First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 58

The two chatted for a while and then returned to the main hall, not long after they heard hurried footsteps outside.

Chang Ruohua stood up and said to Zhu Biao, "It should be my father who came back!"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Biao also stood up and waited for his future father-in-law to bring him.

After a while, Chang Yuchun led Lan Yu in, and when he saw Zhu Biao, he bowed and saluted, "Your Highness came to the humble house, but I was not able to greet you in person, so I apologize to His Highness first!"

Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward to support Chang Yuchun and said, "Uncle Chang is too polite, it was me who disturbed him."

The two exchanged a few more words, and Zhu Biao sat back in the main seat, and Chang Yuchun led Lan Yu to sit at his start.

After saying a few words, Chang Yuchun got up and invited Zhu Biao to his study, and Zhu Biao naturally had no objection.

The group went to a room in the inner courtyard, Zhu Biao only brought Liu Jin, and Chang Yuchun ordered no one to approach.

In the study, Zhu Biao glanced around, there were military books and sand tables everywhere, Zhu Biao did not grab Chang Yuchun's seat this time, but just found a sand table and sat down.

Chang Yuchun was not polite, and after sitting down, he said, "Your Highness, I have to advise you first, after all, most of them have been captured, and the merits that can be obtained for recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun have been greatly discounted! "

Seeing that Zhu Biao did not speak, Chang Yuchun continued: "This merit is naturally enough for an ordinary prince to make his name in history, but for you, it is just the icing on the cake. More to think about!"

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "I know all of this, but this palace's expedition is not just to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun that are at your fingertips!"

Zhu Biao picked up a topographic map and said: "The puppet emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Bo'er Jijin Tuohuan Tiemuer, fled to Shangdu via Juyongguan, where he gathered about 20 troops and stared at my Ming Dynasty. There is Wang Baobao in Shanxi. , Shaanxi has Li Siqi, each with hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"

"In the Shaanxi-Gansu region, Zhang Liangbi, Tuoliebo, etc. each had [-] troops; Liaoyang Province was able to be preserved as an organic system, and Buhua, Nahachu, and Liu Yi each had their own heavy troops to defend; Occupy Yunnan and swear allegiance to Beiyuan!"

Chang Yuchun didn't expect Zhu Biao's appetite to be so great!Lan Yu's eyes burst into brilliance when she heard Zhu Biao's words.

Chang Yuchun thought for a while and said, "The expedition next year is probably already decided. It should be that His Highness will lead the ministers and others to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the King of Zhongshan will attack Wang Baobao to recover Shanxi, and the rest will have to wait until later. ."

After seeing Zhu Biao nodding clearly, Chang Yuchun stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I won't say more about the other things. After the expedition, the [-] troops under my command will only follow the lead of His Highness. That is the place where the ministers are waiting!"

Lan Yu also simply knelt down on one knee behind Chang Yuchun, and lowered her head to Zhu Biao deeply.

Zhu Biao gave a gentle smile, and the men of Chang Yuchun's lineage would be his direct line in the army in the future.

And there is no need to worry about their loyalty. Chang Luohua married Zhu Biao as the crown princess. As long as he gives birth to a direct son in the future, he will most likely be the supreme human being in the future, and he will also have the blood of the Chang family, which is the Chang family. A series of future dependencies.

Zhu Biao personally walked over to help Chang Yuchun blue jade, and then said to Chang Yuchun: "With Uncle Chang here, this palace will be at ease!"

Chang Yuchun didn't say much, and talked for a while about next year's expedition, when he heard someone shouting from outside: "Princess, please invite the lord to lead His Royal Highness to the front yard for dinner!"

Chang Yuchun got up and said to Zhu Biao: "Please, Your Highness, taste the food at home, there are two cooks I brought from the south, and the dishes they make are unique.

Zhu Biao naturally had no objection, only Chang Yuchun Lan Yu Chang Mao was qualified to serve the table when he got to the table, and the rest of the people dined elsewhere.

At the dinner table, Zhu Biao cared about Chang Yuchun's body and asked, "I heard that Uncle Chang's health was a little bad yesterday, how is it now?"

Chang Yuchun took a sip of wine and replied carelessly: "What's wrong with it, it's nothing more than an old problem left after being injured in battle. It's cold at night, and I have a cough at night. The imperial doctor has also seen it, and it's not a big problem. Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. It's gone!"

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Don't take it too lightly. Yesterday I heard that my uncle was feeling a little unwell, so I asked some famous doctors to come here. Let them take a look after a while!"

Naturally, Chang Yuchun would not reject Zhu Biao's kindness, and agreed with a smile. The meal was very cordial, after all, both parties were interested in deepening their relationship.

After the meal, the three returned to the main hall and drank another cup of tea, and Zhu Biaocai asked Liu Jin to ask Langzhong to come over to check Chang Yuchun's pulse.

While waiting for the doctors to check the pulse, Lan Shi heard that the prince had specially asked someone to check Chang Yuchun's pulse and hurriedly led Chang Luohua out.

After watching for a while, Mrs. Lan said to Zhu Biao, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My lord coughs every night, so I advise him to rest and not listen."

Chang Luohua didn't say anything but bowed to Zhu Biao gratefully.

After the first few diagnoses, they all said the same thing as the imperial doctor, that the influence of the old wounds in the body was not serious, until one of them frowned and said to Zhu Biao: "His Royal Highness, Yicaomin sees that King Kaiping's body is already very dangerous. , the pulse seems to be strong but it is weak, and the liver fire is strong in the body, but there is some kidney water......

Zhu Biao frowned for a while after hearing this. Chinese medicine was too profound.

Chang Yuchun also looked a little bad, but his demeanor was still calm.

After listening to those Langzhong, they re-diagnosed it and found that it was indeed the case.

Lan Shi's face turned pale with fright, and hurriedly asked if there was a prescription that could cure the prince.

The members discussed it for a while and said, "It's still timely to find out, as long as you take the medicine according to the doctor's order, you will be fine at home for a few months to cultivate."

After the old men finished speaking, they knelt down and apologized. After all, they didn't find out in time just now. If something happened to King Kaiping next year, they would have to be buried with them!

Zhu Biao was not in the mood to blame them, and directly rewarded the doctor who discovered the disease with 200 taels of silver and invited him to the Imperial Hospital. Zhu Biao also rewarded the rest with 50 taels of silver.

After letting them go down to discuss the prescription, the hall fell silent, only the slight sobbing of Lan's.

Chang Yuchun laughed and said, "Thanks to His Highness, otherwise, it would be incomprehensible to die!"

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "It's a good thing to find out in time. This is also the blessing of Uncle Chang's Jiren. In that case, please ask Uncle Chang to recuperate at home. I will report to the father when I go back."

Chang Yuchun smiled bitterly and said, "I will go to war next year. There are a lot of things that need to be prepared, otherwise it will be too late on the battlefield. Well, I will drink more soup every day!"

Lan Shi cried and said, "You are happy when you die on the battlefield?"

Chang Yuchun said with a solemn expression: "Hey, I am Chang Yuchun all over the world, if I die on the battlefield, I will be considered dead!"

Lan Yu saw that the two of them were arguing again and hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, you can rest in peace, and leave the pre-war matters to me!"

Zhu Biao quickly reassured him, "Yes, General Lan has been fighting for many years, and it's no problem to think about it. You can rest in peace, and this palace will rely on you a lot next year!"

Only then did Chang Yuchun agree, and Zhu Biao comforted him for a while before leaving. Chang Yuchun asked Lan Yu to personally escort Zhu Biao back to the palace!
