As soon as Zhu Xiong Ying entered the main hall, he became the focus of everyone's attention.
The main thing was that what had happened a while ago was too unbelievable.
The dignified eldest grandson of the Great Ming Emperor actually made Teacher Lu Ben cry in class.
"Have you heard? Our eldest nephew is very heroic.”
The person who spoke was Zhu Yuanzhang's eighth son, Zhu Zi.
"I also heard that Lu Ben went to Emperor Father to complain. The next day, he complained that he was sick and did not go to teach.”
"Also, do you know why Imperial Father's imperial garden was torn down?" Zhu Bai, the Xiang Prince, said with a smile.
That was because Imperial Father had given Xiong Ying to farm!”
All the princes started to cheer.
No one else knew about this.
However, these princes still knew.
Just like Xiang King Zhu Bai, he was already a king, but he had yet to become a vassal.
Therefore, he still lived in the Imperial City.
These things had spread throughout the royal family.
However, it had yet to spread to the court and the people.
Zhu Bai patted the stool beside him and said to Zhu Xiongying,
"Xiong Ying, come and sit here. In this main hall, your twelfth uncle will support you if you need anything.”
"Twelfth Brother, you can continue to brag!”
"You're backing me up?" Eighth Prince Zhu Zi said with a smile. Later, Shao Zhi, the Minister of Rites, would give a lecture.
Can you back me up?"
The group of princes jeered again.
It had to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang had taught these princes to be docile.
The relationship between the princes was not bad.
At least they could joke around with each other when they were in class together.
Zhu Bai's personality was rather carefree, even though he had not met Zhu Xiong Ying many times.
However, they were uncle and nephew after all. Their blood relationship made it easier for them to get along.
However, Zhu Xiong Ying looked at these princes who were not much older than him. Some of them were even younger than him.
Of course, he was not willing to call them imperial uncle.
Zhu Xiong Ying nodded and sat down beside Zhu Bai.
Speaking of Zhu Bai, Zhu Xiong Ying had some understanding of him.
Among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, he was considered one of the more outstanding ones. He was both civil and martial.
He had a good personality and was not a violent person, nor was he a treacherous person.
However, if Zhu Xiongying died in the 15th year of Hongwu, when Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and cut off his vassal state, he would be killed.
Zhu Bai did not end up well.
"I don't really like to address you as uncle and nephew.”After Zhu Xiong Ying sat down, he said to Zhu Bai,
"How about we call each other brothers in the future?
If grandfather was here, we would still address each other as uncle and nephew.
If Grandfather isn't here, we'll be good brothers.”
Zhu Bai was dumbfounded.
This was the first time he had heard of such a request.
"Forget it."
"You can call me whatever you like," Zhu Bai said with a smile.
But let me tell you, do you know who will be teaching later?”
"Shao Zhi?"
Zhu Xiong Ying had indeed heard the princes jeering.
"That's right, it's Shao Zhi, the Minister of Rites.”
"Shao Zhi, the Minister of Rites, likes to bring the stuff from the Ministry of Rites to class." Zhu Bai frowned.
In short, our lecture is not very simple.”
"Damn, he's just a minister of the Ministry of Rites. We're all princes and grandchildren.”
"Why would I be afraid of him?" Zhu Xiongying laughed.”
According to blood relations, there was indeed no need to fear the Minister of Rites.
But this was the main hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang had once told those grand scholars that as long as they were in class.
There were no princes or grandsons.
There were only teachers and students.
"It's not that we're afraid of him." "Isn't it because I'm afraid of Imperial Father?" Zhu Bai said.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's figure appeared in Zhu Bai's mind.
But soon, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.
"Xiong Ying, if you can make Shao Zhi, the Minister of Rites, so angry that he claims illness and leaves, we will call you brother.”
Zhu Bai looked at Zhu Xiong Ying sneakily and said with a smile,"If we anger him away for three to five days, we won't have to go to class!”
"Simple."
"Just watch me later," Zhu Xiongying said.”
Such a small matter was not difficult for Zhu Xiongying.
He couldn't use force against an old scholar like Shao Zhi.
Once you fought with him, he would have ten thousand reasons to insult you.
For such a person, he could only defeat magic with magic.
The reason why Zhu Xiong Ying listened to Zhu Bai was naturally because Zhu Bai was very suitable for another matter.
That was to go out to sea!
Bewitching Zhu Bai a little, then this Great Ming's maritime empire could appear ahead of time.
The person who could be used was Zhu Bai, who was skilled in both literature and martial arts!
The princes waited for a moment before a figure appeared outside the main hall.
It was the Minister of Rites, Shao Zhi.
He was also the Grand Secretary of Canopy Hall that Zhu Yuanzhang had recently arranged.
Shao Zhi's eyes were very sharp after he entered.
The first thing he did when he entered was to pick up the Book of Rites in one hand and the ferule in the other.
It was obvious that he was a strict teacher.
"Zeng Ziwen asked you to recite the Book of Rites two days ago. How is it?”
Shao Zhi went straight to the point and checked the results of the princes 'recitation.
"I've memorized them all."
The princes replied in unison.
He didn't dare to slow down.
In the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang gave these old men the right to beat the prince with a ruler.
However, there were only a few who dared to make a move.
Shao Zhi, the Minister of Rites, was one of them.
He took the ferule and walked around the main hall leisurely, just like how teachers in the future taught.
When he walked to Zhu Xiongying's side, Shao Zhi said,
"Your Royal Highness, this is your first time coming to the main hall to teach. You might still be a little inferior to the princes.”
"I'll have to work harder after I go back to keep up with the progress of the main hall," Shao Zhi said lightly.”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhu Xiongying nodded.
Zhu Bai was already laughing in his heart.
He had thought that Zhu Xiongying was a mischievous child and would definitely offend Shao Zhi.
However, he did not expect that he would still be afraid after coming to the main hall!
Beside Zhu Bai, Shao Zhi continued,
"I've also heard from Lord Lu Ben, Minister of Taichang Temple, that you shouldn't bring your bad habits to the main hall.”
When Zhu Xiongying heard this, why was his words so sarcastic?
He seemed to be looking for trouble.
Previously, Shao Zhi had asked him to go back and do his homework.
However, Zhu Xiongying still adhered to the concept of respecting teachers.
However, since you're picking on me in public, don't blame me for being rude.
"Sir Shao."
Zhu Xiongying tilted his head and looked at Shao Zhi.""May I ask what we are learning today?”
"Book of Rites!"
Shao Zhi puffed out his chest and raised his head. He was very confident in this knowledge.
"Then may I ask Lord Shao, other than the Four Books and Five Classics, do you know anything else?”
"For example, an abacus?" Zhu Xiongying asked.
For example, astronomy, geography…
No, this is too difficult for you.
Do you know how to farm?"
