Chapter 51: Grandpa Emperor, I am grateful for your kindness!

Are you trying to cheat me?

This old man must be cheating me!

Does he really think I'm a three-year-old kid who can be tricked out with just a few words?

Besides, even a three-year-old child knows that if you confess, you will be punished leniently, but you will spend the rest of your life in prison. If you resist, you will be punished severely and can go home for the New Year.

You want me to admit it voluntarily? Humph, you don’t!

"Grandpa Emperor, you don't trust me. Am I the kind of person who would cheat?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhu sneered, pulled out a stick from his waist, and slapped it on the table.

"Go find a stool and lie down. I'll come and deal with you after I finish looking at your homework!"

"Grandpa Emperor, you don't trust me at all. I wrote until late at night yesterday..."

When Old Zhu heard his grandson complaining, he ignored him and just picked up his homework and looked through it.

However, Old Zhu only took one look and his old face couldn't help twitching.

"Little traitor, don't you have any other paper in your room?"

"With your dog-crawling handwriting, you have the nerve to write on the golden flower and jade leaf paper of Chengxin Hall?"

"This is such a thick stack, there must be at least a hundred of them, if they were sold outside, they could be sold for dozens of taels of silver!"

"What the hell, this paper is so expensive?"

When Zhu Yunhuan heard what Old Zhu said, he was also shocked, and then he was extremely sad. He secretly cursed Sandezi for not knowing how to save money and why he didn't tell him.

When Old Zhu saw his grandson's surprised expression, he immediately realized that the child was still young and had no concept of money, so he thought he was being a little too harsh.

"Later, we'll send someone to bring you some ordinary rice paper. You can use that to practice calligraphy in the future."

"Uh-huh!"

"Even if Grandpa Huang doesn't say anything, I don't plan to use such expensive paper in the future."

"I'm going to sell it for money!"

Old Zhu was just about to praise his grandson when he suddenly heard these words, which shocked him to the point of being burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Sell it for money?"

"Not really. Are you short of money in the palace?"

"Grandpa Emperor, just because I don't lack money now doesn't mean I won't lack money in the future!"

When Zhu Yunhuan got to this point, he began to complain to Old Zhu.

"I asked around, and they said that when the princes built their own palaces, the imperial court only built a framework, and they had to buy all the decoration and furniture themselves!"

"And in the future, it will cost a lot of money to go to the fiefdom."

"It costs money to build a palace, it costs money to feed the guards, and it costs money to develop the local economy."

"I am an orphan without a father or a mother. No one is destined to prepare these for me. Of course, I have to find a way to make money on my own!"

When Old Zhu heard this, he felt sad and angry for no reason.

Is this the only thing this kid can accomplish?

Why do you keep thinking about becoming a vassal king? Can't you think about something else?

Although Lao Zhu was angry, he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only scold angrily.

"Don't think about these useless things. Your most important thing now is to study hard for us!"

"oh……"

After scolding his rebellious grandson, Old Zhu continued to patiently look through his homework. After flipping through about ten pages, he finally felt that he liked it.

Then Lao Zhu started to speed up, reading almost one picture at a time, and soon he had read the fifty pictures.

When Old Zhu saw the obvious change in the handwriting, he sneered in his heart. It was quite difficult for this rebellious grandson to write 500 words.

In fact, Lao Zhu never expected that he could write a full thousand words.

As the saying goes , if you take the best, you will get something in the middle. If you take the middle, you will get something below. If you take below, you will get nothing.

The reason why Old Zhu set such a high goal was to make his grandson feel the pressure and then try his best to achieve it.

Therefore, when Zhu Yunhuan said that he had finished writing it, Zhu already knew that it was falsified, but he just didn't know how much he had falsified.

If Zhu Yunhuan admitted it honestly, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably spare him the beating because he had worked hard to write 500 words.

However, the grandson's behavior of not shedding tears until he saw the coffin deeply stimulated Lao Zhu, and he decided to teach his grandson a lesson.

"Lie down"

"ah?"

"Do you really think we can't tell that you only wrote 500 words?"

“Can you tell from this?”

“Hehehe!”

"Do you think that all the memorials we have read over the years have been in vain?"

"Hurry up, take off your pants and lie down on the stool. You still have to go to court after we finish the fight!"

When Zhu Yunhuan heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he started to discuss.

"How about you go to court first, and then fight after the court is over?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhu's face immediately darkened and he spoke to the eunuchs standing on both sides.

" Someone, help this rebellious grandson and find him a comfortable stool!"

As soon as Old Zhu finished speaking, several young eunuchs came forward and pressed Zhu Yunhuan down on the stool without saying a word.

"Grandpa Emperor, let's make a deal. You can beat me, but please don't take off your pants..."

When Old Zhu heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

The little rebellious grandson is still young, but he still knows how to save face!

Old Zhu stepped forward, pulled down Ni Sun's pants, and then looked at the scars left the day before. Seeing that Ni Sun had recovered quickly and the scars were almost gone, he raised his wrist and slapped Zhu Yunhuan on the butt with a "snap".

Zhu Yunhuan screamed in response, but after screaming, he suddenly found that it was not as scary as he had imagined, and it didn't hurt at all.

Old Zhu hit his grandson for more than ten times, and seeing that his grandson didn't even make a sound, he immediately gave him a hard blow.

"Oh, you really hit me!"

When Lao Zhu heard the loud howl, he immediately felt a lot more relieved.

"Do you know why I hit you?"

"Because I didn't finish my homework ..."

"But speaking of this, I have to talk to you."

"You are just deliberately making fun of me, bullying me because I am a poor child without a father or a mother. How can I finish so much homework, wuwuwu..."

When Old Zhu heard Ni Sun say this, he hit him hard again.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't we know you can't finish it?"

"The reason we beat you up today is not because of homework!"

This time it was Zhu Yunhuan's turn to be confused. If it wasn't because of homework, then what else could it be? Did he not provoke this old man?

"We beat you up today because you are dishonest and you are playing tricks on us!"

“Pah, pah, pah!”

Three consecutive heavy blows made Zhu Yunhuan grimace in dismay, and finally made him realize why he was being beaten.

It turns out that this old man knew that he couldn't finish writing and was deliberately waiting for me to trick him!

"It's okay to play tricks, but you're really smart in that."

"Look at yourself. You exposed yourself as soon as you entered the room. Your every word and action showed your guilty conscience!"

"It's just a trivial matter, but you wrote it all on your face. I don't even need to see it to know that you must be cheating!"

After Old Zhu finished scolding, he hit Zhu Yunhuan a few more times, making him scream like a ghost.

Although Old Zhu had dealt a heavy hand again this time, Zhu Yunhuan did not harbor any resentment in his heart. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain even though it was heart-wrenching.

The old man was right. My skill in cultivating my energy is too poor. I can't even lie. I deserve this beating!

“As the saying goes, if a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his dignity.”

"Writing all your worries on your face is a big taboo for a leader!"

After saying this, Lao Zhu saw that Da Sun didn't react at all, so he gave him another three-hit combo.

"Do you remember?"

"Oh... remember... grandson remembers..."

"So what do you think? Should we fight today?"

“You deserve to be beaten!”

"Since you said it's time to fight, then let's start fighting !"

When Zhu Yunhuan heard this, his scalp suddenly felt numb.

"ah?"

"Grandpa Emperor, what do you mean by that? Haven't we fought for dozens of times?"

Old Zhu ignored his grandson's complaints, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he clenched the stick and hit Zhu Yunhuan hard on the butt.

Zhu Yunhuan's defense was broken on the spot after being hit, not only physically but also psychologically.

“Grandpa Emperor, please be gentle. Your grandson is still young, but… ahhh… sob…”

Old Zhu whipped Zhu Yunhuan with a stick for dozens of times until he was screaming and crying, with snot and tears running down his face.

This is Mr. Zhu’s consistent style. If a child doesn’t cry after being beaten, it’s the same as not having been beaten at all.

Moreover, the volume of the crying sound should be considered. If the crying does not make the voice break, it means that the treatment is not effective.

"The reason we're giving you this beating today is to remind you that you are not allowed to lie to us, no matter whether it's big or small!"

"Unless you can deceive me so thoroughly that I will never find out!"

"Otherwise, once we discover..."

"Hehe, even a broken butt is the least of it!"

After saying this, Lao Zhu threw the stick away angrily and waved at the people on both sides.

"Send him to the Imperial Hospital to apply medicine, and then carry him to the main hall and let Mr. Qi discipline him strictly!"

Several young eunuchs carried Zhu Yunhun out, and he was in so much pain that he wanted to die.

"Please be gentle. It hurts when the wound is stretched. Woo woo woo woo ..."

When Old Zhu saw this rebellious grandson crying miserably, he immediately stopped a few people and said.

"Let's send it over in our sedan chair..."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qin immediately tried to dissuade him.

"Your Majesty, you will be attending court soon. The sedan chair has been given to His Highness Yunxun. What will you sit on to attend court?"
