The empty square in front of Jingren Hall was filled with the sound of being whipped.
Whips were flying, and rags and flesh were flying everywhere. The hands of those veteran killers who had been stabbing people with knives all their lives were actually shaking a little at this moment. But with the emperor's grandson beside them, they did not dare to show favoritism at all.
I can close my eyes and whip away hard.
The strange thing is that those noble sons who were whipped used to cry as soon as their father picked up the whip and stick. But now, they all gritted their teeth and did not make a sound even if their fingers were pressed into the cracks of the floor tiles.
cry.
"Son!" Marquis Jingchuan cracked his whip, so hard that the skin on his younger son's shoulder was bruised, and he shouted, "Well done, he's got a lot of talent, just like you and me!"
On both sides, those watching the execution, the Habayashi Guards selected from the elite army, looked at the second generation they had always looked down upon, with some admiration and admiration in their eyes.
"Hitting the son's body hurts the father's heart!"
At the entrance of the hall, Zhu Yunxi, who was about to go to the flogging scene, said calmly, "I hope they can understand that their father and brother's titles were hard-earned. Whether they can become adults depends on their own destiny!"
After saying that, he turned to Wang Sha and said, "Wait a minute, you go and pass on Gu's will. All the sons and daughters of the heroes will recover from their injuries and then leave the capital for ten days. No one is allowed to bring his own soldiers and slaves, and each person is only allowed to have one pair of armor and one horse.
, a gun, a knife and a bow. Send them to the Yunnan Army, starting from young soldiers. Anyone who disobeys the solitary order will be punished for bullying the army!"
"My slave obeys the order!" Wang Sha bowed in response and trotted over with a fly whisk under his arm.
Zhu Yunxi turned around, no longer looking at the scene in front of him, and led the palace servants towards the old man's bedroom.
In the late autumn afternoon, the sun is slightly warm.
Remember the URL m.wxsy．
Fallen leaves either fall slowly in the autumn sunshine, or sway swaying on the branches. The wind blows through the long corridor, and those fallen leaves rustle.
As soon as Zhu Yunxi walked outside the old man's palace, he heard the old man's hearty laughter coming from inside, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
Seeing the emperor's grandson coming, the eunuch outside the door quickly went in to report.
"The grandson is here! Come in quickly!" the old man said loudly in the palace.
Zhu Yunxi strode in, "Grandpa Huang, why are you so happy? My grandson can hear your laughter outside!"
As soon as I stepped into the hall, I saw the old man sitting on the round table, eating dumplings with a smile. Next to him, Princess Ningguo was peeling garlic for the old man with a smile.
"I have met His Highness the Grandson of the Emperor!" Princess Ningguo, who was in her forties, was slightly stout, and her face looked very much like Queen Ma's round face. She knelt down and said to Fu'an, "Just now, my father was still talking about you!"
Zhu Yunxi turned his body half sideways and did not receive the full courtesy. He smiled and said, "Second aunt, we are all members of our own family, why do we need so many courtesy!"
"I don't dare to be negligent!" Princess Ning Guo said with a smile, "If the etiquette is not thorough, my father will say, you elders, why are you putting on such a arrogant air in front of our eldest grandson?"
"Nonsense!" The old man swallowed a dumpling, exhaled hot air, and said with a smile, "When did we say that?" Then he smiled at Zhu Yunxi and said, "Just in time, I was just about to ask someone to call you. Your second aunt personally
The dumplings made with mutton and green onions have just come out of the pan, come over and eat!"
Zhu Yunxi sat down with a smile, and the eunuch brought the tableware.
Princess Ningguo covered her mouth and smiled, "Father, my daughter made bread for you, cooked it for you, peeled garlic and told you jokes. You didn't even say you would let your daughter eat one, but on the contrary, you were afraid that your grandson would eat it.
It’s like you’re not interested!”
"You are the only one who likes to be picky!" The old man put another hot dumpling into his mouth, sweating on his forehead, and said with a smile, "You are still missing a bite of dumpling? You are in your forties, and you still have trouble with our eldest grandson! You are petty!"
Princess Ningguo is the legitimate second daughter of Queen Ma. She has been deeply loved by the old man since she was a child. She is the only princess among the princesses who dares to say this in front of the old man.
Zhu Yunxi knew that what she said was actually to make the old man happy.
"Today I'm borrowing the help of Grandpa Huang and trying out Second Aunt's craftsmanship!" Zhu Yunxi picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, I just remembered that I haven't even been to your house for so many years!
"As he said that, he picked up a dumpling beautifully.
"I wish you could go, Your Highness!" Princess Ning Guo said with a smile, "When you were young, the old lady often carried you around every house. Now that you are older, and you are a king and a minister, we want to invite you, but we dare not!
"
The old lady she refers to is Zhu Yunxi's grandmother, the late Queen Ma. When Queen Ma was around, she often visited her daughter's house with her young grandson in her arms.
"What dare you? My family has to come and go often!" The old man stuffed two cloves of garlic into his mouth and chewed them together with the dumplings. They tasted delicious.
Seeing that the old man's forehead was covered with sweat, Zhu Yunxi advised, "Grandpa Huang, don't eat too hot food, it's not good!"
"That's not much to say!" The old man ate a big meal, "You have to eat the dumplings. In the past, we kept the pot and ate them. The hotter they were, the more delicious they became!" After saying that, he looked at his bowl and said to the eunuch next to him, "Jinge."
What? Bring us some more!"
Zhu Yunxi took the vinegar bottle from the eunuch and poured it for the old man, "This is a gift from my second uncle during the Chinese New Year this year! Haven't you finished eating yet?"
"That's it for this bottle. I guess after finishing it, your second uncle will send a new one!" As he said, the old man looked out the window at the slightly sinking sun, "This year has gone so fast!
"
As people get older, they always feel a little sad from time to time! Especially when my sons are not around.
Seeing the old man like this, Princess Ningguo quickly smiled and said, "Father, you are so lucky! Look at the dumplings made by my daughter, the jealousy sent by my son, and your eldest grandson to accompany you!"
"Haha, you are the only one who can talk!" The old man smiled, "Grandson, are you done?"
Zhu Yunxi knew what the old man meant and said with a smile, "After we have dealt with it, the children of the heroes who caused the trouble, Chang Yuan, the second son of the Chang family, received fifty lashes, and the others thirty lashes. Their father and brother will give them some days to recuperate, and then go to Yunnan to take a bath.
When serving in the spring department, you are not allowed to bring servants or soldiers, let them start as small soldiers!"
"Well, well done! We need to make these gangsters have some memory!" said the old man.
However, Princess Ning Guo on the side frowned tightly and exclaimed, "Thirty lashes? Isn't that enough to kill you? Are you going to be sent to Yunnan to serve as a soldier?" After saying that, she said to Zhu Yunxi with some grievances, "Your Highness,
Is it okay for me to be shameless and ask for a favor?"
"Do you want to plead for them?" Zhu Yunxi put down his chopsticks and asked seriously.
"It's not a plea!" Princess Ningguo continued, "I can't control other people, but the boy from the Hou family in Taiyuan County, can you not let him go! That child has been pampered since he was a child, and his face is as thin as a girl. Yunnan
It's so far away, and I heard that there are poisonous insects and miasma, and the only ones we have to deal with are those barbarians who drink hair and blood."
"He grew up in fine clothes and fine food, how could he ever suffer that kind of hardship? He is so far away, what if something goes wrong..."
Snapped!
Before Zhu Yunxi could say anything, the old man became so angry that he slammed the bowl and chopsticks onto the table, smashing them into pieces.
"Shut up!" The old man angrily yelled at Princess Ning Guo, "You, a woman, can say this? When will it be your turn to interrupt in military and national affairs? I dare you to come to the palace today, not to show your filial piety by giving us dumplings, but
Do you want to intercede for that little bastard?"
"Father, forgive me!" Princess Ning Guo knelt down quickly to apologize and cried, "Daughter, my daughter is not begging for mercy, but really...that child is not someone else!" As she said that, she cried loudly,
"You also know that the youngest son of the Hou family in Taiyuan County is the nephew of the prince-in-law. The child lost his mother when he was young and was raised in his daughter's home. In her heart, he is no different from his own child!"
"Good boys are spoiled by women like you!" The old man's anger continued, "The children of martial arts meritorious deeds were born in a mansion and raised in the hands of women. Apart from not learning how to make trouble at home, there is nothing wrong with them.
Not even bloody!"
"How about thin skin and tender meat? We were so embarrassed when we heard it. A man has a face like a woman, and you still call him a man?"
"If you don't kill them, it's because they are heroes. How come you have to endure hardship when you go to Yunnan to serve as soldiers?"
"Back then, I followed us and crawled out of the dead without suffering any pain! It's so damned that every generation is worse than the last. If the Ming Dynasty were all warriors like this, why would they fight in the future?"
The old man was furious, so Zhu Yunxi advised him, "Grandpa Huang, please calm down first!"
"Young men, you are not afraid of getting into trouble, and you are not afraid of those who are arrogant and disobedient. But if you have to withstand a beating, what good man is not born from a beating? Our eldest grandson has worked hard to give these little bastards a way out. You'd better run away from us.
Come here to complain!" The old man said angrily, "Don't say it, he is just your nephew. Even if he is your son, we will show no mercy!"
"Grandpa Huang, the second aunt is a woman and has a soft heart. How can she understand what you are saying!" Zhu Yunxi continued to persuade the old man, "Her temperament is just like that of my grandmother, and she is the worst kind of person. She doesn't want to see the younger generation suffer!"
Hearing Zhu Yunxi mention the late queen, and then looking at his daughter who was kneeling and crying until she couldn't make a sound, the old man's expression softened a little, "Get up! I'll spare you this time, but in the future, don't come to us to talk about this kind of thing."
Don't say it in front of our eldest grandson!"
