Lao Zhu dared to let Zhu Di and Xu Da lead troops in the northeast, firstly because the enemies in the northeast were strong, secondly because Xu Da was loyal enough to follow him, and thirdly because it was a long way from Peiping, and there were Zhu樉, Zhu Fan intercepted Zhu Di in the middle. Fourth, Xu Da's two sons are in Yingtian and have hostages.
But I am different. Hu Mei was originally a subordinate of Chen Youliang. If I get Hu Mei's troops and take a boat down the river from Changsha, I can reach Yingtian in two days, and there is no way to intercept them in the middle.
As expected, Lao Zhu would not allow any of his sons to be stronger than Zhu Biao.
I can't be too strong.
Zhu Bai quickly finished the calculation in his mind, his hair stood on end, and he shouted: "I don't want to marry Wu Baoer, a useless wife. I haven't had enough fun yet!!"
Lao Zhu was confused by Zhu Bai's sudden nonsense and looked at him with his mouth open.
Zhu Bai cursed and walked out: "What's the good of having a wife? Look at my fifth brother. The second brother's wife and concubines are making trouble every day. The eldest brother's family is also uneasy. I don't want to marry a wife. I want to be a monk, otherwise I will become a Taoist priest." Okay, let’s go now.”
Lao Zhu was so frightened that he hurriedly called Zhu Biao: "Hold this traitor, what's wrong with him?"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but stopped him: "Twelfth brother..."
How he wants to tell Zhu Bai to get a wife is not up to Zhu Bai.
Moreover, Wu Baoer's relationship with Zhu Bai is different from Chang Waner's relationship with Zhu Biao.
Because Zhu Biao has no feelings for Chang Wan'er at all. Just got married.
After all, Zhu Bai and Wu Baoer had known each other since they were young.
Lao Zhu let Zhu Bai marry Wu Baoer because he doted on Zhu Bai and hoped that he could marry someone he really liked.
Zhu Bai lay down on the ground: "I can't live anymore. Everyone is forcing me to get married. I don't want any princess. It will hinder me from having fun and making money."
Lao Zhu sighed: "Okay, okay, you are still young anyway, let's wait a few years before talking."
Zhu Bai seemed not to have heard anything and closed his eyes: "Death, forget it."
Lao Zhu got busy and helped Zhu Bai up: "I won't marry, I won't marry. Don't cry."
Zhu Bai's eyes were dull and he muttered: "It's better to become a monk. If I'm clean, no one will miss me anymore."
Lao Zhu saw that he looked wrong and kept calling for the imperial doctor.
After taking Zhu Bai's pulse, the imperial doctor said that his disordered pulse was due to a disordered mind and excessive fright.
Maybe he was stimulated by the last time he saw Wang Guangyang's concubine commit suicide. Today, he was so angry and phlegm-filled.
To put it bluntly: Zhu Bai is stupid.
Lao Zhu was anxious: "Why did our good son suddenly become stupid again?! Give us a good look."
The imperial doctor was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Perhaps King Xiang is just tired. He will be fine after just two days of rest."
Zhu Bai secretly said in his heart: Good gay friend, you still understand me.
Lao Zhu Zhezi stopped looking and asked someone to bring the dragon chariot over and carry Zhu Bai back to the palace. Then he sat next to him and guarded Zhu Bai.
Queen Ma heard about it and hurried over. Zhu Bai was lying on the bed, staring at the top of the bed, saying nothing.
Lao Zhu held his hand and frowned in silence.
Empress Ma called out warmly: "Bai'er, you are twelve. The Queen Mother is here to see you."
Zhu Bai stared at the top of the bed, neither looking at Queen Ma nor responding.
Queen Ma couldn't help crying: "How could you be so scared?"
Lao Zhu sighed repeatedly: "We just said we would marry him, and that's all he did."
Queen Ma didn't know what to say for a moment.
Concubine Hu Shun came in with red eyes and kowtowed to Old Zhu along with Zhu Ju: "It's all my fault that I teased His Highness before, saying that the emperor was choosing a princess for him. This child may have taken it seriously."
In fact, this is no joke. Queen Ma and Lao Zhu are indeed looking for a wife for Zhu Bai.
Queen Ma couldn't laugh or cry: "What's going on?"
In fact, they didn't say that they would force him to get married immediately. It was just that they were more interested in Zhu Bai than other children, so they started looking for him early.
Lao Zhu said: "Get up, I don't blame you. He looks like an overlord and is omnipotent, but he is actually still a child."
Zhu Ju got up and walked to Lao Zhu and leaned against him, looking at Zhu Bai blankly.
Concubine Hu Shun whispered: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, since Your Highness is frightened, I am afraid that just using medicine will not work, so I have to think of other ways."
The smart Empress Ma immediately realized that Concubine Hu Shun was trying to persuade Lao Zhu not to kill anyone again, and sighed: "That's not true. Ask people if they bumped into any evil spirits when they went out these past two days."
Lao Zhu hurriedly called Fugui and Zhang Yu in and asked, "Has Your Highness gone to any strange places or encountered any dangerous things in the past few days?"
Fugui and Zhang Yu looked at each other in confusion. The words Zhu Bai said when he passed by the market every day flashed through his mind, and he instantly understood what Zhu Bai meant by pretending to be crazy.
Fugui hesitated for a moment and said, "Reporting to your Majesty, Your Highness doesn't go anywhere else every day. He just goes to the Guan Ya Bureau and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. But he has to pass by the market every day."
Zhang Yu also said: "The place of execution is in the market. Could it be that His Highness saw murder every day and was frightened?"
Lao Zhu was stunned: Yes, yes. The last time he saw the woman crashing to death in front of him, the traitor's face looked very wrong.
Now I see people killing people every day, I must be scared.
Zhu Bai, who had been concentrating on pretending to be demented, almost couldn't hold back his laughter: "Tsk, tsk, it's true that people who have been with me for a long time are not stupid."
Queen Ma hurriedly knelt down to Lao Zhu and said, "I beg the emperor to have mercy on the world and pray for Lao Twelve."
Concubine Hu Shun also knelt down.
Zhu Biao also felt that Lao Zhu had almost killed him, so he knelt down and said, "I beg my father to be more generous for the sake of my twelfth brother."
In fact, the candidates have arrived in Yingtian one after another.
Zhu Biao once said that he was afraid of causing any psychological shadow to the candidates.
But Lao Zhu said it would be good to let them see it, and gave these future officials of the Ming Dynasty an education on integrity and loyalty in advance.
As an official of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't even have this mental endurance, you should be eliminated as soon as possible.
But now even his beloved son was scared.
He seemed to feel that he had committed too many crimes.
forget it.
Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Bai and sighed: "Let everyone in the prison who has not been killed be released."
Queen Ma and Zhu Biao urged Lao Zhu to go back and rest.
Lao Zhu told Fugui and the others that if Zhu Bai did anything strange, he would report it before leaving.
Although Concubine Hu Shun knew that Zhu Bai might be faking it, she was still worried.
Because of Queen Ma, she couldn't stay long, so she could only wink at Zhu Ju and signal her to guard Zhu Bai.
After Zhu Ju and others left, he sat down next to Zhu Bai and sobbed: "How could someone as smart as you take a joke seriously?"
Zhu Bai heard her crying so sadly that he couldn't bear to lie to her anymore. He sat up and said with a smile: "How could you, a smart person like you, take me pretending to be crazy seriously?"
Zhu Ju was so frightened that she almost screamed.
Zhu Bai covered her mouth: "Don't scream. If my father finds out, he will be so angry that he will beat me to death."
