Chapter 138 Corporal Punishment of the Prince

"Click, click, suck!" Guo Baokun was eating refreshments and drinking tea. He secretly admired that it was worthy of being used by the palace. This tribute tea is indeed more fragrant than the one in his own house, not to mention the refreshments, which are from the imperial kitchen. The chef's craftsmanship is unparalleled in the world. Guo Baokun, who was eating delicious food, didn't care that the quarrel was over. He still enjoyed the delicious food comfortably and completely immersed in it.

"You!" The prince and the second prince looked at Guo Baokun who was leisurely enjoying food and tea, and suddenly became a little angry. They pointed their fingers at Guo Baokun and wanted to scold Guo Baokun loudly.

"Your Highnesses, the quarrel is over, let's get down to business!" Guo Baokun quickly threw the last piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth, then drank all the tea in the cup, and then interrupted the two men. A prince's rebuke.

The two princes stared at Guo Baokun with such shamelessness, feeling depressed due to his shameless actions, but they did not dare to continue to scold him. The reason was naturally not because they were afraid of Guo Baokun, but because they were afraid of the ruler Guo Baokun was holding in his hand. This represented Emperor Qing's will. Even though they were princes, they did not dare to violate it. They could only swallow their words in frustration, their faces turning red from holding back.

"Your Majesty asked me to give lectures to the two princes, so I can be regarded as their teacher. As the saying goes, there are no saint kings in ancient times who did not respect their teachers. These two highnesses do not respect their teachers and are arrogant and deserve to be punished. "

"It is rare for a man to be filial and filial, but to be fond of offending his superiors. Those who are not fond of offending superiors but are fond of causing trouble are rare. A gentleman is committed to his roots, and the Tao is born from his foundation. As the saying goes, brothers are friends, brothers are respectful, brothers are harmonious, and filial piety In the middle. Your two highnesses are ignorant of filial piety and respect for elders and younger ones. They should be punished!"

"Your Majesty rewarded me with a ruler just to discipline the princes for their mistakes. May I ask the two princes if there is anything wrong with what I said?" Guo Baokun asked the two princes.

"No!" The prince and the second prince replied dully, with dark faces.

"That's good. Since the two princes have acknowledged their mistakes, they will accept the punishment!!!" Guo Baokun said to himself. Seeing that the two princes wanted to refute, he immediately moved the ruler in his hands forward. The two princes could only suppress the objections in their hearts.

"Very good, please extend your left hands with the palms facing up!" Guo Baokun walked up to the two of them with a ruler and asked them to do as he said.

The prince and the second prince didn't know why, and looked at Guo Baokun in confusion. Because they were afraid of the imperial ruler in Guo Baokun's hand, they still stretched out their hands according to Guo Baokun's instructions.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah!" Without saying a word, Guo Baokun hit the prince and the second prince hard on the palms of their hands with the ruler. The two were stunned by the sudden severe pain, and they unconsciously tried to retract their hands.

"If you dodge, you will be punished 10 times!" Guo Baokun stretched out the ruler again and looked at the two people with a smile.

The prince and the second prince retracted their hands as if the stop button had been pressed. They endured the pain in their hands and moved their hands in front of Guo Baokun. Guo Baokun slapped the palms of the two princes again unceremoniously.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah!" The rhythmic beat made Guo Baokun vent all his depression today. However, the prince and the second prince were sweating profusely and their faces were blue. They had never I had been subjected to such corporal punishment and humiliation. Even when I was a child, I had never been beaten when I was studying in the Wenhua Palace. At that time, if the princes made mistakes, the ones around them would be beaten by their companions and chamberlains. They would bear it on their behalf, so I was extremely angry and angry. Shameful, with a look of hatred in his eyes, he wished he could just cut Guo Baokun into pieces.

"The two highnesses are resentful and unwilling, and they even want to take revenge on my subordinates!" How could Guo Baokun not feel the resentment and anger in their hearts, yet he still used words to stimulate them? people.

"Don't dare!"

"Don't dare!"

The two princes looked at the ruler in Guo Baokun's hand with fear, gritted their teeth and uttered two words.

"Whatever, even if you two have resentment and want to take revenge on me, I will never be afraid and welcome you at any time. However, if you are in front of me, your two highnesses must always remember the teachings of the saint and not be so presumptuous. Otherwise, I will still punish both of them." Guo Baokun didn't care about the threats and revenge of the two princes. To be honest, if it weren't for Guo Youzhi, he would not pay attention to Emperor Qing. As both great masters, Guo Baokun is far more powerful than him in terms of realm and spirit. The grand master is so powerful, why should he care about the feelings of Emperor Qing, let alone the two princes. To put it bluntly, Emperor Qing, as a Grand Master, was very powerful and lived far longer than ordinary people. Maybe the crown prince and the second prince were both dead, but Emperor Qing was still in good health, so these two people were not worthy of Guo Baokun's fear.

"Now that the corporal punishment is over, all that's left is the punishment of copying books. I also ask the two princes to copy the Analects ten times and send them to the Hanlin Academy the next day. Don't let others take their place, otherwise the penalty will be doubled!" Guo Baokun said again. After hitting the palm of the hand, another trick is to punish him by copying a book.

"Please forgive me, sir, my hands have been injured, so can you give me a few days' relaxation?" The second prince understood that there is no reason why people should not bow their heads under the eaves, so they had to resort to the bitter trick, hoping that they could be given a few days' grace so that they could take care of their hands. hurt.

"It's completely unnecessary. I've just let go of your right hand, so it will definitely not affect your two highnesses' study of copying. Please submit it on time, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences! By the way, if you want to file a complaint, please hurry up. I don't have the time to spend time with you two here, so I'll take my leave now!" Guo Baokun put the ruler into his sleeves gracefully and walked out of the palace with light steps.

"Damn it, a little fifth-grade minister actually dares to hit me!!"

"Guo Baokun, you are too presumptuous!!"

The prince and the second prince rarely reached a consensus on one thing and one person. Their faces were covered with frost and their hearts were full of murderous intentions. As princes, they had been aloof since they were young and had never been physically punished. They felt annoyed in their hearts. Shame almost made him angry. The two looked at each other and understood that the other wanted Guo Baokun to pay the price. Otherwise, the person who knows you best is your opponent.

The crown prince and the second prince carefully hid their red and swollen left hands in their sleeves, and then stepped out of the Wenhua Palace. They wanted to leave the palace and arrange people to take revenge on Guo Baokun.

"Your Highnesses, please stay!" Eunuch Hou had been waiting outside the Wenhua Palace for a long time. When he saw the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, he stopped them without saying a word. The two of them looked at the sweat on Eunuch Hou's forehead and realized that Eunuch Hou had been waiting here for a long time. His clothes were soaked with sweat. The sun in this summer was extremely hot, but Eunuch Hou actually waited under the sun. Look. It seemed that there was something important that made him dare not relax and could only wait under the sun.
