"Tell me what's going on." Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair with a golden sword and looked at Zhu Xi majestically.
Zhu Xi: "..."
At this time, Zhu Xi felt weak in his heart and his legs were weak.
And there is still some pain in my body.
It's the kind of pain that comes from being slapped by a big shoe.
Thinking of that kind of scene, Zhu Xiang's teeth ached.
But he also knew that this matter... couldn't be avoided.
Ever since yesterday's incident, he knew that the beating would fall on him sooner or later.
But people always like to do things to escape.
So, Zhu Ping asked for leave from today's morning meeting.
Facts have proved that human experience is still very useful.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him with a knife. Zhu Ping shrank his head and explained everything that happened yesterday.
"But we really didn't mean it. We don't know why the horse, which was obviously good, suddenly got frightened." Zhu Fang had a sad face. For such a big man, he almost cried in front of everyone.
"You fart! You're sitting on a horse, and the reins are in your hands. Don't you know what's going on?" Zuo Chong raised his eyebrows and pointed at Zhu Ping, pretending to hit him again.
If it weren't for the several ministers around him who stopped him, Zhu Ping would have been slapped twice.
Zhu Xi shrank behind Chu Ze very spinelessly.
But his defensive voice was still loud: "Are we the kind of people who dare to do things that we should not do? If we really did it, just admit it directly, but why should we admit it if we didn't do it? Besides, your son After he was injured, it was the imperial doctor we hired for him!" After speaking, Zhu Ping's voice weakened again.
Mainly, he was indeed at fault in this matter.
Even if he didn't mean it, it was his horse that hurt people.
He cannot run away from this responsibility.
Zhu Xi could not hold his breath for less than a minute, and then he honestly lowered his head.
It's okay that he didn't say this. As soon as Zhu Feng finished speaking, Zuo Chong became angry again: "The imperial doctor is useless! After the imperial doctor Jiang saw our son's leg, he shook his head and said that our son's leg will be lame for the rest of his life! Pity our son, he is in his prime, but you have made him crippled!"
"Master Yu, please let go of us! We have to give him a good beating for his father today!" Seeing that Zuo Chong couldn't get away, he bent down to take off his shoes.
Zhu Xi: "..."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark when he heard this.
Yu Ji also quickly persuaded in a low voice: "Old Zuo, what are you talking nonsense about? His Highness made a mistake, and the Emperor has taught him a lesson. How can it be your turn?"
Do you dare to say that you will teach the emperor’s son a lesson?
Can you say this casually?
As a reminder, Yu Xi pinched Zuo Chong hard and kept gesturing towards Zuo Chong with his eyes.
Zuo Chong was angry, but after being reminded by Yu Xi, his mind suddenly cleared up and cold sweat broke out.
He raised his head cautiously and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Hiss~
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he was looking at him coldly.
Zuo Chong was shocked, knelt down with a plop, and said straightly: "I deserve to die."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened slightly.
But he didn't ask Zuo Chong to get up, and deliberately made him kneel for a while as punishment for his indiscriminate words.
"Zhu Cang." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Cang.
Zhu Fang shrank his head and moved out from behind Chu Ze, his speed comparable to that of a snail.
Chu Zexian glanced at the snail behind him and took a considerate step to the side. The next second, Zhu Chong was exposed to Zhu Yuanzhang's sight.
"Damn it, I asked you to stay in Beijing just because I wanted you to learn some rules and know some things. When you got here, you just settled down for a few days, and then you turned around and rode around in the street without saying a word, and even maimed someone. "Zhu Yuanzhang took off one of his shoes, stood up from the dragon chair suddenly, and rushed towards Zhu Ping with large strides. The wind brought by him blew the corners of his clothes into the air.
Before anyone could react, Zhu Xi was hit several times.
Zhu Ping was beaten so hard that he ran away with his head in his arms and kept begging for mercy: "Dad, Dad, we really didn't mean it!"
"You can break someone's legs even if it's not intentional. If it's intentional, you're not allowed to kill people?! It seems that I usually don't care about you too much. You're itchy. Let me give you some slack today! You You stinky boy, stop here!"
Zhu Xi could only stop when his brain was filled with water.
The majestic emperor, when he went to court in the morning, chased his traitor around the palace five times.
The ministers looked at it and didn't feel much surprised.
Zuo Chong still knelt on the ground and applauded.
Also extremely bold.
Chu Ze clasped his hands in front of him and stood silently in the hall watching the show.
Zhu Di and Zhu Biao looked at each other, but Zhu Biao finally stopped him.
Zhu Di didn't dare to go.
If he goes, Father will definitely beat him too.
Only Zhu Biao.
He stopped Zhu Yuanzhang and was reluctant to beat him.
Seeing that someone was helping, Zhu Feng took advantage of the opportunity and ran behind Chu Ze, gasping and scolding him for his lack of loyalty.
Chu Ze looked innocent: "Have you ever heard of such a sentence?"
"What words?"
"A dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist."
Zhu Ming: "...You can do it. Next time you get beaten, don't expect us to help you."
"Don't worry, we are not you."
Zhu Xi said again: "..."
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for our son." Zhu Ping was beaten, but his wounds were not even considered flesh wounds. How could he compare with his Ying'er's injuries? Zuo Chong knocked his head heavily and cried out in tears, "Our son's future is ruined like this! He may not even be able to get a wife in the future!"
At this point, Zuo Chong cried even more miserably: "Our son is useless, and we have no hope of taking the exams for fame. But our Zuo family is a single lineage, so we will point to him to carry on the family lineage and pass on the incense to our Zuo family." !”
Zhu Yuanzhang had a headache.
He just hit Zhu Ming not only because he was angry.
It was also called to Zuo Chong.
I just hope this old guy can find some sense and stop clinging to him.
Then he would comfort her, give her some compensation, and send a few royal doctors to take a good look at her, and the matter would be over.
No matter what he said, Zhu Xi was still his son.
As a parent, it is impossible not to think about your son.
But he forgot that Zuo Chong was not afraid of him.
If he didn't like it, he would dare to directly resist the order.
With his current attitude, he obviously wants to pursue him to the end.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Xi fiercely, turned to Zuo Chong and said: "Then what do you want, according to Master Zuo?"
Zuo Chong raised his head and immediately replied: "First, this happened because of Chu Ze, so he has to bear half of the responsibility, and five million taels of silver will be used as compensation. Isn't this excessive?"
Chu Ze looked over in shock.
Zuo Chong continued: "Second, as a prince, Zhu Xiang rode his horse to commit murder at the feet of the emperor. The emperor's discipline was not strict. The emperor is also responsible for this matter. The emperor paid our Ying'er two million taels for the decoction. That's okay, right? .
Chu Ze: "..."
Zuo Chong continued: "As the person who hurt others, His Highness bears the main responsibility. I want him to go to our home to take care of Ying'er until he recovers and pay Ying'er's maintenance fee of five million taels during this period. This is The emperor must be able to agree to the request."
Chu Ze's eyes changed when he looked at Zuo Chong.
He knew that this man loved money, but he didn't expect that he could love it to such a desperate degree.
The blame fell on the emperor's head.
I really need money at the expense of my life.
