Chapter 609 Family Bliss
Zhu Biao has been thinking about this matter not only for a day or two, but also for more than one or two years.
Not only the actual expansion of the territory, Zhu Biao pays more attention to the spread of culture and the accompanying cultural identity. The Ming Dynasty may perish with the times in the future, but the influence of Chinese culture on the world will last forever.
This is a very good era. Most regions are still under the shadow of religion, and the light of their own civilization and thought has not yet bloomed.
Even if the so-called Renaissance is just a sign, the church is still the spiritual pillar of the society, with a strict hierarchy, and God is regarded as the absolute authority. Everything in literature, art, and philosophy must follow the teachings of the Bible. No one can violate it.
The dark Middle Ages in Europe is not a lie. As for Africa and the United States, there is no hope at all. They stick to the traditional belief in the gods of nature, the advanced ideological system of the Ming Dynasty, and farming and metallurgy technology. They are irresistible.
With the world's largest naval fleet, Da Ming can actually do far more than Zhu Biao imagined. As long as he opens his mouth and gives examples, the Chinese people who are full of martial arts and eager for land will naturally be able to do so. Carry on the past.
Just look at Zhu Di, who would not want a man alive to seal off the borders and say that he is a widow and his surname is passed down to the country. In the past, there was no chance and no hope, but now it is different.
The dignified princes and princes are all like this, so what about the gentry and common people below, don’t you hear that princes and generals have kindness?
Zhu Di got up and bowed down: "My brother is willing to be the sword in the hands of the emperor, and open up the territory for my Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Biao leaned over to help him up and said, "Leave in three days, just bring a few confidantes with you. Remember, the most important thing is to protect yourself when things don't go right. The emperor also misses you."
"The younger brother understands."
Zhu Di bowed and retreated, and Zhu Biao also took back his thoughts. Although his father didn't say anything about this matter, he knew that Lao Zhu didn't want any accidents for his sons. Although the fourth son was not him from the beginning to the end A beloved son, but still his son.
A few days ago, Zhu Biao had dispatched hundreds of elite military guards to set off first, together with the spies of the pro-military captain's mansion who were hiding under the command of Goryeo and Nahachu, they ensured that Zhu Di could return with his life no matter what happened. to Daming.
This is the worst preparation, and it should not be the case. After all, Naha has already surrendered, and the failure to make military achievements can only be caused by Zhu Di's lack of greed. If it really reaches that point, Zhu Di will also be out. It was because of Lao Zhu's face that he was saved.
Zhu Biao is unwilling to give others too many chances. If he can’t grasp it, no wonder others are born. Prince Zhu is constantly born in the palace, and he also has two sons under his knees. There are really not many opportunities, especially such a good one. .
Zhu Biao took the new tea from Fugui and asked casually: "How is Liu Jin these days?"
The smile on Fugui's face froze, but he immediately replied with a smile: "Eunuch Liu sweeps the fallen leaves and flowers in the back garden every day, and occasionally goes to the warehouse to check and reconcile accounts."
Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and asked, "You should have the key to the warehouse of the East Palace. Did Liu Jin not give it to you?"
Fugui hurriedly said: "Eunuch Liu was going to hand over the key to the servant earlier, but the servant insisted on confiscating it."
Zhu Biao fixedly stared at him for a while, and sweat dripped from Fugui's forehead before he said, "You can be called wise and stupid, and you are really blessed."
Fugui immediately knelt down and raised his head and said: "This servant is stupid, but I also know that the blessings of this servant are all rewarded by the Lord."
"It's not a problem to hang around in the East Palace all the time. The Zhonggu Division lacks a chief eunuch. You can go."
Fugui burst into tears and said: "The slaves can no longer serve the master, the master must take care of the body of the country."
"Go and do your duty."
With the increase of court ladies and eunuchs, the original powers and duties of eunuchs and female officials were somewhat scattered. Empress Ma pulled Chang Luohua and several high-ranking concubines to agree to divide the powers and duties in the palace.
There are six bureaus and one department for female officials, and four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve supervisors for eunuchs. The bell and drum division is newly established. The palace is promoted to accept.
The power and position of the bell and drum division has been rising, and there is nothing to talk about, but it is different to directly serve as the chief eunuch. In the future, the **** in charge can only be transferred to other internal officials.
Fugui has served Fugui wholeheartedly for so long, so Zhu Biao will naturally not treat him badly. There are not many eunuchs available around Lao Zhu, so Zhu Biao can reserve a few vacant positions.
The emperor is about to leave Beijing for a tour of the north, Zhu Biao will soon re-enter the court, and the affairs of the palace will not be taken care of, so it is time to call Liu Jin back. It's almost gone, so I can't really wait for Liu Jin to have no one under his command before calling him back.
Zhu Biao flipped through the book, and the cup of tea that he hadn't drunk had changed from steaming hot to only lukewarm. Following a burst of familiar footsteps, another new cup of tea was brought to the prince.
Zhu Biao put down the book and looked at the familiar figure in front of him who seemed to have lost weight, but said nothing. He took a sip of hot tea, then put it aside and continued to read the book.
Liu Jin got up naturally and took down the old tea at the side, then came back and quietly packed up some messy books, and put them in the place where they should be stored, just like in the past.
There was no movement in the Wenhua Palace, and the same was true in the East Palace. Most of the maids heard about it and there was no surprise. Liu Jin has been in charge of the East Palace for many years. After Fugui Fuduo came to power, no one was moved, because everyone knew it in their hearts.
In the evening, someone from Kunning Palace invited the prince and concubine to have a meal. Naturally, the mother and the queen summoned her to be the minister, so there was no room for refusal, and the two went over with the child in their arms.
The palace in the evening is a bit dark. A few days ago, Empress Tianma ordered the palace to be diligent and frugal with candles and candles. Except for the Jinshen Palace and Wenhua Palace, the rest of the palaces should not be wasted if there are no important things.
The empress's edict was so kind, no one dared to disobey it. Even Chang Luohua only lit a pair of candles at night, and the rest of the concubines were even more cautious.
After stepping into the Kunning Palace, they found that Lao Zhu was also there. Zhu Biao and Chang Luohua bowed down to say hello, not only saluting themselves, but also had to say hello to the emperor's grandfather and grandmother for the two who couldn't speak.
Lao Zhu was happy to see the two white, fat and ignorant grandchildren, and said a few words of excuses cheerfully, then stood up from the seat and walked in front of his son and daughter-in-law. The young grandson of Li.
It’s all about snatching the son, and naturally there is no reason to reach out to the daughter-in-law directly. Empress Ma reluctantly stepped forward to take Liang’er and handed it to her husband, annoyed: “You took all of them away, and I don’t know how to make me want one.”
"Hahaha, good girl, it's been a long time since we hugged, I'll let you hug me in a while."
"Hey, our big grandson is getting stronger again!"
"Chonghachi, be careful, don't fall the child..."
Family happiness is like this, Zhu Biao took Chang Luohua to sit aside, watching his father, emperor and queen mother teasing the two little ones, feeling comfortable and peaceful.
Lao Zhu was not willing to let go until the dinner was served, and the family began to eat. The rule set by Empress Ma at this kind of family banquet is that one can talk, but those who want to talk must swallow the food in their mouths and put down their chopsticks. Can speak.
Old Zhu eats a lot and concentrates on cooking, so Zhu Biao naturally has to tell some interesting things, so as to entertain his parents and comfort his wife and children. Even though the lights are dim, the dinner is enjoyable.
After eating and rinsing his mouth, he sat down again. The two children also drank milk and fell asleep, so they placed them directly on the collapsed floor. It is estimated that Lao Zhu felt that he was reluctant to leave Beijing for a tour, so he looked at the two grandchildren with his arms up. With a sleeping face, from time to time, she gently scratched her delicate cheeks with her fingers.
Zhu Biao really wanted to let his father take these two little guys away, but Chang Luohua and Queen Ma couldn't rest assured, it was cold and windy in the north, so it would not be a joke if they got wind and cold, how could the two little ones compare with each other? Their grandfather was made of iron.
