Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 238 Homecoming

Writing a poem was just an interlude, and then Lao Zhu took everyone along the river bank.The crops in the fields on both sides are green.

You can see one or two farmers working hard in the fields, the lotus pond is full of green leaves, and a few children wear big lotus leaves on their heads, running around by the pond, catching frogs.

Seeing the officials coming by the river, he was so frightened that he got into the grass immediately. Lao Zhu laughed out loud when he saw this scene, patted Chang Yuchun on the shoulder and said, "I think we were so tall back then."

Chang Yuchun was talking to Lao Zhu, and everyone was chatting and laughing together, Zhu Biao saw Shen Zhiwu who was lagging behind, and was about to go over.

"Brother." Zhu Di stood beside Xu Miaoyun and waved to him: "Brother, come here."

Zhu Biao took a few steps and stood talking with him, while Xu Miaoyun and Chang Meirong were waiting for Zhu Di on the side of the road not far away.

Glancing at Old Zhu at the front, Zhu Biao said to him, "Go, follow quickly."

"yes, Sir!"

Zhu Di readily agreed, turned around and ran towards Xu Miaoyun and the others, and gestured to Zhu Biao.

Chang Meirong glanced at Zhu Biao approaching, and said, "Your Highness, are those two dogs okay?"

Zhu Biao nodded, and then walked forward across the wormwood: "It's very good, Miss Shichang can come to the East Palace to have a look."

"Oops~"

Hearing the ouch, Zhu Biao subconsciously turned around to pick it up, but Chang Meirong tripped over the grass under her feet and fell into Zhu Biao's arms.

Zhu Biao turned too fast, there were many vines under his feet, but now she threw them on him, and the two of them fell into a ball and rolled together.

A few honorable children nearby immediately came to help Zhu Biao, but they were stopped and said: "It's all right, you go and play."

Chang Meirong pressed on Zhu Biao's body, and was startled to feel that the two were close, and Zhu Biao was pressing her waist with one hand, and couldn't help feeling angry and ashamed.

Looking into her eyes, Zhu Biao was talking to other people, not only didn't respond to her, even that hand was only under normal movement protection.

Chang Meirong felt a little disappointed and sour for no reason. Although she was a big girl, she didn't dare to speak, so she got up quickly to help Zhu Biao.

Sanbao, who was following behind, immediately ran up and said anxiously: "Prince, did you fall somewhere?"

"I stumbled on the grass under my feet, see if Miss Chang is okay." Zhu Biao ordered to Sanbao.

"Come on, get rid of the grass and fall on the crown prince, and want your heads." Sanbao pointed to several soldiers who came over and reprimanded them.

Xu Miaoyun also rushed over, and Chang Mao also ran over to greet her sister when she saw her fall.

Seeing that Chang Meirong was being watched over by someone, Zhu Biao walked through the retrograde crowd, walked up to Yu'er, glanced at Shen who was standing there quietly, and said, "What happened just now..."

"I saw it." Zhizhi raised his hand and patted the dirt on his shoulder and said, "It should be, it didn't fall somewhere."

"No." Zhu Biao took a clean brocade handkerchief from Yu'er and handed it to her: "Wipe off your sweat, I will take you back later."

"No need~"

"It's up to the solitary." After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he turned and followed Zhu Di and the others, and Sanbao followed behind, pulling the grass that extended to the road.

Old Zhu walked in the front, walking alone with Liu Bowen, he raised his eyes to look into the distance, and said to Liu Bowen: "Sir, do you want to go home?"

"Your Majesty, my wife has been suffering from old illnesses these years, and I want to go back to Qingtian to take care of her." Liu Bowen replied truthfully.

Lao Zhu glanced at Li Shanchang in the distance, frowned and said, "In our hearts, Prime Minister You has always been Xu Da, and Prime Minister Zuo's No. 1 choice is you, Liu Bowen. We asked you alone when the country was founded. , you don’t know good from bad, so you resolutely reject this matter, huh? Now you’re telling us that you’re going back to your hometown in Qingtian.”

Liu Bowen didn't say a word, of course he really wanted to be prime minister, because in this way, he could realize what his teacher Zheng Fuchu predicted back then.

He will make the Liu family's lintel brighter, and at the same time, his wish to let the people live a better life will come true.

But Liu Bowen understands that firstly, he can't overpower the Lord, and secondly, he is too upright and offended many people by doing things, so he can't realize his wish, and he will die because of it.

"Berwen is telling the truth, His Majesty has been extra merciful to his ministers compared to others." Liu Bowen said with a smile: "Your Majesty was very kind when he determined the taxes and grains of Chuzhou, except for Qingtian."

"Yes, we only had one idea at the time, which was to make your Liu Bowen's hometown people remember you, Liu Bowen, and miss you well.

The National Academy of Scholars is at the beginning, we still hope that you can do more things, but you are good, tell us that you want to return to your hometown to spend your old age in peace? "

"Your Majesty, I have never asked Your Majesty for anything. The only thing is that my prospective minister will return home and take care of his wife for a few days to enjoy his old age." Liu Bowen still insisted.

It turned out that his wife was suffering from old illnesses, after beheading Li Bin.He was targeted by Li Shanchang, and his wife worried many times, and his condition worsened.

It was His Highness the Crown Prince who asked the doctors he summoned to renew his wife's life, but his wife's body was already at the end of her strength, so living two years longer was considered God's blessing.

"We don't allow you to tell your old age to return to your hometown. If we publish a couplet and you answer it, you will be allowed to return to your hometown for half a year. If you can't answer it, you can stay in Nanjing properly. We will send someone to take care of your wife."

Liu Bowen smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, please publish the Shanglian."

"The sky makes the chessboard and the stars make the sons, and the sun and the moon compete for glory." Lao Zhu said.

Without thinking, Liu Bowen said the next sentence: "Thunder is the battle drum and electricity is the banner, and the wind and the cloud will meet."

Hearing Liu Bowen's confrontation, Old Zhu continued: "That's right, we agree with your half-year time limit for returning home. When the time comes, we will send someone to pick you up. In addition, you can pick any doctors and bring two back to Qingtian."

Liu Bowen glanced at it. Although His Majesty is suspicious by nature, he made this couplet in the hope that he would accompany him in the capital.

This is the code of the two of them, and only they can understand it.

"Sir, obey the order."

Liu Bowen knew that this was Lao Zhu's special kindness to him, and he looked at him differently, even the orders he gave him were different from others.

Old Zhu retreated to this point, if he refused to obey again, he really didn't know how to flatter him, so he nodded and said: "Thank you for your kindness."

"Okay, we'll have someone pick you up when the time comes. It's my sister's birthday in a few days, so we'll leave after that."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

Li Shanchang looked at Lao Zhu and Liu Bowen who were walking in the distance, and asked doubtfully, "What are your Majesty and Liu Bowen talking about?"

Hu Weiyong whispered: "It's not a good thing to think about it."

When returning to the palace, Lao Zhu and Liu Bowen kept talking, and Zhu Biao planned to send Shen Zhiwu off.

Yu'er said nervously: "Too...Your Highness, uh...Miss Shen seems to have something on her mind."

Zhu Biao said lightly: "Women are always inexplicable, and I will just go and discipline her later."

Sanbao coughed twice quickly, held back his smile, and pulled the rope to get ready, pretending he didn't hear anything.

Sitting in the carriage, this was the first time she showed jealousy, Zhu Biao half explained and half coaxed, hugged her in his arms and said, "It's really rare."

She was hugged by Zhu Biao, snuggled into his arms, and said: "Although I know it's a common thing, but I feel a little uncomfortable."

This is the reaction of a normal woman. Zhu Biao squeezed her wrist and said: "Xiaobai brought it back from Gansu but gave it to you. You are tired."

"I'm not tired. I have encountered those things at such a young age, and it's too late to feel sorry for her."

Feeling the carriage stopped, Zhu Biao let go of her hand and said, "Go back, Xiaobai and Xiaolian must have been waiting for you for a long time."

Did you know that you lowered your head, lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, and entered Shen's house.

"Master, is Miss Shen okay?"

"Sure, it's much better to be reprimanded." Zhu Biao said nonsense seriously: "Go back to the palace."
