"Okay, sister, don't worry, I will discipline her well, but in the end she will be able to figure it out herself."
Seeing that Pingzhu just nodded and continued to work, he said: "Sister, why don't you go and report to the Crown Princess? I'll just keep an eye on it from here."
"These are the books that the Crown Princess is looking at. Don't open the folded pages, and be careful with the leaves inside. Put them carefully in the little red mother-of-pearl box." Pingzhu told a little palace maid before turning around.
He looked at her and said, "Why would Li Liangdi go to see the Crown Prince at this time and disturb the Crown Princess?"
"That's what my sister said." There was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, but facing Pingzhu, whom the Crown Princess trusted the most, he had no choice but to walk away.
After she left, the palace maids who were packing their things exchanged excitedly with their eyes. They just wanted to get rid of Sister Pingzhu, and then put the things away. When the Crown Princess asked for them, Pingzhu didn't know where the things were, and she
But he knew it and showed his face.
As long as the Crown Princess values her, not to mention directly crossing Pingzhu, she can at least be a female official in charge of affairs in the palace. Not to mention her dignity, she will be able to find a good husband and family when she leaves the palace in the future.
After a while, Pingzhu winked at the new maid, asking her to pay more attention. Then he straightened his sleeves, clasped his hands in front of his lower abdomen, and walked into the bedroom with light steps.
Chang Luohua was currently teasing his two children with his nanny, and earnestly induced them to talk, but it was a pity that the two little brothers only knew how to happily bubble bubbles.
Pingzhu knelt down and bowed, then stood silently waiting. The Crown Princess had always been a sharp-sighted person, so she must have heard the sound of her coming in.
Sure enough, Chang Luohua asked directly without looking back: "Have you packed everything? Remember to bring more thick clothes for His Highness. It rains a lot in the south of the Yangtze River and there is a lot of moisture when traveling on boats."
"Everything is packed. Report to the Crown Princess. Just now news came from Jinshen Hall that Li Liangdi has passed."
Chang Luohua smiled nonchalantly. It would be strange if Li Yan didn't make a fuss, but according to her husband's character, since she was allowed to go on this trip as a couple only, he would never break the agreement.
Compared with this, it is more important to see more of their sons. It would be great if the father, emperor and mother could agree to let them travel, but they would never agree to take the two little ones with them.
Starting tomorrow, these two will be sent to Kunning Palace for foster care. Fortunately, they are both healthy. Although she is reluctant to let them go, she has nothing to worry about. The queen mother cannot be safer.
There is one more thing. According to her husband, it is best for the child to be weaned. She originally planned to keep an eye on it in person, but since she is going out, she might as well put it aside for the time being. I think it will be safe to eat for a few more months.
After all, the child is now mainly taken care of by the wet nurse, who is extremely dedicated. If the weaning is suddenly announced, they will be worried. This person's heart is unpredictable, so it is best to take care of themselves.
"After I leave the capital with His Highness the Crown Prince, the emperor and his grandson will have to rely more on you to take care of them. You must be considerate. I will be grateful when I come back. You will also be blessed when the emperor and grandson grow up."
The nannies quickly bowed and responded: "Thanks to the noble Lord, we are always rewarded with many favors. We should do our best to serve and take care of the two emperors and grandchildren. Please don't worry, the princess."
…………
Goryeo, Zhu Di exhaled a deep sigh of relief after inspecting all the ministries under his command. After all, he was in a foreign country, and it was only today that he finally felt at ease. A strong army and a strong horse were the foundation of his life.
Cui Tan followed him and whispered: "This group of elites in Liaodong are brave but difficult to control. They have caused several chaos in this place in just a few days. I don't know how to intimidate them?"
Zhu Di stopped his horse and watched dozens of pairs of shirtless men wrestling in the camp, surrounded by soldiers who were watching the excitement and shouting. The Mongolian Jurchen language was mixed together, and the minds of those who listened were swollen.
"Rewards come first, and threats come last. Today, kill a hundred sheep first, and give them to the warriors who win the wrestling. The rest will only have meat soup cakes to eat."
There are also many Mongolian soldiers under the command of the Ming army. Zhu Di saw many of them when he followed his eldest brother in the Northern Expedition and knew a little about them. To deal with them, whips alone are not enough. They have been serving under Naha for many years and are no longer the original herdsmen.
.
Cui Tan frowned slightly and said: "There are more than a hundred sheep, but the prince must know that since ancient times, we have not worried about scarcity but inequality. These people from Liaodong have meat to eat before they have made any achievements, but the Korean soldiers who have been fighting with you for so long are
No, but if there is going to be a big trouble, you should think twice."
"Any merit must be rewarded, and fault must be punished. It is the foundation of a general. If they take the initiative to contribute, it is a great achievement, and they must be rewarded. As for the officers and soldiers of Goryeo, to this day, my subordinates can do something without reward for meritorious service? The rewards of promotion, money, grain and land can be
Was there ever a shortage?”
"The ministers understand this truth, but the soldiers below don't pay attention to it. They only have room for a piece of meat in their eyes. If others eat it, they will make trouble if they don't."
"Wang Zhong!"
"The end will be here."
"Lead people to patrol. If anyone dares to lead people to cause trouble without any reason, kill him as a warning to others."
"promise."
Cui Tan sighed and said, "Then I will go down and make arrangements now, and pass your military orders to all the generals."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, brother."
Yes, although Zhu Di did not marry a wife, he has now taken the daughter of the Cui family in Tiewuan as his concubine, and he and Cui Tan are indeed related by marriage.
Words from your mouth?
After Cui Tan left, Zhu Di's eyes became colder. He originally thought that the Cui family would completely stand by him, but it turned out that they had other plans. They didn't mean to put all the eggs here with him.
Even the Cui family, who is so close to him, is like this, let alone the other families under his command. Therefore, if Goryeo's soldiers are to be used, they cannot be relied upon. Otherwise, if their interests conflict one day, his subordinates will instantly fall apart.
This elite sent by Naha was the best reins and riding whip. Now they were helpless. Naha was about to leave Liaodong, so he was not afraid of any changes.
With the reins and whip, no matter how wild the horse is, sooner or later it will be completely docile.
Zhu Di has become much darker and thinner, and his aura has also been reduced a lot, but his eyes have become brighter and brighter, and he has become more powerful. Anyone who looks at him can't help but be in awe.
Looking into the distance, although there are twists and turns on his side, there are external forces involved, and with the Ming Dynasty as his backer, the local forces are not a concern. However, Li Chenggui's body is getting bigger and bigger, but the actual control is probably
Much weaker.
The aristocratic families are the least trustworthy. As long as the benefits are sufficient, they will not hesitate to betray them. They can only control but not rely on. This is what his eldest brother told him before leaving.
Recruiting the bodyguards: "Tomorrow we will continue to kill cattle and sheep, but not just for them to eat. Each battalion of the entire army will have three rounds. If you win three people, you can eat and drink at will."
"Promise!" After accepting the promise, the guard did not leave in a hurry, but whispered: "Your Highness, there are not many cattle and sheep in the army, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat for a few days."
"There are no livestock in the army. Are there still no livestock in the villages and courtyards of the surrounding families? Zhao Er, remember that you were originally a bandit, right? Have you forgotten your housekeeping skills?"
The guard scratched his short beard and said with a smile: "Although I haven't done this kind of thing in seven or eight years, I still haven't forgotten it, it's just..."
"There is nothing but obeying orders."
"promise!"
Due to the continuous wars, the people of the surrounding Daofu counties fled, and those who did not escape became the domestic slaves of several noble families. The same was true for the land and livestock, which all belonged to several families and surnames.
The biggest ones behind these surnames are Li Chenggui or the families of generals under his command. Once Naha retreats, the Korean side will undoubtedly be the winner. The winner takes all, and those with military exploits will naturally take the first bite.
Li Ren left his family in the rear, so naturally they had to wait for the second bite.
What's interesting is that neither Li Chenggui nor he, as the commander-in-chief, only received some gold, silver, jewelry and dozens of beauties, but no land or anything like that. It's really ridiculous and greedy.
This also shows how ignorant these families are. They only have interests in their eyes, and they are so greedy that they are not even afraid of the master of weapons. It can only be said that hundreds of years of comfort have made them forget the truth they should know.
