King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 354: The surname Zhu is really good
When the eunuch introduced Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Jingyuan, who was not far away, also came closer to listen.

Zhu Jingyuan was happy from the bottom of his heart when he learned that Lao Shisan had beaten up the Jia family.

"Fourth brother, tell me...who are the people in the fourth sister-in-law's family? They have been impeached and reprimanded by the father many times in the past, but now it seems that they have not changed at all!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I didn't have a long memory for provoking Old Thirteen before, but this time I made him angry again. It shows that the Jia family is not only bad but also stupid!"

Lao Liu is worthy of being Lao Liu. These crackling words left the prince speechless.

You must know that in this hall, there are not only the two of them, but also a group of clan princes, princes and high-ranking martial artists, all waiting inside.

On the surface, Zhu Jingyuan was talking about Jia's family, but he was in the face of the prince, everyone at the scene could hear this.

For Jia's family being cleaned up, some high-ranking warriors at the scene applauded in their hearts. Most of these people were the heroes of the Donghuamen incident.

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui, the cause of today's incident is not clear, and the right and wrong are not clear. It would be unfair for you to arbitrarily say that it is the Jia family's fault!"

When the hall was quiet, the sudden voice of correction made Zhu Jingyuan feel particularly harsh.

The person speaking at this moment is Xu Xinan, the current bachelor of Zuo Chunfang. Now that there are no Zhanshi and Shaozhanshi in the East Palace, he is the highest-ranking official in the East Palace.

This is the East Palace, the prince's home court, so it's normal for someone to speak for him.

Although Zhu Jingyuan felt calm, he still asked: "When our brothers are talking, do you have the right to interrupt?"

"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. This is the main hall of the East Palace, where public discussions are held... everyone can speak!"

This time, Zhu Jingyuan looked at this person, smiled and stopped talking.

If he continues to argue with Xu Xinan, he will only lose his status as a dignified prince. Even if he wins the argument, he will lose completely.

To deal with Xu Xinan, he didn't need to take any action himself. There were many people under his command who could impeach him. He only needed to catch the person's mistakes.

At this time, a courtesy officer came in to ask for instructions: "His Royal Highness, the time is approaching... Do you want to leave?"

"Let's go!" Zhu Jingyuan said helplessly.

…………

"I said you two, looking so panicked and uneasy, are as guilty as thieves. Why bother?"

Looking at his younger brother beside him, Zhu Jinghong comforted him: "I just beat someone up, what's the big deal?"

However, kneeling outside the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jingchun and his two men couldn't muster the courage. Naturally, they felt extremely frightened at this moment.

"Look at you...you both turned pale when I said this. You really didn't listen to what I said!"

"I'll say it again, I'll take the responsibility for this, you guys..."

Before Zhu Jinghong finished speaking, he saw Zhu Jingchun and two people prostrating themselves and knocking their heads into the snow.

"Look how scared you are..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Jinghong saw the emperor striding towards the door of the main palace with cold eyes.

As a result, he followed his two younger brothers and knelt down on the ground, and his buttocks were raised higher than these two guys.

Cheng Ying came out with the emperor. He also had a cane in his hand, which was perfect for beating people.

When he came to a stop in front of Zhu Jinghong and the others, Zhu Xianming had no intention of asking. He took the cane and pulled it out after shining it on Zhu Jingchun.

It has to be said that Zhu Xianming's prestige was deep enough. He beat him so hard, but Zhu Jingchun was stunned and did not dare to say a word.

"Dad...I instigated this matter. It has nothing to do with them. If you want to hit me, hit me!"

He will be responsible for this matter, and Zhu Jinghong will do what he says.

Looking at Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Xianming scolded: "Beating the imperial officials, you are simply lawless!"

"Dad... we have a reason to beat people. If you beat us indiscriminately, are you even worse than us?"

Hearing this, Cheng Ying felt anxious for Zhu Jinghong. The emperor dared to speak like this when he was angry. He was the only one in the world.

"You bastard..."

There was no doubt that the cane fell on Zhu Jinghong, but he was used to being beaten, so he didn't feel much about it.Zhu Jinghao, who had not yet been beaten, was scared to death. He only hoped that the emperor's father would calm down and he could feel more relaxed.

In fact, although Zhu Xianming was angry, he actually felt uncomfortable when he really hit Zhu Jinghong.

After more than a dozen lashes in a row, Zhu Xianming finally stopped when he saw that his robe was almost torn.

On the one hand, he couldn't bear it, and on the other hand, he was afraid that if he broke it, he would not be able to explain it to the queen.

Of course, the most important thing is that beating Zhu Jinghong out of anger also silenced the courtiers. After the goal was achieved, there was no need to continue beating him.

"Jia Zhen is a military attache of the imperial court. Even if she makes mistakes, there are still national laws. How dare you use lynching?"

"Dad, we are not lynching people, we are teaching them a lesson when there is injustice on the road!" Zhu Jinghong raised his head and corrected.

Thirteenth brother, please don't say a few words, I managed to avoid it... Zhu Jinghao groaned in his heart.

"How dare you talk back?"

"That Jia Zhen bullies good people. Dad, you will find out if you send someone to investigate. I hate such evil things the most. Beating him up will be an advantage for him!"

If you want to taint military power, you must not show your scheming. The stupider and straighter you are, the safer it is, so the character Zhu Jinghong must be upheld.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong was careful here and did not directly mention the Qin family's affairs, otherwise it would damage Qin Keqing's reputation.

Of course, even if the emperor found out, it wouldn't matter. After all, he didn't want a woman for a day or two. Zhu Xianming would just treat him as "playing".

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong dared to talk back at this moment, Zhu Xianming scolded: "You are so stubborn that you will make me angry!"

As a result, Zhu Jinghong received a few more sticks, which was not a big problem for him.

"Get away... get away... get away!"

"My dear, please retire!" Zhu Jingchun and both of them kowtowed.

Only Zhu Jinghong stood up and said: "Dad...you have to fight me, but don't be angry again!"

Zhu Xianming almost laughed in anger. This boy still cared about him. I don't know if he was too filial or too filial.

"Sooner or later, you guys will make me angry to death, so get out of here...be grounded for five days and reflect on it!"

After saying this, Zhu Xianming turned around and walked towards the main hall gate. He wanted to continue listening to Zhao Yushan's report.

After the emperor entered the palace, Zhu Jinghong flicked the snowflakes off his sleeves, then turned and walked out of the palace gate. Zhu Jingchun and his two men quickly followed.

After leaving the Qianqing Gate, I heard Zhu Jinghao say with lingering fear: "Just... just now, it was really... it really scared me to death!"

Zhu Jingchun answered, "Look at you being so frightened, what's the big deal, isn't it just a few sticks!"

It can be seen that Zhu Jingchun, who has been beaten several times, has a slight sense of superiority at this moment.

"Brother Thirteen, are you okay?" Zhu Jinghao looked at Zhu Jinghong on one side.

Zhu Jinghong smiled, and then said: "What can I do, it's not too light today, let's go... Let's go back and ground your feet, and take you out of the palace to play in a few days!"

These words touched the hearts of Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingchun. From birth to now, they had never left the palace once.

Even Zhu Yunsheng's daughter's family has gone further than them.

"Brother Thirteen, if my father takes the blame..."

Zhu Jingchun had doubts, and there was no one who was timid and still loved to play.

"Just blame him. It's just grounding him or being beaten. What a big deal!" Zhu Jinghong said lightly.

"You are so obedient that the old man thinks you are worthy of being trained. Look at me...does he still care about me now?"

"It's really like that!" Zhu Jingchun suddenly realized something.

The three of them walked to the palace. What seemed like a "big deal" to ordinary people was solved by the three of them.

This also made Zhu Jinghong feel that it was really good to have the surname Zhu in the Ming Dynasty.
