The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 70: Third Brother, stop it! If you lose again, you will lose your underwear to me! (Please read on)
"Third brother, you lose."

"Third brother, you lost again."

"Third brother, stop it. If you lose again, you will lose your underwear to me."

"Third brother..."

Zhu Ju killed his opponents in round after round, and by the end he felt a little bit reluctant.

The third brother, who had no treasures on him to bet on, started betting on names. The result was the same as the second brother, and he acknowledged him as the sixth brother, which made Zhu Ju laugh and cry.

If he wasn't afraid of his father's authority, he would probably even bet the word "father".

Looking at the third brother Zhu Gang, he now had a look of reluctance and helplessness on his face, like the kind of gambler who had lost all his money and had no money to buy breakfast when he just left the casino in the early morning.

"Alas, small gambling can make you happy, but big gambling can harm your health."

Zhu Ju held a pile of gold and jade objects in front of him and exclaimed,
"Third brother, I have a piece of advice for you. Never get addicted to gambling in the future."

"The water is too deep here, you can't control it!"

Zhu Fan: "..."

"Who else is coming?"

Zhu Ju looked at Zhu Di and Zhu Su and said with a smile,
"Fourth brother, fifth brother, do you want two more?"

"But let me say this in advance. We can no longer gamble on the names. I feel uncomfortable if you call me brother."

Zhu Su's face changed and he shook his head like a rattle.

He is honest, but not stupid!

Knowing that Zhu Ju is good at playing Gobang, he didn't go up to give him the treasure for nothing!
"Hahaha, good!"

Zhu Ju laughed loudly and said proudly,

"Now you are convinced, right? Board games are the most challenging of all intelligence. I am smarter than all of you. Is there any objection to this?"

The princes were all silent.

Although I was very unhappy, I didn't know how to refute it.

Zhu Di looked at the chess pieces on the board with a frown on his face.

"I feel like these few games of yours are all very similar. You are clearly following a certain routine, and this routine is sure to win!"

He murmured,

"So, as long as I can figure out this routine, I can defeat you in your own way!"

"In other words, this competition is not about intelligence, but memory. You won by cheating!"

Zhu Ju stopped smiling and gave a thumbs up.

"Fourth brother is indeed... uh, indeed a talented person!"

He praised sincerely,
"You figured out the trick so quickly, that's amazing!"

The fourth brother is worthy of being the Yongle Emperor in history. His IQ is absolutely top-notch. He discovered the trick after just a few games. If he had played for a few more days, he would probably have been killed.

Fortunately, I have won a lot of treasures, that’s enough!

"Humph, of course. When I get back and study it carefully, I will definitely find a way to defeat you!"

Zhu Di raised his head and said,
"Please keep my jade pendant and ring safe. One day, I will win them back!"

Zhu Ju smiled.

You want to win back what you lost to me?

Dream on you!

"The master chef is here!"

"Everyone, take your seats!"

A bachelor's companion shouted, and everyone in the hall looked stern and quickly found their seats and sat down.

Even Zhu Gang and Zhu Di calmed down, picked up the scriptures and sat down obediently.

"Who is the master chef?"

Zhu Ju was a little confused.

"It's Master Song Lian."

Zhu Su pulled Zhu Ju to sit at the back and explained in a low voice,
"The master teacher is rigorous in teaching and very strict with us. If we don't do what he wants, we will be punished!" "My eldest brother was taught by him, so the emperor trusts him very much and lets him teach. Sixth brother, you have to be careful and don't do anything in class, otherwise he will punish you mercilessly!"

Zhu Ju suddenly realized.

It turned out to be Song Lian, who was indeed the most outstanding scholar in the early Ming Dynasty.

However, it seems that his end was quite miserable later on?

He thought to himself and sat behind Zhu Su. At this time, a tall and slender young scholar was sitting next to him.

"I am Liu Jing, meeting His Royal Highness the King of Wu."

Liu Jing handed over a brand new copy of Mencius and said with a warm smile,

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has arranged for me to be your tutor. From now on, if you have any questions, you can ask me."

"Liu Jing will definitely tell you everything he knows."

Zhu Ju nodded slightly and suddenly asked:
"Are you Liu Bowen's son?"

"Yes, it's my father." Liu Jing nodded.

"Tsk tsk, that's great! As the saying goes, Zhuge Liang divided the country into three parts, while Liu Bowen unified the country!"

Zhu Ju exclaimed in amazement,
"Liu Bowen is a remarkable man! I must visit your father if I get a chance!"

When Liu Jing heard Zhu Ju's words, his expression suddenly changed.

"Your Highness, don't say that!"

He lowered his voice and said nervously,
"Your Majesty was so wise and brave to unify the country. My father only contributed a little. How can he deserve such praise?"

"Please don't say that anymore, Your Highness..."

Zhu Ju looked a little strange when he heard this.

I just praised your dad, there's no need to be so nervous, right?

But on second thought, it is understandable.

With my father's petty personality, if he heard something like 'Liu Bowen unified the country', he would definitely sneer and then spew out a series of sarcastic words, such as:
Liu Bowen unified the country? Why wasn't he the emperor? Does this mean that our Yuanzhang was just a puppet, and he relied on him to control the country?
Come on, go call Liu Bowen over, we want to ask him what he thinks of this sentence!

By then, Liu Bowen will definitely be the one who gets hurt...

Da da.

At this moment, a figure stepped into the main hall.

The person who came was an old man with white hair and beard. Although he was old, he was in good spirits. He stood tall and had a pair of bright eyes. He glanced at the princes and their tutors.

When he saw Zhu Ju, his gaze paused for a moment, and then he walked to the front.

"Master Song."

Everyone stood up and bowed to Song Lian.

Zhu Ju naturally followed suit and bowed as well.

"Everyone, take a seat."

Song Lian raised his hand slightly and said in a deep voice,

"Today, a new prince has come to attend the class. I don't know how good his skills are, so I can only teach according to the original plan."

"If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me after class, or ask your study partner."

"As for the missed lessons, Liu Jing, please spend more time and try your best to help His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu catch up!"

Zhu Ju nodded.

"Yes, Master Song, I will do my best to help His Royal Highness the King of Wu."

Liu Jing's expression straightened and he spoke seriously.

Song Lian nodded slightly, looked at the princes, and spoke without needing a book:

"Today we will talk about the chapter Gaozi (Part 1) in Mencius."

"This is an extremely famous article that expounds on Mencius's thoughts on the good and evil of human nature. Mencius believes that the essence of human nature is good!"

"First, let's look at this sentence - is it true that water has no distinction between east and west, and no distinction between up and down? The goodness of human nature is like the tendency of water to flow downwards. There is no person who is not good, and there is no water that does not flow downwards!"

"What does this mean? Does anyone know?"
