Zhu Jianshen, who was only six years old, knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, like a child who had done something wrong...
No, he is just a child who has done something wrong!
To light a fire in the East Palace, this kind of thing must have happened because he was the prince. If it were anyone else, he would have died countless times.
Zhu Qizhen was angry and wanted to find someone who could take advantage of him. When he saw an inkstone on the table, he picked it up and weighed it in his hand... then put it down.
I saw a sword hanging on the wall again, so I walked over to take a look, but I still held back.
Wynn watched with fear as the emperor looked for something. He picked up something, and when he was about to dissuade him, he put it down again, picked up another thing, and put it down again...
Whenever the emperor picked up something, his heart would rise to his throat, but before he could dissuade him, he put it down again.
Finally, Zhu Qizhen picked up a book, rolled it into a tube, and walked up to Zhu Jianshen angrily.
Wynn was finally sure that there would be no change this time, so he worked up his emotions, rushed up and cried: "Your Majesty, please calm down, His Royal Highness is still a child!"
"Get out of the way!"
Zhu Qizhen looked like he didn’t want anyone to stop me, although Wynn was just kneeling aside, still some distance away from him...
"Your Majesty, please calm down. If there is any fault, please let me take responsibility for it. It was me who neglected my duty..."
"I must teach this unfortunate child a lesson today!"
Zhu Qizhen seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall of air and could no longer take a step forward.
I saw him pointing the scroll in his hand at Zhu Jianshen and angrily yelling: "Are you going to rebel by preparing gunpowder in the palace?"
Zhu Jianshen knelt obediently and said, "I know I was wrong!"
"Say, who asked you to do this!"
"It's...it's Erchen himself..."
"Why configure gunpowder?"
"My son is just...curious..."
This answer made Zhu Qizhen dumbfounded. He ordered the East Palace to be lit, and even almost blew up my Forbidden City. Just because of curiosity, the price is a bit high, right?
If you are really interested in these, you can go to the Academy of Sciences, Wang Gong Factory, or even the military camp.
Or go to the shooting range. You are the prince of the Ming Dynasty. You can order whatever you want. I guarantee that no one will dare to care about you.
"Your Majesty... please calm down..."
Wynn took the opportunity to speak and tried to take away the scroll from the emperor's hand.
"Your Highness is interested in science. I think... this is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Qizhen took the opportunity to hand the scroll to him, and then said: "There are so many people in the Academy of Sciences, but they are not enough to teach you? Do you know what the consequences will be if something goes wrong when arranging gunpowder in private?"
"My son knows that he was beaten and scolded by his father..."
"Are you still talking back?"
Zhu Qizhen suddenly became furious and said angrily: "I beat you and scold you to make you remember better. You can't do things according to your temper in the future. If you want to do experiments, go to the Academy of Sciences. There are professional teams and test sites there. Why?"
Do you have to tinker with these things in the East Palace?"
"My son has gone, but..."
Zhu Jianshen seemed a little unconvinced and said: "They don't teach me..."
"Why don't I teach you?"
"It's too dangerous because I'm too young, but I'm not that young either. I don't need anyone to accompany me when I get up to pee at night!"
Zhu Qizhen is so angry and funny. Maybe in the prince's mind, getting up by himself at night is already a sign of growth.
After all, he is still a six-year-old child.
Children of later generations are only in kindergarten at the age of six.
Zhu Qizhen thought for a long time. Over the years, he has not paid much attention to the cultivation of the prince.
Because there are too many things to do, including fighting in the north and south, developing science and technology, restructuring and opening up the sea, and implementing new policies...
In five years, Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, but the prince has been ignored.
"If you are really interested, I can arrange for you to go to the Academy of Sciences to attend lectures. However, when you go there, you must follow the arrangements of the gentlemen. You cannot act without authorization, and you cannot use your identity as the prince to act recklessly. Can you do that?" After Zhu Jianshen listened, he nodded repeatedly and said, "I must listen to the gentlemen!"
"Go!"
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to say anything else. It would be better to block Zhu Jianshen's education than to ignore it. Since he likes natural science, it would be a good thing for him to learn it systematically.
"Thank you, Father!"
Zhu Jianshen stood up with a happy smile on his face, and then said: "Father, where is Aunt Wan? I haven't seen her since I came back from the Imperial Hospital."
"She will not return to the East Palace for the time being."
"Ah?"
Zhu Jianshen immediately opened his mouth and almost cried.
"Father, don't blame Aunt Wan. It was my son who asked her to go outside the palace to buy sulfur and saltpeter..."
"You said it lightly, but just because of your words, how many people have been implicated in and outside the palace. Now do you know the seriousness of the matter?"
"Father, I am wrong..."
"Okay, I didn't punish her!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "She will have to take care of the queen in the future, so she won't have time to accompany you. From now on, you should focus more on your studies. You are such a big person, don't rely on others for everything!"
"Oh, I know it!"
When Zhu Jianshen heard that Wan Zhen'er had gone to serve the queen, he said nothing more.
For him, Wan Zhen'er is not only a maid, but also his playmate. However, although he likes her, it is not the kind that he can't live without.
Zhu Qizhen turned around and said: "Huai'en, take the prince to the Academy of Sciences and tell Beilin that the prince will be under his control from now on!"
"Ah?"
Wynn was immediately stunned. It was enough for the prince to study, so why should he still be under Beilin's control?
Does he dare to take care of it?
Even with a title like Crown Prince and Tutor, he is nominally the Crown Prince's teacher, but the Crown Prince is to be the emperor. Although they are called teachers and students, they still have a subordinate relationship after all.
"Go now and tell Beilin my exact words, verbatim. If the prince does something bad again, I will question him!"
"This... slave obeys the order!"
Wynn did not dare to ask any more questions and led the prince to report to the Academy of Sciences.
Zhu Qizhen looked at the backs of the two people and couldn't help but sigh.
My son's original fate was very rough. He was born as a prince and the heir to the Ming Empire, and then he was deposed. If he hadn't missed his old relationship, he would have been killed long ago.
From the highs to the abyss, it's like a stock that hits the daily limit at the opening, but then suddenly plummets at noon until it closes at the limit.
Such a gap is difficult for ordinary people to accept.
Because of this, his dependence on Wan Zhen'er almost reached a morbid level. During those precarious days, only this woman was by his side.
Today's history has taken a completely different path. Zhu Jianshen no longer needs to live a fearful life. However, he still has an inexplicable affection for Wan Zhen'er. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of history, he can only treat Wan Zhen'er
