In front of the three women, Zhu Tianjiang suppressed his anger. It's no wonder that Zhu Tianjiang was angry, no one could bear this matter. Zhu Daguan was both putting on a show and helping to attract people, and as a result, the whole family was
After retreating, he is still charging here. Not to mention whether he can feel relieved, the key is that he cannot afford to lose face.
Zhu Tianjiang walked towards the backyard with a cold face. When he saw a small tree next to him, Zhu Daguan gritted his teeth and kicked the tree hard several times.
Daniel didn't know what was going on. He was surprised that Zhu Tianjiang was also practicing martial arts. Daniel walked over happily carrying an iron rod.
"Sir, is this move Master Lin taught you to sweep through thousands of armies?" Daniel said with a very 'expert' look.
"Brother, please listen clearly to me. You are not allowed to do good deeds in the future, you are not allowed to hurt your friends, and you are not allowed to help an old lady cross the road~! You are paralyzed. You are not worthy of being a good person these days." Zhu Tianjiang cursed.
After a while, he turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Daniel stood stupidly in the yard with his mouth open, his brain almost short-circuited. Could it be that the move just now was not 'sweeping thousands of armies', but the 'Foshan Shadowless Kick' that adults often mentioned? Even if he said it wrong, it wouldn't matter.
Grandma, what's the matter?
In the hall, Hong Xiaoqing cried aggrievedly. Zhu Tianjiang's indifference made her feel very uneasy. Zhan Ling and Yelu Doha looked at each other, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Hong Xiaoqing.
"Xiaoqing, God is not angry with you. We women can't decide this matter." Zhan Ling helped Hong Xiaoqing sit on the chair.
"Yes, Big Brother Tiansheng is just unable to turn around for a while. It will be fine in a few days." Yelu Douha also advised him.
"Two sisters, I don't want to see my eldest brother like this, even if he beats me or scolds me. But with him like this, I'm afraid he will~!" Hong Xiaoqing looked at Zhan Ling and Yelu Dou worriedly
Ha, she was really afraid that Zhu Tianjiang would be so angry that she would never have any contact with Xuanzhu again.
"It's okay. I'll persuade Tianxiang later. Since His Highness Xuanzhu is unwilling to compete for the crown prince, what's the use of forcing him." Zhan Ling said with a wry smile.
After the two women persuaded her for a long time, Hong Xiaoqing left Zhu's mansion sadly. Hong Xiaoqing wanted to stay in the mansion for a few days, but she had to go back and tell Xuan Zhu about Zhu Tianjiang's reaction. She even said that Hong Xiaoqing wanted to persuade Xuan Zhu, even if
To show off, he must continue to 'fight' for his position as crown prince.
Zhu Tianjiang washed his face with cold water, sat in the living room and forced himself to calm down. In his previous life, he had heard of people forcing marriages and debts, but he had never heard of forcing people to become emperors.
.If Xuanzhu had insisted that he would not be the prince as soon as he came up, Zhu Tianjiang would not blame him. But now that the arrow is on the string, Xuanzhu's sudden withdrawal will make those courtiers how to trust Zhu Tianjiang again in the future. You must know how to live.
In this world, integrity is more important than anything else. If you lose integrity, the brothers around you will leave you, and the court officials will stay away from you.
After a while, Zhan Ling, Yelu Douha, Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others all came to the backyard. During this time, Zhu Yi and Xia Qing were busy working on Xuan Zhu's affairs, and they learned that Xuan Zhu was withdrawing from the fight for the throne.
, so that they were also shocked.
"Sir, how could it be like this? Xuanzhu doesn't take us seriously." Xia Qing said angrily.
"Huh! If you had known this, you shouldn't have saved him." Zhu Yi said with a snort.
"Don't take it too seriously, Tiansheng. In the worst case, we can go back to Tianqing. On the grassland, you can soar freely like an eagle." Zhan Ling said comfortingly.
"I agree. As long as Brother Tianxiang goes to our Yangjin royal family, I guarantee that I will at least give you the position of commander." Yelu Doha also said.
The fortune teller rolled his eyes unkindly, "What does it mean to be a commander? God has sent us the Uzbek tribe, so he must be the commander-in-chief."
Zhu Tianjiang quickly waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I'm not going anywhere, you two just calm down for a while. Ling'er, go tell the chef to prepare some dishes, I want to drink now."
Zhan Ling glanced at Zhu Tianjiang, nodded and walked out silently. She knew that Tianjiang was in a bad mood now, and wanted to drink to relieve the boredom in her heart.
Zhu Tianjiang really wanted to drink away his sorrows, and Xuanzhu's withdrawal made him very embarrassed. It is estimated that he will become the laughing stock of the court for a period of time. The most important thing is that Zhu Tianjiang does not know what to give to those
How did the courtiers explain it?
"Sir, I just don't understand. Is it possible that Xuanzhu is so easy to persuade? Did Xuanle give him an ecstasy?" Zhu Yi said depressedly.
"The problem is not with Xuan Le, but with Xuan Zhu who has lost his fighting spirit. When a person's heart is dead, even the help of gods is useless." After Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup.
After a few glasses of wine, Zhu Tianjiang's dull mood improved a lot, "Brothers, I understand a truth from Xuanzhu's matter. No matter how good the relationship between Xuanzhu and us is, compared with the continuation of the Li family's empire,
To be honest, if I had not chosen Xuanzhu at that time, I would definitely support Xuanle now. Among the sons of Emperor Chengwu, Xuanle is indeed the most suitable candidate for the throne. This kid
If you are careful and steady, you may become a wise king in the future."
Zhu Tianjiang said, sighed and then said, "Oh~! God is playing tricks on people, letting me meet this useless thing called Xuanzhu first. At that time, I saw that this guy was very cunning, so I arranged an arrangement for him.
Can be on the road to the throne. Now it seems that a dragon is a dragon, and a bug is still a bug. I tell you, brothers, we will no longer rely on others, we can only take everything in our own hands. Wait until spring
After that, I married Yu'er and others, and then I took an opportunity to leave the capital."
"Sir, are you in a hurry? Zhu Si has not yet established a stable foothold in Qingcheng. Besides, our Tianlei artillery truck cannot be built until spring." Xia Qing reminded.
At the mention of the Thunder Cannon Cart, Zhu Tianjiang immediately turned his hatred towards the ghost doctor Zhuo Xing. The fire he lit in Anyuan almost destroyed the entire base. Many of the forges had cracks and could no longer be used.
The most annoying thing is that Zhu Tianjiang collected the gunpowder with great pains, and it was basically wasted.
"By the way, I heard from Zhu Er that bandits are rampant in the Luoyan Mountain area, and they seem to be a group of people led by Zhuo Xing." Zhu Tianjiang asked.
"Yes, it is said that the governor of Pengcheng sent people to encircle and suppress people several times, but all returned without success." Zhu nodded and said.
"Zhuo Xing is a man of many tricks, and he will be a disaster sooner or later. Brother Xia Qing, immediately select a dozen shrewd brothers and infiltrate their ranks. You have been in the world in the past and have rich experience. You can give them a little training." Zhu Tianjiang looked at it.
Xia Qing said.
Zhu Yi and Xia Qing looked at each other and smiled. Zhu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, are you too busy? We have already sent a group of brothers to fight in."
Zhu Tianjiang was startled, and then he remembered that he had made arrangements a long time ago. It seemed that he was really busy.
Zhu Tianjiang was drinking wine in the mansion, but Hong Xiaoqing returned to the prince's mansion with an uneasy heart. In the cold wind, Xuanzhu's thin body stood outside the dormitory, looking forward to Hong Xiaoqing's arrival. There was not even a guard outside the dormitory.
No, it seems that Xuanzhu was sent away.
Hong Xiaoqing originally wanted to complain a few words when they met, but when she saw Xuan Zhu's shivering body, Hong Xiaoqing's heart softened immediately.
"Zhu~! It's so cold, why are you standing outside the door? Come in quickly." Hong Xiaoqing took a few steps to help Xuan Zhu enter the door.
Xuanzhu shook his head, "What did Tianxiang say?"
Hong Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Brother, he didn't say anything."
"Didn't you say anything?" Xuanzhu looked at Hong Xiaoqing, "Doesn't he even want to say a word?"
"Zhu, let's go inside and talk."
Hong Xiaoqing helped Xuanzhu into the bedroom. There was a brazier burning in the room, and the difference in heat and cold made Hong Xiaoqing's face flush.
"Xiaoqing, Tianxiang didn't say a word?"
Hong Xiaoqing looked at Xuan Zhu, bit his lip and said, "Zhu, I think you should listen to your elder brother and continue to fight for the position of crown prince. Even if you just deal with it, I'm afraid my elder brother will be very sad."
Xuanzhu looked at Hong Xiaoqing's expectant eyes and shook his head silently, "Xiaoqing, you can't joke about this kind of thing. If it were other things, maybe I could go back on my word. But it is about the battle for the crown prince, and what I say cannot be changed.
As a prince, if you break your promise on this matter, you are not worthy of becoming the Emperor of Dafeng."
"But the eldest brother is really sad, and he didn't even say a word of anger. Your Highness, even if you think about me, you should continue to fight for the crown prince. Even if you can't earn it, at least it can make the eldest brother look good."
Xuanzhu shook his head again, "You don't understand. I'm afraid that third brother will have people spread the news about this kind of thing as soon as he returns to the house. If I go back on my promise, not only will third brother Xuanle look down on me, but even Zhu Tianjiang will look down on me."
And those courtiers will also regard me, Xuanzhu, as a villain."
When Hong Xiaoqing heard this, he lowered his head sadly, "Zhu, you didn't see how big brother looked at that time. To be honest, I was very scared."
Xuanzhu reached out and stroked Hong Xiaoqing's hair, and gently held her in his arms, "Don't worry, I understand Tianxiang, there is nothing in the world that can make him take heart. In a few days, I will personally
Door-to-door.”
Hong Xiaoqing sighed secretly. As a woman, she could not change anything. She could only pray in her heart that Xuan Zhu and Zhu Tianliang would not turn against each other.
Emperor Chengwu held the memorial in Qiangong's case, which Xuanzhu had just sent. Hong Xiaoqing went to the Zhu Mansion, and Xuanzhu wrote the memorial and ordered it to be delivered to Emperor Chengwu immediately.
When he learned that Xuanzhu had voluntarily withdrawn from the battle for the crown prince and wanted to assist his third brother to secure his future, Emperor Chengwu felt as if his five-flavor bottle had been shattered, and his eyes were a little moist.
"Alas, my son Xuanzhu is so sensible!" Emperor Cheng Wu said with emotion and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Wei Zhenghai served Emperor Chengwu carefully, not knowing why he said this. Seeing that the circles under Chengwu's eyes were a little red, Wei Zhenghai thought that Xuanzhu's old illness had relapsed.
"Zhenghai, pass the decree, and I will give you a hundred pieces of Xuanzhu brocade and a carriage seat. I will also give my ### skin to the Xuanzhu child."
After Emperor Chengwu finished speaking, he immediately stopped Wei Zhenghai and said, "Wait a minute, and we will pass on the decree to reward Hong Xiaoqing as a fourth-grade talented woman, and give her a royal title!"
When Wei Zhenghai heard this, he said, "My dear, what great achievements has His Royal Highness Xuanzhu made to be rewarded by the emperor like this? You must know that there is only one piece of white tiger skin in the entire palace, and even Emperor Chengwu was reluctant to wear it."
The news of Xuanzhu's withdrawal from the fight for the crown prince spread throughout the capital in less than a day. The courtiers of Xuanle's faction decorated the palace with lanterns and decorations as if they were celebrating a grand festival. But the courtiers who followed Xuanzhu felt as if they were mourning their heirs.
Many officials began to contact each other, and they gathered together in a short time. They were going to Zhu Tianjiang's mansion to ask him what to do. You must know that supporting the prince is like risking your life. If you don't do well, the entire family may be involved. Especially
Some previously neutral court officials were dragged into the trap by Zhu Tianjiang, and they wished they could destroy Zhu's mansion.
