Come on, Your Highness

Inside Qingzheng Hall

Emperor Tiangan sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression, and only heard the announcement of "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has arrived", he raised his eyes and scolded: "Let him get out of here immediately."

Such harsh words can be seen to be really angry.

Xu Zhi stood aside, Eunuch Huang glanced away, seeing the anger on his face, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

Feeling the actions of the people around him, Emperor Tiangan looked over and said, "Xu Qing go back first, and I will give you an explanation for this matter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I really don't have the face to teach the Eldest Prince anymore, and I am ashamed of trusting the Emperor." Xu Zhi knelt down to thank him, almost crying, then slowly got up, bowed and left the hall.

Just when Xiao Hong came in, the two passed by, Xu Zhi was expressionless, but his eyes were red.

Xiao Hong looked back in surprise, only to hear a cold snort behind him, he turned back, raised his head and chest, and saluted unhurriedly, "My son greets the father." After speaking, he stood up straight and still Slightly smiled.

Where is the appearance of about to accept the wrath of thunder.

But Emperor Tiangan was very angry. When he saw Xiao Hong, he almost scolded: "Xiao Hong, your ability is getting better and better! How dare you threaten the lecturer, who gave you the courage? Such bullying is really abominable!"

Xiao Hong said it almost casually: "Father, I don't know what Master Xu said to you to make you so angry with me. But after all, he is a family statement, so it is inevitable that he is biased. As another party involved, please listen to it." According to me, after you beat or scold, my son has nothing to say. Is that okay?"

After Xiao Hong finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed lightly.

This request means that Emperor Tiangan has to agree no matter how unreasonable it is, and the condemned prisoners still have the opportunity to defend themselves.

Emperor Tiangan said: "He can still wrong you, you say."

"Thank you, Father." Xiao Hong stood up, collected himself, and then narrated what happened in the past three days from the beginning to the end, and finally said: "Father, my son can't recite "The Analects of Confucius" This is naturally wrong, and I never thought of escaping it. As I said, I don’t need to be punished by my companions. I will receive it myself, and I will be convinced. I will not sue you after the beating. Even whoever criticizes him with this, I will defend him. No matter how ignorant my son is, he also knows that no matter if he is a commoner or a royal family member, it is normal for a student to be beaten by his master if he is a commoner or a member of the royal family. How can I have any reason to threaten Master Xu?"

Emperor Tiangan's anger subsided slightly, but his brows were still tightened, and he asked, "Then what do you mean 'don't do a wrong thing in the future, I will keep watching you, and I will never let you go'?"

Xiao Hong smiled again when he heard the words, took a deep breath, and asked, "Father, did Master Xu tell you why I said this?"

"He wants to punish He Xichao, and you threaten him."

"Father, do you think it's reasonable for him to do something to my companion after I have strongly expressed my willingness to be punished? In class, Master Xu once said not to take words out of context, which would cause misunderstandings, but I didn't expect him to I can use this trick better than anyone else."

Emperor Tiangan looked at Xiao Hong, who stood upright, raised his head, and looked at him with open eyes.

"It's the right thing for me to pass by for the prince. How come there are so many people in the study, and you have to be unique?"

Xiao Hong pouted his neck and said, "Father, what you said is so unreasonable. The duty of an accompanying student is to accompany and persuade students, just like the job of a master is to teach, and they don't come here to suffer. Others don't take it seriously. I don't feel sorry for being punished, but it doesn't mean I have to be like them! I cherish the friendship of Xi Chao's company, not to mention that it's not that he can't recite it, and this matter has nothing to do with him. Just accept the punishment, there is not so much jabbering."

That's right, this is a very simple matter, Xiao Hong can't recite the book, if he accepts the punishment, then he will be punished.

Emperor Tiangan was biased in his heart. He knew Xiao Hong's temperament very well. If there was no reason for the incident, he would not have done such an outrageous thing.

But he was a little strange, "Hong'er, I remember that you have already recited the Analects of Confucius, why didn't you recite it in class?"

Xiao Hongli said bluntly: "Not to mention that my son has other plans, but as long as he is like that, I don't want to recite it. In three days, everyone in the study room except me recited it. Hit. Everyone knows that I am the head of the house, and I will definitely not be able to recite it, but he just left me until the end, and waited for everyone in the study to protest. Resentment, it seems that not punishing Xi Chao is not enough to appease anger, why should my son carry it? To be honest, if he really slapped me, I would admire it instead, thinking about changing my strategy and doing a good job in class next time, I didn't expect it, hum!"

At this point, Emperor Tiangan has roughly figured it out, but Xu Zhi was chosen by him, so he couldn't help saying one more thing for him: "Then you shouldn't threaten him like that. inside?"

When Emperor Tiangan said this, Xiao Hong knew that the matter had been settled.

The big rock in his heart fell slightly, but he didn't dare to relax. His purpose was not just to clear himself of his crimes, but to make Xu Zhi completely unable to turn over.

Xiao Hong's mouth was a little dry, he swallowed, and decided to admit his mistake, "It's true that my son didn't think carefully, and he was also in a hurry, and he said something unscrupulously, but I don't regret it. Father, he dared not touch the prince, but You can play companion reading with confidence, isn’t this bullying and fearing the hard? It’s fine for ordinary people, but he is a master! Precepts and deeds, shouldn’t he pay more attention to character in his words and deeds?”

Emperor Tiangan's face darkened slightly.

Xiao Hong continued: "My son doesn't like to sue, and thinks that such a person is more incompetent. But I don't want to be splashed with dirty water. Last time when I went to the study to fight, everyone said that Xi Chao and I caused trouble. Knowing that we endured it for a long time, we had no choice but to fight back. This Master Xu sat in the hall, and he saw clearly how Tian Xichao was bullied for so many years, but he never said a word, or stopped him even once. He was afraid of being retaliated by Xiao Ming and the others, but wouldn't he report our studies to you? Did he mention it to you? Father, my son doesn't want to learn from him in such an irresponsible manner, and I believe you won't either. "

Eunuch Huang came in with some tea, Xiao Hong talked too much, his mouth was dry, he took the tea, and took two gulps, but the result was too much force, he coughed non-stop.

"Drink slowly, no one will grab you." Emperor Tiangan said, but his tone was much gentler, with concern.

Xiao Hong said, "I'm hungry."

It was noon after class in the study room, and I hadn't arrived at Jing'an Palace yet, and I was dragged into such a question again.

"The old slave will pass on the meal immediately, and the eldest prince will stay here to accompany the emperor." Eunuch Huang said and looked at Emperor Tiangan.

The latter didn't refuse, so he went out with a smile.

"I want to eat loquat dew."

"Yes, yes, let the kitchen do it."

With the rapid operation of brainpower and the expenditure of physical strength, Xiao Hong was really hungry. Holding a bowl, one chopstick and another chopstick, after a while, the two bowls of rice were bottomed out. I usually eat a lot.

No wonder people say that a half-sized child eats a poor old man, and ordinary people are afraid that they really can't afford it.

When Xiao Hong wanted to add another bowl, Emperor Tiangan put down his chopsticks and stopped him, "Order the soup, and don't eat the rice, it will be uncomfortable to accumulate food later."

After two bowls of rice, Xiao Hong finally regained his strength.

He said, "Father, what are you going to do with this matter?"

Emperor Tiangan looked at him, "You are right anyway, how do you want to deal with it?"

Xiao Hong said embarrassingly: "This... my son dare not speak up. Who doesn't know that you are the most fair and just, and you have never favored anyone. My son is just explaining the truth clearly."

"Fair and just?" Emperor Tiangan laughed, "I didn't even ask a few words, but you gave a speech, isn't it because you are afraid that I will punish you?"

Xiao Hong was not happy when he heard the words, "You can't blame my son. As soon as I entered the door, you didn't ask me clearly, and you scolded me. What can I do with my son, I can only argue with reason. Father, my son is already ten years old. I am old, you can no longer treat me as a child, if you do something wrong, you will admit it, and you will never escape what you should bear. It was not my mistake, and I will not let anyone wrong me, right?"

Emperor Tiangan nodded, "Yes, but Xu Zhi is certainly wrong, but you are also wrong, do you admit it?"

"Admit it, I was wrong for not reciting "The Analects of Confucius". No matter what he did, he is a master in the study after all. I shouldn't threaten him like that. This is probably the only thing that people criticize, and it is also your son's recklessness. If you punish him like this, your son will have nothing to say."

Xiao Hong stood up and stood in front of Emperor Tiangan with his hands tied and his head bowed.

Emperor Tiangan let out a heavy breath and looked at the eldest son in front of him with a headache and a hint of pride.

He said: "Xu Zhi is the principal of the Hanlin Academy. The Imperial Academy is noble, and the scholars all over the world yearn for him. Scholars admire him. You are a prince, but you use your power to oppress others. It is really a big taboo."

"Yes, my son knows his mistake."

"Scholastics can be suppressed and cannot be bullied. They dare to say anything. Even I can't deal with scholars arbitrarily. You must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future."

Xiao Hong's heart moved slightly, he nodded and said: "Yes, my son will follow the instruction."

"Punishment, you must be punished. For your high-ranking words, come and give the Eldest Prince twenty sticks."

Xiao Hong's face suddenly turned pale, Emperor Tiangan looked at him, and suddenly suggested: "Or let you share a little with the reading, half of each person?"

Xiao Hong immediately shook his head, "No, my son will receive the punishment himself."

Protecting the ground is really solid, Emperor Tiangan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say much anymore.

These [-] boards were played at the main entrance of the Qingzheng Hall, guards and palace people all watched.

Emperor Tiangan looked at Xiao Hong lying on the bench, his brows were frowned, and his eyes were full of unbearable, he turned his head to look at Eunuch Huang.

The latter said in a low voice: "The old slave has already given orders, they act with discretion, the eldest prince can get out of bed and walk around after lying down for one night."

"He should also improve his memory."

The twenty sticks were finished soon, Xiao Hong tilted his body and fell off the bench, he didn't move for a while, as if he was in excruciating pain.

An anxious look flashed in Emperor Tiangan's eyes, "Physician Xuan."

"Yes."

After seeing the servants lifting Xiao Hong one after another and sending him back to Jing'an Palace, Emperor Tiangan also turned around and entered the Qingzheng Hall. At the moment he turned around, Eunuch Huang heard him order: "Let someone go and check, Spring Festival Li Xuzhi has met someone."

Eunuch Huang immediately bowed and replied, "Yes."

Xiao Hong was carried back to Jing'an Palace again under the attention of everyone.

Nanny Shen and Xinrui were almost heartbroken, and hurriedly sent him to the bedroom.

However, when they took off Xiao Hong's pants, they couldn't help being stunned.

Red is naturally red, but there seems to be nothing but red.

Twenty boards?

"Where's Xi Chao?" Xiao Hong, who was dying, was about to die, and looked for his military adviser everywhere with his neck straightened.

"Here." Xiao Hong looked back and saw He Xichao poking his ass with his index finger, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

The veins on Xiao Hong's forehead twitched, and he almost jumped up, "Of course it hurts, twenty sticks, it makes a sound when it falls on the buttocks, so many people are watching, do you really think it's just an act?"

He Xichao withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that the person carrying the stick can control the degree of injury with the same strength and the same sound according to the above. You are... the lightest?"

"Father said he had to hit me." Xiao Hong lay down to share his feelings, "It just hurts, a little spicy, and it's different from the last time when I moved a little bit and I could die. I feel like I can get out of bed right away."

"Don't, lie on your stomach honestly, it will take at least three days to come down."

"It's so long!"

"Of course you have to pretend to look like it. Maybe someone will come to see you at any time."

"Who will come to see me?" Xiao Hong asked doubtfully.

"Aren't your younger brothers and sisters coming to visit? Is the "Book of Filial Piety" copied for nothing last time? What you think in your heart is the same thing, but you still have to do it on the surface. , Come by the way to see how miserable you are, tsk tsk, I'm happy just thinking about it."

Xiao Hong: "..."

The imperial doctor was recruited to Jing'an Palace in a hurry. Facing the intact, red buttocks, he really didn't know what he could do.

He Xichao said: "Your Highness is in pain from the beating, take a look, is it a little swollen?"

Have it?

"I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed for three days?"

How come, think about it now and you can download it.

"You can prescribe a prescription. Cold compresses can be taken internally so that the recovery will be faster."

Can medicine be used indiscriminately?The doctor is a little messy.

But those who can look like a human being in the palace have a bit of ability to read words and deeds.

The plank was beaten by the emperor's order, it was said that it was twenty sticks, but this is not a wound of twenty sticks, without the emperor's order, no one would dare to do this in private.

The imperial doctor changed his mind, and immediately prescribed a pair of topical medicines to relieve heat and relieve pain, and a body-nourishing decoction to strengthen the foundation and restore vitality. The amount for three days is enough for Xiao Hong to play tricks.
