King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

That's it.

After a long while, Zhu Gaochi sighed with a somewhat ashamed look, then shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly:
"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Second brother! Second child!"

"These questions, what you said are extremely reasonable and also very thought-provoking."

"It was my fault for neglecting it and thinking everything was simple."

"We must keep today's words in mind."

"If this little bastard Zhu Zhanji dares to do anything to us again, those inexplicable things, the so-called bad, inappropriate hobbies, and not striving for progress, I will definitely show no mercy and break the little bastard's hands and feet to see if he will behave himself."

Listening to the prince's sincere words, Zhu Gaoxu was tactful. He did not make sarcastic remarks or tease him. He slowly stood up from his chair, raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"Boss"

"If you can think this way, it's not in vain. Our painstaking efforts are not in vain."

"But as the saying goes, it is better to open up than to block."

"Since you just said it, that little bastard Zhanji did this because he was bored in the mansion and had nothing to do, so he had no choice but to find some fun to relieve his boredom."

"We can't really trap others to death."

"We have to give others some space to relieve their boredom and release their energy, right?"

"Whether it's daily study or classes, or asking generals to teach him military tactics, or training in the barracks, or letting him go to see where ordinary people in our Ming Dynasty farm and live, his time is fully arranged. Without free time, he will not be able to do things like having fun."

"This way, he won't disappoint so many people who have high expectations of him."

"dont you agree?"

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's advice, Zhu Gaochi paused for a moment, and had to admit in his heart that what Zhu Gaoxu said was extremely pertinent and there was absolutely no problem at all. After a brief pause, Zhu Gaochi was about to open his mouth to say something.

Just then.

From the courtyard next door where Zhu Zhanji lived, the sound of cheering was heard again, interrupting the words that were about to come out of the prince's mouth and breaking the current atmosphere.

“good good”

"I win again, hahahaha."

"My cricket is really brave and invincible. It's amazing."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's complexion, which had been slowly recovering, suddenly became gloomy. His half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and his whole body exuded anger and rage. He stood up straight from the chair, left Zhu Gaoxu behind, and strode towards the next courtyard.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't just sit there quietly, so he quickly followed.

Just a moment.

The two of them had already arrived at the courtyard next door, where Zhu Zhanji had just been laughing and talking. They happened to see Zhu Zhanji and a group of servants gathered together, all staring intently at a small and exquisite cricket figurine placed in front of them. They were watching with great interest, and their appearance was more focused than ever.

"Your Highness, you are truly amazing."

"Your Highness, you won again."

"Your Highness, you have a really good eye."

"Your Highness is mighty."

At the same time, several slaves who were watching the show gathered around him, flattering him and saying a lot of flattering words.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Han."

As everyone was cheering, the guards standing by and the servants who did not participate saw Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi walking hurriedly from outside. They did not dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly bowed and saluted respectfully.

The loud shouts and salutes instantly pulled everyone's thoughts back, causing everyone in the garden who were originally cheering and jumping to tremble involuntarily, and hurriedly saluted after coming to their senses:

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Han."

While he was speaking, the servants who had gathered around him tactfully stepped aside and waited quietly.

Zhu Zhanji, who had come to his senses, also noticed it keenly. He saw the Crown Prince and Zhu Gaoxu, both with gloomy faces, staring at him with unfriendly eyes. Under such gazes from the two, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, and his eyelids twitched.

I couldn't help but think carefully in my mind, did I do something that would anger God and man again, how did I make these two people in front of me unhappy again?

But after thinking about it carefully, you find that you don’t seem to have done anything?

It seems that I have been staying at home obediently recently. I haven't been anywhere, nor have I met any inappropriate people, nor have I said any inappropriate words!

It shouldn't be the case that I would offend two gentlemen in front of me at the same time!
But looking at the postures and attitudes of the two people in front of me, it doesn't seem like they are joking.

For this reason, Zhu Zhanji simply sorted out his slightly timid mood, and asked cautiously and tentatively:

"Dad, second uncle."

"What's wrong with you?"

"How come you have time to come to my courtyard?"

"But what's the matter?"

At this point, Zhu Gaoxu did not say much, nor did he answer, but he cast a look with a little pity at Zhu Zhanji, who looked a little urged, and then stood obediently aside to watch the show.

This posture was instantly captured by Zhu Zhanji, causing his already uneasy mind to become even more uneasy and fearful.

At the same time, he also understood that the person who came to cause trouble for him today was not Zhu Gaoxu, but his biological father Zhu Gaochi.

Immediately, Zhu Zhanji's heart skipped a beat, his eyelids began to twitch wildly, and he spoke cautiously,
"father"

"What's wrong with you?"

"you"

The words have not yet fallen.

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and looked coldly at Zhu Zhanji, who was standing close to him with a frightened and terrified expression. He did not answer his question immediately, but walked slowly towards an exquisite box on the stone table next to Zhu Zhanji with a gloomy face, and looked coldly at the crickets that were fighting unusually happily in the brocade box.

Afterwards, Zhu Gaochi turned his head and looked at Zhu Zhanji standing beside him and asked:

"Is this the reason why you cheered just now?"

"Is this the little gadget you've been using to kill time these days?"

The sudden question made Zhu Zhanji a little confused. He didn't understand what his father meant by this question and this expression. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, saying:

"Isn't this a nonsense question?"

"You know that the entire Prince's Mansion is your territory. What can be hidden from your eyes?"

"Moreover."

"He has been playing with crickets for a long time."

"It's not like you haven't seen it before."

"Nowadays, asking such a question." "What's the point?"

but.

Zhu Zhanji felt somewhat puzzled by this question, and at the same time he felt disdain and resentment towards it.

But he did not dare to say anything nonsense. After all, he had just seen the look on his father's face. If he frowned and said nonsense at this moment, wouldn't he be making himself uncomfortable?

There is absolutely no meaning.

Therefore, when facing Zhu Gaochi's question, Zhu Zhanji was unusually tactful, nodded honestly, and said in a deep voice:

"Yes."

"Dad, my son has nothing to do, so he occasionally plays cricket fighting to pass the time."

"Just now, it was because my son's cricket won that I couldn't help but get a little excited."

"If it is because my son was too emotional and affected my father and second uncle, and disturbed the conversation between the two of you, I will be more careful in the future, speak more quietly, or stop playing with these little toys."

While talking.

Zhu Zhanji did not hesitate at all, and his behavior was quite tactful. He raised his hand and waved to the servant beside him, and said in a deep voice:

"Here comes someone."

"Put these little gadgets in good order."

"What are you still doing?"

Although he didn't understand, he didn't understand his father's inexplicable questions.

But it does not mean that Zhu Zhanji is stupid, or that Zhu Zhanji cannot understand the hint and does not know how to act.

After all, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Since his father inexplicably asked about the current matter, no matter what the purpose was, there would always be no problem in taking the initiative to admit his mistake and put away the things and questions he was asking about.

This move not only demonstrated his broad-mindedness, but also made it impossible to find any fault with him.

Even if you are reluctant to give up, or still want to play.

Then put it away first, and after the Crown Prince and Zhu Gaoxu leave, at most you can order someone to take it out, and then continue together. At that time, do it quietly, and no one will be aware of what has happened. This will not affect anyone, so why not do it?

have to say.

Zhu Zhanji's behavior and actions here really make people find nothing to say. If it were normal times, there would be no problem at all. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help but praise him a few words, saying that he has a good understanding of the overall situation and knows the general principles.

But the bad thing was that he didn't know what was happening right now, or why the prince had that expression and gesture, or why he asked such questions.

to this end.

Even though his operations and behaviors seem perfect, I'm afraid they will hardly have any effect here.

Because the prince came here this time to target him, to play with crickets and to cause trouble for him. How could he leave so easily based on a few words from him and his so-called knowledge and understanding of the situation?

If this is really the case, then the prince's previous anger would have been a joke.

Hearing this.

Although Zhu Gaochi was very satisfied with his son's attitude and words, he did not waver in the slightest in his decision and idea of ​​what he wanted to do. He snorted coldly with an expressionless face, raised his hand and grabbed the ceramic cricket jar on the stone table, without any hesitation, in Zhu Zhanji's confused and doubtful eyes, he threw the jar heavily to the ground.

boom.
In an instant.

In front of everyone's eyes, under everyone's astonished gaze, it fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The crickets that were fighting happily in a pottery jar were also smashed to pieces here. However, it seemed that Zhu Gaochi was not satisfied enough and felt uncomfortable enough. In front of everyone in front of him, he stepped hard on the crickets several times, directly crushing the crickets that fell to the ground into meat paste.

That's it.

At this moment.

The atmosphere in the entire courtyard suddenly became frozen and extremely depressing.

After a long while, Zhu Zhanji came back to his senses from his daze. His face was extremely angry, and he looked at the prince in shock and anger, and shouted:
"Daddy. Daddy."

"you you."

"what do you mean?"

"Go crazy!"

"How did I offend you again?"

"My cricket."

"My great general!!"

"How could you do this? How could you do this?"

"How did I offend you?"

It would be better if you didn’t ask this question, and it would be better if you didn’t say this question.

As soon as these words were spoken,

The prince's face suddenly became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye. His eyes narrowed so narrowly that the slits in his pupils were almost invisible. His expression was also extremely cold. He shouted angrily:
"You're so embarrassed to ask us?"

"How dare you ask that?"

"And the general?"

"Still fighting crickets?"

"I didn't peel off your skin, which is already considered as my kindness to you."

"You still have the nerve to ask me for the result? You still have the nerve to ask me the reason for this matter?"

"What gives you the face, what gives you the courage?"

"What have you done? What terrible things have you done? Don't you have any idea in your heart?"

"Do you still need me to tell you everything? Do you still need me to tell you everything clearly?"

"Don't you really have any feelings at all? Don't you have any awareness of the current situation?"

"It's true. This kid is incorrigible."

"You disappoint us so much"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the prince suddenly acted foolishly and smashed the things that Zhu Zhanji used to fight the crickets. Not satisfied with that, he stomped hard on the cricket, with a gloomy face and at the same time, he kept thinking about the words he was saying.

Everyone present was stunned on the spot. They were all a little dazed. Some had no idea what was going on. Some didn't know what to do or what exactly had happened.

Even if the people in the scene wanted to persuade and rescue Zhu Zhanji, they didn't know what to say.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire place had solidified and solidified, becoming a substance, and I had no idea what to do. (End of this chapter)
