Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

A very ordinary carriage, low-key approaching Jiangning County. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ

Inside the carriage.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess Chang said nothing.

How about we go to Tuqiao Village first to see how our fourth brother and Miaoyun are doing, then come back and visit uncle again? At a certain moment, the Crown Princess suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Zhu Biao looked at him in surprise, and after a while he asked, Don't you resent the fourth child?

Mrs. Chang immediately laughed, What are you resenting?

First of all, it was my uncle who clung to my fourth brother.

Secondly, I know my uncle. Even though he has many faults, he will still be resentful of this defeat. He may not be able to get over this hurdle for the rest of his life. He will hold a grudge against his fourth brother for the rest of his life, trying to regain the lost face.

But he will never allow others to save his respect for him.

In his opinion, having others stand up for him is the greatest humiliation to him.

Zhu Biao smiled and encouraged: Keep talking, just the two of us, we can talk about whatever we have in mind.

Then I really said it.

Mrs. Chang looked like a general and she said sternly: My father cruelly demoted my fourth brother to a commoner.

Indulge everyone in targeting the fourth brother.

I am protecting you, and I am also protecting other princes.

…

Uncle, Lu Ben, and even all the court officials who support you are targeting your fourth brother, either openly or covertly.

The others are just not as obvious as my uncle.

They trampled on the fourth brother. On the one hand, they were worried about the fourth brother. On the other hand, they targeted the fourth brother to show it to other princes.

They did this out of loyalty to you and out of self-interest.

You're in trouble.

You trust my fourth brother, but you can't blame uncle and the others too harshly. After all, they are all doing it for you. Being too harsh will chill the hearts of the ministers.

…

Zhu Biao was surprised.

Since marrying him as the crown princess, his wife has never made any remarks on the affairs of the DPRK and China.

In addition to giving birth to children for him.

Even the internal affairs of the East Palace rarely interfere.

Except for a few particularly important matters, which would be handled personally, many matters were generously delegated to the concubine Lu.

As for herself, if she had time, she would rather go to the martial arts arena in the East Palace to dance with swords and guns.

To be honest, he treated his wife more out of his responsibility as a husband and respect for the late King Kaiping and his father-in-law Chang Yuchun.

If we really talk about feelings, maybe it is not as good as his love for his concubine Lu.

Although he, the prince, does not have the suspicion of his father.

But he wants to be a good prince.

However, the conflict between the father and the courtiers' ideas on how to govern the country was very sharp.

He was caught in the middle, trying to satisfy his father and the courtiers, which was very difficult and stressful.

Lu is gentle, considerate, and comes from a scholarly family. She can talk and can always enlighten him and relieve his stress.

As time went by, although in terms of behavior, he never did anything like doting on his concubines and destroying his wives, and respected his first wife in every aspect, in terms of emotions, he inevitably favored the Lu family.

This time the courtiers who supported him clashed with the fourth brother.

The side concubine, Lu, was on the side of the courtiers and could not relieve him like before.

In the past, he never expressed his opinions, never knew how to be cool, understanding, and understanding of his wife, but he became a blockbuster!

Those words made him suddenly enlightened!

Zhu Biao reached out, held Chang's hand, and asked with a smile: What about you? Do you believe me, fourth brother?

Mrs. Chang lowered her head and glanced at Zhu Biao's extended hand, and said cheerfully: I believe it!

Who fights for the heir apparent and shouts loudly, but never does anything?

I think in history, most of the princes who competed for the heir apparent secretly conspired to seize the heir, but they never said anything about seizing the heir.

Only the fourth brother only shouts slogans and does nothing.

My father said when he was still alive, don't look at what a person says, look at what he does.

What's more, even if the fourth brother really wants to seize the throne, what the fourth brother does is an honest and fair fight between gentlemen.

The dispute between gentlemen has no personal grudges, it is just a dispute between ideals and ambitions.

We can fight against our fourth brother, an upright gentleman!

new

It's not convenient for you to come visit my fourth brother on weekdays, so I just take this opportunity to do so. I also want to visit Miaoyun and see if my fourth brother can support Miaoyun well.

I'm not as good as you! Zhu Biao gently patted the back of Chang's hand with his other hand, sighed, and immediately smiled easily.

Chang turned his head and looked outside along the gap in the car curtain blown by the wind, with a smile on his lips.

Looking at Chang's profile, Zhu Biao suddenly smiled.

I was too careless before laughing.

No, it’s not that I’m not careful enough, it’s that I don’t have a pair of eyes that are good at discovery and insight!

The wife doesn't care about the trivial matters in the East Palace.

Unlike the concubine Lu, who knows both cold and heat, she is gentle and can enlighten him.

He also likes to dance with swords and guns.

It’s not that he’s not virtuous enough, he’s just big-minded.

In the eyes of a big-minded person, many things are not worth fighting for!

Trivial things in the East Palace, whether cold or hot, if Mrs. Lu wanted to do it and could do it well, she would generously leave it to Mr. Lu.

Looking at Mrs. Chang with a smile, Zhu Biao shouted cheerfully outside: Go to Tuqiao Village!

…

Tuqiao Village.

By asking for directions.

The carriage arrived outside Zhu Di's small fenced courtyard.

Zhu Biao got out of the car first and turned around to help Chang.

Chang smiled, put her hand on Zhu Biao's arm, jumped slightly, and stood firmly beside Zhu Biao.

The two of them stood outside the small fenced courtyard and looked at...

The small courtyard was so clean that there wasn't even a dead leaf or a weed.

There is an apricot tree planted on the west side of the hut, and purple-black, dense clusters have sprouted from the apricot tree.

Perhaps, after waking up from a night of spring breeze, the apricot blossoms will bend the branches.

Various farm tools are arranged in an orderly manner on the west side.

In the cowshed on the east side, Dahuang and Xiaohei both turned their heads when they saw the stranger.

So neat! Did Miaoyun take care of this? After careful observation, Chang couldn't help but exclaimed.

Zhu Biao pushed open the small fence door and said with a smile: Miao Yun must have contributed, but according to the information compiled by Jin Yiwei, the fourth brother moved in and began to take care of and run the small family seriously.

The two of them talked and came to the door.

Looking at the locked door and looking at each other, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Zhu Biao pointed to the window, Maybe the window is not closed.

He quickly walked to the window, reached out and pushed it, and sure enough, the window was not stuck from the inside.

Mrs. Chang hurriedly walked over.

The couple climbed to the window and looked at the cabin.

Lao Si made the mats on the roof, and his craftsmanship is quite good!

And this wall, Jin Yiwei reported, it was also the fourth son who sifted the fine mud and painted it himself.

Look, Miaoyun and Fourth Brother have folded the quilt into tofu blocks!

And this window...

After carefully visiting the hut through the window, Mrs. Chang once again looked at the smoky but neat little courtyard, and said with emotion: It's very warm. Fourth brother and Miaoyun must be very happy.

I'm a little envious of Miaoyun and my fourth brother. If we were farmers, we wouldn't be able to live as warm a life as they do, right?

Zhu Biao didn't shy away, smiled and nodded, admitting that he couldn't do it.

The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be famous; if the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous. It turns out that the romanticism in the poem can really be realized in reality. Zhu Biao looked at the small courtyard, envious sighed.

Who are you? At this moment, several aunts passed by and saw the two of them alertly asking.

Zhu Biao walked over with a smile and explained: We are Xu Daya's family.

Zhu Di made up his own life experience in Tuqiao Village, and Jin Yiwei also reported it.

Zhu Biao also knew.

It turns out they are Da Ya's mother-in-law! The aunts suddenly became enthusiastic.

Da Ya?

puff!

Chang couldn't help but laugh when she heard Xu Miaoyun's current name, and couldn't wait to ask: Where are Daya and Silang? How is Daya doing? Are they living happily after marriage?

“You’ve asked the right person about this!”

Yes, yes, we know best in the village, Shiro and Daya!
