On New Year's Day in the 24th year of Zhengzheng (1364), Zhu Yuanzhang was elected as King of Wu by hundreds of officials, and his eldest son Zhu Biao was made the crown prince.
Jianbai Guansi still used dragons and phoenixes to record the years, and issued orders in the name of "Emperor's Imperial Decree, King Wu's Order". Since Zhang Shicheng had already established himself as the King of Wu in the 23rd year of Zhengzheng, Zhang Shicheng was called Soochow in history, and Zhu Yuanzhang was called Xixi.
Wu.
In March of the 24th year of the Zheng Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once again personally conquered Wuchang. Chen Youliang's second son Chen Li had proclaimed himself emperor. Zhang Bi, the prime minister of Emperor Deshou Chen Li, came from Yuezhou to rescue him and temporarily stationed in Hongshan.
As a result, Chang Yuchun defeated and captured him, and tied him under the city to show the public. Zhang Bixian was a brave general, known as "Po Zhang" in the army, and he won a heavy responsibility.
After he was captured, the soldiers in the city panicked, and many wanted to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang sent Chen Youliang's old minister Luo Furen into the city to recruit Chen Li.
Chen Li then surrendered, and the Han regime fell. Chen Li entered the military gate and lay prone on the ground, not daring to raise his head. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Chen Li was young and weak, so he lifted him up, held his hand and said, "I will not punish you."
"
The property in the treasury was left to Chen Li's choosing, and he immediately returned to Yingtian and made Chen Li the Marquis of Guide.
He also named Chen Youliang's father, Chen Pucai, the Marquis of Cheng'en, his eldest brother Chen Youfu, the title of Gui Renbo, his second brother Chen Youzhi, the title of Huai'en Bo, and his fourth brother, Chen Youren, posthumously named him the King of Kangshan. He ordered relevant officials to build a temple to offer sacrifices, and consecrated his fifth brother, Chen Yougui.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had only been out for more than a month, was victorious and triumphant again. Unlike the last time, which required Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Yingtianfu officials arrived at the Wu Palace early and asked the Prince of Wu, Zhu Biao, to lead them to welcome the King of Wu in triumph.
This time, the civil servants all actively talked with Zhu Biao, expressing their loyalty in a subtle way.
Zhu Biao naturally maintains his aloof state and does not get close to anyone. Now is not the time for him to recruit wings.
After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao kept his smile and followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the celebration banquet in a well-behaved manner. He poured wine when asked and called him uncle when asked. He was very well-behaved.
I returned to the palace in the evening, helped Comrade Lao Zhu, who had drunk a little too much, back to his mother, Princess Wu, and then rubbed his shoulders and returned to his room.
"Slave, please see the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Biao saw that in addition to the four maids who usually served him, there was another person who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, who was kneeling on the ground with his head pressed tightly against the ground.
Zhu Biao immediately knew that this was the eunuch. Zhu Yuanzhang had become a prince, so naturally there would be eunuchs to serve him in the palace.
Ignoring him, he walked to the bed where a pretty girl with a sweet fragrance was lying. Zhu Biao walked up and touched her little face.
These are his future roommates and they cannot be let out. Of course, he is still young now, and his color is like a bone scraper. He wants to live a long life! So he still sleeps alone at night.
A graceful maid came up, gently untied the golden ring from behind his hair, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, you are hungry. My servant is heating up longan and lotus seed porridge, pork loin porridge, and some meatloaf.
If I am hungry, I will bring it out right now."
Zhu Biao nodded, stood up straight, and two maids who looked exactly the same came forward and took off his robe. If it was not dirty, they would use it to burn it with incense.
The one who warms the bed is called Nuanyu, this girl is born with a warm body, the more delicate one is called Yunjin, and the two twins are called Shuang'er.
Only now did Zhu Biao glance at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground. This kind of person must be tempered.
"Get up, what's your name?"
"My dearest son, I don't have a name. I'm just waiting for you to give me a name!"
"Well, let's call you Liu Jin from now on. I hope you will be cautious in doing things!"
"Yes, thanks to the prince for giving me the name, this slave will be called Liu Jin from now on!"
It doesn't matter what it is called, it's just that the position of personal eunuch is very important. He is basically responsible for the master's dirty work, so he has to be cautious.
Xiao Zhu chatted with Liu Jin while eating. If he was not satisfied, he would have to change to Liu Jin tomorrow.
After eating for a while, Zhu Biao lay down on the warm quilt. Yun Jin and Xiao Shuang'er were guarding the door. Liu Jin was new here, so naturally he was not qualified to keep vigil for the prince.
