After listening to the explanation of the queen mother, Zhu Biao soothed his brows, opened the envelope with his own hands, and took out a piece of letter paper with Juanxiu's handwriting: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally opened it, and the courtiers heard that His Royal Highness was named General Tiance............

Zhu Biao put it away after reading it, and when he looked up, he saw two eager eyes, Zhu Biao said helplessly: "It's just the beginning of spring, the official eunuchs and ladies in the city want to go out of the city, and the Purple Mountain outside the city has been closed since the father held the ceremony to worship the sky, many people want to go, so they asked for her head, she shirked but wrote a letter, and said that she didn't have to take care of her, if it was trouble, just refuse directly." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed twice and said, "It's just this little thing, you can watch and deal with it!"

Queen Ma also smiled and said, "If you have time, go along." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and then retired, and after returning to the East Palace, he pulled a piece of paper and wrote, "But, three days later!" ”

Then let Liu Jin send someone to Kaiping Palace, this is indeed a trivial matter, Purple Mountain is the place where the country is founded, and it is just a practice to close the mountain for a year.

Zhu Biao has the heart to get closer to his future princess, after all, she is not just a woman to Zhu Biao.

After dealing with it, Zhu Biao took a nap for a while, and was woken up by Liu Jin in the afternoon, and after walking around the courtyard a few times, he locked himself in the Wenhua Hall again.

He not only has to consider the problem of the sixteen states of Yanyun, this is just a guarantee, if he can, Zhu Biao also wants to expand a little success, after all, the opportunity for the prince to go on the expedition is too few, and he must seize the opportunity.

Zhu Biao took a look at the entire territory map of the current Ming Dynasty, the current territory of the Ming Dynasty is limited to the provinces south of the Yangtze River, the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the north, the Ming Xia regime in Sichuan and Chongqing, Wang Baobao in Shandong and the Liang King of the Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan.

However, these are just stubborn people, and they have been swept away by Lan Yu and others in history.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has only just swept away the troubled times, and it is far from returning to the normal level, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty in history has only reached its pomp in the Yongle period at the end of Hongwu.

Zhu Biao estimated that the area actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty now has more than 3 million square kilometers of land, after all, even Shandong and other places have not been recovered.

Zhu Biao looked at the small land compared to later generations, but couldn't help laughing, at this time, there is a chance for a man's husband to show his skills!

Zhu Biao sighed with some regret, I really want to knock it down with my own hands! It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty is now in a difficult state situation, and all the troops must concentrate on exterminating the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and then they can free up their hands to sweep away the unsubordinate!

At this time, a Liu Jin came to report that Quan Xu, the general of the Left Guard who was pro-army and the governor's mansion, came to visit.

When Zhu Biao heard it, he asked Liu Jin to pass him in, and Zhu Biao sat back in his place.

After Quan Xu came in, he landed on his knees directly, put his head deep on the floor, and said in a deep voice: "The last general Quan Xu sees His Highness, and is willing to slaughter the sword in His Highness's hand!" ”

Zhu Biao looked at him for a while and said: "Get up, how can the sword in the hands of this palace be mortal, whether you can do it depends on your own ability!" ”

Quan Xu didn't say anything when he got up in response to his promise, since His Highness wants to see his ability, then there is an opportunity to show his ability.

Zhu Biao said: "Where are the 30,000 people from the Governor's Mansion of the pro-army? ”

Quan Xu clenched his fists and replied, "I have assembled outside the city and are waiting for His Highness's orders." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Leave five thousand elites waiting outside the city, and the rest will go to the Northern Expedition camp." ”

Quan Xu left at the order, Liu Jin said at this time: "The slave maid has already checked, the father of General Quan is an old brother who followed the saint, and died in the twenty-second year of Zhizheng with Hu Dahai, the king of Jinhua, and Geng Zaicheng, the king of Huayang. ”

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Then you should be posthumously awarded a knighthood, right?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was still very generous to the old brothers who died in battle.

Liu Jin replied: "The saint posthumously awarded Wu Jinghou, but General Quan resigned from the position of marquis the next day after receiving the title, saying that he did not want to be exposed to the shadow of his father and ancestors. ”

Zhu Biao laughed, this is a smart person. The war is not over yet, what is a mere marquis, in exchange for a title for Longyan Dayue, in the future, Jane will have no chance to make meritorious contributions in the emperor's heart.

No, the opportunity was sent to him, and ordinary people are not qualified to be the pro-army commander of the prince and the general of Tiance.

Zhu Biao ordered a few snacks, and then he sank down to think about military affairs.

Kaiping Palace, Liu Jin's newly accepted son Liu An led five attendants to the gate and said to meet the eldest lady of the palace, and the guards guarding the door knew at a glance that someone was from the palace, and hurriedly went in to report.

After a while, Chang Mao led the housekeeper out, and when Liu An saw Chang Mao, he first smiled and said, "The slave and maid have given the prince a salute." ”

Chang Mao also politely helped him and said, "The little father-in-law is polite, I don't know what is the matter with asking to see my sister?" ”

Liu An straightened his waist and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a letter to hand over to the nobles, and I hope that the prince can guide him, so that the slaves and maids can complete His Highness's explanation." ”

As soon as Chang Mao heard that it was the prince who had a letter, he said happily: "There are many close friends of my sister in the backyard, and they all talk about poetry and songs together. ”

Chang Mao turned around and ordered: "Let the housekeeper lead the father-in-law to go." ”

Liu An smiled and saluted Chang Mao and then followed the steward, and as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw many maids whispering.

Liu An didn't pay attention to it, and walked to the main hall, and the steward was just about to go in to report, but was stopped by Liu An.

Liu An, who was originally smiling, lowered his face and took a few steps forward before he heard a girl's voice from inside: "Sister Chang's letter has been sent for two or three days, and there is still no reply from the palace, this..."

Immediately, someone said: "Hehe, I think His Highness is busy with military affairs, and he is not in the mood to take care of this little thing." ”

"No, Sister Chang is the future crown princess, how can His Royal Highness not give this face, isn't it rumored that His Royal Highness fell in love with Sister Chang at first sight?"

"What kind of identity is Your Highness, what kind of woman is not around the Supreme and Noble, how can you fall in love at first sight?"

"Enough! You also know that His Royal Highness is busy with official business, and he is still talking about yin and yang here! Isn't that you.........

Liu An coughed outside at this time, and a smile appeared on his face again and walked in.

The man's voice was different from the woman's, and it was immediately quiet inside, and Liu An walked in and saw Chang Luohua sitting on the main seat, and more than a dozen girls sitting below, and saw the eunuchs in the palace hurriedly got up.

Liu An first asked people to hand over Zhu Biao's letter to Chang Luohua's maids, and then led the attendants to kneel directly to the ground: "Slaves and maids are waiting to see the nobles, the slaves and maids are here to send you a letter by order of His Royal Highness the Prince, and they also brought some spring tea from the palace to serve you." ”

Chang Luohua took the envelope and didn't rush to open it, and said to Liu An: "It's hard for you to run, get up!" ”

Liu An got up with a smile and said, "It is my honor to serve His Highness and nobles. ”

Chang Luohua opened the letter and saw a few words written by Zhu Biao, and a smile appeared on his face.
