Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 9 Emperor Hongwu Smacks Emperor Yongle's Butt
"Go down and get ready!"

"Your servant obeys." Wang Yong went down gratefully and ordered the maids in the East Palace to prepare hot soup for His Royal Highness to bathe.

Not long after, everything was ready, and Zhu Biao had already entered the bathtub.

A pair of soft little hands kept kneading Zhu Biao's back.

"Shuang'er, use some strength. Your Highness's arms are a little sore today. You have to learn more about massage techniques from your elder sister Linger." Zhu Biao said comfortably.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will go and learn more from Sister Ling'er later." A girl who was a year or two younger than Zhu Biao responded softly with a flushed face.

"Well, Shuang'er, are you literate?" Zhu Biao asked casually.

"Returning to Your Highness, I have learned before, but I don't know much about it." The little girl Shuang'er said softly.

"Oh, since you can read and write, it means that your family is considered well-off. How could you enter the palace?" Zhu Biao became curious. In this era, ordinary people have no chance to read and write.

"The family situation before this servant was really good, but my father was beaten to death by Yuan soldiers, my mother died of grief, and my family was gone. If the emperor hadn't driven those Yuan soldiers away, I'm afraid I would have died in Yuan soldiers' hands too."

The little girl's face, which had been flushed because she waited for Zhu Biao to take a bath, turned pale at this moment, and tears began to accumulate in her eyes, which might flow down in the next second.

"Well, my father will definitely wipe out Yuan Ting completely. Since I have no parents or relatives, I will live a good life in the East Palace from now on." Zhu Biao didn't say any more, for fear of causing bad memories for the little girl.

On a cold night, the warm East Palace bed, and the hot bed warmer girl, really deserved the name of the warm bed, adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

The next day in Fengtian Temple, Zhu Biao was waiting for Lao Zhu to come, and then started today's court. Since the Ming Dynasty was founded, the morning court time was not as early as later.

As for why Lao Zhu set the time to go to court so early, when Zhu Biao was reading books in later generations, he once criticized that Lao Zhu must have gone to herd cattle before dawn, and later became emperor, this habit of getting up early I can't change it, so I can only pull the princes and ministers to enjoy it together.

After all, being rude in front of the palace is also a good reason to chop off the heads of the ministers. After all, no one else is rude, but you yawn, which is disrespectful to the emperor.
Not only Zhu Biao was waiting, but even the courtiers outside Fengtian Hall were waiting. As the time got later and later, the normal court meeting time had passed, and the ministers couldn't help talking.

In the end, Li Shanchang, who has the power of prime minister but has no name as prime minister, went to find out about the situation.

And Zhu Biao, who was quietly waiting for Lao Zhu to come, had nothing to do, and started strolling around the back of the hall.

I saw Wang Yong, who was outside the hall, trotted in all the way, "Your Highness, the emperor is in the main hall, beating the other princes, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come here for the time being."

"Well, why do the younger brothers anger father?" Zhu Biao was a little surprised. After all, he was only 13 years old this year, and the future Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was only eight years old at this time.

Of course, in this life, Zhu Di might not be able to become Emperor Yongle.

"Let's go and take a look with His Royal Highness. By the way, Wang Yong, you go to the front of the hall to inform that the meeting will be postponed for a quarter of an hour." Zhu Biao immediately stopped waiting. That outsider may not be clear.

Not long after Zhu Biao walked out, he saw Li Shanchang who was also heading towards the main hall, and Li Shanchang also saw Zhu Biao.

"His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness." Li Shan took three steps and two steps, and came to Zhu Biao's side.

In Zhu Biao's 13 years of memory, he is very familiar with these civil servants. On the contrary, the generals have been fighting outside all year round and have little contact with them.

"Mr. Li, I'm going to find my father." Zhu Biaoming asked knowingly.

"Exactly, the superior has never been late for the morning court!" Li Shanchang was also a little anxious. Before Lao Zhu ascended the throne and became the King of Wu, they had already had an early court meeting, but Lao Zhu had never been late.

"Hey, I heard that the third and fourth younger brothers didn't study well in Dabentang, but went to the Wenhua Palace to catch cats and walk dogs, which caused my father to be furious. I'm worried that no one will persuade you, father. Hurry up and persuade me!"

"Has no one notified the empress?" Li Shanchang's face changed, he really didn't want to involve the royal affairs, there were too many right and wrong.

"Mother, just left this morning to go to Dingyang to visit the tomb. Master Li, you'd better go!" Zhu Biao urged, after all, Zhu Biao is not like the old Zhu's big soles in the past.

When the two rushed to the outside of the Wenhua Hall, they saw Lao Zhu take off a boot and hit a child lying on the bench.

Li Shanchang followed Zhu Biao, and there was no way to retreat. Now that he was here, he bit the bullet and came to Lao Zhu's side.

Before Li Shanchang could speak, Lao Zhu roared, "Biao'er, throw all the cats, dogs, and fish in the palace into the moat, and let us drown them all."

"I obey the decree." Zhu Biao said in his mouth, "I thank you for all the fish in the palace" in his heart.

Fish: Hurry up, throw me into the moat and drown me.

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he continued to pick up his boots and hit the prince's ass in front of him.

Zhu Biao also found out that it was his good brother Zhu Di who was being beaten at this time. When Zhu Biao of later generations understands the history of the Ming Dynasty, he will think that Zhu Di's generation of Yongle Emperor is a great man.

"Fourth brother, fourth son, you stole my son's throne. I don't care if my son is angry or not. All I know is that you stole my son's throne. If you beat me up, you'll be punished!"

Zhu Biao looked at the scene of Zhu Di being beaten, and there was no disturbance in his heart. First, in this life, Zhu Biao would definitely not allow Feng Tianjing to happen. Hard to say.

As soon as Zhu Biao received the order, Lao Zhu continued to wave his boots at Zhu Lao Si who was lying on the bench, shouting while waving.

"Little brat, I'll kill you."

Li Shanchang, who had been silent all the time, stepped forward when he saw this, and snatched the court boots from Lao Zhu's hand. Seeing that the court boots were easily snatched by Li Shanchang, Zhu Biao knew that Lao Zhu was waiting for a step down at this time.

How could Lao Zhu, whose body had recovered to its peak, be snatched away by the old Li Shanchang so easily.

"Your Majesty, you can't fight anymore." Li Shanchang also looked anxious.

"Goodness, look at how crazy these little bastards have become. We have read less since we were young, so we hope they will read more and make up for what we lost. Look, look. "Old Zhu said angrily.

"Your Majesty, it is the master's fault that the princes don't study hard. You should blame the master. You have already ascended the throne, and you took off your court boots to beat the prince. This is not honorable for the emperor, and it is not in line with the royal rules! Moreover, the courtiers It is waiting for you to go up."

"Yes, the court, I was delayed by these bastards, go, go, you guys kneel here for me, and I will come back to deal with you when I go down." After finishing speaking, Lao Zhu took Li Shanchang There are also accompanying eunuchs and maids heading towards Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Biao was a distance behind the others, and when he passed by the second and third children, he heard the two younger brothers calling 'big brother' in a low voice.

"Kneel down here honestly, and I will help persuade my father after he comes down to court." After finishing speaking, he chased after this old Zhu.

"Thank you, brother." "Brother is very kind."
