Chapter 111 Zhu Yuanzhang's Anger at Hu Dahai
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his confidants and suddenly asked someone to bring a pile of books.
He laughed heartily and said, "Come and see, everyone. Other emperors don't have books specially compiled for them, but as the future emperor, every book I read has someone specially compiled for me. Hahahaha, are you jealous?"
When everyone looked at the covers of the books, they knew that they were all written by Chen Biao.
Chen Biao could even compose rhymes for soldiers he didn't even know, so he'd certainly do it for his own father. He read and took notes, which became Zhu Yuanzhang's "teaching materials." Between the lines, Chen Biao's complaints and pampering, born of his longing for Zhu Yuanzhang, etched a veil on everyone's eyes.
I want to take it home!
Whether it is Biaoer or Biaoer’s notes, they all want to take them home!
Li Shanchang, who prided himself on his broad-mindedness, could not help but feel jealous: "My lord, how did you get such a good son?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Not only do I have such a good son, I also have the most perfect wife, many good brothers, and I can even be the emperor. Are you jealous?"
Li Shanchang held his forehead and smiled: "Yes, yes, I am extremely jealous."
The others laughed too.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "All the hardships I endured in the first half of my life have turned into blessings in the second half. Well, I won't say any more. Biao'er will be back soon. I will go home and wait for him. You can do whatever you want."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang left his confidants who were working overtime and went home excitedly.
When he returned home and saw the thinner Chen Biao, he lived up to his reputation as "Biao'er's crying dad". He hugged Chen Biao and cried uncontrollably. He pointed to the sky and swore to chop off Hu Dahai's head to commemorate the loss of flesh for Chen Biao.
Chen Biao punched and kicked his father and became so angry that he turned into a pufferfish.
He thought that his father was implying that he used to be fat and a little fat boy.
Zhu Yuanzhang was really sad.
According to official history, Zhu Yuanzhang was very strict in educating his son .
Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, except the crown prince, all began wearing straw sandals and doing endurance training with the soldiers from the age of seven or eight, and received military training in the barracks like soldiers. Therefore, most of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons were good at fighting.
Although this also caused them to learn the ruffian spirit of the army at a young age, unable to suppress the bad side of their character. Even if they received a Confucian education in the future, some people's bad character has already been formed and is difficult to change. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was very strict in educating his children.
But what is the relationship between the Hongwu Emperor in the official history and Chen Guorui, the old father who dotes on Biaoer and cries as a child in this article?
When Chen Guorui saw the blisters on Biaoer's feet that had not yet healed, he was so angry that he almost burned his head bald.
He immediately gave Hu Dahai an imperial decree, asking him to respond to the sky alone and come to the Chen family as soon as possible.
Hu Dahai tilted his head, not understanding why the urgent edict asked him to go to Chen's house.
Hu Guanzhu asked anxiously, "Did the young master become ill from overwork in the military camp, and the lord asked you to apologize?"
Hu Deji said, "I told you, Dad, if you bully Biao'er like this, something bad will definitely happen. "
Hu Dahai said, "I understand my lord very well. Even if Chen Guorui is angry, my lord will never let me apologize to him. He will definitely understand my painstaking efforts. I think my visit to the Chen family this time is probably related to Biao'er's promotion of education in the army."
Hu Dahai frowned and continued, "Biaoer himself has already discovered that he used the nursery rhymes he wrote for the Hongdu garrison as an example, and asked other teachers to teach the soldiers surnames, numbers, place names, and other methods to stimulate their interest in learning to read. Biaoer means well, but other scholars will probably blame him for insulting education and the books of sages."
Hu Deji's soul questioned: "But what does this have to do with you going to the Chen family?"
Hu Dahai opened his mouth and raised his hand to try to beat up his eldest son who was pretending to be his adopted son.
Hu Guan quickly grabbed his hand and Hu Deji ran away quickly.
Hu Dahai was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Lock him up!"
Hu Guanzhu let go of Hu Dahai's hand and turned to run away, making Hu Dahai so angry that his forehead started to throb with pain.
You two unfilial sons! When I come back from Yingtian, I'll beat you to death!
Hu Dahai rode his horse back to Yingtian angrily. After returning to the city, he went home to change his clothes, found several carts of spoils that were said to be ancient books as gifts from the warehouse, and came to Chen's house nervously.
As soon as he entered the Chen family's gate, he saw his master with his arms folded, shaking his legs and staring at him with a bad face.
Zhu Wenzheng stood beside his lord. His face, which was obviously very majestic, forced out a servile expression: "Foster father, Biao'er is teaching in the primary school. No matter how loud you yell, Biao'er won't notice!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately raised his shaking legs and kicked Zhu Wenzheng's butt hard: "Shut up! The dog and cat are still at home, they already remember everything! Don't let anything slip."
Zhu Wenzheng patted his butt and said, "Yes. I'll go to the backyard and watch them."
Zhu Wenzhen gave Hu Dahai a look that said "you're finished" and happily went to the backyard to play with his two cousins.
Hu Dahai was stunned: "My Lord, you asked me to come to the Chen family, is there something important?"
"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand, and a servant handed him a stick. "I'll beat you to death!"
Hu Dahai: “?”
Zhu Yuanzhang swung the stick at Hu Dahai, who was jumping around on the spot, as if he was juggling with Zhu Yuanzhang.
"My Lord! My Lord! Why do you beat me up just because you disagree with me? Tell me the reason first!"
"Ah? My Lord, you really beat me!"
"This stick isn't hollow! Aaaaaaa!"
"My lord, calm down, calm down! Can you tell me why you are angry?"
"Even if I die, at least I'll be a clear-headed ghost!"
Hu Dahai was chased by Zhu Yuanzhang and ran away in panic.
Zhu Yuanzhang angrily said: "Biao'er is my son!"
Hu Dahai: "Ah?"
He was stunned and was hit on the butt by Zhu Yuanzhang with a stick.
Hu Dahai covered his butt and continued to run away: "Biao'er is the lord's son? Why does the lord... This is not important, I didn't offend Biao'er! I was very nice to Biao'er! Biao'er even gave me a gift when he left! Did the lord have any misunderstandings?"
Zhu Yuanzhang cursed, "Misunderstanding? The blisters on Biao'er's feet haven't healed yet, what a misunderstanding!"
Hu Dahai: “…”
He covered his butt and turned back: "My Lord, it's just a blister, why are you so serious? We all got through this."
Zhu Yuanzhang brandished his stick tightly , "How can Biao'er compare to someone like us who are tough and strong? Ah? If Biao'er gets sick from exhaustion, I will chop off your head with my own hands!"
Hu Dahai continued to flee: "My Lord, since you are worried that Biao'er will be tired, why don't you let Biao'er come back?"
Zhu Yuanzhang roared, "I do want to! But what if Biaoer gets angry if I don't let him do what he wants to do?!"
Hu Dahai: “…”
This is my lord? My lord is such a doting child that he's actually afraid of children?
Hu Dahai once said , "No one understands the lord better than me."
Now Hu Dahai wants to say to his former self, "You know shit."
So my wise and brave lord is actually like this in private?
Oh my God, is there any hope for the future of our Ming Dynasty?
Uh, Biao'er is the lord's son? Does that mean the future of the Ming Dynasty is actually quite bright?
In the end, Hu Dahai, who was beaten up, thought with a bruised face that he was full of expectations for the future.
大夫给胡大海上完药，胡大海龇牙咧嘴地揉了揉乌青处，对揍了胡大海一顿后神清气爽的朱元璋道：“主公，你如此惧……疼爱标儿，那你不担心瞒着他这么多年，标儿知道自己身份后，会不会和你生气？”
Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly, "That's something I'll have to worry about nine years from now. I'm not thinking about it now."
Hu Dahai: “…”
My lord, I take every step I take. Is it really okay for you to be like this now?
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I am helpless too. Biao'er will understand me."
Hu Dahai said honestly, "My lord, you were indeed helpless to keep Biao'er in the dark, but the many things you did afterwards...ah, didn't you say the beating was over? My lord! Put down the stick! My lord, what about your promise to accept advice?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I am no longer the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, but Chen Guorui, Chen Biao's father. Zhu Yuanzhang readily accepts criticism, so what does that have to do with me, Chen Guorui? Look at the stick!"
When Chen Biao returned home, he saw his father chasing Hu Dahai around the yard with a stick in his hand. A big question mark appeared on his little head.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Chen Biao asked in confusion.
Zhu Yuanzhang threw away his stick and smiled innocently, "I'm sparring with your Uncle Hu. It's a rare opportunity for your Uncle Hu to return to Yingtian today, and as soon as he came back, he sent you a lot of books to thank you. Why don't you thank Uncle Hu?"
Hu Dahai: "..." I was called back by your imperial edict!
Chen Biao had no doubts: "Thank you, Uncle Hu."
Hu Dahai forced a smile: "No thanks, no thanks."
Chen Biao asked, "Uncle Hu, would you like to stay for dinner?"
Hu Dahai said: "No need, I have to rush back to the barracks immediately."
Hu Dahai didn't want to stay. He was afraid that his acting skills were not good enough and he would be exposed in front of Chen Biao.
Besides, if he didn't stop beating people with sticks and run away when his lord saw Chen Biao coming back, wouldn't he continue to be beaten when Chen Biao left for something?
Hu Dahai left in a hurry. Chen Biao walked Hu Dahai to the gate, then turned around and said with a stern face, "Dad, you call that a fight? You took the stick and Uncle Hu ran away with his head in his hands. You call that a fight? You can't take your anger out on Uncle Hu just because I stayed in the barracks for a few more days."
Zhu Yuanzhang put one hand on his waist and rubbed his hair with the other: "Ah, I didn't fool Biao'er."
Chen Biao wanted to seriously reprimand his father for his wrongdoing, but seeing his father's cheeky expression, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Alright, alright, I know you're worried about my health. I know my own limitations now, and I won't go back to the military camp to suffer. I can't stand hardship, you know that."
Chen Biao sighed in his heart. Chen Biaoer, you can't spoil dad like this. Dad's current temper is all caused by your spoiling!
But seeing his father acting like a rogue, he couldn't continue to be angry, and Chen Biao was also very distressed.
Zhu Yuanzhang finished rubbing his hair and then rubbed Chen Biao's head: "I know you know what's going on, but I'm still worried. If there's a next time, I still won't stop you, but I can't promise that I won't vent my anger on others."
Chen Biao laughed and said, "Dad, you're taking your anger out on others, which is like hitting someone's butt with a stick ten times. I see Uncle Hu is having a lot of fun, running away and laughing at the same time. You can continue to take your anger out on others."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing.
…
"Dad, why are you smiling so happily even though you have bruises all over your body ?" Hu Deji and Hu Guanzhu were both frightened.
Hu Dahai, who would occasionally smirk, glared at his son, then couldn't help but continue smirking: "You don't understand."
