Zhu Biao got up and moved around in the palace for a while. After asking about the time, he stood in front of the desk and wrote while giving instructions: "You should leave the palace immediately and send this greeting card to Duke Cao's mansion. I will go to see the old Duke in an hour." "
"promise"
It was a bit hasty to go to pay homage an hour in advance, but after all, it was his own family, and Zhu Biao had actually visited the Li family in the Enqin Hou Mansion in the early years, so there was no need to be too polite.
After Fugui left, Zhu Biao sat back in his seat and looked at the empty hall in a daze. One after another, large and small matters were falling down like water drops. Sometimes it really made people want to escape.
After relaxing for a while, he said: "Go and invite King Jin and King Qi to come over. By the way, let them change into normal clothes first."
A eunuch serving in Wuying Hall accepted the promise and left. At this time, there was a call outside the door. The left minister of the Ministry of Rites asked to see His Royal Highness. Zhu Biao naturally wanted to meet him, and he probably guessed what was going on.
Soon, the Minister of Rites came into the palace to pay homage. Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to hold the money and said, "I love you, please excuse me. Please come and give me a seat for Minister Zhao."
"I would like to thank Your Highness."
After a few polite words, he got down to the topic. Minister Zhao said: "I was ordered to greet the Crown Prince of Kaiyuan. The Crown Prince bowed outside the city gate in the direction of the palace and thanked His Majesty, and then followed me with only two servants. I returned to the capital and stayed in the garden specially arranged by His Highness."
Zhu Biao smiled with satisfaction. Chahan's attitude was very gratifying. From him, we could also see the general attitude of his father. If Liaodong was successfully surrendered, it would be a matter of success.
To be honest, Naha had a good time to challenge. It was when Yesudier was preparing to join forces with Goryeo to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Now he still has the card of Goryeo Shen Wang Tuotuobuhua in his hand.
"The Crown Prince also presented five cartloads of tributes including snow clam paste, thousand-year-old wild ginseng king, century-old precious ginseng, top-quality sable skin, and Changbai Mountain sika deer antlers."
These things don't matter, Naha is entrenched in Liaodong and Ming Dynasty is all over the world. Goryeo also pays tribute to these things every year, but again, if you start to be polite, it shows your sincerity.
"Don't neglect your visit to the garden. If you have any needs, please meet them first. Your Majesty also knows what it means for Chahan to come here. If you can become my Ming Dynasty, you can avoid a big war and save many soldiers from casualties. I hope you will Waiting to do your best.”
Chen Shilang stood up and bowed: "Your Highness, please rest assured. I know that I have a heavy responsibility. I will never dare to mess up the important affairs of the country. How can I not think of failing to do my best!"
"Okay, I can rest assured that you are waiting for your work. The spring night has just begun and it is a little cold. When I leave, I will take some red radish charcoal with me to visit the garden. The imperial chef will also take the two of them with me."
"Your Majesty will burst into tears when hearing that His Highness is so kind to you. The return of Liaodong is increasingly expected. I would like to congratulate Your Highness and congratulate me on the great Ming Dynasty."
The Minister of Rites was very excited. Originally, they were a little worried that something would go wrong. After all, the situation in Liaodong was tense. If it was not done well, it would be impossible to let His Highness the Crown Prince take the responsibility. The fault of their Rites Ministry would definitely fall to them.
But now it seems that the other party is very sincere, which is promising. Although they will have to take the blame if something goes wrong, His Highness the Crown Prince cannot take credit from them when things happen.
Zhu Biao gave a few more instructions to the Minister of Rites and then left. At this time, two dog-like princes walked in swaggering. Zhu Fang asked directly and loudly: "Brother, I heard that the old dog's son of a bitch came out of Naha." Come on, brothers, why don’t you go give him a good start?"
Zhu Di said: "If it's not convenient for the eldest brother to come forward, it's enough for me and the second brother to go."
The smile on Zhu Biao's face faded and he asked indifferently: "Who told you that Chahan was coming, and who told you that I called you here to give him a blow?
Zhu Xiang's face hardened and he pointed to Zhu Di without hesitation: "The fourth brother said that we are doing a good job in farming, and the eldest brother will not call us for no reason."
Zhu Di glanced at his second brother with an expressionless expression. He will take leave tomorrow and let you plow the fields alone. The third brother will also leave. I will see you die from exhaustion alone.
"The news that Chahan is coming has spread throughout the palace two days ago. I thought that the elder brother called us here just because of this..."
Zhu Biao exhaled and felt a little tired: "If I want to beat Chahan, do I need you two? You really want us to go to war with Naha."
Zhu Fang chuckled and said: "That old dog in Naha is ungrateful. My father scolded him a lot when he told us about it. Now that he wants to join us, naturally he has to give them some color."
Zhu Biao seriously warned: "Although it was Naha who was ungrateful in what happened back then, in the end it was him who suffered the loss and lost the battle. Now that people want to lead the land of Liaodong and 200,000 soldiers and civilians to surrender, how can our Ming Dynasty not be so tolerant?" amount."
"No more talking about old dogs and puppies, and you are not allowed to ask those friends and friends to go to the park to cause trouble. Remember!"
The two of them responded reluctantly: "I know."
Zhu Biao shook his head and sighed. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that they were going to take them together to meet the old prince. Otherwise, these two people were not afraid of big troubles. They probably thought that they were venting their anger on their father's behalf. There would probably be no shortage of noble descendants. Think so.
After many years of conquering the east and the west, conquering the south and the north, the children of the Ming Dynasty have actually become arrogant. They have the ambition to be worthy of anyone in the world. What does it mean to leave Naha in Liaodong with only 200,000 soldiers and civilians?
It’s not like they haven’t fought before. Are they enemies? They are all achievements in promotion and nobility. How many rough guys who have not won the title of Marquis are gearing up and waiting for them.
If there is really a junior who wants to provoke Chahan, then it is probably inseparable from the instigation of this group of bastards. They don't care whether the military and finances of the imperial court are in dire straits.
Zhu Biao waved his hand for Fugui to come forward: "Go to the Military and Horse Division and ask Zhang Wei to lead people to take care of you outside the garden. No one is allowed to disturb you without reason."
Zhu Biao does not want to see any twists and turns now. The most important thing is to steadily bring Liaodong under control. If Liaodong is successfully annexed, it will not only increase the population of the land, but also strengthen the blockade of the grasslands and Goryeo, which will be of great benefit to the overall situation.
As for sending Zhang Wei, firstly, this was the responsibility of the Military and Horse Division, and secondly, although Zhang Wei was dull in qualifications, he always carried out Zhu Biao's orders and would not back down from anyone's interference.
Not to mention some noble sons, even some shameless princes can't get it in person. This is why Zhu Biao handed over such an important position to Zhang Wei.
Some positions in the imperial court are more important than ability, and some positions are more important than loyalty. This is the case with the Military and Horse Division in Beijing. It may seem like a lowly position, but being able to deploy troops at will in Beijing is a great deterrent.
Now the two of them were confused: "Brother, why did you ask us to come here? The fields need to be watered today, or we can't finish the work before evening. Father will see it and won't spare us."
Zhu Biao stood up and said: "Don't worry, my father doesn't have time to see you two today. Let a few eunuchs water the ground. You two accompany me to visit my uncle. You haven't been there for a while."
The two children are still in Jinshen Palace now, and they probably won't be able to return to the East Palace tonight. Old Zhu Nan has grandchildren to play with, so he will definitely take them back to Kunning Palace to make Empress Ma happy too.
Only then did the two brothers realize that it was good to have some free time. Watering the ground was not an easy task. The eldest brother had asked the eunuchs to help, so they had to take advantage of the opportunity to let them work more.
The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, which prompted their personal eunuch to give some harsh instructions. The eunuch naturally knew that His Highness not only asked them to water the ground, but also clearly asked them to do as much as they could.
Zhu Biao didn't say anything when he saw this. These two had been working really hard recently. They were both fair and handsome princes and princes at first, but now they were as strong and dark and thin as the young soldiers stationed in the frontier fortress.
The three brothers left the Wuying Palace. They were very happy to leave the palace. Only by farming can you know how happy this life is. They can only sincerely hope that this year's harvest will be better, and that my brothers will grow up quickly. If you get into trouble, it's okay even if you can't replace them with multiple helpers.
From the right side, they crossed the Inner Wulong Bridge and then the Meridian Gate, and then boarded the carriage that had been waiting for a long time. The tall and sturdy carriage was spacious and comfortable. After the three brothers took their seats, they drove towards the outside of the palace.
It was originally just one chariot, but after leaving Chengtian Gate, it instantly turned into several chariots. During this period, the cold light of its inner armor could be faintly seen, and there were many more capable figures in all directions, either bright or dark.
