Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing: "Our good son, yes, the pro-military captain's office reported that Yang Xian's policies in Yangzhou were quite harsh, and the people were miserable.
Moreover, he reported that the fields in Yangzhou were fully re-cultivated, but in fact only half of them were re-cultivated. He also bought the Yangzhou barn with public funds from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and many other things, so there is no need to list them one by one. listed. "
Zhu Biao frowned and said, "This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. He should be beheaded as a warning to others, but his father still rewarded him and transferred him to Zhongshu Province."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and said: "But it is true that he can make the refugees return to their hometowns and the cities and towns can recover. You have also seen what Yangzhou City looked like back then. Yang Xian did his best to revitalize Yangzhou regardless of the cost. This is true in our Ming Dynasty. It is unique and a model for all states."
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "But he still committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded solemnly: "Yes, so Yang Xian is still going to die, but not now. Liu Bowen is determined to retire, and no one in the court can deal with Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, so let's support Yang Xian first, let him force Li Shanchang away, and then stay The next Hu Weiyong is not worth mentioning."
Zhu Biao smiled and cupped his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang: "My father is a sage, and I, my son, worship me."
Zhu Yuanzhang accepted it happily, then looked at his son and said: "This is the way to be an emperor. When you are an emperor, you cannot be too fair. It is inevitable for ministers to fight with each other. All you have to do is sit back and watch, but you must It should be controlled within a certain range and the order should not be disturbed because of their fighting."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and pulled Zhu Biao around the room: "You think, if they work together, who can their opponent be? The only one left is the emperor. How can that be done? So if one faction is too strong, you have to support it." If another faction breaks out, they are in a stalemate, so they can only ask you to make the decision, so that the government can be stable."
Zhu Biao nodded obediently and listened carefully as Zhu Yuanzhang taught him the emperor's mental skills.
The father and son had a meal together. Zhu Yuanzhang had to deal with government affairs again, so Zhu Biao got up and resigned.
When Zhu Biao crossed the threshold, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "From tomorrow onwards, you will come to the Imperial Study Room every day, and you will also follow us to take a look at these government affairs."
Zhu Biao turned his head and promised happily. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew his son's interest in government affairs, but he could endure his loneliness and did not interfere in the government affairs just because of his favor. This was what satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace with satisfaction. Zhu Yuanzhang talked to him a lot, but did not mention his memorial on military reform. Zhu Biao knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was still thinking about it, so he did not continue to persuade him. The memorial had already been Explain the benefits clearly.
Zhu Yuanzhang is now worried about the Huaixi nobles. After all, the first step in reform is to lay off a large number of soldiers to relieve the court's food pressure. These are the lifeblood of the Huaixi nobles.
As soon as Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace, Yun Jin held up two brocade boxes: "These are the robes sent by the Kaiping Palace and the Changsha Palace."
Zhu Biao opened it with a smile, revealing two sets of exquisitely designed dragon-patterned robes. He looked at them for a few moments before letting them take them down.
After Chang Luohua comes through, the young lady from the Li family will also be welcomed into the East Palace with the etiquette of the crown prince's concubine. It is said that Li Shanchang has really thought deeply. Zhu Biao naturally knows the fate of his family, but now the Li family has a crown prince's concubine. Concubine, then at least the family will not be exterminated, not to mention that Li Shanchang will retire next year.
Zhu Biao sat on a chair, and Yun Jin knelt down beside him, gently tapping his leg and saying, "I seem to be very happy today?"
Zhu Biao reached out and poked Yun Jin's hair: "Well, my father has given me permission to go to the imperial study every day."
Yun Jin had been in the palace for many years, so he naturally knew where the emperor's study room was. It was the place where the emperor reviewed memorials and handled state affairs.
Yun Jin raised her face and smiled and congratulated Zhu Biao: "I am here to congratulate Your Highness."
Zhu Biao leaned back on his chair happily. This period of time was indeed boring, but it was also necessary.
The things that Zhu Biao could hear in the East Palace were all things Liu Jin went to inquire about. They were just rumors and there was very little concrete information.
But in the Imperial Study Room, you can definitely get in touch with the core of the Ming Dynasty's regime. Although important matters in the DPRK were debated at the court meeting, most of the decisions were made in the Imperial Study Room.
Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Jin who was standing aside and said, "Come out with me. I haven't given you a reward yet. What do you want?"
As soon as Liu Jin heard this, he knelt down in front of Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "It is already a great kindness for me to take this useless servant out to expand my knowledge. How can I dare to ask for a reward?"
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Okay, you have served me wholeheartedly all the way. Go and take my token and pick out a few things you like."
After hearing this, Liu Jin no longer refused, and simply agreed. Zhu Biao was very satisfied with this. The thunder and rain are the king's favor. Where is your turn to refuse? You can refuse the reward, but you can also refuse the punishment?
Zhu Biao didn't care and asked Yun Jin to lead Da Shuang'er to Kaiping Palace and Changsha Palace to deliver today's spring tea.
I have seen Chang Luohua and Zhu Biao, but I have no impression of Zhu Biao from Li Shan's family. I have to let people take a look no matter what.
Yun Jin was the smartest one, and she was relieved to go to Zhu Biao. Although she didn't care about the woman in the backyard, she didn't want to marry her two ancestors and cause trouble every day.
Sometimes Zhu Biao regretted that Yun Jin was not a man, and that his talent was wasted.
Yun Jin went to wake Nuanyu up, and then called several guards from the East Palace to leave the palace.
Nuanyu washed her face and went to serve Zhu Biao. She stayed with Zhu Biao last night without rest, but Yun Jin also loved her and asked her to go back to rest early in the morning.
Zhu Biao glanced at Nuanyu who was a little confused and asked: "You have been sleeping for most of the day, haven't you had enough sleep? Why don't you go sleep for a while."
Nuanyu hurriedly approached Zhu Biao: "Hey, no need, I'm ready to sleep."
Zhu Biao glanced at the lovely girl in front of him. Among the four, the one he trusted most was Yun Jin, and the one he loved most was Nuan Yu. The two girls also played their part, and the four of them never competed with each other for favor.
It's just that they are slaves after all, and they are living a happy life now, but in the future, when the crown prince and concubines come in, Zhu Biao will have to work outside again, and they will have to make a living with other women. Zhu Biao didn't want these girls who had served him for many years to be wronged.
I just wanted to raise money for them, so I asked Yun Jin to go and take a look in person. Women are the best at judging people. Zhu Biao had an idea in his mind. Chang Luohua thought it should be fine, but Miss Li didn't know. .
If those two are powerful, let Yun Jin and the others serve in the Wenhua Hall. This is Zhu Biao's study. No one can come in without Zhu Biao's summons.
