First Prince of Ming Dynasty

By the way, when the concubine was talking with the empress earlier, the empress suddenly mentioned cousin Wenzheng, and told you to come over to talk when she was free tomorrow. I guess it was because of Tie Zhu's attack on the prince.

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to caress his left eyebrow. Tie Zhu is the only bloodline of his cousin Zhu Wenzheng. His wife has already died, and there is no other blood.

It should be. Unknowingly, Tie Zhu is eleven or twelve years old this year. He has reached the age when he can support the family. His father and emperor are too busy to take care of state affairs. Officials in the DPRK and China do not dare to break the taboo. That is to say, the mother can still help him. I'm worried.

Chang Luohua got up and poured a cup of tea and said, The empress mother is kind, but it is not a trivial matter to re-establish the Nanchang king's family. It is estimated that His Highness must come forward to do it.

Zhu Biao thought for a moment and shook his head and said: It is not acceptable to attack the prince of the king of Nanchang. It has to be changed anyway. Even in the end of the court discussion, it is not known that the prince of a duke is only allowed to attack.

Chang Luohua hesitated and said, But what my father said back then...

Tie Zhu was already three or four years old when Zhu Wenzheng, who was in the prime of his life, was deposed. Zhu Yuanzhang felt sorry for his nephew and grandson, fearing that he would be underestimated and humiliated. It is difficult, unrestrained and vicious, so as to make me worry, and when you grow up in the future, I will make you a noble, and you will not be dethroned by your father. You should cultivate virtue and practice, and cover the mistakes of the predecessors, and you will live up to my expectations.

Zhu Biao turned his head and patted the jade hands who were rubbing his shoulders, saying: Did the Crown Princess receive some gift from the Wang family to speak for his family like this.

Chang Luohua said with a smile: It's not worth the concubine to take a second look at Wang's belongings, but it's rare for the queen mother to ask the concubine to help with the conversation, so naturally she has to do her best.

Zhu Biao was in good spirits after drinking, and pulled the princess into his arms with all his strength. After Chang Luohua gave birth, he looked more charming, and his every move was full of nobility.

The maids and eunuchs serving in the hall hurriedly lowered their heads, staring at their feet, as if there were some gold, silver and jewels, and they were extremely focused.

Chang Luohua groaned coquettishly, but she was still happy to see their eyebrows and eyes. After all, they were young couples. It was the time when the love was sweet and sweet. Zhu Biao weighed it and said: It's a little heavy, but it's just right.

You all go down.

Soon there were only two people left in the hall. Chang Luohua's stiff body softened in an instant, and he bent his waist and squinted his eyes and lay in the arms of her husband.

Zhu Biao rubbed his princess with great interest: The cousin's name has always been a taboo, and the father was so angry that he didn't want to listen to it. Gradually, no one dared to mention it.

At this time, Chang Luohua was too lazy to care about his cousin Tie Zhu, but in order to maintain the current comfortable atmosphere, he had to continue to ask: Father is the most important thing about family affection. My cousin has passed away for so many years, why is father still here? Wohuo, did my cousin really intend to defect to Zhang Shicheng?

My cousin is handsome and talented, but his personality is a bit extreme. He is sometimes generous and sometimes narrow-minded. He is changeable. After the Battle of Hongdu, his cousin made great achievements, and his father asked him what reward he wanted. Brother replied, Uncle has become a great cause, why not be rich, first give relatives official titles and rewards, how can we convince the public!

Father is overjoyed. At that time, it was not only Hongdu's victory, but other places also had good news, and my cousin was already the governor of the governor's mansion. There were only a few people on it, including Xu Shuai. The high rank has caused dissatisfaction among many generals, and Hongdu's contribution is just a reinforcement.

The listener intends to say it but the unintentional. The cousin may just want to say something beautiful. I didn't expect that the father really didn't plan to reward him. Therefore, he was dissatisfied and used alcohol to make trouble. He openly betrayed his official position and even said to his subordinates that the father personally helped Anfeng. In fact, it was for the robber (King Xiaoming) to commit crimes, and also usurp the king of Wu because it is not in accordance with the etiquette...

The conversation between the couple became more and more off-topic, and they slowly moved from the chair to the bed. They danced all night, talking like a phoenix in their dreams. The next morning, Zhu Biao was content to get up and face the court, when Liu Jin reported from the outside: His Royal Highness , the oracle will not be opened in the morning today, and everyone will return to their duties.

knew.

Even though it was closed in the morning, Zhu Biao didn't plan to go back to sleep again, so he had to go to work after getting up, and he had to go to the mother's side.

After a while, Zhu Biao got dressed under the service of Chang Luohua. If he didn't have to go to court in the morning, he naturally didn't need to wear court clothes, and a simple ordinary dress would do.

The breakfast has been prepared, twice-cooked fried fresh fish, mutton crystal corners, fragrant rice, bean soup, and brewed tea. This is the breakfast for the prince and concubine.

Zhu Biao was half full. It was a bit early and it was not easy to visit the harem, so he went back and woke up his two sons, and played with each other for a long time. As the months grew older, the children were at their cutest. , it wouldn't be fun any bigger.

Half an hour later, the two children were already drowsy again. Zhu Biao handed them over to the distressed nanny who was on the verge of crying, and then led Liu Jin towards the harem.

Cleared the aisle in advance so as not to bump into any concubine in the harem, and arrived at Kunning Palace smoothly. Empress Ma was having breakfast, so it would not be too early when there was no need for morning breakfast.

My son pays homage to his mother.

Come here and sit down. Your father went to the court early in the morning and said that he was going to visit the Zhongshu Province and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Zhu Biao sat down obediently, and the maids on the side offered bowls and chopsticks. The breakfast at Empress Ma's side was simpler, and I'm afraid it was not as good as ordinary people's. Be strict with yourself and be lenient with others.

Zhu Biao, who was already half full, just played with the two big fat boys for a long time, and naturally became hungry again. After breakfast with his mother, he started to walk slowly around Kunning Palace.

Luohua has already told you, right? Tie Zhu is not young anymore. Recently, Mrs. Wang has often come to the palace to complain to me. I watched your cousin grow up. He also made meritorious deeds back then, so I just leave him here. Give such an heir, give him what is due.

Supporting his mother's hand, Zhu Biao lowered his head and replied: Yes, there is no morning court today, and I will go to see Tie Zhu in a while, and the matter of attacking the prince will be arranged as soon as possible.

Empress Ma nodded and said: The Wang family also said that if you don't ask for it, you can conquer Nanchang, but you just hope that you won't fall into the lintel.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao also felt that the Wang family had brains. Where is Nanchang? It is Hongdu of Yuzhang, the seat of Jiangxi province. And lead to the land of Ouyue.

It is connected to two lakes in the west, Guangdong and Guangxi in the south, Zhejiang and Fujian in the east, Jianghuai in the north, Jinghuai in the throat, and Wuyue in the wings. Such a victorious shape has always been a strategic place that must be contested by military strategists.

If Zhu Wenzheng hadn't caused that incident, and continued to make great contributions, he might have hoped to enjoy this treasured land for a generation or two, but in the end it would definitely be taken back by the imperial court, and the imperial court could not let this land be given to the vassal.

It is possible to change the name of the prince, but as for the specific fiefdom, even the princes such as the second and third princes have not made a decision. Although the father and emperor have already made a policy of building a screen for all the vassals, the specifics depend on individual ability.

Empress Ma thought for a while and said: That's fine, but not all the clan's children have the ability to rule the domain and keep the people safe. It's rare to keep wealth and honor, you two should discuss it.

yes.

My son also heard from Luo Hua that my mother has eaten less recently, but where is she feeling unwell? Even if you have nothing to do, you should call a few imperial physicians to take your pulse...

Zhu Biao walked around with his mother for two laps, then went back to the palace and chatted for a while before retiring and leaving. Although they were both in the palace, Zhu Biao had to deal with a lot of things every day, and the harem belonged to his father after all. In the harem, it is not easy for an elderly prince like him to come and go frequently.

It's rare to have free time today, so naturally I want to spend more time with my mother, and I can't let those two cubs take away my mother's favor, no one is a baby anymore.

As long as his parents are still alive, a person has a foundation in the world, and he will not be adrift and helpless. After all, he will have a place to return to, at least for him.

Zhu Biao never felt that he had a child to be connected to this world, but he found his anchorage around his mother who was full of eyes when he was young.
