Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 359 Gifts
While Zhu Youtang was hesitating, Zhu Houzhao finally rushed back from the northwest.

why so fastThe reason is also very simple, he abandoned his own large group of cavalry, but came back on fast horses with five hundred guards.Each person has three horses, so the speed is naturally very fast.

Why are you in such a hurry?Zhu Houzhao was really worried that he didn't come back, so the court made the decision to go to war.

Can we go to war?Of course you can, but you can't fight like this. The most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao doesn't trust the Liaodong army.

Although they have completed the military reform and have capital support behind them, it is not that simple to send troops to the grassland.If the battle is defeated, the great situation in Liaodong will be ruined.

After returning to Beijing, Zhu Houzhao dismissed the team, and entered the palace without changing clothes.

Zhu Youtang watched his son walk in, with a relieved expression on his face, but then he straightened his face again: "Why are you so anxious?"

"Going back to my father, my son misses my father." Zhu Houzhao bowed quickly.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's serious face and listening to his sincere words, Zhu Youtang didn't believe his son's words.

Believe me, you ghost, you still miss me, you are probably having fun when you go out to have fun.

Although he knew it was a lie, Zhu Youtang still felt very comfortable listening to it, nodded lightly and said: "Okay, excuse me!"

When Zhu Houzhao stood up, Zhu Youtang said: "Go back and change your clothes, take the princess to Kunning Palace at night, let's talk about the court affairs tomorrow!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhu Houzhao nodded, then bowed and retreated.

He has already received the news that the imperial court has not yet decided to go to war. At the same time, Horqin has already surrendered to the imperial court, hoping to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and they are willing to pay tribute every year and become a minister every year.

Zhu Houzhao scoffed at Horqin's statement.This kind of statement also fools those people in the court who are stupid in reading.

Are the Mongols trustworthy?Have they done fewer things to surrender and rebel?
Every time they surrendered when they were weak, and plundered when they were strong, this time they were just playing this trick again.

Besides, what is the Horqin tribe?
That is the fox tribe on the prairie. This tribe is very famous in later generations. Why?
Because the women of the Horqin tribe ruled the harem of the Qing Dynasty.In order to win over the Horqin tribe, Nurhachi adopted a marriage strategy, and then the entire Qing Dynasty did not get rid of the Horqin woman.

Now that Horqin wants to surrender to Ming Dynasty, it is nothing more than that Dayan Khan is finished, and Ming's Liaodong army is about to move.

Zhu Houzhao has his own way to deal with the Horqin tribe. As long as the court has not started the war, there is time, so Zhu Houzhao is not in a hurry.

Back in Xianyang Palace, what Zhu Houzhao saw was naturally his concubine Xia.

Holding Princess Xia's hand, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "How are you doing these days when I'm away? It seems that your health has decreased a bit, but that's not good, you have to eat strong."

A blush flashed across Princess Xia's face: "Your Highness, there is no such strong princess as a princess."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately, and seeing the delicate appearance of Princess Xia, he couldn't help being moved in his heart.

"Your Highness, my concubine will wait for you to change your clothes!" Princess Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao and said with her eyes wandering.

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao agreed, and took off his clothes under the service of Princess Xia. As for changing clothes, he had to take a bath first.

This time it took Zhu Houzhao a long time to bathe, mainly because Princess Xia rubbed his back, so the time naturally took longer.

After changing his clothes, Zhu Houzhao took his princess and rushed to Kunning Palace to see his mother, and of course, his younger sister.

Her Royal Highness Princess of Daming has now obtained the title, and Zhu Youtang bestowed the title Yongning on his precious daughter, which can be said to be his expectation for his daughter.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao coming, Princess Yongning ran directly to Zhu Houzhao's side, then threw herself into his arms and rubbed against him, and said coquettishly, "Brother Emperor, you are finally back, Yongning misses you so much."

Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately, because his father has no other women, and he and his mother have treated each other with respect for so many years, so that the family in the harem can get along like an ordinary family.

This allowed Zhu Houzhao to enjoy this family relationship with peace of mind, without having to help his mother Gongdou.At the same time, it also makes Princess Yongning very cute and naive, which is what I like to see.

Holding Princess Yongning in his arms, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Brother Huang misses Yongning too. This time I went to the northwest, and Brother Huang brought a gift for Yongning."

"What is it?" Princess Yongning was really overjoyed, and quickly looked at Zhu Houzhao and said.

Zhu Houzhao tapped Princess Yongning's nose lightly, then said with a smile, "It's a bird."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved to someone not far away.

Liu Jin quickly walked over from not far away, carrying a birdcage.

Inside the cage is a bird with a pink head, the back of the head and neck all turn blue-purple, the body feathers are mainly yellow-green, the upper body is darker, and the wings are green.

This is a parrot.

Zhu Houzhao copied it when he ransacked his home in Northwest China. He thought it was fun and brought it back to his sister.

Seeing the bird, Princess Yongning really laughed, and quickly slid off Zhu Houzhao's body, and rushed directly to the bird cage that Liu Jin was carrying.

Liu Jin didn't dare to be negligent, and hastily lowered the birdcage so that Her Royal Highness could just touch it.

Who doesn't know that the most favored person in the palace is His Royal Highness Princess Yongning, His Majesty can't wait to bring her with him every day, and the Queen also loves her very much.

Especially His Royal Highness, who really dotes on his younger sister.It can be said that if you want the moon, you won't give the stars. No one in the palace dares to offend this one, it's too scary.

"Be polite, be polite, be polite."

Seeing Princess Yongning approaching, the parrot suddenly spoke.

Princess Yongning suddenly cried out in surprise, and turned to look at Zhu Houzhao: "Brother Huang, it can talk!"

Zhu Houzhao also laughed, walked up to Princess Yongning and knelt down and said, "Yes! Do you like it?"

"I like it." Princess Yongning agreed with a smile, then turned to look at the parrot and said, "What else can you say?"

Zhu Houzhao watched Yongning tease the parrot, then stood up, glanced at Princess Xia behind him, and asked with a smile, "You like it too?"

Princess Xia blushed, quickly turned her eyes away from the parrot, and nodded lightly: "It's very beautiful."

"Don't worry, I have prepared one for you." Zhu Houzhao took the princess's hand and said, "Come on, let's go see father and queen first."

After speaking, he took her tender little hand and walked inside.
