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

Liao Yongzhong was secretly delighted when he heard this.

He had been disliked by Zhu Yuanzhang recently. If he could take this opportunity to perform well, perhaps he could turn the tables in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Thinking of this, this "very smart man" walked forward, knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about these people from the Mongol tribe. They are nothing in front of our Ming Dynasty. His Highness Zhu Kai can lead people to deal with them, and I can do the same.

Even though I’m old now, I’m still in good health and as strong as ever. I can be said to be still as skilled as ever.

If that doesn't work, let me lead the troops to conquer all of their Mongol tribes!
I want to see what qualifications they have to be so arrogant in front of us, and they even dare to be arrogant in front of the emperor. They simply want to die."

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao saw Liao Yongzhong's clownish behavior, he really felt helpless. This guy was hopeless and the emperor had no intention of forgiving him at all.

When Zhu Yuanzhang had no one available, the first person he thought of was definitely Liao Yongzhong. In addition, his relationship with his brother was enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang trust this person. But now that the world has been settled, who would care about these things?
"Marquis Deqing, didn't you just say that you had a problem with your leg and it was inconvenient for you to see the imperial physician? How come your leg has healed in such a short time?
Not only did his leg injury completely heal, he was even able to go to the battlefield. This is truly a medical miracle."

After Hu Weiyong said this, everyone present couldn't help laughing. It seemed that this guy was really anxious and wanted to perform well in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Well...even if my legs are defective, I can still endure it for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. This is a manifestation of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. People like you who are full of stinky ink will never understand it.

I have fought with the emperor and have been by his side for so many years. I have experienced all kinds of storms. Am I going to be frightened by these villains?"

"Hey, I, a person full of ink, have heard a saying, that is, a hero does not brag about his past achievements.

What happened back then is all in the past. Your former leader is now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Do you treat the emperor of the Ming Dynasty the same way as you did the emperor before?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded slightly.

Wang Jinghong had been with Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years and knew his temper too well. After hearing the argument between the two men, he knew that the two men no longer had any good feelings in front of the emperor. They still kept talking and blaming each other.

"Father, now is not the time to discuss these things. Brother Wang Baobao and his sister have been staying in the inn in the capital for so many days.

Moreover, the marriage between Guanyinnu and Zhu Chong had already spread throughout the world.

Everyone knows what kind of relationship we have. If we embarrass Wang Baobao at this time, wouldn't it embarrass my father? The person who came up with this idea must have had no good intentions. "

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was originally a gentle and honest man. He did not want to offend anyone with words. However, Liao Yongzhong's behavior was so stupid that Crown Prince Zhu Biao could not stand it anymore and made a few sarcastic remarks.

General Lan Yu was listening to these words nearby. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke up to defend Zhu Kai.

However, he knew that the relationship between him and Zhu Kai was rather sensitive, and Zhu Yuanzhang also cared about this, so he didn't dare to say too much.

After returning, he never even mentioned anything about Zhu Kai in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what you are thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about the Queen, what dishes will be prepared for the family dinner tonight?
These children have not been back for more than a year, and they have suffered a lot in the border areas. Although it is good for boys to suffer a little, they are princes of the Ming Dynasty after all, and they have been raised in luxury since childhood. "

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed the subject, and everyone present was a little confused.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao could also see that the emperor probably didn't want to discuss this matter any further. He would not make any decision until he had decided who between Wang Baobao and Zhu Kai should return to the border tribe.

It had already been decided that Wang Baobao would come to the palace after the family dinner. But now the director was a little hesitant as he felt that now was not a good time.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to discuss this matter anymore, Wang Jinghong quickly spoke.

"My Lords, the Emperor is a little tired today. Please make a petition if you have one, or leave the court if you don't."

"Forehead……"

Liu Bowen saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was quite obvious, so he didn't know what to say. However, he had already decided that after a while, he would go to the prince alone to discuss Zhu Kai's issue.

"Since none of you have anything to report, let's adjourn the court."

"Congratulations to your Majesty!"

Zhu Biao talked about the matter with Zhu Kai too late last night, and he did not argue about it in the court today. Just as they were about to leave, Hu Weiyong stopped Liao Yongzhong again.

“A good dog stays out of the way.”

Hu Weiyong put his hands in his sleeves and held them in front of his chest. When he heard this, he deliberately looked around, then smiled and said.

"A good dog certainly doesn't block the road, but there are no dogs around here. I'm the only one here. Could Marquis Deqing be talking about me?"

"Sir Hu, you are already the prime minister, you should be a smart man, you can't be unable to understand even the basic words, we had a few words yesterday.

Do you have to say bad things about me in front of the emperor? This is the behavior of a woman, and it really makes me look down on you scholars. "

"Marquis Deqing, you look down on us scholars and it's fine if you're talking about me alone, but why do you look down on all the scholars in the world?"

"If I hadn't accompanied the emperor in conquering the world, you wouldn't be here to talk nonsense today. I'm afraid you would have been killed by someone long ago."

"Marquis Deqing, we all know that you have worked hard and made great contributions, but you can't keep saying these words. The emperor is anxious about your kindness.

But the emperor is the emperor after all, and it is your duty to assist him in conquering the world. Are you complaining now, or do you want the emperor to always remember your contributions?"

"You two? Why are you arguing like children?"

Li Shanchang had already known that things would develop to this point today, but he had never imagined that it would be so difficult to control.

"Sir Li, what we are talking about here has nothing to do with you, so why are you trying to muddy the water?" "That's not what I meant, I just heard that Marquis Deqing is not feeling well, so he has to go to the next room and wait for the doctor to come and see him.

It just so happens that I’ve been having some pain in my arm lately, and I wonder if I could ask the imperial physician to take a look at it.

This way I wouldn't have to alarm the people in the Imperial Hospital again. Although they are all kind-hearted doctors, Taiyi is serving the royal family after all.

For someone of our status, it is not easy to work once. Just consider it as an advantage for me, and you should just do me a favor."

"I see……"

"Lord Li, stop pretending to be pitiful here, as if the emperor is partial to one and not the other.

Just now in the court, you didn't say that your arm was uncomfortable. If you had said it, the emperor would have asked the imperial physician to see you, and you wouldn't have to do anything to curry favor with him."

Xu Da and Lan Yu walked together.

"I have been back in the capital these few days, and I haven't had the chance to meet and talk with you. I don't know how you have been doing over the past year."

"Xu Da, as you said, we have known each other since childhood. Do you need to beat around the bush when it comes to what you want to say? I just want to know what kind of situation my daughter is in."

"It's a different time now, how can it be compared with when we were kids? The relationship we had when we were kids doesn't seem to be appropriate now.

I know Xu Miaoyun will not suffer any harm by following His Highness Zhu Kai, but the border area is adjacent to the Mongolian Yuan tribe and the people there are extremely rude, it is simply a barbaric land.

Xu Miaoyun grew up in seclusion at home and is a proper lady from a noble family. If I had known what happened between His Highness Zhu Kai and his wife, I should not have agreed to it."

Xu Da also felt sorry for his daughter and now felt a little regretful. He knew that Zhu Kai was a reliable person.

Not to mention, he is smart and capable, and as a man he is very responsible. This is what Xu Miaoyun values ​​most about him, and it is also the most important reason why Xu Da agreed to this marriage.

"When we first arrived at the border, it was not a good place. It was overgrown with weeds and no one roamed."

"Let me tell you, what good can there be in the barbarian lands on the border?
His Highness Zhu Kai insisted on going to that place. The Emperor gave him many options at the beginning, but he insisted on going so far, and it implicated my daughter. "

"Xu Da, you have to be aware of your identity.

Things are different now. No matter how close your relationship with the emperor is, there are some things you cannot say.

First of all, it was the emperor's decision to go to the border area. Secondly, it was His Highness Zhu Kai's own free will. Even your daughter volunteered to follow His Highness Zhu Kai to such a far place, yet you are complaining a lot here.

If the emperor heard it, it would also affect the relationship between you two.

You must always remember that he is no longer your playmate. Now he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and holds the power of life and death. What a terrible power this is. "

When Xu Da heard what Lan Yu said, he was completely shocked.

In the past, Lan Yu was an arrogant and domineering person. Not to mention that he was comparable to Liao Yongzhong now, he also did not take anyone seriously.

Relying on his own merits and glorious military achievements, he never cared about other people's opinions and views. Now that he could say these words to himself, he really felt very surprised.

"People say that a man who has been away for three days is looked at with new eyes. You have been apart from me for more than a year, and you are like a completely different person. What happened in the border area that made you change so much?

Generally speaking, people's personalities change only after they have experienced major events. What about Lan Yu?

During this year or so, have you experienced a life-and-death test there, or has all your courage been scared away by Wang Baobao?

Are the two brothers Wang Baobao really as powerful as the legend says?
I know that the people in their tribe grew up on horseback and are very good at riding and shooting, but you can't always say that, it makes people feel like..."

Before Xu Da could finish his words, Lan Yu just left, not wanting to pay any attention to him at all.

"Don't leave in a hurry. Perhaps it's because you've been with His Highness Zhu Kai for so long that you've changed so much?
His Highness Zhu Kai is quite capable. He was able to train a arrogant person like you to be as obedient as a dog. It seems that my son-in-law is quite capable. "

When Lan Yu heard Xu Da say this, he knew that the other party said these words on purpose to provoke him, so he would not be fooled.

Xu Da saw that there was no change on Lan Yu's face, and he even doubted whether the guy in front of him was Lan Yu.

"What kind of magic potion did that brat Zhu Kai give you?

You've changed so much? No, if it's really necessary, I'll go with him to the borderland to stay for a while and give my bad temper a good beating."

"I haven't experienced any life-and-death test, because I know you better. You just said these words on purpose to anger me. Don't think I don't know.

I have already told you everything we have said, and I believe the emperor's ears will pass on our words to him intact."

"What did you say? You mean the Emperor is spying on us?"

"Otherwise, what do you think the Jinyiwei exists for?

The emperor spent so much energy and money to establish the Jinyiwei, just to let them wander around the Ming Dynasty court and look good?
The emperor established the Jinyiwei not only to protect himself, but also because he had some unique ideas of his own.

Anyway, we don’t know what he wants to do. We just need to know that these things have nothing to do with us. My change is indeed related to His Highness Zhu Kai.

But this is not absolute, and I can also tell you that in the past year or so in the border area, your daughter has not suffered any loss at all.

His Highness Zhu Kai treats him very well, and they have a harmonious relationship, which is more important than anything else.

It's not that the living environment is relatively simple and it's miserable not to be able to live the life of a lady from a noble family. Their thoughts and ideas are different from ours now, and you have to change your old ideas and concepts." (End of this chapter)
