eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 66 Entering Beijing!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a grand court meeting will be held in the palace, so officials still have to go to work.That day was also the most boring time for Zhu Houzhao, and he had to pay attention to various etiquettes from morning till night.

There will be a five-day holiday after this.

There are really not many holidays, because Zhu Yuanzhang is not good to these officials.

In Daming Mansion, Wang Yue, who was charged with the will, did not dare to stay at home for a long time, and went north to Beijing after the first day of the Chinese New Year.Once the road ice melts in winter, it will be difficult to walk. When we hurried to the capital, everyone in the capital was preparing for the Lantern Festival.

In a carriage outside the city gate, Wang Zhi lifted the blue curtain. She was 15 years old in the new year, but she had no memory of the capital at all. This was the first sight.

"It's a mighty city."

The girl's eyes were crescent moons, her face was red, and her hair fluttered in the wind.

But Wang Yue was much more silent,
For him, this is the moment when things are really changing.

"Enter the city!"

So he went straight to the palace gate.

His ability to recover this time is largely due to the prince's credit.

For Wang Yue, since Li Guang was no longer there, finding a new backer in the palace was a top priority, and the crown prince was obviously the most suitable candidate.

In terms of being favored by the emperor, how could Li Guang compare with the prince.

However, if the relationship between the general of the frontier army and the prince is too close, it is taboo in the officialdom.

However, in this dynasty, the emperor only had such a son, and he himself gave the prince more face than the ministers.

"Minister Wang Yue, see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

……

……

East Palace,

Liu Jin and the crown prince reported: "Your Highness, Wang Yue has already entered the palace."

"He arrived in the capital so soon, so he is in a hurry."

"His Royal Highness has made great efforts for him. I think Mr. Wang is also working hard to make new achievements, so that he can live up to the kindness of the court and His Highness. Therefore, he naturally dare not delay the time to enter Beijing."

"It's hard for an old man to go on such a journey in such a cold day. Did he come alone?"

"It doesn't seem to be. The fan from Dongchang came to report. Wang Yue also brought his family members. There are two grandsons and a granddaughter." Seeing that His Highness couldn't understand, Liu Jin explained: "I guess I want to go to the Imperial Academy. "

Oh, Zhu Houzhao understood.Wang Jia followed his father to study in the Imperial College.

"The granddaughter too?"

"Granddaughter's words..." Liu Jin panicked for a moment, but said honestly, "Your Highness, forgive me. I will ask someone to check it out."

"No need." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, he would not monitor his subjects to this extent, and Wang Yue was already at this age.

at this time,
Wang Yue was meeting with him in Qianqing Palace, probably he was the one who said something to thank the emperor for his kindness, and the emperor also gave some encouragement.The old general was still hesitating for a while whether he should just go to the East Palace so brightly,

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi said directly: "General Wang has been working hard all the way here, but there is no rush to go back to rest. After you retire, go to the East Palace to meet my prince."

Wang Yue was a little surprised by these words, so he also looked up at the emperor's expression.

It was found that the 'faces' of the people on the throne were somewhat smug and proud.It seems that there is a good thing, and I can't wait to show it to others.

"This time Aiqing was able to recover smoothly, thanks to the crown prince. The crown prince and I are one body. It is unfortunate that he is not here when you come today, but you are also his subject, so you should go and see him."

Wang Yue stayed away from the court for a long time,

Unexpectedly, the emperor and the prince have become the same political symbol.

"My minister, lead the decree."

Emperor Hongzhi was like this. He never thought of limiting the power of the prince, and he was even trying to find a way to show the majesty for the prince.For him, he is not worried about this. What he is more worried about is that he failed to leave a qualified heir for Daming.

When Wang Yue arrived at the East Palace,
I found an extravagant, small-looking young man who was seriously practicing calligraphy in front of the desk,

This made the picture of the letter appear in his mind, thinking of the word: I want to practice.

Wang Yue is a general, but actually he was born as a Jinshi, and he knows what the literati play.

"Chen Wang Yue, see Your Highness!"

Zhu Houzhao did not play the trick of walking backwards,
It was thanks to him that Wang Yue was able to recover. It can be said that he was also responsible for himself.So there is no need to place yourself in a particularly low position, as if you are begging for help.

In the final analysis, it is not enough to be able to get things done.

Second, after all, Wang Yue has done something that dislikes the "reward for meritorious service" is too thin, which is not in line with the courtiers' etiquette.To a certain extent, he is considered a titan, so if his posture is too low, it will only fuel his arrogance.In the end, the power of the prince himself is not enough for him.

So he just sat and watched Wang Yue finish giving the gift quietly.

"Be flat."

The two looked at each other.

Zhu Houzhao was amazed at the old man's heroic spirit despite his age.

Wang Yue was amazed at the prince's stability that was not commensurate with his age.My heart is also full of other people's evaluation of this prince... Naturally, I dare not neglect,

"I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness! If it wasn't for His Highness's respect and trust, why would I be here today?"

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, no matter how "confident and heroic" you are, it's okay if you are honest with me.

After thinking about it for a while, I said, "I must recommend you to be the chief officer of the three sides. It's not for the sake of your king and general. It's for the court, for the Ming Dynasty, and for the people at the border."

This was the first time Wang Yue heard the prince speak, the words were not peculiar, but the tone of the voice was full of the momentum of a superior.

Because Zhu Houzhao has been the prince for several months.

"I understand that if I go to the northwest again this time, I will definitely guard the northwest for the emperor and His Highness. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I have fought against the Tatars for a lifetime, and I still have the confidence to be confident that I will not be defeated by the enemy. .”

"How to fight is a matter for the generals of the frontier army and you, the commander-in-chief of the three sides. I don't want to talk too much about it." Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "What I want to talk about is another thing... I gave you a few days ago. The general has sent a letter saying that he is determined to work hard and revive the glory of Ming Dynasty. Right where you are kneeling, there is also an official of Ming Dynasty, a big man crying and asking me to promise that he will become a generation of sage king in the future. In fact, there is only one meaning, Daming can no longer So bullied by the Tatars."

Wang Yue's heart skipped a beat, the prince's words hit the itch in his heart!
"The gentlemen of Zhan's Mansion have now told me many examples of the Han Dynasty being slaughtered by others in the middle and late stages. The generals and ministers of the court and frontier army believed that the biggest obstacle in a battle was the rear. Ben Gong doesn't want to hear the same story in my Ming Dynasty, so I have to trust the general, and the general can act with confidence when he goes to the border. There were some treacherous officials in the court when Emperor Xianzong was, and no one would make decisions for you at that time...

... Now, I am the master for you! "

The eyes of Wang Yue who said this were sore, years of grievances welled up in his heart, and he almost shed tears.

"Your Majesty's kindness to me is as great as a mountain, and I really don't know how to repay Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Why don't you know? In the 11th year of Hongzhi, you reported a great victory to the capital, and you will repay the favor!"

Wang Yue was also emotional, and said like an oath: "This minister is very old, and the days to come are not long. This time, it is also luck to steal the sky. The moment I received the imperial edict, I knew my heart. If this time If you don’t hit the enemy hard, you will never pay back!”

swore to die...

Zhu Houzhao took out a letter from the desk, "This general has it."

Liu Jin took it and gave it to Wang Yue.

The old general's expression changed instantly when he saw the paper, "Your Highness...is this...?"

"My palace said not to let the rear constrain the general. This is not an easy sentence. There are constant disputes in the court, and all parties have complicated thoughts. This is one of them. But... leave the battle in the court to me, and the foreign enemies The Army Formation is handed over to you. Let's cooperate with each other and return him a bright and bright Northwest!"

At this point, Wang Yue was really shocked by this Highness.

The outside world said that the Prince of Ming Ming had no plans to spare. In the past, he just listened to it, but now he knows that anyone who fights with this man will be in great trouble!Before the others went, the prince was already thinking about things over there.

"Weichen, take the decree!" Wang Yue put away the note, and shouted these words with full vigor.
