Chapter 187: First Encounter

Next is the face saint and the award, yes, only the award, Zhu Di only got a material reward of one million ingots, and the title belonged to the two former Yuan generals.

In fact, for this, Zhu Di can fully understand that he is a vassal king and a garrison, will there be any other official positions to take on, it is already good to get material rewards, and he can also reward his soldiers, as long as he can leave a good impression on his father, it is already quite good.

After accepting the reward, Zhu Di finally came down easily and lived in the Wei Mansion as usual, and inevitably bumped into the little son Xu Zengshou again.

Today's "little boy" has grown into a handsome "big boy", after all, he is already in his twenties, but when he saw Zhu Di, he was still as affectionate as he was when he was a child, and Zhu Di still cared for him as always.

"Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for so long, and I'm going to miss me to death, so why don't I accompany you to the streets."

Xu Zengshou said in front of him.

Zhu Di couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart: How can I be so idle as you. But I still have to make a very patient appearance,

"I still have some things to do, and I can't go with Zengshou."

"Where? What to do? Shall I go with you? ”

Xu Zengshou was afraid that he would run away, so he asked repeatedly.

Zhu Di deliberately looked at him and said,

"Okay, I'm going to go into the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, if I can go with him, I can just reduce the boredom on the road."

"Into the palace?"

Xu Zengshou immediately showed a bitter face, knowing that he was a foreign minister, he couldn't enter the inner palace, and he was waiting outside when he went, so it was better not to go, so he muttered,

"I'll wait for you at home."

"Okay then."

Zhu Di smiled secretly in his heart, left Zhu Pingle in the mansion, and only took Zheng He into the palace to see Zhu Biao.

It's just that seeing the eldest brother this time really surprised him, because Zhu Biao looked even more emaciated and haggard than before, which couldn't help but remind him of what Dao Yan once said that the prince's life is only ten years.

Thinking of this, he felt a stirring in his heart for no reason, making him break out in a cold sweat. Probably seeing that his face was wrong, Zhu Biao pulled him up from the ground who knelt down to give a salute, and then asked with concern,

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? Isn't it unwell? ”

"Oh, nothing,"

Zhu Di settled down and took advantage of the situation,

"The younger brother saw that the eldest brother's face was so pale, but he was just a little worried. Big brother, how are you doing lately? ”

"Big brother, I'm fine,"

Hearing him say this, Zhu Biao smiled reassuringly,

"My body has always been like this, let you bother the fourth brother."

"Big brother is fine."

Zhu Di exhaled the breath he was holding in his heart, let out a long breath, and sat down on the chair with his head drooping.

The two brothers chatted here, Zhu Di told about the military situation at the border pass, and promised that the few remaining remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were not to worry about at all, and at the same time learned many things in the capital from what Zhu Biao said.

Chatting and chatting, Zhu Biao's tone suddenly became a little hesitant, as if he had something to say but felt inconvenient to say. Zhu Di didn't feel strange at first sight, and said,

"Big brother, what's wrong with you? Isn't there anything that the little brother did not do well? ”

"Ah, it's nothing,"

Zhu Biao smiled and said,

"Fourth brother, you and I are close relatives, as the eldest brother, I think there are some things that I still need to remind you."

"Oh, of course,"

And so it was

Of course, Zhu Di understands that with Zhu Biao's personality, he will not find fault with anyone, since he said it, he must have heard something from someone else, so he said,

"You are my elder brother, of course you have to warn the younger brother if there is anything you need to pay attention to, the eldest brother has everything to say."

"That's good,"

Seeing that the fourth brother was so reasonable, Zhu Biao also relaxed a little and said,

"The fourth brother has a splendid mind and great talent, which is admirable, but he can tolerate other generals, such as General Lan Yulan, they are both seniors and elders, and it is inevitable that they will be arrogant and laissez-faire in front of the fourth brother, what our brothers have to do is not to care too much, let alone take it to heart, otherwise, it will not be good to be said by others."

In fact, Zhu Biao really wronged his fourth brother when he said this, in terms of his attitude towards Lan Yu, although Zhu Di hated him very much, but on the surface, he was also polite, but he still let the general run to Zhu Biao and said something.

In fact, Lan Yu did more than just "say something", but warned Zhu Biao to be careful of this Yan King, and said that he had the air of an emperor or something. Of course, Zhu Biao didn't care about these words, all he was worried about was that if the fourth brother was estranged from these seniors, it would be bad for anyone to make trouble in the end.

It turned out to be blue jade

In fact, even if you guess, you can guess that it is him, although you still know what the other party said, but from this point of view, simply giving in is not the best way to solve the problem.

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhu Di was still calm on the surface, and said with a sincere smile on his face,

"What the eldest brother said is that the younger brother will definitely pay attention to these things, please rest assured that the eldest brother can rest assured."

"That's good, it's for the best."

Zhu Biao's face also showed a smile of relief.

The two brothers were talking, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from the side hall, and then the figure of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man appeared from behind the curtain, and then came to Zhu Biao and knelt down and kowtowed.

"The boy greets his father."

"Done your homework for today?"

Zhu Biao didn't immediately let the young man get up, but asked.

As if accustomed to it, the young man knelt there and replied respectfully,

"Back to my father, the child has done all his homework for today."

"Good,"

Zhu Biao's voice is gentle and majestic,

"This is your fourth uncle, Yan Wang Chitose, come and salute."

"Yes,"

The young man immediately turned to Zhu Di on the ground, and kowtowed in a proper manner.

"The fourth uncle is above, and the little nephew Zhu Yun will give you a gift."

This was the first encounter between Zhu Di and Zhu Yun, and later, many years later, Zhu Di can still recall this scene at that time.

At this time, Zhu Biao turned his head and said,

"Fourth brother, this is my eldest son Zhu Yun, you will have more guidance to him when you have the opportunity in the future."

"Oh, big brother, don't be so polite,"

Zhu Di hurriedly waved his hand, and looked at Zhu Yundao again,

"Virtuous nephew, please hurry up, it's all your own family, you don't have to be so polite."

With permission, Zhu Yunfang stood up and still stood aside with a well-behaved look, but Zhu Di could also see that he was secretly looking at himself with careful and curious eyes.

Still a kid after all

Thinking like this in his heart, he also looked at his nephew, and gradually found that in this young man, somehow he could see the shadow of his father, and this discovery made him feel a little uneasy and even jealous for no reason...... 2k reading web
