After Zhu Biao made an announcement, he walked directly into the imperial study. He originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was still reviewing the endless memorials, but he unexpectedly saw another figure.
Zhu Biao glanced at the man unexpectedly, then saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "My son, I will meet my father!"
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the chair and said: "Get up, Biao'er, do you still know this person?"
Zhu Biao then looked at him carefully, and his father said that he still knew him, which meant that he should have been in contact with this person.
The man was in his twenties, with an ordinary appearance, except for his sharp eyes, his expression was peaceful, and he looked at Zhu Biao with respect in his eyes.
The man turned around and knelt down on one knee to Zhu Biao and said, "I see your highness, your highness Qianqiu!"
When Zhu Biao heard this voice, he immediately remembered this person. When he was still the crown prince of King Wu, he was ordered to go to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and secretly commanded his own troops to protect Quanxu, the minister of Wu Prince's palace.
Zhu Biao said with a gentle face: "It must be Quan Xu, get up. I would like to thank you for secretly protecting me back then."
Quan Xu lowered his head and replied: "How dare I accept His Highness's words of thanks? This is just my duty!"
Zhu Biao nodded and said nothing. He had never seen this person again since he returned home. It must have been Zhu Yuanzhang who had arranged for him to do other things.
However, these had nothing to do with him. After Quan Xu bowed and left, Zhu Biao smiled and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, I have come here to ask for something, and I hope that my father will be kind to you."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Those bastards are begging you again! They all want to go to the battlefield because they can't read well. Do they think it's a child's game of war?"
Zhu Biao excused his brothers: "The nine sons of Longsheng are all different. The brothers are not willing to sit in the house and read the Four Books and Five Classics, but are willing to ride horses and shoot arrows in the scorching sun. It shows that they are not unable to endure hardships, but they have different ambitions."
"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction. What he was most happy about was that the princes could live in harmony. The younger ones all respected the eldest son, and the eldest son Zhu Biao was also competent as an elder brother!
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang nod, Zhu Biao continued: "My sons and brothers were born in a deep palace and grew up with women's hands. They have never known sorrow, worry, labor, fear, or knowledge."
Danger!"
"Now my father is sending his sons to the Northern Expedition, with the intention of tempering them. My sons are thinking of my father's love! Now my brothers are already quite old. Since they are determined to be on the battlefield, please give them a chance."
.”
Zhu Biao spoke very sincerely. After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son seriously and asked: "Their status is different from that of the generals, and it is not necessarily a good thing to aim at the battlefield. Are you sure you want to intercede for them?"
Zhu Biao nodded seriously, with a noble smile on his handsome face and said: "My minister is already a great general."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed a few times and then said to the eunuch on the side, "Go and call those outside."
The eunuch hurriedly accepted the promise and left.
Zhu Biao walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and stood beside him.
After a while, the three brothers who were interested in the battlefield came pushing and shoving. After seeing the dark-faced Zhu Yuanzhang, they immediately knelt down in a row and said: "My sons, please see my father. Long live my father!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "You three don't know how to study hard, but you only know how to be strong and competitive! What? I heard that your eldest brother is going to lead an army, and you can't sit still?"
The three brothers were immediately confused. They just wanted to gain knowledge with their eldest brother. How dare they be competitive with him!
The prince, who was more than ten years old, already understood everything they should know. They immediately realized that their father was going to beat them, but they were still a little panicked.
The third child, Zhu Fan, quickly replied: "Father, I am aware that I just want to go out with my eldest brother to see him, and I don't dare to be competitive!"
The second child was too frightened to speak, so Zhu Di said: "If my father gives me permission, I will lead the horse and whip for the eldest brother, and I will never dare to think otherwise!"
The second child just pressed his head tightly to the ground: "I will obey my father's wishes in everything!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not change at all: "You must obey me in everything! Then why don't you come directly to beg us, but go to your elder brother?"
The three of them looked at each other pitifully and replied: "My father is so majestic that my sons and ministers dare not face him directly!"
When Zhu Biao saw that it was almost done, he walked up to his brothers and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "My brothers are also eager to serve the country. I sincerely ask my father to show mercy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and then said: "Since the prince has interceded for you, then I will agree to it. But remember it all. I am not letting you go to the army just for fun. If we know that you don't keep it,
If you cause trouble under military law, we will beat you to death!"
The three princes, who were frightened, were as listless as saplings after death, and withdrew their heads with wilting eyes.
After they retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly relaxed. He took a sip of tea and said, "Biao'er, what do you think of these three brothers? Don't use those empty words."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I'll just tell you the truth. The second and third brothers are nothing more than middle-class talents. Only the fourth brother, although still young, is brave and decisive. His personality is similar to that of his father, and his future is limitless!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "The second and third are strong but strong in the middle. If they were not born into the royal family, they would probably starve to death. In the future, you just need to give them a fortune."
"Only the fourth child, his character determines that his future ambitions will not be small. If you use him well in the future, he will be your right-hand man. But if you use him poorly, I am afraid that a civil strife will not be far away."
Zhu Biao said sternly: "As a prince, I should have the courage of a prince. It's nothing if my fourth brother is ambitious. He is a high-ranking prince, and naturally he will not be willing to succumb to others. But I have the advantage, if
If you still can't suppress your fourth brother, then it's your own problem.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and the father and son discussed the whereabouts of the three princes again, before Zhu Biao resigned.
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the East Palace. With the stability of the throne, Comrade Zhu's pressure became stronger and stronger. Every move, word and deed put people under endless pressure. Even Zhu Biao felt a little breathless.
gas.
This is why the three brothers just now were still panicking even though they knew that their father was just giving them a beating.
When your life and death, honor and disgrace depend on someone else's thoughts, you will feel that that person is so tall and majestic and irresistible!
