Because the Lantern Festival had just passed, the entire palace still had a festive atmosphere.
Zhu Biao was instructing Yu 'er and Tuan' er to help him pack his clothes for the expedition when his second brother, third brother, and fourth brother, Zhu Di, rushed into his Spring Palace.
"Big brother, can you teach us how to make sky lanterns again?”
"Yes, yes, yes. I want one too. I also want to write my name on it. Then, the Kongming Lantern will fly all the way to the moon.”
Zhu Xiong and Zhu Xiong shouted when they saw Zhu Biao.
Zhu Di pursed his lips. He did not want to be associated with these two childish brothers.
However, he also wanted to look at the Kongming Lantern again. This thing could fly without wings. It was simply amazing! Brother Crown Prince was Brother Crown Prince after all. He was indeed the chosen heir to the throne. He could actually make such a magical thing.
Also, these two elder brothers were too indecent. They didn't even bow when they saw the Crown Prince.
"Zhu Di greets the Crown Prince!" After Zhu Lao Si bowed to Zhu Biao, he glared at Zhu Xi and frowned,""Second Brother, Third Brother, have you two forgotten how to salute?”
Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi were so angry that they almost beat Zhu Di up. They muttered,"Fourth Bro, you're just full of shit. Big Bro hasn't said anything yet!”Although he was complaining, he still bowed to Zhu Biao obediently.
Zhu Biao smiled at Zhu Di. Ever since the last conversation in the inner garden, this kid had become his protector. Sometimes, he was even a little paranoid.
He stretched out his hand and knocked on Zhu Rong's head. He laughed and scolded,""Third Brother, you actually want to use the Kongming Lantern to seduce the fairy Chang'e from the sky. How old are you? You're only ten years old and you're already thinking about women? He'll definitely be a lecher in the future!"
Zhu Xiong rubbed his head and giggled." I read that Chang'e is beautiful, so I want to see her. Big brother, don't tell mother!"”
Zhu Rong said disdainfully," Don't be angry, Big Brother. Third Brother is only this good. You should make Kong Ming Lantern for me first. It's fine if Third Brother doesn't have time. Anyway, he doesn't have any good sh * t!"”
Zhu Rong was not convinced." Big brother, Zhu Rong is the one who's not holding back. He told me that he's going to use the Kongming Lantern you made to carry a pile of shit up to the gods in the sky!"”
Zhu Biao looked at his second brother, Zhu Xi, speechlessly. So this was where he had become so listless. He flicked his finger on his head, causing Zhu Xi to grimace in pain.
Ever since Zhu Biao had made Kong Ming Lanterns for his sisters-in-law on the night of the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, these kids had been pestering him to make Kong Ming Lanterns every day, making him extremely annoyed.
He had no choice. Who asked him to be the big brother? He could only get Wang Zhong to prepare the materials and make another one before sending Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi away.
The two kids were still not satisfied. Zhu Xiong muttered,""Big brother, are you making one for me or for third brother?”
Zhu Biao thought of something and said gently,"Isn't this easy? Second, you can put what you want to put. Let Third write his name on it. The two of us won't delay each other!”
Zhu Rong's eyes widened when he heard that. He was so anxious that he was about to cry."No, no, if I do this, the gods in the sky will think that I, Zhu Rong, pooped!”
Zhu Di held his stomach and laughed so hard that he almost fell to the ground.
Zhu Di laughed for a while before he suddenly became serious."Brother Crown Prince, can you tell Imperial Father that I also want to go to war with you?”
"Oh?" Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes. Fourth Brother also wanted to study in the army?”
"Yes!" Zhu Di nodded heavily." Brother Crown Prince, didn't you say that you want to make me a general in the future and let me lead troops to conquer the world for you?" Brother Crown Prince, I've always wanted to ask, where is the world? Was it the Western Regions? Or Jiaozhi in the south?"
"The world is all the continents that are further west than the Western Region, further south than Jiaozhi, further north than Mongolia, and further east than Japan. There are dozens of countries on that continent.”Zhu Biao explained while pondering in his heart. He didn't expect that Fourth Brother would take his joke seriously. To be honest, he was a little touched.
"Fourth Brother, you're still young. We'll talk about this in a few years!”
Zhu Biao was very conflicted about this problem. Originally, he planned to vigorously cultivate Zhu Di's political ability, but he would never let him touch the military. Because the other party's identity was a little sensitive, it was better not to give him any military power just in case. However, this kid was able to successfully quell the disaster, which meant that he must be quite talented in military affairs. It would be a pity not to use him.
After playing with these kids for a while, Zhu Biao finally packed up his luggage. After thinking for a while, he leaned on the desk and began to write a memorial.
Two days later, the army gathered outside the Hongwu Gate. At first glance, they were covered in shiny black armor. At the very front, a yellow flag embroidered with the word "Ming" fluttered in the wind.
The 200,000 soldiers stood straight, silent and somber.
The first three people were all riding tall horses. The owner of the horse on the left was obviously not old, and he was also shorter than the others. He was wearing golden armor, and the size of the armor was very fitting. It was obvious that it was specially tailored for him.
This person was naturally the Crown Prince, Zhu Biao.
The owners of the middle and right warhorses were Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. Both of them were clad in black armor, and they looked majestic and powerful on their horses.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the city gate and said loudly,""Soldiers of Great Ming, go and chop off Emperor Yuan Shun's head for us. We want to use his head to make a chamber pot! Tell me, can you do it?”
The 200,000 people roared,""Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Zhu Biao thought to himself,'The Emperor's father's words just now were simply too inspiring!
"Good! I've heard your answers, and I'll wait for your triumphant return! Let's go!" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao from above, his eyes filled with anticipation and worry.
As the commander-in-chief, Xu Da raised the commander's seal in his hand."Generals, listen up! Move out!"
