Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not spare him, but instead held a cloth shoe in one hand and pressed the little guy step by step.

"Excuse me, but you currently hold no official position and are not yet a court official. Here, there are no rulers and subjects, only fathers and sons! If you know what's good for you, you'd better stick your ass out!"

Zhu Ming was stunned when he heard this.

This is not the script he had envisioned!

He had assumed that he had achieved great feats by defeating 100,000 troops in the northern desert and saving tens of thousands of soldiers.

Old Zhu would be extremely shocked, and might even bow down to him and appoint him as the greatest general in the land!

Unexpectedly, after he had done his job, Old Zhu actually wanted to beat him up!

Zhu Chongba, you have no heart!

As Zhu Yuanzhang drew closer, his imposing manner striking, Zhu Ming quickly covered his bottom with one hand and hurriedly reached out with the other to stop him, saying, "Wait! I... I have something to say!"

However, he hadn't finished speaking!

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped in his tracks, his expression suddenly changing drastically. Only now did he finally react, and he hurriedly said, "What did you just say? You ran off to the northern desert?!"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought to himself: That's the right reaction!

He just thought he'd picked up the wrong script!

But this joy didn't last long.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face instantly darkened, filled with lingering fear and anger. He berated Zhu Ming harshly:

"Who gave you permission to go to the northern desert? Do you know how dangerous the northern desert is? It's full of enemies of the Zhu family!"

"It's one thing for you to be so audacious, but you even dared to bring your mother along into such a dangerous place!"

"What if something unexpected happens? Can you take responsibility?!"

Zhu Ming immediately put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and retorted confidently, "With me here! I will definitely protect Mother, and no one will be able to hurt a single hair on her head!"

The soldiers, eunuchs, and palace servants in front of the palace were all stunned.

On one side is the ruthless and powerful Hongwu Emperor,

On one side is the Sixth Prince, who is only six years old and still very childlike.

They actually dared to stand up to the emperor in public with their hands on their hips and confront him head-on!

Under heaven, only the Sixth Prince would dare to do such a thing. The Sixth Prince is truly a brave warrior!

Everyone sighed in unison.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more furious, and snorted coldly, "You dare to talk back? Zhu Ming, you're becoming more and more lawless! Today I must teach you a lesson!"

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had other thoughts in mind.

This child has received a divine favor, and his abilities are growing ever greater.

If we don't discipline them now, they might really become uncontrollable in the future.

We must seize this opportunity today and make the best of a decision!

Just as Old Zhu reached out to grab it...

Zhu Ming was not about to obediently accept punishment. He twisted his little body, turned around, and ran wildly towards Empress Ma.

Suddenly, a comical scene unfolded in front of the solemn hall.

A six-year-old child was seen running ahead, while the Hongwu Emperor chased after him, holding a shoe in one hand.

The two of them circled around Empress Ma again and again.

The last time this happened was during the Qin Dynasty, when the King of Qin was being chased by Jing Ke.

This is what is known as the King of Qin circling the pillar!

Everyone present was completely stunned, not daring to even breathe, standing there dumbfounded.

Zhu Ming was being chased so desperately that he ran while shouting for help from Empress Ma:

"Mother, save me! Chongba hit someone! Chongba bullies children! Chongba is unreasonable!"

One sentence sent chills down the spines of everyone present, leaving them speechless with fear.

Who in the world dares to address Zhu Yuanzhang like that?

Looking at all the civil and military officials, the concubines in the harem, and the princes and grandsons of the emperor, apart from Empress Ma, only this audacious sixth prince dared to address them in such a way.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and said, "You brat, you have no respect for your elders! Today I'm going to give you a good spanking so you'll learn your lesson!"

Upon hearing her young son's plea for help, Empress Ma quickly opened her arms and firmly stopped Zhu Yuanzhang, gently persuading him and constantly speaking well of Zhu Ming.

"Zhongba, the child is still young, you can't hit him. I'll discipline him later, please forgive him this time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet responded.

Zhu Ming, who was hiding behind Empress Ma, peeked out and made a face at him, revealing a smug expression.

It's as if it's saying, "Hey, you can't hit me! You can't hit me, hehehe..."

This completely enraged Zhu Yuanzhang, who shouted urgently, "Sister, get out of the way! No one can plead for this brat today. If we don't give him a good beating, he won't know who he is!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, carrying a cloth shoe, lunged left and right, determined to catch the little guy.

Empress Ma stood with her arms outstretched, protecting Zhu Ming and blocking him from view.

This scene is just like a children's game of eagle catching chicks!

Xu Miaoyun, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle.

Thus, the stalemate continued for a long time, with Zhu Yuanzhang unable to capture the Ming dynasty.

Then, a plan formed in his mind.

He deliberately stopped, pretending to be helpless, and feigned listening to the girl's advice to give up.

Empress Ma and Zhu Ming were indeed deceived by him, and they relaxed their vigilance slightly.

In that instant, Zhu Yuanzhang feinted with his spear, then swiftly grabbed Zhu Ming by the back of his neck and lifted the little guy up!

Zhu Yuanzhang said smugly, "You brat, let's see where you can run now!"

Zhu Ming, who had just been beaming with joy, froze instantly, grinning broadly at Old Zhu, and said sheepishly:

"Father, we can make up, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang gave a cold laugh and did not reply.

You bastard Zhu Laoliu, you've even called me "Dad" just to save your life.

But don't worry.

No matter what you shout today, your father will not let you off the hook!

Before taking action, Old Zhu wanted to say a few more words and assert his authority as a father.

But the next second, something unexpected happened!

Zhu Ming's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Even his forehead was covered in a thick layer of cold sweat, his hands were tightly clutching his stomach, and his face was contorted in pain.

He grimaced in pain, looking as if he was in excruciating agony and could barely endure it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback and hadn't reacted yet.

Empress Ma's expression changed drastically. She immediately snatched Zhu Ming from his hands and turned to Zhu Yuanzhang, giving him a severe scolding: "Zhu Chongba! You know perfectly well that Ming'er has been frail and sickly since childhood, yet you still treat him so harshly and frighteningly!"

"If anything goes wrong today or tomorrow, I'll never forgive you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she carefully carried Zhu Ming in her arms, turned around, and walked quickly towards the inner palace and the Imperial Hospital.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood frozen in place, his outstretched hand hanging in mid-air. He opened his mouth, but all his words of explanation were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

At that moment, his anger vanished instantly, leaving only deep guilt and regret.

But just as he was blaming himself, he glanced up unintentionally.

Zhu Ming, who was perched on Empress Ma's shoulder, had completely changed his expression from one of agony to one of mischievousness, winking at her with a sly look on his face!

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized!

This isn't an illness at all; it's clearly that this brat is faking it to fool him.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly shouted, "Sister, don't believe him! He's faking it! This kid is pretending to be sick to fool us."

Empress Ma seemed not to hear, carrying Zhu Ming without stopping, and soon disappeared in front of the palace gate with the little guy.

Watching the mother and son walk away,

Zhu Yuanzhang was both angry and helpless. He stomped his foot and shouted, "What a disaster!"

The eunuchs and guards around them all quickly lowered their heads, pretending to be busy, and no one dared to look up.

They feared that His Majesty would vent his anger on them.

It could be fatal!
