The Only Way Out Is To Rebel!
On the way back to the palace, Zhu Biao did not take the carriage. Instead, he rode a horse like Zhu Li.
The two brothers walked side by side like this, chatting as they walked, directly throwing Madam Lu and the others to the side.
"Mother, why does father only have Ninth Imperial Uncle in his eyes?”
"As soon as the Ninth Imperial Uncle appeared, he seemed to be unable to see anyone else!”
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Biao who was chatting with Zhu Li and asked with a depressed face.
At this moment, Madam Lu was already so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
Zhu Biao had been touring the west for several months. She and Zhu Yunwen had a lot of things to tell Zhu Biao in detail. They didn't expect that when Zhu Li appeared, the mother and son were left out. How could she swallow this?
Not to mention Zhu Yunwen, even she couldn't figure it out.
Wasn't this Han King good at fighting?
However, Zhu Li was not the only vassal king who could fight in the imperial court!
Lan Yu's battle achievements were so illustrious, why did Zhu Biao value Ninth Brother so much?
How could the short-sighted Lu shi know that Lan Yu could fight, but his surname wasn't Zhu!
"Your father must have not seen your ninth uncle for many years. Don't think too much."
Madam Lu explained expressionlessly, but her expression was terrifyingly dark.
She simply turned her head and looked to the other side, out of sight.
But what she didn't expect was that when she turned her head, she saw Zhu Yunhao chatting and laughing with Lan Yu and the other Huaixi dignitaries.
Lady Lu's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Originally, Zhu Yunwen had a boss, Zhu Xiongying.
Unfortunately, Zhu Xiongying's life was short. He died at the age of eight, which was the 15th year of Hongwu.
In his opinion, the throne of the Ming Dynasty would ultimately belong to Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and her son, Zhu Yunwen, would be the future Crown Prince!
However, there was still Zhu Yunchen!
Although Zhu Yunhao was the third son, he was the same as the eldest son, Zhu Xiongying. They were both the sons of the late Crown Princess Consort Chang.
Therefore, the entire Huaixi Party stood behind Zhu Yunhao!
Although Huaixi's nobles were the Crown Prince's staunch supporters, it didn't mean that they would support Zhu Yunwen!
She would never allow anyone to threaten her son's future throne!
"I'm afraid that Eldest Brother will make Sister-in-law unhappy again if he leaves Sister-in-law behind to come with us.”
Coincidentally, Zhu Li turned around and saw Lady Lu's expression. He couldn't help but be moved.
As Zhu Yunwen's birth mother, after Chang shi died, Lu shi finally became a consort, but in terms of birth, she was not as noble as Chang shi.
Even if Zhu Yunwen was considered a legitimate son now, the legitimate sons in everyone's eyes were still the Chang family, namely Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunyu.
Under such circumstances, Lady Lu's mentality would definitely be distorted.
The two sons of Zhu Biao would definitely have a dispute in the future, and this Lu shi was not someone easy to get along with!
However, all of this had little to do with him.
In the end, it was Zhu Biao's own family matter.
"You brat, you only know how to think about these things.”
"Your sister-in-law isn't that petty!”
"If you really don't think it's suitable, why don't you go back to Self-examination Residence now?”
Zhu Biao scolded him with a smile.
"That won't do. We'll follow big brother today.”
"We'll go wherever Big Brother goes."
Zhu Li immediately shook his head.
What a joke, he was still hoping that Zhu Biao would quickly bring him to Zhu Yuanzhang to plead for mercy so that he could return to Hanzhong as soon as possible.
Who knew how many more days he would have to wait to return to Self-Reflection Residence?
"I just heard from the Duke of Wei that Noble Consort Zhou went to the Xu Manor to propose marriage?”
Zhu Biao asked.
"I'm still a Wangye and I'm already twenty-three years old, but I don't even have a concubine.”
Zhu Li nodded seriously.
"So you still know how to get a wife?”
"So, our father has told you so many daughters of official families, but why didn't you take a fancy to any of them?”
Zhu Biao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"That's our father fooling ghosts. He randomly found a few daughters of minor officials and stuffed them into our hands to be our wangfei.”
"Our princess consort should be the descendant of a famous family.”
"After thinking about it, there are only a few families that meet the requirements in the current dynasty.”
Zhu Li curled his lips and spoke as if he was wronged.
"Forget it. If you really have feelings for the Third Miss of the Xu Residence, then we'll make the decision for you. Two years later, we'll definitely help you send the Duke of Wei's third sister, Xu Miaojin, to Hanzhong!”
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment before taking over this matter.
Although Noble Consort Zhou still appeared, it did not hinder him from being the icing on the cake as the elder brother.
No matter how big or small, it was still a favor.
Moreover, this kind of marriage had always been about the parents 'orders and the matchmaker's words. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince, had already been decided. Even if the Duke of Wei did not give face to Noble Consort Zhou, wouldn't he give face to this Crown Prince?
Zhu Biao knew that Ninth Brother was a different kind of person among all the vassal kings. He usually had no interest in women and was most interested in training troops and fighting wars.
It was a rare thing for Ninth Brother to take the initiative to take a fancy to a girl from a certain family. At the same time, it was also a great thing!
"Then my younger brother's happiness for the rest of his life will depend on my older brother!”
Zhu Li laughed out loud when he heard this.
"It's true that you don't cause trouble for us in the future!”
Zhu Biao urged, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Zhu Li agreed easily, but he felt helpless in his heart.
If Zhu Biao hadn't died, he wouldn't have thought about rebelling in the future and how to deal with Zhu Yunwen.
It was uncertain whether he would cause trouble in the future, but what was certain was that according to the trajectory of history, even if he caused trouble in the future, Zhu Biao, as his elder brother, would not be able to help him!
Of course, other than rebellion, Zhu Li actually had another option.
That was to take the initiative to show goodwill to Zhu Yunwen after he ascended the throne, or even be a bootlicker.
It was definitely not a problem for him to protect his life, but he did not need to think about military power.
Therefore, this path did not match Zhu Li's character, and he could not accept it.
If he lost everything, he would rather die.
Therefore, when Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, there was only one road in front of him, and that was to rebel!
Unless Zhu Yunwen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he would not cut off his vassal after he ascended the throne.
However, with Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru by his side, he could already foresee the fall of the vassal state.
This group of scholars and civil officials all regarded the vassal king who held a large army as a huge threat!
As he thought about all these things, the two brothers had already arrived outside the Meridian Gate.
After letting Lady Lu and Zhu Yunwen return to the Eastern Palace and bid farewell to Lan Yu and the others, Zhu Biao brought Zhu Li directly into the palace and went straight to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
With Crown Prince Zhu Biao clearing the way, the road was naturally smooth and no one dared to stop Zhu Li.
