Zhu Biao Returns, Brothers Meet Again
Five days later, Crown Prince Zhu Biao returned to the Ying Tian Prefecture.
As soon as Zhu Biao crossed the river, Lu shi and Zhu Yunwen received the news and rushed out of the palace to welcome him.
Of course, other than his wife and son, there were also several officials from the Eastern Palace and Huaixi generals led by Lan Yu.
Lan Yu was definitely a prince, and the Huaixi Party was naturally a member of the prince.
Outside Jinchuan Gate, Zhu Biao saw his wife, children, Lan Yu, and a group of officials who had come to welcome him.
Zhu Biao was naturally very happy to see so many familiar faces and relatives.
Zhu Yunwen and the Zhu brothers surrounded Zhu Biao and asked him questions.
"How is Ninth Brother?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Biao suddenly turned to Lan Yu and asked.
"Same old. The Han King hasn't changed at all.”
Lan Yu could not help but laugh bitterly when she heard that.
In terms of arrogance and despotism, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty would dare to say that Zhu Li was number one.
Even if he, Lan Yu, was usually arrogant enough, he was simply a small fry in front of Zhu Li!
Even he felt inferior.
"Crown Prince, Ninth Brother is really too outrageous.”
"You're already a guilty person and have been locked up by the old master in the self-reflection residence. You actually dare to have a conflict with the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
"That day when His Majesty was in the care of his mother, Ninth Brother relied on his mother's support to leave Self-examination Residence and enter the palace in a grand manner.”
"You didn't see how ugly His Majesty's expression was at that time.”
"And…"
Lady Lu suddenly interjected and recounted everything Zhu Li had done during this period of time, especially the words that Zhu Li had said to the ministers outside the Hall of Heaven Tribute. She repeated them word for word.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown.
He didn't expect Old Nine to be so impulsive.
Doesn't he know the current situation?
He had already been summoned back to the Ying Tian Prefecture, yet he still dared to draw hatred from those civil officials!
In this way, wouldn't it make it more difficult for him, the elder brother, to plead for mercy?
How could he face all the officials?
"This Ninth Brother really doesn't let me worry!”
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao shook his head helplessly and sighed.
He had watched Ninth Brother grow up, so he roughly knew Ninth Brother's temper.
"Right, Crown Prince, recently the Han King's personal guards and Noble Consort Zhou went to the Xu Manor.”
Lan Yu suddenly thought of something and reported to Zhu Biao.
"Noble Consort Zhou went to the Xu Manor? Don't tell me he's going to fight?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao subconsciously thought that the two sides were in conflict again.
"Not really. Let the Duke of Wei speak for himself."
Lan Yu shook her head with a bitter smile.
Then, Xu Huizu stepped forward and brought Noble Consort Zhou to the Xu Mansion to give gifts. He also revealed that the King of Han was preparing to marry his third sister, Xu Miaojin, three years later.
"Ninth Brother actually took a fancy to Miao Jin?"
"This is a good thing!"
"This Ninth Brother has finally come to his senses. Although Miao Jin is still a little young, she will be at the age of marriage in three years. It's just right!"
"And with Ninth Brother's personality, there should be a wangfei to control him.”
Zhu Biao laughed happily after hearing Chang Sheng's explanation.
The two daughters of the Xu family had already married the vassal kings. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with Xu Miaojin marrying Zhu Li.
"I didn't expect Noble Consort Zhou to personally bring up the Han King to propose marriage.”
Xu Huizu also smiled bitterly.
"It's better to let go of enemies than to keep them. Imperial Concubine Zhou and Huaixi Xun Gui had originally had some misunderstandings. Now that they had become a family, there was no need to mention anything about the past.”
"Just treat it as giving us face. Let Miao Jin marry Ninth Brother in two or three years, and it won't bring shame to your family.”
Zhu Biao laughed.
"The Crown Prince is right."
"I also thought so, so I agreed to Noble Consort Zhou and decided on this marriage. Noble Consort Zhou had said that she would ask His Majesty to issue a decree to grant her a marriage.”
Xu Huizu smiled and nodded.
"That's good."
"It's getting late. Let's go back and see Imperial Father first. There are still many things to tell Imperial Father!”
Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction and prepared to return to the palace.
"Big brother, long time no see!"
At this moment, a voice came from afar. Zhu Li appeared outside the city gate with his three personal guards.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Li reined in the reins, dismounted, and strode toward Zhu Biao.
"Ninth Brother!"
Zhu Biao was stunned when he saw Zhu Li.
But he didn't think too much about it. He smiled and opened his arms to welcome them. The two brothers gave each other a big bear hug.
In private, Zhu Yuanzhang's sons did not follow too many rules. The way brothers expressed their feelings was the most direct.
"Wait, why are you here?”
After the two of them exchanged greetings for a while, Zhu Biao remembered that Zhu Li was supposed to be in Self-reflection Residence, so he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Those Embroidered Uniform Guards can't stop us.”
"Moreover, this is our family. I want to come out and welcome my big brother. Father won't be calculative with me because of this, right?”
"Moreover, Big Brother has already returned. Big Brother is also responsible for the big things!”
At the mention of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Zhu Li smiled contemptuously and said fearlessly.
In Zhu Li's original impression, Zhu Biao was a competent elder brother. Almost all his brothers trusted him.
If Zhu Biao hadn't died, Zhu Li wouldn't have thought of rebelling because of his care for him in the past. He would have been able to be the king of Xiaoyao for the rest of his life.
Of course, he wasn't naive enough to think that Zhu Biao's care for him was truly selfless.
It could only be said that Zhu Biao was indeed very good at using his identity as the elder brother to win over his brothers.
"Haven't we helped you carry enough blame in the past?”
"You really think highly of Big Brother!"
Zhu Biao was also speechless when he heard that. Then, he asked suspiciously,"Then how did you know that we were coming back today?”
"I heard about it."
Zhu Li grinned.
When Lan Yu, Chang Sheng, and the rest heard that, they looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths involuntarily twitched.
Inquire?
Did he call first and then hear it?
Could it be that this guy first beat up the Embroidered Uniform Guards and then openly appeared at the city gate?
If the Jinyiwei did not agree, how did Zhu Li get out of Self-examination House?
"You…sigh!"
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.
Obviously, he had roughly guessed what was going on.
"Forget it, why don't you come with us to see Imperial Father now?”
"You have to remember that you can't speak nonsense in front of Imperial Father later. You have to admit your mistakes humbly!”
Zhu Biao thought for a while and took Zhu Li's hand. He felt that it was necessary to implement this matter as soon as possible.
He just wanted Zhu Li to return to his fief as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this kid stayed in the Ying Tian Prefecture for another day, he might cause some trouble!
