Another day later, Zhu Biao met with Monk Daoyan in the morning and talked with him in detail about the situation in Goryeo. He came to the same conclusion after studying the information about Goryeo.
If you want to achieve your goal, you have to use Monk Xin Meng. However, if things go well, it may take two years to lay a solid foundation. While triggering rebellion in the country, you can also recruit a group of suitable candidates.
Zhu Biao is not dissatisfied with this time, and it does not matter even in the next few years. After all, Liaodong has not been recovered yet, but it is always right to prepare early.
After the discussion, Zhu Biao asked Monk Dao Yan to see Jiang Side. It was none of his business how the two people talked. Zhu Biao got up and went to the examination room, where he and Song Lian ended the examination.
As for the subsequent judging and other matters, it has nothing to do with him. It has been many years since the imperial examination was held, and it has its own rigorous review process.
The scholars who had finished the scientific examination were as if they had been released from prison. They were exhausted physically and mentally and were ready to go back to rest.
On his way back to the East Palace, Zhu Biao met the three brothers of the Zhu family who had been waiting for a long time. The second brother still walked towards Zhu Biao with a smile, while the third and fourth brothers chatted aside.
The third time they came over, they were asking Zhu Biao what his plans were for tomorrow. Zhu Biao suddenly remembered that tomorrow was his second birthday, so he smiled and said, "Why, do you want me to make you a bowl of longevity noodles?"
Zhu Fang laughed. It warmed his heart that his eldest brother could remember his birthday. He followed Zhu Biao and said, "Actually, I want to invite eldest brother to have a meal with me at the Chongyi Building tomorrow night. I'd like my little brother to do it then."
Please invite Xu Yungong, Changmao and the others."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Zhu Xi had figured it out again. He was using his birthday to let Zhu Biao meet those noble children, so that both parties would have to accept his favor.
If Zhu Biao had not gone, Chang Mao, Xu Yungong and others might have given some gifts to Zhu Chong, but they would never have personally attended the prince's banquet to celebrate his birthday.
Since Zhu Biao was going to take them to Shanxi, it would be great to meet them. However, Zhu Biao couldn't invite them to the East Palace on a large scale for no reason. It would be bad if he only invited a few.
Zhu Biao patted Zhu Xi's shoulder and said, "Please book the Chongyi Building. It's rare to celebrate your birthday outside the palace, so let's just make it more lively."
Hearing this, Zhu Xi naturally agreed happily. Zhu Fan and Zhu Di admired their second brother in their hearts. It is you. Now that the matter is over, the three brothers of the Zhu family are too lazy to go to the East Palace.
They separated halfway.
Zhu Biao went back to the East Palace for dinner by himself. It was another busy day today and he didn't know what the imperial kitchen had done.
On the other road, the three brothers of the Zhu family were walking side by side, and the eunuchs behind them did not dare to get too close. Zhu Fan looked at his second brother and said, "The second brother is really beautiful in what he does. Not only is the eldest brother happy, but the nobles outside are also
I have to be grateful to you."
Zhu Ming said with a calm face: "It's not because of you, why did your little eunuch immediately go to the East Palace after we talked in the Royal Horse Prison last time?"
Zhu Fan smiled and said, "Where are you thinking, second brother? It's just that the younger brother has fallen in love with a palace maid, who happens to be next to Sister Yun Jin. Naturally, I have to ask the elder brother what he means."
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head: "Is it interesting?
The other two people stopped talking, which was meaningless, but what if they didn't? The coaxing elder brother was happy. They would still have the opportunity to do things in the future, otherwise it would be painful to be raised like pigs for the rest of their lives.
After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Biao had a meal, and then went around the inner palace in person. There were many rare treasures there, including calligraphy and paintings from previous dynasties. Zhu Biao chose a piece of painting called Nanyue Tu by the painting saint Wu Daozi.
》There is also a Hetian white jade tooth Zhang with dragon and phoenix patterns.
These two pieces are already extremely precious. They are both treasures that Zhu Biao brought back from Shangdu. In later generations, they will be treasures that cannot be measured by money, but to Zhu Biao now, they are nothing.
Ask Liu Jin to put it away and send it to him early tomorrow morning. At that time, Zhu Xiang should have dinner with his mother and queen, and Zhu Yuanzhang will most likely go. After all, Zhu Xiang is also his biological son, and he is already so old. After all, he must give them to their mother and son.
Somewhat decent.
It stands to reason that Queen Ma will also give gifts, but Zhu Biao is not worried. Although his mother is frugal, she has a lot of good things in her hands. Since the two of them got married, Zhu Yuanzhang will let Queen Ma pass by whenever he has good things.
, as long as she likes it, she will definitely leave it to her.
Speaking of this, Zhu Biao remembered his decent dagger. His father said he would play with it for a few days, but it turned out that he never came back. Zhu Biao didn't even know where he hid it.
When I returned to the East Palace, I saw Yun Jin giving a lecture. Nuanyu and his wife were leading a large group of palace maids and eunuchs who were all listening. When Zhu Biao walked in, they all turned around and saluted him.
Zhu Biao said no courtesy, then ignored them and walked directly towards the Wenhua Hall. He believed that Yun Jin was doing something. After a while, Yun Jin came in with a bowl of lotus seed soup.
Zhu Biao took a few sips and asked, "What were you talking about just now, but they were lazy?"
Yun Jin said softly: "Your Highness's wedding is coming soon. When the Crown Princess enters the East Palace, there will definitely be many dowries. When there are more people, there will inevitably be some friction. I will set some rules for them first."
Zhu Biao glanced at her and said, "But my mother asked you to do it."
Yun Jin bowed slightly and said nothing. Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "The Crown Princess must have dignity. This palace will not allow anyone to disrespect her, but the rules of the East Palace cannot be discarded. The person she comes to marry,
Except for the big girl who is close to you, the rest will be trained by you for a few days to establish the rules."
Yun Jin bowed and agreed. Although the Queen liked her, she still valued her daughter-in-law more, so she hoped that Yun Jin could take charge of the East Palace. The Crown Prince valued rules more. The Crown Princess could have dignity, but he was not ready to take over the East Palace.
Easy, everything in the East Palace must be decided by the prince.
Zhu Biao took another bite of the lotus seed soup. It felt very soft, glutinous and sweet. Chang Luohua was about to get married. To be honest, the closer Zhu Biao got to the wedding, the more irritable he became. He always felt like he was going to get into trouble.
He has no shortage of women, and having one more Crown Princess will not make any difference, but the Crown Princess is the mistress of the East Palace after all. In a way, she is on the same level as him, but she feels inexplicably that her power is being divided.
Already.
Zhu Biao suddenly felt that he was so ruthless. He would not let anyone separate him from the mere power of the East Palace, let alone the future. What if he had a son and gradually grew up?
Zhu Biao suddenly began to sincerely admire his father. Zhu Biao was now gradually accepting Zhu Yuanzhang's power, but instead of rejecting and suppressing him, he opened his mind and allowed him to take what he wanted.
Zhu Biao's face turned a little dark. He deeply doubted whether he could treat his son like this in the future and dedicate himself to him so generously.
There is no father or son in the heavenly family. This has been a truth since ancient times.
