People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

In order to reconcile the two, Zhu Biao specially prepared a family dinner.

After he finished speaking, Zhang Yi and Lan Yu quickly separated, smiling superficially but not smiling at all.

The servants of the Prince's Mansion have prepared meals, and several people went there together.

Lan Yu frowned slightly when she saw the food on the table.

Four dishes and one soup!
It's not really rich.

Lao Zhu was diligent and thrifty in managing his family. As the prince, Zhu Biao naturally did not want to be extravagant and wasteful.

But the living standards of some people who started his business with him are not like this?

Zhang Yi knew this very well, and he also saw Lan Yu's hesitation.

He deliberately cares about:
"General Lan, can't you get used to it?"

Hearing this, Lan Yu almost cursed.

This boy was indeed not a good person. He quickly changed his expression and said:

"I'm used to it, so why not? It's all what I like to eat..."

Zhu Biao turned around and said to Zhang Yi:
"I know you're used to enjoying yourself and don't like my food. Whatever you want to eat, I'll have someone make it for you..."

His intimate attitude made Lan Yu's heart tremble.

His biggest reliance is Chang Yuchun, followed by Zhu Biao.

However, the relationship between these two people and Zhang Yi is also very good.

Chang Yuchun aside, looking at the situation, Zhu Biao couldn't rely on him in dealing with Zhang Yi.

He remembered what Hu Weiyong said to him.

If you want to take revenge on Zhang Yi, you can only take it slowly and wait for the opportunity.

But before that, he must climb to a high enough position.

Zhang Yi waved his hand:

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood Pindao too deeply!
People who are poor in Taoism will not be extravagant and wasteful..."

After he finished speaking, Zhu Biao and Chang both laughed, and Zhang Yi also laughed.

Although his daily life is not extravagant, it is definitely not simple either.

Chang and Zhu Biao knew him well.

Lan Yu saw that the three of them had a tacit understanding, but she always felt uncomfortable being like an outsider.

In terms of seniority, he is the prince's uncle and the prince's uncle.

They don't focus on themselves, but they fight fiercely with outsiders.

The more this happened, the more Lan Yu felt that Hu Weiyong was reliable.

The hatred of the Lan family cannot be counted on these outsiders. Probably only my sister and myself can remember the hatred of my nephew.

Lan Yu took a deep look at Zhang Yi. This was the second time he met Zhang Yi.

But in a short period of time, he already felt how terrifying this child was.

"Everyone sit down and eat!"

Crown Princess Chang took the initiative to speak to resolve the commotion on the table.

"Have a meal!"

Zhu Biao walked up behind Zhang Yi, put his hand on Zhang Yi's shoulder, and pressed him down.

He asked Lan Yu to sit down again, and then he sat down.

Mrs. Chang poured wine for the three of them herself.

Zhang Yi and Lan Yu even said they didn't dare.

"You are all my relatives, there is nothing to be embarrassed about...

I am pregnant, so I will toast you with water instead of wine..."

Chang first paid tribute to the blue jade:

"Uncle, you are my relative and my elder. Logically speaking, what should I not say to you?
But in this world, I have lost two close relatives, so I very much hope that my uncle can be safe..."

Hearing this, Lan Yu had mixed feelings.

He himself also attaches great importance to family ties. He responded:

"The Crown Princess said something serious. I made a mistake this time. When I came out, I found out that the Crown Princess was worried about me, a sinner. Lan Yu was very ashamed!

Here, I would also like to thank the Crown Princess for saving her life! "

After Lan Yu finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

Chang nodded and looked at Zhang Yi again:
"Brother, you are my savior! Our Chang family owes you a lot!
If you hadn't reminded me back then, we wouldn't have brought my father back from hell, even if he was my concubine...

Forget it, you know it!

Although you and I are not related by blood, my sister is attached to you!

My sister has lost two close relatives, but she also gained a younger brother like you!

I hope that we, siblings, can be siblings for life! "

Zhang Yi could hear the sincerity of Chang's words and nodded seriously.

He didn't reply directly, but picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Zhu Biao looked at the three people in front of him with a slightly complicated expression.

Chang waited for Zhang Yi to finish drinking and then said:
"It is precisely because you, uncle and brother, are my family, so I hope that you can put aside your grudges with a smile and serve the Ming Dynasty together!"

"Family, well said!"

Zhang Yi carried the sedan chair to Mrs. Chang seriously.

"Sister, don't worry, how can a hero like General Lan not stick to trivial matters?
General Lan and I are fine, sister, don’t worry! "

Lan Yu also echoed:

"Crown Princess, Master Zhang and I have never known each other before. As you said, we are both members of the imperial court and are relatives of the Crown Princess. How can we have any grudges?
It's not a sworn feud, so what's the problem? "

Zhang Yi and Zhu Biao frowned when they heard this, but turned around and found that there was nothing unusual about Lan Yu.

This is probably just a metaphor, right?

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yi also raised his cup to comfort Chang.

Chang was very happy to see that the hatred between the two had been successfully resolved.

Seeing the reconciliation between her uncle and Zhang Yi, the whole family was happy, and she was also happy.

Mrs. Chang originally wanted to chat for a while,
However, she was pregnant, so it was not convenient for her to stay for a long time.

She was supported by a servant and returned to the inner courtyard to rest.

Only the prince, Zhang Yi, and Lan Yu were left drinking.

Zhu Biao did not ask a servant to accompany him. Lan Yu took the initiative to stand up and pour wine for the two of them.

His attitude was very humble, which greatly satisfied Zhu Biao.

"Lanyu, do you want to return to the battlefield?"

Zhu Biao knew what was behind Lan Yu's recent obedience, so he simply clicked on it.

"Your Highness, we only know how to fight. You see, I am sitting in the capital now, and I have already become restless!
I hope Your Highness will see that I have made meritorious service to the country in the past and say a few words of kindness to His Majesty!

I want to fight, I want to make meritorious deeds and make up for my mistakes! "

Zhu Biao smiled and said:

"It's rare that you have such a heart, but now the focus of the imperial court is no longer in the north...

At least in the next three to five years, the imperial court will definitely focus on the expedition to Japan!
Do you still want to go to the Xuanwu Army and compete with your brother-in-law and Zhang Cundao for credit? "

Lan Yu heard this and said:
"As long as His Majesty allows it, why not?

The man's ambitions are everywhere. Wherever His Majesty points, I, Lan Yu, am willing to lead the soldiers there...

For His Majesty, take the same tone as four years ago! "

Although Zhu Yuanzhang rarely made any announcement about the Ming Dynasty's preparations for an expedition, the senior officials of the imperial court had long known about it.

After the Peking War, the imperial court focused mainly on two things.

One is to move the capital to what is now Peiping and Shuntian Mansion after being baptized by the flames of war.

The construction of a new palace has begun. The emperor demolished the palace of the former Yuan Dynasty and built his own capital.

Because of this matter, Yingtian Mansion's palace projects have been stopped.

When Zhang Yi found out about this, he felt quite regretful.

Due to historical changes, many palaces in the Nanjing Forbidden City that should appear in later generations will probably not be repaired.

And Shuntian's palace will be reorganized according to his design... As for the second thing, of course it is an expedition to Japan!
Since the second year of Hongwu, the imperial court went to Japan as an envoy and the envoy was killed.

In the fourth and fifth years of Hongwu's reign, some civil servants asked the court to send envoys to Japan again.

The emperor ignored all these suggestions.

All the officials also vaguely guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang was holding his breath.

I have been holding this breath for almost five years!

From the establishment of the Xuanwu Army to its expansion, Chang Yuchun became the governor-general of Zhejiang Province.

Everything seems to point to the court's decision to go to sea.

This matter was also discussed a lot in the DPRK.

Since ancient times, China has rarely set out to conquer the sea.

The last more famous case was Mongolia's Northern Expedition to Japan, which encountered a divine wind and finally collapsed in the sand.

This matter was also used by civil servants as an excuse to stop the Northern Expedition, and they have been admonishing the emperor.

So when it comes to next year's Eastern Expedition, the three people present understand it.

In this battle, no one can stop the emperor's determination to take revenge.

"It's not impossible!"

Zhu Biao was determined to cultivate Lan Yu, and he lowered his head and considered the issue seriously.

If Lan Yu can be like Zhang Cundao and his eldest brother Mu Ying, and make a contribution in the Eastern Expedition, it will be considered a good thing.

He begged for mercy from Lao Zhu for Lan Yu, if Lan Yu could make meritorious service quickly.

For him, it is also a good opportunity to establish prestige.

However, Zhu Biao did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked Zhang Yi:

"Brother Zhang, can you predict the future? How about this?"

Zhang Yi smiled:

"That's too late!"

"It's too late..."

Zhang Yi's attitude was obviously that he disagreed with going to Zhejiang, and Lan Yu was a little unhappy.

But what he said was that it was too late, not that he couldn't go.

So both of them looked towards him.

"Navy battles are different from land battles, the ships are fixed!
Mu Ying, Ping An, Zhang Cundao, plus General Chang!
Now that the Ming Dynasty's warships don't have enough points, how can they give General Lan an extra portion?
Moreover, the most important thing about water warfare is to have a fleet that you can control at your fingertips. Even if General Lan goes to Zhejiang, will he have time to become familiar with water warfare?

If Pindao's guess is correct, in the spring of next year, our Ming warships will go to sea...

Will General Lan follow General Chang to make soy sauce?
Pindao thought that it would be better to let General Lan return to the familiar battlefield!
My father-in-law Xu Da is over there. It would be great if he cooperates with General Lan!

Although the main force of Mongolia is gone now, there will still be wars among small groups!
General Lan goes back to train his troops, maybe he can catch up with the third Northern Expedition..."

Zhang Yi's words were reasonable and reasonable, and the dissatisfaction in Lan Yu's heart gradually dissipated.

He lowered his head and thought, what the Taoist priest said seemed to make sense.

The Xuanwu Army has long been occupying the main position since the second year of Hongwu.

Whether it is Zhang Cundao who personally formed the Xuanwu Army, or Mu Ying and Ping An who returned from the sea, they are the absolute core.

Chang Yuchun relied on his own prestige to gain a position in this Eastern Expedition. Even so, Chang Yuchun also spent a lot of time to adapt himself from land warfare to water warfare.

He, Lan Yu, has no qualifications and experience, so he really won't get any favors in Zhejiang.

It is better to stay in the north and seek an opportunity to seize Yuanting.

Zhu Biao saw Lan Yu's expression and knew that he was also moved by Zhang Yi.
He laughed.

"Okay, then go to the north, come back and tell my father..."

Lan Yu was overjoyed when she heard this and wanted to kneel down again.

Zhu Biao pulled him up.

The three of them chatted happily.

Lan Yu drank to the point of forgetfulness, and even hooked up with Zhang Yi.

After finally finishing the drink, Zhu Biao said to Zhang Yi:

"Brother Zhang, please stay and chat with me tonight...

Lan Yu, I will ask someone to send you back! "

"Your Highness, no need, I have servants waiting outside..."

Lan Yu quickly waved her hand so that Zhu Biao did not have to follow her.After bowing respectfully to Zhu Biao, Lan Yu stumbled out of the Prince's Mansion.

Apart from Fu, his eyes immediately became sharp.

Looking back, I saw Zhu Biao from a distance, holding Zhang Yi's shoulder, looking very intimate.

Lan Yu once again believed Hu Weiyong's words.

If he exposes the fact that Zhang Yi killed Chang Mao, no one will avenge him.

Even the emperor and prince may not stand by his side.

To take revenge, you can only rely on yourself and those who share the same position as you.

"Let's go!"

With this realization, Lan Yu got into the car and disappeared into the streets of Yingtian Mansion, which was gradually shrouded in night.

"My father has told me about Chang Mao's death!"

Zhu Biao and Zhang Yi entered the study. After the screen retreated, Zhu Biao confessed to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi looked calm and was not surprised by this matter.

It would be strange if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say it.

"Chang Mao deserves to die, I don't like him either, but he is my brother-in-law after all!
Therefore, we must keep this matter strictly confidential and not let others know!
Father has arrangements for whoever knows about this that day, don’t worry!
I came to you for a showdown today because I am actually afraid that you will be too worried..."

Zhu Biao shook his head, looked at Zhang Yi and said seriously:

"I married a daughter from the Chang family, and the Chang family is my in-laws!
But it doesn’t mean that I can’t even tell right from wrong...

You are right, even if this matter is exposed, I will stand by you! "

Zhang Yi was touched by Zhu Biao's words.

His best approach is actually to just pretend that this matter has never happened, or that he doesn't know about it.

If things break out in the future, he himself will have room for change.

But Zhu Biao lifted the veil himself, probably to reassure himself.

Zhang Yi chuckled, this time he didn't pretend to be dumbfounded.

He stood up, solemnly saluted Zhu Biao.

"We brothers, don't have to do this!

That kid Chang Mao is a bastard. What was originally a good thing has been disrupted by him!

I am asking you to come to reconcile with Lan Yu today and send him to the battlefield because I don’t want him to cause trouble in the capital!

Neither he nor my mother-in-law is a fuel-efficient lamp!
It’s difficult…”

The worst thing in the world is probably having a top-notch maternal wife.

As the prince, Zhu Biao shouldn't care about this, but he has a good relationship with Chang, and Chang Yuchun is also someone he respects, so this matter has become very difficult.

"Your Highness, there is no need to go to such trouble!"

"No trouble, I'm just afraid that you will think too much about me because of my status, so I talked to you about this matter!"

Zhu Biao interrupted Zhang Yi and said:

"Rather than His Royal Highness, when we are in private, I would like to hear you call me Brother Huang..."

"Respect is worse than obedience!"

"Come, tell me, your Spring and Autumn College has done well, and my father has recognized your achievements!

He has already thought about finding more students for you next year, and they will be students with innocent financial status..."

Zhu Biao rarely relaxed and started chatting with Zhang Yi.

This chat is midnight.

Mrs. Chang felt that it was too late for the two of them, and she was going to personally persuade them to rest early.

"Cesarean section, do you mean to open the person's belly and take out the child?"

She listened to the chat between Zhu Biao and Zhang Yi from a distance, and her face turned red.

Mrs. Chang couldn't stand the conversation between the two and turned back. (End of chapter)
