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

As Zhu Kai spoke, he was riding a horse in front, followed by a group of people. The momentum was truly extraordinary.

Li Wenzhong stood next to Crown Prince Zhu Biao and saw a group of people surrounding Zhu Kai on horseback, following behind him like his followers. In fact, he also felt that Zhu Kai was a little too arrogant.

"Your Highness, I don't mean to make irresponsible remarks at this time, but the King of Sai returned to the capital without any preparation. Isn't he being too arrogant?"

“The King of Sai is surrounded by people who usually follow him, so how can it be considered as putting on airs?
You said you didn't sow discord or make irresponsible remarks, but I think you are sowing discord now!

Just say this in front of this prince, don't let the emperor hear it. If the emperor hears it, he will think that there is something wrong between us brothers. "

"Your Highness, I just feel it's not worth it for you.

We all know that His Highness Zhu Kai has always had this kind of personality. We originally thought that it might be better for him to go to the border area to hone his personality.

Now it seems that he has made such great contributions in subduing Wang Baobao and the Mongolian Yuan tribe, and he is even more famous. Who in the court can compare with him? I am afraid that you, the prince, have to be a little faster in front of him. "

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately turned around and glared at Li Wenzhong.

"Have you said enough?"

The prince only knew that the man in front of him who was a little arrogant and wanted to show off was his younger brother.

He didn't care about these things. He was already the crown prince, and his status was unmatched. So why should he be jealous of his brothers at this time?

Even if Zhu Kai is extremely arrogant, it is well deserved. After all, he has made great contributions and solved the emperor's biggest worry. No matter how the emperor Wang Baobao wants to reward him, it would not be excessive.

Li Wenzhong didn't have any other thoughts. Apart from not liking Zhu Kai's flamboyant personality, he was also truly loyal to the Crown Prince, so he said such words.

Just when the two of them shut up, Zhu Kai had already ridden his horse in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was welcoming Zhu Kai below, he had to show his own attitude. He immediately got off his horse, walked up to him and held His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's hand.

Li Wenzhong watched as Zhu Kai did not kneel or bow when he met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and his anger grew even more.

"What is this? Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not kneel down, everyone said that the King of Sai did not follow the rules, but he really did it in front of so many people. Doesn't this count as not giving face to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhu Kai also heard Li Wenzhong's mumbling nearby, and thought to himself, "I am not deaf, should I go to him and talk nonsense here?"
Zhu Kai always aroused jealousy in the court.

He has made such a great contribution this time, the number of people who are jealous of him in the court must have doubled. Zhu Kai thought that the more these people are jealous of him, the more he wants to piss off these ungrateful guys.

"You're finally back, brat. It's been over a year. Come and show me, have you become a little darker because of the wind at the border?"

"Brother, you've been exposed to the wind and sun on the grassland, so it's inevitable that you'll become a little darker. Don't you think you'll be more handsome and manly if your skin is a little darker?"

"Handsome?"

Zhu Kai smiled and quickly explained.

"Hey, brother, have you forgotten what I told you before? Handsome is used to describe men, to describe men who are handsome and unrestrained."

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao heard this, he patted his head gently and said jokingly.

"Oh, look at my memory. You haven't been in the capital for more than a year. No one said these weird things in front of me, so naturally I don't remember them. Don't blame me for having a bad memory."

"It's okay, brother. How could I blame you for having a bad memory? Look, I'm back now and I'll be by your side every day teaching you these new words."

After saying this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Kai face to face and saw that Zhu Kai had become not only darker, but also thinner, and his face even looked a little yellow.

"Compared to when you were in the capital, you have become darker and thinner. If my mother saw this, I don't know how heartbroken she would be."

"Brother, it's okay. Didn't I tell you just now? For a man, this is not considered hardship. This is just training."

"Yes, only those who endure the most hardships can become the best."

Zhu Chong seemed to speak without thinking, and I don't know if he did it on purpose. It's normal for him to suffer when he said such things in front of the prince. When he mentioned the person who is superior to him in front of the prince, isn't the person who is superior to him the emperor?
Zhu Kai immediately turned around and glared at this brainless guy. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not think so much. He was not a petty person and immediately noticed the two younger brothers next to him.

No, it’s three younger brothers.

Zhu Di usually didn't like to talk, and he didn't want to stand out in this kind of situation, so he hid beside the crowd. It was so dark, and his skin was darker, so if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to notice he was there.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao immediately walked forward and stood between Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang. He put his arm around one with his left hand and the other with his right hand and put both of them on his shoulders.

"I haven't seen you two for over a year and you've both grown taller. It seems that being in the Border Lands can actually help you grow taller."

When Zhu Gang was hugged by the Crown Prince, he was suddenly reminded of his childhood and how his elder brother took care of them. He couldn't help but shed tears. Sometimes he also felt that he was a more emotional person.

"Brother...we really miss you. We haven't seen you for such a long time. Are you okay?"

Zhu Gang's tears made the prince feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Brother, everything is fine in the capital, but you have suffered a lot following your second brother in such a far place. You must take good care of yourself when you return to the capital this time.

You are all princes of the Ming Dynasty. You have lived in very good conditions since childhood and have never suffered from hardship. Seeing you all so dark and thin, your mother would definitely feel distressed when she saw you. "

Zhu Kai was originally in a complicated mood. Although he missed his elder brother very much, he was not in a state of crying for joy.

Zhu Kai thinks that he is a person who easily cries.

Especially in this kind of situation, the appearance of three parts sincerity and seven parts falsehood really made him feel uncomfortable, but when he saw the prince crying, Zhu Kai couldn't help but be moved.

Zhu Di was standing nearby and saw this scene. He did not show any reaction. Zhu Kai quickly pulled Zhu Di to the prince.

"Brother, I'm telling you to not be partial.

If you want to care about someone, you should care about the youngest one first. Look at the fifth one, he is looking at you eagerly, why doesn't anyone care about him? He is the one who has worked the hardest in the past year or so. "

Zhu Di felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhu Kai say this. "Oh, second brother, please don't say that. We have been with you for such a long time. Didn't you always tell us not to be hypocritical?
Big brother will naturally care about whoever he sees first. I don’t care about these things. We have a brotherly relationship and there is no need to be petty. "

After being reminded by Zhu Kai, Crown Prince Zhu Biao noticed Zhu Di next to him.

He quickly walked forward and hugged his youngest brother tightly with both hands. He was usually taciturn and everyone didn't care enough about him.

Zhu Kai is the only one who truly cares about his younger brother, so Zhu Di is so devoted to Zhu Kai and is simply a die-hard fan of Zhu Kai.

"Xiao Wu, at the beginning, the emperor didn't allow you to go to such a far place with your second brother, but you insisted on following.

How was your time over the past year? You've suffered a lot, right? Now that there's an opportunity like this, are you still going to go? You're the youngest among the brothers, wouldn't it be great for you to study hard in the capital?"

Zhu Di hugged the Crown Prince and patted him gently on the back a few times to comfort him.

"Brother, please don't say such things. I feel very lucky and happy to have the opportunity to be with my second brother.

It would be a lie to say that these past year or so have not been hard. I have indeed suffered some hardships, but they were nothing compared to the hardships I experienced in the capital.

We followed our second brother, and he never let us do anything hard or tiring. He was particularly caring towards his younger brothers and made very good arrangements for us.

From food and daily life to more detailed issues, my second brother never let us worry about these things. "

When Zhu Di said this, the prince believed it very much.

"Yeah, you're right. I may be skeptical about other things, but I believe what you said.

Second brother, although he is usually naughty in front of our father and is often scolded, he really cares about you brothers.

As long as you stay by his side, he will not let you suffer any loss, and he will bear all the hardship and fatigue. "

Zhu Kai was actually very touched by the prince's attitude towards them.

He could see that the prince didn't care about his identity at all at this moment. He only knew that the people in front of him were his most beloved brothers, which also moved Zhu Kai very much.

"Brother, we knew you would greet us at the city gate on our way back.

It's getting so late, you must have been waiting here for several hours. There's no need for you to wait for us here.

Sooner or later, we will return to the capital and meet each other. Why should you, the prince, bother to come to the city gate to greet us?"

“Isn’t it okay for you, the brat brother, to want to see you guys first?
I am not old and it is not difficult for me to move a step. Isn't it normal for me to bring people here to greet you? I want to see what you have become first. "

Zhu Kai saw that the prince was still in the mood to joke with them, so he also smiled and said.

"Even if he wanted to come to greet me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't come in person. Didn't the court send anyone else? It seems that the Emperor didn't care about us and didn't send anyone to greet us."

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao immediately stepped forward and gently tapped Zhu Kai on the head.

"I said, when will you change your character?

You behaved very well when you arrived just now, showing your concern for big brother by not letting him be here to greet you. But now you start to make trouble again.

Father, how could he not miss you? It was Father who asked me to come and greet you. These important ministers in the court have their own things to do. It's so late. How can I bother them?"

Mao Xiang saw that their greetings were coming to an end, so he quickly stepped forward and knelt before the prince.

"I am Mao Xiang, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I am here to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I was ordered by the Emperor to meet the King of Sai and the other princes halfway. Now I have successfully brought them all back to the capital. I would like to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the mission has been accomplished."

The prince calmed himself down and quickly helped the other person up.

"Master Mao, you did these things because you listened to our father. I have heard about it along the way. You did a great job.

It is because of your careful protection that Zhu Kai and the others were able to come back so quickly.

Mao Xiang, your mission has been completed. Take the Jinyiwei back first and report to your father about what happened along the way. I'm sure your father hasn't rested yet.

Go back before the palace gates close, and leave the affairs here to this prince. I brought a lot of people here and will arrange for them to stay in the inn in the capital. You are not needed here for the time being, so you can go back and rest early."

When Mao Xiang heard the prince's words, he was a little hesitant.

"This……"

"What's wrong? Why are you so hesitant? Did the Emperor give you other tasks?"

"That's not the case. When His Royal Highness was about to reach the capital on the road, I thought about coming back to report the situation to the emperor.

However, His Royal Highness the King of Sai said that there was no rush, so I did not come back in person, but sent my men back to report. I hope the Emperor will not blame me. "

When Zhu Kai heard this, he thought to himself that what this guy said was really nonsense.

He was clearly complaining to the prince, as if he had wronged him so much.

This is what he wanted to say in front of the prince, how domineering he seemed to be in front of outsiders, and how he had been protecting himself all the way, as if he had suffered a great injustice. Zhu Kai really wanted to step forward and slap this guy in the face.

"Mao Xiang, what do you mean by that? Are you questioning my decision?

He didn't bring many guards along the way, and apart from General Lan Yu who was guarding by his side, there were no more people.

I kept you and the Jinyiwei by my side because I am afraid of death and want you to accompany me and protect me along the way. Are you satisfied with this answer? "

Mao Xiang also saw that Zhu Kai was indeed a little angry. He actually said such words on impulse, so he dared not refute him.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant." (End of this chapter)
