Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 9 The Agreement with Prince Zhu Biao
Prince Zhu Biao is the elder brother of Zhu Qi and Zhu Di, so it is impossible for the two of them to sit here, not to mention that Zhu Qi plans to ask Zhu Biao for some money to go to sea.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a man in a bright yellow python robe hurrying over. It was the prince Zhu Biao in Zhu Qi's memory.

Zhu Biao was 19 years old, but he looked like he was in his twenties, and he didn't look pampered at all. At this time, he frowned and looked sad. Seeing Zhu Qi and Zhu Di standing at the door, he greeted him. There was a smile on his face.

Both Zhu Qi and Zhu Di shouted, "Brother."

Zhu Biao also came over, pulled the two of them towards the inner room, looked at Zhu Qi at the same time and asked:

"Third brother, seeing that you have recovered a lot now, I feel relieved. I visited you a few days ago, but you have already rested, so I didn't bother you. I have been busy since then, coordinating the supplies and supplies every day. , Pensions and rewards, I really can’t get away. You don’t know, the whole Daning and Fengzhou area has been messed up by Li Wenzhong, and it’s a mess!"

When he said this, Zhu Biao had already put on a smile on his face. It was obvious that Li Wenzhong had won the battle in the Daning area.

Zhu Di has always been interested in fighting, and now he asked excitedly:

"Really? Brother, tell us quickly, how is General Li's record?"

Zhu Biao walked into the house and sat down. Zhu Di obediently offered Zhu Biao a cup of tea, and then offered Zhu Qiye a cup of tea.Zhu Qi also wanted to know how the front line was going. After all, he was the king of Liao, and he was going to join the feudal clan in the future. The greater the achievements and advantages of these generals in the early Ming Dynasty, the easier it would be for him to go to the feudal clan in the future.

It's better to be submissive in all directions. Wouldn't it be beautiful to be a leisurely prince by yourself.Although I knew in my heart that it was probably impossible, I still had good wishes.

Zhu Biao took a sip of tea, and then started talking.

This Li Wenzhong is still Zhu Qi’s cousin, because Li Wenzhong is Zhu Yuanzhang’s nephew. One Cao Guogong.

Li Wenzhong, as the second echelon in the Battle of Lingbei, was originally in charge of the rear, and it can be said that he was very aggrieved. He didn't fight a few battles on the frontal battlefield. , retreated to Shanxi to stabilize his heel.

Ever since the battle of Lingbei failed and Daming lost troops, Bei Yuan began to feel ready to fight, thinking that he could fight again.

Normal generals have suffered a defeat, of course it is to rectify the defense and prepare to resist pressure.If Li Wenzhong did the same, then he would not be a famous general in the world.

Li Wenzhong did not hold back, but after the army returned to the division, he led his army to attack Beiping directly, and then used Beiping as a stronghold to divide his troops into three groups and go out directly!
The Yuan army, who was happily preparing to enter the customs and return to the Central Plains, hadn't reached the foot of the Great Wall yet. When he turned his head, he found that the Ming army who had just been defeated in the Battle of Lingbei had returned!

With Li Wenzhong's move back to the carbine, Bei Yuan was caught off guard, and the army went out three times, captured Pingzhang Chen Anli in Sanbura River, and then won successive victories in Shunning and Yangmen. Bai Deng captured Beiyuan Taiwei Tuotuobuhua.

Li Wenzhong then led his troops to attack Daning and Gaozhou, and he was invincible. He also beheaded Duoduo, the king of Northern Yuanzong, and captured hundreds of slaves who had inherited the order.

Do you think Li Wenzhong is going to return to the teacher victorious after this fight?not at all.

Li Wenzhong led his army straight to the felt hat mountain, which is now the Alxa area, and beheaded the king of Yuan Lu in the north, captured his concubine and Situ Dahai and other officials, and then turned around Fengzhou again, killing a circle , Turned around and went north again, chopping melons and vegetables all the way, until Baigan'er, now near Bayan and Zhuo, because there were too many captured, it was really impossible to take them, so they withdrew their troops and returned to the division.

Good guy!Even though Zhu Qi had no enthusiasm for fighting, he still knew the knowledge of geography. After a year, Li Wenzhong had traveled nearly a thousand miles without a single defeat. Hearing all kinds of battles and captures was really exciting.

Zhu Qi could imagine in Zhu Qi's mind that General Li Wenzhong rode a horse and led the army to attack quickly, and at the same time shouted to the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who were kneeling on both sides and surrendered: "I don't have time to capture you, you tie yourselves Kneel down and wait for the people behind to capture you."

Don't say anything, just make a quick stroke.

This is the demeanor of my Ming Dynasty man, far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, are you kidding me?
Zhu Qi's blood boiled with enthusiasm, so did Zhu Di need to say it? At that time, he couldn't help but want to copy a knife and go to the north to join the army, and he wanted to have a good fight with Bei Yuan.

With such good news from the front line, it is naturally a happy thing for everyone. Zhu Biao's face is full of smiles, Zhu Qi is also in a good mood, and Zhu Di is even more happy.

While everyone was in a good mood, Zhu Biao asked:

"By the way, I heard that you two paid a thousand taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in ten days?"

The smile on Zhu Qi's face froze, and Zhu Di's lips began to tremble.

"Fourth brother, tell your elder brother what you have spent all your money on."

Zhu Di faltered and said:

"Tick……"

Seeing that the dog-like Zhu Di was going to do all the tricks again, Zhu Qi hurriedly raised his voice and said:
"It's all spent on research!"

Obviously, Zhu Biao had never heard of the new word "investigation", so he looked at Zhu Qi suspiciously.Zhu Qiben planned to tell Zhu Biao the idea of ​​setting up a comprehensive entertainment center similar to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but with more energy and more game play options than Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and by the way, get a wave of investment from Zhu Biao.

Seizing the opportunity at this time, it is natural to vigorously promote his ideas, but after Zhu Qi talked for a long time, he found that Zhu Biao was full of suspicion, and he didn't seem to be tempted.

But think about it, Zhu Qi has seen all kinds of billiard rooms, Internet cafes, game halls, animation halls and other entertainment places, but Prince Zhu Biao has not!
At this time in the early Ming Dynasty, apart from the Fengyue place, there was no place to entertain and relax at all.

It was obviously difficult for Zhu Biao to explain his entrepreneurial philosophy just by talking. In the end, Zhu Qi took out the second chapter of "Ming Shanhe" that Zhu Yuanzhang had returned before, and sent it to Zhu Biao, explaining: :

"What I mean is very simple. There are comic books, novels, and of course other entertainment items in the store. Then when others come in to relax and entertain, they have to pay an admission fee, and there is an additional charge for specific items. That's how they make money. I am a technician. For the shareholding, the fourth brother is investing in the shares, and the eldest brother is investing in the funds."

Zhu Biao roughly flipped it over, a little dumbfounded, and said:
"It turns out that this drawing book is a comic book. I was wondering who would have the guts to draw my father. So it's you, third brother."

"Uh, brother, have you seen it?"

"Well, I've seen it on Father's table a few times, but I didn't dare to turn it myself, and I didn't ask Father. If I knew it was drawn by you, I would have read it."

Zhu Biao said with a sigh of relief:
"It's just that I haven't seen you for a while. Third brother, your painting skills have improved a lot. Father also told me about the poem and map you made earlier. Third brother, you have such abilities at such a young age. Big brother is very happy for you."

If it is said that in the families of other emperors, brothers were jealous and competed with each other for the throne, then when Zhu Biao was still there in the early Ming Dynasty, there would never be any.

This is where Zhu Biao's personality charm lies, because he really grew up with his younger brothers and sisters, and he was an older brother and a father. He never regarded his younger brothers as a threat to his throne, but really like an elder brother , bless and take care of the younger brothers.

After thinking about it, Zhu Qi also knew that Zhu Biao had learned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he and Zhu Di had withdrawn a thousand taels of silver in ten days, and he must have not told Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise it would not be Zhu Biao who came here, but took the Zhu Yuanzhang of the rattan whip.

Now that I came here to ask myself and Zhu Di where the money was spent, it was because I wanted to protect myself and Zhu Di.

Although Zhu Biao didn't say it out loud, Zhu Qi couldn't help feeling warm when he thought of this. Is this how he feels like an older brother?
Then a sense of guilt welled up in my heart, my eldest brother is so good, but I still go to the Goulan every day, how can I be so depraved, starting tomorrow, I will definitely not go to the Goulan, I must study hard and work hard to be a qualified Prince of Ming!

Zhu Qi made up his mind.

After Zhu Biao finished listening to Zhu Qi's project proposal, he flipped through the comic book from the beginning to the end, and the more he read it, the more interesting he found it, so he asked another question:
"What about the first chapter?"

Zhu Qi replied honestly: "Where is the father?"

"Well, then I'll go down to Father Emperor's study to take a look, and I'll return the second chapter to you after I finish reading it."

Zhu Biao stuffed the comic book into his arms while talking, really didn't regard himself as an outsider.

Zhu Qi hurriedly asked the key thing again:

"Brother, about investing in my Daming Royal Entertainment Center..."

"Third and fourth brothers, how much do you want?"

Just after Zhu Biao finished asking, Zhu Di stretched out a finger. He originally wanted to say 100 taels. After all, 100 taels is enough to open a small shop in Yingtianfu.

But Zhu Qi opened his mouth and said: "1000 taels, if big brother can invest 1000 taels, then we will definitely be able to open it!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he frowned:
"That much money?"

Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't immediately refuse, Zhu Qi knew that the prince of Ming Dynasty must be able to get 1000 taels, but the amount of money made him a little hesitant, so he hurriedly continued to persuade:

"Brother, although there is a lot of money, we will definitely not spend it indiscriminately. You can rest assured that there will be an account at that time, and I will show it to you, and you can rest assured, as long as you give me three months, I will guarantee that I will get back the money!"

Zhu Qi said this on his lips, but he was thinking in his heart, with the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty as a shareholder, and the two princes himself and Zhu Di personally operating the knife, it would be a conservative estimate to pay back the capital in three months!
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"Okay, since the third brother said so, then I can pay the 1000 taels of silver as a brother, but..."

Zhu Di and Zhu Qi said in unison:

"Just what?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Qi with a smile and said:

"It's just that you are going to give a martial arts lecture at the Imperial Guard Barracks tomorrow, and the map sand table used for the martial arts lecture tomorrow, third brother, I want you to do it! As long as the map sand table you make can satisfy the generals, the money is worth it. Brother is out!"

Make a map sand table?Good guy, isn't it just a model? I'm a cartoonist born as an art student, and I don't know this stuff yet?
Zhu Qi immediately agreed:
"Okay! It's a deal!"
