First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Therefore, Chang Mao is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, and the relationship is close enough and the status is high enough. Zhu Biao took a sip from the teacup with a smile, and when Chang Luohua vented his emotions, he will invite Princess Lan to come in tomorrow to talk about the situation. It will get better.

During the conversation, the dishes for dinner had already been brought to the side hall, and Liu Jin, who had returned, arranged for the table to be laid out, and since it was a family banquet, they did not arrange it separately.

When Liu Jin came to invite him, Chang Mao breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to get up. Chang Luohua had just passed him, and the three of them went to the side hall to sit down. A little, but not too much.

So I just drank a bowl of black chicken soup, and Zhu Biao Changmao was really hungry. The two of them used to eat at the same table when they were dealing with relocation matters in Fengyang, so they were not restrained and had a good time eating.

During the meeting, we chatted and laughed. Chang Mao was about the same age as Zhu Biao. He had just made a marriage contract this year. His unmarried wife was the eldest daughter of Song Guogong Feng Sheng. Speaking of which, she was a matchmaker made by Empress Ma. When Chun returns to Beijing next year, this marriage should be done.

Zhu Biao reckoned that there was still old Zhu's plan in it. Feng Sheng had a special status, and it was even more special because he had no children. In addition, he still held the position of Prince You Zhan, and he was very close to Xu Da. , there is a lot to say here.

Chang Luohua frowned when talking about this matter: I've met that young lady of Feng's family before. She looks pretty good, but she has a bad personality. Song Guogong has no children under his knees, and he is really spoiled by his two daughters.

Chang Mao was still burying his head in his meal and said disapprovingly: If you are spoiled, you should be more spoiled. At worst, let her come to you to listen to training every day after passing through the door. There will always be times when she is honest.

Chang Luohua said helplessly: There is a mother at home, not to mention that there is no reason for a married sister to discipline her sister-in-law.

How long have I been trained by you here, and I'm not bad for her.

Zhu Biao was quite surprised: I think Feng Cheng is good. Although he deliberately hides his clumsiness, he has a well-founded advance and retreat. Isn't it all brought out by Song Guogong?

Chang Luohua shook his head and said, Raising a daughter is always different from raising a son.

Chang Mao nodded approvingly, although he knew that he was the most important thing in the family, but it was a heavy burden. The strict education in all aspects, I am afraid that he will be incompetent and lead the family astray in the future.

But the daughter's family is different, like a pampered guest temporarily living in the mansion, being supported by prosperity and wealth, just to let her remember the goodness of her mother's family, so that after the marriage in the future, the relationship between the two families can be smoothly shortened, otherwise it will send a hateful person daughter, that is not marriage but enmity.

After talking and laughing, dinner was over, and Chang Luohua was tired after talking so much, so Chang Mao took the opportunity to leave. Zhu Biao told Liu Jin who was beside him: Didn't Shangfu Bureau send you a few days ago? Here are some cloaks, let's pick one out for the prince to wear in the cold autumn night.

Liu Jin agreed, and Chang Mao was also very happy, but after all, he still remembered the rules and refused on the face. Chang Luohua also felt that it was not suitable. The clothes specially made by the Shangfu Bureau for the prince must be dragon and embroidered phoenix patterns. Your servant Dressed a little out of order.

Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously, and after a while, Liu Jin brought a black dragon and cirrus cloud cloak, which was exquisitely woven. Although Chang Mao's ability was average, his appearance was still outstanding. He was young and heroic, and with this luxurious and solemn cloak, The momentum is different.

After Chang Mao bid farewell to the couple happily, he went out of the palace under the leadership of Liu Jin. Although Chang Luohua was happy to see it, he still wanted to tell him to put it away after returning home, and not to wear it to show off and cause trouble.

Seeing him walking away, Zhu Biao comforted him happily: It's okay, he hasn't left the palace so late, and his mother-in-law must be waiting, and she will put away the cloak when she sees it, so that he won't be allowed to wear it to show off.

Chang Luohua also reacted when he heard the words and said with a smile: Master, I have already planned it, and I want to make him happy for nothing.

Zhu Biao looked at the bright lights outside and said: Chang Mao's character is still a bit out of character, let's see if he can improve after getting married next year. Lost.

Chang Luohua knew that her husband was sincere and sincere about planning for her mother's family. She leaned in his arms with attachment, her mind calmed down, and the inexplicable palpitations and fears she had felt in the past few days disappeared.

Zhu Biao hugged her with a smile. When it comes to soothing people's hearts, it is his strong point. The so-called Qi family governing the country and the world can't be coaxed by a woman, so what else can he say.

It is true that with Zhu Biao's status and status, he can not care about these things, and he can reprimand Chang Luohua, Chang Mao, and even Chang Yuchun at will, but what's the point? He doesn't have any mental illness, and he has to get psychological pleasure by bullying his wife's natal family.

It's nothing more than wasting time and pretending to make everyone happy, so why not do it? Zhu Biao also wanted to see Yan Xiaoyan's wife when he returned to the East Palace for a rest after a busy day, instead of a crown princess who looked like a wooden and stone Buddha statue.

Zhu Biao lightly stroked Chang Luohua's stomach and said softly: I'm tired of talking so much just now, go back and rest, I'll be watching the memorial for a while and then go.

Well, the concubine has resigned, don't see it too late, Your Highness.

Zhu Biao looked at Chang Luohua with his hands behind his back and walked out of the hall surrounded by court ladies. Chang Mao was about to leave for the north tomorrow. Chang Yuchun, who had been away from the capital for a long time, would naturally ask about his daughter's condition. After this, he could feel at ease .

Just now Zhu Biao read the memorials sent by his father, and two of them were Chang Yuchun's request to return to the capital. Judging by his words and expressions, it may not be the first time. Chang Yuchun was nervous.

Otherwise, the majestic border commander would not be so gaffe, and when the war is imminent, he frequently played up the hope that the imperial court would send Xu Da and Feng Sheng to take his place or simply let Li Wenzhong take over the northern frontier army.

Of course, it is more likely that he is just expressing his position to the royal family, hoping to make Chang Luohua more valued. After all, after getting married, Zhu Biaojiu has been running around outside, and he has been away from Beijing for a long time. Worrying.

Now nearly half of the Ming Dynasty's troops are gathered in the hands of Chang Yuchun. Although there are checks and balances, but with the communication speed of this era, if there is an accident, there is no time to communicate and resolve it.

Therefore, it is necessary to appease Chang Yuchun, not to mention that he sent Xu Yungong, Li Qi and others to the north to thoroughly investigate the case. unaffected by...

Zhu Biao exhaled, turned around and sat back on the throne in the main hall, and took out a stack of letters from the shadow box under the desk. The secret letter in the palace.

He has a lot of arrangements that he doesn't want others to know, so he has to bypass the normal channels to avoid delays caused by leaks of the plans. It's not that he deliberately wants to hide it from Lao Zhu.

That's why he added Chen Youzong. The general secretary is the central agency for checking internal and external memorials and appeal documents, and it is also within the scope of responsibility to deal with some secret letters.

The so-called people leave their names and geese leave their voices. As long as Lao Zhu is willing to know the secret letters that have passed through the Tongzheng Envoy, even if he can't know the content, he can still know the origin of the letter and where it was sent in the end.

This is also the tacit understanding between the father and son. Old Zhu would ask directly if he wanted to know the content. It's in his own hands, that's safer.

Although it's a bit troublesome, Zhu Biao thinks it's still very necessary. Relationships need to be maintained. Whether it's between father and son, if there is a secret, it's easy to have estrangement, and estrangement is the beginning of all conflicts.

Zhu Biao casually opened the secret letters sent over the past two days, and they belonged to Mu Ying and Lan Yu first. The two of them were ordered by Zhu Biao to hunt down bandits and water bandits occupying the main roads of various state capitals, as well as bull ghosts and evil spirits in some places. , especially those sacrificed to living people.

Bandits and water bandits needless to say, there are countless big and small, ranging from seven or eight people to hundreds of people, but that's it, no matter how large the scale is, they have long been wiped out as mass rebels, and a team of thousands of people It is not at all that you can get enough by robbing and asking for money.

Most of them are mobs who make a living by bullying single people or small-scale caravans, and most of them will spend money and avoid disasters, and they will go to compete with Lao Zhu when they really kill Wuji.

This is also a rare piece of good news after the founding of the country. Those who are capable and ambitious have basically died, and the rest are rotten fish and shrimps, which are not worth mentioning. The prosperity of the year will come.

Lan Yu's letter is very short, basically it is to report good news but not bad news, it only says how many bandits and water bandits he has wiped out, while Mu Ying's letter is all about various problems discovered during this trip, and some troubles caused by Lan Yu.

Zhu Biao looked it over carefully, and it was not as he expected. Many people were forced to go up the mountain due to the hardships of the people's livelihood and the collusion between officials and gentry. , Relying on the mountains and rivers to resist more...

It's all about arresting with nothing, Zhu Biao has long ordered that as long as there is no life in his hands and no one who has robbed a civilian girl by force, he will be sent to Fengyang as a land reclamation slave without capital punishment, and he will be exempted after five years of good behavior.

Those who raped civilian women in murder cases were all sent to the Ministry of Industry as slaves, and they built city walls and palaces to dredge rivers, and they were never released.

As a result, all the witches and gods who held human sacrifices to seek wealth and death were executed locally to attract the people to watch, and anyone who was ignorant and superstitious to stop them would be punished with fifty lashes.

Half a year has passed, Muying Lanyu and others swept the prefectural capital and Min County, beheaded countless bandits, water bandits and witches, and even Lanyu got on top, even killed some gentry who had colluded with them, and some court officials were killed by him I whipped dozens of them with my own hands, and even whipped to death the county magistrate who was over sixty years old a few days ago...
