" Old Man Jie, you're quite clumsy." Zhu Su swaggered into the Eastern Palace with two slipper prints on his back.
Zhu Su, who had been bewitched by Zhu Yuanzhang's words just now, remembered that Ma Sandao was still in prison.
However, he did not intend to return to the royal study and discuss this matter with his father with a smile. After all, that was tantamount to walking into a trap.
After thinking about it, she could only ask her brother to do this.
Therefore, Zhu Su, who had planned to leave the palace, changed his direction and came to the East Palace.
However, as soon as he entered Zhu Biao's study, he saw a heart-wrenching scene. His sister-in-law, Chang Xiyun, was grinding ink for Zhu Biao, who was reading the memorial. The husband and wife happened to look at each other at this time and smiled tacitly. They were as good as newlyweds.
"Aiyo! My eyes!" Zhu Su deliberately covered his eyes with one hand and grabbed forward with the other hand, groping forward."
"It's so early in the morning. What's so dazzling that it blinded my eyes?”
Chang Xiyun and Zhu Biao were naturally not as shameless as Zhu Su.
Especially Chang Xiyun. She immediately blushed and apologized to Zhu Biao before leaving the study. However, when she passed by Zhu Su, she couldn't help but pinch his arm.
"Howl! Sister Yun was indeed the tiger daughter of the family of generals. Her new temper was really good!”Zhu Su was about to speak when Chang Xiyun's laughter interrupted him.
"Oh you, did Imperial Father beat you up again?”Chang Xiyun pointed at the two large footprints on Zhu Su's back and said helplessly.
" Sigh, it's all Big Brother's fault. I didn't even know to keep the pocket money I gave Xiong Ying properly. In the end, my sharp-eyed father saw it…"
Just as Zhu Su was about to continue speaking, Zhu Biao, who had long been unable to stand it, shook his head and said to Chang Xiyun,""Get someone to prepare Xiaowu's clothes and help him change into them later. What kind of person is he to wear this to wander around?”
" Sister Yun, look," Zhu Su pointed at Zhu Biao and said proudly,""Big brother, you're feeling guilty, right? As expected, his conscience was aching.”
"You want me to feel guilty?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh." Little Wu, even when your second brother was still around, the number of times you angered Father and Mother is more than the other brothers and sisters combined."”
It was just that a certain someone didn't think about who was the one who cleaned up the mess behind his back every time he caused trouble. Moreover, it was the one who begged for mercy in front of his father and mother.
"Eh, Sister Yun? Who do you think my big brother learned his stingy attitude from? Look at the expression on his face. It's as if I owe him money.”Zhu Su pointed at Zhu Biao and pouted at Chang Xiyun.
"I won't get involved in the matters between you brothers.”Chang Xiyun gently patted Zhu Su's cheek."Our Xiaowu's appearance is really outstanding. Later, sister-in-law will help you pick a suitable set of clothes to change into. I guarantee that you will charm the little girls outside the palace.
But you two brothers, don't take advantage of my absence to quarrel again.”Chang Xiyun looked at Zhu Biao and only left after he nodded in agreement.
"Big Brother, you and Sister-in-law are really like tofu.”After seeing Chang Xiyun off, Zhu Su came to Zhu Biao's desk and leaned over the edge of the table, watching Zhu Biao read the memorials with great interest.
"I still can't win against your good brother. Didn't you see that your sister-in-law kept winking at me before she left? She's afraid that I'll skin you alive.”Zhu Biao picked up a report on the autumn flood in the north and read it carefully. He quickly gave his approval.
"Brother, I want to discuss something with you.”Zhu Su felt that it was more suitable for him to get straight to the point.
"About San Dao Ma?" Zhu Biao raised his head and glanced at Zhu Su, then lowered his head and continued reading the memorial."Last night, when you were hugging the pillar in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility and refusing to let go, crying and shouting that you two were truly in love, I already told Father.
Early this morning, I've already sent someone to take the silver notes to look for Three Blades Ma's nephew. I reckon that he should be released soon.”Zhu Biao had just finished speaking.
The system's voice sounded in Zhu Su's mind."

[Number: 3000]
What was a good big brother?
Looking at Zhu Biao, who was working at his desk, Zhu Su was filled with emotions.
"Big brother?" Zhu Su suddenly decided to give him a surprise.
Since he could continue to pick up cubs in the Changbai Mountains next spring, Zhu Su decided to be generous and give a gyrfalcon to Zhu Biao!
"Hmm?" Zhu Biao raised his head and looked at Zhu Su in confusion.
Zhu Su didn't say anything. He just raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Not long after, a snow-white gyrfalcon flew into the study and landed on Zhu Biao's desk.
Looking at the eagle whose head was stroked by Zhu Su, Zhu Biao laughed and said,""Are you planning to give it to me?"
"Of course! Do you like it?" Zhu Su smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Alright, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it. Moreover, there was still Xiong Ying. Yun 'Er would carry him to the study room if he was fine. What if this beast hurt Xiong Ying?”Zhu Biao gave a reason for his refusal.
"Big brother, don't worry. They've all been tamed. There won't be any problems. It's not like you didn't see Imperial Father's jade claw.”As long as Zhu Su didn't break the contract, these gyrfalcons would never harm anyone without his orders.
"Alright, big brother still says the same thing. I appreciate your kind intentions. Eagle, take it back. When the autumn hunt comes, Xiong Ying won't be around. You can borrow Big Brother to play for a few days.”Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Su with a gentle gaze. Although this younger brother of his was the most troublesome, he was also the most responsible and sentimental person.
"Since there are treasures that you can't give away, then I won't force you.”Zhu Su shook his head and patted the gyrfalcon's wings. The gyrfalcon flapped its wings and flew away.
"You brat! You're still so rash." Zhu Biao put the brush aside and rearranged the scattered memorials into a pile.
" Sigh…" For some reason, Zhu Biao let out a long sigh.
Zhu Su was keenly aware of his unusual behavior today.
"Big Brother, what's wrong? Is there something bothering you?”Zhu Su asked after finding a seat for himself.
Zhu Biao was silent for a while and then asked Zhu Su,""Xiaowu, if a tiger and a wolf surround you at the same time, the tiger will die if it gets hit by two arrows, and the wolf will die if it gets hit by one arrow, but you can only shoot two arrows.”
Zhu Su's eyes widened upon hearing this. The next moment, the insufferably arrogant Prince Wu slammed the table with his elder brother."Why are you leaving it here with me? Why are you pretending to be a riddle maker? Speak human language!”
Zhu Biao was stunned at first, but he didn't get angry. He just sighed." Why am I asking this brat…"
He was just looking for trouble.
Just as he was about to chase him away, Zhu Su suddenly looked at Zhu Biao excitedly and said to him,""Father wants to balance the power of the court. The generals of Huaixi and the civil servants of Zhedong Group. According to the current strength, Huaixi is the tiger and Zhedong Group is the wolf.
The answer to your question is naturally to shoot the tiger first and leave one arrow to intimidate the tiger and wolf in the face of life and death, so that you can be in a safe position.
But you, big brother, or father, you have more than two arrows in your hands. It's not a problem for you to shoot the other party into a sieve. If you want the court to continue to maintain balance, then you have to shoot a tiger with an arrow--starting with Huaixi Xungui.
So the question you really want to ask is, which part of the tiger did the arrow hit? In other words, picking out a person from Huaixi's noble families to operate on, was that right?”Zhu Su had said too much in one breath. He hurriedly stood up and picked up Zhu Su's teacup from the desk.
Looking at Zhu Su, Zhu Biao couldn't connect this young man with the bastard who had caused trouble last night. This strange contrast made Zhu Biao sigh,"Little Five, have you never used your brain before?”
"I'm too lazy to use it, but that doesn't mean it's not brilliant!
Besides, why should I always worry about that?”
Zhu Su put down his teacup and sat back in his seat. He leaned his head against the chair and continued to think.
After a while, Zhu Su didn't say anything, but Zhu Biao spoke first,""Little Five, who do you think is more suitable?”
What he meant was, among the nobles of Huaixi, who should be picked out to be the one to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys? (That's right, I'm Blackie)
After Zhu Biao asked this question, Zhu Su didn't say anything.
After a long silence, Zhu Su made his choice.
"If that's the case, then let's go with Li Shan Chang.”
Zhu Biao wasn't surprised, but he still asked,""Oh? Why him?"
"Big brother, you're not interesting.”Zhu Su raised his first finger in annoyance.
" Firstly, as the military advisor of my father, Li Shan Chang first proposed the policy of keeping a low profile. Later, he introduced Zhu Sheng, who proposed to accumulate grain, build high walls, and slowly become king. These people followed my father and triumphantly advanced all the way to the world.
His contributions were not inferior to anyone else, and his reputation was also one of the highest among Huaixi's dignitaries.
However, he had betrayed his father twice.
What did this mean?
This meant that this person was easily capricious. After weighing the pros and cons of anything, as long as he felt that something could be done, he would not care about other restrictions.
To put it simply, it was easy for this person to have no bottom line.”
After Zhu Su finished his first point, he looked at Zhu Biao and found that he was silent and didn't object to his words.
Zhu Su raised another finger."
"The second point is also very direct.
Although Li Shan Chang was a noble in Huaixi, he was a scholar, so his reputation in the Zhedong Group led by Liu Bowen was not low.
Moreover, he was the only one who could get along well with both Huaixi Xungui and Zhedong Group.
Moreover, he was the one with the greatest influence among those who could get along well with both sides.
This is a little unruly."
" Brother, there's a third point." Zhu Su looked at Zhu Biao." But do you need me to continue?"”
Zhu Biao stopped talking and sighed deeply.
The first thing Li Shanchang did after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne was to take power from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Left Prime Minister, you're the head of all officials. Why are you still trying to rope in all the officials?
Wasn't this courting death?
Zhu Biao did not continue the topic.
"Alright, let's just treat today's matter as a casual chat between us brothers. Remember, don't say a word outside.”Zhu Biao warned his younger brother seriously. He planned to use Zhu Su's excuse to deal with his father.
Of course, Zhu Biao would not betray Zhu Su. He told Zhu Yuanzhang that this was his own idea.
It was not that Zhu Biao was greedy, but he knew that according to Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, Zhu Su's talent in some aspects might not be a good thing for him.
What Zhu Biao could do was to do his best to protect Zhu Su's safe growth.
As for the future…
Zhu Biao put aside the teacup that Zhu Su had just drunk and began to read the memorial again.
The future was too far away, so he could only talk about it in the future.
