Although Zhu Zhen's literary level belongs to the horizon level, what words such as Qi decay rod period, service period, service period, etc., he was dumbfounded.

But even after listening and guessing, he still understood the matter of the monarch's argument.

To put it simply, the father wants the fifth brother to mourn Sun Guifei for three years, and let the rest of the princes, of course, also include himself, serve the mourning for one year.

As for mourning, what does it mean? Dai Xiao? I guess so......

However, the Ministry of Rites believes that according to the old rules and current laws, if the father is alive, the son will mourn for his mother for one year, and he will not have to mourn for his mother. Therefore, the fifth brother will mourn Sun Guifei for one year at most, and he and the rest of the brothers will serve for three months.

Then my father was very dissatisfied, and wanted the eldest brother to express his support, but I didn't expect the eldest brother to be more ruthless, and directly said that according to the etiquette, we are

The prince is not allowed to mourn for his mother for a day......

Only then did he understand that the eldest brother stopped the fourth brother from going to his father, not because he was afraid that his father would be angry, but because he wanted to carry all this by himself.

I thought that such a good brother only existed in books.

~~

His Royal Highness the King of Chu was moved there, but his father had already exploded his lungs.

"Boss, do you say it again?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the prince in disbelief.

"Returning to my father, the son said that the prince served his mother, so he respected the temple and re-inherited the world!" The prince lowered his head and said slowly but firmly:

"The concubine died, and the sons and ministers were also grief-stricken, but the father and queen mother were all there, so they couldn't serve this funeral."

Zhu Zhen understands everything, what the eldest brother means, my mother is still alive, what kind of mourning is it for a little lady!

Think about it, isn't that a curse for the queen to die?

Even he is not happy now, because his mother is also alive......

I'm the same. Zhu Zhen muttered secretly.

"How do you listen to three or not four? Father...... I said that it was not only for the Sun family," Zhu Yuanzhang held back his anger and said: "It's still for the reform of the funeral!" ”

"Since my father wants to set an example for all generations, he should be more cautious and cautious, and the "Book of Rites" is cloudy and re-honored, so it is the foundation of the country. It is not appropriate to change the funeral for one person! The crown prince raised his head and met his father's gaze and said:

"Please think twice!"

The prince's words were reasonable, well-founded and measured, so that his father could not refute them.

But this is not a good thing, if Zhu Yuanzhang can refute it, he will not break the defense. But now I can't refute it, but I can suffocate him.

"Think twice about your grandma's legs! The stinky boy's wings are stiff, dare to contradict Lao Tzu?! Zhu Yuanzhang patted the dragon chair and scolded:

"Wow! Let's invite the most powerful people in the world to teach you, so that you can help Lao Tzu share his worries! It's not for you to contradict Lao Tzu one by one! Hurry up and kneel down for us to admit your mistakes! ”

"It's okay to kneel, but Erchen is right." Zhu Biao also made a fuss, kneeling down and holding his neck. "I won't mourn my mother!"

"Okay, yes, yes, we were wrong." Zhu Yuanzhang completely lost his mind, and while looking left and right, he trembled with anger: "The most wrong thing for us is to give birth to you as a rebel!" ”

As he spoke, he actually sighed and pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven held in his arms by the waiter on the side.

"Let's cut you down a rebel!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised the bright sword and slashed at Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness!"

"Big Brother ......"

"Prince!" Everyone exclaimed in unison, and they were all stunned.

No one expected Boss Zhu to go crazy and even cut his own son!

And he is the favorite prince!

The crown prince was also stunned, he didn't expect his father to really be able to cut himself, and he couldn't react for a while.

Seeing that a tragic scene was about to be staged, suddenly a short figure rushed out of the oblique thorn like a cannonball, hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh, and shouted at the same time:

"Big brother, run!"

Hearing the shouts of the sixth brother, the prince woke up like a dream, and hurriedly rolled on a lazy donkey, so that his father's sword was cut into the air, and he climbed down the golden platform with a roll.

"Stop!" Zhu Yuanzhang slashed on the steps with a sword, and his anger became even stronger. With a sword in hand, he was about to chase down the golden platform.

"Sixth, let us go!" But he has an extra burden on him, how can he catch up with the prince. Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to pull Zhu Zhen's neck first, trying to pull him off his body.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu is too young after all, and as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang exerts a little force, he can't hold his thighs.

Zhu Zhen grabbed his father's jade belt again, but he didn't let go.

At this time, another young and strong figure pounced on him and hugged Lao Zhu's waist tightly.

This is a completely strong man locking a man.

"Wow, fourth, are you going to rebel too?" Zhu Yuanzhang was not so restrained from the fourth child who had grown up, and immediately filled himself with old fists.

Zhu Di didn't say a word, no matter how his father beat him, he just didn't let go.

"Come here!" Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he couldn't let go, so he had to shout at the prince who was a few feet away: "I ordered you to come over, this is a holy decree, do you dare to resist and disobey the decree?" ”

"The saint cloud, the small staff receives, and the big rod goes." Zhu Biao was completely sober, and shook his head categorically: "So please forgive your son for not obeying his orders, otherwise he will definitely regret it when his father calms down." ”

He also thoughtfully proposed: "If my father changes the sword in his hand with a whip, even if it is a stick, the son will obediently come forward and be punished." ”

"Yes, father, you can't cut the eldest brother!" Zhu Zhen reminded loudly: "If you go down with a sword, there is nowhere to buy regret medicine!" ”

"If it were a whip, we would be punished together!" Zhu Di also said loudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights, and he was already very weak, which made his two sons panting. The ministers also stood in front of the prince to admonish, and finally suppressed his evil fire a little.

"That's what you said." Boss Zhu threw the sword to the ground, and said with a dark face: "Take the prince, the king of Yan and the king of Chu down, and wait for us to change the whip to clean them up!" ”

"Thank you for your grace." The prince kowtowed and obediently followed the guards down.

Zhu Di also let go of his father and was taken down.

"I didn't say I wanted to be punished together, woo woo ......" Zhu Zhen was pulled down by Zhu Yuanzhang, and then cried and was taken away by General Tianwu.

~~

When the three highnesses went down, silence returned to outside the Fengtian Gate.

But there are some things that you can't go back to. For example, let the princes mourn for Sun Guifei and teach the prince this trouble, and all the officials and people know that the princes are unwilling.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer interesting to ask forcibly. The filial son mourned, originally to express sincerity and filial piety, forcing his son to wear linen and filial piety, how solemn is it?

And after Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down, he also regretted it, no matter what, he shouldn't be so standard. What should I do if a father and son have a disagreement? What should people do if they mistakenly think that the prince is about to fall out of favor?

So no matter how stubborn you are, it's really not cost-effective.

So Zhu Yuanzhang decided to give the prince a face, take a step back, let the fifth child serve the mourning for one year, and the rest of the princes serve for three months.

In this way, the people below will understand that he, Boss Zhu, still cares about the prince's feelings very much.

But in this way, his own situation is embarrassing again.

In order to forcibly save his respect, Boss Zhu said that he was not for Sun Guifei alone, but because the ancient rites were no longer in line with reality and needed to be reformed.

He ordered Song Lian, a scholar of Hanlin, to write a book of "Filial Piety Records" and distribute it to the world, re-stipulating the various funeral systems of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

From then on, children, regardless of whether they are fathers or mothers, must decline together for three years, the so-called 'family has two cuts'.

This has a relatively small impact on the common people, and it is too great for the readers.

Ding's father is worried for three years, and Ding's mother is worried for three years, if the kind of biological mother is not a wife, he has to worry about Ding for three years...... Whether it is life, study, or career, it has become intermittent and miserable.

Note: The plot of this book is basically in line with historical facts, including the time point. And at least from the two historical records at the same time, I will use it. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to cut Zhu Biao...... A figure in the early Ming Dynasty, a man like Zhu Yuanzhang, cannot be speculated with the logic of the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
