"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the back row in surprise.
In the corner of the last row, the sixth prince Zhu Zhen had a calm expression.
He was reading a thick book attentively.
The other princes were all absent-minded, but Sixth Brother was really serious.
The other princes only had one or two books on their tables, but the books on his table were piled high.
It can be seen how hard he worked.
Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted.
He naturally knew that Zhu Zhen had become a bookworm for the past two to three years, staying in the study room all day.
Other than practicing martial arts with the princes or going on a long journey, he usually didn't go out of the main gate or enter the second gate.
Initially, he didn't feel anything. He thought that it wouldn't be bad for the Zhu family to have another disciple who loved reading.
Zhu Yuanzhang grew up in a poor family and did not read much.
Although he had learned how to read and write in Huangjue Temple and had studied the Five Classics systematically from Song Lian and other great scholars, he had always been called an illiterate emperor by those scholars.
She was looked down upon by those scholars.
This was Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest regret.
Moreover, conquering the world relied on martial arts.
However, to rule the world, one had to rely on civil governance.
He thought to himself, I have so many sons, but none of them are willing to work hard.
If he studied so hard, he would become a great scholar in the future.
Helping Crown Prince Zhu Biao govern the world was also a good thing!
However, in the past half a year, Zhu Zhen had suddenly let himself go and sneaked out of the palace for no reason.
They wandered around the streets of the capital.
He set up a stall to earn money, drank wine and ate meat in restaurants, helped the refugees, and occasionally went to the Qinhuai River to visit girls…
His actions were unrestrained and did not follow common sense. He was always beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations and was unpredictable.
All kinds of behavior, he didn't look like a bookworm at all.
This tactful and smooth, this steadiness, was very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang when he was young.
This little brat was really good at pretending!
Pretending to be low-key and a scholar all day, trying to fool your father.
If it wasn't for my wisdom and the fact that I have secret agents gathering information everywhere, I might have really been deceived.
Sixth Brother, ah, Sixth Brother, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. You want to hide it from me, but you're still young!
Zhu Yuanzhang had unknowingly been competing with his sixth son in his heart.
From the beginning to the end, Old Zhu did not expose Sixth Brother Zhu Zhen's thoughts. He just wanted to see how long he could pretend.
You think you're smart, but I know everything. That's interesting.
The more Old Zhu thought about it, the happier he felt. He slowly walked toward Zhu Zhen with a playful expression.
The princes broke out in a cold sweat for Zhu Zhen.
Others might not know, but the brothers knew that Zhu Zhen, this bookworm, was a real bookworm.
Moreover, he was a calligraphy addict who was not picky and would read any book.
Sun Tzu's Art of War, Qi Min Yao Shu, Shen Nong's Herbal Classic, Qian Jin Fang, Meng Liang Lu, Wu Jing Zong Yao, and so on.
She wondered what his little brain was made of. His head didn't hurt even after reading so many " miscellaneous books."
In any case, his brothers admired him very much.
However, there was a problem. Teacher taught the Four Books and Five Classics!
Not those random books.
Previously, his brothers were all worried that Zhu Zhen would be found out by his teacher reading extra-cursory books and be punished by his teacher.
He did not expect this kid to be so capable. He did not usually recite, but when his teacher checked the Four Books and Five Classics, he could always recite them thoroughly.
Zhu Zhen was sitting in the last corner.
Therefore, the elderly gentlemen, with their poor eyesight, did not realize that this bookworm had never listened seriously.
Therefore, in the past three years, Calligraphy Addict Sixth had become an invisible person in the main hall.
The princes were impressed by his ability to remove himself from their teacher's sight as if he had disappeared.
He thought to himself that perhaps this was the luck of a fool.
However, what was the situation now?
Fourth Brother, who stood out, had just been caught skipping class.
You, Sixth Brother, still dare to go against the wind and commit crimes.
Was he stupid?
Bookworm was still a bookworm. He didn't know how to be flexible at all.
The brothers looked at Zhu Zhen with sympathy.
Sixth Brother, oh Sixth Brother, take care.
Everyone was already imagining how Sixth Brother would look when he was slapped.
Mr. Li followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang and praised the sixth prince Zhu Zhen, who was holding a book and devoted to learning.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is talented and intelligent. I never have to worry about his homework.”
"Other than the Crown Prince, the Sixth Prince is the only one who studies hard…"
Mr. Li wanted to praise Zhu Zhen, but before he could finish, he was slapped in the face.
He finally realized that the sixth prince Zhu Zhen was not holding the Analects of Confucius, but the General Introduction of Martial Arts.
The old man was dumbfounded.
Prince Six had always been a good student!
How did he…
Why was he reading a random book in the middle of the class…
What should he do?
The Emperor had asked him to teach the princes the Four Books and Five Classics, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, and the orthodox Confucian classics of benevolence and righteousness.
But now, the Sixth Prince was reading a random book like the " General Introduction of Martial Classics ".
How could this be?
Mr. Li kowtowed and took the initiative to apologize." Your Majesty, I'm guilty.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, unable to react.
"What crime does Mr. Li have?"
"The Sixth Prince doesn't read the books of the sages," said Mr. Li."I'm not good at teaching him.”
So that was the reason.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and agreed. The teacher was teaching the Four Books and Five Classics.
You, Sixth Brother, are reading the General Guide to Martial Arts Classics. This attitude is not good.
If Mr. Li didn't say anything, then it was fine.
Since Mr. Li mentioned this, he had to take it seriously.
Otherwise, if the other princes read other books in the hall in the future and there were no rules, wouldn't it be chaotic?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
Sixth Brother, oh Sixth Brother, you can't blame us for this. This is Mr. Li's punishment. Who asked you to be so immature?
"Sixth Brother, do you know your crimes?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards Zhu Zhen, he had a bad feeling.
It was too late to put away the book in his hand.
He was really depressed and cursed in his heart.
Why did Imperial Father suddenly notice me?
There's clearly a mischievous second brother in front of you. Why don't you go and educate him?
He had been hiding in this corner and was such an invisible person. Teacher had not discovered him for three years, but he had discovered him as soon as he arrived. It was really strange.
Having lived two lifetimes, Zhu Zhen knew his father's temperament very well.
Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, was a donkey that could not be disobeyed.
To put it bluntly, he was a person who would be coaxed but not forced.
If there was something to talk about, they might be able to avoid a few slaps.
Zhu Zhen's thoughts raced as he organized his words.
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhu Biao, who was beside him, interceded for him.
"Father, Sixth Brother is still young and insensible. Why don't you teach him a lesson?”
Zhu Zhen looked at his elder brother Zhu Biao gratefully.
Big Brother was still the best.
This big brother had always been kind and always protected his younger brothers.
All his brothers were in awe of him, and Zhu Zhen was no exception.
It was indeed the case in history." The Crown Prince was a friendly person. The kings of Qin and Jin had made mistakes many times, so they always protected him.”
Among all the princes, Zhu Biao was the most favored.
He was the only one who called Zhu Yuanzhang "Dad".
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression eased up after hearing the word 'father'.
