Chapter 282: Father and Son (2)

Zhu Heng really couldn't laugh.

A person who has been in a wheelchair for ten years was teased that he was weaker than a woman one moment, and suddenly said that he was expected to get strong soon, what is the difference between a normal person saying to a blind man, "Go, I'll take you to see the fireworks"?

Zhu Wu saw that Zhu Heng didn't respond to him, so he had to smile, get up and stand up, and took the wheelchair from Xiao Haizi's hand, "Second brother, there is something wrong with the third brother's words, please don't be like the third brother, no matter what, the third brother hopes that the second brother will get better and better, but our brothers have too little time to get along with each other, and they are too unfamiliar with each other, and the third brother Su Ri is used to being casual with others, and he forgot the taboo of the second brother for a while." ”

Zhu Heng had already restrained his emotions at this time, and when he heard this, he turned his head sideways and replied calmly: "It's okay, the second brother has long been used to it, what is there to taboo?" It's just that your second brother is afraid that he won't be able to get strong in this life, so please take care of your weak second brother in the future. ”

Zhu Xu sighed secretly, Zhu Heng had too deep a grudge in his heart, it was not so easy to resolve, after thinking about it, he called Zhu Jing and Zhu Yue over, these two are girls, and they are not very old, just eight or nine years old, it is the time of innocence, it is the two of them who accompany Zhu Heng to laugh, with the two of them, presumably Zhu Heng and Zhu Wu will not be too cold along the way.

The fact is also the same, the four of them got into the carriage, Zhu Jing and Zhu Yue rarely go out because they don't go out, so everything they see is new and interesting, and they will also pull Zhu Heng to watch it together, because they know that Zhu Heng, like them, rarely goes out, and is even more afraid of seeing people than them.

When passing by Guozijian, because there is a statue of Confucius at the door, Zhu Wu specially pulled Zhu Yue and Zhu Jing to watch, and the two little ones also asked him if there were many people in Taixue, whether there was really a great talent who could write poetry in seven steps, etc., and also asked Zhu Wu what interesting anecdotes he had during his study in Taixue.

Speaking and talking about the dragon boat race of Puji Temple, the dragon boat race of Puji Temple has a long history, the royal family was not involved in the beginning, one year because of the drought, in order to pray for rain, the emperor took the civil and military officials to do three days of great ritual in Puji Temple, just in time for the dragon boat race of Puji Temple, and it happened to be a heavy rain on the occasion of the dragon boat race, since then, the emperor will bring his courtiers to Puji Temple every year to pray for rain, and watch an event by the way.

Later, the ladies in the palace came to Puji Temple to pray for blessings, and gradually participated in this event.

Because the important purpose of Zhu Xu's trip is to pray for rain with civil and military officials, when Zhu Xu's dragon stopped, two rows of officials had stood on both sides of the gate of Puji Temple, Zhu Xu led everyone into the gate, and after seeing several masters, he wanted to go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to go to the pillar incense first, and when he just walked to the third furnace, Zhu Xu suddenly remembered Zhu Heng, stood still, and whispered to Chang Dezi beside him.

Chang Dezi turned around and walked out, and at the mountain gate, he happened to see Zhu Wu pushing Zhu Heng forward, and Zhu Heng seemed to be unwilling.

It turned out that although Zhu Wu also went out with the royal members every year, he had his own circle, so he promised to take Zhu Heng with him in front of his father to meet his friends, because that circle almost included all the children of the same age from the noble families in the capital.

Zhu Heng naturally knows this, last time the Queen Mother had to contact that circle on her birthday, although most people kept good intentions or no feelings for him, but he was still a little bored, especially on a crowded occasion like today, he couldn't predict what accidents would happen, so when Zhu Wu proposed to take him to the back mountain to participate in the rally, Zhu Heng refused.

But Zhu Wu had promised his father that he had repeatedly lobbied Zhu Heng, and when he was at a stalemate, Chang Dezi came.

"His Royal Highness Qiqi, the emperor is waiting for you in front."

Zhu Heng saw that Chang Dezi only mentioned that his father was waiting for him, and for a while suspected that he had heard it wrong, he looked at Chang Dezi, and at the same time looked at Chang Dezi and Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu didn't believe that his father was only waiting for Zhu Heng alone, you must know that in the past, if there was an occasion where the prince had to appear, the person his father wanted to bring was him.

Seeing this, Chang Dezi threw off the broom in his hand, bowed down again and said to Zhu Heng: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor ordered the servants to come and lead you over." ”

This was said clearly, Zhu Heng and Zhu Wu glanced at each other thoughtfully, and soon, Zhu Wu let go of his hand with a smile and said that he would come to him later.

Zhu Heng smiled lightly, did not answer, but raised his hand to signal to the two of them in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and the two carried the wheelchair into the mountain gate and pushed it to the emperor's side.

"Come, let's get to know each other, this is the dog Zhu Heng, ranked second." Zhu Xu saw Zhu Heng approaching, patted Zhu Heng's shoulder and said to the people present.

Zhu Heng first saluted with a few outsiders, and then bowed in a circle to the civil and military officials present, "Zhu Heng has seen the ministers. ”

The civil and military officials didn't expect Zhu Heng to salute them, and they hurriedly returned the salute, and even the old ministers replied with tears: "The second highness is really tormenting the old minister, the second highness is the eldest son of the emperor, representing the royal family, is the king, since ancient times, only the ministers salute the king, how can there be a king to salute the ministers?" ”

Zhu Heng didn't dare to accept this, and besides, he had never encountered such an occasion, no one had taught him how to deal with it, and he only did it by feeling, because he first bowed to the abbot and others, so he took it for granted that he should also bow to the ministers.

After all, the ministers present are all ministers of the humerus of the imperial court, and most of them have made great contributions to the royal family, how dare Zhu Heng trust it?

Zhu Xu saw that it was Sun Shi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who said this, this Sun Shi was over the age of sixteen, and he was the most traditional and stereotyped person, and he usually recited all kinds of ancient rituals and the way of Confucius and Mencius in front of Zhu Xu, and he also proposed more than once in the court to find a good doctor for Zhu Heng from the people, which is also the meaning of Zhu Xu to bring Zhu Heng to meet these old courtiers today, otherwise, these people really thought that he had mistreated this son.

"It doesn't matter, you are all the pillars of the imperial court, it is difficult for you to be diligent and conscientious for the Zhu family's society all these years, Zhu Heng should pay a salute to you on behalf of me, and you deserve it. It's just that don't cry and chirp today, you have to pray for rain after worshipping the Buddha early. The last sentence Zhu Xu said in a joking tone.

"Back to the emperor, this is the reason, the old minister is the first time to see the second highness, I can't help but be a little excited, the second highness is such a humble gentleman, but he is trapped in a wheelchair, the old minister is uneasy." Sun Shi took two steps forward and bowed and said.

Seeing this, Xu Fushan also took two steps forward, and he also had something to say.
