Chapter 984: East Palace
Nanjing Forbidden City, Spring and Palace.
Chunhe Palace is also the East Palace, located on the right side of Fengtian Palace, northwest of Wenhua Palace, is the residence of the crown prince and grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
Each hall of Chunhe Palace has a throne, a dragon bed, the bed is carved with colorful colors, and the plum tree is planted in front of the palace.
Prince Zhu He Majesty was literate at the age of three, read at the age of four, and left the cabinet at the age of six.
Zhu Cihong deliberately let the prince always be by his side, and since he was a child, he learned about military affairs, played chapters and regulations, and met ministers and foreign vassal kings with him, in order to give him the opportunity to learn and experience early.
Zhu Cihong also deliberately set aside a side hall next to the Qianqing Palace for the prince to live, and the father and son met in the morning and evening, and sometimes dined together.
Zhu Cihong is like Zhu Yuanzhang treated the prince Zhu Biao back then, and he trusts the prince without too many restrictions.
This time, Zhu Cihong asked the prince to supervise the country and allowed him to work in the Qianqing Palace, but although the prince was young, he also understood the truth, not only did not set foot in the Qianqing Palace for half a step, but also moved back to the prince's Chunhe Palace to live.
During the ordinary office, Zhu and His Majesty both studied and listened to politics in the Wenhua Hall where the cabinet was located, and consulted the elders of the cabinet.
The reverence for his father is only one of them, the important thing is that in the Chunhe Palace, Zhu He Majesty is supreme, saying one thing or another, he can do whatever he wants, and he will not feel pressure at all because of being in the Qianqing Palace.
The scale of the Chunhe Palace is very large, almost no less than the Qianqing Palace, if you count the surrounding supporting corridors, it can be larger than the scope of the Qianqing Palace.
The main hall of the East Palace is spacious and bright, refreshing and cool.
On the upper throne, Prince Zhu and His Majesty sat calmly like adults, and there were seven or eight teenagers sitting cross-legged on both sides of the lower head, surrounded by a large group of eunuchs and palace maids waiting quietly.
The young men are all students of the Jingshi Martial Arts Hall, and they are also the sons of Xungui, including the grandson of the young marquis of the Qin State Gongsun Yingyuan's family, as well as Xu Zhanpeng, the son of the Xu Sheng family, Zhu Jing, the son of Zhu Chenggong, and Li Zheng, the grandson of Li Tingbiao......
Needless to say, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince having a small meeting.
The theme of this meeting was initiated by the crown prince, and the discussion was about the Ming Dynasty's national conquest of Japan.
I only heard Zhu and His Majesty Zheng'er say: "Let's talk about it, if you are allowed to fight Little Japan, how can you kill them in the shortest possible time?" ”
The teenagers present were gossiping one after another, Xu Sheng's son Xu Zhanpeng followed his father, more direct, he shouted: "Of course it's a wave!" Beating a little Japan can't be as simple as a father beating a son? Drag it over and kick it! ”
Li Tingbiao's eldest grandson, Li Zhengdao: "Sun Tzu said, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, of course, you must first grasp the intelligence, it is best to send Jinyi Wei to infiltrate the room of the young general Tokugawa Ietsuna, and have a beheading operation, as well as several elders and elders of the shogunate, none of them will be left, and they will all be assassinated!" ”
Zhu Chenggong's son Zhu Jingdao shook his head and said: "I don't approve, your method is not bright, besides, Sun Tzu also said that all the law of using soldiers, the whole country is the first, the country is second, the whole army is the first, and the army is second!" ”
Xu Zhanpeng touched his head and said, "What do you mean, Brother Jing can make it clear, okay?" ”
Zhu Jing, that is, Zheng Jing, was given the national surname by the Son of Heaven when he was born, and his name was changed to Zhu Chenggong, and he also changed his surname to the national surname and became Zhu Jing.
Zhu Jing was born in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, is fourteen years old this year, and is one of the two eldest children here, the other is Sun Yingyuan's son Sun Zhiyuan.
is a bit similar to his father Zhu Chenggong's temper, and Zhu Jing's temper is also ignited.
He said: "What I mean, we should send a naval fleet to grab the coastal areas of Japan in an open and honest manner, and force them to become our colonies, so that we can have the existing interests and long-term interests, and ensure that we will not lose!" ”
Zhu He nodded solemnly and said, "The words of Zhu Qing are deeply in line with the heart of this palace......"
He suddenly turned his head, looked at Sun Zhiyuan, who had been silent, and said, "Brother Zhiyuan, does he have a good plan?" ”
Sun Zhiyuan, like his father Sun Yingyuan, is taciturn and the most calm among the young noble children.
He replied: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, according to the opinion of the last general, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly under the couch? Japan must break the country in order to maximize the interests of our Ming Dynasty, and as for the strategy of breaking the country......"
He continued: "The last general thinks that all Japanese outlets to the sea should be blocked as soon as possible, foreign ships should be forbidden to supply them with grain and grass, and then send a strange army deep behind the enemy to destroy their crops and cause them to run out of food. Even if there is a slight setback, it can be attacked, retreated and defended, and trapped little Japan alive......"
"Okay!"
Zhu He smiled with his palms, praised and praised on the spot, and ordered the eunuch to take out ten silver yuan from his small treasury and reward it to Sun Zhiyuan.
Looking at the envious eyes of everyone, in order to appease everyone, he ordered the eunuchs to reward each with a silver dollar.
Although the reward was small, it was of great significance, and the children each had a happy face, and stuffed the silver yuan given by the prince into their bosoms and kept it carefully.
Some people are even thinking about having people make a hole in the silver round and wear a red rope as a pendant when they go home......
Outside the hall, Yang Tinglin, the first assistant, stroked his beard and smiled, feeling relieved.
The crown prince behaves calmly, his performance is amazing, the future will be a generation of heroes, and there will be a holy monarch in the Ming Dynasty again!
Yang Tinglin didn't come in either, handed the basic piece in his hand to the Xiaohuangmen of the East Palace, and turned to leave.
The little eunuch of Chunhe Palace hurriedly entered the hall with a notebook.
When Zhu He saw people coming in, he waved his hand unhappily and said, "Didn't you see that this palace is deliberating?" I don't understand the rules at all! ”
When he raised his eyes and saw the little eunuch holding a notebook in his hand, he said, "This palace asks you, has anyone been here just now?" ”
The little eunuch said: "Back to Your Highness, the first assistant Yang Taishi has come, and seeing that Your Highness is busy, I went back again." ”
"Oh."
The prince didn't care, opened the recital and read it silently.
He was shocked to find that the content of this manuscript submitted by the cabinet was actually the plan proposed by Sun Zhiyuan just now, the imperial court was going to completely blockade Japan, and all trade with the Ming Dynasty was prohibited!
Zhu and His Majesty closed the recital, and then asked, "Is Master Mao here?" ”
The little eunuch said: "Back to Your Highness, Lord Mao came early in the morning, and he is still waiting for you in the side hall." ”
Master Mao, that is, Mao Xiang, was awarded the title of Prince Taifu for teaching the prince, even if he was busy with official affairs, Mao Xiang never missed work every day, and came to the East Palace on time to give a lecture to the prince.
Zhu He nodded slightly, and said, "Well, let Master Mao wait for a while, the palace will go later, is anyone still coming?" ”
The little eunuch replied: "Lord Yang, the second assistant of the cabinet, also came, saying that he had something important to ask His Highness, and he had been waiting in front of the palace for half an hour. ”
Zhu He sighed lightly, since he was in charge of the country for half a month, the East Palace has almost become a tourist attraction, and he has to entertain several ministers every day, and he is most afraid of hearing these old men chatter.
However, this Yang Shicong is different, he speaks very well and is not pedantic.
Whenever he came to meet, during the conversation, when Zhu and His Majesty were about to sit down, Yang Shicong would quickly wipe the dragon chair, more than a personal eunuch.
Yang Shicong also told Zhu Hema many times that even if he told him anything, he promised to do it and showed his loyalty in disguise.
This kind of person is the most likeable, adults like it, and children like it too.
In Xiao Zhu's eyes, the second assistant Yang Shicong is more cordial than the first assistant Yang Tinglin, after all, Yang Shicong is waiting respectfully in front of the East Palace, and Yang Tinglin is directly entering the East Palace.......
His Majesty Zhu looked at the young men and said, "That's it for today, there are still things to deal with in this palace, everyone should step down." ”
"The Last General's Order!"
Several teenagers saluted with their fists and exited the hall in an orderly manner.
