Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

"Zhu Youjian, you are so shameless."

"You are really not a man. It was obviously you who brought Daming down, but you still dare not admit it."

"I was really confused at the beginning, how could I pass the throne to you?"

Zhu Youxiao yelled and cursed.

Zhu Youjian was obviously not to be outdone: "Zhu Youxiao, you can stop talking nonsense."

"If you hadn't destroyed the foundation of Ming Dynasty, would Ming Dynasty have perished?"

"I'm probably the only one willing to take on this mess like you."

"You yourself failed to live up to expectations. Even your own prince was killed by Hakka and Wei Zhongxian."

"Otherwise, I won't be the one to take the blame."

Zhu Youjian's words were very unpleasant, which made Zhu Youxiao go crazy.

Even before Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Xiao came over, they heard the two scolding each other from a distance.

Listening to this somewhat unpleasant sound, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

The descendants of future generations are really not up to expectations, each one is worse than the last.

Now, the brothers are directly turning against each other and shouting insults at each other.

It was simply a disgrace to the old Zhu family.

How could Lao Zhu's family have such useless descendants?

"You two, shut up!"

"That's not embarrassing enough, is it?"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, a cold shout could already be heard.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang is here, and he will soon come out of the pigsty.

The pig pen is not far from the chicken pen, so Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang can see Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian when they get closer.

Seeing one being locked in a pig pen and the other in a chicken pen, both Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

In any case, they are the owners of this Taoyuan wonderland, and Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian are guests.

Moreover, he is also the emperor of Ming Dynasty, so he is a person of status.

How can these two people be locked up in a place like this? There is really no way to treat guests.

Moreover, these two people are still Zhu Yuanzhang's direct descendants, so they must consider Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings.

Immediately, Li Xiao lowered his face: "Old Tian, ​​didn't I tell you to take care of Zhu Youjian?"

"Why did you lock him in a place like this? There is really no way to treat guests."

When Tian Zhiwei heard this, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Then he talked about what Hu Bo said yesterday: "Brother Xiao, big brother."

"I know it's not okay and not good to keep the two of them in a place like this."

"But there's nothing I can do about it."

"Didn't you see that Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian started fighting after he arrived yesterday?"

"And it's pretty heavy to start with."

"If we let the two of them outside, we'd be afraid of something happening."

"Originally I wanted to inform you two, but it was getting late, so we took the initiative and locked them here temporarily."

"Brother, Brother Xiao, I know I was wrong."

Finally, Tian Zhiwei even betrayed him and actually admitted his mistake.

Jian Tian Zhiwei has a good attitude and has valid reasons.

Even if Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang were slightly dissatisfied, they could not say anything more.

"Okay, Li Xiao, Tian Zhiwei did the right thing." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let's go see the new one first."

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards Zhu Youxiao.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has never met Zhu Youxiao, there are only two outsiders here, either Zhu Youjian or Zhu Youxiao, and they will never admit their mistakes.

After getting closer, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused when he looked at Zhu Youxiao, who had a bloated face and an abstract appearance.

Zhu Youxiao can't be said to be ugly, but he took too many red pills, which caused edema all over his body.

Therefore, the current situation is really difficult to describe.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao like this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deeply.

"Whose descendant are you, and how did you become so weird?"

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Youjian and asked aloud: "Are you sure he is your eldest brother?"

"Are you from my Zhu family's royal family?"

Zhu Youjian nodded: "Taizu, he is indeed my eldest brother, he is the Emperor of Tianqi Zhu Youxiao."

After receiving Zhu Youjian's affirmative answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed deeper.

Why did Lao Zhu's family have such a strange emperor?

Looking at the look on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, everyone could see it.

That's how Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't like Zhu Youxiao.

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone present really didn't like Zhu Youxiao's appearance.

It was just too uncomfortable.

You can't blame Zhu Yuanzhang for judging people by their appearance. In fact, Zhu Youxiao's appearance is a bit abstract and uncomfortable.

At this moment, Zhu Youjian also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was already feeling a little uncomfortable because of his weird appearance.

And he also recognized Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him.

Not only that Zhu Yuanzhang is exactly the same as the portrait in the ancestral temple, Zhu Youjian is even more respectful to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Immediately, Zhu Youxiao spoke: "Unworthy descendant Zhu Youxiao has met the great ancestor."

"Great Grandfather Jin An!"

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao bowed his head to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Facing the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not dare to show any slight or contempt.

Although the Ming Dynasty is dead, the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang is their ancestor cannot be changed.

Moreover, in the ancestral motto of Lao Zhu’s family, the word filial piety ranks first.

No descendant of the Zhu family would neglect their ancestors.

Looking at Zhu Youxiao kneeling in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly: "Get up."

"Tell me, how did you become like this?"

Although Zhu Youxiao's appearance is ugly, it can be seen that he was not born with it. It must be something happened the day after tomorrow that caused this.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Youxiao was stunned.

He thought about many questions that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask him, and also thought about many ways to deal with them and how to say them.

But I didn't expect that the first thing Zhu Yuanzhang did when he came up was to ask him about his appearance.

Although Zhu Youxiao is not very handsome, he is definitely not ugly.

But because he indulged too much and took too many soothsayers' so-called magic elixirs, he became bloated.

He looked like this before he died, but he didn't expect that he still looks like this now.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang, he would definitely not dare to tell the truth.

Did he tell Zhu Yuanzhang that he became like this because he took too much elixir?

He would definitely be scolded to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, confirming his reputation as a foolish king.

Zhu Youxiao hesitated for a long time, but didn't answer.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned again.

Although the expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face had changed and became increasingly ugly, Zhu Youxiao still did not answer.

At this time, Zhu Youjian on the side couldn't sit still.

He also heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words. Zhu Youxiao didn’t dare to say it, but he, Zhu Youjian, dared to say it.

And Zhu Youjian really wanted to tell Zhu Yuanzhang these ridiculous things about Zhu Youxiao.

"Grandpa Taizu, the reason why my eldest brother is like this is not because he took too many red pills." Zhu Youjian said on the side.

"Red Pill? What is that?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.

Hearing this word, Zhu Youxiao's expression changed obviously, and he seemed a little ashamed.

Zhu Youjian couldn't control that much and continued to say: "Grandpa Taizu, Hongwan is a kind of elixir refined by alchemists."

"My eldest brother's life is very corrupt. He only knows about sensuality and debauchery every day."

"In order to cater to him, many treacherous ministers paid tribute to him with this so-called panacea so that he could continue to enjoy himself."

"My eldest brother still believed it and took a lot of it all day long."

"So at a young age, his health failed, and he ended up looking like this."

Zhu Youjian said calmly.

Hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Youxiao with a dark face: "Tell us whether what Zhu Youjian said is true."

Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry and annoyed at this moment.

Forget about being extravagant, how come there are still people who believe what those alchemists say and eat those weird and weird things?

What a disappointment!

Zhu Youxiao looked at the dark-faced Zhu Yuanzhang, with his heart in his throat.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself was already very evil, and now he was staring at him with an unhappy expression.

Zhu Youxiao was immediately unable to resist.

"Grandpa Taizu, I.I."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth, he realized that everything he said seemed to be wrong, so he simply stopped talking.

He knelt down directly and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Great Grandfather, the unworthy descendants know that they are wrong."

"Unworthy descendants know they are wrong."

Seeing the inhuman Zhu Youxiao kowtowing in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang felt mixed emotions in his heart.

"Okay, the Ming Dynasty is dead anyway."

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiongzhi: "Li Xiongzhi, bring them all out."

"It's not a problem to be locked up in a place like this."

Li Xiongzhi heard this and quickly brought Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian out.

Tian Zhiwei took the two of them to wash up and wash away the odor from their bodies.

After everything was done, everyone sat together and prepared to have breakfast.

This time, breakfast was very quiet.

Even Tian Zhiwei, who has always been talkative, only ate a token amount and then closed his mouth.

The whole dining atmosphere seemed very solemn.

But fortunately, it was over soon.

After finishing the meal, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Youxiao and said calmly: "Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youjian said that you are the king of the Ming Empire's subjugation."

"We were skeptical before, but we didn't expect that you are really a dissolute emperor."

"It seems that what Zhu Youjian said is true. Is the real reason for the demise of Ming Dynasty in your hands?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao quickly defended himself: "Grandpa Taizu, although I am not a good emperor, I am definitely not the king who destroyed the Ming Dynasty."

"I admit that I don't go to court or care about political affairs, but the Ming Dynasty was relatively stable during the Tianqi years."

"Taxes have been collected, not many people have rebelled, and the country has not been lost."

Zhu Youxiao's words are obviously talking about Chongzhen Zhu Youjian.

After all, in Zhu Youjian's hands, Ming Dynasty collapsed across the board.

Not only was there no money, but the people were rebelling inside and there were foreign enemies attacking outside.

In the end, half of the Ming Dynasty was lost, which directly led to the demise of the Ming Empire.

Although Zhu Youxiao did not say a single word or sentence directly about Zhu Youjian, the meaning inside and outside of these words all pointed to Zhu Youjian.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhu Youjian couldn't sit still again.

I didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to be so yin and yang.

This move meant that Sang Shuhuai was played so clearly by him.

"Zhu Youxiao, what the hell do you mean?"

"Do you know why I couldn't collect taxes during the Chongzhen period? That's because your subordinate Wei Zhongxian collected taxes forty years in advance."

"They have all received it from the year of Tianqi to the thirty years of Chongzhen!"

"When the people are oppressed like this, do you think they will rebel?"

"You still have the nerve to talk about foreign enemies and lose your country?"

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Youxiao, and there was even some resentment in his eyes.

"If it weren't for your subordinate Wei Zhongxian to control the government and enrich his own pockets, would I even have to worry about military pay?"

"Will the officers and soldiers of Liaodong be so incompetent?"

"Hou Jin saw the trouble you left behind, so he attacked me when the Ming Dynasty was weak."

"Isn't all this because of you?"

"Why do you still have the nerve to say it?"

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Youxiao, and his crazy output made Zhu Youxiao shut his mouth.

Obviously, Zhu Youxiao himself was a little guilty on these issues.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Xiao were indifferent and looked at Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian quietly.

I'm afraid these two people know the truth better than anyone else.

Zhu Youxiao felt miserable, but he didn't say it.

It is true that he is semi-illiterate, and it is true that he is a ridiculous emperor, but in Zhu Youxiao's view, he cannot be blamed for this.

His father Guangzong Zhu Changluo didn't care about him at all, and his mother died early.

It was Hakka who pulled him up with one hand.

In such a place of intrigue and conspiracy in the palace, he managed to survive and finally sat on the throne.

You said he didn't trust the Hakka family or the eunuchs, who else could he trust?

When he first took the throne, Zhu Youxiao thought that he wanted to be a good emperor and do something great.

But there is always a gap between reality and dreams, and reality is a bit hurtful.

Whether it was memorials from various places or battles between various parties in the court, he never tired of it.

Even the sight of those court ministers made him feel sick.

I feel that these people in the Ming court are too hypocritical.

Just at this time, he discovered something more interesting, carpentry.

From then on, in order to escape from the court affairs, Zhu Youxiao became crazy about carpentry.

As for the affairs of the court, he didn't want to care about it, and he didn't bother to care about it.

Since those ministers like to think about the Zhu family and the Ming Dynasty so much, then let them do it themselves.

As for Wei Zhongxian, he is the most diligent worker under him, okay?

Anyway, I don't have to do anything, I can just leave everything to Wei Zhongxian.

As long as there are no problems with the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty does not collapse, everything else will be fine.

Compared to being an emperor who has many affairs at night, Zhu Youxiao prefers to be a happy person who doesn't want to worry about anything.

The emergence of Wei Zhongxian perfectly solved this problem.

Besides, he trusted the eunuchs more than the ministers of the court.

As for the harem, Zhu Youxiao was also powerless.
