The King of Yan, Zhu Di, was the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang and also Zhu Xi's brother.
However, Zhu Di was different from him. Although the two brothers were born from the same mother,
However, Zhu Di was raised by Empress Ma since he was young, while Zhu Wei was sent to the knees of Noble Consort Sun to fulfill his filial piety.
Zhu Rong naturally knew that his fourth brother was the future Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
The two brothers also hit it off quite well.
In terms of giving Emperor Zhu a headache, Zhu Xi was the first and Zhu Di was the second.
"I'm here to see my brother, so why can't I go in?”
"It's true that the Crown Prince grounded him, but he didn't go out. Didn't he say that no one was allowed to see him?”
"Besides, I'm empty-handed and didn't give anything to my brother. What are you afraid of?”
"Go away, go away. If you don't go, I'll draw my sword!”
Zhu Rong heard the noise outside the door clearly.
He smiled. This fourth brother of his was indeed not easy to deal with. Under his coaxing and pestering, the guard could only helplessly let him in.
"Fourth Brother!"
"Fifth Brother!"
After Zhu Xi and Zhu Di greeted each other,
Zhu Di turned his head to look at the door and whispered,
"Fifth brother, you're really ruthless!"
"You can even get out of the Imperial City. I, Fourth Brother, am not convinced of anyone else except for Big Brother.”
"I also want to go outside the palace gate to take a look!”
Zhu Xi chuckled and ignored Zhu Di's words.
Zhu Di saw that his younger brother was not fooled and laughed.
"Don't believe what Big Brother says. How could he let you starve?”
"However, you'll have to suffer for the next month. I wonder if you can take it if you don't smell meat for a month?”
"Why don't Fourth Brother help you think of a way?”
Zhu Xi rolled his eyes at Zhu Di. In fact, he knew what his fourth brother was up to the moment he came over.
"Fourth Brother, don't beat around the bush. Let's get straight to the point!”
"I can't hide it from Fifth Brother. I'm just envious of you leaving the palace and asking you for advice.”
"I wonder what Fourth Brother wants to do outside?”
Zhu Rong walked towards his own little field at a moderate pace.
"Fourth Brother, I'm just going out to take a look!"
"Is that so?"
Seeing that Zhu Di was still unwilling to tell the truth, Zhu Xi glanced at him and said,"
"Don't tell me Fourth Brother wants to leave the palace and secretly follow the Northern Expedition Army?”
Zhu Di was shocked and blurted out,"
"Fifth brother, how did you know?"
Did he not tell anyone about his little thoughts?
Zhu Di was instantly convinced by his fifth brother.
Everyone knew that the fifth son of the Zhu family was the prince who made people worry the most.
However, as a member of the Zhu family, especially Zhu Di, who was on good terms with Zhu Xiong, he knew that his younger brother was not simple.
Being a silkpants and having no ability were two different things.
In fact, the five sons of the Zhu family were not ordinary people.
Not to mention that he had copper skin and iron bones, his father's punishment was nothing to him.
Even in terms of wisdom, Zhu Di felt that he was inferior to Fifth Brother.
However, he didn't know what was wrong with Fifth Brother. He knew how to hide his strength and refused to do anything…
Other than him, his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, could see a thing or two, but no one else could.
Otherwise, he would have caused so much trouble, and the censorate's censors would have piled up his books.
Nothing had happened to him even now?
Zhu Xi rolled his eyes at Zhu Di. This fourth brother was still a little immature.
Who didn't know what he was thinking?
"Fourth Brother, you keep holding on to the military book all day long, shouting that you want to make contributions and defend the country!”
"Now that the northern expedition is imminent, and you're thinking of leaving the palace, isn't it easy to guess?”
"But it's not that I don't want to help you. I just suffered fifty strokes from my father. If I get involved in your matters again, I'll be skinned alive!”
"Besides, it shouldn't be difficult for you to go north. After you get married, you can talk to your father-in-law yourself!”
"Marriage? Father-in-law?"
Zhu Di was shocked. Where did this marriage come from?
Zhu Rong said,"
"The emperor has launched the northern expedition, but the position of marshal has not been announced yet. Why?”
"Because Imperial Father's choice of candidate, Uncle Xu Da, is already a high official and can't be conferred. However, the Northern Expedition Marshal's Seal has to be in his hands!”
"What can Imperial Father do? Other than bestowing marriage with the Xu family, what else can he do?”
"Congratulations, Fourth Brother. You're going to have a good wife soon!”
Zhu Xi bowed to Zhu Di.
When he heard that he was going to be betrothed, Zhu Di's face darkened.
He was a rebellious person. How could he stand an arranged marriage?
"No, Fourth Brother, even if Imperial Father wants to bestow a marriage, you, me, and Third Brother are all around the same age as the eldest daughter of the Xu family. How can it be me?”
"In terms of seniority, there's still Third Brother's unmarried marriage!”
"In terms of opportunities, we brothers are all equal!”
"How would I know? It's written in history. She's your wife to begin with…"
Zhu Rong rolled his eyes secretly. He had already thought of an excuse for Zhu Di's doubts.
"Because this marriage is essentially because Father feels that he owes Uncle Xu compensation. There are three of us brothers. First of all, do you think it's possible for me?”
"If Old Zhu dares to bestow a marriage, then I dare to marry him!”
"The question is, does Imperial Father dare?"
When Zhu Di heard this, he almost laughed out loud.
After Zhu Rong's reminder, he indeed felt that Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't dare.
With Fifth Brother's reputation, if any of the officials in the Ming Dynasty knew that the Emperor had arranged for the Fifth Prince to marry, the entire family would probably not be able to sleep tonight. They would sigh and sigh at their daughter's bitter life.
Zhu Yuanzhang's marriage was to show mercy to Xu Da.
It was not to force Xu Da to rebel.
Zhu Rong would definitely be excluded from the list.
"Hahaha, Fifth Brother is right!”
"But why do you think it's me and Third Brother?”
Zhu Rong smiled and said,"
"It's also because this is Shien's Xu family!”
"Compared to third brother and fourth brother, little brother thinks fourth brother is better!”
"Fourth brother is at most mischievous, but third brother is tyrannical…"
"If I were that girl from the Xu family, I would also choose Fourth Brother!”
" D * mn, Fifth Brother, I don't want to be betrothed. You must help me…"
Zhu Di grabbed Zhu Rong's hand, his face pale…
Virtue ~
Zhu Rong rolled his eyes.
