"I'm going to kill that brat with my own hands!”
In his rage, Zhu Yuanzhang even took out his sword.
In order to discipline the army, Zhu Yuanzhang had killed countless people.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao didn't think he was speaking in anger.
If the old master was angry, he might really do it.
He could only try to persuade her,
"Imperial Father, please calm down!"
"Imperial Father, you can't!"
Fortunately, Empress Ma arrived and took Zhu Yuanzhang's sword and handed it to Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
"Boss, put away your sword."
"Zhu Zhongba, what are you doing?"
"Are you rebelling?"
Faced with Empress Ma's question, Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent.
Only Empress Ma dared to call him by his name.
Only Empress Ma dared to persuade him when he was furious.
Empress Ma walked over and tugged at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Come, come, sit."
Zhu Yuanzhang only listened to his sister's words and sat on the chair gloomily.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang sulking and not saying anything, Empress Ma said gently,""Boss is right. No matter what, Fourth Brother is your son. How can you shout and kill him so easily?”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves and snorted." I don't have such a son!”
"Stubborn and disappointing!"
"It's better to have a cow than to have such a son!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's analogy amused Empress Ma." Yes! Naughty and insensible!"
"Follow who?"
"Who was the one who kept saying that Fourth Brother was the most like us when we were young?”
"Have you forgotten that when you brought Tang and them to secretly kill Mr. Liu's calf to eat meat, your father-in-law shouted at you to kill it?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was rendered speechless.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile when he saw his father being defeated.
He thought to himself, Father, you also have a time to be educated?
If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Fourth Brother is just like you when you were young!
Unexpectedly, Empress Ma saw Zhu Biao's smile and immediately glared at him." And you. I asked you to take care of Fourth Brother, not to spoil him."”
"Now that such a big thing has happened, the second person to be dealt with is you.”
The Crown Prince also felt resentful and stole a glance at his Imperial Father, Zhu Yuanzhang.
The father and son looked at each other and felt powerless to refute.
In the end, Zhu Biao couldn't bear to see his fourth brother suffer, so he said carefully,"Mother, although you say so, that was after all forty strokes. Fourth brother, he…"
Empress Ma interrupted him loudly." Serves you right!”
"It's his own fault. Let him suffer.”
Obviously, although Empress Ma was a loving mother, she was more of a reasonable person.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao were speechless.
......
Xu Da calculated the time and knew that no one from the palace would come to plead for mercy on behalf of the Fourth Prince, Zhu Di. He stood up and left the tent, arriving in front of Zhu Di.
Although the military law was like a mountain, Zhu Di was Zhu Yuanzhang's son after all. It was fine to scare him.
Xu Da intended to give Zhu Di a way out." As long as you don't follow the army and are still the Prince of Yan, not my soldiers, I won't be able to hit you with my staff.”
"It's still not too late to change your mind before the military stick falls.”
However, Zhu Di was also a tough nut to crack. Although he was afraid of the military baton, he refused to lower his head.
"No!"
"Are you really not going to change it?" Xu Da asked again.
"I won't change it, I won't change it!" Zhu Di said. I won't change it!"
Xu Da sighed in his heart. Since you insist on doing this, you can't blame me.
"Attack!" he said to the execution soldier.
The executioner received the order. He washed the military staff in the bucket, then raised it high and hit Zhu Di.
Pa!
A dull thud!
Immediately after, Zhu Di let out a blood-curdling scream in pain!
"Ah!"
Obviously, Zhu Di was a prince, and this was the first time he had been beaten so hard!
One could imagine how painful it was.
Xu Da looked at his pampered appearance and was delighted in his heart.
Did the pampered prince really think that the military batons in the military camp were child's play?
Now you know how powerful it is, right?
"This is only the first strike. There are still thirty-nine strikes left.”
"Change it?"
Zhu Di had a stubborn temper. Instead, he was provoked by the pain and shouted,"No!"
When Xu Da heard this, he said again,
"Fight!"
The military staff continued to fall, and the Fourth Prince Zhu Di's screams echoed throughout the camp.
Halfway through, Zhu Di fainted from the pain.
Xu Da scooped a ladle of water and splashed it on his face, waking him up.
"Are you still following the army?"
Zhu Di gritted his teeth, his eyes firm as he spat out one word," Whatever!”
Xu Da's heart moved slightly, secretly thinking that this kid still had some backbone. He was indeed Zhu Yuanzhang's child!
He gave the executioner a look and said,"Keep fighting!"
The soldier received the order and waved his staff at Zhu Di.
However, when the military staff landed on his body, it was not as heavy as before.
In the end, Xu Da still showed mercy!
Firstly, it was because Zhu Di was a prince, and secondly, he admired Zhu Di's pride.
However, although it was not as hard as before, the pain was even worse when it hit the wound.
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and remained silent.
After a round of beating, he grew into a tough man.
Xu Da nodded his head in relief and walked back to the tent.
He sighed inwardly. The Fourth Prince, Zhu Di, is a fierce general even if he is taught well. He can be my son-in-law.
However, compared to that bookworm Sixth Prince Zhu Zhen, he seemed to be lacking in meaning and stability…
He just didn't know how Zhu Zhen would react if he was beaten up.
Recalling Zhu Zhen's lofty and steady appearance, Xu Da immediately gave up on this idea.
Zhu Zhen was so unfathomable, how could he let anyone have the chance to beat him up?
......
Xu Da, Duke of Wei.
Xu Yungong was still worried. He was afraid that his father would hit the Fourth Prince Zhu Di and anger Zhu Yuanzhang, which would bring disaster.
He immediately sent someone to send the news back to the Xu Manor.
Xu Zengshou ran to his elder sister, Xu Miaoyun, in a panic.
"Big sister, it's bad. Father beat up the Fourth Prince in the military camp!”
After hearing the whole story, Xu Miaoyun's reaction was very calm.
"Father beat someone in the military camp. Even if he didn't beat a prince but the crown prince, His Majesty wouldn't blame him.”
"It's just beating up the Fourth Prince. He deserves to be beaten anyway.”
"However, if it was the sixth prince Zhu Zhen, I would be more interested…"
Xu Zengshou was confused and asked,"
"Why is it fine to beat the Fourth Prince, but Eldest Sister wants Eldest Brother-in-law to be beaten?”
Xu Miaoyun smiled mysteriously." Because it's too difficult for your brother-in-law to be beaten. If that day really comes, it'll be very interesting!”
......
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not stop Xu Da from beating Zhu Di, he felt sorry for his fourth son.
After knowing that Xu Da was done, he was in a hurry to go over and take a look at his injuries.
He called out to his boss, Zhu Biao, and was about to leave.
He turned his head and remembered that he was going to the military camp. Suddenly, he remembered that he should bring his sixth brother, Zhu Zhen, to the military camp to take a look.
Thus, he instructed Crown Prince Zhu Biao to call Sixth Brother Zhu Zhen to follow him to the military camp.
