The Letter Left Behind by Xiang King Zhu Bai
The ministers couldn't help but lower their heads after being scolded by Zhu Di.
The few ministers who followed behind also started to retreat.
Some even lied to themselves and returned to the court.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao glanced at the dragon platform and looked at Zhu Di. He said,""King Yan, you can't be so rude!"
then
Zhu Biao cupped his hands and bowed to the ministers." Don't worry, my lords!”
"Prince Xiang is my twelfth brother. I know what kind of personality he has.”
"Since he promised to return it to you in a year, you can rest assured.”
"Of course!"
"If everyone is worried, I can give you a promise in front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials.”
"If after a year, Prince Xiang is unable to pay back the debt with interest, you can come to the Eastern Palace to collect your capital!”
After Crown Prince Zhu Biao finished speaking, the courtiers nodded in approval. With the Crown Prince's promise, at least their capital was saved.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the dragon platform, was delighted when he saw the scene in the hall.
At this moment, the King of Yan, Zhu Di, did not look at the ministers and said in a clear voice,""After a year, you can come to the King Yan Residence to collect the interest!”
As soon as he said this, almost all the ministers who were shouting lowered their heads and fell silent.
The appearance of Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Prince of Yan Zhu Di made the civil and military officials seem petty.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Xie Li, stepped out of the court and said respectfully,"Your Majesty, this humble subject thinks that His Highness the Prince of Yan's words are reasonable. The most urgent matter at this moment should be to find His Highness the Prince of Xiang and ensure his safety!”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
“···”
On the Dragon Stage
Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his hands on his knees and said in a deep voice,""Increase the search area to the entire South Zhili.”
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up and left.
Leaving the ministers in panic, shouting long live.
After the court meeting dispersed, Prince of Yan Zhu Di did not rush back to his residence. Instead, he rode his horse to Prince Xiang's residence.
Zhu Di had a premonition that Twelfth Brother was not a casual person.
Perhaps he would be able to find some clues in the Prince Xiang Residence.
It was enough to know that he was safe.
Phew--
Zhu Di reined in his horse outside Prince Xiang's Mansion, dismounted, and strode inside.
Seeing that it was the King of Yan, the servant at the door did not dare to stop him and hurriedly welcomed him in.
When the old butler of the Prince Xiang's Residence heard that the Prince of Yan had arrived, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly instructed a servant girl to serve tea to the Prince of Yan. Then, he stuffed the letter left behind by Zhu Bai, the Xiang King, into his sleeve.
In the lobby-
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The old butler bowed to Zhu Di, but he found that Zhu Di was not sitting on the chair drinking tea.
Instead, he searched around the hall.
"Prince Yan?"
The old butler's first greeting did not receive a response from Zhu Di. He called out again," Your Highness, Prince Xiang left a letter saying that he must have Prince Yan to come before…"
"Give it to me!"
Before the old butler could finish speaking, Zhu Di had already arrived in front of the old butler.
Zhu Di took the unopened letter from the old butler's hand and sat at the side with a serious expression.
There were four words written on the envelope: The King of Yan opened the book
Fourth Brother:
Fourth brother, when you read this letter, I should have already arrived in Guangdong and Guangxi. If the schedule is a little faster, I will be able to reach Qiongzhou in a few days.
Fourth brother, don't worry, I'm just going to Qiongzhou to be King Qiong.
I'm afraid that my father won't allow it, so I can only choose to sneak away. Fourth brother, don't worry, in less than a year, I will be able to turn Jingzhou into the richest place in Ming Dynasty.
By the way, I borrowed a lot of money in Beijing, mainly to use it as start-up funds. I know that after those old masters know that I've run away, they won't be able to sleep for the entire night. Fourth Brother, help me pass a message to them. I, Zhu Bai, am indomitable and will fulfill the promise I made…
···········
Unknowingly, the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, had already read the two pages of the letter over and over again.
Even a tough man like Zhu Di could not help but shed tears.
"Idiot! Do you know what kind of place Qiongzhou is? You're going?"
"You've been pampered since you were young. How can you take care of yourself in that desolate land?”
"You even hid it from Fourth Brother. You've really grown up!”
“······”
Zhu Di held the letter with both hands and read it over and over again.
He muttered a lot of words.
After a long time-
Zhu Di carefully kept the letter in his arms and washed his red and swollen eyes with tea.
He got up and left the Xiang King Residence.
He rode on a fast horse and headed straight for the palace!
No matter what, he had to let his father get his twelfth brother back!

Forbidden City
Palace of Heavenly Purity-
Beside the dragon bed, Zhu Yuanzhang held his chin with his hands, his eyes empty.
Next to the dragon table, General Xu Da clenched his right fist and smashed it on his left palm again and again as he paced back and forth.
Several days had passed, but there was still no news.
"Upstairs, why don't I lead a team and expand the area to search again?”
After Xu Da paced back and forth, he finally stopped." It's not a good idea to just wait like this.”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed." Let's wait a little longer."”
"Still waiting? How long do we have to wait?"
"My daughter has also been missing for a few days. We're both fathers. Why aren't you anxious at all?”
As Xu Da spoke, he looked anxious. The usually calm and steady General Xu Da could not help but feel anxious when it came to his own daughter.
"Urgent? What's the use of being anxious!"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his hands and the two of them were about to start quarreling.
Hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the hall.
soon
The Commander of the Brocade Guards, Jiang Wei, stepped into the hall with a look of ecstasy on his face.
"Your Majesty! Great General!"
Jiang He entered the hall and bowed, then said seriously,""This subordinate has found a clue about King Xiang!”
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon couch, immediately trembled and asked anxiously!
"After this subordinate expanded the search area, I discovered that Prince Xiang had brought three thousand imperial guards all the way south!”
"The local officials said that the King of Xiang seemed to be going to Tibet. He left in a hurry."”
"The barbarians?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked in a deep voice,""What barbarian? Do you have any detailed information?"
Jiang Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head again and said guiltily,""That's all for the time being. I'll go investigate now!”
Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled heavily and closed his eyes.
Lying on the dragon bed, he muttered,"Twelfth Brother, Twelfth Brother, what are you trying to do?”
