Public is public, private is private.

There is a Xia Qing's family in front of him, and a prince in the mouth, which means that Zhu Youzhu is standing in the position of Emperor Daming.

As far as the monarch and ministers are concerned, these two courtiers have done a particularly good job in disaster relief, especially the gift of taking off their boots, and when he heard the news, Emperor Hongzhi was even more shocked.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been only a handful of local officials who have enjoyed such treatment.

In the fifteen years since Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, there was only one Yan Rui, who served as Yongqing Zhi County for three years, revitalizing people, repairing water conservancy, cultivating wasteland, and controlling locust plagues.

It has truly served as an official and benefited one party.

When he left office, the people of the county sent each other off, and begged him to stay in office, and finally took off his boots to commemorate it.

And Xia Yuan has been in Puzhou for just over two months, but he can also enjoy this kind of courtesy of taking off his boots, which shows that he has given great grace to tens of thousands of people in Puzhou.

This is an official matter, and from the standpoint of the Ming Emperor, this disaster relief should be affirmed.

But if you stand in the position of your father and father-in-law, such a son and such a son-in-law will have to be beaten.

Let's talk about the monarch and the minister, and then talk about the father and son.

Emperor Hongzhi carried it very clearly.

One by one, the doors of the hall were closed, a bamboo strip was carried in his hand, Emperor Hongzhi looked up at the ceiling caisson above his head, as if looking for a suitable beam, and finally went out from the warm pavilion, pointed to the beam in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace with a bamboo strip and said, "Come on, first hang Zhu Houzhao to me!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was shocked when he heard this, Xia Yuan was even more shocked than him, what do you mean first?

Several eunuchs trembled over, and said to Zhu Houzhao with a sad face: "Your Highness, the emperor has a will, and the slaves and maids dare not disobey, they have to offend."

As he spoke, he took out a hemp rope, and regardless of Zhu Houzhao's struggle, tied him with a strong knot, and then several people worked together to hang him on the thick beam.

Zhu Houzhao was like a little pig waiting to be slaughtered, hanging on the beam and calling out in his mouth, "Father, the son is meritorious, the son has made a great contribution to the disaster relief this time, the son of the minister"

Just as he was shouting, the bamboo strip was whipped on his back, Zhu Houzhao snorted, tears instantly hurt down, and shouted: "Father, the son is wrong, the son is really wrong, the father don't fight"

"Wrong?" Emperor Hongzhi sneered, "Bastard thing!" Do you know what has become of me and your mother's worries when you go this time, and your mother washes her face with tears all day long, and her eyes are still swollen.

Do you still have the face to admit mistakes? Do you still have the face to admit your mistake? You still have the face to admit your mistake! ”

The more Zhu Youzhu spoke, the more angry he became, his anger was completely aroused, and he was beaten again while carrying the bamboo stick.

Zhu Houzhao screamed, and his body suspended in the air kept writhing.

Xia Yuan shrank in the warm pavilion and shivered, so frightened that his back was soaked with cold sweat, and the back of his neck was cold.

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's terrible scream, he was extremely frightened, but he couldn't care about sympathy, because it was probably himself who hung himself on the beam for a while.

Zhu Houzhao cried bitterly for a while, admitting his mistake and crying again, seeing that his father had no sign of soft-heartedness, his mouth was snorting and panting, obviously tired, but the movements of his hands still did not stop.

Seeing this, he simply didn't admit his mistake, and instead scolded: "Faint king! You are unconscious, I am meritorious, you actually beat the hero, faint king! ”

Emperor Hongzhi was tired and had no strength, and the bamboo strip in his hand also lost his strength, but when he heard this, his body seemed to be full of inexhaustible strength, and he pulled down a bamboo strip with all his strength, "I told you to scold!" You scold me again! ”

"Whew!" Zhu Houzhao snorted again, but still scolded unyieldingly: "Faint gentleman! ”

"I'll teach you to scold!"

"Faint King!"

"You scold again!"

"Faint!"

The bamboo strip was whipped on his body, snapping, it hurt when he listened, Zhu Houzhao screamed in pain, but his face was still unyielding, and he scolded one by one.

Xia Yuan admired and admired what was that, this unlucky child was Nima's real head iron, and he was also really beaten up.

The eunuchs in the hall have already knelt on the ground, trembling and shaking, only the father and son seem to be more energetic, you are faint, I will scold you again, Dumiao's happiness is unimaginable.

After a while, Emperor Hongzhi was really tired, tired enough, holding his knees and panting, gasping for a while, he raised his face and sneered: "You try to scold me again?" I'll kill you today! ”

Zhu Houzhao was very unyielding, and at this time he was even more arrogant, holding his neck high and saying: "Faint king!" ”

"You scold again!"

Xia Yuan sighed, he felt that there might be one less righteous friend in the world, one less prince in the Ming Dynasty, and one less absurd Ming Wuzong in history.

But what could he say, he could only shrink in the corner and mourn silently for Zhu Houzhao.

Beating people is actually a very tiring thing, Zhu Youzhu had already planned to let this kid go, as long as Zhu Houzhao was soft at this time and admitted his mistake, this matter would be turned over.

But with a faint sentence, the result can be imagined.

Emperor Hongzhi was on fire all of a sudden, he was tired and hot at this time, and he was sweating, he tore off the robe outside, threw it on the ground, and only wore a single coat, and then carried the bamboo strip and whipped it again.

In fact, this kind of thin bamboo strips have an advantage, this thing is thin and long, and it hurts to whip the body, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones, and even the skin and flesh can't be opened.

After all, the weather is cold now, and Zhu Houzhao wears a lot of clothes, so it is nothing more than a pain for a while, and countless bruises are added to his back.

Not to mention that Emperor Hongzhi was tired and had no strength, the bamboo strip didn't hurt or itch on his body, Zhu Houzhao no longer screamed, at most he hummed twice, but the faint monarch in his mouth didn't stop.

Zhu Youzhu obviously also discovered this, stopped his movements, and gasped, "If you dare to scold me again, I will order someone to rip off your clothes and beat you again!" ”

"Faint" Zhu Houzhao subconsciously wanted to scold again, but as soon as he said a faint word, he heard the second half of the sentence, and the word Jun was stuck in his throat, and he immediately swallowed it back, and shouted instead: "Father, the son is wrong!" ”

"Now you know it's wrong? It's late! ”

As he spoke, Emperor Hongzhi slapped a few more times with a bamboo strip, which seemed to be dissipating, and then he held his hand on his lower back, and pointed at Zhu Houzhao with the other hand holding the bamboo strip, "Come on, put Zhu Houzhao down for me, and then hang Xia Yuan for me!" ”

When the eunuchs in the hall heard this, they moved faster than the other, and they got up from the ground in a hurry, some of them went to put down Zhu Houzhao, and the other part took hemp ropes to tie Xia Yuan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Don't call me Your Majesty, I'm your father-in-law!"

Xia Yuan was very good, and hurriedly changed his words: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law is wrong!" ”

“.”

Zhu Youzhu didn't answer, and pointed to the beam with a bamboo strip, "Hang quickly!" ”

The end of the rope was thrown along the beam, and as soon as the person here pulled it, Xia Yuan went into the air.

Emperor Hongzhi pointed at him with a bamboo stick, "I am not an emperor now, and you are not my courtier.

As a son of man, he disregarded his personal safety and put himself in danger, which is a loss of filial piety; As a husband, he cares about the friendship between husband and wife, and lets his wife worry about you for more than two months, which is a loss for the husband.

Since you have no father, I, as a father-in-law, will teach you a lesson on your father's behalf, can you obey? ”

What could Xia Yuan say, he had to cry and say, "Little son-in-law." ”

"Just take it." As he spoke, the bamboo stick was pumped up, and Xia Yuan was about to call, but he was stunned, eh, why doesn't it hurt?

Immediately, he shouted loudly, "Father-in-law, son-in-law is wrong!" ”
