Chapter 1519: Time
Looking at Zhu Bowei, Zhu Yicheng felt relieved. The child was a little soft-hearted when he was a teenager. Perhaps it was because of the second prince. Zhu Bowei had been following Zhu Bowei since he was a child and was lying behind his butt.
However, after entering the school, Zhu Boqian's personality changed and became cheerful and generous, especially after graduation, he went to the army for an internship. Originally, Zhu Yicheng thought he would continue to follow Zhu Boqian, but unexpectedly, Zhu Boqian did not choose to be with the prince, but went to another place, which led to the current King of Anbei.
After a few years, the child has been trained and is no longer the shy boy in his memory. Looking at his smiling face and the confidence and calmness emitted from his body, Zhu Yicheng was secretly happy.
When the father and son met, Zhu Yicheng asked a lot about him in the north, including Qiqige's situation. Zhu Boqi said a little, and Zhu Yicheng listened with a smile, nodding from time to time. The prince Zhu Bo? sat aside and accompanied him, looking at his second brother's calmness and confidence different from the past, and felt relieved.
"If nothing unexpected happens in the North, this will be the case." As he said that, when talking about the war situation in the North, Zhu Yicheng took a sip of the tea channel.
The two brothers nodded. He knew the situation in the Northland, especially although Zhu Boqi, as King Anbei, did not directly participate in the Northland War, the territory currently captured by the Ming army is his, so he will naturally pay more attention to it.
"The person sent by Russia is Tolstoy, who is an earl and is considered an important official in the Russian court." Zhu Yicheng said: "Since the death of Russian Tsar Peter, the one who took over the throne is now Peter's empress. At present, the replacement of internal rights in Russia is not stable, and the heroine ascended the throne again, and the internal struggle is fierce."
Zhu Bo? and Zhu Bowei looked at each other slightly, then nodded to show their understanding.
Zhu Yicheng continued: "The reason why I have to choose to start a war with Russia at this time is also the same. If Peter is still there, with Russia's national strength, it will definitely be the enemy of our Ming Dynasty. Once the war begins in the north, Russia will most likely send troops from Europe to reinforce, so this battle will be difficult to fight."
"So the father took advantage of Peter's death and Russia's domestic political situation was in chaos, and the country's domestic political situation was chaotic." Zhu Bo said with admiration: "The father really chose a good time. Now Yang Shuai can gain the upper hand in the north and is far-reaching, and it is beyond the reach of his sons."
Zhu Yicheng waved his hand and said, "War is only a means, politics is the goal. You need to remember that every war is initiated and ended for politics. How to fight, how to fight, how to fight to what extent, how to end, what needs to be obtained, what is important, and you need to think carefully."
Zhu Bo? and Zhu Boqi were thinking, and both nodded at the same time.
Zhu Yicheng mentioned it, but did not continue to explain it in depth. This requires them to understand it themselves. Zhu Bo and Zhu Bo, one is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the King of Beidisai, and the current King of Anbei.
No matter which identity you are, you must understand this principle. Zhu Yicheng cannot always make decisions for them, and they need to consider it carefully in the future.
After talking about some things that need to be paid attention to in the next negotiations, the news from the north was that Tolstoy had already gone south and was expected to arrive in the capital in a few days. After Tolstoy arrived in the capital, the negotiations between the two countries on the Siberian region will officially begin.
This negotiation can be said to be a major negotiation between the Ming Dynasty and Western countries on the border. Although Xinming had several negotiations before, especially the two direct negotiations between Xinming's territory and France, Spain.
But the importance of those two negotiations is different from this time, because this negotiation is directly related to the division of local territory, and its significance is far more important than Xinming's negotiations.
In addition, Zhu Yicheng also handed over the full power of the negotiation to his two sons, namely the crown prince and the king of Anbei, which is also a kind of experience.
After mentioning this matter a little, Zhu Yicheng did not continue to say more. After all, only by directly participating in this kind of negotiation can we understand it even more. Moreover, Zhu Yicheng was not worried about the discussion, and he would be in the end.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Zhu Yicheng ended the conversation. Zhu Bowei had just returned and was tired all the way. In addition, his mother was still looking forward to it. Zhu Yicheng smiled and sent them away, asking Zhu Bowei to go to the harem to pay homage to his mother, and then had a good rest in the capital these days.
"Brother, I'll go to see my mother's wife first. I'll hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow. I'll pay a good greeting to you, brother." After leaving the side hall, Zhu Boqi smiled and said to Zhu Bo.
"What are you saying? Where is your turn to invite me when you just came back?" Zhu Bo? looked stern and immediately patted his brother's shoulder and said, "I'm ready. I'll come to the East Palace tomorrow and see your sister-in-law by the way. By the way, your sister-in-law has good skills. I'll try it when I'm here."
"Sister-in-law..." Zhu Boqi hesitated for a moment. Isn't the Crown Princess pregnant? Why are she still cooking in person?
"Don't worry, your sister-in-law is in good health. If you have a nanny help you, you won't be tired." Uncle Zhu smiled and said, "A few younger brothers and sisters know that you are back, so you can take this opportunity to meet and get together."
Zhu Boqian laughed, yes, several younger brothers and sisters have grown up, and Zhu Yicheng now has nine sons and six daughters. In addition to the three oldest brothers and sisters, there are also third prince Zhu Boqian, fourth prince Zhu Boqian, fifth prince Zhu Boqian, sixth prince Zhu Boqian, seventh prince Zhu Boqian, eighth prince Zhu Boqian, and ninth prince Zhu Bolian.
Among the seven younger brothers below, the third, the fourth and the fifth have already entered school. The oldest, the third and fourth, will graduate from the Royal Academy like their two brothers to serve internship next year. The fifth will have to wait for the next year, and the sixth will not be admitted next year. The youngest is still a baby, especially the ninth prince Zhu Bolian, who is only two years old and doesn't speak well.
Among the five sisters, the youngest three are not to mention. The two older ones are also studying at the Royal Academy. However, unlike the eldest princess Zhu Qingyan, these two princesses are much more virtuous. One is good at literature, and the other likes to think about equipment and always go to the Royal Academy whenever they have time. According to Zhu Yicheng, these two daughters will also have great prospects in the future.
Thinking about the days when the three oldest brothers and sisters who were walking and stumbling, Zhu Boqi was filled with emotion in the palace.
