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

Although Wang Baobao had a good plan, all his plans were being watched by Zhu Kai.

For Zhu Kai, as long as it does not affect his overall plan, it doesn't matter how he plans. Anyway, these are all child's play in his eyes.

When Zhu Kai was talking to the prince, he felt that if he kept beating around the bush, the prince would be unhappy, so he might as well tell him everything.

"Brother, this is what I think in my heart. Since I cannot go with you to the palace to see the emperor, I have to express my feelings as a son. Rules are rules, and human feelings are human feelings."

Zhu Biao nodded and said.

"Second brother, it seems that you are really becoming more and more mature. Even without my advice, you can still consider these things so carefully.

If Father and Mother knew how filial you were, they would definitely be very pleased."

Zhu Chong can really learn something from Zhu Kai all the time when he is around him.

"Second brother, since you can't enter the palace directly, how can you express your thoughts and feelings for your father, the emperor, and your mother?"

"I'm going to write a letter and ask my eldest brother to take it to my father as a token of my appreciation."

“That’s a good idea, let’s do it this way first.

When we get to the capital, I will send you back to your residence first, and then I will take Wang Baobao and the others to the inn and arrange a place for them to rest. When I have arranged everything, your letter should have been completed, and I will definitely take it back to the palace."

The prince's plan was pretty good, but he was still a step slow.

Zhu Kai has always been a very organized person. When he said these things, it meant that he had already prepared everything.

After the prince finished speaking, he looked back at Zhu Kai and found that he didn't say anything, but just smiled with his head down.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao reacted immediately.

"Oh my, I can tell from your expression that you must have prepared the letter a long time ago, right?"

"Brother, you are really wise."

"Am I smart? If I were smart, I wouldn't have needed to wait so long to realize your little tricks.

I don't know what you are thinking about all day long, kid. In fact, we are all brothers, and you have family ties with the emperor and the queen. Why do you need to consider it so thoroughly?

Are you tired?

I feel tired for you for thinking about these things so carefully and thoughtfully all day long. As a prince, I don’t have as many things in my mind as you do.”

“A wise man can make mistakes even if he thinks a thousand times. I cannot be called a wise man. I must think more carefully so as not to embarrass everyone.

It is for my own good that I show off a little more in front of my father and mother.

Brother, please stop attacking me here. Are you willing to help me take this letter back first? "

"Of course I have no problem with that. You want to express your feelings. As a brother, I definitely want us to be well. But there is one thing I can't figure out. Since you want to send a letter, why didn't you give it to Mao Xiang just now?"

"The main purpose of my letter is to express my longing for my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress. This is a family letter. Since it is a family letter, it must be given to my own talent bank, and of course what I teach him must be official business."

Zhu Di, who was standing next to him, was shocked by Zhu Kai's rigor.

However, he also learned a lesson and learned how Zhu Kai behaved, which made Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma love their son so much. This also has a lot to do with his style of doing things.

"Brother, I really admire you.

How do you think of everything so carefully?

Even if I use my brain, I can't think so comprehensively. It seems that being with you is really rewarding. If it were me, I would definitely not think so carefully. "

Crown Prince Zhu Biao turned around and looked at Zhu Kai.

"Since you are already prepared, I won't say anything. Hurry up and take out your things."

Then, Zhu Kai took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the prince.

"Brother, I'll leave it to you. What's written inside are my true feelings, and what a son should say. But please don't peek. If you see it, I will definitely feel embarrassed."

"Who do you think I am? Am I still someone who likes to read your letters? Do you really not trust me as your brother?"

"Hey, brother, please don't be angry. I was just joking. You know I always like to joke."

"I don't know when you will change your joking personality. If father sees you like this, he will definitely want to slap you with his shoe sole again."

After the prince finished speaking this time, even Wang Baobao beside him couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Kai had finally arranged everything, and now he could return to his mansion with peace of mind.

However, he still had doubts about Wang Baobao's safety in the inn. At least he was worried now, because Hu Weiyong was a sinister and cunning person.

He is now also the most powerful person in the court. Under such circumstances, no matter what he can do, it will not surprise Zhu Kai.

Therefore, he must try his best to select some suitable people to help him do this.

It's not that he doesn't trust the prince, but the prince is too kind. He won't think badly of people, but he just believes that human nature is evil.

Zhu Kai's expression inevitably made the prince a little worried.

"Second brother, if you can't even trust me as your brother, who else can you trust?
Leave Wang Baobao's matter to me. There is no more suitable candidate in the court than me. I have already made arrangements in the capital. Some of the most beneficial people around me will go to guard the inn.

Generally speaking, there will be no problem. You should believe that the safety of Wang Baobao, your brother, involves many people."

At this moment, Zhu Di saw that Zhu Kai was worried, so he quickly spoke.

"Second brother, I just saw that you are indeed worried about this matter.

How about this, I'll go to the palace to meet my father and mother, and then I'll go out and guard the inn myself, so you can finally rest assured."

When Zhu Chong heard this, he immediately objected.

"How can that be possible? You are a prince of the Ming Dynasty after all. How can it look like for you to personally guard Wang Baobao in the inn? We have to show some attitude, but this is a bit too exaggerated."

Zhu Di thought so simply for Zhu Kai. He didn't want to show off in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but the two brothers next to him seemed to have some misunderstandings.

Zhu Di's reaction was quite quick. He immediately realized the thoughts and ideas of Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang, and then he quickly explained.

"Third brother, fourth brother, please don't misunderstand me.

I'm not trying to be noble or anything, I just can't find the right person.

Seeing my second brother in such a difficult situation, I felt a little sorry for him. Since I can do this and it is within my ability, why should I refuse?

It doesn't matter if I suffer a little bit of hardship and fatigue. I just hope that my second brother can have a good rest during his time in Beijing.

After all, my second brother has worked so hard in the Liao region for more than a year. He has also sacrificed a lot for us. Can you just watch him suffer and do nothing about it?"

When Wang Baobao heard this, he quickly spoke up.

"Your Highness, King Sai, since this matter is so difficult, you should not worry about us. After all, I am the leader of the Mongolian Yuan tribe, and I still have some Kung Fu and vigilance.

If you're so worried, the worst that can happen is that I'll just be more alert.

You won't sleep too deeply when you rest at night. Besides, there won't be any danger under the emperor's feet in the capital."

“There is naturally no danger under the emperor’s feet, but there are many people with ulterior motives.

Things in the court are full of twists and turns, and even I sometimes fall into traps unexpectedly.

You don't really understand these things, so I can't say too much, but I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows it all, and knows why I'm worried."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao also knew that what Zhu Kai was worried about was that those people in the court who disliked him would take advantage of this time to cause trouble.

"Second brother, I know you probably already have a suitable candidate in mind for this matter, but you keep it to yourself and don't say it out loud. Why do you have to wait for me to say it in person?
Tell me, who would be more suitable to guard the safety of the inn?"

Zhu Kai lowered his head and smiled.

"Brother, I do have a suitable candidate in mind, but I am not in a position to say it out loud. If I do, you will definitely think that my idea is a bit too much."

"Are you talking about Lord Chang Yuchun?"

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang looked at Zhu Kai's expression and thought that the prince was right, but they were still a little stunned.

"Second brother, do you really think so? Lord Chang Yuchun is here to personally protect the safety of the inn?"

"I didn't ask him to come here in person to guard. His current status is different from before. How could I ask him to come here in person?"

"I can see your little trick. You just want to make Mr. Chang involved in this matter. Only then will you be satisfied, right?"

"Lord Chang Yuchun's status in the court is self-evident. If he can take on this task, I believe that people in the court will not dare to act rashly. How many people dare to make trouble in front of Tai Sui?"

"You, you are really full of wits. How can you come up with such an idea?"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao now admires Zhu Kai, but is also a little wary of him.

He now just felt fortunate that Zhu Kai had no intention of competing with him for power, otherwise he would really lose his position as the crown prince.

Although Wang Baobao had never met Chang Yuchun, he knew that this person held a special position in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. He could not bear to have such a big figure serve as his bodyguard.

So Wang Baobao quickly refused.

"Your Majesty, you have made such careful arrangements for us brothers and sisters that we are really overwhelmed.

Why don't we just forget about this matter and be more careful ourselves? Lord Chang Yuchun is of such status and position, how dare we ask him to protect us? This is really embarrassing for us.

I dare not, I dare not!"

Zhu Biao didn't say anything when he heard this.

"Wang Baobao, you don't need to feel nervous or afraid about this matter. Since Zhu Kai has already said so, just do as he says.

Although Lord Chang Yuchun has a very high status, you cannot ask him to personally go to the door of the inn to help you stand guard.

The main reason is that Zhu Kai wants to drag Lord Chang into the water and let him fight against some of the forces of Zhang Zhong in the court, so that he can play a balancing role.

Zhu Kai, I think you are really good at applying the principle of one thing conquering another. Even I, your brother, don’t know how to say anything to you. "

Judging from the prince's attitude, Zhu Kai seemed to agree.

"Brother, since you haven't rejected my words, then I assume that you agree to this matter?"

"This matter, what I say does not count. I still have to go back and ask the emperor for instructions. Even if I am the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, I cannot make arrangements for Lord Chang Yuchun casually.

He is the father-in-law of this prince and an important minister in the court. Basically, he is second only to the emperor. I have to go back and ask my father for permission on this matter.

But don't worry, I won't tell my father that this was your idea when I get back."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao is really good to his younger brothers Zhu Kai. Now he is only thinking about how to help them achieve their goals and wishes.

In front of the emperor, he would also be careful with his words and actions.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had very complicated feelings towards his son Zhu Kai. Sometimes he loved this smart son very much, and sometimes he was afraid that he was too smart.

After all, he had to act very excited in front of the emperor, but he couldn't show any edge. Even his biological father would sometimes be afraid of his talent.

The reason why the prince was so cautious was that he had seen too many similar situations in history, and he did not want the situation where the brothers' struggle for power and profit got out of control to happen to him.

The prince sometimes advised Zhu Yuanzhang not to be too afraid of Zhu Kai's talent.

"Don't worry, Lao Er, when you come back this time, I, as your big brother, will definitely help you.

No matter what you ask for, I will not let anyone hurt you, even if someone has ill intentions and talks behind your back in front of the Emperor, I will help you handle it."

Zhu Kai was deeply moved by what the Crown Prince Zhu Biao said. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and even had tears in his eyes. It was a rare opportunity for him to feel such affection between brothers. (End of this chapter)
