My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 43: United Against External Oppression

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen suddenly stopped talking, Zhu Youjie thought that what he said was reasonable and immediately became complacent.

However, Zhu Gaoyu was just a child. It was a bit boring to target a child, and it would not sound good if it were said out loud. Zhu Youjie did not think of continuing to argue with Zhu Gaoyu.

He turned around and looked at his eldest brother. Seeing that Zhu Youdun was still cheerful while listening to the tune, a hint of resentment flashed across his eyes.

Why can this eldest brother play around and indulge in music every day and become the prince of a vassal king just because he was born early?

Zhu Youjie clearly had great ambitions, but he could only be inferior to others. Even when he was mentioned by others...

Zhu Youdun was called the crown prince, but he was the second son and was not as good as the reckless Zhu Gaoxu who had the title of Prince of Gaoyang.

With his mind turning over and over again, Zhu Youqie said coldly:
"Brother is in a good mood. He even wants to listen to music in a brothel. If dad knew about this kind of lascivious music..."

Zhu Youdun had a very easy-going temper and looked a bit chubby, and looked very much like Zhu Gaochi.

When talking about music, he was very serious, even his serious look was a little silly and cute.

He didn't realize his brother was mocking him at all, and instead he seriously explained:
"There is a saying that among the six arts of a gentleman, there is also music. Let's not talk about the distant past. Just looking at the Yuan opera left over from the previous dynasty, there are many things worth talking about..."

This is so nagging.

Zhu Youxie was impatient to listen to those things, especially when he saw Zhu Youdun lecturing like a big brother, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart:
"What do you know? What can you do by listening to music? Can it kill the enemy, or can it govern the country?"

Zhu Youdun felt a little aggrieved:
"But there is a reason. We don't need to learn how to govern a country and kill enemies... Even if you are my father, you are just a vassal king. You just need to be kind and love the people and govern the vassal state well..."

Zhu Youqi choked, and after a while, he retorted:
"What can you do? You can only listen to music! You are fat and not as good as Zhu Gaochi..."

What do you mean not as good as Zhu Gaochi!

This is really infuriating.

Zhu Gaochi pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that it was a fact that he was fat. Although he was a little thinner than before, his base weight was still there, and it was too demanding to expect a significant change.

It’s just that I haven’t finished speaking yet…

Everyone saw a short shadow passing by like the wind, and then it leaped forward and kicked Zhu Youjie on the knee.

Bang!

The sound of his knee hitting the floor was so crisp that even Huang Zicheng couldn't help but tremble.

Immediately afterwards, another punch came at him. The fist was not big, but it contained tremendous force, which directly made Zhu Youjie's eye socket sunken.

For a moment, Zhu Youjie even thought that blood was going to flow from his eyes.

He covered his left eye and looked at the person coming with his remaining right eye, and saw Zhu Gaoyu's face full of anger.

He kind of broke down:
"Are you sick? I didn't scold you! Why did you hit me?!"

The most embarrassing thing was that Zhu Gaoyu, such a kid, was actually able to knock him down.

Thinking about what he had just talked about with Zhu Youdun, such as civil and military affairs, Zhu Youdun felt a burning pain on his face.

Got it!
Never mind that this guy is a child.

Let’s do him first!
In an instant, Zhu Youjie pounced towards Zhu Gaojie.

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were all angry!

Did they really think that the brothers were made of wood? Normally, there were quarrels at home, and there might always be conflicts between the brothers, but when something like this happened, even the second brother, who had always been the most troublesome and the one who had the most conflicts with Zhu Gaoyu, got angry.

Even though this younger brother is a bit naughty, he is his own brother and only he can beat him!

Who are you, Zhu Youjie?
How dare you hit my Zhu Gaoxu’s brother?

Zhu Gaoxu took a quick step and gave a flying kick.

That posture and momentum were truly unparalleled in bravery.

Although Zhu Gaochi was slow in movement and could not do strenuous exercise, he cleverly used his huge body like a wall to block aside anyone who wanted to stop the fight.

The most cunning one is Zhu Gaosui, the fence-sitter.

When Zhu Gaoxu was unilaterally beating Zhu Youjie, Zhu Gaosui pretended to stop the fight, holding down Zhu Youjie's hands as he tried to resist, while trying to smooth things over verbally:
"Hey, we are all brothers, don't fight. Second brother, stop it, stop it."

You can’t kill anyone by beating them like this!
Zhu Youjie was beaten so hard that he felt pain all over his body.

Are all the people in Prince Yan's family crazy?
He just said "fat", why did a group of people come up and start beating him?

On weekdays, Zhu Gaoxu didn’t seem to have a very good relationship with the eldest and fourth brothers…

Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened as he looked at the messy scene in front of him.

Are all of his cousins... so brave?
He started beating people up as soon as they had a disagreement.

Or is it that just the Prince of Yan's family is a little abnormal?

Thinking about this, Zhu Yunwen turned his eyes to the uncles beside him. He saw that some of them were looking out the window, as if they were thinking about something; some of them lowered their heads and fiddled with their fingers; some of them were so bored that they blew the foam on the teacup...

The corners of Zhu Yunwen's eyes twitched again.

I feel like these uncles don’t seem to act like elders.

Although Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Gaoxu had disliked each other in the past and had even had a grudge over each other over malt sugar, when they fought together this time to resist the foreign enemy, they had the same thoughts and an unspeakable tacit understanding.

Zhu Gaoxu was responsible for pinning Zhu Youjie to the ground and beating him, while Zhu Gaoxu sat on Zhu Youjie's chest and hit him in the face.

Soon, Zhu Youqie's face was covered with bruises and even his eyelids became swollen as if he had been stung by a bee.

But Zhu Youjie was a strong young man after all, and Zhu Gaojie was not paying attention for a moment and was punched in the chest, which caused a burning pain.

Zhu Gaoyu's fists were almost flying sparks.

bring it on! bring it on!
Let's have a battle between men!
Zhu Gaoyu looked as if he was as powerful as a tiger. At this moment, he felt that if he roared to the sky, he could even uproot the willow trees on the roadside.

However, when the battle was in full swing, Zhu Gaoyu suddenly heard a chilly voice coming from behind him:
"What are you guys doing?"

Zhu Gaoyu didn't recognize who it was at first, and replied subconsciously:
"Busy. Talk later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoyu felt someone poking his arm. The atmosphere at the scene became quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was Zhu Youyu covering his face and inhaling in pain.

This is... who is coming?
