Although Zhu Jingyuan understood what his father meant, he felt resentful at this moment.
The reason is very simple. He is also a son. When Old Thirteen is in trouble, his father takes care of everything for him. Now that the prince has spoken out and questioned such a trivial matter, the old man has not taken the initiative to resolve it for him.
You must know that in this year, Zhu Jingyuan has made so much money for his own money. In his opinion, it is better than Old Thirteen getting into trouble!
Now I am in trouble, but the old man can resolve it with a few words, but he is unwilling to help me...
The old man is too partial to Old Thirteen... Zhu Jingyuan's heart became increasingly unbalanced.
But this city is very deep, and the resentment in his heart will not be revealed at all. He only hesitated for a few seconds before explaining.
The thinking of this guy's defense is very clear. From the two aspects of urgent need to exercise power and overcorrection, he clearly demonstrates what it means to share the worries of the king and father.
The prince was speechless. In fact, at this time, even if he could use strong words to speak a few more words, it would be much better than simply throwing in the towel and admitting defeat.
Seeing the prince's silence, Zhu Xianming was not disappointed because he didn't expect much from him.
"Just make things clear. The Queen will host a banquet for you at Kunning Palace at noon. It's almost time now... You go first!"
Originally, Zhu Jingyuan wanted to stay. He came down to report alone, but the emperor said so and he could only leave with the prince.
After the two brothers saluted, they walked out of the hall, and then began a textbook-style showdown.
On the surface, the two were talking and laughing, but in fact they were ridiculing and sarcastic at each other, and they were fighting quite happily.
Oddly enough, the prince was slow to react in front of the emperor, but he became much more enlightened after leaving the Qianqing Palace.
Essentially, he is more courageous outside and can deal with all "challenges" more calmly.
The two went to Kunning Palace while talking, and Baochai got off the sedan outside Donghua Gate and entered the palace accompanied by maids and eunuchs.
But as soon as he walked into the palace gate, he met Princess Xu of Qingyang.
“I’ve met my sister-in-law!” Ms. Xu quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Signing Mrs. Xu to excuse herself, Baochai asked: "Are you coming from Kunning Palace?"
Mrs. Xu replied: "I just went to pay my respects to my mother, and now I plan to go back." We have gone to the palace, but there are still things waiting for us at home!”
Since her husband is not the legitimate son, Mrs. Xu cannot participate in today’s family banquet in Kunning Palace.
Of course, even if the queen would not drive her away, she herself did not want to stay there.
She, the princess of the county, is extremely noble outside, but she is nothing in front of her brothers and sisters-in-law. Naturally, it is best not to get involved in the fighting.
Baochai smiled and said, "I know you are busy, so go ahead!"
After saluting again, Mrs. Xu replied: "When my sister-in-law is free in a few days, See you again, sister!"
"Go, go!" Baochai waved.
Xu just took two steps,Just when he and Baochai were separated from each other, they suddenly turned back.
"I still have something to report to my sister-in-law. Brother Thirteen...is still at the polo ground!"
"The banquet at Kunning Palace is ready, and the Queen Mother has sent People urged him many times, but Brother Thirteen didn’t go over, because he was afraid that his sister-in-law should remind him.”
Baochai was not surprised at all that Zhu Jinghong would do this, because this was what they had discussed last night! As a result, Baochai was also late as planned.
"I know!" Baochai replied calmly.
After Mrs. Xu said goodbye and left, Baochai ordered: "Go and invite the prince over, and tell him that I will wait for him here!"
"Yes!"< /p>
A eunuch followed the order and soon arrived at the gate of the imperial garden. The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw dust flying inside, and more than a dozen knights running back and forth, cheering one after another.
Except for a few "old men" such as Lu Yuxin and Zhang Lin, those who played polo together today were all new guards of the Dragon Guard. These people will be the mainstay of the future army.
In addition to the dozen or so people on the field, there were seventy or eighty people watching the game, most of them were generals from the Dragon Guards and the Imperial City Yiwei Division.
This time the two sides faced off. The Dragon Guards and the Imperial City Yiwei Division each sent a team. Zhu Jinghong assigned himself to the Yiwei Division.
So the final result was that Huangcheng Yiwei defeated Longjingwei nine to three, with Zhu Jinghong contributing seven goals.
"Hahaha... today is so fun, so fun!" Zhu Jinghong laughed wildly.
And because of his voice, even though the game was over, it still led to even more enthusiastic cheers.
Although there is a polo field in the palace, it is rarely used on weekdays. Even if it is used for routine purposes, it is very rigid and not as lively and fun as today's game.
Zhu Jinghong jumped off the horse, and almost instantly he was surrounded by the crowd. The crowd either praised him for playing well, or shouted at him for another round. The noise was not lively.
"Okay, okay...listen to what I have to say!"
Zhu Jinghong shouted loudly, and the scene quickly became quiet.
"Today is a friendly match. The loser will buy you a drink. You can't regret it!"
Just listen to Zhang Lin say: "It doesn't matter if you buy a drink. The Thirteenth Master will make a decision then. Witness, we will compete with them in drinking."
At this time, a member of the Yiwei Department said: "We are not afraid of drinking!"
"You can compete! , As long as it doesn’t hurt your friendship, I have a lot of things to do recently... so there’s no need to go!”
It’s okay to play ball, but organizing so many people to drink in private would be too public for Zhu Jinghong now, so He rejected the matter immediately.
"If Master Thirteen doesn't go, the wine will lose some of its flavor!"
"That's exactly what it is..."
While everyone was making noises , Deng An finally squeezed into the crowd, came to Zhu Jinghong and whispered something.
"Okay, okay, don't rush me... I have important things to do now, so I have to take the first step!"
At this time, everyone remembered that this man is going to Kunming today. Ning Gong went to the banquet and had to attend the prisoner presentation ceremony in the afternoon.
Everyone did not dare to joke anymore and made way for him to pass.
Everyone was having a great time today, so even though Zhu Jinghong left, these people who were not on duty made another appointment for a football match.
After Zhu Jinghong left the polo field, he found Baochai a few minutes later.
When acting, one must do everything right, so Baochai complained along the way, saying that he shouldn't be so careless, just playing and forgetting important things.
During this period, Zhu Jinghong also defended himself a few times, but in the end he still couldn't defeat Baochai.
Soon the two came to Kunning Palace. At this time, the prince and Prince Rui arrived, and of course Yuan Chun and Chen Zhi were also there.
"Thirteenth brother, you are here. My mother sent someone to tell you that you are not coming, so I plan to come to invite you in person!"
When Zhu Jinghong entered the hall, he heard Zhu Jingyuan sound.
Compared to the prince, Zhu Jingyuan was more insidious and caused the most troubles for Prince Xiang's palace. Zhu Jinghong also disliked this sixth brother the most.
Zhu Jinghong has been "bullied" in the past few years, and he has basically never fought back. Now when he heard this guy's malicious tone, Zhu Jinghong's anger rushed to his forehead.
"Brother Six, you are active in everything you do. Of course you are here early..."
Zhu Jinghong's tone was unkind, and Zhu Jingyuan showed an awkward smile.
Seeing Zhu Jinghong getting closer and closer, and still staring at him, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Thirteenth brother, I haven't seen you for a year...could it be that I don't recognize him as a brother!"
When he walked to Zhu Jingyuan and stopped, Zhu Jinghong lifted the chair beside him and put it down heavily. To the former's side.
The sound of "bang" startled Lao Liu, thinking that the kid in front of him was going to be stupid.
The prince sitting across from him felt particularly comfortable at the moment. He liked to see the sixth child deflated.
"I'm afraid that Sixth Brother won't recognize me as a brother!"
"How do you say this..." Zhu Jingyuan looked calm on the surface, but he was actually ready to dodge.
Obviously in his heart, Zhu Jinghong still has a reckless temper, and he might actually fight against his brother.
When the cold air in the hall soared, the queen's voice came from inside.
"What's going on? It's so noisy..."
The next moment, Queen Yang Qingyin was supported by Yuan Chun and Chen Zhi, walked out of the screen and appeared in front of the hall.
"Old Thirteen, you missed the time and came here so brazenly, you are really amazing!" Yang Qingyin asked with a bad look.
"You are so good, why are you venting your anger on your sixth brother!"
Zhu Jinghong did not answer, because it was Baochai who spoke next.
"Mother, please blame me for the few words of advice I just gave him, which made him feelIt's unpleasant... That's why I was so angry, not because I was rude to Sixth Brother! "
Chen Zhi was very uncomfortable hearing these words. Zhu Jinghong even threw something in front of his own man. Isn't this rude to Sixth Brother?
"Baochai, you Sixth Brother Brother Dadu... I don't care about these things, but the thirteenth brother's habit of throwing things is really not good!
Baochai was about to reply when she saw the queen say: "That's enough... Everyone sit back. You are here to eat, not to cause trouble for me!" "
The emperor has always refused to hold banquets because he knew what the scene would be. Now that the banquet has started and the commotion has started, it really gives Yang Qingyin a headache.
"Everyone is on their own. Sit back and start arguing as soon as you come back... Do you know what it means to be brothers, friends and brothers? "
"Brothers must be filial and respectful, and younger brothers must be submissive. You claim to be highly educated, but you don't even understand this? "The more Yang Qingyin spoke, the angrier she became.
She was rarely this angry, so at this time, the three brothers, including the prince, knelt in front of the queen.
Yuan Chun, Chen Zhi and Baochai Likewise, they each knelt behind their men, praying for the queen to calm down.
"Fourth..."
"My son is here!" "
"Lao Liu..."
"Mother, please give me your orders! "
Looking up, Yang Qingyin could vaguely see her son who looked like a boy. With the help of the palace maid, Yang Qingyin bent down slightly and prayed: "Stop making trouble... okay? "
"Son, I obey! "
The two people answered quickly, which meant that they were telling lies. This made the queen feel even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't help coughing for a while.
This cough was terrible Something went wrong, and he coughed up blood continuously. The palace ladies on the left and right were so frightened that they quickly helped the queen to sit down.
"Mother...what's wrong with you?" "Zhu Jingyuan knelt forward and asked. At this moment, he was extremely anxious.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi interjected: "Old Thirteen, tell me what kind of temper you have, you will make your mother angry!
Baochai immediately stood up and defended: "Sixth sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. The queen mother was talking to sixth brother just now, why did you blame us!" ”
Baochai reacted quickly. She knew that the queen was in poor health. If Zhu Jinghong was somehow blamed, then Prince Xiang’s palace would be in big trouble.
Nima’s old man Six, you dare to trick me like this... Zhu Jinghong cursed in his heart!
At this time, Zhu Jinghong shouted: "Stop arguing, go and call the doctor!" ”
In fact, the eunuch had already invited the imperial doctor, and Zhu Jinghong shouted that he was caring about my mother.
The six people present had different reactions, showing different thoughts, and at the same time, they were exposed again The disagreement between the three brothers made Yang Qingyin even more uncomfortable, so much so that she started coughing again.
The three daughters-in-law squeezed closer, rubbing their backs and passing tea. It was Shunqi who took away all the jobs of the palace maids on the left and right.
To.As for the three sons, they were kneeling in front of their mother's knees, either panicking, crying, or blaming themselves. The main hall of Kunning Palace was much more exciting than before.
The Queen was ill, which was a first-class matter, so the news quickly spread to Qianqing Palace.
Today's luncheon at Kunning Palace, Zhu Xianming had no plans to go, and he would be angry just because he went, it would be better not to go.
But he could not have imagined that his three good sons would actually make the queen vomit blood as soon as they met.
He was so angry that he vomited blood. The point is that he was so angry that he vomited blood... Zhu Xianming was furious. This was even more uncomfortable than vomiting blood himself.
With a soft whip in hand, Zhu Xianming left the Qianqing Palace with a dark face, and hurriedly walked to the Kunning Palace with the eunuchs accompanying him.
The emperor appeared in anger, and the originally noisy Kunning Palace became dead wherever he could see it.
After quickly arriving at the main hall of Kunning Palace, Zhu Xianming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the queen holding the pillow and it seemed that nothing was wrong.
The three Zhu Jinghong brothers were still kneeling towards the queen. Before they could turn around and salute, Zhu Xianming whipped out his whip and whipped her.
The first one to bear the brunt was Zhu Jinghong, who received the heaviest blows several times, and then Zhu Xianming slapped the prince and Prince Rui.
Although the pain was gentler, these two people had tender skin and tender flesh, and they still groaned a few times under the severe pain.
"Unfilial son..."
"Unfaithful son..."
The emperor beat him and scolded loudly at the same time, so as to alleviate his anger a little.
Seeing the emperor lose his composure, Yang Qingyin quickly advised: "It's none of their business, don't fight anymore..."
With the queen's advice, Zhu Xianming turned to Zhu Jinghong again He cracked the whip twice, and then threw the whip heavily to the floor.
"Get out of here!"
Zhu Xianming shouted loudly, he was still furious, especially when he saw these three bastards in front of him.
The three princes did not dare to say a word of defense. After hurriedly kowtowing, they quickly stood up in panic, then turned and ran out of the hall.
Seeing the three people disappear, Zhu Xianming turned around and walked quickly to the queen.
At this time, except for the three daughters-in-law who were kneeling around the queen, only Zhu Yunsheng stood beside her, holding her mother's hand with concern and distress.
"Qingyin, are you okay?"
The next moment, he turned to look at the door of the main hall and angrily shouted: "Why haven't the idiots from the Taiyin Hospital come yet?"< /p>
Yang Qingyin said calmly: "I told them not to come. I accidentally bit my tongue just now, so there was blood... but it's not serious!"
"Seriously! ?" Zhu Xianming expressed disbelief.
So Yang Qingyin had no choice but to open her mouth and let Zhu Xianming see the broken skin. There was still blood flowing out at this moment, which made Zhu Xianming feel reassured.
The queen's health has been in poor condition. He is really worried that something will happen and he will lose the love of his life!
“These traitors!” Zhu XianmingI can't get angry at all.
At this moment, he felt powerless, because even if these were bastards, he still had to pass the throne to them.
Yang Qingyin explained: "Stop scolding... We have to offer prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the afternoon. If the royal family causes such a thing, don't let the officials see the joke!"
Sighed With a sigh, Zhu Xianming looked up at the roof and said helplessly: "In the past few decades, the royal family has been a joke!"
No matter whether his ancestor killed his brother decades ago or what he did thirteen years ago, All of this is known to the world.
After so many years of public opinion blockade and various ways to whitewash peace, to a certain extent, Zhu Xianming really believed that he was the Son of Heaven with an orderly inheritance.
But his three sons used the strongest force to wake him up from his dream every time.
