"This...hehe." Zhu Di was similar in age to Zhu Su, but he knew that Zhu Su had a strange origin and had far wider experience than the young him now. Deep down in Zhu Di's heart, he was actually very convinced of this younger brother.
"You have already guessed it, fifth brother, so I won't hide it from you." Zhu Di sighed.
"Second brother and I did sneak out without telling dad."
"Sure enough!" Zhu Su rolled his eyes. "It's okay for you two to sneak out of the palace, and just take a stroll outside the palace to relieve your boredom. Why did you come all the way to Suzhou to find me?"
"There's a lot of trouble in Beijing. Dad is already very worried. Hearing that you ran away must have made his nose crooked." Zhu Su felt tired for Lao Zhu with these two naughty sons who had run away from home. "Brothers, let's rest here for a few days and spend the first day of the new year."
"When you are in the second year of junior high school, please ask Brother Chang to keep you company and send you back to Beijing."
To be fair, after knowing Zhang Ren's words of "big soldiers slaughtering the city", Zhu Su always had an ominous premonition in his heart, and always felt that he had missed some important factor in this plan.
If Suzhou City really turns into a battlefield, he doesn't want these two brothers who are quite friendly to him to accompany him in danger here.
"What?" "No!" Zhu Di and Zhu Xi immediately stopped and slapped the table at Zhu Su.
Zhu Fang: "How can you drive someone away as soon as your brother arrives? No! I won't leave!"
Zhu Di: "Didn't I say there's going to be a war here? This is a rare opportunity, and I will never leave!"
"It is precisely because something may go wrong here that I hope the two brothers leave." Seeing the two men being extremely determined, Zhu Su rubbed his brows with a headache.
"Brother, I have obeyed the emperor's order from my father, and I used the name of eldest brother to avoid losing face, so I have to do this emperor's job here. If I go wrong, I have to count on you guys to be my elder brothers. Say something nice to me!"
"My two brothers have no jobs, so why bother wading into this muddy water? During the Chinese New Year, my parents must be very worried in Beijing. And if I, brother, do something wrong, you will definitely be blamed by your father as well. .How can you protect me then?"
With the hat off, Zhu Xi, who was not thinking very quickly, was speechless. It was Zhu Di who said: "It doesn't matter whether you protect me or not. You are already here. We can still watch Xiao Wu standing in front of you and taking charge." ?”
"Besides, as big brother is here, he won't watch dad beat us to death!"
"Yes!" Zhu Xi frowned: "Anyway, we have big brother to protect us! All in all, there is no reason for you to be in danger alone!"
"You..." Zhu Su, on the other hand, had nothing to say to refute.
The three brothers stared at each other, Zhu Di rolled his eyes slightly, and suddenly sighed suddenly, feeling miserable.
"Lao Wu, even if you let me go back, will dad still stop beating me?"
"Don't talk about whether I can go back or not. Even if I stay in the palace obediently, dad still won't give me a small beating every three days and a big beating every five days?"
"I will never go back anyway. If I hide here, I will be beaten a few times if I don't save everything!"
"Huh?" Zhu Su's attention was indeed drawn away. "Why did your obedient father hit you? Are your hands itchy or your skin itchy?"
Zhu Di rolled his eyes at this brother: "You don't know the reason yet!" He said and looked at Zhu Su resentfully.
Zhu Su understood immediately. Lao Zhu already knows that Zhu Di will "seize power and usurp the throne" in the future. Although there is no clue at this time, according to Lao Zhu's extremely stable temperament, how could he not take precautions in the bud and strictly discipline Zhu Di in advance?
As for Lao Zhu’s discipline, in addition to spanking with big shoe soles, it was basically the dragon belt around his waist...
What's more, there are also DEBUFFs added to his ancestor by Zhu Di's filial sons and grandsons from the "Baozong". The bad things that Baozong did to the prodigal son, even when people in later generations of China think of it, they often get angry and want to go to Mingyu Mausoleum and kick the tombstone of that guy to vent their anger. Not to mention the founder of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu himself, who regarded the Ming Dynasty as great as the sky.
I don’t know that when Lao Zhu dreamed back at midnight, he dreamed of several famous scenes of “calling at the door”. He had a violent temper, but every time he thought about it, he had nowhere to vent his anger. If not Zhu Di, the "closest by blood", who could he go to?
Therefore, this poor fourth brother may really have no place to stand in the palace. When I saw him riding a horse just now, I thought his posture was weird, and I didn't know if his butt was badly beaten.
All in all, this is really a sin caused by Zhu Su...
Seeing that Zhu Su was persuaded, Zhu Di quickly added: "Don't worry, fifth brother. My second brother and I are here and we will never mess around!"
"Everything is up to you. Is that okay?"
"Right, second brother?" He winked at Zhu Xi.
"Ah, yes, yes!" Zhu Xi nodded quickly. "Xiao Wu, not just the fourth child, I am living in the palace, and the life I live is not a human life!"
"We've both been wronged like this, so why don't you just let us stay here for a while?"
Zhu Su glanced at Zhu Xi. He wanted to say that dad won't beat you all the time, but he thought that because this second brother revealed the cause of his death, Lao Zhu also invited a group of rotten scholars to surround him in the palace and force him to chant every day. Read moral articles...
Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. If you were living this kind of life, you would definitely be worse off than dead. How could you bear to force this stupid second brother into the sea of misery again?
Forget it, if something happens, just let Brother Chang run away with his two brothers. The Chang family's bodyguards are the most elite in the world, not to mention their own Wu Wangwei and the elite cavalry Qin Wangwei brought by the second brother and assigned by Lao Zhu himself in the past. Even if the city is really captured, there is absolutely no reason why they can't find a way out.
What's more, he never felt that there was a possibility of Suzhou Prefecture being breached. Even if the remnants of Zhang Shicheng can really secretly raise an army, are the walls of Suzhou Mansion just for decoration?
Having said that, where did Zhang Ren get the confidence... In the Ming Dynasty, I didn't even hear that the remnants of the Zhang family had a large army, and what kind of military rebellion was caused...
Seeing Zhu Su frowning and thinking, Zhu Di immediately opened his mouth to ask. Zhu Su told his two brothers his doubts and what happened tonight.
The two of them were amazed after hearing this, and they only regretted that they came a little late and failed to catch up with such an interesting and exciting time. When Zhu Su expressed his doubts, they both frowned and started thinking hard with Zhu Su.
"Hey! Why do you want to do this! Brother Chang Mao of the Chang family just escorted someone to prison. He must have been interrogating Chen Hui and the other thieves at this time."
"Maybe now, their mouths have been pried open. Let's go to the dungeon together and maybe it will become clearer?" Zhu Ping said.
