Song Lian was spitting on the podium, dancing and talking vigorously, when a eunuch suddenly ran in and interrupted him: "Master Song, ladies and gentlemen, the emperor said that there are important things to be announced in the morning this morning. All officials must be present and ask the servants to come and call. Everyone, go quickly."
Although these officials who gave lectures held many positions, the emperor allowed them to skip the morning session and come to the main hall to give lectures first unless notified in advance.
The emperor suddenly summoned them today, maybe to discuss the pending kingship issue yesterday.
Song Lian thought so, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and said, "Your Highnesses, please take note first, and I will continue my lecture when I come back." Then he hurried away with all the lecturers.
The princes began to practice calligraphy.
Zhu Bai frowned and looked at the copybook.
All are traditional Chinese characters...
I recognize them, they don't recognize me.
It's fine to read, but painful to write.
In the future, I will have to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, which will really kill my life.
I thought that I, a dignified college student, turned out to be semi-literate when I got here.
The more Zhu Bai thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He took a pen and drew a bastard on the paper. Suddenly, he heard someone next to him call him angrily: "Hey."
Looking up, he saw the fifteen or sixteen year old boy sitting diagonally in front of him.
With a long face, slender eyes, broad shoulders and slender waist, his appearance and figure are the most like Zhu Yuanzhang among the princes.
Zhu Bai pulled out a piece of useful information from his chaotic mind: This is his fourth brother.
Damn it, this is Emperor Yongle!
He has been busy making trouble these days and has no time to communicate with Zhu Di.
Looking up and down Zhu Di excitedly, he secretly sighed in his heart: My dear, this is the only emperor in history who "enclosed the wolf in Xu, and restrained Shi Yanran".
For over five thousand years, the number of people who can seal a wolf as a surrogate can be counted on one hand. The others are fierce men like Huo Qubing, Dou Xian, Li Jing and Lan Yu, which shows how strong Zhu Di's fighting ability is.
So awesome! !
Not to mention that he later created the Yongle era and compiled the Yongle Grand Ceremony...
Zhu Bai was so excited that he asked Zhu Di: "Why did Ming Chengzu find his younger brother?"
Damn it, calling me emperor is still implying that I want to rebel!
Forget it, you still call me a posthumous name. Is this a curse to kill me?
Zhu Di clenched his hands and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't leave after school. Let Fourth Brother tell you what it means to be brothers, friends, and brothers."
Hey, from this tone, I want to fight.
It just so happened that I was just trying to let Lao Zhu see what it means to fight between brothers.
Princes fight when they are young, why don't they fight each other to death when they grow up? !
Zhu Bai raised his chin at Zhu Di and said, "Okay, let's fight alone or in a group fight."
Hiss, this guy is not tall and old, but he is quite brave! !
Zhu Di was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhu Bai up and down, and said: "If I want to fight with you, you must say that I bully the small. Let's compete in archery. Whoever loses must agree to a condition. .”
In fact, he still bullies the small with the big. Zhu Bai hasn't even been to the martial arts training ground a few times, so it's strange that he can hit it! !
Zhu Bai bared his teeth and smiled: "If you don't come, you are a bastard; if you default on your debt, you are a puppy."

At this moment, in the main hall, the emperor's face was gloomy, and all the civil and military officials lowered their heads and held their breath, and there was silence.
The floor was covered with torn memorials.
Zhu Yuanzhang was quietly rubbing his sore wrist.
In order to cover up the envelopes that Zhu Bai tore into pieces just now, he simply tore up all the envelopes, including the envelope on Song Lian.
It’s so fun to tear apart! !
Seeing Song Lian and the few people who liked to write nonsense come in and stand up from the door, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and signaled the eunuch to start reading the imperial edict.
The imperial edict talks about the condensed memorial that Zhu Bai said yesterday, and the things mentioned in the previous memorial must not be repeated.
After reading the imperial edict, Zhu Yuanzhang copied Zhu Bai's comments about Ru Taisu.
All civil servants blushed and did not dare to raise their heads. There was a dead silence in the court.
To be honest, when they wrote such a long memorial, they did have some intention of comparison and showing off their skills, but the main reason was that they were afraid that if they wrote too little, the emperor would see their incompetence and shallowness at a glance.
Moreover, if you write a few more sentences about some things to be more tactful and flatter the emperor, the probability of being approved will be much higher.
Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of all the ministers, Lao Zhu burst into laughter: Damn, it's so happy. This hammer blow is really accurate and hard. I want you to bother me again in the future.
It should be said or not, although Lao Twelve is not old, he has a unique vision and his words are to the point. He is really a good elder to my Lao Zhu.
When Song Lian saw that the court was going to be led astray again today, he hurriedly came out and said, "What the emperor said is absolutely true. From now on, I will be concise and to the point. However, I would like to ask the emperor to think twice about the matter of conferring the king yesterday."
Zhu Yuanzhang's temples twitched, and his face suddenly darkened: Is this old scholar not good at his studies? I deliberately slapped Song Lian in the face yesterday. As a result, the old guy's shoe sole mark on his face hadn't healed yet, so he dared to mention it again.
Just in time, I’m going to finish what I didn’t finish yesterday! !
Zhu Biao also became nervous: When Zhu Yuanzhang wants to hit his teacher, will he stop him or not? !
If he didn't stop him, Song Lian would be beaten to death; if he stopped him, Zhu Yuanzhang might misunderstand that he was colluding with Song Lian and others to oppose the enfeoffment.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to speak, a eunuch hurried over: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something serious has happened."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and subconsciously replied: "Howl in mourning for your mother."
The civil servants in the court sighed: rude!
Zhu Yuanzhang could only say: "Greetings to your Majesty for me, please tell me if you have anything to say."
The eunuch whispered: "The King of Yan and the King of Xiang are competing in archery."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "There's no need to panic about archery. My son wants to practice martial arts."
The eunuch said: "The King of Xiang said that it was no fun to shoot the target to death, so he wanted to shoot each other with the King of Yan. The slaves could not stop him and had no choice but to come and report to the emperor."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he stood up suddenly, ran back, and asked, "Where are you?"
The eunuch followed and replied: "The Royal Garden."
Zhu Yuanzhang roared: "Are these two bastards trying to piss me off to death?"
Zhu Biao also hurriedly followed.
Then the group of eunuchs and palace maids ran away with a bunch of things "ding ding bang bang".
Erhu sighed as he ran: I have been following the emperor for more than ten years, and I haven't run as many steps as I did in these three days.
Song Lian became anxious when he saw it: Lao Zhu wanted to run away again, and his persuasion to entrust him with enfeoffment failed.
He said loudly to the figure who disappeared in the palace: "Your Majesty, I will definitely give you some advice on the issue of enfeoffment."
Liu Bowen held Song Lian down and said, "Master Song, please don't be fooled."
Song Lian looked confused: "Well, why did Uncle Chengyi say that?"
Liu Bowen said softly: "The emphasis of the emperor's imperial edict is not on the first half but on the second half."
Song Lian frowned: "The second half... If you report the same thing more than twice, you will not be read."
Liu Bowen nodded: "Yesterday, Master Song presented a memorial, and all the ministers seconded it. It can be regarded as a memorial, so everyone has only one chance to present a memorial again. We must make good use of it."
-----
Zhu Yuanzhang ran away with his heart in mind.
He had never run so fast before when he attacked Zhang Shicheng at night or when he was chased by Chen Youliang.
From a distance, I saw the two gangsters, each holding a bow and arrow, standing about fifty steps apart, aiming at each other.
The other princes hid behind the rockery and watched the fun.
No one stopped these bastards? !
Before Zhu Yuanzhang had time to shout, the two children had already loosened their strings.
The feathered arrows "swished" away with the wind, one went straight to Zhu Bai's left chest, the other went straight to Zhu Di's forehead, and then they both hit the target.
Zhu Di's eyebrows and Zhu Bai's left chest splashed with blood almost at the same time.
"Damn it, I lost two sons at once."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned pale and murmured to himself.
No matter how many children I have, I won’t be able to withstand such a torment...
