The generals looked at Zhu Bai quietly, their eyes red: "Little prince, you are so kind to us."
Only you are thinking of us all the time.
Lao Zhu thought for a while: "Okay, Zhongshu will save you the trouble of drawing up a list of rewards for us. Including the wives of meritorious officials and those who have been awarded imperial orders, hand them in as well."
Wang Guangyang hurriedly came out: "I obey the order."
The military generals were not happy now.
If Zhongshu Province comes up with the list, then Hu Weiyong has the final say.
How could Hu Weiyong, that treacherous and sycophant, work with his conscience? He must be someone who has a good relationship with him and wrote about him.
They can only fight tooth and nail here and there is no chance.
Lao Zhu thought for a while and said to Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao: "You two, each draw up a list to avoid omissions from the Ministry of Education."
The military generals were overjoyed again: Not bad, not bad. Lao Zhu was indeed very discerning and had set up a line of defense to prevent Hu Weiyong from making random mistakes.
Gee, this ups and downs, great sorrows and great joys is really exciting.
-----
After the court was over, Chang Mao was waiting for Zhu Biao.
Chang Mao is the eldest son of Chang Yuchun.
Chang Yuchun was loyal to Lao Zhu, and he was outspoken and outspoken. He died of exhaustion on the battlefield.
His apprentice, his wife and younger brother Lan Yu, were brought up under his tutelage and are very similar to his style.
Lao Zhu was very sad that Chang Yuchun died young despite his outstanding military exploits, so he let Chang Maoyin's father be promoted to the title of Zheng Guogong.
He also pointed out Feng Sheng's eldest daughter to Chang Mao as his wife, which was worthy of Chang Yuchun.
Although Chang Mao was not a very good person, Zhu Biao was still very polite to Chang Mao because he was his younger brother and brother-in-law.
Chang Mao saluted Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, I would like to ask for a favor from Your Highness."
Zhu Biao asked: "Well, tell me."
Chang Mao said: "I beg Your Highness to put Wei Chen's biological mother on the list for this imperial conferment."
Zhu Biao frowned slightly and said nothing.
Chang Yuchun's first wife, Lan Shi, has been given the title of First Grade Lady Kaiping.
Unless Chang Mao made this request based on his outstanding military exploits, it is normal and reasonable.
But Chang Mao did not have any military merit.
Otherwise, if a concubine was granted a royal title for no reason, how could the other wives be embarrassed?
Zhu Biao said: "Brother Chang Mao, the time has not come yet. Don't be anxious. Let's wait until you have achieved military exploits."
Chang Mao choked up and his face turned red from holding it back: If I had military merit, why would I come to beg you?!
Since he was a child, he has been treated as a inferior person at home because he is a commoner. When he goes out, he is often laughed at by Deng Zhen, Xu Zuhui and others.
Although he later became Zheng Guogong, he still felt that he could not hold his head high.
If the biological mother was given the title of Madam, it would be equivalent to the emperor setting her straight.
Then he will be a direct descendant from now on.
Chang Mao wanted to talk, but Zhu Biao smiled and left.
He didn't dare to get entangled, after all, Zhu Biao's identity was there.
What should I do? If I miss this time, I don’t know when it will be.
Looking for the Crown Princess?
No, don't say you can't see her.
Even if she saw him, the Crown Princess would not pay attention to him.
His legitimate sister had looked down on him since she was a child, and if she heard that he was asking for a title for his concubine's birth mother, she would definitely ignore him.
Chang Mao left the palace full of worries and saw Zhu Bai riding away on horseback.
I think I went to the Guanya Bureau.
Oh, by the way, Zhu Bai also has this right.
This child should be easier to talk to.
Chang Mao thought so and immediately asked someone to lead the horse and went to the Guanya Bureau.
Zhu Bai had just sat down at the Guanya Bureau, and Fugui came to report that Chang Mao wanted to see him.
Zhu Bai tilted his head and thought for a moment: Chang Mao neither engages in business nor leads an army. He has almost no dealings with Chang Mao, so why would he suddenly come to see him?
"Tell him to come up."
Zhu Bai raised his chin.
Chang Mao came in and bowed deeply: "Your Highness."
Zhu Bai: "What's the matter with Mr. Chang?"
Chang Mao: "Wei Chen came to ask for a royal decree for my mother."
Zhu Bai suddenly understood, but frowned: "Father, my father sealed Mrs. Kaiping before I was born."
Chang Mao: "She is my biological mother."
Zhu Bai tilted his head: "Isn't your biological mother Mrs. Kaiping?"
Chang Mao blushed, and after a while he said, "Yes."
Zhu Bai shook his head: "I am completely confused."
Doesn't this force him to admit that he is a concubine?
Chang Mao's heart was racing, and he could only grit his teeth and say: "Weichen's biological mother was originally the concubine of Weichen's father."
Zhu Bai asked Zhang Yu: "Master Zhang, I am young and don't understand very well. Please tell me the rules of this imperial conferment."
Zhang Yu and Chang Mao couldn't help but scold their mothers secretly together.
"Little slippery man, how could you not know? I just didn't want to refuse in person and offend others, so I asked Zhang Yu to speak up."
"You little naughty boy, you asked me to be the bad guy again."
Zhang Yu cupped his hands and said, "The rules of this dynasty state that the family members of meritorious officials are rewarded, and only the mother and head wife are rewarded."
Zhu Bai spread his hands and said, "Oh, Mr. Chang, you have heard it all. I am young and soft-spoken, so I can't help you. Maybe Mr. Chang will make a memorial himself. Maybe my father will agree."
I can't even pass your test, let alone the cunning and stingy Lao Zhu.
Chang Mao didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only blush and cupped his hands angrily: "That's it, forget it. I'm bothering Your Highness."
Zhu Bai smiled and waved: "It's good to go, but I won't send you off."
He came down from upstairs and saw Zhu Cat planting things by the flower bed, and his heart moved.
Speaking of which, he and this silly prince are brothers-in-law.
Zhu Rui also wanted to call him brother-in-law.
How about asking Zhu Xi to ask Lao Zhu?
Lao Zhu has always preferred Zhu Xi, so he might agree.
Chang Mao walked over and saluted Zhu Xi: "Your Highness."
Zhu Zhu turned around, with fallen leaves hanging on his head and mud on his face. He stared at Chang Mao for a while before saying, "Oh, it's Mr. Chang."
His mind was just thinking hard about why this person suddenly came to talk to me, and then he finally figured out the relationship.
This is Feng Qingqing’s brother-in-law!!
Anyone who has anything to do with Feng Qingqing should be careful!!
Otherwise Feng Qingqing will file a complaint.
Chang Mao said: "Your Highness, do you have time? I would like to invite Your Highness to have tea and sit down and talk about something."
Zhu Ru said: "I don't have time, I want to grow vegetables."
Chang Mao choked up: Damn, why is it harder for this idiot to communicate than normal people? If he wasn't the prince, I would want to grab him and slap him hard right now.
Zhu Ru said: "Is everything okay? If nothing happens, I will continue planting vegetables."
Chang Mao said hurriedly: "I have something to ask of Your Highness."
Zhu Ting couldn't bear to hear anyone begging him the most, so he asked: "What's the matter, as long as I can help."
Chang Mao said: "The emperor wants to reward the meritorious officials and their families this time. I want to ask for a reward for my biological mother."
Zhu Rui looked confused: "Ah, then go and invite me."
You want to ask for a title for your own mother, why are you looking for me?
Chang Mao: "The emperor requires King Xiang and His Highness to hand over the list of awards."
Zhu Zhu nodded: "Ang."
Chang Mao: "Wei Chen would like to ask Your Highness to help Wei Chen ask for a favor from the emperor for the sake of our brother-in-law."
Zhu Zhu shook his head: "I can't ask for it. I can't see my father at all. Unless my father calls me."
