Three or four young and strong eunuchs pressed Shuangxi on a long bench in the courtyard, picked up the board and started beating him. Some people pressed their hands, some pressed their feet, and some put things in his mouth to prevent him from making any sound. After four or five times,
Shuangxi's body twitched violently and he fainted.
In TV dramas, people who are hit with twenty sticks as if nothing has happened are lying. This kind of stick used in the palace to beat people really requires a lot of effort. Ten hits can kill someone alive.
Third Master, have you fainted? The bastard said in Zhu Yunxi’s ear.
Pour it to wake you up, and then send it to your mother and concubine, saying that this slave has no eyes and is annoying! Zhu Yunxi squinted his eyes and said.
At this time, his words were full of hatred. It turned out that he had no intention of quarreling with Lu's mother and son. Zhu Yunqi had completely lost hope in the matter of the throne. It was not Zhu Yunqi's style to bully unpromising people.
But Mrs. Lu challenged his bottom line again and again, and this time he actually sent slaves to where he lived. Zhu Yunxi didn't believe it. She didn't know that she was living in a side hall of the emperor's palace every day. She knew that she would continue to send slaves, it was safe.
What heart.
Moreover, the ones sent were not just ordinary slaves, but two nuns who taught the princess how to behave, and a eunuch who took care of things. (Nuns did not exist in the Qing Dynasty, they were called that in the Yuan Dynasty)
If this wasn't the East Palace, if it wasn't for the fact that Ms. Lu was the step-concubine of the late crown prince and the titular owner of the East Palace, it would be bad for her reputation to stand up to her...
Originally, I wanted you mother and son to be wealthy and idle people, but now it seems, hum! You are still unwilling to give up and restless.
Zhu Yunxi's eyelids twitched twice. He is a person who doesn't get angry easily, but if he does get angry, the source of his anger must not be easily thought of.
Seeing several young eunuchs carrying the unconscious Shuangxi out, Zhu Yunxi sneered twice, thinking that his stepmother's face would look very interesting after a while.
Then he turned around and entered the main room. In the side hall, two dignified and well-dressed women in their early thirties were saluting him respectfully.
Servants and maids, please see His Highness the King of Wu!
No gray hair is allowed in the palace, and a woman in her early thirties is considered an old woman in the deep palace. These two women were wearing simple blue palace skirts, without too many patterns, and they did not wear any jewelry. They looked at Binbin.
He's polite and can't be faulted.
Did the concubine send you here? Zhu Yunxi maintained his identity and could not argue with women, so he said softly at the door.
Returning to Your Highness, it was the Crown Princess who sent the servant here. The more mellow of the two women said, "The Princess said that the princesses have reached the age to learn the rules!"
Zhu Yunxi's eyes drifted over, and the two poor little ones in the room, Ning'er and Xiu'er, were sitting neatly and looking at him eagerly.
There was nothing he could do about it. In these days, whether a princess or a girl from an ordinary family, they had to follow the rules. Every word, every action, every frown, every smile was a rule. If you were not careful, it would be a disgrace to the family.
In the feudal era, women had no human rights. In the TV series, Princess Gege runs around the streets and talks to men casually, all of which are lies.
They are still young, you have to be patient! Zhu Yunxi, look at the two nuns, don't let them suffer in the name of learning the rules. If I find out, I can't spare you!
How dare you slaves? The two nuns, Fu, stayed there for a long time, but they still didn't move. (Fu'an, the woman salutes.)
Are you going to stay here at night? Zhu Yunxi suddenly thought of a question.
The thinner one among the nuns said, "The Crown Princess has said that from now on the slaves will be the slaves of His Highness King Wu..."
I know! Zhu Yunxi turned around and walked out.
The moment he turned around, Zhu Yunxi's face looked a little gloomy.
Nominally, Mrs. Lu is his mother-in-law. This name has great significance in this era, which means that she can eat Zhu Yunxi to death in some aspects.
The mother cared for her son and sent eunuchs and nuns to her. If none of her sons were kept and all were sent back to slap the mother and concubine in the face, that would be unfilial.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi thought of something in his mind.
If I ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, wouldn't I want to honor Lu as the Queen Mother?
When he thought of this, he felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
Need to think of a way? Zhu Yunxi thought as he walked, say a few words in front of Zhu Yuanzhang? Apply eye drops?
No, no! Then he immediately rejected the idea in his heart. Zhu Yuanzhang also hated this daughter-in-law in his heart, but because she was the wife of the late prince and the mother of several young grandsons, he kept her.
As a grown man, I cannot behave too disrespectfully in front of Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Yunxi was right. A man's tolerance is not only a kind of heart, but also a kind of courage.
Thought and skill are indispensable, but if you keep calculating like this all your life, you will not achieve anything. Besides, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
An emperor should know what can be tolerated and what cannot be tolerated.
Ordinary people also need to pay attention to the prosperity of their family. If there are rumors that the crown prince and his stepmother are at odds, she can plot against you, but you must be filial. If word spreads outside that mother and son are incompatible, it will really ruin your reputation for thousands of years.
Even if he wants to kill her in the future, he will have to do it without anyone noticing. After her death, she will have to wear mourning clothes and cry for several days.
Man, it's hard.
Reputation, face.
~~~
At this moment, in the side hall of Fengtian Hall, a middle-aged man whose face could not be clearly seen was kneeling respectfully at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet.
According to His Majesty's decree, the houses of Jiangxiahou, Dingyuanhou, Dongpinghou, Song Guogong, Puninghou and others have been sent to their homes.
A series of names and titles came from the mouth of the kneeling middle-aged man. He said that they were all representatives of the Huaixi martial arts group that founded the Ming Dynasty. Each of them had great military exploits and made great achievements.
Moreover, these people were almost all on the same side and had received the favor of the late prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, did not have the kindness on his face at this moment when he was in front of Zhu Yunxi, but looked like a tiger that was taking a nap with squinted eyes and was about to wake up.
Where is the Lan Yu family? The Yingguo family? And the Chang family? Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked softly.
The middle-aged official said without hesitation, yes.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, hooked his hands, and the man quickly moved forward on his knees.
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned down on the dragon chair, almost touching his ear. Starting from tomorrow, all these people's affairs must be reported! No matter how big or small!
I understand!
Go ahead! After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he waved his hand.
The official kowtowed three times, stood up, and slowly backed away.
Zhu Yuanzhang was once again left alone in the side hall. He picked up a memorial and looked at it, then threw it aside.
Then he looked at the warm sunshine outside the window with his deep eyes, his expression thoughtful.
We want to see if you people are really loyal or just trying to cling!
As an emperor with a rough background, he rose up in troubled times and saw too many intrigues and intrigues. Zhu Yuanzhang was a particularly insecure person. So after becoming the emperor, his eyes and ears were all over the world.
Today he called in the secret guards who were more useful than the Jin Yiwei, just to see if these nobles of the Huaixi martial arts group would be loyal to his grandson.
If they are really bent on putting Zhu Yunxi in power, even if they are speculative, it is nothing.
But if they do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, then Zhu Yuanzhang will kill people.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, walked to the desk used by Zhu Yunxi, smiled slightly and said, Silly grandson, grandpa will help you see who can use it and who can't!

Don't look at the grandma and think that she is from the Qing Dynasty.
Many things in the Qing Palace were born out of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty also had more or less the shadow of the Yuan Dynasty.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the Customs and established the People's Republic of China in Beijing, the rules in the palace were roughly the same as those in the Ming Dynasty. When they were outside the Customs, the Queen of the Qing Dynasty was still sleeping on the fire kang, right, and was still hanging in the cradle, right.
Etiquette is something that is integrated with each other.
