"Slave and maid, see Your Highness!" He Neng looked very heartfelt, first gave Zhu Houzhao a salute with a serious face, and then stood up with a bright smile on his face: "The emperor and the courtiers have heard about His Highness's victory over the Tartars in the northwest, and now the entire capital is praising His Highness's heroic deeds." ”

"The slave is happy for His Highness." He Neng smiled and patted a wave of sycophants, and then said, "Your Highness, the emperor has a will." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, he knew that He Neng was coming, and his father must have sent him, otherwise even if he gave himself a message, he would not need He Neng to come. Even if it's in the capital, the northwest side also lets He Neng take a trip, which shouldn't be. Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said, "Okay, then let's announce the decree!" Saying that, Zhu Houzhao bowed and stood up.

As the crown prince, there is no need to kneel to receive the holy decree, which is also one of Zhu Houzhao's preferential treatment as a prince.

He Neng hurriedly unfolded the holy decree, this is a central decree, and the core content can be summarized in one sentence, that is, "Rabbit cub, get back!" ”

Of course, the holy decree will be kept on file, naturally it is impossible to be so straightforward, and he praised Zhu Houzhao at the beginning, and then asked him to go back. obediently borrowed the will, in fact, Zhu Houzhao had already expected that as long as the good news was transmitted back to the capital, his father would definitely let him go back, and there would be no suspense at all, so there was no resistance.

In Zhu Youjiao's heart, what is a victory, what if the fire is extinguished? This is the only son of his own.

Daming Jiangshan is just this one heir, if his son is gone, what will he do? To whom does the country pass? Passed on to his own brother? The point is that I don't have a brother! If Concubine Zheng's son is alive, then there will be nothing to do with this throne. In Zhu Youzhang's eyes, the survival of the country is much more important than fighting Tartars.

With so many people, so many soldiers, and so many generals in the imperial court, who can't fight? You have to be a prince to rush into battle.

Zhu Houzhao can't do anything about it, it is estimated that if his mother can give birth to a son this time, maybe she can be more comfortable, at least she is gone, and she has a younger brother. Or if you have a son, you can be more relaxed? Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think of a more terrifying thing, Dad wouldn't be thinking about choosing a queen for himself, right?

I am eleven years old this year, but I am more than 1.7 meters tall, just looking at my body shape has developed, according to Daming's virtue, finding a woman is estimated to have been put on the agenda, right?

My family knows my own affairs, although I am now 1.7 meters, but I have not yet reached puberty, I have not begun to develop at all, and some things are completely helpless!

"I hope I'm wrong!" Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart, and after receiving the holy decree, Zhu Houzhao glanced at He Neng, and then asked: "This palace will go back in the next few days, there are a few seriously injured people who can't hurry for the time being, and they need to recuperate here. ”

Many of these seriously wounded were missing arms and legs, and some were stabbed in the abdomen and chest, unable to exert their strength and unable to fight. But Zhu Houzhao is not ready to send these people back to their hometowns, these are all talents, what is the most difficult? Talent! How can a person who has spent so much effort training himself fight back like this.

Whether they are logistics generals or instructors, these people are very suitable, they have been in battle, killed people, and can tell about the spirit of veterans, which is very good!

He is about to set up the Imperial Martial Academy, and these people are the most suitable instructors, and Zhu Houzhao naturally values them very much.

"The slave maid still has to go to Lord Qin's side to pass the decree, and then the slave and maid can return to Beijing with His Royal Highness." He Neng said with a smile, the expression on his face did not show the slightest abnormality, it seemed normal, it looked like he was very excited to return to Beijing with Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" ”

However, Zhu Hou understood it, his father didn't believe in himself, and obviously asked He Neng to give Qin Hong's holy decree, and he must have written it to let him go back. He Neng also knew the purpose of coming in person, this was to let him stare at himself and return to Beijing, and not give himself a chance to resist at all. Zhu Houzhao is quite moved, dad is really afraid that something will happen to him!

Besides, the things in the northwest are almost taken care of, and it is indeed time to go back, and it is enough to leave the rest to Qin Hong.

Three days later, Zhu Houzhao took people back to Beijing, and naturally he was able to ride a horse, but also his riding skills were not bad, which Zhu Houzhao did not expect.

The news that Zhu Houzhao is going back to Beijing has naturally come back a long time ago, and everyone has different attitudes towards the prince's return, some disagree, some feel relieved, of course, there are also happy people who want to jump up, this person is naturally Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning. During this time, Zhu Houzhao was not in the capital, and Zhang Heling really had no bottom in his heart.

Some time ago, the list of salt merchants drawn up by the cabinet has been sent to the palace, and things are really as expected by his prince's nephew, and his own people are really targeted.

Although he did it secretly enough in the follow-up, there were still people who were found out, and not only that, but several people on Xungui's side were also taken down. If it weren't for the prince's nephew who had already explained, it is estimated that he would have panicked a long time ago. Now that the list is about to be determined, Zhang Heling still has no bottom in his heart, because he has not seen the list handed over by the cabinet.

After his prince's nephew came back, someone could finally make his own decisions, how could Zhang Heling not be happy.

Another bad thing is that on the side of the General Administration, although the secret matter has been decided, it is also ready to be implemented, and Shen Lu, the general political envoy, also took out the charter, he doesn't understand these Zhang Heling at all, he doesn't dare to make decisions for Zhu Houzhao, he can only wait for him to come back, and now Zhu Houzhao will finally come, just in time, how can Zhang Heling be unhappy.

On the day Zhu Houzhao entered Beijing, many people waited at the city gate and on both sides of the street to see, one came to see the cavalry who won the battle, and many people said that this was the strong army of the Ming Dynasty.

Second, of course, I want to see His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that His Royal Highness is not only both civil and military, but also a rare beautiful man, how can I not see this? So a lot of people came to join in the fun.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't show his face, he is the prince, he has nothing to do with his face, the highlight moment is unacceptable, besides, he is going to prepare a private interview in the future, if he is even seen and written down, or simply draw it, how can he have a private interview. Maybe it's the same as celebrity travel, and I'm afraid of being recognized wherever I go, either or not.

It was Wang Shouren who led the army into the city, and Zhu Houzhao had already entered the city with people the day before, and returned directly to the palace.

The first thing I did when I returned to the palace was to visit my father, and then accompany my mother to dinner, which was something that could not be delayed, and it was also the most important thing.

After eating in Kunning Palace, the father and son came to the Qianqing Palace together, and after serving tea, the father and son sat down and prepared to chat. Seeing his son return safely, and the days have passed for so long, Zhu Youzhu is not so angry, but he has made up his mind in his heart that he will not let his son do this next time.

"Let's talk about the Battle of the Northwest!" Zhu Youzhu glanced at his son and asked, although the good news has been written in detail, but Zhu Youzhu knows that it is okay to look at this kind of thing, this needs to understand the detailed situation, there is nothing to see at all, in comparison, it is more appropriate to ask his son who has personal experience.

Zhu Houzhao didn't hide it, and told him all about how he went to the northwest along the way, how he strangled the scouts, and how he fought with the Tartars.

"In recent years, the grassland has not been peaceful, the fighting of various departments is very fierce, the little prince has shown a trend of dominating the grassland, and the border pass of the Ming Dynasty must be prepared early, and it will become more difficult in the future." Zhu Houzhao concluded: "The northwest erosion is very bad, although I didn't go to see it, but the nine sides should be similar, and it's not much better." ”

This is directly related to the abolition of the imperial court to pay grain and open the middle, it has only been ten years, the frontier merchants do not go, the merchants are deserted, the people have fled, and the Ming Dynasty has used so long to build the nine-border defense line, and in just ten years, it has become fragile like paper paste. This kind of weakness can not be simply stopped, and in the Jiajing period, it was even directly beaten to the capital.

Zhu Youzhu looked at his son and asked with a little hesitation, "What do you think will come to it?" ”

When he said this, Zhu Youzhang's face was not very good-looking, his son had told him before that changing the grain to the silver would lead to the weakening of the nine sides, Zhu Youzhu also felt that his son was a little exaggerated, but the reality was so cruel. In just ten years, the Northwest has weakened to this point. In the Chenghua Dynasty, Wang Zhi of the West Factory was in chaos.

However, whether it was in Hetao, Xuanda, or Liaodong, the imperial court repeatedly used troops, and basically won a big victory.

The three sides of the northwest can hit Helan Mountain, look at the now, in a short period of time, the Tartars invaded the three sides, defeated, and were blocked by others to fight Guyuan City, how could Zhu Youzhu feel good in his heart.

Glancing at his father, Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear it, so he sighed lightly and said: "Father, the son thinks that it will not be broken, and it is not too late to make amends." Although it is not appropriate to change it to Nayin Kaizhong, but this time it is definitely better to change it to the salt merchant access system. ”

"The imperial court can receive more silver, and the imperial court can train its troops with silver, and I believe that it will not be long before my father can revive the nine-sided majesty."

"When the time comes, don't talk about restoring the old concept of Chenghua, even if Emperor Taizong learns to conquer the grassland, it will be invincible and invincible! As the lord of Zhongxing, his father is destined to leave a name in history, comparable to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. ”
