First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 28 Blue Jade
Since the Northern Expedition army set off, scholars from all over the world gathered in Yingtianfu, waited for the opening of the new dynasty, and then squeezed into the hall.

In Wu Wangfu, the 12-year-old son Zhu Biao was following Song Lian to meet various famous scholars and Confucian scholars.

In the face of their compliments as if they didn't want money, Zhu Biao accepted it with a humble and elegant face.

After they left, Zhu Biao rubbed his stiff cheeks, and Song Lian took a sip of the tea: "Sir, don't be annoying, these people can't give charcoal in the snow, but it's good to be icing on the cake!
"The reputation you have accumulated over the years can be spread all over the world through their publicity, and scholars all over the world will know that the Prince of Wu, Zhu Biao, is courteous, courteous, and knowledgeable!
"Disciple knows!"

"Well, then get ready, someone will come later!"

...............

In the first year of Wu (1367), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered his 13-year-old son Zhu Biao to go back to his hometown to worship the ancestral tomb.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang rode out of Yingtian Mansion, "Biao'er, this is the first time you've left your parents to go out on your own. Be careful along the way and don't leave the army!"

"There are a lot of people with ghosts now, who are staring at our father and son. The world is about to be decided, and there are so many important military and political affairs. I'm afraid we don't have time to go back and worship in person, but why do we need such a big happy event? Tell us the ancestors of the old Zhu family!"

"You are our eldest son, and you will be your father to tell the ancestors about this happy event!"

"Yes, Daddy, don't worry! The child must be careful on the road, and he will tell his ancestors about his great achievements!"

"Hahaha, you kid, remember that when you get to your hometown, you can't make a scene, you must treat your hometown parents closely, and you can't forget your roots!"

When they arrived outside the city, 500 cavalry had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw King Wu and his son, all [-] people got off their horses, knelt down on one knee and shouted, "See King Wu, see Prince!

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked them to get up.

The commander of the five hundred iron cavalry stepped forward and knelt under the horses of the two. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao and said, "This is Lan Yu, a young general under Chang Yuchun, this time he will protect you! "

Zhu Biao nodded and looked curiously at the young general under the horse, who was very heroic and had a look of vigor.

"Then I'll trouble the general this time."

Lan Yu replied loudly, "I am willing to serve the prince!"

Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son and said, "In ancient times, people like Shang Gaozong and Zhou Chengwang knew the hardships of the common people, so they were diligent and thrifty and became a good monarch who guarded the success."

"You have grown rich and accustomed to happiness. When you go out and browse along the way, you can know that pommel horses are hard-working. You must carefully observe the livelihood of the people to know that food and clothing are difficult, and to understand the likes and dislikes of people's conditions to know the good and the bad of customs. It is not easy for me to start a business.”

After Zhu Biao agreed, Zhu Yuanzhang watched him gallop away with five hundred iron cavalry.

Along the way, Zhu Biao's thigh was frayed, Lan Yu wanted to get him a carriage, but Zhu Biao refused.

Lan Yu, this person, don't look at him respectfully now, but this person is proud in his heart.

If Zhu Biao couldn't even endure this, then he would never be convinced.

"Of course, Lan Yu is nothing. If you are really unconvinced, it's a big deal to kill it, but isn't playing for the monarch the joy of taming the generals!"

"If you don't accept it, kill it. The method is too crude, and it seems too unqualified."

All the way to the wind and sleep, the roads at this time are very bad, and some places are not easy for horses to pass, so they can only detour. Fortunately, Yingtian is not too far from Haozhou.

And they were all within the sphere of influence of Lao Zhu, so Zhu Yuanzhang only let his son take [-] elite cavalry soldiers, who could attack and retreat or escape. Without an army of tens of thousands, it was impossible to block them.

Lan Yu's work is still very stable, and scouts are dispatched in advance to investigate along the way. She sleeps in front of Zhu Biao's tent at night, and will never let Zhu Biao be alone.

On the way, Zhu Biao really opened his eyes. He passed many villages and towns. Although no one dared to get close to them, he also saw many villagers from a distance, which refreshed his lower limit of poverty.

How to say it, it is a town, but it looks like a few hundred households, and there are not as many people as half a modern village.

As for the village, let alone a single clan with [-] households is considered a prosperous population.

In general, even the richest man in a village or town is just a larger earthen house with some tiles on it, and some chickens and ducks are kept in the yard.

After more than five days of raiding, he finally entered Haozhou. He did not enter the city to disturb the people, so he set up camp outside.Lanyu sent people to the city to buy the things needed for the sacrifice, and then let people buy some wine and vegetables back.

Zhu Biao returned to the tent first, rubbing the ointment with his teeth grinning, his pampered body could not stand the attack for such a long time.

The skin on the inner thigh is worn during the day and scabbed at night and then worn again the next day.

This time, he didn't bring Liu Jin with him, and he wasn't used to letting other men come over and rub the medicine for him, so he just kept on solving it by himself.

Fortunately, the ointment in the army is very good. It stings first, and then feels cool.

Just after wiping, I heard Lan Yu's voice from outside: "Last General Lan Yu asks to see Shi Ziye!"

A smile appeared on Zhu Biao's face. He has not paid much attention to Lan Yu these days. We are a serious prince, not a broken Liu Xuande!He Lanyu is not Guan Yu Zhang Fei nor Zhuge Liang.

You can hold it if you want, it's you who lacks the opportunity, not me.
