When the crown prince Zhu Hai came out of the East Palace, he went to the Wenhua Hall to find his father, but the news he got was that his father went to the Xuanwu Lake Courtyard.

Zhu Hai knew that the Dongchang gang would not wait too long, so in order to hurry, he went to the Imperial Horse Supervisor to grab a horse and rode towards Xuanwu Lake.

Zhu Hai knew that he had made a big mistake today, and he had already committed a big taboo by robbing the war horse of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, not to mention that he was still running wild in the palace, but Zhu Hai* couldn't take care of these things in order to save people, so he could only take one step at a time!

With the natural speed of the horse, it took Zhu Hai less than a quarter of an hour to come out of the Xuanwu Gate of the palace city, break through the three checkpoints of the palace guards, and go out of the Bei'an Gate to the Taiping Gate outside the Xuanwu Lake.

Outside the Taiping Gate is the prison of Xingbu, there are few people in this place, plus Zhu Hai is wearing a bright yellow service and riding a horse, many people still think that something is wrong, and there is chaos outside the Taiping Gate for a while.

Zhu Hai rushed to the courtyard, Zhu Hongsan just entered, Zhu Hai hurriedly dismounted and came to the door, he didn't dare to break into the courtyard on horseback, those Praetorian guards standing guard didn't care if you were the prince or not, they would shoot if they leaned in!

There is a eunuch at the gate of the courtyard who recognizes the prince, so hurry up and kowtow!

"Master is here! The emperor has just entered, and the young master has come with the emperor's will! ”

What is Zhu Hai's will, he pulled the eunuch and said: "This father-in-law, there is no father-in-law's will to come to this palace today, please ask your father-in-law to go in and say that there is something important in this palace to see my father!" ”

That little eunuch was just a little eunuch who didn't enter the stream, where he dared to do such a thing, Zhu Hai didn't dare to take out a handful of jewelry from his arms, and he didn't see what was stuffed into the little eunuch's hands!

"This father-in-law, this palace has something important to see my father today, please help my father-in-law, and the palace will have a lot of thanks in the future!"

The little eunuch saw that the prince was in such a hurry, and knew that there was really something wrong with Bacheng, the prince! The future emperor still has to make good friends himself!

The little eunuch gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Master, please rest assured, I'll go in and tell you!" ”

Zhu Hai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw the little eunuch enter, it seemed that there was still time to come, and he must convince his father!

Soon, Zhu Hongsan's will to let Zhu Hai go in came down, and Zhu Hai hurriedly prepared to follow the little eunuch who ordered to enter the Xuanwu Lake Courtyard.

Zhu Hongsan was sitting in the hall, just about to prepare for dinner, when he saw Zhu Hai come in with a dusty face, his face was covered with dust and his face was sweating profusely.

Zhu Hongsan frowned when he saw this, and asked unhappily: "Prince, is there anything wrong with being so anxious to see me?" ”

Zhu Hai fell to his knees and said, "Father, please give an order to forgive the Xiang family!" ”

Zhu Hongsan knew what Zhu Hai was doing, but when he saw that Zhu Hai* was about to kneel down for a woman, he was angry in his heart and scolded: "Look at what you have become, you are the prince!" Is it the prince of the Ming Dynasty, don't you talk about etiquette at all for a woman? ”

Zhu Hongsan's words were very heavy, but Zhu Hai* didn't care about anything else in order to save people: "Father, Zhu Shengduo is your eldest grandson, can you bear to watch your eldest grandson lose his mother?" Please forgive Xiang! ”

Zhu Hongsan saw that Zhu Hai was getting more and more unlooking, and shouted angrily: "Shut up!" Come on, drive this rebel to me! ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, two brocade guards came in outside and wanted to take Zhu Hai out, but Zhu Hai had already let it out.

Zhu Hai pushed away the two brocade guards, stood up and laughed: "Father, is your country more important than your parents' affection?" When the queen mother was shot by Li Chengdong, you didn't take revenge but named him the king of the county, and married the second sister to his son! Now you're doing this to me again, Father! How can you go to see the Queen Mother under the Nine Springs! “

Zhu Hongsan was already in a bad mood, and he was even more angry when he heard Zhu Hai say this. Back then, Li Chengdong's incident was a shame for him Zhu Hongsan in his life, but at that time, the situation was forced there, and if Li Chengdong was not sealed, could it be so easy to occupy Nanjing? Now that his son doesn't understand him, Zhu Hongsan feels very annoyed in his heart!

Zhu Hongsan stood up and lifted it hard, overturned the wine table, and scolded: "What are you talking about, bastard? What is Lao Tzu doing this for? It's not for you little brute! Do you dare to doubt your Lao Tzu? Good! Good! Your life was given to you by me, and now I will take it back! ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he stood up and took out the embroidered spring knife from the waist of the brocade guard standing on the edge of the hall and slashed at the crown prince Zhu Hai!

Zhu Hai saw that his father was going to cut himself, his eyes closed, and he thought to himself: Anyway, this prince is boring, and this body is also given by him, so it is better to return it to him!

Just when Zhu Hongsan's knife was about to fall on Zhu Hai's head, a hand stretched out on the side and firmly held the blade, which was Princess Zhu Yujiao of Kunyi.

Zhu Yujiao was good friends with Ma Xiaofang back then, and she also admired the prince Zhu Hai very much, and today she saw Zhu Hai* being punished by Zhu Hongsan for the woman she loved, and she couldn't help but think of her hard-working brother Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Yujiao's father, Emperor Chongzhen, was short-tempered, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong was gentle and elegant, and he was usually scolded by Chongzhen, but at this time, Empress Zhou would use her body to protect Zhu Cihong. Zhu Yujiao saw that Zhu Hai closed his eyes and waited for death, which looked very much like his brother, and Zhu Yujiao was a staunch supporter of the elder system, so he stepped forward and held Zhu Hongsan's knife with the only remaining hand.

Although Zhu Hongsan was very angry, Zhu Hai was his own son, could he still hack him to death with a knife? Therefore, Zhu Hongsan's subordinates did not use much strength, if they used all their strength, Zhu Yujiao could not say that half of his shoulders could be removed with one hand.

But Jinyiwei's waist knife is not an iron knife used in martial arts, it is made of high-carbon steel in Guangdong, and Zhu Yujiao's grip is also a cut palm, and the blood is flowing!

Zhu Yujiao held the knife and shouted: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is your own son, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, you must not kill each other!" ”

Zhu Hongsan was very distressed when he saw that Zhu Yujiao's hand was injured, and he put down his waist knife and shouted: "Call the imperial doctor!" ”

The imperial doctors are all in the city, but Jinyiwei has good knife wound medicine, and someone presents it, and Zhu Hongsan carefully bandages Zhu Yujiao.

Zhu Hai opened his eyes and found that he was fine, and saw that it was Zhu Yujiao who blocked the knife for himself, and he was very grateful. But Zhu Yujiao is not a genuine concubine, and Zhu Hai can't be called, so he can only stand aside silently.

After Zhu Hongsan finished bandaging Zhu Yujiao, he looked at Zhu Hai and scolded: "You little brute, who are you doing this for?" Isn't it for you little brute? Now Lao Tzu asks you, do you want to be this prince, give Lao Tzu a happy word today! ”

Zhu Hai heard Zhu Hongsan say this, his face changed several times, and he really didn't want to be this prince, but now it's too late to retreat! In the five thousand years of China, there has never been a prince who abdicated the throne and died well!

Seeing Zhu Hai hesitating, Zhu Yujiao said on the side: "Your Majesty, the prince must be dizzy today, please spare the prince!" Zhu Hai! Although I am not your biological mother, I am good friends with your mother, I can't watch you go wrong, and you still don't apologize to your father! ”

Zhu Hai also calmed down at this time, the throne is something he must not give up, and now Princess Kunyi let her go down the steps, and quickly knelt down and said: "Father, the son is wrong, the son was a little dizzy just now, please punish the father!" ”

Zhu Hongsan looked at Zhu Hai in front of him, and felt sad in his heart, this son is very unlike himself, can he control those old fritters after his death?

"Since you know that you are wrong, go to the Zongren Mansion and confine it for a month, think about it, copy the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times, and see how the sage taught you to be a son!"

Zhu Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, fortunately, his position as the prince was preserved.

The brocade guard outside the hall came in at this time and escorted the prince into the city and into the prison of the Zongren Mansion!

Things went like this, and the meal couldn't be eaten, and Zhu Hongsan was not interested in eating any seafood, so he sent a few women back and carried Zhu Yujiao to the bedroom by himself.

Seeing that Zhu Yujiao couldn't use both hands, Zhu Hongsan asked bitterly: "Yujiao, are you okay?" ”

"Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty's father and son work together, this injury of the concubine is nothing!"

Hearing Zhu Yujiao talk about the crown prince, Zhu Hongsan sighed: "The prince has a gentle temperament and is polite, if he was born in an ordinary family, he can be a good heir, but when he is the emperor, he lacks that ruthless energy!" ”

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is still young after all, and he is just nineteen years old this year! Your Majesty is in the spring and autumn period, and there will be time to teach the prince in the future! ”

Zhu Hongsan shook his head and didn't say anything, there is an old Chinese saying that three years old looks at the big seven years old, and the prince is like this! But what about the sons other than the crown prince? The second Zhu Jiang is brave and martial, but he is so happy and not a good successor. The third Zhu Huai has a lot of eyes and means, but they are all clever, and they can't be on the table at all. The remaining sons are still too young to see anything.

Today, Zhu Hongsan originally wanted to solve the trouble for the crown prince with good intentions, not to mention that the Xiang family was just a woman of unknown origin, even if everyone gave birth to a son in front of the crown princess. If this matter had been replaced by Zhu Hongsan himself, Xiang would have been quietly solved a long time ago, when did the woman not have it? How can a woman delay her big things?

All of Zhu Hai's forces come from Ma Mingyuan, and now at this critical time, you must not anger the Ma family, Zhu Hongsanman thinks that the prince has understood politics after several years of experience, but now it seems that it is still far from enough!

Thinking of Ma Mingyuan and Zhu Hongsan, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, Ma Mingyuan is the prince's teacher, is the prince who teaches like this?

In fact, Zhu Hongsan was a little angry with Ma Mingyuan, Ma Mingyuan is the prince's teacher, but Ma Mingyuan is the first assistant, so many things in daily life, so can he educate the prince? But Zhu Hai is Zhu Hongsan's own son, Zhu Hongsan psychologically thinks that his son is good, and now he is taught by others.

The more Zhu Hongsan thought about it, the more angry he became, and the anger provoked by Zhu Hai just now had not yet been vented, Zhu Hongsan thought about it and said to the little eunuch outside the door: "Someone! You go and preach! Ma Mingyuan, as the young master of the crown prince, taught unfavorably, took back the shoulders in the palace, Huang Zongxi behaved perversely, and released the prefect of Luzon! Let Ma Mingyuan go to the Zongren Mansion to take a good look at the prince, what kind of students he teaches! ”
