As soon as Zhu Biao walked out of Kunning Palace, he was surrounded by several younger brothers. The girls beside him gritted their teeth silently.
The death stares of several princes scared away all the girls. The second son, Zhu Xiang, came up and said, "Brother, do you value that?"
Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to push his face away, "I'm not you, how can it be so easy to fall in love at first sight."
Last month, Zhu Xi fell in love with a little maid in her mother's palace. He hurriedly went to find his mother's wife to ask for someone, but he happened to meet Zhu Yuanzhang...
It can only be said that if Zhu Biao was not far from there, Zhu Xi might not be able to get out of bed today.
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Fan, the third child, teasing his brother. Zhu Biao ignored them and continued to look at the girls with different looks.
Some of them look like fathers and they can't bear to look at them, but those who look like mothers are fine.
After all, none of these generals' wives are ugly, and it's hard to say anything about them themselves.
Zhu Di was still following him, looking a little entangled in what he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.
Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Fourth, have you seen Uncle Xu's house?"
Zhu Di shook his head, "Not yet? It must be somewhere in the Imperial Garden."
Zhu Biao asked, "What's wrong? You don't seem satisfied?"
Zhu Di hesitated and said, "Shouldn't it be the eldest brother's?"
Zhu Biao patted his head, "No! It should be yours!"
Leaving Zhu Di confused, Zhu Biao walked forward, thinking that someone should call him.
Nuanyu followed His Highness closely, enduring the contemptuous and envious looks of those young ladies.
Soon someone came to invite him, and Zhu Biao followed him up and arrived at a pavilion with snacks and hot tea spread on a stone table.
The palace maid who was leading the way stepped aside to make way. Nuan Yu didn't know whether to follow or not, so she hesitated and followed.
Zhu Biao walked up to the pavilion and took a glance, and saw a girl of thirteen or fourteen standing aside with her head bowed respectfully.
When he saw Zhu Biao coming up, he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Chang Ruohua, has met His Royal Highness."
Zhu Biao smiled with satisfaction and asked, "Sit down, but have you been waiting for a long time?"
Chang Ruohua raised his face and smiled softly, "Wait for Your Highness, as long as it takes!"
Only then did Zhu Biao look at her face. She was neither fat nor thin, with delicate features, bright eyes, a dignified and elegant expression, and an arrogance between her eyebrows that made people feel that this person was very confident!
Zhu Biao smiled and asked, "Are you still satisfied?"
Chang Ruohua nodded seriously, then as if he thought of something, his eyes brightened and he said, "Very satisfied!"
Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed as he smiled, and he said seriously, "I'm very satisfied too!"
After saying that, Zhu Biao stood up, looked at her, and then left directly.
Chang Ruohua also stood up and bent his knees to salute the young man's back. The palace maids and Nuan Yu beside him were a little confused.
Zhu Biao was too lazy to see those women anymore, so he got up and returned to the East Palace.
After Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace, he never went out or met anyone.
But even in the East Palace, Zhu Biao could feel the turbulent atmosphere in the court.
In November of the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Biao got up early in the morning, put on his court clothes, took a look at the sky and went straight to Fengtian Palace.
When we arrived at the entrance of the main hall, the civil and military ministers were gathered there. Several people formed a circle and didn't know what they were talking about.
Seeing Zhu Biao arriving, they all hurriedly bowed and said, "I'll wait to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Biao humbly bowed his hands to the ministers and stood aside. When the civil servants saw that the prince actually came to attend the court meeting, they knew that something big was going on today!
The civil servants all exchanged glances for a few times and then waited for the emperor to go to court. The generals walked directly to Zhu Biao and looked at him directly: "Your Highness, is the emperor going to be knighted today? Can you give us a report?" Bottom!"
Zhu Biao didn't speak and just nodded slightly. Last night, Zhu Yuanzhang called him over and said a few words. Although he didn't know the specific title, today's title was true.
All of a sudden, everyone became happy and began to brag to Zhu Biao about his achievements. However, when it comes to merit, it is sometimes difficult to tell who has done more, and several people almost took action.
Not long after, the door of Fengtian Hall opened, and Zhu Biao led the civil and military officials into the hall. There was already a figure wearing a red dragon robe sitting on the emperor's throne nine steps above.
No one dared to look directly at the holy face. With neat movements, this group of the most powerful people in the world knelt down and worshiped. "I see you, Your Majesty. May my emperor be blessed and safe!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand with a smile on his face and said, "All my dear friends, please get back on your feet!"
After everyone stood up, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao and said, "Prince, come up and stand!"
Zhu Biao accepted the offer gracefully, and walked up slowly under the gaze of the civil and military officials. When he reached the sixth floor, there was a platform, and three floors above was the emperor's throne.
Zhu Biao stopped on the sixth floor, saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and stood sideways.
Zhu Yuanzhang began to ask all officials to report government affairs. Zhu Biao looked calm and looked straight ahead without making any unnecessary movements.
Zhu Biao's mood is actually a bit complicated. Although this is not the highest position in the world, it is definitely not a place where ministers can stand. If you stand here, you will be half a king. The difference between king and minister is only in these short six steps!
After a while, the government affairs were almost settled, and the entire court was quiet. Everyone was waiting for the emperor to mention that matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around silently, and then said, "Those who can stand here today are all brothers who have followed us in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood to conquer the world. They all know everything! We know what you are all waiting for!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and looked at the people who all bowed their heads in silence and said, "We also know that some people can't wait any longer. Some people even started drinking and talking nonsense! They said that when we, Old Zhu, become emperor, we will destroy the donkeys and cross the rivers and demolish the bridges!" He is spreading rumors and causing trouble, making people panic!"
Everyone knelt on the ground and screamed without daring!
"Everyone knows who we are talking about, but I will not hold you accountable. Your achievements will all be remembered in my heart! We are not people who can share adversity but not wealth!"
Zhu Yuanzhang held the jade belt around his waist with one hand and pointed at them with the other hand, "Today I want to show you whether I am a villain who crosses the river and burns down the bridge!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the throne and said, "All of you, get up! Biao'er, come and read this canonization edict!"
Zhu Biao agreed, and a eunuch held the imperial edict that had been prepared and handed it to the prince with respectful hands.
Zhu Biao looked solemn, held up the edict, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then raised it high in front of the ministers.
Zhu Biao slowly opened the imperial edict with his hands facing the ministers below, and read out the edict of canonization in a steady voice, "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhao said, "The left prime minister Xu Da entered Fengtian and granted him the title of King of Zhongshan, the founder of Fengtian and the military official who proclaimed his sincerity and proclaimed his power, with a salary of five thousand shi. hereditary! "
"The great general, Chang Yu Chun Jin, worships Heaven's Yi Yun and sincerely proclaims De Jingyuan, King Kaiping, who is a hero of Jingyuan. He is paid five thousand dan and is hereditary!"
Right Prime Minister Li Shanchang entered the founding state to assist the movement and push for honest and upright civil servants, the King of Changsha, with a salary of five thousand dan, hereditary! "
General Deng Yujin of the left conferred the title of Ninghe King on Fengtian Yiyun Tuocheng Xuande Jingyuan meritorious official, with a salary of four thousand dan, hereditary! "
The right general Tang He entered the founding of the country and assisted the movement and promoted the sincerity of Xuanli and the military minister King Dongou. He was paid four thousand stones and was hereditary! "
As Zhu Biao recited the sound, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other five people were already kneeling below. They were not happy now, but panic. How many people who founded the country and became kings since ancient times had a good ending?
Especially Li Shanchang, he thought he knew Zhu Yuanzhang better, but he never thought of this. He thought he could be crowned king after his death...
Li Shanchang declined, "I have meritorious service, but how can I dare to steal the throne? I beg your Majesty to show mercy!"
The same is true for Xu Da, "I dare not accept the order! Please take back the order!"
