Zhu Li reading the Analects of Confucius, wasn't this the sun rising from the west?
"I have nothing to do in my free time.”
Zhu Li smiled. He had mastered the art of lying through his teeth.
"I never asked you why you attacked the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
Noble Consort Zhou did not dwell on this question and instead changed the topic.
"Those guys are getting cocky."
"It's fine if you secretly investigate this king on normal days, but you actually dared to openly follow me later!”
"If this king didn't discover it, then so be it. But now that he's discovered, he still wants to be stubborn.”
"This Prince is a vassal king after all. Do they really think that they don't put this Prince in their eyes just because they have Imperial Father backing them up?”
Zhu Li heard this and lightly snorted.
In fact, he did not dare to say that he had been targeted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards when he had met with the generals of the imperial court army in private.
In fact, it would be fine if Zhu Li had a normal conversation with the generals of the imperial court army. The problem was that he had gathered these generals in private and enjoyed a lot of food and benefits.
What if the Jinyiwei told Zhu Yuanzhang about this?
Thinking of this, Zhu Li felt a headache.
The original Han King was too reckless. He had no interest in governing his fief and only wanted to train his troops and kill the enemy.
Moreover, he treated his soldiers very well, and the benefits he received were excellent.
The key problem was that the salary given by the imperial court was simply not enough, so he allowed the generals of the imperial court to collude with the local officials to plunder the people's wealth. He usually took a lot of benefits from them to support the army.
Zhu Li himself would not bully the people for no reason. The problem was that his laissez-faire and inaction directly led to the chaos in Hanzhong, and the people complained endlessly.
This time, the truth had been exposed, and he had been ordered to return to the Ying Tian Prefecture. As for those officials and the generals of the imperial court, they would definitely be in big trouble. Killing a few of them to appease the anger of the people would definitely be inevitable.
In fact, the local people were fond of the King of Han.
If it wasn't for the Han King, the Tartars would have destroyed their homeland long ago!
The vassal kings and ministers were just making use of the topic to make a fuss.
If that was all, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have done anything to Zhu Li.
The reason why they went to war this time was entirely because Zhu Li had killed the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang realize that Zhu Li was bold and had the intention of breaking free from his control.
Zhu Li was ordered to enter the capital. Apart from giving face to Zhu Biao, the most important thing was to beat this kid up, hoping that he would restrain himself in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang would not kill his own son just because a few Jinyiwei died! Unless Zhu Li was really a good-for-nothing wastrel, Zhu Yuanzhang would really strip him of his title! However, the key was that Zhu Li was very talented in fighting. He was a general. He still needed this son to guard the Northern Territory!
After listening to Zhu Li's explanation, Noble Consort Zhou was speechless.
No one knew their son better than their mother. When she heard this, she knew that Zhu Li was talking nonsense.
Embroidered Uniform Guards were too arrogant?
You are even more arrogant than the Jinyiwei!
How could a vassal king like you kill the emperor's eagle hound just like that?
Does your Imperial Father not care about his face?
"When the Crown Prince returns, you can go and apologize to your Imperial Father.”
Noble Consort Zhou sighed helplessly and warned Zhu Li seriously.
"Your son will obey!"
Zhu Li agreed with a smile.
"This is a snack that mother specially asked the imperial chef to make for you. If you can return to your fief in a few days, remember not to act recklessly again.”
Noble Consort Zhou's eyes were filled with helplessness, and she reminded him with some heartache.
As she spoke, two palace maids came in with two food boxes and placed them on the table.
"Thank you, Imperial Mother."
Zhu Li couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"Mother can't stay here for long. I came to see you and then went back. You should be fine and don't let your father and mother worry about you.”
Before Noble Consort Zhou left, she still reminded him worriedly.
After Noble Consort Zhou left, Zhu Li turned to Qin Wu and asked,""The Crown Prince should be back soon, right?"
"Counting the time, it will take the Crown Prince more than half a month to reach the Ying Tian Prefecture from Xi'an. It would depend on whether he took the land route or changed to the water route midway.”
"If we take the water route to Kaifeng Prefecture and then take the land route in the Henan Plains, we won't need to take many twists and turns to reach Yingtian Prefecture in a short period of time.”
"I estimate that it will take about 15 days. It has been a few days since we came from Hanzhong. I estimate that in a few more days, the Crown Prince should arrive.”
Qin Wu thought for a moment and estimated the time.
"Then it shouldn't be long before we return to Hanzhong.”
Zhu Li smiled and nodded.
Qin Wu couldn't help but sweat.
This Han King knew that the Crown Prince would definitely plead for him, so he had nothing to fear!
"Oh right, did the Duke of Wei accept the gift that was sent to the Xu Manor?”
Zhu Li suddenly asked.
Yesterday, he had asked Qin Wu to prepare some gifts and sent them directly to the Duke of Wei Residence. In fact, he had gone there for Xu Miaojin.
Although she did not have any conflict with this Huaixi gang and could still be polite when they met, he was still thinking about his sister and she was the one who had committed the crime. Who knew how the Wei Guild would react?
"The Duke of Wei accepted it mainly because the Imperial Concubine personally came forward.”
Qin Wu replied.
"Consort Mother went to the Xu Manor?"
Zhu Li was surprised.
One had to know that his mother had never had a good impression of the Huaixi Party. Moreover, although the two sides had not interfered with each other for the past few years, they were definitely not on good terms!
"I didn't leave far before I was stopped by the Empress.”
Qin Wu explained the situation awkwardly.
After hearing that Zhu Li had asked Qin Wu to send gifts to the Xu Manor, Noble Consort Zhou had also specially prepared a generous gift and personally made a trip to the Xu Manor.
Although Qin Wu was only waiting outside the Xu Manor, when Noble Consort Zhou came out, it was Duke of Wei Xu Huizu who personally saw her out.
Clearly, their old rivals had already made peace.
Zhu Li could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
It seemed that his mother had been paying attention to his movements. Moreover, she had personally gone to the Xu Manor for his matter.
This didn't seem to be in line with her principles.
"Don't tell me you're going to tell me about Xu Miaojin?”
Zhu Li raised his eyebrows and asked.
"There's no way to hide this. This general deserves to die!”
Qin Wu's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
"Forget it, it's not your fault.”
Zhu Li waved his hand, but his heart was a little stifled.
Ever since the Han Princess Consort died young, he had been single. His mother was probably anxious.
It was rare for him to take a fancy to Xu Miaojin. As her mother, Zhou Yao had to think of a way to get things done.
At this moment, Zhu Li had more or less analyzed his mother's mentality.
For the sake of her future daughter-in-law, Zhou Yao did not hesitate to give up her principles and personally went to the Xu residence to give gifts.
However, when Noble Consort Zhou came just now, she did not mention a word about it.
But no matter what, since his mother had stepped forward, this daughter-in-law should be in the bag.
As expected, Consort Mother's face was big enough!
