Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 4 The Palace Birthday Banquet
"Zhu San?"

Before Zhu Changyuan could speak, Ah Jiu had already stood in front of him. They all knew the person who came. He was a servant of King Bohai's palace, and now he was probably the housekeeper of the palace.

Zhu San, the uncle who followed Zhu Changyuan before.Now that the master has become a prince, his status will naturally rise accordingly.

"Hoo..." Zhu San got off his horse, with a smile on his face, looked at Zhu Changyuan, and saluted politely: "Hi, Mr. Six." Then he looked at the servants who were plowing the land, with a smile on their faces. There was even a flash of sarcasm, but it was quickly hidden by him.

Fortunately, Zhu San didn't notice the iron plow for plowing the land.

"Hello." Zhu Changyuan didn't dare to neglect. Although he was the son of the palace and the other party was just a servant, speaking of it, he was a hundred times better than himself.Don't say anything else, let's talk about the two hundred acres of land in front of me. Zhu San, a servant, probably doesn't think much of it.

"Sixth son, today happens to be the 40th birthday of the prince. They are all out of the palace. The prince misses you very much. He wants me to come and pick you up."

Zhu San pointed to the two horses he rode: "I know you have no footsteps, and I have prepared them for you. Let's go, General Jin, the general of Ningyuan, will also be here today. The scene is lively!"

Zhu Changyuan nodded, and gave some instructions to the Wang family, especially telling them to use the wheat seeds he brought over when planting the land, and followed Zhu San on horseback.

The Bohai Palace was originally not in Liaodong, but in the remote Xiangtan area. Due to some reasons, the Bohai King family was moved here to guard the border. It has been rooted here for three generations, and it can be regarded as half of the Liao people.As for Zhu Changyuan's uncle Zhu Yifan's generation, he had already established a broad foundation in Liao, with countless fields and more than five hundred soldiers.

Zhu Yifan's Bohai Palace is not in Ningyuan City, but in the Gaotaibao behind Ningyuan, which belongs to the rear of Ningjin's defense line. Basically speaking, there are not too many wars, and only when the Tartars attack in an all-out way will they occasionally fight here.

The location of Gaotaibao is considered a small town. At a very moment, a palace is located in the small town. In the Ming Dynasty, the Bohai Palace was the number one.However, this is the emperor's decree, which reflects the determination of the royal family and the soldiers to guard the country together. Even if there are 1 people who are unwilling to do so, there is nothing the King of Bohai can do.

Gaotaibao was not too far away from the mountain where Zhu Changyuan was, and it was only two hours away on horseback, which was why Zhu San was able to rush to invite him early in the morning.

Bohai Palace, in the middle of the entire Gaotai Fort, is surrounded by fortifications built by the Ming army, which look extremely strong.However, Zhu Changyuan didn't think so. Through the understanding of the past few days and the memory of the original owner who didn't know where he went, he learned that it is now the 11th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, which is the spring of 1637 AD.

At this time, there were only seven full years left before the Ming Dynasty fell.

Seven years later, Li Zicheng would break through the city of Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen would hang himself.

However, Zhu Changyuan was not too worried, because no matter what, seven years is still a long time for an ordinary person. During this period of time, he can do many things. With this magical golden finger, Even in this troubled world, it is not impossible to develop a force of its own.

Entering the high gate of the palace, even though it was still a chilly spring season, one could clearly feel a warm atmosphere.

Musical instruments played non-stop, and the banquet tables in the courtyard were full. Although the banquet had not yet started, the aroma of wine and meat could already be smelled.

"Sixth son Zhu Changyuan has arrived, I wish the prince a thousand years of prosperity..." Just after entering the inner courtyard, he heard a young man singing promises shouting at the door, almost making Zhu Changyuan jump in fright.

There is a red table in front of him, and on the table is a piece of red paper with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.An old pedant sat behind the table, raised his eyes to look at Zhu Changyuan, and asked, "May the sixth son offer a gift?"

Zhu Changyuan had prepared it long ago, and casually took out a high-end jade pendant, threw it to the old man and said, "That's it, my father gave it when he was around, and gave it to the prince as a birthday gift, wishing him a thousand years."

The old pedant took the jade pendant and glanced at it, and said loudly: "The sixth son of the Bohai Palace, give Hetian jade pendant, and wish the prince a thousand years."

The old pedant shouted this, but it attracted several hearty laughter. A young man who was one or two years younger than Zhu Changyuan came out from the inner door and said, "It turns out that Brother Six has arrived. It’s so shabby, why don’t you bring a jade pendant with you.”

While speaking, the man walked up, grabbed the jade pendant in the old scholar's hand, and said: "Don't put it in the account first, I have prepared Sixth Brother's gift and paid for him. This thing was given to him by my uncle and left for him. He groped for a green emerald ring finger from his chest and handed it over, "This is the ring finger that the Burmese king paid tribute to in the previous dynasty. The emperor gave it to grandpa. Today it is given to the second uncle, and it can be regarded as returning to the palace."

"Seventh brother, what are you doing?" Zhu Changyuan was a little displeased, but slightly moved in his heart.

This seventh younger brother is called Zhu Changning, the second son of the third uncle's family. He has been close to Zhu Changyuan since he was a child. No matter how much Chang Ning helps, he is still a child and can't help much.

"Don't worry about it, you come with me." Zhu Changning took Zhu Changyuan's hand and walked into the innermost small courtyard. With a smile, he pointed to the people in the courtyard and said, "Did you see that? They are all here, so I will send you own."

Zhu Changyuan immediately straightened his clothes, walked up to his second uncle, who is now the King of Bohai, knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed a few times, and said, "My nephew wishes Uncle Wang a thousand years."

"Hehehehe. Well, get up, get up quickly." Bohai King got up and helped Zhu Changyuan up, saying: "My good boy, you have been wronged. However, now that the country is in crisis and the family is feuding, don't be angry. He When the whole Liao Dynasty is recovered, Uncle Wang will definitely give you a big family fortune."

The King of Bohai is 40 years old. He is a big fat man with a white face and no beard.

"My nephew first thanked Uncle Wang."

"Okay, you go and sit over there, there will be a distinguished guest coming soon."

Zhu Changyuan nodded, seeing that there was still a seat next to Zhu Changning, he walked over to sit down, but unexpectedly, a young man in a jade belt and brocade clothes next to him frowned, pulled up the stool and retreated a long distance.

"Brother Chang Yu, what are you doing?" Zhu Changning looked a little displeased.

Zhu Changyu is the son of Bohai King Zhu Yifan, but he is not the eldest son, but only the third son. He is usually arrogant and unpopular in the palace.However, Zhu Changyu can get the favor of only one person, that is the King of Bohai.

Of course, this is also his arrogant capital.

Zhu Yifan has four sons, the eldest son died early, the second son Zhu Changlin, the third son Zhu Changyu, and the fourth son also died young. The fifth is Zhu Changning's brother Zhu Changting, the sixth is Zhu Changyuan himself, and the seventh is Zhu Changning.

Among the younger generation, there are only these seven people.Excluding the two who died early, Zhu Changlin and Zhu Changting served in the army again, leaving only Zhu Changyu and Zhu Changning in the family, and Zhu Changyuan was naturally kicked out of the house long ago.

The reason why he was kicked out of the house early was because the King of Bohai didn't like him. Zhu Changyuan's father was the son of the royal family, and then died for no apparent reason.

"Hehe." Zhu Changyu shook his head: "I don't sit with country bumpkins." He stretched out his hand to pull a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl beside him, and said, "Cousin, let's sit across from each other."

The young girl has bright eyes and bright teeth, her little face is red and cute, her skin is delicate and as white as snow, and she is already a beauty embryo at a young age.

However, to Zhu Changyuan's disappointment, the woman's face was even more arrogant than Zhu Changyu's. She pouted her mouth and looked at him, raised her face slightly and said, "Well, I don't like bumpkins. I don't even like a birthday present." Have someone else do it for you.”

Zhu Changyuan shook his head mockingly, heaved a deep sigh of relief, and didn't have any experience with them.Alas, if you don't have the confidence to gain experience with others, if you fight, you won't succeed, if you slap your face, you don't have the capital.

The rest is just soy sauce.hehe.

"Bang bang bang..." There were a few gunshots outside, and then a hearty laugh came: "My lord, Lao Jin, I'm here to bother you."

"Hahahaha." Before Lao Jin showed his face, King Bohai stood up early, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and personally invited a general in armor to the inner courtyard.

As soon as this person arrived, all the prestigious people sitting in the courtyard stood up and greeted him.

"General Jin." King Bohai pointed at General Jin with a smile, "The general of Ningyuan City is also the favorite general of Governor Wu's subordinate. Let me tell you a secret. I heard that General Jin will soon be promoted to the commander-in-chief."

General Jin was a little embarrassed, took off the outermost [-]% of his armor and sat on a chair, while a group of soldiers held the armor in their hands.

"My lord is being polite, hahahaha, Mr. Jin is not hypocritical anymore. The matter of the deputy commander is basically settled. But the official position does not matter, and the purpose of going to the battlefield is to kill the enemy and serve the country and keep one side safe." Speaking of this, the tone A little heavy: "Mr. Jin is ashamed. After years of fighting on the battlefield, the country and the land were not kept, but the officials are getting bigger and bigger. Every time I think about this, cold sweat runs down my back. I have failed the grace of God."

After hearing the words of General Jin, Zhu Changyuan secretly admired him, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a famous general surnamed Jin in the late Ming Dynasty, so he asked Zhu Changning, "What's the origin of this guy?"

Zhu Changning just said that he didn't know what he ate, and he lowered his head and leaned into Zhu Changyuan's ear and said, "Jin Guofeng, Ning Yuan's general, is a strong general. Now he is Wu Ahheng's general, and I heard that he will be promoted to deputy commander soon."

"Jin Guofeng?" Zhu Changyuan shook his head, he had never heard of this person before.
