Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 28 Old Zhu Fangquan
Looking at the memorial that Zhu Biao reviewed, Lao Zhu was even more satisfied. Lao Zhu was extremely satisfied with his son-in-law.The prince's control over the court and his handling of political affairs satisfied Old Zhu.

"Father, if you attack Liaobei this time, you have to let Lan Yu go with you." Zhu Biao continued to review the memorial, and said, "Liaobei must be pacified, and Naha must be brought under control."

Naha, the Taiwei of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, occupied the area north of the Songhua River. There were several 10 people in his tribe, who were active between Liaodong and the Liaohe River Basin.

To get rid of this force, this is what Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao have long wanted to do.Although the Yuan Dynasty was driven out of the hinterland of the Central Plains, they have been active in the northeast border, and they still have a wicked heart to return to the Central Plains.

Lao Zhu nodded and said, "We are now training soldiers and raising food and grass. It's time to get rid of these scourges. Biaoer, what do you think of Lan Yu?"

"Handsome, but too domineering." Zhu Biao laughed and said to Lao Zhu, "There are many such arrogant and domineering martial arts under the hands of the father. If Sapphire is a little restrained, it will be a good knife."

Lao Zhu smiled. As the uncle of the crown princess, Lan Yu naturally tried her best to maintain the position of crown prince Zhu Biao.As the banner of martial arts under the prince, Lao Zhu still hopes that Lanyu can help Zhu Biao control the military power after Zhu Biao ascends the throne, and hopes that Lanyu can assist the prince to wipe out Beiyuan.

Thinking of something, Zhu Biao said with a smile, "Father, my son has many honors in the East Palace, and many generals who command troops outside. My son didn't think much about it, but that kid Yinger is also cultivating His warrior team is gone."

Lao Zhu immediately couldn't help laughing, this was really something he was quite proud of.

Lao Zhu didn't feel shy at all about the prince of the East Palace controlling the military power, and even many generals who commanded the army worked for the East Palace under his behest.The emperors of other dynasties were afraid that the prince would hold military power, that was the business of other emperors, Lao Zhu really did not shy away from it, the more military power his prince had, the better.

"That kid Ying'er, let's make him the King of the Four Seas in a few days!" Lao Zhu laughed and said to Zhu Biao, "We can see that our grandson is holding back his energy and wants to do something. something."

Zhu Biao also joked, "The king of the four seas should not give it to Ying'er, lest the people in the court think too much. Give it to Yun Wen, let him go to help Ying'er, the tiger brother."

Throughout the dynasties, many emperors who were in their prime were very jealous of the East Palace having too much contact with the ministers, and they were even more afraid of the prince holding military power.But it's different here at Lao Zhu, the crown prince's Donggong team has many warriors, especially focusing on training Mesozoic like Sapphire.

This can be regarded as a kind of imitation. Although Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, has not had much contact with martial arts and generals, the emperor and the prince turned a blind eye to him when he began to try to cultivate his own military team. Only one eye, a little happy to see what happens.

The enthusiastic Zhu Xiongying took a prepared memorial and hurried to the Hall of Martial Arts, "Grandfather, see if your grandson is okay?"

Zhu Biao put down the brush, and said angrily, "I was polite when I was young, but how come the older I get, the less polite I am?"

"I don't need to pretend in front of the emperor's grandpa!" Zhu Xiongying said confidently, "But outside, who doesn't say that the emperor's grandson is gentle, elegant and generous, and has a bit of the demeanor of a prince."

Zhu Biao was angry and funny, and knocked on the table, "I'm not like you. Anyone with a little bit of city can see that you are only crowned with a monkey. If you really want to be refined, read more works of sages, raise a Be righteous."

"Father, I am your own son!" Zhu Xiongying said with a slump in his shoulders, without showing any weakness, "I remember that a few days ago, I taught Yun Wen and Yun Xi to read, but you said in private that I was not allowed to learn more Confucianism."

Zhu Biao shook his head and emphasized again, "I don't want you to learn more about Confucianism, and I don't want you to become a sour or corrupt Confucian. You are not the same as Yun Yun and Yun Xi. They can study with great Confucianists and famous officials, and later become scholars. Good king. You are the grandson of the emperor, and Daming should be in your hands in the future."

Zhu Xiongying was even more helpless, and also a little depressed, "I went to pick up Ruzhen's flying fish suit, and it kept making noises in my ears all day long!"

Old Zhu and Zhu Biao also laughed, they were used to the older Zhu Xiongying often saying some 'damn things' in front of them.In fact, why don't they know that this is the grandson of the emperor making them happy.

As for things like the emperor's grandson learning Confucianism, in fact, as the emperor, there are some things that he really can't help, and sometimes he needs to set an example.

Old Zhu Yijie sits on the throne as a commoner, and he needs to express his attitude.Preferential treatment of scholars, the prince and the emperor's grandson learn Confucianism, this is also a signal to the subjects of the world.

Even though in private Lao Zhu did not allow the prince and grandson to study Confucianism too deeply, it did not prevent him from showing to the outside world that the prince and grandson were familiar with Confucian classics and were benevolent and generous.After all, this is Tianjia, and many people are staring at it.

Lao Zhu flipped through the list and asked, "What's so special about these goods?"

"Grandson sent someone to find the old man of the Qianyuan Shishi Shipping Department. They are the goods that the Japanese people like and can be sold at high prices." Zhu Xiongying said immediately, "In addition to these merchants, there are also the Qianyuan Shishi Shipping Bureau officials. Sun Chen sent someone to ask them one by one."

Lao Zhu nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "You may not know that although our big ship is big, on the great river and ocean, a single wave can capsize the big ship."

"Naturally, my grandson knows that my grandson sent someone to find the former Yuan guide, not to mention that I have a lot of Ming Dynasty sailors." Zhu Xiongying immediately said excitedly, "Grandpa, when our Da Ming soldiers chased and killed Ryukyu, there is It's close to Japan."

Zhu Biao also put down the memorial at this time. Like Lao Zhu, he listened carefully to Zhu Xiongying's explanations, and to Zhu Xiongying's plans and preparations.

From time to time, I asked some questions to examine Zhu Xiongying's preparations, to see if Zhu Xiongying really understood this matter, or to see if Zhu Xiongying was deceived by his subordinates.

Old Zhu was very happy, because his emperor's grandson had obviously done in-depth research on the re-opening of the Shibo Department.

Not only sent people to find some materials from the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, but also sent people to find some officials, guides, merchants, etc. in the Yuan Dynasty, and compared and confirmed them one by one. The theoretical work can be said to be Quite rich and careful.

Therefore, selling items to Japan seems to be really profitable, and it has a huge profit.

What kind of items should be prepared, where and with whom should be traded, and what price should be, all of which are recorded by Taisun.It doesn't matter even if there is a slight discrepancy, after all, it is not Qianyuan now.

How to navigate the ship, what risks may be encountered at sea, or the loss of ships, cargo, etc., these possible potential risks, Zhu Xiongying also listed them one by one.

There are certain risks for sure, but it seems that the profit may be higher, so it is naturally worthwhile.

What's more, in Lao Zhu's view, he doesn't necessarily need how much money his grandson can make for the royal private treasury. What he mainly wants to see is his grandson's performance in this matter.

Putting down the memorial with a smile, Old Zhu said, "Ying'er, if we open a shipping department, the Japanese pirates along the coast will surely come back. The remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang will cause trouble if we think about it."

"Grandfather, I don't care about those remnants for the time being. I have been in the Ming Dynasty for twenty years. Those people are either old or dead, how many people can there be?!" Zhu Xiongying immediately replied, "Besides, we can't give up eating because of choking. My grandson wants to ask for Taoism's order and patrol the southeast coastal defense."

Lao Zhu immediately interrupted and said, "After two years, you will first work on your Shibo department. After two years, I will let Tang and that old guy accompany you to patrol the coastal defense. At that time, I will not need you for the water and sea transportation of Ming Dynasty." Come take over."

Zhu Biao smiled, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "I have to prepare for the Northern Expedition and move the capital for my father, but I don't have time to fight Japanese pirates with you. Whether this city's shipping department can really reopen depends on your ability."

Zhu Xiongying was happy, and immediately got down on the ground, "Thank you Lord Long En, the Supreme Emperor will last forever! My sons thank you Father, long live Father, long live, long live!"

Old Zhu smiled and raised his foot gently, kicking Zhu Xiongying down, "We won't abdicate, we won't let you be the crown prince! Every day, I hope we die soon!"

"That can't be done. We have agreed that the grandson will accompany the grandpa to tour the world at that time!" Zhu Xiongying got up and leaned towards Lao Zhu and said, "When the time comes, the father will be in charge of the court, and the emperor will be the emperor." Take the crown prince to tour the world. Let's go to Taishan to enshrine Zen, and finally we will go to Fengyang's hometown."

Old Zhu pointed to Zhu Xiongying, and said with a smile, "Well, if we abdicate one day, and you don't accompany us to tour the world then, let's see how we deal with you!"
