Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 49 Sadness is always parting day

"Clang... clang... clang..."

On the fifth day of October in the first year of Taichang, as the morning bell rang, the first person to walk out of the palace was not Zhu Youjian who was about to leave, but Zhu Youxiao.

He dealt with the memorials last night and didn't fall asleep until midnight, but when he thought that Zhu Youjian was leaving today, he just slept in a hurry for more than two hours and got up in his normal clothes.

The maids and eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace were busy for a while, and finally moved Zhu Youxiao's chariot to the gate of the East Palace at the seven quarters of Yinshi.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived at the gate of the East Palace, nearly [-] carts of silver and luggage had already left, and only Zhu Youjian was still having breakfast in Xuqin Palace.

Without alarming anyone, Zhu Youxiao walked into the palace and walked cautiously towards Xuqin Palace.

When Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen and others at the door saw Zhu Youxiao coming in, they were startled and hurriedly prepared to salute.

It's a pity that their actions were interrupted by Zhu Youxiao raising his hand, and Zhu Youxiao also walked behind Zhu Youjian, looked at the three meat, two vegetables and one soup on the table, and smiled slightly:
"So many, have you finished eating?"

"Huh?" Hearing the familiar voice, Zhu Youjian turned his head, and immediately met the eyes of Brother Haohuang, and almost spit out a mouthful of soup.

Swallowing the food in his mouth quickly, Zhu Youjian got up and moved the stool:
"Emperor brother together."

"Brother Huang?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes suddenly became resentful.

He could see it, his good younger brother, when he had something to do, he would talk to his elder brother, and when he was free, he would talk to his brother.

"Brother, sit down." Zhu Youjian was pointed out, showing an embarrassed smile, and he couldn't help but wonder why Brother Huang walked without a sound.

"I'll see you off." Zhu Youxiao sat on the chair, pulled away the chair next to him, and motioned Zhu Youjian to sit down.

However, following the carpenter's habit, he knocked on the chair, frowned slightly and said:

"This chair is made of good wood, but it is too old. I will make some furniture for you in a few days and replace all the furniture in Xuqin Palace."

"Making a set of furniture? That's a bit time-consuming, right?" Zhu Youjian buried his head in the soup, but the good emperor smiled dotingly and said:

"Since ancient times, elder brother dotes on younger brother. What's the point of wasting some time?"

You are very interested, if the judge finds out, you will impeach me again...

Looking at the good emperor brother who was smiling happily, Zhu Youjian shrank his neck, and at this time Lu Wenzhao also walked to the gate of Xuqin Palace.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen saluted slowly:
"Your Highness, everything has been sent from the Xuanwu Gate, and it can be arranged."

"So fast?" Zhu Youjian replied while looking at Brother Haohuang.

Zhu Youxiao felt a little regretful, but still grabbed Zhu Youjian's hand and stood up, then took off his fur coat, put it on Zhu Youjian's back, helped him fasten the fur coat, and tried the tightness:

"My younger brother has gone to Changping, and Cheng En and Yang Lian will do the hard work. Remember to go back to the palace once a month. If there is anything missing, ask Cheng En to tell Zhongxian, and my brother will make it up for you."

"I don't lack anything, but my brother is in the court. When he is in the court, don't be as knowledgeable as the censors and officials. If you get angry, your health will not be good."

Zhu Youjian had mixed feelings in his heart, and he also asked the good emperor brother.

It's just that after Zhu Youxiao heard his instructions, he couldn't help chuckling and said:
"I am the Son of Heaven and the Emperor. If the officials and censors get angry with me, just ask someone to drag me out to beat the board."

"Aren't they proud of being spanked? Let's see if they are still proud when they are spanked."

Zhu Youxiao's youthful heart is fully revealed. This way, Zhu Youjian even thinks of that scene and wants to laugh
"Okay, let's go."

After fastening the fur coat, Zhu Youxiao took Zhu Youjian's hand and walked side by side to the outside of Xuqin Palace.

Seeing this, several young eunuchs standing at the door hurriedly raised the umbrellas, but Zhu Youxiao discovered that the first snow was falling in the sky in such a short time.

He looked sideways at Zhu Youjian and said, "It's snowing, why don't we wait for the spring to go?"

"..." Hearing these words, Zhu Youjian was speechless.

Now it is said that it snows and waits for the spring, and when the spring begins, it must be said that the rain is heavy and waits for the summer solstice.

The summer solstice is here, and I will definitely say that the heat is unbearable, and I will wait for the autumnal equinox.

After going back and forth like this, a year passed in a blur.

"The first snow is not heavy. If I hurry up, I should be able to reach Changping tomorrow."

"The military camp has already been built in Changping. My brother doesn't have to worry about where I live. The cook from the East Palace has also been brought along. My brother will just see me bring a capable army to my brother next year."

"Hehe..." Seeing Zhu Youjian asking for credit, Zhu Youxiao laughed:

"In this case, then you can bring it back and show it to me."

As he said, Zhu Youxiao's smile slowly froze again, then he frowned and held Zhu Youjian's hand and said:
"Brother, take care."

"En!" Zhu Youjian responded, and at this moment they also walked to the gate of the East Palace.

The four-horse chariot that had been prepared long ago was already waiting, and Lu Wenzhao also bowed slightly and said:

"Long live, Your Highness, Xuanwumen and four hundred Jinyiwei are in charge of escorting, and the three guards of Yubayashi are already outside Andingmen."

"Hmm..." Seeing what Lu Wenzhao said, Zhu Youxiao didn't show any sorrow or joy, but just led Zhu Youjian's hand into the chariot, and Wang Chengen and Wei Zhongxian also got into the carriage and drove for them.

Cao Huachun stayed in Xuqin Palace, and he needed to receive Qi Jin's Zhejiang soldiers and Qin Bangping's white soldiers to Changping.

"drive!"

Wei Zhongxian shook the reins, and the chariot began to drive towards the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the palace. Along the way, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian talked about many things about him.

"I remember when Liu Niangniang passed away, you cried day and night, afraid that Huang Kao would hear about it, so you ran to my palace."

"At that time, my mother said that if a person is sad, it is better to cry naturally, but I think crying is not a good thing, so I coax you."

"But I don't want to cry when my mother died when I was last year."

Zhu Youxiao talked about the past, but Zhu Youjian felt a little weird in his heart.

Both the Liu family and the Wang family died because of someone. He knew very well that these words of the good emperor brother seemed to be reminiscing about the past, but they were more like recounting the hatred of the past.

"Brother, if you want to, don't ask someone to set fire or poison you."

As soon as Zhu Youjian spoke, Zhu Youxiao was stunned, because what he said was what he thought in his heart.

As for why Zhu Youjian could guess, it was because Concubine Li Kang was set on fire but not burned to death in history, and then all party officials Shangshu should not bully Concubine Li Kang, so many scandals occurred in the follow-up.

"Based on what you see, what should we do?" Zhu Youxiao frowned tightly, staring at his younger brother.

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian thought for a while before opening his mouth and saying:

"In short, don't worry about it, brother. I will do it. During this time, brother should not give trouble to foreign ministers. You should take good care of Concubine Li Kang."

"I promise she won't live long." Zhu Youjian looked serious, and it was hard to imagine that such words were spoken by a ten-year-old child.

If others saw it, they would probably be terrified, but Zhu Youxiao didn't.

He only felt that his younger brother was willing to do such a thing for his revenge, and was very moved.

So he held Zhu Youjian's hand, and Zhu Youjian didn't say anything.

It was just the space between the two of them, which was finally interrupted by the stopped chariot.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhu Youjian, didn't say anything, just patted his hand:

"I got out of the car and went to the Wenhua Palace. It's snowing outside. Don't send my brother off. It's not good to be caught in the wind and cold."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the chariot about seven or eight square meters in size, and although Zhu Youjian didn't get out of the car, he opened the window and leaned out half of his body.

He watched as Zhu Youxiao got off the car, turned around and got on the chariot, and then sat back in the chariot with peace of mind.

"Show the Wenhua Palace!"

On the chariot, Wei Zhongxian sang a salute, and the two cars drove in different directions.

It was snowing heavily, and the two brothers who were also sitting in the car began to experience the separation of the "farthest" distance for so many years in their lives.
