Father can be an enemy to the country

Jiangdongmen Pier.

The prince's family, as well as Wang Run'er, mother and son, have been waiting eagerly for a long time.

"Father!" As soon as he saw Zhu Zhen coming down the gangway, five-year-old Meng Xu rushed forward excitedly like a calf that saw red cloth.

"Haha, Meng Xu. Oh, slow down..." Zhu Zhen quickly hugged his running son to prevent him from falling into the river.

Then he held him in his arms and kissed him hard. "Have you missed your father?"

"I think about it every day." Zhu Mengxu said in a sweet voice, "Concubine, I think about it even more, and even secretly shed tears."

"Meng Xu, don't talk nonsense." Wang Run'er blushed. The family couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle Six!" Zhu Xiongying also hurriedly came up to greet him. After not seeing each other for a year, the emperor's eldest grandson is taller and has grown into an adult. He is embarrassed to pounce on the sixth son like he did when he was a child.

But the joy on his face was just like his childhood.

Zhu Zhen held his son in one hand and his nephew in the other, and stepped forward to salute his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

"Lao Liu, you've worked hard..." The prince looked at Zhu Zhen's rough skin and his body that had obviously lost weight three times, and his distressed eyes were red.

"Haha, brother. How many times have you said this?" Zhu Zhen joked with a smile: "I always say this when we meet."

"Yes, it's hard every time, but this time it's the hardest." Zhu Biao squeezed Zhu Zhen's shoulders hard, and exchanged greetings with Lao Wu and Eleven Twelve.

"The third brother served as a supervisor for Lan Yu and led the troops together. He felt it was boring on the road, so he had to drag the second brother to accompany him." Although Zhu Biao already knew that the second and third brothers did not come back together, Zhu Zhen still Reported once.

"Yes, the arrangement is very appropriate." Zhu Biao nodded and said: "I have always been worried that Lan Yu will get carried away, and I even wrote a letter specifically telling him not to be arrogant when winning, but I still feel more at ease when the third child looks at him."

"Yes." Zhu Zhen reminded the eldest brother: "He has been a little complacent, but because he was worried about the fourth brother's matter, he can restrain himself. The eldest brother still has to remind him later, don't let him harm himself or others."

"I understand." Zhu Biao knew that when Lao Liu said this, Lan Yu must have gotten into some trouble again. But now was not the time to talk about this, so he asked in a low voice: "Where is the fourth child?"

"It's in the prison car." Zhu Zhen replied.

"Where's the prison van?"

"He's on the boat." Zhu Zhen said softly: "Let him get off when there are fewer people, right?"

"Oh, it's better to come down now." The prince sighed and whispered: "Father is very angry with you for taking the sea route, saying that you are playing tricks on him. If you don't be honest when you enter the capital, why don't you? I know how my father punished the fourth child."

"Today is the Chinese New Year." Zhu Zhen frowned.

"It's not like we celebrate the New Year every day..." The prince sighed softly and said, "You know my father's temper."

He lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, the fourth child will be fine."

"Well, I listen to my elder brother." Zhu Zhen then ordered obediently: "Hang down the prison car."

So the sergeant at the dock shook the orange and slowly lifted the prison car onto the shore.

The first prison car was Lao Si.

"Slow down, slow down, be careful!" The prince watched nervously as the prison car swayed slightly in mid-air, his heart in his throat.

It wasn't until the prison car landed firmly that he breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to see the fourth child. I saw the fourth child locked in a cage. He was thin and haggard, his hair was disheveled, and his robes were dirty and messy. He looked extremely miserable.

The prince burst into tears on the spot, holding the fourth child's hand and choking with sobs: "Silly boy, you really ruined yourself."

"Brother, don't be sad, I deserve to be punished." Zhu Di also said with red eyes: "I did all this voluntarily, otherwise how would military law exist?"

"Alas..." The prince felt more and more sorry for the fourth child and couldn't help but give him reassurance and said: "Don't worry, my father has basically calmed down. If you have a better attitude, you can pass the amnesty."

"Yeah, yeah. I've made my brother trouble me again." Zhu Di said gratefully, "I really don't know how to repay my brother."

"No need, who made me your eldest brother?" The prince squeezed his hand tightly and comforted Ping An and Zhang Yu.

Eleven and Twelve were all stunned, thinking that Fourth Brother’s acting skills were too superb, right?

I was obviously dissatisfied and full of resentment all the way, but as soon as I entered Beijing, I immediately turned into a good, sincere and repentant baby... I'm really dissatisfied.

When your highnesses made arrangements to return to the palace, they saw that the streets were already crowded with people, all of whom were the people of the capital who had heard the news and came to welcome him.

Ever since they learned that the Heavenly Soldiers had completely wiped out Bei Yuan, the people in the capital had been looking forward to the day when the army would triumph. Although only a few of their highnesses came back today, with the sixth and fourth children here, they must welcome them.

Although we only got the news this morning and couldn't make good preparations in a hurry, today coincides with New Year's Eve, and every household has fireworks, so people moved out the firecrackers at home in advance. Wherever the team went, firecrackers went off. The song kept crackling all the way to welcome all the princes on their triumphant return.

In this atmosphere, naturally no one would laugh at the few people sitting in the prison car. Many people who knew Zhu Di's identity kowtowed to him instead. They also looked like a beggar, stuffing salted duck, bacon chicken, smoked fish and the like for the Chinese New Year into his prison van, expressing their support for him in this simple way.

Zhu Di's moved nose was sore all the time, and tears fell down. He was actually mentally prepared to be laughed at, humiliated, and even thrown a rotten egg.

But he never expected that he would be welcomed so warmly by the people of the capital.

Zhu Di was smart and of course he knew what was going on. He stared at the prince's carriage in front of him, and his eyes were blurred with tears again.

~~

On the jade carriage, Zhu Zhen looked at the grand occasion outside and smiled to the prince: "Thank you for your trouble, brother."

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Zhu Biao touched his neatly trimmed beard and smiled: "This is all spontaneous by the people."

"Oh, it's spontaneous." Zhu Zhen nodded and smiled: "This is what the people want, and the emperor should feel relieved."

"That's right." Zhu Biao nodded and said: "But whether the emperor will think so depends on your ability."

"I know, it's to make the old man happy." Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "Just wait and see."

~~

When the carriage arrived outside Xihua Gate, a eunuch passed on the order to hand over Yan Wang Di to the Dazongzheng Temple for detention. Ping An Zhang Yu was handed over to Jinyiwei for detention. The Prince of Chuhaidian, Zhen, Zhou, Chun, Shu, and Xiang, Bai, came to see him.

Watching the fourth brother and others being taken away, Zhu Zhen sighed softly: "It's New Year's Day..."

"Let's go, it's getting late, everyone is waiting." The prince patted his shoulder and led his brothers into the Forbidden City.
