First Prince of Ming Dynasty

The beginning of the summer is half a month old, and it is the present day in the Grain Rain. Outside the Kunning Palace, there is a slanting wind, drizzle and fog. Inside the palace, the father and son are playing chess pieces and chatting about government affairs.

It was already two months ago that Yunnan was pacified. All the officials appointed by the imperial court took up their posts. Tang He, the commander of the Southern Army, was also on his way back to the dynasty, and he was waiting for the ceremony of conferring the king.

"The King of Bohai Sea is also suitable."

Zhu Yuanzhang made one move at will, he didn't care about winning or losing, the main thing was that he really couldn't beat his son, and he knew that he would definitely win in the end, so he was very casual.

"You also know that Tang He invited us to join the army back then. He was three years older than us, and he was already a thousand households at the time, but he still wanted to follow us as the master. We will never forget this kindness."

After listening to Zhu Biao, he knew that his father and emperor had completely put down the filth between the two of them in the past.

When competing in the world, Tang He served as Lao Zhu's arm. Shen Min was intelligent, brave and good at making decisions. The only thing that was not good was that he often made mistakes because of drunkenness. After getting drunk, he complained, "My town is like sitting on the ridge of a roof. If you look left, you will be left, and if you look right, you will be right."

But the scene at that time was the critical moment of confrontation with Zhang Shicheng. These words inevitably have the meaning of riding on the wall and falling with the wind. Therefore, when Lao Zhu learned about it, he summoned him to face his guilt. Tang He apologized, and the matter was abandoned. Nothing is so easy to do.

It was just that it was not easy to attack at that time. After all, Tang He had a special status, and all the brothers in Huaixi were also begging for mercy. Therefore, Tang He was awarded the king at the beginning of the founding of the country, but he was soon dismissed. Inside.

Fortunately, Tang He has a long memory, and since then he has stopped drinking and drinking less, and has done more work without lying. Lao Zhu also cares about friendship, and he is the head coach of all the conquering Shu and Guiding Yun.

You must know that today in the Ming Dynasty, there is a lack of capable officials, officials, and the ability to seal the territory and govern the people, but the only thing is that there is no shortage of generals and generals. feat.

"I also read the memorial that Tang Shuai sent. In these years, the teacher has been appointed, and he can do it as soon as he has an edict. Many family members should be honored to return to their hometown."

Tang He has been playing for several days since the day of Yunnan's pacification, nothing more than the words of begging for bones. This is undoubtedly very in line with Lao Zhu's wishes. Daming now has a bright star and few wars, and even Xu Da and Chang Yuchun can't win a battle. Well, naturally I hope these old coaches give way to the next.

"Then let the Ministry of Industry build a mansion for him in Fengyang, and we will send it out from our inner quarters when needed."

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "A mansion made by a county king, even if it doesn't cost tens of thousands of taels in Fengyang, I'm afraid it won't be possible. Don't feel bad when your father arrives."

To say that it is tens of thousands of taels is actually a small amount. Because it is made by imperial order, the Ministry of Industry will mobilize the local people for corvée labor, and the same is true for the craftsmen. The mountains and forests around Fengyangdi Township belong to the royal family. Dare to say tens of thousands of taels.

After a game of chess, Lao Zhu is satisfied. If someone else accompanies him to play, even if he has high chess strength and deliberately loses to him, he will always feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that he has ulterior motives, but his son is different. Isn't it justifiable?

The ancients did not seek respect, nor were they close to each other, that's all.

"You want to leave Beijing?"

Zhu Biao packed up his chess pieces and said, "Erchen wants to meet the Marquis of Jiangyin, and he has been planning to go to sea for a long time, and now he is generally ready, but there are still some matters that need to be visited by Erchen in person to feel at ease."

Looking up at his father and emperor as if he didn't want to let him go out, he said, "It's not far from the capital, and my son Yueyu has also returned, and I also want to take Luo Hua with me. Since I got married, I have always been busy with government affairs and neglected. Accompanying, a rare opportunity…”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned when they heard the words. Chang Luohua lowered his head a little shyly, but he never thought that his husband would say such words in front of his in-laws.

Empress Ma caressed her daughter-in-law's temples with a smile and turned to face Lao Zhu: "Chongba, let them go."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed, "When did we say we wouldn't let go?"

"Have the ocean-going ships been built?"

Zhu Biaoying said: "There were many sea-going ships left over from the Yuan Dynasty. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the capital, the shipyards in Suzhou, Songjiang, Zhenjiang and other places have never stopped working. Now there are 57 and 5000 sea-going ships that can go far to the ocean. The entourage is about Fifty thousand people."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly: "It's a little less. Since we want to promote the country's prestige to facilitate the exchange and trade of goods, the advance army must be large to subdue the barbarian countries, otherwise it will cause disaster."

"It's a little less, but after the official ships, there are more than 300 large and small merchant ships from the Jiangnan family and merchant gangs, which are strong enough."

The scale of this time is definitely not as good as Zheng He’s voyages in history, because the power of the Ming Dynasty is far from reaching its peak. The background of Zheng He’s first voyage is the Ming Dynasty left behind by Zhu Yuanzhang’s 31-year Hongwu rule. Years, the accumulation is not enough.

However, the matter of opening the sea is no longer good to be postponed, not to mention that the scale is smaller than that of yourself. A fleet of this size can be said to be invincible in the world, not to mention just going to sea to establish diplomatic relations and trade, that is, to destroy the country and attack the port capital. enough.

The only thing that can go wrong is that God’s will is unpredictable, the sea is ruthless, no matter how huge the fleet is in the face of shipwrecks, it can’t resist, and man-made disasters are nothing to worry about.

After having dinner together, Zhu Biao and the Crown Princess returned to the East Palace. The two children were naturally placed in Kunning Palace. They finally fell asleep, and it was a tossing when they woke up. Besides, Lao Zhu obviously wanted to keep his grandson. Being close to each other, Zhu Biao, who is a son, will naturally not prevent his grandfather and grandson from exchanging feelings.

After the two separated and changed clothes, they reunited on the couch. They hugged their wife and said with a smile, "The husband didn't break his promise, right?"

Chang Luohua readily replied: "Government affairs are heavy, and I thought that I couldn't find time."

"Although there are many government affairs, but major events are fixed, it is natural to do what is promised."

It seemed that Li Jing was trying to make her happy. Chang Luohua couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "It's obvious that he has something important to do, but he said it as if he was forced by his concubine."

"Haha, well, it's Ben Gong's own business. I'm sorry Concubine Ai has worked hard to accompany Ben Gong for a trip."

The two of them chatted with each other for a while, Chang Luohuayi stroked the chest with the slender white and tender green onion fingers in his arms, his eyes were bright like stars, and he was obviously overjoyed.

"Then Your Highness has promised that I won't bring anyone else on this trip."

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows: "Liu Jin still has to bring it."

"What the concubine said was not Liu Jin~"

"Oh, it turns out that the Crown Princess of this palace is not so broad-minded."

If these words were said outside, it would be an earth-shattering event, shaking the palace city, not only the emperor and the queen wanted to intervene, but even Chang Yuchun had to enter the palace to plead guilty.

But it doesn't matter if it's a joke in the husband and wife's boudoir, Chang Luohua is also rarely pouting: "The concubine is narrow-minded, in short, the master can't bring other women."

Zhu Bingbin didn't mean to bring other concubines, but just teased his wife. After she gave birth to a child, she became more dignified and dignified, and people always wanted to see her other face.

Zhu Biao whispered a few words in her ear, and Chang Luohua covered his face with embarrassment as soon as he said these words, and Zhu Biao himself was a little stunned when he finished speaking, but he didn't expect that he would be able to say such disgusting words.

The crown princess has infinite beauty, but just like his prince, there are things in and outside the palace to worry about, especially the affairs of women. is also like this.

It is really troublesome to go out. Although there is no need to build a palace for reception, and there is no need to build a royal road to send people to pull dragon boats, but no matter how easy it is to ride, the necessary guardians must be at least thousands, and it is necessary for people to eat horses.

For the country, the people and oneself, in fact, it is better to go out less, but some things are not good, and the people below will not appear to be paying attention if they don’t beat, and they can cause you any trouble.
