Shuntian Mansion, Qianqing Palace.

After a short and rapid cough, all kinds of hurried sounds came from the Qianqing Palace.

However......

"Let's all go out...... Zhu Di took a breath and waved his hand away from the palace maids and chamberlains.

……

"Boss, sit." Seeing that the chamberlain and the palace maid had left, Zhu Di beckoned and asked Zhu Gaochi to sit down.

"Have you seen the excerpts of Zhan Qi?"

"Back to my father, my son has seen it." Although Zhu Gaochi sat down, he still lowered his head.

"Then tell Dad, what do you really think?"

……

As soon as Zhu Di said this, the Qianqing Palace fell into a long silence.

What do you really think?

Zhu Gaochi's true thoughts naturally didn't want to agree, not that he was afraid that after the marriage between King Wu and the Mu family, he would sit so big that the imperial court could not solve it.

Although, the current line of King Wu is already beyond the reach of the imperial court.

No one is a fool, Zhu Gaochi never thought of letting the Mu family leave one by one, at least they couldn't take those Mu family troops away, at most they would bring thirty or twenty thousand for guarding.

Zhu Zhanyan didn't ask for it, although he didn't say it in the recital, but he didn't mention it as an attitude, after all, the transfer of 300,000 people is not a trivial matter, if he really wants to do this, it is impossible not to mention it.

If you really do it directly without mentioning it, it will force the imperial court to take the initiative, and there is a reasonable reason.

Zhu Gaochi didn't want to agree, in fact, it was mainly because he didn't want to let Mu Sheng and Mu Ang leave.

Although Mu Sheng and Mu Ang do not have too eye-catching records, they can be regarded as rare generals, after all, after the "baptism" of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Taizu Gao, the generals of the Ming Dynasty are like broken stubble.

Although the Mu family and King Wu are relatively close, how many generals in the court are not inclined to follow Zhu Zhan Yan to do things?

Moreover, for Zhu Gaochi, the Mu family, which has been deeply rooted in Yunnan for 40 years, is not only a family of military generals, but also a family of civil servants.

It was not easy to govern the place in Yunnan that was still a Tusi system without any rebellion for 40 years.

"Let them go......" Seeing that the eldest son didn't speak, Zhu Di sighed lightly.

"Zhan said that a canal will be opened to the northwest of Thornsa and Adan where Marble has been, connecting the western ocean of Delhi Sultan with the sea further west."

"When the time comes, even if the Mu family is on the side of the Timurid Empire, as long as you want, you can send an ocean-going treasure fleet to take a look at it at any time."

"In addition, once it is completely connected, Zhan Yan will not be so threatening, at least the imperial court has a way to counteract, and at the same time, it can also stimulate the commercial development of the Ming Dynasty and create more taxes for the imperial court."

"Without the Mu family, Zhan Yan can't take care of such a big place, listening to what Zhan Yan said, it would be a pity if he gave up over there."

"The sons obey the Emperor's Father's Commandment." Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.

The old man is still the same old man, and he has never changed.

At the beginning, the imperial court had not moved the capital, and when Zhu Gaoxu and his family were still in Yingtianfu, after returning from the Northern Expedition to the grassland, the old man used such a hand.

At that time, the old man asked Zhu Gaochi to take charge of the affairs of Xianzhong Temple, and let this son, who was good at civil and political affairs and basically did not contact with military generals on weekdays, deal with military generals.

At the same time, let Zhu Gaoxu be responsible for dealing with the bereavement of the fallen soldiers, and let the son who is good at fighting and is extremely bad with Wenchen on weekdays deal with Wenchen.

With such a hand, the chaotic situation at that time was completely stabilized, and everyone understood that he, Zhu Di, was the one in charge.

And now, the old man has repeated his old tricks, which once again made both sides disgusted.

In order to facilitate his younger brother's family affairs, Zhu Zhanyan had no choice but to make concessions and show his future plans to the imperial court, which made Zhu Zhanyan feel somewhat lost.

At the same time, the old man was half consoling and half coercing to make Zhu Gaochi agree, but he knew that Zhu Gaochi was unwilling to do such a thing that would cost the people and money.

Zhu Di knew very well that when he went down to see Emperor Taizu Gao, his son would most likely suspend his trip to the West, because he didn't know how many times he had said it before.

But now, going to the West has become a means to contain Zhu Zhanyan.

did it, and it cost the people and money, which was inconsistent with Zhu Gaochi's original intention.

If you don't do it, the development of the court on Zhu Zhan's side will not be clear, it is like being blindfolded, even if you are as benevolent as Zhu Gaochi, you will feel uneasy.

I have to say that the old man is still the same old man, not only because he is old, but even more spicy.

——

From Xiangzhou Mansion to Shuntian Mansion, it was originally very fast, and it only took about 20 days to travel by water, and it was even faster to deliver letters.

However, because I had to go to Yunnan halfway and obtain the consent of the Mu family, it would take a long time, and this time and again, it would be gone for more than two months.

Xiangzhou Mansion, the old Siam Royal Palace.

"Okay, don't be sad." Zhu Zhanyan angrily played his younger brother with a brain melon, and his face was full of hatred.

"Didn't the Mu family agree? I said it all, as long as the Mu family agrees, then there will be no problem, you just wait for Sister Mu, who married you, to enter the door! ”

However, although he said so, Zhu Zhanyan was very emotional in his heart.

This man of the Zhu family is really a lover, that is, he has such a variable as himself, otherwise it is estimated that it will all be.

"Really...... No problem? Zhu Zhanqi was still a little worried.

After all, he has been trained, and Zhu Zhanqi is very aware of the difficulties here, which is why he is so worried.

"Want to know?" Zhu Zhanyan raised his eyebrows.

"If you want to know, just ask yourself, haven't they all arrived at Xiangzhou Mansion with Second Uncle Mu? Although I came here for my wedding, I didn't delay you from asking. ”

"Alright!" Zhu Zhanyan patted his younger brother on the shoulder and stood up.

"It's your brother's wedding in a few days, and you're so sad?"

"Originally, my wedding was neither as high as my cousin's standard, nor as grand as others, and I couldn't even go to the Taimiao Temple to make incense, so you still put this frustration on me."

After playing his younger brother's brain, Zhu Zhanyan turned around and left.

……

In the twenty-second year of Yongle, the first day of the third month.

Today's Xiangzhou Mansion is particularly lively, Xiangzhou City is full of lanterns, and the crowded streets are full of people watching the excitement.

They all came out for Zhu Zhan's wedding, but they were going to be disappointed.

Zhu Zhanji's wedding is no better than Zhu Zhanji's imperial grandson, and it is held in Xiangzhou Mansion, which means that many procedures will be omitted.

When the auspicious time arrives, on the first street outside the south gate of the old Siam Palace, a colored sedan chair slowly appears in front of people.

The crowded and noisy street soon fell silent, and people watched the sedan chair enter the old Siam Palace.

In the palace, Zhu Zhan Yan was standing at the gate, although he was not in the Central Plains, but in accordance with the etiquette of the Han family, he took Hu Shanshu who got off the sedan chair into the palace.

Go to the main hall, kowtow to Zhu Gaochu and Princess Wu, and then Princess Wu will train her daughter, Zhu Gaoxu will train her father, and the two will kneel to the north and worship, this great gift will be completed.

If you are in Beijing, you will inevitably have to worship the old man, the old man will admonish, and then take a large family to the temple to comfort the ancestors, and finally be able to feast guests.

But in this Xiangzhou Mansion, this is the end.

After the ceremony, the banquet naturally began, and it can be said that this banquet is also of a high standard, because in addition to Chen Xun, Jin Ya and Hu Sui and other officials who are stationed in Xiangzhou Mansion, the Wusi Zangdu Division sent envoys over, the Guanxi Qiwei sent people over, and even the imperial court sent Yang Shiqi over.

A wedding gathers many forces, and they are all influential forces.

However, no matter how you say it, this wedding was not held in Beijing, and for Zhu Zhanyan, a person who has made countless contributions to the Ming Dynasty and is also a member of the royal family, he is somewhat aggrieved.

Following.

Early in the morning, Zhu Zhanyan took Hu Shanshu, who had become the princess of King Wu, to salute his parents, and then said to his parents and left the palace directly.

The Mu family is still there, because of the big wedding yesterday, Zhu Zhanyan didn't talk to them about business, and now that the wedding is over, it is naturally time to get down to business.

As for the so-called big wedding, for Zhu Zhanyan, it is an inevitable thing to experience in his life, but this matter is not very meaningful to him, it is just a ritual, an inevitable part of life.

"Are you ready?" As soon as he saw Mu Sheng, Zhu Zhanyan went straight to the point.

"It's all ready to go." Mu Sheng stood up and bowed slightly.

"I'll explain to you first, after I go over, I will listen to Jian Xiao's arrangement first, and when Jian Xiao is done over there, you can accept Second Uncle Mu."

"Except for the things I arranged, you can just follow the Yunnan side, but remember not to be too generous to the surviving people of the Timurid Empire, just like I did with Siam, Nanzhang, and later the Delhi Sultan."

"Three generations are limited, and only after three generations can they get out of the lowly status and become the real Ming people, during this period, except for the doubling of taxes and the inability to participate in the selection of officials, the rest are in accordance with the standards of the Ming people."

"Yes!" Mu Sheng's heart was relieved.

"That's ......," Zhu Zhanyan sat down with a smile.

"Isn't it time for us to talk about Zhanqi's marriage?"

……

Xiangzhou Mansion is full of joy, and people have not yet come out of the festive atmosphere brought by Zhu Zhan's wedding.

And Shuntianfu, on the other hand, is the opposite.

The news of Zhu Zhan's wedding soon spread to Shuntianfu, after all, this is not a trivial matter, Zhu Zhan's influence and strength are not low, and after the ceremony is successfully completed, it must be the first time to show Shuntian.

However, this is not good news for Suncheon.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Gaochi stood aside with a red face, cursing constantly in his mouth, and the attendants, palace maids and imperial doctors around him were all in a mess.

Zhu Di held the music from Xiangzhou Mansion in his hand, smiling, but he was already out of breath.
