On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a grand court meeting will be held in the palace, so the officials still have to go to work. That day was also the most boring time for Zhu Houzhao, and there were all kinds of etiquette to pay attention to from morning to night.

After that, there will be five days off.

This holiday is really not much, because Zhu Yuanzhang is not good for these official groups.

In the Daimyo's Mansion, Wang Yue, who had a will, did not dare to stay at home for a long time, and went north to Beijing on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In winter, it is difficult to walk as soon as the road ice melts, and when I arrived in Beijing in a hurry, the people in the capital were ready to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

In a carriage outside the city gate, Wang Zhi lifted the blue curtain, she was fifteen years old in the new year, but she didn't have any memory of Jingshi in her memory, this was the first sight.

"It's a majestic city."

The girl's eyes were crooked, her face was red, and her hair fluttered in the wind.

But Wang Yue was much more silent,

For him, this moment is a real thing.

"Into town!"

So he went straight to the palace gate.

He was able to recover this time, largely due to the crown prince's credit,

For Wang Yue, since Li Guang is no longer there, it is also a top priority to find a backer in the palace, and the prince is obviously the most suitable candidate.

In terms of being favored by the emperor, where can Li Guang compare with the crown prince.

However, if the general of the border army has a close relationship with the prince, it is relatively taboo in the officialdom.

However, in this dynasty, the emperor only has such a son, and he himself gives the prince more face than the ministers.

"Ministers Wang Yue, see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live long live! ”

……

……

East Palace,

Liu Jin and the crown prince said: "Your Highness, Wang Yue has already entered the palace. ”

"Arriving in Jingshi so soon, he can be regarded as in a hurry."

"His Royal Highness has made great efforts for him, and I think that Lord Wang is also trying to make new contributions, so that he can live up to the kindness of the court and His Royal Highness. Therefore, it is natural that they do not dare to delay the time to enter Beijing. ”

"On such a cold day, it would be difficult for an old man to travel like this. Did he come alone? ”

"It doesn't seem to be. The fan from the east factory came to report. Wang Yue also brought his family. There are two grandchildren and a granddaughter. Liu Jin saw that His Royal Highness couldn't understand it, so he explained: "I guess I want to go to Guozijian to enroll." ”

Oh, Zhu Houzhao understood. Wang Wei followed his father to Guozijian to study.

"That granddaughter too?"

"Granddaughter's words......" Liu Jin panicked a little, but still said honestly, "Your Highness forgives you." Then the slave and the maid will be sent to find out. ”

"No need." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, he would not monitor his courtiers to this point, and Wang Yue was this age.

At this time,

Wang Yue was seeing the driver in the Qianqing Palace, probably because he said something to thank the emperor for his kindness, and the emperor also made some encouragement. The old general was still hesitating for a while to go to the East Palace so clearly,

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi said directly: "Although General Wang has worked hard all the way, he is not in a hurry to go back and rest first." After stepping down, let's go to the East Palace to meet my crown prince. ”

Wang Yue was a little surprised by this, so he also glanced up at the emperor's expression.

I found that the people on the throne were somewhat proud. It's like there's something good and I can't wait to show it.

"This time, Aiqing was able to recover smoothly, thanks to the prince. The prince and I are one and the same, and it is a pity that he is not here today, but you are also his courtier, and you should go and see him. ”

The king has been away from the court for a long time,

Unexpectedly, the emperor and the crown prince have become the same political symbol.

"Weichen, Leader."

Emperor Hongzhi is like this, he has never thought of limiting the power of the crown prince, and is even trying to find a way to show his majesty for the prince. For him, he is not worried, he is more worried that he has not been able to leave a qualified heir for Daming.

When Wang Yue arrived at the East Palace,

found a noble, small-looking child-like person who was practicing calligraphy seriously in front of the bookcase,

This made the image of the letter appear in his mind, thinking about the word: it is to practice.

Wang Yue is a military general, but he is actually a Jinshi, and he can also play the same set of literati.

"Minister Wang Yue, participate in His Highness!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't play the set of greeting each other,

As soon as Wang Yue was able to recover, thanks to him, it can be said that he also took on the burden for himself, and this grace was heavy enough, so he almost tied his head to him. So there's no need to put yourself in a particularly low position, as if you're begging for someone.

In the end, if you can get things done, it's not that Corporal Lixian's trick is enough.

Second, after all, Wang Yue had done something that disliked the 'merit reward' too thin, which was inconsistent with the courtesy of the courtiers. To some extent, he is a fierce general, so his posture is too low, but it fuels his arrogance. In the end, the power of himself, the crown prince, is not enough for him.

So he just sat and quietly watched Wang Yue finish the ceremony.

"Let's be flat."

The two looked at each other.

Zhu Houzhao was surprised by the old man, although he was old, he still had a heroic spirit on his face.

Wang Yue was surprised by the prince's steadiness that was not commensurate with his age. 's heart is also the evaluation of this prince by others...... Naturally, I don't dare to slack off,

"Wechen thank Your Highness for your kindness! If it weren't for His Royal Highness's respect and trust, how could he be today? ”

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, no matter how 'conceited and heroic' you are, it's okay if you are honest here.

After thinking about it, he said: "I must nominate you as the chief officer of the three sides, not so that you, General Wang, can glorify your ancestors." It is for the court, for the Ming Dynasty, and for the people at the border. ”

This is the first time Wang Yue has heard the prince speak, and his words are not peculiar, but the momentum of the superior in his tone is very strong.

Because Zhu Houzhao has been the prince for several months.

"Weichen understands that if he goes to the northwest again this time, the minister will definitely guard the northwest for the emperor and His Royal Highness. Your Highness, please rest assured, the ministers have fought with the Tatars all their lives, and they still have the confidence that they will not be defeated by the enemy. ”

"How to fight is a matter for the generals of the border army and you, the chief officer of the tripartite, and this palace doesn't want to talk about it too much." Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "What this palace wants to say is another thing...... A few days ago, I sent a letter to the general, saying that I was determined to make great efforts to revitalize the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. Just where you kneel, there is also a Ming official, a big man crying and asking the palace to promise him that he will become a generation of saints in the future. In fact, there is just one meaning, Da Ming can no longer be bullied by the Tatars like this. ”

Wang Yue's heart was shocked, the prince's words hit the itch in his heart!

"The gentlemen of the Zhan Mansion have now told the palace a lot of cases of the Han dynasty being slaughtered in the middle and late periods, and the generals and ministers of the court and the border army are suspicious, and the biggest constraint after a battle is in the rear. This palace doesn't want to hear the same story in my Ming Dynasty, so this palace wants to believe the general, and the general can rest assured that he will go to the border pass, and there are some traitors in the court when Emperor Xianzong, and no one will call the shots for you at that time......

…… Now, Hongu is in charge of you! ”

Wang Yuehu's eyes were sour, and his grievances for many years came to his heart, and he almost burst into tears.

"Your Highness's kindness to the ministers is as thick as a mountain, and the ministers really don't know how to repay Your Highness!"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Why don't you know? In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, you reported a great victory to Jingshi, and you will pay back this favor! ”

Wang Yue's emotions also came up, and he said like an oath: "Weichen is already old, and there are not many days to come, this time the recovery is also the luck of stealing the sky, the moment he receives the holy decree, the minister's heart has been clear, if he does not hit the enemy this time, the minister will not return!" ”

Swear not to pay it back......

Zhu Houzhao took out a letter from the bookcase, "This general is holding it." ”

Liu Jin took it and gave it to Wang Yue.

The old general's face changed instantly when he saw this paper, "Your Highness...... This is......? ”

"This palace said that it is not easy to let the rear hinder the general, this is not an easy sentence. The situation in the DPRK is constantly disputed, and all parties have complicated thoughts. This is one of them. But...... Leave the battle of the court to me, and the battle of the enemy outside the territory to you. Let's cooperate with each other and give him a bright northwest! ”

At this point, Wang Yue was really shocked by this highness.

The outside world said that the Ming prince had a good plan, in the past he just listened, but now he knows that if anyone fights with this, it will really be a big luck! Before the others went, the prince was already thinking about what was going on over there.

"Weichen, Leader!" Wang Yue put away the note, and shouted with great energy.
