The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 104 Enmity with Fame and Fortune

Zhu Houzhao is staging a live-action version of "Nezha vs. Vajra Gourd Baby".

The shadow puppet show is enjoyable, so of course you need a set of live-action cosplay outfits to support the scene. After wearing it, Zhu Houzhao feels that he has really become Nezha, the only one in the world.

"...You seven evil beasts, take a shot at me!"

"His Royal Highness!"

"Stop talking nonsense! What should you do?"

Liu Jin felt a headache.

Get this outfit for you, just for fun, why add us?

There is no way, the crown prince has ordered, so it can only start...

"Gourd baby, gourd baby, seven flowers on a vine, not afraid of wind and rain."

Then the seven eunuchs sang together: "La la la la..."

There is no need to sing later, Zhu Houzhao directly swung the red-tasseled gun in his hand, and hit the gourd on the heads of the seven eunuchs, and then the seven eunuchs ran away with their heads in their arms.

Regardless of whether the eunuch can really beat this brat, or how capable the gourd baby is, anyway, for them...

Just run away.

Then Zhu Houzhao jumped up and down and smashed the decorations in Wenhua Hall.

……

……

"Get down!"

Zhu Youtang watched it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it.

When he yelled this loudly, he was full of breath, and even the usual cough disappeared after he yelled.

People seem to have the spirit of anger rushing out of the bottom of their hearts.

Zhu Houzhao was still smashing things vigorously, but when he heard the roar, he froze on the table for an instant, and then looked sideways at his father.

But I saw Zhu Youtang leading someone and appearing at the gate of Wenhua Hall.

Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and others who came in together did not dare to breathe.

Seeing the emperor's flushed face, they knew... someone might be unlucky today.

The reason it says "maybe".

Then there is still room for change in this matter. Perhaps these things were created by Zhang Zhou, and the emperor may have a different opinion.

"His Majesty……"

The eunuchs and other servants in the Wenhua Palace knelt down on the ground.

Zhu Houzhao also jumped down from the table, put the red-tasseled gun aside, walked over and saluted, "I pay homage to my father."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Youtang went up and tore off the "golden steel ring" around his neck, because the golden steel ring was only surrounded by rattan and painted a layer of paint on the outside. The rim broke right away.

"Father, take it easy."

Zhu Houzhao still felt a little distressed.

The good toy he just got was bought by him at a "big price". After playing with it for two days, his father broke it.

Zhu Youtang was full of anger and said, "Who made it for him?"

No one dared to speak up.

Immediately, Zhu Youtang thought of something, and asked coldly, "Is it Zhang Bingkuan?"

Dai Yi and others heard the change in the emperor's tone.

As they expected, when it was mentioned that these things might have been created by Zhang Zhou, the wrath of Sheng Yan was not as obvious as before.

Gu Dayong said, "Your Majesty, it's Liu Jin."

When Liu Jin saw the emperor coming, she was frightened. She thought she had brought something good for the prince, but she reminded her not to be seen by the emperor. She thought it was okay at the autumn festival, but she still hit the muzzle of the gun...

Can the perpetrator escape?
All the eunuchs in the East Palace were jealous of him being favored, and they were definitely going to add insult to injury at this time.

Liu Jin hastily moved her knees forward and said, "Your Majesty, the slaves brought him back from outside the palace, and it was Zhang Gong who gave birth to him..."

At such times, Liu Jin would always rely on Zhang Zhou no matter what.

He was right.

It was indeed Zhang Zhou who made it.

But it was only sent to the palace by his hand, and even the song was learned from the shadow puppeteer.

For kids...

For such a catchy song, there are not a few lyrics, so it is easy to learn it.

Then Zhu Houzhao used it as the BGM for smashing things.

"Liu Jin!"

Zhu Youtang turned to Liu Jin with a murderous gaze.

It was said earlier that it was Liu Jin who colluded with the prince, and every time he found someone to watch outside in advance, and when he saw Sheng Jia coming, he would inform the prince in advance, so that the prince would pretend to be well-behaved.

Now it's in my hands again!

Still want to wrong my trusted "Bing Kuan classmate"?
"Who brought it in?" Zhu Youtang didn't care about anything else.

Now he wants to make it clear who made these fun things.

Before Liu Jin could answer, Gao Feng said, "Return to Your Majesty, it is Liu Jin. From the leather used in the shadow play to these clothes..."

Gao Feng didn't know how to describe these outfits, what kind of tattered things were they, could they be called clothes?

But the crown prince just doesn't like this tune.

Is it strange?
"It was all brought in by Liu Jin alone, and has nothing to do with others."

Now Zhu Youtang's anger need not be discounted, he said angrily: "Pull it out!"

Immediately someone came in and dragged Liu Jin out.

But the people present wanted to know what the emperor would say next, because just "pulling him out" was not a punishment, and the next step should be to determine the content of the punishment.

"Thirty sticks!"

After all, Zhu Youtang is still "merciful".

From the father's point of view, killing Liu Jin is not an exaggeration, but from the point of view of education, Liu Jin is just an accomplice.

No matter how evil Liu Jin is, the chief culprit should be his son, and his son is persistent, so what's the use of punishing his accomplices?

Besides, if Liu Jin was killed directly, it would cast a shadow on his son.

"Your Majesty, please forgive this slave..."

Liu Jin was begging for mercy while being dragged out.

To no avail.

In this matter, someone must be responsible, and Liu Jin, as the "initiator", was extra merciful to hit thirty sticks.

What Liu Jin wants to say is... Zhang Zhou came up with this idea, so why am I the only one who suffers?

"Father, why did you punish Liu Jin? He was just playing with my son. Besides, my son has finished his homework this year, hasn't he?"

Of course Zhu Houzhao was not happy.

The bear kid didn't learn anything else, but he was very righteous.

In his point of view, he is on vacation now, why can't he play role-playing games with the eunuchs?

Does the emperor's father still feel sorry for the broken thing?

Zhu Youtang said angrily: "Anyone who dares to bring these playful things to the prince, don't say that I will let his head fall to the ground!"

All the eunuchs were obedient, but they were all shocked.

The screams of Liu Jin being beaten came from outside.

Xiao Jing came in from the outside and asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know..."

"Send him to the Clothes Bureau, and he will not be allowed to enter the gate of the East Palace from now on!"

It doesn't need to be said clearly, because the Huanyi Bureau is not in the imperial city.

"Father..."

"You scoundrel, if you dare to do anything wrong again, we will see how I punish you! Is Bingkuan gone?"

Dai Yi said: "Go back to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is still in the back garden of the palace."

Zhu Youtang said: "Call Bingkuan and let Bingkuan educate him! Tell him what he did wrong! Let him think behind closed doors! Give him more homework every day! Hmph!"

He said that he would punish the prince, but in fact Zhu Youtang had nothing to do with the son, and he didn't want to put his son in confinement again, because Zhang Zhou said that this was not good for the prince's character development.

Then Zhu Youtang just said the most cruel words and walked away.

……

……

After Zhang Zhou finished the ritual, he went to Wenhua Hall under the guidance of Xiao Jing.

On the way, Zhang Zhou knew the whole story...

"Where is that Eunuch Liu?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Xiao Jing sighed: "Fahuanyi Bureau is the supervisor, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the Wenhua Palace for the rest of my life, alas!"

It came out of Xiao Jing's mouth, with a little regret.

The fault lies with the young master, but Liu Jin is responsible. It's not that Xiao Jing is sympathetic to Liu Jin, but he feels that this mode of taking responsibility is unfair.

Zhang Zhou nodded and followed Xiao Jing quickly into the Wenhua Palace.

At this time, a group of people were packing up the things that Zhu Houzhao knocked over in the Wenhua Palace.

Everywhere is a mess.

Zhu Houzhao was sitting on the chair. He still had the exotic clothes on his body, except that he was wearing a sable fur.

Obviously, the bear child has not recovered from his father's criticism, and is annoyed at his father's domineering way of doing things.

Zhang Zhou walked over and saw that the eunuch next to him was going to remind Zhu Houzhao, so he waved his hand to signal that he could go ahead and talk.

Then Zhang Zhou sat down on the chair beside him very rudely.

"It's you?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou said: "Why is the prince bored?"

"Don't you know why I'm bored?"

Zhu Houzhao had a bad attitude.

Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "The minister knows, does the prince know that this matter is wrong?"

Zhu Houzhao wrinkled his nose and said, "What's wrong with me? It's just for fun. Could it be that I have to go to class every day? There is no class today, and even when I don't have class, I make Bengong act like a good boy. Can you sit there and do some quiet things? Is this palace his own?"

The bear boy has a temper and dares to say anything.

The only begotten son, out of habit.

Gao Feng hastily reminded: "His Royal Highness, please speak carefully."

"Speak carefully, tell him if you have the ability, at worst, I will also be kicked out of the palace, who cares about being the prince will be the one!" Of course Zhu Houzhao was not convinced.

Who said that bear children have no spirit of resistance when they are under pressure?
Haven't given someone to run away from home yet.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Prince, you are at fault. Your fault lies in the fact that when your father criticized you, why didn't you try your best to defend and fight for it?"

"What?"

Zhu Houzhao was a little confused.

Are you here to persuade me to bow my head and admit my mistake, or to sow discord?
Gao Feng on the side heard this, and took a few steps back in despair.

Meaning... I didn't hear that!
Zhang Zhou said seriously: "It's all fun, Your Majesty won't let you play? You have grown up playing a lot, and His Majesty will naturally be angry when he sees you messing around, but after being angry, he will also think that you are a child, and it is normal to be playful." Yes, the anger will disappear, and there is no question of who is right and who is wrong."

"Uh... the one whose surname is Zhang, I can see it. You said that on purpose, right? You instigated me to fight with the father, and then the father kicked you out of the palace in a fit of anger. From then on, you can finally Get rid of giving lessons to me! In order not to enter the palace, you really...what is that called, you will do everything!"

Zhu Houzhao seems to have "opened up".

Even Gao Feng was surprised, so you, Mr. Zhang, said this so that you would not enter the palace in the future?

Things that others can't ask for... Do you have a grudge against fame and fortune?
Zhang Zhou almost wanted to pick up the book next to him and throw it on the boy's head.

"Prince, can you understand people's words seriously? I'm teaching you to take responsibility! It's your fault. If you don't fight for it, Liu Jin was beaten and sent to the clothing bureau. From now on, he can't even enter the palace gate. Is it your responsibility as the prince?"

"You wait until His Majesty is angry, admit your mistake, and intercede for Liu Jin. Is this hurting you? Or just don't worry about any mistakes, and if you make mistakes in the future, just push them on the people around you, or you go Tell Your Majesty, I found Liu Jin's things for him, so that only you are right in the world, and everyone else is wrong. Satisfied?"

"I……"

Zhu Houzhao had never heard of this alternative education method, and was dumbfounded.

Sitting there can't even utter a rebuttal.
