[The author’s words at the end of the chapter, I have something to say below! 】
Besides, at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jinghong had been kneeling for half an hour. Even though he was in good health, he still felt uncomfortable. The most important thing was to save his face.
He was a majestic prince and the best warrior of the Ming Dynasty, known to the world, but at this moment he was made to kneel in front of a large audience. Thinking of Zhu Jinghong made him feel ashamed.
Just as he was comforting himself, he saw someone coming in from outside the palace gate. He looked closely and saw that it was the prince and Prince Rui.
"Are they here to intercede on my behalf?"
It's not surprising that Zhu Jinghong has this idea. After all, both of them want to win over him, and now is a good opportunity to "show off".
However, when the two princes approached, Zhu Jinghong found that their expressions were solemn and they looked more scared than him.
Even though I'm kneeling two feet away, why can't they see me? Not even a hello?
Zhu Jinghong was puzzled, so he reminded him: "Fourth brother, sixth brother, I am here, you can..."
However, before he finished speaking, the two men walked past and entered the hall.
"What's going on here?"
After muttering to himself, Zhu Jinghong thought carefully.
What happened today was very unusual, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. But after seeing the reactions of the fourth and sixth men, he roughly understood the situation.
Maybe it was the two of them causing trouble...
Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong had another question in his mind, and he didn't understand why the matter between these two people involved him.
In any case, I don't have a big problem anyway. It should be the two of them who are worse off this time... Zhu Jinghong judged in his heart.
At this moment, he thought of Cheng Ying's words and couldn't help but sigh that the old eunuch did not lie to him. It was indeed better to stay outside the palace.
Unfortunately, Zhu Jinghong's happiness did not last for a few minutes, as the old eunuch Cheng Ying appeared in front of him again.
"Thirteenth Master, the Lord has a decree for you to enter the palace!"
Since it was a will, he could not disobey it. Even if Zhu Jinghong was unwilling, he had to get up and enter the palace at this moment.
The two entered the main hall, Cheng Ying turned to the right aisle, led Zhu Jinghong all the way, and finally came to Zhaoren Hall.
There were no eunuchs or maids waiting in the palace. Only the prince and Prince Rui were kneeling in the huge palace, which made the atmosphere extremely solemn.
Although the emperor did not appear, both of them were kneeling on the ground. Zhu Jinghong also knelt down very wisely, but he hid behind his two brothers.
"Fourth brother, sixth brother...I think dad is very angry today. How did you offend him?"
Hearing Zhu Jinghong chattering behind him, the prince and Prince Rui both looked solemn and ignored his thoughts, only thinking about how to deal with it next.
The two of them said nothing, but Zhu Jinghong was not idle. He stared at the two brothers and continued: "I don't know anything. You guys have made dad unhappy, so you have to find a way to settle the matter!"
"A true man stands upright, and one of you is responsible for doing things, but don't..."
Before Zhu Jinghong finished speaking, he saw the two people kneeling in front of him lowering their waists and making a kneeling posture.
This made him excited. He looked up in secret and saw the emperor appearing with a gloomy face.
"Kowtow to the Emperor Father!"
Hearing the two princes kowtow, Zhu Jinghong quickly followed and prostrated on the ground. How could he dare to come out at this time.
The emperor was very angry and the situation was serious.
At this moment, Zhu Xianming didn't say a word. The two princes also felt chills on their backs and their bodies couldn't help but tremble. Zhu Jinghong saw all this.
"Heirs of the royal family, coercion and robbery... you are so majestic!"
Once he heard that this had nothing to do with him, Zhu Jinghong relaxed more and more and was already thinking about what to eat for lunch.
"If the world knew that my royal family behaves like this, I'm afraid I would be completely embarrassed!"
When he walked up to Zhu Jinghong and the others, Zhu Xianming's tone became more severe: "Now that the world praises us, our Zhu family is a kind father, a loving son, a filial brother and a respectful brother. How can you feel at ease when you two are quarreling and causing such a thing?"
At this time, Zhu Jingyuan bravely explained: "Dad...there is another hidden reason behind this matter!"
"Is there another secret? What secret? What a bullshit secret!"
The emperor scolded Zhu Jingyuan so hard that he swallowed all his explanations.
"Will the courtiers listen to your explanation? Will everyone in the world understand your secrets?"
The royal family is a role model for the people of the world, and everything they do is seen by the people of the world, and no one cares about what is hidden in it.
After understanding this, Zhu Jingyuan also knew that there was no need to explain anymore, secretly saying that he was indeed impulsive today.
"You three idiots, idiots..."
Seeing that he was also scolded, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but raise his head and defended: "Dad... I don't know anything about this!"
Zhu Jinghong's words immediately caused the emperor to rebuke: "How dare you say that? If it weren't for your instigation, how could the fourth and sixth men have made such a fuss?"
"I didn't instigate you..."
"Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother, you have to be fair, I didn't instigate you two..."
However, at this time, the two brothers dared to speak easily, otherwise they would be the unlucky ones.
Old Thirteen is still too young, and if the old man scolds a few times, he won't lose a piece of meat, so why bother with him... Old Sixth muttered in his heart, and he also lay down lower.
As for the prince Zhu Jingyuan, he really wanted to defend Zhu Jinghong, but he really didn't dare to speak.
"You still dare to quibble?"
Realizing the problem, Zhu Jinghong hurriedly said: "Dad... my son won't quibble anymore. You will get whatever crime you accuse your son of!"
These words seemed eccentric and were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Walking behind Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Xianming grabbed his ear and scolded him: "What do you mean, kid?"
"Dad...Dad...I don't mean anything. I'm talking nonsense. You, the Ming Dynasty Emperor, don't be as knowledgeable as me!"
Seeing Zhu Jinghong's generous temper, Zhu Xianming couldn't do anything to him for a moment, so he let go of his hand and ignored him.
The most important thing today is to beat the crown prince and Prince Rui, not only to make them fight each other, but also to maintain the state of fighting without breaking, and fighting with control.
"Old Thirteen is nonsense. It's okay for him to be stupid. You two brothers are so ignorant today. I'm very disappointed..."
"You claim to be rich in knowledge, and you think you are virtuous and upright, but now you have reached this point over a few horses..."
After saying this, Zhu Xianming said with some sadness: "Look at yourselves, how can you have the dignity of a royal heir?"
These words sound a bit familiar... Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.
Next, the emperor scolded him again, and both princes honestly confessed their crimes and repented, which finally made the emperor's anger disappear a lot.
"Listen carefully..."
Seeing the emperor's serious expression, the three brothers immediately listened with bated breath.
"What happened today has nothing to do with Ma. It's because you two care about Shui Rong, so you came to visit me..."
"Yes!" The two princes responded quickly.
"This time, I will remind you that I won't pursue any further investigation after the Chinese New Year. If things happen like this again in the future, then we will settle the old and new accounts together!"
This is called taking things lightly and putting them down lightly. Only legitimate sons and daughters are treated like this. Not only are they not punished, but they also help wipe their butts.
But as the emperor considered, it was really inappropriate to punish the two sons at this juncture. After all, the royal family still had to maintain their face.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, father!" The two princes responded quickly.
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't respond, Zhu Xianming immediately stared at him and asked: "Old Thirteen, do you have any objections?"
"No... how dare my son have any objections!" Zhu Jinghong answered quickly.
Jin Leng snorted, and Zhu Xianming said slowly: "You guys will go out in a while, talk and laugh, talk and laugh... Do you understand?"
I'm sorry everyone!
In the past two days, I have said that the progress is slow. This is indeed my responsibility, but it is really not intentional. This is how the plot is to be enriched. If it has to be deleted, there will be problems with the structure.
For example, in the first volume, because everyone was dissatisfied with the Xue family, a lot of related plots were deleted. As a result, too much was written about the battle before the Japanese suppression, and the structure was not very reasonable.
Of course, I can also tell you in advance that after the protagonist becomes a king and opens a palace, the timeline will be faster, and it will not be as long as a few days or ten days like now.
Finally, I can only ask for your understanding. The author will try his best to write the story as well as possible and reduce unnecessary plots to the maximum extent.
