Zhu Biao played happily outside for an afternoon, went back to the palace, asked the other sons if they had come back, and when they heard that they hadn't come back, Zhu Biao went straight back to the room and took a hot bath.

He also asked Yun Jin to change himself into a luxurious red and white gold silk cloud robe, with a black dragon pattern shirt inside, wearing jade-inlaid bright cloud boots at his feet, a belt of twenty-four sapphires on his waist, and a black jade dragon pendant tied with red thread next to him.

Zhu Biao ignored the cannibalistic gaze of the little girls, glanced at the sky, walked to the front yard and waited, and after a while, he saw a group of flustered servants walking over surrounded by a few triumphant boys.

As soon as the servants saw Zhu Biao, their legs weakened, Zhu Biao ignored them, and took a closer look at his younger brothers to make sure that they were not injured.

Before Zhu Biao asked, the third Zhu Li proudly said, "Big brother, you don't know!" Just now we told those guys about what they played yesterday, and they were all quite envious, that Li Mao looked like something amazing. ”

"We ignored him, and after a while, that guy didn't know what was crazy, and he actually said that big brother, you are a nerd, nothing great, and we fought with them as soon as we heard it!"

The rest hurriedly said, "I also went up to fight, it's all a little expression that I have worked hard, big brother, you want to reward us!" ”

Zhu Biao knew with a smile that at first, it was mostly Li Mao who saw that the limelight was stolen, and he was a little unconvinced, but when he said this sentence later, it must have been Zhu Fan who stimulated him!

"Did it hurt you?"

The servants in the back hurriedly climbed up, "If you go back to the prince, how dare I let the little sons be injured, as soon as we saw that the fight started, we stepped forward to protect the sons!" ”

Zhu Biao waved his hand, "Go down, it's none of your business." ”

Zhu Biao asked again: "Then are they injured?" ”

Zhu Fan said, "Li Mao and they are a lot of people, although they don't dare to beat us, but they also protect him, fortunately, the fourth child took advantage of their inattention to hit Li Mao with a black circle!" ”

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Di when he heard this, "It's worthy of Yongle, it's ruthless!" ”

didn't wait for Zhu Biao to speak. I saw a few carriages coming outside, and there were men and women all leading a child, and when they saw Zhu Biao, they hurriedly stepped forward, "I have seen the prince of the world, I have come to ask for sin!" ”

Zhu Biao waved his hand, "It's just a child's play, why not talk about asking for guilt, please go back." ”

Zhu Biao politely sent them away, glanced at Zhu Fan and saw him shaking his head, so he asked the porter on the side, "Can you see that the Li family is here?" ”

The porter replied, "There is a butler here, just now at the back, the prince may not have paid attention"

Zhu Biao nodded, his eyes were cold, "If everyone didn't come, everyone else would have brought their children to ask for guilt in person, and the Li family would send a housekeeper, even if it was just a trivial matter, but this is disrespectful!"

Zhu Biao said to his younger brothers with a gentle face, "Since we have beaten people with a black circle, we have to come to apologize!" ”

Those few looked at each other, "Brother, it's enough for us not to let Li Mao apologize, how can we come to apologize!" ”

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di and said, "Fourth, do you want to go with your brother, if you don't want to, let your second brother go for you!" ”

Seven-year-old Zhu Di is not afraid of things, "Brother, I'll go with you!" ”

The third child, Zhu Li, hurriedly stopped him, and said to Zhu Biao dissatisfied, "Brother, there is no reason to go, the Li family is very powerful, but it is also comparable to whom, after all, it is not a courtier, how can we apologize!" ”

The second child, Zhu Zhang, grabbed him, "Let's go, the eldest brother has his own plans!" ”

Zhu Biao took Zhu Di's hand and walked out of the palace, where Zhang Yuan drove a carriage at the door, and there were hundreds of people around.

Waiting for the carriage, Zhu Di looked at the eldest brother who had begun to close his eyes and recuperate, and had a stomach full of questions.

But seeing that Zhu Biao didn't mean to speak, Zhu Di had no choice but to sit honestly.

After a short distance, I arrived at Li's Mansion, and saw the fog swamp and tile kilns in all directions, just like a brick.

There are four locust trees at the door, and there are upper and lower horse stones, and stakes for tying horses.

It is a brick-grinding brick and a shadow wall; The gate of Guangliang in the north of the road has a door lamp and a lazy stool under it.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate, Zhu Biao didn't get off the carriage in a hurry, just sat on the carriage, and someone went up to pass it.

After a while, I heard the footsteps of a group of people approaching: "Minister Li Shanchang, welcome the son!"

Zhu Biao then pulled Zhu Di out of the carriage and said to Li Shanchang, "Excuse me Duke Li, this time I came to ask Duke Li for my guilt, my brother was young and injured the son of your mansion, and I apologize to Duke Li for my younger brother!" ”

Zhu Biao was about to bend down after speaking, Li Shanchang grabbed Zhu Biao, "The minister is afraid, how dare the minister let the prince apologize, the minister has just returned to the house, and he doesn't know about it, otherwise he would have gone to the palace to ask the prince for guilt."

Zhu Biao smiled, and the subtext of asking the prince for his guilt is that you are not qualified to let me Li Shanchang come to apologize!

After Li Shanchang finished speaking, he turned around and didn't ask which grandson it was, so he drank directly: "Go and lock him in the firewood room, and think about it, you are not allowed to give him food without the old man's order!" ”

Zhu Biao said with a gentle face: "It's me who is waiting to apologize, how can I let the little boy be punished again!" Please forgive Gong Li! ”

Li Shanchang bent down and invited them in, Gu Zuoyan said, "How can the prince call the minister a duke?" This is not with dignity and humility, and please change your words, don't humiliate your subordinates. ”

Zhu Biao stepped into the Li Mansion, "Li Gong Mo should be modest, with your merits, isn't it natural to be knighted, I heard that there are less than two months before the founding ceremony, so I should congratulate Li Gong in advance!"

Li Shanchang didn't dare to say again, Zhu Biao looked at the surrounding layout, which was rich and elegant, compared to it, it was naturally worse than the new palace, but it was a few points better than the Wu Palace.

The smile on Zhu Biao's face added a little more, and he said to Li Shanchang on the side, "Duke Li's mansion is really magnificent, it's really enviable!" ”

Li Shanchang laughed a few times, "Why should the prince be anxious, your East Palace was built by the minister, the minister referred to various ancient documents, and invited the best craftsmen, which will satisfy the prince!" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head and walked into the main hall, there was a huge landscape map hanging inside, and below was a delicate rosewood table, Li Shanchang naturally let Zhu Biao sit on the top, Zhu Di sat under Zhu Biao, and he sat opposite Zhu Biao.

Zhang Yuan did not sit down, but stood behind Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao picked up the tea he had just served, took a sip slightly, and glanced at Zhu Di, who was sitting upright, "The fourth child drinks tea, you have also played for a day, you must be thirsty." ”

Li Shanchang also said, "But it's not the same as the taste of the fourth son?" ”

Zhu Di had no choice but to silently pick up the teacup and drink it, Zhu Biao followed Li Shanchang and pulled up the skin, this is an old fox, he doesn't leak when he speaks, but it doesn't matter!

Zhu Biao personally led his younger brother to apologize, and the matter would spread immediately, making Li Shanchang's voice more and more intense.

When the time comes, those who tend to be inflammatory, or Li Shanchang's political enemies, will naturally increase their firepower to promote Li Shanchang's momentum, and his real henchmen will try their best to suppress it.

When the time comes, it will be clear who is who.

If Li Shanchang is smart, he knows that he should defile himself, and takes the initiative to give up the competition for the prime minister, and honestly receive the title of a duke for the elderly!

As for Zhu Biao's own reputation, he is only twelve years old, and he is the future prince, but his younger brother beat someone, so he led the door to apologize late at night, what benevolence this is!

Zhu Biao followed for a while, and then led Zhu Di to leave.

Li Shanchang personally helped Zhu Biao into the carriage, and stood respectfully in place and watched the carriage leave.

Watching the carriage turn, the peaceful smile on his face flickered, and the cold light in his eyes quickly disappeared.

Looking at the family members around him, "Be honest in the future, never have a conflict with the palace, if there is, notify me immediately!" ”

Li Shanchang's wife frowned and said, "It's just a child's trouble, even the prince has come to the door in person, what else are you unhappy about!"

Li Shanchang didn't talk again, the stupidest thing in the world is to argue with him even though he knows that the other party is stupid.
