Zhu Jinghong called Liang Yi over, but Zhu Jingchun was chatting a lot at this time.
The content of the chat warned Liang Yi to be nice to his sister from both positive and negative aspects.
Liang Yi felt more and more aggrieved about this. He finally understood what it meant to marry an ancestor.
"Okay, you two should get busy, don't scare people!"
Zhu Jinghong opened his mouth and briefly relieved Liang Yi, Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingchun He obeyed and left.
However, Liang Yi did not relax for a few seconds. Thinking of facing Zhu Jinghong alone, his heart became even more nervous and heavy.
"Third sister, she was born in the royal family since she was a child. She has a temperament that is instigative. Please be more tolerant..."
"Maybe she looks a little out of touch. , but she is kind-hearted and a good girl..."
The content of Zhu Jinghong's conversation was completely different from that of Zhu Jingchun, which brought a strong sense of contrast to Liang Yi.
At this moment, he finally understood why so many people were willing to follow this man, and contact with him felt like a refreshing breeze.
The dignified prince, the mighty God of War of the Ming Dynasty, is actually so approachable.
"We, the Zhu family, will leave the Sheng'er to you!"
Hearing this, Liang Yi, who was sitting half-assed on the stool, quickly stood up and answered Said: "Your Highness's teachings, I should take them to heart!"
"Don't call me Your Highness, just call me Brother Thirteen. In the past, if I made Third Sister anxious, she would just call me Zhu Thirteen!"< /p>
Hearing Zhu Jinghong's joke, Liang Yi became more humble and respectful. He didn't even dare to think of calling him "Zhu Shisan".
"Okay, relax... Since we are a family now, don't see anyone outside!"
"Yes!" Liang Yi saluted respectfully.
Then the two of them chatted for a while, but Zhu Jinghong asked Liang Yi questions.
Watching Liang Yi walk away, Zhu Jinghong said to Zhu Jingchun who was approaching: "He is still too cautious!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jingchun also felt bitter in his heart. After all, even he, the brother of the county prince, sometimes felt frightened in front of Zhu Jinghong.
"Maybe we are not familiar with each other yet, but as time goes by... it will be fine!"
Zhu Jinghong turned around, looked at Zhu Jingchun aside, and said with a smile: "My There are a lot of things going on, so please take care of the third sister in the future."
Before Zhu Jingchun could reply, Zhu Jinghao squeezed over at some point, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Thirteen, we are together. The three sisters grew up together, so how could she be bullied?"
Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "I mean, remind her not to go too far and let the prince-in-law be bullied!"
Not to mention the maids and eunuchs brought by Zhu Yunsheng, even the guards of the Prince Consort's Mansion absolutely obeyed the princess's orders.
In other words, there is no possibility of Zhu Yunsheng being bullied in the Prince Consort's Mansion, she can only bully others.
For this reason, Zhu Jingchun ErPeople figured it out immediately, so they nodded in agreement.
Zhu Jinghong went on to say: "Husbands and wives must respect each other in order to achieve long-term success..."
Just like this, most of the hour passed quickly. , their lunch was also solved in the process.
The afternoon arrangement is to play polo. The clan and nobles will each form a team, and Zhu Jinghong himself will be the referee.
Unfortunately, before the game started, the eunuch from Qianqing Palace came over and conveyed the emperor's decree.
"You guys play first, I'll be back as soon as I go!"
Zhu Jinghong said this with a smile, and then followed the eunuch.
Almost an hour later, he arrived at Qianqing Palace and was introduced into a short hall.
Before he entered the room, he heard the discussion next door. After listening to a few more words, he realized that a court meeting was being held.
"Your Highness, please wait here!" The eunuch reminded him very respectfully.
"Yes!"
As soon as he sat down, the eunuch brought him tea, water and cakes. It was almost a treatment you only get when you go home, which shows how special Zhu Jinghong's status is.
Sat down peacefully, drinking fragrant tea, Zhu Jinghong was not idle, but listened carefully to the conversation inside.
After only a few minutes of listening, he determined the identities of several people participating in the court discussion and understood what was going on.
Zhu Jinghong knew that the sea would be uneasy, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.
As expected, wherever there is interest, foreigners will come.
The imperial court reorganized the city's shipping department, and then the scale of maritime trade was increased. These people sailed past with cannons and battleships.
Obviously, from the beginning, these people not only wanted Luzon’s port, but also wanted to encroach on maritime trade interests.
At this time, while listening to the generals' explanations, Zhu Jinghong was also thinking about countermeasures.
As he waited, another hour passed, and he saw that the sun was about to set.
It was estimated that it would be very late to return to Shanglinyuan, so Zhu Jinghong called a young eunuch and asked him to tell Zhu Jingchun to make arrangements by himself.
After all, it is not a good thing to always have people waiting for him.
After giving this order, Zhu Jinghong waited for a while, but still was not summoned by the emperor. Instead, the court gradually reached a consensus.
The generals of the Fifth Army Governor's Office were of the opinion that they should promote peace through war and form a joint fleet with Jinling and Zhejiang naval forces to force the Spaniards to return to Luzon.
The two sides reached a peace, and then the court would grow for another two years, and then settle accounts with the Western Yi when it became stronger.
The emperor was noncommittal about this and was still considering it.
When the sun went down, the court discussion ended. After the generals left, Zhu Jinghong was brought to the emperor.
"Dad, do you have something to do with your son?"
After the case, Zhu Xianming asked calmly: "Your confinement is over today, and you didn't want to enter the palace to invite your mother."An, I went to Shanglinyuan to have fun first. How can I say that? "
"This...mother is going to meditate this morning, and my son is going to go there, but he was taken to Qianqing Palace, so..."
"So blame me for leaving you here. ? "Zhu Xianming sneered.
"My son doesn't dare! "Zhu Jinghong replied with his waist raised.
For a moment, Zhu Xianming was choked. He found that this boy was also very eloquent.
Cheng Ying noticed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to hand over He said: "Your Majesty... are you going to pass on the meal? "
Not to mention, it's time to pass on the food, and Zhu Xianming, who has been busy all afternoon, is really hungry now.
"Well! "
Zhu Xianming responded, Cheng Ying immediately nodded, and then the eunuchs outside became busy.
As for the father and son in Nuan Pavilion, they were very embarrassed. Together, we wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.
A few minutes later, Cheng Ying reported: “Your Majesty, the food is ready, please move on! ”
The emperor had a special palace room for meals. Zhu Xianming got up and went there after hearing this. Although Zhu Jinghong was not invited, he followed him on his own initiative.
He followed, of course. You won't see the faint smile on Zhu Xianming's face.
A few breaths later, the father and son came to the dining room, and the long table was filled with dishes. There was no need for food to fill the scene, but there were more than twenty dishes on display at this time, and each one looked extremely exquisite.
Zhu Jinghong noticed that there were two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and it was obvious that Cheng Ying took the initiative. A portion was prepared for him.
The emperor sat down, looked at Zhu Jinghong standing at the door, and asked, "If you don't mind, let's eat together!" "
Zhu Jinghong usually responded with disdain, but he said: "I don't dare to disdain it, it's just that something is missing..."
"What is it? "
As he walked to his seat, Zhu Jinghong said: "Good food goes with good wine. Drinking tea at this time seems a bit uninteresting! ”
“You are more particular about it! "
The emperor complained, and then ordered Cheng Ying: "Give him a pot of wine! ”
It is a rare scene to ask for wine at the emperor’s table, and Cheng Ying also found it very novel.
Soon the jug was presented, and there was a eunuch. After pouring it for him, Zhu Jinghong drank three large glasses before saying: "Comfortable! ”
This scene also aroused the alcohol bug in Zhu Xianming’s belly. He had not touched wine for seven or eight days.
Cheng Ying has been serving the emperor for a long time, and he is very good at observing his words and expressions. He was a proficient man and immediately asked: "Your Majesty, the imperial wine presented today has a long and mellow taste. I will give you a full cup to taste!" "
Zhu Xianming did not refuse. Cheng Ying immediately took the wine pot and poured the emperor a full glass.
Zhu Jinghong would also choose the time, and immediately stood up, holding the wine glass and said: " Dad, my son, here’s a toast to you. I wish you good health and long life.No borders! "
So, the father and son drank the first drink, which made the atmosphere lively.
"Did you hear the afternoon meeting? "
"I heard it! "Zhu Jinghong replied, while thinking about how to reply.
"What do you think? "Zhu Xianming then asked.
At this time, Cheng Ying filled up another glass for him. After Zhu Jinghong had another drink with the emperor, he replied: "My son thinks that these Western barbarians have been planning for a long time, so The picture is huge! ”
“Oh? Let's talk about it..."
I have to say that Zhu Jinghong is good at chatting. He has mastered the essence of "alarmism" and directly made the emperor want to listen, secretly saying that he had found the wrong person.
p>"Before, my son thought that Xiyi was putting pressure on us because of Lu Song... and wanted to promote negotiations through negotiation! "
"They sent envoys to Ming Dynasty. It has only been two months since the negotiations broke down. They have committed evil acts at sea and want to force us to make concessions! "
"So my son thinks that they came to us from the beginning because they wanted to usurp the interests of maritime trade and suck the blood of Ming Dynasty! "
This idea is very bold, but when Zhu Xianming thought about it carefully, he found that it does make sense.
"Explain it in more detail..." Zhu Xianming said seriously.
Zhu Jinghong didn’t hide his clumsiness. Of course, no matter how serious it was, he almost told the emperor that the Ming Dynasty was in critical condition.
“Dad, it seems that our intelligence is now in danger. The ability is still too weak, especially the ability to obtain overseas intelligence! ”
“As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will lead to a hundred battles. If we can detect the intentions of foreigners in advance, we can also prepare to deal with them earlier! "
In the last two sentences, Zhu Jinghong was mixing personal goods, and then he introduced Li Wenzhao.
"That's the truth! "Zhu Xianming nodded slightly.
Although Nanzhen Fusi is specifically responsible for foreign intelligence, its ability is still too weak in comparison, and it often does not play a big role.
While the emperor was thinking, Zhu Jinghong continued: "As far as my son knows, even the four thousand households in Nanzhen Fusi in Beijing are still missing one! ”
His intention to recommend people is very obvious, and objectively speaking it seems very unwise.
But the problem is that Zhu Jinghong wants to use a simple and direct method. , to test the emperor's mind (bottom line).
The emperor noticed his intention and said accordingly: "Thousands of households in the capital are still short of people, it's strange if they can get the intelligence done! "
"Dad, so you have to recruit troops. Not to mention other things... you must at least set up Nan Si's presence in Beijing first! "
Zhu Xianming smiled and asked, "I'm missing a Qianhu, do you have someone to choose from?" "
"Well...originally my son shouldn't talk nonsense, but when he thought about promoting talents without avoiding relatives, for the sake of the court and the Ming Dynasty, his son recommended Li Wenzhao, the deputy Qianhu of the Northern Division! ”
Li Wenzhao, because of the recent Zhu Jingrun case, Zhu Xianming was quite impressed with him and knew that he was a man of action.
Zhu Jinghong was able to admit frankly that Li Wenzhao was his own, which did not make Zhu Xianming feel disgusted. After all, this kind of thing cannot be covered up at all, and not covering it up is the wisest choice.
Putting all this aside, Li Wenzhao is indeed a man of action. At this time, Zhu Xianming has already recalled the past events.
Looking at Zhu Jinghong who was still working, Zhu Xianming said calmly: "Selecting and employing people is Nansi's business. If he has the ability... he can be promoted!"
Zhu Jinghong responded repeatedly saying yes. He knew that the main point was over, so he did not continue.
"You just said so much, how to deal with it...do you have any good ideas?"
The so-called good ideas are of course already in Zhu Jinghong's mind, and he didn't have any in one afternoon. In vain.
"My son thinks that it is extremely difficult to defeat the Western Yi people now, and the method of promoting peace through fighting is feasible. I just have a few suggestions..."
The so-called "extremely difficult" , is a nicer way of saying it, but in fact it is simply impossible.
The Spanish fleet in Luzon only accounts for less than 30% of its navy. Even so, the two naval divisions of Jinling and Zhejiang combined, the Ming Dynasty and its paper military strength are only equal.
If someone increases their troops as the situation changes, there will be no chance of winning.
“Say!”
“Since we want to use war to promote peace, we must first deter the Western barbarians, so our military strength must be strong and we must be willing to give it a go. !"
"Continue!"
"My son thinks that the Liaodong Navy can be transferred south to enhance our army's advantage!"
"That's it! First, it can be used as a deterrent, and secondly, when war is inevitable, a decisive battle with the Western Yi will increase the chance of victory."
By transferring the Liaodong Navy to the south, the Ming Navy's on-paper military strength has basically surpassed the Western Yi army! .
This is an important decision. Of course, Zhu Xianming cannot make an immediate decision. He has not even thought about the matters discussed in the afternoon.
"The Northwest War is still going on, and the war is about to rise on the sea. Is it true that as you said...the situation is changing that has not happened in thousands of years!" Zhu Xianming looked heavy.
Seeing this, Zhu Jinghong stood up with a wine glass and walked towards the emperor and said: "Dad... Heroes emerge in troubled times. If you let the Ming Dynasty dominate the world, you will be worthy of being the first emperor in history! "
Hearing this, the gloom in Zhu Xianming's heart gradually subsided, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Hahaha...you kid, I don't dare claim to be the best in history!"
That's what he said, but as the emperor on horseback, Zhu Xianming was already looking forward to it.
On the side of the throne, Zhu Jinghong raised his waist, raised his glass and said: "To wish you to become the number one, let us have a drink!"
Zhu Xianming burst into laughter, Then he raised his glass and drank with Zhu Jinghong. It was obvious that he was very happy.
Next, the father and son started a very lengthy discussion about the situation in the northwest and the sea, which lasted for at least two hours.
This was a very long meal. While they were talking, they exchanged cups and cups, and both of them were drunk.
Not only did this scene not resemble the relationship between a king and his ministers, it didn’t even resemble the relationship between father and son. Instead, it looked like friends they had made over the years, and the eunuchs who were serving them were stunned.
