After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao returned to Xianyang Palace, and the whole person was full of comfort.

Things are going on in an orderly manner, and this is the best news for him.

Among them, the father has a lot of credit, and in many invisible places, it is the father who is helping him stabilize the situation. Some people who wanted to stand up and speak against the tune were also held down by Daddy as soon as possible.

The three scholars in the cabinet, Zhu Houzhao also changed his opinion of them, at least they didn't jump out and go against the tune, which may also have something to do with their father's control, or it may have something to do with their deep understanding of righteousness.

Glancing at Liu Jin who was following behind him, Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and said, "Go to the crown princess." ”

In fact, in Zhu Houzhao's palace, there is only one woman he sleeps with, that is, his crown princess.

Although other people were also arranged in the palace, Zhu Houzhao refused all of them.

The boy is not greedy for joy, he can still do it.

The most important thing is that he knows to take care of himself, so that he doesn't die too early. It doesn't matter whether he is afraid of death, he still has a lot of things to do, and there must be no problems with his body.

So he has a good relationship with the crown princess, after all, no one competes with the crown princess for favor.

You must know that in the prince's palace, who doesn't want to be favored by the prince?

It is a road to the sky, and once you walk up to it, you will reach the sky in one step.

Coming to the residence of the crown princess, Zhu Hou took care of the crown princess who came out, walked in front of her with a smile, stretched out his hand and took her hand, and then said: "We don't have to be so polite between husband and wife, we welcome them every time." ”

With a smile on her face, the crown princess Xia said softly: "Your Highness is here, and the concubine is happy in her body. ”

This is also where the crown princess Xia will be a person.

She won't say anything about the rules of the palace or anything, she will only say that she is happy because of Zhu Houzhao's arrival, so she will greet her, which makes people happy in their hearts.

Zhu Houzhao's heart was naturally happy, and he turned his head to Liu Jin and instructed: "Let people prepare food, this palace is hungry." ”

"It's better to arrange it as a concubine!" Crown Princess Xia said with a smile: "Gonggong Liu follows you every day, and he is very tired of running in and out, so don't call him for these little things." ”

After speaking, she smiled softly and looked at Zhu Houzhao softly.

Zhu Houzhao knew that she was selling Liu Jin well, or buying Liu Jin. And he just smiled and didn't speak.

If you do it in front of yourself, you are naturally asking for your consent. If you don't react, you prove that you have allowed it; If you react, prove that you don't agree.

Xia's approach made Zhu Houzhao very satisfied.

Rather than grumbling behind his back, the emperor prefers this directness.

"Slave and maid thank the crown princess." Liu Jin hurriedly said.

For this crown princess, he did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest, because in the prince's palace, the prince liked this princess, and it can be said that he had deep feelings.

Who knows if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will learn from His Majesty back then? If father and son are the same, then there will be this hostess in the palace in the future.

Now that you have offended such a hostess, the end will definitely be very miserable by then, just look at the queen's status in the palace.

Therefore, Liu Jin was naturally happy about the kindness of the crown princess, and at the same time did not dare to refuse.

"It is the duty of the slave to serve His Royal Highness and the crown princess, and the slave is very happy in her heart, so she is naturally not tired." Liu Jin said with a smile again.

"Alright, don't talk about that. The crown princess feels sorry for you, and you just suffer it. Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, smiled and pulled the princess inside, and said softly: "Just let them do it, if you don't let them do it, they will be even more afraid." ”

This is actually the way of survival in the palace, and Zhu Houzhao is also teaching the crown princess.

You let them do things and keep them busy, which means that you value him; If they were left with nothing to do, they would be in even greater panic.

What's the point of being busy?

This is a sign of favor.

"The concubine knows!" Crown Princess Xia said delicately.

After eating in the crown princess, Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't leave.

After the first break of the clouds and rain, Zhu Houzhao hugged the crown princess Xia and said softly: "Today at my father's place, I talked about Horqin. ”

The crown princess naturally knows about this matter, of course, her focus is different from others.

The people of the DPRK and China are concerned about the overall situation, the Horqin grassland. But the crown princess, she focused on the woman in Horqin.

In fact, she has been paying attention to this event since the day it happened. Worried about competing for favor, a woman from Horqin naturally has no way to threaten her status.

It's just that a woman is going to enter this mansion, and there is some discomfort in her heart after all, and she has not imagined that if her prince can be like her father, it will really be better.

During this period of time, the crown princess was very satisfied with her prince's husband.

Knowing cold and knowing hot and having a good temper, it is good to learn martial arts, and he is the person with the highest status in the future of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally has nothing to dissatisfaction with.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao talk about this matter today, of course she will be able to understand. Although there was some loss in her heart, she still spoke: "Is Your Highness worried about the concubine?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country, and it is his duty to spread branches and leaves for the royal family. Not to mention marrying a Horqin woman, even if you marry all the women in the world, the concubine will only be happy for His Royal Highness. ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced playfully at the crown princess in his arms, and then said, "There is no need to say these words. This palace married this woman, and you know why. The palace won't tell you the truth, and you can take care of the affairs in the harem. Zhu Houzhao hugged the princess hard and said with a smile.

In fact, this is an affirmation, handing over the affairs of the palace to the crown princess, which is completely treating her as the hostess.

From this point of view, this is to establish the dominance of the crown princess Xia before other women enter the door.

In this era, the status of the eldest woman is absolutely supreme. Spoiling a concubine and killing a wife is to be punished, and if the court officials dare to do this, they will not be able to keep their official positions, and they will even be condemned by mainstream public opinion.

Zhu Houzhao naturally would not make such a mistake.

A flash of surprise flashed on the princess's face, she had been waiting for this day for a long time, but she still said with some coquettishness: "The concubine is afraid that she will not be able to manage it well." ”

"It's nothing," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Didn't you come to He Neng a few days ago?" This palace transferred him to you, and you can ask him about something. The old man in the palace, there is nothing he doesn't understand. ”

He Neng has served his father for so many years, and he can be said to be experienced. From a small eunuch at the bottom to the top, strength and scheming are indispensable.

You must know that the competition in the palace is not gentler than that from the outside, the sword and sword, and her own crown princess is inexperienced, so it is very suitable to put He Neng by her side.

As for He Neng's loyalty, Zhu Houzhao is not worried.

This is a person who has done black things for himself, and such subordinates are trustworthy.

Besides, the crown princess will be his backer in the future, and he knows very well how fierce the competition around him is.

Not to mention Liu Jin, who he trusts, the other eunuchs in the Eighth Bureau are not fuel-efficient lamps.

He Neng also knows what he lacks, a latecomer, what he lacks is the foundation.

The crown princess is different, he is the big boss when he comes. If he can gain the trust of the crown princess, his status in the palace will be very high in the future.

When she ascends the throne, the crown princess will be the queen. Who dares to underestimate the eunuchs beside the queen?

It's hard to say whether he fights for favor or not, but no one dares to clean him up, this is his basic plate.

He Neng is a smart man, he knows how to choose, and he knows how to do it.

"That's great." The crown princess said with a smile, and she knew in her heart that this was the person sent by the prince to help her.

As for whether she was looking at herself, she wasn't really worried, so this He Neng was a trustworthy person.

The two of them talked a little more privately, and then slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao got up very early, and when he saw that the crown princess Xia was about to get up, he said: "There is nothing to do in the palace, just lie down for a while." The main palace is going out of the palace today, and I won't stay here for long. ”

Although Zhu Houzhao said this, the crown princess still insisted and waited for Zhu Houzhao to wash, change clothes and eat.

After everything was done, Zhu Houzhao said goodbye to the crown princess and left the Forbidden City.

He is going to the house of the British Duke Zhang Rong today to talk to the old British Prince.

For this old British duke, Zhu Houzhao is respectful.

Since the beginning of his own reform of the military system, the old British duke has not given himself any stumbling blocks, and has always given full support, and even damaged some interests of the nobles for this.

Especially in the matter of honorable taxes, he also took the lead in supporting. In the past few years, he has given himself a lot of support, so Zhu Houzhao should also give him enough respect.

In this matter, there is nothing to discuss, Zhu Houzhao wants to win the hearts of the nobles, the Ming Dynasty was so chaotic but can still basically operate, it is because of these people who are maintaining stability.

Even when it came to the Apocalypse Dynasty, the British Duke Zhang Weixian still played the role of the anchor of the sea.

It's just that they are relatively bad, and they have no ability to fight, so they are hammered by all sides.

Of course, this is not all their responsibility, and they have no substantive power in the later stage. Training and forging equipment were not under their control, but because most of the middle and lower-level officers were their people, and they could also help the emperor control the country's army.

Now it is different, the army of the Ming Dynasty has been turned upside down, and the nobles have risen again. After the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, these people spoke loudly.

When Zhu Houzhao came, he was only wearing civilian clothes. But the people in the British government still recognized Zhu Houzhao.

They didn't know Zhu Houzhao himself, but they knew Liu Jin, who was with Zhu Houzhao.

So the news quickly spread.

The middle door of the British Mansion was wide open, and the old British Duke Zhang Rong personally took it out.

After some etiquette, Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and took Zhang Rong's hand, and said with a smile: "Guogong is really too polite, the palace is just out for a walk." remembered that Guogong was not feeling well a few days ago, so he thought of coming over to take a look. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, and the family will naturally welcome him." Zhang Rong said with a smile.

Zhang Rong has been a little old in the past two years, although his body is still quite tough, but his back is hunched and his waist is bent.

Zhu Houzhao pulled Zhang Rong and walked inside with a smile. Hula followed behind.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and then said with a smile: "Okay, let them all retreat!" ”

Everyone hurriedly dispersed, and Zhu Houzhao pulled Zhang Rong into the hall.

After the monarch and the minister took their seats, Zhu Houzhao said: "Seeing that the prince is in good health, the palace is also relieved." The Ming Dynasty also needs Guogong. ”

"The minister is old, the person is old and collapsed, if something is not done well, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhang Rong hurriedly said.

This is actually pleading, and he took the lead in making trouble.

You must know that this is the policy implemented by Zhu Houzhao, and he took the lead in making trouble, which meant not giving Zhu Houzhao face, which was to deliver a message to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "Guogong's words are wrong, the Ming Dynasty is full of civil and military affairs, if you talk about loyalty to the court and the emperor, Guogong is definitely in the forefront. For so many years in the Ming Dynasty, the honors and nobles in the court have made indispensable contributions, and the prince is the pillar of the country. As long as it is out of public interest, it is not too much to say anything. Whether it is the father or the palace, they are all able to speak and admonish. ”

Zhu Houzhao is also telling Zhang Rong, you are so old, you have merit in your family, and you are loyal to me and my father, so you don't care if you say anything.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhang Rong hurriedly said.

"Come here today, there are some things I want to discuss with the prince." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

In fact, Zhang Rong also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not only visit him when he came to his home.

If it was really just to see himself, it was likely that he was dying, and His Majesty asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come down and take a look.

No exceptions.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to order." Zhang Rong said.

"This palace came here today, mainly for two things. First, he wanted to set up a governor in Liaodong to command the generals of Liaodong, as well as the military of Daning and Horqin New Town, and the palace wanted Zhang Weixian to go over. When it comes to military talent among the younger generation in the DPRK and China, Zhang Weixian is definitely one of the best. ”

"The things over there are more burdensome, and the palace wants him to pass, but thinking that Guogong is old, Zhang Weixian can't be filial piety by his side, so he can't bear it, but he can't find any suitable candidates, so he discusses it with Guogong. Guogong can rest assured, if Guogong feels that something is wrong, please tell it, this palace must not be difficult. ”

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhang Rong's face suddenly showed joy.

This is a chance to give his grandson a chance to be on his own. It seems that his careful thinking has not been hidden from His Royal Highness the Prince.

He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, but he still hurriedly said: "It is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the country and use his life for the king." ”

The Zhang family has been in the military for generations, and all countries are useful, and the king is useful, although he has not regretted his death, not to mention that this is the importance that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince value him.

It is a blessing for him to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, how can he refuse?

"Although the heirs of the old minister's family are not luxuriant, they are filial piety in front of their knees, and there are many people, and he is not one of them, please don't worry about His Royal Highness the Prince. If it weren't for the old minister's decay and unappointable appointment, the old minister would be willing to ask for his life to go to Liaodong. ”
