The brothers talked again, and Zhu Di suddenly asked, "Big brother, is it your father's will to pick us up?" ”

"Huh? Not really. It was because my brother heard that you were coming, so he waited here on his own. Daddy has a lot of opportunities, I'm afraid I don't know yet. What's wrong? Zhu Biaoqi said.

Zhu Di's face stiffened, thinking that his father specially asked his eldest brother to pick up people, which meant that he had been thinking about it for a long time, and maybe he would be exempted from the sin of secretly leaving Beijing with his second brother. But the eldest brother said that his father didn't know it yet......

Zhu Laosi can be regarded as understanding what it means to be close to home.

Even though he had personally killed the enemy chieftain in Shanhaiguan and had personally experienced the battle of thousands of troops fighting each other, in front of Zhu Biao, he was still just a young brother seeking the protection of his eldest brother. He pulled Zhu Biao's sleeve and said with a bit of flattery: "That...... Big brother, can you accompany me and my second brother to see my father together? ”

"If Daddy is angry, big brother, you can help say a few good words......"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! Big brother, you must accompany you! Zhu Fan also suddenly realized, and Zhu Di and Zhu Di held Zhu Biao left and right, for fear that this life-saving straw would escape.

Zhu Biao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since you two are afraid, why did you bother in the first place?" ”

"Don't worry. Although the two of you were indeed messing around at the beginning, what you did later was remarkable. ”

"Dad is preparing to reward you at the morning party tomorrow. And there have been a lot of state affairs recently, and I don't have time to blame you when I think about it. ”

When Zhu Fan and Zhu Di heard this, they were overjoyed, and they felt like they were out of the country for the rest of their lives.

Because it was getting late, Zhu Biao was worried about the tiring journey of his three younger brothers, so he placed the group in a town outside the city to rest for the night. Accommodation and so on have already been arranged by Zhu Biao. Zhu Su has some experience of Zhu Biao's details.

However, Chang Mao and Ru Taisu were homesick, so they said goodbye to Zhu Su and went back to the city. Zhu Su also instructed Di Meng to take the nurses' camp to Huangzhuang for resettlement, anyway, this is already around the imperial capital, and there are Zhu Biao's prince guards to escort him, so he doesn't have to worry about any safety matters at all.

Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, the group set off into the city, and when they arrived at the city gate, they saw the two tigers beside Lao Zhu, who were waiting at the city gate with a few carriages.

Erhu also saw them, and hurriedly greeted them with people: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Three Princes." ”

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that the three highnesses will be summoned to the Heavenly Palace."

"Enter the palace at this time?" Zhu Biao was stunned, today is the day of looking at the sun, it is the day of the great court meeting. At this time, if they want their brother to enter the palace, is there any state matter?

After a turn of thought, he had already guessed a little, turned to Zhu Su and smiled at the others: "Presumably, it is to reward the three of you for meritorious deeds!" ”

When Zhu Di and Zhu Fan heard this, their faces showed joy. However, Zhu Su seemed to be in a lack of interest and not interested at all.

Except for Zhu Biao, who is destined to inherit the great cause in the future, Lao Zhu basically looks like a "strict father" to the other sons. On weekdays, I don't say that I praise it, but I encourage one or two, but I rarely speak. For Zhu Di and Zhu Zhang, getting Lao Zhu's praise is tantamount to a great affirmation of himself.

And Zhu Su is not uncommon. The greater the reward, the greater the responsibility. According to Lao Zhu's temper, if they are rewarded for their merits and deeds at the court meeting, I don't know what heavy responsibilities will follow.

If he finally returned to Beijing and relieved himself of the envoy and had to take on a new heavy responsibility, Zhu Su expressed his gratitude to him.

But now that the two tigers and the carriage are blocking people at the city gate, can they still run away or what? Besides, Zhu Su didn't have the courage to resist and disobey the order on the surface.

Lao Zhu's dragon belt is not a good stubble.

Helpless, Zhu Su could only follow Zhu Biao, Zhu Zhang, and Zhu Di together, get into the carriage prepared by the two tigers, and go straight to Fengtian Palace. Fortunately, the first thing they did when they returned to Beijing was to enter the palace, so they had already changed into princely robes, and they also saved the effort of changing clothes.

By the time they entered the palace gate, it was already past the time to enter the palace. Zhu Su and several people were taken to the side hall of Fengtian Hall by the two tigers, and they could only enter the hall when the two tigers went to the temple first.

After a while, the brothers saw a chamberlain coming: "Your Majesty has a decree, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan will lead His Royal Highness King Qin, His Royal Highness King Yan, and His Royal Highness King Wu into the palace!" ”

"Let's go." Zhu Biao stood up and led his three younger brothers into the palace to face the king. The Fengtian Hall of the Shuowang Japanese Dynasty Meeting was still solemn, and hundreds of civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, watching Zhu Biao enter with the three princes.

Under the dragon chair, Zhu Biao saluted and said, "Son-in-law Zhu Biao, lead the three younger brothers into the meeting." Father's holy bow is blessed. ”

"Why should you be polite?" The old Zhu, who had not been seen for a long time, sat on the dragon chair and looked at the three Zhu Su behind Zhu Biao with a smile. The three of them also knew that they should not come nonsense, so they learned from Zhu Biao and said: "The child Zhu Su (Zhu Zhang, Zhu Di) visited his father, and his father bowed to the emperor!" ”

"Okay, okay." Lao Zhu nodded, his eyes left the three sons who had not seen him for a long time, and looked at His Royal Highness's ministers and said, "Our three sons have arrived, what was being discussed before, let's stop for a while." ”

"A few days ago, Qiu Cheng escorted Naha out of the sky. The situation of Jizhen at that time has also been explained. ”

"This matter has already been spread all over the world. You should also know the merits of our three sons. ”

Lao Zhu opened the sect with a clear righteousness, and Zhu Fan and Zhu Di both straightened their waists. Especially Zhu Di, whose credit in the battle formation was recognized by his father, it was even more comfortable than eating a bowl of smoothie in the summer.

Lao Zhu glanced at the civil and military officials slightly, and continued: "If you have merit, you should be rewarded, but you can't be rewarded indiscriminately. Therefore, we still need you to wait here and discuss it with us. ”

"Let's prepare, King Zhun Yan and King Wu will open the mansion in advance."

"In addition, let the three of them also receive some practice."

"Zhu Di, the king of Yan, temporarily took the title of envoy of Jinyi Weizhen, Zhu Su, the king of Wu, temporarily took the title of the prince of the country, and Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, temporarily took the title of the imperial history of the right capital. What do you think? ”

Let the prince lead the real job in the court...... Do you want to let the princes experience it before they become a feudal lord? Zhu Su thought secretly.

In the original Hongwu Dynasty, before the prince became a vassal, he needed to study and experience for several years in Fengyang Mansion, the central capital, before he could go out to become a vassal. However, the prince of the Hongwu Dynasty still has a lot of wonders, and the end is not too good, I think Lao Zhu has also reflected, maybe in Fengyang, there are still some mountains and emperors far away.

That's why I want to place the princes directly in the court and train under my nose.

And although it has not yet been announced, Lao Zhu's current idea must be that it is best to divide the vassal kings into foreign countries to expand their territory. Get in touch with some practices first, and in the future, these sons will expand the territory for Daming outside, and he can rest assured.

Zhu Su was secretly thinking about it here, but he didn't expect that the brothers had not yet reacted, and the team of civil officials behind them heard such an arrangement, and gradually began to make noise.
