When Chang Sheng heard that Zhu Kai was indeed an eloquent person, he also felt that this guy had spent such a long time in the border area and it was indeed not in vain.

There has indeed been great progress. No wonder so many people are worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In fact, he was quite worried about the current situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With an outstanding younger brother like Zhu Kai, and at the same time, his competitors were too strong, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would appear a little dull.

"Your Majesty, Mobei has always been a threat to our Ming Dynasty. The sooner we can subdue all of them, the sooner we can eliminate this major threat to our Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Zhu Kai remembered that after this year it would be the eighth year of Hongwu.

So many things happened this year, the most critical and the one that gave him the most headaches was the Japanese pirates, who were about to show up.

"Mobei? They are indeed a major threat to our Ming Dynasty, but they are not the most difficult and troublesome one to deal with.

Now that Wang Baobao has surrendered to our Ming Dynasty, and we have a better understanding of the local situation, I have not wasted the past year or so living a life of luxury in the border area.

In addition to understanding the local customs and their combat style, we are also building some hardware facilities to resist them.

Although we cannot build a Great Wall to resist them like Qin Shihuang did, we have taken other actions.

When I have time, I will report this to the Emperor in person.

However, you would be wrong to say that Mobei is a major threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Because some people are accumulating their own power, they are the real threat to the Ming Dynasty, and they are more difficult to deal with, and this is also where we are relatively weak. "

When Chang Sheng heard what Zhu Kai said, he was really fooled. Now he still didn't understand what the other party was saying, and he seemed a little confused.

"Apart from Mobei, is there anyone else who could be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty? I don't think so. Looking at the whole world, only the people in their border areas are unwilling to accept it."

"Chang Sheng, please don't think that I am looking down on you by saying this.

You stay in Beijing all day and your vision is limited. Do you know how big the world is?

In addition to the Mongolian tribes in the border areas and Mobei, enemies next to the Qi and Lu lands are also emerging, and their vision is gradually improving.

We must never condone or allow such things to happen.

We must nip these damned guys in the bud as soon as possible. When I mention them, I feel so angry that my teeth itch. I can't stop talking."

Chang Sheng saw that Zhu Kai was so angry, but he didn't understand what kind of enemy could make him hate him so much. The key point was that he had been in the border area for more than a year and had not been to Qi and Lu.

How could he know that around the land of Qi and Lu, a group of very terrifying enemies were gathering strength and preparing to launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty?

It was as if he had opened his third eye, which made the other party feel a little scared.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly seem so angry, as if you can't suppress the anger in your heart?"

Chang Sheng's words brought Zhu Kai back to reality from his hatred. The people of the Ming Dynasty certainly did not understand his hatred for the Japanese pirates, but Zhu Kai kept it all in mind.

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something that seems to be on the agenda."

"Your Majesty, what have you thought of? Everyone says that you are a very thoughtful person. Under such circumstances, can you come up with any new ideas?"

"Wang Baobao is no longer a threat to our Ming Dynasty, and as long as we win over the people of his tribe, they will help us resist Mobei.

Under the checks and balances of the three parties, Chagatai could not gain any benefits, and naturally he did not dare to act rashly.

All of this was within the King's expectations, but now the enemy that he should be most wary of has appeared.

The Ming Dynasty had very strong land warfare capabilities and cavalry capabilities. Not only was there your Chang family, but also the Xu family. Each of them was a hero and was capable of standing on their own.

There is no need to worry about these things. In addition, with Wang Baobao coming here this time and winning over this person, we can certainly stabilize the situation in the border area."

"What the prince said is absolutely true."

"Hmm, the tea should be cold now, try it."

Chang Sheng was also somewhat puzzled. Why did Zhu Kai insist on letting him taste the tea? It wasn't that their family didn't have good tea leaves. They had Longjing before the rain and Biluochun.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will not let you down. I must have a good taste of the tea in your mansion."

Chang Sheng brought the cup to his lips and took a sip.

This tea is indeed somewhat extraordinary. Upon closer inspection, this cup of tea does not seem to be as clear as ordinary tea, but has a faint green hue.

The tea seemed a little turbid, just like the color of rice wine, which made him a little at a loss.

"Your Majesty, why is the color of this tea so turbid?"

"Please don't misunderstand me. I am not using dirty water to make tea for you. Taste it carefully and see if the tea is less astringent and more smooth."

"Yeah, that's true. This tea is mellower than usual. It's not particularly bitter, but rather slightly sweet. What kind of tea is this?"

“This is the latest milk tea I prepared. The milk flavor of the usual milk teas is too strong.

I have deliberately increased the proportion of tea leaves, and the resulting milk tea has a completely new flavor.

Chang Sheng, you try it first. If you think it’s good, next time you go to the palace, I’ll bring some for the Emperor and Empress to try. They’ve never had this kind of milk tea before.”

"Milk tea? Isn't this what Wang Baobao and his men drink in the border areas? How could the emperor and empress be used to drinking what these barbarians drink?"

“I told you not to always deny other people’s eating habits.

The entire Ming Dynasty was so vast that people from all over the world were shaped by the local environment.

People from every place have their own eating habits, and there is no distinction between high and low. Don't act like we are superior just because we live in Yingtian Prefecture or the capital. Their eating habits also have their merits. "

Chang Sheng does have a high opinion of himself, but it is understandable that he has such an extraordinary status. After all, he is the eldest son of General Chang Yuchun and will inherit his title in the future.

"My Lord, I spoke out of turn."

"Just now you were full of praise for this cup of tea, but when you heard that it was the tea from Wang Baobao and his people in the border area, you immediately changed your attitude and said that there was nothing wrong with you?

Their milk tea is very different from this. As I said just now, the local climate and soil shape the local people.

They have their own eating habits, but we don't particularly like them. For example, I don't like things with a strong milk taste, I prefer something with a stronger tea taste. But drinking tea alone is too bitter and not really to my taste. I would rather add a little sugar and a little less milk. This is the way to go.

Chang Sheng, you must not always sit in the well and look at the world from a perspective of the universe. The most important thing is to have a broader vision, accept good things, take their essence, discard the dross and use them for your own benefit.

Isn't that what the military books also say? You can't deny others' ideas all together, nor does it mean that your own ideas are the best. Only by considering them comprehensively can you find the best solution. "

Chang Sheng usually thought that Zhu Kai was a person who often said strange things, and he couldn't understand many of the things he said, but what he said today made a lot of sense.

"Your Highness is right. I am too narrow-minded to have thought of this."

“You people are so used to being in high positions that you forget to be considerate of the plight of ordinary people. It’s not good to always be like this. When you are in a high position, you can’t hear the voices of the people below.

It has always been like this when leading troops to fight. Don't think that you are a military god. Those who can truly lead their subordinates to victory are those who care about their subordinates.

General Chang Yuchun was indeed a fierce general. When he was young, he was extremely strict with his subordinates.

Military orders are as heavy as mountains, and it is better to be strict.

But being too strict may cause resistance among subordinates, which would be counterproductive.

If you want to lead troops to fight and expand the territory for our Ming Dynasty, you must first strengthen your own strength. Just reading military books and treating your subordinates harshly is not a good idea.

Changsheng, just savor it slowly, sometimes it's just like this cup of milk tea.

A little more tea will make it more bitter, a little more milk will make it more sweet, and finding a balance is the best way.”

When Chang Sheng heard what Zhu Kai said, he really couldn't say anything to resist. On the contrary, he felt that what Zhu Kai said made a lot of sense, and he seemed to really should learn from him.

"Your Highness, we have tasted the tea and heard the truth. In this case, let's go and take over General Li Wenzhong."

"Okay, let's go. I'll go with you to see how Li Wenzhong guards you all night."

Zhu Kai was very clear about this, and he knew Li Wenzhong very well.

He is just an ambitious fool. If you ask him to guard the inn for a whole night, he will not just sit there and watch.

Maybe he had done something wrong again, or maybe he was just being lazy. Zhu Kai was simply a prophet, and his judgment of this person was absolutely correct.

After saying that, Zhu Kai took Chang Sheng with him and prepared to leave his mansion and head towards the inn first. He knew that he had to appease Wang Baobao's emotions today, at least the emperor did not plan to see him today.

"Chang Sheng, wait here for a moment. I will go back to the house to change clothes and then go with you."

"Your Majesty, please."

Zhu Kai didn't want to change his clothes, he just wanted to go back and give Xu Miaoyun some instructions.

Let her go for a walk on the street today. If she sees anyone from Xu Da's mansion, she can pass on the message and notes prepared in advance to them. With the cooperation of both inside and outside, many problems can be resolved.

"Chang Sheng, what did I say to you just now? We talked for a long time outside?"

"He is also following the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and is preparing to go to the inn to hand over to Li Wenzhong."

“I see, no wonder he came so early in the morning.

It seems that the prince had already anticipated this and that he would come here specifically to wait for him. In that case, you all should go together.

A lot of things may happen in the inn today. Your Majesty, I will not feel at ease unless you go and take a look in person.

We have already brought Wang Baobao here, so we must protect their safety and cannot let anything go wrong at this critical juncture.

If anything happened to the brother and sister, Toghon Temur, who was guarding the border, would probably not let it go.

We have finally pacified the border, and we must not make any more mistakes. It's not that we are afraid of them, but there is no need and we cannot let the prince's arrangements over the past year go to waste."

Zhu Kai was also deeply moved by what Xu Miaoyun said. He was truly a woman of eloquence.

“You are the only one who understands me best.

You always follow me and never question my decisions. No matter what I say, you always support me. Be careful when you go out on the street today."

"Don't worry, I've already thought about these things.

I will take a few more people with me when I go out later, it won't be a problem. I will go find a skilled craftsman to help the prince build a bathtub according to your drawing.

Don't worry, I remember all your instructions, but I don't know if the people sent by father are secretly supporting you."

"Are you still worried about your father?"

"That's not the case. I'm just afraid that he might make inappropriate arrangements somewhere and cause trouble for the prince."

"People say that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. The first person you are worried about is not your family, but me?"

Although Zhu Kai pretended to criticize the other party jokingly when he heard this, he was actually very happy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I have told you many times that a married woman should obey her husband. You are the most important person to me, and ensuring your safety is the most important thing."

Zhu Kai patted Xu Miaoyun's hand gently, changed into simple, low-key clothes and walked out the door.

Chang Sheng had been waiting for a long time on horseback with the guards around him.

"Your Majesty, the horses have been prepared for you, Your Majesty, please~"

Zhu Kai stepped on the horse stool and jumped onto the horse in one go.

"Let's go."

Zhu Kai rode his horse slowly while looking around. He hadn't been back to the capital for a long time and missed the snacks there so much.

Just when he was distracted, a man on horseback came running towards him, almost knocking Zhu Kai off the horse, and also scaring the horse.

"Your Majesty, are you okay? Those guys just now really didn't know the seriousness of the matter." (End of this chapter)
