The righteous appearance just now has completely disappeared.

The old man dragged the sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword made a sound on the ground.

The two of them, who were kneeling on the ground, listened to the sound that was getting closer and closer to them, as if the sword was not drawn on the ground, but on their own hearts, and their hearts were extremely nervous.

Until the old man came to them, he kept bypassing them to the side of the big tree, cutting off a thorn with a sword, and then returning to the temple.

The two kneeling on the ground breathed a long sigh of relief.

In this short period of time, dense cold sweat has already broken out on the foreheads of the two.

The third child's pair of thief eyebrows and rat eyes looked back and forth, making sure that the old man had really left, so he dared to straighten up.

looked at the second child who was still honestly lying on the ground and didn't dare to move, and suddenly said: "Second brother, didn't you say that you are not afraid?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu, who was sweating, suddenly knocked a fist on the waist of the third child, and his face no longer had the arrogant appearance he had just had, and even his voice was deliberately restrained, and he said in a deep voice: "You're not afraid, you're not afraid of kneeling here to do something?" ”

Inside the temple.

After the old man returned, he directly threw the thorns in his hand in front of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and said in a calm voice: "Pick it up." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to speak, and the old man continued: "Pick it up! ”

Hearing the old man's voice raise, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said, "There are thorns." ”

Zhu Di said: "Wouldn't it be better for me to pull out the thorn for you?" ”

After speaking, he shouted again: "Someone." ”

Hearing this, Little Snot immediately ran in: "In." ”

Zhu Di said: "Xuanbei Zhenfu Division, I want to open the prison!" ”

Seeing that the old man was really going to put King Han and King Zhao in prison, Zhu Gaochi immediately reached out to grab the thorn alive, and Zhu Zhanji, who was watching all this, knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly stopped his father's movements.

After signaling him to be restless, he hurriedly came to the old man's side with a smiling face, and said: "Grandpa, my grandson went to the Han Wang's Mansion today and got something, and my grandson felt that my grandfather must want to see it, so he brought it over." Grandpa might as well take a look first? ”

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Di, who was still angry, held back for the time being, raised his hand, and said, "Open it." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly beckoned to the little snot on the side.

The little snot Zhao Quan was also a clever person, and immediately walked over with a shelf.

As the scroll hung on the shelf and opened, Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "Grandpa." ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's shout, Zhu Di knew in his heart that this kid was here to intercede, but he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and turned his head to look over.

In this picture, there is a picture of a tiger descending from a mountain.

Beside the tiger, there were several tiger cubs.

The tiger statue in the painting is very realistic, vivid, the majesty of the big tiger, and the naivety of the little tiger can be fully displayed in the painting.

As an emperor, Zhu Di naturally has a lot of famous paintings around him, but he can't see that this painting is good at all in his life.

It was a few lines on the side that caught his attention.

Looking at these lines, Zhu Di whispered.

"The tiger is the respect of all beasts...."

"Who dares to touch his anger...."

"Only parent-child affection...."

"One step at a time...."

"Only parent-child affection, step by step review ....."

Zhu Di tasted the meaning of these lines, and couldn't help but repeat it again.

Especially with the tiger statue in the painting at this moment, the words and the picture scroll complement each other, and for a while, Zhu Di, the old emperor who has fought all his life, is also a little moved.

Thinking of the purpose behind what he had done in the past few days, Zhu Di's iron-like heart, which had been tempered in the flames of war, was also touched at this moment, and even the corners of his eyes were a little moist when he was unconscious.

How many years, since the mother of these children died, Zhu Di seems to have no one in this world who can let him confide in his heart.

He is like the big tiger in this painting, alone with these newborn tigers in the world, firmly protecting them behind him.

No matter how much suffering he encounters, he is not afraid.

If someone wants to cut his domain, he is not afraid.

When others want him to eat pig, he is not afraid.

Others want to kill him, and he is not afraid.

He rebelled, he rebelled, he broke through the imperial city, and he sat on the dragon chair representing the supreme power.

The Mongols in the north wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to bully him, and they attacked the frontier and killed the Han people for many years, but he was not afraid.

As the emperor, he personally led a large army and wore battle armor to crisscross the battlefield.

Kill the enemy in the north and throw away the armor.

He pacified the troubled times in northern Xinjiang, took the land of Annan, he sealed the wolf Juxu, he repaired the Yongle Canon, and left a strange book for future generations.

He was not afraid of any of this.

is only afraid of the few cute little tigers around him who have no threat to him.

He was afraid of their infighting, and he was afraid that their brothers would kill each other.

He was afraid that after his own death, these little tigers would die at the hands of his own people.

Not as the title in this painting, only parent-child love, step by step......

Looking at Zhu Di's changed expression, as the person who was most familiar with Zhu Di, the little snot Zhao Quan's face suddenly appeared with joy.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting on the ground on the side, saw the look on his father's face, and he was also secretly relieved in his heart.

When I looked at my little cub again, my heart was full of relief.

This kid didn't raise it in vain.

Zhu Zhanji's move successfully pulled Zhu Di, who had entered the role of an iron-blooded and ruthless emperor, back to the role of his father and grandfather.

Zhu Di, who gradually came back to his senses, wiped the corners of his eyes without everyone noticing, and then patted Zhu Zhanji's shoulder with his back to everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa didn't hurt you in vain." ”

Over the years, Zhu Zhanji was the first person who could see through the emotions behind his back as a high-ranking emperor. He is also the only one who has always regarded Zhu Di as his grandfather rather than the emperor.

This is the sorrow of every family whose mother dies young, because the family has no emotional hub.

As soon as Zhu Di said this, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Di shouted again: "Let the two kneeling outside go back." ”

"Tell them that the crown prince and the eldest grandson sacrificed their lives to keep them safe!"

Hearing this, Zhao Quan, the little snot, hurriedly took the order: "Yes." ”

With that, he turned and walked out.

"This one, it's over."

Zhu Di let out a sigh of relief and drove everyone out of the house with a wave of his hand.

Just when Zhu Zhanji was about to leave quietly, the old man suddenly said, "Stinky boy, come here." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Zhu Zhanji's steps froze, and his face was helpless.

And the prince on his side saw his son's expression asking for help, but he ignored it, and just slipped away quickly.
