First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 587
I put down my pen and read a few more letters, all of which were letters of greeting from Li Jin, Zhang Fan and others. They greeted him, the crown princess, and the bodies of the two grandchildren. The relationship between monarchs and ministers also needs to be maintained.

Zhu Biao put it aside after reading it, and didn't intend to reply for now. They will write after they get the news from Beijing, and it will not be too late to reply at that time. The Wei Guan case does not involve them, the local officials who have been working in the frontier.

Counting the days, there should be news from Koryo and Dongying. I don't know if it is because Jiang Yu is not in Beijing, the news from the pro-military Duwei's mansion is getting slower and slower.

Zhu Biao casually reached out and knocked on the desk for a while, and the dull and steady knocking sound came out. Several servants who were serving outside heard the sound and came in to worship. After a while, seeing His Highness did not order, they retreated quietly again.

After a while, Zhu Biao got up and took a volume of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" from Yuyao's official engraved edition from the bookshelf beside the hall. Of course, Zhu Biao had read the whole volume of this book, but every time he re-read it, he would be confused. New harvest.

When people were reading in the dead of night, after drinking three cups of tea for this book, Zhu Biao rubbed his slightly sore eyes, got up and went directly to Li Yan's place to rest.

The next morning, he got up early and coaxed Li Yan a few words, and then went back to Chengqian Palace to have breakfast with his concubine. Since he didn't have to go to the court and couldn't leave the East Palace, it was rare for him to be free.

But this leisure lasted until the end of the early dynasty. Most of the officials above the fourth rank in Beijing were waiting at the East Corner Gate, hoping to enter the East Palace to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. Naturally, it was impossible for Zhu Biao to meet officials on such a large scale.

It was only yesterday that the emperor suspended the early court and banned the East Palace. Today, the crown prince summoned all civil and military officials. What a bad influence it has spread, and those who follow the public are nothing more than some people. dismissed them.

No matter what the attitude was, unless his father was exempted from the ban, Zhu Biao would not meet any officials easily, and the situation was too difficult to talk about. The majesty of the emperor was the majesty of his prince.

Zhu Biao still didn't know what happened in the early court, but he could probably guess that it was just that the emperor couldn't stand the emperor's arbitrariness and wanted to use the prince as a banner and a tiger skin.

After visiting the two sons who had woken up, Zhu Biao visited Wang Rui and Nuan Yu again, and then returned to the Wenhua Palace to rest and read. He also had lunch by himself.

In the afternoon, he began to accept all kinds of soup and snacks from Li Yan, Chen Yunqing and others. Accepting and feeding well is also an important way to ease the conflicts between concubines. As long as there is something delivered, Zhu Biao will eat a few mouthfuls more or less.

Where there are many women, there must be disputes between right and wrong, not to mention why they married into the East Palace, but they know that the only man and support in this life is Zhu Biao, and there must be a limit to doting on such things, such as the golden nanmu basin , there will always be people who will not get it.

Don't care about whether the thing is useful or not, it's just human nature to be dissatisfied if others have it or not, it's just that there are few people in the East Palace now, and the princess is just so that the contradictions are not revealed.

There is always a word of contention in life. If you don’t fight for steamed buns, you can still fight for breath. Even if you dare not fight with the princess, don’t you dare to fight with others?Didn't Li Yan win the favor?
In the afternoon, no one begged to see Zhu Biao, but more women begged to see Chang Luohua. In the end, Chang Luohua only let the wife of Dali Temple Minister Yan Donglai enter the East Palace to thank her.

The imperial hospital is an institution dedicated to serving the royal family. Zhu Biao sent an imperial physician to treat Yan Donglai every day, which is the kindness of the king, and the Yan family naturally wanted to come to thank him.

Chang Luohua's willingness to meet Mrs. Yan at this time is because he knows that his husband has taken a fancy to Yan Donglai and made him his minister, so he deliberately asked about Dali Siqing's condition in person.

There was no need for Zhu Biao to worry about this kind of thing, and he cherished the rare leisure time. Several days passed like this. Although there were twists and turns in both the court and the people inside and outside the capital, it had no effect on Zhu Biao who was in the East Palace.

It was not until Chahan entered the palace that Zhu Biao woke up from the state of stealing half a day's leisure. Chahan is not yet a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and this matter is related to the overall situation of the imperial court in Liaodong, so naturally he cannot be seen.

"The minister of Liaodong Weimo pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, and wishes His Highness a long life!"

Zhu Biao looked dumbly at Chahan who was bowing respectfully in the hall. It was true that Naha intended to surrender, but Chahan's words were to seal the matter, even Zhu Biao couldn't help but be delighted.

"My son, please rise up. The family of princes and lords does not need to be so self-effacing. Come and give me a seat."

Fugui led two tall and strong eunuchs to move a seat, but Chahan didn't get up: "I dare not be your highness and call him the son, my father only received the title of prime minister and Taiwei in vain when he took office in the previous dynasty, the so-called king of Kaiyuan They are all rumors spread by people in the world, and they are not enough to be believed.”

Zhu Biao nodded and said with a smile: "That's the case. It can be seen that there are restless people in Liaodong. Goryeo has repeatedly violated the frontier and has evil intentions. They are mostly responsible for this matter."

Chahan raised his head and replied: "Your Highness is wise, the barbarians in Koryo are small and uneducated, and their people are as humble as the Japanese in Japan, so their hearts must be different!"

Seeing that Chahan was still on his knees, Zhu Biao waved his hand to let the extra waiters go out, leaving only Fugui Fuduo to serve: "Since the words have come to this point, I will not go around in circles, but there is a letter from the Taiwei. gone?"

"A letter from the family is on Wei Chen's body, and I would like to present it to His Highness for the royal reading."

Fugui glanced at the prince, then went to Chahan and took the letter paper, took it back to the desk, took out the letter paper, and put the letter paper in front of Zhu Biao after seeing nothing unusual.

There were not many words on the letter paper, and Zhu Biao quickly read it, to the effect that Naha sent a sincere greeting to Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao's body, and then mentioned the matter of meeting and defeating Lao Zhu in previous years, and finally I hope that Daming can accept his surrender and confer him an official position, but he requests that he can continue to guard Liaodong for Daming.

Zhu Biao's expression didn't change after reading it, which made Chahan, who was kneeling below, feel his heart sink, and couldn't help but blame his father, you are watching the fire on the other side of Liaodong, but my little life is in his hands.

Immediately, a loud head knocked on the ground: "Your Highness, forgive me!"

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment before opening his mouth: "What is the crime of the son, since King Kaiyuan is concerned about this, the court should be satisfied, and there is nothing wrong."

Chahan shuddered, the expected bargaining did not happen, and one sentence of King Kaiyuan was all right, which was even more frightening. Only when there is sincerity in buying and selling will haggling be made. It is probably because such a big event is not even prepared to pay back the price. Not going to make this deal.

Zhu Biao looked at Chahan who opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, his eyes gradually turned cold. It's not that he doesn't know how to bargain, but that this matter does not allow bargaining. Many things can be discussed, whether it is the Lord Hou, the Duke, or even The princes have everything to discuss, but there is only one thing that cannot be discussed, and that is the matter of Naha's entry and exit from Beijing.

All the premise is that Naha handed over the military power of Liaodong's 20 troops to enter Beijing to be negotiated, otherwise Liaodong is only attached in name, and Ming now doesn't need anything in name, as long as it has a real territory.

"My son, please go back. This palace will invite the emperor to seal King Kaiyuan as the right chancellor of the middle school of the Ming Dynasty. I will be specially appointed as Dr. Ronglu to assist in leading the military and political power in Liaodong to open the government system. I think I will send imperial envoys to Liaodong in a few days. Official seal."

After speaking, Zhu Biao got up and walked to Chahan and asked curiously: "My palace has fulfilled King Kaiyuan's wish, so why doesn't your son thank you?"

"The humble minister dare not accept orders."

Zhu Biao pulled Chahan up, pushed him lightly, and made him fall on the seat he had just moved. Seeing that he was about to get up as if his butt was burned, Zhu Biao directly stretched out his hand to hold him down: "I don't know if King Kaiyuan has something under his knee." How many children?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, there are five Weichen brothers and seven sisters."

"King Kaiyuan is a blessed man. I don't know if the son is also blessed with this blessing."

Without waiting for Chahan to speak, Zhu Biao stared at his dodging eyes and said word by word: "The prince is not too young, and he should consider for the welfare of his descendants. You must know that the destiny is irreversible. In this world, only this palace can keep the prince full." Wealth and honor can protect the heirloom of the princes and princes."

"I know, I know."

Chahan is not a very outstanding person, Zhu Biao has already seen it from the beginning of meeting, maybe he has some ability to lead the army under the influence of his ears, but this person is by no means a determined person, he likes wealth and extravagance, he is just an ordinary person .
