(Something went wrong today, the update was late, sorry!) ）

Standing on the bow of the boat, Zhu Haiqian and Sun Ai, after this conversation, the two opened their hearts to each other and became completely confidants. Although the river wind was cold, it couldn't blow away the ambition in the hearts of the two.

Zhu Hai clenched his fists and said: "Brother Zigao, now boating on the river, although the weather is cold, but the heart of the palace is hot, why don't we have a drink on the boat, look at the scenery of the river, and talk while drinking?" ”

Qian Sunai bowed down and said: "Your Highness is so interested, and your subordinates will naturally accompany you!" ”

Zhu Hai nodded, and called the little eunuch who was three zhang away.

"You go and tell Madame that Mr. Qian and I are drinking at the bow of the boat, and let her clean up a few small dishes and send them to the deck!"

Xiang Rong'er was killed by Zhu Hongsan in her childhood home, and she went into exile with her uncle Xiang Laosan at the age of five or six.

As the crown prince, Zhu Hai had more than 100 people on the entire ship to serve him, so it was natural that he would not be ready to stop for a long time after the order. After the wine and food were ready, Xiang Rong'er took the eunuch and the palace maid to spread the wine and food, Xiang Rong'er was also a female warrior, and Zhu Hai was also born and died outside Nanchang City, so she was naturally very bold.

"Mr. Qian, let you laugh, what side dishes will be made there by the concubine, these are all prepared by the ship's cook, and the concubine is just a start!"

Qian Sunai knew that this woman and the prince had a deep relationship, and when she saw Xiang Rong'er coming up, she didn't dare to raise her head, so she lowered her head and hugged her fists and said, "Madame, heroine, these drinks and dishes are also excellent!" ”

Xiang Rong'er nodded and said, "Okay, you men speak slowly, if you need to say hello, the concubine has gone down!" ”

Qian Sunai bowed down and sent Xiang Rong'er into the cabin before he dared to stand up straight, not that he was afraid of Xiang Rong'er, since he had taken refuge in Zhu Hai, he had to do enough courtesy, and he must not let Zhu Hai find fault in small things.

After Xiang Rong'er entered the cabin, Zhu Hai asked the eunuchs around him to quit Sanzhang, and he and Qian Sunai still had something to say, so that these outsiders could hear it.

"Zigao, come and try the duck in Wuchang, it tastes different from the osmanthus duck in Nanjing, and this is the hot pot that my father loves to eat, I didn't expect these cooks on the ship to prepare quite well!"

There are not many dishes on the table, there is only one copper hot pot, which is the mandarin duck hot pot invented by Zhu Hongsan. The side stove has appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, but the north and south have different ways of eating, and the Chongqing mandarin duck hot pot in later generations only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, so it became Zhu Hongsan's invention in this time and space.

Now that the river breeze is cold, it is really pleasant to eat a mouthful of hot spicy hot pot. Qian Sunai also liked this kind of spicy food when he was in Guangdong, and now he doesn't cheat, picking up the fresh hairy belly with chopsticks, digging it deep into the hot pot, and then dipping it in the sesame oil dish and putting it in his mouth.

After eating, Qian Sunai let out a sigh of relief and said: "Your Highness, this chef should be from Guangdong, this spicy sauce is very authentic, it is really delicious!" ”

Zhu Hai said with a smile: "The imperial chef from the palace, of course, is from Guangdong, just like it!" ”

The two of them just took a sip of hot pot and rice wine, and they ate happily on the Yangtze River.

After eating almost, Zhu Hai asked in a low voice: "Brother Zigao, you are a great talent, how do you say that this palace should deal with itself when it returns to Nanjing?" ”

Qian Sunai took a sip of wine and said: "This is simple, Your Highness only needs to remember eight words, that is, "courage to do things, brotherly love"!" ”

Zhu Hai whispered "Courage to do things, brotherly love", and said to Qian Sunai: "These eight words are simple, but they are easier said than done!" Have the courage to do anything, and if you want to work, you have to offend people; Brotherly love, but is there an easy one of those younger brothers in the palace? ”

"Your Highness, this is simple! Mr. Ma Er has been firmly tied to the prince's chariot, and if there is anything in the court, Mr. Ma Er will naturally block His Royal Highness. As for the other princes, His Royal Highness must remember that there are only three things, the first two times can back down, but the third time must fight back, and they can't be allowed to gain an inch! ”

"But doesn't this make my father think that this palace has no room for people?"

Qian Sunai shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness is wrong, His Majesty the Emperor is so wise and powerful, can he not know the small actions of other princes in private?" His Royal Highness's first two forbearances were all brothers, and the third counterattack was reasonable, and it could also leave a relaxed impression on His Majesty! ”

Zhu Hai listened to what Qian Sunai said made sense, and nodded again and again.

"Zigao, there is one more thing, do you know that there are no people under this palace who can be used, don't you know if Zigao has any good ideas?"

Zhu Hai's words were very tactful, but Qian Sunai understood them. This is that Zhu Hai already wants to get rid of Ma Mingyuan's control, after all, no

There is a person who likes to be controlled. In the past, Zhu Hai could never say this to Qian Sunai, but after a long conversation between the two just now, Zhu Hai had already regarded Qian Sunai as his absolute own person, so he asked the biggest question in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness, you will definitely get married after you return to Nanjing, and the prince will open a mansion when he gets married, so he naturally needs some of his own people. The minister recommends two people for you, one is Xia Wanchun, the son of Xia Yunyi, and the other is Huang Zongxi, a bachelor of Hanlin. Xia Wanchun is 16 years old this year, this person is committed to loyalty, advocating fame, and talent. And this person is still a student of Chen Zilong, and he can also befriend Chen Zilong by wooing this person, and he can contribute to His Royal Highness. Xia Wanchun was arrested in eastern Zhejiang in June, and was supposed to be taken to Nanjing to be beheaded, but he didn't expect Nanjing to be captured by the emperor, and Xia Wanchun was released. The second person, His Royal Highness Huang Zongxi, should know that Huang Zongxi is the son of Huang Zunsu, a member of the Donglin Party, although this person was born in the Donglin Party, but has a close relationship with the Eastern Zhejiang School. The husband and the worker solidify the desire of the holy king, and the merchant makes him willing to come out of the way, and the cover is also the same." Isn't this what His Highness wants? So these two have to be co-opted! ”

Zhu Hai nodded, these two people have no problem, they can give them a position in the prince's mansion, but this is just a scholar, what about the most important army?

"Zigao, these palaces know, but there are no own people in the new army in Guangdong, and now that Zhu Jiang is in the army, he will definitely be able to marry a good general in the army, and he will be afraid when the time comes... Zhu Haixin said that even if his father passed on the throne to himself, but Zhu Jiang had the support of the army, and it would be troublesome if he didn't come out with a Jingjing.

"This minister has also thought about it, how many uncles does His Highness have?"

Zhu Haiyi has a total of four, Ma Jiyuan, Ma Mingyuan, Ma Jingyuan, plus a cousin Feng Ziyong. But Ma Mingyuan is the deputy assistant of the cabinet, Ma Jiyuan and Feng Ziyong are both feudal officials, these can't be used for themselves, and there is an uncle Ma Jingyuan who is not promising, but he is useless!

"Could Zigao say that Ma Jingyuan, the third uncle of the palace? But he's of no use! ”

Qian Sunai took a bite of cold-cut duck, took a sip of rice wine and said, "Your Highness is wrong!" When the minister went to Guangdong, I heard that His Royal Highness's third uncle was not on good terms with the emperor when he was young, and he was beaten by the emperor, so he was disgusted by His Majesty, and now it is only a county order of a small county in Dongguan! ”

Zhu Hai nodded, sighed and said: "That's exactly the case, when the queen mother was alive, I looked for my father many times and wanted to change places for my third uncle, but my father never agreed. And my third uncle is not from a high background and is a concubine, so he has always been looked down upon by the other two uncles, and no one speaks for him. Originally, the third uncle and the queen mother had the best relationship, and the queen mother often said two good words for him, until the queen mother was killed a year ago, and no one spoke for him in the court, and now the third uncle is still a seven-pin county! ”

"Hey, hey! Things in the army are falling on His Royal Highness, the third uncle! The minister has inquired about some Huguang nobles, this Ma Jingyuan is not simple, he was born in the teaching group run by His Majesty back then, and he was still the first batch, His Royal Highness looked at the first batch of people now? They are all the chief and deputy generals of each main division. And Ma Jingyuan has also served as a military Chinese book for a long time, and has a good relationship with some members of the second batch of teaching groups, isn't this an excellent candidate for His Highness? ”

Zhu Hai still doesn't know that his third uncle, who is five big and three thick, is so tall, so why is he mixed up like this now? Could it be that his father was small-hearted and suppressed him?

"Zigao, why is the third uncle from such a prominent background like this? Could it be that his father really hates him? ”

"Haha, His Royal Highness thinks so, but he has wronged His Majesty the Emperor, who is His Majesty the Emperor, who can suppress talents for some child's play in childhood. Does Your Highness know how the emperor started his life? ”

Of course this Zhu Hai knows, isn't he just attached to the Ma family, to put it bluntly, he is eating soft rice with a little white face. But when the son can say that about his father.

"Of course this palace knows that my grandfather's family made a big effort to start my father!"

"Your Highness, when the new army was created, in addition to the homeless people recruited outside Wuchang City, a small part of the soldiers in the army were domestic slaves of the Ma family, but Your Highness looks at it now, there is still a general in the army who is a domestic slave of the Ma family?"

Zhu Hai heard his grandson Ai say this, it is really like this, now none of the regimental cadres in the army are from the Ma family, although Ma Liang's surname is Ma, he was born in Henan. Except for his cheap cousin Ma Rufeng, the others are all from homeless people, and Wang Jinbao from Luzon is even more from a homeless family.

"The minister privately checked that there were a total of thirty-eight Ma family slaves in the two teaching regiments that year, and these people either disappeared mysteriously or died mysteriously on the battlefield, and there were a few embezzlement of military salaries who died in the edict of Jinyiwei. Now Your Highness understands! Ma Jingyuan is not that His Majesty dislikes him, but that the queen is protecting him, according to His Majesty's temper, this kind of person has long been killed, it should be that His Majesty is still missing the queen, so he left Ma Jingyuan a way to live. ”

Zhu Hai nodded when he heard Qian Sunai say this, according to his father's temper, this kind of person doesn't care what kind of relative he is, let's kill him first, the third uncle can live until now It should be the work of the queen mother.
