"Shuzi!"
"If I don't break your hand today, my surname will not be Zhu."
Zhu Di was so angry that the word "I" came out. He picked up a feather duster and hit his son's fleshy part, beating him until he cried loudly.
"Dad, it's really not my son. It wasn't my son who did it. It's really not my son. It was my third brother who did this. My son just wanted to help his father clean it up..."
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't figure it out. He obviously had good intentions.
If we talk about not being able to manage the younger brother well, then the eldest brother should be the one who gets beaten.
If we talk about being naughty and mischievous, the third child should be beaten.
Why dad, do you beat yourself up every time?
"The third child did it?"
Zhu Di hesitated and stopped. At this time, Zhu Gaochi also came back with his youngest son. Looking at his clean little son, Zhu Di became even more ruthless.
"You did something bad yourself, and you want to blame it on such a young brother?"
"Do you think of me as a big brother?"
Zhu Di looked at the ruined carpet and felt extremely distressed.
This carpet is so valuable that the money spent to replace it is enough to feed the soldiers for several days.
Those are all white grains, the second child is a prodigal! ! !
"Dad, stop fighting, stop fighting."
Zhu Gaochi knew that his second son had been wronged again, so he rushed forward and hugged his father's legs, and began to exonerate the unfortunate second son.
"It's none of the second brother's business. It's all my son's fault. It's his fault."
The third brother is still young, and as an older brother, he can't tell the truth and let the younger one get beaten, but the second brother is indeed innocent.
It's better to do it by yourself, since I have grown fat anyway, so it won't hurt much if I get beaten.
Let him take the punishment for his brother and bear this beating.
Zhu Di knew this eldest son well. He had been steady and sensible since he was a child, and there was no way he would do such a childish thing.
"Gao Chi, my father is very happy that you are a friendly brother, but you can't help him with everything. Do you understand that you are hurting him by doing this?"
"He was so prodigal at a young age, and he lied to harm his brothers. When he grows up, who can control him?"
With that said, Zhu Di pushed his eldest son away, rolled up his sleeves and began to beat his son's cause: "I told you to be a prodigal, I told you to be a prodigal... you are a prodigal..."
Zhu Gaoxu's voice was almost hoarse from crying, but he still shouted that he had not lied, and cried and complained that his father was partial.
In the end, Zhu Di got tired of beating him, and when he saw that the child still refused to admit his mistake, he realized that there might be a grievance.
He called the little eunuch guarding the door outside to question, and learned that it was indeed the third child who slipped in first, and then the eldest and second children.
The boss hugged the third child, who was covered in ink, and left, leaving only the second child inside.
"Dad, my son knows he is wrong. He just wants to write a message to his father to make him happy. Dad, please don't be angry."
Although the third child's speech was unclear, Zhu Di could understand his son's words.
I saw that even though he was the youngest, he still wanted to make me happy.
Zhu Di was so moved that his heart almost melted, and he quickly picked up the little old man and coaxed him softly.
"Good boy, daddy knows that the third child in our family is the most filial child, so daddy is not angry anymore."
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked up at his father in disbelief.
Is it appropriate to be so partial?
"What are you looking at?" Zhu Di glanced sideways at him and said, "Why don't you take good care of your younger brother? Your eldest brother knows how to do things for your third brother."
"And you?"
"You actually betrayed your own brother. Do you think you are such a big brother?"
"Tomorrow morning, I'll punish you by walking for half an hour longer."
Zhu Di is not soft-hearted at all. The eldest brother is too fat and wants to practice martial arts. The third child is still young, so he can only train the second child.
Zhu Gaoxu: "...Dad? Why?"
He didn't make any mistake, he got a beating in vain, but he still got punished?
When he returns to Beijing to see his grandparents in two months, he will definitely sue his father.
Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Since I am your father, a son must listen to me. Otherwise, why don't you go and change me?"
Zhu Gaoxu was furious, and he was even more determined to complain to his grandparents.
It is said that grandparents love their grandchildren the most. They are not as partial as father, right?
Poor little guy!
What he didn't know was that his father favored his younger and more talkative third brother, while his grandparents and mother favored his kind eldest brother.
Only he will have a sad childhood.
Moreover, he will live with one obsession throughout his life.
That is, let his father value him, care about him, and treat him as the most important son.
In September of the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Gu Chen met the two sons of King Yan at the Qiu hunting ground. He heard that the third son was too young and did not come.
Although they were far apart, Gu Chen could also feel Lao Zhu and Queen Ma's curiosity towards Little Fatty, because the couple almost held him in their arms.
But the smaller one stood beside King Yan and no one cared about him.
"Brother Gu, in families with many daughters, especially those from the royal family, it seems quite difficult for the parents to keep a bowl of water flat."
Chen Baochuan naturally noticed it and commented while chewing the fruit.
"Let's just talk about His Highness King Yan. He returns to the capital every now and then. Other vassal kings, even the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and the King of Zhou, do not receive this treatment."
"Oh, no, King Qin often returns to the capital, just to get scolded. Unlike His Highness King Yan, Your Majesty and Your Majesty simply miss this son."
His Majesty hoped that all the vassal princes would live a simple life and not overuse the people's power, so that the people could rest and recuperate, but King Zhu Ping of Qin did the opposite.
As soon as he became a vassal, he started a large-scale construction project and built himself a luxurious palace.
He also forcibly purchased gold, silver and jewelry from the people to please his concubine Deng, which made it difficult for many people to make a living, and he also abused his main concubine Wang.
His Majesty repeatedly called him back for education, and issued decrees and reprimands from time to time.
It's a pity that it doesn't seem to be of much use, so what should I do with it?
Gu Chen looked at the happy family and whispered to his good brother.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yan is very capable and considerate of the people. I heard that your Majesty and your empress will naturally like it if you live a simple life in Yan Fan."
Not to mention the tyranny of the second eldest brother Zhu Ping, who in the entire Ming Dynasty didn’t know about it?
The third child, Zhu Fan, was so angry that he beat his own cook on the road to the feudal lord.
The fifth child, Zhu Zhu, is stupid and obsessed with medical books all day long.
The only one left is the fourth child, who is both civil and military, and can become the right-hand man of the elder brother in the future.
How could the old couple not like it?
"That's true."
Chen Baochuan touched his good brother with his arm and nuzzled at the shooting range.
"Look, your future brother-in-law is competing with His Highness King Wu."
It's a pity that I blame myself for being too careful, otherwise I could have become in-laws with Brother Gu.
Gu Chen followed Chen Baochuan's line of sight and happened to see the arrow shot by Zeng Xiaozi, which was slightly worse than Zhu Xiongying's.
He remembered that the child's archery skills were not bad.
Moreover, Zeng Xiaozi is older than Zhu Xiongying, so it is not surprising that his archery skills are better than Zhu Xiongying's.
But this kid knows how to hide his clumsiness at such a young age, which is a good thing.
"After all, the royal children are so talented that ordinary people like us can't catch them."
Gu Chen meant what he said sincerely. Even if the royal child is stupid, he cannot withstand the earnest teachings of various great Confucian and famous teachers.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang's Lao Wu, no matter how stupid he was, he compiled a few books.
If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't have this ability.
At Zhu Xiongying's current age, it is already quite good to be able to compete with an older and talented top pick like Zeng Xiaozi in all subjects.
