The King of Qin, Zhu Xi, was dumbfounded. Xi'an belonged to Ninth Brother?
Zhu Rong had never expected that he would be 'captured' by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and brought back to the Ying Tian Prefecture the moment he returned to Xi'an Prefecture from the Ying Tian Prefecture!
He had also asked the Jinyiwei about it, but no one had told him what was going on!
In fact, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao knew the inside story!
Helplessly, Zhu Rong could only resign himself to fate and return to the Ying Tian Manor, kneeling before Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Imperial Father, your son knows his mistake. Didn't you promise to let your son return to his fief?”
"Your son promises to repent from now on!”
"Please at least look at Big Brother…Eh…Big Brother, are you alright?”
When Zhu Rong saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he started to act like a prodigal son who had turned over a new leaf. However, he soon noticed Zhu Biao, who was standing beside him as if nothing had happened. At this moment, this good big brother was looking at him with a faint smile!
Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately darkened!
"What do you mean your brother is fine? Are you still hoping that something will happen to him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's angry shout immediately frightened Zhu Rong and he hurriedly shook his head to explain!
"Alright, Imperial Father, don't scare Second Brother!”
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and tried to smooth things over.
"Humph! This good-for-nothing thing was scared to death!”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly. Although he said that, he really wanted Zhu Rong to die. He would not summon him back!
"Big brother…you're already fine?”
Zhu Rong's attention was on Zhu Biao. He remembered that before he returned to Xi'an, he had gone to the Eastern Palace to thank Zhu Biao for pleading for mercy!
At that time, Zhu Biao was already terminally ill. He estimated that Boss would not live for long!
But now…
"It's not considered good. It's just that I'm struggling to survive. I can live for a while longer!”
"Thanks to Ninth Brother, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to see us!”
Zhu Biao shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Ninth Brother?"
When Zhu Xiong heard this, his eyes widened!
What did this have to do with Ninth Brother?
Could it be that Boss's illness was cured by Ninth Brother?
"Alright, I called you back because I have something important to tell you!”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't plan to waste any more time talking to Zhu Rong. He was ready to get straight to the point!
"So Imperial Father didn't go back on his word and want to punish your son?”
When Zhu Xiong heard this, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Who said we won't punish you? I've decided to move your fief immediately!”
"Don't go back to Xi'an. Prepare to move directly to Xinyang Prefecture!”
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him, and his next words stunned Zhu Rong!
What the hell?
Move fief?
Or move from Xi'an to Xinyang?
How could a small place like Xinyang be compared to an ancient capital like Xi'an?
Moreover, he was the dignified King of Qin. What was the matter with moving his fief to Xinyang?
"Father, are you joking?”
Zhu Xiong was dumbfounded!
"Look at me, I'm free. I'm joking with you?”
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and sounded impatient!
"But…Father, Xi'an is an important city. If your son isn't here, who else can guard Xi'an?”
Zhu Rong immediately became anxious!
"You really have the nerve to flatter yourself? Can you defend Xi'an just because you're here? What has Xi'an become under your rule?”
"If this goes on, we won't wait for the Tartars to attack. The people will be boiling with resentment and will destroy your King Qin's Mansion!”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted in anger.
This was definitely not an exaggeration. If he did not know what was going to happen in three years, even the Second Prince would have been poisoned to death by the three women!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Rong's face was filled with embarrassment. He could only look pitifully at Crown Prince Zhu Biao, hoping that this good brother would help him plead for mercy!
"Second brother, this time you should listen to father's arrangements!”
Zhu Biao also sighed helplessly!
"This…why is this happening?”
Zhu Rong didn't expect that even his big brother, who had always doted on him, would stand on the old man's side. He immediately revealed a look of despair!
"Don't you know what you've done?”
"I'm afraid that if you stay in Xi'an, you won't even know how you died!”
"You can either obediently go to Xinyang Prefecture and become a vassal, or you can directly return to your hometown in Fengyang and guard the ancestral mausoleum for us!”
"As for Xi'an, after you leave, I'll hand it over to Ninth Brother to take care of. You don't have to worry about it anymore!”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give him any room to bargain!
"Ninth Brother?"
"Father, you…"
When Zhu Xiong heard this, he almost jumped up!
He originally wanted to say, Father, are you old and muddle-headed?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp gaze made him swallow the second half of his words!
"Alright, second brother, stop talking. Hurry up and thank me!”
Zhu Biao winked at Zhu Rong, meaning that he would agree first and the brothers would talk about it in private!
Although Zhu Rong was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang when he saw him like this. He was also afraid that he would really be sent back to Fengyang to guard the ancestral mausoleum. That would be really troublesome!
Seeing that Zhu Rong had agreed, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression eased up a lot.
"Big brother, what exactly happened?”
"It's fine if Imperial Father wants us to move our fief, but why should Xi'an Prefecture be given to Ninth Brother?”
As soon as they left the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, Zhu Xiong could not help but complain to Zhu Biao!
"Not to Ninth Brother, but to let Ninth Brother temporarily take charge of military affairs!”
"In this aspect, you're not as good as him. Don't argue with us!”
Zhu Biao's words rendered Zhu Xiong speechless!
In terms of military ability, he was really no match for Ninth Brother!
It was also because of Zhu Biao's guidance that Zhu Xiong could only accept this result no matter how unwilling he was!
He knew that since the old man had already made his decision, it was not something he could change!
Zhu Yuanzhang heaved a sigh of relief after settling the matter of his second son, Zhu Xi!
He hoped that this second brother would learn his lesson this time and change all his bad habits when he arrived at Suncreed Prefecture!
"Your Majesty, Hanzhong sent people over. They even sent some bottles and jars. They said they were some condiments!”
At this moment, Jiang He entered the royal study and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Hmm? Seasonings?"
"What is this Ninth Brother doing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, but he could not stop his curiosity and hurriedly asked someone to come up!
That night, Zhu Yuanzhang brought Zhu Biao to Fengtian Hall to eat with him.
"Imperial Father, why don't I see Second Brother? Aren't you going to ask him to come along?"
Zhu Biao asked curiously when he saw that he was the only one there.
"Why did you call that brat? Come and take a look. These are all sent over from Hanzhong by Old Nine. This is fermented bean curd and this is chili sauce. I heard that only Hanzhong can make them!”
"According to Ninth Brother, this thing can be used as a seasoning for dishes and can also treat colds. There will definitely be no problem if you eat it!”
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the bottles and jars on the table and explained to Zhu Biao.
