Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 71

Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang left, King Zhu Bai of Xiang came to see him.
Zhu Bo was three years older than Zhu Xiongying, and he usually studied in the university hall, so he was very popular with those university scholars.At such a young age, his studies and martial arts are among the best among the princes, especially his handwriting is very good, and he has the demeanor of a master, which won the praise of all the Hanlin scholars.

In history, he, the king of Hunan, was also quite famous after he became a vassal.Be sincere and filial, and abide by the law in the fiefdom.

However, it just ended badly.Saddened by Zhu Yunwen's persecution, he did not want to be humiliated.After burning his wives and concubines, he put on the prince's robes, rode his horse into the sea of ​​fire with a bow and arrow in his hands and burned himself to death.

It was expected that he came to see Zhu Biao. He is the grandson of Hu Mei, Marquis of Linchuan, and he has many contacts with the Hu family on weekdays.

"Brother!" Zhu Bo cried.

Zhu Biao sat on the throne, buried in the memorial, without lifting his head.On the side, under Zhen Buyi's service, Zhu Xiongying wrote big characters stroke by stroke.

"Brother!" Zhu Bo shouted a little louder, aggrieved.

Zhu Biao raised his head from the memorial, looked at him, and snorted, "What does the majestic prince look like crying?"

"Brother is right!" Zhu Bo wiped away his tears and said solemnly.

"Hey!" Zhu Biao sighed, threw the memorial on the table, and said, "Have you heard?"

What he said, of course, was about the Marquis of Linchuan.

"My younger brother heard about it, so I came here to beg you!" Zhu Bo said, "My younger brother also knows that he offended the emperor."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Biao interrupted, "Who asked you to come?"

Zhu Bo paused, and looked at Zhu Biao timidly, "No one asked my younger brother to come, it was my younger brother who washed his face with tears when he saw his mother and concubine, so..."

Immediately, Zhu Biao frowned, his eyes extremely dissatisfied.

"Brother, after all, the Marquis of Linchuan is the mother clan of my younger brother!" Zhu Bo continued to plead, "Among the nobles, the Hu family has never been very public. This time, I committed an offense. My younger brother is bold, please help me!"

On the side, Zhu Xiongying, who had been practicing calligraphy in a regular manner, suddenly stopped writing, looked at Zhu Biao's face, and there was a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Zhu Bo slipped the tongue, his mother and concubine must have asked him to come!"

Zhu Xiongying secretly thought that the dissatisfaction on Zhu Biao's face was not because his younger brother came to intercede, but because his younger brother was instigated by his mother and concubine.

It can't be said to be instigation, strictly speaking, it should be Zhu Bo's mother and concubine who specially asked Zhu Bo to come to beg Zhu Biao.

The old man has long established the rules that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.Concubine Hu Shun, Zhu Bo's biological mother, couldn't talk too much about such matters, let alone intervene.But in order to protect his father, he let his son stand out.

Although Concubine Hu Shun's move was somewhat justifiable because of her relatives, she did not know that she had included her son and Prince Zhu Biao in the calculation.

This kind of calculation is really uncomfortable.

Sure enough, Zhu Biao immediately said in a bad tone, "Who asked you to come? Tell the truth!"

Zhu Bo hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It was the younger brother who saw the mother and concubine crying, and only found out after questioning!"

"You are filial!" Zhu Biao still said in a stern tone, "You know how to speak up for others!"

These words made Zhu Bo bow his head, none of the children of the royal family is a fool, and they all have a delicate heart.

"Sit down and talk!" Zhu Biao said again.

"Thank you bro!"

"How do you ask me to help?" After Zhu Bo sat down, Zhu Biao said again, "I released the old man as soon as he ordered it to be locked up? What do you think of as your elder brother? What is the edict of being the old man?"

"Your brother has no such intentions!" Zhu Bo stood up quickly in fright, and said fearfully.

"I know you don't mean that, but if you come to beg me, even if you don't mean it, what do others think?" Zhu Biao said again, "Besides, even if I help you now, in the future, if other royal brothers' mother clans commit crimes, I will help you." Do you want to cover it too?"

"Your brother dare not!" Zhu Bo said hastily.

"Sit down and talk!" Zhu Biao said in a slower tone, "Zhen Buyi serves tea to the orphaned twelfth younger brother, and then wipes his face with a hot towel!" As he spoke, he glared at Zhu Bo, "You too It’s not too small, don’t you understand the principle of thinking twice before acting? Besides, you are a prince, and you wipe your tears when you encounter something, what does it look like?”

Zhu Bo showed some gratitude on his face, and wiped away the tears on his face under the eunuch's service.

"I know that Marquis Linchuan is your mother's family. It's good for you to care about the family relationship, but you have to divide the occasion and the matter!" Zhu Biao sighed slightly, and said, "Do you know what he committed?"

"Chen brother, I have heard a little bit!" Zhu Bo said with his face flushed.

"It's good to know!" Zhu Biao said, "The old man is annoyed by this kind of thing the most, bullying goodness and running amok! In these years, are there still few nobles in Beijing who have stumbled because of this kind of thing?" Said, "If you don't slap your face, you don't know it hurts. You don't know how to behave normally. If something happens, you will be hurt!"

"If my brother is concerned, he will be in chaos!" Zhu Bo said, "When I heard my mother say that the Marquis of Linchuan was ordered to be imprisoned by Jin Yiwei, I panicked!"

"What are you panicking about? Will you die if you enter the Imperial Prison?" Zhu Biao gave him a white look, "Isn't he committing a major crime of treason?" Speaking of this, he sighed slightly, "You, you, your ears are too soft , the heart is too kind. If you don't change your temperament, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later!"

Zhu Bo lowered his head and remained silent.

"Be calm in everything!" Later, Zhu Biao continued, "Even if you want to intercede with him, you have to wait for a few days. When the old man's anger subsides, you let me speak so rashly. Adding fuel to the fire?"

Zhu Bo nodded, only to hear Zhu Biao say again, "The old man adds fuel to the fire, I'm fine. But think about it, if the old man knew it was you, listened to what he said, and rushed to ask me for help, what would he think? you?"

"Let's go deeper, I know who told you to come, do you think the old man doesn't know?"

"According to the old man's temper, can it make her feel better?"

Suddenly, Zhu Bo felt like sitting on pins and needles.

"Big brother, younger brother"

"Okay, okay, no need to explain!" Zhu Biao said, "Remember, if there is anything going on in the future, don't get overwhelmed, and stand up regardless of the seriousness." As he spoke, he said earnestly, "If you are really in a hurry, come and ask Ask me if I can make it? When it comes to your mother clan, no matter how impatient I am, I will look at your face and mediate. You and I are brothers, who will I help if I don’t help you?"

"But you came here so straight, and just opened your mouth to ask me to help. If I don't help, it will hurt your heart, if I help you, it will hurt you, and it will make the old man annoy you, which is even less good for Linchuanhou, don't you think? "

"What elder brother said is that it is my younger brother who is not thinking about it!" Zhu Bo thought about it, and said seriously, "My younger brother will remember elder brother's teachings!"

"What kind of teaching is not teaching!" Zhu Biao laughed, "You are my younger brother. If an older brother gives advice to his younger brother, what kind of teaching is it?"

Zhu Bo hesitated again, and said, "Then, big brother, what are you going to do with the Marquis of Linchuan? You and my younger brother have a clear understanding, and my younger brother knows what's in his heart, so he can feel at ease. Otherwise, he will after all."
