He Wenhui sat down calmly. As a solid royalist, coupled with his achievements in the past southern and northern wars, he was not as cautious when facing the prince as other generals.
Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously. Any of his sworn brothers who had the slightest dissent were already dead. Those who were left behind might have various minor problems, but their loyalty to the Zhu family was absolutely no problem.
He raised his head and looked at the prince, cupping his hands and saying, "I wonder what your highness's orders will be in the future?"
Zhu Biao waved his hand to the servants serving in the palace to retreat. He pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't my brother also aware of the fact that Zhang Gong's eldest son has entered the capital?"
He Wenhui nodded: "Zhang Cundao was promoted to five levels and transferred to the capital in just a few days. He has been in the limelight for a while. The generals must have heard about it."
"What is the reaction of the Governor's Office and the generals in the capital?"
"Hmm... It's probably not good. Many generals in the Beijing camp have threatened to give him a blow."
"Oh? Although Zhang Gong is a scholar, he also had martial arts skills when he led the army in the past. Needless to say, Zhang Cundao, even if he is dissatisfied with his rise in power, it is not like this."
"This... Your Highness, father and son are not from Huaixi."
"Is there any brother who is dissatisfied here?"
Zhu Biao looked deeply at He Wenhui. He was so shocked that he immediately stood up and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Biao: "They are just rough people. If they have any small thoughts, my father will not care about it, and I will not make it difficult for you." They, but brother are different."
He Wenhui's figure trembled. The leisurely life he had lived for several years had made him forget his past responsibilities, especially after he changed his surname back to his own, and changed his identity from the adopted son of a handsome man to a martial artist of the Ming Dynasty.
Now His Highness the Crown Prince's words are clearly reminding him not to forget his origin.
Zhu Biao carefully observed He Wenhui's expression. Before he was born, Lao Zhu might have adopted adopted sons to prevent him from having any children to inherit his legacy. However, after he was born, these adopted sons were of only one use. .
That is, as a supervisor of the army, when the heroes are standing, it is easy for the subordinates to go. But if you treat him as a father and son in the family, you will have the reputation to maintain each other, and the friendship will be mutually beneficial. Over time, he will become a close relative of flesh and blood, and you will be able to defend the border against the enemy. , more trustworthy than generals.
Starting from Muying, Lao Zhu adopted a total of more than 20 adopted sons, all of whom were helpless children and teenagers. He gave them surnames, generous food and clothing, and taught them how to read and write and how to lead troops to defend against enemies until they could fight. At an age, they were sent to serve in a general's army.
Correct
In order to repay the kindness of raising him, his adopted son fought bravely and never retreated on the battlefield, and achieved many military exploits. However, compared with their military exploits, what is more valuable is that they serve as his direct confidants and control the generals on his behalf. Sit and defend the city.
Mu Ying once guarded Zhenjiang with Tang He, Xu Sima helped Chang Yuchun guard Wuzhou, Zhu Wengang guarded Chuzhou with Geng Zaicheng and Sun Yan, and died together with them at the hands of the rebels.
He first guarded Yazhou with King Kong Nu, and Wang Fuma guarded Huizhou. After capturing Yanzhou, Li Wenzhong guarded it with Hu Dahai and Deng Yu. After the peace, Zhu Wenxun guarded it with Hua Yun, Wang Ding and Xu Ai.
The use of adopted sons to monitor and control generals was due to the severe and unpredictable war situation. Many generals of the rebel and Yuan armies used this method at that time.
Nowadays, except for Li Wenzhong, Muying, and Xu Sima who are away, the others who are still alive, such as Wang Fuma, Zhentong, Jingangnu, Yexian, Maidon, and Po'er are all leading the army in the Beijing camp.
This is why Zhu Biao has always been very confident that there will be no chaos in the Beijing camp. There are really too many confidants inside, and they have different backgrounds and interests, so it is impossible to reach an agreement to rebel. "
He Wenhui knelt on the ground: "Although I have changed my surname back to my last name, I have always kept in mind the nurturing grace of the Holy Queen. I am a member of the Zhu family."
Zhu Biao nodded slowly: "We are a family, brother, just remember that in everything, the Zhu family, the country, and the country should be the most important thing, not the interests of other people."
"promise!"
"I will not summon him and my brothers one by one. I would like to ask you to remind me when I get back. If you still don't understand, the person you see next time you come to the palace will not be me but my father."
Everyone knows that no matter what happens in the court, if you meet the Crown Prince first, then there is a high probability that there will be room for change. If you face the Holy Lord directly, the good things will be paid off. If it is bad, the Queen will be counted among the nine deaths. Help and intercede.
"promise."
After the beating, Zhu Biao signaled Liu Jin to help him up. After He Wenhui corrected his mentality, he was no longer panicked. Although his buttocks were a little crooked recently, his long-standing habits also kept him at a certain distance from the Huaixi generals, not to mention that no matter what However, he still remembers where his power and position came from.
In order to let Zhang Cundao establish himself in the capital camp of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Zhu Biao really tried his best. It is true that Huaixi Wuxun was too exclusive and extremely arrogant and could not tolerate the slightest grievance.
Zhu Biao couldn't force them to accept Zhang Cundao, a member of the East Zhejiang Party, so he could only pry his way from another hilltop. But this was also because of his power, otherwise most of the adopted sons would come from Huaixi, Yinfengyang, etc. Everyone knows how to violate it, it's just a question of whether they dare or not.
He Wenhui was a little embarrassed. It was easy to accept Zhang Cundao. As the holy emperor's confidant and adopted son, who conquered the world with the Huaixi generals, although his qualifications and achievements were inferior, he could not be said to be afraid.
Because of their special status, only the Holy Emperor and the Prince can touch them. The rest, even Xu Shuai and Tang Shuai, do not have the courage, otherwise they will be suspected of cutting off the emperor's wings. They did not dare to supervise the army in the troubled times, let alone at this time.
But first you have to give them military power that matches their level. This thing is a carrot and a pit. Who should let it go?
Don't even think about getting along with the brothers. He is not Muying and Li Wenzhong. He doesn't have that much prestige among the brothers, and he doesn't have the ability to make appropriate compensation arrangements.
Then the only way left is to give up the mess in his hands. In this way, His Highness can only summon him and it will make sense.
He Wenhui eagerly waited for Zhu Biao to speak. If His Highness took the initiative to speak, then there would be appropriate arrangements. Even if he was at a loss, there was nothing he could do and he could not disobey His Highness.
He is his biological son.
Before the prince could speak, He Wenhui sighed: "Your Majesty, I will be suffering from a recurrence of my old illness in the last few days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take on important responsibilities. I would like to resign and go home to recuperate for a period of time. I will be responsible for the errands of the Governor's Office and the Beijing camp. Your Majesty, please do me a favor."
Looking at He Wenhui with a serious face, Zhu Biao couldn't help but turn his face and laugh. When He Wenhui saw this, he knew he was joking with him, and his heart fell back into his stomach.
He could only smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the general will obey your orders. Why tease the general?"
Zhu Biao smiled and said, "I just wanted to see if my brother has improved in Qi-nurturing skills in recent years."
Slowly suppressing his smile, he said seriously: "What is the relationship between Zhang Cundao and this palace? How can I compare with my brother despite being so close? It is a last resort to use him."
These sworn brothers still need to be appeased. As he said just now, there must always be a distinction between closeness and distance. For the sake of Zhang Cundao, the hearts of He Wenhui and other sworn sons must be broken. Isn't it a small gain at a loss?
Therefore, greater compensation must be made to let him know that if he obeys, he will get better things. This is the long-term way to control his subordinates.
He Wenhui said with emotion: "Your Highness does not need to say this to the general. Everything the general has is given by the Holy Emperor and the Queen. If it were not for the upbringing of the emperor, I would have died in the troubled times, and I would not be where I am today."
Zhu Biao waved his hand: "The position of governor of the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Liaodong is all chosen by my brother. It will not be easy for more than ten years."
"The general will not dare... how could he..."
"There are no outsiders here, but you can speak frankly."
He Wenhui quickly thought about it. The military power of a province is much more powerful than that of the Beijing camp. The best among them is undoubtedly Yunnan, but he has little friendship with Tang Shuai, not to mention fighting with brother Mu Ying, which is not what he wants. , the brothers will not support it.
Guizhou is undoubtedly the worst. The chieftains are rebellious, rebellions are frequent and difficult to quell, and achievements are hard to achieve. The only advantage may be that there are no civil servants, and the accumulation of various chieftain families for hundreds of years...
