"As the saying goes, it's the son's fault if he doesn't teach his father."

"It's all my fault that Huan'er has become like this. I am willing to bear all the charges for Huan'er. I just hope that the emperor can let Huan'er live."

Zhu Liujiu's voice was full of determination. As a father, he was willing to bear everything for Zhu Huan.

Even if it means paying the price of life, he will not hesitate.

Zhu Huan knelt behind Zhu Liujiu, tears of regret shed in his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Liujiu, who looked as if he was dead, and slowly shook his head and did not agree.

"Brother, I can understand your feelings, but the national law is ruthless. It's not that we won't spare Zhu Huan, but that the law won't tolerate him, and God won't tolerate him."

"If we let Zhu Huan go, who will redress the grievances for those people he killed, those girls who died innocently and tragically, and their families?"

"Brother, step back. People are doing it, and God is watching. Even if Zhu Huan doesn't die today, he will die under his own cruelty tomorrow."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he waved his hand to the imperial guards, hoping that the guards would pull Zhu Huan down.

But Zhu Liujiu defended Zhu Huan tightly, his face covered with blood, and he looked extremely miserable.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to kill, Zhu Liujiu could no longer care about anything else and shouted loudly:

"Chongpachi, have you forgotten who helped your family when you were young and about to starve to death?"

Zhu Yuanzhang always remembered this matter, otherwise he would not be so kind to Zhu Liujiu.

Zhu Liujiu naturally knew it, but both parties kept this matter in their hearts. If some kindness is not said, it will last a lifetime.

But once it is said out, it is gone once it is used up, which means that Zhu Yuanzhang no longer owes Zhu Liujiu anything.

Which one is better and which one is worse can be clearly seen at a glance. If it were not for the critical moment of life and death, Zhu Liujiu could have devoured Zhu Yuanzhang for the rest of his life.

In other words, not just for a lifetime, but for generations to come, until the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

But if you propose it now, it is a one-time deal. After it is completed, no one owes anything to the other.

Sure enough, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he called the guards directly, squinted his eyes, and said coldly:

"Brother, are you determined to protect Zhu Huan?"

"Chongpachi, I only have one son. He is my lifeblood. If he dies, what's the point of my life?"

Zhu Liujiu begged, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would let his son go.

After Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, he shook his head and said:

"One code equals one code. What we owe you cannot be repaid by our people."

"We can't decide this debt for you. Except for the dead people, no one can forgive Zhu Huan for them."

"Pull it down."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words directly blocked Zhu Liujiu's retreat.

The guards came forward again, and Zhu Liujiu seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head and glanced at Zhu Huan with nostalgia again, and smiled brightly.

Then he crashed forward without looking back.

"Hurry and hold him!!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Liujiu turning around, he knew something was going to happen and immediately ordered the guards to hold Zhu Liujiu.

Unfortunately, it was a step too late after all.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, and the entire upper study room shook.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly, but all he saw was Zhu Liujiu's corpse.

Zhu Liujiu hit his head against the stone pillar of the upper study room, and his blood and brain matter flowed all over the floor.

His head was deformed due to the impact, which shows Zhu Liujiu's determination to die and his love for his son.

Even if he died, Zhu Liujiu still looked at Zhu Huan, hoping to save his son in this way.

"father!!"

Zhu Huan immediately threw himself on Zhu Liujiu and cried loudly. At this moment, he seemed to remember every detail of Zhu Liujiu and him being together.

At this moment, he felt indescribable regret for what he had done, but everything was irreversible.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his eyes were going dark for a while, and the little eunuch next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhu Yuanzhang.

Walking down the steps slowly, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Liujiu's misery, closed his eyes in pain, and turned his head away.

When he saw Zhu Huan still crying bitterly, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and kicked Zhu Huan several feet away.

"It's all your fault, you bastard. Your father has such great expectations for you. Look, what have you done?"

"Are you still a human being? You are worse than an animal, a piece of shit!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the anger was soaring to the sky, and he was about to burn himself.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red, Zhu Huan was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and kowtowed as if pounding garlic:

"Uncle, please calm down. It was my nephew who failed to live up to expectations and was a bastard that killed my father."

"I'm not a thing. Uncle, don't get angry because of me."

Zhu Yuanzhang punched and kicked him again, beating Zhu Huan to the point of dying, and then said angrily:

"Give him to our custody. No one is allowed to see him without our permission, otherwise he will be killed without mercy."

Zhu Huan's eyes showed a trace of joy. No matter what, he finally saved a dog's life.

Dad's death is irreversible. All we can do now is to save one by one.

Mao Xiang took Zhu Huan away with his royal guards, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the young eunuch to prepare a pair of golden nanmu for Zhu Liujiu's glorious burial.

Hu Weiyong was standing by at a loss at this moment. After all, if the responsibility was investigated, it was Hu Weiyong who caused the incident.

Because Hu Weiyong was investigating the rumors about going to sea and discovered that the man behind the scenes was actually Zhu Huan.

Realizing that the problem was serious, Hu Weiyong asked Jin Yiwei to investigate Zhu Huan, and all the good deeds Zhu Huan had done were written down in the memorial.

This is the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is so angry. If he is said to be the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhu Yuanzhang can still forgive him.

After all, just kill a few businessmen and use them as scapegoats. Zhu Yuanzhang could accept it before things got out of hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang's immunity to corruption and bribery has increased a lot now. In any case, he is a nephew of the Zhu family, and he can be punished with small punishments and big warnings.

But raping women of the people, indignantly taking human lives, and even causing outrage among people and gods, this was what Zhu Yuanzhang could not tolerate.

This is already a fundamental issue affecting the Zhu family, and Zhu Yuanzhang must not be careless.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on killing Zhu Huan, but he unexpectedly forced his cousin to death, which was beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectation.

It also made Hu Weiyong break into a cold sweat, fearing that Zhu Yuanzhang would blame him.

After everyone left, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Hu Weiyong:

"Wei Yong, you did a good job this time."

"The Ming Dynasty needs capable ministers and direct ministers like you."

"Don't worry about this. We won't blame you. If we do, we'll only blame that bitch Zhu Huan."

"You've worked hard these days, go down and rest first."

Hu Weiyong felt completely relieved at this moment and quickly prostrated:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Zhu Yuanzhang left, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao came together.

They were talking and laughing in Kunning Palace just now, but then they received news from Zhu Yuanzhang that Zhu Liujiu was dead, which really shocked them.

"Jongba, what happened?"

As soon as Queen Ma entered the door, she asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, Empress Ma knew about the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Liujiu. She would never believe that Zhu Yuanzhang would kill his cousin.

Moreover, Zhu Liujiu was a decent person and would never do anything out of line, which puzzled Empress Ma even more.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave a bitter smile, and then angrily told him about the good things Zhu Huan had done, and also told about Zhu Liujiu's suicide by hitting a pillar in order to save Zhu Huan.

As a result, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Biao opened his mouth wide and asked in disbelief:

"Are you saying that Zhu Huan raped the women of the people and took human lives lightly?"

"How can this be?"

He still remembered his former cousin, who was gentle and polite, and he couldn't believe that this was true.

Queen Ma was still more rigorous and asked:

"Have these been confirmed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said:

"Both Hu Weiyong and Mao Xiang have verified it, and it is indeed true."

Empress Ma and Zhu Biao were both a little speechless, but they hadn't seen each other for several years, and one person's personality was so twisted.

"This matter arose because of going to sea. Do you still want to let Li go to sea?"
