Zhu Ping coughed violently and choked with tears, "Li Qing, you...ahem, are you tired of living?"
"I don't want to hit you, but you are disobedient."
Li Qing spread his hands and said, "I don't care about that, you have to go back to me anyway."
"You bastard!"
Zhu Ming was so angry that he vomited blood and said, "Someone, bring him to me."
"Who dares?" Li Qing's face darkened, "The Emperor has decreed that the King of Qin will come to the capital immediately to see you. If anyone dares to stop you, I will chop off his head!"
A group of people looked at each other, who wanted to take the lead?
"I'll take the responsibility if something happens." Zhu Ping shouted, "Give him to me..."
"Clang clang clang...!"
Li Qing raised his hand and knocked on his head, like a torrential downpour, which made stars appear in his eyes and tears flowed from his eyes.
It hurt so much that Zhu Xi felt that it was not his fingers that hit his head, but an iron rod.
The dignified vassal king, the second son of Emperor Hongwu, when had he ever suffered such a loss? He was beaten by Lao Zhu and had nothing to say, but he was beaten by a small Jinyi town governor. How could he endure it?
"Li Qing, even the King of Heaven can't keep you, I said so!"
Zhu Feng was furious and turned around and cursed: "If you don't step forward to help, you will stop doing this in the future."
"Your Majesty, this lord has an order from the Emperor!"
"It's fake." Zhu Xi promised, "If something happens, I'll take care of it. You can just take action."
Li Qing was infuriated by this guy, and he just received a heavy punch.
"Bang——!"
"It's fake, right?"
Zhu Ping staggered back with a look of disbelief on his face, even forgetting the pain.
"Bang——!"
"You're carrying it, right?"
"Bang——!"
"You can do it, right?"
…
Li Qing said something and punched Zhu Xi, who made Zhu Xi run away with his head in his arms. The guards were shocked, and no one dared to stop him.
He was beaten so hard that Zhu Xi couldn't even say a word.
"stand up."
Li Qing picked him up, but he quickly fell down again.
Damn it, you won’t be beaten to death, right?
Li Qing quickly pressed Zhu Xi's wrist, feeling the steady pulse, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not wake up Zhu Xi, but directly put him on the horse's back and said to everyone, "The emperor only asked King Qin to return to the palace to see you. It is none of your business. You can go back!"
Seeing that the prince had been beaten to the ground, a group of people dared not say anything. They hurriedly bowed, reorganized the ceremony, and pulled the empty carriage back to the feudal territory.
Anyway, it was the emperor who summoned the princes back to the palace, so they could interact with the princess when they returned.
Li Qing got on his horse and hurried to the palace.
…
Towards evening, Li Qing finally returned to the capital.
The palace gate was locked soon, so he did not dare to hesitate and rode his horse directly to the palace gate.
"Your Highness, wake up, you're home."
Zhu Fang opened his eyes in confusion, and when he saw the vermilion palace gate, his face turned green. He didn't even care about Li Qing, got on his horse and ran away.
"Bring it to you."
With quick eyes and quick hands, Li Qing grabbed his belt and lifted it off.
Then, he leaned into his ear with a sinister tone, "Your Highness, the Emperor said that if you don't return to the palace, he will skin you."
Zhu Xiang's body trembled and his lips trembled.
As we all know, peeling was never an adjective for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Of course, he would not skin his son, but Zhu Xi, who had a guilty conscience, was so frightened that he heard, 'The emperor asked you to return to the palace, and he will skin you'.
Suddenly he rolled his eyes and was frightened.
"Hello? Your Highness the King of Qin?"
Li Qing pushed him a few times and saw that he was really dizzy, so he had to carry him on his back.
"Please help me take a look at the horse." Li Qing flashed his tooth tag and said, "The Emperor has summoned King Qin for something urgent. Please let him go as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, sir, please."
The guards guarding the palace gate were the Jin Yiwei, who belonged to the same department as Li Qing. How could he not know that Li Qing, who was unparalleled in the limelight, only glanced at the tooth plaque and opened the palace gate directly.
Li Qing carried more than one hundred kilograms on his back and walked as fast as flying.
…
Royal study room.
As soon as Zhu Ping was put down, Lao Zhu took off his shoes and greeted him in the face.
Soon, Zhu Xi was woken up abruptly.
"I'm sorry for you..." Zhu Xi opened his mouth and cursed. When he saw that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who slapped him, he quickly stopped and begged for mercy: "Father, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again."
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and just kept slapping him.
Zhu Xiang's face, which was not small in the first place, swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth and he could not open his eyes.
"Father, please rest." Zhu Biao's heart was beating wildly. If he continued to beat like this, he would really beat him to death.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a few breaths and handed the shoe sole to Zhu Biao, "Take it for a while."
"Ah? This..." Zhu Biao said with a bitter smile, "Father, if we keep fighting, my brother, if he does something bad..."
"It would be better if I died."
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his head and face again and again until Zhu Ping's eyes were blurred and then he stopped.
"Biao'er, go and call those little brats."
"Yes, I will go right away."
Zhu Biao bowed hastily and walked out of the imperial study.
Li Qing knew that Lao Zhu wanted to set an example, and he did not want to get involved in the royal affairs, so he handed over his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, the palace door is about to be locked, so I will go back first."
"Don't go back today." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and stood on tiptoe to put on his shoes. He couldn't put them on after a while, and he was a little angry.
"You don't have any eyesight at all. Don't you know how to help us?"
"..." Li Qing stepped forward to support him.
Zhu Yuanzhang stumbled and put on his shoes, only to find that the shoes were torn. He couldn't help but feel pain on his face, "These are the shoes our sister made for us!"
With that said, he stepped forward and kicked Zhu Ping twice.
Zhu Xi was already in a dazed state, his head looked like a pig's head, and he lay paralyzed on the ground with his eyes blank.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Li Qing helped Lao Zhu sit down and advised, "Let's take a break before fighting again!"
It wasn't that he felt sorry for Zhu Xi. This kind of person deserved to be beaten to death. What he was worried about was Lao Zhu's body and bones.
Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer young. During this period, his wife died of illness, the court was corrupted, and now his own son committed evil again, which had a great psychological impact on him.
"We're fine." Zhu Yuanzhang took a few breaths, and his mood gradually stabilized.
Two quarters of an hour later, all the dragon's sons, dragons and grandsons arrived.
Zhu Zi glanced at Zhu Ping on the ground and said suspiciously, "Who is this?
Why are you wearing second brother’s clothes?”
"...Eighth brother, this is your second brother." Zhu Biao said speechlessly.
"Ah?" Zhu Zi was shocked, and quickly picked up Zhu Ming, with brotherly love overflowing, and yelled: "Who is it?
Who injured the second brother?"
"It's us!"
"Father...Father?" Zhu Zi was stunned.
The other princes who wanted to imitate Zhu Zi immediately gave up the drama of brotherly love.
Zhu Zi immediately put Zhu Ping back on the floor and stood aside, looking like he and I were not familiar with each other, completely losing the deep brotherly love he had just felt.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored this episode and stood up and said: "The King of Qin, Zhu Xi, is building a lot of construction projects in the vassal territory, plundering gold and silver, robbing people's daughters, and is full of evil. What do you think we should do?"
All the princes lowered their eyes and said nothing.
They will also become vassals in the future. Who doesn't want to be a local emperor? If you advocate strict measures, you will dig a hole for yourself.
Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry when he saw that no one was talking. If he couldn't understand the thoughts of these little guys, then he wouldn't need to be the emperor.
He sneered and said: "You will become a vassal in the future, you also want to imitate him, right?"
"My son (grandson) doesn't dare!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled playfully and glanced at Zhu Yunxi, who was staring at his second uncle with a curious expression, "Yunxi, tell me, how should you deal with the crime your second uncle committed?"
"Ah? I..."
Zhu Yunhe shrank and looked at Zhu Biao timidly.
"Grandpa Huang asks you something, answer him honestly." Zhu Biao said warmly.
"Yes." Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and said, "He should be punished."
"How to punish?"
Zhu Yunxi was like a scumbag who met his class teacher for a test. His little face was full of panic and his head was buried deeper. After a while, he said carefully:
"A fine of salary, a fine of not being allowed to go out, a fine, a fine..."
"Okay, okay, if you say you can't come, don't insist on it." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head in a funny way, "Yunwen, what do you think the punishment should be?"
"Replying to the emperor's words, my grandson thought..." Zhu Yunwen looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and said seriously: "Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crimes as the common people!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, including Zhu Biao.
"Zhu Yunwen!"
Zhu Biao was a little shocked and angry. He did not expect that his son with a gentle personality would say such harsh words.
