For Zhu Houzhao, who came back from the northwest, whether it was a nobleman or a gentry, or even a general in Liaodong, they all had great expectations.

In their opinion, Zhu Houzhao single-handedly built the system of Liaodong, and Qiweizhai also had a high status in Liaodong.

The person who supports the war against Horqin the most should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that in their opinion, Zhu Houzhao is just a question of whether he will send troops. Did he let Liaodong go to war directly? Or will the Black Dragon Army go to Liaodong to start a war?

The news soon spread that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not support the war.

This makes a lot of people unbelievable. After all, in everyone's eyes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daming. It should be the one who likes to fight the most, and this is a staunch main battle faction.

From the earliest formation of the Black Dragon Army, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been conducting expeditions in the north.

Now all the advantages of the Ming Dynasty in the north are inseparable from His Royal Highness the Prince.

Whether it is the annihilation of the fire sieving tribe in the northwest, or the defeat of Dayan Khan in the north. All of them were manipulated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In the hearts of everyone, they all felt that with such a big advantage, it was natural for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to march into Horqin, and it was not impossible to even directly launch a large-scale northern expedition like Emperor Taizong.

Therefore, after the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not support the war, there was an uproar in the government and the opposition.

Of course, if there is something unhappy, it will be happy.

Many ministers who have always opposed the war, or the old school, feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing the right thing.

They even sang praises for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, including moral stubbornness and vested interests. For example, the silk merchants in Jiangnan.

Woolen material is still relatively small. But it has hit a part of the high-end market. This caused the silk merchants to suffer a great loss, but for now the losses were still within the range of what they could bear.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already built a woolen mill in the northwest, and once Liaodong continues to expand production, plus the woolen mills in the northwest, the woolen output will definitely increase dramatically.

In such a situation, the losses of the silk merchants would be even greater, and they would be the last to see such a situation.

Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not want to send troops to Horqin, which just caters to their ideas. It's just that there is no way to say these words, they can only praise His Royal Highness the Prince's benevolence and righteousness, and say some clichés, why don't you use swords and soldiers? Though a nation is great and warlike, it will perish.

It's just that they are happy, but those who have invested in Liaodong are not happy.

However, soon the second news came out again, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was willing to accept Korqin's surrender, it was not without requirements.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to build a city in Horqin, and this city is to be garrisoned by the Ming Dynasty, and he can trade with Horqin here.

Of course, the exact situation has not yet been revealed, but it is clear that things are not that simple.

People who have investments in Liaodong, although they are very anxious in their hearts, they have no way to meet His Royal Highness the Prince.

However, there are also ways to do this, for example, you can go to Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, this uncle can naturally enter the palace.

Looking at Zhang Heling in front of him, Zhu Houzhao said helplessly: "Do you also think that this palace does not agree to conquer Horqin?" ”

Zhang Heling hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "Naturally, the minister will not think so, and those people who think like this are all short-sighted. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and wise, and naturally has his own ideas no matter what he does. Those people are extremely stupid, and they actually speculate on the intentions of His Royal Highness the Prince, which is simply unfounded. ”

Zhu Hou looked at Zhang Heling and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but my uncle's kung fu is very good." ”

"Chen, this is telling the truth, not sycophancy." Zhang Heling hurriedly said with a serious face.

Those people in the court haven't figured out His Royal Highness's thoughts for all these years, so it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Prince's thoughts are what they can think of.

Waving his hand, Zhu Houzhao said, "Since it's not for this matter, then what is the matter with you entering the palace to see the palace?" ”

Zhang Heling suddenly smiled, took a few steps forward to Zhu Houzhao's side, and whispered: "Isn't this trying to share the worries of His Royal Highness the Prince?" Just now, the minister met with His Majesty, and His Majesty said that the matter of receiving the envoy of Horqin this time had been handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The minister originally wanted to ask for a request to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, but His Majesty asked the minister to come to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Glancing at Zhang Heling, Zhu Houzhao said with some tears and laughter: "Contribute to Daming?" What do you want to say? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, how can he talk about these things with the people of Horqin? The minister thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely need to run errands alone. The minister thinks the minister can. Zhang Heling hurriedly said with a smile.

Zhu Hou glanced at Zhang Heling, of course he knew what his uncle thought.

That's what comes to bargaining. You must know that your duty is to be in charge of the surrender of this time, how could you run to negotiate with the Horqin people?

Naturally, these things are done by the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette. Isn't there still a Honglu Temple? There is no need for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go out at all.

Of course, Zhang Heling also knew these things, but he just pretended not to know. He wanted to get involved in this matter, and the purpose was very simple.

First, it is for meritorious service, which is the credit of white picking up after all. Of course, this is only one aspect, and it is not the main aspect. Zhang Heling is the uncle of the country, and the credit is not so important to him, as long as he doesn't make mistakes.

The reason why he did this was actually to find out the news and want to seize the opportunity to take advantage.

Rumors of the construction of a city in Korqin have been spread, and now everyone wants to find out what is going on inside.

Although some people think that the crown prince does not want to fight, more people will definitely think that there are other things in it.

Whatever the reason, as long as the city is built in Korqin, then it is profitable.

What is the price of the pastures around Daning now? The pastures of Horqin are better than those of Daning City.

Whoever takes the lead in this opportunity will be able to get more benefits. That's all money, who doesn't want it? Even Zhang Heling, the national uncle, is the same.

Even if Zhang Heling didn't have any ideas, the people behind him would push him.

You must know that Zhang Heling now represents not only himself, but a whole interest group behind him. Most of them are nobles, and some of them are nobles.

These people all want to take advantage, so they naturally want to let Zhang Heling enter the palace to find out the news.

And Zhang Heling knows himself. Knowing that he wouldn't tell him the news directly, he simply prepared to ask for an errand.

Obviously, on Dad's side, Zhang Heling has been convinced, and the rest is a matter of nodding on his side.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Houzhao felt that this was also very good. At least one person will spread the word to the outside world, so that those people will not misunderstand what the prince meant.

It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's still important.

They understood what they meant. Only then do you know what to do.
