Chapter 240 Arrangements for King Yong
The capital summoned urgently to decide on the Jiangnan Incident. After Lu Mou responded to the call, he left the Eighth Army to supplement and guard against Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and left 10,000 Wu Sanfu Guan Ning to guard against the countries in the Western Regions and Mongolia, and led the victorious division back to the court.

Outside the Desheng Gate in Beijing, there was a real roar of gongs and drums, red flags waving, firecrackers blasting, and a huge crowd of people.

The whole of Beijing was engaged in civil and military affairs, and the people of the whole city mobilized to welcome the triumphant army.

The prince of the prison country and King Yong personally went out of the suburbs to greet him.

When the three brothers met, they immediately hugged each other. Lu Mou proudly showed off to his brother: "Brother, I have given you half of my country for the time being. Finally, you are no longer a high-ranking official in Zhili, but a real emperor." La."

When the ministers heard this, they all smiled happily.

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Brother, you give me half of the country, and the remaining half, I will give it to you."

The ministers were shocked.

"Pull him down. After I defeat the rest of the country, I will lie down and sleep, and become the pig that our old Zhu family is."

The ministers laughed happily together.

King Yong came over and said to Lu Mou: "Third brother, you gave your brother the country, but what about the governor of Ganliang that you promised me?"

Lu Mou and Zhu Cihong said in unison: "Get out of here and go to work in your Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"I don't sit in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"Then just be a pig for me."

Returning to the Meridian Gate, Lu Mou was shocked to see the cheap man occupying the top of the Meridian Gate.

When the teacher Huang Dao saw it on Monday, he immediately understood it and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Emperor was carried up."

Lu Mou let out a sigh of relief. He dismounted, dressed up, moved forward steadily, stood still, and shouted to Chongzhen at the top of the city: "I have regained the northwest and returned with a great victory. Please allow me to disarm."

The red-faced Chongzhen nodded: "Allow the general to disarm."

Li An came out, representing the emperor, to disarm Lu Mou. Taking over Lu Mou's sword marked the successful end of the battle to regain the northwest.

Chongzhen announced loudly at the top of the city: "The whole army has returned to camp and is waiting for rewards. The regent will bring all the generals from company to above into the palace for a celebration banquet."

For a time, the whole army shouted thanks three times.

In the huge square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there were hundreds of tables, and generals from a thousand companies and above, as well as meritorious soldiers, were sitting around.

The palace maids served sumptuous food and wine in waves like flowing water.

The Royal Cigarette Factory was making a lot of money, and Chongzhen was no longer struggling, so this royal banquet was very sumptuous and elegant. But it’s just ten dishes and two soups, a combination of meat and vegetables.

This made Liu Jianye, who had contributed to Taiyuan, stretch his neck and look at the banquet of the Emperor, Supervisor and Regent on the high throne. There are actually a few fewer dishes than what I have here. But the emperor enjoyed it very much, and couldn't help but feel emotional. The rumors outside are indeed false. Your Majesty, you are really so frugal. You have really been misunderstood.

But what really dazzled the soldiers were the shy looking ladies.

They have graceful figures, beautiful faces, and gestures with proper etiquette and grace. They serve one plate of dishes and then change to the next batch as if they were flowing smoothly.

But this group of palace maids did not go far. They stood on the sidelines, pointing at a group of nuns and the soldiers on the field.

This made the soldiers blush and feel extremely embarrassed. One by one, their chests and bellies were raised even more, showing off the heroic appearance of a general.

Then, the nuns came in, walked up to the soldiers and asked them what their names were, whether they had a wife, and their birth date. They told them that if they were willing, the queen would marry them.

Most of the people who join the army are bachelors, so of course they are willing to accept a girl from the Tian family as their wife. As a result, the celebration party turned into a large blind date party. This time, Lu Mou was wholesale.

Chongzhen also achieved his goal of reducing the number of palace maids and giving them a good place to settle.

Later, the palace recruited maids one after another and married them off one after another.

The imperial palace became a training base for women in the Ming Dynasty, and the quality of women in the Ming Dynasty improved significantly. Because they are maids of heaven, the status of women also increases.

After the celebration banquet was over, Lu Mou, accompanied by the prince's elder brother and younger brother Yong Wang, rushed into Kunning Palace to pay his respects to his mother and the two aunts here.

Then he picked up the little sister Feifei, who was already able to toddle, and nibbled her from head to toe. The younger sister also hugged her brother's neck tightly, like a bottle of oil, and would never come down again.

The younger sister, in front of her concubine Tian Fei, severely accused her younger brother Yong Wang of his crimes.

Concubine Tian glared at her son and scolded: "You little nigga, you don't abide by the military rules in front of the army. If you want to go to the front line to kill the enemy for your brother, how can you run away secretly? You should leave a letter so that you can't My brother is worried."

This, what does this mean? It's not criticism, it's teaching bad tricks, or instigating.

"What's even more disgusting is that your brother sent you back, and you came back to enjoy peace and happiness? You should have followed your brother in the northwest and fought in the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather.

I beg the Emperor to send you to the Northwest Army to face that thief Zhang Xianzhong. "

What? I finally got him back, but you still want to send him out?
Chongzhen nodded: "This is very important, so let's be the governor of the northwest."

At that time, Lu Mou filed a complaint to ask Concubine Tian to keep an eye on her younger brother and stop him from running around. But this time it was fine, but it had the opposite effect. He was so frightened that he repeatedly pleaded for his brother: "I am in front of you, my brother is in charge of internal affairs, and my father is in charge of the world, but the officials need more supervision to prevent the original official situation from reappearing. Therefore, it is appropriate for King Yong to stay in Beijing to manage the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This time the four The younger brother charged into the battle, took the lead in seizing the key point of the battle, and killed a thief, which was regarded as a meritorious service. Erchen believed that the Third Law Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were handed over to the fourth younger brother, who had already gained prestige, to take charge of it and assist his elder brother in supervising the country. Let’s call him the associate king in the judicial department.”

If such a situation is formed, it will form the most stable Central State Council system for future generations. The three brothers discuss everything and handle it, and the minority can still obey the majority.

Zhu Cixiang immediately agreed: "The third brother's arrangement is good. Although the fourth brother is still young, he is in charge of the judicial department, and the ministers among them can also be cautious and will never bend the law again. In this way, the third brother can rest assured that his son and minister are here. It’s much easier inside. Please allow me to do so.”

Of course Chongzhen and Concubine Tian knew how much this brother cared for his younger brother.

Chongzhen pondered.

King Yong hurriedly argued: "With my elder brother governing inside and my third brother managing outside, my assistant king is simply superfluous. I'd better be the governor of Ganliang and look after my third brother's back."

Chongzhen's face darkened: "Princes are not allowed to command troops. This is the ancestral system."

"Then doesn't my third brother control the world's military forces?"

"That's customary."

Double standards, absolute double standards.

Ignore your own strong words: "San'er's suggestion is the best. Our ancestors' empire still has to be borne by our father and son." Then he said it to the prince: "With this arrangement, your fourth brother can also work with you and your third brother. The relationship between them is balanced. This will be good for you and your third brother in the future.”

This tells Zhu Cihong and Lu Mou that now your brothers love each other, but if there is a conflict someday, there will be a buffer in the middle.

At the same time, this Yongwang was emotionally closer to his generous and kind brother Zhu Cixiang, and he was full of admiration for Lu Mou.

If Lü Mou had ambitions to seize power, King Yong would stand on Zhu Cihong's side; and if Zhu Cihong wanted to deprive Lü Mou of his power, King Yong would stand on Lü Mou's side and argue.

After saying this, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel sad in his heart when he saw his three sons solemnly bowing and accepting orders. This is the Tian family. Even a family of father and son, brothers, must be involved in ruthless politics and must strike a political balance.

This suggestion of mine suddenly broke apart the pure brotherhood between the three brothers. How cruel this was.
