Chapter 399 The eve of Lao Zhu’s trip

……

Capital City, Imperial Palace.

"Biao'er, where is the disaster relief food and grass?"

In two days, Emperor Zhu Chongba will go on a trip. I don't know how old he is when he leaves. When he comes back, it is estimated that it will be the day when the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom ascends the throne.

Officials of all sizes in the capital were silently looking forward to that day.

The protagonist, Emperor Zhu Chongba, is most concerned about the disaster at the moment.

"Jinyiwei previously sent back news that grain and grass have been shipped out from Zhongdu. Now it is estimated that it will take at most ten days to reach Guide and Runing, and then Kaifeng, Huaiqing, Weihui, Ruzhou, Nanyang, and Nanhe .”

"Ten days……"

Emperor Zhu Chongba stood up and looked at the map, looking at the eight disaster-stricken prefectures and frowning.

"Make them hurry up!"

"Father, you can't travel day and night in winter. This is already the fastest."

Prince Zhu Biao naturally knew that his father was concerned about disaster relief, but he knew the actual situation better.

"Actually, Father, if the cross railway is built, the disaster relief will be able to arrive in half a month at most."

"Fifth Brother also received a follow-up reply. This time the Zhao Mansion inspected and appeased the envoy, but there was still nothing unusual."

"The imperial court has sons and ministers, so the father and mother can travel without worries."

Before going on a trip, his father-in-law did not stay with his mother and concubines, and instead stayed in the imperial study room to handle state affairs with him.

Prince Zhu Biao wanted to reassure him, but he didn't know that these words made Emperor Zhu Chongba even more uneasy.

"rest assured."

"It's because of those ministers that we are worried."

"Especially the Zhao family, they are so abnormal."

Prince Zhu Biao naturally agreed with his father's words.

Is the Zhao Mansion abnormal? Abnormal indeed.

But everything in the world cannot always revolve around the Zhao Mansion. Everything they can restrict the Zhao Mansion has already been restricted.

There is no way that after placing guards around everyone in the Zhao family, they can also be imprisoned in the capital.

That would be counterproductive.

"Father, the Zhao family doesn't even bother to lie to us."

"On the contrary, father, if you travel down-to-earth and happily, you will be able to further limit the Zhao family's conspiracy."

He agreed in his heart, but couldn't say anything with his mouth. Prince Zhu Biao suddenly thought of the method he asked from Zhao Zheng a few days ago.

That's right, he also asked Zhao Zheng for this method.

He knew that Zhao Zheng's purpose must be hidden in it, but Zhao Zheng's method could indeed alleviate the concerns of his father, Emperor Zhu Chongba, so he would naturally use it.

As for the question about what Zhao Zheng's hidden purpose was, Prince Zhu Biao kept this question to himself.

If he told his father about this again, he might not dare to leave in two days.

"why?"

Sure enough, Emperor Zhu Chongba became interested when he heard this and turned his attention away from the map.

"Father, I think that what Zhao Mansion makes us worry about is undoubtedly their accumulated public opinion. However, due to the factional fighting in their mansion due to the frost disaster, Nanhe's public opinion will definitely be transferred to Lao Wu afterwards."

"The people only care about the present and tomorrow, and Nanhe is almost the base where Zhao Mansion accumulates public opinion. Therefore, after the weakening of public opinion this time, Zhao Mansion's influence will definitely not be as strong as before."

"The vassal king looks at foreign affairs and keeps civil and military affairs at a respectful distance. The father travels to stabilize the world, and the sons and ministers oversee the country with magnanimity."

"The current head of the Zhao family is obsessed with investigating things. The radicals are all outside the capital. There are also two guards, the Jin Yi Guard and the National Tax Guard."

"Then the Zhao Mansion's biggest remaining support comes from our fear."

"So when my father and mother travel together, they become more grand, open and enthusiastic..."

Prince Zhu Biao knew that as soon as his words came out, his father would definitely adopt them.

But he didn't expect that his father would lose control before he finished speaking.

"it is good!"

"He is indeed our prince!"

"What a great honor, but it comes from the fear of our husbands!"

"However, there is no need to go on a grand trip. The frost disaster in Nanhe requires silver. The more surplus the treasury has, the better it can meet unexpected needs."

"This time we are also doing it for the promise we made to the girl. It's just an old man and an old woman traveling, so there's no need to bother."

"I leave these memorials to you!"

"After we travel, remember to get a copy for us."

Now that it is understood that the Zhao family's biggest support now comes from his own fear, it is natural that Emperor Zhu Chongba, who has been fighting with Zhao Zheng for almost half his life, cannot let Zhao Zheng get his wish.

After figuring it out, he went straight to find his sister.

However, he said he didn't care and left everything to Prince Zhu Biao, but he still asked Prince Zhu Biao to deliver messages to him every day.

This look made Prince Zhu Biao dumbfounded, so he could only nod his head quickly.

"By the way, after the planting time, you must also remember to plant our vegetable patch."

Emperor Zhu Chongba had already turned around and walked out of the imperial study. It was Prince Zhu Biao's turn to take a look at the map and began to think about why Zhao Zheng gave the method to deal with him.

But he didn't expect that his father would pull back halfway and suddenly think of his vegetable patch.

This made Prince Zhu Biao's inner annoyance dissipate a little, and he quickly smiled and nodded.

This scene is really like the instructions a father would give to his children in an ordinary family when he is about to go on a long journey.

"why?"

……

"Do you have any opinions?"

Prince Zhu Biao spent a long time in the imperial study room in a daze, unable to come up with a result.

He just thought that Zhao Zheng seemed to know more about his father than he did.

So he returned to the East Palace and asked the four assistants for their opinions. This was also one of the important reasons why hundreds of officials supported his ascendancy.

"This... Your Highness, the successive heads of the Zhao family and many clan members have dedicated their lives to our Sun and Moon Dynasty. Even if they have selfish motives, they should be proud of His Majesty's Holy Martial Arts."

"The former chief assistant's chariot was named Wuhou, and this time Nanhe expressed his loyalty, this can all be proved."

"As for Wang Mang's suspicion, I am too stupid to notice it."

Tu Jie was the first to be asked. He didn't know what Prince Zhu Biao was thinking. He didn't dare to offend either party. He could only talk about it, and threw the question back to Prince Zhu Biao.

Prince Zhu Biao shook his head helplessly and smiled, and could only look at Xia Yan, Liu De and Zheng Zhi again.

"Your Highness, I think you know people, faces but not hearts, so it is better to be cautious!"

"I think that although a gentleman may not care about his heart when talking about his deeds, the affairs of the dynasty are important matters of life and death, so it is better to be cautious!"

"Your Highness, I think that the Zhao Mansion is magnanimous and has conquered ministers thousands of miles away. If they show loyalty, they will use them. If they show traitors, there will be no escape and they can be killed!"

Xia Yan, Liu De, and Zheng Zhi immediately gave their opinions.

After hearing what the three of them said, Prince Zhu Biao thought about the answers he got from Zhao Zheng, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

It is extremely.

How is the Zhao Mansion, how is it, how is loyalty.

I know all this clearly.

Compared with the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court, they are nothing more than a puddle of water.

Use him if he is loyal, and kill him if he is traitorous.

Especially Zheng Zhi's words spoke directly to his heart.

All the worries in his heart were swept away.

"I have several beloved ministers to help me. I feel relieved during my father's trip."

While thinking about it, Prince Zhu Biao thought that he had not visited his third sister in Zhao Mansion during the New Year period.

It was different from his mood.

After Prince Zhu Biao left, Tu Jie looked at Xia Yan and the other three with pain in his heart.

"Three colleagues! You! You..."

The grass and trees are all rustling, and we are our biggest enemy.

Why did I, an outsider, become a pro-Zhao party?
