I put down my pen and read a few more letters. They were all letters of greetings from Li Jin, Zhang Fan and others, and they asked about the health of him, the Crown Princess, and the two royal grandchildren. The relationship between the monarch and his ministers also needs to be maintained.
After Zhu Biao read it, he put it aside and did not plan to reply for the time being. They would write to them after they got the news from Beijing. It would not be too late to reply at that time. The Wei Guan case did not involve them, local officials working in the border areas.
Counting the days, there should be news coming from Goryeo and Japan. I wonder if it is because Jiang Zhen is not in Beijing, but the news delivered by the pro-military captain's palace is becoming less and less fast.
Zhu Biao casually reached out and knocked on the desk for a while, and a dull and steady knocking sound came out. Several servants who were waiting outside heard the sound and went inside to worship. After a while, His Highness quietly left without giving any instructions.
After a moment of recovery, Zhu Biao stood up and took out a volume of "Zizhi Tongjian" engraved by Yuyao officials from the bookshelf on the side of the hall. Zhu Biao had naturally read the entire volume of this book, but he would still have questions every time he reread it.
New harvest.
While reading quietly in the dead of night, after drinking three cups of tea from this book, Zhu Biao rubbed his slightly sore eyes, got up and went directly to Li Yan's place to rest.
I got up early the next morning and coaxed Li Yan for a few words, and then returned to the Chengqian Palace to have breakfast with my Crown Princess. Since I didn't have to go to the morning court and couldn't leave the East Palace yet, it was hard to have some leisure time.
But this leisure lasted until the end of the morning dynasty. Most of the officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital were waiting at the East Corner, hoping to enter the East Palace to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. Naturally, it was impossible for Zhu Biao to receive officials on such a large scale.
Yesterday, the emperor suspended the early morning ban from the East Palace. Today, the prince summoned all the civil and military officials. This spread has such a bad influence. People just follow the public. Some people have terrible intentions. Zhu Biao directly asked Fugui to reprimand him.
Dismissed them.
No matter what attitude he had to show, unless his father exempted him from the ban, Zhu Biao would not easily meet with any officials. If the situation was difficult, what else could he talk about? The majesty of the emperor was the majesty of the prince.
Zhu Biao still didn't know what happened in the early court, but he could probably guess that it was just that he couldn't stand the emperor's arbitrary behavior and wanted to use the prince as a banner and a tiger skin.
After visiting his two sons who had woken up, Zhu Biao visited Wang Rui and Nuan Yu, and then returned to the Wenhua Hall to rest and read. He also had lunch by himself.
In the afternoon, he began to continuously accept various soups and snacks from Li Yan, Chen Yunqing and others. Accepting the feeding well was also an important way to ease the conflicts between the concubines. As long as there was something delivered, Zhu Biao would take a few bites.
Where there are many women, there are bound to be disputes about right and wrong. It doesn’t matter why they married into the East Palace, but they know that the only man and support in this life is Zhu Biao. There must be a limit to pampering such things, such as the golden nanmu basin.
, there will always be people who can’t get it.
Don't worry about whether that thing is useful or not, and whether it is really needed. Others will be dissatisfied if they don't have their own. It's just human nature. Nowadays, it's just that there are not many people in the East Palace, and the Crown Princess's fairness prevents the contradiction from being revealed.
There is always a fight in life. If you don't fight for steamed buns, you still have to fight for your tone. Even if you don't dare to fight with the princess, why don't you dare to fight with others? Didn't Li Yan win favor?
In the afternoon, no one asked to see Zhu Biao, but more and more wives asked to see Chang Luohua. In the end, Chang Luohua only let the wife of Yan Donglai, the minister of Dali Temple, enter the East Palace to express his gratitude.
The Imperial Hospital is an institution that specializes in serving the royal family. Zhu Biao was a Japanese imperial physician and sent an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Yan Dong. It was a sign of his kindness and kindness. Naturally, the Yan family came to express their gratitude.
Chang Luohua was willing to meet Mrs. Yan at this time because he knew that his husband liked Yan Donglai and made him his minister, so he specifically wanted to inquire and care about the condition of the Dali Temple Minister in person.
Zhu Biao did not need to worry about this kind of thing. He cherished his rare free time. These days passed like this for several days. Although there were twists and turns in the government and the public both inside and outside the capital, they had no impact on Zhu Biao who was in the East Palace.
It wasn't until Chahan entered the palace that Zhu Biao woke up from the half-day leisure state. Chahan was not yet a subject of the Ming Dynasty, and this matter was related to the overall situation of the imperial court in Liaodong, so naturally he had to see it.
"The humble minister of Liaodong pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince and wishes His Highness a long life!"
Zhu Biao looked at Chahan who was bowing respectfully in the palace with a slightly dumbfounded look. It was true that Naha had intended to submit, but Chahan's words sealed the matter. Even Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel happy.
"Your Majesty, please rise. The family of princes and princes for generations does not need to be so humble. When someone comes, I will give you a seat."
Fugui led two tall eunuchs to move a seat, but Chahan did not get up: "I don't dare to be called the crown prince by His Highness. When my father took office in the previous dynasty, he only accepted the title of Prime Minister and Taiwei in vain. The so-called Kaiyuan King
These are all lies spread by the world and cannot be believed."
Zhu Biao nodded and said with a smile: "That's the case. It can be seen that there are restless people in Liaodong. Goryeo has repeatedly violated the border and has evil intentions. This is probably their fault."
Chahan raised his head and responded: "Your Highness is wise. The small barbarian country of Goryeo is not educated, and its people are as humble as the Japanese. Their hearts must be different!"
Seeing that Chahan still knelt down, Zhu Biao waved his hand to let the extra people go out, leaving only Fugui Fuduo to wait on him: "Now that the words have been said, I will not go around in circles, but there is a letter from the Taiwei."
Already?"
"A letter from home is on my body, and I would like to present it to His Highness for your inspection."
Fugui glanced at the prince, then walked to Chahan and took the letter. He took it back to the desk and took out the letter. After seeing that there was nothing wrong, he placed the letter in front of Zhu Biao.
There were not many words on the letter paper, and Zhu Biao read it quickly. The main idea was that Naha sincerely greeted Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao's body, and then mentioned the matter of his encounter and defeat with Lao Zhu in the past, and finally:
He hoped that the Ming Dynasty would accept his submission and grant him an official position, but he requested that he could continue to guard Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty.
After reading this, Zhu Biao's expression could change in any way, which made Chahan, who was kneeling below, feel his heart sink. He couldn't help complaining about his father, "You are watching the fire from the other side of Liaodong, but my life is in someone else's hands."
Then a loud head knocked to the ground: "Your Highness, atone for your sins!"
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment before speaking: "What crime does the prince have? Since King Kaiyuan has this intention, the court should be satisfied and do nothing wrong."
Chahan's body trembled. The expected bargaining did not happen. It was even more frightening that King Kaiyuan's words were accurate. Only those who are sincere in buying and selling will bargain. If you are not even prepared to pay back the price for such a big thing, then it is probably...
I have no intention of completing this deal.
Zhu Biao looked at Chahan, who had his mouth open but couldn't say anything, and his eyes gradually turned cold. It wasn't that he didn't know how to bargain, but that this matter was not subject to bargaining. Many things could be discussed, whether it was a marquis or a duke, or even a prince.
All the princes and princes discussed, but there was only one point that was not negotiable, and that was the matter of Naha's entry and exit from the capital.
The premise of all is that Naha surrenders the military power of Liaodong's 200,000 troops and enters Beijing to be sealed. Otherwise, Liaodong is only a nominal vassal. Ming Dynasty does not need nominal things now, only real territory.
.
"Your Majesty, please come back. I will ask the Holy One to confer the title of King Kaiyuan as the Right Chancellor of the Ming Dynasty. I will appoint Dr. Ronglu to help lead the military and political power in Liaodong to establish the government. I think I will be able to send imperial envoys to Liaodong soon to grant the title."
Official seal."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao stood up and walked to Chahan and asked curiously: "I have fulfilled King Kaiyuan's wish, why doesn't the prince express his gratitude?"
"Weichen dare not accept orders."
Zhu Biao picked up Chahan and pushed him gently, causing him to fall down on the seat that had just been moved. Seeing that he was about to get up as if his butt was burned, Zhu Biao directly stretched out his hand to hold him down: "I don't know if there is someone under King Kaiyuan's knees."
How many years?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, there are five brothers and seven sisters."
"The son is prosperous and prosperous. King Kaiyuan is a blessed man. I wonder if the prince also has this blessing."
Without waiting for Chahan to speak, Zhu Biao stared at his evasive eyes and said word by word: "The prince is not young anymore. He should plan for the welfare of his descendants. It must be understood that destiny is irreversible. In this world, only I can protect the prince's family."
Wealth and honor can protect the family of the prince and prince."
"I know, I know."
Chahan is not a very outstanding person. Zhu Biao could tell from where they met that he may have some ability in leading troops under the influence of his ears and eyes, but this person is by no means a determined person. He likes wealth and is extravagant. He is just an ordinary person.
