"Hahaha!"
"As expected of our good son."
"He has such courage.”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the Great Ming Palace, looked at the report of the 800-mile emergency march with admiration in his eyes. As expected of his most trusted second son, Zhu He, and Zhu Biao's capable assistant in the future. He was able to bring glory to the Great Ming Dynasty!
"Father."
"My second brother is invincible!"
"He defeated tens of thousands of troops under Haozhou City and can be called the overlord!”
Zhu Biao no longer had his usual courtesy. His eyes flashed with excitement. He seemed to have seen the young man in white robes and silver armor under Haozhou City with a spear and a gall. He had turned the oars into ashes with a snap of his fingers!
He had finally become a general today!
Sweeping away the number one brave general of Northern Yuan!
No, no, no flowers!
With the strength of an absolute overlord, he could kill powerful enemies and display the might of the Ming Dynasty!
"Second Brother will definitely be your right-hand man in the future.”
"You brothers mustn't have any trouble.”
Zhu Yuanzhang motioned for the eunuch to close the door of the Great Ming Palace, leaving only the father and son. He then looked at Zhu Biao and sighed softly,"Biao 'er, father wants to ask you something. If one day, your second brother wants to fight with you for the throne, what will you do?”
As soon as he said that.
Waves rose from the flat ground!
Like a thunderclap, it exploded in Zhu Biao's ears!
"Second brother will not fight for the throne with his son.”
"I can also promise you."
"If there comes a day when Second Brother wants to fight for the throne, I will not let you go.”
"Biao 'er has a clear conscience."
"I'm willing to hand it over."
"If my Great Ming can become better because of this, if my Great Ming can be immortal, I, Zhu Biao, can also become the Great Ming King!”
Zhu Biao's eyes were clear and did not contain a trace of murkiness. He was the Crown Prince of Great Ming, the heir to the throne of a country, but he also had another identity, which was that of an elder brother and that of a son.
If Zhu Rong could really do better than him, Zhu Biao, then he would be able to do a better job.
A mere throne.
How could it compare to brotherhood?
It's bright here.
There was an incredible power.
Even if they were not born in a clan, they would not compromise with a clan!
They truly had a strong brotherly bond.
This was a miracle that had never happened in the past dynasties!
"Great Ming has you two sons and will prosper for eternity!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a deep sigh and endless relief. He was most afraid that his brother and father would turn against each other for the throne, so he had always followed the ancient system. Even if Zhu Biao had made a big mistake, he would forgive him kindly. Even if Zhu Biao wanted to usurp the throne, he would give it to his son to break the heart of the vassal king and to stop the fight for the throne.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart had already wavered. Although his eldest son was outstanding, his second son was also not bad. They were both his sons and the hope of his Zhu family.
And this same topic.
Zhu Yuanzhang had also talked to Zhu Rong before. If Zhu Rong was willing, he could become the Crown Prince. As the heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty, this was not a test. This was also the expectation of his father. However, Zhu Rong did not hesitate at all, just like Zhu Biao. Not only did he reject Zhu Yuanzhang, but he also personally went to Shandong to quell the rebellion. He wanted his brother Zhu Biao to establish his prestige.
Just like what Zhu Xi had said that day.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to maintain his prestige as the older brother, he would also be an older brother who doted on his younger brother.
Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to be a good second brother to his younger brothers who loved him so much before he became the emperor!
But he couldn't!
Since the royal family was in the order of the eldest son, he would have to take his eldest brother Zhu Biao as the leader.
He wanted his foolish younger brothers to understand that as the vassal kings, they should not act rashly. The number one king of the Ming Dynasty was still pressing down on them. At least before he died, he could press them until they could not breathe!
That was enough.
"Father."
"I can feel Second Brother's feelings.”
"His ambition is on the grasslands. He wants to complete the grand feat of the champion, Huo Qubing. He is not interested in your position.”
Zhu Biao's eyes didn't change at all. He clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves. His body was indeed in good condition, but he felt a little uneasy. His spirit didn't seem to be as vigorous as before. This wasn't fatigue that came with age.
It was like a disease.
This was because Zhu Biao had a strong premonition that he might not be able to ascend to the throne. In that case, the only person who could inherit the throne was his second brother, Zhu Xi!
His son couldn't!
The other younger brothers couldn't either!
Only Zhu Xi could ascend to the highest position in the Ming Dynasty and become an emperor on horseback comparable to the Champion Marquis Huo Qubing.
"Father."
"Your son is using your son's identity.”
"I would like to ask Imperial Father to agree. If one day, Biao 'er unfortunately dies, please make my second brother the crown prince and inherit the throne.”
Zhu Biao slowly knelt at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet and kowtowed to him as a son.""Imperial Father, please allow it!"
"Boss, I'm already very satisfied that you have such intentions.”
"Don't say such nonsense.”
"Could it be that you're willing to let us white-haired people send our black-haired people away?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with gratification, but he still looked at Zhu Biao and scolded,"I still want to see my Biao 'er wearing the dragon robe. In the future, you are not allowed to say such unlucky words. Our Biao' er will definitely live to a hundred years old and protect our Han family's country together with our Biao 'er!”
"If Imperial Father doesn't allow it!"
"Your son will never get up!"
Zhu Biao still looked at Zhu Yuanzhang stubbornly.
"You…"
"He's really our good son. His personality is really like ours!”
"I promise you!"
"The floor is cold. Get up quickly."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with helplessness. When Zhu Biao's personality was tough, no one could do anything to him. He could only nod his head lightly, then help Zhu Biao up and scold him jokingly,"In the entire Ming Dynasty, only you and Second Brother can control your father's thoughts. How can I get involved with you two brothers? In a few years, I'll abdicate the throne to you and return to Earth Peace Palace to live with your mother.”
"Father is in the prime of his life!"
"I still have a lot to learn from you.”
"How can father quit just like that?”
Zhu Biao also smiled, as if he had returned to his usual elegant and easy-going self. At the same time, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,"Our second son is about to get married. At that time, Father will be able to carry his eldest grandson. At that time, our family will be happy and harmonious. Father and Mother will be able to truly enjoy the happiness of family!”
"Little brat."
"When the second son is born, this responsibility will be handed over to you brothers.”
"Also, bring my eldest grandson over tonight. Your mother wants it so badly, and I want it too. Hiding in the residence all day, is my eldest grandson shameful?”
A relaxed smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face. He patted Zhu Biao's shoulder and said,""Go to the city and hire a chef who sells sesame seed cakes and a chef who makes duck blood soup. Dad is craving for it. Let's have a meal tonight. We'll eat sesame seed cakes with this duck blood soup. Our eldest grandson hasn't eaten it yet, right? Prepare more.”
"Yes, sir."
Zhu Biao had just nodded when Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Biao and said,""Your second brother's unwed wife hasn't met her in-laws yet, right? Invite her over tonight. She's not an outsider, so it's a good time to meet her family. Don't forget.”
Northern Desert Plains.
"General."
"I've disappointed you. I couldn't kill Naino Buhua!”
"I still need the general to save me, so I'm willing to be punished!”
Deng Zhen kneeled in front of Zhu Rong with a face full of shame. It wasn't that he had underestimated his opponent, but Buhua had some ability. He was indeed no match for her!
"Zi Zhan, Nainai Buhua is considered a general of the grasslands.”
"Moreover, you didn't lose to him. Why should you be punished?”
Zhu Rong gently helped Deng Zhen up. Looking at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of him, he could not help but sigh softly."This isn't like the time when we suppressed the rebellion. The Outsiders won't show us any mercy, and we won't show them any mercy either. This is much more tragic than before. You have to always remember that although the children of the Han family don't fear death, they have to die in a worthy way!”
"I understand!"
"I will be the sword in the general's hand, and I will kill all who refuse to obey!”
"Help the general sweep the grasslands!"
Deng Zhen was content to have a confidant in his life. Moreover, this confidant was his brother. He knelt on one knee again and said,"It was General who gave Deng Zhen a new life. Deng Zhen's life belongs to General!”
"Regardless of whether it's on the battlefield or not!"
"You and I are brothers!"
"Hahaha!"
"Let's go!"
"Follow your brother to the grassland!"
"Make a great contribution to my Great Ming Dynasty!"
This time, Zhu Rong did not help Deng Zhen up. Instead, he directly mounted the horse.
Accompanied by a hiss.
Zhu Rong's figure instantly swept across the grassland!
This was the greatest joy in life!
"Hahaha!"
"I'm willing to travel with you!"
Deng Zhen's eyes lit up. He then mounted his horse and followed Zhu Rong's footsteps!
Everything about the young man could be overturned and redone!
Only loyalty and faith were not allowed!
Therefore…
Deng Zhenzhong was not Zhu Yuanzhang!
He was loyal to the Great Ming's King of Qi, Zhu Xi!
