Chapter 523 The Emperor is Furious
"Fourth child, what do you mean by looking at me like that?"
Although Zhu Biao was not unhappy, his tone was very gloomy.
He has been the prince for so many years and has long developed a calm and authoritative demeanor.
In addition, Zhu Di was brought up by him personally, so the two were both brothers and like father and son.
Therefore, after meeting Zhu Biao, Zhu Di could no longer show his royal aura at all, but was a little timid.
Hearing Zhu Biao's question at this moment, Zhu Di quickly answered.
"Oh, Brother Emperor, don't be surprised. My brother was just curious, so he took a second look."
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhu Biao was not confused, but even Zhu Yuanzhang became interested.
This family hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they were a little unfamiliar and lacked topics to talk about.
Now when I hear this, I naturally ask and open up the topic.
"What do you mean? It's been a while since I last saw your elder brother. Is it possible that he already has three heads and four arms?"
These words still have the flavor of a joke, but coming from Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, there is a sense of coercion.
Ye Xuan watched from the sidelines, already beginning to wonder if Zhu Di was going to do something.
But in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, even if Ye Xuan guessed something, it was difficult to reveal it.
As for Zhu Biao, he really didn't realize at this moment that his brother might be plotting against him.
Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao laughed and said: "Father, please don't say it's a joke. With three heads and four arms, wouldn't that make you a monster?'
Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed loudly when he heard this, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to relax a lot for a while.
But after waiting for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly discovered that the apprentice seemed not to speak, and his eyes seemed erratic, as if he had something on his mind.
As an emperor, he naturally has to be more attentive. If he sees something is wrong at any time, he will immediately put on a straight face and ask questions.
"Tell me, what happened? Is it possible that your elder brother is hiding something behind our back?"
This sentence was the final word and gave Zhu Di the courage to speak.
After pondering for a while, Zhu Di finally spoke, but the eyes he looked at Zhu Biao always seemed to flicker.
"When I return to my father, I originally planned to visit my eldest brother today and then enter the palace with him. But I accidentally got the news that he went to Yingtian Mansion."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly when he heard this, but still didn't understand what the mystery was.
Zhu Yuanzhang is even more smiling than before. In his opinion, although Zhu Di has ambitions, he still knows how to be a younger brother.
He was able to visit Zhu Biao, which shows that Zhu Di is not incurable (bhbf) yet, and that when Zhu Biao succeeds to the throne, the two of them can live in harmony.
More importantly, Zhu Biao did listen to what he said and really tried to make a good friend of Ye Xuan.
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts flew far away, and he was already thinking about the future layout of the court.
The future Ming Dynasty will have reliable vassal kings as a barrier externally, and talented ministers as assistants internally.
With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, why can't it flourish for more than three generations?
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang was still excited, Ye Xuan and Zhu Biao had already begun to have strange reactions.
Especially Zhu Biao, he said he trusted his brother, but he also had his own doubts.
Zhu Di arrived on New Year's Eve. If he was really serious, School Disciple would come to find him when the palace celebration was over that night.
The worst thing was that Zhu Di was supposed to be here on the first day of the new year, but this guy never showed any intention of coming to see him, and even the gift was only given by School Disciple.
At first, Zhu Biao thought Zhu Di was trying to avoid taboos, but looking at it now, he had another deeper meaning.
Although Zhu Biao was kind, he was not a fool. In just a moment, a possibility popped up in his mind.
But only for a moment, he dispelled this thought. He really couldn't accept that his brother had turned into a treacherous villain, and he was even less willing to accept that his brother was plotting against him behind his back.
Ye Xuan has already seen some clues at this moment, but he doesn't know the situation between Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, so naturally he can't make a specific judgment.
However, based on experience, he could still tell that Zhu Di knew that the person who came was not good.
Just when Ye Xuan was thinking about how to break the situation later [Zhu Yuanzhang did speak again.
"What's all the fuss about? There's no errands to do during the Chinese New Year. Wouldn't it be okay if your eldest brother drinks some wine?"
It is obvious that in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Zhu Biao went to Yingtian Mansion just to find Ye Xuan for a drink. After all, yesterday's news had come back. Ye Xuan went to Yingtian Mansion specifically to avoid those who were congratulating him.
Moreover, after hosting the banquet, he gave Ye Xuan the privilege to live in the East Palace temporarily.
There is no taboo between the two of them, and since he knows about it, he will naturally not have other ideas.
Zhu Di obviously did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would react like this. Although he knew what happened last night, "he did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would be so trusting and generous to Zhu Biao."
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel jealous in my heart, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Because he was not sure how Zhu Yuanzhang would deal with Zhu Biao, Zhu Di did not intend to continue using the original strategy, but went straight to the topic.
"Yes, it's my son who made a fuss out of a molehill."
After hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and was about to change the topic when he heard Zhu Di add another sentence.
"Actually, I am also worried about my eldest brother's health. After all, he has always been in poor health. If he drinks too much, it will eventually harm his body. And...
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved after listening to Zhu Di's words, and even wanted to praise him.
But as he went down to the platform, he felt something was wrong. In addition, the hesitation in Zhu Di's tone and the sudden interruption of hesitation made him suspicious, and he couldn't help but scold and ask questions immediately.
"And what? You said so!"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang getting angry, Zhu Biao also knew that Ying Tianfu's affairs could not be hidden.
"Father, calm down! Father, calm down! I just heard about it and am not sure, so in front of you, I am really worried about saying the wrong thing and causing any misunderstanding!"
Zhu Di wanted to explain something before Zhu Biao opened his mouth, but this sentence was not an explanation, it was clearly meant to seduce.
Zhu Yuanzhang was new. Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with doubts and immediately looked at Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao lowered his head and then opened his mouth to explain.
"Father, please calm down. I came late today not because I was drunk, but because there was a murder case in Yingtian Mansion. I was worried about disturbing your interest, so I didn't mention it. I definitely didn't mean to deceive!
Hearing this, Guo Bao's eyes turned to Master Ye.
"Ye Xuan, tell us what's going on?"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang asking, Ye Xuan sighed and then stepped forward to explain.
"The governor of Yingtian Prefecture, Xie Jin, whom you arranged to stay overnight at Yingtian Prefecture last night, turned out to be a murder case in the Yamen, and there were blood stains on his body. The incident happened suddenly, and the ministers could only temporarily detain him for interrogation. ".
