Chapter 1479 Battle Line(1/2)
After the new rain in the empty mountains, autumn comes late.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, from the yamen to the workshop, holidays begin. Each yamen holds a three-day holiday, and the workshops are basically the same.
There are people coming and going on the streets, and it is extremely lively.
Those who eat meals in the yamen go home for reunion, and those who are on holiday in the workshop find ways to rush home to reunite with their families. Those who are a little far away from home have also changed into new clothes and go shopping in the city during the holidays.
In the palace.
According to Zhang Chao's instructions, many Mid-Autumn Festival ceremonies were purchased early this year, and each of them had a copy, from eunuchs to palace maids and those guards.
A box of mooncakes, fruits such as apples, pears, and practical things like towels and socks, as well as soaps and tooth powder. In short, they are all small but very affordable.
Moreover, there are some rewards, with the fewer ones being 1,800 cereals and the more ones being 1,000 cereals.
Arrange the rotation of the people, and everyone else can enjoy this rare Mid-Autumn Festival.
Cui Yingying and the others also specially made a lot of osmanthus and made osmanthus cakes by themselves. They also fried the peanuts and sunflower seeds collected from Beiyuan’s private fields.
There were several tables in the courtyard of Ganlu Hall, and the royal people were here tonight to enjoy the moon.
It was still dark just now, the queen and concubines had arrived, and the princess and princesses in Beijing were also here.
Zhang Hun is here too, a little listless.
Although he had only been in prison for less than half a day, but his title was reduced and his title was replaced, it was a big blow to him. He thought that his father would definitely not agree to Wei Zheng's handling and would definitely protect him.
However, unexpectedly, the ending was that kind of ending. He now felt that the entire Han Kyoto was watching his jokes. The second prince had no face.
Especially when it is replaced by a fiefdom of Mobei, how can it be compared with Suiyuan?
Zhang Hun sat under the osmanthus tree with a cold face.
Seeing the younger brothers and sisters playing and running there, they became more and more depressed. These young younger brothers and sisters didn't even know the cruelty of this world. They just made a small mistake and were treated so unfairly.
"Erlang, come and help me put these on."
Cui Yingying waved to her son.
Zhang Hui stood up reluctantly and walked over.
"Mother Queen."
Cui Yingying reached out to help her son tidy up her clothes, "You are all marquises who have married and have children and are still in a vassal state. Why do you become depressed when you encounter a little bit of things? A man is a real man, what is this small thing? You should be able to bend and stretch, and you will be braver as you get more and more frustrated."
"My mother, for such a small matter, I will take back my fiefdom and demote my title, but I am not convinced."
"Silly child, your father is also for your own good. Look at you, you have not realized how big the mistake you have made yet. If other princes made such a mistake, they are the first offenders. In order to set a model, the court will definitely punish them more severely, and maybe they will be executed."
"This is not the case." Zhang Hui said dissatisfied.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Chao came from behind, and after hearing Zhang Hui's words, he felt very angry.
Now, there is no repentance.
It turns out that Zhang Chao thought that this son was actually quite good. When he was in Beijing, he was excellent in all his skills and his art of literature and military affairs. During his enfeoffment to Dayuan, he was still very successful.
Unexpectedly, after being enfeoffed to Suiyuan, not only did the fiefdom be messed up, but it also caused such trouble. Originally, no young man would make mistakes, and it would be good that he could correct his mistakes after making mistakes.
But now, Zhang Hun is full of complaints, always feeling that the whole world is unfair to him, but he doesn't think about his own mistakes.
It’s still the past that was too smooth and there were no setbacks in life.
"Tomorrow, you will leave Jing and go to Yiwu to the vassal. This time, I will not give you money to you again. Just the money of those original people, it is your ability to manage it well. If you don't manage it well, it is your incompetence. Also, if you cause such trouble this time, I will not help you again."
Zhang Chao rarely scolds his son like this. Zhang Chao scolds him so much that he shrugged his head.
Cui Yingying smoothed out, "Okay, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a good day for family reunion, so don't say this anymore. Give Hun'er some time, he will definitely be able to recognize his mistakes."
She pulled her son's hand.
Zhang Hui lowered his head and said to Zhang Chao, "My son knows that he is wrong, please forgive me."
"It's useless to say it. If you really know that you are wrong, just repent. When you arrive at the fiefdom, act like it so that you won't be looked down upon by others."
The sky gradually darkened.
The lights were also lit.
In front of the cool nectar palace, the royal family reunited, eating fruits, mooncakes, drinking tea, and chatting. This atmosphere was extremely rare.
Xu Hui picked a mooncake for Zhang Chao.
"What stuffing?" Zhang Chao asked.
"Five Ren's."
"I don't like eating five-ren." Zhang Chao shook his head.
"The Wuren mooncake is delicious, and the meaning is also good."
"I like salted duck egg yolks."
Xu Hui chose a salted duck egg yolk for Zhang Chao, and then Zhang Chao asked her to feed him.
"So many people."
Xu Hui felt a little embarrassed.
"The taste is good." Although the mooncakes are eaten every Mid-Autumn Festival, although they are in the same form, I have to say that the mooncakes of this era are quite good. The mooncakes he eats every year are basically made by the women at home themselves.
In fact, even mooncakes sold by merchants rarely appear in all kinds of messy things. They will never be said to be left for a year and will not deteriorate.
"Is Your Majesty too strict with the Second Prince?" Xu Hui asked cautiously.
"Why, do you feel unfair for him?"
"No, I just think that the second prince is still young after all, and it is so strict that it is difficult for the second prince to accept it."
"You have to accept it even if it is difficult to accept it. Don't worry about these things. My prince, I hope they will become useful people, become excellent marquises, become the court, and become the most loyal and reliable vassal of the royal family. Instead of becoming a burden to the court, a burden to the court."
"Compared to me, Zhang Hui and others were born with a golden key in their hands and had never experienced any setbacks in their lives. Although they received a good education and performed very well in normal times, they actually lacked many things. How could they see the rainbow without experiencing the wind and rain?"
"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight first!"
Xu Hui is also a smart person, so she will not mention this matter anymore.
The atmosphere gradually became more and more joyful. This was a royal family dinner. There were no foreign ministers and the family did not have many rules and regulations. They let go of chatting and talking.
"I don't know how the prince is doing in North Korea. I miss him very much."
Zhang Chao smiled at the queen and said, "The young eagle always needs to flap its wings and fly high when they grow up. The prince will inherit the throne and rule the world in the future. He is still young and needs to be trained outside. The East China Sea is not big or small, and it is just right for him to flap. No matter how hard it is, it is quite safe and can also help him develop a good body."
Several concubines next to them praised the prince for his virtuous and talentedness. He had only been in the war for half a year and had destroyed the two countries in a row.
Zhang Hui over there felt even more depressed as he listened.
He and the prince were both compatriots, but because the prince was born for half an hour, the status of the two were completely different. As a result, Zhang Jing was the heir to the family. His father established the country, and he became the crown prince directly.
Now Zhang Jing is even more proud in North Korea, but in comparison, he is now extremely miserable.
"The destruction of Silla and Baekje is nothing. With the assistance of those old generals, anyone who takes the lead can win. The most important thing is the next governance. I plan to let the prince stay in the East China Sea for five or ten years. Anyway, he is still young, and he will only be in his twenties in ten years."
"As the prince's fief, Silla and Baekje, and North Korea, are also assigned to the prince's responsible governor. I hope that in ten years, the prince will deliver a satisfactory answer."
Ten years later, the prince was twenty-eight years old and Zhang Chao was fifty-two years old.
When the prince returns to Beijing, he slowly begins to participate in the government affairs and prepares for inheriting the throne. Zhang Chao thinks this is better than keeping the prince in the capital.
East China Sea.
Tsushima Sea.
Facing the overwhelming Japanese fleet, Liu Rengui, commander of the North Sea Fleet, was not at all panicked, but was particularly happy.
God blessed him and finally gave him a chance.
"These Japanese are really overestimating their abilities. They dare to challenge our Imperial Navy at sea. Hahaha, die."
In the Tsushima Island military port, the horn of the battle has been sounded.
The soldiers from the camp on the shore received the order of battle and rushed back to the dock to board the ship in an orderly manner.
Boats pull anchors and lift sails one by one.
Liu Rengui also appeared on his flagship.
A five-mast three-deck gunboat, a giant with seventy-two cannons. In this era, a well-deserved sea fortress.
The Japanese fleet of more than 1,000 ships of all sizes, was loaded with 50,000 Japanese soldiers and was heading towards the port, covering the sky.
Just looking at that number can really shock people.
The sky and the sea were completely filled with these ships.
Tsuma Military Port.
The Marines on the shore were also busy and quickly took their place.
Many artillery batteries were built in the military port, and the gunners of the shore defense cannons were on standby. The carriage pulled boxes of shells and gunpowder arrived.
The North Sea Fleet slowly sailed out of the military port and lined up on the sea.
Eighteen gunboats!
