The Queen watched, and then she stepped forward, holding Princess Gong's hand, and interrupted them: "Carry the person to the back hall and let Xiao Yuanzheng and the others take a look."
The emperor then remembered this matter, and it was more important to take care of his injuries now, so he quickly asked people to carry Prince Gong to the back hall. Xiao Yuanzheng and the others were waiting outside and followed Prince Gong directly.
Before leaving, he glanced worriedly at Zhou Man, who was kneeling on the ground.
As soon as they left, the emperor sat back on the chair and said in a deep voice: "Okay, now we can talk about it, what is going on?"
Whoever reported this matter would be biased. In the end, it was the leader of the Imperial Guard who followed them to report it.
From the discussion between the Crown Prince and Prince Gong, to Princess Mingda asking Zhou Man to see Prince Gong, to not knowing what the Crown Prince and Prince Gong said, Prince Gong was so angry that he kicked the table and broke his leg, to the sudden decision they made today
Return trip.
Although it was all superficial, it was enough for the emperor to understand the whole story.
The emperor was furious at the prince. Saburo was not good at martial arts at all. He was out of breath when walking. But you actually dragged him to practice martial arts. Didn't you deliberately find an excuse to beat him?
The prince stood and listened to the scolding without much reaction.
The queen also felt that the prince did it on purpose, so she did not stop the emperor from scolding him.
After scolding the prince, the emperor went to Zhou Man.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Man suspiciously, "As an imperial physician, you actually let Prince Gong break his leg under your nose?"
Man Bao lowered his head.
The emperor snorted coldly: "Go out and kneel outside."
Man Bao obediently stood up and left, kneeling on his knees. Bai Shan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Princess Mingda, and then also left.
Bai Erlang could only follow him. He didn't expect that when he came to watch the fun, he would actually get kneeled.
He was still a little confused when he and Manbao were kneeling outside the hall. He turned around and asked Bai Shan, who was separated by Manbao from him: "Why are we here?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "You can leave now and no one will stop you."
Bai Erlang thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, I'm already here, I'm already kneeling down."
I always feel like it will be worse if I leave now.
Zhou Man and the other three were punished to kneel outside. The leader of the Imperial Guard and the chamberlain also withdrew. Their family was the only one left in the room. Princess Gong followed Prince Gong to the back hall. There were no outsiders, so the emperor came from above.
He rushed down and kicked the prince, knocking him to his knees on the ground.
The prince was kneeling, then stood up again with his hands on his hands.
Seeing how stubborn he was, the emperor stretched out his foot and kicked him again, but the queen did not stop him. Chang Yu beside him was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Mingda rushed forward and stopped the emperor's third kick, "Father, no one would have thought that third brother broke his leg. You can't blame this whole thing on eldest brother..."
She hugged the emperor's arm and cried: "Father, do you want to kick my eldest brother's leg off too?"
The emperor finally suppressed his anger, pointed outside and said: "You also go out and kneel!"
The prince turned around and went out.
The three people kneeling outside were startled when they saw the prince limping out. Then they quietly moved and crowded together. Even the prince was beaten...
The prince didn't even look at them, and knelt down three steps in front of them.
Aunt Shang quickly took out a futon and chased it out, but was surprised to put it under the prince's knees.
When Man Bao and the other two saw it, they couldn't help but move their knees, feeling that the already hard bluestone was even harder.
They also want a futon...
In the palace, Mingda was soothing the emperor's chest and calming down his anger. At the same time, he quietly begged the prince and Manbao for mercy, "Father, it is true that eldest brother and Manbao cannot be blamed for this matter."
The emperor was very suspicious, "What did they say in the room? Why did Saburo get so angry that he kicked the table? He has always had a good temper. He would not have kicked the table if he was not angry."
I feel that Prince Gong has a good temper, and the whole family, except his father, is probably the only one with a good temper.
Mingda knew the third brother's temper, and the queen knew even more. She raised her eyelids and glanced at the emperor, and was too lazy to pay attention to him. She directly asked Mingda, "Besides the fractures, is there any other injury on Sanlang's body?"
"No, all the injuries he got from his sparring with eldest brother were flesh wounds. Man Bao said it doesn't matter." Mingda paused and said, "Father, you know eldest brother's martial arts. If he really wants to beat the third brother,
, when I caught him and wanted to spar, there were more than just a few scratches."
The emperor blew his beard and glared: "Then you have to thank him for showing mercy?"
Mingda suddenly said frankly: "Father, what the third brother did before was too much. Not to mention the fight between him and the eldest brother in the court in the past four or five years, just look at the things he did to the eldest brother in private. The year before last, the eldest brother lost
That child..."
The emperor was speechless for a moment, and after a while he said dejectedly: "I have already punished your third brother..."
"But if the eldest brother's anger persists, they cannot reconcile. Father, they are always tit-for-tat like this. What will they do in the future?"
The emperor's eyes were red, and he said sadly: "Yes, but what can I do? I am Dalang's father, and I am also Sanlang's father. The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. Do I have to kill Sanlang to plead guilty to him?
?"
The more the emperor spoke, the angrier he became.
The queen said: "If a bowl of water cannot be settled, then don't interfere in the children's disputes and let them fight among themselves. Everything should be done according to the law."
The emperor sat silently.
Mingda still held his hand, half-kneeling at his feet and said: "Father, this is an opportunity. Bai Shan and Zhou Man said that this time, let the eldest brother and the third brother express their grievances. No matter how much they feel,
Relationships can always be repaired through communication.”
The emperor snorted coldly, obviously not believing it.
Mingda repeated what Bai Shan said that night. She said, "Father, have you never thought about what the third brother will do after the eldest brother takes over in the future?"
The emperor was silent. He had obviously thought about it, but he obviously had no better solution for the current situation of his two sons. He just hoped that they would not be at odds with each other again in the future.
Mingda said: "Bai Shan also asked Third Brother this question."
The emperor raised his head and looked at Mingda.
Mingda nodded slightly and said: "The third brother is a smart man. He has naturally thought about it, so he wants to have a good relationship with the eldest brother."
The emperor immediately patted his thigh and said: "I knew that Sanlang was the best, but now your elder brother has such a stubborn temper..."
Mingda immediately said: "Brother has also softened his attitude."
The emperor looked at Mingda suspiciously.
Mingda nodded very firmly, "Man Bao said, the elder brother didn't know why he scolded the third brother that day. It was because of this sentence that the third brother lost control and kicked the table. But Man Bao said that he felt that the elder brother was not scolding the third brother.
It seemed like I was scolding myself, but my temper towards Third Brother became much better later on. Not only did I have people send good medicinal wine to Third Brother, but I also had people arrange bicycle racks for Third Brother, and I would even ask about trivial matters such as food and drink."
