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

Xu Miaoyun looked worried.

"Your Majesty, I don't consider anything else. I just feel that everything here is the result of your hard work. If you let it go so easily, or if someone else tampers with it, it would be a shame and all your hard work would be wasted."

"Even if I lend them some courage, they will never attack me, not to mention that we have hostages in our hands."

"Wang Baobao and Guanyinnu?"

"Of course, my father asked me to take him back with me, but he didn't say to take his brother with me. Someone has to stay here to look after him.

Moreover, even if we bring him back to the capital, it is impossible for him to bring a large number of troops with him.

After all, he is just a hostage in our hands. With his brother and sister controlling him, how could he dare to do anything excessive?
Although this guy doesn't listen to his brother very much, he still attaches great importance to family ties. Even for the sake of his relatives, he dare not act rashly.

I can guarantee that everything will be peaceful here at least until we come back, and Toyn Timur will do his best to look after the business we have jointly established.

Don't worry, I already clearly understood this person's thoughts and ideas, otherwise I would not have made such a judgment."

After listening to Zhu Kai's analysis, Xu Miaoyun was filled with infinite admiration for the person in front of him.

"The ink has been ground. Come over and write."

Zhu Kai walked to the side, picked up a pen and started writing, but at this moment he suddenly thought of one thing, that is, his handwriting was indeed not very good looking.

After returning, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely use this incident to criticize himself.

There was no way that he, as a person who had traveled through time, could write calligraphy. Thinking of this, Zhu Kai felt that he should invent a pen that could write.

Otherwise, you have to grind some ink every time before writing, which is a waste of time.

As a person who traveled through time, Zhu Kai seemed to have a golden finger. He had a God's perspective and many abilities. Combined with what he had seen and heard, it was not a problem for him to change the world.

Zhu Kai wrote a few short words while thinking, rolled it up, took it out and handed it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Chong asked curiously.

"Second brother, what did you write? Are you sure he will obey you and follow Old Five after reading it?"

"You are really curious about everything. The contents of this letter are confidential and no one can peek at it."

Zhu Di quickly defended himself.

"Don't worry, second brother. I know this is confidential, otherwise you would have asked me to pass the message directly. Don't worry, I won't peek. I'm not that kind of person."

"Zhu Di, I naturally believe you. Go now. Don't bring too many people, and don't alarm others. This matter must be kept as secret as possible."

"Since Second Brother has already made all the arrangements, then let's do as you say. I'll leave now and I'll be back in about an hour."

"Yes, Zhu Di, at least in my heart you are in charge, so I am still relieved to go.

We will be waiting here for you to come back and we can leave right away. Is there anything else you want to prepare in advance? I will ask your second sister-in-law to help you pack. "

Zhu Di was a little surprised.

I just read the letter Zhu Yuanzhang wrote. He was indeed anxious and wanted them to go back, but he didn't have to be so anxious. Shouldn't he even give them time to catch their breath? He wanted them to set off immediately after returning, without even giving themselves time to pack their clothes.

However, his reaction was still relatively quick. Since Zhu Kai had such an arrangement, he could only implement it according to Zhu Kai's ideas, and he had no right to refute.

“Thank you, second brother, I’m alone here all day and I’m busy with the military camp, there’s nothing to clean up inside.

Since my father is so anxious and wants us to go back, why should I drag it out?

I dare not bother my second sister-in-law to help me pack. I will go and take Wang Baobao now. We will set off immediately after I come back. However, the journey is long, so we still need to carry more horses in advance. "

"Zhu Di, you can go without any worries. I have asked Lan Yu to prepare horses, some dry food and water."

"Second brother is still thoughtful."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left, taking Zhu Kai's letter to find Wang Baobao.

Zhu Gang sighed and said.

"Brother, you didn't even give us time to pack our things. Are we really that anxious?"

"It's better to leave early. He can go find Wang Baobao now, and it will take almost an hour to bring him back.

We are so busy getting ready that I am afraid it will be night by the time we set off.

I just took a quick look at the map of the surrounding area. We have to reach the next post station before nightfall. There can't be any delay. Anyway, the distance is not too far.

When we reach the post station, we will replenish food and water and let the horses rest."

Zhu Chong looked at Zhu Kai and was really anxious, so he didn't dare to say anything.

"Second brother, seeing that everyone is so busy, let's go out and help General Lan Yu prepare. After all, we are also a large group returning, and we have to prepare all the basic things even if we are in a hurry."

"Yeah, that makes sense. You two go ahead and just be at the door ready to go in half an hour."

Zhu Kai made all the arrangements, and after that the two of them were ready to carry out his ideas. Zhu Kai went back and saw Xu Miaoyun walking back and forth anxiously behind him.

"What happened? Are you going back to Yingtian Prefecture soon? You will see your father soon, and I feel a little uneasy now."

"I do have such an idea, but at the same time, I am also very worried. We were in such a hurry on the way back that we were not fully prepared. What if there are people with ulterior motives who want to attack us on the road? Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

"We have a garrison nearby, as well as General Lan Yu. I believe nothing serious will happen. The Emperor will arrange everything properly. We just need to wait patiently."

"Your Highness, when you were in the court, you often had conflicts with some people. I'm afraid they will take this opportunity to attack you on the road. This road is full of mountains and forests. If they really want to attack you, I'm afraid there is no way to verify it."

"Are you talking about Hu Weiyong? Don't worry, he wouldn't dare to do that. Even if I lend him some courage, he wouldn't dare to do that. I have some understanding of this person."

Zhu Di also understood Zhu Kai's anxiety, so he rode a group of fast horses and ran quickly over there.

He was a man who could not sit still. Even when he was riding a horse, he was thinking about Zhu Kai's arrangements for this matter.

In fact, he was very curious about what Zhu Kai had written in his heart, but after thinking for a long time, Zhu Di still did not intend to check it.

Because he knew that Zhu Kai was a very smart person, even if he trusted his brothers very much, he was prepared in advance and would not give them any breathing space. As long as he guessed this, he would not write anything important in his heart.

Maybe there is some secret code between Zhu Kai and Wang Baobao, and he will follow me just because he sees the secret they agreed upon.

Zhu Di was a military general after all, so at least his speed was quite fast. In the blink of an eye he arrived here with Wang Baobao.

"What are you doing here? Zhu Kai just left and you're here again. You guys really don't give me a chance to breathe."

It's really a shame to be so unlucky. The more you fear running into someone, the more likely you are to run into that person.

Toqtin Timur did not go to rest in the middle of the day, but was brushing his horse nearby.

"I have something important to discuss with Wang Baobao."

"My elder brother has gone to bed. If you want to find him, just wait here for a while. Doesn't your Ming Dynasty claim to be a country of etiquette?

Are you not willing to wait for even a moment?

When my elder brother wakes up, he will naturally meet you. It’s not Zhu Kai who is coming in person, so there is no need for us to make it so grand.

I believe that as a prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, you are broad-minded and will not argue with us, so you just wait here patiently."

Zhu Di knew that this guy was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he was not angry. Instead, he remained calm.

Perhaps this is what is called responding to ever-changing situations with the same attitude.

Toghril Timur just stood there looking at Zhu Di, motionless and without saying a word, but he was the first one to get anxious.

"You should have understood what I just said."

Zhu Di smiled but still did not answer.

"I've heard that you're really a weird guy. No wonder even Zhu Kai said that you're a taciturn person who doesn't like to communicate with others. It seems that you really have this kind of personality. So just wait here.

Let me tell you, people in our Mongolian tribe all sleep for a long time, and my eldest brother has a bad temper. He doesn't like to be disturbed when he is resting.

So he may not wake up at any time. If you don't mind the heat outside, you can just stay here and bask in the sun. I'm going to go in later, and no one dares to inform you."

"I say you are really weird, I haven't said anything since I came here, I have always followed your arrangements.

You are chattering non-stop now. If you really don't want to disturb your brother's rest, we can just wait here quietly. I'm not in a hurry anyway."

"If you're not in a hurry, why are you still sweating while riding? I think you're just pretending to be calm in front of me. Then we'll just wait here and see who can outlast the other."

"I don't mind. If you are not afraid of affecting the relationship between my second brother and you, I will accompany you as long as you want to wait. After all, I am a guest here, and I should follow the host's wishes."

Toghon Temur saw that Zhu Di was so calm, and he seemed to be afraid that this matter would affect their vital interests.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking with you just now. You don't have to be so angry. Since you came here in the middle of the day, there must be something important. Come in with me, and I'll take you to see my brother."

"Didn't you say he was resting? As a guest, it's not appropriate for me to disturb him."

"I've already said I'm willing to take you in, are you still so ungrateful?"

Zhu Di was very angry in his heart, but he had always been a person with very stable emotions. Even if he was angry, he would never let others see it.

Seeing that the other party had already given him a way out, he couldn't stay deadlocked here. After all, he had to hurry back to report to Zhu Kai.

"Okay, I'll do it for you."

Afterwards, Toghon Temur brought Zhu Di to their room and met Wang Baobao. He was indeed lying there, but he was not asleep.

Seeing Zhu Di, who suddenly came here with a serious face, he became a little nervous.

I was thinking that I had just proposed the marriage to Zhu Kai and Zhu Di came over. Could it be related to this matter?

"You usually don't like to come to our place, why did you suddenly come to visit us today?"

"Wang Baobao, let me get straight to the point. My second brother asked me to come to you. I have something very important to tell you."

"As expected, it was His Highness Zhu Kai who asked you to come here. Please sit down and talk slowly about what's going on."

"I won't sit down. Thank you for your kindness. This matter is quite urgent."

"Oh, what's the big deal? It makes me a little flustered."

"You know I'm not good at speaking, and I don't have many opportunities to interact with you. My second brother was afraid that I couldn't explain it clearly, so he brought you a letter. You can read it and you won't need me to explain too much."

Wang Baobao smiled and said.

"I didn't expect His Highness Zhu Kai to be so thoughtful. In that case, I'd like to trouble you to bring the letter to me."

After hearing this, Zhu Di took out the letter from his arms without saying a word. Seeing this situation, the other party had nothing to say.

Wang Baobao took the letter and looked at it. As soon as he opened it, he couldn't wait to see the contents. Then his face turned pale.

Said to Toghril Temur who was standing next to him.

"Go and bring Guanyin Nu here first."

The other person looked confused.

"what?"

"I told you to bring Guanyin Nu here, right now, and then help me prepare some formal clothes."

"No, brother, what are you doing? What is written in your heart? Why are you making people panic? Let me see what is written."

Just as Toghon Temur was about to step forward and snatch the letter, Wang Baobao immediately took the letter back and threw it into the fire next to him, burning it to ashes.

"You don't need to know what's written in your heart, just follow my instructions. I'm your brother and the leader of the Mongol tribe. Can't I command you?"

"Alright, alright, I get it. You must have taken the wrong medicine, you're so fierce. I don't know what Zhu Kai said to you. I'll go get Guanyin Nu here right now. What does this have to do with him?" (End of this chapter)
