"Tsk tsk...Zhu Renxia played very well this time. He has shown great potential."

Zhu Changan was holding a cup of milk tea, sitting in front of the box and looking at it with gusto.

Ever since Zhu Renxia entered Guilin, Zhu Changan has been standing in front of the landscaping box, taking in almost everything.

Although he was not able to witness Zhu Renxia's elegance in bed, Zhu Changan knew that the couple had a perfect match last night and went to Wushan together.

This made Zhu Changan feel a little itchy, so he took advantage of the silence in the box to call Yang Nan to practice some skills before returning to watch the show.

In Zhu Changan's hand was a book he had just purchased online - "The Family History of Prince Jingjiang of the Ming Dynasty".

In order to better protect Zhu Renxia, ​​Zhu Changan must have a deep understanding of the history of the Jingjiang Palace and strive to be prepared for rainy days.

After a day of research, Zhu Changan basically had a general understanding of the current Jingjiang Palace.

Among the nearly one hundred vassal clans of the Ming Dynasty, this one is the only one who is not the descendant of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

The ancestor they worship is Zhu Xinglong, the king of Nanchang, who is also the eldest brother of Zhu Yuanzhang's mother, Zhu Chongwu.

Everyone on earth knows that when Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, his family was very poor, and his second and third brothers both starved to death before they even got a wife.

In the fourth year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty, that is, 1344 AD, drought and locust plague broke out in the Jianghuai area. The people were starved of food. Zhu Changan's father Zhu Wusi, mother Chen, and eldest brother Zhu Chongwu all starved to death in this famine.

This year, Zhu Yuanzhang was seventeen years old and was working as a monk in Longxing Temple.

After learning the news that his parents and eldest brother had died of starvation, Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply saddened. At the same time, he secretly vowed to "drive out the Tartars and restore the Han Dynasty" to save all people in the world.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang defected to the Red Scarf Army and gradually became the leader of the rebel army and formed his own army.

At this time, Zhu Chongwu's widow Wang, who was also Zhu Yuanzhang's sister-in-law, came to seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang with Zhu Wenzheng, who was fifteen years old.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who lacked relatives, regarded Zhu Wen as his own son and favored him very much. He appointed him as the governor, controlled the three armies, and his status was only lower than himself.

Zhu Wenzheng also knew how to repay his kindness, fought bravely and made many military exploits, which was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang many times.

However, people's hearts are not as strong as snakes swallowing elephants. Zhu Wenzheng later made great contributions in the attack and defense of Hongdu, but did not receive any rewards. This made him full of complaints and complaints.

It happened that Zhu Wenzheng's father-in-law Xie Zaixing had an affair with Zhang Shicheng and conspired to surrender Hongdu (Nanchang), and Zhu Wenzheng was also involved.

At the critical moment, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da personally rushed to Hongdu to stabilize the situation, killed Xie Zaixing, and took Zhu Wenzheng back to Jinling.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he was betrayed by his nephew.

However, considering the kindness of his eldest brother Zhu Chongwu and the intercession of his wife Ma Xiuying, Zhu Yuanzhang let Zhu Wenzheng go and ordered him to be imprisoned in his hometown Fengyang.

Let him face his ancestral graves all day long to review his mistakes. Who would have thought that Zhu Wenzheng became depressed and became ill, drank all day long, and died at the age of twenty-nine.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang Jian defeated all the heroes, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, establishing the Ming Dynasty.

He renamed his father Zhu Wusi Zhu Shizhen and posthumously named him Myung Injo.

The eldest brother Zhu Chongwu changed his name to Zhu Xinglong and was posthumously named King of Nanchang. The other second and third brothers were also posthumously named kings.

The difference is that the second and third brothers Zhu died before they got married, and Zhu Xinglong also had a grandson named Zhu Shouqian, who was Zhu Wenzheng's son.

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered his eldest brother's kindness and conferred Zhu Shouqian as King of Jingjiang and granted him the title of Guilin.

Who would have known that this Zhu Shouqian was not an economical person. After arriving in Guilin, he bullied men and women, imposed excessive taxes, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and committed all kinds of evil, which aroused public resentment. Impeachment letters from local officials flew to Zhu Baba's case.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he summoned Zhu Shouqian to Nanjing with an imperial edict, demoted him to a useless person, and asked him to go to his hometown of Fengyang to guard the tombs of his ancestors.

A few years later, Zhu Yuanzhang felt sorry for his eldest brother, and asked Zhu Shouqian to go to Yunnan to take charge. Unexpectedly, after arriving there, he still went his own way without any repentance, robbing girls and killing others.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it any longer and sent the Jinyi Guards directly to Yunnan, captured Zhu Shouqian back to Beijing, and imprisoned him in a prison.

After entering the prison, Zhu Shouqian still had no intention of repenting. He became an alcoholic like his father, and finally burped at the age of thirty-one.

After Zhu Shouqian's death, Zhu Yuanzhang let his son Zhu Chanyi inherit the title. Since then, all the Jingjiang kings have been honest.

After more than two hundred years of development, the current King of Jingjiang has experienced eleven vassal kings, and has become the longest-standing vassal with the largest number of clan members in the Ming Dynasty.

"The history of Jingjiang Prince's Palace is really full of drama."

Zhu Changan stood up and threw the milk tea cup into the trash can, lit a cigarette, and continued to sit in front of the box and watch the show while browsing the "Jingjiang Prince's Family History" on his knees.

The eighth King of Jingjiang, Zhu Bangju, passed away due to illness 25 years ago.

After Zhu Banglu's death, his eldest son Zhu Renchang succeeded to the throne, but he only served as prince for eight years before he left Hexi.

Then, the eleven-year-old crown prince Zhu Lutao became the tenth King of Jingjiang.

Perhaps because he was successful at a young age and had no supervision, Zhu Lutao became a sensual and dissipated person as an adult, and he lost his legs at the age of only eighteen.

Zhu Lutao died too early and had no sons, so the king of Jingjiang fell to Zhu Rensheng, the second son of Zhu Bangzong, who became the current king of Jingjiang.

Zhu Rentu, the Zhenguo general who had secret contact with Yang Yinglong, was the third son of Zhu Banglu and the third brother of Zhu Rensheng.

As for Zhu Renbo, who was beaten up by Zhu Renxia today, he was the cousin of Zhu Rensheng, the king of Jingjiang, and his father Zhu Bangzao was Zhu Rensheng's third uncle, and he was highly regarded.

"Hey... no wonder this mustache is so arrogant, he turns out to be the cousin of the current King of Jingjiang."

Zhu Changan sneezed, thinking that this kid had suffered a big loss, so it shouldn't be over like this, right?

At this moment, rapid footsteps sounded from the box.

A group of about fifty officers and soldiers wearing armor and holding long guns lined up into the alley and surrounded Zhu Renxia's house.

The person leading the team was Zhu Renbo's third brother, Zhu Renteng, who shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Zhu Renxia, ​​get out of here. Do you think that just because you beat General Fu Guo, you will be expelled? If we don't break your legs today, will our brothers still have a foothold in Guilin?"

"Well...is it time for me to take action?"

Zhu Changan blew out a smoke ring and couldn't help but take off his leather shoes.

"Tianzun, calm down."

Zhu Renxia saw Tianzun's angry expression and hurriedly handed over his hand, "Don't worry, I can resolve it myself. Guilin is my hometown after all, so I'd better not go on a killing spree."

"Then I will wait and see."

Zhu Changan put on his leather shoes again and watched the show with his legs crossed.

"Uncle Xiazi, who are you talking to?"

Zhu Luxin, who was so frightened that sweat appeared on his forehead, couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Renxia smiled: "God."

"I'm already in a hurry, and I'm still in the mood to joke." Zhu Luxin had no choice but to wait and see what would happen.

Hearing that Tianzun was watching from the sky, Jin Zhu and Jiang Axiu felt relieved. As long as the old man was there, even if there were thousands of troops, what would they have to fear?

Zhu Renxia pushed the door open and walked out, saying with a smile: "Oh... if I admit it correctly, it is Zhu Renteng, the general of the auxiliary country, who is here, right? You are here to thank me for coming. We are all a family, so why bother!"

Zhu Renteng grinned in anger: "You bastard, you dare to make fun of me, do you believe I will kill you?"

"kill me?"

Zhu Renxia sneered, "May I ask what law I broke?"

If it were in the past, he would never dare to talk to a auxiliary general like this, but now he is protected by gods? I'm afraid of you, you hammer!

"What law did you break?"

Zhu Renteng held up his sword and yelled, "You beat the general of the state in the street. This crime is enough to expel you from the country, slap you with a stick, and send you to Fengyang to guard the tombs of your ancestors."

Zhu Renxia spread his hands and said, "You can't blame me for this. It was your brother who asked me to hit him..."

As he spoke, he imitated Zhu Renbo's posture and tone and said: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Beat me hard."

Then he changed his tone: "I fulfilled his request. Is this wrong? If the general doesn't believe it, you can ask the people watching the excitement. They can all testify for me!"

"What a good boy, you have some courage."

Zhu Renteng snorted coldly, "You dare to smile playfully in front of the officers and soldiers of the royal palace. I will tell you to live or die later. Come on, take it down for me!"
