Chapter 161 Tian Family
Another day later, Zhu Biao met with Monk Daoyan in the morning, and had a detailed chat with him about the situation in Goryeo. The conclusion he reached after studying the information about Goryeo was the same.
If you want to achieve your goal, you have to use Monk Xin Na, but it may take two years to lay a solid foundation for things to go well. While triggering a rebellion in the country, you can also attract a group of suitable candidates.
Zhu Biao is not dissatisfied with this time, and it doesn't even matter in the next few years. After all, Liaodong has not yet recovered, but it is always right to prepare early.
After the discussion, Zhu Biao asked Monk Daoyan to see Jiang Side. As for how the two talked about it, it was none of his business. Zhu Biao got up and went to the examination room, and ended the examination with Song Lian.
Afterwards, the judging of papers and other matters has nothing to do with him. It has been many years since the imperial examination was released, and it has its own set of strict judging procedures.
The scholars who finished the scientific examination were like those who came out of prison. They were exhausted physically and mentally, and they were all ready to go back to rest.
On the way back to the East Palace, Zhu Biao met the three brothers of the Zhu family who had been waiting for a long time. The second child was still smiling and approaching Zhu Biao, while the third and fourth children were chatting aside.
The three of them came here just to ask Zhu Biao what plans he has for tomorrow. Zhu Biao thought about it and remembered that tomorrow is the birthday of the second child, so he smiled and said, "Why, I want my brother to make you a bowl of longevity noodles in person?"
Zhu Xi laughed. It was heart-warming for the eldest brother to remember his birthday, and he said beside Zhu Biao, "Actually, I want to invite the eldest brother to have a meal together at the Chongyi Building tomorrow night. Then the younger brother will be fine too." Please Xu Yun respect Changmao and them."
Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing. It seemed that Zhu Xi had figured it out again. This was to let Zhu Biao meet those honorable children through his birthday, so that both parties would have to accept his favor.
If Zhu Biao didn’t go, Chang Mao, Xu Yungong and others might send some gifts to Zhu Xi, but they would never go to the prince’s banquet in person to celebrate his birthday.
Since Zhu Biao is going to take them to Shanxi, it would be great to meet them, but it is not good for Zhu Biao to invite them to the East Palace on a large scale for no reason. It is not good to invite only a few.
Zhu Biao patted Zhu Xi's shoulder and said: "Take down the Chongyi Building, it's rare to celebrate your birthday outside the palace, so let's make it lively."
Hearing this, Zhu Xi naturally agreed cheerfully. Zhu Yan and Zhu Di on the side all admired his second brother in his heart. Separated halfway.
Zhu Biao went back to the East Palace for dinner by himself. Today was another busy day, and he didn't know what the imperial dining room was doing.
On the other road, the three brothers of the Zhu family walked side by side, and the eunuchs behind them did not dare to get too close. Zhu looked at his second brother and said, "Second brother is really good at doing things. Not only the eldest brother is happy, but also the honorables outside. I have to thank you."
Zhu Xi said calmly: "It's not because of you, third son, after we finished talking in the Imperial Horse Supervisor last time, why did your little **** immediately go to the East Palace?"
Zhu Yan smiled: "Where is the second brother thinking, but the younger brother fell in love with a court lady who happened to be by Sister Yunjin's side, so naturally I have to ask the eldest brother what he means."
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head: "Interesting?
After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Biao had dinner, and then went to the inner hall to browse around. There are many rare treasures in it, and there is no shortage of calligraphy and paintings from previous dynasties. "There is also a Hetian white jade with dragon and phoenix patterns.
These two items are already extremely precious, and they are treasures brought back by Zhu Biao from above. They are treasures that cannot be measured by money in later generations, but they are nothing to Zhu Biao now.
Let Liu Jin take it away and deliver it tomorrow morning. At that time, Zhu Xi should have dinner with his mother and concubine. There is a high probability that Zhu Yuanzhang will also go. After all, Zhu Xi is also his own son, and they are so old. Mother and son are somewhat decent.
It stands to reason that Empress Ma will also give gifts, but Zhu Biao is not worried. Although his mother is frugal, she has a lot of good things in her hands. Since the two of them got married, Zhu Yuanzhang would let Empress Ma pass on all good things. , as long as she likes it too, she will definitely keep it for her.
Speaking of this, Zhu Biao thought of his decent dagger. His father said he would play for a few days, but in the end he never came back. Zhu Biao didn't even know where he hid it.
Back to the East Palace, I saw Yunjin was lecturing, and Nuanyu's younger brother Shuang'er led a large group of maids and eunuchs to listen. When Zhu Biao approached, they all turned around and saluted him.
Zhu Biao said a word of courtesy, and then ignored them, and walked directly towards the Wenhua Palace. He believed that Yunjin was doing things, and after a while, Yunjin came in with a bowl of lotus seed soup.
Zhu Biao took a few sips and asked, "What were you talking about just now, but they were lazy?"
Yun Jin said softly: "His Royal Highness's wedding is coming soon. The Crown Princess will definitely have many dowries when she enters the East Palace. There will inevitably be some friction when there are too many people. The slaves will set the rules for them first."
Zhu Biao glanced at her and said, "But my mother asked you to do it."
Yun Jin bowed slightly and didn't say anything, Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "The crown princess must be decent, and I will not allow anyone to disrespect her, but the rules of the East Palace must not be lost. Except for the big girl who is close to you, the rest will be trained by you for a few days, so that you can establish rules."
Yun Jin bowed to her promise. Although the Empress Dowager liked her, she still valued her daughter-in-law more, so she hoped that Yun Jin could manage the Eastern Palace. The prince pays more attention to the rules. The princess can be decent, but it is not so easy to take over the East Palace. Everything in the East Palace must be decided by the prince.
Zhu Biao ate another mouthful of lotus seed soup, which felt very soft and sweet. Chang Luohua is about to marry in. To be honest, the closer the marriage is, the more irritable Zhu Biao becomes, and he always feels that troubles will arise.
He has no shortage of women, and it will not make any difference if there is one more crown princess, but the crown princess is the hostess of the Eastern Palace after all, and she is at the same level as him in a certain level, but she feels inexplicably that her power will be divided up.
Now Zhu Biao suddenly feels that he is so ruthless. He is not willing to be separated from the rights of a mere East Palace, let alone in the future. If he has a son, will he grow up gradually?
Zhu Biao suddenly began to admire his father from the bottom of his heart. Zhu Biao is now gradually accepting Zhu Yuanzhang's power, but Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not reject the suppression, but let him ask for it with an open mind.
Zhu Biao's face turned black, he deeply doubted whether he could treat his son like this in the future, could he dedicate himself to him so generously?
There is no father and son in the heavenly family, this is the truth since ancient times.
