On New Year's Day in the 24th year of Zhengzheng (1364), Zhu Yuanzhang was elected as King of Wu by hundreds of officials, and his eldest son Zhu Biao was made the crown prince.
Jianbai Guansi still used dragons and phoenixes to mark the years, and issued orders in the name of "Emperor's Imperial Decree, King Wu's Order". Since Zhang Shicheng had already established himself as the King of Wu in the 23rd year of Zhengzheng, Zhang Shicheng was called Soochow in history, and Zhu Yuanzhang was called Xixi. Wu.
In March of the 24th year of the Zheng Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once again personally conquered Wuchang. Chen Youliang's second son Chen Li had proclaimed himself emperor. Zhang Bi, the prime minister of Emperor Deshou Chen Li, came from Yuezhou to rescue him and temporarily stationed in Hongshan.
As a result, Chang Yuchun defeated and captured him, and tied him under the city for public display. Zhang Bixian was a brave general, known as "Po Zhang" in the army, and won important tasks.
After he was captured, the soldiers in the city panicked, and many wanted to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang sent Chen Youliang's old minister Luo Furen into the city to recruit Chen Li.
Chen Li surrendered and the Han regime fell. Chen Li entered the military gate and fell prone on the ground, not daring to raise his head. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Chen Li was young and weak, so he helped him up, held his hand and said, "I will not punish you."
The property in the treasury was left to Chen Li's choosing, and he immediately returned to Yingtian and made Chen Li the Marquis of Guide.
He also named Chen Youliang's father Chen Pucai the Marquis of Cheng'en, his eldest brother Chen Youfu as the Bo of Guiren, his second brother Chen Youzhi as the Bo of Huai'en, and his fourth brother Chen Youren as the King of Kangshan posthumously. He ordered relevant officials to build temples for sacrifices, and the fifth brother Chen Yougui was enshrined.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had only been on the expedition for more than a month, was victorious and triumphant again. Unlike the last time, which required Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Yingtianfu officials arrived at the Wu Palace early and asked the Prince of Wu, Zhu Biao, to lead them to welcome the King of Wu in triumph.
This time, the civil servants all actively talked with Zhu Biao, expressing their loyalty in a subtle way.
Zhu Biao naturally maintains his aloof state and does not get close to anyone. Now is not the time for him to recruit wings.
After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao kept his smile and followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the celebration banquet. He poured wine when asked and called him uncle when asked. He was so well-behaved.
He returned to the palace in the evening and helped Comrade Lao Zhu, who had drunk a little too much, back to his mother, Princess Wu, before rubbing his shoulders and returning to his room.
"Slave, please see the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Biao saw that in addition to the four maids who usually served him, there was another person who looked like twelve or thirteen years old. He was kneeling on the ground with his head pressed tightly to the ground.
Zhu Biao immediately knew that this was the eunuch. Zhu Yuanzhang had become a prince, so naturally there would be eunuchs to serve him in the palace.
Ignoring him, he walked to the bed where a pretty girl with a sweet fragrance was lying. Zhu Biao walked up and touched her little face.
These are the people he will live in in the future, and they cannot be let out. Of course, he is still young now, and his color is like a bone scraper. He really wants to live a long life! So I still sleep alone at night.
A graceful maid came up, gently untied the golden ring from his hair and asked softly, "Your Majesty, I am hungry. My servant is heating longan, lotus seed porridge, pork loin porridge and some meatloaf inside. If so, I'm hungry, my servant will bring it out right now."
Zhu Biao nodded. When he stood up straight, two maids who looked exactly the same came forward and took off his robe. If it was not dirty, they would use it to burn it with incense.
The one who warms the bed is called Nuanyu, this girl is born with a warm body, the more feminine one is called Yunjin, and the two twins are called Shuang'er.
Only now did Zhu Biao glance at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground. This kind of person must be tempered.
"Get up, what's your name?"
"Sir, I don't have a name, so I'm just waiting for you to give me a name!"
"Well, let's call you Liu Jin from now on. I hope you will be cautious in doing things!"
"Yes, thanks to the prince for giving me the name, my slave will be called Liu Jin from now on!"
It doesn't matter what it is called, it's just that the position of personal eunuch is very important. He is basically responsible for the master's dirty work, so he has to be cautious.
Xiao Zhu chatted with Liu Jin while eating. If he was not satisfied, he would have to change to Liu Jin tomorrow.
After eating for a while, Zhu Biao lay down on the warm quilt. Yun Jin and Xiao Shuang'er were guarding the door. Liu Jin was new here, so naturally he was not qualified to keep vigil for the prince.
