First Prince of Ming Dynasty

The princes, big and small, were being beaten. Although the little princesses on the side would not be beaten, they were so frightened that they cried and cried. If you can take the opportunity to stand up and sneer a few words, those who are dead will naturally dare not speak out.

However, those who gave birth to princes still had more confidence. After all, it was their own father who beat the prince, and it would not be broken.

But usually this kind of situation doesn't last long. They cried and begged for mercy in front of them with their own hands, but they didn't dare to come forward to intercede. Even if they scolded them together, if they were whipped a few more times by that beautiful wicker whip, they would lose all face.

That's why they would flock to the Kunning Palace and kneel and cry. Empress Ma couldn't be bothered to watch them crying with pear blossoms and rain, so she had to intercede. responsibility to protect them.

As soon as Empress Ma came forward to persuade her, and stepped forward to snatch the willow willow whip from Lao Zhu's hand, the matter was over. Zhu Yuanzhang would not give face to his first wife, and at most stared at his big eyes and mouth like copper bells. Then scold a few more sons of bitches.

Thinking about that picture, it’s a cola. Zhu Biao was able to help persuade him when he was studying, but now that he moved out of the wedding and participated in politics, he seldom went to the Hall of Qin Xue, so he could only rely on Empress Ma to intercede.

Normally, after the Guikulanghao, the three brothers who were implicated innocently would not be reconciled, and would chase after those troublesome little princes with a black face and beat them again. They are already the princes of the king, and those concubines are not qualified He didn't even have the face to stop him, so he could only plead with the mother and concubine of the three brothers.

The palace is dull, only when beating the prince is more lively than the Chinese New Year. Although the eunuchs and maids dare not show it because of the rules, it is indeed a happy scene that is loved...

After Yun Jin healed his numb legs and feet, Zhu Biao was over. The two got out of the car and walked towards the East Palace. Liu Jin, Zhao Huaian and a group of young eunuchs and maids hurriedly followed.

After entering the East Palace, Zhu Biao went straight to the Wenhua Palace, while Yunjin, Zhao Huaian and others went to report to Chang Luohua and express their gratitude to Princess Gaoli and the two daughters of the Li family and the Chen family. After all, the rewards were all given in the name of the crown princess. Those who go, naturally have to pass on an obedient attitude.

After Zhu Biao returned to the Wenhua Palace, Liu Jin hurriedly served tea and cakes, and it was almost time for dinner, but His Highness must discuss important matters with those young masters, and there is no telling how long it will be delayed, so It's better to fill your stomach now.

After Zhu Biao took his seat, he picked up a memorial from the desk in front of him and read it. Although he didn't have to accompany Lao Zhu to review the memorials every day, some of the less urgent but meaningful memorials after Lao Zhu's review would be fine. He was sent to Wenhua Hall for Zhu Biao to study.

Unless Zhu Biao is really busy, he will read it carefully. In this era, communication is inconvenient and there is no monitoring of big data. The general situation of the country can only be checked through this part of the local memorial, so it cannot be neglected.

"Master, Chang Shizi Xu Shizi and several young generals have arrived and are asking for an audience outside the East Palace. Would you like to come in?"

When focusing on one thing, time always passes quickly. It wasn’t until Liu Jin’s notification came to his ears that he came back to his senses. It is brightly lit.

"Just bring it in."

Liu Jin made a promise, he knew that these few would be his Royal Highness's subordinates in the future, so he didn't dare to neglect, and went out to meet them in person, instead of just letting a little eunuch bring them in.

Bowing towards Zhu Biao, he stepped back a few steps, then turned around gently and stepped out of the Wenhua Palace, and then walked quickly to the gate of the palace. The maids and eunuchs along the way all stood aside in awe.

From a long distance, Liu Jin saw a group of heroic teenagers standing in two teams, except for Changsha Prince Li Qi, all of them were wearing general uniforms, so it could be seen that they all came here directly after their business trips. Liu Jin stepped forward to salute with a smile : "I have seen some young masters, Your Highness, please go in directly."

Chang Mao and Liu Jin, who were the most acquainted, greeted each other casually, while the others returned a salute in a serious manner: "I have met Mr. Liu, please inform me."

Liu Jin is the personal eunuch of His Royal Highness, even their fathers would not easily offend them. Their sister is not the master of the East Palace, so naturally she has no guts to be as casual as Chang Mao.

Liu Jin said a few polite words with a smile, and then led the way ahead, while Chang Mao asked about his sister's body, Liu Jin answered one by one, and the group walked to the front of the Wenhua Hall and stopped.

Seeing the prince, he had to be neatly dressed, so the teenagers stopped to tidy up their sleeves, and Liu Jin waited beside him with a smile without urging him. After a while, he walked neatly towards the Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Biao naturally also heard the movement, put down the memorial in his hand and looked forward with a smile. The few people he called today were selected by him after weighing the pros and cons. In the future, they will be his confidantes who will hold the military power.

The coexistence of good and bad in the founding of the country is bound to be suppressed, but the power of the nobles must also be maintained and must not be completely dismantled. Take precautions.

Whether it is strong in military and weak in culture or weak in culture and weak in military, it is not in line with Zhu Biao's strategic deployment. Only when civil and military are balanced and separated can they be considered complete, and only then can the Great Ming spread its wings and take off to suppress the universe.

Zhu Biao has already arranged for civil servants for many years, and the Jiangnan gentry's new subjects, Guozijian, will continuously supply civil servants. In the future, Zhu Biao will build another college to train talents.

The military commander's first choice is naturally to cultivate noble children. The foundation of the Zhu family is not stable, and the military power must not be easily left in the hands of others, so the nobles who live with the country are the best community of interests.

From the beginning when Fengyang moved to the people, Zhu Biao took almost all the honored children out, including many outstanding people, dandies, and sons of honored nobles from the direct line of the Eastern Palace.

But at that time, Zhu Biaoming didn't deliberately get close to anyone, and always let Chang Mao and Xu Yungong, the two people he had chosen a long time ago, manage them.

He himself was observing in secret, not only to consider their personal character and ability, but also the attitude of their father and brother. Unlike civil servants, who can take whatever they want, Zhu Biao, who has military power, has to be careful.

Naturally, Chang Mao and Xu Yungong were the first to walk in. These two were not only the sons of King Kaiping of Zhongshan, but their father was now in power.

One is in charge of the military and horse power in the north to suppress the Mongolian tribes, and the other is patrolling local military towns on behalf of the heavens. He is known as the first meritorious service in the founding of the country, so he naturally does his part.

After that was Fu Zhong, the eldest son of Lord Ying, who was in the limelight. He was definitely going to be the last one, but now that his father had just made great achievements and was ordered to take charge of the capital's army, he vaguely had the power to replace Tang He. The status in the circle of children is also rising.

And then there is Li Qi, the prince of Changsha, who was once the proud son of the younger generation, a boy who even Xu Yungong and Chang Mao would give in.

Now it's the night rain in Wolou, and the headwind when the ship is late. Not only his father Li Shanchang has withdrawn from the power center, but also he himself wants to become the princess, and his future is bleak.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't be in this position, but although the Li family is no longer powerful, the foundational title still exists, and they have also established a relationship with the Tian family. fight.

Then there is Feng Cheng, the nephew of Song Guogong Feng Sheng, the son of Ying Guogong Feng Guoyong, the Feng family can be said to be the only seedling in the fertile land of thousands of miles.

Duke Ying died early, and Duke Song had no sons and only two daughters. Therefore, Feng Sheng, who is also the inheritance of the two nobles, has a heavy responsibility. Even Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to it, and Empress Ma often sends people to express condolences.

Needless to say, Duke Feng Sheng of the State of Song, the heroic generals in all battles, even among the founding generals, are counted among the great heroes, while Duke Ying Feng Guoyong made some statements, but Zhu Biao knew that his father valued him more. Feng Guoyong.

He was a wise general who was talented in both civil and military affairs. At that time, his father was still a young general under Guo Zixing's command. He was being squeezed out and suppressed. He only led twenty-four people including Xu Da, Tanghe, and Nanlue Dingyuan.

At this time, Feng Guoyong led his younger brother Feng Sheng and hundreds of young and strong elites to join him in allegiance.

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang's team finally gained momentum, and successfully recruited 3,000 militiamen from Zhangjiabao Lvpaizhai, and then recruited 800 people from Qin's boss with a broken nose.

Leading this team, Zhu Yuanzhang marched eastward and took the night to break through the Yuan army camp at Hengjian Mountain in Dingyuan. Marshal Miao Daheng surrendered. Going south to Chuzhou opened a brilliant life.

At that time, when Zhu Yuanzhang encountered problems, he would definitely call Feng Guoyong for consultation. He heard from his mother that at that time, peace had just been established, and that was when she found out that she was pregnant. Old Zhu was naturally overjoyed. Sheng, after being excited, he called Feng Guoyong and asked, "How can we calm down the troubled times?"

Empress Ma was behind the screen at that time, and Feng Guo replied in an excited but calm voice: "Jiqing (Jinling) is a place where tigers occupy dragons, and the capital of emperors for generations. The commander-in-chief can seize it first as the foundation." , and then go out to conquer all over the world, promote righteousness, win people's hearts, and don't covet small gains for beauty, beauty and wealth, so the world can be settled!"

It was at that time that Empress Ma really understood her husband's ambition, yes, ambition. At that time, there were many mountains in the Red Turban Army, and there were not just one or two people on Zhu Yuanzhang. He was inconspicuous among them, but now But ask yourself how to calm the troubled times!

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang placed the pregnant Empress Ma in Taiping, and went out to celebrate with the Red Scarf Army. He was intrigued by all parties. In the end, Guo Tianxu, Zhang Tianyou and others died in battle one after another. Only Zhu Yuanzhang took power step by step. Bingwei Jiqing, that is when Zhu Biao was born......
