The next day, in the Imperial Palace's Fengtian Hall.
"What is it? You want to follow the army to the north?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his fifth brother who had just made a great contribution in shock.
However, he immediately rejected her decisively just like Noble Consort Sun did yesterday.
"No! I won't allow it!"
What kind of joke was this? How old was his fifth brother? He was only twelve years old. Wasn't it a joke to ask him to follow the army to the northern expedition?
Did he really think that war was child's play?
Zhu Hongdao was not surprised by the old man's refusal.
Even the parents of ordinary families would reject their children when they heard that their children were going to do something dangerous.
Moreover, the old man was an emperor who loved his children very much. How could he let his son face danger?
Zhu Rong said calmly,"
"But Imperial Father just said that he wanted this son to mention some reward. The reward this son wants is to follow the army to the northern expedition. Could Imperial Father be going back on his word? You're not joking, Imperial Father!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened."
"Hey? He didn't learn anything else, but he learned Fourth Brother's trick? You know how to use words to diss your father, right?”
"Believe it or not, I'll slap you!"
"In short, no means no. There's no monarch or minister here now, only father and son.”
There was no one else in the hall except for Zhu Rong and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke without any scruples.
Looking at the shameless Emperor, Zhu Xiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He could only cup his hands and say,"
"Father, don't be in a hurry to refuse. How about you listen to your son first before making a decision?”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted,
"Even if you want to break the heavens, we won't agree.”
"However, since you want to say it, let's listen and see what you can say.”
"Don't tell me that you're coveting the three daughters of the Xu family. If you dare to use this excuse to fool me, I'll make your ass explode!”
After all, he was his son. Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to know what this child was thinking. He was so old, yet he was already clamoring to follow the army to the Northern Expedition.
If it was really because of the three daughters of the Xu family, he was afraid that he would really teach this brat a lesson.
Zhu Rong's small face was somewhat dark. What was going on? Why did Imperial Mother and Imperial Father all feel that they were thinking about Xu Da's three daughters?
What kind of joke was this? How old was Xu Miaoyun, the eldest daughter of Xu Da's family? She seemed to be one year younger than him, right?
Have the two remaining girls of the Xu family weaned?
They were all little girls, how could he still remember them?
He was not a pedophile, so he was really speechless.
Although he was unhappy, he still had to explain the reason to the old man.
Zhu Xiong did not hesitate and immediately used the reason he used to convince his mother yesterday.
In short, I want to study and improve. Old man, you can't stop your son from improving, right?
When Zhu Rong finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong seriously.
"Are you serious?"
Zhu Rong nodded lightly.
"Your son really thought it through before making this decision.”
"Imperial Father, please grant my wish!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't agree immediately. He waved his hand and said,"
"Let me think about it first. You can leave first.”
Zhu Rong also knew that he couldn't push this matter too far. He nodded lightly and was about to leave.
At this moment, Crown Prince Zhu Biao rushed into the hall.
"Imperial Father, bad news. Fourth Brother was beaten up in the military camp.”
Zhu Rong and Zhu Yuanzhang were stunned.
"What is it? Fourth Bro was beaten up? Who dares to hit my son?"
"Fourth Brother was beaten up? How could that be? Didn't Yang explain the situation to Uncle Xu?”
Zhu Rong was also shocked.
Zhu Biao didn't dare to hide it and quickly reported,
"Reporting to Imperial Father, Fourth Brother used the identity of a thousand households to join the military camp and was found out by Uncle Xu. Uncle Xu beat Fourth Brother forty times with military law and he is still lying in the military camp.”
After hearing this, Zhu Rong facepalmed.
Well, his future father-in-law was not polite at all. He really beat Fourth Brother up and even gave him forty military lashes.
This military staff was not a palace board. It was really not a joke.
If something really happened, it would be a big problem.
He even regretted helping Fourth Brother escape home.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this news, he exploded.
He grabbed something and threw it out.
"Imperial Father, please calm down!"
"Imperial Father, please calm down!"
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi quickly comforted him.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was burning with anger, did not listen to him at all.
"You've caused such a big trouble, and you think forty strokes is enough?”
"I'm going to kill that little bastard with my own hands!”
As he spoke, he grabbed a treasured sword from within the hall and walked out angrily.
Zhu Bi and Zhu Biao quickly stepped forward to stop Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Imperial Father, please calm down! Imperial Father, please calm down!”
"That's right. Imperial Father, don't be rash. Calm down first!”
Zhu Yuanzhang did not care and shouted,
"Bring me there."
When Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiong saw the group, they quickly grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Let go, aiya, let go of me!”
No matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang shouted, the two brothers would not let go.
What a joke. Who knew what the old man would do when he was so angry?
At this moment, Empress Ma walked into the palace.
Seeing Empress Ma, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi looked like they had seen their savior.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Empress Ma nodded slightly and stepped forward to snatch the sword from Zhu Yuanzhang's hand."
"Boss, keep your sword!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhu Biao quickly took the sword and hung it up again.
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked,"
"Zhu Zhongba? What are you doing? They want to rebel."
Seeing Empress Ma's arrival, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything. He just stood there sulking.
Empress Ma walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and said,"
"Come, come, come. Sit down.”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and sat down on a chair silently.
Empress Ma didn't like it and directly scolded,"
"No matter what, Fourth Brother is still your son. How can you shout and kill him at will?”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
"I don't have such a son. Ah, he's naughty and disappointing. He's also a son.”
Zhu Rong immediately blushed. Wasn't the old man roasting him on fire? He quickly waved his hand.
"Father, don't flatter me. I'm also mischievous and want to join the army. It's just that I don't have the courage of Fourth Brother.”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Rong, and Zhu Rong immediately fell silent.
Empress Ma gave Zhu Rong a look of praise and then followed Zhu Yuanzhang's words,"
"Yes! Fourth is naughty and insensible."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, and he's not sensible. Giving birth to such a son is better than giving birth to a cow.”
Empress Ma smiled faintly."
"But who does this son take after? Hmm?"
"Who was the one who kept saying that Fourth Brother missed his childhood the most?”
"Have you forgotten that back then, when you brought Tang and them to secretly kill Mr. Liu's calf and eat it, your father-in-law shouted at you to kill it?”
When Empress Ma mentioned what Zhu Yuanzhang did when he was young, Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that his father was also so naughty when he was young.
Zhu Xiong was also amused, but he only dared to laugh in his heart and did not dare to make a sound.
Empress Ma saw Zhu Biao laughing and glaring at him fiercely. She reprimanded him directly,"
"What are you laughing at? And you, I told you to take care of Fourth, not to spoil him. Now that such a big thing has happened, I think the second person to deal with is you!”
Faced with Empress Ma's reprimand, Zhu Biao didn't dare to breathe loudly. He could only smile bitterly and say,"
"I know I was wrong, but that was forty strokes after all. How could Fourth Brother's body withstand it?”
Empress Ma glared at him.
"He deserved it! He had to bear the consequences of his own actions!”
"Even if he's a prince, he has to take responsibility for his actions!”
Empress Ma's statement immediately silenced the father and son in the hall.
Empress Ma was such a woman. When it came to matters, there was only right and wrong, not kinship.
This was also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang and the other princes respected her.
