At the beginning of May, the Northern Expeditionary Army successively captured Anding, Huizhou, Jingning, and Longde, and went to Pingliang through Xiaoguan.

As early as when the Ming army conquered Lintao, Zhang Sidao left his younger brother Zhang Liangchen and his general Yao Jun to guard Qingyang, while he fled to Ningxia, only to be captured by Kuku.

Zhang Liangchen sent someone to recruit Zhang Liangchen, and Zhang Liangchen learned that his brother was punished by Kuku, and decided to surrender to Ming, but quickly rebelled again. Xu Da ordered Qingyang City to be surrounded on all sides, and Zhang Liangchen resisted stubbornly and asked for help from the Kuku outside the fortress.

In order to save Qingyang, Kuku divided the troops into three ways to contain the Ming army, all the way to Datong to Taiyuan, all the way to attack Fengxiang, all the way to Jingzhou. In mid-July, the Kuku army sent Hanan to attack Wonju, which caused a great change in the situation of the war. Xu Da saw that Kuku's troops were very fierce, so he temporarily took the defensive position and ordered Xu Li to guard Yima Pass, Ye Shizhen to guard Peng Yuan, Wei Zheng to guard Yizhou, Fu Youde, and Xue Xian to guard Lingzhou, and control the key points everywhere.

Seeing that the situation had been decided, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in Bianliang, set off to rush back to Beijing, the beginning of the dynasty, he, the emperor, could not leave for too long, otherwise he must take most of the capital with his own hands!

Zhu Biao in the palace was also relieved to get the news that Comrade Lao Zhu had finally returned, he is now the prince of the country, but he is too young, and he has no descendants under his hands, and he is more of a symbol in the court.

The news that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to come back inspired many people, and Zhu Biao felt that the operation of the entire imperial court seemed to be smeared with lubricating oil, and everything became efficient.

Zhu Biao did not contact any ministers during this time, and he was even more cautious than when Zhu Yuanzhang was there, no matter who could not find him except the court.

When Zhu Yuanzhang returned, Zhu Biao led the ministers to welcome the emperor back to the capital outside the city.

When he returned to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang took over the government affairs directly, and directly disposed of several ministers without asking anyone.

Zhu Biao can finally return to his leisurely daily life, those younger brothers who have been to the front line have also made great progress, and the whole person looks a lot more stable, although it is impossible to really let them go into battle to fight, but if they have seen it, they will be considered to have grown!

Zhu Biao began to sort out the history of the Hongwu period in the past few days, and the most urgent thing was that Chang Yuchun died violently next year, and Zhu Biao had to find a way to leave Chang Yuchun in Yingtianfu after capturing the capital (changed to Nanjing in August of the first year of Hongwu).

Looking at the current situation, it will not be a problem to win most of them in August, so when it is completed, it will be necessary to teach Ying Tianfu.

Zhu Biao thought about it and got up and went to his mother's side, Liu Jin hurriedly went to report, now there are more and more women in the harem, and Zhu Biao is not going to go directly.

When Liu Jin came back, Zhu Biao arrived at the gate of the Imperial Garden, and there were indeed many concubines on the road, but it was right to think about it, the weather warmed up in May and it was a good time to come out for a walk, not to mention what else could these women do if they didn't visit the Imperial Garden?

Along the way, he saw the mother of several princes, Zhu Biao, who would stop and salute, after all, he was the mother of his younger brothers, and he should also give some respect.

Of course, these concubines also hurriedly returned the gift, Zhu Biao is the prince and prince, although they are elders, they have to respect the monarch and ministers.

At present, there are still few people who have just opened the harem concubine, that is, the woman who gave birth to two princes will be crowned concubines, and the rest are concubines.

None of them were qualified to let Zhu Biao stop, they were all far away, and they were far away, folding their hands on both sides of the road, and bending their knees to salute.

Zhu Biao suddenly understood why the emperors in those TV series never cared about their harem concubines competing for favor.

All the way to the queen's Kunning Palace, Zhu Biao waited for the palace maid to pass the pass before entering, and when he got inside, Zhu Biao saw that in addition to his mother, there were several small concubines.

Those few had already stood up and waited, and bowed beautifully, "Concubines, wait for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Biao smiled politely and raised his hand, then straightened up and saluted the sitting Queen Ma with a respectful face: "Erchen to meet the queen mother." ”

Queen Ma smiled and let her son get up, and the concubines were also clever and cleverly came up and said how His Royal Highness was well-behaved and knew how to honor his mother.

Queen Ma said a few polite words, and those few sensibly retired.

Zhu Biao walked to the side and sat down, Queen Ma ignored him, picked up the needle and thread and was busy again.

Zhu Biao hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, your sons have come to see you, why don't you ask your son if he has eaten well or something recently?" ”

Queen Ma glanced at him, "What can you do wrong, can Yunjin still take care of you?" ”

Zhu Biao laughed, "No matter how well Yunjin takes care of him, his son has to care for his mother!" ”

Queen Ma shook her head and smiled, "Okay, you must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say it!" What's the matter with looking for your mother, let's talk about it first, your father just emphasized to me again yesterday that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! ”

Zhu Biao said: "My father has emphasized to you for more than ten years, and I don't have to discuss with you in the end when I encounter difficulties." ”

Queen Ma didn't speak, and Zhu Biao asked carefully, "Mother, have you two discussed the matter of knighthood?" ”

Queen Ma raised her head and swept it, and everyone retreated respectfully, and then stood up and pinched Zhu Biao's ears!

"Boy, what do you want to ask about these!"

Zhu Biao hurriedly begged for mercy, and Queen Ma let go and said, "Biao'er!" You don't have to think about these things, your father thinks you can, so he will naturally tell you, but if he doesn't say it, you are not allowed to ask!

Zhu Biao said, "Mother, I don't want to ask who is knighted, but can you tell me when it will be knighted?" ”

Queen Ma shook her head, "Your father hasn't made up his mind yet, and you are not allowed to inquire!" I don't know what you're doing when you ask about this, Biao'er, you're your father's favorite son, don't do anything stupid! ”

Zhu Biao was a little helpless, Queen Ma saw that he wanted her to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang something, and now she directly characterized it as a stupid thing, and Zhu Biao couldn't refute it, just like your mother thinks you are cold, it's useless to resist.

Zhu Biao was beaten again before being kicked out of Kunning Palace.

Zhu Biao thought about it again and again, and decided to go directly to Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact, he knew that going directly to his own Lao Tzu was the best way, but he didn't dare to face him directly, and wanted his mother to pave the way for him, but in the end, he still had to go on his own!

Zhu Biao glanced at the sky, at this time it should be the end of the early dynasty, should be in the imperial study to deal with government affairs, Zhu Biao walked directly to the imperial dining room, directly there must be a gift!

It's almost time for lunch, and Zhu Biao thinks about the dishes his dad likes to eat.
