There is no doubt about Zhu Xiongying's ability. Even though he is young, his learning ability makes even Zhao Changge feel inferior. He is a natural academic master who can draw inferences about anything he learns. Zhao Changge feels that giving Zhu Xiongying a few years, I'm afraid Zhu Xiongying, a native of the Ming Dynasty, will surpass him in the knowledge and culture of later generations.
The historian recorded this duel between Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Biao. The young prince made everyone present feel that the future of the Ming Dynasty was limitless.
"By the way, why didn't the second guy come back this time? We only need to leave some people on the Japanese island to keep an eye on it. There's no need for the second guy to do this kind of thing himself, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see Zhu Ping today. He had already been suspicious when he came back, but it was not convenient to ask before. Now that the business conversation was over, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao dodged with some guilt, but what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was, he knew his son better than anyone else. Seeing Zhu Biao's dodging eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately snorted coldly: "Biao'er, the second brother is like this Did the guy get into trouble again?"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious, Zhu Biao hurriedly explained: "Dad, it's not what you think. The second brother didn't come back because he didn't want to come back."
"Don't want to come back? What do you mean, is he planning to be a savage overseas? You bastard, give him an edict immediately and tell this bastard to come back. We shouldn't have let him go overseas in the first place. It's a rough and treacherous place overseas. , we also know that the dangers outside are not only from the sea, but also various terrible viruses, so what is he doing outside?"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang scolded him fiercely, he was worried about Zhu Xi's safety in his heart.
Zhu Biao smiled helplessly: "Dad, do you think I don't want to let the second son come back? But this guy is determined to stay overseas. On the eve of Wei Guogong's plan to return to the army, the second son secretly took a boatload of people with him. He slipped away and left a note to Wei Guogong, saying that he planned to explore this overseas place by himself. He said that he wanted to open the age of navigation for the Ming Dynasty. When he came back, he would definitely be able to bring back the complete Overseas maps.”
"This bitch doesn't care about life and death. He dares to go out to sea randomly with a boat of people. This...isn't he asking for death!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were red with anger, but he also understood that it was too late to say anything now. , after all, no one on the vast sea knows where this guy Zhu Fang went with his people.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's worried look, Zhu Biao comforted him in a good voice: "Dad, don't worry too much. Although the second brother is acting a bit nonsense this time, I believe that he has his own destiny, and the second brother also wants to Do something for Ming Dynasty, but you must not get angry."
"Are we angry? We are worried that this bastard will let us white-haired people give away black-haired people!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, patting his thigh.
Everyone present did not dare to speak. Perhaps because he had relieved himself of the responsibility of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang lost some domineering attitude and cherished his family more and more.
... ...
When Zhu Xiongying returned to the East Palace, it was already dark. This formal conversation with Zhu Biao also allowed Li Shanchang and the others to see the ability of the Ming Dynasty Prince Zhu Xiongying. Although he was young, he was far more mature than his age and would be in the future generations. The knowledge gained through experience made these veterans look at him with suspicion.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his grandson was so capable, he directly called the Zhu family Qilin'er.
As soon as he reached the door of the East Palace, Zhu Xiongying stopped because he saw a lonely figure sitting on the stone steps at the door. Zhu Xiongying stood aside and watched for a while, then walked gently over and sat next to the man.
Zhu Yunwen noticed someone sitting next to him and was immediately startled. He turned around and saw Zhu Xiongying looking at him with a gentle face.
Zhu Yunwen stood up hurriedly, and then bowed to Zhu Xiongying with some restraint.
"His Royal Highness." Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and was a little afraid to look at Zhu Xiongying. Who made Zhu Xiongying too good? Zhu Yunwen knew that he could not compare to his elder brother since he was a child, and all the elders paid less attention to Zhu Xiongying. It's not something he can expect, and Zhu Xiongying has been very good since he was a child. This makes Zhu Yunwen feel inferior every time he sees Zhu Xiongying.
This sense of inferiority became even stronger after Zhu Biao ascended the throne and Zhu Xiongying was established as the prince.
Some time ago, Zhu Yunwen heard that Zhu Xiongying went to study with the mysterious Master of the State. This made Zhu Yunwen envious for a while. He had also inadvertently heard from some people that there was no one in the future generations who were more than six hundred years away from the Ming Dynasty. People are not desirable, but Zhu Yunwen knows that he is not qualified. Although he and Zhu Xiongying are brothers, their identities are completely different.
The two brothers had a good relationship when they were young. Zhu Xiongying was very willing to take care of this younger brother. However, with the Lu family being relegated to the cold palace, Zhu Yunwen could not even feel any warmth in the huge palace. His father was too busy. , so busy that he didn’t even have time to pay attention to him. In the past, Zhu Xiongying was still with him, but as he grew older, even Zhu Xiongying began to have endless things to do, and he was the only one who seemed to be unaware of it all day long. What should I do? This feeling of loneliness became even more intense after Zhu Xiongying left for the next life.
Zhu Yunwen heard that Wei Guogong Xu Da was back today. He originally wanted to join in the fun, but he could only stand from a distance and watch others having fun. No one informed him of the subsequent celebration banquet, so he had no sense of the presence of the prince. and light were all shrouded by Zhu Xiongying.
He saw Zhu Xiongying, whom he had not seen for a long time, becoming the center of attention as soon as he appeared, which made him feel happy and envious at the same time.
"What's your name? Your Highness, you should call me brother." Zhu Xiongying reached out and rubbed Zhu Yunwen's head. He could see that Zhu Yunwen's mood seemed not right. As an elder brother, he hoped that he could protect himself as well as his father, Zhu Biao. The relationship with each brother, especially Zhu Biao only has three sons for the time being. Apart from Zhu Yunwen, there is only Zhu Yunxi (because the background is the fifteenth year of Hongwu, so Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi have not been born yet.) These two brothers, so Zhu Xiongying cherishes the relationship with his brothers.
This is also the reason why Zhu Xiongying still goes to plead for Lu even though he knows that Lu is harmful to him. This is all for Zhu Yunwen's sake.
Zhu Yunwen called Zhu Xiongying "brother" with some restraint, and then heard Zhu Xiongying ask: "Have you visited your mother and concubine recently?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded nervously: "I went to see him two days ago..." He glanced at Zhu Xiongying secretly. Because he knew that his mother-in-law had done something wrong to Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunwen was a little scared. Zhu Xiongying will be angry with his mother-in-law. After all, Zhu Xiongying's identity is different now. He is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and his status is unbreakable.
