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

When Liu Bowen heard this, he stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the people that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just mentioned are indeed not suitable to go to the city gate to welcome His Royal Highness Zhu Kai. Why not let this old minister go with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? This will save face for both parties."

"How can that be done? Lord Liu Bowen is old, and he shouldn't go to the city gate to greet us. Zhu Kai would feel uncomfortable if he saw him. He is not someone who puts on airs easily.

Zhu Kai has been in the border area for such a long time that he has already corrected all his bad habits and faults. How could he care about these things?
In fact, it all depends on everyone's attitude. As long as the attitude is there, he won't think too much. Sir Liu Bowen, you don't have to go with me. Even I feel a little embarrassed if I ask you to go."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the prince and said everything he wanted to say, and then he said.

"Liu Ji, your status is extraordinary and I ask you to go and greet him in person, but this kid can't bear it.

Moreover, I have already sent people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard to escort you along the way. This is already a great honor. This brat won’t care so much. You don’t have to worry about these things.

We should think about how to place Wang Baobao. He is the first person from the border tribe to surrender to our Ming Dynasty. If we don't arrange for him well, other people will also become restless.

The problems in the border areas are even more difficult to deal with. I really hope to conquer all the border areas and tribes in this lifetime.

If this goal is not achieved, even death will be no match for the eyes.

Fortunately, everyone around him could be considered to have benefited from Zhu Kai. This time, with Lao Wu and General Lan Yu, he was finally able to get rid of Wang Baobao first.

However, how to place Wang Baobao is still a problem, and everyone in the world is watching our attitude with open eyes. "

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang talking about this issue, everyone knew the seriousness of the matter. If it was not handled properly, the emperor would not be satisfied, and no one would be satisfied. It would be a waste of Zhu Kai's preparations over the past year.

“Your Majesty heard that the prince returned with Wang Baobao and his sister Guanyinnu.

It would be better to leave all the brothers and sisters in Yingtian Prefecture. The border area is bitterly cold and the material conditions are very poor.

If they came to the capital and saw how prosperous and wealthy we are, I'm afraid they wouldn't want to go back even if they were asked to."

"Master Hu, your idea is really puzzling. I remember there is a saying among the people that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.

No matter how good this capital city is, it cannot compare to their home. Even if they are kept here, their hearts are not here.

I'm afraid he wants to go back to the border. If Wang Baobao stays here, who can handle the border issues? We can't let the prince guard there all the time."

"Zhu Kai has been named the King of the Frontier, so he must go to the frontier. Could it be that after he comes back this time, the emperor doesn't plan to let him go back to the border again?
It is not a wise move to keep the prince in the capital. I believe that the emperor will not do this, and other ministers will not agree. The emperor should think twice before acting. Wang Baobao's matter will affect the whole body. "

What Liu Bowen said really reminded Zhu Yuanzhang. No wonder this guy was able to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years and serve as a military advisor beside him.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang admired Liu Bowen very much, otherwise he would not have let him be the prince's teacher.

Just a few words from him were able to remind Zhu Yuanzhang what should be done and what should not be done.

If Wang Baobao's matter is not handled properly, the border issue will become a series of problems. This is not something they can solve easily. They have to think it through first and then decide. Zhu Kai's return this time is a good opportunity, but Long Yizhang has decided that no matter how to deal with Wang Baobao, his sister must stay in the capital for marriage.

As for Wang Baobao, whether to arrange him to the Jiangnan area far away from the tribe, or to other places, it depends on Wang Baobao's attitude and Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas.

He still hasn't figured out what to do.

However, he knew more clearly in his mind that he could not deal with this matter casually as it also concerned Zhu Kai.

Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that Zhu Kai's status in the Mongolian tribe would become increasingly higher, which might affect his management of that area.

"Prince, someone from the Imperial Guard just came back to tip us off, saying that Zhu Kai and his men will be able to return to the capital before dusk today. If you are going to take someone to greet them, you should prepare in advance.

Don't be too hasty when the time comes, otherwise the team will be in chaos.

If Wang Baobao saw this, he would think that our Ming Dynasty actually has this attitude. You represent the face of the Ming Dynasty, so you must not lose face. Even if they have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they are still foreigners to us. "

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao heard this, he quickly spoke up.

"Please rest assured, Father. Everything has already been arranged. I will lead my people to go and meet my brother about an hour in advance. I am a little impatient.

I believe Zhu Kai and the others are eager to go home, and they might be back before dusk."

"Xu Da, how do you feel now that your daughter is about to come back? I believe you feel the same as I do. We are both thinking about our children."

"Your Majesty, I didn't think too much about marrying my daughter to him.

His Highness Zhu Kai can take good care of her. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Even if he misses this girl, he cannot overstep his authority and he must not forget his own identity.

She is no longer just my daughter, she is the emperor's daughter-in-law, the second princess, she has her own duties and things she should do, there is nothing to say about it."

Xu Da was really becoming more and more cautious in his actions. He knew that as Zhu Yuanzhang got older, he became more suspicious of the people around him. He didn't want to get into trouble, so he said these things.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Xu Da's words. No matter whether he was sincere or false, at least these things must not be talked about openly.

"Wang Baobao actually came with his sister Guanyinnu, so let's take a look at what the most beautiful woman in the Mongol Yuan tribe looks like.

I see that none of you have ever seen women from the Mongol Yuan tribes, so I will open your eyes this time. If you have men of the right age, you can bring them to the palace to attend the banquet."

Zhu Kai was riding on a horse, and he actually wanted to return to the capital city as quickly as possible.

But there was a horse-drawn carriage behind, so the riders could ride faster. If the carriage went too fast, it would be very bumpy inside. He knew that Xu Miaoyun had been brought up in luxury since childhood.

I have suffered a lot since I got to the border area. If I continue to be bumpy in the carriage along the way, I will probably fall apart when I get back.

Zhu Chong saw that Zhu Kai was a little worried. When he looked back at the carriage, he knew that his second brother was worried about Xu Miaoyun. "Second brother, the journey was a bit bumpy, but before we set off, I put some thicker mattresses in the carriage, I believe it should be able to alleviate some of the pain."

When Zhu Kai heard this, he was very surprised. Although this boy was usually considered careful, he did not expect that he could be so careful.

"Zhu Chong, when did you think so much and even put some mattresses in the carriage?"

When Zhu Chong heard Zhu Kai's question, he felt something and thought, "I'm sorry, this is not what I thought."

"To be honest with you, second brother, since this idea was not mine, I cannot take credit for it in front of you.

This was what Guanyinnu thought of. Maybe he felt very uncomfortable after staying in the carriage with his second sister-in-law for such a long time, so he came up with this idea.

He came to me and told me, and I asked someone to do it. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank Guanyin Nu. "

When Zhu Kai heard this, he became even more certain that these two people must have some private connection.

"When did Guanyin Nu tell you? We started eating after we arrived at the inn last night, and then everyone went to rest. How could he tell you?"

"After breakfast in the morning, he told me that the carriage was a little bumpy and he felt that the princess was feeling uncomfortable, so he asked me to find some thick mattresses to cushion her.

It's already padded very thickly inside, so you don't have to worry, brother. But my sister-in-law is a woman after all, so she must have suffered a lot on the way. We just need to rush back as soon as possible. Even after we go back, we need to rest for a few days before we can recover."

Zhu Kai knew very well that Guanyin Nu was definitely not doing this for him.

He wanted to find an opportunity to please the people around him. It seemed that this woman was indeed not simple. How could Wang Baobao's sister be so simple?
On the surface, he pretended to be pitiful, as if he was being used by someone, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart. It seemed that the saying was indeed true: those who are not of my race must have different hearts!
“It seems that Guanyinnu is really a very careful person.

How come I didn’t realize that Wang Baobao had such a caring sister when I often went to discuss business with him in the past?
It seems that humans are indeed the most complex animals, and we should observe them carefully to understand a little bit of light.

You can never tell a person's true colors from their appearance. Remember, this is not just my opinion, but also an experience I'm passing on to you."

When Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang heard what Zhu Kai said, they both kept it in mind.

They know that whatever their second brother says makes sense, and they just need to remember it patiently. When they are with smart people, they need to listen more, learn more, and watch more.

Mao Xiang rode his horse in the front and led the way. After all, he came here to protect Zhu Kai, so he must be observing the situation at all times. He did not hear what Zhu Kai and the others were saying behind him.

He is now only thinking about what will happen after he returns.

Along the way, Zhu Kai's severity really made him, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, lose a lot of face, and he would not give up so easily.

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out how to make Zhu Kai suffer a loss in front of others.

Although Mao Xiang was promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, he had already stood in Hu Weiyong's camp.

He felt that as long as he followed the head of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, he would not be following the wrong person.

Hu Weiyong also supported Crown Prince Zhu Biao, but he just thought that Crown Prince Zhu Biao was kind-hearted and easier to control, and it was not because he was so loyal.

Among Zhu Yuanzhang's most proud sons, one was Zhu Kai and the other was Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

He would definitely choose someone who was soft-hearted and difficult to control. Even a very smart person like Zhu Kai would be exposed in front of him if he had even the slightest little thoughts.

There would be no benefit in being with such a person, so Hu Weiyong went against Zhu Kai.

Zhu Kai was observing the guy in front of him from behind. He was a restless person and was always talking to the people around him.

Zhu Gang also saw this situation and quickly told Zhu Kai about it.

"Brother, since the Jinyiwei have come to us, it means that our father wants us to do this. But this guy is obviously not convinced by you. Do you want to teach him a lesson?"

“Humph, Mao Xiang is now the leader of the Imperial Guards and is deeply trusted by the emperor. His status is extraordinary and he is not an ordinary person. It is not easy for us to make him suffer.

It's better to stay as far away from him as possible, and we should not interfere with each other. Anyway, we will return to the capital in a few days."

What Zhu Gang was really worried about was what they should do after Zhu Kai left the capital.

Zhu Kai now has a title and fiefdom, and is a vassal king. He is also the first among all Zhu Yuanzhang's sons to have his own title.

I won’t be able to stay in the capital for long before I have to return to my own territory.

At that time, you will be free to do whatever you want, but the third and fourth children are different, they are still young now.

This time when they return to the capital, whether they will have the opportunity to go out with Zhu Kai is another matter. If they offend the Jinyiwei, their life in the capital will not be easy.

Zhu Chong was also aware of this. They had all been testing Zhu Kai to see if Zhu Kai would continue to take them away in pairs.

So, Zhu Chong thought about it for a long time and then said to Zhu Kai.

"Second brother, we have been out with you for more than a year, and we have gained a lot. However, we are still young and have returned to the capital. I don't know if the emperor will allow us to continue to go out with you."

"So what do you two think? Are you willing to stay in the capital and live a life of luxury, or are you willing to follow me to the border and suffer?"

"Brother, what are you saying? How can following you to the borderland be considered suffering?"

"Then what do you think should be called more appropriately?" (End of this chapter)
