Zhu Biao sat above and ordered: "I will come back tomorrow morning, and then start gathering the people as planned."
The people below looked at each other and Zhu Fan said: "Brother, we have been marching in a hurry all the way and it's time to take a rest. Why not rest for a day tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow."
The others also started to persuade him. They all saw that Zhu Biao was very tired recently, and they were not afraid of delaying the relocation for a day, but if something happened to Zhu Biao, it would be earth-shattering.
Zhu Biao also knew what they were thinking, and after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement. The soldiers really deserved a rest after wading through mountains and rivers, not to mention that he was indeed a little tired recently. The son of a rich man could not sit down in the hall, let alone a native of the Ming Dynasty.
.
Zhu Biao still attaches great importance to his body. This is not just his life. He has now gained several times more power than in history, so there are countless people involved.
So Zhu Biao ordered: "In this case, third brother, you and Fei Ju can stay here to take charge of the army. Fu Zhong leads two thousand cavalry and follow me into the city. The rest of the people should have a good rest. There will be no time to rest after the relocation begins."
.”
Everyone below bowed and agreed, Zhu Biao got up and changed into civilian clothes, and then left the camp. The officials of Pingyang Mansion all stood respectfully and waited. Zhu Biao nodded and got on his mount. Fu Zhong shouted at the side.
, the army immediately divided two thousand cavalry.
After a while, the guard Zhu Biao set off for Pingyang Mansion. After they left, Zhu Fan said to Fei Ju: "Two thousand people are a bit too few. Please arrange manpower to follow up immediately in Pingliang. Make sure my brother
safety.”
Fei Ju also had this plan for a long time. No matter how cautious the country is, he made a promise to the King of Chu and then went down to make arrangements. Zhu Fan put his hands behind his back and smiled. His eldest brother would know about this sooner or later, and he could just say it.
Why not do it if you want to win favors?
Anyway, the throne is not his turn. Since he can't be the emperor, then he should be the most comfortable king and follow the eldest brother and have a good time. It is better than following the second and fourth brother everywhere and offending people.
Although it was the eldest brother who made the final decision, no one dared to hate His Highness the Crown Prince. Besides, eldest brother's handling of the matter still saved a life. It was much better than falling into the hands of his father. Everyone must thank the eldest brother for his extra mercy.
Naturally, the most hated ones are the second and fourth sons who have not done anything for their kindness, just like the Marquis of Yangling and Marquis of Cangping who have been sent to Fengyang. Although they are bastards, there are still many good brothers in the army.
Although the nobles did not dare to do anything to the second and fourth elders, they did not want to have any respect for each other. From now on, the three of them would become feudal lords and would have to interact with the military. Now that they are doing this...
Zhu Fan smiled and shook his head. The eldest brother had a deep thought and occupied the right time, place and people. He was invincible!
Half an hour later, Zhu Biao and others arrived at the city gate. Officials who were not qualified to visit the prince were also waiting here. Zhu Biao also gave a few words of encouragement, and then the prefect of Pingyang dismissed the prince on the grounds that he was tired from traveling all the way.
officers.
When Zhu Biao was delivered to the door of Zhang's Mansion, he winked at his future in-laws, then bowed and left. Before leaving, he said that he would invite His Highness to a banquet tomorrow so that they could express their feelings.
Zhu Biao nodded and did not refuse. After coming here, he was no longer afraid of dealing with people. It was always useful. Pingyang Mansion was rich in products and was considered a transportation thoroughfare. The officials who could serve here had relatively high potential, but they might not be able to do so in the future.
You cannot jump to the court.
At this time, a group of people had already knelt in front of the Zhang Mansion. Zhu Biao turned around and dismounted, looking at the figure of the woman kneeling at the front. He had not seen her for so many years, and it was really touching. Unknowingly, he had already come so far.
long time.
Mrs. Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, was also very excited at this time. She was Empress Ma's dowry girl. She married her daughter into the Zhu family since she was a child, and she saw the son's birth with her own eyes. Even if she married later, she never had a problem.
Ri let go of his concern for their mother and son.
Seeing the crowd approaching, he quickly cheered up and led his family members to greet him in unison: "Greetings to His Royal Highness, Your Highness Qianqiu."
Zhu Biao approached and said with a smile: "No gifts, I haven't seen you for many years. How is Sister Yu'er doing?"
Zhang couldn't stop crying when she heard this. She quickly wiped it with a handkerchief a few times, then raised her head and said with a choked voice: "Slave... I'm doing very well, the young master has grown so big..."
Although the young man in front of him looked tired, he still couldn't hide his elegant demeanor as a noble man. Zhang Wei looked at his wife and was speechless, and said quickly: "Your Highness, please go to the palace to rest."
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded. The soldiers on the side had already surrounded Zhang's house. Zhu Biao walked in first, with Zhang Wei leading the way. Zhang was helped by his son and relieved his breath.
He followed behind and walked in.
After entering the lobby, Zhu Biao sat on the table while Zhang went to the side room to put away her makeup. Zhu Biao chatted with Zhang Wei for a few words. His father had also protected Zhu Biao, but unfortunately he later died of a sudden illness.
After a while, Mrs. Zhang came back, her expression was much calmer, only her eyes were still a little red. Mrs. Zhang bowed and said, "I made your highness laugh. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I rashly invited your highness."
Come home."
Zhu Biao said softly: "It's okay. We haven't seen each other for many years. There's no need to be so polite. Sister Yu'er got married so suddenly that I didn't have time to congratulate her. It's appropriate to come and visit her."
Mrs. Zhang quickly saluted. As a slave, you should serve your master. It is your blessing that the master remembers you. So what is the reason to congratulate you.
Seeing that she was a little restrained in what she wanted to say, Zhu Biao started talking about those things when she was a child. Normally, children would forget most of their memories before the age of five, leaving only a few memorable fragments.
But Zhu Biao is different. He remembers everything in those five years very clearly. It is precisely because of this that he came here specially. This is also Zhu Biao's gratitude to Yu'er, thanking her for accompanying him during the most boring five years.
he.
Although Yu'er was very poor at coaxing children, and Zhu Biao often silently despised her, now that she thinks about it, she only feels warm. As Zhang talked about Zhu Biao's childhood, she became more and more energetic.
She was restrained because she knew that children generally cannot remember things from their childhood. She also thought that His Highness might come here for the sake of the Empress, but she did not expect that His Highness would remember everything. It was indeed the cub that she raised.
Yu'er finally sighed: "I didn't realize until I gave birth to a child that they were so stupid. They are incomparable to His Highness when he was a child. When the eldest son was born, I thought I had given birth to a fool."
The face of the seven or eight-year-old boy beside him suddenly turned red. The same goes for the little girl next to him. She has been disliked by her mother since she was a child. She always looks at her mother with a proud face and says: "Young master, at your age, you are too old."
It will be something like that...".
They always thought that there was something wrong with their brains, so they looked at the rich and powerful Crown Prince with resentful eyes. Zhu Biao felt his gaze and probably guessed something, so he smiled at them.
