Chapter 448: Husband and wife's secret discussion
While Zhu Jinghong was thinking, the emperor himself continued to speak. He stopped when he saw that Zhu Jinghong didn't respond.
"Did you hear what I told you?"
"Yes"
After coming back to his senses, Zhu Jinghong said again, "Dad, let alone mother. "Whether you allow your son to go or not, you can always agree to it"
"Why are you following me to join in the fun?"
"Dad, the North Four Guards are the new trainees trained under the leadership of my son." Army, you have to see with your own eyes whether they can beat their son, and if there are any shortcomings, they can be improved." Zhu Jinghong had thought about these words in advance, so it was very smooth to say them.
A prince got involved in the Northwest War and got mixed up with a group of military generals. It was very taboo to have the "jewels first" of this dynasty.
So Zhu Jinghong paid special attention to this point, and was extremely cautious when speaking at this time, emphasizing that he went to the northwest mainly to watch the battle.
However, in fact, the emperor himself did not think that deeply. This is also due to Zhu Jinghong's good establishment.
Different from Zhu Jinghong who looked relaxed but was actually prepared for the situation, the emperor in the sedan still looked calm at this moment and asked slowly, "You, a child, should not interfere in military and national affairs."
Even though Zhu Jinghong had fought in battles, even if he had trained strong soldiers, even if he had established a royal palace, he was still a child in Zhu Xianming's eyes.
This is the benefit of establishing a character. As long as the emperor has a character in his mind, he will think about his motives and stance based on the character he created.
Of course, it is extremely difficult in reality to make Zhu Xianming completely trust someone.
Zhu Jinghong was able to succeed not only because he had been as reckless as ever for more than ten years including his predecessor, but also because he was the youngest son of the emperor and empress.
This kind of experience cannot be replicated at all, so he became the only person trusted by the emperor.
"Dad, my son is seventeen this year, and he is still a child."
"Besides, my son didn't say he wanted to get involved in military affairs, he just followed him to take a look." Zhu Jinghong explained one by one.
"Besides, dad, you were only fifteen years old at the time, so you followed the living ancestors on expeditions in the east and west, and made great achievements in conquering the great city of Phnom Penh in the north and south."
"So much so that my ancestors boasted to all the generals and praised you as the grandson who will be handed down from generation to generation. You will definitely make our Ming Dynasty prosperous for eternity."
Zhu Jinghong compiled a lot, which benefited Zhu Xianming very much.
Then Zhu Jinghong changed the subject and continued, "It is said that a tiger father has no dog son. His son is now seventeen. Even if he is only half as heroic as your father, he should go to the northwest battlefield and take a look. Look"
You still want to learn half of my heroic spirit, do you want to be the emperor too?
When this idea came up, Zhu Xianming was shocked by himself again, and thought to himself: Don’t you really want to be the emperor?
“Since you compare yourself to me, Thirteenth, do you want to be the emperor?” Zhu Xianming said in a cold tone.
If you have any doubts, just ask him directly.He wanted to catch Zhu Jinghong off guard.
Zhu Xianming's question, coupled with his cold tone, really frightened Zhu Jinghong, thinking that his performance was too revealing.
But when he thought about it again, he realized that no matter whether he had missed the point or not, he could never admit his desire to be the emperor.
So he immediately replied, "Father, you want to pass the throne to your son."
This is called doing the opposite, but these words are in line with Zhu Jinghong's character and have the effect of Much better than denial and explanation.
Of course, only he can use this method.
Before the emperor could reply, Zhu Jinghong asked again, "Dad, what about the fourth brother? I will be the prince and he will be the king of Xiang."
Hearing this, Zhu Xianming in the dragon chariot laughed. , secretly thinking that he just has random thoughts, and even an honest person like Lao Shisan doubts it.
"Shut up, these things can be joked about"
"Dad, you were the one who joked with your son first"
"You" Zhu Xianming thought for a while, Found that to be the case.
"Dad, how is the performance of the new army? Whether it is successful or not, my son has to go and see."
"This matter is related to your great cause. As you said, my son has enjoyed the royal family." To be honored, you have to make more contributions."
Zhu Xianming couldn't make up his mind about whether Zhu Jinghong should go to the northwest, because overall speaking, this was indeed "out of line."
"You should go to your mother's house first."
After that, Zhu Xianming said no more, and Zhu Jinghong just regarded him as acquiescing.
So the next key task became how to get the queen to agree.
Compared with Jinling, the conditions in the northwest are undoubtedly much more difficult, and it is indeed not easy to get the queen's permission.
After Zhu Jinghong sent the emperor back to the palace, he went directly back to the palace and was not in a hurry to go to the queen.
This matter required careful planning. He planned to discuss it with Baochai when he went back, and the couple would get it done together.
However, just after Zhu Jinghong arrived at the house, Deng An came to him to report the situation.
"You mean Wang Shuirong of Beijing went to participate in the road festival in person?" Zhu Jinghong was deeply surprised.
"The slave also felt strange. Logically speaking, he shouldn't go."
Being able to recognize that this matter was abnormal and proactively report the news to Zhu Jinghong was the biggest advantage of Deng An's existence. value.
So if such a person makes some mistakes, it is not a matter of principle that even Zhu Jinghong can forgive.
As for the matter of water dissolution, Zhu Jinghong can roughly guess that Lao Liu will definitely take action due to this matter in the future.
In this regard, Zhu Jinghong did not want to get involved. After all, he still had his own things to do.
"The princess can go back to the palace"
Baochai went into the palace again today, so Zhu Jinghong asked this question.
"The princess returned home half an hour ago." When Baochai was mentioned, Deng An looked particularly respectful.
Not just him, now the eunuch in the houseThe maids were all in awe of Baochai.
"Yes"
After saying that, Zhu Jinghong continued to walk deeper into the palace. Next, he would have a detailed discussion with Baochai.
After entering the Tongxin Hall, Baochai was talking to Keqing, about planting flowers and trees.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, Baochai wanted to adjust the layout of the palace garden, so she asked Keqing to come together to discuss the details.
"Meet the Prince" Seeing Zhu Jinghong arriving, Ke Qing quickly stood up and saluted.
Of course Baochai was no exception, but she just knelt down and performed the Wanfu ceremony.
"But please go back first, the princess and I have something to say," Zhu Jinghong said as he sat on the couch.
After taking a look at Baochai, Keqing wisely said goodbye and left, and Baochai also asked all the maids serving in the house to go out.
Sitting on the other side of the soft couch, Baochai handed Zhu Jinghong a cup of tea, and then asked, "What's the matter with Your Majesty?"
"This time, the Four Northern Guards are going to fight in the northwest. I want to go to the northwest with the army."
Hearing this, Baochai's heart tightened, and there was a hint of worry in his expression.
The Northern Fourth Guards went to the northwest to suppress the rebellion, and there were no eyesight on the battlefield. If Zhu Jinghong was gone, it would be particularly uncomfortable to think of these precious hairpins.
Ignoring the change in Baochai's expression, Zhu Jinghong continued, "The old man has already agreed. Now the trouble is to get the queen mother to agree."
At this point, Zhu Jinghong stretched out his hand He took Baochai's hand, looked at her with a very solemn look and said, "Princess, you have to help me with this matter." I'm not willing to let you go."
Having said this, Baochai put his other hand on Zhu Jinghong's hand and asked, "The battlefield is dangerous, so why do you have to risk yourself? You don't have to go forward. "This paragraph"
In the following sentence, Baochai already meant something and wanted to persuade Zhu Jinghong to give up this idea. This is the simplest emotion and thinking of a wife.
Zhu Jinghong understood Baochai's thoughts very well. He sighed first, and then said, "Baochai's time waits for no one."
"If you don't go to the battlefield, if you don't take care of Baochai, How can you and I stand on the ground with these military achievements?"
In fact, Baochai understood the truth, but she still couldn't accept it calmly as she watched her lover put himself in danger.
"The four and six trees have deep roots. If I don't take shortcuts, there is no chance of winning," Zhu Jinghong said solemnly.
“I really have to go”
“I have to go,” Zhu Jinghong said firmly.
"How do you want me to help you?"
Obviously, Baochai has compromised, and she knows that she cannot persuade Zhu Jinghong.
"You can think of a way for me to get my mother to agree to let me go to the northwest," Zhu Jinghong replied calmly.
"After talking for a long time, you have no clue about this matter, but you want me to come up with something for you." Baochai said angrily and pushed Zhu Jinghong's hand away.
Taking Baochai’s hand again, Zhu JingHong said, "I really can't think of it. Baochai, you are extremely smart. You won't let me down if you think about it."
Now is not the time to joke. After Baochai frowned and thought deeply, he said, "The northwest is dangerous, my mother." I care about your safety and I will definitely not let you go."
"So I decided to think of two ways."
Taking a sip from the teacup, Zhu Jinghong smiled. Then he said, "I said you were smart, but now you thought of two ways."
"Which two ways?"
"One is to let the mother know that this is It’s not dangerous to go to the northwest.”
Understanding what Baochai meant, Zhu Jinghong immediately replied, “How about I promise her that I will never leave Jiayuguan, and I will never go to the battlefield with the army?”
Nodding, Baochai continued, "The queen mother keeps you in the capital for your safety, so this second method is to prove that you are not safe in the capital."
Honestly, these words Let Zhu Jinghong be fooled. How can the capital be safe if it is not safe? How can the capital be unsafe?
"Is it possible that I find someone to assassinate me or let the White Lotus Sect threaten to drive me out of the capital? Otherwise You will definitely take my head."
Ignoring Zhu Jinghong's joke, Baochai said to herself, "If you go to your mother to ask for help, she will definitely not agree. But if you are so depressed about this matter, you will even describe it as Withered life and death on the line, I think she will let her go."
"This can deceive his wise eyes," Zhu Jinghong expressed doubts.
"Even if you can't deceive me, if your mother can see your determination, she will let you go." Baochai sighed helplessly.
Other than that, she couldn't think of any better way.
“That’s all we can do. Fortunately, we still have plenty of time. The North Fourth Guards set off in mid-April. Even if I set off in mid-May, I can still catch up with them.”
The army set off. The road was slow, but Zhu Jinghong was able to catch up with him in no time at all.
It is only the beginning of March, and there are still two months in between, enough for Zhu Jinghong to make arrangements.
The dignified prince will be in trouble, and Yi Zhaoli will be in even more trouble.
For example, in Xin'an County, fifty miles west of Shendu, Zhangzhuang Village's wealthy man Zhang Quande has been in big trouble recently.
Zhang Quande had a daughter who was promised to the son of the commander of the Xin'an Guards. It turned out to be a good marriage.
However, the son of the magistrate of Xin'an also fell in love with the daughter of the Zhang family and gave her a more generous betrothal gift.
Zhang Quande was obsessed with wealth for a while, and he wanted to attach himself to the county magistrate, so he accepted the betrothal gift from the magistrate's family.
As the Beijing Guard, the Xin'an Guards commanding officers are also dignified as fifth-grade military attachés, two ranks higher than the magistrate of Xin'an County, so how could they be willing to suffer such cowardice.
So he ordered the Qianshi family to refuse to cancel the engagement, and even promised to marry the daughter of the Zhang family.
The matter of resigning from the job has not been settled yet, and the magistrate’s family came to urge the marriage again, which made Zhang Quande who was caught in the process very uncomfortable.
When meeting old friends at this time, it is inevitable to sigh and even burst into tears.
Although he felt uncomfortable, his daughter Zhang Jinge felt even more uncomfortable. At this time, she was complaining to her close friend.
Cui Xiuqing listened carefully, and finally couldn't help but said, "Your father is too snobbish, how can he go back on his word on marriage matters like this?"
The Cui Xiuqing here is The one who had previously run for the title of Princess.
Last year her family planned to go to North Korea to recognize their ancestors, but they postponed the trip because her father was temporarily ill.
I finally prepared everything recently and decided to leave for the north within this month. His family wanted to say goodbye to relatives and friends one by one, so Cui Xiuqing followed her father to the Zhang family.
The Cui family is also a large family in the neighborhood, and they can be regarded as family friends with the Zhang family, so Cui Xiuqing and Zhang Jinge have a very good relationship.
Because of this, the two of them talked about everything at this time.
Seeing that Brother Zhang Jin was silent, Cui Xiuqing asked, "What are your plans for this matter?"
Since the problem has already occurred, complaining is in vain. What matters is how to solve it. question.
Facing this question, Brother Zhang Jin couldn't answer it at all. What could a weak woman like her have planned?
Seeing that she was silent, Cui Xiuqing asked instead, "Do you prefer the Xu family or the Li family?"
The commander of Xin'an Guards was named Xu, while the magistrate of Xin'an County was The surname is Li.
This question was out of the ordinary. If anyone else asked Zhang Jin, they would think they were teasing her, but she knew Cui Xiuqing was not joking.
Faced with this close friend in his boudoir, Brother Zhang Jin only thought for a moment before replying, "How can one woman serve two husbands? Although I have not yet married the son of the Xu family, my fate has already been decided for this life. I will not marry anyone other than the son of the Xu family."
When she said this, Brother Zhang Jin felt quite decisive, and Cui Xiuqing on the side understood her thoughts.
Sighing, Brother Zhang Jin said with emotion, "If the Li family is really too intimidating, I will not remarry even if I die."
"If you don't remarry, why don't you remarry? You are not married yet." Let's talk about remarrying."
"Besides, the trouble your family is facing may not be impossible to resolve," Cui Xiuqing said calmly.
"My father has thought of all the ways he can think of. If the Li family refuses to let go, what else can they do?"
Silly girl, your father may not be of the same mind as you. Ah, Cui Xiuqing said secretly in her heart.
The so-called county officials are not as good as the current ones. Although the Xu family is of higher rank, it cannot be compared to the family of the county magistrate.
Zhang Quande loves money and clings to powerful people. It is self-evident who he prefers in his heart.
"I have a way, which will not only solve your current troubles, but also help you achieve your full wish," Cui Xiuqing said with a smile.
"It's already this time, and you still have the heart to joke with me."
Taking away her smile, Cui Xiuqing said solemnly, "I'm not joking with you. There are many ways to solve your predicament." "Simple"
"What can we do?" Zhang Jinge asked quickly. At this moment, she had already given birth to hope., looking forward to some good advice from my best friend.
"I helped you, how do you want to thank me?" Cui Xiuqing smiled again.
"I knew you were teasing me, but you still let me amuse myself and ignore you"
Brother Zhang Jin was so anxious that he couldn't resist Cui Xiuqing's teasing. At this moment, she was serious. Angry.
So Cui Xiuqing apologized quickly and tried to calm down her best friend.
"Do you still remember that I ran for the princess last year?"
"Yes"
"I passed the princess election that day, and I was in the palace I got acquainted with the current Princess Xiang during her upbringing, and helped her with a few small favors during the period. I can barely be considered a friend."
Looking at Brother Zhang Jin, Cui Xiuqing's expression became more serious, "If I can ask this person to help me, , the trouble you are encountering can be resolved with just one sentence from her."
