Zhu Xu did not expect that after the son of the King of Yan left, the Crown Prince would also come.
Moreover, they all came to visit him for nothing.
This was truly too miraculous.
Zhu Xu's bedroom was usually very deserted.
"Let Brother Crown Prince in."
Zhu Xu said indifferently.
Seeing the door of Zhu Xu's bedroom open, Zhu Biao took the initiative to rush in with a gift.
"Haha, Brother Fifteen, I got the Military Weapon Manufacturing Bureau to forge a wooden sword for you with Thunderstruck Wood. See if you like it!”
Zhu Biao took a long and narrow box and handed it to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu opened the box and found that there was indeed a peach wood sword inside. There was a Yin Yang fish pattern carved in the middle of the hilt.
There was a lifelike crane carved on the top of the sword hilt.
The wooden sword looked simple and unadorned, but the Thunderstruck Wood was a piece of wood that could survive the strike of the heavenly lightning. It was extremely precious.
This simple wooden sword was definitely not cheap!
But looking at such a gift, Zhu Xu was speechless.
Zhu Yunwen had given him a horsetail whisk before, and now Zhu Biao had given him a peach wood sword. This father and son team obviously thought that he was going to be a Taoist priest.
"Brother Crown Prince, have a bowl of bamboo juice."
Zhu Xu poured a bowl of bamboo juice for Zhu Biao.
Xu Miaojin stepped forward and kept the box.
While Zhu Biao was drinking the bamboo juice.
"Brother Crown Prince, you didn't come here just to give me a wooden sword, right?”
"Haha, Fifteenth Brother, I just miss you.”
“......。”
Zhu Xu was speechless. Zhu Biao had already sat down and started to nag at Zhu Xu.
"Brother Fifteen, I've been carefully examining my two sons these past few days and discovered that these two unfilial sons are really useless.”
"I really regret it now. I should have let Yun Wen and Yun Ren stay by my side and teach them personally.”
"If the Great Ming Dynasty is really handed over to the two brothers in the future, I won't be at ease at all!”
"Fifteenth brother, this Great Ming Empire was painstakingly fought down by Imperial Father. We two brothers have to guard it together!”
Zhu Biao said meaningfully.
Zhu Xu frowned.
He felt that something was wrong.
The more Xu Miaojin heard, the more shocked she became.
Why did Zhu Biao sound like he was entrusting his funeral?
Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyi did not go.
Zhu Xu was enough?
Zhu Biao chatted with Zhu Xu for a while, but it was all the result of his investigation of Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyu. Then, he said that his body was sick and he couldn't be tired.
In short, after all the hints, Zhu Biao finally talked about Zhu Xu's marriage.
"Fifteenth Brother, I know that you are devoted to cultivation, but cultivators can also get married. As long as you want to get married, I will definitely hold a beautiful wedding for you!”
Zhu Biao said.
Zhu Xu didn't reply.
Xu Miaojin lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red. She secretly glanced at Zhu Xu with eyes full of joy.
Zhu Biao then talked to Zhu Xu about the Jinyiwei collecting business taxes in the past two days, as well as the impact of this matter on many dignitaries. He also expressed his full support for Zhu Xu.
Before he left, Zhu Biao even asked Zhu Xu to visit the Eastern Palace when he was free.
Until Zhu Biao left.
"Go and get two eggs and give them to Gao Chi and Brother Crown Prince!" Zhu Xu said to a eunuch.”
"Yes!"
Zhu Xu sat back on the bed and continued to meditate.
Xu Miaojin was looking at him with admiration.
The heir of the King of Yan spared no effort to flatter him, and Crown Prince Zhu Biao also entrusted him with the future.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang even personally bestowed the marriage and made Zhu Xu the commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards.
How could such treatment be given to a person with a dull aptitude?!
Xu Miaojin felt that Zhu Xu must be very capable, and she was even more satisfied with Zhu Xu, the person she was betrothed to.
...........
Outside Yingtian Prefecture.
In a relay station.
King Zhu of Jin and King Zhu Di of Yan sat at the same table.
"Fourth brother, why do you think father summoned us to the capital?”
Zhu Rong picked up the wine cup and asked.
"Ah, Third Brother, how would I know? Anyway, we will do whatever Imperial Father wants us to do. There is no war at the border now, and it is very boring to stay in the wangfu.”
Zhu Di smiled.
Unless there were special circumstances, the Fan Wang could not leave the residence.
Although the king's mansion was huge.
However, Zhu Di still felt bored after staying in the Imperial Residence for a long time.
"Ah, fourth brother, I heard that father has started collecting business taxes, and this is all because of fifteenth brother's suggestion!”
A gleam of light flashed in Zhu Rong's eyes.""Our fifteenth brother seems to have been favored by our father recently. When you and I were his age, we went to other places to become vassals. Not only did fifteenth brother not become a vassal, but he also became the commander of the Jinyiwei.”
"And collecting business taxes would offend the powerful. That Fifteenth Brother suddenly stopped going to the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen, and Imperial Father called us over at this critical moment.”
Zhu Xiong sounded very dissatisfied.
Zhu Xu was the one who came up with the idea and started the whole thing. Now that it was going to be promoted nationwide and offend a large number of powerful people, he was called over from the border.
He had a lot of opinions about this!
"Third Brother, Imperial Father wouldn't be so biased. I think Imperial Father called us here because he missed us.”
Zhu Di frowned and said.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much."
Zhu Xiong took a sip of wine, but he hadn't put down his bowl yet.
"Father! Third Uncle, the eunuch from the palace is here!"
Zhu Gaoxu's voice suddenly came from outside the relay station.
Zhu Di and Zhu Xi both raised their eyebrows.
The two vassal kings were a little puzzled. This was the outskirts of Yingtian Prefecture, so close to the capital. Although it was not common to meet a eunuch, it was not outrageous.
Why did Zhu Gaoxu specially inform him?
"Father-in-law still has the imperial edict!"
Zhu Xi and Zhu Di's expressions changed at the same time. They immediately stood up, rushed out of the relay station, and quickly knelt in front of the eunuch.
"By the heavens, the emperor has decreed."
"Third Bro, Fourth Bro, why are you still outside? I've been waiting for you for several days! Get your asses into the palace immediately! Then, he would report directly to the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
"In the future, the two of you will each lead half of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and be responsible for collecting the business taxes of the eight provinces in the country!”
"Zhen wants to see the silver this month. Otherwise, Zhen will punish you severely!”
The eunuch put away the two identical imperial edicts and handed them to Zhu Xi and Zhu Di with a smile.
"Two Wangye, His Majesty is already impatient from waiting for you. These words are a little too heavy.”
the eunuch said.
Hearing this, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di held the imperial edict in a daze.
After the eunuch left.
"Third brother, you're right. Imperial Father seems to be a little biased.”
Zhu Di's expression was very ugly as he said.
"Fourth brother, what kind of bewitching potion do you think this fifteenth brother fed to Imperial Father?!”
"Third brother, I plan to take some time to visit this fifteenth brother after entering the palace! He could also spar with his fifteenth brother!”
"Hehe, I have the same plan! Why don't we go together?"
"Yes!"
The two vassal kings smiled maliciously.
They all thought that they were pulled by Zhu Yuanzhang to take the blame for Zhu Xu.
However, they were all masters who had been on the battlefield and had personally killed barbarians. How could they be willing to take the blame for others for nothing?
Even if they were forced to, they had to get an explanation for themselves!
However, they didn't dare to act rashly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, so they could only find trouble with Zhu Xu!
