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

Xu Miaoyun stood there and sighed for a while before coming back to her senses.

"What are you still standing there for? Come and eat quickly, and then go to bed early. I'm already exhausted."

After hearing Zhu Kai's words, Xu Miaoyun slowly walked to Zhu Kai's side and sat down.

"This table is full of dishes that you like. It can be seen that the Queen really cares about you as her son, but she doesn't seem to consider me as her daughter-in-law. Our tastes are quite different."

Xu Miaoyun said these words with a hint of complaint, but Zhu Kai didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"No wonder people say that the most difficult relationship in the world is that between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I never thought such a problem could happen to you.

The Queen has a lot of things to deal with every day, so don't nitpick over such a small matter. I know there's nothing you like to eat here, so let the servants prepare what you want to eat."

"Your Highness, I am not trying to criticize the Queen. I just feel that even though we are a family, there are still differences in closeness."

When Zhu Kai heard Xu Miaoyun say this, he could feel that he must be missing his relatives too.

He spat out the chicken bone in his mouth, turned around and comforted her.

"I know you miss your parents very much, but the current situation is rather special, so you should not go to your parents' house to see them for the next two days.

The Emperor and some people in the court should also be keeping an eye on us. The Emperor is already keeping a close eye on me. If I don't see the Emperor when I return, I will go see your father Xu Da first.

I'm afraid the emperor won't be happy, and he may even be more suspicious.

Your heart is hard to predict. You should understand this. Please be patient for a few days.

After you meet the emperor, I will let you go home to meet your own father. He didn't go to the city gate to greet us today, probably to avoid suspicion. He has done his best, you must not let him down."

When Xu Miaoyun heard what Zhu Kai said, he did not refute anything. In fact, even if Zhu Kai didn't say it, he understood this truth.

"My Lord, you don't have to worry about so many things for me.

You are busy all day long, with many national affairs to deal with, and you have to be careful when you come back. I'm not complaining about this. Even if you didn't say it, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing to cause you trouble.

Since I have married you, I must consider you and put other things aside. Anyway, as long as my father and mother are healthy and safe, I have nothing to worry about. "

Zhu Kai knew that Xu Miaoyun had endured a lot for him. He could feel how difficult it was for Xu Miaoyun and was glad that he had such a good wife.

After all, he was the one who snatched Xu Miaoyun from Zhu Di. If it weren't for him, Xu Miaoyun would have been Zhu Di's person and would have been Empress Xu in the future.

Zhu Kai sometimes wondered if he had felt a little sorry for Xu Miaoyun.

He himself had no intention of becoming an emperor and only wanted to concentrate on his career and make more money. If Xu Miaoyun followed him, she would miss the chance to become the queen.

However, he could only keep these words in his heart and could not tell anyone as the secret could not be revealed.

If others knew about his identity as a time traveler, it would only cause unnecessary trouble and bring a lot of trouble.

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Kai thoughtfully, thinking that she had said something wrong just now and made him unhappy.

"Your Majesty, I know my attitude just now might be a little problematic, please don't be angry, and I won't say such things again in the future."

Zhu Kai turned around and held Xu Miaoyun's hands with both of his.

“How could I possibly think that?
I know it's not easy for you to stay with me. People have feelings and will get tired.

I can't ask you to obey my orders like a robot.

What's the point of that? I want to marry a wife to find a partner, someone I can talk to, not a robot."

"Who is the robot? Is it a foreign woman?"

When Zhu Kai heard Xu Miaoyun say this, he immediately collapsed.

He spat a mouthful of rice beside him.

"You are really imaginative. You actually think the robot is a foreign woman. Okay, okay, if you think so, that's fine."

"Did I misunderstand again?"

"That's about right. Robots are like tools. No, to be more precise, they are like puppets. They have no thoughts or feelings of their own and only follow the orders of their masters."

"It is indeed a puppet."

"So, what's the point of me finding a puppet as my wife? It's true that robots won't refute anything I say, and they don't have their own emotions, but it's so boring to do this."

Having said that, Xu Miaoyun thought of Guanyin Nu.

"My Lord, there is something I need to tell you."

"What do you remember now?"

“Guanyinnu and his brother Wang Baobao followed us back to the capital this time well prepared. They already knew the emperor’s will and were ready to take the core.

Although they didn't know which prince it was, it was obvious that they were not opposed to this matter.

Perhaps, they wanted to use this marriage to turn the tables, or even gain a place in the Ming Dynasty.

Guanyinnu, a woman, usually listens to her brother Wang Baobao and never talks much, but I always feel that she is not an ordinary woman and seems to have her own ideas.

He may not necessarily listen to his brother's arrangements. Maybe he is a person with his own thoughts and ideas. Who knows what is really going on?
I always feel that his humbleness in front of us is not real, but more like acting."

Zhu Kai smiled and said.

"You are so smart that you can see through the little tricks of these two siblings so quickly.

You are right, they are indeed pretending to be humble in front of us, but it is just an illusion.

He wants us to help him, and the reason he listens to me now is because I am useful and can help them achieve many things.

If one day I am no longer useful, they will stand against me without hesitation, which can be regarded as raising a tiger to cause trouble."

When Xu Miaoyun heard Zhu Kai say this, she immediately asked nervously.

"Your Highness, since you already know their intentions, you must be prepared in advance." "Then there is no need to be so nervous, because there will never be a day when I lose my usefulness. They can only take advantage of me and will not suffer any loss if they stay with me.

We are just in a relationship of interest, and we will not break up as long as there is interest."

Xu Miaoyun didn't expect that Zhu Kai had thought this matter through so thoroughly.

“Your Majesty, you are such a sober person, I thought you would feel uncomfortable after knowing this.

We have been in the border area for such a long time, and we have a pretty good relationship with Wang Baobao and his sister. I never thought they wouldn't treat us sincerely."

"Those who are not my kind must have different hearts. This is an obvious truth. How could I not know it? Life is like a play. It all depends on your acting skills."

"what?"

“Nothing. Wang Baobao was indeed ambitious when he was young, and he was also a strong enemy of our Ming Dynasty. But he is old now, and there is no one around him who can take over.

So, he decided to cooperate with us after balancing the pros and cons. In addition, after so many years of fighting, there are not many people left in their tribe. "

"What about his brother Toghon Timur?"

"This guy? You don't even need to think about him. He is a hopeless person. He is impulsive and his IQ drops at any time.

In fact, he is easier to control than Wang Baobao. For a person like this, if he can be brought over to your side and completely conquered, he can be used as a tool.

If he doesn't listen, it's better to solve the problem early.

It's just to avoid adding unnecessary trouble to himself. Now it seems that he will not act rashly. His brother and sister are in our hands and in the Ming Dynasty.

If he dares to do it, at least there will be a reason for the emperor to exterminate their clan."

Xu Miaoyun knew that when Zhu Kai was with her, he was like a different person. In public, Zhu Kai was very majestic. The prince was the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

"We have been in the border area for such a long time and have come into contact with many people from the Mongol Yuan tribe. Your Majesty, it would be great if you could find a way to protect them, but don't let them be exterminated."

"Do you feel sympathy for them?"

“Wang Baobao is certainly a bit hateful, and he killed many of our Ming Dynasty generals.

But the other people in the Mongol tribe are innocent. If we wipe out their entire tribe, how will Mobei, which is adjacent to the Mongol tribe, view the Ming Dynasty?
I'm afraid they will fight to the death. After all, they will die regardless of fighting or not. If they fight to the death, they still have a chance of survival. If they surrender, their entire clan will be wiped out, and they will resist even more stubbornly."

When Zhu Kai heard Xu Miaoyun's analysis of the current situation, he found it very reasonable. He was also shocked that Xu Miaoyun could have such an idea.

"As expected of you, General Xu Da's daughter, your analysis is so logical that even I admire you a little."

"Your Highness, please stop making fun of me. I learned this from following you. You always say this. I am just a parrot. How can I have any analytical ability?"

"No, no, no, you know what I like most about you? It's that you are very thoughtful, have your own ideas, and analyze such important matters in a very specific way.

However, you can only say this in front of me, but never in front of other people, especially the Emperor and the Empress."

"Your Highness, don't worry. I'm not a fool. I understand that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Besides, I'm just a princess."

Zhu Kai knew very well that even if he didn't remind her, Xu Miaoyun would not say these things in front of outsiders.

"Now that we have come to this point, we have to prepare the gifts in advance."

"Congratulatory gift?"

"Wang Baobao came with his sister, and the emperor is well aware of his purpose this time. Everyone is tacitly aware of it. It won't be long before the emperor grants the marriage.

We have to prepare wedding gifts in advance, which can be regarded as a token of my love as a brother. You have been with me for such a long time, and marriage is a major event in life, so I need to prepare a generous gift. "

"The Emperor has made his decision. Who will marry Guanyin Nu?"

"Zhu Chong."

"Your Highness, we have only met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since we returned to the capital, but not the Emperor. How do you know the Emperor's decision?"

"No need to think about it, it must be him. He is the third oldest and comes after the two of us. It should be his turn according to seniority."

"If that's the case, I feel that Third Brother is quite pitiful."

After Xu Miaoyun finished speaking, Zhu Kai felt a little confused.

"Zhu Chong? You say he is pitiful. Why should I pity him? Guanyin Nu is not an ugly girl. She is so beautiful and smart. She is not worthy of him. Apart from the fact that she is a foreigner, I don't think there is anything wrong with her."

"That's the problem. How can a prince of the Ming Dynasty marry a woman from a foreign race? This is really a bit too outrageous. If father really does this, I'm afraid my third brother will think that father is biased."

Zhu Kai had thought about stopping this matter, but he thought it was the best arrangement for him, and he should do it as soon as possible.

Originally, Zhu Kai wanted to assign Guanyin Slave to Zhu Di.

However, after thinking for a long time, he felt that this was not a good idea. Zhu Di had always been loyal to him and had never had any thoughts or ideas.

The reason why he attempted to usurp the throne in history was entirely because his elder brother was no longer around and he was forced too hard.

Zhu Di was not a bad person, nor was he the kind of person who sought to usurp the throne in the traditional sense. He could not be viewed with ordinary eyes. Zhu Kai couldn't bear to betray his younger brother.

"Your Majesty, I did consider this, but it was a little inconsiderate."

“You are also thinking from a normal perspective. I believe that after the third brother knows about this, he will definitely not be happy.

But there is no way. It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order. Since his father has made up his mind, there is no way he will change his mind. It is better to let him be mentally prepared in advance.

However, along the way, I saw that he and Guanyinnu seemed to be quite attracted to each other. They were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

Father treats us sons in a normal way, except for the eldest brother. If he thinks he has treated his son unfairly in one matter, he will find a way to make up for it in the future. There is gain and loss, that's the truth."

"Zhu Chong is a very stubborn person. I'm afraid he may not be able to figure this out. If he makes any trouble, father may blame you."

"Why do you blame me? I have to take the blame even though I'm so far away?"

"After all, he has been with you for more than a year. In the border area, he will be more or less influenced by you. Father always says that you are a naughty boy. I am afraid he will say that you have led the third, fourth and fifth brothers astray." (End of this chapter)
