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

Zhu Kai just kept staring at the other person, and the imperial physician was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, why are you staring at me like this? I am really at a loss as to what to do..."

"Oh, I don't mean anything else. I just saw you sweating profusely. You are a civil servant, how come you don't care about your image at all? It's so troublesome running around on the road."

"Your Highness, you don't know that I was forced to do this. I have no choice... Oh... Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

The imperial physician knew that he could not be disrespectful in front of the prince. The most taboo thing in the palace was to be disrespectful in front of the royal family. Sweat kept dripping down his forehead.

"Doctor, you see, the weather outside is quite cool. You are sweating so much in such weather. It must be because of something you just experienced, right?"

"No, no."

Zhu Kai's face darkened when he heard this, and he said in a low voice.

"Don't you dare not answer the question I asked you truthfully?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This matter concerns Liao Yongzhong, the Marquis of Deqing. I dare not say anything carelessly. His status and position in the entire court is so high that no one can afford to offend him.

I have an old mother and a wife and children. If I say something wrong and offend Marquis Deqing, my life and property will be in danger. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Although Zhu Di was a man of few words, he was by no means a prince without dignity.

Hearing this, he said immediately.

"How dare you! In your eyes, the prince's status is not as good as a minister? No matter how high his status and position, Marquis Deqing is just a minister of the emperor. You work for the royal family, but you are afraid of Marquis Deqing. Where do you put the emperor and the prince?"

"This"

Zhu Kai would pretend to be a good person at this time. How could he miss this opportunity?

"Fifth brother, don't scare him at this time. It's not easy for him. It's okay to be afraid of power. I am insignificant and my words carry little weight. Even if there is anything, I can't help you. It's normal for you to have concerns."

When Zhu Kai said these words, he felt a little uncomfortable with himself.

I thought to myself, I sounded like a green tea when I said this, what if the Crown Prince heard it? I guess my eldest brother would definitely be sad.

However, if you want to deal with Liao Yongzhong, you must have substantial evidence, both witnesses and physical evidence. Although Zhu Yuanzhang has not officially handed over this task to Zhu Kai, he must also be mentally prepared in advance.

Zhu Kai has already thought it through. As long as this imperial physician can tell something about Liao Yongzhong, this person can be protected as an important certification.

But this guy was timid and didn't dare to say anything, which made Zhu Kai feel a little embarrassed.

"It's understandable that you're afraid of getting your family into trouble. There's nothing hard to say. I just heard that the Emperor asked the Imperial Hospital to see Liao Yongzhong?"

"Your Highness, I was the one who went to see him. Marquis Deqing said that I was not qualified to treat him and that the director of the Imperial Hospital had to go. He kicked me out straight away."

When Zhu Di heard this, he clenched his fists and said viciously.

"How outrageous! This is the emperor's arrangement, and this is the imperial palace. He is so brazen. This is too outrageous. We cannot keep such a person here."

Zhu Di has always been very low-key. He didn't want to be too conspicuous in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but he also didn't want to have too little presence. However, Zhu Di couldn't tolerate what happened to Liao Yongzhong.

"Second brother, now that the world is at peace, everyone who follows our father wants to gain more wealth and glory. General Xu Da and General Chang Yuchun have both followed our father for many years.

They haven't done anything yet, but Liao Yongzhong dared to challenge my father's bottom line. I guess my father will never let him go, and this time his death is coming.

I just don't know when the emperor wants to take action. Do you think it will be before the New Year or after the New Year?"

Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Di with a smile.

"Why are you so angry? In my second brother's mind, you are the kind of person who can be promoted to general if he has a calm face and a thunderous chest. But you are so furious this time. I really didn't expect it."

Zhu Di no longer hesitated and spoke directly.

"Second brother, actually I heard some things about Liao Yongzhong when I was in the border area. This guy bullied his subordinates. Many of the people in my military camp escaped from him.

In fact, General Lan Yu also knew about this matter, but due to Liao Yongzhong's connections and status, who would dare to do it unless the emperor persuaded him?

General Lan Yu and I have already discussed and reached a consensus that this matter should be kept secret for the time being, and no one should mention it to the public. This has temporarily saved those who escaped from his hands."

"Yes, Liao Yongzhong's status and position were very special at that time, so it was normal that you didn't dare to touch him. What about those soldiers who escaped? Where are they now?"

"They also risked their lives to escape. We have protected them, but they did not follow us back to the capital. After discussing with General Lan Yu, we decided to let them stay in the Mongolian tribe and not come back for the time being."

"I see. Your arrangement is reasonable. We are just afraid that their hatred for Liao Yongzhong will turn into hatred for the Ming Dynasty. What if they surrender to the enemy?"

Zhu Di smiled and said to Zhu Kai.

"Brother, don't worry. I have thought about this matter a long time ago. I have already discussed it with General Lan Yu. I am still somewhat confident about this matter alone.

We have dressed these soldiers up as Mongolian tribesmen, and they will follow Toyin Timur's camp, and no one will know about this."

As soon as Zhu Kai heard the name Toghon Temur, he became alert.

"Hey~~~ This guy and I are always at loggerheads. We always have conflicts. If he knew that these soldiers had a relationship with me, it would be a disaster."

"No, second brother. After all, Toyin Timur is Wang Baobao's younger brother. No matter how unwilling he is, he must follow the trend of the times and surrender quickly. In addition, the marriage between Guanyinnu and third brother means that we will all be a family from now on."

"Yeah, you're right."

At this time, the imperial physician had been waiting outside for a long time, and the sweat on his body had completely subsided.

"Your Highness, is there anything else you want to ask or know? If not, I will go in to diagnose your pulse first. Concubine Yu has been waiting for a long time."

At this time, the previous dynasty had already withdrawn from the court.

Li Shanchang wanted to follow Liao Yongzhong to see the imperial physician, but he was directly rejected by the doctor.

Hu Weiyong looked at Li Shanchang standing alone, and he secretly laughed at him. "Mr. Li, look at you, both of us have been with the emperor for so many years, who would have thought that we would be dumped at this time?"

"Sir Hu, what you said is a little wrong. It's the same as when you are around the emperor. Some people are arrogant by nature. We just need to take care of ourselves."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao smiled helplessly when he heard this.

"In fact, you have all worked hard and made great contributions, so it is normal for you to have some temper. Don't overdo it. Everything has a limit. Once you exceed this limit, it will be dangerous."

Even the good-tempered Crown Prince Zhu Biao thought this guy had gone too far. It was obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer tolerate this matter.

Hu Weiyong hurriedly walked forward and spoke attentively.

"Your Highness, I heard that today is the day of your family reunion banquet, so you should go to the Queen immediately. If there is anything, we can wait until tomorrow to discuss it."

"Yeah, that's fine."

Afterwards, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, without caring about other people's opinions, ran directly to the room next to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and said lightly.

"The Emperor has ordered that Marquis Deqing is not feeling well. If that's the case, what are you guys still doing standing outside like idiots?"

The group of young eunuchs nearby were very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"Your Highness, you should go and have a look yourself. I can't answer you anything about this matter. The key is..."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao knew that Liao Yongzhong must be too difficult to serve and many people could not tolerate him.

"It's better for me to go and take a look myself. I don't know what to do. It's all because of you guys who didn't serve me well."

Liao Yongzhong was sitting inside the room. When he heard the Crown Prince coming in, he hurriedly put on his shoes and pretended to be embarrassed.

"Your Highness, why are you here? Look at me, I am so disheveled. I am so embarrassed and it is a bit rude."

My goodness, this guy is the Marquis Deqing of the Ming Dynasty. He looks bright and handsome on the surface, but he actually has athlete's foot, which makes the Crown Prince Zhu Biao very upset.

But out of politeness I was too embarrassed to cover my mouth, so I had to endure the taste.

At the same time, Liao Yongzhong also noticed the prince's expression and then explained.

"Your Highness, I am a rough man. It's not that I don't wash my feet. It's just that the imperial physician just now really doesn't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. I said I wanted the director of the Imperial Hospital to help me with my illness, but a bunch of idiot imperial physicians came instead."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao had a good temper and was not angry when he heard this. But if it were Zhu Kai, it would be troublesome because Zhu Kai had a very unforgiving temper.

"Yes, Marquis Deqing has a different status and position. Ordinary doctors are not qualified to treat you. You should have a doctor with higher status to treat you.

"Someone, come here, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and ask the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital to come here, you are such a clueless bunch."

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. What I meant is that the person who came to my mansion to see a doctor before was the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital. It would be difficult to change him."

Liao Yongzhong is not as stubborn as before.

Today in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang's criticism of him has made him feel a sense of crisis.

The person who just came to treat Liao Yongzhong was the one who was seen being driven out at the door of Concubine Yi. He originally went to treat Liao Yongzhong, but the doctor disliked his status and kicked him out directly.

He just happened to come and replace the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau who was preparing to treat Concubine Yi.

As a result, he was met by Zhu Kai and Zhu Di.

At this moment, the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau knocked on the door tremblingly.

Everyone knows that Liao Yongzhong, Marquis of Deqing, is a complete scoundrel. Who would want to have anything to do with him?
Now this guy asked me to come here by name, he must want to take revenge on me. That day, I went to his mansion to see a doctor, but was chased out by the housekeeper and guards before I even went in.

This made him feel very uncomfortable, but he knew that the other party was a powerful person, so he did not dare to say anything carelessly. Who would have thought that this incident would be seen by Hu Weiyong, the troublemaker of the previous dynasty.

I am just a mere judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, but I have become a pawn and victim of the struggle between the previous dynasty. Thinking of this, I was already sweating profusely.

"Hey, Judge Zhang, you're finally back."

"What's going on in there?"

"After kicking out the doctor who treated him just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inside. You don't have to worry so much. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, everything will be easy. I believe he won't make things difficult for you."

When the other party heard the eunuch's reply, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly wiped the sweat from his head and felt relieved.

"Oh, that's good. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, we don't have to worry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will help us. That's good, that's good."

The chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau was also worried about himself.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Marquis Deqing, I am late. I am here to see Concubine Xi at this time every day. She is pregnant, and the Queen Mother specifically asked me to take care of her personally."

"Yes, I understand. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still here. Don't act like you're in trouble. Who are you pretending to be pitiful for?"

"I dare not. I just wanted to explain why I was so late. I hope you will not be angry."

"Am I the kind of person who gets angry easily? This is simply nonsense. By the way, I also want to explain what happened yesterday. Don't take it to heart.

Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to go to my mansion, but you were stopped by the butler before you could go in. This was the butler's own decision, so you must not take it to heart."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this.
Oh my god, is there something wrong with my ears? How could someone like Liao Yongzhong say such a servile thing?

It seems that when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

"Marquis Deqing is really too polite. The Emperor and the Crown Prince asked me to go and see what is going on. I am just following their orders and will not slack off.

Since it is a misunderstanding, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too, so at least he can be a witness. In the future, don’t let any misunderstandings affect the relationship between you and the emperor.”

Crown Prince Zhu Biao had originally thought of forgiving others, but at this moment he completely changed his mind. (End of this chapter)
