Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 768 Please go to Huagai Palace

Zhu Zhen's words brought Zhu Biao back to his senses temporarily.

He threw the dice in his hand, and it spun around on the grid before stopping at "six".

He picked up his chess piece and moved forward six squares, eventually landing on a square with a sword painted on it.

Zhu Biao laughed out loud:

"Sixth brother, it seems that you have to wait for the title of general. If we win the battle of Hexian, the title of general will be yours."

Zhu Zhen's face suddenly fell a little, then he took the dice and shook a three, and after moving a few squares he got a "raise". Although he lost the title of general, at least he still added some troops, which was not bad.

Then it was Zhu Gang's turn. He picked up the dice and looked towards the door:

"Daddy and Mommy, this..."

"Don't worry, Third Brother."

Zhu Su still couldn't put the book down even at this time. His character died in a civil strife at the beginning of the game and was eliminated directly. However, he was happy to do so and simply sat aside and read.

At this moment, he turned the page of the book and said with a smile:
"Dad, don't dare to make Mom angry at all. In my opinion, it's probably because we can't admit our mistakes here, so she left in anger."

"Maybe he is in some palace room right now and confessing his mistake to mother and promising not to do it again."

"Is it really like that?" Zhu Gang didn't quite believe it: "Daddy wasn't this afraid of Mom before... Could it be because of that thing you guys didn't tell me about?"

Zhu Su smiled and nodded, which made Zhu Tan even more curious.

But at this moment, Zhu Chong was a little impatient and urged:

"Old Three, hurry up and go. Do you want to play?"

The dice was thrown down again, and after spinning for a while, it landed on number two. Zhu Gang took two steps forward to observe the situation, then turned around and smiled:

"Fourth Brother, your military strength is not even half of mine. If you don't want to stand by and watch like Fifth Brother, maybe you can live a little longer if you turn back now."

The dice was passed to Zhu Di, who was the most active of the brothers and said with a grin:
"Whether we can win or not, don't we have to compete to find out?"

He grabbed the dice and threw it on the grid. After a while, it finally landed on "six". Zhu Di was overjoyed:

"Go to the sixth place, and you will get the Taiping rice Wuhu rice, which is the double word of Yanghe. Third brother, now it's your turn to run."

Zhu Gang was startled for a moment, but then he smiled and said:

"I'll go ahead later. If I have to retreat, I'm not afraid of you."

Zhu Di laughed: "That is not up to you, Third Brother. Look at me marching quickly!"

The grid game comes from the leaf game, and it also requires grabbing leaves. These leaves have different functions. For example, Zhu Di's forced march leaves can be added and rolled.

The dice landed on a six again, and Zhu Di could no longer conceal his smile:
"Going into six, the water division returns, it's a double word of victory, third brother, you're out."

"It's not over yet. I still have one more leaf to march. Bring me the dice... It's still six, six to cross the river, or a double number to win. Second brother, you're out too."

"Brother, I have one more leaf to go..." But before he could finish his words, Zhu Gang simply slapped the leaf in his hand onto the grid:
"There are only three quick march leaves in total, how could the fourth brother catch them all? It must be a trick!"

Zhu Gang stepped forward, and Zhu Chong also took the opportunity to mess up the grid to echo him. Zhu Zhen was still there speaking for Zhu Di aggrievedly, but Zhu Di was already standing there with his hands on his hips, looking around proudly:

"What do you mean by fraud? Are the two elder brothers jealous of their younger brother becoming a general? Big brother, please give us your opinion!"

Zhu Biao watched all this with a smile, shook his head, looked at the four "Divine Soldiers from Heaven" in his hand, covered them on the grid and wiped them, saying:

"You are also a scoundrel, Third Brother. Four years ago, when we brothers were playing the promotion map, you rolled sixes in a row because you were lucky. How come you are cheating now?"

Zhu Gang was speechless. Seeing this, Zhu Chong quickly shook his head and said:
"Then the fourth one wins. Since it's over, let's change to another one. How about the gold-seeking map next?"

Zhu Di didn't care and waved his hand:
"Come if you want, I'm afraid you're not a great general!"

Zhu Biao shook his head and smiled, then stood up to help clean up the mess, but he also felt a little sad in his heart:
I am afraid that there will not be many more times in the future when I can spend such carefree time with my brothers.

When he thought of this, he came up with another idea:
"Now that we have played the chess game, how about you and I go to the top of the city?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Chong laughed:
"Brother, do you still believe this? We brothers have been trained by our father since we were young, so who doesn't have a good physique? Even the weak scholar Lao Wu can shoot a bow and ride a horse, so he is also strong and healthy!"

Zhu Su was somewhat helpless, but he also knew that his second brother had always been like this, often offending people unknowingly. However, as brothers, he didn't care about this. When his second brother returned to his fiefdom... he still asked him to be careful of the villains around him.

Zhu Su was naturally aware of the custom of walking on the city wall. It was unknown when this custom came about, but during the Chinese New Year, relatives would gather in groups, and as long as they could walk around the city wall once, it was said that they could avoid all diseases. And if they could climb to the top of the city wall and look into the distance, they would have good fortune in the coming year.

It's not surprising that the eldest brother would have such an idea. In comparison, what the second brother said...

Zhu Su shook his head and chose to stand up to support his elder brother. Zhu Di on the side also jumped and indicated that they should climb the city wall, as the general was going to inspect Yingtian Prefecture.

In fact, Zhu Chong's words were just talk. When the brothers were getting along, Zhu Biao, the eldest brother, had authority almost like that of a father. Although they opposed verbally, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang still obediently followed the brothers, changed their clothes, and went out to walk along the city wall.

However, due to the rule that Tianhuang could not leave the palace easily, the brothers could only climb up the palace wall and look at the scenery of Yingtian Prefecture as they walked.

Zhu Chong suggested going to his father to ask for an imperial decree to let them and their brothers go out and have fun with the people.

Zhu Gang also proposed that his elder brother should leave the city directly as the crown prince, and come back to report to his father after playing - who doesn't know that the emperor loves the crown prince? There will be no punishment.

These two suggestions made Zhu Su frown. He felt that his two brothers were a little strange. Fortunately, his eldest brother directly rejected the suggestion as expected.

"Leaving the palace is a small matter, but troubling the people is a big matter."

Zhu Biao said calmly:
"It's not easy for the city's hundreds of guards to keep the festival peaceful, so people like us who are carefree should not cause trouble for others."

The brothers noticed that the atmosphere had changed slightly, but finally, under the leadership of Zhu Biao, they managed to walk around the palace walls. As for the imagined prosperity of Yingtian Prefecture, it was completely covered by the smoke from the fireworks and firecrackers set off by the people, and only a dense mist could be seen.

Fortunately, after playing in the palace for a few days, during the Lantern Festival, the brothers finally dressed in formal attire and climbed to the top of the palace city with their father. They lit a ten-mile long river of lights and set off a hundred-hectare sky of fireworks, and finally got to enjoy the show.

For Zhu Gang and Zhu Chong, the final finishing touch of this entertainment was that their father called them together and asked the painter to draw a long family portrait, but it seemed that the matter was not over yet, and their father had no intention of driving them away from Beijing.

This went on until mid-February.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned you. Please come to the Huagai Palace."
