What does it feel like to be hit on the back? I can only say that it hurts and is a little hot, but it’s okay. Zhu Biao, who is lying on Zhu Ping’s body, feels it silently. This is the first time in his life that he has been beaten since he was born. It’s inexplicable. Quite fresh.
I don't know if Lao Zhu practiced this technique when he was in the army, or if it was developed by his eldest sons over the years. Anyway, the sound sounds loud, but it actually doesn't require much effort.
Otherwise, Zhu Xiang would have been beaten for so long, and his pelvis would have been broken long ago. It can be seen that Lao Zhu still killed the chicken to scare the monkeys in order to improve his memory. If I am not wrong, the third and fourth children will arrive soon.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a lot of noise around him. Zhu Biao thought it was dark, and the surroundings were densely packed with people. He caressed his back slightly and turned around, but he couldn't see the figure of his father.
"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down. We can't fight anymore. What if we hurt the country? If your Majesty is angry, just beat the slaves..."
"The Queen is here, the Queen is here. Please put your dragon body first and calm down the anger of the thunder. Let's listen to what the Queen has to say first."
"Go and call the imperial doctor quickly. His Royal Highness is injured. Go and call the imperial doctor quickly!"
"The Holy One should stop being angry because His Highness the Crown Prince cares so much about brotherhood. Servants, please, please..."
At this time, everyone could see that the emperor was really angry. He was even willing to beat himself up. For fear of something bigger happening again, they hurriedly rushed forward, hugging his legs and using them as human shields. No one dared to touch the wooden stick in the emperor's hand.
A slave is a slave after all. You can persuade, beg, and block with your body, but you can never and never have the courage to snatch the weapon from the master's hand.
Zhu Biao sat up, but saw that Zhu Chong had made no movement. He had obviously fainted again. He probably thought that his father was really going to beat him to death, and even his eldest brother couldn't stop him. It showed that he was really going to be cold this time. Then he fainted from fear.
Empress Ma and Concubine Li finally arrived in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Concubine Li could not see her son's condition at this time. She only glanced at the emperor's angry face, then let out a cry and fell to the ground softly, sobbing. cry.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Er is your own son no matter what, why are you willing to beat him to death, my son!"
Queen Ma continued to walk forward with a solemn expression. The eunuchs kneeling on the ground along the way happily made way for them, praying that the Queen could stop the Holy Emperor, otherwise they really didn't know what to do.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still breathing heavily at this time. He kicked countless eunuchs away, but they were like dog skin plaster. After being kicked, they fell back and immediately crawled back to hug his legs and cried for mercy.
Empress Ma stepped forward and directly took the blood-stained wooden stick in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and looked firmly into her husband's eyes. The emperor was now furious, and his eyes were bloodshot and red. Anyone who took a look at them would tremble with guilt and fear. Lower your head.
But Queen Ma dared to look directly into those intimidating and powerful eyes. After the couple made eye contact for a few seconds, Queen Ma knew in her heart that her husband had not lost his mind due to anger.
These people were afraid because it was rare to see the emperor so furious, but for Empress Ma, this was nothing unusual. Starting from being ostracized by her adoptive father Guo Zixing, the couple walked hand in hand step by step to reach their current position of supremacy. How many hardships and hardships have I experienced, how much pressure I cannot tell outsiders.
During those years, she comforted her husband internally so that he could calm down his anger and make the most correct choices with the most rational attitude. Externally, she allowed him to maintain the image of a wise, wise, mighty and decisive perfect monarch in front of his advisers and generals. This was Empress Ma's most important role. The main task.
Only she understood the most helpless, angry, and dark side of Zhu Yuanzhang. She did not hide or cover up, nor suppressed. She tolerated and understood with the greatest warmth, and resolved the hostility accumulated by Zhu Yuanzhang for more than 20 years, and gave him a place to settle down. s home.
Just as all the eunuchs, maids, and concubines expected, the majestic and angry face of the Holy Emperor gradually softened, and the wooden stick in his hand was easily snatched away by the Queen. Everyone's hearts relaxed, and their bodies trembled and they let out a breath. They were about to The heart that jumped out of his throat fell back to its original position, and his body felt a little warm, as if the sky had cleared up after the rain.
Empress Ma took the wooden stick and ordered directly: "You all get out of the way and ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat King Jin. The fainted concubines will be sent back to their respective palaces for shelter. If they don't wake up for half an hour, please ask the imperial doctor..."
With the sound of promises, the chaos just now subsided with the arrival of the backbone, and everyone returned to their posts. The Queen is the anchor of the palace.
Undoubtedly, His Majesty the Emperor is the one that everyone respects the most, but the Empress is the Empress whom they respect the most. Since the first year of Wu, countless maids and eunuchs have received great kindness from Empress Ma.
At this time, Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zhang also arrived, followed by the third and fourth elders. When they arrived, what they saw was the emperor standing there still angry, the queen holding a blood-stained wooden stick, and several concubines being carried away. A group of people dispersed to reveal the blood-stained ground. Jin Wang Zhu Zhen lay motionless on the ground bleeding, and Prince Zhu Biao sat on the ground with a bright red stick shadow printed on his back...
The four people's faces all turned pale. Chu King Zhu Di had the urge to run away. Qi King Zhu Di was also fighting with two sides and almost wanted to leave first. After moving out of the palace, the three brothers were basically inseparable. The second brother was at fault. Can you still escape them?
After all, the two imperial doctors were well-informed. After a few steps and bowing, they quickly rushed forward to check on the bodies of the two highnesses. How the emperor wanted to deal with the princes had nothing to do with them, but the princes must not be in front of them. any question.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at the two brothers who had just walked in. The two brothers knelt on the ground with their legs weak and their heads pressed against the ground of the imperial garden: "Son... My son, please pay homage to my father...Father..."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and felt dissatisfied. We are your dear father, and we didn't say what we were going to do to you, so why did you behave like this in fear?
Moreover, the two brothers are on the ground, and they are afraid of me. Shouldn't it be more urgent to step forward to care about the brothers' health, or to intercede on their behalf?
So Leng Ran said: "The reason we asked you to move out of the palace was because your eldest brother interceded for you. He said that there were many rules in the palace and it was hard to learn bow and horse diligently. He also said that you would definitely study hard after you go out and you would never be extravagant. He is greedy for pleasure and wastes his efforts, but why are he so stupid now!"
"Just now we called the second brother to take a look. His face was weak and his expression was sluggish. He couldn't respond to any of the questions asked. At first glance, he looked like his body had been drained by wine and sex. Okay, we didn't even have enough to eat when we were young. You guys These bastards at this young age have already learned how to be sensual and sensual, and they have learned all the trashy things from the previous era!"
The two people below kept trembling and begging for mercy, but Zhu Biao, who was receiving treatment from Imperial Physician Liu, twitched the corner of his mouth and looked back at Zhu Ping, who had not yet woken up. He indeed had dark circles under his eyes. Everyone goes to bed early, and those who can get dark circles are either busy with official duties or fighting with goblins...
What kind of official business does Zhu Xi have to deal with, and the half-year-old is at the time when his body is recovering the fastest. The fact that his black circle is so conspicuous and his chin bones are slimming out shows that he has indeed been overworked recently.
Empress Ma also walked up to the two of them to inquire. Doctor Liu carefully examined and inquired and whispered, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Highness is fine. Just go back and apply some plaster for three days."
Queen Ma didn't care that her son was here. Since her husband was not as angry as he showed, it was impossible to be cruel to her darling. It was probably the father and son who had some bad intentions.
Doctor Zhang fumbled for a long time and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, is fine. No bones were injured. Although the skin and flesh injuries look a bit more serious, he will be able to go to the ground after recuperating on a collapsed bed for more than a month."
Zhu Biao also stood up with his knees propped up. He didn't receive this stick just to impress Zhu Chong. After all, with his status, it didn't matter whether he was the King of Jin or his mother, Concubine Li.
It's just to spread it out to the world. The royal family is the leader of the clans in the world. In this era, clans are the most important part of society. The whole world is composed of big clans and small clans.
Clan plays a role in stabilizing social order and reducing the administrative costs of the court. It is basically the most basic administrative department. The reason why the imperial power does not go to the countryside is because in rural clans, clan rules are easier to apply than court laws.
The vast majority of the people are illiterate. Three generations of their ancestors may have never left their hometown or town, and they may not even know who the current emperor is, but they must know their family elders and obey their orders.
If you want to educate a clan, you must first cater to their ideas and then influence them. The most important clan rule of any clan must be clan harmony, unity, mutual assistance, brotherhood, and love, because this is the fundamental reason for the formation of a clan.
In an era when natural and man-made disasters are rampant and individuals are like duckweeds, freedom is undoubtedly the most useless thing. Only by uniting together with blood can we have the strength to face difficulties.
The Zhu family is now the most powerful clan in the Ming Dynasty, but its bloodline is still a bit thin, so it must be united, or at least show unity. There are many things in this world that seem unimportant, but are actually very important.
Emperors of all dynasties would suppress and protect members of the clan because they feared that they would seek power and usurp the throne. After all, as a royal family, unlike those with foreign surnames who would seize power, they did meet the basic conditions for becoming emperor, so they must be suppressed and suppressed at all times to suppress their development and growth. .
The maintenance is a bit strange. It is obviously very dangerous, and he is definitely guilty. The emperor, who is obviously murderous and decisive on other issues, has uniformly shown resistance and defense when facing the clan's violation of the law. He insists on asking the ministers of the court. Invite again, refuse again and again, and finally have no choice but to kill with tears...
