On weekdays, in the court, no matter who the official impeached, the military attache pretended to be deaf and dumb.

At this moment, these three should have firmly supported Zhu Biao, but they were speaking for Zhu Bai in unison, which made Zhu Biao very unhappy.

Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Biao, who was silent, and frowned almost invisibly: It was Zhu Biao who asked Zhu Bai to raise food. Now that the civilian officials are attacking Zhu Biao, he can actually stand by and watch.

This kid is becoming less and less imperial.

It's not easy for us to speak out about this, otherwise it seems that we are biased against Zhu Bai.

Zhu Biao noticed Lao Zhu's gaze, was shocked, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Erchen thinks that the twelfth brother raises military rations for my Ming Dynasty, and if he finds fault again, I am afraid it will hurt the hearts of military attachés in the world." ”

Lao Zhu saw that Zhu Biao came out to speak, and nodded: "Well, what Biao'er said is very true." At the beginning, the household department was not effective in raising food, so he had to call the old twelve to come out to raise food. He said that he didn't agree, and you said that he didn't care about state affairs and took the court's money for nothing. He promised to raise food, and you will say that he is obsessed with force. It's really not human inside and out, and you are not satisfied. ”

He intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that he would beat them up if he privately criticized several officials who were dissatisfied with the princes' high age.

Several officials were frightened, and they didn't dare to speak anymore, and they all scolded Liu Bowen in their hearts: What bad idea did you come up with with Liu Shenba? We're really not human inside and out.

When Zhu Bai came back from Guazhou, he didn't stop anymore, and hurried to catch up with Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu is about to go to Hefei at this time, and he is in a hurry.

It's all here, and I can't hide it anymore. If Lao Zhu knew, he would have to be convicted of bullying the king.

The thing he does the most every day is to stand at the gate of the post station and look west to see if there is any shadow of Zhu Bai.

After resting for six days at Lu'an Station, I couldn't go on and decided to go to Hefei tomorrow.

As a result, when it was almost dark, I heard a commotion outside.

Zhang Wu hurriedly ran out.

Zhu Bai jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "Hard work Lord Zhang." ”

Zhang Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, you are back." ”

Zhu Bai said: "Alas, alas, from tomorrow, I will be lying down." I can't ride a horse so freely anymore. ”

The next day, King Xiang and his entourage set off from Lu'an Station and returned to Yingtian in the afternoon.

Zhu Biao personally went to the city gate to greet him.

Zhu Bai was lying in the carriage, his face was pale, his lips were purple, his eyes were sunken, and he had completely lost his former radiance.

It looks a bit like Wu Zhen responding to the day when he was dying.

Zhu Biao originally thought it was Zhu Bai's trick, but now that he saw him like this, he completely believed it.

"Old Twelve, thank you for your hard work." He choked up.

Zhu Bai struggled to get up and salute Zhu Biao: "Brother Huang." ”

Zhu Biao hurriedly pressed him: "Don't get up, you have a good rest." ”

Lao Zhu was distressed, so he sent a doctor to treat Zhu Bai.

The imperial doctor went back and said, "The poison has penetrated into the bones for three points, and it has injured all the internal organs. In the future, I can't move and work hard, I can only take care of it. ”

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was like five thunderbolts, and he changed to a doctor.

As a result, the imperial doctor came back and said much the same.

Zhu Biao had a mixed feeling in his heart: Very good, you don't have to guard against Zhu Bai in the future.

However, it is also very bad. If Zhu Bai didn't have a different heart, there would be one less person I could use and one less person who could fight for me.

In the palace of the king of Xiang, the people who came to visit were like marquees.

Zhu Bai was lying on the bed, and when he met them, he couldn't answer them and sent them away.

Everyone sighed: It's a pity, the dragon and the phoenix, the talent of the heavens and the earth, have become like this at such a young age.

Zhu Bai was a little better, so he asked someone to help him enter the palace and ask Lao Zhu for his resignation.

Lao Zhu looked at it, and endured tears until he was hurt internally: Let's jump around, the elves are eccentric. How did it become like this?

"Don't be in such a hurry. Heal the wound before leaving. We're not going to chase you. ”

Zhu Bai tried to salute: "Erchen is already old, and it is not in accordance with the rules to stay in the capital." ”

Lao Zhu sighed lightly: "You really want to go back, just go." But be careful on the road and walk slowly. ”

Zhu Bai saluted again: "Got it." The son's unfilial piety made his father worried. ”

Lao Zhu couldn't hold back any longer, and the old tears were rampant: "Old twelve." ”

Zhang Yu, who came with him, knelt down and begged: "Ask the emperor to allow Weichen to stay by King Xiang's side to protect him." ”

This time Zhu Bai was injured, which really frightened Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu didn't care whether Zhu Biao was happy or not, and nodded: "Yes." You must do your best not to let King Xiang get hurt again. ”

Zhu Bai weakly held Fugui's hand, came out of the imperial study, saw Zhu Quan waiting outside, nodded to him slightly, even if he had said hello, although his pace was slow, he never stopped.

This younger brother, he rarely interacts with, so he has no feelings, and there is nothing to talk about.

Zhu Quan caught up with Zhu Bai and said, "Brother Twelve, I want to surpass you." ”

Zhu Bai stopped, turned around and looked at him with a little pity: "Well, come on." ”

Poor child, since he was a child, countless people have said in his ears that he wants to surpass Zhu Bai, to surpass Zhu Bai.

Carrying the hopes of so many elders is a driving force for those with strong hearts, but it is a shackle and a curse for the vast majority of people.

It's like a person carrying a huge burden and running desperately forward.

Hehe, don't say it's more than me, you can't even reach the corners of my clothes.

-----

Zhu Bai took a boat all the way back, and walked for half a month on the way before returning to Changsha.

Many people kowtowed to Zhu Bai on both sides of the strait, some came to redress grievances, and some came to thank him.

Zhu Baidu just showed his face in the window and waved his hand, and at night when everyone was asleep and no one was staring on the shore, he dared to come out and walk around.

As soon as the carriage entered the inner courtyard of the palace, Zhu Bai jumped down and stretched out his arm: "I'll go, but I will suffocate to death." ”

Zhang Wu and Zhang Yu exchanged glances.

Zhu Bai pretended to be too real, and even Zhang Wu and Zhang Yu were a little skeptical that he was really sick.

Zhu Bai has been pretending to be sick for several years.

Zhu Biao has been asking people to monitor Zhu Bai, and the news he got is that the king of Xiang does not come out of the palace every day.

In fact, there is a tunnel in the palace that leads directly to the outside of Changsha.

From time to time, Zhu Bai disguised himself to go to the northwest and walked around various official bureaus, but no one told Zhu Biao.

Everyone maintained a tacit understanding: Zhu Biao can't manage the bureaucracy well, which hinders everyone from making money.

To keep Zhu Bai is to keep the golden job.

Anything else was fine.

Zhu Bai met an old acquaintance - Ouyang Lun.

Since Zhu Bai left Yingtian, Hu Weiyong's case has calmed down, and Ouyang Lun's mind to engage in business has become active again.

He was so bold that he went to the Western Regions to sell tea, openly disobeyed Lao Zhu's orders, and was caught by He Suo Nanpu, the commander of Hezhou Wei.

This is simply Tai Sui's head breaking ground, and he dares to smuggle under the nose of the official tooth bureau.

But Ouyang Lun is Lao Zhu's son-in-law, and He Suo Nanpu doesn't know how to deal with him, so he can only ask someone to quietly send a letter to Zhu Bai to ask.

Zhu Bai replied with a few words: "Hold him, confiscate all the tea and payment, and wait for my news." ”

This is a lifesaver delivered to the door, and it must be kept for later use.
