Chapter 932 Discipline

Before dark, Yun Zheng and his companions returned to the palace.

It was only at this time that Yun Zheng had time to see his son and daughter.

After such a long time, Yun Cang can already be held by the hand and walk a few steps.

The little brat is not as crybaby as before, but he becomes naughty and naughty now.

He is so small that he can't even lift a finger, but he always wants to pat this and hit that.

Because Yun Cang is the prince of Jingbei, the people in the mansion dote on him and give in to him, making the little brat almost become a little bully.

However, Yun Zheng did not spoil this little brat.

Just when the little brat wanted to hit Shen Nianci, Yun Zheng slapped him on the butt, allowing him to experience a complete childhood in advance.

The little brat cried loudly, causing Yun Jin and Zhang Xu's son to cry too.

The whole family wanted to coax Yun Cang, but were stopped by Yun Zheng.

"We can't let him develop a domineering character! Otherwise, when he grows up, he might become a bully!" Yun Zheng looked at everyone with a serious face: "If the child does something wrong, he should be beaten and punished!"

"Isn't Cang'er still young?" Madam Shen advised: "A child this young doesn't understand anything. Even if he is taught a lesson, he doesn't know what is right or wrong!"

"Yes!"

Wei Shuang smiled, "Children all go through this."

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly and said seriously, "It is precisely because he knows nothing that he should be disciplined! Children are immature, but adults should be sensible and not spoil them blindly! It's just a small punishment, and it's not going to cause any problems. Why should you be so reluctant?"

A child's character and personality are developed from an early age.

The higher Yun Cang's status and position, the more discipline he needs.

He doesn't want his son to become a disaster in the future.

It may not be entirely true that beatings bring forth filial sons, but there is certainly some truth to it.

The so-called stick does not mean to beat the child into something, but to give appropriate punishment so that the child can remember the lesson and get rid of those bad habits.

Pamper when it's time to pamper, and teach when it's time to teach.

"Listen, Your Highness, what you said makes sense, right?"

Zhang Xu winked at Mingyue who was holding his son, "Children should be beaten when necessary. They are not that precious. Look, I was beaten since I was a child, but I am still alive and kicking now, right?"

Mingyue glanced at Bai Zhang but said nothing.

He only dared to say it in front of me.

If he dared to say that in front of his parents, his parents would have slapped him on the head long ago.

"OK OK."

Shen Luoyan stepped forward and patted Yun Zheng's hand. "We should teach him a lesson in the future. Let the nurse take the children away first. Once these children start crying, they will make our ears deaf."

"Ok!"

Yun Zheng nodded gently, and then puffed up his eyes to look at Qi Yan who was hiding beside Shen Nianci, "You kid, too. If you dare to be domineering, I will beat you up too!"

"Qi Yan knows..."

Qi Yan avoided Yun Zheng's gaze and answered timidly.

Although Yun Zheng spent relatively little time in the mansion and never taught him a lesson, he was still very afraid of this nominal uncle.

Looking at Yun Zheng like this, Ye Zi couldn't help but giggle.

This guy started to teach the two kids a lesson as soon as he came back.

If you don’t know, you might think that he was badly punished by his father and is trying to find a balance among these kids!

After the nurse took the children away, their ears finally felt a little quieter.

Madam Shen had already ordered people to prepare the banquet, and after everyone was seated, she told the servants to start serving the wine and food.

Yun Zheng and Zhang Xu hadn't seen each other for a long time, so when they met, they naturally had a lot to talk about.

Zhang Xu often starts complaining after only saying three sentences.

It's just a matter of saying that he lived an inhuman life in the imperial city.

It was not until Mingyue exposed the truth that Yun Zheng realized that Zhang Xu's life was not hard at all, it was just that he was in the imperial city and had to be careful everywhere.

Fortunately, after Zhang Xu returned to the imperial city, he devoted himself to making money for Yun Li and never did any tricks. Over such a long time, he has completely gained Yun Li's trust.

It was for this reason that Zhang Xu was able to slip away by taking the opportunity of going to Suizhou for purchasing.

"Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

Yun Zheng asked Zhang Xu.

"Fortunately."

Zhang Xu chuckled, "Yun Li sent me 300 guards. We had no chance of escaping at first. It was only when Madam Miaoyin brought people to help us that we were able to escape..."

Yun Zheng smiled and asked Miao Yin: "Is it clean?"

"Don't worry! Everything is done according to your instructions."

Miaoyin smiled and said, "In a short period of time, Yun Li will definitely think that Zhang Xu was captured by you..."

The reason they did this was that they didn't want to implicate the Zhang family.

After all, Yun Li is in power now. If Yun Li knew that he was fooled by Zhang Xu and Yun Zheng, he would be so angry that he would probably vent his anger on the Zhang family.

However, Zhang Xu will definitely be active in Shuobei.

Once Yun Li hears the news that Zhang Xu has regained Yun Zheng's favor, he should be able to react.

"This needs some attention!"

Yun Zheng thought for a moment, and then instructed Zhang Xu and Ming Yue: "Try to show up as little as possible and wait until father returns to the imperial city!"

Since Emperor Wen is not in the imperial city, they must be worried about the safety of the Zhang family.

But as long as Emperor Wen returned to the imperial city, they would not have to worry.

Even if Zhang Xu ran away, Zhang Huai was still Emperor Wen's mentor.

Emperor Wen wanted to protect the Zhang family, and he should be able to do so.

"it is good!"

Zhang Xu and his wife agreed.

"By the way, do your parents know about this?"

Yun Zheng said, and then asked Zhang Xu: "You didn't observe mourning for your grandfather, will they blame you?"

Although Daqian’s rules for mourning are not as strict as the ancient rules that Yun Zheng knows, it also attaches great importance to mourning.

When a close relative passes away, one usually observes mourning for three years.

Although the period was not so harsh as to prohibit drinking and being away from women, one was generally not allowed to leave home for a long time. Even if one wanted to take the imperial examination, it had to be postponed.

Behavior like Zhang Xu's is generally regarded as unfilial.

"I didn't dare tell them this, mainly because I was afraid they couldn't keep the secret! Not telling them is actually protecting them." Zhang Xu scratched his head embarrassedly, "As for the matter of mourning, it's enough as long as I have a clear conscience..."

When he first learned that Zhang Huai was seriously ill, he returned to the imperial city at great risk.

He also fulfilled his filial duty during the old man's last days.

A few days before the old man's death, he honestly told the old man that he was going to help Yun Zheng trick Yun Li.

Although the old man was pedantic, he could see that Yun Li did not have the potential to be a wise ruler, so he still supported him in this matter.

If the old man were still alive, I believe he would not blame him.

"I hope you think so!"

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "When we return to the Imperial City someday, I will personally take you to the old man's mausoleum to kowtow and apologize!"
