Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 1014: Brothers tease each other and set traps for each other

If it was a general deployment of generals, it would naturally be decided by Emperor Zhu Biao.

It was a rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs.

But if it involves the three energetic young men in front of us, it would be different.

If these spirited young men who are eager to achieve great things were really thrown to the border because of a disagreement, do you think Empress Ma would forgive them afterwards?
If the blow was not harsh enough, it was because the Queen of Centaur was full of maternal love.

So, Zhu Biao nodded to his three younger brothers.

"Well, we know what you think!"

"Well, we are going back to the palace, you guys come with us!"

"Let's go discuss this with the Queen Mother. If she has no objection, we will write you an imperial edict right away. How about that?"

The three brothers all looked at Zhu Biao with squinted eyes at the same time.

The dog is still your big brother dog.

I guess you accept this favor, but we have to do the work ourselves and bear any punishment ourselves?

And maybe, afterwards you will even pretend to say a few good words for us brothers in front of our mother?
We are all brothers and sisters from the same mother. It is somewhat inappropriate for you, as the eldest brother, to do such a thing, right?

If they had looked at Zhu Biao like this in the past, Zhu Biao might have felt a little embarrassed and would have changed his words because he could not stand such a look.

But now they are facing the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongle.

Now that he has become the emperor, his understanding of the concept of face has definitely improved by leaps and bounds.

Especially the difference between appearance and substance, my understanding is definitely more profound than before.

Therefore, facing the dead dog-like looks from his brothers, Zhu Biao ignored them and asked back with a sincere face as if it was natural:
"how?"

"What do you think is the problem?"

"Do you dare to run without the Queen Mother's approval?"

"If that's the case, I can't guarantee that you'll be fine, brother!"

Hearing these words of 'adding insult to injury' and 'brotherly love and respect', the three brothers looked at each other and nodded silently.

"Ahem, well, big brother, if that's the case, let's go see the Queen Mother together!"

"As for the food and grass supply at the border, I'll have to trouble you, big brother!"

Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the three brothers with a little suspicion.

There's something wrong with these little guys.

How come after being tricked by me, you not only don't resist, but are so obedient instead?

These three are not honest people.

Since childhood, he could only behave himself in front of his father. In front of other people, he would be unruly.

He gave in so easily now, is this a trap?
However, no matter where the pit is, since his younger brothers have made normal requests, can Zhu Biao still refuse?
Afterwards, the brothers, some riding in cars and some riding on horses, maintained a "friendly" smile on each other and drove towards the palace.

However, Hu Xinyue, who was sitting in the car nearby, curled up the corners of her mouth slightly as she watched the tricks played by these brothers.

Of course, she did not understand the personalities of her brothers as well as Zhu Biao did, but she always kept in mind a method taught to her by Master Hu.

"Yue'er, you will meet some people in the future who will make all kinds of calculations and all kinds of fancy arrangements, which will make everything so mysterious."

"You don't even know why people arrange it this way." "But there is one thing you must grasp firmly, that is, to understand what the other party wants."

"As long as you understand what they want, all other means are nothing more than tricks set up to achieve this goal. Just treat them as if they don't exist!"

When Hu Xinyue heard this, she still felt a little confused.

Now it seems that this is the current situation.

The three brothers of the Zhu family had lost all chance of becoming emperor and wanted to follow the example of the Hu family and establish a country overseas. But at the same time, they wanted to allocate more population, military strength, armaments, food and supplies from their home.

But on the other hand, they did not have the capital to discuss with Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.

Now that they have this opportunity to develop, what if they can achieve military merit?

It is an iron rule that merit must be rewarded!
At that time, could these three guys use their military achievements to blackmail their father and elder brother?
And what about her husband, the emperor Zhu Biao? He still treats these brothers as brothers?
Got it!
Nine times out of ten you'll be cheated.

However, I guess it won't deceive much, so just think of it as a joke between brothers.

Hu Xinyue glanced at the three brothers riding on horses, and her eyes were particularly meaningful.

The three brothers were also smart people. When they saw their eldest sister-in-law smiling playfully, they immediately realized that their little plan had been seen through by her.

Their hearts were about to jump out of their chests, and they quickly begged for mercy while Zhu Biao was still talking to the ministers in front of them.

As the eldest sister-in-law, Miss Hu was naturally cheerful. Looking at their anxious faces sweating, she nodded slightly.

"Don't go too far and hurt the brotherhood!"

In response to this request, the three brothers nodded quickly!

They themselves had no intention of doing anything to Zhu Biao. They just planned to file a complaint in front of the Queen Mother later.

This kind of thing has been something they have enjoyed doing since they were little.

I guess it won't hurt feelings.

It’s inconvenient to let others know that I can’t reply, and it’s even more inconvenient to admit defeat.

Seeing that the smart sister-in-law nodded and stopped looking at them, the three brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and then wiped their foreheads covered with cold sweat.

The three brothers unconsciously slowed down their horses, falling a little behind the Phoenix Chariot, and then huddled together and whispered.

"My goodness, why didn't I realize before that our new sister-in-law is so amazing?"

"We have played tricks on each other so many times. Only our brothers know about it, and we have been tricked time and time again. How can a woman like her see through our plans at a glance?"

No wonder they were panicked.

As children of the royal family, they are not only proud of their status, but also believe that they are no inferior to others in terms of ability, wisdom, military strategy and other aspects.

But in the end, this sister-in-law who had not been well-known before suddenly showed a stronger mind than them. It would be strange if they were not surprised.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, was more at ease because he had met Hu Xinyue before.

"Second brother, third brother, who do you think Uncle Hu is?"

"How could the daughter he raised be the kind of girl from an ordinary family who only knows how to scheme about the private affairs of the harem?"

"It's not surprising if he has the ability, but I'm curious if he doesn't have the ability!"

"Okay, don't worry about it, just tell him about the boss's business later!"

"Otherwise, we would be too frustrated today!" (End of this chapter)
