Only those who have understood the burial system will know how cruel it is.

Zhu Ying's eyes gradually became moist when she saw the burial method of Xiaoling Guards.

The brief introduction in the dossier gave Zhu Ying a sad scene.

One thousand two hundred Xiaoling guards dug a deep pit themselves.

Then they dressed neatly, lined up calmly, and stood row by row in the pit.

The man above, Xiaoling Weipaoze, gritted his teeth and had tears in his eyes.

Throw the earth towards the brothers who once fought side by side in the pit.

Among the Xiaoling guards who were buried below, some were afraid, some were frightened, and some were crying.

However, no matter how panicked they were, they still stood there without making any move.

Let the soil fall from the sky, from the soles of your feet to your waist, until it completely covers your head.

Just like this, 1,200 warriors were buried alive.

"What do these things have to do with them? The celestial phenomena shift, the earth dragon rolls, there is nothing they can stop."

Zhu Ying's eyes gradually turned red, her voice was choked and she muttered to herself.

These people all died because of him.

There are a total of 1,200 Xiaoling Guards. Each Xiaoling Guard is an old soldier and a fierce soldier. They have made indelible contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, he died because of him.

There may be preferential treatment for their wives, children, and parents, but dying like this is completely meaningless.

The heavenly phenomena shifted and the earth dragon rolled.

Zhu Ying knew that this was probably caused by his arrival.

It doesn’t even have anything to do with Zhu Xiongying.

Therefore, these 1,200 people died unjustly because of themselves.

"Why should we revive this ancient dross like sacrificial burial? It must be completely banned!"

Zhu Ying gritted her teeth and said.

Historically, the palace rites that began to disappear gradually were restored in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is the most cruel and inhumane funeral system that originated from slave society. The reason why it was restored by Zhu Yuanzhang was actually influenced by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

Starting from the Song Dynasty, the Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolian and other frontier ethnic groups successively entered the Central Plains. They all had the tradition of human sacrifice, which prompted the rise of human sacrifice in the Central Plains again.

In the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, not only palace residents were buried, but private citizens were also encouraged to be buried.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang grew up under the rule of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, and his customs were also affected.

This led to the revival of the burial system.

Zhu Ying calmed down and continued to look through the files.

Looking further down, there is nothing else, just records related to sacrifices.

"We must think of a way to convince the old man to cancel the tradition of sacrificial burial."

Zhu Ying put down the file and started to think about where to start.

This kind of ideological change is the most difficult

Daming Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the dragon chair, turned his head to look at the imperial edict, rubbed his swollen head, and then left from behind Fengtian Hall.

With the sound of the eunuch's "retirement" and the shouts of long live the officials, the morning court was considered to be over.

"Jiang Wei, please send the files that our eldest grandson wants to him."

After the morning court, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jiang Yu. Obviously, he was more concerned about his eldest grandson.

"Reply to Your Majesty, it's been half an hour." Jiang Wei bowed and said.

"Liu He, prepare the car. We promised Da Sun today that we will go to the Gunpowder Department with him to have a look." Zhu Yuanzhang directly ordered.

When the memorial is issued, it can only be postponed.

"I obey the decree."

After changing into casual clothes, Zhu Yuanzhang got on the carriage and went directly to Zhu Ying's yard.

"Fourth brother, you should be filial and bring back our eldest nephews for our father."

Outside Fengtian Hall, many civil and military officials left one after another.

Jin King Zhu Fan walked up to Yan King Zhu Di and said with a mocking look on his face.

As soon as the rumors about the tomb of King Yu came out, King Zhu Fan of Jin thought of Zhu Ying, the owner of the tea house by the Qinhuai River.

As the rumors became more and more unscrupulous, especially when they were still spread in the palace, even the eunuchs and maids had no taboos.

Jin Wang Zhu Fan knew that this was probably his father's handiwork.

After thinking for a moment, I realized that this had something to do with Zhu Ying.

My father often went out of the palace, paid attention to the teahouse, checked the courtyard where Zhu Ying lived, and the figures of the royal guards, and basically figured out the general matter.

What surprised Jin Wang Zhu Fan the most was that Zhu Ying was actually brought to the capital by his fourth brother, Yan Wang Zhu Di.

He immediately laughed.

The thoughts of King Yan Zhu Di are so obvious.

The two brothers had conflicts, so after the morning court today, Zhu Fan couldn't help but take the initiative to mock them.

When Zhu Di heard this, his face showed no emotion. Instead, he asked: "What does third brother mean by this? Isn't it a good thing that our eldest nephew is back?"

"Is it possible that the third brother has a problem with my eldest nephew? When I first met my eldest nephew, I couldn't believe it, so I brought him to the capital to let my father see what was going on."

"Now it seems that he is really our eldest nephew."

Hearing what his fourth brother Zhu Di said, Zhu Fan sneered and said: "What can I say? My eldest nephew is back. I am very happy for you. I think my father is also very happy."

"The eldest nephew has been my father's darling since he was a child. From what I see, you should stop thinking about some things. This is fate."

After Zhu Fan finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Zhu Di's answer.

For his younger brother, he certainly understands his desire for the throne.

If he had been born earlier, ahead of him and his second brother Zhu Xi, maybe his father would have passed the throne to him.

After all, among the many brothers, the fourth brother Zhu Di looks the most similar to his father, and even has similar personalities.

However, in Zhu Fan's view, this was Zhu Di imitating his father, just like imitating Dong Shi and learning to walk in Handan, which was extremely ridiculous.

He and his second brother are still here.

Although the second brother Zhu Xi has been locked up and locked up, he is not even qualified to go to court now.

He himself also gained a reputation for cruelty because of certain things.

In Zhu Fan's opinion, this reputation for cruelty might have been secretly instigated by King Zhu Di of Yan.

Although there is no evidence, when you see a person unhappy, you feel that everything is done by him.

If the father wants to make his fourth brother Zhu Di the emperor, there is only one way.

That would be possible only if he and his second brother were deposed as kings.

Therefore, the fourth brother Zhu Di's desire for the throne, in Zhu Fan's view, was to put himself in a desperate situation, which was the opposite of nature.

Zhu Di stood there, watching his third brother Zhu Fan leave, his eyes began to turn gloomy.

His sharp eyes sparkled with the desire to choose and devour others.

Originally, the King of Yan, Zhu Di, also had a bad temper. After being slapped so hard in the face by his third brother, Zhu Fan, the anger in his heart could hardly be suppressed.

But he could only endure it.

If these words were to break out directly and reach the ears of my father, the outcome might be very disastrous.

Zhu Di knew clearly in his heart that even if his father guessed what he was thinking, it would not matter.

To a certain extent, I sent my eldest nephew here, provided him with delicious food and drinks, and returned it to the teahouse and courtyard.

That's all. As long as you don't take action, no one can blame you.

His father had no reason to punish himself, even when Zhu Ying's identity was revealed and he even entered the palace.

He will also receive rewards from his father.

So what if Zhu Ying becomes the grandson?

The Ming Dynasty governed the country with filial piety, and he still wanted to thank himself for finding him.

This is the conspiracy, Zhu Di's conspiracy.

Anyone who is smart can see Zhu Di's thoughts.
