Zhu Di gave the order, and the captain in Jinyi behind him immediately took action. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiaopang Dun jumped off the dragon chair and ran away with his short legs.
"Catch him, don't let him escape!"
Zhu Di's furious voice echoed throughout the hall.
The accompanying captains in Jinyi and the palace officials were wary and did not dare to attack His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson. They could only pursue and intercept him all the way.
However, the little fat man was as slippery as a loach, slithering through the crowd, causing a crackling sound to be heard in the hall.
"Grandpa Huang, spare your life, I don't dare to do it anymore..."
Little Fatty's begging for mercy rang out in the hall. He ran away and screamed, causing destruction along the way.
The scene was extremely chaotic for a time, and Zhu Di turned pale with anger.
He picked up the golden-winged roc that had been smashed into gold cakes, and then picked up the globe that was smashed in half by a box. Seeing that the good globe was smashed in half by this little bastard, Zhu Di suddenly felt sad and angry.
"Wrongful act~"
"Quickly, catch this little bastard. I'm going to clean up the house today."
"I don't dare, I really don't dare. Grandpa Huang, please forgive me."
No matter how slippery Zhu Zhanji was, he was only a five-year-old child after all. There were not many places for him to escape in the main hall. After a while, he was blocked in a corner by the palace people and the Jinyi captain.
"Grandpa Huang, please forgive me~"
Zhu Zhanji, who was blocked in the corner, looked horrified.
He had obviously calculated the time. The emperor used to spend at least half an hour eating with the courtiers, which was enough for him to observe the globe and then escape back to the harem, which shouldn't be the case.
Why come back suddenly?
Zhu Di held a broken globe in one hand, and the palm of the other hand sometimes looked like a claw and sometimes was a fist. His chest rose and fell slightly, and he was breathing heavily from his nostrils.
The already slightly dark face looked as if it had swallowed charcoal, and was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He carefully put the globe fragments back on the table and looked around. He happened to have a bamboo stick at hand for playing with the palace lantern.
Without thinking, Zhu Di picked up the bamboo stick and got into the crowd. He grabbed the collar of the little fat man and the bamboo stick in his hand fell on his buttocks like raindrops.
"Pa bang bang~"
"Ah~"
"Oh~ Grandpa Huang, please spare your life!"
Little Fatty's wails spread out of the hall, immediately attracting the attention of the five ministers.
In the harem, Chen Kan and Zhu Yuelan sat on their knees in front of Queen Xu, listening to Queen Xu's warnings.
Zhu Yuelan's little ears twitched slightly, and suddenly she asked suspiciously: "Mother, husband, have you heard the cry?"
Queen Xu paused for a moment, then shook her head: "I didn't hear you."
Chen Kan said calmly: "Perhaps His Highness is hallucinating. There is no sound of crying or howling in the harem."
Hearing this, Queen Xu asked with concern: "Are you tired? Do you want to rest in the palace for a day?"
Zhu Yuelan shook her head and bowed to Empress Xu Yingying: "Mother, it's getting late, so my son and husband will go back first, and wait until Yuan Zheng comes to see you and your father."
Empress Xu smiled and said: "They say that a married daughter throws away the water. This is absolutely true. Once you have a husband, you don't need the father and the mother."
Zhu Yuelan said softly: "No way, Queen Mother is not allowed to talk nonsense."
"Hehehe, okay, you go ahead, the palace door will be locked if it's too late."
Empress Xu laughed, and Chen Kan and Zhu Yuelan bowed to her again, then stood up and left Kunning Palace.
Walking out of the moon gate of the harem, suspicion appeared on Zhu Yuelan's little face again: "Husband, why do I always hear a vague cry, and the voice is still very familiar?"
Chen Kan held her hand and said calmly: "Maybe she is too tired. This is the palace. How can anyone cry in the palace?"
After listening to Chen Kan's words, the suspicion on Zhu Yuelan's face became more intense: "No, someone is really crying, and the sound seems to be coming from Fengtian Palace."
After saying that, Zhu Yuelan stepped forward and walked in the direction of the sound.
Chen Kan followed behind her with a wicked smile on his face.
Of course he heard the cry, it was from the chubby Zhu Zhanji.
If nothing else, he should have been whipped by Zhu Di.
Since she wanted to find out what was going on, Chen Kan could only choose to accompany her, just in time to see the miserable condition of Little Fatty and satisfy his bad taste.
The two came to the entrance of Fengtian Hall, and sure enough, Little Fatty's loud cry came from inside.
Zhu Yuelan was shocked and ran into the hall regardless of his manners.
The two entered the side hall and saw the chubby Zhu Zhanji being pushed on the table, with his white butt exposed. Zhu Di was holding a bamboo stick and hitting his buttocks again and again.
The palace servants and guards guarding the side hall turned their backs to the grandfather and grandson in a tacit understanding, watching the sky and pretending to be blind.
There were already many streaks on Little Fatty's snow-white buttocks. They were blue and purple, which looked scary. There were tears and snot on his face. When Zhu Di slapped him, he stretched out his neck and screamed.
Zhu Di had a stinky face. He had been controlling his strength. It was naturally impossible for him to beat his great grandson to death, but it would be impossible if he didn't beat him. If he didn't beat him, he wouldn't have a long memory.
This time it really pissed him off.
As soon as Zhu Yuelan stepped into the door, Little Fatty's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior, and he shouted with tears in his eyes: "Sister-in-law, help me, Grandpa Huang wants to beat me to death."
As soon as he said this, Zhu Di's face turned a little darker, and the strength in his hands unconsciously increased by three points.
"Ouch~"
This time it really hurt him, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Sister-in-law, help me, I know I'm wrong~"
Zhu Yuelan was a little girl after all. When she saw Zhu Zhanji's miserable condition, she was instantly frightened and turned pale.
He quickly begged: "Father, we can't fight anymore. Please, please stop."
"Woooooo~"
Hearing Zhu Yuelan plead for him, Zhu Zhanji burst into tears and begged for mercy: "Grandpa Huang, please spare me, I won't dare to do it again?"
Zhu Yuelan suddenly became worried when she heard Little Fatty's cry, and quickly hugged Zhu Di's arm: "Father, he knows he made a mistake. You, sir, have a lot of money. Can you give him another chance to change?"
"Oh~ I was wrong, I was wrong, Grandpa Huang, please spare me, wuwu~"
Chen Kan held his hands and watched this scene with interest. This little fat guy should be taught a lesson. It would be best if he could be hung up with a rope and whipped.
However, looking at Zhu Di's appearance, he probably couldn't see Fatty being hung up and whipped.
Zhu Di originally just wanted to teach this little bastard a lesson, but now that he was stopped by Zhu Yuelan, he borrowed the help of Poxia Donkey, threw the bamboo stick in his hand, and angrily snorted: "Huh, do you know this little bastard is going to do it this time?" How much trouble did you cause me?"
Seeing Zhu Di withering away, Chen Kan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
When you spank your child, you have to spank him in one go, otherwise he won't have a long memory.
Of course, Chen Kan was just thinking about this in his heart.
He pretended to be confused and stepped forward to plead: "Your Majesty, I don't know what trouble His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson got into. If it's not a big deal, please spare him this time."
As soon as he said this, Chen Kan could feel a grateful glance towards him.
Chen Kan smiled secretly in his heart, but with a look that was good for him, he asked again: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson is very smart, but this time maybe he was impulsive..."
"Hmph, do you know what trouble he got into this time?"
Zhu Di interrupted Chen Kan angrily. Although Chen Kan knew it well, he still pretended to be confused and asked: "What did His Majesty the Emperor Changsun do to make His Majesty so angry?"
Zhu Yuelan quickly calmed down Zhu Di, helped him back to sit on the dragon chair, and consoled him: "Father, calm down, you are so angry that your body is not worth it. I don't know what trouble Xiao Zhanji got into, so I asked my daughter to help." You teach him a lesson."
Zhu Di became angry when he mentioned this. He picked up the fragments of the globe that were broken into several pieces on the table and threw them at Zhu Zhanji. He said angrily: "Humph, look at the good things he has done. This globe is not even covered in my hands." He is like this, I think he wants to make me angry to death."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Kan helped Zhu Zhanji put on his pants, helped him stand in front of Zhu Di, and then said with a smile: "Hey, that's it. Father-in-law, don't worry. If this breaks, it will break. Another day." My son-in-law will make one exactly the same for you."
Zhu Zhanji secretly looked at Zhu Di, then moved closer to Chen Kan, pulled Chen Kan's sleeve and whispered: "I...I want one too."
When Zhu Di saw this, he pointed at Zhu Zhanji and said angrily: "You little bastard, you still have the nerve to speak?"
Seeing Zhu Di with his hair and beard sprouting, Xiao Pang Dun was so frightened that he hid behind Chen Kan.
Chen Kan hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, father-in-law, my son-in-law has firmly memorized the details of the globe. I will make a bigger and more exquisite one for you tomorrow."
The globe itself was an urgent product that Chen Kan made in a hurry today. It is normal that the quality is not good. It was given to Zhu Di for viewing purposes only.
Even if Zhu Zhanji didn't mess it up, Chen Kan planned to make a larger and more accurate one to present as a gift during Yuan Zheng's reign.
To put it simply, this globe is just a tool used by Chen Kan to test Zhu Di's attitude.
Now that the purpose of punishing the little fat man has been achieved, and he has also gained a wave of favorability, Chen Kan continued: "Of course, if His Highness wants it, I will make a few more in a few days and give one to you."
Zhu Yuelan also cheered Zhu Dishun and said: "Yes, father, please calm down. Chen Kan can still make this globe anyway, so you can just give him a small lesson."
"You...just spoil him! Humph!"
"Hmph, since Chen Kan and your sister-in-law plead for you, I will punish you by not allowing you to go out of the palace to play for three months. Let's stop this matter and get out of here. I will get angry when I see you."
The daughter and son-in-law begged for mercy at the same time. No matter how angry Zhu Di was, he could only give him a symbolic punishment.
"Yes, Grandpa Huang taught you the right lesson, but your grandson knows he was wrong."
Hearing this, Xiao Pangdun's face suddenly fell.
What is the difference between staying in the palace for three months and not being able to leave, and going to jail?
It's just that he really didn't have the guts to refute any more, so he could only shake his little head and sigh as he limped towards the harem.
When Little Fatty walked away, Zhu Yuelan and Chen Kan looked at each other and prepared to say goodbye to Zhu Di and leave the palace.
They were going home originally, and it was just a coincidence that they came to plead for Zhu Zhanji.
But before the two of them could speak, Zhu Di said calmly: "Your Majesty, you go out first, and I will have a few words with Chen Kan."
Zhu Yuelan was a little surprised and drove her daughter out to talk to her son-in-law. What kind of operation was this? Have I fallen out of favor?
But there was no doubt about Zhu Di's words, so Zhu Yuelan had no choice but to walk out the door gloomily.
When Zhu Yuelan walked away, Zhu Di pointed to the stool and said, "Sit down."
Chen Kan sat down as he said. He was a little confused. What was Zhu Di doing? Why did he have to say it behind his daughter's back?
"Chen Kan, I have asked Ma He to go to Japan."
Zhu Di spoke, his face a little solemn.
Hearing this, Chen Kan was stunned at first, and then asked: "Your Majesty sent General Ma to the Japanese country, but for Shi Jian Yinshan?"
Zhu Di said: "Yes, Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are flooding now, and there have been situations where treasure banknotes are not as valuable as paper on the market. However, the Ming Dynasty's copper coins are never enough. If a large amount of silver can flow into the Ming Dynasty, I want to... ban treasure money." Money..."
Chen Kan nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Zhu Di realized the dangers of treasure money, but what did this have to do with him?
Zhu Di continued: "I asked you to stay because I want to ask you, does the Japanese country really have an inexhaustible mountain of silver?"
Just when Chen Kan was about to nod, he saw Zhu Di frown and said lightly: "Don't lie to me. If you just said it to make me happy, if you confess now, I won't punish you."
Chen Kan suddenly felt humiliated.
What do you mean, does Zhu Di suspect that he is lying?
He rubbed his neck and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, everything I said is absolutely true, but if there is a lie, I am willing to kill you at your neck."
The existence of Iwami Yinshan is an unchangeable fact. If the Japanese country did not have that Yinshan Mountain, it would have been impossible to overtake in corners in that era when all heroes came together. These are facts that Chen Kan has seen with his own eyes, and now Zhu Di was actually doubting him!
So insulting.
Zhu Di was startled by Chen Kan's sudden seriousness and frowned: "Can I think that you are issuing a military order?"
"Can!"
Chen Kan’s answer was concise and clear.
But Zhu Di was a little confused. What if this boy lied to me and my daughter had just married him. Do I really want to kill him with a knife?
And the way this kid spoke so confidently didn't look like he was lying.
"That's all, let's wait for the news about Ma He. It's just a trip to Japan. It won't take long. If you really find Yinshan in Japan, I will count it as a great achievement for you."
Zhu Di thought about it again and again, but decided not to take this boy's words seriously, lest this boy actually spill blood and make his delicate little girl a widow because of one sentence.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I am 100% sure."
Chen Kan raised his hand to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di's face twitched again. This boy really doesn't know how to borrow a donkey from the slope.
