First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 65 Jane in the Emperor's Heart

After listening to his mother's explanation, Zhu Biao eased his brows, opened the envelope with his own hands, and took out a piece of paper with graceful handwriting: "His Royal Highness has opened it in person, and the minister's daughter has heard that His Royal Highness has been appointed General Tiance...

After reading it, Zhu Biao put it away, looked up and saw two eager eyes, Zhu Biao said helplessly: "It's just the beginning of spring, the officials and ladies in the city want to go out to the city, and the Zijin Mountain outside the city has been held since the father and emperor held it. After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, it was closed, and many people wanted to go, so they asked her, but she just wrote a letter and said that she didn’t need to take care of her, and if it was troublesome, just refuse.”

After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed twice and said, "It's just a trivial matter, you can deal with it!"

Queen Ma also smiled and said, "If you have time, follow along."

Zhu Biao resigned after nodding. After returning to the East Palace, he pulled a piece of paper and wrote "Yes, three days later!"

Then he asked Liu Jin to send someone to the Kaiping Palace. This was indeed a trivial matter. As the place where Zijin Mountain was founded, it was only a convention to close the mountain for one year.

Zhu Biao has the intention to get closer to his future crown princess, after all, she is not only a woman to Zhu Biao.

After finishing the treatment, Zhu Biao took a nap for a while, and was woken up by Liu Jin in the afternoon. After walking around the yard for a few times, he locked himself in the Wenhua Hall.

Not only did he have to consider the issue of the sixteen states of Yanyun, it was just a guarantee, if possible, Zhu Biao would also like to expand the results a little bit. After all, the chance for the prince to go on an expedition was too few and he had to seize the opportunity.

Zhu Biao took another look at the entire territorial map of Daming. At present, Daming's territory is limited to the southern provinces, Beiyuan in the north, Mingxia regime in Sichuan and Chongqing, Wang Baobao in Shandong, and Liangwang of the Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan, etc.

However, these are just stubbornly resisting people, and they have all been swept away by Lan Yu and others in history.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has only just wiped out the troubled times, and it is far from returning to a normal level. Historically, the territory of the Ming Dynasty only reached its grand occasion in the Yongle period of the late Hongwu period.

Zhu Biao estimated that now Daming actually controlled more than 300 million square kilometers of land. After all, even Shandong and other places have not been recovered yet.

Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing when he looked at the small country compared to the later generations. At this time, there was a chance for a man and a husband to show his skills!

Zhu Biao sighed a little regretfully, he really wanted to beat him down by himself!It's a pity that Daming's national strength is difficult now, and all the troops must be concentrated to destroy the remnants of Beiyuan, and then they can free up their hands to sweep up the unruly ministers!

At this time, Liu Jin came to report that it was Quan Xu, the general of the Zuowei, who was pro-military, and came to visit.

After Zhu Biao heard it, he let Liu Jin pass him in, and Zhu Biao sat back to his position.

After Quan Xu came in, he directly landed on his knees, put his head deeply on the floor, and said in a deep voice, "The last general, Quan Xu, sees His Highness, and is willing to slaughter no ministers with the sword in His Highness's hand!"

Zhu Biao looked at him for a while and said, "Get up, the sword in Ben Gong's hand is of ordinary quality, whether it can be done depends on your own ability!"

Quan Xu promised to stand up and didn't say anything. Since His Highness wanted to see his ability, he would have the opportunity to show his ability.

Zhu Biao said, "Where are the [-] people from the military commander's residence?"

Quan Xu clasped his fists and replied, "We have gathered outside the city and are waiting for His Highness's orders."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Leave five thousand elites waiting outside the city, and the rest will go to the Northern Expedition Camp."

Quan Xu was ordered to leave, and Liu Jin said at this time: "The maidservant has already gone to investigate. The father of General Quan is an old brother who followed the Holy One. He died in the 22nd year of Zhizheng in the battle with King Hu Dahai of Jinhua and King Geng Zaicheng of Huayang."

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Then should I pursue a title?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very generous to the old brothers who died in battle.

Liu Jin replied: "The sage has pursued the title of Marquis Wu Jing, but the general resigned from the marquis the next day after receiving the title, saying that he did not want to be shadowed by his father."

Zhu Biao laughed, this is a smart man.The war is not over yet, what is a mere marquis? In exchange for a title for Longyan Dayue, in the future, when Jane is in the heart of the emperor, He Chou will not have the opportunity to make contributions.

No, the opportunity was handed to him, and ordinary people were not qualified to be the pro-military commander of the Crown Prince and General Tian Ce.

Zhu Biao ordered a few snacks, and then he calmed down to think about military affairs.

In the Kaiping Palace, Liu Jin's new adopted son, Liu An, led the five servants to the gate and said to meet the eldest lady of the palace. The guard at the gate knew that someone was coming from the palace, and hurried in to report.

After a while, Chang Mao led the housekeeper out, and when Liu An saw Chang Mao, he threw his hands together and smiled: "The slave maid greets the prince."

Chang Mao also politely gave him a hand and said, "Young father-in-law is polite, I don't know why you want to see my sister?"

Liu An straightened his waist and said, "His Royal Highness has a letter to give to the nobles, and I hope that the prince can give some guidance, so that the slaves can complete His Highness's explanation."

As soon as Chang Mao heard that it was the prince's letter, he said cheerfully: "There are quite a few close friends of my sister's boudoir who have come to the backyard, and they are all talking about poems and songs together, and it is inconvenient for this prince to go, so he will not lead the way for the little father-in-law. ."

Chang Mao turned his head and instructed, "Let the female steward in the house lead the father-in-law to go."

Liu An smiled and saluted Chang Mao and followed the steward. As soon as he entered the backyard, he saw many maids whispering.

Liu An ignored it and walked into the hall. The steward was just about to go in to report, but was stopped by Liu An.

Liu An, who was originally smiling, lowered his face and took a few steps forward when he heard a young girl's voice inside: "Sister Chang's letter has been sent for two or three days, and there is still no reply from the palace, this... "

Someone immediately said, "Hehe, I think His Highness is busy with military affairs, and I'm not in the mood to take care of this trivial matter."

"No way, Sister Chang is the future crown princess. How could His Highness not give this face? Isn't it all rumored that His Highness fell in love with Sister Chang at first sight?"

"What kind of identity does your Highness have, how can you fall in love at first sight without any kind of woman beside you?"

"Enough! You all know that His Royal Highness is busy with official business, and you are still here to say something yin and yang! Isn't it just you...

Liu An coughed outside at this time, and walked in with a smile on his face.

The voice line of a man is different from that of a woman, and it immediately became quiet inside. When Liu An walked in, he saw Chang Luohua sitting on the main seat, and more than a dozen girls sitting below, and the eunuchs in the palace hurried Get up.

Liu An first asked Zhu Biao's letter to hand over to Chang Luohua's maid, and then led the servants to kneel on the ground toward Chang Luohua: "The servants and servants are waiting to meet the nobles. You have delivered a letter and brought some spring tea from the palace to serve you."

Chang Luohua took the envelope and didn't rush to open it, and said to Liu An, "It's hard for you to run, get up!"

Liu An got up with a smile and said, "It is my honor to serve His Royal Highness and nobles."

Only then did Chang Luohua open the letter and saw Zhu Biao's words, with a smile on his face.
