When the four princes saw Zhu Biao and Chang Weiyang getting off the chariot, they hurried to salute.
Zhu Biao and Chang Weiyang appeared outside the city gate at this time. The kings naturally thought that they were specially here to see them off.
After all, four younger brothers rarely travel far away. As brothers and sister-in-law, they must come to see them off.
It's just strange that seeing you off is just like seeing you off Somehow the two men also brought several chariots, several of which were still loaded with a lot of baggage, which made them want to go far away.
So the four people looked at each other, full of doubts.
After giving a salute, Zhu said hurriedly, "Big brother and sister in law, I'm afraid it will take several months to say goodbye today. Please take care of yourself."
Zhu Di saw the posture of Zhu Biao and Chang Weiyang, and it seemed that he was going to send some of his brothers away, so he hurriedly said: "Brother, you don't need to send them away because of the heavy state affairs. My brothers will obey your teachings and practice hard in Zhongdu, and you will never lose face."
Zhu Xuan also hurriedly came forward and said, "The fourth brother is right. You really don't need to send him away, brother. My younger brother will take care of himself. You'd better take my sister-in-law back to the palace first. It's windy outside. It's not good if you are infected with cold."
Zhu Miao also followed him to persuade Zhu Biao to go back to the palace: "Yes, yes, brother, look at how big we are. Don't worry about it!"
When Zhu Biao saw his good brothers, he asked himself to "take care", was afraid of sending them away, and was afraid of catching cold. Zhu Biao was immediately moved, but he could not laugh or cry!
So he waved his sleeves and said jokingly, "You are too sentimental, aren't you? Who said I would send you away, and this is our hometown, right? Only you are allowed to go? I just... I can't go there!"
Zhu Biao looked at his four younger brothers angrily, and then turned around and took Chang Weiyang's hand to return to his chariot.
"Ah!"
“？？？”
“！！！！”
“.....
The four princes stared at each other.
The kings were shocked that Zhu Biao suddenly proposed to go to Zhongdu together!
Because, in their view, this is almost impossible.
If it was OK in the past, but now their eldest brother is the prince of the prison!
In addition to the very important and urgent things that need to be reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao almost takes charge of the politics of the Ming Dynasty every day!
The government affairs are so busy that Zhu Biao has no time to go to Zhongdu. Besides, if Zhu Biao wants to go, he will not agree!
How could
Of course, Zhu Biaoyi said that he would go to Zhongdu together, some of whom were happy and others worried.
I am glad that Zhu Di and Zhu Xuan have had the best relationship with Zhu Biao from childhood to adulthood. I wish my eldest brother could go to Zhongdu with me.
The melancholy nature is Zhu Xiu and Zhu Liang.
Since childhood, Zhu Biao has been strict with his brothers. He often supervises their words and deeds, and will punish them if they make mistakes.
Especially for the older Zhu Xiu and Zhu Liang, Zhu Biao is more strict.
They don't like to be supervised by Zhu Biao at ordinary times. This time, they finally left the palace and went to Zhongdu. They thought they could finally leave the sight of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao. They were going to take off in Zhongdu.
Unexpectedly, the goods also want to follow!
This is special And play with a hammer!
They were a little flustered!
So Zhu Liang asked tentatively again, "Big... Brother! Are you kidding? Are you sure you want to go to Zhongdu as well? Can Father Emperor agree?"
Zhu Biao naturally saw what Zhu Liang thought, so he affirmed: "Of course! How can my father disagree when he listens to me alone?"
After receiving a positive reply, Zhu Di and Zhu Xuan immediately cheered and couldn't help applauding to celebrate.
Zhu Xiu and Zhu, however, were both bitter faced and lost like a basin of icy water.
finished!
Barbie Q!
Blood suppression from the prince of the prison!
I'm afraid I can't get up on this trip to Zhongdu!
"What are you still doing?"
"Hurry up and go to Zhongdu with me!"
Zhu Biao urged his four younger brothers who were in different moods.
Then he looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma who were watching them on the tower, nodded, and took Chang Weiyang to the chariot, and ordered Chang Sheng and Yao Guangxiao to lead the team.
When Zhu Biao's motorcade slowly began to move forward, the four princes dared not neglect them and got on their chariots one after another.
For a moment, the prince's chariot team and the four vassal kings' team went to Fengyang, Zhongdu!
.....
A few days later.
Zhongdu City, in the main hall.
"The officials kowtowed to the Prince's Royal Highness and paid homage to the King of Qin, the King of Jin, the King of Yan and the King of Wu."
Zhu Biao sits on the imperial platform in the main hall. On both sides of the platform are Zhu Xiu, the King of Qin, Zhu Liang, the King of Jin, Zhu Di, the King of Yan, and Zhu Xuan, the King of Wu.
Under the Imperial Palace, the civil and military officials of Zhongdu, headed by Gao Wanjie, the prefect of Fengyang Prefecture, and Zhou Neng, the capital of Fengyang Xingdu Prefecture, bent down in two groups to bow respectfully.
Zhu Biao swaggered with the sleeves of his robe and said, "All the ministers are flat."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The officials then rose one by one.
"Zhongdu is the place where our Ming Dynasty is thriving. This time, four princes came to Zhongdu alone. First, they were trained, second, they were trained, and third, they were able to observe the people's conditions and understand the people's sufferings. Therefore, the four princes will be enrolled in the military ranks of the military garrison, awarded thousands of families, and led by the same level as the prefectures to participate in the training. Senior Officer Gao and Governor Zhou will arrange random arrangements to divide the area of jurisdiction, and give 100 The family name and the officers and men of the military garrison live and eat together, cultivate and produce together, and practice martial arts together with the officers and men. When the training period expires, your majesty will come to Zhongdu for assessment in person. Please pay attention to it! "
"Yes! Your Highness the Prince!"
The four princes and the civil and military officials of the Central Capital replied in unison, bowing their heads.
"Your Royal Highness, Fengyang Mansion has jurisdiction over five states and thirteen counties, which are Bozhou, Suzhou, Yingzhou, Sizhou and Shouzhou. I have prepared the paper scroll to mark the states. For the sake of fairness, I suggest that you draw lots on the spot to decide the jurisdiction of your Highness."
Gao Wanjie, the magistrate of Fengyang Prefecture, asked someone to bring in a small urn and suggested to Zhu Biao.
"Exactly!"
Zhu Biao put his big sleeve in front of the four kings and said, "Go!"
The four princes obediently walked into the hall, ready to start drawing lots.
Soon, Gao Wanjie announced the results of the lot drawing of the kings one by one:
"Prince Zhu Wei: Yingzhou."
"Zhu Liang, King of Jin: Suzhou."
"Yan Wang Zhu Di: Sizhou."
"Zhu Xuan, King of Wu: Shouzhou."
After the results of the drawing of lots were released, the four princes had no complaints, but Zhu Biao felt it necessary to fine tune it, so he said: "King Yan and King Wu, you two are a group. How about exchanging jurisdictions?"
The reason why Zhu Biao proposed to exchange the jurisdiction of the two people was that the territory of Sizhou drawn by Zhu Di shared Hongze Lake with Huai'an Prefecture, which was particularly important for Zhu.
"My younger brother, please obey the order of the prince!"
The relationship between Zhu Di and Zhu Xuan was originally very good. In addition, the two were training partners, and they were allies at the time of martial arts assessment, so they just exchanged jurisdictions. It was a small matter, a small matter, so they gladly agreed.
Of course, Zhu Di also understood Zhu Biao's intention.
I'm afraid Zhu Biao made such adjustment in consideration of his personal interests.
The climatic conditions and land advantages of Sizhou have a lot of room for Zhu.
I have to say that the prince really cares about his "wonderful" brother and always thinks for him.
