Chapter Thirteen: My Big Brother Resurrected?
As Zhu Yuanzhang's second son and the younger brother of the crown prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Chuang was only one year younger than Zhu Biao.
Unlike Zhu Biao, Zhu Ceng was disgusted with literature and martial arts since childhood. When he grew up, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang and participated in many battles.
In the third year of Hongwu, although Zhu Ceng was only fourteen years old, he was named King of Qin under the favor of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.
It was not until the eleventh year of Hongwu that Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to leave him to Xi'an to become a vassal.
Zhu Ceng is both happy and misfortune.
He has grown up under the shadow of his elder brother Zhu Biao since he was a child.
The care Zhu Biao received as his eldest son was far beyond the reach of Zhu Chuang. In his childhood, Zhu Chuang was very hostile to Zhu Biao.
However, this situation has changed since it started to grow up.
Zhu Biao's personal charm is unparalleled. He is kind and generous, and he loves his younger brothers very much.
The younger brothers such as Qin King Zhu Tsu, Jin King Zhu Han, Yan King Zhu Di, Zhou King Zhu Su and others had made mistakes many times, and Zhu Biao reconciled and pleaded for mercy to save them from punishment.
This made many younger brothers convinced their elder brother.
Zhu Biao's prestige was to some extent stronger than their father Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even though Zhu Ceng is now thirty-six years old, he still respects his elder brother Zhu Biao very much.
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, when Empress Ma died, Zhu Ceng didn't cry much.
But this year, the eldest brother Zhu Biao passed away, and Zhu Chuang and other younger brothers were crying heartbrokenly.
Zhu Chuang even drank for several days and nights and couldn't fall asleep.
He was afraid of his father Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Chuang and other younger brothers. He admired his elder brother Zhu Biao from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Chuang was recalled to the capital by Zhu Yuanzhang last year. If it weren't for his elder brother Zhu Biao, even the vassal of the King of Qin would have been stripped of Zhu Yuanzhang.
At this moment, two months after his eldest brother Zhu Biao died, and Zhu Biao felt a sharp pain in his heart whenever he thought of his eldest brother.
At this moment, when he suddenly saw Zhu An, Zhu Ren began to thrust.
"You...you are..."
All of the previous thoughts had been thrown away by Zhu Chuang. Because he was too excited, Zhu Chuang spoke incoherently.
This... Could it be that my elder brother has been resurrected?
"Your Highness, Zhu An, a sage." Zhu An frowned slightly, and his reaction to Zhu Chuang was a little strange.
Hearing Zhu An's voice, Zhu Chuang came to his senses.
Looking closer, Zhu An's face, especially the expression between his eyebrows and eyes, was almost exactly the same as his elder brother Zhu Biao, but in the subtle part, it was still a little different.
This is the younger version of the elder brother. Zhu Biao is one year older than Zhu Ting. When he died, he was already thirty-seven.
The difference between him and Zhu An is only eighteen years old now, and he is naturally quite different.
Zhu Chuang turned over and got off the horse without any hesitation, walked to Zhu An to observe carefully.
That really makes you look more and more like it the more you look at it.
For a moment, Zhu Ren did not have the attitude of raising troops to sue him before, and his expression became much more friendly.
At this time, he also understood why Lan Yu and others had to book breakfast here.
Zhu An felt uncomfortable when Zhu Ren was too close, and he took a step back slightly.
"I wonder what instructions did Your Highness come here today," Zhu An said.
Zhu Ren coughed, and knew that he had lost his composure.
‘There are two people in this world who are so similar.’
Now, with Zhu An's face, he has no intention of blaming him at all.
After pondering for a while, Zhu Chuang turned to say, "I heard that the breakfast in your teahouse is very delicious, so I came here to taste it."
Zhu An was speechless. He had breakfast and brought dozens of people to clear the market. Is it so exaggerated?
However, as a businessman, Zhu An had no choice but to face the prince, and said helplessly: "Please come in and wait a moment, and Caomin immediately prepares breakfast for your highness."
"good."
Zhu Ci responded and directly followed Zhu An into the teahouse, leaving behind guards looking at each other.
The guards were a little confused. When they came, the prince did not mean that.
So what to do now?
Seeing the prince enter, the leading guards hurriedly followed him.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhu Chuang turned his head and scolded the leading guard.
"Your Highness, here we..." The leading guard looked helpless.
"Your Highness, there is a private room on the second floor. Please move your highness." Zhu An said from the side.
Zhu Ren nodded and then said to the leading guard: "Let all brothers come in and have breakfast."
"Thank you, Your Highness." The leader guard did not dare to say much. After Zhu Cheng went upstairs, he called his brothers in to have breakfast, although they had already eaten.
The people watching the fun outside the door saw that the guards had entered the teahouse and were still sitting there quietly, waiting for breakfast to be delivered, and they suddenly started to talk.
"Good guy, I thought something happened to this teahouse again. It turned out that the prince came here to eat in person."
"I just said how could this teahouse get into trouble with the prince? It turned out that I wanted to have hot breakfast."
"When is it now? I'll still have breakfast."
"You don't know this. The time when the prince woke up was different from the grass people. For the prince, he ate breakfast at this time."
I was busy in the teahouse, and so many people came all of a sudden, all of them were officials, but I couldn't neglect them.
The chefs did not dare to complain at all and quickly began to prepare.
The first new one was naturally delivered to the prince, and then the guards.
The servant who had been welcoming guests before walked to the shopkeeper and whispered: "Brother Liu, our boss is so big that the prince can invite him."
The shopkeeper Liu Bo glanced at the servant lightly and scolded: "You should ask less about the boss's affairs and do your duty."
"Yes." The servant immediately didn't dare to speak. Nowadays, it is not easy to have a job as a servant, at least he can have a full meal.
After the leader of the guards went upstairs in Zhu Cheng, he took two guards to the kitchen.
The prince’s food outside must be monitored throughout the process and there must be no delay.
The shopkeeper, Uncle Liu, was over fifty years old, standing at the counter, making plans, as if he was keeping accounts.
Few people find that his hands often hide in his sleeves, with thick bones, as if they are working like this.
But if you see the thick calluses in the palm of your palm, you will understand that it is not that simple.
It was at this moment that at the end of the street, a fast horse and several guards rushed towards the Ping'an Teahouse.
The person in charge was Lan Yu.
Zhu An didn't know that after he killed the owner of Piaoxiang Teahouse, the police's first reaction was Zhu An, but this was blocked by Lan Yu.
Not only that, Lan Yu also arranged people next to the teahouse and then paid attention to the protection.
Shortly after Zhu Ceng brought his people over, Lan Yu, who was in the mansion, was notified.
