The crown prince is the most difficult profession in history, the ability is too strong for the emperor to be afraid of, the ability is too poor for the emperor to be dissatisfied, and there is a large group of brothers behind the buttocks, waiting for you to make a mistake and pull you off the horse.

Zhu Biao, on the contrary, has almost no troubles in this regard, and can be said to be the happiest prince in history. Lao Zhu almost taught him to be the emperor by hand. When Zhu Biao was in his twenties, he came to the ministers every day and listened to the announcements of the ministers in order to practice national politics.

Lao Zhu even shook his hand and became the "Emperor Taishang", except for the dirty work of killing heroes, everything was punished by the prince. Zhu Biao has been in charge of the country for more than ten years, and he has a lot of rules in governing the country, although he can't become a hero like Lao Zhu, but it is not a problem to be a Ming monarch.

However, now he is only thirteen years old, and he has been instilled with too much etiquette and music by Song Lian since he was a child, and Lao Zhu and Ma Dajia have also put too many shackles on him, so that Zhu Biao's mind is much simpler than his peers.

But Lao Zhu had his own plans, he let Zhu Biao drink enough in the ink tank, and with enough cultivation and knowledge, he would teach him the way of the emperor to see those pickled things. Facts have also proved that Lao Zhu's method is correct, but it's a pity that Zhu Biao lived too short.

Ma Du was self-righteous, he didn't pour ink on Zhu Biao but poured him with rancid water in advance, and taught him some tricks that didn't go into the stream, if Lao Zhu knew, he would definitely kick him away.

"Isn't this not good, provoking infighting among courtiers is a loss of the way of being a king, and it is also a loss of gentlemanly style!" Zhu Biao is also not lightly poisoned, and it is not something that Ma Du can fool with a sentence or two.

Ma Du shook his hand, "A gentleman can't be a good emperor, you look at how many famous emperors in history are gentlemen, Liu San who is a scoundrel, Li Er who killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and Zhao Da ...... who bullied orphans and widows."

"Hehe......" Hearing Ma Du call the famous emperor in history like this, Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing, and when Ma Du finished counting with his fingers, Zhu Biao said: "There are also good monarchs who can be called gentlemen!" For example...... Well...... Emperor Wen of Han, another example is ...... hmm"

Zhu Biao didn't say two for a long time, it seems that the emperor is really not a good person can do the job, the more capable the emperor is, the more he has nothing to do with the gentleman. Zhu Biao simply sighed, "What my uncle said still makes some sense!" But I think it's better not to do that. ”

"When the time comes, don't complain to me!"

"Let's not talk about that for now!" Zhu Biao's face suddenly turned red, "My nephew has an unspeakable secret, and I want to ask my uncle to solve my doubts." ”

"Say!" Judging by his expression, Mado probably knew what he wanted to say.

"I dreamed of a woman ...... when I was napping a few days ago," Zhu Biao bit Ma Du's ear and muttered quietly, "When I woke up, I found that my pants were wet and there were some white things...... The nephew was worried about what kind of illness he had, and it was not easy to tell others, so he asked his uncle. ”

Ma Du patted his chest and said with a lewd face: "You can rest assured, it's not a disease, it means that you are already a real man, and you can perform the Dunlun ceremony in the future, but you are still young, just once in ten days and a half months." ”

Zhu Biao blushed and said: "Uncle, don't make fun of me, my nephew hasn't married yet, how can I be humane." ”

"Didn't Niangniang get a palace maid?"

"Nope! All the people who serve me are eunuchs. ”

"There's not even a palace maid around, so which woman are you dreaming of? Miss Changjia? ”

"No, I haven't seen Miss Chang yet, as for the woman in the dream, I don't know who it is, anyway, I can't see her face clearly."

Poor baby! Ma Du patted Zhu Biao's shoulder sympathetically.

After waiting at the ferry in the middle of the afternoon, Xu Da's fleet sailed over from the opposite bank, and the two got off the carriage, and Zhu Biao led the hundred officials to greet them at the end of the trestle. In the midst of the sound of drums, Zhu Biao congratulated Xu Da on his return from victory, and Ma Du couldn't make up, so he had to stand on tiptoe to find Mu Ying's boat.

A big hand patted him on the shoulder, Ma Du turned his head to see that it was Mu Ying, who was grinning at Ma Du with a big mouth, "I knew you would come to pick me up!" ”

"Disembarked so soon, don't you have to lead a team?"

Mu Ying's face stiffened when she heard this, and she sighed and was overjoyed, "My official position has been withdrawn by the marshal, so I don't need to lead the team, of course I will go ashore quickly!" ”

Ma Du quipped: "Why did you break military discipline?" Is it a robbery of a woman from a good family? ”

"No, it's more serious than robbing a woman from a good family!" Mu Ying sighed and said: "It's all because I didn't listen to your advice, I chased the enemy without authorization with the three thousand Shenji battalion outside Lanzhou City, and was killed by Wang Baobao, just in time for a huge gust of wind and sand, and even the fire rope was blown out......"

Ma Du frowned, "How many casualties?" ”

"More than eight hundred, if it weren't for Brother Bao'er's timely rescue, maybe the whole army would have been wiped out!"

With more than 800 casualties, the absolute Shenji Battalion has suffered the biggest fiasco since it became an army, Ma Du wanted to scold him, but it could be seen that his face was full of sadness, so he changed his words and persuaded: "The Shenji Battalion still has many problems, and the cooperation of other arms is indispensable, and the wind and sand in the northwest are strong, which is really not conducive to the operation of the Shenji Battalion......

"Xuanzhong, you don't have to excuse me, blame me for being greedy and reckless, and when I get to the palace, I will ask the emperor for guilt!"

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, I have already said that you will fight with the north, and the next time you fight, you will go to the south to fight!" Ma Du stretched out his hand and pushed him twice, "Don't cry like a girl, if you eat a small defeat like you, Xu Dashuai would have wiped his neck a long time ago, how can he have today's achievements." See no, even the prince has to make a toast and how majestic! ”

There have been many north-south splits in history, and there have been many northern expeditions, but Xu Da was the first to succeed, which is an unprecedented immortal achievement, and he really deserves such an honor.

The ceremony was very big and cumbersome, and by the time Ma Du leaned over to congratulate Xu Dadao, it was already evening. Xu Da brought more than 200,000 when he went out, and only 100,000 when he came back, except for the rest who died in battle, they stayed at the border pass.

I don't know how long it will take for more than 100,000 people to cross the river and land, but most of the main generals have already crossed the shore, and they have to enter the palace with Xu Da to resume their lives, and when everyone arrives at the palace from the river, it is already dark.

After waiting outside the palace for about a stick of incense, everyone came out, and Ma Du immediately greeted: "Brother Tang, I'll charter a restaurant to celebrate together." ”

Tang He waved his hand again and again, "Don't go!" I've been away from home for almost two years, and the little concubine at home misses it tightly, if you have a green house in Qinhuaihe, I will go! ”

Seeing that Li Wenzhong couldn't wait to get on the horse, Ma Du hurriedly shouted: "Siben, aren't you going too?" ”

"Don't go! The last time I went home was three years ago, and I have to go home to see my son! Drive! ”

"Lao Xue, Lao Fu, Commander Guo, General Deng Bing...... Are you all going? ”

The generals waved their hands one after another, and rode away one by one, Mu Ying finally came out and said to Ma Du: "Ignore them, they are all waiting for the emperor's celebration banquet tomorrow, go, go to my house!" ”

"Where's Brother Xu?"

"The emperor left him to finish eating!"
