notoriously generous? How could I Because Zhu Ping scolded me a few times, I will retaliate against him."
Seeing Zhao Changge's righteous look, Zhu Biao nodded vigorously: "I was not sure at first, but now I am sure. You are definitely taking revenge for personal gain."
Zhao Changge was a little afraid to look into Zhu Biao's eyes. Good guy, when did Xiao Zhu know me so well?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mind whether Zhao Changge's starting point was revenge or something else. As long as his son could really change, he was willing to support it.
"Boy Zhao, since this is your idea, then I'll leave the second and third children to you. I don't care about the process, only the results. I hope you can let us see their changes."
Zhao Changge was stunned. He had just made a joke, but who knew Zhu Yuanzhang would actually take it seriously.
"Lao Zhu, are you sure? Those precious sons of yours are going to suffer."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded seriously: "It is better to suffer a little than to lose your life. We will support you in whatever you want to do, as long as it does not harm their lives. By the way, bring the fourth child with you."
Zhao Changge glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Old Zhu, why do I feel that you are deliberately torturing Zhu Di?"
"Nonsense, we are doing this for the sake of the fourth child."
Zhao Changge is not hypocritical. Regarding Lao Zhu's sons, Zhao Changge does feel that they have some problems.
"Okay, then let me make an agreement first. I can help you discipline your son, but you can't interfere in the process. Don't stop midway because you feel distressed. As long as their lives are not in danger, you can't blame me afterwards."
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed: "It all depends on you."
"Then give me an imperial decree and demote them all to common people first."
Zhu Biao on the side was startled: "Chang Ge, are you playing this big?"
"We have said that we must go deep into the people. How can they understand the people without turning them into ordinary people first?" Zhao Changge said matter-of-factly.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep look at Zhao Changge, and then walked towards the desk. After a while, a freshly sealed imperial edict was thrown into Zhao Changge's hand.
"Okay, then I'll start working now." Zhao Changge took the imperial edict and left the palace with an expectant expression on his face.
Prince Zhu Biao recalled the smile on Zhao Changge's face and couldn't help but mourn for his brothers.
"Dad, nothing will happen to the second brother and the others, right?" Zhu Biao still couldn't bear it.
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and was silent for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, we will let Mao Xiang watch from the side. They really should suffer a little, otherwise they won't even take our words to heart."
With Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Zhao Changge was the first to come to Prince Yan's Mansion. When he learned that Zhao Changge was here to announce the order, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun immediately came to the main hall to receive the order.
Zhao Changge opened the imperial edict with great style, then smashed it in his mouth and threw the edict directly to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, King Yan, read it for yourself."
The corner of Zhu Di's mouth twitched. He had never seen someone declare an edict so casually in his life, but he still honestly opened the edict and took a look, and then he was stunned.
"Father, are you serious?" King Yan has never seen anything so outrageous in his life. Just to make the brothers more sensible, he directly demoted the three brothers to common people and prohibited them from asking anyone for help. He wanted to survive like ordinary people.
Zhao Changge shrugged: "You think it's a joke after the imperial edict has been issued. Your Highness, King Yan, no, common man Zhu Di, you now have a cup of tea to change your clothes. Remember, it can only be the most ordinary clothes." , as well as the jade pendant and other valuable things on your body, just leave them all in the house, you won’t need them in the future.”
Zhu Di's face became very strange: "Mr. Zhao, this is not your suggestion, is it? Father, he would never think of torturing us in this way."
"Nonsense, how can this be called torture? This is training." After saying that, Zhao Changge looked at Xu Miaoyun aside: "Princess Yan, you must not help Prince Yan in private, as that would be disobedience."
Xu Miaoyun took a deep look at Zhao Changge, and then nodded seriously.
Although Zhu Di felt that this imperial edict was outrageous, since it was Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Zhu Di did not dare to complain. He obediently went to the backyard and changed into ordinary clothes. Although they were ordinary, they were clothes that could appear in Prince Yan's palace. No matter what, it was several times better than what real common people wore, but Zhao Changge didn't press too hard. He nodded and watched Zhu Di walk out of Prince Yan's Mansion.
"Zhu Di, you have to rely on your own ability to survive next."
Zhu Di didn't care: "My king, no, I have hands and feet. Is it possible that I can starve to death? You underestimate me too much."
Zhao Changge didn't say much. From now on, Zhu Di will understand how difficult it is for an ordinary person at the bottom to live.
Just like Zhu Di, Jin Wang Zhu Fan was also confused when he received the imperial edict, but he did not resist. He changed his clothes obediently and was driven out of the Jin Palace. As soon as he walked out of the palace, he saw Zhu Di at the door. With a look of gloating on his face, Zhu Fan said angrily: "What are you looking at? You are the same!"
Zhu Di pursed his lips and didn't say much. They had just been kicked out of the palace. Although these two people were depressed, they didn't realize that their hard days were the real beginning. Now they were not too worried about being demoted to common people. concept, so I don’t have much worry in my heart.
Arriving at the last palace of Prince Qin, Zhao Changge had just walked into the palace when he saw a woman in tattered clothes struggling to drag a pile of firewood. The woman had long hair covering her face, and her thin body was obviously malnourished.
Who is this person? Do the servants in Prince Qin's palace live such a hard life? But Zhao Changge looked around at the other servants. After all, he was in the palace, and the clothes of the other servants were obviously much better than that woman. Zhao Changge thought this woman was a beggar when she was outside.
"Who is that person? Why is he dressed so shabbily?" Zhao Changge then grabbed a maid and asked.
The maid knew that Zhao Changge was a noble person who came to announce the decree, so she hesitated and whispered: "That is Princess Qin..."
Princess Qin’s Guanyin slave?
Okay, Zhao Changge remembered it. Historical records record that Qin King Zhu Ping never liked his concubine Guanyin Nu, and even abused her in every possible way after they got married. The poor Guanyin Nu was eventually buried for Zhu Ping because she had no children.
Zhao Changge didn't feel much about the few words in the history books, but now that he saw the real life of Guanyin Nu, Zhao Changge understood what it meant to be in dire straits.
