Prince of Chaos

Chapter 582
It's May Day now!
Mayday is a talented team, ah bah!It's a string.

The weather in May is cool and comfortable, neither the sudden warmth and coldness of spring, nor the scorching sun of summer.

It's a rare cool day!

Just like Mayday's "Gentleness" sang, "Walking in the wind, today's sunshine, suddenly so gentle. The gentleness of the sky, the gentleness of the earth, like you holding me."

It's such a beautiful day in May.

And in this gentle weather, Zhu Changluo finally thought of his dear and good brother—the emperor's third fat Zhu Changxun!
Originally last year, Zhu Changluo was ordered to make Zhu Changxun king.

As a result, from the end of last year to now, too many things have happened.

For a moment, Zhu Changluo also forgot about such an important matter.

Fortunately, it's not too late to think about it now.

So, after Zhu Changluo communicated with Emperor Wanli about going to Beidaihe, Zhu Changluo thought about taking advantage of this time to establish Zhu Changxun's title of King of Fortune, and let him honestly be a vassal for Daming.

For this reason, Zhu Changluo also specially told Dong Qichang to let the Ministry of Rites begin to arrange Zhu Changxun's ceremony of becoming a king.

After Dong Qichang received this decree, he was very excited and immediately made arrangements.

It looked like it was just a simple ceremony of conferring the king.

However, people with a bit of political savvy understand that this matter cannot be understood so simply.

You know, only the emperor can be named a king!
Now the crown prince supervises the country's government, although the crown prince has already used the emperor's guard of honor to exercise the authority of the emperor.

However, compared to the third son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo's status as an elder brother is still more than that of a king.

Therefore, if Zhu Changluo now crowns Zhu Changxun king as a king.

This is equivalent to the brotherhood between the two, and it will change drastically at this moment.

The two will be monarchs and ministers first, and then brothers.

Don't think that this is just a change of rhetoric in the order of front and back, in fact, the articles in it are too big.

Therefore, it is understandable that Dong Qichang, who is Zhu Changluo's teacher, would be so excited.

The more stable Zhu Changluo's position is, the more political treatment he can receive.

This is an irrefutable truth since ancient times!
Therefore, those who served as teachers to the prince in the past dynasties, they either soared into the sky with the prince's ascension to the throne, or they were chopped off with the prince's abolishment.

Of course, when encountering a few usurpers who want to save face, they may still be able to live well, but they will definitely not become the policy makers of the new dynasty.

Just like Wei Zheng.

Of course, Wei Zheng is not Li Jiancheng's teacher, he is Li Jiancheng's counselor.

But why did Li Er keep him?
Is it really because he is a talent?

Maybe he is indeed a great talent, but what is his role in the entire Zhenguan Reign?
How much did he participate in the major policies of the Zhenguan Reign?

His biggest participation is that he often goes to Shushu to advise Li Er about his mistakes.

And Li Er is also sober in the world, he just indulged Wei Zheng's fierce persuasion to him again and again just to wash away his infamy of killing his brother and forcing his father.

But then what?

Although, Li Er also said some scene words such as "Using copper as a mirror can straighten clothes, and using people as a mirror can show gains and losses".

However, he never gave Wei Zheng a chance to show his ambition.

When I was in a bad mood, I pushed down Wei Zheng's tombstone, and when I remembered it, I helped it up again hypocritically.

He just used Wei Zheng as a tool, and then fulfilled his eternal reputation.

Now that Zhu Changxun is going to be crowned king, then this good news naturally needs to be told again to Zhu Changluo's first old opponent when he traveled through time—Concubine Zheng!

Although Zhu Changluo had already shown off in front of Concubine Zheng before, but showing off this kind of thing one more time will not only refresh your mind.

It can better demonstrate the excellent quality of disregarding previous suspicions and respecting brothers and friends.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

Zhu Changluo sent a decree to Yikun Palace, saying that he would visit Concubine Zheng on behalf of Emperor Wanli, and report to Concubine Zheng that the third son of the emperor was about to become king.

Concubine Zheng Gui, who lived alone in Yikun Palace, heard Zhu Changluo's will, she didn't say anything, and didn't reply a word.

The eunuch passing the decree stood awkwardly for a while, then saluted and left, returning to Ciqing Palace to repeat the decree.

"Is there anything the imperial concubine can tell Gu?"

Zhu Changluo casually asked the little eunuch who returned the order.

The little eunuch replied in a low voice: "Return to Your Highness, Concubine Zheng did not speak."

Zhu Changluo said lightly: "Drag out and slap your mouth for twenty."

The little lady overheard that Zhu Changluo wanted to punish him, and he kowtowed violently in fright, "My servant is wrong, my servant is wrong. Your Highness, please spare this servant."

Zhu Changluo looked at the little eunuch begging for mercy, and he waved his hand again to stop the person who wanted to pull the little eunuch out for execution.

Zhu Changluo asked, "What's wrong?"

The little eunuch was sweating profusely, but he couldn't tell where he was wrong, so he could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

Zhu Changluo was not angry when he saw the performance of the little eunuch.

Zhu Changluo said loudly: "Your fault is that you don't understand the rules! Concubine Zheng is the royal concubine of the father, the son of the master of Yikun Palace, and a concubine in the harem who is second only to the queen mother. You take every concubine Zheng, what do you mean? You Are you despising your father, or are you trying to frame Gu Yu for being unfilial and unrighteous?"

The little eunuch never expected that the crown prince would say such a thing, he was trembling with fright and was at a loss.

The name Concubine Zheng was called bad in their private communication.

He never expected that today he himself would be punished for this title.

It can be seen from this that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a Crown Prince who attaches great importance to rules and ethics.

Zhu Changluo waved his hand, "Double, and the stewards of the palaces and courts will watch the punishment. From now on, if there is another act of belittling the concubine and master, they will all be killed!"

Then the little eunuch was dragged out, and under Zhu Changluo's order, all the eunuch leaders, big and small, and the maids in charge of the palaces and courtyards in the Forbidden City were all called together to watch the execution.

Although, the punishment is not heavy.

However, Zhu Changluo's intention to let them come to observe the punishment is very important!
This made the chief eunuchs and the maids in charge tremble, who originally benefited from bullying those unfavored concubines.

They were very worried that the little shit they did would be disgusted by the crown prince.

The reason why Zhu Changluo did this is actually very simple.

One is to reiterate the rules!He wants to strengthen the concept of superiority and inferiority, and strengthen his absolute status.

The second is because Zhu Changluo suffered from being bullied by eunuchs and maids when he was a child, so he wants to change the atmosphere in the palace and purify the snobbish and utilitarian culture in the palace.

Otherwise, when there are more and more concubines and children in his harem, there will also be incidents of princes and princesses dying frequently, which is not what Zhu Changluo wants to see.

Although he also knew that children in ancient times had a high mortality rate, but he still didn't want any child to disappear without knowing why.

Because these children are his flesh and blood, and they are also the continuation of him after he came to this world!
Who dares to be uncomfortable with him in this matter, Zhu Changluo will definitely make his whole family feel uncomfortable!
This time it was just a simple example of killing chickens and monkeys.

Afterwards, Zhu Changluo will definitely assign Sun Xian or Wei Zhongxian to catch a few models, and then kill them one by one, so as to rectify the atmosphere in the palace!
