Zhu Biao choked and nodded: "Hmm." ”

His mother died, how could he not be sad.

For a while, he was under tremendous pressure, endured grief, and worked hard until late at night.

Even if he was finally able to sleep for a while, he always dreamed that Queen Ma was looking at him with a smile, and then woke up crying aggrievedly.

He finally understood what Lao Zhu said: People sitting in this position are not worthy of sadness and affection.

Because you are alone and cannot let anyone get too close to you, no one can understand you and no one will sympathize with you.

In addition to Zhu Biao, there is another person who is very lost, and that is Liu Bowen.

In the past, he just pretended to be dumb in the court, but now Lao Zhu is back.

He can only be treated as a real dumb and ornament.

How could he let go of the control that he had finally regained.

Although Lao Zhu is back to the court, he can no longer go to the imperial study, but he can still control Zhu Biao.

After dispersing the court, Liu Bowen waited for Zhu Biao in the East Palace.

Zhu Biao was slightly surprised, in fact, he didn't call Liu Bowen to come.

But these people in the East Palace were used to Liu Bowen's comings and goings, so no one stopped him.

Liu Bowen saluted Zhu Biao: "What does Your Highness think of Concubine Li Shu?" ”

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and said, "Concubine Li Shufei suddenly lost her heart and went crazy, and the palace felt a little sorry. ”

Liu Bowen shook his head: "Your Highness." Zhu Bai has taken control of the harem. Didn't Your Highness see it? ”

Zhu Biao was a little displeased: "The twelfth brother has already lived outside the palace." And after the death of the queen mother, Concubine Li has always been in charge of the harem. If you want to say that Concubine Li Shu harmed the twelve brothers, this palace thinks it is possible. ”

As soon as Concubine Li Shu came up, she changed several stewards and eunuchs. Even if there was someone who had a slightly better relationship with Zhu Bai before, he would have been replaced a long time ago.

The rest are Queen Ma's people.

Zhu Biao is still very confident in Queen Ma's harem control.

Otherwise, after so many years, how could the harem be so peaceful.

Even if Zhu Bai doesn't like Concubine Li anymore and wants to kill Concubine Li again, someone must be willing to help him.

Besides, why did Zhu Bai bother to kill Concubine Li Shu? Concubine Hu Shun is not the kind of person who fights for power at all.

Zhu Bai's temperament will not ask for people's lives for small grievances.

Liu Bowen: "Your Highness can't just look at the surface. Is it possible that King Yan wants to kill Concubine Li Shu? ”

Zhu Biao smiled: "This is even more impossible." Zhu Di is far away in Beiping. Even the main hall can't let people poison Concubine Li Shu without knowing it, how can Zhu Di be? ”

To put it mildly, my father's pro-army lieutenant, my brocade guards all eat dry rice?

Liu Bowen said again: "Your Highness must not underestimate the King of Xiang. ”

Zhu Biao finally became a little impatient: "I know." Master don't have to worry too much. Between our brothers, there is still this trust and affection. ”

He once thought that Liu Bowen had completely changed, but now he realized that appearance and modesty were just a disguise for Liu Bowen to regain control of him.

He added: "If the master is fine, you don't have to come to the East Palace all day." You've worked too hard, and the temple can't go either. ”

Liu Bowen choked, bowed his head in some frustration: "Got it." ”

As soon as Liu Bowen left, Zhu Biao told the guards not to let Liu Bowen in without his summons.

Zhu Biao does not suspect Zhu Bai, there is another reason, in fact, Concubine Hu Shun and Concubine Li Shufei are sick together.

Concubine Li Shu is making a fuss, but Concubine Hu Shun is just asleep.

One sleep is a whole day, and waking up like a nobody.

Lao Zhu asked the imperial doctor to see her twice.

The doctor said that it was caused by kidney yang deficiency, and the medicine was ineffective.

Lao Zhu asked the palace people to serve Concubine Hu Shun well, and gave a death order to the entire harem, who dared to reveal it to the King of Xiang, there was no forgiveness.

Zhu Bai didn't know that he was spending all day drinking in the palace, and he was very happy.

Therefore, even if his own mother was sick, no one told Zhu Bai, how could anyone help Zhu Bai poison Concubine Li Shu unknowingly?

The next day, Qin Tianjian said in the court: "The northern number of Yin is Tai Sui. ”

It means that there are great generals in the north who are unfavorable to Zhu Yuanzhang, implying that Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Zhu Di to the heavens.

Lao Zhu knew with his toes that it was either An Ran or Liu Bowen's instructions.

He didn't bother to argue, so he specially called Zhu Bai to the court and asked him in front of hundreds of civil and military officials: "You are Liu Bowen's closed disciple, what do you think of this matter." ”

Zhu Bai said: "Erchen thinks that Qin Tianjian is very accurate this time. ”

Everyone was surprised how Zhu Bai suddenly changed his temper.

Only Liu Bowen said secretly: "It's not good, this little king of Hades has already thought of a way to crack it." ”

Lao Zhu asked, "Oh, how do you say it?" ”

Zhu Bai said: "After the spring opened, the north was full of people and Mongolia who invaded Juyong Pass and Shanhaiguan many times. Fortunately, my fourth brother Yan Wang is guarding in Beiping, otherwise my Ming border will be in danger. ”

Zhu Biao was originally a little worried that Zhu Di's troops were too strong now, but he was relieved to hear Zhu Bai say it at this time.

Not really. and they want him to defend against the enemy, and they will not give him soldiers.

Immortals can't do it either.

Qin Tianjian was anxious: Ah, that's not how it is explained!

Your Majesty, listen to me.

Lao Zhu cast a cold murderous look at him, and said word by word: "We said it earlier." Those who dare to separate our father and son, brotherhood, will be killed. ”

Qin Tianjian immediately became dumb and bowed his head: "The emperor is wise, and the ministers don't dare." ”

Hehe, those who know the times are Junjie.

Count you spinning fast.

Lao Zhu nodded slightly: "Well, you can measure it accurately this time." Reward. ”

-----

Before Lan Yu and the others went to pick up Kang Duo, Kang Duo died in the army at the age of twenty-three.

The doctor said that it was poisonous gas that attacked the heart and caused miasma.

Zhu Bai suspected that Condor had malaria.

Lao Zhu and the others sighed, they were originally a general, but it's a pity.

Lao Zhu posthumously conferred the title of Kang Duo Qi Guogong and said "loyalty". But Kangduo didn't even have a son, so the title couldn't be passed on.

Therefore, Lao Zhu made Kang Duo's younger brother Kang Jian as General Mingwei and the commander of the Guangxi Guard, so that the Kang family would not have no support.

Zhu Bai sighed: If Kang Duo doesn't die, Zhu Yunwen may be able to resist for a while later.

Some things seem to be coincidences, but in the end, countless coincidences come together to become "inevitability" and "destiny".

Zhu Biao's desire to strengthen ties with military attachés became more and more urgent, and he quickly drew up a route for his inspection.

Starting from Yingtian, passing through Shandong to Beiping, then from Beiping to Shanxi and finally to Xi'an, Lanzhou, then to the east, south to Kaifeng, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and back to Yingtian.

Lao Zhu called Zhu Bai to the imperial study and asked him to accompany Zhu Biao to inspect.

Zhu Biao had to drag Zhu Bai on, and another reason was that he was worried that Zhu Bai would do something when he was not in Yingtian.

In Zhu Biao's eyes, Lao Zhu doted on Zhu Bai.

What Zhu Bai is doing behind Lao Zhu's back, Lao Zhu may not be able to see it, and even if he sees it, he may not be able to remain sane like everyone else.

Even for such a rebellious thing as Zhu Zhang's private aftersuit, Lao Zhu actually didn't really think about punishing Zhu Fan heavily.

If it is placed on Zhu Bai, it will be even more so.

Li Shimin killed his brother and killed his brother, didn't he become the emperor in the end.
