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

Mao Xiang was already riding on his horse, ready and waiting to set off.

Seeing Zhu Kai saying so many strange words, he couldn't understand a lot of them, and he became confused, wondering where this guy heard these strange words.

When you are with this kind of person, you really have to think more.

No wonder the emperor was nervous and fond of this son, but also a little wary. A talent like him, and a rare and eccentric one at that, could be called a freak, so he must be used with caution.

Who knows what kind of ideas are in his mind? Since he can convince the grassland overlord Wang Baobao, he must be no ordinary person.

Mao Xiang watched them hesitating here for a long time and unwilling to leave, so he rode up to Zhu Kai and said.

"Your Majesty, I'm ready here and can leave at any time. I wonder when you can leave here? I don't mean to rush you, but if you don't leave now, it might be a waste of time. You still have to hurry up."

After Mao Xiang was defeated by Zhu Kai last time, he was very reluctant in his heart, but he respected Zhu Kai's attitude much more. He didn't dare to be so arrogant and look down on others anymore.

Zhu Di also noticed that this guy's attitude had changed.

"Master Mao, we are fully prepared here, and we can leave as soon as the prince gets on his horse."

Guanyinnu looked at them, and everyone was urging him to hurry back into the carriage.

Xu Miaoyun has been waiting for a long time at this moment.

"Princess, I am so sorry. I wasted time outside. I wanted to ask the prince to come and stay in the carriage with you. I didn't want to disturb you. I didn't expect the prince to be so considerate of us. I am really grateful."

Xu Miaoyun was indeed a very gentle and quiet person. He had nothing to say about this kind of thing and did not blame the other party.

"Guanyin slave, I know what you are thinking, and I can understand your feelings. It must be a bit awkward to be in the same carriage with me. Even if I am easy-going, I may not be able to make you feel at ease."

"Princess, how dare I think that? I just feel that my status and position are not worthy of being with you."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said.

"The prince often told me that people should not be divided into different classes. Although I think what he said is a bit outrageous, it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

Apart from all our identities, we are all ordinary women and should be considerate of each other. Why should I make things difficult for you?

It has not been easy for you to follow your brother and travel thousands of miles from the grassland to the Central Plains. I know you feel very uncomfortable and it is normal to have concerns. Don't think too much about it in the future.

After returning to the capital, the only person you know is the prince, and he is the only one who can speak for you in front of the emperor. We can be said to be in the same camp, and people on the same front should not be so formal. "

Xu Miaoyun's tone was very gentle, and what she said made Guanyin Nu no longer so nervous. He was finally able to let go of the worries deep in his heart.

"Princess, after listening to you, I feel much better. I feel bad that you can be so considerate of me and our Mongol tribe. We are very grateful."

Zhu Kai saw that everything was almost arranged, so he mounted his horse and prepared to leave.

"Mao Xiang, where are all the people in the inn?"

Zhu Kai remembered at this time that the inn they came to was not the kind of deserted one, and there should usually be quite a few guests.

"Your Highness, don't worry. We just drove away the ordinary people. These shopkeepers and waiters have been serving us all the time. Otherwise, who can help us prepare food?
Now that we are leaving, they will of course return to normal and no one will make things difficult for them."

Zhu Kai has always cared about ordinary people. He was very afraid that this group of people would kill innocent people in order to keep a secret.

Zhu Di also thought of this. He had already sent people to protect the waiter and the boss. He would not let the Jinyiwei people hurt them. But if they just passed by and occupied their place, they would be killed. What's the difference between this and robbery?
"Brother, I have sent people to settle them down. Don't worry, no one can hurt them. I have always remembered what you told me. We should have compassion for these ordinary people.

We cannot be so indifferent to the lives of ordinary people just because we have a high status and power. This is a very cold and heartless approach. Second brother will not do this, and neither will I. Everything will be arranged by Second brother."

Zhu Di actually sent people personally to protect this group of people. Zhu Kai knew that if Zhu Di had not done this, it would be hard to imagine what the Jinyiwei would do.

Thinking of this, Zhu Kai felt that it was really terrifying. If power was not locked in a cage, it would bite people when it was released.

Zhu Kai turned around and glanced at Mao Xiang.

Mao Xiang suddenly felt very embarrassed. The lies he had just told were exposed by Zhu Di himself.

It seems that he did go a bit too far, but Zhu Kai didn't dare to do anything to him after saying so much. He had to hurry back to the capital first. If this guy really dared to do something against the law, Zhu Kai would never let him go.

Then everyone rode away on horseback.

Zhu Kai will definitely not give up so easily. He will send people to monitor here, and once someone attacks these ordinary people, he will take some action.

It has been a long time since Zhu Kai came to the Ming Dynasty. Although he is not used to the things around him, he is trying his best to change. However, it is not easy for him to change an era alone.

Because this kind of thinking has been deeply rooted in their minds, Zhu Kai sometimes worries that he will be assimilated over time.

Zhu Kai watched as the Jinyiwei's power grew stronger and stronger, all of which was given to them by Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, he also felt that some of the terrible Jinyiwei had too much power, which was also a bad thing and might have a counterproductive effect. It was normal for anyone to become arrogant after gaining more power.

What's more, they are people like the Jinyiwei who have both power and force.

If they were out of Zhu Yuanzhang's control, these guys would be like wild dogs that had broken free from their reins. I'm afraid they would bite anyone in the court at will. It's scary to think about such a scene.

Inside the imperial court of Yingtian Prefecture.

The next day's morning court had already begun, and Zhu Yuanzhang also came early. After everyone arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang also walked out from the back. Everyone saw that he had dark circles under his eyes and looked a little tired, and everyone was a little worried.

Li Shanchang hurried forward to greet him.

"Your Majesty, did you not get enough rest last night? Why do you look so tired? Logically speaking, the princes are about to come back. Are you so happy that you didn't sleep well this evening?" Li Shanchang's words were always meaningful. He said this because he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang did not sleep well last night and someone must have disturbed him.

Li Shanchang also had spies around him, and he had already known that Hu Weiyong had asked for a meeting late at night last night.

Hu Weiyong remained calm beside him. Since the emperor didn't want to say anything, he didn't dare to reveal it casually. He could only pretend that he knew nothing.

"Master Hu, what's with that expression on your face? Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Li Shanchang suddenly asked Hu Weiyong, catching this guy off guard.

"The King of Sai is about to return with Wang Baobao. Who among us, the important officials of the court, can have a good night's sleep?
I don’t know what will happen next, but I must arrange my own affairs well. After all, this is the first time that foreigners have come to our Ming Dynasty territory in the Central Plains.

We have to let them see how powerful the Ming Dynasty is so that they can be deterred. Wang Baobao can also deter Mobei. They are so close, if they are not handled properly, a war may break out there at any time."

"Well, what Lord Hu said is indeed reasonable."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that one person was missing.
"Where's the Crown Prince's Guard? Is it because he didn't get enough rest last night that his eyes are blurry? How come there's one less person here?"

After hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao hurried forward to explain for his father-in-law.

"Replying to Father, Lord Chang Yuchun is ill and has asked for leave today. He plans to rest at home."

"This Chang Yuchun is really getting more and more outrageous. He was not feeling well, but he didn't tell us in advance and even alarmed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the son-in-law of Lord Chang Yuchun. It is normal to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to pass on the message."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these people in the court one by one. They were either sarcastic or trying to sow discord. It was really disgusting.

Chang Yuchun has been with me since I was a child, and he is the person I trust the most.

Otherwise, how could his daughter be made the Crown Princess? Zhu Yuanzhang could suspect anyone, but he would never allow people around him to sow discord.

After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne and said nothing. He frowned slightly, and his expression showed boredom and impatience.

At this time, Hu Weiyong just wanted to win over His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so there was no way he would say anything bad about Chang Yuchun, and he quickly stood up to speak for them.

"Reporting to the emperor, Lord Chang Yuchun has been fighting in many battles, and he is getting older and older. It is normal for him to be ill. The Crown Princess visited her father and learned that he was not in good health, so she asked His Royal Highness to help pass on the message.

It may not be against the rules, but legal principles are nothing more than human feelings.

This is also the first time for Lord Chang Yuchun, so please don't worry too much about it. Seeing His Highness Zhu Kai coming back soon, this is the real joy."

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao heard Hu Weiyong also speaking for him, he didn't feel anything. The crown prince usually looked down on him. He knew that Hu Weiyong was a bit like an opportunistic villain. When such a person spoke for him, Crown Prince Zhu Biao just felt uncomfortable all over.

"Mr. Chang Yuchun's illness is such a coincidence.

Seeing that His Royal Highness Zhu Kai was about to return with Wang Baobao, and the Emperor still had many state affairs to discuss with everyone, Lord Chang Yuchun was sick, which made others think that he did it on purpose. "

Only at this time did Liu Bowen speak slowly. He was a very smart man and did not dare to speak casually in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. He had to clearly grasp Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts and ideas before he could make his own judgment.

Liu Bowen stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, please stop worrying about Lord Chang Yuchun's affairs.

He himself didn't want to get sick at this time, but how could people not get sick if they ate grains and cereals?

This is human nature, why should we care so much? Can all the adults here guarantee that they will be free from illness, disaster, and pain all year round? "

Everyone knew Liu Bowen's status and position, and since he had said so, no one dared to refute anything.

After hearing what he said, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows relaxed a little, and he no longer looked as serious as before. Everyone was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and no longer be so nervous.

Seeing that they were all silent, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly.

"You have all finished speaking, now it is my turn to speak.

Since Chang Yuchun is not feeling well, let him have a good rest at home. You don't have to think too much about it. Sometimes things in the world are so coincidental that he just happens to be feeling unwell at this time.

After the court is adjourned, let the prince bring the imperial physician to his residence.

Look at him when he was young. He followed me to conquer the world. His health had already deteriorated a long time ago on the battlefield. It is normal for him to suffer from many illnesses and pains. You don't need to think too much about it.

As for other things, Zhu Kai is coming back with people.

This matter is the most important thing to discuss in court today. You all must not get the point wrong. Zhu Kai brought Wang Baobao back, and I would like to ask for your opinions on how to place Wang Baobao?"

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he quickly stood up to report his achievements.

"Father, you asked me to take people to the city gate to welcome Zhu Kai and the others. I have already prepared everything. I am also going to take Lord Li Wenzhong with me to the city gate to welcome them. Don't alarm the other civil and military officials."

"Li Wenzhong? Have you decided to take only Li Wenzhong with you? Not with anyone else?

Zhu Kai is a nagging guy. If I don't bring an important person with me to welcome him, I'm sure he'll feel uncomfortable. Is it appropriate to bring only Li Wenzhong with me?"

"Father, everyone in the court has status. Lord Chang Yuchun is ill. Lord Xu Da is the father of the Second Princess, and can be considered Zhu Kai's father-in-law.

How can we let our father-in-law go outside the city to greet them personally? This is really against etiquette. I am afraid Xu Miaoyun may not be happy if she sees it. It is better not to let others go. It is most appropriate to take Li Wenzhong with you." (End of this chapter)
