Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 299 Old Zhu Kaihai, Zhu Biao is sick
"Yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly, "Fourth son of a bastard, I'm afraid that the overseas vassal states he conquered so hard will be taken back to Daming by future emperors!"

Zhu Biao sneered directly, with a face full of disapproval, "Father, those overseas vassal states are barbaric and barren, and no officials are willing to go to become officials. Where does the fourth brother worry?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "Then why is it rumored in the entire Ming Dynasty that the army of Yan Palace suffered heavy losses in Japan?"

"This?"

Zhu Biao was surprised, "Why are they here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored it, but continued to ask, "Biaoer, what do you think?"

"Father, the fourth child can win overseas feudal states and hand over so much money, my child can't object."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, "It's just dad, if you want to make this imperial edict, it's going to open the sea!"

"Then open the sea!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly, "The reason we banned the sea is to prevent internal thieves from colluding with those Japanese pirates and causing chaos in Ming Dynasty.

Now, the fourth child can invade the Wa country and earn money for my Ming Dynasty, so what is the ban on the sea doing?
Just right, aren't the third and the others envious of the fourth?Let them also take their respective guards and go to sea to conquer those vassal states!

However, the youngest and the others wanted to conquer those vassal states, so they couldn't delay protecting the Northern Yuan thieves!

No more than 2 soldiers will be sent to conquer the vassal state! "

"Father is wise!"

Zhu Biao quickly flattered him.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "However, there are still so many thieves on the sea, those merchants can't go to sea for business for the time being!"

"Yes, Dad!"

"..."

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty have reached an agreement.

The matter of allowing Prince Daming to lead his troops to attack the feudal kingdom was also passed very quickly.

As soon as the imperial decree was issued, the princes and merchants and gentry of the entire Ming Dynasty were all excited.

As for not allowing merchants to go to sea for business and trade, although merchants and gentry complained a few words, they didn't care much.

Anyway, the Forbidden Sea has opened a hole.

Even during the reign of this Majesty, the forbidden sea will not be lifted completely.

However, how many years will this majesty remain on the throne?

After His Royal Highness ascended the throne...

Just when everyone looked longingly at the prince, the prince suddenly fell ill in the prince's east palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang rushed into the East Palace with the two tigers in a hurry.

Prince Zhu Biao was lying on the bed with a pale face, weak and cold sweat was still breaking out on his head.

"Biao'er was fine a few days ago, why did he suddenly fall ill?"

A group of imperial doctors and officials of the Eastern Palace all knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang in fear.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince should be feeling cold occasionally, and his pulse is weak..."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the imperial doctor's long speech very seriously, and then said: "As you said, Biao'er's illness is not serious?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the diagnosis of Weichen and others, His Highness the Crown Prince did suffer from an occasional cold, coupled with long-term toil, excessive exhaustion of mind, physical loss, and lack of good rest, that's why he fell ill!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little relieved, "So, you are not allowed to show the prince the memorabilia these few days, and you must let the prince take good care of it!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

All the subordinates of the Eastern Palace responded quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to Zhu Biao again, and said, "Biao'er, take a good rest these few days, and don't worry about court affairs!"

Zhu Biao blamed himself, "My son made my father worry about it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "We are impatient and have made you suffer all the time. You shouldn't be asked to inspect all parts of Daming so intensively, and you should be asked to review so many memorials!"

"Father, as the Prince of Ming Dynasty, these are my responsibilities."

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, and said: "Father, don't punish the second child anymore, the evil things the second child did were all bewitched by thieves, he has already realized his mistake.

Moreover, the second child is also the leader of the kings of my Ming Dynasty, and the patriarchal order of my Ming Dynasty! "

"Humph!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed, "Biao'er, take a good rest. We must make him remember for such a big mistake.

Otherwise, when he returns to Prince Qin's mansion, he will inevitably start exploiting the people again.

Moreover, other princes will follow suit..."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao's expression relaxed.

……

Prince Zhu Biao fell ill and had nothing to do with court for several days, and soon spread to Yan Wang's mansion.

Hearing the news, Guo An subconsciously sighed.

"Oh, what should come is still coming!"

"What's the matter, sir?"

On the side, a trace of doubt flashed in Liu Baiwei's eyes.

Guo An said: "Sister, after the New Year's Eve, we will go to Japan!"

Liu Baiwei asked: "Husband, didn't you say that after the New Year's Day, you can still rest in Beiping Mansion for a month?"

Guo An was taken aback, and quickly said: "I can rest for half a month!"

Liu Baiwei nodded slightly, and said, "Then husband, please take Yuelan into the room before you go to Wa Kingdom!"

"what?"

Guo An was surprised.

"Husband, Yuelan grew up with her concubine since she was a child, if her husband doesn't accept her, she can only become an old girl and be released from the mansion!

The concubine is really reluctant to part with Yuelan, and Yuelan's figure and appearance are not bad, why has her husband never touched Yuelan for so many years? "

"This……"

"It seems that Husband doesn't hate Yuelan, so let Yuelan serve Husband tonight!"

"..."

……

Just when Guo An suddenly began to enjoy the blessings of Qi people.

Shi Zhufu, the head of Yanwang's mansion, led a group of clerks in the head of the history department, and began to be busy day and night.

Since Yan Wangfu began to attack Goryeo.

Half of the clerks of the Shisi, the chief of Yanwangfu, were transferred to Korea.

However, the government affairs of Yan Wangfu Chief Shi Si not only did not decrease, but increased day by day.

Especially when it comes to the New Year's Eve, it is not only necessary to count and audit various account books.

Various benefits and rewards will also be issued.

At this time, Zhu Fu would hire dozens of scholars from the academy to help.

But despite this, they have their hands full.

"My minister sees Your Highness!"

Zhu Fu came to the Palace of Cunxin with a face full of reluctance, how much time would be wasted on this trip.

Zhu Di didn't know Zhu Fu's worries, but said directly: "Zhu Qing, we are going to build a cement road from Zhangjiawan Wharf to Dagukou after the beginning of spring. How much money, cement, and labor will be needed? Regarding the matter, Zhu Qing and Gongzheng Institute will come up with a charter for us as soon as possible!"

"what?"

Zhu Fu was shocked, "Your Highness, you want to pave such a long concrete road?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Fu said, "Your Highness, the construction of the cement road is a great thing for the people around.

However, the labor and cement required for such a long cement road are days. "

Zhu Di said: "So, let's make a charter."

"For labor, if my Beiping Mansion can't hire so many people, I can let Guo Qing go to Korea, or capture them from Japan."

"Using Gao Linu and Japanese slaves?"

Zhu Fu frowned slightly, "Your Highness, the number of people I will employ in Beiping Mansion still needs to be negotiated with the officials and gentry around Cement Avenue. It is difficult to determine the number these days with only humble ministers and a group of scribes."

Zhu Di said: "In this case, let them know first, and then calculate it after the New Year's Eve."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhu Fu responded.

Then, thinking of something, Zhu Fu couldn't help but said again: "His Royal Highness, the government affairs of the Chief History Department these days are too many, and the scholars who were summoned from the academy are very unfamiliar, I wonder if it is possible to recall Guo Changshi Palace?"

"Guo Qing?"

Zhu Di frowned slightly, "We have already agreed with all of them, and after the New Year's Eve, we can't go back on our promises.

However, Zhu Qing can continue to recruit some academy scholars as scribes.

Years later, my Prince Yan's Mansion will continue to attack the Wa Kingdom, and we need more scribes! "

Now, Zhu Fu's expression changed drastically.

"Your Highness, in the past few years, Changshi Sike has been a senior official, and they were all taken to Koryo and Japan by Guo Changshi.

Nowadays, although Weichen recruits more scribes.

However, those clerks are very unfamiliar, and the humble minister worked hard to teach them.

But now, seeing that Weichen is about to train them to maturity, they are going to be transferred to Korea and Japan?

Why didn't Guo Changshi personally train the scribes, so as to torment the humble officials? "

"Your Highness, during the few days of New Year's Eve, the ministers and those clerks have to be busy with various government affairs every day, and they don't go home until midnight.

The next day, I had to come early again to be busy with government affairs.

Weichen and the others are already exhausted, but now Guo An not only wants to pave the concrete road, but also wants to take away the scribes that Weichen has trained for this year again, Weichen refuses to accept! "

Zhu Fu's reaction was so intense, Zhu Di couldn't help but startled.

"Don't worry, Zhu Qing. Guo Qing will only bring a few scribes with him when he goes to the Wa country. At that time, Zhu Qing will give him half of the capable scribes and a few new scribes, and let Guo Qing train him!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhu Fu responded sullenly, and asked again: "Your Highness, I wonder if it is possible to call Guo Changshi to the palace to help the ministers to share some government affairs?"

Zhu Di said: "This matter is all up to Zhu Qing!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

A gleam of joy finally appeared on Zhu Fu's face.

When Zhu Fu left, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past two years, Zhu Di has seen Chang Shisi's huge account book several times, and every time he looks at it, his scalp tingles.

It is also understandable for Zhu Fu and other officials of the Chief History Department.

……

"Let us go to the palace to be on duty?"

Guo Mansion, the main hall.

Guo An looked listlessly at the familiar Baihu in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Didn't Your Highness allow me and others to rest until after the New Year's Eve?"

The hundred households hurriedly said: "Guo Changshi, Zhu Changshi asked His Highness for instructions on this matter..."

"Ahh~"

Before Baihu finished speaking, Guo An couldn't help but sneezed several times.

Afterwards, he said weakly: "Go back and tell Your Highness that I have been overworked these past few days, and I occasionally feel cold, and my body is very weak. I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the palace to be on duty, so I asked Your Highness for a few days off."

"This……"

The hundred households glanced at Guo An suspiciously, with a look of perplexity.

Guo An shuddered coldly again, and directed to Er Niu who was beside him: "Er Niu, master, I have chills again, quickly help me back to the bed!
In addition, make more stoves, the weather is really cold! "

"Yes, sir!"

Er Niu hurriedly supported Guo An, and walked to the back house.

In the main hall, Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, bowed his hands respectfully towards the hundred households, and said: "Please forgive me, the general, my master has been exhausted for so long as a civil servant to conquer the Japanese kingdom.

Within a few days after returning, he began to fall ill, and he has not recovered from his recuperation until now.

Therefore, please forgive me, Your Highness! "

A trace of helplessness flashed in Baihu's eyes, but he didn't dare to make too many mistakes, so he had to go back and report to Zhu Fu.

"Guo An is sick?"

Zhu Fu also looked suspicious.

However, this matter was originally his name of King Yan, and he wanted to lure Guo An to the palace and share some government affairs with them.

Now that Guo An is sick, he can only give up!

……

　Ask for a monthly pass!
