First Prince of Ming Dynasty

He Wenhui sat down calmly. As a real royalist, coupled with his achievements in the Southern and Northern Wars in the past, he was not as cautious as the other generals when facing the prince.

Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously, all of his righteous brothers who had a slightly different heart were already dead, leaving behind these may have all kinds of minor problems, but there is absolutely no problem with their loyalty to the Zhu family.

Looking up at the crown prince, he cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what orders His Highness Zhaomo will have?"

Zhu Biao waved his hand to let the servants in the palace back down, pondered for a moment and said, "Your brother must have heard about the entry of the eldest son of Duke Zhang's son into the capital, right?"

He Wenhui nodded: "Zhang Cundao has been promoted to five ranks and transferred to Beijing Central in just a few days. He has been in the limelight for a while, and the general will certainly hear about it."

"What is the reaction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the generals of the Beijing camp?"

"Hmm... It's not good at all. Many generals in the Beijing camp have threatened to give him a bad name."

"Oh? Although Zhang Gong is a literati, he also had martial arts as a leader in the army in the past. Needless to say, Zhang Cundao, even if he is dissatisfied with his rise in the dynasty, it is not like this."

"This...Your Highness, their father and son are not from Huaixi."

"Then there are elder brothers who are dissatisfied here?"

Zhu Biao's eyes were deeply pressed on He Wenhui, and he immediately got up in shock and wanted to say something, but Zhu Biao interrupted: "They are just vulgar people, if there is anything to be careful about, Father will not care about it, and I will not make things difficult for you." They, but brothers are different."

He Wenhui's body trembled. The leisurely life of the past few years made him forget his past responsibilities, especially after changing back to his real surname, he even changed his identity from a marshal adopted son to a great Ming Wuxun.

Now His Royal Highness's words mean more than what he said, and he is clearly reminding him not to forget his own origin.

Zhu Biao carefully observed He Wenhui's demeanor. Before he was born, there might be a reason for old Zhu to adopt sons to prevent himself from having no sons and no one to inherit his inheritance. But after he was born, there was only one use for these sons. .

That is, as a supervising army, when the heroes are at the top, the subordinates are easy to find, but if you caress them as family members and fathers and sons, they will maintain each other with fame and friendship, and become close relatives after a long time. , It is more credible than the generals.

Starting from Mu Ying, Lao Zhu adopted a total of twenty or so adoptive sons, all of whom were lonely and helpless. He gave them surnames, provided them with generous food and clothing, and taught them to read and write, and command troops to defend against the enemy until they were ready to fight. When they were young, they were sent to serve in a general army.

In order to repay the kindness of upbringing, the adopted sons are brave and never retreating on the battlefield. They have established many military exploits, but compared with their military exploits, what is more valuable is as a direct line confidant, to control the generals for him Sitting guarding the city.

Mu Ying once guarded Zhenjiang with Tang He, Xu Sima assisted Chang Yuchun in guarding Wuzhou, Zhu Wengang, Geng Zaicheng, Sun Yan and others guarded Chuzhou, and died at the hands of the rebels with them.

He first guarded Yazhou together with King Kong slaves, and Wang Fuma supervised Huizhou. After capturing Yanzhou, Li Wenzhong guarded together with Hu Dahai and Deng Yu.

This method of monitoring and controlling the generals with adopted sons was the result of the severe and unpredictable war situation. Many generals of the Rebel Army and Yuan Army had adopted this method at that time.

Now except for Li Wenzhong, Mu Ying and Xu Sima who are away, the rest of the survivors such as Wangfuma, Zhentong, King Kongnu, Yexian, Maidonkey, and Poer are all leading the army in the Beijing camp.

This is why Zhu Biao has always been very assured that the Beijing camp will not be chaotic. There are too many confidantes in it, and they have different backgrounds and interests, so it is impossible to reach an agreement to rebel. "

He Wenhui knelt on the ground: "Although the general has changed his surname back, he has always kept in mind the kindness of the Holy Empress' nurturing. The general will be a member of the Zhu family."

Zhu Biao nodded slowly: "We are a family, brother, just remember, everything should be done with the Zhu family's country and society as the most important thing, not the interests of other people."

"promise!"

"I will not summon you and my elder brothers one by one. I will trouble you to remind me when you go back. If you still don't understand, the next time you enter the palace, it will not be me but the emperor."

Everyone knows that no matter what the matter is in the court, if you see the crown prince first, there is a high probability that there is room for reversal. Help and plead.

"promise."

After the beating, Zhu Biao signaled Liu Jin to help him up, and He Wenhui no longer felt panicked after he adjusted his mentality. Although his buttocks have been a little crooked recently, his long-standing habits have kept him at a certain distance from the Huaixi generals. However, he still remembers where his power came from.

In order for Zhang Cundao to gain a foothold in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Beijing Camp, Zhu Biao really worked hard. It is true that Huaixi Wuxun is too exclusive and arrogant, and cannot tolerate any grievances.

Zhu Biao also had no way to force them to accept Zhang Cundao, a member of the Eastern Zhejiang Party, so he had to pry the way from another mountain, but this was also because of his power, otherwise most of the adopted sons would come from Huaixi, Yin Fengyang Violation is something everyone knows, it's nothing more than daring and not daring.

He Wenhui was a little troubled, but it was easy to accept Zhang Cundao. As the confidant of the Holy One, who fought the world with the Huaixi generals, although his qualifications and merits were not good, he was by no means afraid.

Because of their special identities, only the Holy One and the Crown Prince can touch them in this world. Even Xu Shuai and Tang Shuai don’t have the guts to do so, otherwise they would be suspected of cutting off the wings of the Son of Heaven. at this time.

But first of all, you have to give them military power that matches their rank. This thing has a radish and a hole, who will let it out?

Brothers don't even try to get along, he's not Mu Ying and Li Wenzhong, he doesn't have that much prestige among the brothers, and he doesn't have the ability to make suitable compensation arrangements.

Then the only way left is to give up the mess in his hands, so that His Highness only summoned him and it made sense.

He Wenhui waited impatiently for Zhu Biao to speak. If His Highness took the initiative to speak, then there must be a suitable arrangement. Even if it is a bit of a loss, there is no way, and we must not disobey His Highness.

He is his own son.

Before the crown prince could speak, He Wenhui sighed: "His Royal Highness, I will feel a relapse of my old illness in the near future, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a heavy responsibility. Please resign and go home to rest for a while. The errands of the Governor's Mansion and Beijing Camp Your Highness, please appoint him wisely."

Looking at the serious He Wenhui and Zhu Biao, he couldn't help turning his face to the side and laughing. Seeing this, He Wenhui knew that he was joking with him, and his heart fell back into his stomach.

He had to smile wryly and said: "Your Highness has an order and the final general will obey it, why bother to tease the final general."

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I just want to see if my elder brother has improved his energy-raising skills in recent years."

Slowly restraining his smile, he said earnestly: "What is the relationship between Zhang Cundao and this palace? How can he be compared with his elder brother by being far and near? It is a last resort to use him."

These righteous brothers still need to be appeased, as he said just now, there must always be a distinction between closeness and distance, for the sake of Zhang Cundao, the hearts of He Wenhui and other righteous sons are chilled, wouldn't it be because of smallness that the bigness is lost.

So it is necessary to make greater compensation, let him know that if he is obedient, he will get better, this is the long-term way of imperial power.

He Wenhui said emotionally: "Your Highness, you don't need to talk about this with the general. Everything that the general has is given by the sage and the empress. If he hadn't been raised by the empress, he might have died in troubled times. How could I be the person I am today."

Zhu Biao waved his hand: "Yungui, Sichuan, Liaodong, the governors of the four provinces are all selected by the elder brother, and it is not easy for more than ten years."

"The last general dare not...how could..."

"There is no outsider here, but you can speak bluntly."

He Wenhui thought quickly in his mind, the military power of a province is much more prestigious than the Beijing camp, and the best of them is undoubtedly Yunnan, but he has very little friendship with Tang Shuai, let alone fighting with brother Mu Ying, which is not what he wants , the brothers will not support it.

Guizhou is undoubtedly the worst. The chieftains are rebellious, frequent rebellions are difficult to suppress, and it is difficult to make too many achievements. The only advantage may be that there are no civil servants. Hundreds of years of accumulation of various chieftain families...
