Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the platform, looking solemnly at Hu Fei and Li Wenzhong who were standing under the stage, with a trace of majesty between his brows.

"His Majesty..."

"Shut up! It's not your time to speak!"

Just as Hu Fei was about to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said in a deep voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Li Wenzhong had always been upright and eloquent, so he was no match for Hu Fei.

Hu Fei curled his lips and stopped talking.

"Father, Hu Fei was on duty in the Governor's Mansion for several days. He committed three crimes. First, he arrived late and left early every day. Sometimes he even left his post without permission after morning service, treating the rules as if they were nothing. Second, he could enter

The governor's office relies entirely on the imperial decree from the emperor, but he actually carries the imperial edict on his back all day just to facilitate his actions. This move is really disrespectful to the emperor!"

"Thirdly, Hu Fei neglected his duties and made many mistakes during his duty. I have asked the governor's office to carefully check and confirm that they are correct!"

Li Wenzhong raised his hands and told all three charges against Hu Fei one by one, his face filled with indignation.

As the name suggests, the morning court is similar to the morning court in the imperial court. If the emperor wants to hold a morning court, each yamen also has a morning court every day.

"Since he has made a mistake, he must be punished! Even if he is a person sent to the Governor's Mansion by my decree, he cannot be partial, but isn't fifty military sticks too heavy? With his body and bones, fifty military sticks are probably too heavy

I can’t stand it.”

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he said thoughtfully, without showing any anger, but began to intercede for Hu Fei.

"Father, before he even received a blow from the stick, he already took out a piece of Xuanwu Token and threatened my son to stop."

"The Xuanwu Order is an order from the East Palace. Although I am the Grand Governor, I don't dare to be rude to the prince, so I can only bring this son into the palace and ask my father to make the decision for me!"

Li Wenzhong bowed and continued in a deep voice, with a hint of grievance in his voice.

After listening to Li Wenzhong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frowned. Unexpectedly, the prince actually gave all the Xuanwu Orders to Hu Fei.

At this moment, a young eunuch quickly walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, Cai Yuanji, the director of the Imperial College, is outside seeking an audience."

The little eunuch lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Why is there another one?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said to himself.

After listening to the little eunuch's words, Li Wenzhong, who was originally ashen-faced, flashed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and glanced at Hu Fei proudly.

But when he saw it, he almost lost his temper, because he found that Hu Fei actually didn't care, looking away carelessly, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

What he didn't know was that Zhu Yuanzhang had already heard about Hu Fei's beating of Cai Yuanji.

"Announce him to come in."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a deep voice.

The little eunuch agreed and slowly exited.

Soon, Cai Yuanji walked in quickly from outside the palace and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Wenzhong.

"What are you here for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Cai Yuanji and asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to make the decision if you have any matters concerning me."

Cai Yuanji said with a grimace on his face, cupping his hands.

"What's the matter?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Hu Fei slapped Wei Chen in public on his first day at the Imperial College, which was against the principle of respecting a teacher. He did not apologize to Wei Chen afterwards, but instead arrogantly asked Your Majesty to make the decision!"

Cai Yuanji looked at Zhu Yuanzhang aggrievedly and said with a sad face.

After listening to Cai Yuanji's words, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly sighed and looked helplessly at Hu Fei, who had never stopped causing trouble. His teeth were itching with anger.

But before he could ask questions, the young eunuch walked in quickly again, with a look of fear on his face.

"what happened again?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the young eunuch and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Hu are here and are asking for an audience outside the palace."

The little eunuch hurriedly replied respectfully.

After listening to the little eunuch's words, Li Wenzhong and Cai Yuanji's expressions changed at the same time.

A sneer flashed across Hu Fei's lips.

"Let them in."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned gloomy, he waved his hands and said, looking a little bored.

Everything that should come and should not come came, it seemed that every time Hu Fei caused trouble, he made a lot of noise, and this time was no exception, which made Zhu Yuanzhang have a headache.

The little eunuch bowed and hurriedly exited.

Soon, Prince Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong walked into the hall together and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang at the same time.

"No need to ask, you are also here for Hu Fei, right?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong with a stern face, and said stiffly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Weiyong, who had finished his salute, rushed directly towards Hu Fei, who was carefree.

"You brat, why are you causing trouble everywhere?! Look how I will deal with you today!"

As Hu Weiyong said that, he kicked Hu Fei in the butt.

When Hu Fei saw it, he turned around and ran away!

The father and son actually started a chase in the main hall, leaving everyone present stunned.

"stop!"

Seeing this absurd scene, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then shouted sharply.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, Hu Weiyong hurriedly stopped and hurried back to where he was just now.

"Your Majesty, calm down. I acted in the palace with no disrespect to Your Majesty. It was just because the dog was too naughty and made Your Majesty angry. I was so angry for a while. I ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness."

Hu Weiyong sighed, bowed and said with a grimace.

"Do you think this is the back garden of your Hu Mansion?! How unbecoming is it to chase and fight like this?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said dissatisfied.

"Wei Chen knows his mistake."

Hu Weiyong bowed and said sincerely.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and looked at Hu Fei.

"Come back to me! Stand where you are and don't move! Otherwise, I will never forgive you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Hu Fei and said in a deep voice.

Hu Fei shrank his neck, cupped his hands, and hurriedly stood up.

"What about you? Are you here to plead for Hu Fei?"

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Biao and asked slowly.

"Reporting to my father, I heard that Duke Cao Guo escorted Hu Fei into the palace. I thought something big had happened, so I came to see if I could share my father's worries."

Zhu Biao replied respectfully.

But he was ambiguous as to whether he should plead for Hu Fei.

"I heard that you gave Hu Fei a Xuanwu Order?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked slowly.

"Back to my father, that's right."

"The last time I went to Hong Bin Tower, someone secretly followed me on my way back to the palace. Hu Fei personally escorted my son back to the palace. When we parted, my son thought of Hu Fei's loyalty and gave him a Xuanwu Order.

Father, is there anything wrong?"

Zhu Biao nodded and said clearly, with doubts on his face.

Mentioning this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the last time Hu Fei beat the school inspector Mao Xiang for the second time, and couldn't help but feel a headache again.

"There's nothing wrong with it, I'm just asking casually."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, he couldn't even personally ask who the prince gave the Xuanwu Order.

Zhu Biao nodded, stopped talking, and stepped aside. It seemed that he did not ask what happened between Li Wenzhong and Hu Fei, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he was here to protect Hu Fei.
