Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 18 018 Dispute between grandparents and grandchildren (Second update! There are three more to come!)

The entire hall was stunned again.

What's happening here?
Are all young people today so brave?

How dare you contradict your father/His Majesty in public?

Am I hallucinating?
Everyone looked shocked, and some couldn't believe their ears.

Especially Zhu Hui!
In a daze, when he couldn't help but look at Zhu Congxin's profile again, the figure of the other party seemed to be much taller in an instant.

[It's so kind! 】

[It would be great if one day I could be as talented as him! 】

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but think with envy.

But soon, he quickly gave up this dangerous idea.

Because he knew very well that a concubine prince like him could never leave the emperor's protection.

If he really wanted to offend the emperor, he might have to spend the rest of his life in some remote place.

Also showing admiration was Zhu Yunwen.

But he is different from Zhu Kai.

What Zhu Gai admired was only Zhu Congxin's courage.

But he was still paying attention to Zhu Congxin's way of speaking.

It was a tone that seemed respectful but was actually casual.

That might not sound disrespectful at all.

But at the same time, it’s hard to feel too much respect from it.

"How presumptuous! Who are you, and you dare to compare yourself with a hero?"

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously noticed Zhu Congxin's tone.

He didn't know what the problem was!
It seemed that since he arranged Zhu Congxin into Zhu Xiongying's room last time, this little guy had some resistance to him.

In the past, whenever he saw him, Zhu Congxin would open his hands eagerly, and then obediently call out grandpa.

but now
It had been a long time since he had heard this little guy take any initiative to please him.

He doesn't like this feeling of being excluded!

It's like he doesn't like being lied to.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it again.

Because he knew very well that the child in front of him was not the kind of existence that he could control at will.

"Then you have to ask Grandpa Huang yourself!"

"Anyway, in the eyes of your grandson, you will always be his grandpa."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Congxin responded without giving in.

On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this sentence.

But the underlying line is: Although I regard you as my grandfather, you don't seem to regard me as your real grandson.

This time, Zhu Yunwen's admiration for Zhu Congxin rose to a whole new level.

He even felt a little excited!
Because what Zhu Congxin said just now is actually exactly what he has been feeling over the years!
As for Zhu Kai and other princes, they showed a deep uneasiness and fear.

It's not just them.

Be it Zhu Biao, or Lu Wei and Song Yi who are still on the podium.

At this time, they were all frightened by Zhu Congxin's bold words.

Especially Zhu Biao.

He even took a trembling step back, as if he was afraid that he would be implicated.

However, just when everyone looked regretful and felt that Zhu Congxin would definitely not be able to cross this hurdle, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally angry, suddenly put away all his anger. "Liu He! Pass on the message. If Zhu Congxin dares to doze off in class again, we will give this woman a hard spanking. Ten times at a time! Beat her to death!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone who lowered their eyes and bowed their heads heard such an imperial edict.

???

This. What's the situation?
I'm just a palace maid
You two are so angry, why do you want to get involved with me?

Zhang Xiulan felt that her brain was not enough.

Then there is Zhu Congxin!

He never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang's tolerance for him would rise to such a level.

You must know that at the very beginning, he was prepared to be expelled from the palace.

But now he doesn't know what to say.

However, compared to them, the most surprising person present was obviously Zhu Biao, who was standing behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

In more than 20 years, this was the first time he saw such a tolerant side of his father.

At this moment, he was not only a little shocked, but deep in his heart, he also felt a strong sense of envy and jealousy.

[It would be great if my father could do this to me one day. Last time, I just begged him not to go on a killing spree, and he gave me a severe lesson. Now that I think about it, it was really unjust.]

And just when Zhu Biao was secretly complaining, not far away, Zhu Congxin, who had come to his senses, finally quickly expressed his protest: "Grandpa Huang, you are unreasonable! I said I was already sick! And since you are a patient, you should naturally have a good rest! What's the problem with this? Why do you want to beat my maid just because I sleep? "

He spoke plausibly, as if he was really ill.

But the next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled jokingly and directly used a set of combo punches to beat him into silence.

"Do you also know that you have to be reasonable in everything?"

"Then tell me, why can you get sick for no reason?"

There is no doubt that this is the way Zhu Yuanzhang thought of to restrain Zhu Congxin.

To put it bluntly, it is actually a rogue against a rogue.

You can get sick without any reason, then I can naturally punish your maid without any reason.

"."

"Grandpa! How about we make peace!"

"Actually, I didn't mean to doze off just now, but what the two gentlemen said was really too empty and useless."

"If they can teach something useful, I will definitely listen carefully and never do anything unrelated to learning again."

Knowing that he could not outplay Zhu Yuanzhang after all, Zhu Congxin was silent for a moment and then suddenly smiled obediently.

This also means changing the routine and starting from the two masters.

You can also regard it as
A challenge in disguise.

If they want to make him surrender, Lu Wei and Song Yi must show corresponding skills!

Otherwise, even if the sky falls, Zhu Congxin will never act like a fool and listen to where they are.

"Then tell me, what kind of things can be considered useful?"

This undoubtedly angered Lu Wei and Song Yi.

After the two looked at each other, Song Yi asked angrily first.

Seeing that the two of them had taken the bait, Zhu Congxin naturally showed a triumphant smile.

"It's very simple! Anything that can solve basic people's livelihood can be considered useful."

“For example, ice can be made in the summer, stone can be smelted into iron, or sea can be boiled into salt.”

He said without thinking: "As long as you can tell me some knowledge that I have never heard of, I will listen to the lectures honestly from now on and never do anything unrelated to study again."
