Yingtian Prefecture, Baili Pavilion.
"We welcome the Left General, the Great Ming Dynasty's King Qi, back to court!”
The Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao, had brought the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and the King of Zhou to the Hundred Lane Pavilion to welcome the great hero of the Zhu family, the King of Qi, Zhu Bi!
"Royal brother."
"Brothers, this isn't your personality, is it?”
"Imperial Father sent you here, right?"
Zhu Rong waved his hand to stop the army, then dismounted and went straight to the side of Crown Prince Zhu Biao. He gave Zhu Biao a big hug and smiled,"I'm a little overwhelmed by such a large group.”
"Uncle Xu still has to reorganize the military and political affairs of the frontier fortress, so he won't return to court for the time being.”
"That's why Father waited for you in the Great Ming Palace. After all, in this world, where would a father welcome his son? That's why it's been hard for us brothers to stay in this Baili Pavilion for an entire night just to wait for you to return to court.”
Zhu Biao also patted Zhu Rong's shoulder and looked around. He couldn't find the person he was looking for, so he asked,"Where's Fifth Brother?"
"If he wants to join the army at the frontier fortress, it's naturally better for him to follow Uncle Xu.”
"I can learn more."
"That's why I left him in the grasslands. With Uncle Xu taking care of Fifth Brother, nothing will happen!”
Zhu Xi shook his head lightly. This was also Zhu Di's own wish to stay. Otherwise, even if he agreed, Xu Da would not agree. After all, he still had a scale in his heart to weigh the weight of the princes of a country.
"Yes."
"This is naturally very good. I hope that Fifth will not be as unruly as before.”
Zhu Biao had experienced the incident that day, so he had a hint of decisiveness in his heart. Then, he gently nodded and smiled."Mother has already prepared a welcoming banquet for you. After we return to Nanjing to meet Father, we will celebrate for you!”
"Yes."
"I also miss the food that Empress Mother cooked.”
Zhu Rong's face revealed a look of nostalgia. He had finally returned to Nanjing City, which he had not seen for a long time. Moreover, he had defeated Kuo Kuo in one fell swoop and established the might of their Darming Dynasty in the grasslands. Could this be considered a glorious return?
"Greetings, Second Imperial Brother."
Zhu He's other younger brothers also greeted him. The leader, the King of Qin, Zhu He, also looked at Zhu He and cupped his hands."Second Imperial Brother is tired from the long journey. Please enter the Baili Pavilion first.”
"Alright."
"This king wanted to have a good chat with you.”
"Nanjing City is so close, why enter Baili Pavilion? Get on the horse and walk while chatting.”
Zhu He glanced coldly at the King of Qin, then cupped his hands at the Crown Prince, Zhu Biao. He then mounted his horse and said to the King of Qin,""You have to have a good chat with this king about what stupid things you have done!”
"As you wish, Second Imperial Brother."
Fear flashed in the eyes of the King of Qin, Zhu He. He was afraid of his second brother from the bottom of his heart. He didn't even need a reason. As long as Zhu He stood there, fear would rise in his heart.
And this was a shadow that had been left behind since he was young, and it could not be forgotten.
"I told you Third Brother dragging us here was useless.”
"What kind of temper does Second Brother have?"
"I'm afraid that even if big brother speaks, he won't give face.”
Prince Jin Zhu Rong felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at Zhu Rong's back and shook his head at Prince Zhou Zhu Rong."Third Brother is definitely dead this time. Second Brother has always been decisive and ruthless. Even if Third Brother pleads, it's probably useless.”
"Let's see how lucky Third Brother is."
"Those who can survive from Second Brother are destined to be awesome existences.”
Prince Zhou Zhu Rong also shook his head decisively. Originally, he wanted to borrow the brotherhood to have a good chat with Zhu Rong in the Baili Pavilion. Now, it seemed that it was just idle talk. If their second brother was really so easy to talk to, then he could not be called the living King of Hell.
"You guys are really worried.”
"They're all biological brothers from the same mother. Can Second Brother eat Third Brother?”
"However, Third Brother really needs to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, he won't learn his lesson.”
"However, I never expected that your sister-in-law, Kuo Kuo's younger sister, was actually a spy. If it weren't for Second Brother's evidence being sent to the Eastern Palace, I wouldn't have believed it even now.”
Zhu Biao's expression also changed slightly. This was not a small matter.
After all.
Although the King of Qin, Zhu Wei, had yet to become a vassal, he was still the son of the royal family and knew most of the information. Therefore, even Zhu Biao was not sure how much information the Qin Consort had stolen.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
This matter was still hidden from their father, Zhu Yuanzhang. No one dared to expose it. They wanted to wait for Zhu Rong to return to the court before deciding on the matter of the Qin Consort.
This was already a crime of great disrespect.
Therefore…
He had to get a result as soon as possible.
Otherwise…
Paper could never contain fire.
"Third Brother."
"How many things about Great Ming have you told Guan Yin Nu all these years?”
Riding on the horse, Zhu Rong looked at Zhu Rong beside him and said softly,""You've been stubborn and stupid since you were young. If you didn't get played by such a smart wife, I wouldn't believe it.”
"Second brother."
"I know that our family thinks that I'm stupid and stupid, but I'm still aware of the big picture. I've never revealed the real national military report to Guan Yin Nu, but I've told her the truth about the trivial matters she asked.”
Zhu Xiong's face was filled with sorrow. He looked at Zhu Xiong and shook his head."Second brother, I don't want the position of the king of Qin anymore. Send Guanyin back to the grassland. I will go and ask for forgiveness from my father. At the same time, I will go to the main courtyard of a large sect.”
"Do you know what you're saying?"
"You are one of the nine kings appointed by Imperial Father to guard the borders, a vassal of my Great Ming Imperial Family. You said you want to give up your throne?”
"Do you think Imperial Father will chop you up?”
"You're simply throwing Big Ming's face!”
Zhu Rong instantly raised the horsewhip in his hand and ruthlessly whipped Zhu Rong's back. Accompanied by a series of wails, he looked at his disappointing younger brother and said angrily,"This whip is to teach you a lesson, and I hope it will be the last time. Don't do it again. I will meet your Consort Qin in the Eastern Palace. No matter what the result is, I will let her go back to your King Qin's Mansion. I will ask my father to issue a decree that Deng Yuchan will be the main consort of King Qin's Mansion, and your Guanyin slave can only be a secondary consort.”
"Thank you, Second Brother."
"Thank you, Second Brother."
Although the King of Qin Zhu Rong had been whipped for no reason, he knew that his second brother Zhu Rong hated him for being disappointing. He looked at Zhu Rong and said with a choked voice,""Second brother, third brother has embarrassed you.”
"Idiot."
"You are my younger brother, my brother from the same mother.”
"Although I am a little strict with you, think about what you have done. Can you be a competent vassal king?”
"Moreover, the fief that Father left you is the closest place to the border. If I don't be strict with you, how can you live to return home after you guard the border in the future?”
A trace of gentleness appeared in Zhu Rong's eyes. He then looked at Zhu Rong, whose face was covered in tears, and scolded with a smile," Stinky brat, why are you crying? When you were young, you were just a follower. When you grow up, you still need your elder brother to clean up your mess. If one day, my elder brother is no longer around, who can help you? So, stop crying for me. That can only show your cowardice. We are the princes of the Ming Dynasty, the kings who guard the frontier. Only by picking up the saber in your hand can we defend what you want.”
