Daming, Nanjing.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who is over the age of six, is still in good spirits, and he is busy from morning to night every day, and has been handling official business. Fortunately, the prince has been in charge for a long time, and he can help Zhu Yuanzhang deal with government affairs and reduce a lot of his burden.

He now also acquiesced to Zhu Biao's handling of most of the movements, and he would make the final approval.

Therefore, the military report of the expedition to the Northern Yuan Dynasty was also obtained by Zhu Biao first.

Looking at the two military newspapers in front of him, Zhu Biao had mixed feelings in his heart.

One is Lanyu's, and Shang Song said that he annihilated the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the area of Yuerhai, and captured most of the courtiers and nobles of the Northern Yuan, as well as the Yuan lord.

In addition, there are more than 150,000 heads of cattle and sheep, horses and other livestock, as well as the seals and property of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

This is a great news for the Ming Dynasty, now the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty has finally disappeared, since then the pressure on the border defense of the nine borders has been greatly reduced, and the people in the border areas can also relieve the pressure on their shoulders.

But another Zhu Di's report, Zhu Biao looked at it and felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Di went out on this expedition and broke the Harazhang Department and other large and small tribes, capturing a total of 100,000 people and animals, and the record was luxurious, compared with Lan Yu's, it was only a few less political benefits.

Counting Zhu Di's previous record in the Battle of Jinshan, he first broke through Jinshan, and then attacked the Songhua River, and cooperated with the army to defeat the Nahabu.

Zhu Di is not only a rising star in the Ming Army, but a dazzling star!

After these two battles, Zhu Di's position in the army is extremely stable, and even Yongchang Marquis Lanyu is no longer easy to underestimate King Yan.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di's recital, and felt very uncomfortable.

As the crown prince, he has always loved his brothers, and he will feel very pleased to have excellent brothers, after all, his position as prince is so stable that he doesn't mind his brothers showing their talents.

But around Zhu Biao, there was always a group of people who admonished Zhu Di and regarded Zhu Di as a great threat, instigating him to attack Zhu Di, which made Zhu Biao very annoyed.

Even Lan Yu told him in private that Zhu Di was a big disaster, and hoped that Zhu Biao could eradicate him as soon as possible.

Zhu Biao also understands that sooner or later the Ming Dynasty will cut the domain, after all, he can stand the fact that his brothers have so much power, but his descendants may not be.

But now that his father is still on the throne, it is not his turn to speak, and one or two want to be the right monarch in their hearts.

But the monarch in each of their hearts is different, he Zhu Biao can't come to one person with a thousand faces, right? There will always be a group of people who are dissatisfied, so Zhu Biao also took these words as a deaf ear.

He never thought that Zhu Di would threaten his crown prince, and then his throne.

You must know that his position as the crown prince was set by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, Zhu Biao is also very clear, set the prince early, cultivate early, avoid chaos in the royal family, and let his successor be above the level, so as not to appear incompetent.

If you really want to move his crown prince, there is only one person who can, and that is the deceased Queen Ma, his biological mother Zhu Biao.

But this kind of thing is impossible to think about, so what is Zhu Biao afraid of?

However, considering the ideas of the subordinates, Zhu Biao also planned to make some compromises, and stationed some generals in the army who were friendly with Zhu Di in a different place, and did not put them in the Beiping area, which was regarded as a blow to Zhu Di.

After Zhu Biao entered the palace, he handed these two good news to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to consider how to reward them.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading these two good news, he bowed down and said: "I want to make some transfers of the meritorious men of the Beiping Division." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him sharply, and Lao Zhu knew what he was thinking about him.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly refused, and said: "The reward is not your reward, and you don't need to be afraid of your fourth brother!" ”

"Titles, generals in the army, and hundreds of officials are all on your side, what do you have to worry about?"

Zhu Biao could only touch his nose helplessly and sighed: "I really have to do it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and taught Zhu Biao a lesson: "When you are an emperor, the most important thing is to make a decision, you can't always be influenced by this group of ministers, listening to the wind is the rain." ”

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "What's more, this expedition to the Northern Yuan Dynasty has nearly 300,000 prisoners, and you have to ask your fourth brother to settle them in Beiping Dusi, and you can't do it without a knife in your hand." ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he understood that this should be Jinyiwei who reported part of the military report to Zhu Yuanzhang through the secret music in advance.

The placement of nearly 300,000 captives is not a small problem, Zhu Biao thought of this, his eyes rolled, and he came up with a good idea.

"Father, I want to send some of my subordinates of the East Palace to Beiping to help resettle the herdsmen together, so as to show their ability, otherwise the retainers don't know what their ability is."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and asked, "Who are you going to send?" ”

Zhu Biao thought about it and said: "This matter can't cause any obstacles to my fourth brother, it's better to send some minor officials, as well as my group of junior brothers, such as Fang Xiaoru, who are not highly qualified, so they shouldn't have any bad impact on major events." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and felt that it was okay.

"Then do it! You remember to tell them that the main thing to go is to see, and if you really have any strategy, remember to give it to me first, so that I can think about it and then make a decision. ”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not very eye-catching to Zhu Biao's group of junior brothers, talents always have to be experienced, not to mention that he is not easy to refute the prince.

Now the prince's approach Zhu Yuanzhang can also understand, it is nothing more than sending out the group of people who have been nagging in his ears to do things, and the roots of his ears are idle.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is still very impressed, after all, he is Song Lian's apprentice, and he has always been quite filial piety. And he was framed and imprisoned before, but the prince helped him intercede before he was released.

As far as Zhu Yuanzhang's perception is concerned, this Fang Xiaoru's character is really good, and his ability to do things is not obvious anyway, and he can still be framed and imprisoned in a place, and his methods of handling things may not be tactful.

But in the end, it is the prince's junior brother, and Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely give the opportunity that should be given.

And in the final analysis, with King Yan there, it is not difficult to settle the descending department of the Northern Yuan.

Just throw it over and take a look, it's talent that will always be revealed.

Zhu Biao got his father's permission, he was very happy, and after returning to the East Palace, he immediately invited Fang Xiaoru to tell him about the matter, and he also praised him, leaving him with only the big things in the future.

Fang Xiaoru happily agreed, and said confidently: "Settle down and surrender the people, this trip will definitely help His Highness to take care of King Yan and the Marquis of Yongchang." ”

As soon as Zhu Biao heard this, he felt that something was wrong, I didn't let you go to see King Yan and Lan Yu!

Seeing that Fang Xiaoru had such a deep prejudice against Zhu Di and the two, Zhu Biao also had a headache, and some regretted mentioning in front of Zhu Yuanzhang that Fang Xiaoru would go to Beiping.

It's hard to regret it now, and he has already mentioned Fang Xiaoru's name to Zhu Yuanzhang, and now he has also told Fang Xiaoru that if Fang Xiaoru is temporarily pulled back and not let him go, it will be embarrassing.

Zhu Biao sent Fang Xiaoru out, and after thinking about it, he called Huang Zicheng again, although Huang Zicheng also thought that he wanted to cut the domain, but he was not as stubborn as Fang Xiaoru, and he didn't look down on the generals in the army so much.

Zhu Biao planned to send Huang Zicheng to Beiping as well, so as to reconcile the stinky temper of the filial piety below as much as possible, so as not to clash with the current generals in Beiping.

Huang Zicheng said after listening to Zhu Biao's plan.

"Your Highness wants to avoid Fang Xiaoru from clashing with them, then I alone is not enough, Fang Xiaoru has a clear reputation in Shilin, I'm afraid I can't stop him."

"I suggest that Cao Guogong or Wei Guogong follow, they are also from Jiangmen, they can talk to the Marquis of Yongchang, and they have some kinship with King Yan, so it is more appropriate."

Zhu Biao thought about it again and again, and decided to send Cao Guogong over, after all, this is a real relative of the Heavenly Family, and it is relatively reliable.

Wei Guogong is also Xu Da, who has always been low-key, and he may not be willing to get involved in this matter.

Moreover, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is good at reading military books, and often has a reputation for big discussions, and he Zhu Biao has also heard of it, and his ability is not bad, and he has been rated as superior in several military trainings in a row.

Although he felt that Li Jinglong had only learned Li Wenzhong's fur, Li Wenzhong was a famous general in the world, and Li Jinglong had learned a little fur, which was not bad.

This did not prevent him from asking Li Jinglong to come forward and do some small things.

So Zhu Biao decided to let Li Jinglong, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru be the leaders, and lead a group of subordinates of the East Palace to Beiping to help deal with the settlement of 300,000 descendants.

Zhu Di, who was still in the rotation of the army, didn't know that the prince had sent him such a group of people, and he was asking Zhang Yu to preside over the distribution of property.

Roughly speaking, the generals will divide fifty percent, and the soldiers will take another fifty percent, and he himself will not want it.

To put it into the past, according to the unspoken rules in the army, he, Zhu Di, as the commander, should win two to three percent alone, and ordinary soldiers can have two achievements.

But this is not that Zhu Di has such a son-in-law as He Qiu, and now he is not short of money at all, and Zhu Di does not care about the property obtained from this expedition.

This made Zhu Di's soldiers very happy, and even the generals were very happy, after all, according to the previous rules, the generals couldn't take so much.

This made them more friendly to Zhu Di, Zhu Di not only led them to make meritorious contributions, but also handed over most of the property they robbed to them, righteous!

After the class teacher returned to the court, there was also a reward from the imperial court, and this expedition made a lot of money.
