"Zhu San?"

Before Zhu Changyuan could speak, Ah Jiu had already blocked in front of him, they all knew everyone who came, he was a subordinate of the Bohai King's Mansion, and now he was probably the housekeeper of the Palace.

Zhu San, who used to follow Zhu Changyuan's uncle. Now that the master has risen to become the prince, his status will naturally be improved.

"Woo ......" Zhu San dismounted, with a smile on his face, looked at Zhu Changyuan, and saluted politely: "Hello Sixth Son." He looked at a few of his subordinates who were plowing the land, and a hint of mockery flashed on their faces, but he quickly hid it.

Fortunately, Zhu San didn't notice the iron plough that cultivated the land.

"Hello." Zhu Changyuan didn't dare to slack off, although he was the son of the palace, and the other party was just a subordinate, but speaking of which, people were more than a hundred times better than him. If you don't say anything else, let's just say that the 200 acres of land in front of you are estimated to be unacceptable to Zhu San.

"Sixth son, today happens to be the prince's fortieth birthday. It's all out of the palace, and the prince misses you very much, and wants me to come and pick you up. ”

Zhu San pointed to the two horses he was riding: "I know that you don't have a footpath, and they are all ready for you." Let's go, General Jin will also arrive today. It's a lively scene! ”

Zhu Changyuan nodded, gave a few instructions to the people of the Wang family, and especially told him to use the wheat seeds he brought over when planting, so he rode away and followed Zhu San.

Bohai Wangfu, originally not in Liaodong, but in the distant Xiangtan area, due to some reason, later the Bohai King family was moved here to the border, has taken root here for three generations, and is also half of the Liao. As for Zhu Changyuan's uncle Zhu Yifan's generation, he has established a broad foundation in Liaodi, with countless fields and more than 500 soldiers.

Zhu Yifan's Bohai Mansion was not in Ningyuan City, but in Gaotai Fort in the rear of Ningyuan, which belonged to the rear of the Ningjin defense line.

The geographical location of Gaotaibao is a small town, and at very moments, a palace is located in the town, and the Bohai Royal Mansion is the number one in the Ming Dynasty. However, this is the emperor's edict, reflecting the determination of the royal family and soldiers to defend the country together, even if the king of Bohai is unwilling, there is no way.

Gaotai Fort is not too far from the mountain where Zhu Changyuan is located, and it is only two hours away from riding a horse, which is why Zhu San was able to arrive early in the morning to invite him.

The Bohai Palace, in the middle of the entire Gaotai Fort, is surrounded by the fortifications built by the Ming army, which looks extremely solid. However, Zhu Changyuan didn't think so, through the understanding of the past few days and the memory of the original owner who didn't know where to go, he learned that it was now the eleventh year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the spring of 1637 AD.

At this time, there were only seven full years left before the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Seven years later, Li Zicheng would break through the city of Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen would be hanged.

However, Zhu Changyuan is not too worried, because no matter what, for an ordinary person, seven years is still a long time, during this period of time, he can do a lot of things, with this miraculous golden finger, even if he develops his own power in this troubled world, it is not impossible.

Entering the high gate of the palace, although it was still the cold season of spring, I also clearly felt a warm breath.

The non-stop playing of musical instruments and the full banquet table in the courtyard, although the banquet has not yet opened, you can already smell the aroma of wine and meat.

"The sixth prince Zhu Changyuan has arrived, I wish the prince a thousand years of prosperity and prosperity......" As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he heard a little guy singing a promise shouting by the door, which almost frightened Zhu Changyuan.

There was a red table in front of him, and this piece of red paper was placed on the table, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all there. An old scholar sat behind the desk, raised his eyes to look at Zhu Changyuan, and asked, "Can the sixth prince give a gift?" ”

Zhu Changyuan had already prepared it, took out a piece of jade pendant that looked quite high-end, threw it to the old man and said, "That's it, my father gave it when he was there, and gave it to the prince as a birthday gift, wishing the prince a thousand years old." ”

The old scholar took the jade pendant and looked at it twice, and said loudly: "The sixth prince of the Bohai Palace, give a piece of Hetian jade pendant, and wish the prince a thousand years old." ”

The old scholar shouted like this, but it attracted a few hearty laughter, and I saw a man who was one or two years younger than Zhu Changyuan coming out of the inner door and said, "It turned out that the sixth brother has arrived, why is he so shabby, and he brought a jade pendant." ”

The man walked up as he spoke, stretched out his hand and grabbed the jade pendant in the old scholar's hand, and said, "Don't enter it into the account first, I have prepared the gift of the sixth brother and paid for him, this thing was given to him by his uncle and left to him." He groped out a green jade wrench from his chest and handed it over, "This is the wrench that the king of Myanmar paid tribute to in the previous dynasty, and the emperor rewarded his grandfather, and today he gave it to the second uncle, which can be regarded as returning to the palace." ”

"Seventh brother, what are you doing here?" Zhu Changyuan was a little displeased, but his heart was slightly moved.

This seventh brother is called Zhu Changning, the second son of the third uncle's family, he has been good with Zhu Changyuan since he was a child, and when he was treated unfairly, he also helped out, but the various relationships in the palace are complicated, like a small court, no matter how much Zhu Changning helps, he is a child after all, and he can't play much role.

"Leave it alone, you come with me." Zhu Changning took Zhu Changyuan's hand and walked into the innermost courtyard, smiled, and pointed to the people in the courtyard: "Do you see it?" It's all here, and it's up to you. ”

Zhu Changyuan immediately straightened his clothes, walked in front of his second uncle, who is now the King of Bohai, knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed a few times, and said, "Nephew, I wish Uncle Wang a thousand years old." ”

"Hehehehehe. Okay, get up, get up quickly. King Bohai personally got up and helped Zhu Changyuan up, and said, "Good boy, you have been wronged." However, now that the country is in trouble and family feuds, don't be angry. He will recover the whole Liao one day, and Uncle Wang will definitely give you a big family business. ”

King Bohai was forty years old, a big fat man, with a white face and no beard, looking lacking in energy, a little sickly, and his spirit was not very good.

"My nephew thanked Uncle Wang first."

"Okay, you go and sit over there, and you'll have a distinguished guest coming."

Zhu Changyuan nodded, seeing that there was still a seat next to Zhu Changning, he walked over and sat down, but unexpectedly, a young man in jade belt brocade next to him frowned, pulled up the stool and retreated a long distance.

"Brother Chang Yu, what are you doing?" Zhu Changning's face was a little displeased.

Zhu Changyu is the son of Zhu Yifan, the king of Bohai, but he is not the eldest son, but only a third son. However, Zhu Changyu can be favored by one person, that is, the King of Bohai.

Of course, this is also his proud capital.

Zhu Yifan has four sons, the eldest son died early, the second son Zhu Changlin, the third son Zhu Changyu, the fourth son also died early, the fifth is Zhu Changning's brother Zhu Changting, the sixth is Zhu Changyuan himself, and the seventh Zhu Changning.

Among the younger generation, there are only these seven people. Except for the two who died young, Zhu Changlin and Zhu Changting served in the army again, and only Zhu Changyu and Zhu Changning were left in the family, and Zhu Changyuan was naturally kicked out of the house long ago.

The reason why he was kicked out of the house early was because the King of Bohai did not like him, and Zhu Changyuan's father was the former prince of the palace, and later died for no apparent reason.

"Huh." Zhu Changyu shook his head: "I don't sit with the hillbilly. Stretched out his hand and pulled up a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl beside him, and said, "Cousin, we are sitting opposite." ”

The girl has bright eyes and bright teeth, her little face is very cute, her skin is delicate, white as snow, and she is already a beauty embryo at a young age.

However, what disappointed Zhu Changyuan was that the arrogant look on this woman's face was even heavier than Zhu Changyu's, she looked at him with a pout, raised her face slightly and said, "Okay, I don't like hillbillies, and I even have to be replaced by someone else for a birthday gift." ”

Zhu Changyuan shook his head self-deprecatingly, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and didn't get to know them. Alas, I don't have the confidence to have some insight with others, fight, I can't do it, I slap my face, I don't have capital.

The only thing left is to beat the soy sauce. Hehe.

"Bang bang...... There were suddenly a few gunshots outside, and then, a hearty laugh came: "Lord Wang, Lao Jin, I'm here to disturb the roar." ”

"Hahahaha." Lao Jin had not yet shown his head, but the King of Bohai stood up early, walked to the gate of the courtyard and personally invited a general wearing armor to the inner courtyard.

As soon as this man arrived, all the people of prestige sitting in the courtyard got up to greet him.

"General Kim." King Bohai pointed at General Jin with a smile, "The general of Ning Yuancheng is also the favorite general of Governor Wu. I'll tell you a secret, I heard that General Jin is about to be promoted to the rank of general soldier. ”

General Jin was a little embarrassed, took off the outermost armor on his body and sat on a chair, and a team of soldiers held the armor in his hands.

"The prince is polite, hahahaha, Jin is not hypocritical, the matter of the deputy chief soldier has basically been decided. However, there is no big or small official position, and he goes to the battlefield only to kill the enemy and serve the country and ensure the safety of one party. Speaking of this, his tone was a little heavy: "Jin is ashamed, he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, the country has not been kept, the land has not been defended, but the official is getting bigger and bigger, every time he thinks of this, cold sweat is dripping on his back." Fail to live up to the grace of God. ”

Zhu Changyuan listened to General Jin's words, and secretly admired it in his heart, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any famous general surnamed Jin in the late Ming Dynasty, so he asked Zhu Changning: "What is the origin of this guy?" ”

Zhu Changning didn't know what he had eaten just now, so he lowered his head and leaned into Zhu Changyuan's ear and said: "Ning Yuan's staff general Jin Guofeng is a fierce general, who used to follow Inspector Yuan, then followed Zu Dashou, and then gave Inspector Sun a hand, and now he has become Wu Ah Heng's general, and I heard that he is about to be promoted to deputy commander-in-chief. ”

"Jin Guofeng?" Zhu Changyuan shook his head, he had never heard of this person.
