Chapter 361 Grand Master

"Are you serious?"

Looking at the little emperor in front of him, Du Chengfeng scratched his head.

"You want me to kneel down?"

"Yes, that's you."

The young emperor raised his neck and looked hard at the giant in front of him who was much taller than an ordinary person.

"Kneel down."

"...?"

Du Chengfeng became increasingly confused.

Just, although he probably understands that in this imperial city, the emperor is the only one who exists. According to the etiquette here, anyone who sees the emperor must kneel down. This is a way to maintain the emperor's majesty and establish his supremacy. .

But the problem is...

Make him kneel down?

It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense.

"You should stop thinking about it."

After a moment of doubt, Du Chengfeng lowered his head again.

There was no way, the toddler in front of him was too short, he couldn't see the person unless he lowered his head.

"Think again, what you said..."

"Kneel down quickly!"

At this moment, the old eunuch's voice suddenly came from a distance.

"Quick! Kneel down!"

"……what?"

Du Chengfeng raised his head and looked at the old eunuch running over in surprise.

What does it mean to kneel down quickly? What does this mean? Is this Lao Deng talking about him?

"Why don't you think about it too?"

Looking at the old eunuch getting closer and closer, Du Chengfeng's face began to look ugly.

It doesn't matter if the child is ignorant, but if he still does this with him when he is old, then he will...

"Kneel down quickly!"

Just when Du Chengfeng didn't wait for a reaction and was about to slap him, the old eunuch had already walked closer.

Then, he pushed the young emperor to the ground.

"Kneel down quickly! Hurry!"

How could the little emperor's young body withstand the old eunuch's long-trained strength? So with a plop, the little emperor's knees weakened and he knelt in front of Du Chengfeng.

Until his head was pressed to the ground, the young emperor still couldn't come back to his senses. Although he could understand what his body was doing, it was because he could understand that he couldn't understand it more and more - —Just, this is completely different from the education he received before.

From the time he can remember, the education he has received is that he is the Nine-Five Supreme, he is the supreme emperor. Although he is still young, whether it is those ministers who look majestic or those who look fierce, All generals must kneel down to him, he is the most noble one.

"If they don't bow, then I will ask them to kneel down."

He still remembered that the old eunuch beside him had made such a promise to him. This old companion had served his grandfather and his father, and now, he was serving him even more. They were definitely of the same mind.

So, shouldn't you come and help me?

The little emperor, whose head was pressed to the ground, turned his head with difficulty and looked at the old eunuch beside him in confusion.

"Daban, you..."

Tears were already about to burst out of the little emperor's eyes.

Aren't you here to help me? Shouldn't I let that giant kneel down for me? Why is the person kneeling on the ground now instead of...

"Du Zhuangshi."

The old eunuch saw the tears in the little emperor's eyes, but at this moment he had no thoughts about this trivial matter. When he noticed that Du Chengfeng's right hand was about to be raised, the old eunuch quickly pressed the little emperor's hand again. His head hit the ground twice.

"Your Majesty is still young, and he was just joking. You see, he also knows that he is wrong. Otherwise, today's matter..."

"……never mind?"

Du Chengfeng started scratching his head.

"You said forget it?"

"This……"

The old eunuch choked directly on the spot.

He really wanted to let this matter go, so that it would be better for everyone - but the problem is, he said forget it, can he really let it go?

Like, no.

He also knew the temper of Grand Master Du in front of him. He thought that when the late emperor was still there, he was the number one rebel. Even though he was later recruited as Grand Master, he never knelt down to anyone - this It wasn't even a question of whether to kneel or not, but the other party rode directly into the Jinluan Palace with a knife on his back. He didn't dismount in front of all the civil and military officials, but he didn't care about any etiquette.

So, here comes the question. In the face of this extreme transgression, which is comparable to rebellion, what can the civil and military officials, the late emperor, and even the entire Chen Dynasty do?

Maybe not.

There was really no way around it. Even though the other party had seriously violated the law, he was a rebel and wouldn't care about it at all. If it must be enforced...who among them can beat it?

If you can't fight or deal with it, then you can only hold your nose and admit it, no matter how unreasonable this kind of thing is - or even if the late emperor hadn't been wise and gave him the honor of being a grand master, he would take this arrogant To rationalize the behavior, there was probably no one alive in the Jinluan Palace at that time.

"Absolute power is absolute truth."

It was after this incident that the old eunuch gained a new understanding of power, the royal family, and even the court.

Therefore, even when facing important court officials such as Sikong, he would never fall into a disadvantage simply because he always had the absolute power to kill the opponent and even the forces behind him.

But now...

"Please forgive him, he is still a child."

Saying this, the old eunuch himself knelt on the ground.

"He doesn't understand anything. It's because our family didn't teach him well..."

"What are you talking about?"

Before the old eunuch could kowtow a second time, a big hand directly lifted him up.

It's more like lifting than supporting. That hand is really too big, even twice as big as the old eunuch's head - just one open hand is already comparable to his entire chest. This made the old eunuch even more frightened.

When there was no such comparison before, the old eunuch didn't notice anything, but looking at it now...

The Du Zhuangshi in front of him is probably a lot bigger.

It seems that the other party has done nothing during this period of time, but just looking at this big hand, you can tell that the other party has become stronger.

This is simply...

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do I look like the kind of person who would kill children?"

Du Chengfeng shook his head repeatedly, and then picked up the young emperor.

"And you, what did you just say?"

"Kneel down."

The little emperor's face was full of tears and his neck was stiff again.

"I want you to kneel down..."

Snapped--

Before he finished speaking, the little emperor was slapped on the head.

"His Majesty!!!"

The panicked old eunuch quickly tried to protect him, but was pushed away by Du Chengfeng.

"Don't make trouble, I'm busy... Again, what did you want me to do just now?"

"Your Majesty!"

The little emperor cried hoarsely.

"I am the emperor..."

Snapped--

Another slap hit the little emperor on the head.

"and then?"

Du Chengfeng looked at the little emperor in his hand with confusion.

"Yes, you are the emperor, what next?"

"Then..." Then the little emperor didn't dare to speak.

He already knows this rule and will be slapped once he speaks, so no matter how much he wants to continue speaking, he dare not continue speaking at this time.

But why?

He is the emperor, he is the Supreme Being, why is he being brought here, why is he...

"Snapped--"

Just when the little emperor was filled with anger, he slapped him on the head again.

"I'm asking you something! Speak!"

"I……"

He was beaten even if he spoke, and he was beaten even if he didn't speak. The little emperor, whose head was overloaded, burst into tears on the spot.

This is the instinct after despair, the only action after the brain shuts down.

But Du Chengfeng would not stop crying just because of this.

"You are the emperor, and what next? Do you think that based on this, I will kneel down to you? What now?"

"I...I..."

The little emperor cried for a long time, but couldn't figure out how to answer.

He is the emperor, shouldn't others kneel down to him? Why did this thing that was supposed to happen suddenly not work? Not only does it not work, but he also has to be beaten. As an emperor, he even has to be beaten. You know, no one has ever beaten him since he can remember. He is an emperor, how can he be beaten?

There is a sudden deviation between habits and reality, and the whole world suddenly becomes so strange.

What went wrong?

"I don't know who taught you, but you don't even have the most basic respect."

Along with these words, another slap was slapped on the little emperor's head.

"What's wrong with the emperor? Isn't the emperor a human being? He is a human being, and he must have the most basic respect for others... I am just basking in the sun at the door. Just ask me to kneel down for you. Do you know what respect is? Really? Or are you no longer a human being?"

"I……"

The little emperor's mind became increasingly confused.

It seems, just, that's really what happened. If you look at it this way, everything does make sense - one person opens his mouth and makes the other person kneel down, which does seem to lead to a fight. Even if he is the emperor, he is... No, he is obviously the emperor, how could he... But he...

What's going on? Is the emperor a human being?

"Okay, stand up straight, men have to face their mistakes."

With that said, Du Chengfeng finally placed the little emperor on the ground.

"Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

"I, I, I, I..."

The little emperor hesitated for a long time before reluctantly speaking.

"I shouldn't...make you kneel down."

"and then?"

Du Chengfeng looked down at the young emperor.

"go on."

"I'm sorry."

The little emperor finally lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been like this..."

"Don't say you're sorry."

Another slap hit the little emperor on the head.

"I don't like to hear this word. If saying sorry once can make things go away, then you will be sorry a second time, a third time... This kind of words is meaningless. If you really know that you are wrong, then you will have to do it in the future. Learn to respect others and don’t make people kneel down at every turn, do you understand me?”

"……able."

The little emperor nodded.

Although his head was already in a state of confusion, he still nodded instinctively.

"Okay, let's play."

After getting the affirmative answer, Du Chengfeng gave the little emperor a push.

The young emperor immediately hid behind the frightened old eunuch.

"A small tree will not grow straight unless it is pruned."

Du Chengfeng pointed at the little emperor behind the old eunuch.

"Your teaching method is not very good. If a child really commits a crime, he must be beaten if he deserves it, otherwise he will not remember it long."

"...that's what the Grand Master taught me."

The old eunuch forced out an extremely ugly smile.

"Our family's level is still not as good as the Grand Master's teachings... Hurry, Your Majesty, say thank you to the Grand Master."

"..."

The young emperor just hid behind the old eunuch, his eyes were blank, but he had not yet come to his senses.

Seeing the little emperor's appearance, Du Chengfeng also began to feel that his strike was a bit too harsh - of course, the blow should still be struck, but his hands were different from ordinary people. Even if he deliberately controlled the force, After a few slaps, an ordinary person would have to lie down for a long time, let alone a young child.

However, considering what he had just experienced, Du Chengfeng still felt that the strength was not bad, just to make this kid have a longer memory.

After all, this old eunuch’s teachings are really...

"Wait a minute... you actually taught this?"

Du Chengfeng slapped his head and realized something was wrong.

"Just open your mouth and make people kneel down. Are you going to teach this to your children?"

"This……"

The old eunuch choked directly on the spot.

He seemed to have said this just now. Why did Grand Master Du just react now?

"I was busy spanking the child just now, and I didn't spank you."

Du Chengfeng took the old eunuch over.

"I'm not saying that there's something wrong with the way you raise your children...haven't you thought about what you'll grow out of this way?"

"Our family is training an emperor..."

The old eunuch thought about it twice, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with his education method.

The emperor should be the supreme emperor and should be extremely noble. Is there any problem with this kind of thing?

"Of course there is a problem!"

Du Chengfeng patted the old eunuch hard on the shoulder.

"How about this? Anyway, I am already a master. I have nothing to do during this period of time. I don't want to eat your food for nothing... I will take care of the child for a while. Of course, the time may not be long, but he has I will make things right for you."

"This……"

The old eunuch was immediately overjoyed.

A master, a top master, actually wants to accept a disciple - although it may only be a few months, or even a few days, but if he can learn one and a half moves... wouldn't this Da Chen be immediately impregnable?

"Of course...wait?"

The old eunuch was about to agree, but he always felt that something was not right.

Everything seemed to be a good thing, but he always had a subtle intuition, as if once he agreed, something unspeakable would definitely happen.

But he was halfway through speaking, and even if he hadn't finished speaking, he couldn't refuse.

"Then it's settled!"

Saying this, Du Chengfeng took out the little emperor again.

"I will be your Grand Master from now on."
