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

Xu Miaoyun and Guanyin Nu were sitting in the carriage. Although they didn't know what was going on outside, they could hear the sound of soldiers' armor. They ran back and forth to set up control.

Xu Miaoyun also noticed that something might be wrong. He first opened the curtain of the carriage to reveal a small gap, and saw that the outside were full of royal guards wearing armor.

Xu Miaoyun's eyes rolled and she felt something was wrong.

Guanyinnu also saw the situation outside through the gap, and he spoke cautiously.

"Princess, my brother and I just came from the border. We really don't understand the rules here. What are so many Royal Guards doing?"

Guanyinnu's words made Xu Miaoyun at a loss for words. He couldn't say that the emperor was worried about them.

"This is all arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'm afraid we two little girls can't figure out the reason."

"We came from the border, so we must be a little nervous. Seeing such a situation, we can't help but feel a little worried."

Xu Miaoyun was a particularly considerate person. He could certainly sense that Guanyin Nu must be panicking at this moment.

Who wouldn't be nervous when the Royal Guards appeared here in full armor? What if these people wanted to catch them and assassinate them? They wouldn't be able to fight back at all.

"Haven't I already told you? The prince will definitely protect you here. You all came here from the border with the prince.

Moreover, over the past year or so, you have also made a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

Although you were once an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, you have indeed paid tribute to us with many treasures over the past year or so, and you also have a place in front of the emperor.

No one will make things difficult for you. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come out to greet you personally. How could there be any other mistakes?

The prince also didn't want to cause any trouble, and he must have been nervous when he saw so many royal guards in armor.

Not to mention you, even I am a little nervous. I have been in the borderland for so long, and all I have seen are people riding horses and herding sheep. It has been a long time since I have seen people wearing armor."

When Xu Miaoyun saw these imperial guards, he already knew what was going on, but he had to keep calm and not let Guanyin Nu notice that anything was wrong, so as to avoid any further complications.

When Guanyin Nu saw Xu Miaoyun say this, he didn't know what to say and could only lower his head and smile awkwardly.

"Perhaps it was because it was my first time in the capital, and I was too nervous to tell whether these imperial guards were here to protect us or to monitor us."

Xu Miaoyun could only smile awkwardly.

"Of course I'm protecting you. There are so many people in the capital, and you never know when someone might attack you.

If there are more people protecting us here, you will also serve as a deterrent to those who have ulterior motives.

If they saw so many imperial guards, they would probably be trembling with fear from a distance, and would have to give up any ill intentions. "

"Princess, I am not worried now that you said that. Maybe he was frightened by the Ming Dynasty army on the battlefield. He couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw those people in armor."

After hearing this, Xu Miaoyun suddenly felt a little sorry for the foreign woman in front of her.

General Lan Yu and Li Wenzhong each stood behind their own people.

Li Wenzhong stood behind the prince, feeling like a bully. He was usually a proud and arrogant person, and now, relying on the fact that he worked for the prince, he looked down on others and did not take others seriously.

"Your Highness, this place was carefully arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I really don't understand why you are dissatisfied. If you think there is a problem, you can tell me directly and I will send someone to correct it right away."

Li Wenzhong's words made Zhu Kai very angry. He thought to himself that this guy really didn't know his place. How dare he talk to him like that?

Given Zhu Kai's temper, he really wanted to walk up to him and slap him hard in the face to let him know who is the master.

However, Zhu Kaiyue could only think about it in his heart.

He knew that Li Wenzhong was the prince's man. Now Wang Baobao and several of his younger brothers were here. If he really beat Li Wenzhong, what would be the difference between that and slapping the prince in the face in public?
Crown Prince Zhu Biao could also sense Li Wenzhong's impatience.

"Li Wenzhong, how can you speak to the King of Sai like this? I think you are becoming more and more ignorant of your own limitations."

"My subordinate made a mistake."

"Hurry up and apologize to King Sai!"

"Your Majesty, I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me!"

Zhu Kai thought to himself that if he continued to embarrass him at this time, it would seem that he was too narrow-minded. The prince had said so, and it was obvious that he wanted to protect his composure. He could not say anything and could only smile with his lips curled.

"Li Wenzhong, it seems that you are too tired today, which is why you have no patience.

I am not dissatisfied with the surrounding control arrangements and do not need to make any changes. I am just a little curious about the many things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to deal with all day long.

He may not be able to think so thoroughly. Who gave His Royal Highness the idea to arrange so many imperial guards around this small inn?"

When the prince heard what Zhu Kai said, he was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Zhu Kai was such a smart person. He could sense that someone was giving him advice.

"Second brother, I want to ask you whether you have the third eye or not?
Why is it that nothing seems to be hidden from you? Someone must have given me the idea to make such arrangements. I would not be able to take care of all these things if I were alone.

I think their ideas are reasonable. They are all for your safety and they don’t consider that you will feel that they are being monitored.”

"Okay, brother, let me guess who gave you this bad idea."

"I believe you already have the answer."

"Is it Fang Xiaoru or Huang Zicheng?"

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao heard Zhu Kai mention these two people, he was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhu Kai could guess it so easily. There were many people around him, and Zhu Kai could accurately find the person who gave him advice at once.

The prince said nothing, he just smiled helplessly.

"Brother, you asked me to guess. Judging from your expression, I guess I guessed correctly, right? It was one of them who gave you this bad idea?"

"How can it be a bad idea? They also want to do their best to protect Wang Baobao's safety." Zhu Kai said helplessly.

“Brother, sometimes I really don’t understand why you always listen to these two when there are so many people around you?
The two of them were civil servants and had no idea about things like deploying troops.

With so many people arranged here, someone who doesn't know would think there are some serious criminals locked up in this inn who need to be treated like this."

Zhu Kai was not dissatisfied with the personnel arrangement, he just felt that there was no need to mobilize the Imperial Guards.

"Second brother, what you said means that you think there are too many people here and you want to remove some of them?"

Zhu Di thought to himself that his elder brother was really unreasonable. He had already understood what Zhu Kai meant, but his elder brother still didn't understand that the problem was not the number of people, but that the Imperial Guards should not be used for such a small matter.

Wang Baobao watched them arguing from the side, and Zhu Kai thought that it was useless to say too much.

Since the personnel have been arranged like this, they cannot be withdrawn for the time being. Moreover, even if these people are withdrawn tonight, no one will be able to replace them in time, which will give those people an opportunity to take advantage.

Let’s forget about what happened today and pretend it never happened. Tomorrow we’ll find Chang Yuchun and ask the people around him to replace all the Imperial Guards.

Zhu Kai had just returned to the capital this time and he had encountered so many things. He really couldn't imagine how many difficulties would be waiting for him in the future. Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little afraid of him.

Zhu Chong quietly walked to Zhu Kai and spoke in his ear.

"Second brother, Big Brother didn't make this arrangement because he doesn't trust you or doesn't respect you.

You just believed other people's slander. Don't be angry with your brother at this time. It's getting late and we have to hurry back to the palace.

The Emperor Father and the Empress Mother should be waiting for us. If they don’t see us today, they will definitely not go to bed.

You should also return to your residence as soon as possible. If your father really wants to summon you tomorrow morning, you must prepare in advance."

Zhu Di was also winking at Zhu Kai from the side.

It’s just that Zhu Kai has this kind of temper. Once he gets angry, no one can persuade him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu Miaoyun walked in from outside the door.

As soon as Zhu Kai saw Xu Miaoyun's frown, it immediately relaxed.

"Why are you here? You came here by yourself. Where is Guanyinnu?"

"He is waiting in the carriage. We two weak women have been waiting in the carriage for such a long time, but you still haven't given us any news.

I really can't stand it any longer, my legs are numb, I came to see what you have to do that hasn't been arranged yet."

Xu Miaoyun has always had a gentle and warm personality. He spoke these words slowly, which eased the tense and awkward atmosphere.

Of course, he didn't come out to move around because he was too tired and couldn't sit still in the carriage. He knew that Zhu Kai must have encountered some problem, so he came to help Zhu Kai. Only his words of advice could make Zhu Kai calm down.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here. I'm honored to meet you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Hurry up and get up. We are all family. There is no need to be so polite. I know that you two must be very tired in the carriage. The arrangements here are almost done. You can go back soon."

"Just now I was in the carriage and it was inconvenient for me to bow to His Royal Highness. I just came out and saw His Royal Highness. Please forgive me, His Royal Highness."

"Oh, I've already said it before, we are a family, there's no need to be so polite."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and looked up at Zhu Kai.

“When we were outside just now, we saw a lot of royal guards in armor. We two weak women were really scared. We thought there were some thieves around.

Now it seems that the arrangements here are really reasonable and meticulous. Your Highness the Crown Prince has worked so hard. We can only sit back and enjoy the results of all the arrangements.

Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already made all the arrangements, why are you so anxious about these things?
Let's hurry back to our own residence so that His Royal Highness can bring his brothers back to the palace to see our father and mother."

Xu Miaoyun said these words while holding Zhu Kai's hand and winking at the people next to her.

At this time, Zhu Di and General Lan Yu also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Your Highness, since the princess has said so, you should go back and rest early. Let's arrange today's affairs like this. If Your Highness is worried, I will stay here tonight and make other arrangements after dawn tomorrow."

General Lan Yu had been with Zhu Kai for such a long time, and he was already very old. The emperor heard that he had been asked to guard the capital for a night.

I thought I was worried about the Crown Prince, but I just attracted so much suspicion for no reason. Zhu Kai still had to go back to his mansion to prepare a lot of things. He didn't know when the Emperor would summon him, so he thought he shouldn't waste any more time.

So they had no choice but to give each other a way out, he said with a smile.

"General Lan Yu, how can I let you continue to stay here?

During the past year or so in the borderland, you have accompanied me on the battlefield, which has been really exhausting.

You haven't had any rest along the way. Now that you are so old, you should go back and have some rest. Your family must be very happy to know that you are back from the border, and they are anxiously waiting for you to come home.

Now that everything has been arranged, and His Royal Highness has worked hard, let's go back and talk about anything tomorrow morning."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Kai had already given in, so he didn't know what to say, so he quickly spoke to Li Wenzhong.

"Li Wenzhong, you should have heard what the King of Sai said. Today, you will replace General Lan Yu to guard here. If there are any problems, please report to this prince."

Wang Baobao watched today's farce finally come to an end, and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he felt really uncomfortable after seeing these imperial guards.

Zhu Kai had been arguing for him sincerely for such a long time. He saw that Zhu Kai really regarded him as a friend, so it was worth it for him to join the Ming Dynasty.

"Princess, please ask Guanyinnu to come out. His room has been arranged, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has specially arranged two maids to serve him. It won't be inconvenient."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really self-disciplined and has even arranged a special maid to serve Guanyin Nu. Wang Baobao thanks Your Highness the Crown Prince." (End of this chapter)
