Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 90 Old Zhu is dying?

Just after the 18th year of Hongwu passed, Lan Yu, who had been idle at home for more than half a year, received a message from the Prince's Mansion, saying that Zhu Biao was looking for him.

Lan Yu, who got the letter, of course went straight to the Prince's Mansion without stopping.

What Lan Yu didn't expect was that the person who met him was not Zhu Biao, but Chen Yunfu who worked in the Prince's Mansion.

"Bachelor?"

"The Marquis of Yongchang is here, please sit down."

Although Lan Yu was very confused, she still sat opposite to Chen Yunfu, and then quietly waited for the latter.

He knew that Chen Yunfu would answer his doubts.

Chen Yunfu refilled Lan Yu's tea and spoke.

"His Royal Highness originally wanted to talk to you in person, Marquis Yongchang, but His Majesty has something urgent to ask the prince, and before leaving, the prince entrusted an official to speak to Marquis Yongchang."

"Grand Maester but please speak up."

"Northern Expedition." Chen Yunfu looked at Lan Yu with piercing eyes, and saw that the latter was excited because of these two words.

"The crown prince said that Marquis Yongchang will go home and prepare for the Northern Expedition."

Get ready, wait to participate in the Northern Expedition!

Just this one sentence almost broke Sapphire's defenses.

He had been idle at Jinling's house for more than half a year, almost thinking that he had been forgotten by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was a grievance every day.

If she really leaves the battlefield, Sapphire doesn't even know the value of being alive.

The emperor did not forget himself, and Daming did not forget himself!
The excited Sapphire almost burst into tears.

"Marquis Yongchang, His Majesty did not plan to use you in this Northern Expedition, but the Crown Prince argued with His Majesty, saying that you, Marquis of Yongchang, would definitely be able to make contributions to the country, so he persuaded His Majesty to appoint you as the right deputy general. "

Right deputy general?

Sapphire's excitement receded a lot.

He didn't dare to think about the position of the general, but he also thought of a left deputy general, but he didn't expect that it was only the third in command of the right deputy general.

"In this Northern Expedition, Song Guogong will be the general and Shen Guogong will be the left deputy general. As for the right deputy general, Yongchanghou, the crown prince fought hard."

Chen Yunfu saw that Lan Yu was a little dissatisfied, and frowned in his heart, this Lan Yu was really dissatisfied.

"Originally, the position of the left deputy general belongs to Duke Ying, and the right deputy general is also Shen Guogong. The crown prince came here because of you, even willing to guarantee the position of prince. Otherwise, how could His Majesty allow Duke Ying to stay in Beijing for training."

Only then did Lan Yu come to her senses, and quickly expressed her opinion: "Please thank the crown prince for Lan's promotion and appreciation, the Grand Scholar. This time, Lan must do his best and will never embarrass the crown prince."

"Marquis Yongchang can do this, that's really great." Chen Yunfu nodded with a smile: "Please rest assured, Marquis Yongchang, I will definitely bring this word to you."

Lan Yu thanked again and again, and finally Chen Yunfu couldn't hold back and said: "If Marquis Yongchang has nothing to do, you can go back and prepare first. Your words must be brought to the crown prince."

"Okay, okay, there is a Bachelor of Labor, there is a Bachelor of Labor."

Lan Yu remained polite for a while before leaving, Chen Yunfu escorted him out of the side hall, watched the latter leave, turned around and went straight to the back house.

"Your Highness, Marquis Yongchang has left."

The emotional prince Zhu Biao never went to the palace at all, and has been drinking tea and reading newspapers in the back house all the time.

"Hmm." Zhu Biao nodded and asked, "Marquis Yongchang, did you say anything?"

"At the beginning, Yongchang Hou was very excited when he learned that he could participate in the Northern Expedition. Later, he was a little disappointed when he heard that he was only the right deputy general. The next official said that this is His Highness, you came here with the guarantee of the crown prince. The Yongchang Hou was very moved and said. I will definitely live up to Your Highness’s high expectations.”

"You can really get rid of Gu, and guarantee him the position of the crown prince."

Zhu Biao said something angrily, but soon he laughed again: "Uncle Gu, you are too angry, and the right deputy general doesn't even look down on you?"

"The Marquis of Yongchang is not inferior to Huo Wei, and he can understand some of his arrogance."

"Yes, Marquis Yongchang has the ability. It's his character. He is even more proud than the Marquis of Champion." Zhu Biao nodded, and sighed, "If it wasn't because he was too proud and arrogant, why couldn't he avoid loneliness? Let you come and talk to him.

If Gu Ruo shows up, he should be self-righteous again, thinking that Guochao cannot do without him. "

Chen Yunfu held back a smile and nodded.

"It's good for you to get Gu Huo out this time, and let him know that this opportunity is not easy to come by. If you still dare not do a good job, Gu No. [-] can't let him go."

Both of them laughed.

"Okay, let's not talk about Marquis Yongchang, now that the new year has just passed, there must be a lot of things."

Zhu Biao changed the subject, and Chen Yunfu naturally adjusted the channel immediately and began to report on state affairs.

"The envoys from Korea, Siam, and Ryukyu have all arrived, and they are now stationed at Honglu Temple. Huang Ting asked for the third time whether His Majesty summoned them."

When talking about the first thing, Chen Yunfu wondered, this time all the missions from various countries have arrived to pay tribute to the New Year, and according to the procedure, they will be summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang, but who knows that at this juncture, Zhu Yuanzhang is actually ill!
And looking at this posture, it seems that the disease is not serious.

Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, it is impossible not to summon missions from various countries all the time.

The news of Zhu Yuanzhang's illness has not been known in Jinling City. If it weren't for the fact that he was with Zhu Biao every day, it would be impossible to know. The news was strictly blocked.

This is also understandable, the Northern Expedition is imminent, and of course it is impossible to spread the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's illness, so as not to cause turmoil in the hearts of the army and the people.

And Chen Yunfu wondered at this point, this is only 18 years of Hongwu, how serious can Lao Zhu get sick again?
"Reply to Huang Ting, don't ask for instructions again and again, just say that the father doesn't want to summon foreign envoys recently."

"Yes."

Chen Yunfu nodded, and continued to say the next thing: "The Ministry of Rites played, the Jiaotian Grand Ceremony has been postponed for many days."

"No more."

Zhu Biao waved his hand, also upset for a while.

Either of these two things had to be done by Zhu Yuanzhang in person, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do it because he was ill. The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple repeatedly urged Zhu Biao to be very annoying.

"If there is any matter that requires Father to appear in person, you can reply that Father is tired and doesn't want to go out recently, write a memorial for the specific affairs and send it to Yuqiansi."

"Yes."

Chen Yunfu nodded, and just about to continue down, a small eunuch ran in hastily, looking panicked, even tripped when crossing the threshold, and fell directly into the room, bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

The little eunuch didn't even care to get up, he just lay down on the ground and said.

"The prince, the prince, enter the palace quickly, enter the palace quickly, the emperor, the emperor will die."

Zhu Biao was so frightened that his three souls were separated from his body. If Jixiang hadn't supported him from behind, he would have fallen down.

When he came back to his senses, Zhu Biao didn't bother to say anything, and ran out.

And Chen Yunfu was also dumbfounded.

There is only one sentence on my mind.

Isn't this only 18 years of Hongwu?
