After Liu Bowen and the others left, Zhu Bai still wanted to struggle, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a grimace: "My son, I want to accompany my father and eldest brother to watch the memorial. The Military and Horse Division is too complicated, and it is not something I, a child, can do. "
"How many memorials have you read in a day?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily, and his face sank, "Besides, this matter will not delay you from reading the memorials."
Zhu Bai looked confused: "Ang? I can't split my son into two halves."
In the morning, I have to attend classes at the main hall. In the afternoon, I have to read memorials and practice martial arts. I also have to go to Liu Bowen to learn fortune telling and learn scriptures from the old monk.
Now he is still asked to take charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, even if he is divided into eight parts, it will not be enough.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The five-city army and horse divisions each have their own commanders, and your brother is in charge. You just need to wait for them to be unable to do something and help them come up with ideas."
Zhu Bai frowned: "If the Soldiers and Horses Division arrests someone, even if the evidence is conclusive, they still have to be sent to the Punishment Department for a decision. This is also troublesome. If all these matters are sent to the Punishment Department, the Prisons of the Punishment Department may be overcrowded. The Soldiers and Horses Division is too hard-working, and the Punishment Department will We have to blame him; the Military and Horse Department did nothing, and my father wants to blame us, so it’s not like we’re in a dilemma."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and suddenly realized that this was also a difficulty that the commanders could not express.
Moreover, the Criminal Department is no longer under the control of the Military and Horse Division. If people are released for personal gain, the arrests will be endless and they will never be able to arrest them all, and they will offend people in vain.
He said: "If the evidence is conclusive and it is not a serious crime involving death, relocation or detention, but only a fine and a slap in the face, then the Military and Horse Division will make the decision on its own. I will give you this power. Is that okay?"
Zhu Biao's mouth pursed into a straight line: It's not a matter of rights or not. The key point is that I just want to be a leisurely prince, and unlike my brothers, I don't have the ambition to guard the border and govern the vassal. Why do you want to get involved in such a thankless thing? !
Zhu Yuanzhang added: "With this title of commander-in-chief, I will give you a tooth tag. You can go to the palace whenever you want."
Zhu Bai immediately smiled: "Hey?! Really?"
My father still understands me.
In this way, I will patrol each military division for one day and go wherever there is fun.
"Look at how hopeless you are, crying and laughing for a while." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't laugh or cry, "You can go out, but you must bring wealth with you."
Zhu Bai tilted his head: "Why?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you think Fugui is an ordinary person? The personal eunuchs I sent to protect you are all first-class masters."
"Roar!"
Zhu Bai suddenly turned around and glanced at the little eunuch who was looking at the sparrows outside the door with a smile.
Fugui looks delicate and frail, but he is only fifteen or sixteen years old...
It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.
-----
The emperor decreed that the adjustment of the Military and Horse Department be made public to the court.
There was an uproar in the government and the public.
With six princes and three first-grade ministers as assistants, he is definitely the most powerful military commander in history.
The key is that with so many people, a seven-year-old prince can lead them.
People who didn't know about it said that Zhu Yuanzhang was confused and doted on his young son too much.
Those who knew about it all went to the commander of the army and horse division whom they knew: other princes are fine, but beware of King Xiang.
This kid never plays by the rules. Many ministers in the DPRK have suffered from his losses.
The six princes received their dental cards and came back from the main hall. They gathered together to discuss how to manage the Army and Horses Department, and invited Zhu Biao to listen.
Firstly, Zhu Biao is the oldest after all and can give out ideas. Secondly, Zhu Biao is the person Lao Zhu trusts most. Inviting Zhu Biao over is equivalent to inviting Lao Zhu over.
Zhu Bai originally wanted to run, but Zhu Biao held him down and sat aside, so he could only play with his Kongming Suo.
Zhu Fan shook his head and sighed: "The market in Zhongcheng is the biggest, so that's a big trouble."
Zhu Zhen looked sad: "Nancheng is full of temples, how can we take care of the monks' affairs?"
Zhu Rui looked confused: "From what you said, I think the people living in Dongcheng are all high-ranking officials of the court, so I should...don't worry about it."
Zhu Fang smiled: "Look at you all, we will have to manage a vassal prince in the future, who is much bigger than Yingtian. This makes me feel scared, what should I do in the future?"
Zhu Di didn't say anything. In fact, the North City he was in charge of was also responsible for the security of the palace's periphery, which was the most important thing.
I don’t know if Lao Zhu arranged it this way...
When the palace was completed and inspected before, everyone said that the feng shui was good, but he was very worried.
Lao Zhu asked him for his opinion again and again, and then he revealed what was in his heart: "Being condescending on the Purple Mountain and facing the Imperial City is not good for the defense of the Imperial City."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang changed his face at that time, Zhu Di did not feel that he was wrong.
A good general should take precautions before they happen.
With such a huge weakness right there, he couldn't ignore it.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang did not blame him later and said that he had military talents.
This time Lao Zhu gave him the task of protecting the perimeter of the palace to give him a chance to prove his loyalty and ability.
Zhu Biao said to Zhu Di warmly: "Brother knows that you don't like to talk. But now is the time to discuss important matters, so you still have to speak out if you have any ideas."
Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "This matter must be difficult to handle. Otherwise, the emperor would not send us. It is useless for us to discuss it here until dark. It is better to go to the commander separately and ask about the situation. They may not be The lack of ability may just be because I don’t want to offend others.”
Zhu Bai raised his head and glanced at Zhu Di: It must be me, Emperor Yongle.
These big brothers' words about the time of a stick of incense are not as effective as Zhu Di's words.
What is the first rule when entering the workplace? Ask your seniors for their opinions!
What is the first thing to do when entering the battlefield? Survey the enemy's situation!
It's useless to sit here and discuss it.
Only when you go to see it on site can you understand what problem you are facing.
Several other princes finally came to their senses, agreed, and then stood up to go.
Zhu Bai also stood up.
Zhu Biao smiled: "Where do you plan to go, my twelfth brother?"
Zhu Bai grinned: "I will go wherever my fourth brother goes."
Among these princes, Zhu Di is the most famous. Since he wants to watch the excitement, he naturally follows the Internet celebrity with the largest traffic.
Zhu Di glanced at him: "You can come with me, but I promise not to run around alone."
Zhu Bai: "Okay. I'll bring wealth with me."
Along the way, Zhu Di briefly talked to Zhu Bai about the composition of the Yingtianfu city wall.
Yingtian Mansion is actually composed of four circles.
The outermost one is called Wai Guo.
From the outside to the inside, there are the inner city wall, the imperial city, and the palace wall.
On that day, when Zhu Bai and the others pulled out the flag, they actually entered the palace from Chengtian Gate in the imperial city, and then ran inside the palace wall.
Although it is the smallest circle, it covers an area of more than one square kilometer.
In fact, the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities is in charge of matters within the walls of Yingtian Mansion and outside the Imperial City.
The North City Soldiers and Horses Department is located near Shence Gate. Its jurisdiction is probably from Shence Gate to Chaoyang Gate, including most of the imperial city wall.
Zhu Di deliberately did not ride a horse and walked slowly in Beicheng while watching.
Zhu Bai followed him with his hands behind his back.
Although Zhu Di is quite tall, he is only fifteen years old after all.
Zhu Bai was even worse. He couldn't even see him without looking down.
Those who knew also knew that the newly appointed Assistant Director and Commander-in-Chief of the North City Military and Horse Department were inspecting the territory.
Those who didn’t know better thought the two children were hanging out.
