My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 45 I’m still just a child!
As soon as Zhu Youqie finished speaking, Zhu Gaoqie held his chest with his hands, looking weak and humming:

"Dad, Grandpa, my chest hurts... I was hit by my cousin just now, it hurts... But please don't scold my cousin, this is all my fault... Although it was my cousin who scolded my eldest brother first, so I couldn't help but hit him... But after all, I was the first to hit him..."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui silently withdrew their gazes.

If Zhu Gaoyu wasn't their younger brother, they really wanted to say... what a poor acting!

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously had the same idea.

Looking at this grandson, he just felt pain in his eyes.

I want to curse...but this guy is telling the truth, but the tone he uses...is hard to describe.

But if I didn't scold him... when he was only five years old, he could rely on his strength like a calf to beat his cousin so hard that his face was bruised and blue. He would have a bright future.

Zhu Yunwen hid in the corner and ate melon silently.

Today's news is really exciting.

Fight, fight!

Let’s all fight!
None of these uncles and cousins ​​are good people!
Zhu Youjie was almost disgusted by Zhu Gaojie's actions.

He wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt a pain on his back, as if he was whipped by a horsewhip. In an instant, a burning pain rose up.

He turned his head in disbelief and looked at King Zhou.

It was seen that Prince Zhou had snatched the horsewhip from Zhu Di at some point and was holding it tightly in his hand.

Zhu Youqi was angry, and his eyes were filled with tears. "Dad!"

He really wanted to ask whether Zhu Su was his biological father!
Just because of something he said unintentionally, he was whipped personally in public?

Yes.

Always been this way.

Is not it?
Since I was a child, my father only saw my elder brother.

No matter how disappointing my eldest brother is, even though he is the son of a vassal prince and can only play drums, opera, Yuan opera and other unprofessional things, my father still chooses him as the crown prince because of the so-called eldest son.

The whip behind him was swung down again and again.

The emotions in Zhu Youqi's eyes gradually subsided.

Zhu Youdun didn't know why, but he felt a little uncomfortable watching this and wanted to step forward and say something.

Zhu Youjie suddenly laughed out loud:
"Brother, why do you have to pretend? Isn't this the look you want to see?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Youdun felt suddenly disappointed.

However, King Zhou, who had always been fascinated by medical books and had a gentle personality, was extremely disappointed and sad after hearing these words. Under the gaze of old man Zhu Yuanzhang, he whipped even harder.

But this whip...not only hit Zhu Youjie's body, but also hit his heart.

At this moment, Zhu Su was more angry at his son for not fighting back.

They are all vassal princes and have no hope of inheriting the throne. Since the old man has arranged a lifetime of wealth and prosperity for his descendants, wouldn’t it be good for him to be an idle prince?
Why do we have to fight?
As for Old Zhu, if he didn't smoke a little bit at this moment, what would Zhu Yuanzhang think? And what would Zhu Di, who had never suffered any loss and was cruel and ruthless, think?
Although Zhu Di and King Zhou were brothers and had a good relationship, no matter how good their relationship was, isn't it obvious who to support between a nephew and his own son?

What's more...it was Zhu Youjie who was wrong in this matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Youjie's stubborn expression and could tell at a glance that although this guy was being beaten, he was probably not convinced in his heart.

In fact, the harder the King of Zhou beat his son, the more serious the rift between father and son became.

This kid... I always feel like he's going to rebel...

The same goes for the fifth brother.

He was able to govern the fiefdom, but he couldn't discipline his own son... Although Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat unhappy with Zhu Youjie's actions, given the current situation, he was afraid that if the fight continued like this, Zhu Su and his second son might even become enemies.

Could it be that the relationship between father and son in our Zhu family is really so cold?

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Zhu Biao who died young, he couldn't help feeling pain in his heart.

But when he turned his head and looked at Zhu Di and his sons who were still making small movements over there, Zhu Yuanzhang's inexplicable feeling... disappeared in an instant.

Zhu Gaoyu, who was originally crying and howling on the ground, enjoying the fun, was grabbed under the armpit by Zhu Di and spanked.

Over there, Zhu Youqie was whipped by a horsewhip, but he didn't even utter a single cry.

But as soon as Zhu Di waved his hand, before he even hit his butt, Zhu Gaoyu started screaming:
"Wow, you hit me! Dad, you actually hit me! I'm going to tell Mom! Big brother, Dad hit me, and you just stand there and watch? I'm your dearest dearest brother!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi looked distressed:
"Dad, please don't hit me. I'm just a child, so just be gentle with me. You're an adult, why are you arguing with a child?"

Zhu Gaoyu: Hehehe.

As a half-tot, he really hopes to never grow up.

When Zhu Di heard these words, although he felt that was the meaning, he still felt something was wrong.

Zhu Gaoyu was a tough kid. He had been beaten on the buttocks many times since he was a child. So when Zhu Di hit him twice, Zhu Gaoyu didn't shed even a crocodile tear.

Instead, Zhu Di felt a slight pain in the palm of his hand.

He glared at his youngest son, as if trying to tell him to learn to be more obedient.

Zhu Su and his son are almost furious, and you are still laughing on the sidelines. Aren't you just attracting hatred?

Zhu Yuanzhang took in the entire scene in the hall.

Well, at least the fourth brother's family seems to be relatively harmonious.

This made Lao Zhu feel a little better.

However, his inner emotional changes were not revealed on the surface. From beginning to end, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was majestic without even being angry.

Finally, Lao Zhu spoke:

"This matter... was wrong for Zhu Youjie. But considering that this is his first offense and Lao Wu hit the child, we won't punish the others. When you go back, copy the Analects fifteen times, that's all."

King Zhu Su of Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

I have finally passed this hurdle with the old man.

However, the impression left by Zhu Youjie, the grandson, on Zhu was destined not to be a very good one.

But now, King Zhou can no longer care about so many things.

Anyway, as the son of a vassal king, as long as Zhu Youjie was honest, not greedy, and not ungrateful, he could still live a more comfortable life than most people.

Zhu Gaoyu was still smiling at this time.

He never expected that the emperor grandfather, who had been getting along well with him just a few days ago, would now target him.

I only heard Zhu Yuanzhang slowly speaking:
"Zhu Gaoyu, as a younger brother, although you were trying to protect your brother, which was a good intention, did you just hit your cousin like that?"

Zhu Gaoyu was confused.

He's just a child!
