Chapter 72 Godson
Chen Duan followed Li Junhua and walked into the palace gate together. He saw King Ying coming with Li Junwei from a distance. He hesitated a little, rushed two steps away, arrived at Li Junhua, and whispered: "Crown Prince, King Ying is here, you can avoid it."
Li Junhua was puzzled and asked, "Why should we avoid it?"
"I'm afraid the King of Ying will be unhappy when he is in school today. If he speaks, it will hinder your face..." Chen Duan explained as gently as possible that as an experienced attendant around Li Mingxun, Chen Duan knew Li Jundu very well.
The Emperor of the Empire was a great martial arts emperor, but he was also a demon king-level figure when he was young. In many years, the royal family had only such a prince. The harem was favored by several princes, and there were several powerful royal relatives outside. The King of England can be said to have no scruples since childhood, and fighting in school is common. Chen Duan saw the matter in school today. Originally, it was just Li Junwei who had a conflict with his classmates after snatching the ball. Li Junwei had inherited Li Mingxun's big man and had a fat figure. He originally had the upper hand. But after Li Junhua heard about it, he forced Li Junwei to chase and beat his classmates, and then the other party seized the opportunity and punched him. According to Chen Duan's understanding of Li Jundu, he would not recognize this behavior of turning his elbow outward.
"My father and mother always teach us that we should not bully others in school, nor should we cause trouble. As a son, I will follow the teachings of the emperor and the mother. What is wrong with me? Besides, I originally worked in the school discipline inspection meeting, and stopping classmates from fighting is also my duty. What I do today is to be filial and to do my duty..." Li Junhua said with his head held high, looking like "I am right and I am afraid of."
Chen Duan wanted to persuade him again, but Li Junduo had already come over and asked directly: "Crown Prince, what's wrong with the third brother's injury?"
"I was about to go and tell my father and mother that Regal was fighting in school." Li Junhua said bluntly without any consideration.
Li Junwei was not afraid of fighting in school. He was punched and did not feel hurt. However, when he heard that Li Junhua was going to complain, he was immediately scared and cried out with a wow. Li Jundu hugged Li Junwei, patted his back and comforted him, and stopped Li Junhua: "I know the third brother was fighting in school. I also know that if you hadn't turned your elbow out and meddled with other people's business, the third brother would not have been beaten!"
"What is meddling in other people's business, what is turning the elbow outward? I..." Li Junhua blushed and argued.
"You are his biological brother. As an elder brother, when you see your younger brother fighting with others, you should help. This is a brother. Not only do you not help, you also use your power to suppress others and let him stop. He was punched in vain. What brother are you?" Li Jundu scolded angrily.
Seeing that Li Junduo did not care about the identity of Prince Li Junhua, Chen Duan quickly winked at Li Junwei's attendant. The attendant was also clever and secretly ran away to report the message. Chen Duan persuaded: "Your Highness, this is just an accident, and the crown prince did not intend to let the third prince be beaten."
"Shut up, you are nothing, you dare to be arrogant here!" Li Jundu shouted. Chen Duan was an old man around Li Mingxun. On weekdays, no matter whether you are an eunuch or a nobleman from outside, you are polite when you see him. No one has ever treated him with such an attitude, but he also knew that the two had different identities, so he dared not refute and bowed his head without saying a word.
Li Jundu looked at Chen Duan coldly and asked, "Chen Duan, do you know your guilt?"
Chen Duan raised his head in surprise, and Li Jundu asked: "When the prince was attacked, you are a servant, specializing in the royal garrison, can you protect it in time?"
"This...at that time...it was opened after the fight. The third prince was not in danger...so..." Chen Duan, who had always spoke quickly, was speechless.
Li Jundu asked again: "Will you be arrested and punished by the attacker?"
"This... Your Highness, he is just a five or six-year-old child, and he is also the legitimate son of the Chengping Hou family..." Chen Duan explained.
"You dare to talk back!" Li Junduo widened his eyes and was powerful without anger. After all, he was a long-standing battle formation. With a murderous aura, Chen Duan was so scared that he retreated repeatedly. Li Junduo's chief guard said: "The third prince is a noble, the son of the emperor, and the prince is attacked, but you even let the murderer go. How can you take on the responsibility of the attendant? Do you know the crime?"
"Knowing the crime, being humble and knowing the crime!" Chen Duan could only say.
Li Jundu said: "Your sin, go to the servant's room to receive punishment. I don't care about it, but you will collide with me and speak presumptuously... Kneel down! Palm your mouth!"
Chen Duan couldn't help but look at Li Junhua. Li Junhua stopped Chen Duan and said, "Brother, Chen Duan has no intention of being disrespectful."
"Is there any, I have the final say. The prince is still young, how can I know their bad intentions? My brother will help you discipline them today to save you from being lazy and crazy and obscene. Chen Duan, do you need to let me say it again?"
Chen Duan knelt directly on the ground, slapped himself, and continued until the queen arrived. Xuan stopped when everyone went to Changchun Palace, but he also slapped hundreds of times, his cheeks were red and swollen.
When the brothers arrived at Changchun Palace, Li Mingxun, Zhu Yushu and Li Xiangjun were already sitting there waiting. The young Li Junwei knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he ran to Li Xiangjun's arms and sobbed gently. After getting Li Mingxun's permission, he was taken away. Li Mingxun didn't know what happened. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Chen Duan standing aside with a swollen face. Li Mingxun asked: "Chen Duan, what's wrong with your face? Could it be that he had a fight with someone else?"
"I don't know? My face has swollen into a pig's head, I don't know?" Li Mingxun shouted loudly.
Chen Duan leaned down on the ground and didn't dare to speak. Li Mingxun asked: "Crown Prince, what's going on with your servant?"
Li Junhua said loudly: "Brother said he was guilty and let him slap himself."
Li Mingxun's face changed and he asked, "Junduo, what is Chen Duan's crime?"
"He saw that the prince was attacked and not protected was a dereliction of duty. Afterwards, he let the murderer go and did not capture him. He asked him about his son, and he tried his best to shirk his responsibilities and misunderstand it was disrespectful..." Li Jundu was not showing weakness.
Li Mingxun slapped the table: "What a dereliction of duty, shelter, disrespect... OK, that's right, then how should you punish him for these crimes?"
Li Jundu saw Li Mingxun's displeasure and lowered his head and said, "The emperor is above, how can the sons be the master?"
Li Mingxun closed the folding fan, reached out to pick it up, and picked out the sword of the guard beside him and flew straight towards Li Jundu. Li Jundu was skilled in martial arts and agile, holding it in the air. Li Mingxun said angrily: "I think he deserves to die. You kill him, kill him in front of me!"
Li Jundu knew that this was something he said in anger. He was scared and knelt down on the ground and placed the knife carefully in front of him: "I dare not, but I dare not."
When Li Mingxun got angry, the Changchun Palace was silent, and no one dared to speak. Zhu Yushu covered her bulging belly and said, "What are you talking about? She shouted and killed in front of the child. Jundu had the courage, and he was not afraid of scaring the child."
"He doesn't have the courage?" Li Mingxun was still furious and shouted: "Chen Duan's father died for me. Chen Duan was a guard by my side at the age of twelve. When he was a child, he also carried him on his shoulders and spoiled him. Well, now that he has grown up and become a prince, can he be a bitch like this? He is so bold in the palace. Outside, he has monopolized power and has a high position. I don't know how arrogant and domineering!"
"No, no, you wrongly accused the king again. You don't know how much he loves the king. At the age of fourteen, he went on a war for his father to attack the Western barbarians. He held the king for a long time and was reluctant to let go. This is because he felt sorry for the king for being beaten, and he lost his composure. How could he be as unbearable as you said, don't get angry or angry." Zhu Yushu persuaded him, and stepped forward to help his eldest son up, and then said to the guards: "You haven't picked up your broken knife and took everything to the Changchun Palace of the Palace. I am still pregnant with my child. How can I do it if the evil spirit hits the fetal god? Go out and go out quickly."
Li Mingxun also knew that he shouldn't get angry in front of the pregnant queen, and even used his sword to attack. He waved his hand and asked someone to go out. He pinched his forehead that was a little painful and said to Chen Duan, who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up too, explain the matter clearly in front of me and the queen, explain the matter clearly in the school, and explain the matter clearly in the palace gate. Don't miss any details. You know my temper!"
Chen Duan naturally knew Li Mingxun's temperament and told everything clearly. He neither concealed it for Li Junhua nor downplayed the matter of King Ying making things difficult for the prince. After he finished speaking, Li Mingxun pondered for a moment and said, "Chen Duan, go down and rest, give you half a month off. The rest of the people should go down, you don't need to serve you here."
Waiting for Chen Duan and his female servants to retreat, Li Mingxun asked: "Mr. Mencius said: Father and son have relatives, monarch and minister have righteousness, husband and wife have different parts, old and young are orderly, and friends have faith. Do you know?"
Li Jundu nodded slightly. Although he received new education since childhood, he had read the Four Books and Five Classics, so he naturally knew these sages. Li Mingxun asked: "Then how many of these five do you have?"
Li Jundu said: "Son minister...son minister..."
"You can't say it? Then I'll tell you, from the back, you are self-reliant, respectful and noble, and young, and have only subordinates and colleagues around you. No one can talk about friends, so naturally there is no trust in friends. Today, in front of the palace gate, scolding the second brother, who is a brother, but not a friend, but Junhua is a brother, but is extremely respectful, and you are disorderly in your old age. Although you have become an adult, you have never been married, so naturally there is no need to say that there is a difference between husband and wife. As a minister, you make things difficult for the crown prince and crown prince, and as an external minister, you have exceeded your power and beat the internal banned servants. This is the opposite of the monarch and minister, and you have no moral integrity. You have lost the four things. In the long run, can you and my father and son still have a marriage?" Li Mingxun asked.
"Emperor!" Zhu Yushu suddenly called out. He had no objection to Li Mingxun's education of his eldest son. After listening to Chen Duan's story, she also felt that Li Jundu had many mistakes, but Li Mingxun's last sentence was really hurt. She ran over and did not block Li Mingxun's mouth: "What are you talking about? Jundu is your own son. If you do something wrong, you will be your own son. Why don't your father and son kiss you? I don't allow you to say that."
Li Jundu, who had already kneeled on the ground, shrugged his shoulders and cried. Li Junhua was no longer an ignorant child. Seeing his father scolding his elder brother, he knelt in front of Li Mingxun and cried and said, "Father, it's my son's fault. Don't blame the elder brother, it's all because of his bad luck. He was beaten by the king, so he caused these things. When did the elder brother make things difficult for me? My son and I are brothers, and they have always been kind to each other......"
Li Mingxun stood up, patted Li Jundu on the shoulder, and said, "It's getting dark, come back home. There is one thing you must not forget. You Junhua is not only your younger brother, but also the crown prince of the empire."
Li Junduo lowered his head and his face was ashamed. He wiped his tears, said remembering, and turned around and left.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? If you say that, Junhua and Jundu are going to get along. They are brothers." Zhu Yushu asked in great anger.
Li Mingxun said: "Everything gains and losses will occur. If the king and his subject want to be righteous, they will not be respectful to their brothers and brothers."
"This...why is this happening, how can this happen?" The queen didn't expect it to be so. She couldn't help crying. Li Junhua hurriedly stopped crying and comforted her.
After a while, after the queen went to bed and rested, the father and son left. Walking on the path at night, Li Junhua was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Father, is what my son did wrong or right today?"
"You did right. Jundu lost his composure and scolded you in public, but you still maintained respect for him and did the right thing." Li Mingxun said without hesitation.
"No, I am not asking about this. I am asking about the Lord Wei fighting with others. Is it because of the right thing to do, or is it like the eldest brother said, rushing over to help the Lord Wei and helping him fight?" Li Junhua raised his face and asked seriously.
Lee Mingxun smiled: "What do you think?"
"The mother often said that as the crown prince and the crown prince of a country, the son minister should have a dignity and behave majestic, and often educated the son minister not to act recklessly in school and bully others. If the son minister helps the ruler fight, it will damage the prince's majesty and bully others with his power. It is wrong. But as the elder brother, he hurts his younger brother and does not protect the ruler well, it should not be..." Li Junhua looked contradictory.
Li Mingxun nodded: "You just need to remember that you are the prince."
Li Junhua was puzzled: "What exactly is the right way to do it?"
"You are the prince, and no matter what you do, it is right. You stop the fight, be loyal to your duties and maintain order. If you help the Regal fight, you are loving your brothers and kissing you." Li Mingxun explained patiently.
"Why, why is this happening?" Li Junhua was even more puzzled.
"The Father said that you are the crown prince, the crown prince, and the future emperor, and you will not be wrong. This is your privilege as the crown prince. As the crown prince, the burden on you is heavier. You will not only gain honor, but also question. Just as the father said to your mother today, there will be gains and losses. Today, you have upheld justice in the school and will be destined to make your brothers feel disappointed. Justice and personal feelings depend on how you choose."
Li Junhua nodded in confusion and then asked, "If it were you, how would you choose?"
"If it were me, today I would go up and help me when I saw my brother fighting with someone else, and then I would say that guy first." Li Mingxun said this without hesitation.
"Why?"
