Set Off, Return to Hanzhong!
Because of the previous experience, although Zhu Yuanzhang fainted because of the nightmare, he quickly woke up and went to the morning court.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Li brought Qin Wu into the palace.
It was mainly because before parting, he still needed to say goodbye to his mother, Noble Consort Zhou, and talk to her.
Zhu Li came to the rear palace and greeted Noble Consort Zhou who was having breakfast.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Sit down and eat together."
Noble Consort Zhou had a faint smile on her face. It was obvious that her son had been exonerated, which made her feel quite good.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang advocated frugality, the food in the harem was the more common porridge, salted vegetables and steamed buns.
Moreover, Noble Consort Zhou herself was not the kind of delicate person, so she was not picky when it came to food.
Zhu Li did not stand on ceremony with Noble Consort Zhou. After the palace maid brought the bowls and chopsticks, he immediately sat down and ate heartily.
"I still remember that you had to eat meat for breakfast when you were young. After you grew up, your personality changed!”
Noble Consort Zhou looked at Zhu Li in surprise. She had not expected that this boy could have such a good appetite just by eating porridge and salted vegetables.
"Imperial Mother, your son will eventually grow up!”
Zhu Li grinned.
"When do you plan to return to your fief?"
Noble Consort Zhou nodded and asked with satisfaction.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll depart. Your son has specially come today to bid farewell to Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, and Imperial Mother.”
According to the rules, although Noble Consort Zhou was Zhu Li's birth mother, he had to acknowledge Empress Ma as his mother, and Noble Consort Zhou could only be his mother.
Although Empress Ma had passed away a long time ago, Zhu Li still had to go and burn an incense stick to pay his respects to his mother's memorial tablet out of courtesy.
This also showed that even the status of a biological mother was far less important than a nominal mother.
At least on the surface, it had to be like this to conform to etiquette.
Although Zhu Li, who had modern thinking and memories, still felt that this kind of etiquette was a pain in the ass, at least he could not change this situation at the moment.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to your big brother?"
"I heard that in order to plead for you, he even knelt down in front of His Majesty.”
Noble Consort Zhou raised her eyebrows and asked.
"There's no need to go to big brother's side, because we've already made an appointment. Tomorrow big brother will go outside the city to send this son off.”
Zhu Li grinned.
Noble Consort Zhou only nodded her head when she heard this.
The mother and son asked each other about their recent situation and cared about each other. They finished their breakfast.
"Consort mother, this subject son has returned to his fief this time. I don't know when we will meet again.”
"Your son has a request, and I hope mother will grant it.”
Zhu Li put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Noble Consort Zhou.
"Tell me."
Noble Consort Zhou raised her eyebrows.
"On the day of this subject's son's wedding, I hope that mother can follow this subject's princess to Hanzhong.”
"I don't dare to hope that Imperial Father can go to Hanzhong to host this son's wedding. At least Imperial Mother should be present!”
Zhu Li said seriously.
"That's not a problem. His Majesty will definitely make arrangements before your wedding. Although he couldn't go, his mother would definitely go.”
Noble Consort Zhou happily nodded in agreement.
When Zhu Li returned to his fief, the person he was most worried about was naturally Noble Consort Zhou.
Zhu Yuanzhang would pass away in May of the 31st year of Hongwu. Therefore, Zhu Li had to find a way to get Noble Consort Zhou to his fief before that.
Once Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne, it would be difficult for Imperial Consort Zhou to leave the Ying Tian Manor!
Although it was impossible for Noble Consort Zhou to stay in Hanzhong for a long time because of a big wedding, it was still a precedent.
Later on, if the princess consort gave birth to a child or something, it would be much easier to find an excuse to let Noble Consort Zhou go to Hanzhong.
The main thing was that Zhu Li had to grasp this timing well.
In the Ming Dynasty, before Emperor Mingying, there was still a system of concubines being buried with their lives.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who was afraid that his concubines would make a cuckold of him after his death. He stipulated that all concubines who had never given birth to children would be buried with him!
There were 46 concubines buried with Zhu Yuanzhang, which was clearly recorded in historical records.
Although Noble Consort Zhou was definitely not buried with him, it was unrealistic to expect Emperor Jianwen to let Noble Consort Zhou die of old age!
Therefore, Zhu Li had to make plans early.
Even if Noble Consort Zhou was not buried with him, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, it was impossible for her to be free.
Hearing Noble Consort Zhou agree, Zhu Li was finally relieved of his worries and stood up to bid farewell.
After leaving Imperial Concubine Zhou's bedchamber, Zhu Li first went to pay his respects to his mother, Empress Ma's memorial tablet. Finally, he went to the royal study to bid farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just finished morning court.
"It's fine if you want to go back early. The earlier you leave, the better. I'm annoyed just looking at you now!”
"Kid, be good when you return to your fief. Don't cause any more trouble for us!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Li, he was still worried.
Actually, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He had already seen the life of the second brother, Zhu Xi, but he had not seen the life of Zhu Li.
However, the 35-minute deduction time probably meant that Zhu Li would die young!
After all, he was his biological son. It would be a lie to say that his heart didn't ache for him!
Zhu Li nodded his head in agreement and left the palace with Qin Wu.
The next morning, Crown Prince Zhu Biao led a few Huaixi generals to personally send Zhu Li off outside the city.
Outside the city, the 200 personal guards of the Han King were already ready to go.
Looking at the powerful and awe-inspiring soldiers of the Han King's personal guards, even Lan Yu and the other Huaixi generals could not help but be secretly speechless.
Compared to the imperial court army, the Han King's personal guards were very neat. They were all clad in leather armor and wore helmets with red tassels on their heads. They were equipped with bright bows, held long halberds, and hung three-inch short blades at their waists. Their eyes were filled with killing intent!
Furthermore, this was a cavalry team that was good at riding and charging!
However, compared to these personal guards of the Han King, the ordinary imperial court army was like children's play.
Even Lan Yu had never seen such a line-up at the side of Zhu Di, the King of Yan in Beiping.
No wonder this Han King was the one who was the best at fighting. Just by looking at the soldiers he brought out, it was far from what ordinary people could compare to.
Even Lan Yu would be ashamed of his inferiority!
"Go back. Big Brother can only send you here!”
Zhu Biao stopped and said to Zhu Li.
"Thank you, big brother. Take care, big brother!”
"I look forward to seeing you again in the future!”
Zhu Li mounted his horse and bowed to Zhu Biao.
Although he said that, he knew that if he left, he would have to say goodbye to Zhu Biao.
"Let's go back to Hanzhong!"
With a command, Zhu Li pulled the reins and did not stay any longer. He led the Han King's personal guards and slowly disappeared from the sight of Zhu Biao and the others.
"These Han Zhong soldiers are not simple!”
Lan Yu reminded Zhu Biao with a smile.
When Zhu Biao heard this, he turned around and glanced at Lan Yu in surprise.
