Zhu Er in the room only felt that it was extremely ridiculous, but he only hated the fact that the emperor was right in front of him, so he dared not speak out. But the next moment, Zhang Shou expressed his complaints on his behalf: "How dare you say that?"
?You are old and should be sensible. Why can't you learn from your third brother's stability? Since you know that you can't go to Qingning Palace, you can't think through it when you speak? "
"If I'm as good as the third brother, then it's me who becomes the prince instead of him?" As soon as the words came out, the fourth prince knew that he was impulsive again. He simply lowered his head and said listlessly, "Anyway, that's how I am.
Let me just say, no matter whether it offends others or not, or whether it is a temperament that pleases my father, teacher, please stop speaking for me, so as not to injure you."
"You know how to hurt people!" The emperor was so angry that he really wanted to drag the person over and give him a good beating. "Although you used to like to play nonsense, you were not of such an unscrupulous nature!"
"Who wants me to have no natural enemies now and nothing to worry about. So in those years, I endured the things I didn't dare to say and the things I didn't dare to do. Now I can no longer bear it." At this point, the naughty boy raised his head slightly.
After taking a look at Zhang Shou, he saw that he also had a very angry expression on his face. He coughed dryly and said, "But what I said wrong today was really explained by the teacher."
"A group of people with unknown origins and unknown actions made everyone unable to live a good life for a year and finally died! The matter of the second brother really made people feel uncomfortable, but when the news of the shipwreck came...
"Isn't he already dead?
Finally, the Fourth Prince still knew which pot he was talking about and which pot he was talking about. At this moment, he finally closed his mouth, but the drooped corners of his mouth were more eye-catching than the drooped head. It seemed that he had finally made up his mind after deliberation for a long time.
He said word for word: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely be good to my fifth brother from now on, and I will definitely make him safe and happy since he was a child, and no one will dare to bully him!"
If you don't bully him, who else would dare to bully him! Be it Zhang Shou or Zhu Er, these words just go around in their hearts and no one will say them out loud.
As for the emperor, he didn't show any big expression at this moment. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked thoughtfully at his youngest son who was never worried - although he is no longer the youngest one.
, but before the fifth prince could speak, he would inevitably regard him as the youngest one.
"Go back to the palace."
After leaving these three simple words, he turned around and left. Until the sound of footsteps came from behind him, and then it was clear that someone was tugging at the corner of his clothes, just like the little guy who looked like a pink dumpling when he was a child.
The scene of him walking in his robe. Because of his childhood experience, he actually disliked his children being afraid of him. However, the eldest prince and the second prince were not close to him because of the queen.
Most of the princesses, except Princess Yongping, were a little afraid of him. That is to say, he had raised them in Qianqing Palace since they were young and watched them every day. Therefore, the two brothers, who had always been a bit cute and naive, had never been afraid of him even if they were beaten and scolded by him.
Not very afraid of him.
The more children he has, the easier it is to be biased and divided into three, six or nine. Therefore, he is not sure what will happen to the fifth prince in the future and whether he will have more sons. But now that he has established the East Palace, he does not want to
At any time in the future, someone will shake that position. Therefore, the fourth prince was really happy to be able to say such words just now.
Therefore, after waiting for others to follow him step by step for a long time, seeing the gate of Zhangyuan approaching, he suddenly said without looking back: "After you go back, you can go to Fengxian Hall and stay one night. Your third brother was left behind by me. In the Qing palace, people may be worried, but it’s better for you to spread the news after leaving the palace, and your teacher will defend you fiercely, how can it be so cheap!”
"Yeah, yeah!" Although he was about to be punished, the fourth prince behind the emperor was very happy at this time. There was no trace of reluctance or frustration. He even babbled, "Father, you shouldn't leave your third brother behind. He He is thinking a lot, and he must be extremely worried right now. And Eunuch Chu, he is also very unjust. He has to go back and forth in such a cold weather, let alone him..."
"Yes, they are all people who have been angered by me, so they are all unjust. The only person who is not unjust is you! So you kneel down in Fengxian Hall and reflect on it! You are such a big person, and you cause trouble again and again. Misfortune comes from the mouth. If I am gone in the future, I will still have your third brother, but if your third brother..."
Before the emperor finished speaking, he felt as if someone was rushing towards him from behind. He subconsciously tensed his shoulders, but then he realized that it couldn't be anyone else but the fourth prince, so he relaxed again. Sure enough, The fourth prince hung directly on his body like an octopus with eight claws, holding his neck tightly with both hands.
Although he was the emperor, the emperor simply didn't care about the rule of carrying grandchildren and not carrying children. Relying on his proficiency in martial arts, he once carried two sons on his back when he was a child, even climbing over a wall. But now in public When the fourth prince suddenly made such a move, he couldn't help but want to shout angrily, but the voice that sounded first was the fourth prince's voice.
"Father, you will live a long life, and my third brother will also live a long life. None of you will die earlier than me!"
Even though he knew that the fourth prince meant flattery in a sense and was a kind word, the emperor still couldn't help but grab the person's arm, lift the naughty child from behind in the air, and then hug the person's waist with one hand. He stood up and slapped the butt twice hard. After hearing a scream, he stood up and said nothing, and slapped her twice more.
"You kid, go back and learn some etiquette. I was so indulgent of you in the past!"
Zhu Ying, who was chasing after her, heard these two words and saw that the fourth prince was struggling and dancing in the air, but he was still able to bargain with the emperor. She simply stood there and shook her head angrily, thinking that this bear The child just deserves a beating.
When she saw the emperor leaving the house, throwing him on his horse, calling the accompanying guards, and whizzing away, she couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "No wonder the Queen Mother always said that even though the emperor is so old, things are still the same as before. He was so impulsive and irritable when he was young, but fortunately the prince is not like him!"
She didn't blame the emperor for coming and going in such a hurry, even forgetting about herself before returning to the palace. When she thought of what Zhang Shouyan had just told her in a concise and concise manner, she could realize how chaotic the court would be in the next few days. A chaotic scene.
However, everything that happened during these days has a clear answer, including the camp roar in Tianjin, the officers and soldiers pretending to be pirates to rob and kill merchants, many things have been explained, but because it went so smoothly, she always It feels a little out of place, as if everything is too coincidental.
However, Zhu Ying was not the head catcher in charge of the investigation, let alone the Dali Temple who reviewed the world's case files, or the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in charge of criminal names, so she tilted her head and thought for a while, thinking that there were many people in the world who were smarter and more perceptive than herself.
Excuse, I successfully threw this consideration out of my mind.
Anyway, the people who should be driven away have been driven away so far. The people she hates and hates are also dead, so what else is she thinking about? Do you want to avenge them? Eat well and hold on!
In the chaotic battle at the Lutai Horse Station, the number of people involved could be said to be more or less, but in the aftermath, the bodies had to be buried, and the body of the second prince had to be sorted out and transported to the capital - to Rui Qi.
The commander of the battalion and the counselor of Shanhailu were ten thousand brave, and they would never dare to bury the second prince's body together with a group of pirates, so of course they collected the body and escorted it over.
As a result, this news, which was not deliberately concealed in the first place, became a huge explosion and everyone knew it at once.
For the officials of the imperial court, they naturally maintained a delicate sense of proportion. They tried to talk as little or not as much as possible, but the people had countless versions. Of course, the most explosive one was that the second prince fell into the water and met pirates, and then brought him with him.
The pirate pretends to be an envoy and plans to sneak into the capital, and then plots evil to turn everything upside down... It's like a drama!
However, the one who was most frightened, but by no means embarrassed, was the Korean envoy who joined the South Pavilion. Unlike Zheshanjun, who was still young and was only sent to the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty to study this time, the envoy this time was not
They are not just low-ranking officials who are chosen to fill the ranks, but they are serious senior officials of the third grade, who worship Cao as a counselor.
However, compared with those envoys who dared to cross the sea to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty from Dengzhou in history, his courage was very small. Of course, his excuse to the outside world was that Zheshanjun was the nephew of the king, so he could not make any mistakes, so
Naturally, I would rather leave the near and take the long road.
At this moment, he really wanted to use the same excuse to deal with the people in front of him, but the young man who led him was so arrogant that he didn't even look at him. However, knowing the identity of the other party, he not only did not dare to fight,
Even in the end, he was sweating profusely and simply sent the person directly to the bedside of the tiger who was still ill.
The moment he saw Zhu Er, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, Zheshanjun wanted to pretend to faint. He really couldn't stand these three disciples of Ming Dynasty. It was so cold that these three people didn't take him to see the sacrifice.
The Temple of Heaven is to take him to see the murderous Xisi Archway, or to take him to see the magnificent Xungui Garden, or to take him to see the smelly horse and sheep market...
Anyway, when he was confused by these three people, he couldn't guarantee whether he said anything to others during the period. Therefore, his face was full of bitterness at this time, until the Councilor Li Cao
She blinked her eyes desperately at him and said: "Zheshanjun, this is the fourth prince of the Celestial Dynasty."
At that moment, Zheshanjun sat up straight, and then his eyes couldn't help but glance at the fourth prince again and again - even though the other prince was a little younger than him, his status was much more noble than him. That was not just Daming.
The difference between the royal family and the royal family of Goryeo, the difference between the big country of Ming Dynasty and the small country of Goryeo, is also the difference between the prince and his son, the former prince, and the nephew of the current king.
Moreover, he heard on the way that the relationship between the fourth prince and the current prince is quite close.
At this moment, seeing the other party staring at him intently, he lowered his head deeply and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, I am sorry that I am ill and cannot perform the courtesy properly."
This was the first time for the fourth prince to hear such a formal title and such frightening language. He couldn't help but feel it was new, so he couldn't help but look at the other person and forgot to respond. But it didn't matter that he forgot, but others were suffering.
The Lord Zheshan did not dare to raise his head. The Councilor Li Cao felt that the royal family of the Celestial Dynasty was resentful because of the incident rumored by the outside world, so they were all trembling with fear.
In the end, Zhu Er couldn't help coughing, and this was how he called back the soul of the fourth prince. The little naughty boy immediately smiled and nodded and said: "Well, no need to be polite, since you are sick, just sit down.
"
He sat down on the brocade pier that Councilor Li Cao personally sent to him, and then he coughed lightly and said: "In the past few days, something happened in Lutai Mayi that shocked the government and the public. Mr. Zheshan
do you know?"
Counselor Li Cao suddenly had a look of fear on his face. He squirmed his lips. Seeing Zheshanjun's face was filled with embarrassment, he finally whispered: "Because Zheshanjun is ill and he is still young. According to my imperial clan,
The rule of not interfering in politics has not been reported to me."
"Oh, is that so?" The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, and then said with less seriousness, "But the father lost and gained a son, and then lost it again. This is a big deal. Even though the tiger is weak,
I didn’t get involved in politics in the past, but I still have to know about it. Second brother Zhu, come and give the villain a good talk."
The naughty kid was so polite to him in front of outsiders. Zhu Er reciprocated the favor. After clearing his throat, he explained the whole story. And what he missed, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu had to fill in the gaps. Waiting for them
After finishing this detailed description, not to mention Councilor Li Cao was sweating like rain, even Zhe Shanjun was already dripping with cold sweat on his forehead.
Even if Zhu Er is not pretentious at all, and the pirates who occupy Jeju Island are not directly classified as Goryeo pirates, but are referred to by the phrase "pirates of unknown origin", this is still enough to make the two of them considered the top in Goryeo.
The nobles wanted to faint. Everyone knows the history of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone knows why the Li family can replace the Wang family.
Isn't it because the Wang family can't see clearly the destiny and the general trend, so they want to fight against the great country that drove the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties to the north and laid the foundation? For this reason, the Ming Dynasty picked on the envoys, executed them at every turn, and even threatened to send troops.
In the last years of Wang's reign in Goryeo, there was one year when the tribute figure was not only a humiliation, but a great intimidation.
Five thousand horses, five hundred catties of gold, fifty thousand taels of silver, and fifty thousand pieces of cloth. This so-called huge number to show sincerity, even if it was only given for just one year, it still almost drained the national treasury and plundered the people. If
If it continues for another year, around that time the last king of Goryeo will be directly forced to step down. So, who is not afraid of the Ming Dynasty?
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has not been so picky with its envoys in recent years, but only twenty years ago, an envoy was discourteous, so the official of Honglu Temple asked the envoy's attaché to practice three kneels and nine kowtows in front of the court.
A story about a bunch of people fainting.
The fourth prince happened to have some free time at this time and asked: "If you dare to ask, Tiger, do you know about Jeju Island?"
The next moment, the fourth prince saw the young Goryeo royal who had just claimed to be ill stumbled out of bed, landed on his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "I am also the first to see Jeju Island become a pirate den."
I heard this for the first time. If this is true, the officials above and below must be colluding, and the decrees in the capital are no longer passable! I am willing to report to the king and send troops to conquer immediately!"
