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

The other side is above the court.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just returned, Zhu Yuanzhang asked hurriedly.

"Prince, you just arranged for someone to replace Li Wenzhong, why did it take so long to come back?"

"Reporting to His Majesty, I am a little worried, so I gave a few more instructions. Wang Baobao just came to the capital with his sister, and I am afraid that something might go wrong."

"Nothing will go wrong. If you don't trust Li Wenzhong, you should trust Chang Sheng. After all, he is General Chang Yuchun's eldest son."

Chang Yuchun shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the Crown Prince had already promised Zhu Kai, so they had to do this.

Li Jinglong was somewhat unhappy at this time. He was still an unknown person at this moment. His father Li Wenzhong was doing things in front of the prince, and he had no qualifications to participate.

I could only stand in a corner of the court and listen to them talking, and I couldn't say what I was thinking.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da.

"Xu Da, I think you, an old man, have not seen your daughter yet. You are not dissatisfied, right?"

"Your Majesty, this is wrong. Xu Miaoyun is not only my daughter now, she is also the Princess of Sai.

A married woman should obey her husband, and our whole family has to obey the emperor's arrangements. We didn't dare to ask when the emperor wanted our parents to meet.

What's more, we have important things to discuss now, and there is no rush for these things. Sooner or later, we will meet as father and daughter."

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong sneered and said.

"Lord Xu Da, if you say this, it seems like you still have some complaints."

Xu Da said seriously.

"Hu Weiyong, Prime Minister, please don't spit blood at me. I have never said this before. Did you find any loopholes in what I said just now?"

At this time, Liu Bowen saw that there was no point in their arguing and quickly reminded them.

“Your Majesty, General Chang Sheng has taken his men to replace Li Wenzhong. Although it is indeed inappropriate for the Imperial Guards to guard the capital, at least we have changed our strategy.

But it is not appropriate for Wang Baobao and his sister to stay in the capital for too long. I think it would be better for the emperor to find a time to learn from Wang Baobao and discuss what arrangements to make for him in the future."

"Yeah, I thought so too. I called you all here today just to talk about this matter."

"From what the Emperor said, it seems that arrangements have already been made?"

"Zhu Kai has subdued Wang Baobao in the border area over the past year. He has also been exchanging letters with me and reporting any situation as soon as possible.

This time Wang Baobao brought his sister to the capital, and his purpose was very obvious, of course, he wanted to form a good relationship with Qin and Jin. "

When Liu Bowen heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then continued.

"Your Majesty, I think we should just forget about this matter.

After all, Wang Baobao's sister is also a foreign woman. It is a bit unrealistic for them to want to form a friendly relationship with our Ming Dynasty. Isn't this just flattering them? It would be fine if we just give them some rewards."

Hu Weiyong smiled and said after hearing this.

"Master Liu Bowen, your statement is really too narrow-minded.

Wang Baobao and his sister came from afar. Regardless of what kind of reward they would give, his purpose was already very clear.

The emperor has so many sons, just picking one of them and letting his sister marry him would also give their entire tribe peace of mind, this is the best way to deal with it."

"The emperor only has five sons now. Which prince do you want to do this?"

"It's not our turn to discuss this. This is the emperor's own family matter and he should make the decision.

It is not convenient for us to participate too much, and I believe that the emperor has already made up his mind, otherwise he would not have called us all here."

Li Shanchang saw the two of them arguing nearby. Usually, their opinions were opposite. He himself was a moderate and never favored anyone.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao said at this time.

"The two of you should stop arguing. This matter has something to do with Zhu Kai. He worked hard to bring Wang Baobao and his sister to the capital, so we should at least treat them warmly.

We can't just leave them alone in the inn all the time, that's not a good idea, and it also takes up our own energy to protect them."

"Your Majesty, what do you think? What should we do about this matter? We are all arguing over it and there is still no definite answer."

Zhu Yuanzhang certainly has his own thoughts in his mind, and he has a lot of things to deal with now.

I had originally planned to meet with Jinyiwei's chief commander Mao Xiang in the morning.

He was asked to investigate the matter of someone secretly leaking the information for him first. Before he could be summoned, these people rushed to the court.

Mao Xiang said nothing below.

How could Hu Weiyong let him stay out of trouble? He asked directly from the side.

"Lord Mao Xiang, you are going to greet His Royal Highness Zhu Kai and Wang Baobao on behalf of the Crown Prince. You are the first one to see Wang Baobao and his sister along the way. What do you think of them? Are there any signs of ill intentions?"

"Mr. Prime Minister, you are putting me in a difficult position by saying this.

How could I see so many problems in the details? You can't know a person's heart by looking at his face, so I can't give a definite answer to this question.

But I believe in the ability of His Highness Zhu Kai. Since he has already said that Wang Baobao is reliable, we should believe him. It is impossible that the prince did not notice any signs over there in more than a year.

If this guy was really unreliable, the prince would not have brought her back to the capital.

Moreover, Wang Baobao's sister Guanyinnu has been sitting in the carriage with the princess. There is a difference between men and women. I have not seen what Wang Baobao's sister looks like, but I have heard that she is the most beautiful woman on the grassland. "

"The most beautiful woman on the grassland?"

"I've only heard of her. I've heard of her name for a long time but I've never seen her in person. We have to meet her in person to find out what kind of beauty she is."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said.

"I am not one who judges people by their appearance. It doesn't matter whether she is the most beautiful woman in the grassland. What matters is whether she has such virtue." Wang Baobao was very grateful in his heart as he watched Zhu Kai reward the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict on his behalf.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for giving the reward on our behalf. We came here from the border tribe and are still a little unclear about the rules here. If it weren't for Your Highness's guidance, I don't know how many jokes we would have made."

"Don't be so polite, I've already told you.

Since I brought you here from the border, I will be responsible for everything. And I know very well that in the recent period of time, there must be someone in the court who wants to take advantage of your arrival here to cause trouble.

I don’t have a very good relationship with people in the court. If it weren’t for my elder brother protecting me, I would have offended countless people without even realizing it.”

Guanyin Nu kept his head down at this time.

In fact, since receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell.

Although it was basically guessed which son Zhu Yuanzhang would marry him to, the fact that the imperial edict had not yet come down made it uncertain.

"Guanyin slave, the emperor's decree has come down, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

"Your Highness, I am just a woman. As long as my marriage can bring some benefits to the people of our tribe, I will not ask for anything else. My life will be worth it."

"In fact, I have told Xu Miaoyun many times that even though you as women cannot be compared with men in the minds of many people, in my heart, men and women are equal."

When Guanyin Nu heard Zhu Kai say this in person, he still felt a little surprised and unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, you are the most reasonable person I have ever met. You are also the person who respects women the most. I don't know when these thoughts started, but since I came into contact with you, I understand that women also have their own choices."

"Of course. I've told you more than once that I once dreamed of a place where men and women are equal. Women can be officials and do business, and they can do better than some men."

"A place like this should only exist in dreams."

"You don't have to say that. In fact, I have been working hard to do this."

"what?"

Zhu Kai said this suddenly. Wang Baobao and Guanyin Nu couldn't believe that these words came out of his mouth.

"I have heard that the emperor respects Empress Ma very much. It seems that the prince must have been influenced by them to say such things."

“That’s not necessarily the case. If I tell you too much now, you won’t understand.

I can only tell you one thing from the bottom of my heart, that is, never underestimate yourself. Whether you are a man or a woman, you can also achieve success. "

"Then I'll borrow your good words, Your Majesty."

"Guanyinnu, I really admire your time in the borderland over the past year. I have witnessed your growth and talent for business. I was thinking of giving you part of the business."

"In fact, I also hope that there will be such a day, but now it is too late. I will soon marry the third prince."

Zhu Kai could tell that when Guanyin Nu said these words, he felt very reluctant.

"I can see that you still regret not having achieved something in your career.

If you lived in the era of my dream, maybe you could really become an outstanding strong woman. "

"Strong woman?"

Guanyin Nu certainly didn't understand this word. The dream that Zhu Kai was talking about was just the life he lived before he traveled through time and space here.

"Yeah, I look at you like a strong woman."

“What is a strong woman?”

"It's just like what I said just now. Women can become generals and ministers, can lead troops to fight, and can do business and make money."

"The dream that the prince described is really desirable."

When Wang Baobao heard this, he immediately turned around and scolded Guanyin Nu.

"Don't believe everything you hear. What the prince said is just a dream. It may not exist in reality. If you marry an ordinary person, or a man from our Mongolian Yuan tribe.

You can do what you want, but you are going to marry the son of the current emperor, Qin Wang Zhu Chong. The royal family has so many rules, how can they let you show up in public and do these things? You'd better keep quiet.

After you get married, it will be inconvenient for me, your brother, to continue to manage you. You should be more careful. The royal family has many more rules than our tribe. "

"Wang Baobao, don't say so many words to scare Guanyinnu. In fact, I know very well that you have had some contact with Zhu Chong in the past year or so.

In fact, he is not a useless person. As long as people have feelings, more than a year is enough for you to get to know each other.

Although you may not fall in love with each other over time, at least it is much better than asking you to marry a complete stranger.

In this era of blind marriages, it is not easy for you to choose a man you are familiar with. "

"I choose by myself? Your Majesty, you are kidding me. How can I have any chance to choose?"

"It was my mistake."

Guanyinnu lowered his eyes and looked at Zhu Kai pitifully.

“Oh my, I say you girls are really born to be lovable.

Please don't look at me like that. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I will never refuse to help you in any way I can.

Although I am Zhu Chong's brother and the son of the current emperor, I have known you and your sister for such a long time. I regard you as good friends and will speak frankly to you."

"Your Highness, although we have been mentally prepared for this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin may not think so much. If he knew the news, he would definitely make a scene."

Zhu Kai knew very well that Zhu Chong was an arrogant and domineering person. Even though he had trained him for more than a year and made him change, his nature was still hard to change.

"I know you still have some concerns about him. He will definitely be unhappy if he knows about this. You should also understand that no matter how good the Mongolian Yuan tribe is, it is still a foreign race after all.

The Emperor arranged the marriage between the two of you, which basically ruined his future. How could he not be angry and hate him?" (End of this chapter)
