"What's the matter, I don't think I have to be controlled by us, I'm very happy, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a lower face.

"No, no, that's not what Erchen meant." The twelfth brother hurriedly explained: "Brother Eleventh and I just admire Brother Six, and we don't mean to disrespect our father in the slightest. ”

"Yes." Zhu Chun also nodded, and said steadily: "I can't be taught by my father and eldest brother personally, it's better to follow the sixth brother." ”

"Hmph, this is still like a ......" Zhu Yuanzhang stopped eating the sixth child's flying vinegar and asked, "What do you admire about him?" ”

"Although the sixth brother is only seven years older than us, he has already made so many merits and done so many great things, and he has become the third prince!" The old twelve said with admiration on his face: "I heard that the sixth brother was already in charge when he was twelve years old. We hadn't been out of the palace since we were twelve. ”

"yes." Old Eleven nodded in agreement.

"Ten years ago? He's on his own? Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and asked the prince: "What did the sixth child do ten years ago?" ”

"Ten years ago was the eighth year of Hongwu, and he and his brothers went back to Fengyang to practice." Zhu Biao reminded his father in a low voice.

"Then didn't he just go back to herd the cattle and ask for food?" Zhu Yuanzhang also whispered.

"It should be the troupe he grouped, he was the class leader at the time, maybe this is the one in charge." The prince guessed.

"Oh, this guy can really blow it......" Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips, and subconsciously wanted to damage the sixth brother again, and the prince coughed, indicating that he could not destroy the image of the sixth brother in the hearts of his younger brothers.

He had no choice but to put away his scolding, and rarely commented positively on the sixth child: "Indeed, although he is not a few years older than you, he is the one who has the greatest credit among all the princes." Otherwise, why did he make the third prince? ”

"Over the years, he has really done a lot for us - the depression in the Suzhou market led to the civil uprising, and he went to pacify it. In his hands, Suzhou not only regained its prosperity, but also became the richest city in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The pilot project of the Yellow Book in Jiangxi could not be implemented, and he also went to do it, and he cleaned up all aspects of Jiangxi under Zhang Dazhen, and successfully completed the Yellow Book of Jiangxi, Qingzhang and Lijia." Saying that, he emphasized to his two sons: "Later, we piloted it in Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and crossed the river by feeling the stones, and it took several years to complete it, which shows the ability of your sixth brother." ”

Not to mention the recent deeds of the expedition to Japan, Pingyunnan, and the establishment of Guozi University. If you can have the same of these martial arts of the sixth child, we will be very satisfied. He looked at his two sons and said expectantly.

"Erchen must try his best to learn from the sixth brother, and he must also make his father proud!" The old twelve are excited, don't don't. Young people are like this, they always think that others can do what they do.

The eleventh was much calmer, and just said softly: "Erchen strives not to disappoint his father." ”

"Don't think that our requirements are very low, the things that the sixth child does, it is not easy to do any of them." Zhu Yuanzhang poured cold water on the old twelve and said: "You may not be able to do one thing in your life in the future." Some things are born and cannot be learned. ”

"Yes, Father." The old twelve were a little wilted when they arrived.

"Look up." Zhu Yuanzhang said a little sternly: "Remember, follow your sixth brother, it is good to learn his skills, if you can't learn it, learn his good qualities." This is something that can be learned, and it must be learned! ”

"Yes, Father." The two sons hurriedly responded as if they understood or not.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand them at this age, so he had to say more thoroughly: "Do you know what is the best quality of your sixth brother?" ”

"Resourceful and omnipotent!" The old twelve hurriedly replied.

"That's not right." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head categorically and said: "It is a pure heart!" All the things he has done over the years have been for Daming and for our family! I will never do anything that harms the country and our family! ”

"I don't believe you look at these years, if we let him go to Japan, he will go to Japan, let him go to Yunnan, let him go to Yunnan, let him go to Guozi University, he will go to run Guozi University, and he will retire after completing it, without any nostalgia. How can a father not like such a son? How could the emperor not be kind to such a prince? ”

Saying that, he said in an accentuated tone: "You must learn from him first, and always have a pure heart, so that you will never repeat the mistakes of those three bastards, and you can also ensure that you live a peaceful life for the rest of your life." ”

"Yes, my son remembers the teachings of his father." The two sons resigned.

~~

When Boss Zhu was training, Zhu Biao listened quietly and did not interject.

It wasn't until he left Wuying Hall with his two younger brothers that he asked the two: "Do you all understand what your father said?" ”

"I understand some, but I don't understand everything." Old Eleven said softly.

"Doesn't my father just want us to always have a pure heart like the sixth brother?" The twelfth said bluntly: "Be a good son of the father, a good courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and a good brother of the eldest brother." The father and the eldest brother let us chase the dog instead of the chicken, let us go east and not west. ”

"Hahaha, the sixth is not like that." Zhu Biao was afraid that they would be taken to the ditch by his father, so he corrected the two: "He has always just done what he thinks is right, and he definitely doesn't do what his father asks him to do." That's not what the prince of Daming should be, if the sixth child was really like that, he wouldn't have today's achievements. ”

"That's it......" The eleventh and twelfth eleventh and twelfth suddenly felt that the words of the eldest brother were more reliable. Because they have been in the palace since childhood, they have heard too much about the 'heroic deeds' of the sixth brother, but in addition to the eldest brother, the only brother who dares to argue with his father, how can he be as honest and obedient as his father said?

"As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, you should also be like him, have your own clear view of right and wrong, and clearly know what you should do and what you should not do. I think that's what you need to establish. The prince said earnestly:

"You know, you're not like ordinary people's children. Ordinary people teach their children at home that good is right and evil is wrong, which is relatively simpler. Even if the parents are confused and can't teach their children, they don't really care, at most they can't live their own lives well, and they can't affect others. ”

"But you are princes, and you will be a vassal in a few years, and any decision you make will change the fate of thousands of people. Right and wrong suddenly become much more complicated. The prince then gave two examples:

"Emperor Wu of Liang took great care of his brothers and children, and was extremely tolerant, with the morality of ordinary people, it cannot be said to be wrong, but it is a great disaster for the country and the people. Cao Mengde coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, at the moral level of ordinary people, he was naturally a traitor with a white face, but it was very beneficial to the country and the people. ”

"But when I give these two examples, I definitely don't mean that if you are born in an imperial family, you can be free from the constraints of morality and law." Zhu Biao was afraid that the two would hear it crookedly, so he hurriedly emphasized:

"Your brothers are just because they have this kind of concept, and they turned out to be big mistakes, don't learn from them."

"Yes, big brother." The two brothers hurriedly responded.
