First Prince of Ming Dynasty

In addition to the memorials of various ministries, there is also the memorial of Mao Xiang, the pro-military captaincy mansion. The memorial said that he was ordered by the holy order to patrol the coastal defenses, and happened to be robbed by Japanese pirates. The defeated Japanese pirates chased them to Shitang Dayang and captured them Twelve ships captured more than 130 people alive and Japanese bows and other weapons, and they will be sent to the capital in a few days...

What follows is the old-fashioned praise of meritorious deeds, mainly to say that it is not his own ability to make such a meager contribution, but the opportunity is due to the mighty grace of the emperor, and he is just doing his duty faithfully.

Both Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao are already immune to such words, not to mention that Mao Xiang's literary talents are incomparable with those civil servants, and his flattering skills are also mediocre.

Mao Xiang was a very stable person, but this time he was transferred away from the capital for a long time and he was not recalled in a hurry. He did not have a title, and as a hawk dog of the emperor, he only had the honor of being favored by the emperor. Feeling flustered, I deliberately looked for an opportunity to show off my presence.

This is also where Mao Xiang struggled, obviously because he was afraid that he would die if he was a good dog, he took the initiative to find Hu Weiyong to hug him for warmth, but now he is so dull, like a noisy child, it is really ugly.

However, Zhu Biao can also guess his thoughts. Mao Xiang and Hu Weiyong are not in the same order of magnitude. It's just a beast that has become a minion. How can a beast have the right to hug the prime minister of the country to keep warm.

Hu Weiyong is using Mao Xiang, and Mao Xiang also wants to use Hu Weiyong, or he wants to raise his own self-respect.

His little cleverness might have fooled the Taiping Emperor, but in front of Lao Zhu, the founding emperor of the emperor in troubled times, he was a bit embarrassing. It is ridiculous to be stupid.

In fact, if Mao Xiang does his job with all his heart, even if he will take the blame in the end, Zhu Biao will save his life no matter what. , just to tell the latecomers that as long as they are dedicated to their duties, they don't have to worry about things like rabbits dying.

Zhu Biao shook his head and approved the reward in the imperial edict. The soldiers of the General Banner of Gefan will be awarded ten taels of silver for the archers who capture a thief alive, and eight taels of silver for the first-class beheading. Two, commanding thousands of households and hundreds of households to guard them is equal to the daily merit reward of the class teacher...

By the way, after briefly talking about this matter, the superior Zhu Yuanzhang nodded clearly, and did not specifically ask anything. Mao Xiang still has that qualification.

After that, Hong Shifan, Zheng Mengzhou, the envoy of Taicang Weizuo Goryeo, etc., was destroyed by a hurricane boat. Thirty-nine people including Hong Shifan drowned, and 13 people including Zheng Mengzhou drifted to Jiaxing. Taicang Wei asked for instructions on how to arrange the envoys.

Zhu Biao first thought about it subconsciously. Is there something wrong with Hong Shifan, or the surviving Zheng Mengzhou? But it doesn't feel like that, Gao Li still doesn't know what he really wants.

But not necessarily, no matter how small Korea is, it is still a country, and the interests involved in it are by no means small. After all, it is a country that has existed for hundreds of years. Zhu Biao approved and rewarded the commander of Taicang Guard, and ordered to send people to escort the envoys immediately. Enter Beijing.

When Zhu Biao was thinking about it, he heard his father's sigh. He raised his eyes and saw Lao Zhu frowned slightly and hurriedly asked: "Father, but where did the natural disaster happen again?"

"It was Zhang Yi, the commander of the Mingzhou Guard, who died. He was a soldier in front of our account, and he was always loyal. He was only released two years ago. I didn't expect that when he led the army to fight against the Japanese pirates, he died in the middle of a blow."

Zhu Biao also sighed, but he was relieved in his heart. He just thought that there was another catastrophe like flood, drought, earthquake and locust. The spring had just started, and the food reserves of the imperial court were really stretched. It would be difficult to do disaster relief.

It’s not that they can’t make it together, there will never be enough money for the imperial court, but it’s never impossible to make it up at all, it’s just that it’s very troublesome to move it from various places, and it’s very troublesome to pull out the carrot belt Out of the mud, a lot of trouble.

"It's inevitable that the general will die before the battle. The emperor should give him compensation to show the greatness of the emperor's grace, and it will also be regarded as the fulfillment of the old love."

Lao Zhu nodded, and the imperial pen approved the reply, and ordered the doctor of the Ministry of Rites to go to the altar to offer his sacrificial offering, "You came from Tongguan in a heroic manner to serve me, so I was promoted to be a military guard to guard Yincheng and perform my duties. Recently, the Japanese invaded Haiyu I am deeply sorry that you were one of the pioneers who were shot by arrows, and died after being cured, but what a pity that my husband died when he was able to perform his duties, but he can be loyal to his name!"

Reward five hundred taels of silver to secure his wife and children, and take his eldest son to work in Beijing...

He faced danger countless times in the Southern and Northern Wars, and most of the soldiers in front of the tent were lost. Although there were new recruits, the oldest batch was almost the same. Now there are only a few dozen left, although they are scattered all over the country. Looking at it, it is natural not to chill their hearts.

In the night, there are stars first appearing blue-red, with tails starting from the thin clouds in the northeast and heading northeast next to the wall formation, and the remaining light is as big as a cup until it is nearly turbid...

Closing the last memorial of the Qin Tianjian in his hand, Zhu Biao got up, twisted his waist, walked to the center of the hall and saluted his father, "It's almost time, my son, I'm going to invite Uncle Xu to the family banquet." gone."

There is still a small stack of Zhu Yuanzhang's memorials before the imperial case, without raising his head, he said: "Go, please come here, let those dogs who like to spread rumors also take a look, our white jade pillars that hold up the sky, and the purple golden beams that frame the sea Are you divorced from us?"

"promise."

Zhu Biao bowed back three steps before turning around and exiting the Jinshen Hall. This is a courtier's gift. He turned around and pointed his butt at the emperor before he finished speaking. To put it mildly, it is called the emperor's disrespect. If the emperor wants to pursue it, then It is the great disrespectful crime of beheading.

Zhu Biao or the ministers had to bow and take three steps back before turning around. As for the court ladies and eunuchs, they had to retreat outside the door before turning around. This was a rule of etiquette.

Zhu Biao was not in a hurry to leave the palace, but slowly returned to the East Palace. He was still wearing the prince's court clothes, full of solemnity and majesty, but it was not suitable for him to invite elders to a family banquet as a junior.

Halfway through the walk, I heard Liu Jin's hurried footsteps from behind. Liu Jin did not step forward to speak immediately after following up. Instead, she relieved her breath first, and rushed into her highness in a hurry.

After passing through two long corridors, I heard Liu Jin's steady voice from behind: "Master, the ceremonial car is ready, and the servants have also sent someone to the Zhongshan Palace to inform."

Zhu Biao nodded casually. It is etiquette to post greetings before coming to the door. If you come to the door rashly, it is not a visit. Evil guest.

When Zhu Biao stepped into the East Palace, he saw the Crown Princess leading Wang Rui and Li Yan to greet him. Unknowingly, there were so many women in the East Palace.

"The courtiers are waiting to welcome His Highness back to the palace..."

"Excuse me, get up."

Seeing Zhu Biao helping Chang Luohua up with his own hands, Li Yan unconsciously pursed her red lips. She had admired His Highness the Crown Prince since she was a child. If you are slow, you will decide on the division of wives and concubines.

As for Wang Rui in the back, she didn't care, she bowed her head respectfully and remained silent. If it wasn't for the dress on her body, she would have the same expression as the maids around her at first glance.

As for Yunjin Nuanyu and others, they knew their duty and cherished their relationship with their master. They were very well behaved, at most they acted like a baby when they were alone.

"I change clothes and go out, so let's go."

"promise."

Zhu Biao and Chang Luohua walked towards the main hall hand in hand, and the rest dispersed separately. Zhu Biao had very little restrictions on them, and he satisfied as much as he could. Those who are willing to embroider embroidery, those who want to raise cats and dogs can raise them, beat the leaves The play is Ye Zi Opera, that is, a Korean-style seesaw was built in Wang Rui's yard.

"Where are we going at this hour?"

"Father is going to entertain Xu Shuai tonight, I will change my clothes and invite him in person."

"Let His Highness go in person, family banquet? Does that mean Mrs. Zhongshan Wang is also invited?"

"Well, you can go directly to the mother's side in a while, and take the child with you."

While speaking, he entered the main hall, where two nurses were kneeling and saluting their children, and they were still saying hello to their father for the two children who could not speak.
