Inside the palace, Zhu Youzhu and Empress Zhang were waiting for Zhu Houzhao and Princess Xia, and the two knew that Zhu Houzhao had come.

What happened outside had already been reported to the two of them by the palace people. Regarding the relationship between their son and the crown princess, Zhu Youzhu and Queen Zhang were very pleased, and they were also happy to see that their son and the crown princess had such a good relationship.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao and the crown princess walking in hand together, Zhu Youzhu and Empress Zhang had smiles on their faces at the same time. The crown prince and the crown princess have a very strong relationship, and these parents are naturally very pleased.

Zhu Houzhao pulled the crown princess to respectfully salute his father and mother, and he said: "Erchen has seen his father and mother. ”

Empress Zhang walked to Zhu Houzhao's side with a smile. Stretched out his hand to pull his son and daughter-in-law up, and said with a smile: "The family doesn't need so many courtesies." At the same time, he turned his head and looked at the crown princess with a warm smile and comforted: "I've suffered you these days." ”

Princess Xia looked flattered, and hurriedly said softly: "This is the duty of a concubine. ”

The family had dinner together. Princess Yongning kept carrying her bird cage and teasing the parrot in the cage, and she became the pistachio of the whole audience at night.

On this night, Zhu Houzhao did not mention the matter of Liaodong; Zhu Youzhu also did not mention the affairs of the DPRK and China. Everyone just had a family dinner.

All the way to the moment of the lamp. Zhu Houzhao returned to Xianyang Palace with Princess Xia.

This night, naturally, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and even the moon shyly hid in the clouds.

The next morning, Zhu Houzhao rarely got up late. The murderous aura accumulated in the northwest was almost dissolved by Gentle Township at this time. He didn't get up until after three o'clock in the morning, but the person next to him didn't know where to go.

Walking out of the palace, rubbing her hungry stomach, Zhu Hou took care of the princess preparing breakfast.

He walked behind the crown princess, gently stretched out his hands to wrap around the waist that could be held by Yingying, put his head on the princess's soft shoulders, and said with a smile: "If the king doesn't go to court early, he is talking about the palace." ”

For Zhu Houzhao's inattention, the crown princess has long been used to it. She glanced back at Zhu Houzhao with disgust, and said with a smile: "That's the sin of the concubine." ”

Zhu Houzhao also smiled, gently let go of the crown princess's waist and said: "This is just a reason for the mediocre emperor to give himself, they value beauty more than the country and the people, this is their own problem." It's just that they don't dare to admit it, so they put the blame on the women, just to cover up their own cowardice. ”

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words. The crown princess smiled again and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Royal Highness has the world and the people in your heart, this is the blessing of the world and the people. ”

Reaching out to hold the crown princess's hand, Zhu Houzhao said softly: "This palace is just doing what it should do." There are many disturbances in the world, just find what you should do. Now what the palace has to do is eat, and the crown princess and the palace are together. ”

After speaking, he pulled the princess to the dinner table.

Zhu Houzhao's breakfast has always been very simple. It's the same today: a plate of steamed buns and millet porridge.

Princess Xia is also willing. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Zhu Houzhao is also very satisfied with his crown princess.

The two of them had breakfast together. Zhu Houzhao left Xianyang Palace.

Nothing was discussed yesterday, and apparently Daddy was already in a hurry.

Korqin's surrender has already made Dad a little anxious. Now that I've come back, although I have to talk to my dad to make it clear, I guess my dad is also waiting for me.

If it doesn't pass now, it is estimated that Daddy will be really angry.

When Zhu Houzhao came to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhu was already here.

Obviously, Zhu Youzhu didn't sleep well last night.

Maybe it's the things in Liaodong that make my dad feel annoyed. However, in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, this is not a matter at all.

Walk into the palace. Zhu Houzhao came to Zhu Youzhang. Saluted respectfully and said, "The son has seen his father." ”

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay!" Don't mess with these things that you don't have. But you are young, don't indulge in wine too much. Your body is good, but you also need to pay attention to recuperation. The body is the capital, you say it yourself. ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Houzhao also smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "Father is strong. It seems that he listened to the words of his son. ”

"Alright! What do you think about the affairs of Liaodong? This matter has been bothering Zhu Youzhu for so many days, and now when he sees his son, he obviously can't help it.

Hearing his father's question, Zhu Houzhao's expression also became serious.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Houzhao spoke: "The matter in Liaodong was actually expected by Erchen. Since Liaodong built a textile mill and auctioned off pastures, the problem has actually existed. Whether it's a textile mill or a pasture, it all needs people to operate it. ”

"Now that cashmere material is selling so well, whether it is North Korea or Daming, the demand is very large. Liaodong's generals and nobles, they all want to earn more money. In this way, they need more pasture and people. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded appreciatively while listening to his son's analysis.

"Compared with the displaced people who were recruited, the slaves were more economical and worry-free. In particular, these slaves were the best herdsmen, and this was especially necessary for those who had money. Therefore, it is reasonable that Jiangmen and the nobles and relatives support the war in Liaodong. ”

Zhu Houzhao finished talking about the current situation in Liaodong, and the words suddenly changed, "What Erchen is worried about now is that once Liaodong starts a war, it will be okay to defeat it; If the war is defeated, the good situation in Liaodong will be ruined. And our hard work in Liaodong was in vain. ”

Listen to my son. Zhu Youzhu nodded and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

"Originally, things in Liaodong were still a little tricky. Erchen sent the Black Dragon Army to Liaodong to at least ensure that the battle would be won. As for stopping the battle of Liaodong, it can be stopped for a while, but it can't be stopped for a lifetime. The generals and nobles of Liaodong are very enthusiastic about the war. The imperial court can't pour cold water on it, it will make them lose their fighting spirit. ”

"What's more, the Ming Dynasty really needs to occupy Horqin, and the pastures there are indeed more suitable for grazing. If the imperial court wants to completely solve the Mongol problem, it must defeat Horqin. ”

"Originally, Erchen thought that this battle would be fought. But now that Korqin has come to surrender, things have become much simpler. The generals of Liaodong and the nobles of the court only needed pastures and slaves. Just give them pasture and slaves, and the matter will be settled. Erchen wanted to build a city in Horqin and sent soldiers from Liaodong to settle in. ”

"Since then, Horqin belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court can give the lord of Horqin the title of king. This method can also be used elsewhere in the future. ”

Looking at his son who was talking eloquently, Zhu Youzhu showed a puzzled look on his face, looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "Can Horqin agree?" ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled confidently, "If they don't agree, it proves that they didn't really surrender." Da Ming sent troops to attack Horqin, and there was no problem. The Ming Dynasty occupies the righteousness. ”
