When Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others heard Zhu Houzhao's words, they all had the urge to slap the naughty child to death.

I hid in the bedroom alone all night, watching others feel frightened, and after coming out, I didn’t feel regretful at all, and I still shouted so much, how could I look like a good person who is good at books and polite?

Whether it is a noble family or an ordinary person, children will instill in the idea of ​​"filial piety for all virtues" since childhood. Li Dongyang and others have strict family rules. As long as children do something wrong, even if they are not intentional, they will be punished. At the least, they will be punished to stand and hit the palm of their hands, and at the worst, they will be hit with a stick to spank, so that those who come out of the stick are "filial sons". Even if they have some thoughts in their hearts, at least they are gentle, respectful and frugal gentlemen on the surface.

But Zhu Houzhao, who is the crown prince in front of him, is not even able to achieve basic filial piety, let alone etiquette.

Zhu Youzhi was so angry that his whole body was trembling and he kept coughing. Empress Zhang stepped forward and kept comforting him but to no avail. Empress Zhang said, "Son, why don't you admit your father's mistake?"

"I'm right, why should I admit my mistake? If I want to beat or punish me, I will be punished!" Zhu Houzhao still looked like she was unwilling to surrender.

The people present stopped talking.

Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others all understood that it was not appropriate to fan the flames at this time, although they had long wanted to use sticks to teach the emperor a lesson on this naughty prince.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qian suddenly came out and went forward to salute Emperor Hongzhi.

Li Dongyang and others were puzzled. Xie Qian was planning to add fuel to the fire and let the emperor punish the prince, which was a bad thing?

Who doesn't know that the emperor is just this biological son who is holding it in his hand and pampering it in his hand. Who is now going to be a bad person and ask the emperor to punish the prince? The emperor will not only be reluctant, but will also take his anger on others.

But what Xie Qian said was different from what others expected: "Happy, your Majesty."

With one sentence, Zhu Youting looked at him sideways... Hello, I respect you and call you sir. Even if you have been very capable in the past two years, you are also my minister. The prince is not convinced. You actually came up to say goodbye and thoughtfully look at me for a joke?

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others were all winking at Xie Qian, but Xie Qian was indifferent and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is now growing up, responsible and takes the initiative to take responsibility for others. This is what the benevolent king does. In the future, the prince will definitely be able to assist His Majesty and manage the government well!"

Only then did others realize that Xie Qian could find good words in everything. Even if the prince was already outrageously wrong now, Xie Qian still found one of his advantages, that is, "being responsible".

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others couldn't help frowning.

What kind of responsibility is this? I feel that the prince is angry with the emperor and said, "Everything is coming to me." I deliberately angered him. Thank you, don't flatter me, don't flatter me?

Queen Zhang looked at Xie Qian with gratitude. Now Emperor Hongzhi is punishing his son. Everyone is watching the fun, but Xie Qian comes up to speak nice things for the prince.

As the emperor's wife and the prince's mother, Empress Zhang most hopes to see a harmonious family at this moment. Whoever comes out to talk to her husband and son is the hero in her eyes.

Queen Zhang said: "Yes, my elder, the emperor has really grown up."

Zhu Youzing ignored the words of Xie Qian and Empress Zhang and shouted angrily: "Say, what have you done this night?"

Zhu Houzhao pouted and said, "What have I done? I slept under the bed for a while. I'm still sleepy now... I'm just spanking it? It's best to beat me to death. I don't want to live anymore!"

"Son, what are you talking about? Accept your father's mistake!" Empress Zhang went over and pulled her son, trying to pull the naughty child in front of her husband, but was thrown away by Zhu Houzhao.

"Ahem cough cough"

Zhu Youzang's cough worsened again, and the scene had reached a very embarrassing point. It seemed that the emperor had reached the point where he had to punish the prince.

Li Dongyang looked at Xie Qian, squinted his eyes slightly, as if saying, Brother Yu Qiao, aren’t you capable of expelling the prince? Why don’t you speak?

After coughing for a long time, Zhu Youzhang's breath became a little smoother, and he blushed and shouted angrily: "Come here, pull this rebellious son out and beat him, just pretend that I have never given birth to this son!"

Now even Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others who thought the prince should be punished, knelt down and pleaded for Zhu Houzhao. However, Zhu Houzhao himself had no desire to regret and still stood upright, as if he wanted to take it to the end with his father.

Xie Qian advised: "Your Majesty must not be angry with the dragon body. Now the prince has been found safely. You might as well let him think about his mistakes and wait until the next day to find a lecturer to urge him to study day and night."

Zhu Youzhi said angrily: "This rebellious son is unbearable. If he does not punish him, he may have done anything wrong in the future... If someone comes, take him out and beat him."

"Your Majesty, you can't beat the emperor's son, he is your flesh and blood." Queen Zhang knelt in front of her husband crying, pulling her husband's clothes and begging hard.

"Queen, you are pregnant, don't be excited... Come on, help the queen back to Kunning Palace!" Zhu Youzhang ordered the palace maid who was serving the side.

The palace maid came over to help Queen Zhang up and wanted to help the person away, but Queen Zhang held her husband's clothes tightly and refused to let go, sobbing endlessly. Zhu Youzhang was originally a gentle person who was easily influenced by others' opinions. When she saw her wife's appearance, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

Queen Zhang cried and said, "Emperor, don't beat the emperor..."

The breath was not smooth for a moment, and the person fainted.

This scared Zhu Youzhang. He quickly went over and helped his wife up. Seeing that his wife showed no sign of awakening, he quickly picked her up with his own hands and placed her flat on the bed.

Xie Qian muttered in his heart, "It's good that it's time to faint." The Xiefang Palace was already in chaos. Zhu Youting didn't care about punishing his son, so he quickly called the imperial physician to come to treat the disease.

...

...

Zhu Houzhao was forced to kneel outside the Xiefang Hall to "reflect" on his mistakes, but he didn't think he had any mistakes.

"I like the martial arts book written by Mr. Chen very much. Is it wrong? My father confiscated the book and I was not allowed to come back to see it. Is it wrong? I want to go out of the palace to find Mr. Chen and read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Is it wrong? I was angry and hid, and I didn't go to dangerous places, and I didn't hinder others. Is it wrong? My father wanted to punish me, but my mother fainted in anger. All this is not my business. Is it wrong?"

Zhu Houzhao has too strong self-awareness. He only considers himself and not others. In addition, his worldview is not formed and he believes that as long as he does it, he is right.

In Xiefang Hall, Zhu Youzhu was by the bed and nervously looked at the imperial physician to take the pulse. When the imperial physician said that the queen was not seriously injured, he would wake up naturally after he breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the inner room.

Except for Zhu Youzhang, everyone present could see that the queen was deliberately pretending to be dizzy to relieve the prince.

"You guys, do you think... how should I punish the prince?" Although Zhu Youzhang was a little angry, for the sake of face, the punishment could not be revealed.

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others were speechless, and Xie Qian stood up again: "Your Majesty, the prince is indeed wrong, but the lecturers and ministers in the East Palace are not well taught, so you are also wrong. Please punish him!"

Xie Qian is the tutor of the prince. Although this title is just a false position and he is not responsible for the prince's education on weekdays, it is still reasonable to say that the teacher is responsible for the student's mistakes.

When Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia saw that Xie Qian took the initiative to come out to commit crimes. If they were watching the fun, it would be less suitable, and they would all apologize.

Zhu Youzing looked sad and said, "It is my pampering to make the prince so naughty. What are your faults?"

The five ministers present were all thinking, "You, the emperor's father, still have self-knowledge, isn't it thank you for yours?"

But as ministers, they must not say such a traitor. In fact, they can understand Zhu Youzhang's situation. I remember that Zhu Youzhang was cautious in front of Emperor Chenghua, and they were in love with the lecturer of the East Palace. After all, there was the existence of Concubine Wan on his head, which made Zhu Youzhang and the people around him feel like a thorn on his back. But now Zhu Youzhang only has such a son, so it is reasonable to be more pampered.

Li Dongyang could understand Zhu Youting's suffering, and thought that if God could give me another son, even if he was a little naughty, I would let him go. Li Dongyang, who put his heart in his heart, had always been selfless but had lost his beloved son, felt the most profound.

Xie Qian said: "Your Majesty, the prince is obsessed with the child of Chenxi. Why not transfer him back to the capital and give more discipline to the prince."

"in this way……"

Zhu Youzhang's eyes lit up.

Now it seems that no one can teach this naughty child, except for Chen Xi. Emperor Hongzhi almost agreed, but Li Dongyang interrupted his golden words: "Your Majesty, don't, Chen Xi will adjust military affairs in the southeast. Now the orthodox army is leading the army to quell the bandits, and changing the commander in front of the formation may cause disaster. It is better to select young and promising people in Hanyuan to enter the lecture class of the Eastern Palace to teach the prince's knowledge and answer questions!"

Zhu Youzing couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly. He hadn't considered this before, but in addition to Chen Xi, the youngest Hanlin in the Ming Dynasty was also 25 years old. There would be a generation gap between three years of age, and there would be a teenager. In this era of early birth and early childbirth, there was almost a generation shortage. How could he gain the trust and dependence of the prince?

Xie Qian saw the helplessness on Zhu Youting's face and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well issue an order to go to Guangdong. If the child of Chenxi fights the bandits, he will let him leave to Beijing to report his duties..."

Li Dongyang quickly said, "Shangshu Xie is such a bad statement. Can't others strictly discipline the prince except Chen Xi? You also asked Your Majesty to surrender the emperor and allow the lecturer of the Eastern Palace to punish the prince and regulate the daily ethics of the prince. Strict teachers will produce high disciples. Please think twice!"

In this matter, Li Dongyang obviously had a dispute with Xie Qian. Xie Qian is now the Grand Tutor of the Prince and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, but he also has the title of Minister of War. Li Dongyang has never called Xie Qian "Shangshu" in front of others in his life, which shows that he is a little angry and embarrassed.

Xie Qian should think of some reasonable ways to regulate the behavior of the prince, rather than relying on a nepotism to rely on a young man far away in Guangdong. I can't stand your favoritism, so I will not respect you in words.

Just as Xiefang Hall was debating whether to transfer Chenxi back to Beijing or ask the lecturer of the East Palace to corporal punishment of the prince, Zhu Houzhao was also planning a new plan outside.

"My father is not good to me. I guess I am not my biological child. When I asked them where I came from, they stammered. Maybe it was really picked up by him and his mother from outside. No, I must find an opportunity to sneak out of the palace and find Mr. Chen. Only he can teach me how to fight with my father..."
