Mao Rong's title was given to his great-grandfather, Nanning Bo Mao Sheng.

Mao Sheng went out with the army in the orthodox years, participated in the defense of Beijing during the Jingtai period, managed the drills of 3,000 battalions, and then pacified all over the country, and was awarded the title of Nanning Bo.

Mao Rong's grandfather was okay and made some contributions, but his father was not. Now it is the fourth generation - the seventh year of Hongzhi, Mao Rong has been the lord of Nanning, and it has been five years now, so it can be said that he has not made an inch.

And although he is tall and has long legs, his face is white and delicate, his limbs are thin, and he has no military momentum and courage when he walks.

Zhu Houzhao frowned when he saw it.

"Chen Tengxiang left guard commanded Mao Rong, see His Royal Highness the Prince." He spoke openly, and his tone was soft.

And he shook his head, as if he was very uncomfortable wearing a stomach.

Not to mention his wine-colored hollowed out body, at least he doesn't have the air of a martial artist.

It is said that after the civil fort, Xungui was wiped out, and all that was left behind was such a good thing.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't hide his disappointment, threw the book in his hand on the table, and ordered, "There is only one very simple thing for you to do. If you don't do well, I want your head."

The prince has been fighting with those elite ministers in the court all the year round, and the habit he has developed is actually very strong, otherwise how can he beg in the jungle fog?

It was this pressure on Mao Rong's head, and he was a little unbearable to speak...... It sounds nervous.

"But by ...... Your Highness commands!"

"You have 5,000 soldiers and horses in your hands, and there are 500 Tatar missions in the capital, and tomorrow morning my father will issue a holy decree, and the court will no longer provide for the expenses of these 500 people.

"Commandment!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at him and felt a little annoyed, and waved his hand, "Go down."

He had already had the idea of changing people.

But at present, there is no suitable candidate, Tengxiang Zuowei has 5,000 people, and he is not going to fight, or in Beijing City, the task is actually very simple, so there is no big problem for the time being.

If 5,000 people can't even look at 500 people, then Mao Rong's head can't be saved.

Liu Jin on the side practiced the kung fu of observing words and feelings,

As soon as he saw that the prince's face was wrong, he tentatively said, "Your Highness...... But I don't like Nanningbo very much?"

"At that time, Nanning Boxi favored Chenglie, worked hard and strategized, and praised the court and the central government, all without any different words. Look at this person again, frizzy and irritable, without half a bit of stability, you can only say that you are a dog. People often say that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and in my opinion, most of them are not as good as the next generation."

But if you want to say that this Nanning Bo should be removed immediately.

This is a matter of long-term consideration.

There are already many people in the court who are secretly opposing him, and he has not yet made a move against the group of Xungui, if it is too rash, it is really not his style.

Governing the country by people can never be based on will.

"Your Highness, there is a story here, and I hope Your Highness will love to hear it."

"Oh?" Zhu Houzhao rose in his heart with anticipation,

….

Sometimes people like this kind of 'female female, in fact, are easy to use, he will touch your mind, scratch your itch, and solve your problem.

"The Earl of Nanning is his great-grandfather, and his father Mao Wen is far inferior to his ancestor. Because of this, Mao Wen has more than one son."

Zhu Houzhao understood, "Among Mao Wen's sons, are there those who are virtuous?"

"Yes, but ...... It seems to be an illegitimate child, called Mao language."

"Oh, that's better."

The pig's foot plot of the Jedi counterattack, coming out of the darkness, can forge perseverance and strength.

It was this name that made Zhu Houzhao feel weird.

But I think there is no word for language in this era,

You can't help it when people come up with this name.

Liu Jin saw that the prince's face turned from sad to happy, and he was inspired a lot. Last time, Zhang Yong presented a brave and unparalleled Wu Junchuan, and the prince praised him a lot.

But in the final analysis, Wu Junchuan has not become a climate now.

In this comparison, the one with the title of Earl of Nanning is obviously different.

"If Your Highness answers, the matter will be handled by the slave maid."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and agreed.

Roughly replacing Mao Rong will make many nobles feel cold. And the choice is to keep Nanningbo by his side, this effect is much better.

The collective of Xungui is actually the same as the royal family.

They also don't have any imperial examinations to take, as long as they are loyal to the emperor, the emperor will give him glory and wealth.

As for the rebellion, this option was of little value to the nobles of the Ming Dynasty...... When later generations looked at the rebellion, they always felt that the emperor had offended him, so he simply rebelled, as if he was very arrogant, but in fact it was not, the rebellion was to destroy the nine clans.

But as long as there is a way to live, ordinary people will not rebel, Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk back then, and he never thought about rebelling, so he really couldn't live.

So these nobles are nobles themselves, so why bother?

And they are naturally willing to be close to the royal family,

Many of the generals in the camp were also nobles, and the emperor trusted them.

So this Mao Rong got this position.

By the evening of this day,

Zhu Houzhao got another important piece of information,

He had asked Liu Jin to send someone to find out where the 1,500 Tatars who had entered the customs but had not entered Beijing had gone and what they had done.

The little eunuch who came to pay the prayer said a word: When the gentry of the powerful family heard that the northern captives were paying tribute, they used colored forging, iron tools and other things to exchange their horses.

With this sentence, Zhu Houzhao understands why his mother wants to send so many people,

It's a purchasing team at all.

"So, they're going to buy something."

Liu Jin said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I am short of horses in Datong, Xuanfu and other places, and the Tatars are short of iron tools. Therefore, every time the northern captives paid tribute, they would implore the emperor to agree to provide iron tools. In addition, they will also buy large quantities of iron utensils from the private sector."

Zhu Houzhao thought that this was actually because of the difference in smelting technology.

In other words, the ban on the sale of iron weapons is the arms embargo of this year.

"So...... Where is the great joy." Zhu Houzhao was dissatisfied with Zhou Du in his heart, "That little prince can't afford to be early, since he thinks he is a masterpiece of his generation, how can he do such a meaningless thing?"

….

He paced around the hall and pondered for a while, "That Mao language, can you find him?"

"Of course you can, as long as Your Highness is willing."

"Okay, then let Hongu see what he's capable of." Zhu Houzhao analyzed: "If I were a little prince, I would only have the opportunity to pay tribute once a year, and I would definitely cherish it very much. In order to be able to buy more iron tools, I must first send people to the south, and communicate with some merchants in private, and everything must be arranged in an orderly manner, otherwise I will be like a fly without a head, and I will not be able to control the results?"

Liu Jin secretly said in his heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really a thoughtful person, "So His Highness means ......"

Zhu Houzhao frowned, revealing ruthlessness, "Let Mao Wenwen lead someone to investigate immediately to see who is secretly trading behind the scenes." Track them down, find them, and kill them!"

"Your Highness, do you think that this kind of thing needs to be done by the emperor, let the brocade guard go out?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned and fell on Liu Jin's face, "If you can trade with the Tatars, how can this be an ordinary businessman?" They may be able to find out the news from the DPRK and China, so they can't use Jinyiwei, so they have to use this Mao language that no one has ever expected, and choose some Dongchang fans to be controlled by him."

Eunuch Liu once again praised the prince's thoughtfulness.

"The slave and the maid understand, and the slave and the maid will do it."

"Wait

。」

Liu Jin turned his head and bent down to face the prince.

"Liu Jin, you are a cautious person, I have never seen this Mao Wen Essence Palace once. On the surface, he is in essence trusting you. Don't disappoint this palace."

Liu Jin's scalp was numb instantly, now it's okay, put himself in!

"The slave and maid understand what His Highness means, and the eyes of the slave and maid will not look at the wrong person."

"I hope so."

……

……

At the same time, Liu Jian also prepared the summons according to the intention of the emperor and the crown prince, they are all old rivers and lakes, but they can't predict the future.

"As soon as this decree comes out, I don't know how much turmoil it will be tomorrow......

The eldest son of Da Ming.
