Zhu Cixiang was established as the crown prince shortly after his birth, which meant that he was likely to become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty when he grew up. This also made his studies much more arduous than others.
The good thing is that Zhu Cixiang can be regarded as living up to expectations. Not to mention smart, he can be compared to a child prodigy, but at least he has always been diligent. This fact has inherited some of Chongzhen's genes, and his teachers are often full of praise for him.
At this time, he was sitting in the school reviewing the Analects of Confucius with Wang Duo, looking very serious.
Bang!
Zhu Cixiang, who was studying seriously and fully focused, was suddenly startled by the sound of the door being pushed suddenly, and then saw Zhu Changwu striding in wearing a python robe.
"Who are you? You dare to break into the royal academy without any rules. Do you want your life? Come, take him down." Wang Duo, who was giving a lecture and enjoying the feeling of being an emperor's teacher, suddenly saw Someone forced his way in, his face darkened, he pointed at Zhu Changwu and kept accusing him.
As soon as he said the words, a dark shadow came to him, and then two big mouths slapped him, making Wang Duo dizzy for a while, and a burning pain spread all over his body. His face instantly became red and swollen.
"With your blind eyes, can't you see what I'm wearing?" Zhu Changwu asked righteously after taking action.
He would not believe that Wang Duo could not recognize him. Even if you don't know yourself, you should still know the skin on your body.
Knowing that only the commander of the Jin Yiwei can wear the python robe, and at the same time he is also the prince's young master, he still wants to let someone take him down. Isn't this a provocation?
Zhu Changwu never gives a good look to those who provoke him.
Hit him lightly, that is, Wang Duo didn't point his finger at himself just now, otherwise, his finger bones would be broken by this moment.
"Zhu Aiqing, please spare him. Wang Zhanshi probably doesn't know you." Zhu Cixiang, who finally came to his senses, spoke and begged on behalf of his teacher.
Obviously Zhu Cihong also knew Zhu Changwu's temperament, so he just begged for mercy without any intention of blaming him. This is because he can't guarantee that once Zhu Changwu is angered, he will actually beat himself up.
You know, Zhu Changwu also has another identity, that is the prince's young master, that is, the prince's teacher.
Even a teacher should educate his students as a matter of course. Even when the lawsuit came to Chongzhen, the other party had no temper at all.
"It's okay if you don't know him, then I'll let him get to know him well." Zhu Changwu said coldly.
It's no wonder he was so angry. When he arrived outside the Imperial Academy just now, he was stopped outside. Even though Zhu Changwu reported his family name, the little eunuch who was guarding here still refused to let him in. He also said that he could go to the crown prince, but he had to wait until Zhu Cihong finished class.
Zhu Changwu didn't say that he had everything to do every day, but there were so many things that he needed to do. How could he waste time here. Now that he had revealed his identity, he was not favored by others, so why should he be polite? He "killed" all the way in.
They were just some bully little eunuchs, how could they be Zhu Changwu's opponent? A moment later, Zhu Hui'ao was stunned, and the eunuchs fell to the ground, and then he rushed in.
That was the scene just now.
In the royal school, not only was Zhu Cixiang present, but there was also his companion, and the third prince, Prince Ding, Zhu Cijiong.
When they saw Zhu Changwu coming in like this and giving Wang Duo two slaps in front of everyone, everyone stood up instinctively.
This is not because they want to stand up for him, but because they are scared.
This is where?
Royal Academy.
It is a place where knowledge is taught to the future emperor.
How sacred it is, even ordinary people who come here have to be careful when speaking, for fear that an accidental interruption will disturb the prince's study.
But Zhu Changwu not only kicked the door open, but also hit people directly when he came in. The person he hit was the prince's teacher. It was strange that the others were not frightened.
Looking at Zhu Changwu dumbfounded, only two words flashed through Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong's mind - fierce man.
Zhu Changwu, on the other hand, after saying a few words, no longer paid attention to Wang Duo, who was stunned. Instead, he looked at the prince Zhu Cixiang and said: "In learning, even if you are not good at optics, you must be able to solve problems. In this way, Please come with me, Your Highness, I will take you to see new things, and let you know that you can learn things not only in the classroom, but also in many ways."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Cixiang finally understood why Zhu Changwu appeared here. It turned out that he was invited to leave the palace with him.
Afraid that his disagreement would arouse Zhu Changwu's anger towards him, Zhu Cixiang agreed immediately without hesitation.
Zhu Cijiong, who had already stood up at the side, also figured out Zhu Changwu's purpose. He rolled his eyes immediately, clasped his fists and saluted: "Master Zhu, I also want to go out to study with you, is that okay?"
"Oh, I have met His Highness Prince Ding." Zhu Changwu looked like he had just seen Zhu Cijiong. He bowed first, then nodded and said, "Of course it's okay."
Zhu Changwu suddenly appeared in the school. After beating Shao Zhan and Wang Duo, he took away the crown prince Zhu Cixiang and the king of Ding Zhu Cijiong and left.
After Zhu Changwu left, Wang Duo dared to cry and shout, and then ran over with a group of old scholars, supporting people and scolding them loudly.
Wang Duo was a junior official and was a fourth-rank official. Zhu Changwu always beat him at his request without giving him any face. Those academics who were just ordinary teachers didn't dare to rush up to him just now.
Only after Zhu Changwu left did he curse twice and show his anger.
But they could only scold Zhu Changwu behind his back, but no one dared to scold Zhu Changwu in person. Haven't you seen that there are seventy court ministers who have died at the hands of others? There were even the Duke of the State, the Elder of the Pavilion, and the Minister inside.
The internal fighting among the officials of the Ming Dynasty never stopped, even when the person who started with a bowl was in power. There are those who criticize each other, those who stumble, those who play dirty tricks, those who accuse people unjustly, those who impeach indiscriminately, and those who just follow the wind. All kinds of weird things have happened.
In such an environment, even a seventh-grade censor dares to impeach a current court elder out of thin air. Not only will nothing happen afterwards, but he will be praised by many people, saying that he is not afraid of power, and that he is a pure person. Role model.
But for officials, there is also a kind of person they dare not provoke, and that is someone who really dares to kill with a knife.
Such people are regarded as reckless and uneducated by them, but they are really untouchable. Think about it, if you impeach others, even if something really happens, even if it just attracts the emperor's wrath, you can still gain a good reputation as someone who is not afraid of power and dares to remonstrate.
Future generations will also benefit from your actions, and you must be respected wherever you go. But if you offend such a martial artist, then you really have to kill him. Not only will it be difficult to leave a clear name, but your family may also suffer along with it.
If you are not clean at all, then I'm sorry. Even after death, he has to bear the name of a corrupt official, which has no room for reason.
During this period, were there still honest officials in the Ming Dynasty?
The answer is of course yes, but certainly not many. To say it is rare is not an exaggeration. This gave them no confidence to confront Zhu Changwu. Even if they were beaten, they could only bow their heads and acknowledge it. Other than that, there was no other way.
Zhu Changwu took two princes and a young master and headed straight outside the palace. He didn't take what had just happened into his heart at all.
He himself is the prince's young master and the most important teacher of the prince. If it must be discussed, Wang Duo should be regarded as his subordinate.
When a superior hits his subordinates, what's there to be polite about? Even if he beat Ya to death, Chongzhen couldn't say anything. At most, he would just remind him to pay attention to the impact afterwards.
Not taking what had just happened seriously, Zhu Changwu walked in the front, his legs spread wide, and he was like a tiger. All this was different in the eyes of the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and Princess Fair.
Before, they only knew that Zhu Changwu had a good way of fighting, and he was never merciless when killing people. If any of his ministers committed a crime and fell into his hands, they would not get much benefit. They thought they had realized Zhu Changwu's reckless side, but what just happened still made them feel that their understanding was insufficient.
In other words, I didn't expect that Zhu Changwu would hit people just as he said, without any courtesy or intention of holding back.
"Old...Teacher, will Wang Zhan be okay?" Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang, who followed him a long way away, finally couldn't help but asked Zhu Changwu after a fierce psychological struggle. problem.
Instead of being called an official, he was called a teacher, which is what he should have done. It is because Zhu Changwu is too young, only two years older than Zhu Cixiang, so this sentence from the teacher is somewhat awkward.
Zhu Changwu didn't feel any discomfort. The so-called master is the first, and his knowledge far exceeds that of anyone in this era. Even if Zhu Cixiang is the crown prince, it is considered a high achievement to ask him to be his teacher.
It depends on Zhu Changwu's mood. If he is in a bad mood, he may not be willing to teach.
"Well, even if the prince calls me teacher, then I will teach you a lesson. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."
"Books are dead, so there is a saying among scholars, which is called dead reading."
Zhu Changwu spoke with a very serious look, which also made the two princes and a princess following him prick up their ears.
Before, they only knew that the person in front of them was very good at fighting, and his way of dealing with problems was quite extreme, which was to kill him if he didn't obey.
