When Zhu Bai saw it, he couldn't laugh or cry: Damn, the value of this thing doesn't even cover the shipping cost.

It is not known how much money Zhu Biao was defrauded.

Zhu Di started preparing to meet Zhu Biao early.

These brothers still have very sincere feelings for Zhu Biao. After all, elder brothers are like fathers. Moreover, when he made mistakes when he was young, Zhu Biao helped to intercede. If he makes another mistake in the future, he hopes Zhu Biao will show mercy.

Zhu Di told Xu Changying to observe etiquette in front of Zhu Biao and not to be too violent.

Xu Changying patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Don't worry, we got along very well last time when King Xiang came."

Zhu Di: "Lao Twelve wishes he could go to the house with you to reveal his tiles. You will naturally get along well."

Xu Changying: "When I have to pretend, I can still pretend."

Zhu Di secretly shook his head and smiled bitterly: Oh, you have become a mother, why are you still so careless? Fortunately, my elder brother is a tolerant and gentle person.

When Zhu Biao arrived, it was dusty.

The two brothers hugged each other hard.

Zhu Biao's throat felt a little sore. He took a good look at Zhu Di and said, "My fourth brother has grown taller and stronger again."

Zhu Di's eyes were also red and he replied: "Eldest brother is also much stronger."

Zhu Biao sighed: "I got it from being forced to run by my twelfth brother."

Zhu Di waited until Zhu Biao had rested enough, then took him to Peking City for a tour.

Zhu Biao: "I want to go see the North City Wall."

Zhu Di: "The Mongols have been beaten by us and huddled in a corner. They may not be able to see them."

Zhu Biao: "It's okay, I just want to go to Juyongguan to visit."

After seeing Zhu Di's defense and the orderliness of Beiping City, Zhu Biao felt more and more that Zhu Di was not a creature in the pool.

Now he can deeply understand the concerns of the ministers.

Although Zhu Di is the brother who is most similar to Lao Zhu in temperament, personality and appearance, he is also the one who makes Lao Zhu the most entangled and has the most complicated emotions.

Lao Zhu's love for Zhu Di was mixed with fear, and he was disgusted but at the same time admired and loved him.

Because only he himself knows best how much energy and ambition he has.

So although the ministers all said they wanted to kill Zhu Di.

Lao Zhu also firmly ignored him and just moved him to the farthest place so that he could stay in a corner. Send two more brothers to guard him.

Compared with the Jiayuguan Pass built with rammed earth, the Juyong Pass built by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun in the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty is much more impressive.

Built with strips of stone and green bricks, it is neat and solid.

Standing on the city wall of Juyongguan and looking out.

In front of us are narrow valleys and towering cliffs.

At this time of summer, the wind in the valley is extremely cool. You can imagine how cold it is when there is heavy snow and ice.

It's really a dangerous pass that no one can cross.

Zhu Biao asked: "Where are the Mongols hiding now?"

Zhu Di took out the map and pointed: "It's about here in the mountains. They sometimes change places. Going deep into the mountains to pursue the poor bandits has little effect and serious losses, so we generally don't pursue them."

Zhu Biao: "I heard that you have found the location of their army several times. How did you do it?"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "My twelfth brother gave me two dogs. Those two dogs were really smart and good at tracking. But later on when Naha came out, they also learned the lesson. They would use a small number of people as bait to lure us there and ambush us." Us. So as long as they stay dormant, we don't care about them. Anyway, such a small number of people can't make a difference."

Zhu Biao suddenly understood and nodded: "That's it. The fourth brother eliminated the great enemy of Ming Dynasty, which is really a great achievement."

Zhu Di was secretly frightened and held up his hands: "For my elder brother and for the Ming Dynasty, this is what I should do to protect the country. Now that the Mongols can't shrink, there is no need for so many people here, so I proposed to my father last month, Ask General Deng to take those 100,000 people to heaven. Now General Deng is waiting for my father's reply."

Zhu Biao nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Before Zhu Biao left, Zhu Di received a reply from Lao Zhu, asking Deng Zhen to go back first.

Those 100,000 soldiers will stay in Peiping temporarily, and someone will come to take them.

Deng Zhen did not dare to stay, so he immediately bid farewell to Zhu Di and Zhu Biao.

As soon as he left, Feng Sheng came to lead the 100,000 people with the Tiger Talisman.

Thinking about it, it was Lao Zhu who poisoned Deng Zhiqiu, fearing that the dissatisfied Deng Zhen would do something else with these 100,000 people.

When Deng Zhen returned to Yingtian, Lao Zhu gave him the title of deputy general for conquering the south and asked him to lead 20,000 people to conquer the mountain bandits in Yongxin, Longquan and other places.

Longquan and Yongxin are within the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Chengxuan Administration Department, and there are countless guard posts nearby. In fact, Deng Zhen needs to attack there.

Lao Zhu just found something for him to do and didn't want him to stay in Yingtian.

If he made any move outside, those guards would be enough to surround him and kill him as a bandit.

Zhu Bai was in Changsha, as if he were listening to a play. He listened with great pleasure to the reports of the people from the Guanya Bureau who came to escort the convoy.

Zhu Biao had already set off from Peiping to Shanxi to see Zhu Fan.

Zhu Fan was the first among all the brothers to become a father, except Zhu Biao. And even though Lao Zhu has so many sons, Zhu Fan is outstanding in appearance, graceful, extraordinary in literary talent and resourcefulness, and his overall quality ranks among the top three.

But he didn't seem to care about anything and had no intention of getting things done.

Zhu Bai said he wanted to be an idle prince, and he was still actively preparing for his future and saving money.

Zhu Fan has long been able to sit without standing, and can lie down without sitting. He always gives Zhu Biao a feeling of "breaking a jar and breaking it".

Just like now, they haven't seen each other for several years. Zhu Fan was only excited for half a cup of tea when he saw Zhu Biao, and then he couldn't wait to leave.

Zhu Biao asked him some questions about government and military affairs.

Zhu Fan was also vague and perfunctory.

It cannot be said that he has no understanding of government and military affairs, but only superficial knowledge.

Same as before, as long as you can fool it.

Zhu Fan said that Zhu Biao should have a good rest, and he would host a banquet for Zhu Biao at the palace in the evening.

Zhu Biao noticed his impatience and could only let him go without laughing or crying.

Accompanied by the capital commander, he patrolled Taiyuan City.

The governor of Taiyuan Prefecture was transferred from Shaanxi in the eighth year of Hongwu's reign and was extremely capable.

Therefore, there is not much difference whether Zhu Fan is diligent or lazy.

As night fell, Zhu Biao went to the Prince Jin's Mansion for a banquet.

He knew that Zhu Fan wanted to ask him something.

This is Zhu Fan's knot in his heart. If he doesn't untie it, he won't be able to work well.

And Zhu Biao will need Zhu Fan to be in charge of Shanxi for a long time.

Zhu Fan and Zhu Ping were closer to him in age. Compared to other brothers, he has a better relationship with them.

This is why Lao Zhu dared to put the two of them here and give them heavy troops.

Zhu Chong was good at martial arts, and Zhu Fan was good at literature.

Zhu Biao himself was also a literary person, so he was relatively closer to Zhu Fan than Zhu Chong.

Neither Beiping nor Taiyuan Prefecture has imposed a curfew.

Probably because it was far away from Yingtian and it was hard to fight on weekdays, several princes and local officials tacitly relaxed this clause.

Zhu Biao also pretended not to see it.

As long as they guard the border well, this is a trivial matter.
