Zhu Hao forgot to cover it up just now, and directly said his inner thoughts about wanting to go to Liaodong to fight, but when he said it, he said it, and Zhu Hao no longer covered it up.

Zhu Hao looked at the unkind expression of his emperor's eldest brother, knelt down on one knee with a straight face, and said seriously: "Brother Xinwang Zhu Youzhen, please fight Liaodong!" Inspect Liaodong for Your Majesty and deter the barbarians, please allow Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Hao's serious attitude, knowing that Zhu Hao was not joking with him, but serious, he sighed, and hurriedly helped Zhu Hao up and said: "Brother Huang, I can understand your feelings, but I don't approve of your approach!" At present, Liaodong has become very delicate since the battle of Sarsh, and it is not clear when it will be a big war again, although I have no objection to you going to the battlefield, but I have to wait for you to be older, not now! ”

This is the only time in Zhu Youxiao's life that he has such a strong attitude and puts on an imperial posture towards Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao heard that his emperor's eldest brother didn't agree, so he wanted to say something again, but before Zhu Hao's words could be spoken, Zhu Youxiao said: "Okay, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore, it's decided!" I've made up my mind! ”

Ordinary courtiers heard "I have made up my mind!" These four words will not be admonished again, because it is not only meaningless to admonish again, but also may lose his life because of angering the emperor.

However, Zhu Hao is not an ordinary courtier, he is a prince and the emperor's younger brother, and he did not say "I have made up my mind!" because of his emperor's eldest brother! These four words, thus changing his mind and giving up going to Liaodong, his face was heavy, and he said in a sonorous tone: "The younger brother has grown up now, not a child, in the past, Ganluo was twelve years old to worship the prime minister, and now the younger brother is the same age as Ganluo, why can't he fight Liaodong for His Majesty?" If Your Majesty insists and you don't allow your brother to go to Liaodong, your brother will go to guard the spirits of the previous emperors and never return to the capital! ”

Zhu Youxiao didn't get angry when he heard Zhu Hao disobey him so much, because he knew that Zhu Hao did this to contribute to the court and share his worries for the emperor, so Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's firm words, his face was solemn, and then he sighed heavily and said, "Brother Huang, why are you doing this?" I can't bear that you have just returned to the capital, and you are going to Liaodong again, where the situation is delicate! I feel sorry for you! Why don't you understand my feelings? Why do you force me like this? Zhu Youxiao said, his eyes were a little red, and there was a glitter in his eyes.

Zhu Hao listened to the words of his emperor's eldest brother, knowing that he was doing it for his own good, and his heart was also very moved, but he really had reasons not to go on this trip, and these reasons could not be told to his emperor's eldest brother, because Zhu Hao knew that whether it was the upcoming battle of Liaoyang and Shenyang, or the search for a mysterious nun, to avoid the attack of the Donglin Party, or to set up the Liaodong Branch of the Intelligence Department, if he said it, in addition to shocking the world, he would not be able to convince his emperor's eldest brother to change his mind. On the contrary, it is possible that because of this impending war, his eldest brother of the emperor will completely insist on not letting him go to Liaodong.

Therefore, Zhu Hao did not say this, but knelt down on one knee again and said: "Brother Xinwang Zhu Youzhen, please go to Liaodong and patrol Liaodong for Your Majesty!" Your Majesty's permission! ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Hao, calmly faced, walked back and forth several times, and then sighed heavily: "Hey! All right! However, I have to tell you in advance that now the armaments, money and food in various places are extremely tight, and now that the imperial court has no soldiers and horses, they can be transferred to you, do you still want to go to Liaodong? ”

Although Zhu Youxiao likes handicrafts more than court politics, but because he is a descendant of the Zhu family, he does not like court politics, but he is very talented, so the current situation of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Youxiao is very clear in his heart, and at the same time Zhu Youxiao also understands that Zhu Hao wants to go to Liaodong to make contributions, and the main intention of what he said is to hope that Zhu Hao can retreat in the face of difficulties and give up the idea of going to Liaodong.

However, how did Zhu Youxiao know that Zhu Hao had planned something premeditated, so Zhu Youxiao's seemingly promised words were actually refused, so Zhu Hao directly seized the opportunity and said: "Brother Xie Your Majesty!" The younger brother can take his 5,000 guards to Liaodong, and His Majesty does not need to send a single soldier or a penny of food. ”

The five thousand guards Zhu Hao said naturally refers to the dragon and tiger guards led by Xu Chu, and according to the usual practice, the prince's guards and horses naturally do not need to be paid by the imperial court, After Zhu Hao now controls Zheng Zhilong, the materials at sea basically meet the food and salary of the intelligence department, and Zhu Hao's own annual allowance is more than enough to support these five thousand soldiers and horses, which is not a problem at all, so Zhu Hao will say so.

Zhu Youxiao heard Zhu Hao say this, and there was no excuse anymore, so he could only nod and say with a calm face: "Since this is the case, then I won't say anything else, but I told you in advance that you are not allowed to ask about the military of Liaodong when you go to Liaodong, and you are not allowed to easily engage with the Jin State, otherwise even if I go to Liaodong in person, I will have to tie you back!" ”

The meaning of Zhu Youxiao's words is obvious, that is, Liaodong can go, but not to the battlefield.

Zhu Youxiao said this, because he was afraid that Zhu Hao's blood would rise, and he relied on the identity of Qincha to directly command the Liaodong troops to fight Houjin, because of the battle of Salxu, Houjin's victory was more with less, and the Ming army of 300,000 soldiers and horses was annihilated, so that everyone in the Ming Dynasty did not want to fight against Houjin anymore, of course, Zhu Youxiao said this, mainly because he was worried about Zhu Hao's personal safety.

Although the words of his emperor's eldest brother made Zhu Hao not very satisfied, he very much hoped that he could go to Liaodong and directly take over the Liaodong military, so that he might be able to reverse the loss of Shenyang and Liaoyang, but he never thought that his emperor's eldest brother would directly block this road, which made Zhu Hao very depressed, but Zhu Hao thought that he would be outside, and if the king's order was not affected, he did not refute anything, he believed that as long as he arrived in Liaodong, he could naturally think of a way to change the situation of the battle between Liaoyang and Shenyang.

Thinking like this, Zhu Hao didn't say anything more, but showed a light smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Brother obey the order!" Please draft an order from Your Majesty, and your brother will immediately order troops and set off! ”

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Hao's words, frowned slightly, and said with a puzzled face: "Imperial brother, why are you so anxious, do you have something to hide from me?" ”

Zhu Hao listened to the words of his emperor's eldest brother, and was secretly shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "TNND, isn't this revealing stuffing?" How did he, a confused big brother, become so shrewd today? ”
