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

Chapter 48 Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang also want to leave the palace
Even Li You dared to call Zhu Kai shameless, which shows how angry he was about what Zhu Kai did:
"Master, we can't just let this go."

"..."

Li Qi did not answer Li You's words. He was still thinking about life. As for Li You's words that this matter could not be let go like this.

Li Qi didn't want to let Zhu Kai go, but what else could he do?

Zhu Kai is a prince, and his backer is Zhu Yuanzhang. He is the most favored second prince of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Kai's status is so noble that he cannot deal with him!

After a long time, Li Qi finally came back to his senses from his disappointment and said angrily: "We can't just let this go. Zhu Kai is too cunning. We must plan carefully and make Zhu Kai suffer a loss in front of us two brothers!"

"I'm just waiting for you to say this, young master."

Li You was overjoyed and said to Li Qi:
"Master, if you need me to do anything, just tell me and I will do my best to help you."

If I say I will help with all my strength, then I will definitely help with all my strength and will never let Zhu Kai go easily.

He was just Li Shanchang's nephew, and was definitely not qualified to take revenge on Zhu Kai.

Except Li Qi, no one around him is qualified.

Li Qi always loses when facing Zhu Kai, and he has been very resentful towards Zhu Kai for a long time.

This time, Li Qi thought that he lost to Zhu Kai not because of Zhu Kai's martial arts, but because of his conspiracy and intrigue.

Strategy...Isn't this a patent exclusive to his Li family?
Why does Zhu Kai have the ability to scheme and plot?

It must be Hu Tian, ​​the bastard who betrayed his teacher and ancestors!

Hu Tian's father, Hu Weiyong, was not only Li Shanchang's fellow villager, but they also addressed each other as master and disciple on a daily basis - of course, it was Hu Weiyong who called each other master and disciple.

As for why the villain Hu Weiyong called Li Shanchang "Master" - he didn't do it sincerely, he just wanted to rely on Li Shanchang.

Now, Li Shanchang resigned and returned to his hometown. He was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to build the Fengyang Imperial City. Seeing that Li Shanchang was no longer a reliable figure, Hu Weiyong immediately kicked him away and threw himself into Zhu Kai's arms.

His son Hu Tian is also a fence-sitter who changes his stance according to the situation. He used to follow Li Qi, but now he serves Zhu Kai.

Being defeated by Zhu Kai in the area where the Li family is best, Li Qi had only three words in his mind: I refuse to accept!
Revenge is definitely necessary, but Li Qi has not yet figured out how to retaliate.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it carefully."

Li Qi was wondering how his father dealt with Zhu Yuanzhang. After he figured it out, he used the same method to deal with Zhu Kai!
……

In the next few days, Zhu Di did not come to see Zhu Kai. He stayed at home all day taking care of Zhu Su. It seemed that he really regretted letting Zhu Su take the blame.

Zhu Yuanzhang was busy with the Northern Expedition and had no time to pay attention to Zhu Kai and other children. When a teacher went to complain, Zhu Yuanzhang just asked a strong man to beat them with a stick, that was all.

The princes in the palace knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had no time to take care of them, so they became bolder and skipped classes, went out to play... and even thought about leaving the palace.

Zhu Kai could leave the palace at will, but his younger brothers, including Zhu Biao, did not have the right to leave the palace at will - unless they were taken by Zhu Kai.

Didn’t you see that Zhu Di was having fun playing with Zhu Kai?

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang also wanted to go out, but they were too embarrassed to go to Zhu Kai to beg for mercy, otherwise they would definitely be humiliated by Zhu Kai.

However, the glamorous world of Yingtian Prefecture, like the worms in their stomachs, has been seducing them.

Go find Zhu Yuanzhang?
Stop it, Zhu Yuanzhang is busy with the Northern Expedition. If they go there now, wouldn't that be walking into their own trap? In the end, only Zhu Kai can lead them out.

Whether to be humiliated by Zhu Kai or to go to Yingtian Prefecture to play, these two thoughts have been lingering in the minds of the two brothers Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang.

"Brother, after we are humiliated by Zhu Kai, will he take us out?"

Zhu Gang's aggrieved words awakened Zhu Chong.

Zhu Chong's eyes immediately lit up and he said, "We can't look for Dad, nor can we look for Zhu Kai, but... we can ask Big Brother for help!"

Zhu Biao?

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

Zhu Gang slapped his thigh in excitement, causing Zhu Chong next to him to cry out in pain: "Fourth brother, you are excited if you want to, but why are you slapping me?"

"Uh... Third brother, it was a mistake, a mistake..."

Zhu Gang pretended to apologize to Zhu Chong, then couldn't help pulling Zhu Chong up: "If that's the case, then what are we waiting for? Second brother usually listens to eldest brother the most. If eldest brother asks him to take us out, second brother will definitely agree."

Zhu Chong thought so too, and the two brothers went to the Eastern Palace to find Zhu Biao together.

Zhu Biao was conscripted by Zhu Yuanzhang and was responsible for raising food and fodder for the Northern Expedition. This year was indeed a year of bumper harvest, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already issued an order to reduce taxes and levies. The tax revenue for this year was not enough to support the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition.

However, the tone of the Northern Expedition had been set, and Zhu Biao had to do his best to complete it. He was so busy all day that he almost invited Li Shanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang's chief steward, back from Fengyang to ask for advice.

Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the three provinces to march north to attack the Mongols, and Li Shanchang was in charge of the rear-end dispatch. There was never a shortage of food and supplies. But the Ming Dynasty had been established for four years and controlled the whole country. Why couldn't it even provide food and supplies for the northern expedition?

Zhu Biao was very angry, but Zhu Yuanzhang feared Li Shanchang, so he resigned and returned home. Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for him to go to Fengyang to repair the Fengyang Imperial City. Even if Zhu Biao had a hundred courage, he would not dare to invite Li Shanchang back.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang came to find Zhu Biao. Although Zhu Biao was anxious about official business, he was still very happy to receive his third and fourth brothers. But when he heard that these two people came to him just to ask Zhu Kai to take them out to play, Zhu Biao was so angry that he almost took off his shoes to teach his son in his place.

"You two, if you have nothing to do, come and help me move the food. All you do is play! Play! Have you learned? Have you memorized the books?"

Zhu Biao was also unable to suppress his anger. He was already annoyed enough because of collecting food and supplies, and now these two guys were making things even more troublesome for him.

On ordinary days, Zhu Biao never lost his temper.

He always stood in front of his many younger brothers with the image of an honest man, but his younger brothers were all afraid that Zhu Biao would get angry.

But compared to Zhu Biao, they were more afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.

At least in front of Zhu Biao, they can speak.

"Brother, if you need our help, we will certainly do our best to help you. We will also bring our second brother to help you, but we are of no use."

Zhu Gang wanted to go out and play, so he said to Zhu Biao, "Brother, if we stay in the palace and make Dad and you angry, it would be better for us to let our second brother take us out. Even if we get into trouble, Dad only needs to beat our second brother. Wouldn't that save the time of beating me and our third brother and let us do the real work?"

"Yes, yes, brother, I think so too."

Zhu Chong pulled Zhu Biao and said, "Brother, please help us to plead for mercy and let us go with our second brother. We promise not to cause trouble."

"How can you not cause trouble when following my second brother? You think I don't understand you and am bullying you?" Zhu Biao snorted coldly. Two little troublemakers following a big troublemaker, it would be strange if they didn't cause trouble.
