Chapter 40: The Department of Honor and Guard

Zhu Yunwen rubbed his temples, secretly hating Lao Zhu for favoring these vassal kings too much, and the restrictive measures formulated were all painless, not only did not make the vassal kings rein in their deeds, but made them even more arrogant with Lao Zhu's favor.

Originally, he was not worried about Zhu Ao who was assigned to a wild place, but as Zhu Ao did one thing after another that shocked the world, he gradually listed Zhu Ao as his key precautionary target.

Zhu Yunwen raised his head suddenly, and suddenly remembered what Lao Zhu had said to him before, and immediately unfolded the letter and wrote a secret letter to Geng Bingwen.

The 27th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is Zhu Ao's birthday. The large-scale sowing has ended, and the remaining work such as thinning seedlings and replanting is relatively easy.

Although Zhu Ao really wanted to have a simple birthday, after all, Su Fan was currently in ruins. However, the civil and military officials of the Su clan were unwilling to give up this meeting to show themselves to the leadership, and insisted on holding a big event.

After sending them away, Zhu Ao returned to his dormitory. Dai Nu and Lan Youcheng were already waiting there, and as soon as they saw Zhu Ao, they immediately knelt down in unison, kowtowed, and said: "Concubine, slave and maid congratulate the prince on his birthday, may the prince have today every year, and every year has today." ”

During this time, everything went well, Zhu Ao was in a very good mood, helped the second daughter up, and said with a smile: "Get up." You've been waiting for this king for a long time. ”

Dai Nu said: "Today is the big day of the prince, it is worth waiting for as long as we want." With that, he helped Zhu Ao to the bed and untied Zhu Ao's wide clothes with Lan Youcheng.

The ancients, like today, wanted to wear simple and loose clothes when they got home, after all, it was uncomfortable for anyone to cover so many clothes.

Zhu Ao took Dai Nu's little hand and asked, "Have you eaten it?" ”

Dai Nu said coquettishly while undressing Zhu Ao: "How can there be, the concubine and her sister are waiting for a glass of water and wine to the prince." ”

Zhu Ao smiled and said, "You guys are really honest, can this king skip dinner when he is out for entertainment?" Eat some first. ”

Lan Youcheng's delicate body twisted, sat in Zhu Ao's arms, and said in a delicate voice: "Look at what the prince said, today is the birthday of the prince, this glass of wine for me and my sister, how can I respect the prince first, how can I eat it first?" ”

Zhu Ao smiled heartily, hugged her delicate body, and said, "Okay, good." This king will drink this wine with you, and give you a chance to behave. ”

Dai Nu immediately waved his hand to the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid immediately knelt halfway, and then turned around and brought three glasses of water and wine.

Dai Nu handed one of the cups to the prince with both hands, the other to Lan Youcheng, and then took another cup for himself. Lan Youcheng and Dai Nu held their wine glasses, knelt down in front of Zhu Ao again, raised their glasses, and said: "Concubine, the slave and maid congratulate the prince on his birthday again, and wish the prince good health and great achievements!" ”

With territory, an army, money, wine and women, this kind of day is really cool. Zhu Ao couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, let's make this wine." ”

The three of them drank the wine from their glasses. The reason why Dai Nu and Lan Youcheng are willing to follow Zhu Ao with all their hearts is not only because he is the prince, but also because this prince cares about them and treats them as his own. The two daughters can feel that they are already part of the royal family of the Su Domain, and their fate is the same as that of the Su King, so they are particularly united.

Dai Nu took down the wine glass in Zhu Ao's hand, put it away with his own wine glass, and said, "Lord, the concubine and her sister will serve the prince and go to bed." She hadn't served the prince with others, and she didn't know what the prince meant, so she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Zhu Ao, who has always liked to bully the two sisters, became Yanagishita Hui at this time, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry, this king has to wait for someone." ”

Dai Nu and Lan Youcheng looked at each other, waiting for someone? Could it be that the prince received another one? Why hasn't it been revealed at all? Do you need other beauties in this place? How did we not know?

At this moment, a little eunuch outside the door came to report and said, "Lord Qiqi, the guard is asking to see Lord Che Gangche." ”

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhu Ao's face, as if he had done a big thing, and said, "The person this king is waiting for is here." Ask him to wait in the front hall. ”

The eunuch bowed and said, "Yes, the slave obeys." Then he respectfully withdrew.

Dai Nu and Lan Youcheng were even more confused, what were they doing when they summoned Che Gang in the middle of the night? Zhu Ao looked at the cute appearance of the two of them, and felt funny, pinched each of them on the face, and said, "Today is a day of great joy, and this king is happy." Neither of you is allowed to go. I'll wait for the king to come back and clean up the two of you. ”

Although Dai Nu and Lan Youcheng have already been taken into Zhu Ao's pocket, it is the first time to serve the prince together like today, and they don't feel that their cheeks are crimson, but they don't dare to go against Zhu Ao's wishes, they lowered their heads, and said shyly: "Concubine, slave and maid are waiting for the prince." ”

Zhu Ao laughed, tilted his head, took his hands, and went out of the house to find the car post.

Che Gang was sitting in the front hall, and when he saw Zhu Ao coming, he immediately stood up and saluted: "My subordinates see the prince." ”

Zhu Ao raised his hand and said, "No courtesy, someone was caught?" ”

Che Gang said proudly: "I caught it, but I didn't run a single one." ”

Zhu Ao was very satisfied with this result, nodded, and said, "Okay, this time you have made a meritorious service, and this king will reward you." ”

Che Gang showed a sincere smile on his face and said, "This is all under the effective command of the prince." ”

This matter starts a few days ago. Zhu Ao admires Lao Zhu very much, so he is also willing to imitate Lao Zhu's way of governing the country.

Lao Zhu has a sharp weapon to control the ministers, that is, Jinyiwei, and the famous Lanyu case was reported by the commander of Jinyiwei.

Although Jin Yiwei has a bad reputation in later generations and is labeled as a spy at every turn, Zhu Ao is a pragmatist like Lao Zhu, as long as something is useful to him, he will use it no matter what others say.

The later generations of Zhu Ao are also a person who has been in the society for many years, the so-called monarch is upright and upright, and he is not suspicious of employing people, and he doesn't believe it at all.

Not to mention that he is a dignified vassal king, even an ordinary shopkeeper can't do it without suspicion, and suspicion is not needed. The normal practice is to use people who are suspicious and suspicious, and no matter who they use, there must be a set of supervision systems.

The Ming Dynasty's supervising army was widely criticized in later generations, and most of the commentators believed that the supervising army often interfered with the command of the generals, which was an important reason for the low combat effectiveness of the army.

As everyone knows, the prison army is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and with the prison army present, when the soldiers are fighting, they will feel as if the emperor is watching them from behind. In this way, those behaviors of stealing and cheating, not contributing to work, and even covering up failures will be eliminated. The soldiers will work harder when they kill the enemy, after all, Qin Cha is watching from behind, and he can't be fooled if he doesn't fight well.
