Liu Bowen was very curious when he saw Zhu Zhen.
Although he is teaching the princes and the heirs of powerful people to read, he is basically in a semi-retired state.
After all, he had already resigned and returned home.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about him and invited him back from his hometown.
Now he is not only under Zhu Yuanzhang's nose, but also does not hold any important position.
Everyone could see that Zhu Yuanzhang would never reuse him again.
It's not that he has no talent, but that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't dare to use him easily anymore.
However, under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang actually named him and asked him to personally teach Chu King Zhu Zhen, which really surprised him.
What was so different about King Zhu Zhen of Chu that Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to name him to teach?
Before he knew it, Liu Bowen had become interested in Zhu Zhen.
Of course, Zhu Zhen was also very interested in Liu Bowen.
After all, in later generations, there is a saying that Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts and Liu Bowen dominates the country.
When he was conquering the world, he not only gave Zhu Yuanzhang advice and analyzed the situation, but there is also a folk legend that Liu Bowen cut off the dragon veins of the world and protected the Ming Dynasty forever.
There are too many legends related to him.
Zhu Zhen really wanted to take a good look at such a legendary figure.
And when he took a look, he found that Liu Bowen's appearance was not much different from other scholars.
Even his mental appearance was more haggard than the others, looking more like a little old man.
If it weren't for his particularly bright eyes, Zhu Zhen would have doubted whether the person in front of him was Liu Bowen.
“I’ve met Mr. Liu!!”
"Haha! Your Highness the King of Chu doesn't need to be polite. Since His Majesty has named His Highness and Wei Chen to study, then Wei Chen will definitely teach His Highness the King of Chu!!"
"Thank you Mr. Liu!!"
Zhu Zhen still had a certain respect for Liu Bowen, and because of this, he showed special respect.
Such respect made Liu Bowen have a good impression of him.
He could feel that Zhu Zhen was a man who respected his teachers.
When communicating with Zhu Zhen, he could feel that Zhu Zhen was far smarter than other children.
There are many questions and answers that even adults cannot answer, but he can give good answers.
Such intelligence suddenly gave rise to a love for talent in his heart.
Because of this, when he brought Zhu Zhen into the school, he introduced him to others in a grand manner.
He even said that he had accepted Zhu Zhen as a registered disciple.
When such words were said, everyone was in an uproar.
"No, did I hear it correctly? Master Liu actually wants to accept King Chu as his registered disciple?"
"Is this... is there a mistake? Although His Majesty said that he would let Master Liu teach His Highness the King of Chu, he did not say that he would let Master Liu accept His Highness the King of Chu as his disciple!!"
"Could it be that Master Liu thinks His Highness the King of Chu is particularly outstanding, so he makes an exception and accepts His Highness the King of Chu as a registered disciple, and will also accept His Highness the King of Chu as a formal disciple in the future??"
Liu Bowen really had the idea of accepting Zhu Zhen as his disciple. He found that Zhu Zhen's talent and wisdom were indeed far superior to others.
If cultivated properly, he can definitely cultivate a peerless capable minister for the Ming Dynasty.
However, he also knew that his current position was very embarrassing.
Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of him and might even kill him at some point.
Under such circumstances, he naturally could not accept Zhu Zhen as his disciple, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
But even if Zhu Zhen is accepted as a registered disciple, it is enough to attract people's attention.
After all, after Liu Bowen carefully taught Prince Zhu Biao in his early years, he never taught other princes, let alone accepted anyone else as a registered disciple.
Now he suddenly accepts a named disciple, which is really unexpected.
Many people looked at Zhu Zhen with envy.
Of course, there are also people who are jealous.
Among them, King Zhu Shu of Qi was the jealous person.
His mother-in-law, Concubine Da Ding, was banned for five years, which was a huge blow to him.
Especially he knew that the reason why his mother and concubine were banned was related to Zhu Zhen.
Because of Zhu Zhen, not only was his mother and concubine banned, but all his uncles were killed, and their clans were directly exterminated.
He also felt indifference from Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to no longer like his son so much.
This made him full of resentment towards Zhu Zhen, and he even had the urge to fight Zhu Zhen in his heart.
Now Zhu Zhen was not only released from the cold palace, but also received a reward from Zhu Yuanzhang, and was even appreciated by Liu Bowen.
This made Zhu Su so jealous that he couldn't control himself at all.
After class, he directly approached Zhu Zhen.
"Don't leave. You caused my mother-in-law to be grounded. I want to duel with you!!"
"Um??"
Zhu Zhen was obviously taken aback when he heard Zhu Zhen's words.
Not only Zhu Zhen was stunned, but others were also stunned.
As a prince, he wants to duel with other princes. This is obviously irrational behavior.
What people didn't expect was that it wasn't just him who was so irrational, he also brought someone with him.
This person is none other than his younger brother Tan Wang Zhu Zi.
Tan King Zhu Zi has been smart since he was a child. Although he is not very young, he already has a certain talent.
Although he is only five or six years old now, he already knows how to share the same hatred with his brother.
Therefore, after Zhu Shu said the words of duel, he did not hesitate and followed Zhu Shu.
"I want to duel with you too!!"
If he doesn't speak, Zhu Zhen might have to have a serious confrontation with Zhu Su.
However, after he opened his mouth, Zhu Zhen felt that what the two brothers said was like a joke.
Therefore, he smiled slightly and said to Zhu Shu:
"Haha, duel with me? Have you forgotten your clothes before??"
"Do you think you can keep your clothes and ensure that your clothes are not torn?"
"you you…!!"
If Zhu Zhen didn't talk about tearing the dragon robe, Zhu Zhen would almost forget that he had his dragon robe torn apart by Zhu Zhen.
But as soon as Zhu Zhen mentioned it, he immediately remembered the horror of having his dragon robe torn apart twice by Zhu Zhen.
Every time he thought that he couldn't even keep his own dragon robe, and that Zhu Zhen could tear his dragon robe apart, he felt like he was dominated by fear.
This made him take a few steps back involuntarily, and then tightened his grip on his clothes.
His performance made Zhu Zhen laugh involuntarily.
Zhu Shu is really not worthy of challenging him.
And Zhu Zhen's laughter could also make Zhu Zhu clearly feel his contempt.
This made Zhu Shu extremely angry.
"Ah! I want to duel with you, I must duel with you!!"
"I want to fight you with real swords and guns, I want to fight you to the death!!"
After saying the word "fight to the death", Zhu Zhen's face immediately turned cold.
He is not afraid of duels, and he also thinks that the matter of Concubine Da Ding only involves Concubine Da Ding herself.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Shu, as the younger brother, actually said the words of fighting to the death.
This made him feel that it was necessary for him to teach his younger brother.
