Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was actually similar to Zhu Biao's, and he didn't expect them to change for the better. He could just ask the imperial censor to report for impeachment. He had a lot of national affairs in one day, and he still had to watch the reports of their troubles...
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his son and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Biao'er is still sensible, so this will help us get rid of all those dog-like things.
The three Zhu brothers on the side naturally saw this scene. Although the three of them still had smiles on their faces, there was still a hint of sadness hidden in their eyes.
They are both the biological sons of their father, but the treatment between them and their eldest brother is completely different. Why? Just because the eldest brother was born a few years earlier than them?
Although Zhu Biao did not look back, he could still think of the resentment in the hearts of the three brothers behind him.
No one would think that they are inherently inferior to others, especially a creature like a prince. In their eyes, Zhu Biao may be so dazzling because he received the best training and was favored by his father.
.
The most unhappy person here is probably Zhu Chong. He is only one year younger than Zhu Biao, a few months to be exact, but one is destined to be the king and the other is the minister.
As for Zhu Fan, it was okay. After all, there was Zhu Chong even if he was older than Zhu Biao, not to mention his abilities. The three brothers were often together, and naturally they knew that although the fourth brother didn't talk much, he knew everything very well.
Zhu Di's mood was very complicated. He had three older brothers, and he knew in his heart that he was stronger than the second and third eldest brother, but compared with his unfathomable eldest brother, he was still too young.
Generally speaking, although the three brothers were envious of their elder brother, they were still convinced in their hearts. This is why they went to Zhu Biao's side whenever they had the opportunity. But no matter what, they faced the scene of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's father and son's deep love.
, I still feel aggrieved in my heart.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang himself, he may not have much feeling. The preference of parents for their children is subconscious. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that he was very good to his children. He did not let them starve or freeze, and even hired teachers to teach them.
It's a pity that there is no harm in feelings without comparison. Zhu Biao didn't bother to stimulate his brothers and left after saying a few words to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The three brothers of the Zhu family also returned to normal and followed their eldest brother happily. Zhu Biao saw that today's work was almost done and he had not moved his body for a long time, so he led them to the Royal Horse Guards to ride horses and shoot arrows.
Their respective horses were also kept here, with special eunuchs taking care of them. The four brothers rode horses and ran twice. The weather was hot now, and the horses were a little irritable after the run, so they simply bathed and brushed the horses.
They have done these things before, but most of the time they have others do it for them. Zhu Biao is in a good mood today. His horse was with him on the Northern Expedition. Zhu Biao is also nostalgic for the old days. He can see it shaking its head and wagging its tail happily.
Zhu Biao also felt very happy when he rubbed the big head against himself.
Liu Jin stood aside and held hands with the little eunuch who had bumped into Zhu Biao and held the reins tightly, fearing that it would suddenly hit the Crown Prince.
The three brothers on the other side are much more skilled than Zhu Biao, which shows that they often come to take care of their BMW.
Zhu Biao looked at the two eunuchs beside him and suddenly remembered Zheng He, the most successful and famous eunuch in the Ming Dynasty. He knew about Zheng He's voyages to the West, but he didn't know what Zheng He's current name was or where he was born.
But I remember that he was a prisoner captured from Yunnan, castrated and sent to the palace, and finally served in Zhu Di's mansion. That was very early.
The situation in Yunnan is complicated. The separatist forces entrenched in Yunnan mainly include the Liang King of the late Yuan Dynasty and the Tuan clan. The Liang King took Kunming as the center of his rule and still obeyed the orders of the Northern Yuan Dynasty when the Northern Yuan Dynasty still existed.
Ever since Bei Yuan was overthrown by Zhu Biao, this person had relied on geographical advantages to resist one side. It was not like Zhu Yuanzhang had never sent people to recruit people to surrender, but the result was that they never returned.
The Tuan clan, the Tuan clan, controls the Dali area, which was once directly under the jurisdiction of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but is now in a semi-independent state. Armed conflicts have occurred from time to time with the Liang King's regime, and their attitude towards the Ming Dynasty is ambiguous, but they have not shown too much closeness.
The ethnic structure of Yunnan is chaotic, there are many independent villages, and the mountains and rivers are steep and densely covered with jungles. It is definitely not worth the Ming Dynasty's energy to conquer.
However, Yunnan is rich in copper and silver mines, which are necessary resources for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Biao will definitely be able to plan in a few years, but it is not possible now.
Next year, we will first capture Mingxia, which is under the separate rule of Bashu. The land of Bashu is known as the land of abundance. The soil is fertile and very suitable for growing crops. Food is the most urgent need of the Ming Dynasty. As long as there is enough food, most of Zhu Biao's goals can be completed.
What's more, the salt production in the Bashu land is also very impressive, so Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's next target is him. Nothing can stop the Ming Dynasty from taking this treasure land.
Zhu Yuanzhang has already won over some people within Ming Xia. As soon as the army arrives, just like Liu Bei took over the land of Shu, he will have people to offer the gate and the city.
This is also an opportunity for Tang He to return to the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty. It is enough to win the title of Duke of Bashu, and Tang He will be satisfied. This is also the tacit understanding between the two families.
After all, Tang He was Zhu Yuanzhang's old brother, and could even be said to be the one who led Zhu Yuanzhang on this road, so he had his own friendship.
So there will be another war next year, and after the war, this year's grain reserves will be gone again, and the matter in Yunnan will have to be postponed. After all, his priority is not high.
After capturing Bashu, Ming Dynasty's main goal was the Liaodong region and the control of coastal Japanese pirates. It would not launch a large-scale war in the short term.
Zhu Biao thought about it silently for a while, and suddenly found that he had only brushed one area at the moment. It was obvious that the hair in this area was much thinner than next to it.
Although Liu Jin and the others saw Zhu Biao dazed, they did not dare to disturb Zhu Biao's thoughts, so they could only feel sorry for the horses.
Zhu Biao smiled and touched the snow horse's head: "I'll add some food to it tonight."
Zhu Biao greeted the three brothers and went to the East Palace. Tomorrow he would meet with Jiang Side to arrange things in Korea, and the day after tomorrow he would watch the imperial examination.
After Zhu Biao left, the three brothers no longer had the intention to serve the BMW. They waved away the eunuchs and walked around casually in the yard.
No one spoke at first. After walking around for two full times, Zhu Xiang said, "If there is nothing else to say, I will go back to the house."
Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "What can I say? Let's let it go."
Zhu Fan put his arms around their shoulders and said, "Okay, there's nothing we can't say here just the three of us."
Zhu Fang smiled and said: "It's not your turn anyway, so of course it doesn't matter to you."
Zhu Fan said: "I don't have the ambition of you two. If you two discuss the matter of becoming a king, then let's talk about it. The eldest brother has promised to reduce the vassal. If you two want to talk about eldest brother's position, then goodbye
.”
Zhu Di said indifferently: "If you two are princes, then I will give it a try, but I will accept the eldest brother's position."
