It was already afternoon when Zhu Biao returned to the palace, and Zhu Biao looked at the sky and went straight to the imperial study.

Zhu Biao was ordered to wait when he approached the imperial study, and the leading eunuch knelt directly on the ground: "Slave and maid see the prince!"

Zhu Biao waved his hand to signal him to get up, and after the eunuch got up, he said, "Your Excellency the Crown Prince, please go in directly." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and went directly into the imperial study, and when he got inside, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang reading the folds with a tired face, Zhu Biao frowned and stepped forward and said, "Father, you are too tired, you can't stand it like this!" ”

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang find out that Zhu Biao was coming, put down the music in his hand, sighed and said: "We have to deal with all major national affairs in person, so we can rest assured!" Moreover, most of the officials in various places are from the military, and they are a mess when dealing with local government affairs, so we have to wipe their butts! ”

As soon as Zhu Biao thought of those rough men as officials, the virtue of the black whirlwind Li Kui as the county magistrate appeared in his mind!

Zhu Biao said helplessly: "It's time to hold the imperial examination to select talents, otherwise you can't wipe so many butts." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded the stinky boy with a smile, and then picked up the music again: "How about going to Chang Yuchun today?" I heard that you also brought the Langzhong you were looking for, what's going on? ”

Zhu Biao found a place to sit down and replied: It's okay, I just want to report to my father that Uncle Chang's health is ill, and it is diagnosed that if you don't cultivate for a few months, something may happen. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "I will go on the expedition after the beginning of spring next year, this is not the right time!" ”

Zhu Biao replied with a smile: "Where can birth, old age, sickness and death be as people wish!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let Lan Yu be responsible!" Biao'er, you don't want to go out recently, read more military books in the East Palace with peace of mind, if you go to the battlefield just as a decoration, then there is no point in going! ”

Zhu Biao stood up and bowed to the promise, and then accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to watch the music for a while before retreating.

In the days that followed, Zhu Biao did not go out, and some policies in the court that were criticized by later generations have also been introduced, Zhu Biao knew that these were not very good, but he did not stop them.

These policies are not good for the future Ming, but they do not mean that they are bad for the current Ming.

There is also the fact that although Zhu Biao is now the crown prince, after all, he is young, and the real party has not yet been formed, and his influence in the court is not high.

And Zhu Biao is not in a hurry, he is only fourteen years old after the New Year, and when he returns from this expedition, he will have the confidence to influence the court situation.

In this way, after three months, Zhu Biao studied in the Wenhua Hall every morning, went to the school in the afternoon to ride horses and shoot arrows, and went to see his younger brothers and sisters when he was free.

Until one day in early April, Zhu Biao got up early and put on his court clothes, he is also fourteen years old this year, it is the time of development, he has been raising well over the years, and his height has begun to rise rapidly, and his clothes are no longer suitable, fortunately, he will not lack clothes in his identity.

Zhu Biao put on a bright yellow dragon robe and walked towards the Fengtian Hall with the Dongzhu crown on his head.

The court meeting has not yet begun, but the door of the Fengtian Hall has been opened, and the civil and military officials inside are basically in place, and they are all gathered together to talk.

When Zhu Biao stepped into the palace gate, the imperial guard who was guarding next to him shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”

There was an instant silence inside, and all the ministers turned to Zhu Biao and shouted: "The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness has been for a long time." ”

Zhu Biao showed a warm smile on his face, and also arched his hand and said, "Everyone is fine, let's all be flat!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Biao walked to the front of them by himself, and there were only Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others next to him.

Li Shanchang is closing his eyes to recuperate, the court affairs are busy, and as the prime minister, he is also busy every day.

But when the prince arrived by his side, he didn't dare to continue to recuperate, so he had to cheer up and say a few words to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao preemptively said: "The court is heavy on things, and you can't do without it for a day, so if you rest more, you don't need to pay attention to the palace." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao took the initiative to walk to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's side: "What are the two uncles talking about?" ”

Xu Dahaha laughed a few times and said: "I am chatting about the good things of His Highness is approaching, congratulations to His Highness for getting his wish!" ”

Zhu Biao didn't know if the good thing Xu Da said was that he was about to lead the troops to the expedition or his marriage to Chang Luohua......

I asked a few more words about Chang Yuchun's body, and I was relieved to learn that there was no major problem.

After a while, a eunuch came and shouted silence! This is to remind the ministers to take their places, and the emperor is coming soon.

The court was quiet in an instant, and after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang strode onto the emperor's throne in a red dragon robe, and everyone knelt down and shouted: "Ministers and others to meet Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Zhongqing, let's be even." ”

Then the ministers began to report to the emperor on the government affairs they handled, as well as the important matters that needed to be discussed by the imperial court.

Zhu Biao stood quietly and waited, about half an hour later, the issues that were still discussed were all discussed, and the secretary of the military department came out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang nodding, the military department Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, now that the cold winter has passed, should the imperial court send troops to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun?" It has been nearly 400 years since the Han people lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, and now I have swept the foreign tribes to unify the world, and this spring is blooming, it is a good time to recover the lost land, and I am willing to ask Your Majesty to send troops to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun! ”

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not happy: "Your Majesty, the new dynasty has just been established, the imperial court is in ruins, and the country is in poverty and declining!" Now is the time to restore the country's strength, not to start a war again! ”

After saying this, the generals were not happy: "What is it called to raise troops in vain, is there anything wrong with recovering the lost territory and expanding the territory?" ”

Yushi eats by mouth, those generals have said about them, and the dogs who were scolded after a few words were bloody, and the angry generals gritted their teeth, fortunately, the court did not let them do it, otherwise the hospital would be too busy today. ”

A group of people quarreled for another half an hour and couldn't tell the winner, at this time, Zhu Biao saw that the time was almost up, so he took two steps forward and said, "Father, Erchen thinks it's time to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!" ”

As soon as the generals heard this, their momentum rose, and they whispered hello in their mouths, and stimulated the imperial historians with contemptuous eyes.

And the imperial historians were like frosted eggplants, looking at the bright yellow back with tears in their eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious expression: "Huangkou Xiaoer, how much do you know about the major affairs of the soldiers, do you know that together with the war, how many good sons and daughters of my Ming Dynasty will die on the battlefield!"

Zhu Biao replied with a calm expression: "Erchen naturally does not have the thoughtfulness of his father and the ministers, but Erchen thinks that since ancient times, the Yanyun region has been a battleground for soldiers, and the terrain of Yanyun's sixteen states is dangerous, especially the Yanshan Mountains and Taihang Mountains, which are difficult obstacles for foreign cavalry to overcome. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes showed satisfaction, and Zhu Biao continued to say loudly: "What's more, the Yanyun area is rich in products, especially horses, which can just make up for the shortcomings of my Daming's lack of excellent horse farms."

Listening to the prince's words, whispers sounded in the court, and many ministers showed a look of approval.

Zhu Biao added a lot of strength: "Father, the Yuan court is newly defeated, and the defenders who want to come to guard Yanyun must be panicked, and my Ming Dynasty has just swept the world, and it is the time when the momentum is like a rainbow. ”

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, his head firmly attached to the ground.
