Zhu Hai's eyes lit up when he heard Qian Yiai say this, yes! I am the prince, and now I am still in charge of the country, you Ma Mingyuan should come to me for something, how can there be a reason for superiors to find subordinates! In the past, Zhu Hai took Ma Mingyuan seriously, you must know that Zhu Hai has to rely on Ma Mingyuan to sit firmly in the position of the prince, and Ma Mingyuan also needs Zhu Hai to gain a firm foothold in the court, if the prince is deposed, the first unlucky person is Ma Mingyuan.

Zhu Hai nodded again and again after thinking about this truth, but Xia Wanchun was anxious when he saw Zhu Hai like this. Xia Wanchun, like his father Xia Yunyi, was a staunch defender of the law of his ancestors. Because in the eyes of people like them, this world needs laws, there is filial piety in life, there is a way to be an official, and there is a way to be an official, and we must adhere to the moral bottom line of Confucianism. In order to uphold the laws they believe, they would rather throw their heads and shed their blood to die, and it is absolutely impossible for them to bow their heads to the side they think is wrong. In history, Wen Tianxiang and Shi Kefa are all this kind of people, and if there is no Zhu Hongsan, the Xia father and son will also be this kind of person.

This kind of person is of course a celebrity and a famous minister when the country is in danger, but this kind of person often embodies an inflexible and pedantic character in peacetime. So as soon as Xia Wanchun heard that Zhu Hai didn't ask Ma Mingyuan to explain, he didn't do it at that time, what did your prince want to do? Do you want to destroy the laws of the country? Do you want to establish the eldest son Zhu Shengduo, the crown prince?

"Prince, why do you say that? Don't you want to make your son-in-law Zhu Shengyu the prince? ”

Zhu Hai was a little annoyed when he heard Xia Wanchun say this, where is this! I didn't go to explain to Ma Mingyuan how to contact my son-in-law? It's too jumpy, isn't it?

"Mr. Xia, you listen to this palace's explanation, it's not what Mr. Xia thinks...

Before Zhu Hai finished speaking, Xia Wanchun stood up, interrupted the prince's words and said: "Your Highness, the prince should not bring his concubine with him when he goes out of the city this time, the country has a law, and the vassal king is not allowed to go out of the city for ten miles without His Majesty's holy decree!" Zhu Shengduo, as a concubine, should grow up in the city, and then go to other places to become a vassal! Now that Zhu Shengduo has been taken away by the emperor for the Northern Expedition, this does not make people with other ideas, does the crown prince emperor want Zhu Shengduo to be the son? ”

Xia Wanchun was very rude to interrupt the prince's words, this has to be replaced by Zhu Hongsan, if you dare to interrupt Lao Tzu to speak, Lao Tzu will kill you! But the crown prince Zhu Hai was docile and didn't take it to heart.

But Xia Wanchun's rude behavior was taken seriously by Qian Yiai, who stood up and scolded: "Xia Wanchun, have you read all the books in the dog's stomach?" You keep defending the ethics of Gangchang, what is it that you interrupted the prince just now? ”

Xia Wanchun also regretted a little when he heard Qian Yiai say this, and quickly stood up and bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the minister Meng Lang just now!" Please punish Your Highness! ”

The crown prince Zhu Hai laughed twice and said: "Please get up, this is not the court, you and I are friends, don't talk about those raw words!" Xia Wanchun heard that the prince was so magnanimous, and he was very grateful in his heart, and vowed to maintain the prince's status and go to the soup to fight the fire!

The prince planned to let Xia Wanchun go, but Qian Yiai's love was not finished, Qian Yiai stood in front of Xia Wanchun and scolded: "Xia Wanchun, you guy is selling fame and reputation, did you scold Hong Chengchou to improve your reputation back then?" You know that His Majesty the Emperor has already hit Zhejiang, and you don't have to die, so you scolded Hong Chengchou! Do you think I can't see your face clearly? ”

Although Xia Wanchun was not as unbearable as Qian Zhi's love, insulting Hong Chengchou back then did bring him great fame, and he himself was proud of it. Now that he is scolded like this by Qian Yiai, he has become a villain who has become famous and famous, and his uncle can't bear it anymore this Xia Wanchun, and his aunt can't bear it.

Xia Wanchun stood up and opened his hands and was about to fight hard with Qian Yiai, Zhu Hai saw that this was okay, obviously he asked the two of them to come to discuss how to explain to Ma Mingyuan, why these two people started to do it first.

Zhu Hai hurriedly called in five or six people from the little eunuch outside the door, and formed a human wall in front of Qian Xia and the others, which separated the two. The two of them are going to fight, so naturally today's meeting can't go on, so Qian Xia and the others have no choice but to give up.

Out of the gate of the East Palace, Xia Wanchun saw Qian Yiai walking side by side with him, and couldn't help but sneer: "Qian Yiai, this official is ashamed of you to go to one place!" Get out of the way! ”

Qian Yiai's eyelids rolled and said, "What? Is this road owned by you Xia Wanchun? This official loves how to go, how to go! After Qian Yiai finished speaking, he leaned closer to Xia Wanchun's side.

Xia Wanchun was so angry when he saw Qian Yiai's appearance, but this was already out of the East Palace, and there were brocade guards standing guard on both sides of the road, so it would be a shame to do it here.

Xia Wanchun snorted: "Hmph! Good! This official will not go the same way with you! After Xia Wanchun finished speaking, he got on the sedan chair and walked in the opposite direction, heading towards Beicheng.

The city of Nanjing was built according to the topography, and the imperial city was located in the east of the city. And Xia Wanchun's home is in Nancheng, and it was originally the closest to Chang'an Avenue along Gennan Street in Donghuangcheng, but Xia Wanchun had to take the Beicheng bypass, so the distance to go home increased more than three times.

Qian Yiai looked at Xia Wanchun who was walking away in a sedan chair, and sneered in his heart: Today's fight between himself and Xia Wanchun is not a battle of will, but I don't want Xia Wanchun to persuade the prince to apologize to Ma Mingyuan.

Qian Yiai is twenty years old this year, and if he dies early without any serious illness, he can still mix in officialdom for 50 years. Of course, this is the ideal state, if you encounter something that is dismissed by the emperor, or framed by someone, then it is another matter.

Officialdom is like a battlefield, and if you don't plan in advance, you must be the one who is unlucky. Qian Yiai watched coldly in the two changes of head and assistant in the DPRK and China, and saw it very clearly. So Qian Yiai decided that if you want to mix in the officialdom and retire naturally, you have to find a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Of course, the thickest tree now is the emperor, but this tree is too thick, and his little arms and legs are not enough. The prince is also a good choice, but the prince has already divided into gangs here, and the fight between several teachers is more powerful than Qian Yiai and Xia Wanchun. Therefore, the young Qian Yiai can only be a strategist, and it is okay to make a bad water for the prince, but he is not qualified to participate in big things, so the prince's two sons have become the targets of Qian Yiai.

But at that time, Qian Yiai was still undecided, and he didn't make up his mind to support the prince's son. If according to the legal system, these two sons have the right to inherit, one is the eldest son and the other is the son-in-law, but Ma Mingyuan is standing behind the son-in-law, it will be different. But if you support your sister-in-law Zhu Shengyu, then Qian Yiai's love is still the role of soy sauce, Ma Mingyuan's young people are so handsome, how can he show Qian's bereavement!

But today, after Qian Yiai knew that the emperor liked Zhu Shengduo, he immediately decided to support his eldest son Zhu Shengduo, for a very simple reason, that is, the person who decided the prince's son was not the prince, not Ma Mingyuan, but the emperor himself. At the same time, Qian Yiai also found that Zhu Shengduo had no relatives around him, which is too important, which means that if Zhu Shengduo can become the emperor, he must rely on himself in everything, and he can become a powerful minister like Ma Mingyuan. Thinking of this money, I was moved, so I temporarily decided to support Zhu Shengduo.

Zhu Shengduo is six years old this year, and he will enter school at the age of seven next year, so it seems that he should accept a good student!

Just when Qian Yiai was thinking about Zhu Shengduo, Zhu Shengduo was sitting on a big warship with his imperial grandfather Zhu Hongsan preparing to cross the Yangtze River.

The first time Zhu Shengduo got on the boat, everything was fresh, the kind of boat ornaments made of brass, polished and polished, and coiled into a one-person-high rope, all made the child Zhu Shengduo very happy.

Zhu Shengduo saw that there were several large wooden barrels in no one's place, which were filled with fine yellow sand, and he didn't know what to do with them.

"Grandpa Huang, what are those sand for?"

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said to Zhang Liang, the admiral of the navy beside him: "Zhang Liang, you explain it to my grandson!" ”

Zhang Liang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor's eldest grandson, these yellow sand are used to prevent slipping, the deck is easy to be stained with blood or other oil during naval battles, and it is easy to slip when the waves surge, if it is sprinkled with yellow sand, it can prevent soldiers from slipping!" ”

"I see!" Zhu Shengduo's curiosity was aroused, and he pulled Zhang Liang to ask questions, but Zhang Liang didn't dare not answer, so he could only answer them respectfully.

At this time, the boat has started, and the wind on the river is still very strong, although it is now in March, the spring flowers are blooming, but the river wind is still a little cool.

Zhu Shengduo suddenly sneezed, which made Zhu Hongsan anxious. He knew that there were no antibiotics now, and if he got sick and cold, it was all up to God, Zhu Shengduo looked like he was six years old, but he was actually only five years old, and it would not be good if he had a cold.

"Come on, bring Zhu Shengduo into the cabin, change him into thick clothes, and pay attention to keeping warm!" Naturally, there were little eunuchs on the side who came to serve Zhu Shengduo.

Zhang Liang, who was relieved of the siege, breathed a sigh of relief, returned to Zhu Hongsan's side and praised him: "Your Majesty, the emperor and grandson are very smart, and some objects can be explained once and understand the purpose!" ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled when he heard Zhang Liang's sycophancy, and asked, "Zhang Liang, how is your navy prepared?" ”

Hearing the emperor ask about the preparations, Zhang Liang cheered up and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister is ready!" After unloading the equipment in Yangzhou, he took all the ships of the navy to the north, and the minister estimated that he would be able to reach North Korea in June! ”

Zhu Hongsan had the most powerful navy in East Asia in his hands, and had trained a capable marine corps in the expedition of the Japanese State.

Zhu Hongsan's abacus was to use two divisions of troops to land at the mouth of the Yalu River, occupy Jiulian City, which was later known as Dandong, and then seize Shengjing, the hometown of the Manchu Dynasty, while the navy entered the Bohai Bay, occupied Shanhaiguan, and strangled the Manchu Qing to return home.
