Chapter five hundred and forty second dare not speak
From here we can also see how important heirs are in this era. No matter how honorable Zhu Biao was before, there were always people who were evil-minded, because even princes and nobles would inevitably have misfortunes, such as suddenly contracting an incurable disease.
If he dies, doesn't his prince have a chance?
But now the two grandsons are healthy and healthy, and the East Palace has hired two new talented people and one candidate. At the young age of the Crown Prince, it can be expected that the bloodline of the East Palace will continue to flourish, and other princes will have no chance.
Unless you betray your father and brother and rebel...
But even the women in the deep palace with long hair and short knowledge know that only someone who is crazy will support other princes. Even if their parents and brothers hear the news, they will immediately draw a clear line with them and go to the palace with their whole family to plead guilty.
Not only the concubines in the palace have thought it through, but the second, third and other older princes have also thought it through. When things have developed to this point, those useless expectations can be given up. The only way out for the future is to please your elder brother.
.
Zhu Biao chatted and laughed with his younger brothers for a while. They were all six or seven-year-old children, and they were eager to please him. They were naturally easy to coax. The children of the Tian family were always very precocious. They knew this from the time they were sensible.
What should you do when?
It sounds a bit pitiful, but it doesn't matter. Who in this world can really have everything going as they wish? It is better to be born in heaven and live in peace and contentment than to be born among the people who suffer from hunger and cold. The so-called drought, death by drought, and death by waterlogging, all have their own sufferings.
Zhu Xi came back as he was talking. Naturally, the younger ones also wanted to join in the fun, but they were rejected mercilessly by the second child. The older children in their teens looked down on their seven or eight-year-old kid with a runny nose.
He's not the elder brother, so he won't spoil them.
After chattering for a while, the third child said: "I will bring you a portion of the pot dishes soon, but brothers have to drink together, so you little ones don't get in the way. We'll wait until when you can drink."
Zhu Biao stood up, rubbed Lao Liu's head and asked Zhu Ju, the fifth lao beside him: "When Lao Wu grows up, why don't you go drinking with your brothers?"
The second and third children did not reject the fifth child. Firstly, the fifth child was not too young. Secondly, after all, he was the younger brother of the fourth child. The three of them played together every day, so naturally they had to give Zhu Di some face.
Zhu Rui replied respectfully: "I am too drunk, so I better not disturb the royal brothers' enjoyment. Besides, these young ones also need someone to watch them, so as not to cause trouble and make the emperor angry."
The reason was pretty good, and Zhu Biao knew that Zhu Tie had always been introverted, so he didn't embarrass him any more. He waved his hand and led his third brother out of Lao Liu's dormitory under the respectful greetings of a group of young princes...
"Mmm, it smells so good!"
“Hey, it would be great if I could eat like this every day (′▽｀)”
Under the auspices of Empress Ma, the palace has always been frugal. Even the princes do not want to enjoy spicy food every meal. It is undoubtedly a rare treat to have a hot pot with meat and vegetables on a snowy day.
They raised their glasses together and took a sip, and then talked about the war situation in the north. The second and fourth elders sounded yearning in their voices, while the third elder was different from the past. It seemed that he was content to enjoy himself in Beijing.
Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously. Whether his brothers were eager to make achievements or settle for pleasure, in the end, it was the right path, which was better than being stupid and making mistakes.
Otherwise, just like Liu Chun back then, killing is not a matter of not killing, nor is it very troublesome. Even though his father comes forward now, there are few examples of tigers poisoning their children in any dynasty, and Zhu Biao doesn't want his father to do it.
The emperor bears this pain and infamy.
While drinking, I thought about finding an opportunity to regulate the gentlemen who are responsible for teaching the princes. As the saying goes, a strict teacher will produce a good disciple, and a stick will produce a filial son. It is better to exercise more discipline than to indulge a naughty child. At the very least, you must cultivate empathy and compassion, otherwise
These noble princes may cause some trouble in the future.
Speaking of which, today’s top children are the fifth and sixth children. They are all naturally respectful and eager to learn. This is good. It is better than the second and third children who are bad role models...
After a comfortable dinner, the four brothers had their bellies bulging and their faces flushed. Zhu Biao, smelling of alcohol, did not go to see his son, but settled at Chen Yunqing's place.
In fact, it’s quite troublesome. Zhu Biao used to be able to sleep on his own, but now they are new to the palace, and it’s hard to be idle emotionally and rationally. He rested in Li Yan or Wang Rui’s room a few days ago, and he couldn’t be comforted in the past two days.
Let’s talk about Chen Yunqing.
After all, his father, Chen Youzong, the political envoy, was his direct confidant and his connection with the Jiangnan family. He sent his legitimate daughter to the East Palace, but in the end, he only appointed one of his attendants.
So we can only make up for it in other ways. After all, they are both princesses. It would be inappropriate to be named talents together. This is also Chen Youzong's initiative. Zhu Biao has to express it...
Early the next morning, Zhu Biao opened his eyes and saw a beautiful face that was sleeping soundly. It was still a little immature but the color was very good. She was indeed a girl raised in the Jiangnan water town.
I stood up gently and rubbed my waist. I felt that my kidneys were empty. I couldn't help but start to reflect on myself. In recent days, the official work was not heavy as the New Year was approaching, but I ended up being a little indulgent.
He got up and left the inner hall, washed and changed clothes under the service of the palace ladies, and then returned to Chengqian Hall to have breakfast with Chang Luohua. It was a really depraved life.
Since there was no morning court today, Zhu Biao went to the Wenhua Hall after finishing his meal and went to the Wenhua Hall for a while. He had just asked Liu Jin to go to the Wuying Hall to inquire, but there was no new urgent report on the northern military situation.
While Zhu Biao was reading in the Wenhua Palace, Jiang Yu sent a letter from Nahachu, who was entrenched in Liaodong. It should be addressed to Lao Zhu, but Lao Zhu was definitely not interested in reading it, so he sent it again
In the hands of Zhu Biao.
When I opened the letter, I saw that the words inside were quite respectful. I greeted Lao Zhu's body as usual, and then made a lot of perfunctory remarks. He even didn't hesitate to take Yesudi'er out, but in the end he said that he would be taken away after the spring.
His legitimate son Chahan was sent to the capital to pay his respects.
Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, if Nahachu is determined, there is no need to send his legitimate son. As far as Zhu Biao knows, Nahachu still loves his eldest son who trusts him very much. The most elite heavy cavalry commander under his command is
Chahan.
It seems that Yesudier's intrusion into the Ming Dynasty this time did not bring confidence to the remaining remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty who were still waiting and watching. Naha Chu had already seen that the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty would never return to its peak, so naturally he had to make plans for his descendants.
Naha in Liaodong is like this. I don’t know what the King of Liang who is entrenched in Yunnan means. Zhu Biao’s eyes flashed. After the New Year, it is time to send envoys to the King of Liang and the Duan family in Dali. Can it be done?
It doesn't matter, it's mainly just for testing.
The terrain of Yunnan and Guizhou is rugged and the Yi seedlings are covered with many forests and miasma. The Ming Dynasty must pay a huge price if they want to win it. This is not to say how brave Liang Wang's army is, but the natural environment is dangerous. Tens of thousands of troops entered and thousands of them fell ill.
Not surprising at all.
If either the King of Liang or the Duan family of Dali can surrender, it will be great news. All the Ming Dynasty has to pay is a title, and it would be perfect to reduce the casualties of the soldiers with a mere title.
While Zhu Biao was thinking about it, Jiang Yu was still kneeling on the ground after sending the letter, unlike the usual silent retreat. Liu Jin winked at this, but Jiang Yu turned a blind eye.
Liu Jin took a deep look at him, and then dismissed all the maids and eunuchs serving in the palace. Jiang Yu was the right commander of the pro-military governor's palace. He had a special status, so he must have something to say.
Although the retreating footsteps of the palace maids and eunuchs were soft, Zhu Biao still noticed it. He came back from his thoughts and looked at Jiang Yu who was kneeling in the palace. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing, lowered his head and continued reading.
After half an hour, Zhu Biao said as if by accident: "Is there anything else important that needs to be reported?"
Jiang Wei kowtowed his head to the ground: "Your Highness, there have been a lot of rumors within the Imperial Guard's Mansion, which have had a great impact. Many brothers are in panic."
Zhu Biao continued to turn the pages of the book: "Oh? What kind of news can make the emperor's troops panic?"
"There are rumors that the pro-army captain's house has been doing something rampant for many years and has made people angry. It is a waste to eat and throw away. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered General Quan Xu to train the pro-army in Fengyang in order to replace the pro-army captain in the future.
Mansion, I will not dare to say anything else later..."
