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

Chapter 246 Li Wenzhong, a man who just wants to lie down

Chang Sheng hurried forward to care for Zhu Kai, fearing that he might be in danger. After all, he was Zhu Yuanzhang's son and a prince of the Ming Dynasty.

"These people are really blind. They didn't even see the prince. The prince who is still running around here is really frightened."

"It doesn't matter if I get scared. The important thing is not to scare the horse. If the horse gets scared, it will run around in the street and bump into someone."

"Your Majesty, you really care about the people. Even at this time, you are still thinking about the ordinary people in the market."

“If I fall off my horse or feel unwell, I can go directly to the Imperial Hospital where a bunch of people will serve me.

What about these common people? If they sprain their ankle or get injured somewhere, they probably won’t be able to afford the medical expenses for treatment. Some of them may even be the head of a family, and the whole family depends on them for food.

Come here! Hurry and check for me who is the one who was so presumptuous just now.

How dare you ride a horse so fast in a busy city? Are you trying to kill yourself?
If you find out, bring them back to me immediately. I never thought I would have to deal with such a thing right after returning to the capital. What a headache!"

Zhu Kai said this angrily while ordering his men to check it out quickly.

The people around him knew Zhu Kai's temper and this time he was really angry, so they didn't dare to delay and immediately ran over to investigate.

"He has offended me, so he is like a steel plate. Let me show you how I will deal with him. Is there such a domineering person in the capital?"

Chang Sheng immediately figured out who this group of people were by the clothes they were wearing.

He didn't speak either.

As soon as Zhu Kai saw his expression, he understood. He must have found out who the rider was but was hiding it on purpose.

"Chang Sheng, your family is well-known in Beijing. People may recognize you when you walk on the street. How come this guy dared to charge forward just now? How come you didn't even dare to fart?"

Chang Sheng sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I think we should just forget it. Less trouble is worse than more.

We have more important things to deal with, just treat it as a group of people who are blind and rushed into us. Please forgive the small mistakes and don't bother with this mob."

"Chang Sheng, I think you are getting more and more ignorant of the seriousness of the situation. It's obvious from your appearance that you know who these people are. Why are you still protecting them?"

Faced with Zhu Kai's questioning, Chang Sheng really didn't know what to say.

"Your Highness, there are so many people on the street now. If you get angry here, it will easily scare ordinary people. Why don't we go to the inn first? After the handover, I will slowly tell you about this matter. Your Highness, don't be angry yet."

Zhu Kai looked at the people around him. They were all frightened by the group of guys rushing around just now.

If he continued to stand on the street and get angry, it would easily scare ordinary people. After all, their identities and status are already extraordinary. If he scared ordinary people, his reputation would be even worse.

When the news reached the palace and Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he seemed to be a very unreasonable person.

Originally, he was in the right in today's matter. If things got out of hand, he would go from being right to being unreasonable. Thinking of this, Zhu Kai let it go, listened to the other party's advice, and got back on his horse.

Chang Sheng knew very well what kind of temper the Crown Prince's younger brother had. Although he was usually kind-hearted and polite to people around him, he would become aggressive when he met a tough person.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Kai finally listened to his advice and got back on the horse.

"Let's go to the inn first. I'm really angry now and have nowhere to vent it."

In this way, several people came directly to the inn from the road.

Li Wenzhong, at this moment, had already led the Imperial Guards to surround the front of the inn and guard it tightly. Not only people, but even a fly could not fly past.

When Zhu Kai saw how big a fuss he made, he was so angry that he almost burst into tears.

"See? This is just a stupid guy. What can he do if you give him a task? With so many imperial guards here, making a big show of it, is Wang Baobao a guest from afar or a prisoner?"

Chang Sheng found this arrangement too unreasonable. He was just impressed by how smart Zhu Kai and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were. They should replace this stupid guy as soon as possible so that everything could be quieted down.

What he knew even more was Zhu Kai, who was already full of anger. If he took it out on Li Wenzhong, it would be disastrous for him. Even if he was stupid, he was still a general, and so many people were watching him, so he had to give him some face.

"Your Majesty, Li Wenzhong is just like that."

"What kind of personality? Don't bring up his personality in everything. I think he is just stupid. This guy is so stupid that he is beyond belief."

Li Wenzhong thought that nothing he did was discovered by anyone, and others didn't know that he slept in the inn all night. Now he was standing at the door of the inn guarding it, looking very serious.

Seeing Zhu Kai and Chang Sheng coming together from a distance, he felt somewhat confused and spoke to himself.

"Why are the two of them here together? Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Although he had doubts in his heart, he had to rush forward to greet him.

"Li Wenzhong has met the King of Sai."

"Hurry up and get up. There are so many people coming and going on the street. I am wearing ordinary clothes. Don't make such a big scene."

Li Wenzhong could also see that Zhu Kai seemed unhappy. Even if he was stupid, he knew how to read people's faces.

"Chang Sheng, why did you come here by yourself? Why didn't His Royal Highness come with you?"

"The morning court has not yet ended, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally stay with the Emperor to discuss state affairs. How about leaving this matter to me? Nothing special happened last night, right? Where are Wang Baobao and his sister?"

"Oh, why don't you believe me?

What could possibly happen with me here? All the royal guards are stationed here, nothing can get out. What could possibly happen?
Not even a fly or mosquito was seen, and Wang Baobao and his sister were waiting upstairs safely.

Didn't His Highness Zhu Kai tell them yesterday not to go to the market casually? They stayed in the house, and even though it was busy outside, they didn't dare to come out. They could only watch from afar through the window.

I was thinking about it in my heart. They had never seen such a lively market before, so they were naturally curious. This was understandable."

After listening to what Li Wenzhong said, Zhu Kai calmed down and then spoke.

"General Li Wenzhong, it seems that you have done your best in the arrangements made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. There has been no trouble this evening, and I think you have worked hard.

Today, General Chang Sheng came to replace you under the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

You can go to the side and take over with him now. Take all the imperial guards back and let General Chang Sheng guard this place. You can take your people back now."

Li Wenzhong was stunned when he heard Zhu Kai say this. "Your Majesty, you are not kidding me.

How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's arrangements for me change so easily?
I didn't do anything wrong. Could it be that I did something wrong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not satisfied?

If he was not satisfied with something, he could have told me to correct it, but now he has replaced me. What does that mean?"

Chang Sheng usually looked down on Li Wenzhong and thought he was a frivolous person who did not have the spirit of a great general, especially for a descendant of a famous family like him.

His father Chang Yuchun also held a very high position in the court and in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, so naturally he looked down on people like Li Wenzhong.

"General Li Wenzhong, military orders are as heavy as a mountain and this is not something to be taken lightly. If you have any questions, you can go back and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now just hand over to me and hurry up to lead the Imperial Guards away from here."

"You two said we were here to exchange and asked me to leave immediately. Should I listen to you? I am a subordinate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I am sorry, King Sai, I can only follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's orders."

Zhu Kai felt that this guy was not only ambitious but also a little stupid. He was not surprised that he could say such words.

However, this was really too disrespectful to himself. As a prince, could he not mobilize a small general like Li Wenzhong?

Chang Sheng saw that he was resisting with all his might and did not immediately take out the Crown Prince's token.

Zhu Kai sneered and said.

"Li Wenzhong, I don't know when I offended you. Since you came back yesterday, you have been dissatisfied with many things. Do I have to report to you in advance before I do anything with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

What is the relationship between General Chang Sheng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? You should know it well.

I feel really stupid for you to say these words, and I'm a little speechless.

With your IQ, you should pack up and go home to rest. Don't embarrass yourself in public. Wang Baobao and his sister are upstairs, and they will see you like this.

I thought that there was no capable general in our Ming Dynasty to send you here.

I thought we had no great generals in Shu, and Liao Hua was the vanguard. That's not right. With your abilities, even Liao Hua can't match them."

Zhu Kai's humiliation made Li Wenzhong sweat profusely.

"Your Majesty...I..."

Zhu Kai also realized that what he said was a bit too extreme.

Li Wenzhong was, after all, someone close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He really did not give the other party any face by scolding him in front of so many soldiers.

Men all love to save face. If you don't give him face, he will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge on you one day.

Zhu Kai has always disliked offending people. He prefers the doctrine of the mean in dealing with people and things.

Chang Sheng watched Zhu Kai scolding Li Wenzhong from the side, and he felt secretly happy in his heart.

He also didn't want Li Wenzhong and Zhu Kai to have a good relationship. He hoped that Li Wenzhong would be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with all his heart. Now that Zhu Kai had offended him completely, it was definitely not a good thing. This would allow him to rely more closely on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhu Kaiyue immediately understood the other party's thoughts. He was thinking about Chang Yuchun's family and was truly assisting the prince with all his heart.

He is not someone who can be used as a tool.

After thinking for a long time, he immediately controlled his emotions. Zhu Kai was a person who was very good at controlling his emotions. He was able to calm himself down and not lose his temper under very special circumstances.

"Li Wenzhong, what I just said is indeed a bit serious. You have been guarding here for a whole night. Go back and rest quickly. Don't be too tired. The emperor said that there are other things to arrange for you.

Chang Sheng, why didn't His Royal Highness show the token to General Li Wenzhong? This caused such a big misunderstanding just now."

"Token? What token?"

"You will understand everything if you look at His Royal Highness's token."

Chang Sheng had seen enough of the fun, so he took out the Crown Prince's token from his bosom and showed it to Li Wenzhong.

"Li Wenzhong, listen to my orders!"

When he saw the Crown Prince's token and heard these words, he immediately knelt down without saying a word.

"Your subordinate Li Wenzhong will obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered General Li Wenzhong to complete the handover with me and withdraw all the imperial guards. This place will officially be taken over by our Chang Family Army."

After seeing the token of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he knew that he could no longer resist.

It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also did not trust him at all. He suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Fortunately, no one noticed that he went back home secretly to sleep last night. The only person he met was Wang Baobao. If this matter were to get out, it would be Wang Baobao who was behind it.

He thought that it would be better to escape from this troubled place as soon as possible.

Zhu Kai had offended too many people in the court. If someone used Wang Baobao to deal with Zhu Kai, then he would be held responsible too much.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved. What if he was not worthy of the Crown Prince's trust? Living a stable life was the most important thing.

Besides, he himself doesn't have any great talent? Even if he wants to make progress, there is nothing he can do. It is better for him to stay with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and cling to a big tree.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor one day, he will be considered to have achieved great success.

By then, there will be a hereditary title.

He wouldn't have to work so hard anymore. He was the kind of person Zhu Kai said, who just wanted to lie down and didn't want to struggle. He didn't have any grand ambitions and just lived one day at a time.

The moment he lowered his head, he thought a lot in his mind.

"Li Wenzhong, did you hear the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Chang Sheng's words brought him back to his senses quickly.

"Oh, I heard it. I heard the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In that case, I can only withdraw with these imperial guards." (End of this chapter)
