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

Zhu Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes beside him.

At this moment, he saw Wang Baobao, who was feeling uneasy beside him, out of the corner of his eye.

I was thinking to myself that I almost forgot about this guy. It was really inappropriate to let him wait by my side for such a long time.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so busy caring about his brothers that he actually forgot about Wang Baobao. If one was narrow-minded, one might think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was leaving him alone on purpose and that Wang Baobao was just trying to intimidate him.

In fact, the prince was not such a person. If it was arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang, it would be understandable, but Prince Zhu Biao would never be a person with such character.

Zhu Kai quickly patted the prince.

"Brother, we were so excited about the meeting that we forgot that the leader of the Mongol tribe was waiting nearby. It's really inappropriate to wait and see the Crown Prince and leave him alone."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao calmed down after Zhu Kai's reminder. He immediately put away his nervousness and excitement, and spoke to the commander-in-chief with a serious expression.

"Mao Xiang, you don't have to take what Zhu Kai just said to heart.

You should go back to the palace and report to the emperor first. Tell him everything that happened along the way. He should be very interested in knowing what happened here. Leave it to Li Wenzhong. You can go and make a handover with Li Wenzhong later."

Li Wenzhong heard the prince's arrangement nearby and did not dare to question it.

"Master Mao, please go to the side to hand over the deployment and arrangements."

Afterwards, the prince came to the side under the guidance of Zhu Kai and saw Wang Baobao standing in front of him.

General Lan Yu stood next to Wang Baobao.

"Wang Baobao, haven't you always wanted to meet the Crown Prince in person? Now that the Crown Prince is in front of you, why do you seem a little embarrassed? You are the leader of the Mongol tribe, you need to show your heroic spirit."

When Wang Baobao heard what Zhu Kai said, he quickly knelt down.

"Wang Baobao, leader of the Mongol tribe, pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Although Crown Prince Zhu Biao was a relatively kind person, at this time he still had to give the other party the dignity and attitude that a crown prince of the Ming Dynasty should have.

He did not invite the other party to stand up immediately, but stood up and looked at Wang Baobao who was kneeling on the ground.

"I have heard from the King of Sai about these things in the border tribes a long time ago. I have also heard about your experiences in the border tribes a long time ago. If you want to see me, I would also like to see you.

I want to see what kind of hero you are, to be able to occupy the Liaobei region for so many years, and even become a major threat to our Ming Dynasty."

When Zhu Kai heard what the prince said, he also felt that the other party still had the demeanor of a prince of the Ming Dynasty.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, this is all in the past. Before the prince came to our tribe, it was indeed me who occupied a region. However, after fighting with the prince, I was convinced and now I am willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Our tribe has been competing with the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and it was really like an egg against a rock. We witnessed the bravery of General Lan Yu and the prince on the battlefield.

We know that submitting to the Ming Dynasty is the general trend, so we dare not continue to be stubborn. This time we will go to the capital to pay homage to the emperor and show our attitude. "

Wang Baobao had been lying on the ground for several minutes.

Zhu Kai is also quite embarrassed now. Although he should give the other party a warning, it is also disrespectful to treat others like this all the time.

What's more, Wang Baobao was in such a hurry this time that he didn't have time to bring any guards with him. He only brought his sister.

Zhu Kai knew that this was the time for him to be a "good guy".

So Zhu Kai quickly coughed a few times on purpose.

"Um... Wang Baobao, I have already reported what you said to the court. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come here specially to greet you today, knowing that you are a distinguished guest who has come from afar.

In the past, when you were competing with our Ming Dynasty, you were indeed an enemy, but the rule here has always been that it is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar.

The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to greet you personally was not because of me and the other princes, but because he wanted to greet you. This is also the Emperor's respect for your tribe. You should understand the good intentions of the court."

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao heard what Zhu Kai said, he realized that he couldn't just let the other person be the only one to be a good person, so he quickly smiled, bent down and personally pulled up Wang Baobao who was kneeling on the ground.

"What the King of Sai said makes sense. This time, I, the prince, am here to welcome you, the Mongol tribe, on the orders of the emperor. It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar."

Wang Baobao was a border man, so of course he didn't understand what this sentence meant, so Zhu Kai had to come out and explain it.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and I regard you as a distant friend. We should be happy when a distant friend comes. It is also a courtesy to come here to greet you."

Wang Baobao Bei, he said with his head down after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helped him up.

"That being said, I am a little overwhelmed by the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to greet us personally."

"You used to be the leader of your tribe, and before you surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, you were also the one who had the final say in the Mongol tribe.

This prince has come to greet you in person. This is not a big deal. On the contrary, it can reflect the respect that our Ming Dynasty and the current emperor have for you.

As long as they are wise and capable of surrendering to our Ming Dynasty, they deserve to be treated with courtesy.”

Zhu Kai thought to himself that the prince was worthy of being the prince. Saying this could not only reflect his majesty, but also make the other party feel more comfortable.

This may be the art of language. Sometimes I just speak directly, not because I don’t understand these things, but because I just don’t want to think about such complicated things.

"It's just that we came too hastily this time, and we didn't prepare any gifts for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor, which was impolite. Otherwise, we would have brought some special products from the tribe to present to the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"You can't be blamed for this. It was indeed because the emperor suddenly asked us to come here and we left in a hurry. We didn't have time to prepare anything, not only gifts and specialties, but we didn't even have time to bring a personal guard with us."

Of course the prince knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had good intentions in making such arrangements. He deliberately did not allow them to prepare and suddenly called them back so that he could see everyone's true state.

"You are a guest when you come to our palace. Logically speaking, you are the guests who came to our Ming Dynasty on your own initiative. You don't need to bring anything. The emperor won't mind."

On the other side, in order to save time and quickly hand over to Li Wenzhong, Mao Xiang hurriedly began to describe his deployment along the way to the other party.

"Sir Li, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked us to take over, let's start now. It's best to be quick."

Li Wenzhong had been waiting here for several hours with Crown Prince Zhu Biao. Even if he did nothing but stood by for several hours, he felt very tired. He became a little impatient when he heard this.

“Sir Mao, I know you have worked very hard escorting His Highness Zhu Kai along the way.

I am anxious now and want to go back home and have a good rest, but this thing has to be done step by step and arranged according to the system. Many things cannot be achieved in a hurry.

Don't be so anxious, you have to tell me slowly. This involves the safety of several princes, we can't be careless at all.

You just mean that you have already escorted us all the way, so this distance won't be a big deal.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not asked us to take over, you could have stayed with the princes until you sent them back to the capital."

Because Mao Xiang worked for Zhu Yuanzhang, he had developed a rather impatient temper.

The reason why he was so anxious to hand over to the other party was not because he wanted to go home and rest, but because he wanted to quickly enter the palace to "report the situation" to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Master Li, do you think I am so anxious to hand over to you because I am lazy and want to go home and rest?"

“Some things don’t need to be made too clear. We are all officials in the court. It’s fine if everyone knows it. But if we make it too clear, it will not be good for anyone.

Seeing that you are so anxious, let's hand over the task quickly.

Please tell me about the deployment along the way, how many people are still on the way, have you encountered any special situations, and does anyone want to harm the princes?"

Mao Xiang had been feeling angry at Zhu Kai all along the way and had no place to vent his anger. When he heard what the other party said, he immediately became furious.

"Li Wenzhong, what do you mean by that? Do you really want to hand over to me? Are you so lazy about the things that His Royal Highness arranged?

Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and rely on the Prime Minister. In terms of martial arts, I am not afraid of you, and in terms of background, I am not afraid of you either!"

In your article, this guy looks like a mad dog and is about to turn against you.

There were some soldiers around him, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Li Wenzhong was usually a guy who cared a lot about his reputation. He felt really embarrassed when being scolded like that by the other party. He became anxious and angry, and his face immediately turned red.

But he did not dare to disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, after all, Zhu Kai, Wang Baobao and others were beside him.

Therefore, Li Wenzhong could only swallow his anger and remember this incident for the time being, he said with gritted teeth.

"Mao Xiang, what are you shouting about?
The truth does not lie in the loudness of the voice. I am also a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. Let's forget about what happened today. I won't argue with you. Hand over the things quickly and leave quickly.

I don't want to see you like this again. Don't think that you have done a great service just because you escorted His Highness Zhu Kai all the way. You can do whatever you want. There are still many days to come. Let's wait and see."

Mao Xiang thought that Li Wenzhong had been following the prince for a long time, and the reason why he dared to be so arrogant and domineering was simply because he had the protection of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Regarding today's situation, both of them felt as if they had suffered a loss.

Everyone felt that only by considering the overall situation and making concessions could things go smoothly.

Zhu Di followed Zhu Kai and his ears were still very sharp.

All of a sudden, he heard two people arguing nearby. The distance was quite far, and although he could not hear clearly what they were saying, but when he saw the tense expressions on their faces, Zhu Di could tell that there must be some conflict between them.

He silently kept this matter in mind, hoping it might come in handy in the future.

This was also what Zhu Kai taught him, to observe the surrounding situation calmly, and never know when an emergency might occur, which would be beneficial to him.

Li Wenzhong didn't say anything. Mao Xiang told him all his arrangements along the way. It was also his next task to continue protecting Zhu Kai and others.

Then Mao Xiang said.

"Master Li, I have just explained everything to you very clearly. Is there anything you don't understand?"

Li Wenzhong said nonchalantly, rolling his eyes.

"It's not my first time in the imperial court. How could I not understand something? You have explained it very clearly. If I still don't understand, do you think I'm a fool?"

"Sir Li is of course extremely intelligent and can understand many things at a glance.

Since you have understood everything, I will lead the Jinyiwei to retreat. In a moment, I will tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Zhu Kai and then we can leave here. My mission will be completed.

If anything happens in the capital, you will have to bear it yourself, Lord Li, and don't blame us Jinyiwei."

Li Wenzhong sneered and said.

"Mao Xiang, I know that you usually come and go freely in the palace with the Jinyiwei, and you look very majestic.

But you can't question others, can you? What kind of situation can we encounter in the capital during this prosperous era? Do you want to curse me to fail in my work and be punished by my master, or do you want to curse His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others to be in danger?"

Mao Xiang knew that this guy usually behaved in a mean manner, and he didn't want to talk to him too much, it was just a waste of time.

"Lord Li, since you don't have any other questions, I will go and take my leave from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now."

After Mao Xiang finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and lowered his head, without any error in etiquette. He took a few steps back, turned around and came in front of the prince and Zhu Kai.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Sai, I have officially completed the handover with Lord Li Wenzhong, and there are no more problems on his side."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction.

“Yeah, well, I didn’t expect you two to be so fast.

We haven't even finished exchanging pleasantries yet, but you've already completed the handover.

In that case, you should go back first. After all, the most important thing for the Jinyiwei is to protect the emperor. Leave the future to this prince and Li Wenzhong. You can take the rest of the Jinyiwei and withdraw. "

When Mao Xiang heard the Crown Prince say this, he felt as if a huge stone had been lifted off his chest. (End of this chapter)
