Chapter 425: Slaying Wang Kangnian
"Give me...!"
Just as Zhu Lang was about to launch a ignition tank at the Yongchang Hou Mansion, a young eunuch on the roadside shouted excitedly: "Your Highness the Prince is here..."
However, after the sound, it was not the prince who appeared, but the five-year-old Zhu Xiongying jumped off the carriage first, walked towards Zhu Lang with his short legs, and shouted as he ran: "Uncle...!"
Seeing Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Lang stopped ordering, jumped off the horse, and hugged Zhu Xiongying who ran to him.
After being hugged by Zhu Lang, Zhu Xiongying hurriedly shouted happily: "Uncle, why haven't you come back for so long? Xiongying misses you so much." As he said that, Zhu Xiongying hugged Zhu Lang hard.
At this time, Zhu Lang smiled.
You should know that Zhu Lang still cherishes his nephew very much, mainly because according to the history that Zhu Lang knew, his little nephew lived not until eight years old. How to say it... "Life and death are destined to be rich and noble." Some people have their identities since they were born. They have an extraordinary life experience when they were born in the imperial family. They are either rich or noble, and they are all destined by the prince. However, some people are not just destined by the prince, but the emperor's destiny.
But when it comes time to die, the emperor can't stop him.
Zhu Xiongying was born in an imperial family of the Ming Dynasty. His grandfather was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his grandmother was Empress Xiaoci Gao of the Ming Dynasty, his grandfather was Chang Yuchun, the Zhongwu King, and his father was Zhu Biao, the most powerful crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.
He is the eldest son of Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, and the eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang. Looking at his family background, he is the king and the birth is the emperor's order. Like his father, he is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the lord of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Xiongying can discuss the background of his power, and he can discuss the pros and cons with his father. Everything about his grandfather, the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, is his. All the achievements of his father Zhu Biao, and the imperial power in his hands will be passed on to him. As long as he lives healthy, the crown of the Ming Dynasty will be worn on her sooner or later, and the Ming Dynasty will be passed on to him sooner or later!
Zhu Xiongying, who has a strong background and the fate of an emperor, was like his father, and had no fate with the dragon throne of the Ming Dynasty and the throne of the Nine Five Emperors. He died at the age of 8. For the inheritance system of father-in-law and eldest son set by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xiongying was the master of the third generation of Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, like his father, he had no fate after all!
When he died, his father, Prince Yiwen, Zhu Biao, cried even more. His grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was even stopped for three days. His grandmother, Empress Xiaoci Gao, became seriously ill due to the premature death of his eldest grandson! It can be seen how strong the eldest son has in their hearts!
It is also because of this that Zhu Lang cherishes his nephew very much and always gives him the best. Because of this, Zhu Xiongying is also very intimate with Zhu Lang.
"Aren't I back now... Are you doing well recently?" Zhu Lang asked Zhu Xiongying with a smile.
"Be good... I have finished all the homework assigned by my uncle. Uncle, will you not leave when you come back this time?" Zhu Xiongying asked Zhu Lang.
Zhu Lang shook his head and said, "Xiongying, I'm sorry, my uncle has to leave, but don't worry, my uncle will stay in Yingtian for a while this Spring Festival, and you can come to the Narcissus Village to have fun."
"Really, it's great." Zhu Xiongying was happy.
Just as Zhu Lang and Zhu Xiongying were talking happily, the princess over there urged the prince Zhu Biao to go there quickly. Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed because Zhu Biao knew that he believed too much this time, which really made his younger brother angry. Zhu Biao was a little afraid to see Zhu Lang, worried that Zhu Lang would be disappointed in him.
Seeing her husband's disgusting look, the Crown Princess Chang just walked over in person.
This Crown Princess Chang was the future Empress Xiaokang Chang... There was a TV series that deliberately belittled Empress Xiaokang Chang in the content, portraying her as an ignorant and stupid person who would cry and cry when encountering things. Her husband, the gentle and elegant Crown Prince Zhu Biao, became a foolish person who favored his concubine and killed his wife and favored his little wife.
Then he portrayed the image of the White Lotus Holy Father, who was not greedy for power and only wanted to pursue true love. Of course, this is not the case.
Empress Xiaokang Chang, the Xingzong of the Ming Dynasty, was the eldest daughter-in-law appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the first Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace in the Ming Dynasty.
This Eastern Palace Yuan Concubine, who is diligent, thrifty, filial, and does not be arrogant with wealth and arrogance, and is a virtuous woman. She is truly an example of the world.
The real history is that although Empress Xiaokang Chang, who was born in a general, may lack the tenderness of an ordinary boudoir girl, she is bound to be dignified and generous in every move. After all, she is the eldest daughter-in-law Zhu Yuanzhang likes, the future mistress of the Zhu family, and the next hostess of the Ming Empire.
She can be very popular, heroic, elegant and luxurious, but she can never cry when she encounters something. She has no political sensitivity, because with Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, it is impossible to choose a girl with such a temperament to match his beloved eldest son.
She came to Zhu Lang and first said to Zhu Lang Yifu: "Prince Prince...!"
Zhu Lang quickly flashed and avoided the blessing of the Crown Princess and said, "Is the Empress who is in love?"
Zhu Lang did not beat around the bush with the Crown Princess, but instead put the matter out directly.
Chang nodded quickly and said, "My Prince, Chang has no foundation. Lan Yu is the last foundation of Chang. Lan Yu is wrong. I apologize to the Prince on his behalf. Can you ask the Prince to raise his hands and put a code of Lan Yu?"
"Yes... I have said that the purpose of coming here this time is to capture Wang Kangnian. As long as Lan Yu can send Wang Kangnian out, I will not blame him for being ruthless. On the contrary, if Lan Yu is stubborn, then don't blame me for being ruthless." After saying that, Zhu Lang shouted to the prince Zhu Biao: "Brother...what are you standing there? Do you think I can't see you?"
"Ah...ha... no, no, I just feel that it's cool here. My brother is here. It's really not seen me for too long. My brother misses you." Zhu Biao was yelled by Zhu Lang, and then he trotted all the way.
After coming over, Zhu Biao apologized: "Brother Lang, this time my brother was really wrong. It was so outrageous. However, I was also trapped by Lan Yu. Who knew that Wang Kangnian was so hateful that he dared to transport fake medicine to the front line. This time I will definitely stand on your side. No matter who sheltered me, I will be killed without mercy."
"Cough...cough..." Chang coughed quickly, stopping Zhu Biao from talking further. If Zhu Lang was angry and directly ordered to attack the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, everything would be bad.
"Prince of the County... Please wait for me a moment. I will go to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion now and ask Lan Yu to hand over Wang Kangnian to you." Chang quickly made a statement, then pulled Prince Zhu Biao and said, "Crown Prince, you are with me."
"Ah...!" Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Lang and said 'Oh': "Okay... But I may not be able to persuade Lan Yu, this guy is too arrogant."
"If the prince can't persuade him, then he should die." Chang also said fiercely.
After saying that, Chang dragged Zhu Biao to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion with great strides. Chang slapped the gate of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and shouted: "The prince and the princess are here, open the door."
After a while, the gate of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion was opened and followed Zhu Biao and Chang in. Zhu Lang didn't know what Zhu Biao and Chang and Lan Yu said, but in less than a quarter of an hour, the gate of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion was opened, and Wang Kangnian was tied out by Lan Yu. Then Lan Yu bowed to Zhu Lang to apologize.
Zhu Lang was not angry at Lan Yu, and directly ignored the other party and took Wang Kangnian away. Zhu Lang had already figured out how to kill Wang Kangnian. He wanted to use a slaughter, and he had to cut this Wang Kangnian to death. Zhu Lang would like to see if there were any other guys who dared to use fake medicine to harm others.
Zhu Lang ordered again that everyone would escort Wang Kangnian back to the Jinyiwei.
After Zhu Lang left, neither the prince nor the princess left. Looking at Lan Yu, who showed a worried expression, the prince Zhu Biao said angrily: "Now I know I am afraid, you don't think about why he can use the status of a prince to over all princes, and why can he let his father hand over all the power to him without any suspicion.
Yes... Zhu Lang is my Zhu family, the legitimate son of my father and mother who are wandering outside, and my second brother. You dare to go against him for the sake of Wang Kangnian. Do you think you will have nothing to do if you hide in the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion this time. Do you think my father will come back to help you and can sue Zhu Lang for a crime of rebellion.
Don't dream, I tell you, my father knows everything. Even if Brother Lang really rebels, my father will not do anything to him. You, you, but you, don't you feel that you have done too much... You have collected a million silver, and you really think that no one in the world knows it. Hand over the silver and protect your life in the future. Don't be too arrogant from now on, let alone move my brother, otherwise you will not be able to protect you."
After saying that, Zhu Biao left first, leaving the crown princess Chang. Chang looked at Lan Yu and said with some painstaking words: "Uncle...you, if the prince hadn't come here this time, you would have been alive. Do you think the prince dared not touch you, let alone you, have you seen Zhu Chuang?
Even he dared not be jealous of Zhu Lang. If you offend the prince this time, you should be more restrained in the future. Otherwise, if you are hated by the prince, then you will be finished."
"Yes..." Lan Yu also bowed immediately, no longer having the arrogance he used to be.
....................................
After Zhu Lang arrested Wang Kangnian, he then made an explicit statement to the whole world that Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Yuanzhang to issue an order to cut Wang Kangnian into pieces. The first time he was sentenced to the Zhengdian, he took Wang Kangnian to the execution ground. He cut Wang Kangnian for ten days, and Wang Kangnian died.
This incident was criticized by many people in later history books, thinking that Zhu Lang was too cruel and not enough, but Zhu Lang didn't feel that. The soldiers in front were dying and sacrificing, but you played fake on drugs, so you must die.
Zhu Yuanzhang also supported Zhu Lang very much, and Zhu Yuanzhang also believed that Wang Kangnian must die. On this point, the Zhu father and son had a unified opinion. Finally, Zhu Lang fulfilled his promise to be a soldier. After Wang Kangnian died.
Lan Yu also took out the one million taels of silver he collected, and Wang Kangnian was also confiscated. A total of 500,000 taels of silver were collected, totaling 1.5 million taels. Zhu Yuanzhang allocated 500,000 taels to the Hailong Army and 500,000 to the medicinal materials merchants who were deceived by Wang Kangnian. Anyway, everyone was happy.
Many medicinal materials merchants thank Zhu Yuanzhang. To be honest, most people in the people are grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang, at least the people of the Ming Dynasty are like this. It’s just a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang was written by literati later on, which was strange, cruel, bloodthirsty, and evil.
There is no way...!
After Wang Kangnian's affairs were over, Zhu Lang did not go back to Dengzhou directly, but had dinner with Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, Zhu Biao... and followed him back to the Narcissus Village for about seven days.
You don’t know that after Zhu Lang came back, the Narcissus Village became too lively. Aunt Wang was so happy that he was a little sorry for Zhu Lang that when he saw Aunt Wang again this time, Zhu Lang found that Aunt Wang had lost a lot of weight. In fact, what Zhu Lang didn’t know was that Aunt Wang was lost because she was sick.
For seven days, Zhu Lang had been with Aunt Wang. During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma also came to the Narcissus Village, and the family had spent a period of time harmoniously.
On the third day, Zhu Yuanzhang brought Empress Ma, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and Crown Princess Chang to the Narcissus Village. When Aunt Wang saw that there were very people today, she happily got up to make mutton dumplings.
The mutton filling was chopped by myself, without anyone else's hands.
Just when Aunt Wang was busy, Empress Ma and the Crown Princess were helping each other. As for Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Lang, and Zhu Biao... the three of them were talking on the balcony of the villa.
"It's really beautiful here. We... just like it."
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the sofa on the balcony, looking at the Qinhuai River in the distance, and the breeze was really happy.
"Yes... I really hope that one day, all the people who want can live such a comfortable life." Zhu Biao smiled faintly.
"Oh...that's really a difficult thing, but I will follow my father and elder brother's way forward." Zhu Lang smiled slightly.
"We have read your report. We always feel that Lang'er, you underestimated this case this time." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Lang.
"Dad... The empty seal case is not unique to our Ming Dynasty. In fact, many dynasties have such problems. I know your concerns, but we are different from other dynasties. We also have the Jinyiwei, which can be monitored. Now we have the people who have made a breakthrough and can be deterred. If this matter is too big at once, it will be a little bit more worthwhile.
Our door is still going to transport troops overseas. Zhu Di is already in Ryukyu. Have you seen his report?"
"Look...!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "He has discovered the gold mountain you mentioned. He also said that the gold reserves in the gold mountain are very high, and he hopes that the order can be issued immediately."
"Yes... we have too many things now. Those officials cannot kill them all at once. We need them. After the shock, they will still do so. Then I won't object to it."
Zhu Lang finished speaking with a smile, and at this time Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
