After Qian Tang was dragged out, the court was quiet for a moment. Now that the emperor's intention was clear, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was watching from above, if they continued to cause trouble, it would be nothing more than laying trouble for their descendants.
Although most people really hope that the prince will enter the court so early, there are also some who are happy, especially the younger officials with little foundation. For the big bosses, this is only an increase in risk, but for them it is an opportunity. .
At this time, Wang Guangyang also came to his senses and was not very angry. Compared to moving and being exiled, a mere kick in the butt was nothing.
His current strategy is to listen to the emperor when he speaks. If the emperor doesn't speak, then listen to Hu Weiyong. Of course, after the prince enters the court, Hu Weiyong will have to give way.
So he tidied up his clothes and stepped forward and said: "The Holy Prince came to the ministers on the day to listen to the affairs of the various ministers. Do you think you should hand over all the official affairs of the Zhongshu Province to His Highness, and then let the six ministers act according to the orders?"
Hu Weiyong's face did not change, he just took a deep look at Wang Guangyang's back. If this was the case, then what was the point of his hard work? He just let the prince lead Prime Minister Zuo.
Zhu Biao also took a serious look at Zuo Prime Minister Wang Guangyang, who had a sincere face. This guy was too obedient. No matter what others did from now on, it would be unreasonable for Zhu Biao not to protect him. He wanted the prince to step on him. Taking the position, he directly gave up his rights.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Guangyang with soft eyes and said: "We let the prince enter the court to familiarize himself with the operation of the court and practice state affairs. We do not want the prince to take over Zhongshu Province, so Wang Aiqing does not need to think too much."
Wang Guangyang smiled and said: "Old minister, how can I think too much about it? It is a great blessing for the country that the crown prince enters the court, not to mention that the prince Wen Cheng's martial virtue is well known in the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction. If there were no noble Huaixi nobles, he would really agree. However, it is not the time to let his son take the throne. The cake of the left prime minister should be left to Hu Weiyong, otherwise he will kill him. It’s Chinese New Year.
Zhu Biao also smiled and said to Wang Guangyang: "How can I hold a big position if I am not as good as a weak official? It is just a matter of studying in the court. If I can help my father to worry a little, it will be regarded as fulfilling my duty as a son. Please give me some advice from the left minister." "
The rest of the officials were much happier. They were not resisting the prince's entry into the court. After all, it was a matter of time. What they were afraid of was that there were two decision-makers in the court. Now that the prince had refused the position of General Secretary Zhongshu Sheng, they also I feel relieved.
Prince Chunxiao is not a person who is greedy for power, so I guess it was the Holy One who forced His Highness to enter the court. The Holy One can indeed do this kind of thing, but instead of doing this, it is better to give His Highness a few more women and let the country's foundation Continuation is the real thing.
Nothing happened after that. Officials from the six ministries reported official duties one by one, and Zhu Yuanzhang handled them as usual. He did not deliberately test Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao was also honest and had to pay attention to everything in a step-by-step manner.
After going to court, Zhu Biao was not in a hurry to have dinner with his father. Instead, he walked out of Fengtian Palace with the ministers, preparing to say hello to some people. After all, he had never been in court before, and he had nothing to say to the ministers.
It's different now. Whatever you want to do in the future, you need the cooperation of these people, otherwise Zhu Biao is made of iron and can drive a few nails. Zhu Biao was the first to walk up to Xu Da: "I haven't seen Uncle Xu for several months. Are you still well?"
Xu Da bowed and clasped his fists: "At the end of the day, I can still eat three bowls of noodles, five steamed buns and two chickens. Even if I fight a few wars with Mongolia, it will be no problem."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "That's good. Uncle Xu is the white jade pillar that supports the sky and the purple golden beam that supports the sea of Ming Dynasty. I will rely on King Zhongshan in the future."
Upon hearing this, Xu Da hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Highness is ashamed to kill the last general. How can you say this? Please rest assured, Your Highness, the last general will die exhausted!"
Zhu Biao complimented a few more, and then told Liu Jin beside him: "Send two carts of fine wine brought from Jiangnan to the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion."
After sending Xu Da away who was extremely grateful, Zhu Biao walked to Li Wenzhong on the other side and said, "Cousin, you also know about Jiangnan."
Li Wenzhong waved his hand quickly and said: "The imperial court's expenses were tight some time ago. I thought of them when I was discussing with Your Majesty. I wanted to use them to save the emergency. In the end, I thought wrong. It would be best for Your Highness to handle it properly. I would like to thank you more." ."
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Many people from Jiangnan are following me. If someone comes to visit me, there is no need to refuse. This is possible thanks to my cousin."
Li Wenzhong's eyes lit up and he bowed to salute. Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing, leaving only one sentence: "I'll go have a drink with my cousin in a few days."
Most of the remaining people were civil servants. They had greeted each other when they entered the city yesterday. Zhu Biao said a few words to his husband Song Lian, and then returned to the inner palace. He was a little confused on the way. Xu Da behaved normally, but Li Wenzhong was a little strange.
Although Zhu Biao hinted that he could accept some filial piety from the Jiangnan family, if Li Wenzhong still wanted to move up, he should refuse. After all, that little money was nothing.
According to Zhu Biao's understanding of his cousin, this shouldn't be the case. Could he be desecrating himself? But it shouldn't be. Although Li Wenzhong now has the tendency of cooking oil with flowers and brocade fire, he is a relative of the emperor after all, and with Zhu Biao here, he does not need to be too cautious.
What's more, his qualifications are much lower than those of Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu and others. It was only by following Zhu Biao's Northern Expedition that Chang Yuchun paved the way to his current position in the military, and he and Wang Guangyang also It's different, why are you thinking about your retreat so early?
Zhu Biao went straight to the imperial study room, but Lao Zhu was not there. The eunuch waiting on the side smiled and said: "The Holy One has taken away a few important memorials, and left the rest for His Highness to handle. Later, the official documents of the Zhongshu Province will also be send over."
Zhu Biao's eyes darkened when he heard this. He thought it would take a few days before he would be asked to deal with the memorial. He didn't expect it to be so soon, but there was nothing he could do. Someone brought another chair. Zhu Biao sat down and started to deal with it. .
It took an hour to finish processing. At this time, the memorial from the Ministry of Education was delivered again. Zhu Biao stopped writing and took a bite to eat, then walked around and went back to deal with it. Some emergencies would also be sent quickly.
After Zhu Biao has finished processing, he will send it to Jinshen Hall, where Zhu Yuanzhang is having a small meeting with officials from the Zhongshu Provincial Department. In the past, Lao Zhu used to receive officials in the Imperial Study Room while approving memorials, but now he can finally have meetings with peace of mind.
After everything was done in the evening, Zhu Biao took the last pile of reviewed memorials to the Jinshen Hall. When he got inside, he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was drinking some wine and checking the reviewed memorials, nodding with satisfaction from time to time.
Zhu Biao walked over and sat down and poured himself a glass. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh a few times and said, "You brat, you've only been working for a day and you find it troublesome? But you handled it well and with a sense of proportion."
