Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 243 Zhu Di's Brother-in-law
When Lao Zhu saw that Zhu Yunxi dared to play rough with him, Xiao Bao's temper immediately came up.

"Little bastard is quite tough!"

"Let's see today, if you really have an iron ass!"

"Snapped!"

"Ow!"

"Snapped!"

"Ow!"

"Clap clap clap!"

"Ouch!"

Old Zhu crackled and whipped dozens of whips. Although Zhu Yunxue screamed from the beating, what made him depressed was that the little Nisun was as determined as a crab eating a weight, and he refused to let go.

Lao Zhu was so angry in his heart, he couldn't help but increase his strength a little bit, until a certain Ni Sun cried out, and his shouts gradually became hoarse, and then he put away his whip dejectedly.

"Come on!"

"Put Nisun down, and call the imperial physician over to give him a diagnosis and treatment!"

"Your Majesty, my servant is here!"

Hao Wenjie had been called over by Erhu a long time ago, and had been waiting outside the door just now.Now when he heard His Majesty's call, he ran in suddenly, and then commanded everyone to carry Zhu Yunxi to the bed with ease.

Even though Hao Wenjie had already prepared himself, when he saw Zhu Yunxie's beaten butt, he still took a deep breath.

"Third Emperor's grandson, what's the reason this time!"

"silver!"

"Grandpa Huang is thinking about the hard-earned money I earned, so he insisted on forcing me to give it to the court. If I don't give it, I will be beaten to death, woo woo woo..."

When Hao Wenjie heard what Zhu Yunxi said, he felt very dissatisfied with His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the court's expenses are so high, and the little money earned by the third emperor's grandson is just a drop in the bucket. You are too harsh on the third emperor's grandson..."

Old Zhu could naturally hear Hao Wenjie's complaint, but he didn't bother to explain, he just let out a cold snort and walked out.

After Lao Zhu left, Hao Wenjie persuaded him full of distress.

"Third Emperor's grandson, you are too ignorant. His Majesty asks you for money because he values ​​you. Why don't you give Your Majesty face?"

"All civil and military officials in the court know that King Qin is rich and his family has millions of dollars, but when will you see His Majesty ask King Qin for money?"

Lao Zhu, who had just walked out of the door, froze suddenly when he heard these words, secretly thought that Hao Wenjie was quite reasonable, and finally said a few decent words.

We ask this Ni Sun for money because we think highly of him, but this Ni Sun dares not to give it, I really can't forgive him even if he is killed!

Zhu Yunxi lay on the bed and cried while explaining with sobs.

"Doctor Hao, I know that Grandpa Huang is close to me, and that's why he forced me to pay the money."

"If he had spoken nicely to me at the beginning, I would have given it. But he beat me right away, and he beat me with dozens of lashes without making a sound. If I pay for the money again, wouldn't the previous beating be for nothing? Already!"

"Uh……"

Hao Wenjie was immediately persuaded by Zhu Yunxie when he heard this, the child was right, the emperor did not kindly do this.

When Lao Zhu heard this while hiding outside the door, he felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known that the boy was so talkative, he wouldn't have threatened him with a whip.

However, just when Lao Zhu thought of this, Zhu Yunxi in the dormitory spoke again.

"What's more, I have already spent all the money Grandpa Huang forced me to hand over. Now that I have to pay for it, I can only embezzle it from other places, which will delay my normal business operation..."

Old Zhu who was standing outside the door couldn't bear it any longer when he heard this, and rushed in with a whip in his hand.

"In less than a month, you spent 10,000+ taels of silver?"

Hao Wenjie was also dumbfounded when he heard this. He thought it was only a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he still blamed His Majesty the Emperor for making a fuss out of a molehill.Now that I hear that it is 10,000+ taels of silver, I only have one thought in my heart, that is, I deserve it!
"Tell us clearly, where did so much money go!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard Lao Zhu's voice, he turned his face directly to the bed, gritted his teeth tightly and didn't cry out for pain, but just sulked secretly.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu raised his whip again and beat him down again. Hao Wenjie, who was administering medicine to Zhu Yunxie, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and took Lao Zhu's whip solidly.

"Hao Wenjie, get out of the way!"

"Why don't you kill this rebellious grandson today, we are all his grandsons!"

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry, Hao Wenjie knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"The third emperor's grandson is still young, so you must not have the same knowledge as him!"

"Is he still young?"

"When we were his age, we put cattle for the landlord's house for several years!"

"When I was three years older, we even buried our parents with our own hands!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately turned his head and replied angrily.

"I have no father or mother now, you just killed me, let me go with my parents, woo woo woo..."

"Rebellious grandson!"

Lao Zhu raised his whip again, and Hao Wenjie quickly stretched out his arms to block it.

"Your Majesty, you can't beat me any more. If you keep beating, even if it's cured, it will leave scars in the future!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he lowered his arms dejectedly, and ran outside angrily to sulk.

Hao Wenjie looked at the grandparents and grandson who were fighting each other, and showed a helpless wry smile, thinking that the two people's temperaments were really similar, they both had the same stubborn temper.

Not long after Lao Zhu sat in the outer room, a young eunuch came to report.

"Your Majesty, the princes of Japan, Ryukyu envoys, Korean envoys, and Vietnamese envoys have come to celebrate the birthday, and are waiting for His Majesty to summon you in the front hall!"

Under normal circumstances, a birthday banquet is held for a whole day and is divided into several stages.

First came the congratulations from the civil and military officials of the dynasty, followed by the congratulations from the envoys of the vassal states, and finally the congratulations from the eunuchs in the palace.

In the past, when the prince was alive, Lao Zhu always handed over the latter two to the prince to take care of.Sometimes the envoys of the vassal states are sent directly to the Wenhua Palace with gifts, and the prince meets him for him, and the job is over.

Now that the prince is not around, these things fall on his head again.

Old Zhu Qiang cheered up and stood up, and looked in the direction of the dormitory unwillingly, feeling regret again in his heart.

I really shouldn't hit my grandson today, let him finish the two troublesome things for us before hitting him!

Lao Zhu showed his face before going to court, affirmed the filial piety of the vassal state, returned gifts to the envoys, asked Honglu Temple to take good care of him, and then slipped away again under the pretext of feeling unwell.

However, before he could walk down the imperial steps, he saw the ritual officer approaching and prostrated himself in front of him.

"Your Majesty, if you are unwell, why don't you choose someone from the royal family to host the banquet for you, so as not to treat envoys from various countries well."

As soon as Lao Zhu saw this person jumping out, he knew what they were thinking about.

I ordered the Ministry of Rites to draft a title, and it hasn't been submitted yet. Instead, the notes of frequent disasters from all over the country are flying in like snowflakes.

Whether it is a certain underground hailstorm or a certain underground rainstorm, it will involve the interaction between heaven and man, and the loss of morality of the human ruler.

There are also many censors who, by impeaching Qichunhou and planning to let the youngest son inherit the title, quoted scriptures and expounded on the theory of establishing an elder and a son, and ordering the elder and younger.

Old Zhu too understood the smallness in their hearts, but because the third child hadn't moved at all, he didn't bother to talk to them, and temporarily complied with their wishes, and stopped urging the Ministry of Rites to draft an order.

Now that the old man jumped out, he must have been instigated by some people, planning to let him order Zhu Yunqi to host the banquet.

If it was normal, Lao Zhu would probably have agreed, but just now he was angry with Ni Sun, thinking bitterly in his heart, he couldn't let them get what they wanted!

"Five!"

Zhu Wei was chatting with the two princes beside him, when he heard this, he stood up stupidly.

"Father, are you calling my son?"

Old Zhu said angrily.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't you!"

"We're tired, you support us!"

"what?"

Zhu Su was stunned on the spot when he heard the words, and it took him a while to realize, with ecstasy on his face.

Royal father wants to entrust him with a heavy responsibility!
"what!"

"My son obeys the order!"

"I will live up to my father's entrustment, and I will treat all the envoys of the feudal kingdom wholeheartedly!"

"Ok!"

Old Zhu nodded when he heard the words, and then left the hall without looking back.

After Lao Zhu left, all the civil and military officials looked at Zhou Wang Zhu Huan who was busy like a butterfly wearing flowers, and murmured again in his heart.

What does His Majesty the Emperor mean by this move? Could it be that His Majesty the King of Zhou is interested?

Yan Wang Zhu Di and others were also puzzled when they saw the fifth younger brother who was constantly arranging for wine and food.

Even if the father doesn't like the second brother, there is still the third brother and himself, why can't it be the fifth brother's turn?
The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more angry he became, and he went out for a walk with the excuse of urination.

When he walked outside the door, he suddenly heard someone calling him in a low voice. He looked back and saw Xu Zengshou, Xu's brother-in-law, wearing shining armor, standing at the door as the door god.

"Why are you kid?"

"Is it your turn to be on duty today?"

Xu Zengshou smiled bitterly when he heard his brother-in-law's question.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't lie to you, I just guard the gate in the palace, hehehe..."

If Xu Zengshou was idle all day long and had nothing serious to do, he might just take him to Peiping to save him some military merit and find a way out.

But now seeing that Xu Zengshou already has an errand, he suddenly had some other thoughts in his heart, thinking that this position would be of great use to him in the future.

"Increasing longevity, don't talk nonsense!"

"Being able to accompany His Majesty all the time is an opportunity that no one else can ask for!"

Xu Zengshou saw that his brother-in-law was acting as prudish as his elder brother, so he couldn't help sticking out his tongue in embarrassment, and made a face at his brother-in-law.

Zhu Di also realized that what he said was a bit too serious, and immediately started the mode of pulling homework.

"Has anything interesting happened in the palace today?"

"Yes, I have!"

"Just now, His Majesty seems to have beaten the Third Emperor's grandson again. He beat the Third Emperor's grandson and screamed so badly. I don't think he will get out of bed in three days!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di immediately became interested when he heard this, and dragged Xu Zengshou aside to chat.

"Does the father often beat the third emperor's grandson?"

"Not too often, anyway, at least once a month on average..."

"hiss……"

"Then why again this time?"

Xu Zengshou shook his head when he heard the words.

"I really don't know about this. Erhu personally guards the Qianqing Palace, not even a fly can fly in."

"If the brother-in-law is not in a hurry, give the younger brother a few days, and the younger brother will definitely find out for the brother-in-law!"

This is Zhu Di's original intention of not wanting Xu Zengshou to give up this position. He is in urgent need of eyeliner in the palace, and he is completely blind to what happened in the palace.

Although Zhu Di is 1 happy in his heart, he still has to pretend on the surface.

"It's a big taboo to spy on the palace. If you are involved in this, it will make my brother-in-law feel uneasy."

"Furthermore, it's not a big deal, it doesn't matter if you know it or not!"

Xu Zengshou smiled again when he heard the words.

"Brother-in-law doesn't know something. The beating of the third emperor's grandson is a common occurrence. It takes less than two days for the whole palace to know. There is no need to bother to find out, hehehe..."

"Since that's the case, there will be brother Lao Zengshou."
