Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 398
The brothers talked again, and Zhu Di suddenly asked: "Brother, is it Dad's order that you come to pick us up?"

"Huh? That's not true. It's because I heard that you were coming, so I waited here by myself. Dad has a lot of things going on every day, so I'm afraid I don't know. What's wrong?" Zhu Biaoqi asked.

Zhu Di's face froze, he thought that his father specially asked his elder brother to pick him up, which meant that he missed his son after a long absence, and maybe he would save himself and his second elder brother from the crime of secretly leaving Beijing.But the eldest brother said that father didn't even know...

Fourth Zhu understands what it means to be close to home and feel timid.

Even though he personally beheaded the enemy chieftain in Shanhaiguan, and he has personally experienced the battle of thousands of troops and horses fighting each other, but in front of Zhu Biao, he is still just a younger brother who seeks the protection of his elder brother.He tugged at Zhu Biao's sleeve, and said flatteringly, "Then... elder brother, can you accompany me and second elder brother to see father together?"

"If Dad Lei Ting is furious, brother, you can help to say a few good words..."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! Big brother, you must be with me!" Zhu Xi also suddenly realized, and he and Zhu Di supported Zhu Biao on the left and the right, fearing that this life-saving straw would escape.

Zhu Biao shook his head and smiled wryly: "Since you two are afraid, why bother?"

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

"Father is preparing to reward you at the court meeting tomorrow. Besides, there are so many state affairs recently, I don't have time to blame you."

When Zhu Xi and Zhu Di heard about it, they were overjoyed, and felt like they would survive a catastrophe.

As it was getting late, Zhu Biao was worried about his three younger brothers who were tired from the journey, so he arranged the group of people to rest in a town outside the city for the night.Board and lodging and so on have already been arranged by Zhu Biao.Zhu Su has some understanding of Zhu Biao's carefulness.

On the contrary, Chang Mao and Ru Taisu, because they missed home, said goodbye to Zhu Su and others first, and went back to the city.Zhu Su also asked Di Meng to take the nurse battalion to Huangzhuang for resettlement. Anyway, this place is already around the imperial capital, and there is Zhu Biao's prince guard leading guards, so there is no need to worry about safety matters at all.

Nothing to say all night.In the early morning of the next day, a group of people set out to enter the city, and when they reached the gate of the city, they saw Erhu, the guard beside Lao Zhu, waiting at the gate of the city with several carriages.

Erhu also saw them, and rushed up with his people: "His Royal Highness, the three princes."

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that the three Highnesses will meet in Fengtian Hall."

"Entering the palace at this time?" Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment. Today is Wangri, the day of the Great Court Meeting.At this time, asking their brothers to enter the palace, is there some kind of state affairs?
Turning my mind, I already guessed a little bit, turned around and smiled at Zhu Su and the others: "It must be to reward the three of you for meritorious deeds!"

When Zhu Di and Zhu Xi heard the words, joy appeared on their faces.Zhu Su, on the other hand, seemed uninterested and totally uninterested.

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 talk about compliments, but I seldom open my mouth to encourage one or two.For Zhu Di and Zhu Xi, being praised by Lao Zhu is tantamount to a great affirmation of himself.

But Zhu Su is not unusual.The greater the reward, the greater the responsibility must be.According to Lao Zhu's temperament, if they were rewarded for their meritorious service at the court meeting, they would not know what heavy responsibilities would follow.

After finally returning to Beijing to take off the mission and take on new important responsibilities, Zhu Su expressed his gratitude and gratitude.

But now that the two tigers and the carriage are blocking people at the gate of the city, what if he can still run?Besides, Zhu Su didn't have the guts to defy the order in the open.

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

With no choice but to follow Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di, Zhu Su got into the carriage prepared by the two tigers and headed straight for Fengtian Temple.Fortunately, the first thing they did when they returned to Beijing was to enter the palace, so they had already changed into the prince's robes, which 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 others were taken to the side hall of Fengtian Hall by Erhu, and they could only enter after Erhu went to report first.

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

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

When he got under the dragon chair, Zhu Biao saluted and said: "My son, Zhu Biao, bring the three younger brothers to see me. My father, the emperor, bows to me."

"Why do you have to be so polite, Biaoer?" Old Zhu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, sat on the dragon chair and looked at the three Zhu Su behind Zhu Biao with a smile on his face.The three of them also knew that at the court meeting, they should not do anything foolish, and imitated Zhu Biao's manner and saluted: "My son Zhu Su (Zhu Yu, Zhu Di) pays respects to the father, and the father bows to all blessings!"

"Okay, okay." Lao Zhu nodded, looked away from the three sons he hadn't seen for a long time, looked at the ministers of His Royal Highness and said: "Our three sons have arrived, and we are discussing things earlier, let's stop for a while Bar."

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

"This matter has already been passed on in Yingtian. You should also know the credit of our three sons."

Old Zhu Kaizong clarified righteousness, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di straightened their backs.Especially for Zhu Di, his father recognized his contribution on the battlefield, which is more comforting than eating a bowl of smoothie in summer.

Old Zhu glanced briefly at all civil and military officials, and continued: "You should be rewarded for meritorious service, but you should not be rewarded indiscriminately. Therefore, you need to wait here and discuss with us."

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

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

"The King of Yan, Zhu Di, is temporarily in charge of Jinyiwei Town Fushi, the King of Wu, Zhu Su, is temporarily in charge of Guozijian Jijiu, and the King of Qin, Zhu Yu, is temporarily in charge of Youqian Capital Censor. What do you think?"

Letting the princes take real positions in the court... Do you want to let the princes experience some experience before taking over the feudal domain?Zhu Su thought to himself.

In the original Hongwu Dynasty, before the prince became a feudal clan, he had to study and practice in Fengyang Mansion, the central capital, for several years before he could go out and become a feudal clan.However, the princes of the Hongwu Dynasty are still many strange things, and their fate is not very good. I think Lao Zhu has also reflected on it. Perhaps the experience in Fengyang is still a bit high and the emperor is far away.

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

And although it has not been announced yet, Lao Zhu's current thinking must be that it would be best to entrust the vassal kings to foreign countries to expand their territories.Get in touch with some practice first, and he can rest assured that these sons will expand the territory of Daming outside in the future.

Zhu Su was thinking secretly here, but he didn't expect that the brothers hadn't reacted yet, and the civil servants behind heard about this arrangement, and gradually started to clamor.
