Zhu Biao sat above and ordered: "I will come back tomorrow morning, and then start gathering the people as planned."
The people below looked at each other and Zhu Fan said: "Brother, we have been marching in a hurry all the way and it's time to take a rest. Why not rest for a day tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow."
The rest of the people also started to persuade him. They all saw that Zhu Biao was very tired recently. They were not afraid of delaying the relocation for a day, but if something happened to Zhu Biao, it would be earth-shattering.
Zhu Biao also knew what they were thinking, and after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement. The soldiers really deserved a rest after wading through mountains and rivers, not to mention that he was indeed a little tired recently. The son of a rich man could not sit down in the hall, let alone a native of the Ming Dynasty. .
Zhu Biao still attaches great importance to his body. This is not just his life. He has now gained several times more power than in history, so there are countless people involved.
So Zhu Biao ordered: "In this case, third brother, you and Fei Ju can stay here to take charge of the army. Fu Zhong will lead two thousand cavalry and follow me into the city. The rest of the people should have a good rest. There will be no time to rest after the relocation begins." ."
Everyone below bowed and agreed, Zhu Biao got up and changed into civilian clothes, and then left the camp. The officials of Pingyang Mansion all stood respectfully and waited. Zhu Biao nodded and got on his mount. Fu Zhong shouted at the side. , the army immediately separated two thousand cavalry.
After a while, the guard Zhu Biao set off for Pingyang Mansion. After they left, Zhu Fan said to Fei Ju: "Two thousand people are a bit too few. Please arrange manpower to follow up immediately in Pingliang. Make sure my brother safety."
Fei Ju had already made this plan, and no matter how cautious the country was, he made a promise to the King of Chu and went down to make arrangements. Zhu Fan put his hands behind his back and smiled. The eldest brother will know about this sooner or later. He can get favors by just talking, so why not do it.
Anyway, the throne is not his turn. Since he can't be the emperor, then he should be the most comfortable king and follow the eldest brother and have a good time. It is better than following the second and fourth brother everywhere and offending people.
Although it was the eldest brother who made the final decision, no one dared to hate His Highness the Crown Prince. Besides, eldest brother's handling of the matter had saved his life, which was much better than falling into the hands of his father. Everyone had to thank him for his extra mercy.
The most hated ones are naturally the second and fourth sons who don't give any favors to others, just like the Marquis of Yangling and Marquis of Cangping who have been sent to Fengyang. Although they are bastards, there are still many good brothers in the army.
Although the nobles did not dare to do anything to the second and fourth sons, they did not want to have any respect for each other. From now on, the three of them would become feudal lords and would have to interact with the military. Now that they are doing this...
Zhu Fan smiled and shook his head. The eldest brother had a deep mind and occupied the right time, place and people. He was invincible!
Half an hour later, Zhu Biao and others arrived at the city gate. Officials who were not qualified to visit the prince were also waiting here. Zhu Biao also gave a few words of encouragement, and then the prefect of Pingyang dismissed the prince on the grounds that he was tired from traveling all the way. officers.
After Zhu Biao was delivered to the door of Zhang's house, he winked at his future in-laws, then bowed and left. Before leaving, he said that he would invite His Highness to a banquet tomorrow so that they could express their feelings.
Zhu Biao nodded and did not refuse. After coming here, he was no longer afraid of dealing with people. It was useful after all. Pingyang Mansion was rich in products and was considered a transportation thoroughfare. The officials who could serve here had relatively high potential, but they might not be able to do so in the future. You cannot jump to the court.
At this time, a group of people had already knelt in front of the Zhang Mansion. Zhu Biao turned around and dismounted, looking at the figure of the woman kneeling at the front. He had not seen her for so many years, and it was really touching. Unknowingly, he was already here. long time.
Ms. Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, was also very excited at this time. She was Empress Ma's dowry girl. She married her daughter into the Zhu family since she was a child, and she also watched the son's birth. Even if she got married later, she never had a problem. Ri let go of his concern for their mother and son.
Seeing the crowd approaching, he quickly cheered up and led his family members to greet him in unison: "Greetings to His Royal Highness, Your Highness Qianqiu."
Zhu Biao approached and said with a smile: "No gifts, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing, Sister Yu'er?"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she couldn't stop crying. She quickly wiped it with a handkerchief a few times, then raised her head and said with a choked voice: "Slave... I'm living a good life, the young master has grown so big..."
Although the young man in front of him looked tired, he still couldn't conceal his elegant demeanor as a noble man. Zhang Wei looked at his wife and was speechless, and said quickly: "Your Highness, please go to the palace and rest first."
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded. The soldiers on the side had already surrounded Zhang's house. Zhu Biao walked in first, with Zhang Wei leading the way. Zhang was helped by his son and relieved his breath. He followed and walked in.
After entering the lobby, Zhu Biao sat on the upper hand, while Zhang went to the side room to clean up her makeup. Zhu Biao chatted with Zhang Wei for a few words. His father also protected Zhu Biao, but unfortunately he died of a sudden illness.
After a while, Mrs. Zhang came back, her expression was much calmer, only her eyes were still a little red, Ms. Zhang bowed and said: "It makes Your Highness laugh. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I have the temerity to invite Your Highness." Come home.”
Zhu Biao said softly: "It's okay. We haven't seen her for many years. There's no need to be so polite. Sister Yu'er got married so suddenly that I didn't have time to congratulate her. It's appropriate to come and see her."
Mrs. Zhang quickly saluted. As a slave, you should serve your master. It is your blessing that the master remembers you. So what is the reason to congratulate you.
Seeing that she was a little restrained in what she wanted to say, Zhu Biao started talking about those things when she was a child. Normally, children would forget most of their memories before the age of five, leaving only a few memorable fragments.
But Zhu Biao is different. He remembers everything in those five years very clearly. It is precisely because of this that he came here specially. This is also Zhu Biao's gratitude to Yu'er, thanking her for accompanying him during the most boring five years. he.
Although Yu'er was very poor at coaxing children, and Zhu Biao often silently despised her, thinking about it now, she only feels warm. Zhang became more and more energetic as she talked about Zhu Biao's childhood.
She was restrained because she knew that children generally cannot remember things from their childhood. She also thought that His Highness might come here for the sake of the Empress. Unexpectedly, His Highness remembered everything. It was indeed the cub that she raised.
Yu'er sighed at the end: "I didn't know until I gave birth to a child myself that they are so stupid. They are incomparable to His Highness when he was a child. When the eldest son was born, I thought I had given birth to a fool."
The face of the seven or eight-year-old boy beside him suddenly turned red. The same goes for the little girl next to him. She has been disliked by her mother since she was a child. She always looks at her mother and says with pride: "Young master, at your age, you are too old." It will be something like that...".
They always thought that there was something wrong with their brains, so they looked at the powerful Crown Prince with resentful eyes. Zhu Biao felt his gaze and probably guessed something, so he smiled at them.
