Chapter 25: Differences in Offensive and Defensive Potential
Waiting until the sound of announcement came from the palace, the chief steward, Eunuch Wu, opened the door of the palace and let His Highness in.
"Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense when you go in, especially what you saw just now..." Wang Defa, who was heartbroken, still whispered worriedly from behind.
Zhu Zhen didn't know whether he heard it or not, so he went in with an innocent look.
In the hall, Boss Zhu, who had regained his dignity, acted as if nothing had happened, watching the sixth son kowtow to himself with a smile.
"Hahaha, Sixth, get up quickly and let dad take a good look." But there seemed to be a hint of guilty vibrato in the hearty laughter.
Zhu Zhen got up and took a few steps forward as instructed.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him for a while, then stretched out his rough hands and pinched his butt, belly and chin.
"Well, I'm fat again."
Zhu Zhen was not happy when he heard this. Why are you so fat? I'm eating your food. Well, I'm just eating your food...
Concubine Hu Chong hurriedly explained: "Isn't this a way to put on autumn fat so that you can survive the winter? You will lose weight when spring comes."
"Well, that's fine, let's start the spring and help him lose weight." Boss Zhu seemed to have a lot of prejudice against fat people. "My son can't be like the stupid son of Mr. Liu's family."
"I guess in those days, I was often bullied by the stupid sons of Rich Master Liu." Zhu Zhen secretly complained. After he finished, he complained about himself again, "Grandma, how did I become a complainer?"
"Back then, when the fourth child was only his age, I made him and his brothers wear hemp shoes and leg wraps, and march outside the city with ordinary soldiers. How could any of them be so fat?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a malicious glance.
A glance at Zhu Zhen. "You have to practice, Lao Liu."
Zhu Zhen's hair stood on end. Is His Majesty so vengeful? Didn't he just break your scene of "Wu Song fights the tiger"?
Although Xie plays a tiger...
"What the emperor said, can the sixth child compare with the fourth child?" Concubine Hu Chong immediately protected her and said: "The second child, the fourth child and the others grew up naked in the military camp. The sixth child was in the palace.
He was raised in a house and his body has been weak since he was a child. Are you going to kill him by taking him out on a march?"
Zhu Zhen nodded vigorously in response, his big eyes filled with tears. With such a pitiful look, how could anyone be so cruel?
"His body is not weak, he just lacks training." Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was not an ordinary person. He looked at the sixth son with bright eyes and said loudly: "Do you know why we made you the King of Chu?"
Zhu Zhen shook his head, thinking because I am pitiful?
"That's because when we received the news of your birth, we just received the good news of conquering Wuchang. Let's say that when you grow up, you can be named the King of Chu!" Zhu Yuanzhang was still happy when he mentioned the day of double happiness.
Open your mouth from ear to ear.
"Don't talk about the king, just be civilized..." Zhu Zhen didn't know why, but as soon as he saw Boss Zhu, he seemed to have a complaint switch triggered. He couldn't stop at all.
Is this the little fat man's way of releasing his resentment?
"So when you grow up, you will guard Huguang for us and your eldest brother." Zhu Yuanzhang was full of expectations and said loudly: "This way, even if you lose three layers of skin, we must train you to become a talent.
Only then can I trust you with this heavy responsibility!"
Zhu Zhen still hoped that his mother-in-law would continue to speak for him, but unexpectedly, Concubine Hu Chong remained silent.
Looking up, I saw her holding her chin in her hands, her pretty face was slightly red, and her eyes were filled with little stars, and she actually started to be infatuated with her father.
‘He is still the same heroic hero as before, without any change...’
Zhu Zhen had no doubt that if Boss Zhu planned to buy himself by weight at this time, it would be better for his mother and concubine to help him tie himself up than to weigh him...
Hey, my son and I were about to fight to the death, why did my mother and concubine surrender first?
Without the support of his mother and concubine, Zhu Zhen lost even more arrogance and could only let Zhu Yuanzhang knead him.
~~
It wasn't until Boss Zhu felt that he had regained his status as a father that he changed the subject and asked Zhu Zhen:
"I heard that you got a good thing for Mr. Liu, a pair of glasses that can be worn on your face?"
"Yeah." Zhu Zhen nodded naively.
"You brat, you don't know how to give your father something good?" Boss Zhu asked: "Who are you kissing?"
"I won't kiss you anyway." Zhu Zhen secretly rolled his eyes and said with an innocent face: "I thought my father didn't need it."
"We have sharp ears and eyesight, so of course we don't need it anymore." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his chin proudly and said casually:
"But as the old saying goes, 'forty-three passes the eye, forty-four has thorns in the eye, and the flower does not cost forty-eight.' Your father and I are forty-seven this year, so we must not be prepared."
"Oh." Zhu Zhen nodded without saying hello, turned around and ran into the west room. After a while, he ran out and put a sandalwood box in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"After looking around, I found another pair."
"Hahaha, I know you have a father in your heart!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and couldn't wait to try it on.
"I'm going to give this to my mother when she returns to the palace." Zhu Zhen didn't tolerate him. "Father, please put it back after you try it."
"Uh, haha..." Boss Zhu's laughter was full of embarrassment. "It doesn't matter, what's your mother's is ours."
He ignored the brat and focused on this novel pair of glasses. After trying it out, it turned out to be very useful.
Not only can you see clearly with both eyes at the same time, it is much more comfortable than seeing clearly with just one eye.
More importantly, it frees up one of your hands. Originally, when you were reviewing memorials, you had to hold the pen, press the fold, and hold up the lens, so you needed three hands.
With it, two hands are enough, and work efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.
"It's wonderful. I didn't expect you, a little fool, to be so ingenious." Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if he had found a treasure. He put the mirror into his sleeve and smiled at Zhu Zhen and said, "My son will make another one for the queen."
Well, this is how you honor your father."
"Isn't this an open robbery? Wuwu..." Zhu Zhen pursed his lips and was about to cry.
"Don't cry, don't cry, we don't want you for nothing." Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: "Tell me, what kind of toy do you want, I will exchange it with you."
"I've grown up and don't play with toys anymore." Zhu Zhen shook his head.
"You're a little too young for other things, so what do you want?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
"I want my father to ask a doctor to treat those people in Nei'an Le Hall. They are so pitiful." Zhu Zhen said unexpectedly.
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look at the sixth son, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you, a brat, have a good heart."
Then he waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, we have listened to your mother's advice and selected female doctors from among the people to join the palace as medical officers. By then, these will not be a problem!"
"Thank you, Father." Zhu Zhen kowtowed to Boss Zhu with satisfaction.
Concubine Hu Chong was a little confused. Did I mention this opinion? Did she say it drunkenly someday? But how did he hear it?
Could it be that he cares about me more than I thought?
Although she doesn’t know how this matter is connected with her, she knows that this is a great good thing!
She was feeling guilty because she couldn't help them. Now it's better, it's a mistake...
Concubine Hu Chong also quickly bowed down and said softly and softly for the first time: "On behalf of those old sisters, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"Hahaha, my beloved concubine will soon be free." I finally heard her calling herself 'concubine' and knew that the 'Leng Palace Incident' had finally begun.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy.
The two bitches held hands and chatted away, forgetting that the poor baby was still kneeling...
‘Nima, if I had known better, I wouldn’t have knelt down...’ My knees hurt when I knelt down, and I was really upset by His Highness the King of Chu who was forcing me to eat dog food.
