Lao Zhu delegates power

Lao Zhu looked through the memorials reviewed by Zhu Biao and became even more satisfied. Lao Zhu was extremely satisfied with his legitimate son. Lao Zhu was satisfied with the prince's control of the court and the handling of political affairs.

"Father, if we attack Northern Liaoning this time, we must let Lan Yu go with us." Zhu Biao continued to review the memorial while saying, "Northern Liaoning must be pacified, and Naha must go out and cure it."

Taiwei Naha of the Northern Yuan Dynasty occupied the area north of the Songhua River. He had hundreds of thousands of troops and moved between Liaodong and the Liaohe River Basin, which was a major problem for the Ming Empire in the Northeast.

Getting rid of this force is what Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao have long wanted to do. Although the Yuan Dynasty was driven out of the hinterland of the Central Plains, they have been active on the northeastern border and still have a thief's heart to return to the Central Plains.

Lao Zhu nodded and said, "We are training troops now and raising food and grass. It is time to solve these scourges. Biao'er, what do you think of Lan Yu?"

"He's handsome, but he's just too domineering." Zhu Biao laughed and said to Old Zhu, "Father, there are many such arrogant and domineering warriors under his command. If Lan Yu restrained himself a little, it would be a good sword."

Lao Zhu smiled. As the uncle of the Crown Princess, Lan Yu naturally tried his best to protect Crown Prince Zhu Biao's status as the crown prince. As the flag of the Crown Prince's martial arts, Lao Zhu still hoped that Lan Yu could help Zhu Biao control the military power after Zhu Biao ascended the throne.

I hope Lan Yu can assist the prince in wiping out Bei Yuan.

Thinking of something, Zhu Biao said with a smile, "Father, I already have many military honors in the East Palace, and many generals who command troops outside. I didn't think much about it, but that kid Ying'er is also training me.

His martial arts team is gone."

Lao Zhu couldn't help but laugh immediately. This was really something he felt proud of.

Lao Zhu did not feel taboo at all about the Prince of the East Palace controlling military power, and even many generals served for the East Palace under his instruction. Emperors of other dynasties were wary of the Crown Prince controlling military power. That was a matter for other emperors, and Lao Zhu was

It's really not taboo. The more military power his prince has, the better.

"That child Ying'er, in a few days we will make him the King of the Four Seas!" Lao Zhu laughed and said to Zhu Biao, "We can see that our great-grandson is holding back his energy and wants to do it.

Something."

Zhu Biao also joked, "The King of the Four Seas should not give it to Ying'er, so that everyone in the court will not think too much about it. Give it to Yunwen, and let him help Ying'er and fight against his brother Hu."

Throughout the dynasties, many emperors in their prime were very taboo about the Eastern Palace having too much contact with ministers, and they were even more afraid of the prince holding military power. But it was different here with Lao Zhu. The Prince's Eastern Palace team had many military men, especially those who trained in key areas.

Jade is so Mesozoic.

This can be regarded as an example. Although Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, has not been exposed to many martial arts and military generals, the emperor and the prince turned a blind eye to his attempts to cultivate his own military team.

Just one eye, a bit happy to see the results.

Zhu Xiongying, who was very excited, took a prepared memorial and rushed to Wuying Hall, "Grandpa Huang, let's see if my grandson is doing well."

Zhu Biao put down his brush and said angrily, "I was still polite when I was a child, but why do I become less polite as I grow older?"

"Of course I don't have to pretend in front of Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Xiongying said confidently, "But outside, who wouldn't say that the grandson of the Emperor is gentle, refined and generous, and has a bit of the prince's demeanor."

Zhu Biao was angry and funny. He knocked on the desk and said, "I am not like you. Anyone with a little knowledge of the city can see that you are just a monkey. If you really want to be refined, read more saints' works and cultivate your moral integrity."

Maintain righteousness."

"Father, I am your biological son!" Zhu Xiongying slumped his shoulders and said without any sign of weakness, "I remember a few days ago, I taught Yunwen and Yunxi how to read, but you said in private that I was not allowed to learn more.

Confucianism."

Zhu Biao shook his head and emphasized again, "I don't want you to study Confucianism more, or become a sour Confucian or a rotten Confucian. You are different from Yunwen and Yunxi. They can study with great Confucians and famous officials, and become

Just be a wise king. You are the emperor's grandson, and the Ming Dynasty should be in your hands from now on."

Zhu Xiongying felt even more helpless and a little depressed, "I went back and took off Ru Jin's Feiyu suit, and she kept making noises in my ears all day long!"

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao also laughed. They were used to the older Zhu Xiongying often saying "bastard things" in front of them. In fact, they didn't know that this was the emperor's grandson trying to make them happy.

As for the emperor's grandson studying Confucianism, in fact, as the emperor, there are some things that he really has no solution for, and sometimes he needs to set an example.

When Lao Zhu Yijie came to the throne, he needed to express some of his attitudes. Giving preferential treatment to scholars, princes and grandsons studying Confucianism was also a signal to the people of the world.

Even though Lao Zhu did not allow the prince and grandson to study too deeply in Confucianism in private, it did not prevent him from showing to the public that the prince and grandson were familiar with Confucian classics and were kind and generous. After all, this is the Heavenly Family, and many people are watching.

Lao Zhu looked through the items and asked, "What's so special about these goods?"

"My grandson sent someone to find an old man from the Shipping Department of the former Yuan Dynasty. They are all goods that Japanese people like and can be sold at high prices." Zhu Xiongying immediately said, "In addition to these merchants, there are also officials from the Shipping Department of the former Yuan Dynasty.

Sun Chen sent people to ask them one by one."

Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "You may not know that although our ship is big, on the rivers and oceans, a wave can capsize the ship."

"Of course my grandson knows that he sent for the guide from the Qianyuan Dynasty, not to mention that we have a lot of sailors from the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Xiongying immediately said excitedly, "Grandfather, our Ming Dynasty soldiers chased them to Ryukyu, where is

It’s close to Japan.”

Zhu Biao also put down the memorial at this time. Like Lao Zhu, he listened carefully to some of Zhu Xiongying's explanations and some of Zhu Xiongying's plans and prepared.

Ask some questions from time to time to examine Zhu Xiongying's preparations to see if Zhu Xiongying really understands this matter, or if he wants to see if Zhu Xiongying has been deceived by his subordinates.

Lao Zhu was very happy because his grandson had obviously done in-depth research on reopening the shipping company.

Not only did they send people to find some materials from the Yuan and Song Dynasties, they also sent people to find some shipping officials, guides, merchants, etc. from the Yuan Dynasty. They compared and confirmed one by one. The theoretical work can be said to be

Quite rich and careful.

Therefore, selling goods to Japan seems to be really profitable, and it is extremely profitable.

What kind of items should be prepared, where should be traded with whom, and what price should be paid. Taisun has recorded them one by one. Even if there are slight discrepancies, it doesn't matter. After all, we are no longer Qianyuan.

How to sail, what kind of risks you may encounter at sea, or loss of ships, cargo, etc. Zhu Xiongying also listed these potential risks one by one.

There are certain risks for sure, but it seems that the profits may be higher, so it is certainly worth being tempted.

What's more, from Lao Zhu's point of view, he doesn't necessarily need his grandson to earn much money for the royal treasury. What he mainly wants to see is his grandson's performance in this matter.

Putting down the memorial with a smile, Lao Zhu said, "Ying'er, if we open a shipping department, the Japanese pirates along the coast will inevitably reappear. Zhang Shicheng, the remnant of Chen Youliang, will also make trouble."

"Grandpa Huang, we can ignore those remnants for now. I have been in the Ming Dynasty for 20 years, and those people are either old or dead. How many people can there be?!" Zhu Xiongying immediately replied, "Besides, we can't stop eating because of choking.

My grandson wants to seek Taoist orders and patrol the southeastern coastal defenses."

Lao Zhu immediately interrupted and said, "In two years, you can start to work on your shipping department. In two years, I will let Tang and that old guy accompany you to patrol the coastal defense. By then, I will not be able to use you for the Ming Dynasty's water and sea transportation.

Come take over."

Zhu Biao smiled and said to Zhu Xiongying, "As my father, I have to prepare for the Northern Expedition and move the capital, but I don't have time to fight Japanese pirates with you. Whether this shipping company can really reopen depends on your ability."

Zhu Xiongying was so happy that he immediately got down and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. May your Majesty live forever! I thank you, my father. Long live my father!"

Lao Zhu smiled and gently raised his foot and kicked Zhu Xiongying down, "If we don't abdicate, we won't let you become the prince! Day by day, you are hoping that I will die soon, right?"

"That's not possible. We have agreed that when the time comes, my grandson will accompany Grandpa Huang on his tour of the world!" Zhu Xiongying got up quickly, walked up to Lao Zhu and said, "When the time comes, our father will be in charge of the government, and the Supreme Emperor will

We will tour the world with the crown prince. We will go to Mount Tai to enshrine the throne, and finally we will go to our hometown in Fengyang."

Lao Zhu pointed at Zhu Xiongying and said with a smile, "Well, if we abdicate one day, if you don't accompany us to tour the world, let's see how we deal with you!"
