Cui Yuan is going back to Beijing.

When he came back, he went to Beijing to serve, and he could even directly get the title promised by the emperor before, and the title of Earl Jingshan was almost within reach.

Princess Yongkang naturally knew that her husband's title was not so easy to get, in addition to relying on her brother's help, she also relied on Zhang Zhou's "support", so Yongkang couldn't help but give Zhang Zhou a matchmaker, and insisted on sending his sister-in-law to Zhang Zhou's side.

On this day, Yongkang entered the palace and went to greet the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Empress Dowager Zhou has not been feeling well in the past two days, and Yongkang came to visit the patient.

"It's not like that, and it's not your own sister, why do you have to put so much effort into other people's affairs? Bingkuan has the ability again, what does it matter to the Cui family?"

After the old lady knew Yongkang's intentions, there was still a bit of blame in her tone.

Yongkang said, "The Empress Dowager, why don't you help your grandson? The granddaughter who marries out also has to think about her husband's family, besides, even if the grandchild wants to marry his sister, is there that opportunity? The Empress Dowager Zhou's family, there is no suitable one?"

"Poor mouth!" Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at this granddaughter, but she was not angry.

Yongkang smiled and said: "Speaking of which, this Cai Guogong really has won the trust of the imperial brother, and the military affairs of the Beijing division are all under Cai Guogong, sometimes I want to ask the imperial brother for it, but it is better to get the relationship on Cai Guogong's side."

Empress Dowager Zhou said, "You mentioned this matter to your imperial brother?"

"I mentioned it." Yongkang said, "The imperial brother once agreed, saying that he would tell Cai Guogong about this, but then there was no follow-up, probably Cai Guogong didn't like my husband's sister very much. No one has ever seen it, but it can be said that he is very smart, he is all young and beautiful, and he is not happy to enter his door to be a concubine for him?"

"Ahem. Marriage is a major event, and it cannot be forced." Empress Dowager Zhou said.

Yongkang smiled, "Who said that a twisted melon must not be sweet? Those of us who are princesses, which one of us is not blind and dumb when we get married? In the end, no one complained that their life was not tasteful, but it was the young ladies of the people or something, and there were not a few who heard that their marriages were unhappy."

Empress Dowager Zhou glanced over and said, "So you are here to tell the mourning family and let the mourning family help you match?"

Yongkang walked over, took the old lady's arm affectionately and said, "Imperial grandmother, you have always spoken well, even the imperial brother listens to you, not to mention Cai Guogong's side, if the marriage is just to arrange Maoren to Jingying and implement the title, then it will be fine." The royal brother said before, saying that Mao Ren's merits are enough to be knighted, but now he is just talking, and he is waiting anxiously."

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "It is not suitable for the horse to be knighted, if your family is sealed, how do you feel about your sister and sister?"

After all, Yongkang has both a sister and a sister.

Her husband has "made his fortune", but her sister and her sister's colt are still mediocre and have no chance to come out.

Before, these horses were basically the same in character, they were all the kind of low-key characters who did not show the mountains and waters, with the intention of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the light highlighted your family, shouldn't a bowl of water be leveled in the matter of heavy horses?

"Brother Huang can give them a chance, who let Mao Ren perform first? If you have military merits, you don't give a reward, oh, can you make an exception if you have military merits? Ordinary people can be knighted, but not when they come to the horses?"

Yongkang is a bit chattering.

If I don't give me a title, I'm going to make trouble, first come to the old lady to make trouble, and maybe I want to go to the emperor to make trouble when I turn around.

Anyway, being the eldest princess can be regarded as having unique conditions, while the royal brother is still alive now, of course, I have to fight hard, and wait for another generation, who will remember my eldest princess Yongkang?

"Let's talk about it when Maurin returns. The mourning family will continue to worship the Buddha, you can go back first if you are fine, you can say hello to your imperial brother and ask him what he means."

Empress Dowager Zhou's implication, don't bother me, you go to bother your imperial brother.

Yongkang said: "The imperial grandmother and grandson also want to go, but the imperial brother doesn't give me a chance, I can't invite Cai Guogong to have a meal recently, the imperial brother and Cai Guogong are very busy."

"Just call him Bingkuan." Empress Dowager Zhou said, "They are all their own people, if you have the ability, you can go to Bingkuan's side to offer more courtesy, Bingkuan is also a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, the so-called reaching out and not hitting smiling people." Your imperial brother wants Maoren to follow Bingkuan to do things, you also have to understand and put away your temperament. Alright, let's go."

"Imperial Grandmother......

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, please come here."

Jiang Lu was already smiling and waiting for the send-off.

The old lady has spoken, tell you to leave quickly, why don't you understand?

Yongkang got up and said, "Mao Ren finally has a relationship with me, if even I don't help him move around, then no one really thinks about his future. Imperial Grandmother, you must be careful for this grandson-in-law."

"This Yongkang, his own capable husband began to look at no one!"

After her granddaughter left, Empress Dowager Zhou was not in a good mood either.

This is to see that the grandson-in-law's side is developed, and he hates that the Zhou family does not have such a capable person, obviously there are more unique conditions, and there are also people in the Zhou family who follow Zhang Zhou to mix, and have the opportunity to perform on the battlefield, but the result is ...... Not as good as it could be.

Jiang Lu smiled: "Niangniang, maybe it's the green smoke coming from the ancestral tomb of the Cui family."

Empress Dowager Zhou said, "Can't the ancestral grave of the Zhou family be risked? When Bingkuan returned to the palace, he also came to him, I wanted to ask him, is there any good strategy, who said that only other people's children can have a chance, but not the children of the Zhou family?"

Jiang Lu said: "In recent days, Cai Guogong has often entered the palace."

"Then you go and block it, and also go to the emperor's words to pass on the mourners, so that they can come and see when they have time. The mourning family has not been alive for a few years, if this is gone, who will remember the Zhou family? Let the Emperor leave a snack too!"

When Jiang Lu heard this, he felt very familiar.

Yongkang came over just now, didn't he also tell the old lady to let the old lady dredge up the relationship, so that the emperor and Zhang Zhou would pay more attention to Cui Yuan?

The emotional old lady's own problems have not been solved yet, why should she help you Princess Yongkang?

Jiang Lu was also pondering in his heart, it seemed that there was a resource around who could be more familiar with that Cai Guogong and get more favor...... Even if it is a member of the royal family, now instead of scolding the emperor, he will slap up Cai Guogong instead?

After Zhu Youzhu sent Zhang Mao away, he would leave the palace for a few days to go to Yanwutang to discuss military affairs with Zhang Zhou.

It seems that Zhu Youzhi also likes this feeling of entering and leaving the palace gate and looking for freedom.

On this day, Zhu Youzhu also asked Zhu Feng and Lu Wan to come over together and held a banquet in the Yanwu Hall, of course, the protagonist of this banquet table is still Zhang Zhou.

The four of them faced a table of meals, eight dishes and one soup, for an emperor like Zhu Youji, who was known for his frugality, the meals on the table in front of him were already a bit extravagant, but for Zhu Feng and Lu Wan, this was an ordinary home-cooked meal, and it would even be a little shabby.

"Bingkuan, speaking of my brother-in-law, the concubine of the Yongkang family is coming back soon, and you don't seem to be very familiar with him, I asked someone to bring a message to him, and when he comes back, he will come to Yanwutang first, help you, you arrange an errand for him."

Zhu Youzhi doesn't need his sister or grandmother to greet him, he will still think about that little brother-in-law.

Cui Yuan can't do anything else, at least in the matter of being a concubine, he has been conscientious, and he hasn't caused trouble for Zhu Youzhu before, plus he is a strict wife, so Zhu Youzhi has a little good impression of him, which is also related to Cui Yuan's uninhibited personality.

Zhang Zhou looked at Lu Wan, and then said, "It should be more than enough to come and be a teacher."

Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said: "I don't think he can do it, he can't even talk about the army on paper, I have examined the process of his military merits, in fact, he is upright, there is no twisted intestines, and he is determined to lead the troops into the army, he is not very capable, let him be a teacher, what can he tell the students of the Yanwutang?"

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it enough for him to tell the students about the benefits that this can bring, to be able to lead by example, and even to set an example for themselves?"

"Oh? Huh, really?"

Zhu Youzhu was also laughing when he heard this.

As a teacher, you don't need to teach students the art of war, just talk about how to lead the troops forward without brains.

It sounds unreliable, but it's also when you think about it.

It seems that the most lacking character of the Ming soldiers is fearlessness.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Wasn't the mistake made by Baoguo Gong before because he failed to be upright as this Cui Concubine? Your Majesty, if you think that he is not suitable for teaching, you can come back first as a student and study hard, but the minister may not have much time to impart knowledge to him, because the minister actually knows only a little about the art of war or something."

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "Bingkuan, you have always been so straightforward. I agree with what you said, when you teach, you don't need to have much ability, you can maintain a normal mind, and have the courage to speak, that's enough. He told the generals below about his courage...... It's like knowing the festival, and that's enough."

"Huh?"

Zhu Feng was still sitting on the side in a daze.

After all, the emperor didn't move his chopsticks, he was just breaking there, and he could only sit next to him and listen.

At this point, I suddenly found that this matter is still related to me?

Listening to the meaning of the emperor's words, it seems that he is still praising himself.

Lu Wan said respectfully on the side: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that in the past few years, most of the people who can make achievements in the field are people with upright personalities as Cai Guogong said, as long as they are fearless, but anyone who leads the troops forward can reap the results of the battle, all because the weapons of our soldiers have been greatly improved, and the Tatars are most afraid of the Ming soldiers who are not afraid of death."

"Well said." Zhu Youzhu also fully affirmed Lu Wan's opinion, "Come on, come on, pour wine, I will drink a few glasses with you."

While pouring wine, Li Zhang, who was on the side, hurriedly reminded, "Your Majesty, it's still the dragon body that is more important."

"It's okay to drink a few glasses, Bingkuan, right?" Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Zhou.

Meaning, my health care doctor is still around, what's the matter with you eunuch?

Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded, "Yes."

What else can be said?

However, a few drinks are indeed not a big deal, after all, what Zhu Youzhu got is not a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, and the degree of wine in this year is indeed not good.

"There's one more thing, Bingkuan......

After drinking a few cups, Zhu Youzhu seemed to be even more talkative, and said with a smile, "Recently, there are a lot of people in the court who want to marry you, and I am still thinking about how to marry you...... Haha, the prince is not young now, you still have a daughter, I have also thought about it, if they are ...... in the future Haha, just don't say it...... Pour two more glasses."

When the emperor's, when it comes to things between children, it seems very abrupt and a little embarrassed.

This shocked Zhu Feng and Lu Wan on the side.

Is the emperor going to tell the prince about matchmaking?

Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty is right, the child is still young, so there is no hurry. Moreover...... It's a little out of line."

The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty is very polite, and he wants to choose a suitable concubine from ordinary people, and like Zhu Youji, he directly wants to marry the minister or the minister...... Obviously broke the rules set by the previous Ming Emperor.

Zhu Youzhu said as if he was proud, "I think it's very good, even if it is decided verbally first, it is not impossible! The prince is too stubborn, but ...... Don't say it, don't say it, drink and drink."

Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty, you really shouldn't drink anymore, just stop drinking."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhu Youzhu really put down his wine glass very interestingly, "By the way, Bingkuan, when is the next time you go to sea?" It is said that a ship is going to be sent out to sea from the Bohai Sea, right? If I have leisure and want to go on a patrol and go to the shore of the Bohai Sea to see it, I have always wanted to see what the sea is like, but in the description of others, I want to ask the soldiers of the voyage."

Zhang Zhou said: "If Your Majesty has the heart to go on patrol, you can take it to the court and discuss it with your ministers."

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said, "Mention it to them, they must not agree, I am just a few steps out of the capital, and I can't make a big move, in fact, it doesn't hurt to go out for a walk."

I was in the palace recently...... It's a little boring, too."

Zhang Zhouxin said that he had seen it a long time ago.

Otherwise, why do you keep running outside the palace recently?

When the emperor begins to have the intention of flying his ideals, he will not be a serious emperor...... What your son will do in the future is just to inherit your "legacy", in fact, your father and son are very similar in nature, but your experiences and encounters in the first half of your life have left you with no chance to let go of yourself.

Zhu Feng asked, "Didn't you go to sea once, and did it make sense to go to sea again?"

Lu Wan hurriedly gave Zhu Feng a look, meaning why do you talk regardless of the occasion?

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "Zhijie, you may not know that that a place overseas is really full of treasures, or if you go to sea again, you can get back millions of taels of silver alone...... This time I will send more ships out, send more soldiers out, and I have also thought about it, if someone in the governor's palace is willing to lead the troops...... I'll let you go."

Zhu Feng was worried when he heard this, and hurriedly asked for help and looked at Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty, at present, the overseas land is just a group of Fanbang people, and they do not have the strength to face the enemy head-on with our Ming army, and whoever is sent there is the same. And Anbian Hou ...... Or there may be more important tasks."

"Yes, yes." Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "Zhijie stays in the capital, so let's be dispatched at any time."
