Zhu Bai hurriedly directed people to carry Zhu Ru under the shade of a tree, loosened his collar, and gave him a few sips of water.
After a while, Zhu Xi woke up faintly: "Ah, what's wrong with me? Just now I just felt that everything was dark in front of my eyes."
Zhu Bai said: "Fifth brother, don't be afraid, they don't dare to do anything to us."
Zhu Ru sat up and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that they will hurt you. My twelfth brother must never do such risky things in the future."
If a person is suddenly very nervous and then suddenly relaxes, it is easy for him to faint.
Especially people like Zhu Ru, who have not experienced many storms and are soft-hearted and gentle.
Seeing that the color on his face had returned, Zhu Bai asked someone to send him back.
Zhang Yu asked Zhu Bai: "Your Highness, what should I do now?"
Cai Da killed the complainer in front of Zhu Bai! !
This is so lawless and so courageous! !
Zhu Bai said: "No. Let's just wait and watch the show."
Zhang Yu was secretly surprised: "That's it?"
This is not like Zhu Bai's style.
If in the past, Zhu Bai would have gone to Lao Zhu's place to play around, or if he went now, he would have asked someone to seal the left guard's Yamen and then take care of it.
Zhu Bai smiled and said: "My goal has been achieved. Why should I compete with others and consume myself?"
I just want to remind the left-behind left guard and Li Wenzhong that someone is already targeting you. It's better to be restrained.
I am also telling the mastermind behind the instigation of the man to complain: I have done my job, but there is nothing I can do against them.
Zhang Yu was still uneasy and asked again: "Do you want to report it to the emperor?"
Zhu Bai shook his head: "No need."
If Lao Zhu wanted to know, someone would naturally tell him.
There is no need for me to file a complaint.
It's very sensitive as long as it has anything to do with military power.
There are many mistakes about my identity.
Fugui couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, will you let Cai Da kill the suffering master?"
Zhu Bai glanced at him and said: "The sufferer is not a serious businessman. I just saw that Cai Da recently seized all kinds of things. The things for the winter are basically ready, but there is a shortage of silver charcoal. What a coincidence. , someone gave him silver charcoal, and this person is extremely smart and courageous, so he knew he would come to this king to complain?"
Living in the complicated court of the Ming Dynasty, he had long understood that superficial kindness was useless and even harmful.
Just like if he gets into a fight with the Jingwei over this person, it will at least destabilize the Tiantian Guard, and at worst endanger the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, we can only abandon this person who originally had impure motives and was used as a weapon.
Fugui opened his mouth slightly and said after a long time: "That's it."
-----
Zhu Ju went to Zhu Bai to learn how to settle accounts and handle affairs, and Lao Zhu knew about it.
He asked Erhu to pay attention and report anything at any time.
As a result, Erhu came to report that Zhu Ju and Zhu Bai were left to guard the left guard for unknown reasons. As soon as Zhu Ju came out, he fainted from fright.
Lao Zhu hurriedly asked people to call Zhu Xi into the palace for questioning, and specially chose a time when Zhu Biao was not around to avoid Zhu Xi's embarrassment.
I don't know if he knew that he was scared today, but when Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Rui, he felt that his expression was a little dull.
Although he was very angry, Lao Zhu tried his best to soften his voice and asked: "We heard that you followed your twelfth brother to the Left Guard Yamen and fainted after you came out today?"
Zhu Ru blushed and replied softly: "Yes."
He felt very ashamed and uneasy about this matter. He was obviously several years older than Zhu Bai. Zhu Bai was calm and composed, but he was frightened and fainted.
Lao Zhu: "Tell your father what happened inside in detail. Don't be afraid, we have the final say."
Although Zhu Ru doesn't like to talk, it's easy to make one thing clear.
The more Lao Zhu listened, the angrier he became.
At the beginning, he also gradually realized that Zhongshu Province would not be able to lose its power one day, so he set up a special governor's office under his direct jurisdiction and let the founding heroes serve as governors and magistrates. He gradually transferred the military power of the Ministry of War to the governor's office. , thus weakening the power of Zhongshu Sheng.
He knew that the Governor's Office had great power, so when he established the Governor's Office, he wanted his nephew Zhu Wenzheng to be the Governor.
It's a pity that Zhu Wenzheng was mentally ill and wanted to rebel, ruining his own future.
Later, he asked Li Wenzhong to preside over the Governor's Mansion, with Feng Sheng, Tang He and others serving as deputies. The other founding heroes all served in the Governor's Mansion.
The Governor's Office lived up to its expectations and controlled all the military power in the world, which was enough to fight against the Zhongshu Province.
In recent years, Lao Zhu has slowly transferred people from the Governor's Mansion to work in the Sixth Department or the border.
In short, the people who came out of the Governor's Mansion were in charge of the world's military power, and they were people whom Lao Zhu absolutely trusted, or who he had absolutely trusted.
But today's incident also made him realize a problem: the power of the Grand Governor was so great that it was above the law and the court, and he could even rebel at any time.
It's just that the power of the Metropolitan Governor's Office was not formed in a day, and naturally it cannot be weakened in a short time.
Even if the generals have no objections, it will not be conducive to governing the country.
The border has not been peaceful in the past few years. There have been wars from time to time, and he has been constantly dispatching troops and generals.
Even if the 800-mile expedited trip from Border Pass to Yingtian takes five or six days.
If the yamen that issues orders were suddenly changed without any notice, Bian would be at a loss as to what to do.
Lao Zhu asked Zhu Xi: "What did your twelfth brother say after he came out?"
Zhu Rui's face grew hotter and he said: "My son fainted, and then my twelfth brother asked someone to take my son home. My son didn't know."
Lao Zhu nodded: "Okay, you can go back and rest."
Zhu Bai had been silent for several days, which made him feel unsure.
But think about it, it's useless to ask people to search for the left guard now.
Cai Da must have moved the things after Zhu Bai left.
What he couldn't figure out was that he had clearly given the guard station enough farmland to support the soldiers, so why did the guard station still engage in such banditry as "plucking the feathers of geese passing by"? !
Cai Da over there was worried for several days, waiting for Zhu Bai to go to Li Wenzhong and Lao Zhu to complain, but everything was calm.
He sneered secretly: This "little king of hell" is really smart, he knows better than to bring trouble to me.
After all, I went to the peak with Li Wenzhong, Zhu Biao’s cousin.
Originally, Li Wenzhong and others agreed that the health center could do this, so why should you, a child, meddle in other people's affairs?
In this case, let’s get two more carts of silver charcoal in one go to save up enough for this winter and come back next year.

Zhu Ru came out of the palace, thought about it, and went to the Guanya Bureau.
Zhu Bai was surprised: "Hey, Fifth Brother, why are you here again? Aren't you at home to rest?"
Zhu Zhu told the story of how he was called into the palace for questioning by Lao Zhu.
Zhu Bai nodded: "I understand."
Zhu Ru: "Twelfth brother, aren't you going to take care of it?"
Zhu Bai did not answer but asked Zhu Rui: "If fifth brother goes to the fiefdom and encounters such a thing, how will he deal with it?"
He specially brought Zhu Zhu with him that day, just to let him see the dangers of the officials below.
Zhu Ting hesitated for a moment and replied: "Of course we have to make decisions for the people."
