First Prince of Ming Dynasty

The two chatted for a while before returning to the main hall, and after a while they heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.

Chang Ruohua stood up and said to Zhu Biao: "It should be my father who rushed back!"

Zhu Biao stood up with a smile on his face and waited for his future father-in-law to bring him.

Not long after, Chang Yuchun came in with Lan Yu, saw Zhu Biao, bowed and said, "Your Highness came to the humble house, but I couldn't greet you in person, so I apologize to Your Highness first!"

Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward to support Chang Yuchun and said, "Uncle Chang is too polite, I was the one who interrupted."

The two exchanged a few more words of greeting, Zhu Biao returned to the main seat, and Chang Yuchun led Lan Yu to sit under him.

After saying a few words, Chang Yuchun got up and invited Zhu Biao to his study, Zhu Biao naturally had no objection.

The group arrived at a room in the inner courtyard, Zhu Biao only brought Liu Jin along, and Chang Yuchun ordered no one to come near.

When he arrived in the study, Zhu Biao glanced around, and there were military books and sand tables everywhere. Zhu Biao didn't grab Chang Yuchun's seat this time, but just found a sand table and sat down.

Chang Yuchun was not polite, and after sitting down, he said: "Your Highness, I have to persuade you first, after all, most of the capital has been captured, and the meritorious service that can be obtained by recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun has been greatly discounted! "

Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't speak, Chang Yuchun went on to say: "For an ordinary prince, this feat is naturally enough to leave his name in history, but for you, it's just icing on the cake. The military situation is dangerous, and I feel that this is a matter of your highness. Think more about it!"

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "I know all of this, but my palace's expedition is not just to recover the Yanyun Sixteen States that are at your fingertips!"

Zhu Biao picked up a topographic map casually and said: "The puppet emperor Bo'er Jijin Tuohuan Tiemu'er fled to Shangdu via Juyongguan, where he gathered about 200,000 troops and stared at our Ming Dynasty. Shanxi has Wang Baobao and Li Siqi in Shaanxi have hundreds of thousands of troops!"

"In the Shaanxi-Gansu region, Zhang Liangbi and Tuliebo each supported tens of thousands of soldiers; Liaoyang Province was preserved in an organized way, and Xianbuhua, Nahachu, and Liu Yi each had their own heavy troops; Liang Wang Bazaciwar Occupy Yunnan densely and serve Beiyuan!"

Chang Yuchun did not expect Zhu Biao to have such a big appetite! After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Sapphire's eyes burst into brilliance.

Chang Yuchun thought for a while and said: "The next year's expedition has probably been decided. His Highness should lead the ministers to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the King of Zhongshan will attack Wang Baobao to recover Shanxi. The rest will have to wait until later. .”

After seeing Zhu Biao's clear nod, Chang Yuchun stood up and cupped his hands at him and said, "I won't say much about the rest. After the expedition, the 100,000 troops under my command will only be followed by His Majesty. That is where the ministers and others are trapped!"

Lan Yu simply knelt down on one knee behind Chang Yuchun, and bowed her head deeply to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao smiled gently, Chang Yuchun's troops will be his direct troops in the army in the future.

And there is no need to worry about their loyalty. Chang Luohua married Zhu Biao as a concubine. As long as a son is born in the future, it is very likely that he will be the future supreme being in the world. He will also have the blood of the Chang family, that is, the Chang family. A series of future reliance.

Zhu Biao went over to help Chang Yuchun Lanyu himself, and then said to Chang Yuchun: "With Uncle Chang here, I will feel at ease!"

Chang Yuchun didn't say anything more, and after discussing about next year's expedition for a while, he heard someone shouting outside: "Princess, please take His Royal Highness to the front yard for dinner!"

Chang Yuchun got up and said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, please have a taste of the food at home, I brought two cooks from the south, and the dishes they cook are very delicious.

Zhu Biao naturally had no objection, only Chang Yuchun Lanyu Changmao was eligible to serve on the table, and the rest had dinner elsewhere.

At the dinner table, Zhu Biao was concerned about Chang Yuchun's body and asked, "I heard yesterday that Uncle Chang's health is not good, how is it now?"

Chang Yuchun took a sip of wine and replied carelessly: "What's wrong with it, it's just an old problem left after being injured in the battle. It's cold and I coughed at night. The imperial doctor has seen it. It's nothing serious. Thank you for your concern. Already!"

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "You can't take it too lightly. Yesterday, I heard that my uncle was feeling unwell, so I asked some famous doctors to come over. Let them have a look later!"

Naturally, Chang Yuchun would not refuse Zhu Biao's kindness, and agreed with a smile. The meal was very cordial, after all, both parties intend to deepen their relationship.

After finishing the meal, the three of them returned to the main hall and drank another cup of tea before Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin to ask the doctor to come over and take Chang Yuchun's pulse.

While waiting for the doctors to take the pulse, Lan heard that the prince had specially asked someone to take Chang Yuchun's pulse, and hurriedly led Chang Luohua out.

Lan looked at it for a while and said to Zhu Biao: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, my prince coughs every night, and I advise him to rest more but he doesn't listen."

Chang Luohua didn't speak but gratefully saluted Zhu Biao.

After the first few diagnoses, they all said the same as the imperial physicians, that the old injuries in the body were not serious, until one of the younger ones frowned and said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, according to Caomin, King Kaiping's body is already very dangerous. , the pulse seems to be strong but weak, and the anger in the body is strong, but the kidney water is a little...

After hearing this, Zhu Biao frowned for a while, Chinese medicine was too profound, he could only hear that if he didn't practice it, there might be big things!

Chang Yuchun's face was also a little grim, but his expression was still calm.

The doctors re-diagnosed after listening to it, and found that it was indeed the case.

Lan's face turned pale with fright, and hurriedly asked if there was any medicine that could cure the prince.

All the gentlemen discussed for a while and said: "The discovery is still timely, as long as you take the medicine according to the doctor's advice, and recuperate at home for a few months."

Those old Langzhong knelt down to plead guilty after speaking, after all, they didn't find out in time just now, if something happened to King Kaiping next year, they would have to be buried with him!

Zhu Biao was not in the mood to blame them, and directly rewarded the doctor who discovered the disease with two hundred taels of silver and invited him to the Imperial Hospital. The rest of the people, Zhu Biao, also rewarded fifty taels of silver.

After letting them go down to discuss the prescription, the hall fell into silence, only the slight sobbing of Mrs. Lan.

Chang Yuchun laughed and said, "It's thanks to Your Highness, otherwise I would die for no apparent reason!"

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "It's a good thing to find out in time. This is also the blessing of Uncle Chang. If this is the case, please ask Uncle Chang to recuperate at home. I will report to my father when I go back."

Chang Yuchun smiled wryly and said: "Next year we will go to war, and there are many things that need to be prepared, otherwise we will be too late on the battlefield, so let me just drink more soup and medicine every day!"

Lan cried and said, "You are happy to die on the battlefield?"

Chang Yuchun said with a solemn expression: "Hmph, I, Chang Yuchun, have lived my whole life, and if I die on the battlefield, it is a worthy death!"

Seeing that the two of them were quarreling again, Lan Yu hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, you can rest easy and recuperate, and leave the matters before the war to me!"

Zhu Biao also quickly comforted him: "That's right, General Lan has been fighting for many years, so I think there will be no problem. You can rest at ease. Next year, the Palace will rely on you a lot!"

Only then did Chang Yuchun agree, and Zhu Biao comforted him for a while before leaving. Chang Yuchun asked Lan Yu to personally escort Zhu Biao back to the palace!
