Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 166 Ground 160 Chapter [-] Eunuch Qin, could it be you who told me the secret? (additional more)

Zhu Yunwen stared blankly at the alive and kicking frog on the table, only feeling that his mind was blank.

What the hell is this? There is no such question in the question bank given by the concubine!

The other princes and grandchildren were also stupefied with big capital letters on their faces, thinking, what's so good about a frog?

Only the princes who often catch toads with Zhu Zhi know frogs very well, and feel that they can write many poems.

"Let's do it!"

As soon as Lao Zhu finished speaking, Huang Zicheng immediately lit a piece of incense, and it took exactly a quarter of an hour for this kind of incense to burn.

Although a quarter of an hour is a bit short, poetry depends on quick wit and spirituality. Without that spirituality, even if you give it an hour, you still can't write a decent poem.

Zhu Yunxi immediately thought of the new Taizu's poem, and transcribed it on the paper with a full face, feeling that he would definitely win the first place today.

But after reading it a few times, he suddenly realized something was wrong. This poem was too imperial, if he handed it in, would he be beaten to death by Lao Zhu?
To be on the safe side, change to a less conspicuous one.

Zhu Yunxi gathered the poems he had written into a ball, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, secretly threw them into the wastebasket, and wrote a poem to fool him.

Lao Zhu took advantage of the time when everyone was composing poems, and reviewed another memorial, and wrote down his own opinions on how to deal with it.When he saw that the incense sticks had been burned, he immediately ordered someone to go down to collect the scrolls.

Not long after, Huang Zicheng handed dozens of test papers to Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu read them one by one.

Lao Zhu just read a few articles casually, and he knew that their Lao Zhu family had no seeds for reading.

Each of them wrote about something, and calling them doggerel would be an exaggeration.

Lao Zhu then sped up his speed, picking out the eldest grandson's first among all the test papers.

"One, two, three or four, five, six, seven or eight."

When Lao Zhu saw this, his brows were already frowned, and he even regretted that he had come in such a hurry that he forgot to bring his whip.

However, when he saw the last two sentences, his brows gradually relaxed, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Ten hundreds of thousands of duckweeds jump into the duckweed and disappear!"

"This poem..."

Lao Zhu hurriedly handed Zhu Yunxie's poem to Zhao Mian who was beside him as if presenting a treasure, and he dragged Mr. Zhao over to let him be the referee.

"Zhao Mian, what do you think of this poem?"

Zhao Mian took it over and looked at it, and frowned when he saw the first two sentences, but when he saw the last two sentences, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment and a turning point.

"This poem is also unique and exquisite, which is enough to show that His Royal Highness King Wu is quick-witted and quick-witted."

Old Zhu laughed triumphantly when he heard this, and then carefully put Dasun's poem aside.

Although this grandson was a little tricky, but fortunately the last sentence was reversed, otherwise he would have to be beaten a hundred times today!

Seeing Lao Zhu laughing heartily, Zhu Yunxi was secretly relieved, and finally got past the fool.

After Lao Zhu had read Dasun's poems, it was a bit perfunctory to read other people's poems, but when he saw Zhu Yunqi's poems, he still gave a "huh" in surprise.

"This poem..."

"Zhao Mian, why don't you come over and take a look at this song?"

Zhao Mian took the poem and glanced at it hurriedly.

"What a poem!"

"Your Majesty, this poem is very good!"

"It not only reflects the talents of His Royal Highness the Second Emperor, but also reflects his concern for the country and the people!"

After hearing this, Huang Zicheng couldn't help but craned his neck to look over.

He knew that Zhu Yunqi had cheated, and he also knew that "Singing the Frog" was not in the title of the poem he provided.

Therefore, as a gentleman, he is not at all sure whether Zhu Yunqi can write a poem about frogs well.

However, when he saw Zhu Yunwen's poems, he secretly thought that he was the first to be stable.

"There is little leisure in the field, and day and night."

"You can plant three or five ridges, and you can harvest one or two stones in autumn."

"If there is no lady in green, the insect food will be reduced by half."

"Thanks to having such a minister, Cathay Pacific is safe for the people."

"Your Majesty, at such an age, His Highness the Second Emperor's Grandson is able to compose such poems. It is indeed very rare!"

"Especially the concern for the peasants shown in the poem, isn't it just the people-oriented, benevolence and righteousness that His Majesty strives for?"

When Lao Zhu heard the flattery of the two, he didn't feel that he looked at Zhu Yunqi more, which made Zhu Yunqi blush with excitement.

Although Lao Zhu didn't want to admit it in his heart, but when the two poems were put together, it was obvious that Zhu Yunqi's poems were better.

Literary talent comes second, and the most rare thing is the conception of this poem, which is indeed a rare masterpiece.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the Huang Yu Ruyi he had carefully prepared, and secretly sighed in his heart. If there is no accident, the jade Ruyi can only be rewarded to Zhu Yunqi today.

Old Zhu put Zhu Yunqi's poems together with Dasun's, and then flipped through the poems of other people.With these two poems as a foundation, reading other people's poems will only feel vulgar.It wasn't until he saw Zhu Zhi's poem that the expression on his face changed again.

"Zhu Zhi!"

"My son is here!"

"Come on, drag this bad boy out and beat him twenty times!"

Zhu Zhi's face turned pale with fright when he heard this, and asked unwillingly.

"Father, why did you punish me? Is there something wrong with my son's poems?"

Old Zhu slapped Zhu Zhi's poems on the table heavily, staring at his two longan eyes and said angrily.

"You read it for everyone to hear!"

Zhu Zhi said unconvinced.

"Just read it!"

"He has green skin and shiny green skin, and his eyes are round and round."

"A bulging cheek is so cute, ten can make up a dish."

After Zhu Zhi finished reading his poems, everyone in the main hall burst into laughter, even Zhao Mian and Huang Zicheng laughed uncontrollably.

Old Zhu became even angrier when he heard the piercing laughter, pointing at Zhu Zhi and cursing.

"We look like a dish!"

"Let's make you a plate of fried pork with bamboo shoots today!"

"Drag it!"

"Hit us hard!"

Jin Yiwei, who was standing at the door, heard the word "ruthless", and thought to himself that His Majesty's anger had escalated again.

It's just that they didn't know that half of Lao Zhu's anger came from Zhu Yunxie.He had always placed high hopes on Zhu Yunxie, but was compared to Zhu Yunxuan whom he didn't like. Old Zhu was always on fire.

It happened that Zhu Zhi, a rebellious son, had a close relationship with Zhu Yunxie, so he vented his anger on him first.

Zhu Zhi was dragged down to beat the board in a hoarse voice, and not long after, there was another sound of howling ghosts and wolves outside the hall.

Lao Zhu waited until the boards outside were finished, and then went out to take a look at each one.

Seeing that Zhu Gui and Zhu Zhi's buttocks were swollen, Lao Gao nodded in satisfaction, indicating that Jin Yiwei could carry them away for treatment.

"Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Yunxi are tied for the top!"

Zhao Mian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, what about Topaz Ruyi?"

"Reward Zhu Yunwen!"

After saying this, Lao Zhu left the Dahon Hall angrily.

When all the princes and grandsons in the main hall heard this, they all showed expressions of envy and hatred.

Only Zhu Yunxi's expression was indifferent, and he was not affected in the slightest.

For him, he was already very happy to get a joint first place and keep his right to live outside the palace.

As for Po Ruyi, he really doesn't care about it!
After Lao Zhu announced the results of the monthly exam, it also meant that it was finally time for Dahontang to leave school.

The sons of the vassal princes went out of the palace in twos and threes. Zhu Zhi was taken to the imperial hospital for treatment, so the frog hunting gang disbanded, making the sound of frogs in the moat loud again.

Zhu Yunwen carried Huang Yuruyi and other rewards back to the Prince's Mansion excitedly, and the Crown Princess praised him for a while.

Knowing that this first place was obtained by Zhu Yunqi with real ability, Lu's heart was even more joyful.

Although Zhu Yunxi did not follow the crowd out of the palace, he did not leave the main hall in a hurry, but took advantage of the silence in the main hall to continue to perfect his new palace blueprint.

Until it was time for dinner, Lao Zhu sent a young eunuch to urge him, and he reluctantly went to the Qing Palace.

Lao Zhu has been losing his temper since he returned to Qianqing Palace. Either he thought the little eunuch who was serving him was panting too loudly, or he thought the cicadas outside were too annoying. After dropping several teacups in succession, his face was full Depressed, he sat down again to review the memorial.

Qin Deshun silently watched the emperor go crazy, then took out a ball of paper from his sleeve, turned his back to open it, and was instantly taken aback.

Although Zhu Yunxi looked around when he threw it, his attention was mainly on Lao Zhu, and he didn't notice Qin Deshun, a dead eunuch, who was secretly staring at him.

Therefore, as soon as his front foot was thrown into the wastebasket, Qin Deshun picked it up with his back foot.

After reading another poem by Zhu Yunxi, Qin Deshun yelled in surprise.

"My lord!"

"I just made a mistake, this is the poem written by His Royal Highness the Third Emperor!"

Old Zhu was humming angrily to find a typo on the memorial. Hearing this, he hurriedly turned his head and saw Qin Deshun holding a crumpled piece of paper in his hand, looking at him excitedly.

"What's wrong?"

"My lord, this is the masterpiece of His Highness the Third Highness. The one you saw in the main hall is another one!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately became interested.

"what!"

"The grandson of the turtle actually wrote two poems?"

"Hurry up and show us!"

Qin Deshun quickly spread out the poem and put it in front of Lao Zhu.Lao Zhu picked it up and glanced at it, then stood up from his chair in shock.

"Nice poem!"

"This is what our eldest grandson should have!"

"Chunlai, if I don't speak first, who dares to make a sound!"

"Look at the domineering writing of this poem, it makes people feel refreshed after reading it, hahaha!"

"Let me just say, our eldest grandson is such a clever person, how could he write such a mediocre poem, this grandson must be hiding his clumsiness!"

After Lao Zhu laughed, he asked immediately.

"Where did you find this poem?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is in the wastebasket in the main hall."

"This rebellious grandson..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, boundless anger flashed across his face.

"This rebellious grandson has ruined our event!"

"What is he hiding so well, doesn't he know what Huang Yuruyi represents!"

"What about the rebellious grandson?"

Qin Deshun hurriedly replied upon hearing this.

"I heard that I'm still studying in the main hall..."

Old Zhu became even angrier when he heard this, and jumped up and down and scolded.

"He has the spirit of learning now, what did he do when we were in Dabentang just now!"

"Send someone to bring him back to us, let's ask him in person, why did we feel sorry for him, and let him hide with us everywhere!"

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry, Qin Deshun regretted it for a while. He felt that he had done something wrong. Could it be that he harmed His Highness the Third Emperor?
Not long after, Zhu Yunxi ran into the Qianqing Palace excitedly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lao Zhu holding a whip in his hand and staring at himself with two "bulging" longan eyes.

When Zhu Yunxi saw this scene, his legs went limp in fright.

"Huang... Grandpa Huang, what are you doing, hasn't your grandson passed the exam?"

Old Zhu picked up a crumpled piece of paper from the table and shook it towards Zhu Yunxi.

"Let me ask you, did you write this poem?"

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi quickly denied it.

"no!"

"This is not written by my grandson!"

Old Zhu became even angrier when he heard this, the paper was clearly written by the grandson, yet he dared to open his eyes and talk nonsense in front of us?

"Get down!"

"Grandfather, you heard me, I really didn't write this!"

"How can I have this ability, this is me..."

"Get down!"

"Grandfather, why don't you believe me, this is really not..."

"Come on, help this rebellious grandson!"

As soon as Lao Zhu finished speaking, two eunuchs immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zhu Yunxi's arms and pushed him on the stool.

Seeing that Dasun's buttocks were in place, Lao Zhu rolled up his sleeves, and gave Nisun's buttocks a hard whip.

Zhu Yunxi originally wanted to argue a few words, but when he was hit by such a thunderbolt suddenly, the pain caused him to howl miserably with an "ow".

However, this was just the beginning, and instead of subsiding, Lao Zhu's anger continued to rise.After more than twenty whips, Lao Zhu's mood stabilized a little.

"How dare you lie!"

"Don't dare, woo woo woo..."

"Who wrote this poem?"

"Yes Yes……"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi still wanted to quibble, Lao Zhu immediately flicked a few whips over, beating Zhu Yunxi to admit it in a hurry.

"I admit it!"

"This poem was indeed written by me, wow..."

Zhu Yunxi thought that he would not be beaten if he admitted it, but he thought that after admitting it, Lao Zhu would be beaten severely.

"I admit it, why are you still beating me, wow..."

Old Zhu said angrily.

"Obviously you wrote it, why don't you dare to show it to us!"

"I'm afraid you'll hit me, woo woo woo..."

"Afraid we will beat you?"

Lao Zhu "slapped" the whip a few times, then bent down and asked meanly.

"Are you still afraid this time?"

"Don't be afraid..."

"What?"

"We beat you so hard, yet you said you weren't afraid!"

Old Zhu stood up straight, and beat the whip a few more times, until Zhu Yunxi kept yelling "Scared!".

"We are so kind to you, didn't we just beat you a few times, you dare to be afraid of us!"

After Lao Zhu said this, he "slapped" a few more whips, which directly beat Zhu Yunxi to collapse.

"Do you always make me afraid or not, woo woo woo..."

When Lao Zhu heard Dasun say this, he couldn't help but blush.

Right!

Do we want Ni Sun to be afraid of us, or do we want Ni Sun not to be afraid of us?

Lao Zhu frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out why.

In the end, he gave Nisun a few more whips to drain the last bit of anger in his heart, and then he sat aside angrily and sulked, leaving Zhu Yunxi alone, lying on the stool and crying bitterly.

Lao Zhu listened for a while, only to feel more irritable in his heart. Seeing that it was getting late, he simply went directly to the harem.

Qin Deshun wanted to keep up with the waiter, but Lao Zhu stopped him immediately.

"Don't follow us, hurry up and tell the imperial physician to give him medicine!"

"Hey!"

Lao Zhu came to Concubine Guo Hui's palace angrily, and complained to Guo Hui as soon as he entered.

"Guo Hui, you said that we are good enough to our eldest grandson, but he is hiding his mind from us today!"

"Obviously wrote a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, but secretly threw it away, and made another bad poem to fool us!"

"Originally we wanted to reward Huang Yuruyi to him, but he pretended to be stupid, but he made others happy. Do you think we can't be angry!"

Guo Hui had heard about it from Gou Zuzi a long time ago, even if Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't come, she still wanted to go to Qianqing Palace to hang around.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang come here to complain now, Guo Hui said angrily.

"Isn't it just a tickle, even if Huang Yu's is worth a lot, look at you for being stingy!"

Old Zhu glared at Guo Hui displeased.

"What do you know, Huang Yu represents imperial power, and Ruyi represents our wishes!"

"We rewarded Zhu Yunqi with Huang Yuruyi today. The officials in the court heard that they might be thinking about it!"

Concubine Guo Hui rolled her eyes slightly when she heard this.

"My lord, don't you still have a bamboo, why don't you reward the little one!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was not happy on the spot, so he sternly refused on the spot.

"Don't even think about it!"

"We're used to that, we won't give it to anyone, and we'll bring it to the ground when we die!"

Concubine Guo Hui chuckled when she heard the words, the emperor is nostalgic for nostalgia, it is clearly because the scratching of the bamboo was a gift from Sister Ma, so she is reluctant to part with it!

"Come, come, don't be angry, you lie down on the bed for a while, the concubine will go to Qianqing Palace to see the child, and I will wait for you to sleep when I come back!"

Old Zhu said sourly when he heard the words.

"Don't look!"

"Our subordinates are putting in more effort, and we didn't hit him hard!"

Concubine Guo Hui secretly rolled her eyes when she heard the words, but she knew that the old man's hands were dark, and it didn't matter who you were when he got angry, it would be good if he didn't beat you half to death.

When Concubine Guo Hui came to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunxi was lying on the bed moaning, while Imperial Physician Hao was carefully prescribing medicine for her.

Concubine Guo Hui glanced at Zhu Yunxi's butt, and when she saw the bloody scene, she gasped on the spot.

"hiss!"

"Why are you hitting so hard!"

However, Imperial Physician Hao did not seem surprised.

"Hui Concubine Empress, this just looks scary, but it's actually not a heavy beating."

"Even if it didn't bleed from the beating, Weichen still had to pry it open with a silver needle to release the blood inside..."

"Your Majesty has gained experience in beating his grandson. The last few whips just broke the skin, which saved the trouble of the humble minister, hehehe..."

When Zhu Yunxi heard that Imperial Physician Hao still wanted to laugh, he was so angry that he couldn't stop complaining.

"Doctor Hao, do you still have any conscience? I've been beaten so badly, yet you can still laugh!"

After Zhu Yunxi complained about Imperial Physician Hao, he began to scold the owed person again.

"I don't know who is so owed, I was obviously thrown into the wastebasket, and that fellow picked it up, which made me suffer a severe beating for nothing!"

"It's a pity... I was almost able to unlock the achievement of not being beaten for a month, but it was broken by that owed person, woo woo woo..."

When Qin Deshun heard Zhu Yunxie's complaint, his heart tightened secretly, thinking of doing something to remedy it.

"Mr. Hao, why don't you let your slaves serve the third emperor's grandson to give medicine?"

Hao Wenjie happened to have a little sore arm. Hearing what Qin Deshun said, he hurriedly handed him the medicine bottle and cotton swab, and asked him to apply medicine to Zhu Yunxi.

"If you let me know who the informer is, I'll have to peel his skin, constrict his tendons, drop him on the city gate and bleed him!"

Qin Deshun took the medicine bottle and gave Zhu Yunxie the medicine very carefully at first, but when he heard Zhu Yunxie cursing, he couldn't help but increase his strength in his hand.

"Ow ooh..."

"Eunuch Qin, do you know how to take medicine? You are here to cause me a second injury!"

"Third Emperor's grandson, please don't say a few words. If you talk too much, you will easily hurt your wounds!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he couldn't help complaining angrily.

"What does my talking have to do with my ass!"

"Eunuch Qin, could it be you who told me the secret?"

Qin Deshun's hands trembled when he heard the words, and the cotton swab uncontrollably "pebbed" Zhu Yunxie's buttocks, causing Zhu Yunxie to grin his teeth in pain.

"Third emperor's grandson, you have wronged the servant to death, how can the servant do such a thing!"

"It was Wang De who picked up your poems from the wastebasket!"

When Wang De heard this, he felt his scalp explode. What does this matter have to do with him?
But just when he wanted to refute, seeing his godfather winking at him, he suddenly realized that his godfather was asking himself to be the top of the tank for him!

As soon as Wang De thought that Qin Deshun had treated him well, and that he still had the righteous status of a godfather, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the pot, and knelt down on the bedside with a plop.

"Your Highness, this servant is sorry for you, all this is the fault of this servant!"

"If you want to punish, punish the servant, the servant is willing to accept any punishment!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard that Wang De was playing tricks, he graciously forgave him.

"never mind!"

"I know you're doing it for my own good, but don't do this kind of thing again!"

"Let's be a prince with peace of mind from now on, don't keep thinking about what's there and what's not..."

Concubine Guo Hui felt sad and uncomfortable when she heard Xiao Xunxiu's words so disheartened, she left the Palace of Heavenly Purity holding her nose, and then burst into tears.

When Concubine Guo Hui returned to Changning Palace and heard even snoring from the bed, she was so angry that she threw off the quilt on the spot.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, get up!"

Old Zhu opened his eyes in displeasure, looked at Guo Hui who was already insane, and said in displeasure.

"What's wrong with you?"

"You still have the face to sleep, and you don't even look at how you've beaten up little Xunxiu!"

"we……"

"We don't know as much as your mother-in-law. If you don't want us to stay, let's find someone else!"

"Then you go, the concubine will not stop you!"

Lao Zhu also had a temper, got up from the bed on the spot when he heard this, and then led a group of eunuchs to another palace angrily.

But after staying in the other palace for a short time, Lao Zhu became irritable again, and slipped out again under the pretext of something happening in the previous court.

Old Zhu originally wanted to go back to Qianqing Palace to take a look, but he couldn't save his face, so he could only sit awkwardly on the steps outside Qianqing Palace to watch the scenery.Just when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard the report from the little eunuch, saying that Erhu had returned from Wudang Mountain.

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately stood up excitedly from the steps.

"Hurry up!"
