First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao stood in the pavilion and looked at the houses, most of which were empty, and he would slowly enrich himself when he got married and took concubines.

The weather was a bit cold, Da Shuang'er came out holding a silver embroidered dragon and white fox cloak, which was a birthday present from Muying last year.

Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Jin who was on the side: "You don't have to call yourself a slave anymore, you can call yourself a minister!"

Liu Jin hurriedly bent down: "Thank you for your kindness, but the slave is only the chief eunuch of the fifth rank, how dare he call himself a minister!"

Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't know that all his eunuchs were from the fifth rank! "

Zhu Biao asked with a smile: "You can't call yourself a minister even after you've passed the fifth rank? You guys are trying to trick me into giving you a promotion, right?"

Liu Jin knew that the crown prince was just joking, so she replied with a playful smile: "This palace stipulates that only the servants of the fourth rank can call themselves ministers. If the master is kind, maybe the slaves will soon be able to call themselves ministers."

Zhu Biao shook his head: "Is there a favored eunuch on Father's side?"

Liu Jin replied: "Grandpa Huang is not willing to use them, so naturally he doesn't favor them. Thanks to the blessing of the Lord, the servants, who are the managers of the fifth rank, can also be called brothers and sisters with the chief managers of the four ranks."

Zhu Biao nodded knowingly. The eunuchs are all smart, and Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, who naturally knows that nothing can be done, is conveying goodwill to him through Liu Jin.

Zhu Biao looked at Liu Jin with a smile: "You are already brothers and sisters with the general manager, why didn't you ask them to support you, are you bragging to me?"

Liu Jin replied: "The slaves are the master's slaves, so of course the master has the final say on what to do, so it's their turn to help!

Zhu Biao nodded, this is Liu Jin's cleverness, he is the prince's personal eunuch anyway, he can get to the fourth rank if he wants to climb, but he would rather be in the fifth rank, and wait for Zhu Biao to promote him .

Zhu Biao was not disgusted, Liu Jin wanted to use him, so he naturally hoped that he would be smarter.

Zhu Biao said: "You've already said that, I can only reward you, go ahead, and tell the head of the ceremonial supervisor, how can the personal eunuch of the palace just start from the fifth rank, and mention the fourth rank to be in charge of the father-in-law!

Liu Jin hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times: "Mr. Liu Jin, thank you for your kindness!"

Zhu Biao didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards his inner hall. The white fox cloak fluttered and just swept across Liu Jin's lowered head...

After Zhu Biao had gone far, Liu Jin slowly got up. He knew that the crown prince was satisfied. After serving him for so long, he naturally knew that his crown prince didn't mind the people around him playing tricks. Be smart about what you do and everything will be fine.

Just like this time, if he was the one who went to the supervisor of ceremonies by himself, he would be at the fourth rank at most, but now the crown prince said that he is the fourth rank, even in the palace, besides the masters, Liu Jin is also number one characters.

Liu Jin carefully arranged the people on duty at night. When it was cold, the amount of charcoal fire and the location of the charcoal fire at night should not be careless. Seeing that it was getting late, she hurried to report to the Rites Supervisor.

After returning to the room, Zhu Biao drank a bowl of nourishing medicinal food, read a book for a while, and then fell asleep at ease. He still doesn't know what will happen tomorrow!

When he got up the next day, he saw Liu Jin who had changed his clothes and came to serve him. Zhu Biao joked a few words, got up and had a meal, and then went to watch his younger brothers study. There is a place to play, but without a big brother to lead them, they are a little scared.

At noon, looking at the expectant eyes of his younger brothers, Zhu Biao said a few words to the gentlemen, and then asked them to play in the Royal Garden in the afternoon, but they must not make trouble!

In the afternoon, Zhu Biao met several officials of the East Palace, all of whom were middle and lower levels, a little depressed, and had made outstanding contributions when Zhu Yuanzhang started his family. Now he can only rely on the prince, hoping to have a relationship with the hidden mansion in the future.

As time went by, although Zhu Biao was a prince, he was young after all. Before he could stir up the situation, those ministers would not come to seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang, a young prince, when he was at the height of his spring and autumn.

These Zhu Biao had awakened a long time ago, so they still lived as usual every day.

In the blink of an eye, it was April, and there was a good news from the Northern Expeditionary Army. This good news has not stopped since last year. The trend of the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty really shocked everyone.

At the beginning of November last year, when Xu Da's army arrived at Xiapi, he ordered Zhang Xingzu to lead an army from Xuzhou to the north to attack Jining and Dongping. At this time, Wang Xuan, Wang Xin and his son surrendered and rebelled, and went to Juzhou to recruit soldiers in an attempt to prevent Zhang Xingzu from going north.

Xu Da immediately marched into Yizhou, Wang Xuan was killed, and Wang Xin fled to Shanxi. The Yuan army in nearby Yizhou, Caozhou, Haizhou, Shuyang, Rizhao, Ganyu, Yishui and other places fell upon hearing the wind.

Xu Da stopped in Yizhou for a while, ordered Han Zheng to guard the Yellow River, and led his own army to attack Yidu. At the end of November, Puyan, the defender of Yuan Yidu, was defeated by all his strength, so he conquered Yidu. Xu Da took advantage of the victory to capture Shouguang, Linzi, Changle, Gaoyuan and other places. Yuanle Andong, Changshan, Xincheng and other places all belonged to each other one after another.

At the beginning of December, Zhang Xingzu went to Dongping, forced Yuan general Feng De away, chased him to Dong'e, Anshan, forced Yuan generals Chen Bi, Du Tianyou, Jiang Xing and others to surrender with their troops, and then besieged Jining. Just run away.

In the first ten days of December, Xu Da led his soldiers to Jinan, Yuan general Doerji surrendered, Mizhou Putai, and Yuan generals in Zouping also asked to surrender. Xu Da decided to continue to seek land to the east, ordered Fu Youde to attack Laiyang, led his troops back to Yidu, and attacked Dengzhou and Laizhou in the east. Yuan Huizong saw that the situation in Shandong was critical, so he ordered Prime Minister Yisu of Shuyou, Tuo Heqi of Taiwei Zhiyuan, Hu Lindai of Pingzhang of Zhongshu, and Tulu, Prime Minister of Zuo of Shaanxi Province, to march into Shandong. However, all the generals did not obey the order. .

In March of the first year of Hongwu, after basically occupying Shandong, Xu Da attacked Bianliang (now Kaifeng, Henan) from Jining. The soldiers of Jiangling attacked Nanyang, Henan in the north, and responded to the main force of the Northern Expedition.

At the end of March, when Xu Dajin arrived at Chenqiao, Li Keyi, the guard of Bianliang in Yuan Dynasty, drove the army and the people westward at night, and Zuo Junbi, the general of Yuan Dynasty, led his troops to surrender. After Xu Da entered Bianliang, he immediately led his troops to attack Luoyang through the south west of Zhongwan.
