Zhu Biao turned around and sat down and said calmly: "It's just a precaution, it may not really be used, so you don't have to be so confused."
Jiang Wei took a deep breath and replied: "Yes, the last general has violated his etiquette before the emperor, and please forgive me for my sins."
Zhu Biao waved his hand and said: "Go down and be careful."
"promise."
Jiang Wei bowed and retreated with the gold medal in his hands. After he walked away, Liu Jin said with some worry: "Sir, that can dispatch all the soldiers and horses inside and outside the capital. Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it?"
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "I don't have a troop deployment talisman here that can suppress the True Dragon Gold Medal."
Liu Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Master, please stop teasing me at this time. This Jiang Gu is not Quan Xu and the others. I am always a little worried. How about I invite some of the Hou masters who are camped in Beijing to come?"
"Well, those who were born in the pro-military Duwei Mansion are the eagle dogs of the Tian family. They are not among the civil and military ministers. Even if they are in power for a long time, they will not dare to make mistakes. What's more, I am in the palace, even if I have the True Dragon Gold Medal It is also impossible to go beyond this palace and directly order the Jinwu Guards' Han Linwei, who is stationed in the Imperial Palace, to open the palace gate."
The soldiers who were banned in the Suwei Palace were the emperor's own troops and were not under the command of the Ministry of War and the Five Army Governor's Office. Although the vacuum gold medal had great authority and could control the world's troops, it could not be done without the personal endorsement of the emperor or the prince. The role played is not that big.
After all, this was not given by Zhu Biao during his reign. There was only one witness, Liu Jin, and Jiang Yu himself was not very qualified. There was no problem in temporarily suppressing the generals in the Beijing camp, but it was impossible to directly mobilize the troops to do whatever they wanted. The generals who commanded the troops were not fools. They only gave some simple orders. If they really wanted to mobilize troops on a large scale, they had to wait for confirmation from the prince.
Liu Jin felt relieved after hearing this, and Zhu Biao bent over his desk again and started reviewing. He still didn't know how many memorials he had to review, and this was only for today.
It was not until he was ugly that Zhu Biao rubbed his eyes and stopped writing. Liu Jin handed over a warm kerchief. Zhu Biao closed his eyes and covered his face with the kerchief. He was not sleepy, but it was really hard to read under the light of the candle. It hurts the eyes and tired the eyes.
"Sir, it's already this hour. We have an early morning meeting tomorrow, so why don't we take a rest?"
Zhu Biao felt that his dry eyes were relieved a little, and he sighed unconsciously and said: "In half an hour, by the way, I'll tell you to wait for an hour tomorrow morning."
There was a shortage of officials in various ministries in the capital. Zhu Biao knew that not only he was tired, but also the ministers below would be even more tired. He had just sent someone to see that the Zhongshu Province and Liubu Yamen were also brightly lit.
"promise."
Zhu Biao took off the cold handkerchief and threw it aside. He stretched out his hand to adjust the candle beside his body, and then continued to read the Ministry of War's memorial on Liaodong attentively.
The core goal of the imperial court's military and political activities in Liaodong has always been to restore the original territory and establish an effective management system, so as to play the role of the left arm of the capital, arching China to the west, connecting the Hu invaders to the north, and adjoining North Korea to the east.
In the past two years, with the surrender of a group of officials and generals from the old Yuan Dynasty in Liaodong, the Ministry of Industry has repaired some post system systems leading to all parts of Liaodong, and at the same time set up military garrison to connect them together, and connected Jin, Fu, Hai, Gai, Liaoyang, The acropolis in Shenyang and other places have been renovated, and the soldiers and civilians are doing their jobs.
Although Liaodong Naha's decision to surrender has not yet been revealed to the world, the upper echelons of the imperial court are basically aware of it. Naturally, the Ministry of War pays special attention to it, so it has begun to plan the following matters impatiently.
The Ministry of War recommended the establishment of additional acropolis such as Kaiyuan, Tieling, Yizhou, Jinzhou, and Guangning, and also incorporated the Ha Chu headquarters and the Mongolian Jurchens in Liaodong to form three guards to take charge of the Liaodong guards and horses, and build cities to control the border areas.
At present, the people in Liaodong have no fixed place to live, farming has been abandoned, and the garrison is short of food and pay. The first task of the generals dispatched by the imperial court is to divide their troops and garrison them in important military towns, repair cities, and appease the residents within the territory.
After actually controlling the Liao-Gai area, they set up extensive guard posts and extended the defense lines to the west, east and north. They immediately mobilized troops to farm, expanded military forts, trained troops to protect the people, and consolidated the results. That is, the city was built with hundreds of pheasants. Six flowers bloom on the barrier.
Naturally, Zhu Biao could not just deal with the matter when it came to Liaodong. After reading it carefully several times, he started making corrections and suggestions directly on the content of the memorial to the Ministry of War, instead of simply reviewing a few sentences.
The people in Liaodong are currently complex. Han, Mongolian, Koryo, and Jurchen tribes live together. These people have different languages, customs, and habits and even hate each other. This naturally does not matter under the rule of Naha Chu, but they submitted to the Ming Dynasty. It must be handled properly afterwards.
In this way, Zhu Biao did not leave Jinshen Hall until the end of the Chou Period. Although he was already very sleepy, he still had to return to the East Palace to sleep. After all, Jinshen Hall was too close to the harem.
The cold wind blowing at night cheers people up a lot. Looking up, the night sky is bright and dazzling, with many stars surrounding the bright moon. Such a sight is not uncommon in today's clean era.
But no matter how many times I have seen it, the feeling of shock in my heart has never weakened by half. This starry sky is undoubtedly the most fair and just existence. Whether it is a prince, general or a trafficker, what he sees is the same scenery. .
There were lights and candles burning in the Chengqian Palace. Zhu Biao knew at a glance that Chang Luohua must not have gone to bed, otherwise there would not be so many candles left. Sure enough, he was greeted when he stepped in.
"Why haven't you stopped yet?"
Zhu Biao naturally took his wife's hand, and Chang Luohua obviously had no intention of saluting. The young couple did not need to pay too much attention to etiquette in the palace in the middle of the night.
"The queen mother entrusts the harem to her, so the concubine will naturally take on the responsibility."
The two of them walked into the inner bedroom hand in hand. After Liu Jin refilled the tea, he left silently. He also had to go to bed early, otherwise he would not have the energy to serve him tomorrow. He knew these priorities clearly.
Chang Luohua's body exuded fragrance, and he had obviously taken a bath. The maids helped the prince take off his clothes and boots, and brought soup to wash his feet. Zhu Biao sat on the couch and sighed happily,
"Don't worry too much about the affairs of the harem. As long as it doesn't involve the princes and princesses, just turn a blind eye and let them make noise. It's still a pastime after all."
Chang Luohua couldn't help laughing and said: "You are wrong. If the emperor is not here, what else can the concubines in the harem have to argue about? They are all very kind. They will probably be locked up in the palace for the next few months." You have to go through your own door."
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and then understood. If the emperor and queen were not here, and the two elders were not here, who would they show to when they were noisy? The quarrel is nothing more than fighting for benefits. The person who distributes the benefits is temporarily absent, so it is natural to take a rare opportunity to rest.
Moreover, the Queen no longer has the Crown Princess holding the Phoenix Seal on her behalf. They are considered elders anyway. If they are reduced to having the Crown Princess reprimand and punish her in front of all the concubines in the harem, how can she lose her face? When word spread, it made the ladies inside and outside the palace laugh at her.
Furthermore, anyone with some brains would not pick a fight at this time. The Queen is kind and treats them all equally, but if she causes trouble for the Crown Princess when she is not around, it will not be the Crown Princess’s face but the Queen’s face. s face.
When the Empress comes back, not to mention what will happen to them, if the Empress is even the slightest bit dissatisfied, their relatives in the court will end up in trouble. The Queen's dignity in and outside the court is probably only inferior to that of the current Holy Emperor, and the princes are all Still a little worse.
"Then why don't you go to bed earlier? You've stayed up until this hour."
Zhu Biao withdrew his wiped legs and feet and lay down in the cave. Chang Luohua, with his black hair disheveled, leaned against his husband. He stretched out his hand and drew a circle on Zhu Biao's chest and said: "The eunuchs in the palace are in the fourth and eighth bureaus and the female officials are in the sixth bureau." The first department has been reorganized, and the specific errands and duties have not been fully standardized, so I want to complete it before my mother returns to the palace."
"I see. This needs to be planned carefully. Let's ask the officials from the Ministry of Rites to help take a look at it tomorrow."
The couple were both sleepy, and the maids who were waiting on them gently put out the lamps. The inner bedroom soon fell into darkness. The cold moonlight filtered through, so it was not completely dark.
