First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 221 Undercurrent
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head with a smile. No matter how busy the business is, he has to deal with it himself to be at ease, otherwise he will not even sleep well. He looked at his son and said, "Since you are back, you can go to the Changsha Palace in person tomorrow."

Zhu Biao nodded. This is what it should be. Li Shanchang’s smooth abdication according to the plan is also in the interests of both parties. Not to mention his hard work, the crown prince’s condolences can also show the world that the Zhu family does not forget the founding heroes.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Father, there are tens of thousands of orphans who have been recruited by the emigration this time, and they are all placed in the pro-military Duwei's Mansion?"

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "No, when the Pro-Army Duwei Mansion was first established, in order to play its role as soon as possible, we could not recruit too many people. The forces of all parties are mixed, although we can still control it now. , but it is inevitable that the tail will not be lost in the future.”

Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this. The pro-military Duwei Mansion has developed to the point where spies are spread all over the country. The reason for such rapid development is not only the strong support of Zhu Yuanzhang, but also the gathering of local snakes from all over the place.

These people are still climbing up step by step until now, but they are not good in themselves. As their power expands day by day, the news they send is more and more purposeful. Some people got in touch.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the chair and said: "Biaoer, the knife is used to protect oneself and kill the enemy. If the edge is rusted and frustrated, it can be quenched and sharpened again, but if the handle of the knife is rotten, then you have to be careful, otherwise the key You might hurt your hand."

Zhu Biao nodded to express his understanding, and Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "We have ordered Quan Xu to return to Beijing urgently. He will be responsible for training these children at that time, and establish another organization on the bright side. You can figure out what it is called, and replace the relatives in the future." The Military Captain's Mansion monitors the world."

Zhu Biao also understood his father's thoughts. It seems that during the time when Mao Xiang was away, there were many mistakes and omissions in the pro-military Duwei's mansion, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very dissatisfied.He is a man with a strong desire to control, and the pro-military captain's mansion is his eyes and ears, if he can't satisfy him, all he can do is perish.

Now there is still the pro-military Duwei’s Mansion, maybe it’s just a preparation for a big one. Zhu Biao estimates that after massacring a group of nobles, the pro-military Duwei’s Mansion and Mao Xiang will come to an end. That man I do know a lot.

Of course, this is just the beginning of the layout. This matter will take three to five years at the earliest. Hu Weiyong has not yet stepped onto the stage. The nobles are on their own, and it is not easy to find a reason.

Zhu Biao smiled. It seemed that Jinyiwei was about to be born in his hands. Without this organization, he always felt that something was missing. What made him even happier was that his father had already begun to tilt more authority towards him.

The DPRK is also in turmoil now, and Li Shanchang's retirement is a certainty, and there was another memorial to his retirement yesterday, although Zhu Yuanzhang sent him back, but thinking about it two more times, Li Shanchang will really step down.

Now Yang Xian's mansion can be said to be full of people. He has completely taken over the power of Zhongshu Province, and three of the six ministers are gradually approaching him.

Hu Weiyong hid his edge, and the Xungui Group also complained about this, but he still had no intention of confronting Yang Xian. As for Liu Bowen, he was seriously ill and was also asking Zhu Yuanzhang to resign, but his situation was different from that of Li Shanchang. Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree.

These two people have never dealt with each other. Liu Bowen's reputation in the court is not low, but he has been drifting away from the center of power. Zhu Yuanzhang does not reuse him, but he refuses to let him return to his hometown for retirement.

During the Northern Expedition, Zhu Biao promised Liu Bowen that he would help him when he asked to resign. He happened to talk about this with his father, so he said: "Liu Bowen is getting old, so my father will let him go home."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head stubbornly: "He has to die in the capital for us. Biaoer don't trust that guy. His heart is no longer with us, but he still has amazing talents. We can't let him go without him."

Zhu Biao also shook his head helplessly, and he doesn't know how these two people got to where they are today. If you really hate him, according to his father's character, Liu Bowen has nine lives and it's not enough to die. It just doesn't make him feel comfortable.

Zhu Biao couldn't persuade him any more, otherwise he would be helping others or harming others. Let's wait and see in a few years, and the court really needs Liu Bowen, as long as he is in court, he can play a lot of roles.

I talked with my father for an afternoon, and the things in the past few months have been smoothed out, and Zhu Biao said that Sapphire has returned. The court first rewarded him for his contribution to suppressing bandits, and then severely punished him for attacking the county. guilt.

Lan Yu was beaten half to death, and all his titles and official positions were wiped out. Now he is still lying on the bed and cannot get up. When he gets up, he has to go to the city gate to stand guard. This is the errand given to him by the Ministry of War.

Waiting for the father and son to have a meal at night, then Zhu Biao went back to the East Palace, and slept comfortably all night with his princess.

Early the next morning, Zhu Biaoben planned to go directly to Changsha Palace to visit Li Shanchang, but was stopped by Chang Luohua and said: "I went to see Jing'er yesterday afternoon, and it took me a long time to find out that she heard that Li Qi had contradicted you , so I was always worried."

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows: "What is there to worry about? She is a majestic princess. Li Qi dares to disrespect her because of this? Jing'er has been a little timid since she was a child. You just need to coax her."

Chang Luohua pursed her rosy lips, wanted to say something but didn't say it, and said after organizing her words: "Jing'er is not worried about this, she is worried that you will alienate her in the future."

After hearing this, Zhu Biao touched his face. Jing'er's biological mother passed away since she was a child, and she has been raised by Empress Ma herself. Zhu Biao also likes this sensible sister very much. slaves.

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "I'll go there myself. Li Qi has changed a lot recently. He is considered a talent. I have long forgotten that old thing."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao started to walk towards Zhu Jingjing's palace. Although her biological mother died early, she was Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter after all, and was raised by Empress Ma herself, so the treatment in the palace was considered very good. .

Let Liu Jin go to report first. Seeing the younger sister is different from seeing the younger brother. You have to give the little girl some time to clean up. Zhu Biao walked slowly to Zhu Jingjing's Lin'an Hall, and saw his younger sister wearing a palace satin snow skirt, walking quickly to He welcomes.

Zhu Biao stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Go slowly, and be careful not to fall."

Zhu Jingjing led the maids behind him to prostrate on the ground, Zhu Biao waved them to get up, Zhu Jingjing walked up to his elder brother and raised his face and said, "Why is Brother Huang here, come in and tell me."

Zhu Biao looked at the little girl who was trying to be calm and said with a smile: "If your sister-in-law fails, then I will come naturally. I can't let you marry with grievances."

Zhu Jingjing's eyes lit up when she heard that her elder brother came to her specially, and most of the sorrow on her face disappeared. Her elder brother is a very special existence to her.

Although her father and queen mother also doted on her, they were different. When she thought that her future husband had actually contradicted her elder brother, she was always worried that her elder brother would not want to see her in the future.

　Because I had to go to the hospital early in the morning, I wrote until four o’clock last night, and got up after sleeping for more than three hours. I came back to write in the afternoon and I was not in the mood. I felt very tired (╥﹏╥)
