At this moment, two figures on the grass were coming and going.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Yunxi struggled together.
But soon, Zhu Yunxi discovered that something was wrong.
On weekdays, he sparred with soldiers in private and could win with certainty.
When it comes to boxing and kicking skills, he is quite confident.
I dare not say that it is absolutely no problem to deal with three or two people with one against ten.
But facing Zhu Gaoxu, he found that he completely underestimated the enemy.
Zhu Gaoxu's strength was several times his, and his ribs were numb with one punch. This was because Zhu Gaoxu had not struck a fatal blow, otherwise he might have killed Zhu Yunxi.
Bang!
Zhu Yunxi was kicked to the ground by Zhu Gaoxu and rolled far on the ground.
His face fell to the ground, where he fell and gnawed on the mud.
In fact, Zhu Gaoxu beat Zhu Yunxi like a child.
I deliberately played more than a dozen tricks with him but got tired of it, so I kicked him away and prepared to run away to avoid making things worse.
"Fight me? You're asking for humiliation, bah!"
Zhu Gaoxu dusted himself off and spat on the ground with a look of disdain.
This is an innate talent for ridicule.
It's easy to use it accidentally.
For example, when the bandits were wiped out in Cangzhou last time, Zhu Gaoxu was the one who came to fight with the bandits in a few words.
On the other hand, Zhu Yunxi had completely lost his mind at this time.
Never had he been so insulted!
With the support of the Lan family and the Chang family, and the fact that he was the crown prince's legitimate son, no one dared to offend him.
But now, he was knocked to the ground, ate a mouthful of dirt, and lost all face.
Especially at the end, Zhu Gaoxu's seemingly casual spit deeply hurt Zhu Yunxi's self-esteem.
He felt in his heart that his father had just died and someone else was standing on his head to shit on him. He couldn't bear it! ! !
"The second son of Prince Yan, you bullied me too much, I will fight with you!!"
Zhu Yunxi got up from the ground, shouted loudly, drew his sword from his waist, and rushed towards Zhu Gaoxu.
If it was just a small fight just now, now it is really red-eyed.
After all, no matter how they fought just now, neither side drew weapons, only fists and feet.
But now Zhu Yunxi can't control so much.
He couldn't defeat Zhu Gaoxu and had to use weapons.
"Hahaha, you don't really think you can defeat me with a broken sword, do you?"
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and dodged easily.
He dodged the sword thrust.
Too slow, too weak.
In Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, Zhu Yunxi was as easy to deal with as a child.
Logically speaking, Zhu Yunxi could usually deal with three soldiers, so he would not be so weak.
It's a pity that he met Zhu Gaoxu, who was born with supernatural power and had combat experience gained from fighting with real swords and guns on the grassland. The two of them were not opponents of the same level at all.
After the fight just now, Zhu Yunxi was exhausted.
Zhu Gaoxu, on the other hand, is still full of energy.
Now Zhu Yunxi kept slashing at Zhu Gaoxu with his sword, but the latter could always dodge easily.
Zhu Gaoxu was still reasonable and did not draw his sword. After all, the man in front of him was the crown prince's legitimate son, and he was only the second son of the vassal prince. The other person's status was much higher than his own.
"Don't run away if you dare!"
Zhu Yunxi went crazy and kept chasing.
"Don't run? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Zhu Gaoxu kept dodging, and every time he just moved his feet slightly, he could avoid the opponent's sword edge.
It was like an adult teasing a child, which made Zhu Yunxi even more angry.
At this time, unknowingly, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to arrive on horseback.
"Stop fighting. We are all brothers. We can't sit down and talk about anything."
At this time, the chicken thief Zhu Yunwen saw that the Holy Emperor was approaching, and immediately got out and stood between the two of them, looking like a good old man.
"Go away, you have nothing to do here."
Zhu Yunxi was already on top at this moment and ignored Zhu Yunwen. He only felt that Zhu Yunwen had seen the matter and was even more ashamed.
This Zhu Yunwen was always flattering himself in front of the emperor's grandfather.
It is said that he is better than Yun Wen in martial arts, riding and shooting.
As a result, Yunwen saw him being hung up and beaten by Zhu Gaoxu. This feeling was worse than eating shit.
"Really don't fight. Isn't it just a prey? I will share my prey with you Yunxi. Don't hurt the friendship between brothers."
Zhu Yunwen said this specifically, ostensibly for the other party's good, but in fact Zhu Yunxi felt even more uncomfortable after hearing it.
What do you mean by sharing the prey with me? Who the hell are you looking down on?
"This is not about prey!"
Zhu Yunxi scolded: "Get out of here, you look so coquettish. I have long disliked you. You are in the way. If you block me again, I will stab you as well."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Yunwen and said, "Brother Yunwen, you'd better go away. Don't hurt you. Let him come and stab me. He can touch a hair on my face today. I, Zhu Gaoxu, write the three characters upside down."
Zhu Gaoxu actually felt that Zhu Yunwen was in the way and the other party couldn't touch him at all. When he got tired, he would naturally fall down.
"No, I won't leave. As an elder brother, how can I sit back and watch the brothers fight each other?" Zhu Yunwen was still saying.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't stand it anymore. These two guys, one on the left and one on the right, were poking at his heart and insulting people with every word. He really couldn't stand it anymore.
"Damn it, Zhu Gaoxu, I'll kill you, and you say I can't touch a hair on your head, who do you think you are?"
With that said, Zhu Yunxi stabbed Zhu Gaoxu again with his sword.
Zhu Gaoxu can actually avoid it easily.
But when Zhu Yunwen saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming, he rushed over, stood in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and shouted: "No! Stop fighting brothers!"
Pfft——
Zhu Yunxi's sword finally hit.
However, it missed Zhu Gaoxu and hit Zhu Yunwen's right arm.
Zhu Yunwen was not that stupid. He would not block it with his chest, but with his arms.
This sword stabbed down.
Zhu Yunxi was stunned, but he didn't expect to stab the wrong person.
Why did Zhu Yunwen block Zhu Gaoxu's sword?
Zhu Gaoxu was also stunned. This Zhu Yunwen must be fucking sick. Why are you rushing over to block my sword? Do I need you to intervene?
Only Zhu Yunwen smiled, this sword was worth it and just right.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang in the distance happened to see this scene! ! !
This is the moment Zhu Yunwen has been waiting for! !
"You bastard!! You have learned how to kill brothers at a young age!!"
An angry shout resounded throughout the sky.
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaoxu shuddered at the same time.
The two of them followed the sound, already scared out of their wits.
The person who came was none other than the imperial grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang came with an angry face, followed by a group of people, Lan Yu, Zhu Di, etc.
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, especially when he saw the sword in Zhu Yunxi's hand stabbing Zhu Yunwen. These two were brothers!
"ah"
Zhu Yunwen screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
Although he was only stabbed in the arm, the blood flow continued, making it particularly tragic.
"You bastard thing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang acted vigorously and walked to Zhu Yunxi's side in two or three steps.
He slapped him across the face.
There was a snap.
This slap did not hold back at all and directly knocked Zhu Yunxi to the ground.
Zhu Yunxi only felt something strange, a palm print appeared on his face, his head was buzzing, and he was speechless for a while.
"Grandfather, don't blame Yunxi."
Zhu Yunwen endured the pain, climbed up, and said with a painful look on his face: "Yunxi didn't target me, he had a conflict with his cousin Gao Xu, and they started fighting. I was trying to reconcile it. Don't blame him for the accidental injury." , He didn’t mean to hurt me.”
It can be seen that Zhu Yunwen's acting skills are first-rate and his speech is planned in advance.
I'm afraid he had already thought of what to say before he came to stop the fight between the two.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at his grandson Zhu Yunwen.
He didn't feel it before. But now.
This grandson blocked his brother's sword and was injured but did not intercede for mercy.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to see the shadow of Zhu Biao in Zhu Yunwen.
Just as Tiedingshi said, Zhu Yunwen won half of Biao'er's mantle!
"Yunwen, don't worry about this, go and heal your wounds."
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the cavalry guards and ordered: "Take the emperor's grandson back quickly to recover from his injuries!"
"yes!"
The guards came over immediately and helped Zhu Yunwen away.
Before Zhu Yunwen left, he said: "Please, Grandfather, please don't punish these two."
The sound faded away.
Zhu Yunwen walked away with a smile on his face.
Today's scene is watertight.
'Something is wrong'
Zhu Di, who saw this scene, was already very anxious.
These two idiots must have been taken advantage of by Zhu Yunwen.
He put on a good show for the saint to watch.
Why didn't I realize that Zhu Yunwen was so scheming before?
There is also Sapphire who feels the same way.
At this time, no matter how stupid Lan Yu was, she could still tell that something was wrong.
Zhu Yunwen blocked Zhu Gaoxu's sword?
The two of them have never met each other in their lives, how could this friendship come from!
It's over. If we do this today, Zhu Yunxi will probably be rejected by the Holy Emperor.
But in this situation, neither Zhu Di nor Lan Yu dared to defend themselves.
"Zhu Gaoxu!"
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaoxu and asked: "Tell me everything. If you have something to hide, I can't spare you!"
"It's the imperial grandfather."
Zhu Gaoxu was already kneeling on the ground and trembling.
He felt as if he had gotten into trouble.
But now there is still a chance to explain, and I am still reasonable.
Zhu Gaoxu calmed down and then said:
"Returning to the emperor's grandfather, it was his grandson who discovered a deer and planned to hunt it. Unexpectedly, Yunxi's cousin also set his sights on the prey. He shot an arrow, but missed the shot, startling the deer. Grandson The son shot again and was hit in the head. At this time, the emperor's brother Yunxi shot the deer's body. The grandson thought that he would hit it first, so he took the prey. Yunxi's cousin refused to let the grandson go, and kicked the grandson. When he fell to the ground, my grandson became angry and started fighting."
Zhu Gaoxu vomited everything out, not daring to hide anything.
After finishing speaking, he knelt on the ground and said, "My grandson knows his mistake and asks the emperor for punishment. My grandson will accept the punishment."
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored it and turned to look at Zhu Yunxi, "Is that so?"
Zhu Yunxi was knocked over by a slap just now. He was so confused that he came back to his senses and knelt on the ground and said: "I was the first to find this deer and guarded it for a long time. Gao Xu came later."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Who shot first?"
Zhu Yunxi wanted to lie.
But facing Zhu Yuanzhang's aura pressing over him, he didn't dare to lie.
"Indeed. It was indeed Gao Xu who shot first, but if he had stepped in, my grandson would have been able to hit the target with his next arrow. Grandfather. I. I was wronged. My grandson knows that I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again next time." "
"stand up."
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"good"
Zhu Yunxi stood up tremblingly.
There was a snap.
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped him again.
It hit the same side of the face, and the face immediately swelled up.
Zhu Yunxi was knocked to the ground again and could not get up.
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at his nose and cursed: "You don't even have the tolerance to be tolerated. How did you learn from your father! Between brothers, as the elder brother, you took the first action without saying anything. You actually drew your sword to hurt your younger brother. !!”
Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu didn't draw his sword. Zhu Yuanzhang noticed it at the first sight.
Zhu Yunxi drew out his sword, but Zhu Gaoxu's sword was still on his waist.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like his grandson Zhu Gaoxu very much.
But today it seems that this grandson Zhu Yunxi is not even as good as Zhu Gaoxu! !
Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry and cursed.
In his later years, he rarely showed such anger.
I'm really sad that I can't fight, and I'm angry that I'm unfortunate!
He originally intended to set Zhu Yunxi as one of the candidates for the crown prince.
But at this moment, he had completely rejected Zhu Yunxi.
From this moment on, Zhu Yunxi has no chance of being crowned emperor!
As the curses rang out, everyone around him, including Zhu Di and Lan Yu, knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Everyone said in unison.
Lan Yu was already devastated, knowing that she had completely lost today.
But he still wanted to save something, and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is young. He is frivolous and easy to act on impulse. Today, he acted unintentionally. Please give His Majesty, your Majesty, a chance to change his ways."
It would have been okay if Lan Yu didn't say this, but once she said it, it touched Zhu Yuanzhang's nerves.
"Okay, I'll give him a chance to change his ways."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Yunxi felt happy.
But soon he became more desperate.
"Come here! Put Zhu Yunxi into prison. No one can visit him. He will not be released without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!!"
After leaving these words, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his sleeves and turned away in anger.
"Hey, I seem to be fine?"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not punish him, Zhu Gaoxu was secretly happy.
"Grandfather, please spare my life, Grandfather."
Zhu Yunxi's face was ashen. He knew what this meant, and he became so excited that he passed out.
That's it.
A hunting activity made Long Yan furious and ended hastily.
As Zhu Yunxi was sent to prison.
The situation in the court changed instantly.
Things spread very quickly.
The emperor and his grandson have all been imprisoned. Is this supporter still useful?
On the same day, Lan Yu returned to the capital and found that the officials who had been friends with her had already avoided them and treated them as strangers from a distance.
This is the human heart.
Human relationships are cold and chaotic, and the world is in a fickle state.
Lan Yu has begun to realize that as Zhu Yunxi was sent to prison.
I'm really going to collapse
late at night.
In the capital, Prince Yan's mansion is brightly lit.
"Dad, my son is right!"
After returning from the hunting ground, Zhu Gaoxu had been kneeling in the hall for five hours.
While kneeling, he shouted unconvinced and felt a hundred grievances in his heart.
"Oh, my second brother, your knees are hurting after you have been kneeling for so long. Please admit your mistake to me and give in."
Zhu Gaochi patiently advised from the side.
"Dad, my son is right!"
Zhu Gaoxu had a stubborn temper and would never give in. His yelling became louder and louder.
After shouting for a day, Zhu Di was also a little irritable.
He took a whip and walked out of the house, slapped it on Zhu Gaoxu's butt, and cursed: "Fuck you, mother, do you know that you have ruined my life!"
"My son is right!"
Zhu Gaoxu looked dissatisfied. He gritted his teeth and remained silent even after being whipped.
The two stubborn tempers have finally met.
"Dad, please spare me."
Zhu Gaochi also knelt on the ground with his fat body and begged: "It's all my fault. If my second brother hadn't given me eight rabbits and lost some prey, he wouldn't have thought about the deer winning the first place. You want to Punishment, just punish me, don’t let the second child kneel, he has been kneeling for five hours without even taking a sip of water."
Hearing this,
Zhu Di felt a little soft in his heart. It turned out that there was another reason for this.
The second child is divided, and the boss still knows how to help others.
But he didn't appreciate Zhu Gaoxu's stubborn temper, and said: "Brother, stop talking. Even if I don't give you those eight rabbits, I hunted the deer, so it belongs to me. Why should I give it to him? Besides, Zhu Yunxi made the first move, shouldn't I fight back?"
Zhu Di was originally a little soft-hearted.
When he heard this, he was so angry that he whipped Zhu Gaoxu again.
"He is a husband who can bend and stretch. What does your grievance mean? Why did you fight with Zhu Yunxi today and say you were right! I told you not to cause trouble for me, and you are the one causing trouble again! Come on, your mother of!"
Zhu Di was also furious and kept swearing.
"My son is right, he still has merit!"
Zhu Gaoxu became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
Zhu Di chuckled and said, "What are your merits? Tell me."
Zhu Gaoxu was dissatisfied and said: "Although there was trouble today, wasn't Zhu Yunxi sent to prison? Dad, wouldn't your chance of success be greater? Isn't this the credit of my son?"
Zhu Gaoxu felt that he had merit and had done good things.
And it is simply unreasonable for my father to punish himself!
"idiot!"
Zhu Di cursed and asked: "Zhu Yunxi was sent to prison, but what about Zhu Yunzhen?"
"Zhu Yunwen? Zhu Yunwen is nothing."
Zhu Gaoxu pondered: "Zhu Yunwen is a concubine. Dad, you are the legitimate son of the emperor. Zhu Yunwen is not worth mentioning. Dad, just wait until you become the emperor."
Zhu Di: "."
Zhu Gaochi: "."
Both of them were slightly silent, this guy was really eloquent.
If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers around the mansion were all dead soldiers brought by Zhu Di, if this sentence spread, something would have gone wrong.
"How about I say you're stupid?"
Zhu Di said angrily: "Although Zhu Yunwen is a concubine, his mother has been rehabilitated and is a crown prince. As long as the Holy Emperor is willing, he can become the eldest son. You and Zhu Yunxi are two idiots who were taken advantage of by Zhu Yunwen. You don't know it until now. .”
"What, I was used by Zhu Yunwen."
Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed as he recalled what happened today.
Then I realized something was wrong!
That's right, that Zhu Yunwen didn't block him early or late.
The timing was just right, as soon as the imperial grandfather came, he was hit by the sword.
He felt strange at the time that he and Zhu Yunwen were cousins and only met each other once, so why would they block his sword?
It was only after hindsight that I suddenly woke up!
Damn, this piece of shit isn't blocking my sword at all, it's just for the saints to see.
"Dad, does Zhu Yunwen really have a chance?"
After learning the truth, Zhu Gaoxu hesitated a little.
Zhu Di snorted and said: "Of course there is a chance! Look how well that boy Zhu Yunwen performed today. He was better than you two idiots. He did not forget to plead for mercy before leaving. Normally, the Holy One likes Zhu Yunwen more. Today It’s even more impressive!”
Zhu Di was worried and sat on the chair and said: "Some time ago, that Fang Xiaoru came to the palace to talk about filial piety. Weren't you there too? Zhu Yunwen was absent, right?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "Yes, Zhu Yunwen was absent, and the emperor's grandfather was still a little unhappy at the time."
Zhu Di said: "Do you know where Zhu Yunwen went?"
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head.
Zhu Di continued: "Zhu Yunwen was discovered by the eunuch and cried for three days and three nights in the mourning hall of your uncle Zhu Biao. He fainted from crying, so he was absent."
After listening, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.
No wonder Zhu Yunwen didn't come that day.
Fang Xiaoru talks about filial piety, and what he talks about is the filial piety of father and son.
And this kid cried unconsciously in his father's mourning hall. Isn't this an expression of filial piety? What the hell.
"Is Zhu Yunwen so scheming?"
Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe it.
Zhu Yunwen, who seemed to be honest and honest, was also vying for the position of crown prince.
"Hey, actually it was Li Xiao who first reminded me."
Zhu Di said with some regret: "It's also my fault that I didn't tell you in advance and ended up in this situation now."
"Brother-in-law, he is so clever and clever."
Zhu Gaoxu finally realized that he was wrong, "Dad, I was wrong."
Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi quickly begged for mercy: "Dad, my second brother knows that he was wrong, please spare him this time."
Zhu Di rolled his eyes at him and said, "Go away."
After that, he went back to his room to rest.
Looking at his father's leaving figure, Zhu Gaoxu blamed himself very much.
"Hey, it seems that we should look for opportunities next time, perform well, and make up for our mistakes."
That's it.
A few days have passed since this incident.
The situation in the court changed again.
All civil and military officials know this.
Zhu Yunxi is now the one who has been eliminated.
Lan Yu was disheartened and became autistic. She stayed at home all day long and refused to see guests.
With the decline of Lan Yu's camp, many officials had no choice but to find another way out.
Originally, the people in the Lanyu camp had offended everyone on Zhu Di's side. If they don't find another backer now, will they still have something to gain when Zhu Di becomes the heir apparent?
I learned that Zhu Yunwen's performance in the hunting ground last time was deeply recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang.
So most officials focused on Zhu Yunwen.
Although it is said that inheritance is passed on to direct descendants but not to concubines.
But isn’t it true that we should establish the elder rather than the young?
But although Zhu Yunwen was a concubine, he was also the eldest son!
He is one year older than Zhu Yunxi, so he is the eldest brother!
Moreover, Zhu Yunwen's mother, Lu, was registered as the crown prince's step-concubine in the eleventh year of Hongwu.
The skills of these literati are very powerful. They can confuse right and wrong and write a lot of truth to prove Zhu Yunwen's correctness. There is absolutely a way.
Soon, many officials began to visit the door of Zhu Yunwen's biological mother, Lu.
But at this time, Qi Tai, as a think tank, showed his intelligence.
In fact, most of Zhu Yunwen's previous methods were instructed by Qi Tai.
Qitai is really a smart person.
He deeply realized that Zhu Yunwen had no advantage at all.
The only person he can rely on is the sage Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, Qitai had only one way to tell Zhu Yunwen: to satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the face of many officials coming to seek refuge, Zhu Yunwen made a move to retreat instead of advancing, thanking guests behind closed doors and rejecting everyone.
Those officials who wanted to seek refuge with Zhu Yunwen were rejected.
This matter was naturally known to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang did not like forming cliques, so his favorable impression of Zhu Yunwen increased again.
Those officials who were rejected did not give up.
Spontaneously, he began to approach Zhu Yunwen in the court hall.
He suggested that the Holy Emperor should make Zhu Yunwen his legitimate son instead, because his mother was the Crown Princess, and then he told a lot of truth, which sounded like that.
Zhu Yuanzhang neither affirmed nor denied, and did not express any opinion.
Because he was still hesitant.
Zhu Yunxi was excluded.
But Zhu Yuanzhang had to choose one from Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di.
But no matter who you choose, Sapphire cannot be kept.
The power is too great. As the commander-in-chief, he controls the military power of the world.
No matter who of these two people becomes the crown prince, Lan Yu must be eliminated. No one can suppress Lan Yu, not even Zhu Yunwen, not even Zhu Di can use Lan Yu.
And how could those officials below the court not know what the Holy One was thinking?
There was no need for Zhu Di to take action himself. There were too many people who had enmity with Lan Yu and defected in the face of battle.
The memorial to impeach Lan Yu floated down like snowflakes.
It is said that there are thousands of Lan Yu's adopted sons, all over the government and the public.
It is said that Lan Yu annexed fertile land, and some families own 300,000 acres of fertile land.
Some say that Lan Yu is arrogant, domineering, lawless, and kills innocent people indiscriminately.
Others say that when Lan Yu came back from pacifying Annan, he uttered wild words, saying that the Holy Emperor not only refused to reward him, but also beheaded his son to express his dissatisfaction in public.
As the saying goes, if a wall falls, everyone will push it; if a drum breaks, thousands of people will beat it.
True and false, false and true.
In short, Lan Yu was charged with countless crimes.
He became a heinous person.
Lan Yu never dreamed that those officials who were chatting and laughing in his house not long ago would sell him out in the blink of an eye.
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Jin Yiwei to arrest Lan Yu and send him to prison to await review.
So Lan Yu returned to the imperial prison and met Zhu Yunxi
Of course we can't meet each other, after all, we are not in the same cell.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite queen is gone.
My favorite son Zhu Biao is no longer here either.
Maybe it's because I'm really old, and I always miss my family a little bit as I get older.
Now Fang Xiaoru was summoned to the palace and became a lecturer of the Hanlin Academy.
These days, Zhu Yuanzhang was fascinated by Fang Xiaoru's lectures, especially on filial piety.
No, the princes and grandsons were summoned to the palace to listen to Fang Xiaoru's lecture.
Zhu Di was so angry. If that idiot Lan Yu hadn't stopped him, Fang Xiaoru would have been killed by him long ago. How could he have caused so much trouble.
Naturally, the three brothers Zhu Gaochi also wanted to go to the palace to attend lectures.
Before leaving, Zhu Di repeatedly warned Zhu Gaoxu to shut up and stop talking.
If you talk too much, you will make many mistakes. If you talk too much, you will make mistakes!
Zhu Di asked him to learn more from Zhu Gaosui and be a transparent person, with the ability to make people unable to feel his existence.
Zhu Gaoxu promised that he would not talk nonsense.
Only then did Zhu Di feel relieved and let them set off.
Arrive at the palace.
Zhu Gaoxu did indeed fulfill King Yan's instructions.
Fang Xiaoru was giving a lecture, but he remained silent below and didn't say a word.
Yes, he didn't speak, but he fell asleep sitting up.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to fall asleep.
But what Fang Xiaoru said, such as formality, etiquette and morals, etc., when it reached Zhu Gaoxu's ears, it was like a book from heaven and he couldn't understand it at all.
Most importantly, the hypnotic effect is excellent.
Snort, snore, snore
Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu heard the sound of snoring.
All the princes and grandsons looked at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned livid again, and he became increasingly dissatisfied with Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Di never expected that his son would once again make his father unhappy. It was not enough for him to keep Zhu Gaoxu silent, he also had to keep him from sleeping.
"Second brother, second brother."
Zhu Gaochi listened too carefully and felt that Fang Xiaoru's speech was so good that he was so fascinated that he didn't even know that Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting next to him, fell asleep.
Zhu Gaoxu, who was pushed awake by Zhu Gaochi, wiped his saliva and said in a daze: "It's over, is it over?"
Then, he realized that everyone was looking at him, including his grandfather.
"I studied too hard last night and fell asleep late."
Zhu Gaoxu immediately found a reason to explain.
Not only did this argument fail, it also made the whole room laugh.
"Haha, only a devil would believe this nonsense."
"If cousin Gao Xu studies hard, the sun will really shine in the west."
"If my cousin said it was too late to hunt, we would believe him."
All the emperors and grandsons laughed and made jokes.
Only Zhu Yunwen said: "Mr. Fang just said: A gentleman does not avoid people's beauty and does not talk about people's evil. Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. We should not laugh at others' shortcomings."
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoru's eyes lit up and he praised Zhu Yunwen: "Learning should not be just words in the mind. Only when the emperor and grandson can apply what they have learned and turn what they have learned into practice will what Fang taught become valuable."
Zhu Yunwen cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I am so unworthy of the compliment."
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang's face looked much better.
But as Zhu Gaoxu snored, the lecture seemed to be unable to continue, so Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked Fang Xiaoru to retreat.
Well, now it's Zhu Gaoxu's turn to be depressed.
It seems that he has become Zhu Yunwen's stepping stone again, allowing Zhu Yunwen to show off in front of the Holy Master.
Originally the lecture might have ended like this.
But it was rare that so many grandsons gathered in the palace. On a whim, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Okay, today's lecture is over. It's still early. I'm here to test your talents. Seeing that you don't want to listen, I won't take the test." For that matter, let’s talk about practical issues.”
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that reading was very important. Reading makes people know etiquette and make them wise.
But the ability to actually solve problems is also very important and is indispensable.
All the princes were sitting upright, waiting to hear the questions.
It's good to show off in front of the emperor's grandfather.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "Recently, there have been heavy rains in many places, and the water level has risen sharply. Quzhou is already in danger of floods. Let's talk about how to control the water."
The problem is down,
All the princes fell into deep thought.
Answering according to the ordinary flood control methods must be too ordinary.
The scene was very quiet for a while, no one stood up to answer.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu stood up and attracted everyone's attention.
"I am the Imperial Grandfather."
Zhu Gaoxu seemed a little excited and stood up immediately.
Because there was this question in the letter that his brother-in-law lent him not long ago, and it had a detailed answer.
Didn't you just make the emperor's grandfather angry?
Now is a good time to show up.
"Second brother, have you forgotten what our father told you?"
Zhu Gaochi pulled the second child's clothes and said in a very low voice.
Zhu Gaoxu disagreed. After all, he had the answer from his brother-in-law. Who is his brother-in-law? That's all-powerful.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this guy standing up, he frowned and said, "Gao Xu, tell me."
"I"
Zhu Gaoxu was about to speak when he suddenly realized that he had not read what he had written for a few days and had forgotten it.
He thought of the third child Zhu Gaosui's method of escaping feces and urine, and immediately changed his words: "My grandson has a stomachache and wants to go to the toilet."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Suddenly there was another burst of laughter.
"Go away!" Zhu Yuanzhang cursed.
"My grandson retreated first, but Grandfather, my grandson has great opinions. I will come and tell you after I finish using the toilet."
After saying that, Zhu Gaoxu ran away quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, thinking that he was really lazy and peed a lot.
Soon, after thinking about it for a while, the other emperors and grandsons began to express their opinions.
And Zhu Gaoxu.
Squatting in the latrine, he took out the letter from his brother-in-law from his chest.
I found a solution to the flood problem and started to memorize it silently.
But his memory is obviously not very good.
This mark lasts for two quarters of an hour.
After writing it down, Zhu Gaoxu immediately turned around and ran back to the palace.
"Grandfather, my grandson has solved the problem. Now we can talk about the problem just now."
Zhu Gaoxu ran back and immediately wanted to show off in front of the imperial grandfather.
However, everyone seemed a little silent.
Because the problem just now is over.
Now we have reached the second question.
"Second brother, it's over. Please calm down and sit down."
Zhu Gaochi, a big man with a head full of anxiety, hurriedly pulled Zhu Gaoxu back to his seat.
"you say."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "I want to see what kind of flowers you can tell when you go to the toilet."
"Yes, Grandfather!"
Zhu Gaoxu was particularly excited, finally having a chance to perform.
He coughed twice, cleared his throat, stood up straight, and talked:
"Grandfather, the conventional management methods are nothing more than repairing river embankments, opening warehouses for disaster relief, and rebuilding homes, but my grandson has different opinions."
"Sun'er believes that flood control should be divided into three measures."
"They are: prevention, reduction, recovery."
The words fell,
Everyone looked at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise, it was not like he could say anything.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled proudly and continued:
"The first is prevention. The most important thing is to nip it before it happens. Whenever there is a flood, it is too late to deal with it. The disaster should be nipped in the bud!"
"Throughout the dynasties, floods have been caused by excessive water in the rainy season, melting ice and snow in winter, and rising water levels, making the dams unable to withstand the heavy pressure."
"But in fact, the most important reason is that the trees on both sides of the bank have been severely cut down, resulting in loose soil, soil erosion, and flooding!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and asked: "You mean, the cutting down of trees on both sides of the bank will cause the dam to become fragile?"
"That's right!"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "There is a difference between the land under the trees and the land without trees! The root system between the trees can form a net bag effect, which is like a big net intersecting, firmly grasping the land and having an anchoring effect. Such land Stronger!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his mind that this seemed to be the case.
Land with trees is land. Many wastelands without trees have turned into sand over time. Is this the reason?
"Hey, it seems to make sense!!"
"Yes, I feel that way too. Where there are many trees, the land looks solid."
"The roots of trees are indeed intertwined. The root systems of many trees are intertwined and can grab the soil. It's a bit like this."
The other princes and grandsons present also whispered.
Zhu Gaochi was a little shocked.
When did the second brother become so smart?
This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang heard this theory, and he suddenly became interested and said: "Go on."
Then, he looked at the prince next to him and ordered: "Write it down and write it on paper."
Zhu Gaoxu cupped his hands and continued:
"The roots of trees intertwine to form a net that holds the land in place. It's just one of them."
"Secondly, the tree canopy is also in pieces, like a big umbrella, preventing strong rain from directly splashing on the land and preventing the land from being splashed and becoming soft."
"Everyone must have seen that when it rains heavily, the raindrops are so powerful that they smash the land into sticky mud. This is why."
"Therefore, we only need to stop logging on both sides of the river and plant more trees to prevent soil erosion and stabilize the land, making it less likely to become a flood."
"This is prevention! The most important thing is that as long as the prevention is good, there will be no flooding!"
After listening.
Everyone in the audience was shocked.
Because when everyone answered this question just now, their answers were pretty much the same.
Zhu Gaoxu's answer was completely different from everyone else's.
And it seems very reasonable!
It turns out that flooding often occurs because of the felling of trees on both sides of the river.
If this is really the case, if logging is prohibited and more trees are planted, wouldn’t floods across the country be reduced by half?
And it's not difficult.
How much disaster relief money will this reduce for the court? ? ?
"well said!"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like this grandson, his answer was reasonable. If just planting trees can reduce floods, he should do it immediately! !
"Go on."
"Yes, Grandfather."
Zhu Gaoxu then talked about two more points: reduction and restoration.
After saying that, everyone in the house was shocked.
Who would have thought that Zhu Gaoxu, who was full of muscles, could actually speak eloquently.
Zhu Yuanzhang was completely shocked.
All the methods mentioned seem feasible and very reasonable.
"Who did you learn this from?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"It's Hui Huang's grandfather, and it was the grandson who figured it out on his own."
Zhu Gaoxu replied.
"That's right, Gao Xu, I really underestimate you. It seems that although you are not good at reading, you have your own ideas on solving this pragmatic problem."
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang's favorable impression of Zhu Gaoxu improved a lot.
"You have another question for me. I ask you, if it is a drought, how should we solve it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Grandson."
Zhu Gaoxu was confused. This didn't follow the routine. Why did you ask me directly?
Fortunately, there are answers here.
But I don’t remember it.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
"My grandson has a stomachache. It's because of bad food." Zhu Gaoxu covered his stomach.
"Go back quickly, I'm waiting for you." Zhu Yuanzhang was now extremely patient.
"yes."
After Zhu Gaoxu left, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why does Gao Xu have to go to the toilet when he asks a question?
What a coincidence?
He decided to find out.
Obviously, this method of escaping shit and urine is not very effective for Zhu Yuanzhang.
"You just wait, I'll come as soon as I go."
As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang strode over and followed secretly.
Zhu Gaoxu went to the "Yuanzhong toilet", where the princes went to the toilet.
After Zhu Yuanzhang left, he waved his hand and asked the eunuch quietly where Zhu Gaoxu was.
Taijia remained calm and pointed lightly.
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang walked slowly.
The eunuch brought a stool, and Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the stool and watched.
Through the open space above the door, I found Zhu Gaoxu, a boy holding a piece of paper and mumbling, as if he was memorizing something.
"Sure enough, there is a ghost. This kid actually has the answer?"
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang jumped off the stool.
Aim at the toilet door.
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
Zhu Gaoxu was startled and immediately stuffed the paper into his chest.
"I just feel like there's something wrong with you, how could you possibly come up with such a wonderful idea."
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Gaoxu seriously and stretched out his hand: "Take it and show it to me. It actually has the skills to govern the country."
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.
What's going on? Why did the emperor's grandfather come to the toilet to catch him?
"Bring it here!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
"Oh" Zhu Gaoxu obediently handed over the papers.
Zhu Yuanzhang took it and took a look.
Immediately everyone was stunned.
The above is densely packed with various solutions to practical problems.
Every plan is as mysterious and very reasonable as what Zhu Gaoxu just said.
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Where did it come from?"
Zhu Gaoxu: "I wrote it myself, just thinking about it blindly."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Fart, do you still need to hide in Maokeng and memorize it?"
Zhu Gaoyu: "The grandson is not good."
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Maokeng: "Bading the king is a dead crime, believe it or not, now press you in this pit, and let your father collect your corpse."
Zhu Gaoyu: "Brother -in -law gave."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Which brother -in -law?"
Zhu Gaoyu: "Sister Li Xiao."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "? ???!"
