Chapter four hundred and ninety-ninth character flaws
"See how virtuous you are. After leaving the palace, you say that you have developed such a virtuous character by studying hard? You are just going out to play. Move us back to the palace immediately. No one can step out without my order.
One step from the palace gate!"
Zhu Tie and Zhu Ping kept trembling and promised. The situation just now frightened them. The two brothers, who had already had a psychological shadow on their father, now had their buttocks clenched tight, fearing that they would fart if they stopped.
Zhu Biao sighed, but these two brothers were in trouble. Although the two boys were not gentlemen and were not good at women, they still had a sense of character. At most, they just played with their personal maids. They were not as bad as Zhu Ping who went to those dandies and imitated some dandies.
.
However, they have always been inseparable, and neither of them can run away. Fortunately, neither of them has dark circles under their eyes. They are still energetic. Although their faces are pale, they are frightened at first glance. Lao Zhu naturally noticed it, otherwise he would have been beaten again.
Pick up the stick.
Zhu Biao walked up to his two younger brothers again and knelt down facing his father: "As the eldest brother, I have to discipline the younger brothers on the orders of my father and queen. As the saying goes, a tiger comes from the coffin, and a tortoise and a jade are destroyed from the coffin."
The keeper of the code cannot refuse to take responsibility!"
"My son is guilty and cannot escape his responsibility. Please remember that my brothers are young and put all the punishment on my son. I also ask my father to calm down and take care of the dragon body. If my father falls ill due to his anger, I will wait until he can feel at ease."
!”
Concubine Li on the side had already rushed to Zhu Xi's hand, holding her son's hand and weeping continuously. Empress Ma and the two imperial doctors continued to comfort her. In addition, the whole place was silent, and all the eunuchs and maids lowered their hands and stood silently.
The Queen and His Royal Highness have arrived. At this time, they only need to keep quiet. If even these two cannot appease the Holy Lord, then they can only resign themselves to fate.
Empress Ma turned her head and looked at the three princes kneeling on the ground without saying anything. She also looked at Zhu Ping's face at this moment. It was indeed too much wear and tear. If he didn't stop it, he would be depleted of kidney energy and die early. He should be beaten.
.
The two princes kneeling behind Zhu Biao breathed a real sigh of relief when they saw that their elder brother had withstood the pressure. If the elder brother hadn't stepped forward, they would have been on the verge of death. Even the elder brother was willing to hit them with a stick.
Not to be beaten to death.
However, these two are not fools. They naturally know that if they hide quietly under the wings of their elder brother, they will make their father even more angry. Even if they let it go for the sake of their elder brother, they will definitely find an opportunity to fight back.
This is the survival experience the three brothers have summarized since childhood...
"Father, it is my sons and ministers who are too stubborn to bring up. My eldest brother has a heavy workload, but he always reminds me of it. It is my sons and ministers who are indulgent and lazy. Please punish me, Father!"
"If your father wants to punish you, then punish me. Yesterday, I had to go hunting in the mountains outside the city. With the token in my hand, I secretly left the city with my third brother. These eldest brothers didn't know about it. How can we let the eldest brother be punished for us!"
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded in a cold voice: "What are you robbing? How much credit is this? I tell you, no one can escape without you robbing. Tomorrow the three of you will open a piece of land in the palace and plant vegetables after spring. Normally
How should the children of common people live, how should you live!"
"Those who occupy high positions should not be arrogant, and those who live in vain should not be extravagant. Those who are arrogant will not have good words and will not hear their mistakes. If they are extravagant, they will not establish good ways and will not care about their actions. Those who are like this will not survive."
"From now on, except for the crown prince, all princes are not allowed to ride horses or sedans when walking around the city. They wear straw sandals when going out of the city for long distances. They ride horses and walk half way. In those days, we relied on a pair of straw sandals to beg for alms. You all feel the same."
The two brothers Zhu Biao and Tong naturally had no objections and immediately kowtowed and agreed. Although there were too many restrictions, the two brothers, who were both prepared to be beaten severely, were saved from the desperate situation. Let alone farming and walking, they carried the
The horse can walk.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and asked: "Whose children are the second sons playing with?"
Zhu Biao didn't know about this. He had just returned from Shaanxi and Gansu not long ago. He had so many things to do that he couldn't care about such a trivial matter.
The third and fourth children knew it, but after looking at each other, they hesitated. After all, teenagers are more loyal and responsible. They don't want to be known as betraying their friends, so they tell their father that they know everything with their butts.
, those few lives may be gone.
Zhu Yuanzhang despises his sons like this the most. If you want to say something, just say it happily. If you don't say it, just hand over the stick. We can consider you to have backbone. Bang bangchichi is nothing. The anger that had subsided is about to rise again.
The mothers and concubines of the two princes wanted to stand up and speak for their sons. Now they just wanted to calm down the emperor's anger quickly, and then lead their sons back to the palace to take a breath, otherwise their hearts would really be unable to bear it.
It’s just that they didn’t have the courage, and they knew that if they said it, they would anger the emperor even more. Empress Ma sighed and suggested: “Say it, tell it so that your father can order them to be disciplined at home, otherwise all good boys will become
What's going on?"
After hearing Empress Ma's advice, Zhu Tie immediately spoke: "Xie Quanan, Liu Wanchang, Zhou Shaona, Peng Yunye..."
Zhu Biao, who was kneeling at the front, rolled his eyes and guessed the approximate family name based on the last names. These names were all unfamiliar to him. They were probably not the legitimate sons of the family, but probably the second sons or concubines. Otherwise, he would not dare to talk to the prince like this.
near.
Zhu Xi's voice hesitated again, Zhu Biao frowned, and then he realized that this boy didn't tell the Li family members. After all, they were blood relatives of his mother's clan, and he knew how to protect them, but he was just a little stupid.
.
How could Lao Zhu not guess that people from the Li family would approach the two princes, which would be the basis for their family's future prosperity and wealth? This kid Zhu Xi is like this, he is very smart and difficult to make decisions. He is usually very smart but hesitates when things happen.
.
Maybe it's because he's still young, but his character does have some flaws, making it difficult for him to be in a position of superiority. People in this position are not afraid of being irresponsible because they are surrounded by advisers who make suggestions, but they are afraid of not being decisive enough and being indecisive and in a dilemma.
They are fierce and timid, always scheming, cherish their own lives when doing big things, and forget their lives when they see small gains. Just like Yuan Shao, the second and third sons also have these character traits. It can only be said that they are worthy of being brothers. This is why Zhu Biao
The reason why I have always been spoiled by them is because they are not people who achieve great things.
Zhu Di, who was kneeling beside him, saw his father's expression becoming stern again and hurriedly said: "There are also three Li Peifeng, Li Junqin and Li Jun. These people always play with us."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xi's expression changed, and Concubine Li on the other side also trembled. These three were all her brothers' legitimate sons. If she was severely punished by the Holy Emperor, she would still have the face to meet her mother's family.
Although everyone knows that these things will be revealed sooner or later, even if the emperor does not say anything, there is nothing he can't find out, but people have the mentality of taking chances and blaming others.
Zhu Di felt the eyes of mother and son, but his expression did not change at all. He knew that if the third child continued to hesitate like this, his father would definitely be severely punished if he was angry, and he would definitely not be able to escape at that time.
Compared with the punishment of the father, the temporary complaints of the third son and Concubine Li are nothing. He is also a majestic king. Who can do anything to him except the father, the queen, the queen and the eldest brother?
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened as expected, and he glared at Zhu Xi fiercely. It was possible that his sons' little thoughts could not be concealed from him. Those wily civil servants and generals in the same dynasty were still too young.
Zhu Tie's face turned pale. Only then did he realize that he had done something stupid again. He regretted it and wanted to hit his head against the wall. Everything happened so suddenly today, and the ups and downs made him mentally retarded. Damn it!
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention to his prince. The father and son looked at each other, and Zhu Biao said: "We are all still young. Some of them have been to Fengyang with their sons, especially Li Peifeng. I remember that he is also steady and practical in his work. My sons
I also specially praised him. He was a playful and playful young man, but he never broke the law. I just ordered him to be disciplined at home. Please don’t take heavy responsibility."
Zhu Di lowered his head and said nothing. Concubine Li cast grateful eyes on the prince. Zhu Di sighed silently in his heart. The eldest brother seemed to never make mistakes...
Empress Ma also said: "Tomorrow I will call the wives of those families to talk about it. It would be good if the family is strict. After all, they are playing with our children, so it is better not to punish them too harshly."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and turned away. Everyone hurriedly bowed down and no one dared to say anything. After he walked far away, they stood up one after another. However, the three brothers Zhu Biao did not stand up.
Queen Ma looked up at the clock and said to them: "Kneel down for two hours before you can go back. I'll see if you dare to go back later."
"My sons and ministers will obey my mother's will."
The three brothers responded respectfully, knowing that this was Empress Ma trying to excuse them. The Emperor didn't say anything when he left, so they could kneel down until tomorrow morning and don't think about it, otherwise it would be a crime of disrespect.
Empress Ma gave the order, and they had to endure it for a while. After all, the only people in the harem who could issue orders were this couple. Even if the others wanted them to get up, they had to kneel down and beg the emperor for mercy.
Then Empress Ma led people to send Zhu Ping back. She didn't know if this guy was pretending to be unconscious. He should have woken up, but he didn't start.
Soon there were only the three princes' respective maids and eunuchs around. They all looked at their highness eagerly, wondering if they were qualified to kneel on their behalf, and they didn't even dare to step forward.
Only Liu Jin was brave enough to kneel down behind the three princes. He moved his knees closer to Zhu Biao and said, "Sir, please put a cushion under your knees. How can you endure kneeling for two hours?"
Zhu Biao's knees naturally hurt, and he still had two hours to go, so he didn't refuse. Liu Jin quickly padded the kerchief, which was a thick pile. When Queen Ma gave the order, he put the maids around him
The eunuch's kerchief is coming.
At this time, the other two personal eunuchs also knelt down, but they were not as clever or as handsome as Liu Jin, so they only had a few thin handkerchiefs in their hands, which were basically useless.
Zhu Biao glanced back, then took out two stacks from under his knees and threw them over. Liu Jin looked distressed. Nothing was more important to him than the body of His Highness.
