The little eunuch hurriedly ran out to play an umbrella, Zhu Biao and Zhu Rong walked into the Fengtian Hall one after the other, the two of them were soaked, their clothes were tightly attached to their bodies, and they looked very embarrassed.

Zhu Biao took the lead and said: "Father, the seventh brother, he knows that he is wrong, for the sake of Concubine Da, can you forgive him?" ”

"Shut up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a cold face and glared at Zhu Biao, who was silent, only to see the cold light in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, like a flashing knife, sweeping back and forth on Zhu Rong's body, coupled with Zhu Yuanzhang's meticulous temperament, it was very scary.

"Lang'er, why do we want to punish you?"

Zhu Yu was stunned.

I angered my father with two things, the first was to skip school from the main hall, and the second was to allow Gao Qi to be buried in the ground, which one did my father want to hear......

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was very soft, but his tone was very cold, "Why do you want to disobey our will?" ”

"The father and emperor let the son study, and in the future, he will govern the vassal kingdom and make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the son will let the people go according to the principles in the book."

"The book doesn't teach you to do that."

Zhu Yuanzhang said very lightly, as if he was understatic, but the coldness in his voice became heavier and heavier, as if at this time, there was an invisible cold wind in the palace, which froze all living things into sculptures.

Mao Xiang held the saber and didn't dare to move, the head of the criminal department lowered his head and let the beads of sweat drip down, and the eunuchs' eyes revealed panic.

On the contrary, it is Zhu Biao and Zhu Rong.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, there is only the prince.

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, then at Zhu Rong, and wanted to open his mouth several times.

Zhu Rong looked very peaceful, the eunuchs secretly praised him in their hearts, they didn't know that Zhu Rong was so frightened that he kept his original expression, he rarely saw Zhu Yuanzhang on weekdays, this sense of alienation made him more worried than Zhu Biao.

"There is love outside the law, if the father only rules the world with the law, what is the difference between it and the tyranny of the Emperor? The people will only fear the punishment of the law, but they will not have the heart to support the court. ”

"The father and son of the monarch and the minister, the father and the emperor preached the rule of filial piety in the world, and ordered the scholars to read the scriptures and classics, Gao Meng is the son of Gao Qi, filial piety cannot violate the etiquette, and he should bury Gao Qi in accordance with the prescribed etiquette.

"Isn't it true that my father is promoting filial piety while not allowing the people to fulfill their filial piety and reach the ears of the people of the world?"

After saying this, Zhu Yan seemed to be evacuated.

His abrupt stop made the hall suddenly quiet, they were all waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, Qi King Zhu Rong was the most playful, and it seemed that he had been studying hard recently.

For a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't praise him, but the coldness in his voice decreased a lot, "Go down and change your clothes, don't catch a cold." ”

Zhu Yan was stunned, and was ready to starve for nine meals in three days.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely strict with their brothers, and the third Zhu Li once disliked the unpalatable food in the palace, which reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears and was ordered to fast for three days.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's previous punishment, Zhu Rong will also be fasted.

But who wants to think about it without punishment?

Walk out of the Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Biao hugged Zhu Rong's shoulder, "Seventh brother, when I face my father, I will definitely not be able to say what I said just now." ”

Zhu Biao was not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, when he was a child, Zhu Biao made him angry, Zhu Yuanzhang would take off his shoes and throw them at him, and Zhu Biao would run.

But now that I have grown up, I don't have the courage I had as a child.

"Father will not punish you, my father rarely cares about us on weekdays, my brother can meet with my father every day, brother, my father obviously refused to forgive me before, why did he lose his anger in a blink of an eye?"

"When it comes to governance, my father should be pleased."

Zhu Biao smiled earnestly, this playful younger brother is finally sensible.

At this time, the little eunuch came over and said that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to summon Zhu Biao to discuss the court.

Zhu Rong was a little envious, he walked down the imperial steps, and was about to return to the dormitory, but after a few steps, Zhu Rong paused, and his eyes stayed in front of him.

A man dressed in purple brocade walked this way.

The Ming Dynasty had strict regulations on the fabric, style, size, and color of clothing, and Xuanhuang purple was exclusively used by the royal family, and the officials and soldiers were not allowed to use these three colors, and the person at the head wore the purple for the royal family.

"Seventh brother, I heard that you made a mistake outside the palace?"

Zhu Di was summoned to Fengtian Hall to discuss matters, and met Zhu Yu outside the Fengtian Palace, because of Zhu Rong's playful character, no one paid attention to him, even the elder brother was very helpless to this younger brother.

When following Zhu Yuanzhang to fight, the princes were still young, and the relationship between the brothers was very harmonious.

But now that they are a little older, their relationship is not so harmonious.

Especially between the older Zhu Zhang, Zhu Li and Zhu Di, first of all, the three brothers were not convinced by the crown prince Zhu Biao, thinking that he was too weak.

The second is between Zhu Zhang, Zhu Li and Zhu Di, competing with each other.

But for the younger brothers, Zhu Di and the others have not yet developed the intention of competing, probably because they feel that they are too young and do not regard them as opponents at all.

"Seventh brother, my father has to deal with the government every day, how can you use your own affairs to disturb him?"

"Oh, I see."

Zhu Yu returned to his residence and was stopped by the waiting old eunuch.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother asked you to go to Kunning Palace."

As soon as she stepped into Kunning Palace, Zhu Yu saw a virtuous and gentle woman, wearing four phoenix hairpins on her head, wearing a pale blue Zhai robe, her hands folded on her knees, her face was a little gloomy, and she sat solemnly.

This is his biological mother, Concubine Dading.

And the woman sitting in the middle is Queen Ma, Queen Ma is as frugal as Zhu Yuanzhang, and the precious jewelry given to her is rarely seen on her head, she is a woman who can subdue the Six Palaces without relying on external decorations and appearances, and in the back court, her words are like holy decrees.

Sitting on the side, there was also a dignified woman, who was the biological mother of Zhu Rong's sixth brother, Concubine Hu Chong.

These three women govern the Houting Court together, originally there should be four people, and there is one woman, Zhu Di and Zhu Hu's mother concubine Li, but she has passed away.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor of the Kai Dynasty, just wanted to complete the task of spreading the branches and leaves, and was not obsessed with the affairs of men and women.

Therefore, it is very rare for women to be jealous and glamorous in the back court.

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

Queen Ma said that she was the mother of the kings and princesses in the palace, and Zhu Yan naturally shouted out.

Before Queen Ma could react, Concubine Dading's eyes were filled with coldness, and her black button-like eyes stared at Zhu Yu: "You are willful and reckless on weekdays, just because this palace has always favored you, what are you doing wrong!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was very prestigious in the back court, and executed several officials a while ago.

She was really worried that this bad son would cause some kind of trouble.

"The sons and daughters are ashamed of the teachings of their father, mother, and mother, and should not go against their father's will."

Concubine Dading's eyes moved slightly, and her expression softened a little: "This palace can't discipline you!" ”

Queen Ma was very peaceful, she looked at Zhu Rong, "Lang'er, you are about to grow up, and if you make mistakes in the future, Your Majesty will not punish you for kneeling or beating you again, but will treat you as a courtier according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and you must not be so stubborn." ”

Queen Ma, a very complicated woman, she treats the prince and concubines with kindness and gentleness, but she is fierce and fearless when she treats Zhu Yuanzhang, and she is the only woman who refutes Zhu Yuanzhang but is still alive and well.

Zhu Yu looked up blankly, and could feel the love of Queen Ma and his mother.

An old eunuch poked his head out of the door and retracted back, Queen Ma asked him to come in, and the old eunuch looked at Zhu Rong without saying anything.

Queen Ma's face sank: "Say it quickly." ”

"Liu Bowen was summoned into the palace by His Majesty."

The old eunuch shuddered.

Queen Ma's face suddenly became heavy, she knew Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not punish his heirs, but he might not let Liu Bowen go.

Zhu Yu reacted that the princes of the early Ming Dynasty would definitely have to go through the cutting of the domain, and the opportunity was to be able to hire a great sage to assist him in governing the domain.

Liu Ji helped Zhu Yuanzhang get the world for eight years, this kind of person is a minister in troubled times, and his role in the peaceful and prosperous era is very limited, and the emperor will not give him much room to show.

However, how could Zhu Yu refuse the ceiling-level Zhichen of this era?

"Mother, I want Liu Bowen to be my teacher."

Zhu Yu seemed to have said something out of place, and everyone looked at it, but Zhu Yu's face was thick enough to accept everyone's eyes.

Queen Ma came back from her contemplation, and she had a deep friendship with the heroes of eastern Zhejiang.

When they didn't dare to speak directly to Zhu Yuanzhang, they would come to Queen Ma, and she kept in mind the abilities and merits of these people.

Queen Ma looked Zhu Rong up and down, and said: "The Houcourt's interference in the government is to destroy the social program of the new dynasty, your father has stipulated that the harem cannot interfere in politics, go to your father." ”
