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

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the door of the room, I saw a person standing there, waiting for Zhu Kai and Xu Miaoyun.

"Mao Xiang, why are you standing here like a door god and scaring me? Have you finished your meal and nothing happened?"

"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you to come back here and am ready to report the situation to you."

"What do you want to report?"

"It's the arrangement of the Royal Guards."

Zhu Kai immediately understood what this guy wanted to say.

It turned out that Mao Xiang was more worried about his arrangements and did not tell Zhu Kai in advance, and he still took this matter to heart. After all, Zhu Kai was Zhu Yuanzhang's son.

His identity and status are very special. Once he offends Zhu Kai, it means that his future will be very difficult. This guy wants a lot.

"Mao Xiang, I know what you want to say.

Don't worry, I don't take this matter to heart, and you are directly following the orders of the Emperor, so it is normal for you to hide something from me.

You don't have to take these things to heart, and neither will I.

The princess is already very tired, let him go in and rest quickly. If there is anything about the subsequent personnel arrangements, you can go directly to His Royal Highness Zhu Di to explain these matters. "

After Zhu Kai said this, he pushed the door open and returned to his room with Xu Miaoyun by his side.

Even if Mao Xiang didn't want to give up, there was nothing he could do. How dare he break into someone else's room without permission?

Although he was unwilling to give up, he had no choice but to leave here and go find Zhu Di.

Xu Miaoyun returned to the room and closed the door. He leaned through the crack of the door and watched the other party leave, only then did he feel relieved.

"What on earth does he want to do? Looking at this guy's mysterious look, it seems like he has something fishy going on."

Zhu Kai smiled helplessly and said.

"We can't help it. He did these things because of the emperor's orders. We can't make it too difficult for him. Everything is arranged by the emperor. If we want to blame someone, we can only blame our father for not trusting us."

"You mean, everything he does now is what his father told him to do, why?

Could it be that he doesn't trust you, his son? We have done so many important things for the court in Liaobei, and we have also subdued Wang Baobao.

Moreover, you have built a lot of urbanization projects there, so that the civilians there can have enough food to eat and no longer suffer from hunger, thus stabilizing the people's hearts.

What else do you want? Even the crown prince of the current dynasty may not be able to achieve what you have achieved."

Zhu Kai knew very well that the emperor's mind was the most difficult to guess. Even if it was his own father, he had to face it with caution. In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he could be an excellent son, but not too excellent, and certainly not better than the crown prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Kai knew very well that in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, even though he and Crown Prince Zhu Biao were twins from the same mother, there was still a distinction between them.

"Okay, you don't have to stand up for me, the emperor naturally has his considerations.

Mao Xiang seems to be in a difficult position, so he is waiting here for us to come back and explain everything to us. I know his thoughts and ideas very well, and I have seen through them a long time ago."

On the other side, Guanyin Nu went back to his room without eating. He sat on the bed thinking about the conversation between him and Xu Miaoyun today, trying to see if he could find some information that would be helpful to him.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"it's me!"

Guanyin Nu recognized that it was his brother Wang Baobao. He knew that when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, his brother would definitely come over and tell him something out of concern. He got out of bed, walked to the door and opened it.

After Wang Baobao came in, Guanyinnu opened the door again, looked around, and after making sure there was no suspicious person around, he closed the door with confidence.

"Sister, I noticed that you didn't eat anything at night. Are you feeling unwell? Are you feeling uncomfortable? We are not familiar with the environment outside the grassland we are familiar with. It is normal for you to feel uncomfortable with the local climate. I am concerned about you."

"Brother, don't worry. From the moment I left home, I have been mentally prepared. No matter what happens, I can face it bravely.

I know what you want to ask me. I talked a lot with Xu Miaoyun in the carriage.

I feel like he knows very little information, and he didn't get anything useful out of me. He also never said what the emperor was thinking, or which prince he wanted to marry me to."

Wang Baobao said worriedly after hearing this.

"Sure enough, my worst fear has come true. They are now hiding too much from us.

We know nothing about what's happening in the capital, and even after we arrive there we still have to follow their arrangements, which is a very difficult thing for us.

Can't you see it along the way?

Zhu Yuanzhang has so many Jinyiwei guards to guard against us. I didn't expect him to be such a cautious person. We have already submitted to the Ming Dynasty, but he is still worried and makes things difficult for us."

Guanyinnu looked at Wang Baobao's current dilemma and felt a little distressed.

"Brother, you don't have to embarrass yourself like this. Don't worry, leave this matter to me. As long as I have the chance, I will definitely help you find out what the above means.

In fact, it doesn’t matter to me now who I marry.

The important thing is to protect our tribe and our people. Now it seems that both Zhu Kai and Zhu Yuanzhang are worried about our tribe and want to completely imprison us."

“The Emperor’s thoughts are the most difficult to find out. Even if they knew the truth, they would never tell us two brothers and sisters. They are so anxious to let us leave our tribe this time, just to prevent us from having the opportunity to bring people to the capital.

From this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts and ideas about us are obvious.
He still had some concerns and worries, thinking that we might do something that would threaten his life. Now thinking about it, it seems normal.

We are afraid of each other and check and balance each other, and that’s okay.”

"Zhu Yuanzhang didn't allow us to bring our people and followers to the capital. In addition to precautions, I think his real plan for us is that he doesn't want us to return to the tribe. I'm afraid we will never have the chance to go back in the future."

After hearing this, Wang Baobao sighed helplessly.

"Guanyinnu, you are my biological sister after all. I would not be able to bear to send you away. But the situation is like this now. If we don't do this, we will die.

Who is Zhu Yuanzhang? He was once an emperor who led a group of people to conquer the world. Now the world is under his control, and he does not allow anyone to go against his will. "

"Brother, since we surrendered to the Ming Dynasty until now, tell me the truth, do you still have the idea of ​​making a comeback?"

After hearing Guanyinnu's straightforward question, Wang Baobao quickly put his head close to the door and looked through the crack to see if anyone outside was eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Okay, big brother, you don't need to explain anymore. Seeing your behavior, I know that you must still have the idea of ​​making a comeback in your heart.

But things are different now, we no longer have the strength in this area.

Not to mention that we have General Zhu Kai and General Lan Yu guarding us, these people in the tribe are simply no match for us. This is really too difficult for us. "

Wang Baobao sighed helplessly.

"Sister, I think you must have misunderstood. I, your big brother, no longer have any thoughts or ideas in this regard.

From the beginning, I really didn't want to be with them, but what can I do now? We are already in a state of ruin, and there is no possibility of recovery. What I am really worried about is your second brother."

"Second brother? You mean he still wants our tribe to be independent again? How can he be so foolish? Zhu Kai said something very right. The wheel of history keeps moving forward. This is the general trend and no one can stop it."

"It seems that you agree with Zhu Kai's ideas. Could it be that you really have some feelings for Zhu Kai?"

"No, I just admire him as a person, and that he is valued by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Moreover, he was able to defeat our entire tribe with General Lan Yu. He does have some ability. The most important thing is that I saw the arrangements he made after our tribe was conquered.

He does business with you and makes our place prosperous and strong, and every member of our tribe is very happy. But now think about it, we are asking for so much.

It is really for the sake of making their masters live a more prosperous life. There is no other reason. Is it really that important to us who controls the world's affairs?"

"I have the same thought in my mind now, and perhaps I have figured it out, but your second brother is a very stubborn person, and I am afraid that he will not be able to figure it out in a short time.

On the contrary, it would cause some trouble, but let's take it one step at a time.

Many things are not as easy to solve as we think. Your second brother's ideas are also quite extreme. We came here this time.

He is alone in the tribe, so he probably won't do anything excessive."

Guanyinnu thought about it for a long time before speaking.

"This is what I'm most worried about. My second brother has a very extreme personality. It would be bad if he did something at this critical moment."

"Do you think Zhu Kai is so easy to deal with? He must have arranged everything before he left."

From the words of Guanyin Nu and Wang Baobao, we can see that they both feel powerless about the future and don't know what they should do.

The most important thing is that the two of them now know that there is no way to resist the entire Ming Dynasty, and surrender is their fate.

On the other hand, Mao Xiang originally wanted to explain the arrangements of the Jinyiwei to Zhu Kai in order to ease Zhu Kai's rather bad impression of him, but seeing Zhu Kai's aloof look, he didn't know what to say.

"This guy is so arrogant. No wonder the emperor is always dissatisfied with his arrangements. He really doesn't take people seriously. I am worried that the commander-in-chief would treat me like this."

At this time, Zhu Chong met Mao Xiang, who had just hit a wall.

"Meet the Third Prince."

"Hurry up and stand up. Don't be so polite. You are so polite that I don't know what to do. You came all the way from the capital to protect us. We should be grateful to you."

"My Lord, you are really embarrassing me by saying this."

"How is that possible? In this situation, we still have to rely on your arrangements so that we can return to the capital smoothly. I see that you don't look well. Did something happen?"

"That's not true."

"Don't hide it here. I saw you talking to my second brother just now. He seemed a little dissatisfied with your arrangement."

Mao Xiang saw that he could no longer hide it, so he lowered his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty has a keen eye."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about it. My second brother has this kind of temper. He is used to being arbitrary."

"The King of Sai is arbitrary?"

Zhu Chong saw the other party's surprise and confusion, and he immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.

"I think you must have completely misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that my second brother has this temper. Even my father knows it, so he let him go so far away.

Don't bother with him. Sometimes, being too angry is not good for yourself. Just go back and have a good rest. I think the arrangements made by the Jinyiwei are quite meticulous.

We were in a hurry to come back this time and didn't have time to make any arrangements for the road. I also felt that Lao Wu and General Lan Yu would have a very hard time on this journey.

It was not until I came to the post station today and saw your arrangements that I was able to rest assured. The Jinyiwei is indeed worthy of its reputation. No wonder my father values ​​you so much and regards you as the most important person around him."

Zhu Chong is a very talkative person. He has high emotional intelligence and is very likable. It is for this reason that Zhu Kai is willing to bring them here and teach all his skills to his two younger brothers.

"You are too polite, my lord."

"Okay, I am quite tired now and want to go back to rest. You should also go to bed early. We have to set off at dawn tomorrow."

"Then I won't bother you, Your Majesty."

After Mao Xiang finished speaking, he left immediately. Zhu Di saw the two of them talking downstairs and felt a little unhappy.

Zhu Di knew that everyone had their own little thoughts.

Now is not the time to reveal his true feelings, but his only thought now is to protect his second brother. (End of this chapter)
