Zhu Biao smiled helplessly when he heard Li Shanchang's words. The reason why he had to work hard was because of responsibility. Otherwise, it would not be easy for Zhu Biao to have fun with his status.
Are all the Mingjuns and Holy Lords in history fools? They don’t know how happy it would be to indulge in sex, wine and meat, but they still choose to work hard to handle the world’s official affairs.
Take Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace for example. He has become the supreme king in the world, but in fact he has never enjoyed an easy life in his life. He had to fight for food when he was a boy, for his career as a youth, and for his royal family in his middle age. But now, he still chooses to fight for his children and grandchildren and the people.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that doing things like this would harm his body. He had to do it as a last resort. Life is short but only a few decades. If he didn't deal with these things, then he would leave them to his children and grandchildren to deal with. He always wanted to do more by himself. Let the children and grandchildren enjoy happiness.
Zhu Biao wanted to do more and lay a foundation for the Ming Dynasty. Even if Zhu Ming died in the end, the new dynasty would be able to continue China's dominant position instead of falling into a humiliating history.
Zhu Biao thought a lot. The prosperity of the dynasty is actually irreversible. Even with him around, the demise of the Ming Dynasty is probably doomed. Everything will become decayed with the passage of time. No matter how excellent the system is, it cannot guarantee the people's hearts.
No one can control their own descendants. Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang spent six years writing the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions", which stipulated all aspects of the behavioral norms for his descendants. However, after his death, Zhu Di did not take into account the legacy left by his own father. It is stipulated that the descendants of the Zhu family in later generations did not care about the instructions of a tablet.
Zhu Biao was not prepared to think so much. After all, he would love his sons and grandsons after being killed for five generations. As for those further behind, he had no control over them.
And if they do well, there is no need to worry about being overthrown. No one is willing to risk beheading to rebel. If they do poorly and make the people of the world miserable, then it is time to change the dynasty. Zhu Biao also No complaints.
I just hope that the new dynasty will not be Manchu and Qing Dynasty, and can continue Chinese orthodoxy and continue to be the center of the world.
Zhu Biao smiled and said to Li Shanchang: "Thank you Li Guang for your concern. I will pay attention to it. It is true that I have a lot of waste to do and my father is also working hard. How can I dare to say that I am tired when I am young."
Li Shanchang praised: "Your Highness's benevolence and filial piety are really a blessing to our Ming Dynasty. However, as the foundation of the country, Your Highness still needs to take care of himself."
Zhu Biao did not refute. He naturally knew how important his life was to the Ming Dynasty, so he would ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis every half month. He also paid great attention to his physical health. He went to bed early and got up early and exercised more. He was so old, let alone the palace maids around him. , even the ancestral craftsmanship from the previous life was lost.
Zhu Biao said to Li Shanchang: "The Prime Minister also knows the purpose of my coming here. I need a suitable candidate for my mission to Korea. I am not familiar with the officials in the DPRK. Please ask the Prime Minister to recommend one."
Li Shanchang stroked his beard and pondered for a while and said: "The people from the Ministry of Rites are the best candidates to go to the vassal country, but it is a pity that most of the ministers and ministers are too young. If we go to the bitter cold Goryeo, I am afraid that there will be no one on the way. The Ministry of Rites None of the others are suitable to be in charge, but Jiang Side, the household servant who has just taken office, is more suitable."
Zhu Biao heard the name sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered that he had seen a memorial written by him in the imperial study some time ago: "Is this person the former magistrate of Yuezhou?"
Li Shanchang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this man is just in his early thirties. He comes from a wealthy family. He came to seek refuge when the Holy Emperor conquered Yingtian Mansion. He is very methodical in doing things. He was originally planned to be transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he happened to meet Hu A major case in the department caused the Department of Household Affairs to be in urgent need of manpower, so we had to put him in the Department of Household Affairs first."
Zhu Biao thought that Li Shanchang would recommend a Huaixi official, but he did not expect that he was a descendant of a noble family. He thought about the report on this person and said: "From the report, it seems that this person managed the place well, and the people's livelihood in Yuezhou has been restored very well. "
Li Shanchang replied: "I have asked people to check the specific situation. It is better than what he reported. It may also be related to his family background. The local powerful are very cooperative."
Zhu Biao nodded: "Then let him meet me at the East Palace tomorrow morning. By the way, will removing him from the Ministry of Household Affairs affect the operation of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Li Shanchang smiled and said: "One person is not in the way. The rest of the people accompanying the envoy are from the Ministry of Rites. If His Highness wants to add more people, just give the order."
Jiang Side was a messenger on the surface and could not do much, and His Highness the Crown Prince only asked him for this one person, which showed that the Crown Prince had already made arrangements.
Zhu Biao nodded and talked with Li Shanchang for a while about the imperial examination. The day after tomorrow was the imperial examination, which he needed to watch personally. After that, it was his wedding, which naturally required him to take action personally.
Then he had to set off for Shanxi. Zhu Biao silently calculated his time. There were too many things that needed to be arranged. He could also be said to be the busiest prince in history.
As soon as he left Zhongshu Province, he saw the three brothers of the Zhu family walking towards him. Zhu Biao walked up to him and waited for his brothers to salute him. Although they were brothers, Zhu Biao was the prince, and the princes must first bow to him as kings and ministers. .
After the three brothers finished their salutes, Zhu Biao led them to the East Palace. On the way, he asked casually: "How is it going at the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works?"
Zhu Ming replied: "It's almost done. Food and grass from the Ministry of Revenue have begun to be transported, clothing to keep out the cold has also begun to be allocated to Fengyang, and the Ministry of Works has also sent people to Fengyang to burn charcoal."
Zhu Di asked from the side: "Brother, who is going with us?"
Zhu Biao said with his hands behind his back: "The details haven't been decided yet, so why do you have any candidates?"
Zhu Di shook his head. He only knew a few people. Zhu Fan on the side answered: "Brother, I think all the noble men in the capital want to go with you, and they are asking us a lot."
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Fan and said, "My father told you not to go out of the palace to play with those people. When did you get in touch?"
Zhu Fan laughed and said, "Brother, we have never gone out to play. We just asked the little eunuch to pass a few words at the palace gate.
Zhu Biao didn't care. He glanced at the three brothers and asked, "Tell me who is really capable outside."
The three brothers' eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity to send favors. Those outside were all looking forward to working for His Highness the Crown Prince.
Zhu Di said first: "Xu Yungong must be the first. He is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and he is also the most able to convince people outside."
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded. Xu Yungong was originally the target of his training. Unexpectedly, Zhu Di admired his uncle very much. It was rare for him to be so positive.
Zhu Xi said: "Chang Mao is also good, and Li Qi is also okay."
Needless to say, these two are both princes of the royal family. They are weaker than Xu Yungong among their peers, but they still stand out compared to the others.
