(Thank you for the monthly ticket for "jiushu to travel to the world"!)

(Yesterday, a fool named Daman2 came to the forum to scold me when he read pirated books. At first, he didn't want to pay attention to him, but he still made sense to read pirated books. He said that reading pirated books is for me to face, and the books I wrote are not as expensive as he needs money! Everyone has it, saying that the novel I wrote is not correct, I am the author, not your father! How to write a novel, you still have to worry about whether your three views are correct? If you want to have a good view, go to the news broadcast! It's really crazy!)

Zhu Hongsan took the boat for several days and was still quite tired. In addition, he had something to do, so he planned to go back to the palace to rest first.

"Dear concubines, go back if you have nothing to do. I am a little tired and need to take a break! Let's do it, Ruyan! You arrange for everyone to have a meal in your Yong'an Palace tonight and find all the princes in Beijing! Yes! Call Zhu Luo and Zhu Yu, too. I haven't seen them for a long time, and I miss you a little!"

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Zhu Ma was standing by the side and wanted to speak but stopped. She wanted to ask about Zhu Youlang's situation.

Zhu Hongsan saw Zhu's actions just right. Zhu Hongsan asked, "Princess, why is there something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to do!"

"It just so happens that you go to my imperial chariot. I want to go back to sleep. Come and accompany me!"

As soon as Zhu Hongsan said this, Ma Ruyan and Qian Yuting immediately had a jealous eyes. Unexpectedly, today he led the wolf into the house and made Zhu Moe take the lead.

Zhu Mai got on the imperial chariot and sat down and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, can this battle between Yunnan and Guizhou be the capture of King Gui?"

Zhu Mai Shin asked Zhu Hongsan what was going on. She patted Zhu Mai Shin's little hand and said, "I haven't gone to Yunnan. I have sent Li Chengdong there. But don't worry, beauty. I have told Li Chengdong to try my best to ensure the safety of King Gui. But beauty, you know, the battlefield changes so much, no one can guarantee anything!"

Zhu Hongsan said this and Zhu Ma couldn't do anything. He knew that his husband was cruel and ruthless, and probably King Gui's life would be lost.

Zhu Mai Chu thought of her life experience from King Gui, and couldn't help but lower her head and shed tears. Zhu Hongsan couldn't stand the woman crying the most, and quickly asked: "Why are you crying in a beauty? Haven't I guaranteed Zhu Youlang's safety?"

Zhu Mai shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I know that I had a false thought just now. I just remembered my father and mother back then! Is Your Majesty going to the Northern Expedition? Can you take me with me? I want to worship my father and mother's mausoleum! I also look for the whereabouts of several brothers!"

It turned out that he missed homesickness, and Zhu Hongsan was right. Zhu Mai was born in the palace and was abducted to Guangdong for more than ten years. It is normal for him to miss homesickness.

"Okay! I promise you that I will bring you with me during the Northern Expedition, but the whereabouts of your royal brother and several younger brothers are not easy to find. Now the war is in chaos, who knows where they are going!" Zhu Hongsan did not dare to say that Chongzhen's prince and two princes were killed by him, so he had to deceive Zhu Mai.

Zhu Mai stopped crying after hearing what the emperor said and began to serve Zhu Hongsan.

Just as Zhu Hongsan's wives and concubines were intriguing, at Tong Yangjia's mansion in Nanjing, King Zhu Huai of Chu was anxiously waiting for his advantage to come back.

King Zhu Huai of Chu thought that he had given birth to a grandson for his father, and his father should be very happy. But he did not show his happiness. He just gave him a name casually and was done. So Zhu Huai decided to come back from the dock to find his own good grandfather Tong Yangjia and ask him to come up with an idea how to compete for favor in front of his father.

Tong Yangjia came back from the dock in a large sedan chair in the eight-carrying sedan chair. As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw the vermilion prince sedan chair of the King of Chu, and he knew that the King of Chu was coming again.

At the same time, there was a green sedan chair carried by two people next to him. Who is this? Tong Yangjia was greatly damaged by Ma Jiyuan's strength two years ago. Now, no one except a few of his remaining confidants came to see him.

"Butler, whose sedan chair is that?"

"Master, it's the second master's sedan!"

Oh! It turned out that Tong Tuchang was here. After being removed from office, Tong Tuchang had been living in the capital. Tong Yangjia told him to act in a low-key manner. Now he has already sat in the most ordinary two-person sedan, so he should have gone to heart.

"Master, the King of Chu and the Second Master have arrived a long time ago, and they are all waiting in the study!"

Tong Yangjia nodded and went to the inner room to change his clothes before seeing the two of them in the study.

When Zhu Huai saw Tong Yangjia enter the house, he quickly stood up and said, "Grandpa, you are finally back! Come and help me!"

Tong Yangjia had already seen what was going on the dock. He knew that Zhu Huai was asking him to come up with an idea to compete for favor, so he did not answer him, but asked Tong Tuchang first: "Tuchang, why are you here?"

After all, Tong Tuchang was a governor and was still a little deeper. He asked in a low voice: "Uncle, is there anything wrong with the emperor coming back?"

"Oh? How do you know?"

"My nephew saw his uncle's face full of worry, and the King of Chu asked his uncle to help. My nephew probably had something to do with the emperor!"

Tong Yangjia was very pleased to hear his nephew say this. It seems that this nephew still has some vision.

"You are right, but I don't know what happened, the emperor's expression is a bit wrong!"

"Uncle, does the Jinyiwei have any information?"

"Not yet, the people who are following the emperor are from the East Factory. The Jinyiwei's intelligence has to be carried by land, which is not as fast as the water route. It is estimated that it will take several days to receive it!"

Zhu Huai reacted after hearing Tong Yangjia say this: "So that's it. No wonder the father was absent-minded when he named his son!"

Zhu Huai thought about it and asked again: "Grandpa, now that my father is back, can you teach me how to compete for the throne?"

Tong Yangjia was so angry when he saw such a fool grandson. Is the throne so easy to fight for? Just because you drink and play with women every day, you still want to compete for the throne? See how the prince and the King of Qin do it. One learns government affairs and the other is good at military affairs. What are you good at?

But Tong Yangjia couldn't say this in front of Zhu Huai, after all, he was not his grandson and had no blood relationship with him.

Tong Yangjia suppressed the anger in his heart and said earnestly: "Your Highness, the throne is not a contest, but a creation! If your Highness wants that position, drink less wine and play less women. Putting all your mind on knowledge is the right way!"

Zhu Huai is cruel. If someone in the mansion says that he is debauchery, he will definitely die well. But he dare not act rashly in front of Tong Yangjia. Although he was dissatisfied with Tong Yangjia, he still asked: "Grandpa, grandson knows what to do! But what should I do if my father doesn't like me? You saw it on the dock just now, what name was given to my son! Why did he give Zhu Hai's two sons such a good name?"

When Zhu Huai said this, he became more and more angry. He stood up and cursed: "That damn Zhu Hai, relying on his legitimate family, he dared to hit me on the butt. Finally, he came to win people's hearts! After I seized the throne, I must be the first to kill Zhu Hai! Then he is killing the Ma family!"

At this moment, a soft knock on the door sounded outside the door: "Dong! Damn!"

"Prince! Prince! He is an old slave!"

Zhu Huaizheng was so happy that he was interrupted that he was very annoyed and scolded: "What are you doing? Didn't I say that I don't bother me?"

"I know, but the imperial edict was sent from the palace just now. Tonight, the emperor will hold a family dinner in Yong'an Palace, requiring all the princes in Beijing to attend! I'm now..."

Before the old eunuch finished speaking, Zhu Huai had already opened the door and asked, "Is that so? Hurry up! Come back with me, I must be prepared for my life! I will also notify the princess to bring my son with me too!" After Zhu Huai said that, he did not say hello to Tong Yangjia. Tong Tuchang said hello and rushed out with the old eunuch.

When Tong Tuchang saw Zhu Huai like this, he sighed and said, "Uncle, the King of Chu and the Crown Prince are not a little bit worse than the King of Qin, and he is really not a good candidate!"

Tong Yangjia had no choice. He had already boarded the King of Chu's ship, and it was not easy to get off the ship. Even if the prince could let him go, the Ma family would not let him go.

"Uncle, isn't there any suitable candidate among the other princes of His Majesty?"

Zhu Hongsan now has seven sons, the adults are the crown prince Zhu Hai, the Qin king Zhu Jiang, and the Chu king Zhu Huai. In addition to these three, there is also the fourth son of the emperor Zhu Hao. He was originally born to Chen Zizhuang's niece, but later adopted by the deposed queen Zhu Hao and was six years old this year. There is also the fifth son of the emperor Zhu Yuan, who was born to Zhu Mai, who was just five years old this year. The sixth son of the emperor Zhu Huan and Zhu Youjia, who were five years old this year. The seventh son of the emperor Zhu Xun and Qian Yuting, who were just four years old this year.

Tong Yangjia thought about it for a few other princes, except for the three adults, and they all stood behind their own families. Needless to say, Chen Zizhuang and Qian Qianyi, one was the Guangdong Grand Aristocratic clan and the other was the Nanzhili Grand Aristocratic clan. Their respective strength was no less than that of Tong Yangjia. The other two were born to princesses and princesses in the previous dynasty. Their status was precious enough, but they could never become successors.

Zhu Hongsan's name is that the former Ming emperor is Wudao, and now he is the one who is used to do it, so in all the documents, the former Ming emperor except Zhu Yuanzhang was useless to demote him. If he chooses a successor with the blood of the former Ming royal family, Zhu Hongsan cannot accept it at all. Therefore, the sons of Zhu Mai and Zhu Youjia must have to be the Prince of Taiping.

Tong Yangjia thought for a long time and sighed and said, "Hey! This King of Chu has learned the cruelty and ruthlessness of His Majesty, but he forgot that His Majesty still has the same tolerance. But you, my uncle and nephew have no choice. Can you still get off the boat after you have already boarded the boat? We can only go to the dark with the King of Chu. He succeeded in our family and ascending to heaven, and if he failed, he would never be able to do anything!"

Tong Tuchang thought it was the same: "Uncle, if you want the King of Chu to take office, you can only squeeze out the Ma family. What good way does uncle have?"

"The Ma family is in great shape now, so I'll talk about this later! Is there anything you have to do today?"

"Uncle, will the emperor come back today and be on the Northern Expedition?"

"Yes! On the dock, the emperor has already explained that he will swear an oath to the Northern Expedition after the spring of March tomorrow!"

Tong Tuchang's eyes lit up when he heard the news and said, "Uncle, in this way, the northern provinces must need a large number of official positions. Can they be my nephew?"

Tong Tuchang has been at home for the past three years and has been maggots. Today, he heard that the emperor came to find his uncle when he came back and was about to take the opportunity to start again.

"Don't worry about this, there should be no problem! After all, the peace talks were decided by the emperor, and you just took the blame for the emperor. Now that the Northern Expedition is about to be launched, you should have resumed!"
