Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find a way to deal with the sixth brother, Zhu Zhen, so he directed his anger at the fourth brother, Zhu Di, who had just entered.
I can't find any fault with Sixth Brother's twisted logic, but Fourth Brother sneaked out of the main hall and skipped class. This kind of behavior can't be quibbled!
Then he would teach this naughty son a lesson.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything and picked up the golden hammer beside him.
This big golden hammer was really heavy. If it hit, it would probably kill someone.
Old Zhu naturally wouldn't kill his son, so he threw the big golden hammer on the ground.
Clang!
All the princes trembled in fear.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up Mr. Li's ruler again.
He didn't expect that the ferule was made of hard wood. Old Zhu tried to hit his leg, and it made a crisp sound. It was also quite painful.
No wonder the second brother, Zhu Xi, was beaten up by Mr. Li just now.
Although the fourth son, Zhu Di, was mischievous, he was the most powerful among Zhu Yuanzhang's many princes.
Usually, he was always number one in martial arts practice or hiking outside the city.
Of course, this number one was only the number one on the surface.
The Sixth Prince, Zhu Zhen, who had always kept a low profile and deliberately sought stability, had never competed with him. Otherwise, the number one martial artist would not be the Fourth Prince, Zhu Di.
Zhu Yuanzhang doted on his fourth son because of his powerful martial arts skills.
It was often said that Fourth Brother was the most like him when he was young.
The fourth son, Zhu Di, was known for his martial arts, while the sixth son, Zhu Zhen, was known for his literary arts.
Of course, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, these two princes, who were civil and martial, should be comparable to Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't bring himself to take this ferule.
After thinking for a moment, he threw the ferule away.
However, such an unruly kid had to be taught a good lesson no matter what.
"Fourth Bro, where did you go?"
The Fourth Prince Zhu Di had been rebellious since he was young, and he was also proud of being favored. He straightened his neck and said," Father, did I go to memorize?”
"You went to memorize?"
"Alright, Fourth Brother, you dare to lie to your father?”
"Did you recite it outside the main hall?”
Zhu Di was still very stubborn and replied,"Reporting to Imperial Father, Teacher said that he wanted to memorize, but he didn't say that he had to memorize it in the main hall.”
This kid still dared to talk back, but this was also a reason.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed in anger.
He bent over and stared at Zhu Di.
"You went to memorize, right?"
"Alright, come, recite it for us!”
As he spoke, he walked to the podium and sat down.
I don't believe that Sixth Brother is a bookworm who can recite books while hugging a book.
Old Fourth, you snuck out to play, but you still managed to recite it?
"Let me tell you, it's fine if you memorize it well, but if you can't, watch how I deal with you!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a fit of anger, but he did not know that he had fallen into the scheme of the fourth prince, Zhu Di.
With Zhu Di's intelligence, he had already memorized the Analects of Confucius thoroughly.
Zhu Di had a well-thought-out plan as he recited,
" Confucius said: To govern with virtue is like Beichen…"
"The Analects of Confucius for Government No. 2" can recite a word.
Mr. Li nodded repeatedly.
This time, it was out of Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations again.
"Not bad, Fourth Brother. Your little brain is still…"
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly reacted.
Looking around, the other princes were all secretly laughing.
"Hey, little bastard, you dare to scheme against your father?”
Zhu Yuanzhang pulled a long face and prepared to give Zhu Di a few slaps.
"Men!"
Mr. Li quickly knelt down and said,""Your Majesty, you are not joking!"
"Imperial Father, don't joke!" Zhu Biao said.”
"Imperial Father, you're not joking!" the princes said.”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about that much. Sixth Brother didn't hit him just now. If he didn't hit Fourth Brother now, he wouldn't be happy.
"What do you mean by 'a monarch doesn't joke around?' I'm not the monarch today. I'm your father.”
"It's the father's fault if the son doesn't teach him. It's only right and proper for a father to hit his son!”
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang walked down from the podium.
He took off his shoes and pressed down on Zhu Di to serve him.
Zhu Di didn't expect the old man to be so angry. He was beaten up until he cried out.
The other princes were trembling in fear and did not dare to plead for mercy.
Zhu Zhen felt lucky!
Fourth Brother, ah, Fourth Brother, you're too unstable.
After beating up Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang finally calmed down.
"Boss, let's go."
Zhu Yuanzhang put on his shoes again and brought Prince Zhu Biao out of the main hall.
......
Zhu Biao was made the Crown Prince early on, and Zhu Yuanzhang taught him how to handle government affairs.
He would also ask for Zhu Biao's opinion on all major military matters.
He returned to the royal study.
As he walked into the room, Zhu Yuanzhang asked,"
"Boss, do you know why we brought you to the main hall?”
Recently, Zhu Yuanzhang had been having a headache over the candidate for the Peking University General.
How could he have the mood to care about the princes 'studies?
Zhu Biaocong thought for a moment and voiced his doubts.
"Recently, Imperial Father has been hesitating over the candidates for the General of Peking University. How could he have the mood to watch his younger brothers study?”
"Could it have something to do with the Northern Expedition?”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head in gratification and said with a smile,"Boss, you guessed right."
"Think about it. The candidate for the Northern Conquest General is naturally your Uncle Xu.”
"However, he is already the Duke of Wei. The next step is to be conferred the title of King.”
"Since we can't seal him, we can only give him a son. This was also your mother's idea.”
"As long as we can wipe out the remnants of Northern Yuan, a son is nothing.”
"Dad, you mean you want to marry Uncle Xu's family?" Zhu Biao said.”
"That's why father brought his son to the main hall to see which prince is suitable?”
Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile when he thought of his younger brothers 'mischievousness.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about how he had just been schemed against by his fourth brother, Zhu Di, and gritted his teeth in hatred." Fourth Brother, this little bastard. Look, sooner or later, I'll break his legs."”
"Don't just smile!"
"Give your father an idea. Which of your younger brothers should I give to the Xu family?”
Zhu Biao stopped smiling and analyzed seriously,"The Xu family has a total of two daughters. The younger daughter is still young, so it's naturally not suitable.”
"Then it can only be the eldest daughter. Looking at her age, among the younger brothers, the third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother are suitable.”
"You mean Third Brother?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.”
"I think Fourth Brother is the most suitable," Zhu Biao said.”
"Fourth Bro?"
When he heard that it was Fourth Brother, Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry." That bastard!”
Zhu Biao said," Among all the younger brothers, Fourth Brother is the one with a naughty temperament. He has many tricks up his sleeves and a stubborn temper. No one in the main hall can control him."”
"Imperial Father, Uncle Xu has led the army for decades. What kind of people have he not seen? Letting him train Fourth Brother, this deal is a sure win for our family.”
If Zhu Zhen was here, he would definitely be impressed by his big brother Zhu Biao.
In history, Zhu Di had been following Xu Da since he was fifteen years old.
Later on, he became the emperor who was the best at fighting.
"Letting Xu Da bring out a fierce general's son for us is not a bad idea!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and suddenly thought of his sixth brother, Zhu Zhen.
Everyone thought that Sixth Brother was a bookworm, but how could Zhu Zhen be a bookworm if he was reading a military book like " General Introduction to Martial Arts "?
This little bastard must also want to lead troops to war and kill the enemy.
Otherwise, why would he be reading the military book?
Zhu Yuanzhang would never believe his twisted logic of memorizing the Analects of Confucius while holding a military book.
"Sixth Brother Zhu Zhen is not bad either. This kid can even secretly read military books.”
