"In three months, the thirteenth daughter-in-law will also give birth, and when his Liaodong affairs are finished, you can let him come back!"

"Over there in Jinling, you can't delay if you go late!"

When the queen said these words, she simply missed her son, because strictly speaking, she only had this one son, and of course the same was true for the emperor.

"It's up to you!" The Emperor replied.

When the emperor and queen enjoyed the leisure of the village, the prince, who had just returned to the East Palace, met with the eunuchs sent by the emperor.

Knowing that Lao Thirteen interfered in the affairs of North Korea, and his methods were even more domineering and arrogant, but he was agreed by the emperor, Zhu Jingyuan knew that he had lost.

But he knew that in the face of such a situation, he could only lose this way, unless he completely rejected the opinions of the civil officials.

He can suppress the opinions put forward by the six ministers and the nine secretaries, and he must give them proper respect, and he really doesn't want to offend these people.

After the eunuch who passed the message left, Zhu Jingyuan threw the Zhang Song he had taken back to the ground, and said angrily: "Improve...... How else can I improve! ”

"Thirteenth brother, you are too embarrassing for me......"

For the first time, Zhu Jingyuan had a grudge against Zhu Jinghong.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Chun walked in.

"In the matter of North Korea, my father had already allowed me to play, but who knew that the thirteenth brother also played a game, so that my father also allowed his method, and let me improve the strategy I played!"

"I know that it must have been the queen mother's intercession, and my father saved me face, so he didn't directly reject my countermeasures!"

Seeing the prince's extreme loss, Yuan Chun leaned over to him, and then said, "Don't worry...... You have always been the prince, although the old thirteen has some ability, but he can't threaten you! ”

"Alas......"

The crown prince sighed, he was grateful for Yuan Chun's encouragement, but understood that these words were meaningless.

After a few breaths of silence, I heard Yuan Chun say: "Your Majesty has asked you to reconsider the countermeasures, why don't you directly praise the thirteenth brother, one shows that you love your brothers, and the other is to let the thirteenth brother accept your affection, and the third can also take the opportunity to withdraw!" ”

Yuan Chun's words made Zhu Jingyuan feel suddenly enlightened, so much so that he stood up excitedly and hugged his wife directly into his arms.

Feeling the prince's love, Yuan Chun only felt that this life was enough, so he continued: "The most important thing for Your Highness is to prevent the sixth child, and the second is to stabilize the court!" ”

"I know that!"

"Since His Highness knows, the concubines won't bother!" Yuan Chun responded with a smile.

Zhu Jingyuan also smiled, and then said, "I'll talk to you later!" ”

After Yuan Chun retreated, Zhu Jingyuan picked up the pen and began to write, this time he did not plan to discuss with anyone.

When he finished writing, he immediately ordered the letter to be sent to the palace, and the emperor received the chapter at dinner.

The prince praised Zhu Jinghong and gave up the errand, which made Zhu Xianming look up to him a little, so he was in a better mood.

agreed to Zhu Jinghong's holy decree to deal with Korean affairs, and ran for 12 days before arriving in Jinzhou.

July 15 is the Midyear Festival.

In the inner house of the Xue Mansion, Zhu Jinghong was sitting in the shade of the courtyard tree, listening to Zhang Xiaoyue singing softly.

On her left and right, Zhen Qin and Nuo Min took their seats separately, listening and waiting for Zhu Jinghong to eat and drink.

Although it was a beautiful woman on the side, Zhu Jinghong was not very happy, just because Baoqin didn't come over today.

That girl is extremely beautiful, and she is very eye-catching when she stays around, and now she is not there, which makes Zhu Jinghong miss her.

He has been in Jinzhou for a long time, and the Jinling Sailor has basically finished understanding, and he can leave at any time now, and now he is waiting for news.

Fortunately, today, Baoqin did not disappoint him, and after Zhang Xiaoyue finished singing, she jumped into the inner house.

Before Zhu Jinghong could say hello, he heard Nuo Min shouting: "Sister Qin, you're late today!" ”

Zhen Qin also has the word "qin" in his name, so Nuo Min looked at Zhen Qin at this time, with a sense of banter in his expression.

Zhen Qin knew that the other party wanted to provoke herself and let herself lose points in front of Zhu Jinghong, so she would never be fooled.

"My good sister, you can be counted as coming, the king is busy with official business, and I don't even have someone to talk to when you are not there!" Zhen Qin actually got up to greet him.

Nuo Min snorted coldly, and did not get up to greet him like Zhen Qin, but took the initiative to hand Zhu Jinghong a petal of oranges.

"Today is the Midyear Festival, and the family has to sacrifice to the ancestors, so the time is delayed, my sister must not blame!" Bao Qin replied bluntly.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong waved his hand several times, and Baoqin left Zhen Qin to greet him.

"Brother-in-law...... Do you have something to command? ”

"I can't call you over if it's okay?" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.

According to the words, he came to Zhu Jinghong, and Baoqin said; "Brother-in-law...... You know everything, I have something to ask you!! ”

"You say!"

"They all say that the Midyear Festival is a ghost festival, are there really ghosts in this world?" Bao Qin looked curious.

Zhu Jinghong wanted to answer directly, but as soon as he thought of his crossing, he swallowed back the answer that came to his mouth.

"I don't know!" Zhu Jinghong replied frankly.

"To know is to know, and not to know is not to know...... Brother-in-law, you are so frank that you don't know it, this is a virtue that only a saint has! Baoqin couldn't help but praise.

In the past half a month, Zhu Jinghong's profound and extensive knowledge has indeed left a deep impression on Baoqin.

So in her heart, in addition to being handsome and brave, Zhu Jinghong also has a first-class broadness.

To be honest, in the little girl's heart, she now admires her brother-in-law.

"Girl...... How can a person like me, who does not learn and have no skills, be a saint! ”

At this time, Zhen Qin also interjected: "Lord Wang, you have a noble character, and you are a saint-like character!" ”

Seeing that these two people were complimenting themselves, Zhu Jinghong immediately asked, "Who is the beauty of me and Duke Xu in the north of the city?" ”

Whether it is Zhen Qin or Baoqin, or even Nuo Min from the grassland, they all know the story of "Xu Gong in the north of the city".

In this situation, Zhu Jinghong asked such a sentence, don't let the few people present smile, only Zhang Xiaoyue didn't understand the meaning for a while.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoyue found her own positioning, and she has been serving Zhu Jinghong well, and she has been fully affirmed, so she is not panicking.

Just as Zhu Jinghong was chatting with a few girls, the emperor's decree arrived, so Zhu Jinghong and others had to greet him immediately.

After the eunuch read out the will, although Zhu Jinghong was not shocked on his face, he was actually happy in his heart.

He finally has a legitimate reason to continue to rely on the Liaodong side, instead of becoming a pawn of the old four and the old six.

After receiving the order, Zhu Jinghong immediately instructed Zhang Lin to let him go to the Liaodong Capital Division and dig up the elites of each guard.

He planned to invite the king of Korea to the banquet, so naturally he had to prepare for his life before he could continue to do his own thing.

"You guys, I've got something to do...... Let's take my leave! ”

Zhu Jinghong left, and the remaining women didn't have any common language, so they left separately after being polite to each other.

Baoqin is different, she is more bold, and she actually entered Zhu Jinghong's study.

Then she saw that Zhu Jinghong was frowning and thinking.

"Brother-in-law...... What do you want? Bao Qin took the initiative to ask.

Originally, Zhu Jinghong was very uncomfortable scratching his ears and cheeks, but Baoqin came to relieve his symptoms, after all, beauties are always pleasing to the eye.

"I wanted to write a letter, but I didn't know how to write it!"

"What letter to write?"

"Invitation to the feast!"

Bao Qin was already thinking hard and asked, "Who are you going to invite?" ”

Zhu Jinghong replied: "King of Joseon, Li Shuo! ”

"Ah......h

She didn't expect that Zhu Jinghong would invite such a big person, after all, North Korea has such a large area, and Li Shuo is the owner of that land.

But Baoqin thought about it, his brother-in-law was the Prince of Daming, and inviting a Korean king to the banquet was definitely not an insult.

Getting up from the chair, Zhu Jinghong walked up to Baoqin and said, "Since you are here, write a letter for me, just say that I have a national treasure of the Ming Dynasty, and I want to invite the lord of North Korea to watch it!" ”

"A national treasure? What is a national treasure? This is where Baoqin's attention is.

After straightening the hairpin in Baoqin's hair, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "You will know when the time comes, hurry up and write a letter for me!" ”

The two were so close to each other that it really made Baoqin's heart flutter, so she immediately replied, "I'm going to write a letter!" ”

Then she twisted her waist and spread out in front of Zhu Jinghong, bringing a fragrance to the back of the bookcase, and then took the pen and dipped it in ink to write.

The letter was quickly written, and Zhu Jinghong assigned Yu Hai to deliver the letter, and Chen Yuntai led the team to escort him to North Korea.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and early in the morning, Zhu Jinghong sat in the study, drinking tea and reading the latest newspaper.

At this time, he knew that the fourth child recommended himself to dispose of North Korea, and the situation in the northwest was becoming more and more anxious, and it turned out that the sixth child had already made so much money in Jinling......

The newspaper is rich in content, which allows readers to quickly understand the major policies of the imperial court, and scholars and officials basically have it.

"Lord Wang, there are guests visiting outside, all of them are Jurchens!"

"Jurchen?" Zhu Jinghong became more and more.

"Who are they?"

"Ye He Mingen of the Yehe Ministry, and the ...... of the Washing Ministry"

Listening to the eunuch's introduction, Zhu Jinghong found that these were old acquaintances, so he ordered: "Let them wait in the outer study!" ”

"Yes!"

And Zhu Jinghong got up and walked to the outer study after reading the newspaper.

Ye He Mingen and these people have grown up on horseback since they were children, and they all have a bit of a strong temperament.

The girls who were waiting in the room were all far away, for fear of being touched by these spittle.

In this way, Ye Hemingen and the others shouted loudly for more than ten minutes before Zhu Jinghong appeared outside the door of the outer study.

At this time, at the door, Zhu Jinghong was holding a pair of hands behind his back, and his eyes were deep and serious.

As the first person in the house spotted him, the noise at the scene came to an abrupt end.

If the Jurchens are fierce beasts, then Zhu Jinghong is the Arhat who subdues the dragon and the tiger, and he only needs to dedicate himself to escape when he is young.

"Lord Wang...... It's time to see you! ”

This step was still preempted by Ye Hemingen, and then the others came over to greet him.

"Knock on the prince!"

"Lord Wang, we have finally found you!"

Yehe Mingen came from the Jurchen Yehe Division, and the rest of the people were from the Haixi Division, the Hada Division, and the Sukesu Protectorate Division......

In the previous Northwest War, all these tribes sent troops, and they made a lot of money in a big battle, so they were all grateful to Zhu Jinghong.

So when they learned that Zhu Jinghong came to Liaodong, these people were connected together, just to make a special trip to meet him.

Motioning for everyone to get up, Zhu Jinghong walked to the house and said, "Why are you here, don't you plan to go to the northwest this year?" Looks like you've made enough money! ”

"Lord Wang, there is enough money to be made there, but now that the war situation in the northwest is unfavorable, the ministers have not sent troops for the time being!"

Just kidding, everyone is trying to win the battle and make money, not to spill blood on the head, Ye Hemingen answered very directly.

Zhu Jinghong didn't delve into this, because he already had his own ideas and needed to use these people in front of him.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Since you're here, why not play for a few more days, there will be distinguished guests to come, and there will be good things for you to see! ”

"The distinguished guest?" Ye Hemingen couldn't help but ask.

"You'll know when the time comes!"

Without waiting for Ye Heming to ask more, Zhu Jinghong opened his mouth first: "Now how many troops can you pull out of your various departments?" ”

"Right now, your departments, is there a shortage of food this winter?"

Although he didn't know what Zhu Jinghong was selling, his concern for everyone was realized, so they patted their chests to show their loyalty, and were willing to follow Zhu Jinghong to the northwest again.

So the chat developed to the end, and it became a memorial moment for these people, and everyone was talking about last year's Northwest War, and how tragic their own war was.

Of course, in the process of bragging, everyone inevitably praised Zhu Jinghong, and bluntly said that he was victorious.

Sure enough, it is the hearts of the people, and even the foreign feudal clans think so, so it can be seen how wise and martial I should be among the Beijing camp and the guards and pro-army......

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong felt more and more comfortable, and he had a little more confidence in the future.

Besides, Yu Hai's side, after seven days of travel, they finally arrived in Seoul, which is the capital of North Korea.

"This country is really too poor, and the capital is like this...... The people are only afraid of ......"

Hearing Yu Hai's complaint, Chen Yuntai, who was sitting opposite him, said: "North Korea is a small country, and it is not as rich as my Ming Land, so the national strength is so weak!" ”

"I'm going to go straight to the palace in a moment?" Yu Hai asked.

Chen Yuntai replied: "Show your waist card and identity, they won't embarrass us!" ”

Don't look at his serious answer, in fact, he hasn't tried it, and he doesn't know if the North Koreans recognize it.

Soon they stopped at the gate of the palace, and they were driven away by the guards who had arrived.

"We are the messengers of the Ming Dynasty!" Chen Yuntai scolded angrily and showed his waist card.

North Koreans may not be able to speak Chinese, but the men basically know everything, so they recognize the words "Jinyiwei" and "Beizhen Fusi".

Even abroad, these guards know what it means to be in Jinyi Weibei Town.

But first, they want to confirm the authenticity of the waist card, so they put the waist card on it and let their boss decide.

So, Chen Yuntai and Yu Hai waited at the gate of the palace for a quarter of an hour before they saw a North Korean official appear.

"It is really ......a sin for us to be lazy when the envoys of the Celestial Empire are coming," the North Korean official was extremely humble.
