First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 572: Visiting the Garden

The first two things are easy to deal with as usual, but the matter of the Nanchang king's lineage aroused controversy among the courtiers. Officials from the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Household Affairs came forward to ask the emperor to think twice.

The Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites stopped talking, but the left and right servants immediately stood up and asked for another title. The Minister of the Household Department even said bluntly that there is nothing wrong with canonizing the king, and the title of the king can be discussed, but there is no need to seal the feudal land.

This remark attracted the support of civil and military courtiers. The vassal kings of all dynasties have always been an annoying existence. Even those who are kind and kind in nature will do some wrong things to dispel the emperor's guard, let alone those who are inherently violent.

The civil servants were worried about the separatism of the vassals and towns, and the generals were resisting the vassal kings' seizure of military power, so they were all in the same position on this matter. On the contrary, it was the emperor's efforts to promote this matter, and they were powerless to resist the authority of the founding king.

The civil and military officials Zhu Biao looked at indignantly at the crowd below were actually more willing to see it, but that’s it. Although he will not tolerate a country within a country under his rule in the future, this is a must for now. one step.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss Zhu Shouqian, and he did not discuss his vassal land for the time being on the grounds that he was too young to rule the territory, and then Xu Da used the name of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to ask for credit for the soldiers from all over the country. The focus is natural It was on Li Wenzhong.

Unlike Zhu Shouqian, Li Wenzhong's military exploits are outstanding, coupled with his special status, before the princes grow up, he is the only direct descendant of the royal family in the military, so naturally no one dares to stop him.

Besides, there is no vassal land for military achievements, nor is it hereditary replacement, and no one has any reason to object, so the proposal was passed smoothly, and the Ministry of Rites was still ordered to discuss the title of the king.

The early dynasty soon came to an end, and the emperor withdrew from the court, and all the officials returned to the government office, and the central structure that supported the smooth operation of the whole world began to operate effectively.

Zhu Biaoxia walked for a while with the two ministers of the Ministry of Rites of the Ministry of Industry, and said what he meant, and they had a bottom line in their hearts, and the most fearful thing was that they didn't know anything.

After passing through the Duanmen, Zhu Biao got on the frame and drove towards the garden. It was his courtyard outside the palace, which was Chen Yunqing's dowry. The construction started the year before last, and now the main body is considered to be completed, which is exquisite and luxurious.

Chahan came all the way from Liaodong, Zhu Biao first let him live in Youyuan in order to show his sincerity, and let Zhang Wei lead troops and horses to guard An Ning. .

Youyuan is a little far away from the imperial palace, the car is driving steadily, Zhu Biao stares blankly at the swaying dragon pattern in front of him, constantly thinking about how to make Liaodong belong to him, and what kind of conditions can satisfy Nahachu.

Daming wanted Liaodong, and so did Goryeo, including Ye Sudieer, who was huddled in the grassland. Speaking of which, Daming was the least urgent. The land occupied by Daming was vast and fertile, and Liaodong’s bitter cold, white mountains, and black waters were not suitable for farming at the moment. .

For Goryeo, which is small and bitterly cold, Liaodong is the only option for them to expand. Goryeo has continued to expand with Liaodong since a few years ago. Doctor, he has the title of Duan Cheng Liang Jie Yi Dai Hero.

As for Ye Sudieer, he naturally wants to go south and set foot on the Central Plains to rebuild the Great Yuan Empire, but he failed last year and suffered setbacks, so he occupied Liaodong, which was already faintly self-reliant, took Koryo to restore some vitality, and then fought against the Ming Dynasty. Best option right now.

All three parties must have sent people to contact Nahachu. Zhu Biao reckoned that the promises made by the other two parties should be higher. After all, they urgently need the 200,000 troops from Liaodong, but Nahachu still let Chahan come first. Daming.

This is the benefit of the general trend. Even if it is not the best, it must be the safest. The so-called bystanders can clearly see that the momentum of the grassland has declined and it is difficult to become a general trend. As for Korea, then is something.

Nahachu is also a descendant of Mu Huali, one of the four heroes of Genghis Khan. If Dayuan is still there, the king of Koryo would have to call him uncle, so he is eligible to recruit his subjects.

After thinking about it, the car stopped in front of a magnificent mansion, Zhang Wei, the commander of the capital army and horse commander, came up to take the reins, and Zhu Biao, who was dressed in imperial uniform, stepped off the car on the horse stool.

The three people were waiting not far away, the leader was a strong man with a black beard, and when he saw the person getting out of the car, he knelt down on one knee and rubbed his chest with one hand, and said, "Chahan Zhayi'er sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Biao approached and said with a smile: "Why do you need to be polite when you come from a long way, please get up."

Chahan thanked him and got up, but still bowed slightly: "I haven't thanked Your Highness yet, but when I came to Beijing yesterday, I was arranged to live in such a grand place. I heard that it was His Royal Highness's private garden. After it was built, His Highness himself has not yet lived in it." However, I am truly ashamed.”

Zhang Wei and the commander of the Jinwu Guard stood silently behind Zhu Biao, their eyes fixed on the three of Chahan, and they would immediately take them down if there was any movement.

"It's just a house. Since the prince likes it, he used to be with the prince. I have lived in the palace for a long time, and there is no chance to live here."

Naturally, Chahan hastily declined, Zhu Biao smiled and didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to invite him in. It was indeed his first time visiting the garden, but he was the host after all, so there was no reason for guests to be invited in.

Zhu Biao walked in front with his hands behind his back, making no effort to hide his novelty, but the scenery is in the style of Hangzhou, and the changing scenery is exquisite, which is indeed different from the current style of the mansion in the capital.

"To tell you the truth, after the completion of this garden, not only has I never lived in it, but it is also the first time I have come here to see it. Why don't we take a walk together?"

"The guests do as they please, and they all listen to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Zhu Biao turned his face to the side and said with a smile: "Maybe the next time we come, the host and the guest will be different, and then we will ask the prince to lead us."

Chahan didn't realize it for a moment and didn't dare to answer casually. Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously and continued to ask: "I haven't asked Kaiyuan King how he is now? Father and King Kaiyuan are old acquaintances, and they often exchanged letters in the past few years."

Chahan responded: "My father is in good health, please take care of your Highness, and thank you on my father's behalf."

Saying that Chahan was about to bow down, Zhu Biao stretched out his hand and joked a few words, and then the conversation turned and led him to comment on the scenery of the garden. I have to say that the Chen family has put a lot of effort into this garden. Han is also full of praise.

While talking and admiring the scenery, Zhu Biao was puzzled in his heart. Chahan's attitude was really low. You must know that Daming had made some progress in Liaodong, but it was still far from completely shaking the power of Naha. Chahan As the eldest son of Naha, it is unreasonable to put on this posture of defeat and survival.

Doubts in his heart will not prevent Zhu Biao from continuing to do things in his own established way. Chahan's high or low profile will not matter. Daming does not want to waste national power in a bloody battle in Liaodong, but he is not afraid.

The garden is so large that it even surrounds a small lake. The gazebo in the center of the lake is very stylish. Zhu Biao and Chahan sat down, and someone brought refreshments. It’s a beautiful sight, usually it’s full of snow.”

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "It's true that the scenery is a bit thin. You have to see this beautiful river and mountain once in your life. It's easy to be stupid in a corner. The son will never come here in vain."

Chahan took a big gulp of tea and said, "This is a foreign minister who took the initiative to invite Ying. Originally, my father wanted my younger brother to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, but the foreign minister thought it would be safe to come in person for such an important event."

"The sincerity of the son is well known in the palace. I have also visited this garden. What I said just now is not false. I used to be with the son here. It is more than enough to build a duke's mansion with a little repair."

After saying that, seeing Chahan, he still refused Zhu Biao and waved his hand: "It's hard to follow a gentleman's words, let alone what I said, so hard for the prince to make me lose his promise for this mere garden?"

Chahan fell silent and looked around unconsciously. The beautiful scenery of other people's homes and the beautiful scenery of his own seemed to be really two kinds of feelings. Don't look at Chahan's status in Liaodong, but there are only those in Liaodong, and the things that can be enjoyed are Not many.

Zhu Biao casually picked up a piece of jujube cake and ate it. It was really tiring to visit such a big garden again in the early morning. He didn't have much to eat for breakfast, so he was inevitably hungry at this time.
