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

“Life in the border areas is indeed tough, but my hard work over the past year has not been in vain.

My father and mother really recognize my contributions, which is a very fulfilling thing for me. I also understand that this problem is still difficult for me to accept.

Sometimes, even I can accept the hardships of living in the border areas, but I am afraid that Xu Miaoyun may not be able to accept it.

He is the apple of General Xu's eye. He has never been at peace since he followed me, always running around. He grew up in the capital and is used to a life of luxury.

However, he is now able to stand on his own when he is with me, and can be regarded as a true good wife. I think he looks like my mother when she was young."

When Zhu Biao heard Zhu Kai say this, he could also feel Zhu Kai's approval and appreciation for Xu Miaoyun.

"Hearing you say that, I can finally rest assured.

It seems that the princess you chose yourself is indeed the one that suits your taste the most. In fact, it is understandable that the third brother feels uncomfortable and unhappy.

Each of us has the right to make our own choices, but he didn't make the same arrangement as father. It was indeed a bit biased. I never thought that father treated us brothers equally.

Even I feel that my father is indeed a little partial to me, the eldest brother.

That’s why I feel a lot of guilt.

I feel sorry for all of you brothers. Each of you is younger than me, but you have not received the attention and love of our father. I also want to use my abilities to try to make up for the loss in your hearts. "

Zhu Biao was truly a good person. In modern terms, he should be considered a people-pleasing person.

Zhu Kai felt very sad when he saw that his elder brother was so good and would pass away in a dozen years. He was unwilling to face such a reality.

On the one hand, Zhu Kai knew in his heart that the general direction of history could not be changed.

The death of Crown Prince Zhu Biao was bound to happen, otherwise there would be no Zhu Yunwen, let alone Zhu Di, and all subsequent history would have been tampered with.

However, he still couldn't stand idly by.

Zhu Kai even felt that traveling here was a very painful thing. He knew the ending of everyone, but he didn't know his own ending.

Watching people around you leave one by one is cruel to yourself.

Even though he is the protagonist of a cool novel with a golden finger, emotional problems can never be solved by just having fun.

He watched with his own eyes the people close to him, step by step, leaving him, how could he not feel good? When Zhu Kai thought of this, his nose became a little sour and his eyes became a little moist.

When Zhu Biao saw Zhu Kai so sad, he thought he was thinking of something sad.

He immediately walked up and hugged Zhu Kai.

"Second brother, now that I have my elder brother here, I won't let you suffer anymore.

After the New Year, father will definitely help you choose a new fiefdom. Tell your eldest brother where you want to go and I will personally talk to father and let him make the arrangements.

Don't say it from your mouth. If I say it, my father will most likely accept it. I don't want you to suffer. I want to choose a rich and stable place with you."

When Zhu Kai heard what the prince said, he was of course very moved.

Not everyone would dare to promise this. The fact that the prince dared to say it in front of him, and with Zhu Di beside him, showed that the prince really regarded him as a brother better than his own brothers.

"Brother, even though you are the crown prince now, our father is still alive, so you are not qualified to help us choose our fiefdom.

Now there are only three of us brothers here, so you can just say it in front of us. Fortunately, no one else heard it. If the counselors around you heard it, they would definitely be unhappy. "

Zhu Biao disagreed and just smiled.

"You two are my biological brothers. Do you have to be secretive when talking to your brothers?

That would be so boring. No matter whether the counselors around me agree or not, as the eldest brother, I have already decided to do this. You should not go back to the border area. It is too depressing there.

What do you think of going to Jiangnan? Jiangnan is a land of plenty.

Moreover, the scenery there is beautiful. I heard that the people live and work in peace and contentment, with fine clothes and delicious food. It is a very good place.

Zhu Kai, you will be safe there, and you like doing business, so there are many people doing business in Jiangnan.

You can go there and interact with them more, which is much better than living with cattle and horses in the borderland."

"Brother, you really helped me choose a good place, but this good place is not suitable for someone like me who loves to make trouble."

"What do you mean? Do you still want to return to the Mongol tribe?"

Zhu Kai thought to himself that he didn't need to go back to the place where he grazed cattle and horses for the time being. After all, Wang Baobao had been subdued by him. With Wang Baobao around, he could go and hold Chagatai in Mobei hostage.

"The Mongolian tribe is relatively stable for the time being. I have thought of a new place, but up to now, I am not sure whether to go there or not. There will be a very powerful enemy of our Ming Dynasty.

I must defeat all these enemies during the Ming Dynasty, lest they invade our land again hundreds of years later."

Zhu Kai gritted his teeth as he spoke, while Zhu Di and Zhu Biao beside him were stunned.

"Who do you think will invade our land in a few hundred years?"

"Uh...brother, maybe you heard it wrongly, I just said it casually.

I really don't want to go back to the border area. You're right. I should think of a better place. Even if not for myself, I have to consider Jiangnan for Xu Miaoyun. "

"Look, it's my eldest brother who's more thoughtful. If that's the case, then don't keep shirking your responsibilities and follow what my eldest brother says.

Tomorrow? Or after a few days, when the Emperor helps His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin choose his fiefdom, I will tell him about your situation. I believe that the Emperor will not refuse.

This way, no one will know, and maybe we can really arrange it. But although I am confident, I dare not promise you 100%.

If there is any mistake, or if the emperor knows something and fails to do it, you must not blame me. I have tried my best for you. Sooner or later, I will give you a good place, but maybe not now. "At this time, the clappers outside the palace could be heard ringing.

"Oh, we brothers have been talking here for quite some time, and it's almost past three o'clock in the morning.

If you don't go back to bed, you may not be able to sleep tonight. We have to get up early tomorrow. Go back and rest early. We can talk tomorrow if we have anything to say."

“Brother, you have a prince’s residence in the palace, so you should go back to your place.

My second brother and I slept together tonight. We haven't slept together for a long time. Since my second brother got married, he no longer sleeps with us brothers."

Zhu Di said these words while smiling.

"Zhu Di, you should be as happy as you are now, instead of making yourself look like your bitter and resentful father, who frowns whenever he sees you.

There is no conflict between you two. Don't always let your father think that you are too thoughtful. He doesn't like it."

“I can’t help it, I’m not good at showing off in front of my father.

At a young age, he sent me to General Lan Yu's tent. But this was a good thing for me. Although I lost my father's love, I did learn a lot of skills from General Lan Yu. "

Zhu Di was a person with a strong ability to adapt to the environment, and he never hesitated every time he thought of this.

"It seems that we really underestimated you. I originally thought that you were so silent in front of the emperor because you were stimulated by something before. Now it seems that all this is the character you set for yourself."

"Character?"

Zhu Kai's blurt-out words made the two of them even more at a loss.

"I think I'm probably talking nonsense because I'm sleepy. Just treat it as nonsense. Since Big Brother wants to sleep with the two of us today, the three of us brothers should sleep with our feet together.

The ancients slept with their feet together probably because they had no time to go home to rest after drinking and chatting, so these brothers would rest together. "

"Zhu Kai, sometimes I, as your eldest brother, really don't understand what you are thinking, and I don't understand why you are so weird.

Sometimes you know everything about astronomy and geography, and are well-versed in both ancient and modern times.

Sometimes, it seems that you know nothing about a lot of history or a lot of allusions, and the things you know seem to be sometimes clear and sometimes confusing.

Zhu Kai, is there something wrong with your brain?
Today I said that I would ask people from the Imperial Hospital to go to Liao Yongzhong's residence to check out his old illness. Now it's time for you to go to his hospital and find an imperial physician to take a good look at it.

You keep talking nonsense like this all day long. No wonder your father always has doubts about you. You don't even have a clear idea in your mind, so how can your father trust you completely?"

"Brother, my second brother once said that this is called great wisdom but appearing foolish."

"I think we should just forget about it. He has a misunderstanding of this term. A wise man who appears foolish may not look smart, but he is actually a smart person. But Zhu Kai looks like a shrewd person, and this cannot be deceived."

"Brother, you have learned to read faces?"

"You know a little bit, right? Come on, come back to the room, and I'll take a good look at your face."

On the other side, at the inn.

"Look at what has happened now?

It seems that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still a little worried about us. Even though we have come a long way without bringing any guards here, and have shown our tribe's sincerity, Zhu Yuanzhang does not seem to appreciate it."

"Brother, Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world with his own hands. He is not an ordinary person. We are not his opponents at all, and there is no way we can be compared with him."

After Guanyinnu finished speaking, Wang Baobao smiled.

"What you said does make some sense. Perhaps we are thinking too narrowly about this matter, but we have taken into account that Zhu Yuanzhang will keep us here.

On the surface, he said that he was concerned about our fatigue from the journey and wanted us to have a few more days of rest, but in fact, he had no intention of summoning us at all. What did he think of us? This was clearly a naked show of power.

I am the only one who can endure this. If your second brother was here, he would have lost his temper a long time ago. Who can endure this kind of humiliation?"

“Brother, second brother has always had this temper, luckily he is not here.

I would be worried if he were to stay here. Now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has passed down the imperial edict, and I will be marrying Zhu Chong soon.

This matter shouldn't be delayed too long. After the New Year, he will have to send his sons to wherever they should be established as fiefdoms.

There is no way he would let them stay in the capital, so I guess he doesn't want to leave us here forever, but he probably hasn't figured out what kind of status to give Big Brother so that he can reasonably convince the civil and military officials."

"Is it even necessary to think about this? Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he has absolute power over everything. Who would dare to oppose his random order? I think he is clearly disrespecting our tribe."

"Zhu Yuanzhang was not such a person, he should have a very broad vision.

Look at the sons around him. People say that a good father will have a good son. From these princes of the Ming Dynasty, we can infer what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was.

He was able to become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty with nothing but his own hands. He is definitely a big brother who should not be underestimated. Your surrender to the Ming Dynasty in advance is simply a very rational and correct behavior. "

“Look at the moon outside, it’s just not as beautiful as the one on the grassland.

I'm already beginning to miss the grassland. We've only been in the capital for a few days, and we've been locked up here like prisoners.

Zhu Yuanzhang has completely taken control of us. We know that we have no other options left. We are nothing more than fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered at will."

“We should all obey Zhu Yuanzhang’s arrangements now, not only for our own tribe, but also for the safety of everyone.

But please rest assured, brother, I am very confident.

As long as I can become the Princess of Qin, I will be able to gain some power, and then we can be on equal footing with Zhu Kai.

Now we still have to bow down to Zhu Kai. As long as we can be on an equal footing with him, we can share a lot of benefits, which is good for us." (End of this chapter)
