Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

Chapter 175: This is a serious matter, and I need my father's approval

The key point that Zhu Kai felt was that the most terrifying thing was that the other party actually wanted to use his sister to monitor his every move at all times, and even spy on the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Sacrificing a girl's lifelong happiness seems to be a common practice even in their tribe.

"Wang Baobao, is Guanyinnu your biological sister?"

Zhu Kai was confused by the sudden question.

"Of course she's my biological sister. Could it be that we don't look alike? That's true. She's much prettier than me."

Toin Timur rolled his eyes and said.

"We are biological siblings. This cannot be faked. I know that your Ming Dynasty has always attached great importance to bloodline. It is impossible to just find a girl from outside to offer to the prince."

Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Kai have a tacit understanding with each other. He knows that Zhu Kai has no thoughts about Guanyin Nu at all, and it is impossible for him to think so much.

"Wang Baobao, I think you must have misunderstood. I am a little curious. Since she is your biological sister, how could you bear to let her become a concubine for someone else?"

"The key is that the prince is not someone else. We are already so familiar with each other. What's more, I am doing business with you. I entrust my sister's life to you because I trust you."

Zhu Kai sneered when he heard the other party's weak explanation.

"Your sister and I have only met a few times, and you want to entrust his life to me. It's ridiculous.

What's more, we have been working together to build Liaodong and Liaobei, and everything is going on steadily. Why are you suddenly jumping out to cause trouble for me?"

"The key is my sister. She has admired you for a long time. This is definitely not a random arrangement by me."

"In our Ming Dynasty, concubines have a very low status. The customs of your Mongolian tribe are completely different from ours. Even if he follows me, he may not be able to get used to it.

Besides, there is a big age gap between us, and I have no plans to take a concubine now."

Wang Baobao heard that Zhu Kai's words were very straightforward, and he was about to arrange another scene.

"People say that gentle places are the graves of heroes. My father brought me here to develop my career. I must show results in Liaodong and Liaobei.

He didn't want to come here to enjoy himself. If my father knew that I had built a mansion and taken concubines here, it would not be good if it got out.

There are many people in the court who dislike me, and I cannot give them the opportunity to impeach me. I will just pretend you never said anything and leave it at that!"

Wang Baobao saw that his plan was about to fail, and he certainly would not give up so easily. At this moment, Xu Miaoyun suddenly thought of a very good idea.

"Your Majesty, Wang Baobao's trust in you can be regarded as entrusting his own sister to you."

Zhu Kai was suddenly a little confused when he heard Xu Miaoyun say this, and wondered if he wanted to agree on his behalf to fulfill his reputation as a virtuous man.

Zhu Kai had no choice but to speak carefully in Xu Miaoyun's ear.

"What are you doing?"

"Your Highness, I just think that since the other party is kind enough to help us make a marriage happen, we can't refuse him. But Your Highness doesn't want to take a concubine at this time. I have a very good idea that can save face for both of us."

When Zhu Kai heard Xu Miaoyun say this, he was not as nervous as before, because he believed that Xu Miaoyun was very smart and would never do anything rashly. He had considered everything very carefully before doing anything.

So, Zhu Kai relaxed instead. He picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, ready to watch his wife's performance quietly.

Togyin Timur seemed to have a bad premonition.

"Princess, do you have any good ideas that can save both of our faces?

My sister has been rejected by you once, and if she is rejected a second time... Although our Mongolian tribe has declined, she is still a princess after all."

"Don't worry, I will never wrong anyone.

Wang Baobao, I see that Princess Guanyinnu is about the same age as my third brother, so why not help make another good story come true?"

"Are you talking about His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin?"

"Yes, it is Qin Wang Zhu Chong."

Wang Baobao frowned when he heard the name.

He had never thought of bringing these two people together, not to mention that at this moment the King of Qin was just a little brother following Zhu Kai.

He has no real power at all, he is just Zhu Kai's puppet. How can marrying such a person help him? It's really unexpected.

Zhu Kai felt relieved immediately after hearing Xu Miaoyun's words. It turned out that the princess he had chosen personally was a kind-hearted and virtuous woman who could solve both problems at once.

This can be considered a good choice. Moreover, if he were to arrange a marriage between King Qin Zhu Chong and Guanyin Nu, marrying a foreign woman would ruin his career.

Zhu Kai was thinking about how he wanted to trick his brother, but he didn't expect his wife to take the initiative to help him.

When Toghon Timur heard this, he immediately refused.

"I don't think it's appropriate. They are about the same age, but have never met each other. Their personalities may not be compatible. Let's forget about it and just listen to the prince."

Guanyin Nu was standing nearby at this time, he said nothing, because he knew that no matter what he said he could not change his fate. At this moment, Zhu Kai felt more sympathy for Guanyin Nu.

After all, as a person who has traveled through time, he knows this feeling of powerlessness.

Her life and property, even her lifetime happiness, are all in the hands of others. As a woman living in a patriarchal era, who can understand her helplessness and sadness?

Even women of his generation could not understand. Perhaps Zhu Kai had determined from that moment on that what he was going to do was more meaningful.

Because what he wanted to do was to expel foreign enemies and establish an equal Ming Dynasty.

Although this idea is very difficult, he still wants to try his best to realize it. Even if he cannot achieve gender equality, he hopes that women can be free and unrestrained like in the Tang Dynasty and not be manipulated by others.

Wang Baobao initially disagreed with Xu Miaoyun's idea.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that this was a good choice and could be considered a second best option.

As long as someone in his family is related to the Daimyo Dynasty, he won't have to worry too much for the rest of his life, and it's also for his sister's sake. Zhu Kai pretended to be deep and didn't say anything, because he knew it was best for him not to express his opinion at this time and not let the other party see through his thoughts.

Wang Baobao was indeed blinded by Zhu Kai's attitude, and he didn't know what choice he should make.

Looking back at his sister Guanyinnu, he seemed to have been paralyzed for a long time.

"Princess, your idea is really quite good. I have met His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin several times. Although he is not as suave and handsome as the prince, he is at least a man of ambition.

Moreover, following the prince's side, he has gained a lot of knowledge and has a good memory, which is good. At least compared with other people, he is still quite capable.

only……"

Xu Miaoyun knew what the other party wanted to say.

"Your Highness the Prince of Qin is relatively young and has not yet married."

"That's what I'm worried about. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin hasn't married a princess yet. If he takes my sister in first, I'm afraid that the noble ladies who often meet him in the future may not be able to look up to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin.

If things continue like this, it will affect the marriage of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin."

Zhu Kai could tell that this guy was using a strategy of attacking as much as possible and defending as much as possible.

On the surface, it seemed that he agreed, but there was also some rejection in his tone, as if he was just negotiating terms with him. Zhu Kai had now built a city in the Liao region that was more prosperous than the capital.

However, most of the urban construction was still in the process of being improved. Zhu Kai also used some modern theories he had learned to create many handicrafts that were not possible at the time.

These were unique things at the time, and whoever could master them could create a monopoly in the industry.

This guy Wang Baobao seemed to want to use his sister's marriage to negotiate terms with him.

How could Zhu Kai fall into his trap? So he smiled and said.

"Wang Baobao, I know what you are worried about.

You just said that Guanyinnu is your biological sister. Since she is your biological sister, you don't want her to just become a concubine when she marries into the Ming Dynasty.

You wanted to bring us together before, but unfortunately I already have a wife, so even if he wants to follow me, he can only be a concubine.

But His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is different. He has not yet married and does not have a queen.

If you think that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and your sister Princess Guanyinnu are a good match, it would not be a bad idea to grant him the position of a royal consort."

While listening to Zhu Kai talking, Xu Miaoyun observed Guanyin Nu's expression. Upon hearing that she could get the position of the principal princess, Guanyin Nu seemed to be relieved.

From this small action, it can be seen that he is definitely not the kind of woman who would rather be inferior to others.

Toghon Temur originally thought that Zhu Kai was arrogant when he came here to discuss this matter with them. After all, he was like this in his daily life. When he heard the conditions that Zhu Kai promised them, he was also very surprised.

"Your Majesty, I know that you are the most valued son of the current emperor, but this involves the marriage of the royal family after all. Do you think your words count?"

"Toyin Timur, who do you think I am? Even if I can't make the decision on this matter, I can still go back to the capital and say a few good words to the emperor."

Wang Baobao didn't expect that when discussing this condition with Zhu Kai, he could get Zhu Kai's promise so smoothly. He seemed to be even more confident, so he said with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, I believe in your ability. As long as you are willing to help, this matter can be easily accomplished. However, this is a major marriage after all. We all think it is suitable, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin will not recognize it."

"Qin Wang Zhu Chong is usually a very obedient child. He has been with me for such a long time that he always takes my words as his elder brother's.

No matter what I say, he is willing to listen and believe it.

If I persuade him, he will definitely agree. Now it depends on whether this big thing is beneficial to both of us. After all, I always pursue win-win situations in everything I do. "

Although Toghon Temur had already surrendered to Zhu Kai and the Ming Dynasty.

However, he still felt a little unwilling to accept the result in his heart. He had been accumulating strength for such a long time, hoping to fight again one day.

“Princess Guanyinnu is also here, but we haven’t asked for his opinion.

You just said you wanted to present him to the prince, and now you want to bring him together with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. You never asked for his opinion."

Although Xu Miaoyun was Zhu Kai's princess, all matters had to be considered from Zhu Kai's interests. However, this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Kai anymore. From a woman's perspective, she still felt sympathy for Guanyin Nu.

Guanyinnu heard what Xu Miaoyun said, walked forward and smiled.

"In your Central Plains region, marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers. It's the same here. The eldest brother is like a father. My parents have passed away a long time ago, so naturally I have to listen to my brother when it comes to marriage.

As long as my two brothers feel good about it, I don't have any opinions. Just listen to you. Don't consider my feelings. Besides, being able to be with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is a blessing I have cultivated for several lifetimes. How could there be any doubts?"

Guanyinnu can really be considered a pitiful woman.

Everything had to be arranged by others. At a young age, she became a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty and followed two troublesome brothers. Now, even the rest of her life will be sacrificed.

Although the two of them have not officially gotten married, Zhu Kai can feel that King Qin Zhu Chong and Guanyin Nu are not a good match.

"Look, I don't have anything I want to refuse. The key is whether His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin will agree. Why didn't His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin come with us today?"

“I asked the two of them to stay in the mansion in case there is any emergency at the court.

Let me put it this way. Princess Guanyinnu has just said that an elder brother is like a father.

Our father is the current emperor and our mother is still alive. He will also worry about this matter. Although we have the same idea, I dare not agree to you today.

I can only promise you that after you return to the capital, I will try my best to negotiate this matter in front of the Emperor and the Empress, but I cannot guarantee whether it will succeed."

"It's okay, Your Majesty, I believe you will do whatever you promise. I know you have the ability to do so."

The reason why Wang Baobao said this is that he completely trusts Zhu Kai. More importantly, he knows that Zhu Kai will never make any promises easily. (End of this chapter)
