Chapter 13: Prince Zhu Biao
In the main hall, there are not only these princes, but also some of the sons and daughters of the princes who are here to accompany the prince. When they saw that the master was gone, they all laughed and gathered around him. are all young men with no scheming, and the scene is also warm.
Zhu Su was smiling and looking at Zhu Di and Zhu Di bickering, and I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Ah, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see a boy dressed in moon-white clothes, carrying a basket of things in his hand, just crossing the threshold of the study.
It was the crown prince Zhu Biao.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" And everybody immediately saluted.
"Shhh Zhu Biao hurriedly made a silent gesture, "Don't be silent!" ”
"Master Li hasn't gone far yet, don't recruit him!"
Seeing him doing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Two noble sons immediately walked out of the study and went outside to let out the wind.
"Brother, what delicious food did you bring this time?" Zhu Di leaned over.
"Your sister-in-law specially burned it." Zhu Biao smiled and took out the still steaming food from the basket. "Hey, salted duck, squirrel fish, Jinling balls......" Zhu Di said, and he didn't take chopsticks, but wanted to stretch out his hand.
"What a system!" Zhu Biao slapped Zhu Di's hand away. "It's all crowned kings, and it's still not four or six."
Turned his head to look at Zhu Su: "Old Five, the injury a few days ago, is it healed?" ”
"Back to Big Brother, it's okay anymore." Zhu Su replied with a smile.
After the crown prince Zhu Biao became married, he left the main hall. He knows the difference in food in the palace, and the imperial chef Xu Xingzu is a rough man, and the food is only served according to the number of people. However, the younger brother and the other companions are all half-sized children with long bodies, and the meal served at noon in the main hall is often not enough.
When the school day was left in the afternoon, the kings and the sons of the princes were often so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.
Therefore, he took advantage of the fact that he had already opened a mansion and secretly asked the crown princess Chang to open a small stove for his younger brothers to cook some food, and he thought of avoiding the gentlemen and sending it to his younger brothers.
When the children of the Great Hondo met His Royal Highness the Prince, they knew that they would not be hungry for today's lunch.
At the beginning, when he saw Zhu Biao doing this kind of thing, Zhu Su also doubted whether he was scheming and deliberately engaged in brotherhood, brotherhood, and corporal Lixian.
After a long period of contact, Zhu Su found that this person was a true gentleman.
He is very kind to everyone, almost without any purpose, and he really takes care of his brothers. He knew that Zhu Su was reluctant to go out and was worried that his brothers would be estranged from him, so he often took him to participate in the activities of his brothers, and often asked if anyone underestimated him;
He knew that the fourth Zhu Di liked martial arts, so he gave Zhu Di the gift sword that Zhu Yuanzhang gave him when he was a child;
He knew that Zhu Fan liked to eat meat, and he always put his share of meat in Zhu Zhang's bowl during family banquets;
He knew that Zhu Li liked books, so he helped Zhu Li collect ancient and modern books. even gave him a copy of the original "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" from the Three Kingdoms period......
This is a gentle, righteous future king. His body reveals the brilliance of Confucian "benevolence" everywhere. But unlike those stupid masters who are pedantic and inflexible, he has a very correct idea, and he is accustomed to thinking for himself in advance, and never blindly listens to others. If he finds that his actions are wrong, he can always be the first to admonish and reflect, and never insist on going his own way. But once he believes that his decision is correct, he is always consistent. is his father, who is the one who says nothing about it, and he dares to offend him from the front.
If Lao Zhu's methods are like rolling thunder from above the nine heavens. Then this prince Zhu Biao is a spring breeze that turns into rain.
Seriously, when he just found out that he had crossed into a prince, Zhu Su was so idle that he thought about whether he wanted to fight for a big position. But after getting to know this eldest brother of the crown prince, he didn't have this mind.
When it comes to being an emperor, whether it is personal morality or ability, he is far inferior to him.
It's just a pity......
"Big brother, your eyes ......" While others were grabbing vegetables to eat, Zhu Su keenly noticed that there were wisps of bloodshot in Zhu Biao's eyes. In the always gentle smile, there is also a tiredness that cannot be concealed.
"Huh?" Zhu Biao turned his face and realized that what Zhu Su was talking about was the bloodshot in his eyes, he rubbed his eyes a little embarrassedly: "I have more worries these days, so I haven't slept well." ”
"It's okay, it'll be fine after a while."
"Is it a matter of the Northern Expedition?" Zhu Li was also concerned. "It is reported that the Northern Expedition army was ambushed, and the vast desert was blocked, and it was difficult to know the specific situation. Some people in the DPRK are worried that Meng Yuan will take advantage of the situation to invade the south, and the eldest brother is also worried about this? ”
"There are indeed people in the DPRK and China who propose to increase the troops on the Great Wall. But my father had already made a decision. I think my father is confident, and this matter should be fine. Zhu Biao said. He sighed: "I have been fighting for many years in the Ming Dynasty, and the people have long been unbearable. If the army is really increased, the people will suffer again. ”
"If you don't increase the troops, Meng Yuan will call, won't you suffer the same?" Zhu Di joined the conversation with a duck bone in his mouth. "Besides, since my father already has a way, why are you still worried, eldest brother?"
"But that's not all." Zhu Biao's tone was heavy. "Recently, it has been eventful, and there has been a big flood in Xianyou County, Xinghua Prefecture, Fujian Province, Wuchen, and many people have drowned."
"There are holes in Yanzhou in Gengwu again, and attacking and killing the defenders will be the chaotic party."
"Heavy rain in Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture, overflowing with mountains and rivers and drifting away from the house; Hail fell again on the mountains of Zhongdu, and its hail was as big as a projectile......"
"As the crown prince, I am useless, and I can't help my father at all. Where can I sleep well......"
"Brother, you just think too much." The second Zhu Fan came over with a plate. "That's all thousands of miles away, what do we want to do so far away in Yingtian?"
"How can you say that?" Zhu Biao's face was grim. "You are also the king of my Ming domain, how can you say such a thing!"
"The vassal king......" is indeed the third child, Zhu Li smiled bitterly. Brother, our vassal king is just a name, what's the use! ”
The brothers looked at each other and smiled wryly. Two years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang did add the title of king to several of his sons.
The second Zhu Rong was named the King of Qin, the third Zhu Li was named the King of Jin, the fourth Zhu Di was named the King of Yan, and the fifth Zhu Su was named the King of Wu.
Unfortunately, that's all. These four princes should still go to school, and they should go to the kang and go to the kang. There is not even one more maid and maid.
Li Xiyan and Song Lian and other masters still should fight, and they did not relent at all because they had an extra king name in front of their names.
There is no feeling of being a "nobleman".
Haven't you seen a vassal king who is hungry every day at noon?
Hey, that's not all for today!
When I see it, I see four!
Speaking of which, Zhu Biao was also a little embarrassed. He comforted his younger brothers: "This ...... This king's name will be of great use in the future. ”
"You're still young, and you're still studying hard. When you become a vassal when you are older, you will know that the vassal king is expensive. ”
The brothers looked at each other and shook their heads. Graduation from the main hall is far away, and the hard days are still long, where can we expect the happiness of the future domain?
Zhu Su silently looked at the expressions of the brothers. Thinking of what happened to them in the historical records, I can't help but feel kinship.
These sons of Lao Zhu must have been detained in the main hall to study when they were children, reading for more than ten hours a day, without any other entertainment, and they were too depressed.
That's why after the domain, they will let go of themselves one by one, and be cruel and tyrannical one by one.
Can it not be tyrannical? has been suppressed with such a high intensity for more than ten years since he was a child, and it's okay if he is not psychopathic.
It's no wonder that after arriving in the domain where no one cares, one by one they all began to do mischief.
In the end, except for Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was messing around and often missing classes with "injuries", no one ended well.
