Zhu Gaochi is going to Japan.

This news spread widely in the palace. After all, they are all descendants of the royal family, so the news is relatively well-informed.

Most of the noble concubines, princes and grandsons are more concerned about this matter.

The establishment of the new vassal system also caused all the princes and grandsons to find a way out for themselves, or they could only become rich and idle princes, living in idleness and waiting to die.

In fact, for most princes and grandsons of royal family backgrounds, they always want to mess with something.

Everyone is still young and dreams of breaking into a world of their own.

In terms of literature, military and military affairs, there are top famous teachers here in the palace academy. If they are trained as much as possible, it will naturally be easy to breed great ambitions.

There are very few people who want to just lie down and live out their lives like salted fish.

After all, they have had no shortage of food and drink since they were born, and with Zhu Ying's continuous increase in internal funds, their expenses are at least several levels higher than before.

Not to mention anything else, even the most ordinary concubine lives a daily life of four meats, four vegetables and one soup.

Princes and grandsons have a fixed monthly salary since birth.

According to the age group, the monthly income is five guan notes at birth, and can reach 30 guan notes per month after adulthood.

It may not sound like much, but all other food and clothing expenses are reimbursed, which is equivalent to pocket money for the princes and grandchildren.

And after being conferred the throne, you can also get a higher salary.

Now, Bu Xing has given land to them, and they all receive treasure money directly.

All the property belongs to the inner money and cannot be entered or exited.

After Mrs. Lu learned that Zhu Gaochi was going to Japan, she inquired in many ways.

It’s now clear who Zhu Gaochi’s team is now.

Then he called Zhu Yunwen and said: "Your Chi brother is going to the Japanese country now. My mother heard that he even invited Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, from the grandson."

"Xia Yuanji has many friends, and now he has formed a team of people. Now that he has returned to Japan, he has almost taken care of all the officials."

"I heard that your cousin Li Jinglong has won over many talented people, and he was originally planning to take him to the Japanese country with King Yan."

"You don't have a good relationship with your cousin. Why don't you go and find out what's going on? Previously, those talented people all went to Prince Yan, but now that they have been changed to the heir apparent, they must be somewhat reluctant."

"And now that Prince Yan has directly approached Xia Yuanji, those talented people must be feeling even more uncomfortable. Talk to Duke Cao and see if you can convince a few of them to follow us to capture the city."

Lu's mind was delicate, and just through some original things, he judged that those people recruited by Li Jinglong before would definitely have a gap because of Zhu Gaochi's invitation to Xia Yuanji.

According to Zhu Gaochi's current situation, if Xia Yuanji followed him to Yancheng of the Japanese state, he should be as powerful as a prime minister.

The Buddha is too big, and some people will not be willing to do it.

This is an opportunity.

Because of her natal family background and her previous self-protection, Lu did not have many connections in the government and the public.

There was no need for this in the first place. As the Crown Princess, she was naturally of noble status. Even if the Crown Prince passed away, it would not have any impact on her.

Just Zhu Ying's sudden appearance made Lu feel a little embarrassed.

Now I can only think of ways to win over some talents to follow him to capture the city.

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he looked a little hesitant.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let me tell my cousin, something is not right."

After all, he is a young man and can't lose face.

"What's wrong?"

Lu's tone suddenly became more elevated, and then she calmed down and said, "We, the two of us, are in great need of talented people from the Ming Dynasty to assist us when we go to places like Champa."

"Otherwise, just by relying on you and me, we won't even be able to manage our own territory well."

"I think your eldest brother has no intention of sending troops to attack Champa, so when the time comes, he will probably delimit a piece of land from Champa as your vassal state."

"When the time comes, we will still have to fight against the royal family in Champa. Your mother knows your temper. How can you possibly defeat them? So you will have to rely on others."

"Go to your cousin and express the pain in your heart. He will eventually find a solution for you."

Listening to these words, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but think of his cousin Li Jinglong's kindness to him.

After thinking about it in my mind, I felt that my cousin should help me, so I nodded in agreement.

After watching her son Zhu Yunwen go out, Mrs. Lu called her maid: "Please come over, Mr. Huang Zicheng."

The maid quickly responded.

Although Huang Zicheng does not seem to have any special performance, his talent and learning are not inferior even if he is above the imperial court.

After all, Huang Zicheng was Zhu Yuanzhang's specially designated East Palace companion to Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Ying had not yet appeared at that time, so he was regarded as the designated assistant minister.

When going to Champa this time, Lu knew that Huang Zicheng didn't really want to go.

But Lu had to help convince him.

Not long after, Huang Zicheng was summoned from the Hanlin Academy.

"I have met the Crown Princess."

Huang Zicheng bowed respectfully.

Mrs. Lu said with a smile on her face, "Mr. Huang, you're welcome. Please take a seat and serve tea."

When the maid brought the freshly brewed tea, Huang Zicheng quickly said he didn't dare.

Then he sat down.

Lu said: "During this period, Mr. Huang has been a little aggrieved because of Yun Wen's incident."

"It's just that fate is like this. There is no other way. I think Mr. Huang should have figured it out in his mind."

Huang Zicheng felt a little sad when he heard what Lu said.

Originally, he was supposed to be a popular minister, respected by His Majesty, and accompanying him in the East Palace. He would definitely hold great power in the future.

But with the appearance of Zhu Ying, his identity became embarrassing.

As the former Taisun's East Palace companion, Zhu Ying would definitely not be able to go there. Now Zhu Yunwen's side, after Zhu Ying was canonized as His Highness the Taisun, naturally canceled his status as the East Palace companion.

The number of visits to the East Palace has also gradually decreased, and now I stay in the Hanlin Academy for a long time.

The status is neither up nor down.

Huang Zicheng cupped his hands with a wry smile and said: "His Royal Highness Taisun is very talented and knowledgeable. Now the Ming Dynasty is becoming more prosperous and prosperous under his rule. All the ministers think of His Highness Taisun from the bottom of their hearts. This is true among the military attachés and military officers."

"Among the common people, he is extremely loved. Everyone praises the future Ming Dynasty. Under the leadership of His Highness Taisun, it will be a prosperous and healthy Ming Dynasty."

Huang Zicheng did not answer Lu's question directly, but seemed to be praising Zhu Ying.

In fact, the purpose of these words was to tell Mr. Lu that now His Royal Highness Taisun is full of power, all civil and military officials obey his orders, and the people also support him very much. If he wants to have any ideas, I will not accompany him.

Lu naturally understood the meaning here and smiled and said: "What Mr. Huang said is absolutely true. His Highness Taisun's current prestige may be almost the same as His Majesty. Having such a prince is really a blessing to the Ming Dynasty."

"The reason why I invited you here today is not for any other reason, but because of your future career."

"Sir, I have heard that Xia Yuanji, the head of the Household Department, has decided to follow the Crown Prince of Yan to Yancheng, the Japanese country. This matter has already been approved by His Highness the Grand Sun."

Even after talking about this, Huang Zicheng still didn't understand what Lu meant.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, Huang Zicheng can completely reject Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu is no longer the former Mrs. Lu. With Mrs. Lu and Zhu Yunwen about to leave, Huang Zicheng is not worried that these two women can come to him.

trouble.

But Huang Zicheng was also hesitant in his heart.

In fact, his life in the capital is very good now, and he is very satisfied with it. Because of the reform of official salaries, even in the Hanlin Academy, his income is considered very good, at least supporting a family is not a problem.

It is normal to eat meat every now and then.

The prosperity and convenience of the capital make it difficult for anyone living here to leave, and Huang Zicheng is naturally no exception.

He actually knew the news that Zhu Yunwen was going to capture the city a long time ago, but Huang Zicheng never expressed his position on this matter.

After all, he is not only doing it for himself, but also for his sons.

No matter how you look at it, it is much better to learn about your background in the capital than to go to a barren place like Champa.

It was just Xia Yuanji's matter that gave him a few more thoughts.

Seeing Huang Zicheng's hesitation, Mrs. Lu knew that this must be possible, and immediately said: "Sir, I think you have never been to Zhancheng."

"But there is one thing you can go and find out. His Highness Taisun is currently building a maritime trade, and in the Nanyang area, the first stop he will pass is Champa."

"This means that specialties from Jiangnan and other places will be shipped to Champa first."

"No matter what, Yunwen is the younger brother of His Highness Taisun. He has never done anything to embarrass His Highness Taisun before. I think you are also aware of His Majesty's attitude towards Yunwen."

"Champa as Yunwen's vassal state is something that the grandson has agreed to. If we take care of it in the future, it won't be a particularly difficult thing."

"With the drive of the Ming Dynasty, the economy of Champa City will definitely not be too bad. Even if the price is a little more expensive, what is available in the Ming Dynasty will naturally be available in Champa City."

"If you follow me, sir, you will be like Xia Yuanji. As for the civil servants in Zhancheng, you should be led by me."

"If Mr. Yun has indeed made great achievements in Champa City, I think it is not impossible that Yun Wen is not a petty person. It is not impossible to give Mr. Yun a hereditary title and be associated with the wealth and wealth of our vassal country for generations."
