At the city gate.
The quarrel between several county princes continues.
The King of Zhennan, who had always behaved kindly in front of a bunch of elders, did not look weak at all in front of his few bastard younger brothers.
King Guangtong and King Yangzong sang in harmony, making the fat prince turn red with anger and shouting angrily.
"What kind of airs does this king have? You two haven't even entered the city yet, and you are so rude. Do you take me, the second brother, in your eyes?"
Compared to King Zhennan's rage, the other two were very calm.
King Guangtong made a "tsk" sound and Pili Yangqiu said.
"Why are you so angry, second brother? How dare we brothers not take you seriously? You are the one who will inherit the Min Palace in the future. It's too late for us to flatter you!"
Obviously, King Yang Zong and King Guangtong are in the same group. After the words fell, King Yang Zong looked lazy and pretended to be angry.
"Fourth brother, you are wrongly blaming the second brother. What's the use of flattering the second brother? Not taking the elder brother seriously is what the second brother likes to do most, isn't it?"
As he said that, King Guangtong also looked like he was sighing and said.
“The fifth brother is right, but we can’t do what the second brother did!”
"Brother has made plans. Thanks to His Majesty's grace, we finally get out of the feudal country. When we return, we have to stop by and offer incense to our eldest brother. Fourth brother, do you want to go as well?"
King Yang Zong shrank exaggeratedly and said with surprise.
"Then I don't dare. I would like to advise you, brother, not to go. Otherwise, you will make some people unhappy. If you die in an unknown way, it will be miserable!"
King Guangtong and King Yangzong seemed to be talking to each other, but the meaning behind their words was very strange, and they didn't know who they were talking to.
This kind of thing, as soon as you hear it, involves clan secrets.
The group of officials at the back, except for Hu Hui, Yang Shan and Shu Liang, all lowered their heads in tacit understanding and pretended that they had heard nothing.
At the same time, he ordered the officers and soldiers guarding the surrounding area to once again expand the area where entry and exit were not allowed at the city gate.
As the target of ridicule, the fat King Zhennan was trembling all over, and he raised his hand and pointed at King Guangtong and King Yangzong.
Shu Liang had no doubt that if he had a stick in his hand at this time, he would definitely swing it without any politeness.
But in the end, King Zhennan still didn’t pounce on him, he just yelled and cursed.
“You two bastards, I have tolerated you all the way, and now you are in the capital, are you still causing trouble?”
“You two are fooling around on your own, and I will punish you again and again. The majestic county prince’s palace can’t even afford two ceremonial officers. It’s a shame that the king has taken you along all the way, ungrateful bastards!”
These words seemed to poke a sore spot in King Guangtong's heart. He suddenly became excited and pointed at the Zhennan Wangdao opposite.
“You’re the one doing the mischief? Don’t think that I don’t even know what you’re doing.”
“If the old man hadn’t forced me to do so, do you think we brothers would have come together with you?”
King Yang Zong also snorted coldly and said.
“Second brother, don’t worry, if the old man hadn’t been afraid that our brothers would embarrass him this time, we wouldn’t want to see you again for a day!”
Shu Liang listened and felt more and more interesting.
Look at this, these princes are not like brothers, but like life and death enemies.
Looking at the slightly old robes of King Guangtong and King Yangzong, Shu Liang understood.
It seems that these two county princes are not living a very good life.
The more such a person is, the stronger his self-esteem actually is.
Looking at the gorgeous robes and expensive jade pendants on King Zhennan, and then looking at the frayed royal robes on his own body, King Guangtong suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
As soon as he raised his head, he found a man in ordinary eunuch clothes staring at him meaningfully.
At this moment, King Guangtong’s face turned red, he stared at Shu Liang fiercely and said.
“How dare you look directly at me? Is this how you are taught to behave in the palace?”
Seeing the arrogance of the old prince Min, Shu Liang immediately understood the emperor's intention of telling him not to violate the etiquette.
In the Yongle period, the python robe was a gift and could not be used except by princes and princes.
This old prince is a rigid person. When he was young, his status as a chamberlain was low.
If he saw the eunuch Shu Liang wearing the same python robe as his old man, he would probably get angry on the spot.
However, what Shu Liang did not expect was that this plain robe indeed satisfied the old prince Min, but it would bring about such disaster.
The robe he wore today was what an ordinary chamberlain would wear. At most, it was made of a better material, but there was no special mark to prove his identity.
Therefore, King Guangtong didn’t think much about it and just thought he was an ordinary servant sent by the palace to assist the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.
After all, with their status, they would not be able to allow the high-ranking officials in the palace to come out to greet them.
Therefore, King Guangtong was angry and swung the whip.
But he soon discovered that he was wrong.
The sound of whips hitting the air was heard, and the whip was about to fall on the servant who dared to humiliate him.
But there is still a faint smile on this face, he is not afraid, let alone avoids it.
At the same time, behind him, one of the two chamberlains, who had their heads lowered, quickly moved out of the way and stood in front of Shu Liang.
That big hand firmly grasped the whip that was less than three inches away from Shu Liang. Because the whip came so hard, there was a bloodstain on the hand of the chamberlain.
The bright red dripping on the muddy ground is particularly conspicuous.
However, the servant didn't seem to notice it. As soon as he tightened his hand on the whip, the whip fell out of King Guangtong's hand and was thrown to the ground.
King Guangtong's heart tightened and he knew it was not good.
There are not many people with such skill in the palace.
But even such a person is accompanying the chamberlain he wants to whip, which shows that the latter's identity is not simple.
King Guangtong was more clever in his thinking, but his brother King Yangzong was impulsive.
Seeing this, he immediately took two steps forward and shouted angrily.
"What the hell? What is Fourth Brother's status? It's a compliment to be willing to hit you. You scoundrels still dare to snatch Fourth Brother's whip. Are the rules in the palace really a waste of time?"
Shu Liang was not angry. On the contrary, he was very calm. He reached out and gently pushed the eunuch who was blocking him away. Shu Liang cupped his hand and said.
“I’m going to tell you the rules in the palace. It’s a rule to punish nobles, and it’s a great honor to do it yourself. The slaves must stay close to each other and must not hide. You are right about this, but...”
Putting down his hand, Shu Liang's face turned cold and he said calmly.
"Don't forget, your lord, this is not the prince's fiefdom, but the capital city, under the emperor's feet!"
"These chamberlains in our family are all slaves of the emperor. It is not a pity to die for a humble life. But in the final analysis, whether you should be beaten or punished, you must obey the emperor."
Speaking, Shu Liang tilted his head, turned to King Guangtong who was a little guilty and bowed respectfully, saying.
“It’s our family’s fault that this whip didn’t make the prince happy.”
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, when we return to the palace, our family will go to the palace to get this whip back. If Your Majesty teaches you a lesson, our family will keep it in mind and never forget it!”
