First Prince of Ming Dynasty

According to the news sent back by Huang Yuanshou, there was a woman surnamed Chen in the Sagani country on the other side of the Sulu country. After hearing about Huang Yuanshou's deeds, she led an uprising of the oppressed Han people and gathered thousands of people to occupy the cottage for self-defense.

Huang Yuanshou has sent his subordinates to contact her. If it is true, he will find a way to support her with weapons and gunpowder, help her gain a foothold, and accumulate strength to seize the kingship of the Shagani Kingdom.

Moreover, with the continuous return of overseas news and the spread of crude nautical charts, especially the stories deliberately promoted by Zhu Biao, many bandits and water bandits who have disappeared have begun to think about it.

It is indeed too small to be king in Daming, and the main reason is that now every three days, the guards send troops to train soldiers with the heads of their brothers. It is really impossible to get along in this crappy place.

The so-called murder and arson are recruited, but the biggest rewards in history are only fifth- and sixth-rank idle officials, and people say that if they can establish a country overseas, the minimum is a viscount and baron. If they grow up, there is hope for a prince.

Some people believe this rumor and some people don't believe it. After all, it has not been confirmed, and no one has been awarded a knighthood because of it, but after all, there is an extra thought, not to mention that even without this knighthood, it is better to go overseas than to stay here to die.

Bandits and water bandits are a minority after all, but this news is also very tempting to the fishermen and common people along the coast. Of course, those aristocratic families are most concerned.

Their news is more accurate, and they are very clear about the process of the imperial court's change of maritime trade policy, which was led by the crown prince, and this news seems to have indeed come from the Wenhua Palace.

"Raja, King Sulu sent an envoy with five chariots of treasures, requesting to see you."

Huang Yuanshou was sitting high on a luxurious chair inlaid with gold, silver and jewels, which formed a stark contrast with the simple environment around him, and made him extraordinarily dignified.

The fact is also the same. The surrounding guards looked at him with eyes looking up to the gods from time to time. There is no doubt that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Lord at any time. Among them are Han Chinese, Southeast Asians and many mixed races.

The appearance of the local people is high eyebrows, big eyes, slightly sunken eye sockets, flat nose bridge, fat nose head, big nostrils, thick and protruding lips, wide mouth, yellow and black skin, and straight black hair.

Ugly is really ugly, but it is also really easy to use, simple-minded, just use any means, coupled with continuous victories on the battlefield, Huang Yuanshou has already emptied King Boni in more than a year, and will annex him soon drop the country next to it.

The soldiers he brought from Daming are now scattered to key positions, one is to better control the authority, and the other is to disperse them. These natives are easy to bribe, but those old men are different.

After seeing the so-called war by the locals, they all clearly realized that in Daming, they could only be a small soldier who drifted with the crowd, but here, being a general is more than enough. A soldier of a hundred battles in the Yuan Dynasty.

Of course, Huang Yuanshou didn't think so, the people here just had little experience, and some people's abilities hadn't been stimulated, and the soldiers he brought from Daming had all mixed up in Jianguo, and they didn't even become a hundred chiefs. This already explains the problem very much.

Furthermore, these people are used to seeing famous and powerful generals, plus they all have the desire to return to their roots, so it is really impossible for me to subdue them completely with this little means.

If something unexpected happened in the future, a decree from Jingli would be enough for them to cut off his head without hesitation.

As the power in his hands continued to grow, his ambitions gradually swelled, and he often couldn't sleep at night, worrying that he would be replaced by others, and he resisted contacting Daming, but he didn't dare to really cut off contact.

It is said that he would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Here he is, dominating the king and doing whatever he wants, but in Daming, he is just a meager military officer, without even a title of title.

"Not seen! Supervise the former army, the first climber will be rewarded with a hundred grains and stones, twenty women, capture the king of Sulu, be promoted to three ranks and reward ten treasures of the palace, and the women in the palace can choose!"

"promise!"

………

In April, Zhu Biao played with his sons in the Wenhua Palace for a while. Yang Erliang was already able to run and dance. Down, otherwise you can't watch it at all.

As for Chun'er and Xiang'er, they are similar in age, and they still have trouble walking. Chun'er has a weak foundation and is slower in development. As for Xiang'er, she is purely delicate and just wants to be hugged.

Xiang'er is also Zhu Biao's only daughter at present, born of Nuan Yu, the so-called shy flowers explain words, gentle jade makes fragrance, this nickname is appropriate, she is indeed a sweet and soft little girl.

Zhu Biao was very pitiful, and the crown princess Empress Ma also liked it very much. As for Lao Zhu, he obviously didn't care much about this granddaughter, maybe because he favored sons over daughters, or maybe because he was a concubine.

"Let's eat osmanthus cake first, just eat half of it." Zhu Biao handed his daughter to Liu Jin, then looked at the kneeling people and said, "Excuse me, I haven't seen you for more than a year at least."

"promise."

Guo Chong, Wu Bozong, Zhang Fan, and Li Jin stood up. These four were talents selected by the imperial court in the first imperial examination after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"Except for the four of you, among the Jinshi of your class, more than a hundred people have been beheaded for various reasons, more than a hundred people have been exiled, and dozens of people have been dismissed from office. There are really very few left."

Guo Chong got up and said in a deep voice: "When Yu Tianen hand-picked Jinshi, he still has no sense of shame, corruption and perverting the law. Death is not a pity!"

Standing next to the other three, Guo Chong's appearance is still extraordinarily thorny, like a toad standing on a flock of cranes, but this even highlights his sharpness and determination. This is an enterprising person with a firm heart.

Zhang Fan and Li Jin were much more peaceful, just saying that they would stick to their duties and would not shame His Highness. After experiencing several remote and weak state capitals, these two people can already be regarded as capable ministers.

As for Wu Bozong, he is still immersed in observing the astronomy and calendar in Qin Tianjian, and he is not even qualified to go to court. Although Zhu Biao knows that the career he studies is useful and meaningful, the results are not contemporary. The other three were left behind, but it's just that everyone has their own ambitions, so it's hard to say anything else.

The first thing the other three did after they returned to Beijing was to meet the emperor. As parents and officials of the state capital, they were undoubtedly the pillars of the imperial court. It was especially rare that they had survived for so many years and did not join forces with those moths.

Zhu Biao gave them a seat, and the four of them sat down after a brief refusal. They all considered themselves partisans of the Eastern Palace, and it would be a good thing to get closer to their lord, but it is not good to be too polite and unfamiliar.

They can accumulate political achievements so smoothly. In addition to their own talents and virtues, the status of the prince's confidantes has provided them with great help.

No matter where they work, as long as their fundamental interests are not involved, there will be no disagreement between officials, big and small, and big families.

In case of any emergency, the local guards will be willing to dispatch troops to help, which is not the treatment that ordinary officials can enjoy.

Of course, eating the king's salary, being loyal to the king, and worrying about the king's worries, there is nothing to be afraid of.

They went to the local area not to confuse political achievements, but to relieve the king's worries, govern the local area and calm the people, so they naturally had disputes with the local area, and they were often impeached and investigated. , No one can do anything about them.

Therefore, after passing through the local state capitals, they have made good political achievements, and the people are rejoicing. They can recognize talents and entrust them with abilities.

Zhu Biao asked about it before they answered the imperial prelude. They hesitated for a while and said it. In fact, it is reasonable to say that the matter before the imperial court must not be disclosed.

They were not worried about their own future, after all, they had long since realized that they were heartbroken for the prince, but they were worried about whether this matter would lead to a rift between the Holy Majesty and His Highness the father and son.

But thinking that just after the emperor's answer was played, the Holy Majesty's admonishment to them is first of all to let them be loyal to the crown prince wholeheartedly, and never have half-heartedness.

From Guo Chong, Li Jin added, Zhu Biao nodded from time to time, and he finished his speech quickly. After all, his father was the busiest time, and he valued them very much for being able to spare time to ask questions like this.
