Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 360 Righteousness
Inside the palace, Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang were waiting for Zhu Houzhao and Princess Xia, and they knew that Zhu Houzhao had arrived.

The palace people have already reported to the two of them what happened outside.Regarding the relationship between their son and the princess, Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang were very pleased, and they were also happy to see their son and the princess have such a good relationship.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao and the princess walking in holding hands, Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang smiled at the same time.The prince and the princess have a very strong relationship, so the parents are naturally very pleased.

Zhu Houzhao pulled the princess and concubine to salute the emperor and the queen respectfully, and said, "I have seen the emperor and the queen."

Empress Zhang smiled and walked to Zhu Houzhao's side.He stretched out his hand to pull his son and daughter-in-law up, and said with a smile: "The family doesn't need to be so polite." At the same time, he turned his head and looked at the princess with a warm smile and comforted him: "You have suffered a lot these days."

Concubine Xia looked flattered, and quickly said softly: "This is the duty of a concubine."

The family had dinner together.Princess Yongning has been carrying her bird cage and teasing the parrots in the cage. She has become the pistachio of the audience at night.

That night, Zhu Houzhao did not mention the affairs of Liaodong; Zhu Youtang also did not mention the affairs of the court.We just had a family dinner.

Until the time to light the lights.Zhu Houzhao returned to Xianyang Palace with Princess Xia.

This night, Xiao Biesheng was naturally newly married, and even the moon shyly hid in the clouds.

The next morning, Zhu Houzhao woke up very late.The murderous aura accumulated in the northwest was almost dispelled by Ruan Ruanxiang at this time.He didn't get up until after three poles in the sun, but the person next to his pillow disappeared.

Walking out of the palace, rubbing some hungry stomachs, Zhu Hou took care of the princess who was preparing breakfast.

He walked behind the princess, gently stretched out his hands to wrap around the slender waist, put his head on the soft shoulders of the princess, and said with a smile: "If the king does not go to court early, he is talking about my palace." .”

The concubine has long been used to Zhu Houzhao's insensitivity.She turned her head and glanced at Zhu Houzhao reproachfully, and said with a coquettish smile, "That's my concubine's fault."

Zhu Houzhao also laughed, and gently let go of the princess's waist and said: "This is just a reason for the fatuous emperor to find for himself. They value beauty more than the country and the people. This is their own problem. As long as But they dare not admit it, so they put all the responsibility on women, just to cover up their own cowardice."

Listen to Zhu Houzhao's words.The Crown Princess laughed again, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness has the world and the people in his heart, and this is the blessing of the world and the people."

Stretching out his hand to hold the concubine's hand, Zhu Houzhao said softly: "I'm just doing what I should do. Things are disturbing the world, just find what I should do. What I have to do now is to eat , the Crown Princess is with me."

After speaking, he dragged the princess to the dining table.

Zhu Houzhao's breakfast is always simple.Today is the same: a plate of buns and millet porridge.

Concubine Xia is also happy with it.Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Zhu Houzhao is also very satisfied with his princess.

The two had breakfast together.Zhu Houzhao left Xianyang Palace.

We didn't talk about anything yesterday, obviously the old man has been waiting impatiently.

Horqin came to surrender, which already made my father a little anxious.Now that I have come back, although I have to find my father to clarify, but I guess my father is waiting for me.

If it doesn't pass by now, I guess the old man will be really angry.

When Zhu Houzhao came to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youtang was already here.

Obviously Zhu Youtang didn't sleep well last night.

Maybe it was the matter in Liaodong that bothered my father.But in Zhu Houzhao's view, this is nothing at all.

into the palace.Zhu Houzhao came to Zhu Youtang.Respectfully saluting: "I have seen my father."

Zhu Youtang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay! Don't mess with these things. You are young, so don't indulge too much in sex. Your body is good, but you must also pay attention to it. Your body is the capital , you said it yourself."

Hearing what his father said, Zhu Houzhao also smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "Father is strong. It seems that he has listened to what my son said."

"Okay! What do you think of the Liaodong matter?" This matter has troubled Zhu Youtang for so many days, and now seeing his son, he obviously couldn't help it.

Hearing his father's question, Zhu Houzhao's expression became serious.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Houzhao said: "The matter in Liaodong was actually expected by my son. Ever since Liaodong built a textile factory and auctioned the pasture, the problem has actually existed. Whether it is a textile factory or a pasture, all Humans are needed to operate it.”

"Now that cashmere is selling so well, there is a huge demand in both North Korea and Ming Dynasty. The generals and relatives of Liaodong all want to earn more money. In this way, they need more pastures and people."

Zhu Youtang nodded appreciatively while listening to his son's analysis.

"Compared with recruited refugees, captured slaves are more economical and worry-free. Especially these slaves are the best herdsmen, which is what those rich people need. So Jiangmen and Xunguixun It is also reasonable for relatives to support the war in Liaodong."

After Zhu Houzhao finished talking about the current situation in Liaodong, the topic suddenly changed, "What I am worried about now is that once Liaodong goes to war, it will be fine if we win; if we lose, the good situation in Liaodong will be ruined. And our hard work in Liaodong , it will be in vain.”

Listen to what your son says.Zhu Youtang nodded and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"

"Originally, the matter in Liaodong was still a bit tricky. My son sent the Black Dragon Army to Liaodong, at least to ensure that this battle will be won. As for stopping the battle of Liaodong, it can be stopped for a while, but not forever. The generals and nobles of Liaodong, please fight the heart It's very enthusiastic. The imperial court can't pour cold water on it, it will make them lose their fighting spirit."

"What's more, the Ming Dynasty really needs to occupy Horqin. The pastures there are indeed more suitable for grazing. If the imperial court wants to completely solve the Mongolian issue, it must destroy Horqin."

"Originally, I thought that this battle must be fought. But now that Horqin has come to surrender, things have become much easier. The generals in Liaodong and the nobles in the court only need grassland and slaves. As long as they are given grassland and slaves, then The matter can be resolved. My son wants to build a city in Horqin and send soldiers from Liaodong to settle there."

"In this way, Horqin belongs to Ming Dynasty, and the court can crown the Lord of Horqin as king. This method can also be used in other places in the future."

Looking at his eloquent son, Zhu Youtang showed doubts on his face, looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "Can Horqin agree?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled confidently, "If they don't agree, it proves that they didn't really surrender. There is no problem with Da Ming sending troops to attack Horqin. Da Ming has taken up righteousness."
