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

Zhu Di heard Zhu Chong's words of disdain for foreign women, but he didn't think too much about it.

He knew that the other person was a spoiled person, and he always spoke without restraint. Most importantly, he never cared about himself or his mother, Concubine Yi.

The son born to Queen Ma is naturally superior to others.

Zhu Di had long been accustomed to it. As long as Zhu Kai treated him well and the Crown Prince treated him well, that was enough.

He didn't want to haggle with his two brothers about the rest of the matters. Anyway, he would never be able to become the crown prince, let alone the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked back at Zhu Di and asked.

"Don't take your third brother's words to heart. He has always been straightforward. He didn't say anything bad about foreign women. Don't take it to heart."

When Zhu Chong heard what the Crown Prince said, he finally realized that he had insulted both Zhu Di and his son.

Zhu Gang suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, big brother, my second brother once told us what we should say if our father were to test us."

"Your Majesty hasn't tested you yet, has he? He doesn't have that much time. The end of the year is almost here, and there are many important matters to deal with in the court.

In addition, with His Royal Highness Prince Qin's marriage, Father must be very busy and will not ask you about this for the time being."

Zhu Chong said angrily from the side.

"Even if Father wanted to test us, I wouldn't dare say the words my second brother taught us to say."

"Why is this?"

"Through this incident, I have completely seen clearly that my second brother is not sincerely considering me. We are biological brothers with the same father and mother, and he actually hid something from me.

In fact, if he had explained it to me earlier at the border, so that I could be mentally prepared, I wouldn’t be as angry as I am now.”

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao heard this, he was somewhat confused.

"Zhu Chong, why do you insist that Zhu Kai knew everything about Wang Baobao and his sister?

This is the decision made by my father. Even I only learned about it after seeing the imperial edict.

You all say that the emperor favors me the most, but I didn't know anything about this. I also asked the emperor which of you two he would choose to marry into the Mongol tribe, but he didn't answer me. "

When Zhu Gang heard what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, he was stunned.

"What? Father is choosing between the two of us? My God, if that's the case, I have dodged a bullet."

Zhu Gang was just congratulating himself on having avoided this incident when he turned around and saw his third brother's cold eyes.

"Hey, Third Brother, please don't misunderstand me. I just said that maybe it's because I'm young, so it's your turn based on seniority."

"You guys should stop gloating here. Anyway, I have completely seen through my second brother's thoughts this time, and I will never stay with him again.

I have been with my second brother for so long, and he always treats us like fools. As his younger brother, I have done my best. From now on, no matter where he goes to the border or anywhere else, I can't follow him."

When Zhu Gang heard this, he covered his mouth and smiled.

"Third brother, now that you are a true vassal king with your own title, what reason do you have to stay with second brother? I believe that after the New Year you should have your own territory, and then you will have to go to your own place to be a vassal."

Zhu Chong was so busy getting angry that he forgot such an important matter.

"Yes, now that I have become His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, that means I will also have my own territory. I will be like my second brother and will never have the chance to return to the capital.

In fact, this is a bit of a pity for me, and I’m quite reluctant to do it.

I am not happy that I can't go back to the palace to see my father and mother often, but there is one good thing, which is that after this incident, I can be freer now."

When Zhu Di heard this, he was really envious of his brother.

Now they can have their own territory and hold their heads up high. They can do whatever they want in their own territory without having to please others or rely on others.

He now hopes that he can reach old age quickly so that he can leave the palace and start his own business.

"Third brother, congratulations, you have finally made it."

"I have made it through, but you will have to stay with my second brother in the future. Now I have some understanding of his temper. I advise you to be careful. My second brother is a bit moody."

"My second brother is not that kind of person. In fact, he has always been thinking about us wholeheartedly, but there are some things that he really didn't expect.

And I remember that my second brother had already told you about this before returning to the palace.

If Father asks us what we have been doing in the border area for more than a year, how should we answer? My second brother seems to have said something about establishing a community school in the world."

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at Zhu Di and asked.

"Did Zhu Kai mention this matter? I don't have any impression of it at all."

"Brother, this is what my second brother told us before we returned to the capital. He told us this at the border. He said that our father must be very interested in this matter.

If Father asks us what we have done in the past year or so, we can tell him this, and this is his next plan."

"What's your next plan?"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was a little confused at this moment. He knew that Zhu Kai once told him that his greatest wish was to make a lot of money and then use the money to build the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Crown Prince Zhu Biao also vaguely remembered that Zhu Kai had a great ideal of revenge when he was very young.

He never said that he wanted to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or fight for power. He just wanted ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty to live a good life.

In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not take Zhu Kai’s words to heart.

After all, when he heard these things, Zhu Kai was still very young. It was very surprising that he could say such things at such a young age.

"Tianxia Lishexue? What on earth is this? I haven't heard Zhu Kai mention it either. It seems that as a brother, I should understand your thoughts, so that I won't be like a fool who knows nothing."

Zhu Di looked at Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and at this moment he remembered something.

He hoped that he could stay away from the disputes in the court as much as possible, and hoped that he could get the permission of the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to stay in the imperial palace in the capital.

During this period of time, I cannot meet my mother often, and it is really meaningless to stay in the palace now. It is better to go out and hone my abilities in the capital.

By the way, learn about the relevant matters of the Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

However, Zhu Di did not dare to mention these things in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would think too much and believe that he had ulterior motives.

Zhu Gang's character is relatively honest. Seeing that the room was in a mess with all kinds of things smashed all over the floor, he quickly said something.

"Brother, Third Brother was just angry and lost his temper, smashing all this stuff into a mess.

I'll get someone to clean it up now. Don't wait until Father and Mother see anything wrong. Clean it up before they come back."

"Zhu Gang, you are more considerate. As your brother, I feel more at ease when you are around. Although you are not very old, you are still very thoughtful in all aspects."

"Brother, this is what I should do. I have been thinking about what my second brother told us. He said that if the emperor asks, he will let us answer this matter.

Even though we don't quite understand what he meant, it's still good to be able to perform well in front of our father.

I am not a son that the emperor values. If there is an opportunity to perform well, I will seize it. But I am a little worried about my second brother. The emperor has not thought of summoning him so far."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao smiled when he heard this.

“You don’t have to worry about Zhu Kai, he knows what’s going on.

The emperor should summon him soon. The reason why there has been no movement until now is that he wants him to have a good rest.

After all, it took more than a year to come back from such a long distance.

Your father has seen all your hard work, but you should also understand that he has always been a poor speaker, and he is rather stingy with his compliments to his sons."

"Big brother has heard all the compliments from the emperor.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the son that our father values ​​the most. This is something that none of our families can compare to. I think the person who feels the most unbalanced should be my second brother.

He and my eldest brother are twin brothers, but the degree to which they are valued by our father is worlds apart. I am afraid that someone in the court will take advantage of your relationship to sow discord between you two."

“It’s not that he was trying to sow discord, but there are indeed rumors going around in the court.

Since Zhu Kai came back, there has been no peace these past two days. Many people want to know what the emperor is thinking. I wonder if Zhu Kai still needs to return to the border after the New Year. It all depends on the emperor's arrangement."

"My second brother is already the King of the Frontier. The border is his fiefdom. If my second brother doesn't go back, where else can he go? Could it be that the emperor wants to find him a new place?"

"I don't know about that. We can't guess what the emperor is thinking. It's better not to ask too much."

While Crown Prince Zhu Biao was telling them about this matter, he recalled that today when he was in court, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard suddenly disappeared.

"By the way, did you see Mao Xiang today?"

"Mao Xiang? We've only seen him once since we returned to the capital.

It was yesterday that he went outside the city to greet us in person. On the way, he and my second brother had some minor conflicts, but they have been resolved now. Since returning to the palace yesterday, we have never seen this person again.

What's wrong? Why did Big Brother suddenly ask about him? "

"Today, when we were in court, we found that he suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from under our noses."

"The Jinyiwei have always come and gone without a trace.

Brother, don’t worry about it. Maybe our father has assigned him a secret mission. Wang Baobao and his sister have just arrived in the capital, and now we need many people to keep an eye on them.

I guess the emperor must have arranged for him to do this. Didn't my eldest brother just say that the emperor has arranged all this, so we don't need to worry about it.

Besides, it is not our turn to take care of the affairs of the Imperial Guard. My brother is the Crown Prince, so of course he can take care of them.

There are only a few of us, so it's useless to say anything in front of him. He has never taken us princes seriously. Even if my second brother was here today, his attitude would be the same.

I think my father is a little too pampering to them. The power of the Imperial Guard should not be too great, otherwise it will affect the stability of the court.

Those old people who followed the father to conquer the world do not have such rights for the time being.

It is not reasonable for him, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, to be able to cover the sky with one hand. I believe many people in the court have complained about this matter. "

Zhu Chong didn't care about so many things. At least he thought it was okay to tell the truth in front of his brother.

"Mao Xiang? What kind of conflict could there be between him and Zhu Kai? Didn't Zhu Kai reward him with so much gold today? Zhu Kai's temper has always been unyielding.

Mao Xiang has always been a favorite of the emperor, so it is normal for them to have conflicts. "

"Brother, you are absolutely right. Your prediction is absolutely correct. It is indeed the case. The conflict between the two of them stems from this. Fortunately, my second brother was generous and gave him so much gold, which can be regarded as shutting him up."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao shook his head helplessly and smiled.

"Zhu Kai has this kind of personality. He has always been generous and the people around him are full of praise for him. Anyone who works with Zhu Kai praises this quality of his."

"Yes, my second brother has told us more than once that if you take money from others to help them get rid of disasters, only when the money is spent properly, others will be willing to work for you in a down-to-earth manner."

"We are the princes of the Ming Dynasty. Do we need to spend money to win them over?"

Zhu Chong has a more straightforward personality. He doesn't care about so many things. As long as he feels there is no problem, it's fine. Moreover, he has always had his eyes on the top of his head, so he can't see anyone who is of lower status than himself.

"Third brother, you really should change your arrogant and domineering personality. Second brother has said this to you many times before. Why are you still like this?" (End of this chapter)
