My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 12 Huang Zicheng's Wonderful Idea
Zhu Gaochi didn't know what he was thinking about, and the corners of his mouth were slightly stiff.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing behind him, burst out laughing when he heard this, and deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words:
"Yes, Big Brother has indeed become much more stable."

Zhu Gaosui watched as the war between the eldest and second in command was about to begin again, and he trembled and dared not say a word.

This is not the first time that there has been a war between the eldest brother and the second brother.

But... to be precise, it should be a one-sided war between the second brother and the eldest brother.

Sometimes Zhu Gaosui also thought... If he were the eldest brother, and had a troublesome second brother like Zhu Gaoxu, he would have beaten Zhu Gaoxu's head until it was covered with bruises.

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at the second child and said, "Big sister, look, does the second child look very bad?"

Zhu Yuying shook her head and laughed. Just when Zhu Gaoyu was about to laugh foolishly, she suddenly stopped smiling and gave Zhu Gaoyu a slap on the face:
"What do you mean second brother? Call me second brother!"

Hey!
These brothers and sisters are really worthy of being biological children!

As she spoke, Zhu Yuying switched from her tigress state to a gentle and gentle appearance in a second.

She wiped the sweat off Zhu Gaoyu's forehead and asked, "Have you had lunch? How much did you eat? I heard there will be horse riding and archery classes in the afternoon. You can't eat too much, otherwise you will feel drowsy during the afternoon classes..."

When they heard that there would be a horse riding and archery class in the afternoon, the group of people had different reactions.

Zhu Gaoyu was confused and ignorant.

As the boss, Zhu Gaochi looked at his big belly and fell into strange silence.

On the other hand, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui seemed eager to try.

Zhu Gaoxu's idea was very simple. When it came to classics and political theory, he could not compare to the eldest brother. But when it came to horseback fighting, even if ten of the eldest brothers were put together, they would not be able to defeat him with one hand.

Zhu Gaosui was even more pondering...

The second child got first place, so it shouldn’t be too much for him to get second place, right?
As for Zhu Gaoyu?
It had been successfully ignored by both of them.

……

East Palace.

Zhu Yunwen was sitting in the hall, and Huang Zicheng was sitting below. Occasionally, a breeze blew through the hall, and the ice cubes placed in the hall gave off a cool breath, silently soothing people's dryness.

It’s just that the restlessness on the body is easy to get rid of, but the restlessness in the heart... is not so easy to get rid of.

Especially now, whenever Zhu Yunwen thought of the look his grandfather gave him before he left, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

After thinking about it, he saw Huang Zicheng sitting below him and couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

"Sir, what you said today is a little too hasty. I think my fourth uncle is also a rare talent, but the Prince of Yan is obese and slow in his movements. The Prince of Gaoyang is even more irritable and easily angered, and is disliked by Grandfather Emperor."

"Zhu Gaosui is just a young boy, and as for Zhu Gaoyu... although he has some quick wits, he is not a cause for concern."

Zhu Yunwen paused, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Huang Zicheng:
"Although the Prince of Yan is not very good, his political views and skills were extraordinary when he was far away in Peking. Although the Prince of Gaoyang is not liked by His Majesty, his skills on horseback are extremely good, just like his father."

"As for Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoyu, whom Your Highness mentioned, although they are not very old, in my humble opinion, they will both be extraordinary people in the future and will accomplish great things. Especially Zhu Gaoyu, Your Highness, have you ever seen a five-year-old child who is as knowledgeable as him?"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, the pent-up anger in his heart became even worse.

Suddenly, he sighed: "My fourth uncle has already made me extremely vigilant. If it is really as you said, when I ascend to the throne in the future, will I, Zhu Yunwen, have a chance to sleep peacefully?"

When Huang Zicheng said this, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He lowered his voice and whispered:

"I dare to say that while Your Majesty is here, it is impossible to reduce the power of the vassal states. However... Your Highness is still a young man, and when he ascends to the throne of the emperor, he only needs to raise his arm and call for the emperor's army to attack the rebellious vassal kings in one place. How can he not win?"

Huang Zicheng's words were like a shot of adrenaline, which successfully cheered Zhu Yunwen up again. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and finally smiled:

"Sir, you are absolutely right. We have a horseback archery class this afternoon. Doesn't Zhu Gaoxu have the style of his father? I want to see if his horseback skills are better than mine, the crown prince."

When Zhu Yunwen said this, Huang Zicheng stood aside and showed a mysterious smile:

"Your Highness's abilities are naturally unmatched."

Zhu Yunwen laughed and shook his head:
"Teacher, there are always people who are better than you. Although I am good at riding and shooting, who knows if Zhu Gaoxu is truly gifted?"

When Huang Zicheng heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.

-

in the afternoon.

After a short rest, Zhu Gaoyu ran happily on the martial arts field full of energy again.

The footsteps sounded like a wild dog that was released from a cage and was running around.

Zhu Gaosui was a little surprised: "Although I am fat, I am strong. Whether I am running or doing something else, it does not affect me at all."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi looked at him with envy.

He also wants to be a little fatter and stronger!

The horse riding and archery class in the afternoon is simple to say.

In fact, it is just riding horses and shooting arrows. Like the adult princes and grandchildren, they can also lift some stone locks to hone their strength.

Zhu Gaoyu was still a little unfamiliar with the bow and arrow, so at the beginning, he just followed his brothers and watched them ride and shoot.

It was recorded in "The Biography of Yue Fei" that Yue Fei was born with supernatural powers and could pull a three-stone bow before he was crowned.

According to the conversion standards of the Song Dynasty at that time, the three-stone bow actually had a pulling force of about 350 kilograms.

Zhu Gaoxu inherited the horsemanship skills from Zhu Di in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. The most widely circulated saying among his followers was: "Use two stone bows and you can hit the target."

This is enough to show how terrifying Zhu Gaoxu is.

With the precedent of Zhu Gaoxu holding two stone bows, Zhu Gaoxu held his own small wooden bow and smiled secretly.

It would be fine for Zhu Yunwen, after all, he was the crown prince, and naturally could not be inferior to others. It was reasonable for him to hold a two-stone bow.

But this is really hard for those uncles.

What does the quarrel between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Gaoxu have to do with them?

But they were the elders, and for the sake of face, they could only give two crossbows to save face.

When Zhu Gaoyu was observing secretly, he clearly saw that several younger uncles' arms were shaking slightly and their cheeks were flushed red as they tried to pull the two stone bows, but the bowstrings in their hands remained motionless.

Zhu Gaoyu clicked his tongue a few times.

so far so good.

Who made him just a baby?

A five-year-old giant baby is still a baby!
The one stone of each dynasty is different. I have searched around and found that the one that is clearly recorded is Yue Fei and his people. I will compare it with the article. If there is any mistake, please post a paragraph comment. I will continue to verify the information after I see it.
