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

Chapter 99: If I had a son, I would want him to be the Second Prince!
Zhu Yuanzhang did not say how he discovered Zhu Biao's flaw, because that was a lie in itself, and he didn't think he could hide it from Ma Xiuying?
What should I do?
Old Zhu learned this from Zhu Kai. Zhu Kai firmly believed that Ma Xiuying knew him well, so he never lied in front of Ma Xiuying and only told the truth.

What is the truth?

What Ma Xiuying believed, what Ma Xiuying thought... this is the truth.

Zhu Biao was good to Zhu Kai, and he was the best he could be. This was the truth, and Ma Xiuying believed it.

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang learned.

Zhu Yuanzhang said from the very beginning that Zhu Kai wanted to go to Qi and Lu, and Zhu Biao had to give advice, and everything that followed was true. Ma Xiuying would naturally think of Zhu Biao helping Zhu Kai go to Qi and Lu.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect Ma Xiuying to believe it all at once. It was enough for him as long as Ma Xiuying had doubts.

As for what happens next, there is no need to rush, Zhu Kai will not leave now.

"Alas, the child has grown up and I can't control him anymore."

Ma Xiuying was in a dilemma. She had a headache. Neither of her two sons was filial. They only thought about how to leave their parents. She was very depressed: "Are we so annoying now?"

"Children, there will always be this stage."

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked helpless, and said to Ma Xiuying: "It's just that we have never experienced such a time before. Our parents are not here, and we can only make our own way to survive. We can't stay with our parents even if we want to. These guys really don't know how to appreciate their blessings."

Ma Xiuying agreed with this. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ma Xiuying's attitude and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Sister, to be honest... Kai'er is my most beloved son, and I don't want him to go out, but he is much more capable than me. I, I really don't want to lock him in a cage, but... Alas."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a dilemma, and then he gave Ma Xiuying a strong dose of medicine: "Sister, tell me...when we are gone, will Kaier hate us?"

In these words, he not only expressed his idea of ​​wanting Zhu Kai to leave, but also used his own embarrassment and worry to express another point of view: Even if I, Zhu Yuanzhang, am scolded by the children, I will stand on the same side with you, Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying naturally understood Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, but what she was worried about now was Zhu Kai... Although Zhu Biao helped Zhu Kai go to Qi and Lu, which made her a little angry, it was understandable when she thought about it. What she was worried about now was the same as what Zhu Yuanzhang had just said: Will Zhu Kai blame them?

After all, I forced Zhu Kai to stay just to keep the child by my side.

Ma Xiuying also doubted whether what she was doing was right or wrong.

She wanted the child to stay with her, but the child's wishes were contrary to her own ideas. The more Ma Xiuying thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Finally, she focused her anger on Zhu Yuanzhang: "What do you mean by telling me this? Do you want me to agree to let Kai'er go out? Humph!"

"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot of question marks on his head. He really didn't know where he had been exposed.

It shouldn’t be!

All these things were done in imitation of Zhu Kai's behavior, so what's wrong with that?

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughtful expression and seemed to realize something. She said to him, "Okay, you are using the same tricks you used on the ministers in the court on your family now?"

"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly denied the three allegations, saying that he was extremely loyal to his family and had never used any tricks against his family. Ma Xiuying was very angry at the moment, so there was no way she would listen to Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation.

Don't explain anymore. You, Zhu Yuanzhang, did it on purpose and said that on purpose.

So... Zhu Yuanzhang can’t go back to Kunning Palace to sleep today!
"Sister, we are sincere, sincere!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was driven out of Kunning Palace, was so conflicted. Although Ma Xiuying swore that Zhu Yuanzhang was just playing tricks on her, how could Zhu Yuanzhang admit it? Even if it was true, he could not admit it!
If you admit it, aren't you just pushing yourself into the fire?

This kind of thing cannot be admitted even to death.

However, no matter how innocent she is, there is no way Ma Xiuying can change her mind!
He still wants to sleep alone.

After returning, Zhu Yuanzhang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He tried to sum up his experience and figure out where he went wrong, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.

This is the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang lacks experience. As for women, you can't be too impatient. The line needs to be tightened and loosened. People like Zhu Yuanzhang who like to strike while the iron is hot and want to complete the goal of going all out in one go can easily make women feel disgusted. Exposing your needs too much and making women alert will make it difficult for you to make a move again.

It’s a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang was still a rookie at that time and didn’t know what pulling meant at all.

……

As the days passed, Zhu Kai's wedding date was set.

June 6th, the best day of the year.

There are still more than four months until June 6th, but everyone in the palace is busy with Zhu Kai's wedding, as if nothing is more important than Zhu Kai's wedding.

That being said, this is indeed the case, but as the groom, Zhu Kai doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to wait quietly, be a good tool, and marry the bride when the time comes.

Zhu Kai has lived two lives, but this is his first time getting married, and he is marrying two women at once, so Zhu Kai takes this matter very seriously.

However, before he could get serious, others told him: Your Highness the Second Prince, you don't have to do anything, just wait until the time comes to enter the bridal chamber.

Zhu Kai was very angry... Am I getting married just to enter the bridal chamber?

Love! Do you understand love?

Zhu Kai suddenly felt tired. This kind of marriage where she didn't have to do anything before getting married made her feel boring... If she could go to Qilu, it would definitely be much more interesting.

Zhu Kai told Ma Xiuying about his frustration, and Ma Xiuying was so angry that she wanted to poke Zhu Kai twice with the needle she used to cover the quilt: "You bastard! Just go out! You are getting married soon, how can you go out? Who will let you go out?"

"Mom, I'll be back soon. It won't delay the wedding. The Feng family's sister and the Xu family's sister are both rare and good girls. I won't miss them."

Zhu Kai said that he liked Xu Miaoyun and Feng Yuting very much, but he also told Ma Xiuying in another way: "But life is really boring now, isn't it? I can't do anything, so I might as well go out to relax. I'll just go to Qilu. I won't go out to sea. Besides, Jinghai Hou Wu Zhen cried and shouted that I should go to Qilu to help him build a ship. If I didn't respect your opinion, I would have gone to Qilu a long time ago."

"Since you respect my opinion, I won't let you go."

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Kai and said, "Aren't you obedient? Now is the time for you to be obedient. You want to go but I won't let you go. Just be obedient."

"..."

Zhu Kai's face was full of embarrassment: "Mom~"

"Stop it!"

Ma Xiuying usually gets angry at Zhu Kai, but now she doesn't care so much: "I'm telling you, don't even think about leaving Yingtian Prefecture."

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay in Fengxian Palace. I won't come to my mother's place either!"

Zhu Kai walked away angrily, but Ma Xiuying pretended not to notice his anger and continued to make a new quilt for Zhu Kai for his wedding.

In fact, after Zhu Yuanzhang told her this, Ma Xiuying herself began to waver. She didn't want to be the culprit who restricted Zhu Kai's freedom in his mind, but Zhu Kai's trip to the northern border last year really scared Ma Xiuying.

Zhu Kai is a wild horse that has broken free from its reins. There is nothing in this world that he dares not do. There is no problem for Zhu Kai to go to Qi and Lu, just treat it as some fun. But what if Zhu Kai goes crazy and wants to take a boat out to Japan after going to Qi and Lu?
Zhu Kai is getting married in four months. The sixth day of June is the best day of the year, and Ma Xiuying doesn't want to miss it.

Therefore, even if Zhu Kai wants to go to Qi and Lu, he should go next year, or... wait until he has a child. He should stay in Yingtian Prefecture before getting married!
Let Zhu Kai stay in Yingtian Prefecture honestly?

how can that be!

Zhu Kai left Ma Xiuying and went to Wenhua Hall... to teach the prince how to study. His appearance really scared the teacher who was teaching at that time, but facing the bear-like Zhu Kai, he had no courage to confront him head-on. He could only leave Wenhua Hall and go to Zhu Yuanzhang to hand in a letter of resignation.

Your Majesty, if you don't take care of the Second Prince, the other princes will be led astray by him.

The ministers actually didn’t know that Zhu Yuanzhang really and extremely hoped that Zhu Kai could teach his younger brothers the wrong way. That was what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted.

However, the world is so big that we cannot rely solely on the Zhu family; we need help from others.

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to scold Zhu Kai, and then said secretly: I don’t want this rebellious son to keep making trouble, but his mother doesn’t want him to leave Yingtian Prefecture, what can I do?
Of course, while secretly expressing his opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to consolidate his family throne: The reason I did this is not because I am afraid of my wife, but because Ma Xiuying has accompanied me in battles for half my life, and I must give her enough respect, so... I choose to respect her.

Therefore, if you have any opinions about Zhu Kai, you can go to Ma Xiuying. Telling me will not be of much use.

The court officials were all so smart that their hair was hollow. How could they not understand what Zhu Yuanzhang meant?
But, go find Ma Xiuying?
Forget it then.

Everyone in the court knew that Zhu Kai was the apple of Ma Xiuying's eye. Normally, she never participated in court affairs, but once she had a relationship with Zhu Kai, Ma Xiuying would turn into a tigress protecting her cub, and she would bare her teeth at anyone who dared to criticize Zhu Kai.

Zhu Kai is Ma Xiuying’s last bottom line as a mother!

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry and frustrated when he saw the timid looks on the court officials' faces when Ma Xiuying was mentioned.

Oh, aren’t you guys acting so arrogant in front of me?
No matter what I say, someone among you dares to raise objections. Now that Ma Xiuying is mentioned, why don’t you raise any opinions?

Aren't you bullying honest people?

Zhu Yuanzhang despised those courtiers who appeared to be powerful but were actually weak, a bunch of cowards!

Since the court officials could not be relied upon, Zhu Yuanzhang could only continue to think of ways to get Zhu Kai out.

Zhu Yuanzhang really hoped that Zhu Kai could get out. He knew Zhu Kai's character and knew that Zhu Kai was very dissatisfied with the old system. Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that Zhu Kai could break it all in his own way.

Even if we build another Ming Dynasty!
Unfortunately, this matter is very serious and needs to be dealt with slowly. The key is to get that little bastard Zhu Kai out!

……

Zhu Kai wanted to go out, but he was not in a hurry. The opportunity to go out would always come, but it was not the last step yet, so there was no need for him to make a fuss.

Besides, even if the quarrel was serious and Zhu Kai left home despite Ma Xiuying's objection, what would happen? If Zhu Kai returned home, would Ma Xiuying still not recognize him as her son?

So, no rush.

Zhu Kai saw Hu Weiyong, who had just been beaten by Zhu Biao, in his own hall. Zhu Biao was indeed ruthless when he beat him, and the guards in the palace who carried out the execution did not tolerate Hu Weiyong's status and were quite cruel.

Of course, this injury only caused some superficial injuries and no broken bones. It just looked quite serious. In fact, it would be healed after resting for ten days or half a month.

When Hu Weiyong saw Zhu Kai, he naturally boasted to Zhu Kai about the beating he had received. He thought this was something worth showing off. Of course, he did not forget to remind Zhu Kai: "Second Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very good at acting. That angry look... If I hadn't known he was acting, I would have been fooled by him."

Zhu Kai couldn't help but feel a headache when he watched Hu Weiyong excitedly describing how he cooperated with Zhu Biao in a play and then got beaten himself... This last prime minister in history must be a fool, right?

Are you still so happy after being beaten?
I really can't understand how this treacherous minister, who was second only to the emperor in history, could have ended up like that. He couldn't even tell whether Zhu Biao was really angry or just pretending to be angry?

Zhu Kai was too lazy to remind Hu Weiyong to be careful. Let him think whatever he wanted. As long as he thought what he thought was right, it didn't matter.

As long as Hu Weiyong is happy.

However, Hu Weiyong also mentioned that he was going to Qi and Lu: "Your Highness, I probably won't be able to stay in Yingtian Prefecture for too long this time to act with the Crown Prince. After my injury heals, I will set off for Qi and Lu. I'm afraid that after I leave, there will be no ministers in the court to protect you from the wind and rain."

At this moment, Hu Weiyong only wished that he could split into two, half going to Qi and Lu to work for Zhu Kai, and the other half staying in the court to protect Zhu Kai from wind and rain.

"Alright, alright, I'm tired of seeing you being so hypocritical."

Zhu Kai would not let the two cries of this villain change his mind about him. "Remember, when you get to Qi and Lu, first destroy the Japanese pirates, then deal with the Kong family. You must strike with lightning speed. If things are delayed for too long, changes will occur."

Hu Weiyong bowed his head and said, "Your Highness is right. Weiyong will definitely act according to your instructions."

Hu Weiyong obeyed Zhu Kai in all matters. This was his principle. Don't say that a general is not bound by the orders of the emperor when he is away from home. He was Zhu Kai's subject and would always be one.

Why did Hu Weiyong become Zhu Kai's loyal lackey? That's why he never forgot his identity as a lackey.

At the same time, Hu Weiyong did not forget to express his loyalty to Zhu Kai: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will communicate with you frequently during my trip to Qi and Lu, understand your intentions, and help you resolve the matters you have entrusted to me."

When saying this, Hu Weiyong was still sighing: "If I can follow Your Highness to Qi and Lu, it would be great. With you here, there is no problem that I can't solve."

"that's right!"

Zhu Kai patted Hu Weiyong's shoulder in agreement and said, "If I were to go, I could easily solve the Japanese pirates and the Confucius Temple. It wouldn't be a problem at all."

It’s a pity that my father is afraid of his wife and my mother won’t let me go out, which makes Zhu Kai very depressed.

So what if we get married?
"I've been chasing and fighting the remaining Yuan Dynasty. The few troops in Qi and Lu are not enough to fill my teeth. Why don't you let me go?"

Zhu Kai was very depressed, and when Hu Weiyong saw Zhu Kai's appearance, he immediately wanted to stand up to show his loyalty, but his buttocks were beaten and the flesh was broken, and he grimaced in pain every time he moved. However, he still told Zhu Kai very seriously: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will go to Kunning Palace to ask the Queen to allow you to go with me!"

"It has been a rule since ancient times that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. The Queen is kind-hearted, but she has always been foolish in using you, Your Highness. She has no idea how powerful you are."

In Hu Weiyong's eyes, Zhu Kai was the most powerful one, no one could compare to him, let alone Ma Xiuying. Even Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were not as good as Zhu Kai in Hu Weiyong's eyes.

This is the only person who knows that he is a villain. How could Hu Weiyong not be convinced?

Hu Weiyong hammered the floor hard and said to Zhu Kai, "I will make a desperate appeal to the Empress! I will definitely make her change her attitude towards you, Your Highness."

Zhu Kaishi was the most talented among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons. How could such a talent live in a small Yingtian Prefecture?

Not to mention Yingtian Prefecture, even the entire Ming Dynasty...

Hu Weiyong felt that none of them were enough to allow Zhu Kaide to fully display his talents.

"you?"

It's not that Zhu Kai didn't trust Hu Weiyong, but Hu Weiyong still had to deal with the affairs of Qi Lu, and he was already injured. If he continued to look for Ma Xiuying, he was worried that Hu Weiyong would miss out on important things.

"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself. I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death by your mother."

Hu Weiyong looked humiliated and said, "A man born between heaven and earth, how can he fear life and death?"

Judging from his expression, it seems that he would really go to Ma Xiuying to make a desperate appeal for Zhu Kai.

"roll!"

"okay!"

After being scolded by Zhu Kai, Hu Weiyong happily left Fengxian Hall.

……

Because Zhu Kai wanted to go to Qi and Lu, Ma Xiuying rejected his request and started to have people select a site for Zhu Kai's palace outside the palace, and then build a palace for him.

As for the name of the palace, it has already been chosen: it is called Prince Wu's Palace.

The reason why he was called King of Wu was very simple. Before Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he was called King of Wu. Now that the title of king was given to Zhu Kai, the civil and military officials in the court could not help but think about it.

King of Wu was the title Zhu Yuanzhang used when he rebelled. What does it mean to give this title to Zhu Kai now? Does it mean to encourage Zhu Kai to rebel?
But... the impeachment memorials from all the civil and military officials in the court, after being submitted, were like mud in the ocean, without making any waves at all. This was another blatant defense of Zhu Kai.

Going to Zhu Yuanzhang and impeaching Zhu Kai for his title of king was not in accordance with etiquette and law, and even people with ulterior motives would think that this was giving Zhu Kai hope, so that people with ulterior motives could incite Zhu Kai to rebel, and plunge the newly revived world into war again. After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang threw the memorial directly in the face of the minister who gave the advice, and then put him in prison. Whoever gave the advice would be put in prison, which scared the court officials and made them dare not impeach Zhu Kai for his title of king again.

I had been hoping to become a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty and go down in history. It would be totally not worth it if my future was ruined because of whether or not to appoint a crown prince.

On the issue of whether to let Zhu Kai or Zhu Biao become the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang acted more tyrannical than a tyrant. He would never let his ministers interfere in the matter, otherwise whoever got involved would be in trouble.

Zhu Yuanzhang's side was not convinced, so the brave ministers went to find Crown Prince Zhu Biao and asked him to be careful of Zhu Kai, but Zhu Biao's reaction... was the same as nothing.

As a staunch supporter of the emperor, Wang Guangyang watched all this coldly like an outsider. He saw how these court officials committed suicide. The main reason was that Zhu Biao had stated countless times that they were not worried about Zhu Kai's rebellion, but these court officials pretended to be ignorant and were still stubborn enough to fight and rob.

What's the use of a mere position of crown prince?

Throughout history, have there been few cases of crown princes being deposed?
Being a crown prince is a high-risk job. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang is alive, it is hard to say who will be the future emperor.

Just go and seek death. When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao become impatient, they will know what the wrath of the emperor and the wrath of the crown prince is.

As for Wang Guangyang, he is impartial and will be loyal to whoever is the emperor. This kind of minister is what the emperor likes.

Even if the new emperor doesn't like him, the worst that can happen is that he can retire and go home to enjoy his old age... Wang Guangyang has thought too clearly about his future plan.

Although Zhu Kai had never been to the court, he had no idea about what happened there.
Yingtian Prefecture has long been the home of Zhu Kai
Although Zhu Kai had never been to the court and had no interest in knowing what happened there, he lived in this kind of environment. Even if he didn't want to get involved or understand some things, there would always be some discussions around him that would unconsciously reach his ears. Even if Zhu Kai didn't want to know, he would be influenced by what he saw and heard.

But, what does that matter?

The ministers who were dancing happily in the court were all possessed of acting skills. Even at their old age, their acting skills were still like those of young hunks, as if they were afraid that others would not know they were acting. Zhu Kai felt very embarrassed watching them.

Zhu Kai simply chose to turn a blind eye to the barking of these court officials. A group of old men whose acting skills were comparable to those of young actors were not enough to cause an eye-catching sight.

What does Zhu Kai want to do?
Nothing else, just one thing: play.

It was no longer interesting to go out and play by himself. Zhu Kai was invincible in Yingtian Prefecture. The feeling of being invincible made him feel contemptuous when he saw his peers when he went out.

How can a bunch of scum be worthy of being my enemy?

Therefore, if you want to have fun in Yingtian Prefecture, you must start by cultivating your opponents. Only when your enemies become stronger can you have more fun.

Yes, it’s all about having fun.

What's the point of playing if there is no strong opponent?
In Yingtian Prefecture, almost everyone knows that Zhu Kai is the prince most favored by Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying. Zhu Kai wants to fight fairly with the other party. Does the other party dare to fight with him?
Zhu Kai is invincible in Yingtian Prefecture, which is inseparable from his identity. How is it possible for a child from an ordinary family to eat like a bear?
Therefore, in order to cultivate more "opponents" in Yingtian Prefecture, Zhu Kai has decided to start training those who are most likely to become "opponents".

Who is most likely?
Those stupid brothers of course!

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang are already old, and at the age when they are tough and unyielding, if they go to be fiefs in two years, it will be too late.

Therefore, Zhu Kai decided to train his opponents in advance to avoid being left with nothing to play with after they left.

To this end, Zhu Kai developed a series of growth plans for his younger brothers: study in the morning, physical training in the afternoon, and reading military strategies in the evening. He arranged their schedules clearly all day long.

The study workload these days is not very heavy.

Zhu Kai also has enough time to fold... to help his younger brothers grow.

As for going to Wenhua Hall to give lectures to his younger brothers, this is the happiest thing for Zhu Kai now.

Before, Song Lian was so angry that he fainted, and he went to Zhu Yuanzhang to complain, but in the end nothing happened.

He didn't get beaten, which meant he hadn't touched Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line, and he could jump back and forth near the bottom line at any time.

As long as you don’t get beaten, you can have fun!
……

The next day, an old teacher named Wang was giving a lecture. After Zhu Kai had eaten and drunk his fill, he came to the Wenhua Hall again.

Zhu Kai didn't know who the other person was. He only knew that he was an old scholar with great talent and prestige in the medical field.

Of course, he was able to become the teacher of the princes thanks to Song Lian’s recommendation.

The princes disliked this old Master Wang even more than they disliked Song Lian.

Song Lian was quite good at giving lectures. The princes were annoyed with him because he liked to complain. But Master Wang was different. He was not a good lecturer and was full of nonsense to show off his cultural knowledge. This was the most annoying thing about him.

However, the princes could not say anything because their cultural level was not high enough.

In the past, no matter which prince it was, they all disliked listening to his lectures, but now Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang seem to have turned over a new leaf, so their performance is still acceptable.

Zhu Kai and Zhu Di were the same. They could not concentrate on any lecture no matter whose class they were in. It might be better now. Zhu Di followed Xu Da and other generals to learn the art of war, which was exactly what Zhu Di liked.

Therefore, what children like to do most is what they want to do... For example, studying. Some people like to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and some people like to read the Art of War.

Of course, there were also people who changed, such as Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang, who turned to good deeds. Although they did not like reading, they thought that reading would be useful to them and to the governance of their fiefdoms in the future, so they endured their inner discomfort and tried their best to calm down and study.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang, the vassal kings who were determined to do good to the Ming Dynasty, wailed in their hearts after seeing Zhu Kai.

When we were not studying hard, Zhu Kai was not in Wenhua Hall at all. Now that we finally wanted to study hard, Zhu Kai had set his sights on Wenhua Hall for some reason and came to mess around all day. Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang could not help but feel extremely uncomfortable...

Why is it so difficult to study hard?
My dear second brother, can't you choose someone else to cause trouble?
Why do you always cause trouble for us brothers?

Combined with Zhu Kai's past misdeeds, Zhu Kai's sudden appearance in Wenhua Hall to cause trouble gave Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang reason to believe that he was targeting them.

Hateful!
Song Lian was so angry at Zhu Kai that he fell ill. When Old Master Wang saw Zhu Kai, he naturally had nothing good to say to him. He just sneered at Zhu Kai and said, "Your Highness the Second Prince wants to be a teacher and teach the princes?"

"No, I'm here to learn."

Zhu Kai said with a smile, and then changed the subject: "However, since you kindly invited me to give a lecture, that's fine. Come on... hand over the podium to me, and I'll give the lecture!"

"..."

Mr. Wang: When did I invite you?

It was obvious that there was still a gap between this old Master Wang and Song Lian. Provoked by Zhu Kai's words, he got angry and left Wenhua Hall in anger.

As for sitting down and listening to Zhu Kai's lecture like Song Lian, that was even more impossible. He simply couldn't do it.

Zhu Kai was happy. If his foolish brothers accepted his teachings, wouldn't they soar to the sky? Was his villain value rising?
"Today, Master Zhu will continue to give you lectures!"

Zhu Kai walked up to the podium and said happily to his brothers, "Now, let me teach you the rules of the school! From now on, before class, you all have to stand up and say hello to the teacher. Do you hear me?"

Zhu Di and his brothers cheered, while Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang looked as if they had lost their parents.

It’s confirmed. Zhu Kai came to Wenhua Hall just to satisfy his own sense of superiority.

……

"Your Majesty, I am old. Please allow me to leave and return home."

Master Wang left Wenhua Hall and went straight to Zhu Yuanzhang to say goodbye.

He didn't complain because it would be useless as Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't listen.

Even Song Lian’s complaint was useless, so what was he?
Farewell?

Resigning from old age and returning home?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even ask, and directly agreed: "Oh, okay."

Since you want to retire and return home, go back.

Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't need this old scholar who talks about all kinds of things and morality. Since he wants to go back, then let him go back.

Mr. Wang thought that no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang did, he would ask him the reason for retiring, so he thought of retreating to advance, and then take the opportunity of Zhu Yuanzhang asking him the reason to sue Zhu Kai. But he never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even ask and agreed directly.

This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang already knew the reason for his resignation, and for the purpose of protecting Zhu Kai, he agreed directly.

Old Master Wang was a man of integrity. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, he snorted coldly and turned away.

A prince who is so stubborn and unrepentant, an emperor who cannot distinguish right from wrong and only cares about his son but doesn't care about the rest of the world... Does such a dynasty still have a future?
Just leave!

Master Wang got so angry that he didn't even care about Zhu Yuanzhang's identity and left angrily.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he seemed not to care whether Master Wang left or not. He continued to do his own thing as if he had never existed.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not even take the Confucius Temple, which was worshipped by Master Wang, seriously, let alone a mere Master Wang?

I don't take it seriously at all.

His sons were very capable and Comrade Zhu was not at all panicked. He believed that after breaking the existing Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang could establish a new Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was very sure that he had this confidence, but the literati who stood against him might not have this confidence.

As for Zhu Kai teaching his younger brothers, just let him go. Can he teach his younger brothers bad things?

Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma Xiuying and Zhu Biao all knew how much Zhu Kai took care of his younger brothers.

……

In the morning lecture, I started with the rules. As princes, they did not follow the rules. Anyway, the rules were set by their Zhu family. In the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Kai did not exist, Zhu Yuanzhang had no problem with slow slicing Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang for what they did, but in the end, wasn't he fine?
However, it was different when Zhu Kai taught the princes. He was also a prince, and it was only appropriate for him to teach his younger brothers to abide by the rules.

If someone else taught the princes the rules, they might despise them and then rebel, but now Zhu Kai is teaching them, and he seems very interesting. The princes all find it novel and think that Zhu Kai has brought them a fun and interesting experience.

After learning the rules for a while in the morning, Zhu Kai announced that classes would continue in the afternoon.

In the past, the princes only needed to attend classes in the morning and rely entirely on their own initiative to study in the afternoon, but Zhu Kai is different, you have to study all day long.

Younger ones don’t have to learn it, but from the sixth child Zhu Su and above, everyone has to learn it for a full day.

If it were any other time, Zhu Di would have exploded when he heard that he had to attend classes all day and even study at night. But it was different now. The one teaching him was Zhu Kai, his most admired second brother. Not to mention studying for a whole day, he would be willing to follow Zhu Kai even if he had to stay up for twelve hours.

As for Xu Da... who is Xu Da? Is there Zhu Kaixiang?
However, the afternoon training was rather boring. Zhu Kai brought out the military management he used in school and disciplined his stupid younger brothers so much that they were unwilling to move a finger.

Zhu Kai's understanding of the military can't be said to be superficial, because before he became a crew member, he was under militarized management in college, and the instructor who led them was also a retired veteran. He knew some things about the military.

But even this part is ahead of the current Ming Dynasty!

Hu Weiyong was about to leave Yingtian Prefecture, so he pushed Xu Da to the position of prime minister, giving him the title of left prime minister, a position above Wang Guangyang.

Who made Xu Da the first meritorious minister in the founding of the Ming Dynasty?

But Xu Da also knew that as prime minister, he could not handle any government affairs at all, and he still had to focus his work on military management. Of course, he now had an additional task: to teach Zhu Di.

In the afternoon, Xu Da arrived at the military camp, but Zhu Di, who usually came very early, did not come today. Xu Da did not think much of it, but Zhu Di did not come for three consecutive days.

"This boy is of no use!"

This is Xu Da's evaluation of Zhu Di. Zhu Di had shown that he was very interested in military affairs before, but what could he do if he was interested? He stopped learning after two days.

If he continued to work for three days and rest for two days like this, Zhu Di would never be able to grow into a qualified vassal king and would not be able to defend the borders for the Ming Dynasty.

The father is a hero, but the son is a bear.

Xu Da couldn't help but sigh that the nine sons of the dragon were all different, but after thinking about this, Xu Da also laughed.

If every prince was as outstanding as Zhu Kai or Zhu Biao, then it would be the turn of the ministers to worry.

After all, it’s not good for the prince to be too outstanding, as it will cause great panic.

Zhu Di...let him go, the northern border of the Ming Dynasty is guarded by Zhu Kai!
Thinking of Zhu Kai sweeping across the northern border and being unstoppable in killing enemies he encountered...Xu Da couldn't help but get excited.

If I had a son, I would hope he would be like the Second Prince!
If I had a son, I would hope he would be like the Second Prince!
Xu Da knew that his son had no chance to become a military commander as outstanding as Zhu Kai, but this most outstanding rising star was his son-in-law!

Xu Da thought it was beautiful.

The place where Xu Da trained Zhu Di was in the military camp in the imperial city. Thinking of Zhu Kai, he couldn't help but ask the people around him: "What is the second prince doing now?"

With Xu Da was the palace guard commander Guo Ying. Upon hearing Xu Da's question, Guo Ying said, "The Second Prince is playing in the military camp of the Imperial Palace with the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Princes, as well as some palace tutors and good family boys. The Second Prince said he wanted to train an invincible army and cultivate grassroots officers. Your son, Duke of Wei, is also with him."

When speaking, Guo Ying did not hide anything, nor did he take Zhu Kai's beautiful vision of leading an invincible army seriously. In his opinion, an invincible army is trained on the battlefield and fought through a series of major battles.

What kind of elite can be produced through training?
After hearing what Guo Ying said, Xu Da did not take Zhu Kai's training of troops seriously. In his opinion, Zhu Kai had never read military books and was not qualified to be a general. Moreover, Zhu Kai was like a bear, and his martial arts value was the best in the Ming army. It was most appropriate for him to be a general who charged at the front.

He was training the troops... probably because he couldn't find anything fun to do in Yingtian Prefecture, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying wouldn't let him go out, so he took his brother, the palace tutors, and the girls from good families to have fun, right?

Forget it, let them go and have fun.

Xu Da didn't take it seriously. He handled some official business in the military camp and chatted with Guo Ying for a while. He felt very comfortable living like this.

His original mission was to cultivate Zhu Di's military talents. Now that the main person was not coming, Xu Da went off work early and went home.

Xu Miaoyun is about to get married. As the head of the family, Xu Da naturally has to prepare a dowry for his daughter. Xu Miaoyun is very outstanding and manages the household in an orderly manner at a young age. Zhu Kai also trusts Xu Miaoyun very much and entrusts his business to Xu Miaoyun for management. Xu Miaoyun handles it very well.

Zhu Kai is a good boy and a hero. Xu Da believes that if Xu Miaoyun marries Zhu Kai, his daughter will not suffer any grievances.

It's probably because of Zhu Kai's immature personality... Never mind, a child's temper is a child's temper. If Zhu Kai was as calm and steady as Zhu Biao, Xu Da would still not be at ease marrying Xu Miaoyun to Zhu Kai.

When I got home, my eldest daughter Xu Miaoyun was not there, and neither were Xu Huizu and Xu Yingxu. My youngest son Xu Zengshou was sleeping, and the house seemed empty.

The youngest daughter, Xu Miaojin, had a smile on her face and dimples on her cheeks as she looked at Xu Da who had just returned home: "Dad, you came back so early, you didn't want to steal the roast goose, did you? Let me tell you... my sister has already told us not to give you the roast goose, saying that this was an order from the Second Prince, and that if anyone dared to steal the roast goose for you, tell the Second Prince and let him punish them."

Xu Da stepped forward and scratched Xu Miaojin's nose: "My daughter, you are daddy's little cotton-padded jacket. I love you the most."

"Don't give me that. Dad loves my sister the most."

Xu Miaojin thought Xu Da was lying to her, so she didn't fall for it at all: "Dad, you recruited the greatest hero in the world to be my sister's husband, unlike me... I have nothing."

"..."

Xu Da didn't know what to say. He couldn't let both of his daughters marry Zhu Kai. "Don't worry, daughter. When you grow up, dad will find you a better husband."
