First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 698
"This……"

Liu Jin was a little hesitant. At any time, the capital of the ministers should be the prime minister, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, who is in charge of the prime minister's assistant Wanji. "

On the other side, Jining Marquis Gu Shi, who was behind Chang Yuchun, stretched out his hand and gently tugged at the sleeves of the court clothes in front of him. They have also seen it over the years since the founding of the country. It is easy for martial arts to enjoy honor, but the lower the profile, the better. It's too ostentatious in the court.

Chang Shuai, an extremely personable minister, has no titles or rewards, and is even the maternal ancestor of the two great-grandsons. If he overwhelms the prime minister again in the court, he is afraid that something big will happen.

Chang Yuchun was silent for a moment and said: "There is no room for delay in the military situation. Although Prime Minister is not a military officer, as the head of the ministers, he must know how to balance Yin and Yang, just like Li Xiang in the past, please take a look at him. "

"Your Highness is too polite."

Hu Weiyong reached out to take the courier and read it, and then handed it back to Liu Jin to let him continue to pass it on.

After several important people had seen it, Zhu Biao said, "The grain and grass in Liaodong can't be transferred to northern Xinjiang. Zhao Aiqing will look at the grain in other northern states."

"promise."

"The incident happened suddenly. The Mongols and the Jurchen tribes are fierce. The Liaodong capital may not be well-prepared. The cavalry should be dispatched from the Beijing camp immediately. Do you have any advice from the Metropolitan Governor's Office?"

The Ming Dynasty had more than [-] troops stationed in Liaodong, but there were only [-] to [-] elite soldiers worthy of the first battle, and many of them were surrendered generals from the former Yuan Dynasty.

Although the imperial court has not received the news, Li Wenzhong must have recruited part of the guards in the northern state capital according to the usual practice. If he is transferred to Liaodong, there may be a leak in the local Zhoubei, and most of the Mongolian cavalry will break through. There is no defense line in northern Xinjiang, but small groups of troops may still pass through the defense line to plunder the state capital.

Chang Yuchun came out and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the soldiers of the Beijing camp are ready to fight at any time. As long as His Highness orders, [-] light cavalry can be ordered to go north to Liaodong immediately. The rest of the people only need a few days to prepare..."

The Beijing camp has a troop that is ready to go out at any time, the elite among the elite, they produce all kinds of armor and firearms, one rider with three horses, and they are extremely mobile, in order to prevent such emergencies.

It is not impossible to have more people. After all, the base number of Ming soldiers is here, and one in a hundred can pick out tens of thousands. The difficult thing is to supply all the way, and [-] is already the limit.

Zhu Biao nodded slightly and looked behind Chang Yuchun: "Marquis of Jining, can you still fight?"

Gu Shi went out and bowed down: "May I rely on Your Highness to drive me!"

"Okay! With Qing here, and the two dragon and tiger generals Ma Yun and Ye Wang of Liaodong Capital, Liaodong Xiaoxiao is nothing to worry about."

Ma Yun was born in Hefei, Luzhou, Yewang, and Lu'an. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of volunteer soldiers in Taishan. Yangwei commanded Xiongwuwei, Hongwu Xinhai Yuan Liu Yi returned the money, and Yunwang was brave and strategically appointed as the commander of the Dragon and Tiger General Liaodong.

Ma Yun is a man of integrity, governs the public leniently, disciplines and governs, and Ye Wang was nicknamed Marshal of the Golden Spear in the past. Both of them are rare good generals.

As for why he is only a dragon and tiger general now, one is because he has less meritorious service, and the other is because the two of them were from the Long Spear Army in the past. Xie Zaixing, the one who died all the time.

Lao Zhu didn't want to use these two people anymore, so he simply left it to his son for promotion. It happened that they were not very old, and they would be more useful when tempered, so Zhu Biao arranged them to Liaodong, which must be recovered...

The Marquis of Jining ordered to retreat to the Beijing camp to order troops, and several officials from the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion also retreated together. It is not a simple matter to dispatch tens of thousands of elites, and the required procedures must be complete.

The court meeting lasted for more than half an hour before it ended. They were at the back, and after all the arrangements had been discussed, there was not much they could do. They could only quietly wait for the news of success from the front line.

Although there must be a premeditated plan on the Mongolian side for encountering enemies in two places in northern Xinjiang and Liaodong, it is not too much for the courtiers in the court. They have only lived in peace for a few years, and they have been fighting for most of their lives. .

After retreating from the imperial court, Zhu Biao went back to the Huagai Hall and sat down. The imperial physician served the decoction. The strong smell of the medicine was scattered all over the place, and there was no need to eat it. The bitterness in his mouth could not be stopped.

"Your Highness, good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease, so take it while it's hot."

Zhu Biao took it with a frown and drank it one gulp, another imperial physician stepped forward and took his pulse again: "Your Highness, please rest more..."

"Well, Liu Jin, go and send a message to the Ministry of Secretary-General, saying that the palace is not feeling well and needs more self-cultivation. The morning court in the next few days will be presided over by Prime Minister Hu. If there is an urgent matter, the ministries can come to the palace to meet."

Liu Jin hurriedly agreed with joy on his face, he was afraid that His Royal Highness would not be able to let go of government affairs, and would drag a minor illness into a serious illness.

Zhu Biao knew his priorities well. His body was more important than a few days of government affairs. If he didn't take care of government affairs for a few days, the sky of Ming Dynasty would not collapse, but something happened to him, and at least half of it would collapse this day. Come, kill an unknown number of people.

As soon as the bowl of medicine was drained, Liu An, who accompanied the princess back to Kaiping Palace, went inside. Zhu Biao took a white and warm towel from the hand of the maid and wiped the corners of his mouth: "Why did you come back?"

"Master, the Crown Princess heard that you were ill and was about to return to the palace, but the maidservant rushed over to inform you,"

"Didn't I tell the palace not to inform the Crown Princess during breakfast, how did the Crown Princess know about it?"

"It's the Crown Princess sent by Emperor Liang."

This is a bit surprising, Chang Luohua is no longer in the palace, Li Yan is the biggest, and it happens that Zhu Biao is still sick, the time and place are favorable, so why is he willing to take the initiative to invite the princess back to the palace.

"You go and tell the Crown Princess that the palace is just a little tired and caught some wind and cold. There is no need to rush back to the palace, so as not to infect the children. Wait a few days for the palace to pick it up in person."

"promise."

Zhu Biao threw the towel on the tray: "Go back to the East Palace."

The chariot was ready, and Zhu Biao didn't need to take an extra step to return to his bedroom. If Zhu Biao didn't want to be carried on his back, he probably didn't need to take a step by himself.

Li Yan greeted her with distressed face, her eyes were red, Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm not going to the battlefield when I go to court, look at you, you are not afraid of being laughed at by the people below."

The decoction that he took just now should contain medicinal herbs for calming the nerves and helping sleep. When he saw the bed, he couldn't help feeling sleepy. Li Yan helped him to undress and lie down.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Li Yan whispered: "The concubine was afraid that she would not be able to stop His Highness, so she sent someone to invite the Crown Princess back."

Zhu Biao couldn't help moving his head to look at Li Yan's pretty face and said, "What should I do with you?"

Li Yan blushed inexplicably and said angrily: "His Royal Highness... Didn't the imperial physician say that sexual intercourse is forbidden... You have to wait for your health to recover..."

Zhu Biao was silent, this woman is really incomprehensible, the sky is bright and bright, so why would Ben Gong drag her to prostitute during the day regardless of her illness?
Not long after Liu Jin entered, seeing that His Royal Highness was already lying down, he beckoned the maids to put aside the thick screen to cut off the light, and then walked forward slowly.

Seeing the memorial in Liu Jin's hand, Li Yan stood up angrily and glared at him. Liu Jin could only smile with a bitter face, and he didn't want to take these back, but whether it was His Highness's business or not, did he, a servant, do it without authorization? The power to call the shots.

Zhu Biao squinted his eyes and said, "It's all secret performances, right? Put it over there. I'll watch it when I wake up."

"promise."

The secret memorials at this time were nothing more than impeaching Chang Yuchun, citing scriptures to Zhu Biao about the dangers of foreign relatives, etc. Although most of them were useless nonsense, Zhu Biao didn't think there was anything wrong with them. Appreciate theirs.

As the saying goes, you can't keep close relatives, outsiders, how can they control their own affairs, how can outsiders speak ill of others' close relatives, this is not to make yourself unhappy.
