At the mention of the fourth son, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.
"This little rascal really went to the military camp.”
"Motherf * cker, you always find trouble for me every day.”
The young eunuch added.
"I heard that Prince Yan went to King Qin's Mansion and asked for a centurion's waist token before he joined the army.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more furious.
"Sure. Fourth Bro, this little rascal, had really grown up. You've even learned how to fake it."
"This time, old brat Xu Da did the right thing. 40 lashes is already considered cheap for him."
"I'll go and kill this brat now.”
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang began to pull out his sword. His strength seemed to be about to kill Zhu Di.
Empress Ma went forward to stop him.
"Zhu Zhongba, Zhu Zhongba, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was arrogant to everyone, he was the emperor. Who was he afraid of?
When he was young, no one could stop his temper.
Only, he was most afraid of his first wife Ma.
Empress Ma snatched the sword from his hand and handed it to Zhu Xiong.
"Fifth brother, put away your sword."
Zhu Xiong took the sword and placed it back in its original position.
Zhu Yuanzhang's sword was taken away, but he was still angry.
"Tell me, with Fourth Brother's temper, who do you think he imitated? I get angry just looking at him."
Empress Ma was also in a bad mood and immediately scolded him.
"Imitate who? Chongba, don't you know what's going on?”
"When you were young, you were no less worried than him.”
"In terms of temperament, who can compare to you? When you heard that your son was beaten up, you added fuel to the fire.”
"How can there be a father like you in this world?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously a little guilty. He raised his hand and tried his best to argue.
"No matter how bad-tempered I am, I'm not as muddle-headed as this brat.”
Empress Ma didn't want to expose him, but Zhu Yuanzhang had forced her.
"When you secretly killed Mr. Liu's calf to eat meat, did your father-in-law shout at you to kill it?”
Old Zhu choked on his words.
There was indeed such a thing.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhu Di's stubborn temper and mischievous personality really took after her.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, but he couldn't tell anything.
In any case, Zhu Yuanzhang could not get angry with Empress Ma.
Empress Ma was just stating the facts.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't care about anything when his temper flared up.
After Empress Ma left, Zhu Yuanzhang was restless.
He was angry because of his fourth brother's failure.
The northern expedition was imminent, but he was always causing trouble for him.
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little heartache.
In the end, the 40 military sticks that hit Zhu Di's butt actually hit Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
He was Zhu Yuanzhang's son, so he could beat him up.
Although he said that Xu Da, that old fellow, fought well, in reality, his heart ached terribly.
"Fifth Brother, come with us to the Northern Suburbs Military Camp.”
……
20 minutes later, Zhu Yuanzhang brought Zhu Rong to Xu Da's camp.
As the carriage arrived, Xu Da and the soldiers hurried over to receive it.
"Welcome, Your Majesty. Long live our Emperor."
Under Xu Da's lead, the soldiers knelt on the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
"Forget it. Which military camp is Fourth Brother in?"
Xu Da hurriedly led the way.
"Your Majesty, this way please."
Xu Da led the way, leading Zhu Yuanzhang and the others to a small camp in the north.
She opened the curtain and saw Zhu Di lying on the military bed with his back facing the door.
He was still wearing a piece of clothing.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly walked up and lifted Zhu Di's clothes.
Zhu Di's pampered butt was covered in wounds and swollen.
The beating was really not light.
This was the first time Zhu Xiong had seen his fourth brother suffer a loss.
As a prince, no matter how infuriating he was, when Zhu Yuanzhang said that he wanted to beat him up, which time was it not a big deal?
Looking at the exposed flesh, it was a little scary.
However…
After Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he felt much more at ease.
"Fortunately, it's only a superficial wound. In the end, your Uncle Xu still showed mercy. Otherwise, your body would have been crippled long ago.”
The fourth brother, Zhu Di, was beaten. Pain was one thing, but he was mainly worried about whether he could join the army.
"Greetings, Father."
Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and resentful. After confirming that Zhu Di was fine, his anger rose again.
"You brat, you ran to the military camp and got beaten up. Do you feel good?”
"If you've thought it through, then go back with me. Stop embarrassing yourself here.”
Zhu Yuanzhang cursed again.
Fourth Brother's temper flared up again.
"Hmph, Father, if I don't go back, I will follow Uncle Xu to the Northern Expedition and join the army.”
Even after the fight, the fourth brother, Zhu Di, still did not relent.
Zhu Yuanzhang was at his wit's end.
Who asked him to give birth to a son with such a temper?
Forget it.
"Alright, I'll do it. I'll fulfill your wish and let you join the army.”
Zhu Di was ecstatic.
"Thank you, Imperial Father."
After settling Zhu Di's matter, Zhu Yuanzhang brought up Zhu Xi again.
"Tiande, there's something we need to discuss with you.”
"Erm, Old Fifth also wants to join the army."
What was that?
Xu Da's face darkened.
"Your Majesty, I was just joking that day. Did Your Highness take it seriously?”
Xu Da felt terrible.
When Zhu Yuanzhang said that he wanted to marry, Xu Da took the opportunity to propose to investigate Zhu Xi.
During the combat examination, Xu Da deliberately made things difficult and even threatened that if Prince Zhou wanted to marry his daughter, he could only do so by going to the northern battlefield and making contributions.
This kid actually took it seriously.
"Your Majesty, are you joking? Prince Zhou is only 12 years old. Even if I let him join the army, you won't be at ease, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Xu Da's shoulder.
"Haha, Tiande, are you surprised? Our fifth brother actually wants to join the army and go to the battlefield. Haha, I'm proud from the bottom of my heart.”
"As the saying goes, like father, like son. This fifth brother has the same demeanor as me back then.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's praise of Zhu Di stunned Zhu Di.
What was going on?
When he joined the army, he was scolded by his father and beaten up by Uncle Xu.
Fifth brother wanted to join the army, but Imperial Father had made it like this.
Something was wrong.
This was too wrong.
However, he did not notice that Xu Da's eyes were about to pop out.
"Brother, you're too biased. You were furious when the Prince of Yan joined the army. Why are you so happy that it's Prince Zhou?”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
"Haha, can these two people be mentioned in the same breath? Fourth Brother was naughty and always did things that were out of line.”
"Old Fifth doesn't want to improve. It's not easy for him to join the army. How can we not be happy?”
Xu Da's face turned uglier and uglier.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang approved of Prince Zhou joining the army.
"So, what does Your Majesty mean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
"I can't hide anything from you, Tiande. Then I'll leave these two sons to you, Tiande. You can take care of the two of them for me.”
This sentence directly made Xu Da break down.
Why did he feel like he had shot himself in the foot?
It was originally a joke, but he didn't expect Prince Zhou to take it seriously and join the army.
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, was a brainless youth. He did not care about power.
However, Prince Zhou was different.
The last time, he pulled Lan Yu and the Imperial Academy's Grand Scholar Song Lian along, originally wanting to make this kid make a fool of himself.
However, Prince Zhou was like a dark horse. Not only did he beat the longevity increase, but he also wrote a good poem.
In short, this kid was always unexpected.
Xu Da was really afraid of being slapped in the face again.
If the prophecy was true, he would not be able to protect his three daughters.
Seeing that Xu Da was in a daze, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand in front of his face.
"Tiande, Tiande. Haha, I guess you didn't expect our fifth brother to join the army either.”
"Alright, it's settled then."
Only then did Xu Da come back to his senses. Instantly, he had a plan in his heart.
"Since His Majesty has already decided to let His Highness the King of Yan and His Highness the King of Zhou join the army, then this old minister has nothing to say.”
"However, I have a condition…"
I got up at 5:00 am to come up with this chapter and make up for yesterday's chapter.
She was probably going to be a little late today. She was not feeling well, so she had to go to the hospital today. By a conservative estimate, today's first update would be around 12 o'clock.
