"Mom, just understand with me. I don't care whether other people understand or not!" Zhu Jun said with a smile, "It's just our destiny. My son will get married and start a career. If he stays in Fengyang any longer, he will Not suitable anymore.
I can't always rely on my eldest brother's trust and understanding to make things difficult for him, right? "
Empress Ma was also helpless. This had been the case with the Tian family since ancient times. When it came to Daye, Zhu Yuanzhang even drove all his adult sons to join the feudal clan.
"It just so happens that the eighth child has reached his first age. That child has a cowardly temperament. Your father doesn't know where to place him more appropriately. If possible, he will be placed next to you." Queen Ma said.
Zhu Zhen reached his first birthday this month. Zhu Jun was still grading his exams at the time. He even asked for leave to attend the ceremony and gave him many gifts.
After he was crowned, the memorial asking him to surrender to the feudal clan was delivered to Lao Zhu's desk like snowflakes.
That kid has a cowardly temperament. Although he has his own support and his temperament has changed, the inferiority and cowardice hidden deep in his bones cannot be gotten rid of in a short time.
This kind of temper can be bullied even in front of Lao Zhu, let alone the vassal. If you are in the vassal, won't you be ignored by those soldiers and ruffians?
It’s not that Zhu Jun is worried.
It's just that he is so horny now that it would be inappropriate to interfere in this matter.
"Mom, it depends on what my father wants. It's not appropriate for me to intervene, lest others talk to me and accuse me of colluding and conspiring with Lao Ba, and the gains outweigh the losses!" Zhu Jun sighed.
Queen Ma also reacted, "I didn't expect to be in this situation, I just thought that brothers could help each other and have someone to rely on in the future.
However, Weihaiwei is the closest to the fourth brother. If you have any questions, you can ask your fourth brother! "
"Don't worry, mother, I have grown up and will not be naughty or make you worry anymore.
If I have the chance, I will definitely come back to Beijing to see you.
If you can't come back, I will write to you every now and then! " Zhu Jun said.
Queen Ma's tears fell again and again, and she couldn't bear to let go of Zhu Jun. This little son had always been the one she couldn't let go of, and now that he was about to leave, it felt like there was an empty space in her heart.
"Mother An Qing also punished her. You are brothers and sisters. You are angry, but don't hold grudges. She is also young and ignorant. It's my mother's fault for spoiling her rotten." Queen Ma said.
Zhu Jun didn't like Zhu Suxin at all, but Empress Ma said this. In order not to worry her, she said: "Mom, don't worry, how can I be the same as her? As long as she is willing to call me Sixth Brother, I will sincerely Look after her!"
When there are conflicts between words, how much more about people?
Queen Ma naturally understands this truth.
Just like these children in the family, some of them are close to each other.
After holding Zhu Jun and talking for a while, Queen Ma let him go.
As for the rewards, Zhu Jun didn't ask for them at all. To be honest, he didn't lack them at all.
Empress Ma was also worried that those women could not take good care of him and wanted to reward him with a bunch of maids, which frightened Zhu Jun into rejecting him repeatedly.
He has no shortage of women or anything else.
No, there were two raised outside but I didn’t bring them home.
This time, it was time to send someone to escort them over.
After leaving Kunning Palace, Zhu Jun came to the East Palace again.
Looking at Zhu Yu who was reading on the bed, Zhu Jun forced a smile on his face and said, "Brother, are you busy?"
Hearing this, Zhu Jun put down the book in his hand and said, "Why do you have time to come to the palace? Could it be that all the test papers have been marked?"
Zhu Jun nodded, "Well, the rankings have been sorted out. This time I am going to the palace to revive my father and say goodbye."
Zhu Yu's expression changed, "Have you thought about it?"
"Well, think about it!" Zhu Jun said: "I am in my early twenties, how can I stay in Fengyang forever? Even if the officials don't say anything, the brothers will have their opinions.
I can't start this way, lest others follow my example in the future, it's not good! "
Zhu Yu sighed, knowing that Zhu Jun was so eye-catching these days that many people were eyeing him.
There were not many memorials to impeach Zhu Jun in the past, especially after Zhu Jun repeatedly made meritorious service and kept those people in check.
But it doesn't work anymore. Zhu Jun wants military power, prestige, money, industry all over the world, and power.
For Zhu Yu, these were just things he forced on Zhu Jun. His younger brother just wanted to help himself and help Daye solve those potential shortcomings.
He is absolutely unbiased.
If not, would he put everything on the table for you to see?
Just like those brothers, all of them cherish their feathers, but they are always called poor in front of outsiders.
Have you ever seen a clumsy person reveal his trump cards little by little?
impossible.
"It's my fault, brother, for not convincing my father!" Zhu Yu looked at Zhu Jun, "Don't blame your father, he is also under a lot of pressure."
"I don't blame him, I understand, I'm just not convinced. If you want me to vassal you, just one sentence, why bother?
From the beginning, I just wanted to join the vassal state and find a place where I could be my local emperor. Zhu Jun waved his hand and then smiled bitterly, "What's the use of talking about it now? I've tried hard for more than two years, but I still haven't cured you."
Brother, although I wasn’t the one who made you fall off your horse, I am inseparable from it. "
"Don't say that. Even if you don't write to me, who would dare to say that I didn't fall off my horse during the patrol?" Zhu Yu said: "Some people just want you to be a scapegoat."
"I know who it is!" Zhu Jun looked at Zhu Yu and said, "I can tell you!"
Zhu Yu frowned, "Who?"
"Fourth!" When Zhu Jun said this, he felt relaxed.
"you sure?"
"I'm pretty sure, but I don't have substantive evidence, but... I have a basis." Zhu Jun fell into memories, "It all started when I excavated the Xu family's ancestral tomb. ..."
Listening to Zhu Jun's narration, Zhu Yu's expression was extremely exciting.
"At that time, I just wanted to keep my nickname. I thought, if I, a prince, stole my future father-in-law's ancestral grave and was caught, no matter what, my father would definitely give Xu Jinda an explanation.
I was worried for a few days, and the last time my father gave me was running out. I thought, if you can only be a thief for a thousand days, there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days.
Since no one else can help me, I will investigate the case myself.
So I went to the Xu family cemetery again, and I really found out the clues, and then caught some people. Those two people are still alive and well.
After my deliberation and review, as well as the clues I have, I can basically lock in the fourth child! "
Zhu Yu pursed his lips and said after a while: "Then why did you say it now?"
"Because I couldn't protect myself at that time. No matter who I told this conclusion, no one would believe it!"
