After winning the battle with Chen Youliang at Longwan, Zhu Yuanzhang gained many more generals and even recruited an extremely elite navy. Zhu Yuanzhang walked with the wind these days.
Zhu Yuanzhang rested for three months and decided to pursue the victory.
As for the government, Zhu Yuanzhang announced in the morning court that he would lead a few generals and an army of 100,000 to pursue the victory.
The Crown Prince was in charge of the government, with Li Shan Chang and Deng Yu assisting him.
He even directly stipulated that Zhu Biao had the same rights as him.
In other words, other than the 100,000 soldiers and a few generals that Zhu Yuanzhang had brought away, there was no one else. All military and political matters in the country are at the prince's disposal!
What was Zhu Yuanzhang's status in the court? The Crown Prince was now in charge of the country, what kind of status was that!
Although everyone was surprised, there was no reason to dissuade them. They could only accept it helplessly.
Ten days later, Zhu Yuanzhang led Shao Rong, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Yu Tonghai, Liao Yongzhong, Tang, Hu Mei, and other people he could use in this war, as well as an army of 100,000, to the north to attack Chen Youliang's remaining troops.
This also meant that from now on, apart from the military power that Zhu Yuanzhang took away, everything in Wu was decided by Zhu alone.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang left Yingtian, in order to prevent Li Shanzhang from being too attached to power and refusing to listen to him, he not only left behind 5,000 Wolf Breaking Army soldiers and blue jade, but he also left his own sword and three imperial edicts for Zhu Biao.
If someone disobeyed him, Zhu Biao could kill him directly.
Even Lee Shan Chang was no exception.
This time, even if Zhu Biao wanted to usurp the throne when Zhu Yuanzhang was not around, he could easily succeed, let alone suppress the courtiers.
……
The next day, at midnight.
The sky was still dark, and most people were sleeping.
However, today, the Duke of Wu's mansion was as lively as the new year.
"You must set a time? Send someone to keep an eye on it."
"Don't worry about these things. The other sisters are with the prince. No matter what, it's impossible to delay the time.”
"I'm just worried. The prince is going to decide the matters of Wu today! If I'm delayed for even a second, I won't be able to live anymore.”
"Don't worry about it anymore. There are people watching the prince.”
In the prince's manor, all the maids and guards were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
It was said that the prime minister was a seventh-grade official in front of him. As the servant girls of the prince's residence, who knew how many people rushed to curry favor with them.
Now that their master was young and in charge of the country, how could they not be excited?
"How's the breakfast preparation going? Don't prepare anything that tastes too strong or too cold.”
"Go and check the prince's clothes again. If there's a problem, be careful of your skin.”
"Get someone to watch the time. Don't be late.”
"Be careful today. I won't forgive anyone who delays the prince's important matter.”
Yao Guangxiao was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. He looked around several times.
"Don't worry, Chief. We're all careful.”
"Don't relax. Check carefully. There can't be any mistakes.”
Yao Guangxiao really didn't expect Zhu Biao to be so capable and trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
This was the full authority of the country! He even had the ability to kill powerful ministers.
This made him extremely excited. He didn't have to worry about not being able to realize his ambition by following Zhu Biao.
Therefore, Yao Guangxiao was even more concerned. He could not afford to make a mistake at this time.
If he couldn't even do such a small thing well, he might not be able to bear the responsibility in Zhu Biao's heart.
Zhu Biao himself was far less excited than these servants.
He only lamented that he had woken up too early.
"Don't panic!"
Lucky and Ruyi were usually quite steady.
But today, they were indeed shaking so badly that even Zhu Biao noticed that something was wrong with them.
"Don't panic. Just act as usual. No matter how panicked you are, you can't help.”
"How can your maid help you, prince? As long as I don't cause trouble for you.”
Ruyi said as she helped Zhu Biao put on his socks.
"Ever since this news came out, Sensei Song and Manager Yao have reminded us many times last night that we must not be late today.”
"It's not just Sensei Song and Steward Yao. Everyone in the prince's residence who can speak has already told this servant and Sister Ruyi many times. If this servant delays the prince's matters today, this servant will have to find a place to slit her own throat.”
Ruyi said as she tidied up the bed.
Since yesterday, they had been stopped countless times, and they were told not to miss the time.
Ji Xiang and Ru Yi carefully dressed Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao washed up, barely ate two pieces of snacks, and then hurried out.
Over there, Yao Guangxiao had already led 30 guards and waited for a long time.
When they reached the second gate, there were another thirty guards waiting.
When they reached the gate, Zhu Biao was already followed by a hundred guards.
"I, Mao Qi, pay my respects to the prince!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's secretary general, Mao Qi, did not go with Zhu Yuanzhang. Instead, he stayed in Nanjing to help Zhu Biao intimidate the courtiers.
He was wearing armor and had soldiers behind him?
However, the first thing Zhu Biao saw was a palanquin carried by 12 people behind him.
Although the palanquin was not very magnificent, it was carved with nine dragon patterns and looked majestic.
This was Zhu Yuanzhang's palanquin, although he rarely did it.
However, this sedan chair could be said to be a symbol of status. Other than Zhu Yuanzhang himself, anyone else sitting on it would be overstepping their authority.
And now, Zhu Biao was also going to sit on this sedan chair.
The only difference was that Zhu Yuanzhang had to be carried by 16 people, while Zhu Biao, as the crown prince, only had 12 people.
"What are you doing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang had already told him that when he established the country, he had to use the Crown Prince's honor guard every day.
He was the country's supervisor, especially at his age. He was still young, so he really had to show off.
However, this palanquin that could only be lifted by 12 people was a little too much, right?
he said with a frown.
"My father usually rides a horse to court. Why should I do anything unnecessary today?”
"Reporting to the prince, this was specially instructed by the High Duke.”
Mao Qi took a step forward and whispered in front of Zhu Biao.
"This was specially instructed by the higher-ups. Courtesy is what matters between monarch and minister. Prince, you are still young. If you don't pay more attention, you might be fooled by those officials. The High Duke is worried about you.”
Zhu Biao could only nod and get into the sedan.
Mao Qi saw that Zhu Biao had sat down, so he put down the curtain and shouted.
"Let's go."
"Prince, let's go."
Following the shouts, the guards of honor quickly moved. A group of people marched toward the Ministry of Central Affairs.
Zhu Biao arrived outside the main hall of the Ministry of Central Affairs.
