Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 61 The father also likes this grandson more?
Hearing this explanation, Zhu Yan was also speechless for a while.

I haven't seen you in a few years. Has this grandson become so stubborn?

I wanted to slap him a few times, but after seeing my nephew's miserable ass, I couldn't slap him no matter what.

But when it thought that it was also generally stubborn back then, and especially hated reading and writing, it felt relieved.

Children, who is not playful?
Although Zhu Yan expressed his understanding of Zhu Yunxi's behavior, he still turned him over, put him on the horse's back and reprimanded him.

"Zhu Yunxi, you are the only surviving son of the eldest brother of the crown prince. Now that the eldest brother of the crown prince has passed away, you are the future of Daming..."

"Therefore, whether you like reading or not, you have to work hard in the future. Only in this way can you win the favor of your grandpa, and you will have a chance in the future..."

As a feudal lord, Zhu Yan could only talk about this.

Because if you continue to talk, maybe you will harm the child.

If this child, at his own instigation, develops the desire to seize the heir apparent, but loses to Lu's son in the end, then his future fate will definitely be extremely miserable.

What's more, he hasn't seen his father for several years, and he still doesn't know his father's attitude towards this child.

Therefore, he can't say a lot.

"Do you remember?"

Zhu Yunxue felt the strength from Zhu Fun's hand, and hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Third Uncle, I remember what you said. I will definitely study hard in the future and make Grandpa Huang happy!"

When Zhu Yun heard what Zhu Yunxi said, he immediately turned his horse's head and looked coldly at Zhu Gui who was beside him.

"Zhu Gui, you know your mistake!"

Hearing this, Zhu Gui's calf twisted. He respected the third brother the most, but he was also most afraid of the third brother.

Because the third brother is different from others, if he commits a crime, he really dares to beat him up.

"Third brother, did I do anything wrong?"

Seeing that he didn't know what was wrong at this time, Zhu Bing immediately picked up his horsewhip and whipped him.

"Brother Prince passed away, you don't want to guard the spirit of elder brother, but you brought Zhu Yunxi to this kind of place, how dare you say that you are right?"

Zhu Gui asked with a blank face.

"What kind of place, didn't we just go shopping..."

Zhu Yan pointed to the plaque of "Qinyue Tower" and asked sharply.

"Zhu Yunxi is only so old, you just bring him to hang out in places like Qinyuelou, do you have such an uncle!"

When Zhu Gui heard this, he kept calling for injustice.

"Third brother, you have wronged me, we just passed by, we didn't go in at all..."

"Passing by is already a heinous crime, and you still want to take him in?"

Zhu Gui explained to himself while struggling to avoid the whip.

"Third Brother, listen to my explanation..."

"He doesn't blame me for this matter, it's Zhu Yunxi...he insists on me taking him...out of the palace..."

"Clap clap clap..."

Zhu Fang didn't listen to Zhu Gui's explanation, and just swung the whip over, before speaking.

"How old is he, how old are you!"

"He is not sensible, don't you also be sensible?"

"Come on!"

"Tie him to this king, bring him into the palace together, and throw him before the prince's elder brother to make amends!"

Zhu Yan's guards knew that the prince was angry and said angry words, so they didn't really try to tie people up.

He just took a horse and handed it to Zhu Gui, asked him in a low voice if he could ride a horse, and let him ride when he nodded.

A group of people came to the gate of the palace, just as Zhu Yan was about to dismount and walk, an eunuch ran over and said.

"Your Majesty has a decree, His Royal Highness Zhun Jin enters the palace on horseback!"

Zhu Yan also wanted to see his father sooner. Hearing this will, he cupped his fists and bowed in the direction of the palace gate, taking it as a thank you.

Then he took Zhu Yunxi, the rebellious nephew, and Zhu Gui, the stupid younger brother, and a dozen or so followers, and rode all the way into the palace to the gate of Qianqing Palace.

Lao Zhu had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw his third son come back, his eyes were blurred with muddy tears.

"Emperor!"

"Father?"

"Your hair..."

Seeing his father's white hair all over his head, Zhu Bian collapsed instantly.

He clearly remembered that when he met his father last time, his father was still full of black hair.Accompanying him to hunt, he didn't even catch his breath all morning.

However, after not seeing each other for two years, the royal father was so haggard.He was so old that he almost couldn't recognize his own son!

Lao Zhu walked down the steps impatiently. Seeing this, Zhu Yan hurriedly got off his horse, stepped forward to support him and shouted affectionately.

"Father, why have you aged so much all of a sudden, woo woo woo..."

"That's right, my son almost forgot to greet his father..."

However, before he knelt down and kowtowed, he found himself being hugged by his father.

"Third brother, we have finally brought you back, woo woo woo..."

Lao Zhu cried very sadly, but no one understood his sadness.

Since the prince passed away, he immediately sent letters to the princes who were entrusted to various places, hoping that they would come back to bid farewell to their elder brother.

However, it has been more than ten days since the letter was sent out, but none of the princes came back. How could it not make him feel sad?
Thinking of Da'er being unable to be buried so far and suffering in the scorching sun with ice cubes every day, his heart aches so much that it almost shatters.

Now the kings of Zhou and Chu who are close at hand have not arrived, but the king of Jin who is far away in Jinyang has arrived first.

While Lao Zhu felt very relieved, all that was left in his heart was emotion and gratitude to God.

Finally, their old Zhu's family still has a good man who values ​​love and righteousness!
Lao Zhu hugged Zhu Fen and cried for a long time before his mood gradually calmed down. While wiping his tears with his sleeves, he held Zhu Fen's hand and talked.

"Third, have you suffered a lot along the way?"

"Reporting to my father, my son-in-law received the news of the elder brother's death, so he rushed back day and night, fearing that he would not be in time to see the elder brother for the last time."

"Changing horses or not changing people?"

"Ok!"

"How many horses died?"

"Dozens of horses..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he patted Zhu Fen on the shoulder heavily.

"Third son, father really saw you right, if you have such a heart, it's not in vain for your big brother to treat you well!"

Seeing that his father praised him so much, Zhu Bian didn't have any joy on his face, but the sadness was even heavier.

"Father, I'm afraid I'll be late on the way back, so I'll keep you and elder brother waiting for a long time..."

Hearing this, Old Zhu looked up at the sky, took a deep breath and said sadly.

"You are fine!"

"Not only were you not late, but you were the first to come back..."

Zhu Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and asked with a puzzled face.

"how is this possible?"

"Aren't the fiefs of the fifth and sixth brothers not very close to Beijing?"

When Lao Zhu heard these two people, he said with a dark face.

"Don't mention those two white-eyed wolves to me, we and your elder brother, it's a waste of love for them!"

When Zhu Yan heard this, he was also very angry.

I have a long journey, even if I come back a few days late, it is still normal.But one of those two people is in Kaifeng and the other is in Changsha, which one is not closer to him, and they haven't arrived yet, they are really not human beings.

Old Zhu obviously didn't want to mention those traitors, after talking to the third child, he suddenly glanced at the sneaky duo.

"Third, why did you bring these two evils back?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxie was so frightened that his heart jumped into his throat, for fear that the third uncle would accuse him of being tricky and make him be beaten again by Lao Zhu.

This old man looks thin and skinny, it hurts to beat someone!

"Grandfather, I just..."

"Shut up for us!"

"Did we ask you?"

"No rules, no rules!"

After Lao Zhu scolded Zhu Yunxi, he turned his head and asked the third son gently in sign language.

"Third brother, if we don't believe anyone now, we will believe you!"

"Tell us, did this little Ni Sun cause some trouble outside?"

"Reporting to my father, when my son entered the city, I happened to see him and Zhu Gui walking from the Qinyue Tower..."

When Zhu Yunxi heard these three words, sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, and he thought to himself, why does the third uncle, who is so wronged, still make up nonsense?

Zhu Gui was even more nervous, his face turned pale with fright.

If he is convicted of this crime, he can be beaten to death by his father!
"Third uncle, how can you defile people's innocence out of thin air, I didn't go to that kind of place!"

When Lao Zhu heard the word "Qinyuelou", he just felt a little familiar, as if he had heard of this name somewhere.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi's eager defense now, he immediately thought of what kind of thing Qin Yuelou was. Wasn't this the brothel that Zhu Yu's son-in-law secretly opened?

"Zhu Gui, you are so courageous. How dare you go to that place of pickling. If we don't punish you severely today, we will let you go to Fengguo in the future!"

When Zhu Gui heard this, he knelt down with a thump in fright, and kowtowed like garlic.

"Father, I don't, don't listen to third brother's nonsense, we are really just passing by..."

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Gui's defense, and turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi who looked displeased.

"And you!"

"You haven't even grown your hair yet, so you go to that kind of place to fool around, and when you grow up, don't you want to burn down our Taimiao?"

"Come on!"

"Drag this pair of shameless uncles and nephews, and beat each of them thirty big boards!"

Seeing Jin Yiwei dragging him, Zhu Gui was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

"Father, I have been wronged..."

Relatively speaking, Zhu Yunxi's expression was much calmer, with more anger than fear on his face.

"Third uncle, I remember you, a sinister villain!"

"Humph!"

When Zhu Yan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Huh?
This grandson can do it, not only is he not afraid of this kind of thing, but he even dares to threaten him?

Tsk tsk, I've really improved, it's much better than crying at every turn!
When the two of them were dragged a few feet away, Zhu Bian suddenly called Jin Yiwei to a stop.

"stop!"

"Father, I haven't finished talking yet."

"I just saw them eating at the stall next to Qinyue Tower, but I didn't see them go to that kind of place."

"Oh?"

"Since I haven't been to those places, I'll save thirty boards."

"But the board can be waived, but homework cannot be waived."

"Everyone goes back and writes [-] characters, and I will hand it over to Mr. for inspection tomorrow!"

When Zhu Gui and Zhu Yunxue heard this, their hearts were relieved, and Zhu Yunxue was even more delighted to think that he finally didn't have to face the old Zhu that bad old man.

This old man is too difficult to deceive, relatively speaking, Qi Tai is much easier to talk to.

But just when Zhu Yunxi was thinking this way, Lao Zhu added another sentence.

"Zhu Yunxi, let's check your homework in person, and send it over tomorrow morning when you have breakfast!"

"what?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his face immediately collapsed.

Zhu Bian was startled when he heard that, has there been such a big change in the palace? He hasn't been back for only two years, and this grandson is so mixed up that his father personally supervises his homework?

You know, in the past, this kind of treatment was only available to the prince!
Thinking of this, Zhu Bing was filled with eagerness.

Could it be that the father also likes this grandson more?
