Chapter five hundred and ninety-two current situation
It took the three brothers nearly half an hour to persuade the old prince to stop. This was also thanks to the hard work of the second and fourth brothers, or else Zhu Biao was really not very good at coaxing people.
Zhu Biao waved away the servant who was waiting in the hall and said: "My Zhu family has a weak foundation. Now the only one who can stand alone outside is my cousin. The title of king is not only to reward his merits, but also to stabilize the world. Uncle
Don't worry too much, sir."
Li Zhende's frown relaxed after hearing this: "I have also heard that King Kaiping is returning to Beijing. The military affairs in the north will be taken over by Wen Zhong, but the title of Duke is enough."
Zhu Biao explained: "The two kings of Kaiping in Zhongshan returned to Beijing to take charge, so the princes who are now staying in Beijing will have to go north and south to supervise military affairs. Although my brother's title is not low, his qualifications are still inferior to those of others. Unexpectedly
It's only because you don't show your respect and order that you have to go to many places to confer the title of king on your brother, so that you can justifiably succeed Chang Shuai."
Li Zhen sighed and said: "If it's a country, then the Li family should do everything they can. I'm just worried that Wen Zhongmao's talents will not match his power when he ascends to a high position, and he will not be able to smear His Majesty's face in the future."
Zhu Di then said: "My uncle is too worried. My cousin looks like a weak scholar, but in fact he has the advantages of the two kings of Zhongshan in Kaiping. He is as quiet as a virgin and as active as a stray rabbit. His vicious eyes and quick movements are amazing.
"
In fact, Li Zhen just said it before. He knows his son better than his father. How could he not know that his son has many abilities? It may not be possible to drive the Huru horses away from the grassland, but Liping Fan can guard the border and resist Mongolia.
"Then I have only one request. The prince of the Li family is finally loyal. He must not dare to inherit the throne and ignore it. Even the title of the Duke of the country should be reduced again. If the descendants are virtuous, why should they rely on the legacy of their predecessors."
Zhu Biao was silent for a moment and said: "My nephew promised his uncle that the king's title is his elder brother, but the title of Duke is what the Li family deserves. The founding father of the country should retire with the country."
Li Zhen nodded and looked north without saying a word. Seeing this, Zhu Chong quickly smiled and said: "My uncle is indeed a gentleman. If others had received this reward, I'm afraid they would have accepted it."
"Throughout one's life, a person should not change his position whether he is poor or humble, rich or noble. Once he is rich and noble, he forgets his poverty and low status. This is what a gentleman would not do. His Highness, the King of Jin, should do the same. A dignified prince and a prince who indulges in romance should not be worthy of the hardships faced by his father and brother?
………………
The three brothers said goodbye to Li Zhen and got into the carriage. Zhu Ping's face fell instantly: "I got a lesson for coaxing you, brother, don't bring me here next time."
Zhu Biao knocked him on the head: "Since uncle said so, I will definitely go to the palace to intercede for you tomorrow, but don't be ignorant."
Zhu Di shook his head and didn't bother to pay attention to him: "Brother, my cousin has not made great achievements recently. This sudden title of king may make some people dissatisfied."
Zhu Biao picked up a piece of candied fruit and said: "Just be canonized with Tiezhu, not to mention dissatisfaction. Chang Shuai will lead 50,000 border elites to enrich the capital camp when he comes back this time."
The soldiers in the Beijing camp had not seen blood in five years, so they naturally wanted to stimulate excitement. Of course, the gap of 50,000 people in the north would be filled immediately, but it was still unknown who would go north. Zhu Biao did not ask too much, expecting that he
The father has his own opinions.
Zhu Di endured it for a while but still couldn't hold it back: "Brother, the third brother has already left Beijing on business, and I also want to serve my father and help my eldest brother to share his worries."
Zhu Feng didn't react at all this time. He must have come to his senses. The brothers are all princes and princes. Except for the eldest brother, who has a transcendent status, no one is necessarily afraid of the other. He is the third and fourth son of the King of Jin and the King of Chu.
King Qi, it is enough to be able to farm with him for so long.
If we stop him any longer, I'm afraid there will be a gap between the brothers. Then the gains will outweigh the losses. After all, we will still have to watch and help each other from now on.
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di who looked sincere and said: "Do you want to go to the local area to inspect disaster relief like the third child, or do you want to be the counselor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office on military affairs?"
"Brother, I want to go to the frontier to open up and expand the territory for my Ming Dynasty!"
"So you want to go south. The land of Yunnan and Guizhou is not something ordinary people can go to. It is full of miasma and poisonous insects. Even if you have an imperial doctor accompanying you, there is a risk of death. You haven't gotten married yet and you should stay in the capital."
"Brother, I'm not afraid of this. I heard that Brother Mu Ying has arrived in Guizhou. As I go to Guizhou, I am far better than others in terms of appeasing the chieftains and motivating the soldiers."
"I will go back and discuss it with my father. For such a big matter, you must listen to your father's wishes."
Zhu Di's expression remained unchanged and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. As long as his eldest brother did not object, his father's side would not be able to object. If their brothers were not still young, they would have been thrown away by their father long ago.
At dusk, they drove back to the palace smoothly. Zhu Xi and Zhu Di were anxious to see how the eunuchs were doing. After all, their butts were not wiped clean and they were not able to do anything practical. Besides, they had been taking care of them for several months, and they really felt sorry for themselves.
crops.
Zhu Biao went straight back to the East Palace. As soon as he stepped into the main hall, he saw his wives and concubines coming to greet him. They were all delighted and surrounded him back to the palace.
Zhu Biao was actually a little puzzled as to why they got together for this non-festival occasion, but he didn't think much about it. After all, he didn't care what happened, and he was even happy to watch the excitement.
With more women comes more right and wrong. Zhu Biao's harem is not big, but it is not too small now. There are already eight serious and respected ones, and there will probably be a few more in the second half of the year. There is nothing we can do about it.
.
All parties need to be appeased. Marriage is the simplest and most effective way. It is better than anything else. Zhu Biao will not refuse anyone who comes, and it is not impossible for him to support him. At most, he hopes that his appearance will not be too bad. After all, everyone loves beauty.
There is.
Zhu Biao sat on the throne, the Crown Princess sat beside him, and the others sat according to their positions. The same was true for the monarchs, ministers and harems in the court, which is why there was a fight.
Chang Luohua spoke first: "After releasing Cai Mu, I asked someone to send three carts of tributes. I heard that they were all donated by Prince Kaiyuan. I kept some with the Empress, divided some among the concubines, and sent the rest."
Already."
Zhu Biao nodded lightly and said: "I remember that there is snow clam paste, sable skin and the like. You can take a look and share it."
Chang Luohua promised, and the women below were also delighted. Needless to say, sable fur was rare, but that's all. Goryeo paid tribute every year, and everyone had it, so they couldn't wear it.
Snow clam ointment is different. It nourishes the lungs, nourishes the yin, and beautifies the skin. Not many women don't like this. They have already had the qualifications to enter the palace, but it also means that it is easy for their appearance to be replaced by a new generation.
.
That is to say, Li Yan, Wang Rui and Yun Jin don't care too much. Li Yan is confident. As the legitimate daughter of Changsha King Li Shanchang, the Crown Prince Liangdi, there is no reason not to give her the things in the East Palace, unless she offends the Crown Prince.
He was disgusted or had a falling out with the princess.
Wang Rui has always been like this. Even Zhu Biao and Chang Luohua couldn't see through whether she was really calm and unmoved by external things, or whether she was holding back and having a big agenda.
Yun Jin is simple. She only cares about Zhu Biao and doesn't care about anything else. She has the character of "Sunny Day" when His Highness is well. She doesn't care about her own expenses. She only speaks for Nuan Yu at most.
Zhu Biao suddenly said: "Come here, go ask Dr. Zhang to come over."
Someone immediately trotted away outside as promised, and Li Yan asked eagerly: "I'm not feeling well, why don't you go back to your bedroom and lie down first."
Zhu Biao glanced at Li Yan with great interest. In fact, the two of them had not met for a few times before their marriage, but this woman indeed loved him very much, and this could not be hidden from him.
To be honest, most political marriages treat each other as if they were guests. Chen Yunqing and even Chang Luohua were like this when they first married. Only Li Yan showed fiery love from beginning to end.
Because of this, she is not very good with the other sisters and has always been a loner. This shows that she really loves her and wants to monopolize her. Otherwise, why would she be like this?
"I'm fine. I just asked the imperial doctor to come over and take my pulse as usual. You all happen to be here, so let's come together soon. Don't get cold in the winter and spring. We will go out for an outing together in a few days."
"Ah, can the concubines also go out for an outing with us?"
"Really, that's great!"
Nuanyu, who had been a little sleepy, suddenly became energetic. She took Yun Jin's hand across the stool and cheered. The others were also happy. They were not young enough to be happy to leave the palace for once.
But Zhu Biao is naturally not doing it for this trivial matter, but to confirm whether Wang Rui is really pregnant. Chahan has already arrived. If everything goes well, King Shen of Goryeo will soon die if he takes off his wife. By then, the Goryeo clan will have no choice.
of room.
In this situation, it is self-evident that the blood of the Ming royal family and the Goryeo royal family can play a role. Although Goryeo is small, changing dynasties is by no means a trivial matter. Zhu Biao wants to win over all the forces that can be winned over. There are no fixed allies, they are all pawns.
