Daming Wuhou

Chapter 220 Four

"What taboos in the army does Changting know?"

Lu Changting paused and thought for a while: "Can't you sing country songs? Don't drink alcohol and dereliction of duty? Do you have to obey military orders?"

Zhu Di nodded: "It's cold in winter, and it's very natural to drink some hot wine to warm up your body. Sometimes the military also drinks hot wine. But it's true that drinking alcohol is forbidden in the military. Drinking alcohol doesn't matter. The matter can be big or small, but if it leads to the consequences of dereliction of duty...it will be a big deal. When Cao Xing came over just now, he had drunk alcohol. It is hard to hide the smell of alcohol."

"No wonder his mouth is so stinky." Lu Changting smiled, "When he was under Sapphire, did he ever commit any dereliction of duty?"

"Yes. Before I came, I already got to know the people who served as my lieutenants. The affairs under Lan Yu's hands are not airtight, and they were easily found out by the people in the palace. Cao Xing never He doesn't drink alcohol, but he has dereliction of duty, and was scolded by his father, and later committed a major event, but was suppressed by Lan Yu."

"The emperor must know about it." Lu Changting said lightly, "But let's keep it for now."

Zhu Di nodded, and said: "It's a fuss over this matter, and when he returns to Yingtian, he can be... sent to prison with Lan Yu."

Lu Changting shook his head secretly, Cao Xing had already reached a dead end, but he still acted inappropriately... It seems that the previous lessons did not teach him to learn to correct himself.Is it because following Lan Yu's men and being influenced by Lan Yu, he unconsciously forgot his form?

The two didn't say much about Cao Xing.They washed together and slept together.

When he slept until the next morning, Lu Changting suddenly thought of a question.He went into Zhu Di's tent yesterday and didn't come out, isn't it a bit bad...

Lu Changting's speculation really became a reality.When he came out, there were strange gazes from around, especially those brought by Zhu Di who had rarely seen him before, all of them were extremely curious.But none of them thought it wrong, they just thought that Lu Changting and Zhu Di had a very strong and pure relationship.It made Lu Changting feel a lot more at ease.Anyway, these people will get used to the relationship between him and Zhu Di in the future, just like Yan Wang's mansion.

After washing and having breakfast, Lu Changting and Zhu Di went to the main account together.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, making it extremely difficult to clear the road.

Lu Changting could still hear Cao Xing's displeased and complaining voice: "This year's snow doesn't seem to stop... Bad luck!"

It was too inappropriate for Cao Xing to say this, Lu Changting couldn't help frowning.But when he thought that Zhu Di was ready to deal with him, Lu Changting didn't bother to visit Cao Xing.He looked up at the sky: "The snow can't stop for a while."

Cao Xing heard the voice, glanced at Lu Changting, and said with a smile: "I said that Lu Jianjun clearly has a plan...but he still refuses to say it."

"General Cao heard what I said? When did I say that I have a solution?" Lu Changting thought that this person was a fool, how could he think that he had a solution from his saying that the snow could not stop?He is not God, how could he stop?

"Why should Lu Jianjun be modest?" Cao Xing smiled and was about to say something, but Zhu Di interrupted him impatiently: "General Cao, you should go."

"But such a heavy snow..."

"General Cao, the fighter plane must not be delayed." Zhu Di turned cold.

Only then did Cao Xing vaguely realize something, but this was indeed a decision made by everyone before. All Cao Xing had to do was to escort Guantong to meet Naier Buhua. If Guantong succeeds, this is a great achievement, if not It doesn't matter, anyway, it's not very dangerous. For Cao Xing, the credit is equivalent to picking it up for nothing, so he happily accepted it, but he didn't expect that the snow would fall so heavily.

The smile on Cao Xing's face disappeared completely. He realized that the military order was like a mountain, and it was too late to regret it now.

"Yes, the last general takes orders!" Cao Xing had to say.

After going outside the tent, Cao Xing snorted coldly, "The one surnamed Lu is good at putting on airs! I heard that he is very capable, but now it seems that he is not good at fart, but he is capable of being a bastard... "

That Cao Xing was born as a general, his voice was naturally much louder than others, even though he lowered his voice, the main tent was very quiet at the moment, so everyone could hear him clearly.

Everyone knew that Lu Changting was a celebrity in front of the emperor recently, and now they heard this sentence suddenly, and the king of Yan who had a good relationship with Lu Changting was also at the side, this time it was the king of Yan who was in command... Everyone's faces were full of embarrassment. The expression suddenly became embarrassed.

Because no one spoke for a while, everyone replied, just pretend they didn't hear.

Who knew that King Yan said at this time: "This king sees that General Cao is more capable."

Everyone carefully turned their heads to look at him, and seeing Zhu Di's face covered with frost, he dared not say anything immediately.After all, it was Cao Xing himself who didn't talk about the door, and his words were too harsh. Now that he was angered by King Yan, who is to blame?But that's all.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and it would cover people's ankles in a short time. Even if he was sitting in the tent, Lu Changting could still feel the sizzle of coolness.He unconsciously raised his arms and hugged his shoulders, and Zhu Di stood up and took a cloak for him.It immediately attracted other people to look over, but they only looked at it twice, and then turned their faces away.

After all, both Zhu Di and Lu Changting behaved too naturally, and the whole Yingtian Mansion knew about the friendship between these two, and it could even be said that the whole world knew about it.After all, some time ago, Emperor Hongwu intended to spread Lu Changting's reputation, and naturally, the story of Lu Changting's friendship with King Yan was also interspersed in it.It's just that at that time most people paid attention to the fact that the crown prince appreciated Lu Changting.

Everyone looked at this scene without any fluctuations.

At this time, Cao Xing also encountered trouble.

The ground was covered with heavy snow, and the soldiers under him were quite lazy, and they were very slow in clearing the road. Cao Xing lost his patience a few times, so he simply walked forward in the snow.It's slower, but it's better than taking a few steps and then stopping to clean up.Guan Tong kept watching with cold eyes, but never said a word.

After traveling in this way for a while, they accidentally encountered a deep pit, which was covered by heavy snow and could not be seen. Only a few "plops" were heard, and Cao Xing and several soldiers around him all fell into it.Guan Tong reined in the horse in time, and nothing happened.Afterwards, in order to save people, it took a long time to toss, and Guan Tong ordered Cao Xing to send someone to escort him there, and he must not miss the opportunity.Cao Xing was furious at the bottom of the pit, completely ignoring Guan Tong's voice.

Guan Tong's face darkened, and he turned his head to ask if there were any soldiers willing to escort him there first, but no one moved, as if they were all waiting for Cao Xing to speak.

Guan Tong fell back in anger, and cursed: "Don't you know what a military order is like a mountain? The King of Yan ordered you to send me to the Naierbuhua Camp! Is this how you act? If you delay the timing , who will count this crime?"

The soldiers looked at each other, afraid to speak to each other.

In the end, two people bravely stood up: "The two of us will send the husband there."

After the group left, Cao Xing came out from the bottom of the pit. He scolded with a cold face: "If you want me to say, I should just beat this remnant yuan to pieces, what's the use of letting Guantong go? What is he! How dare you show your face to me!"

In front of Zhu Di, Cao Xing finally restrained himself by two points, but here, Cao Xing did not restrain himself at all, implying that he accused Zhu Di of making a wrong decision.

The soldiers who followed him didn't think there was anything wrong.

How did they know that this would lead to catastrophe in the future.

Although Cao Xing was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to go back like this, he led his men to chase after him, who knew that he didn't catch up with Guan Tong all the way, but he fell into a trap several times.It was already the second day when they waited until Guan Tong left the camp.

"Can't go back yet?" Cao Xing raised his voice after asking Guan Tong.

Guan Tong gave him a cold look: "How can it be so easy?"

Cao Xing lost his patience again and said: "I will leave someone here to wait for you, I will go back and report to King Yan first."

It's reinstatement, but I just don't want to stay here.Guan Tong couldn't see his thoughts, but he also knew that the other party didn't take him seriously, so Guan Tong bowed his head and said nothing, and Cao Xing assumed that he had acquiesced in this decision.

On the way back, Cao Xing fell into the pit several times, and the soldiers under his opponent had a good meal.

In such a severe cold weather, there are still obstacles everywhere, how can people not be angry?

Sometimes the more unlucky a person feels, the worse his mood will be.Cao Xing was like this, and when he saw a vast expanse of whiteness, his full of complaints rose again.He couldn't help scolding: "I said that I shouldn't go to that Guan Tong... Is it useful? They said that nothing can be done after a night, so it probably won't be done." Cao Xing now forgot, at the time When Zhu Di asked Guan Tong to go first, the other generals followed suit, and he followed suit.

On the third day, Cao Xing just returned to the camp.

Looking at it again, Cao Xing was really embarrassed.

Lu Changting came out of the tent and bumped into him. When Lu Changting saw Cao Xing's appearance, he couldn't help laughing: "Isn't General Cao going to see off Mr. Guantong? Why does it look like a drill?" It looks like a bush and a forest?" Cao Xing's face was covered with bruises, in fact, it was more like rolling his face on the ground.

How could Cao Xing allow Lu Changting to speak to him in such a tone, and immediately turned cold: "What did Lu Jianjun say?"

Zhu Di and the others also came out, and the others hurriedly asked: "General Cao, what's the matter?" They all heard the commotion outside, and they didn't want Cao Xing and Lu Changting to start a fight.

Cao Xing said in a low voice: "Guantong is still in the Canyuan Camp, and he hasn't come back with me."

"You came back first?" The rest of the people raised their eyebrows, they didn't expect Cao Xing to do such a stupid thing.

"Guantong still couldn't persuade Nai'er not to spend. In my opinion, it's better to just hit them. It's snowing right now, so if you hit them, you can catch them by surprise!" Cao Xing said.

Zhu Di asked coldly: "Did General Cao drink on the way?"

Cao Xing was taken aback for a moment, never thought that Zhu Di would punish him from this, after all he is also a marquis and an experienced general, drinking a drink is not a big deal.Cao Xing said, "It was really freezing on the road, so I drank some."

Zhu Di raised his head and glanced at the sky: "It's better to wait for Guantong to return, and everyone will follow me into the tent first."

Cao Xing also looked up unconsciously, and he was stunned when he saw it.I don't know when, the snow has gradually become smaller.It's just that his mind is full of unhappiness along the way, so why did he remember to look up at the sky? Doesn't it look like what he just said is extremely stupid?Cao Xing's face turned black, and he managed to suppress the anger in his heart.

As soon as he entered the account, he found that everyone else had already sat down.

But at this moment, Zhu Di looked up at him coldly, and suddenly shouted: "Cao Xing! Do you still know how to write the word military discipline?"

Cao Xing instinctively shivered, and immediately felt the extraordinary atmosphere in the tent.

No one said anything at this time.Cao Xing looked at the other generals, who knew that they all looked away.

After all, they all saw clearly that it was Cao Xing who did something wrong and wronged, and who seemed to have sinned against Lu Changting and King Yan. Who knew that Cao Xing didn't know how to repent at all!How could they be willing to get involved in Cao Xing's affairs at this time?

Cao Xing's heart sank now.

He knelt down and said in a low voice: "Please tell the king of Yan!" After finishing speaking, he yelled twice: "Can you please ask the king of Yan to find a military doctor to take a look at it for me? I will accidentally fall down on the road." into the pit..."

Cao Xing wanted to gain sympathy.

But the fact is that in the tense and stagnant atmosphere, Lu Changting let out a "puchi" and laughed unceremoniously.

Cao Xing looked at Lu Changting, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm injured, why is the supervisor laughing? Could it be that Lu supervisor just dislikes me, Cao Xing?"

Lu Changting nodded, "You're right."

Cao Xing choked, his eyes widened, he didn't expect Lu Changting to be so magnanimous.

Cao Xing could only grit his teeth and look at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di said coldly: "This king will not favor those who dereliction of duty."

malfeasance?Cao Xing was stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Di to start from this.

Lu Changting nodded, and said: "General Cao is majestic and arrogant, insulting me wantonly, drinking in the army every day, and even ignoring King Yan and the tasks assigned by King Yan. It doesn't cost much to leave Guantong alone in Naier. Not to mention Ying, after returning alone, he still pointed fingers at the King of Yan and questioned the military orders... I will report everything to His Majesty one by one. Don't worry, I will not add anything. I will respect the facts and not omit anything. "

As soon as everyone was shocked, they suddenly remembered that it was the Supervising Army who was in charge of contacting the imperial court!

If he offends Lu Changting, he will really push himself to death!

Immediately, no one dared to belittle Lu Changting.

No matter what abilities this superintendent has, the power he holds in his hand is real.

Only then did Cao Xing realize this, and he also discovered that Lu Changting had heard his insulting words.Cao Xing's face was slightly pale, but his skin was dark, even if he was pale, he couldn't see it, and everyone couldn't accept the fact that Cao Xing was injured and weak.

No one spoke up for him, Cao Xing's heart sank.

Zhu Di said coldly: "After all, it is the Marquis of Huaiyuan. What the supervisor said is that it should be reported to the emperor first. But recently, I asked General Cao not to get involved in the affairs. Come, please return General Cao to his account. rest."

As for the military doctor?

Zhu Di didn't mention half a word, as if he forgot about it.

Of course Cao Xing was not convinced, he couldn't help raising his head, and was about to refute, but he bumped into Zhu Di's cold gaze, Cao Xing shivered, at that moment, he had the feeling that the other party wanted to kill him illusion.

After Cao Xing was taken out, the atmosphere in the tent could not be restored for a long time.It wasn't until Zhu Di spoke that the crowd gradually became active again.But after such a time, they really realized how unprovoked this King Yan, who already had a lot of military exploits, was.Everyone secretly knew it in their hearts.

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he and Lu Changting went back to the tent.

Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect him to be so stupid and absurd... I only know that he is impatient, and if he is sent to go against the wind and snow, some troubles will inevitably occur, but I didn't expect that he would throw himself into pieces If you look like that and go back to the camp without permission, I think maybe after Guan Tong comes back, we will sue him."

"God wants to make it disappear, it must first make it crazy. Sapphire and his people are just going crazy."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Let's not talk about them."

Lu Changting nodded.He knew that the Northern Expedition was very successful in history, and this time, Guan Tong appeared to persuade him to surrender just like in history, so the ending should be similar to history, so Lu Changting didn't worry too much, and sat with Zhu Di, with him Talk about Wu Guanxuan.

After all, Zhu Di only learned about this matter from the letter, so of course it would be better if Lu Changting said it himself.

After talking for a while, Zhu Di suddenly said coldly: "That is to say, when you were in Yingtian Mansion, this person came to look for you every day?"

"Not every day, but it does come frequently."

Zhu Di's face darkened: "This person is so courageous!"

"He is very courageous, he dared to break into the court, and he still hangs around in front of me every day, for fear that others will not see something wrong with him."

"You just said it wasn't Riri!"

"...It's just an exaggeration."

Zhu Di said: "He is very courageous, even dare to touch my people."

Only then did Lu Changting realize that it was Zhu Di who was jealous.

Lu Changting fiddled with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Then Cheng Er still follows you every day..."

"How can it be the same? You just said that Wu Guanxuan actually wanted to threaten you to go to the White Lotus Sect with him at the end!" Zhu Di frowned when he said this, and there was a deep look in his eyes. Deep anger: "He has a good plan! If I don't find out that he is a member of the White Lotus Sect, I will go to Yingtian on that day, and I will definitely not tolerate this kind of person who comes to look for you every day and have some intimate words with you." people!"

Lu Changting: "Me too."

When Zhu Di was furious, he suddenly heard these three words. He paused, and his expression turned gentle: "Changting means..."

"If I see someone like this around fourth brother, I will be unhappy..."

It was rare to hear Lu Changting's words declaring possessiveness like this, and Zhu Di's anger was immediately suppressed. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Changting into his arms, and said in a low voice: "It's better to wait until nightfall, let's go to the woods... "

Lu Changting didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then I'll freeze to death there first."

Zhu Di thinks about it, so he can only temporarily suppress the raging desire in his heart, hold Lu Changting tighter, and whisper in his ear: "Fourth brother loves you..."

Probably because it wasn't too hot or too cold in the tent at this time, Lu Changting felt that this sentence didn't feel numb, and there was a feeling of trembling in the apex of his heart.Lu Changting thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "I love fourth brother too."

Zhu Di was suddenly stunned.

Such straightforward words hit people's hearts.

Zhu Di hugged Lu Changting even tighter.

The chair was too small, and Lu Changting was afraid that he would fall, so he could only lift his legs around Zhu Di's waist and bury his head on his neck.

Lu Changting suddenly wanted to laugh.

Then the corners of his mouth really bent unconsciously.

----

After another two days, Guantong still did not come back, and Zhu Di frowned slightly.

Cao Xing wanted to express that he shouldn't have let Guan Tong go, and just beat Can Yuan by surprise!It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to speak, after all, he can only stay in his own account now, and ordinary things should not be taken out of the account easily.If Cao Xing had two regrets at first, then he became angry with Zhu Di and loathed Lu Changting afterwards.Cao Xing thought even more in his heart, when he returned to Ying Tian Mansion, he must inform General Lan Yu of this matter!

Cao Xing was so full of resentment that he even planned to go to Emperor Hongwu to seek justice.

But he didn't know that Zhu Di did it on purpose.He is full of resentment right now, the more resentment he has, the more he will be unable to suppress his emotions at that time, and he will easily lose his manners when he is in front of Emperor Hongwu, and he will be so impulsive that he will forget that the person standing opposite him is a prince, the emperor's relative son.

And until then, Emperor Hongwu will be very happy.

Just about to remediate Sapphire, this is the best excuse.

……

Zhu Di made other arrangements early on, and once Guantong couldn't do it, he could still use it.

Zhu Di led the crowd towards Naierbuhua's camp.

Because after the snow stopped, the snow was cleared faster. They marched at a good speed all the way, and they arrived ten miles away from the camp that day.Zhu Di has made a battle plan and will launch it only the next day.

On the second day, Zhu Di no longer hesitated, and immediately led his army forward.The change in the weather was strange, for it suddenly snowed heavily again.But today Zhu Di is leading the main force under his command. Other soldiers may not be able to do it, but the soldiers trained and trained by King Yan are not afraid of the current situation at all. Firm and agitated.

But Naier Buhua finally let go, and personally sent Guan Tong out.

The two sides collided.

Nai'er didn't see Zhu Di leading troops coming against the wind and snow, if he hadn't sent Guan Tong out, she would never have noticed!Sweeping away again, I saw that the soldiers were all in high spirits, with piercing eyes.Naier didn't spend all the regret left in her heart in an instant.

Of course, apart from Nai'er who doesn't want to surrender, there are still people who don't want to surrender after all.

After Naier Buhua surrendered immediately, Zhu Di took the soldiers to mop up the remaining people who did not want to surrender.

This time the Northern Expedition ended smoothly in Zhu Di's hands.

Of course, the only difficulty this time is the sudden heavy snowfall, the road is difficult, and the morale of the army is easily unstable.But Zhu Di has his own set of skills in governing the army. The soldiers under him are extremely stable, and all of them are very brave. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a tiger coming out of the mountain.The heavy snow didn't affect them at all.

A quick battle, without excessive consumption of food and grass, without delaying the fighter plane, without increasing the casualties of soldiers... Of course, this is what the rulers are most happy to see.

After reporting back to the court and receiving a letter from the court, they dialed back to Yingtian Mansion.

Both Zhu Di and Lu Changting got on their horses.

"Maybe there is news from the Mao family, and we will know when we get back to Yingtian."

"So fast?"

"Your matter, of course, must be fast."

Lu Changting smiled and urged the horse to move forward.

And when they were halfway through the journey, Ying Tianfu suddenly sent an urgent letter, the strange thing was that it was for Lu Changting.

When Lu Changting saw the messenger, his eyelids twitched unconsciously, feeling that something bad was about to happen... He took it and took it apart to take a look, and his face really changed involuntarily.Although he knew about this day long ago, when this day came, Lu Changting still felt an indescribable sense of melancholy...

The prince is seriously ill.

Emperor Hongwu was furious in the palace.

Emperor Hongwu remembered what Wu Guanxuan had said before, that there was something wrong with the feng shui of the entire palace, and Emperor Hongwu always felt that this was the reason that Zhu Biao was harmed, so no matter what he said, he asked Lu Changting to rush back.

In fact, Lu Changting felt that this matter should have nothing to do with the feng shui of the entire palace.It's just that Zhu Biao's body can't hold on anymore.But these words cannot be said to Emperor Hongwu, so after receiving the urgent letter, Lu Changting can set off for Yingtian Mansion and rush back.

Zhu Di's face darkened, but he couldn't say anything.He could only watch helplessly as Lu Changting moved first.

Riding a fast horse.

There must be no rest along the way.

Zhu Di could almost guess that it should be for the prince, so he was even more anxious.

I wonder if Changting can bear it?

Zhu Di frowned.

----

Naturally, the journey was non-stop, but no matter how fast it was, by the time Lu Changting arrived at Yingtian, the cold was already over, and it was time to change into some light and thin clothes.

As soon as he returned to Yingtian, Lu Changting was immediately sent to the palace.Lu Changting couldn't even take a break, he was even more hungry, and his mind was a mess.But who gave Emperor Hongwu an order?Lu Changting sighed helplessly in his heart.

As soon as he stepped into the East Palace, Lu Changting felt a stagnant atmosphere.

The eunuch beside Hong Wudi immediately came out to welcome him, and quickly led him in, where Hong Wudi was also sitting.I haven't seen him for a few months, and Emperor Hongwu has also aged a lot. His hair is already full of white hair, and his eyelids are drooping loosely. He looks like he has been tired for many days, and his aura has faded by three points.

"The prince is inside, come with me." Hong Wudi said.

Lu Changting bowed first, and hurriedly followed Emperor Hongwu into the room.Then Lu Changting met Zhu Biao.

Pale and bloodless face and lips, thick blue and black eyes, the whole person is out of shape, with almost no vitality, just like a dying person!What a change!It wasn't like this before I left...

Lu Changting blinked, feeling a little sour.

Emperor Hongwu said: "Why are you crying, go and have a look." There was a sense of exhaustion in Emperor Hongwu's voice.

Lu Changting raised his hand to wipe it, only then did he realize that he was crying.

At this moment, Lu Changting is at his most exhausted, and his mood is also the closest to negative.The closer he got, the more sad he felt.Zhu Biao seemed to be aware of his arrival, and opened his eyelids with difficulty.

His eyes were also dimmed.

Lu Changting said in a low voice, "Prince."

Zhu Biao probably wanted to smile at him, but the corners of his mouth twitched. After all, he was a bit reluctant, so he just made a strange expression: "Changting just came back, right? Are you tired?" After speaking, Zhu Biao paused for a rest, Then he said again: "Let them prepare hot water, cook food, eat first...cough cough, come again." Zhu Biao spoke too hastily, and coughed twice.

Emperor Hongwu saw that Zhu Biao treated Lu Changting like a younger brother, and saw that Lu Changting's eyes were slightly red, and he was also a child of affection and temperament. He couldn't help but also red eyes immediately, his heart softened, and he ordered: "Then follow what the prince said, Go and prepare food and hot water for the incident."

Lu Changting was slightly taken aback by the bed: "I'm fine, I'll show you first."

Zhu Biao closed his eyes and didn't speak any more.

Emperor Hongwu said in a low voice: "Prince is probably tired. Wait for a while."

Lu Changting nodded.

Only then did Emperor Hongwu have the time to ask Lu Changting about the Northern Expedition, and Lu Changting explained it in detail, including Cao Xing's matter.When Emperor Hongwu heard Cao Xing's various performances, he unabashedly showed his coldness.However, Emperor Hongwu did not scold Cao Xing aloud.

Lu Changting didn't think that Emperor Hongwu was not angry enough, on the contrary, he felt that Emperor Hongwu was extremely angry at this time, so he seemed calmer instead.As the so-called calm before the storm... Lu Changting felt that when Zhu Biao was seriously ill, these people would be very miserable...

Soon, hot water and meals were ready.Lu Changting was really tired and hungry, so he didn't shirk any more, he took a shower and ate as fast as he could.Then he returned to Zhu Biao's bedside.Emperor Hongwu was still guarding there, with a loving father on his face.Lu Changting sighed a little.

"Come... come." Zhu Biao said suddenly.

Lu Changting hastily moved closer.

"Father is busy with government affairs, so let's go back first, first, and the pavilion is here." Zhu Biao said.

Emperor Hongwu was indeed very busy, especially since Zhu Biao fell ill.What's more, the Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister system, and the burden on Emperor Hongwu was already heavy. When Zhu Biao became ill, not only could he no longer help Emperor Hongwu handle government affairs, but he also asked Emperor Hongwu to let go of his worries about government affairs every day... Naturally, then Busier.

Emperor Hongwu glanced at Lu Changting, and finally got up and left the East Palace.

After Emperor Hongwu left, Zhu Biao waved back the palace people in the palace. Although the palace people were extremely embarrassed, they did not provoke Zhu Biao at this time, and naturally they tried to satisfy him as much as possible.The palace people all retreated, and Lu Changting sat on the ground beside Zhu Biao's bed.

He knew that Zhu Biao should have something to tell him about this move.

"What's wrong?" Lu Changting asked in a low voice.

Zhu Biao opened his eyes, this time wider.

"Changting." Zhu Biao called out in a low voice, "I know I'm going to die."

Lu Changting didn't dare to speak, he pressed his lips tightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Brother wants to entrust you with something. If I leave, you must take good care of Yunwen for me."

"There is an emperor..." Emperor Hongwu treated Zhu Yunqi very well!Especially when the eldest son died, all his love and affection went to his grandson Zhu Yunqi.

"No, Changting, you promise me."

Lu Changting moved his lips: "Naturally."

"Chang Ting. I know that the fourth younger brother is not what it used to be. He has made great military exploits and has become more and more capable. Among my brothers, he and the second brother are the most outstanding. You probably don't know that this time Zhu Yan leads the army. But I was defeated and escaped... If after my death, my father may appoint another prince..."

Lu Changting became slightly nervous, what did Zhu Biao want to say?

"There is no doubt that the second and fourth younger brothers deserve it the most! If the fourth younger brother is the crown prince..."

"No." Lu Changting said out loud.Zhu Biao couldn't let Zhu Biao say this, it would be bad if it got into Emperor Hongwu's ears.Even if Zhu Di did nothing, he would be guilty.

Zhu Biao also suddenly realized that what he said was wrong, he paused and said: "Fourth brother only listens to you, if Yunwen cannot be preserved in the future, I beg you to protect him for the eldest brother."

Lu Changting pinched his palms and was almost speechless.

Did Zhu Biao guess what would happen after his death?

"Yun Wen is young, and my father is old. Even if Yun Wen inherits my position in the future, he will not be able to carry this banner. There are many civil servants in the Eastern Palace, and Yun Wen can't suppress them. If there is trouble at that time , angered his uncle... all his uncles hold the military power. What should he do if he can't clean up the mess at that time?" Zhu Biao spoke faster and faster, his expression became more sober, and the words he said became more and more serious. Plus straightforward.

It would be amazing if Emperor Hongwu heard about it!

"Fourth brother listens to you the most. Changting, promise me."

"I……"

Zhu Biao said: "I know that the fourth brother is a long-lasting person. If he is with you, he will definitely last for a long time. He will definitely listen to what you say."

This sentence suddenly exploded in Lu Changting's mind like a thunderbolt. Lu Changting sat there stiffly, his body trembling slightly... So Zhu Biao knew it a long time ago!Also... Otherwise, why did Zhu Biao let him stay away from Wu Guanxuan before?

Although it's not a good idea.

But if he doesn't agree, will Zhu Biao tell Emperor Hongwu?

No, you can't think that way.

Lu Changting closed his eyes: "I, I can only do my best."

Zhu Biao stared at him without moving.

Zhu Biao looked so haggard that it was almost unbearable to look at.

Lu Changting gritted his teeth: "Brother, I promise you."

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, only then was he satisfied.

"Big Brother" is not only a sign of intimacy, but also a sign of Lu Changting's affirmation at this time.Zhu Biao was satisfied.

Lu Changting stood up, only to realize that he was covered in cold sweat, and he tried to walk outside.Zhu Biao suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist again: "Changting... If, if, if the fourth brother ever feels sorry for you, then...then just pretend I didn't say that."

Lu Changting stopped in his tracks, and then he felt sour in his eyes: "Yeah."

Zhu Biao closed his eyes, seemed to be extremely exhausted, and faintly fell asleep.If his chest was not still heaving, he would have looked like a corpse.

Lu Changting walked out slowly, when a gust of wind blew, obviously it was time to get warmer, but Lu Changting felt a chill in his heart.
