Song Lian Muxiu did not teach today, and it is said that Zhu Biao should rest in the East Palace, but the eunuch came to tell him that the prince was out of the palace.

"Why did the prince leave the palace?" Ma Xiuying wondered, Zhu marked a token to leave the palace, but he rarely left the palace.

"Yes, yes......" The chamberlain of the East Palace hesitated, stealing a glance at Chang Meirong with a pleading look.

"What the hell is going on?" Ma Xiuying's face sank, and the concealed attitude of the waiter made her very angry.

Chang Meirong hurriedly said: "The queen mother is angry, all blame the daughter-in-law for not being good, the daughter-in-law has been greedy recently, and suddenly wants to eat the sour and hot fish maw in the West Market, the prince is estimated to have gone out of the palace to help the daughter-in-law buy food, and begged the queen mother for forgiveness." ”

"Do you want the prince to go to this kind of thing in person?" Ma Xiuying glanced at Chang Meirong suspiciously, Chang Meirong is not an ignorant child, how can she instruct the prince to do miscellaneous things? She looked at Chang Meirong, who was embarrassed and ashamed, and then looked at the sweaty chamberlain, her eyes flashed slightly, and her words changed, "It's okay if you want to eat things outside the palace, and it's a good thing for the prince to be considerate of you, but don't let the prince go in person next time, what does the envoy in the palace do?"

"Yes, the daughter-in-law knows her mistake, and she won't be in the future. Chang Meirong's shoulders relaxed and sighed secretly.

Ma Xiuying pretended not to see it, and left the East Palace with a few more warnings. As soon as he left the palace gate, he immediately instructed Fushun, "Go and find out why the prince left the palace?"

In the evening, Fushun returned, "The second prince and the third prince made trouble in the military camp and beat the son of Duke Weiguo, and the prince personally went to apologize before pressing the matter." ”

Wei Guogong refers to Deng Yu, who defected to Zhu Yuanzhang in the fifteenth year of Yuan Zhizheng and worked for him. Because of his military merits, he was repeatedly promoted, and successively served as the Privy Councillor, the governor of Jiangxi Province, the right Cheng of Jiangxi Province, the Pingzhang of Huguang Province, the right imperial historian, and the prince Yude.

He saw that Zhu Yuanzhang threw his son into the barracks for exercise, so he threw his eldest son Deng Zhen and second son Deng Ming into the barracks. These meritorious children are young and vigorous, and they are not as afraid of imperial power as Lao Tzu, and they are peers of each other, so bumps and bumps are inevitable.

Ma Xiuying had also heard of these things, but it was not an ordinary trivial matter to let Zhu Biao go out of the palace to intercede in person, so she shouted angrily: "These two bastard boys dare to make trouble in the barracks! Arrest them back immediately!"

As he was talking, the guards passed on the news that the prince and several princes asked to meet.

"The second prince and the third prince knelt outside the hall first, and the others came in. Ma Xiuying took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her chest.

As soon as Zhu Biao entered the main hall, he immediately knelt down, "The son is at fault, and he begs his mother to punish him." ”

"What's wrong with you?"

"Erchen didn't teach the second and third emperor brothers well. ”

Every time the following younger brothers cause an accident, Zhu Biao always takes the responsibility on himself first, Ma Xiuying is pleased and helpless with his attitude towards his pampered brother, "You get up and talk, I heard that you went out of the palace to buy food for the crown princess, why did you talk about your second brother and third brother?"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained, "Erchen doesn't dare to hide it, don't blame the princess for the queen mother, she said this because she was afraid that you would be angry with Erchen." ”

"You children have learned to cover up?" Ma Xiuying sighed, Cai Meirong lied to her out of love for Zhu Biao, so she no longer cared about Cai Meirong's concealment, and asked, "Why are you the only one who comes in?"

"The four emperor brothers, the second emperor brothers, and the third emperor brothers are all kneeling outside the hall. ”

"Tell me, what the hell is going on,"

"The second emperor brother lost the competition with Deng Zhen's school, he felt uncomfortable, so he and the third emperor brother quietly used each other's weapons. The next day, during the competition, Deng Zhen's knife suddenly broke and was stabbed in the arm by another opponent, everyone thought it was an accident at the time, but the second and third emperor brothers leaked their mouths when they laughed at Deng Zhen. Deng Zhen and his younger brother Deng Ming were angry but they fought with the second and third emperor brothers, and also reported to Xuandehou, asking the military law to deal with the second and third emperor brothers, and the fourth emperor brother saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly called someone to inform the sons......"

"Two bastards, what kind of place are you treating the barracks," Ma Xiuying patted the case, "tell those two bastards to roll in!"

Zhu Fan and Zhu Di bowed their heads and came in, and when they saw Ma Xiuying, they shouted aggrievedly: "Queen Mother, Xuandehou wants to beat us on the board, you have to be the master of your son!"

Ma Xiuying was furious, "Do you think you shouldn't be beaten by the board? What kind of place is the barracks that allows you to be presumptuous? Come here, today you will be beaten with ten rods by one person, and then escorted to the barracks to be dealt with by military law!"

"Queen Mother?" Zhu Fan and Zhu Di suddenly changed their faces and stared at Ma Xiuying in disbelief. Ma Xiuying loves them the most, and she actually wants to beat them for a trivial matter?

"The queen mother is angry!" Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, who followed up, also changed their faces and hurriedly persuaded them.

"Who dares to intercede for these two bastards and be punished together!" Ma Xiuying was unmoved, and looked at Zhu Fan and Zhu Di with hatred. These two children are so lawless that they dare to use their hands and feet on weapons, but fortunately they didn't kill anyone this time, and they didn't teach them some lessons, and they were only afraid of poking a bigger basket in the future.

"Queen Mother, we know that we are wrong!" Zhu Fan and Zhu Di knew that they were scared, and hurriedly shouted and begged for mercy.

Ma Xiuying didn't raise her eyelids, "Shout one sentence plus one cane, shout ten sentences plus ten canes!"

Zhu Fan and Zhu Di didn't dare to shout immediately, glaring angrily at the guards on both sides, with the meaning of "If you dare to hit me today, I will give you a good look tomorrow".

"Your Highnesses, I'm sorry. The guards looked at each other and squeezed their eyes at Zhu Fan and Zhu Di.

As soon as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Ma Xiuying's cold warning in their ears, "If the guards dare to be perfunctory, they will be dealt with as a crime of bending the law for personal gain!"

"Your Highnesses, I'm sorry. The guard's words were exactly the same as before, but the tone was completely different, and a little laxity could be heard before, but there was a sense of solemnity.

Zhu Fan and Zhu Di were shocked, "You dare to ......"

Ma Xiuying shouted angrily: "Execute immediately, twelve rods!"

This time, no one dared to speak, and the sound of "popping" was heard one after another. Zhu Fan and Zhu Di trembled all over, howling like killing pigs, and blood was stained on their robes after a while.

Ma Xiuying covered her chest, and every time the board touched the flesh, the sound was like a whip on her heart, and she wanted to tell the guards to stop several times, but thinking of Zhu Fan and Zhu Di's repeated mistakes, she finally turned her head and closed her eyes and stopped looking directly.

The twelve canes were finally finished, and Zhu Fan and Zhu Di snorted in pain.

Ma Xiuying bit her lips and bled out, and said with a hard heart: "Escort the second prince and the third prince to the barracks to continue to accept military justice." ”

"Queen Mother, please forgive the second and third emperor brothers, they have already been punished by you. They still have wounds on their bodies, how can they continue to be punished. Zhu Biao's eyes were red, and he kept kowtowing and pleading.

Ma Xiuying was unmoved, "I am subject to family law here, how can I discuss it with military law?"

Zhu Di knelt down and said: "Erchen is willing to be punished for the second and third emperor brothers, and beg the queen mother to let them recuperate in the palace, and Erchen will go to the military camp to receive the crime." ”

"It's a good thing for you brothers and brothers, but if they make a mistake, they must be punished by themselves!" Ma Xiuying glared at the guards, "Why don't you escort the two princes to the barracks?"
