"Say, why did you beat your brother?" Zhu Youzhen held a feather duster in his hand and said to the eldest daughter in front of him very seriously.

However, although Zhu Tingting, who was 9 years old, knelt on the ground, she did not listen to her father's reprimand at all, she looked at her father without fear and said: "Zhu Cihong took a stone and threw Xiaoyu, I asked him not to lose it, but he didn't listen, I went to push him." Xiaoyu is only more than a month old, and he screams so pitifully, shouldn't he be beaten? ”

Looking at his daughter who was kneeling there and writhing her body, but she was not scared at all, Zhu Youzhen was also a little unruly, he was reluctant to beat him, and she didn't care about scolding her, which really made Zhu Youzhen worried.

"You kneel for me, let you kneel here and admit your mistakes, what are you writhing around, there are worms in your body?" Zhu Youzhen shouted to his daughter with a star.

Zhu Tingtingma replied confidently: "The ground is cold and hard, I am panicking." ”

Zhu Youzhen helplessly pulled out his cushion and threw it on the ground, pointed at his daughter with a feather duster and said, "Give you another cushion, you kneel for me, or I will really teach you a lesson." ”

Zhu Tingting was extremely aggrieved and put the mat thrown by her father under her knees, and with the two mats together, she finally felt more comfortable, so she was a little more honest. Zhu Youzhen looked at his daughter and thought for a long time, and decided that he should reason with her.

"Xiaoyu is a cat after all, Zhu Cihong is your brother, how can you beat your brother for a cat..."

Zhu Youzhen said bitterly to his daughter for a long time, but after Zhu Tingting tilted her head and blinked her eyes a few times, she suddenly interjected and asked her father: "Is it right for Cihong to hit Xiaoyu with a stone?" ”

Zhu Youzhen, who was caught off guard, suddenly replied: "Of course it's not right, everyone has compassion, how can you hit a small animal that has no ability to protect yourself with a stone... Shut up, now it's your dad who teaches you, not your dad. ”

was interrupted by Zhu Tingting, and Zhu Youzhen obviously couldn't teach a lesson. He had no choice but to end in a hurry: "It's wrong for Zhu Cihong to smash Xiaoyu, but you hit someone right?" Kneel here for me to reflect on, and don't come out until dinner..."

When Zhu Youzhen walked out of the study, Concubine Tian Xiuying, who was standing at the door eavesdropping, was not happy, she stopped Chongzhen and asked angrily: "You have taught her a hard lesson?" She also took a photo of kindness, why don't you mention it? She is so young and fierce, who will care about her when she grows up in the future..."

There is also a living room outside the study of the West Garden, and the two houses were originally a suite. Because of the quarrel between the children, the queen and the concubine both ran over. Hearing Zhu Youzhen's disposition, the queen was relieved, but Concubine Li was obviously a little reluctant.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Tian Xiuying, who still looked like a girl, but when he maintained his child, he finally discarded the image of not eating fireworks in the world, and he didn't feel a little emotional. However, he still said to Tian Xiuying: "I have already punished her for kneeling until dinner time, isn't it heavy enough?" ”

Before Tian Xiuying could react, Zhu Youzhen said to Cizhao, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze: "Cizhao, did your sister deliberately beat you?" ”

Zhu Cizhao subconsciously stood up from the sofa, saluted his father and replied: "No, it's not counted, when I wanted to pull her away, I was accidentally thrown in the face by her hand." ”

Hearing Zhu Cizhao's obedient answer, Zhu Youzhen's mood suddenly became very happy, so he nodded at him and said, "Well, you did a good job this time." Seeing that siblings quarrel and can persuade them to fight, and they don't exaggerate afterwards, my father is very happy. Lu Qi, I'll pack up the four treasures in the suite I used in a while, and let Cizhao take it back..."

Hearing Chongzhen praise Cizhao, Tian Xiuying's mood finally became happy, and she no longer followed Chongzhen.

Zhou Yufeng, who was sitting on the side, was in a complicated mood, she was distressed that her daughter was punished, and she was worried about how the emperor would punish Zhu Cihong.

Sure enough, in her worry, Zhu Youzhen glared fiercely at Zhu Cihong, who was sitting next to her mother, and was so frightened that Zhu Cihong kept hiding behind her mother.

"What are you hiding, don't think that you don't need to be punished if you are injured, copy the article "Compassion, Everyone Has" 20 times in half a month, and no one is allowed to help him..."

After quickly disposing of this housework, Zhu Youzhen slipped away in a hurry. Zhou Yufeng and Tian Xiuying glanced at each other vigilantly, and finally left with the children one after another.

Not long after Zhu Youzhen returned to the office, Lu Qi came to report: "The prince of King Fu and the king of Tang have arrived, can Your Majesty send them now?" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded at him and said, "Well, let the two of them come." When you go down, let someone check the kitten named Xiaoyu, and if you are healthy, send it to Tingting. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Qi agreed, and then hurriedly retreated, preparing to personally instruct the eunuch in the cat room to serve the kitten.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." After King Fu and King Tang entered the room, they saluted the emperor.

King Fu and King Tang both Chongzhen are a few years older, and they are in their early thirties. Under Chongzhen's hands-off training over the years, the two of them are quite calm now.

Unlike the older generation of clans who were always nostalgic for the past life as local emperors, the prince of Fu and the king of Tang had obviously understood that the old days were gone, and there was no hope for the vassal clan to continue to live that luxurious life by relying on bloodline in the future.

It is precisely because of this that the two of them are going all out for the errands assigned by the emperor in order to try to leave a good impression in the emperor's heart. Zhu Youzhen's explanation of their errand was not a difficult matter, either asking them to receive some guests on their behalf, or to handle some internal affairs of the clan.

seems to say in "The Oil Seller" that the so-called talent can still be made up for by familiarity. Although the prince of Fu and the king of Tang are not outstanding figures, after these years of errands, they can be regarded as accumulating a lot of experience in doing things, and they have also calmed down in front of the emperor.

However, King Fu and King Tang also knew very well that the reason why they could be called the rising stars of the clan was not because of how much talent they had, but because they had gained the trust of the emperor.

The prince of Haofu was afraid for a while, because some members of the clan were annoyed with the privileges and the repossession of the land, so they deliberately spread the word in the clan that Emperor Shenzong originally intended to pass on the throne to King Fu, but was destroyed by the traitorous ministers. Seeing the gentle, courteous and frugal character of the prince of King Fu, it can be seen that Emperor Shenzong should not compromise at the beginning.

In order to disgust Chongzhen, these clan members did not hesitate to roast King Fu's father and son on the fire, and once asked King Fu's father and son to ask Chongzhen for their guilt again and again, expressing their willingness to go overseas to guard the frontier for Daming.

It's just that Chongzhen was not confused by these remarks, and still left King Fu's father and son in the capital, and exiled hundreds of rumors and rumors to go to sea, so that the rumor that King Fu's father and son were the true dragon sons was quelled.

However, the scene of these clans having no ability to resist in front of the emperor left a deep impression on the prince of Fu and the king of Tang, and made them even more in awe of Chongzhen.

Although the two of them are older than Chongzhen, they behave more like juniors of the clan in front of Chongzhen, and Chongzhen is also used to the posture of the two in front of him, so his speech to the two is more relaxed and casual.

After greeting the two, Zhu Youzhen said to the prince of Fuwang directly: "Cousin, I'm afraid you will have to go out for me next spring." ”

Zhu Yousong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Your Majesty's ministers going?" Is there anything you can explain? ”

Zhu Youzhen was not polite, and then said: "I plan to let you go to Korea, Jeju Island, Japan, Ryukyu, and Taiwan.

I want you to visit in the past, first, it represents the care of my Ming Sect for the subject country; Second, you can also see for me what kind of psychology the people of these two countries have towards the Ming Dynasty.

As for Jeju Island, Ryukyu, and Taiwan as newly acquired overseas territories, you bring my greetings to the people of these places and let them know that I do not treat them as outsiders. By the way, I also went to Jeju Island to visit my three cousins, so that they don't have to worry too much about their home country and recuperate in Jeju Island. ”

When Zhu Yousong was nodding his head and recording, Zhu Youzhen suddenly paused, and then quickly said: "Of course, you still have a big thing to do when you go to Japan.

The current reigning emperor of Japan is a 14-year-old woman whose mother is Kazuko Tokugawa from the Tokugawa shogunate, the daughter of a second-generation shogun.

From the current point of view of Japan, neither the Japanese Imperial Court nor the Osaka Shogunate wants the Tokugawa family to control the Imperial Court. The Governor of Osaka, Ye Yuxuan, and the abdicated Emperor Masahito, reached an agreement that the current female emperor, Koko, would abdicate in favor of her half-brother Sogonomiya.

In order not to cause a backlash from the Tokugawa clan, Koko will abdicate on the grounds of marriage. As for her marriage partner, I have already chosen, it is Mu Tianbo, the 19-year-old Duke of Qianguo. So when you visit Japan this time, you have to bring Mu Tianbo, first, let the two meet; The second is to negotiate the marriage. Do you have any questions? ”

Zhu Yousong naturally doesn't have any doubts, don't say that it is the prince of Qianguo who marries his wife, it is the emperor who wants him to marry the Japanese female emperor, and he will agree without blinking.

"The minister has no doubts, this trip to Japan, he will definitely negotiate the marriage between Mu Xiaoguo Gong and the Japanese female emperor."
