Zhu Xi and Zhu Di also nodded repeatedly. They were still underage and could not become a vassal, so they were still living in the palace, but after all, they were not young anymore, so they naturally wanted some freedom.
After all, although I can't see my father often in the palace, I am still under his nose. I don't dare to do anything. I am almost exhausted. I wish I could grow up quickly and become a vassal, and then let the birds fly as high as the sky. The sea is wide by the leaping fish.
Zhu Biao can understand them. Everyone wants freedom. What's more, they have seen the outside world and understand where the real fun is.
But Zhu Biao didn't dare to let down his guard. None of these three guys were good. Now in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and him, they were good babies, but if they were released, they would become unscrupulous demon kings.
If the dignified prince of the day is allowed to be supported and coaxed by those officials and dandies, he will not be able to do anything ridiculous in the end. In the final analysis, they are not mentally mature enough but they have huge power.
He still remembers some of the affairs of the Dasai kings in the early Ming Dynasty. Zhu Ping was also famous for his debauchery and immorality. As a vassal queen, he did many evil things and was ridiculous. He built a lot of construction work in the palace, wasted people and money, disobeyed his father's orders, and was treacherous. **Woman, although he has meritorious service in leading the army, he has done a lot of evil deeds.
Lao Zhu loved his son so much that even after his death, he still hated iron and steel. He was given a posthumous title of Han. What is Han? When the country is worried, it is called Min; when there is trouble in the country, it is called Min; when there is disaster and chaos, it is called Min; when it makes the people sad, it is called Min.
The third child was stronger than him, but he also did evil things in the fiefdom, such as binding people with galloping horses and breaking up chariots. He often whipped the servants around him for trivial matters, but in the end his merits outweighed his faults.
The fourth child, Zhu Di, is even more famous, but there are no evil deeds spread. They are all about the heroic, intelligent and decisive deeds of young men. But Zhu Biao doesn't believe it. The times are like this, and Zhu Di has a good reputation. With his handwriting after becoming emperor, history is ultimately written by the victors. Except for the conspiracy to usurp the throne, no one can wash away the other details and no one dares to pursue them.
There is no need to go into detail about the rest of the younger brothers. There are also many who have done more evil. To be honest, these should be killed according to the law, but so what. They are the emperor's own sons, the current princes of Tianhuang nobles, and the law There is no way to restrain them. This has been the case in all dynasties. It has always been a lie that princes break the law and commit the same crimes as the common people.
If that day comes, what should I do with you?
Zhu Biao looked at his brothers with a somewhat deep look. The three people who were chattering away felt cold and silently closed their mouths. They didn't know where they said the wrong thing.
As the younger brothers grow up, these have become a problem. In the future, Zhu Biao will also have a son. Sooner or later, he will have to make a decision. Maybe he did it for his younger brother, but what about his son and grandson?
Zhu Biao came back to his senses. It was better not to think about this eternal problem. In an era when power was greater than the law, no matter what was useful, these three guys also had the best education, but they were not reckless in the fiefdom.
Zhu Biao looked at his somewhat frightened brothers and said, "It's not impossible to live out there. After all, they are all about to get married."
The three of them nodded repeatedly, but knowing that his eldest brother must have something to say, Zhu Biao drank a glass of wine: "The government will soon purge officials. After you leave the palace, you are not allowed to have contact with any officials of the court, let alone accept gifts. , and you are not allowed to go to Qingliu Gambling House."
Zhu Xi grinned and said, "Isn't it the same as in the palace? Brother, we don't accept gifts and don't see officials. The rest is just for us to gain knowledge."
Zhu Tie said: "It's really worthless. You know that kind of thing, my second brother. If you don't visit the brothels and gambling houses, why can't you go out to hunt in the city? There is a lot to do outside the palace."
Zhu Di was still diving, and Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously. There was no way to take care of them. Sooner or later, they would be let out. It was better to keep them under the nose and take a look. If it really didn't work, we would think of a solution.
They left after a while. After all, with Chang Luohua here, they couldn't stay in the East Palace. After Liu Jin sent them back, he said with some worry: "Your Highnesses are young, and there have been a lot of things going on in the court recently. I'm afraid someone will go out of their way to come here." To get close to them, why don’t you go down and make arrangements?”
Zhu Biao waved his hand: "Don't stop them, but you must pay close attention to who will approach them specifically and what their purpose is. Don't be careless in reporting daily."
Liu Jin felt relieved knowing that his prince had plans, and went to see Quan Xu as soon as he promised. Quan Xu had also been running in both directions recently. The orphans he had collected were all a bit young, and they had been placed in Zhuangzi outside the city. It was nominally the pro-military captain's mansion. reserve army.
The maids cleared the table, Zhu Biao got up and said a few words to Chang Luohua, watching her fall asleep before going to rest elsewhere. In the past two days, Chang Luohua had gone from lethargy to neurasthenia, and would wake up at the slightest disturbance. , Zhu Biao slept honestly, but there was quite a lot of noise when he got up every morning, so he had to sleep in separate rooms.
Early the next morning, Yun Jin Nuan Tie served him to dress and wash, and then went to court after having several exquisite breakfasts. He chatted with Hu Weiyong in front of the Fengtian Palace for a few words. Zhu Biao noticed that the officials of the Six Ministries were vaguely interested. It means becoming independent with the official minister as the main body.
This is quite interesting. It seems that Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong's lack of help last time had a great impact on them. However, they are still under the command of Zhongshu Province no matter what. It is not easy to stand on their own. Wang Guangyang doesn't care, and Hu Weiyong will not let go easily.
When he reorganized the government offices last time, he slightly increased the powers and responsibilities of the six departments in order to integrate the powers and responsibilities, but it seemed that he was misunderstood. Zhu Biao glanced at Du Qingyuan, the official secretary of the Ministry of Personnel. Could it be that the heavenly official thought he wanted to Want to support Yang Xian to check and balance Hu Weiyong?
Without thinking too much, Zhu Biao glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment again. He was afraid that this person would not be able to escape. Soon Yan Dong, the minister of Dali Temple, would impeach the capital prison. Once a thorough investigation was carried out, most of the officials of the Ministry of Punishment would escape. But go ahead, even if the Minister of Punishment is not involved in corruption or bribery, he still has the crime of being lax in his governance and condoning leniency.
After pulling out the carrots and bringing out the mud, starting with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment, the six ministries will be thoroughly investigated and purged. At that time, they will also have to ask for help from the Zhongshu Province. The plan of the Minister of Personnel is somewhat wrong. He looks like Hu Weiyong. Will protect him.
After a while, the sound of drums gradually started to sound, and the gate of Fengtian Palace opened, and all the civil and military officials walked in neatly. Zhu Biao led them to kneel down and said: "My sons (ministers and others), please see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."
After everyone returned to their respective places after bowing according to the rules, Wang Guangyang stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, we received an urgent report from Shaanxi last night. There is a shortage of water in the area and there are signs of drought. The people's crops have suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid they won't be able to survive." The autumn harvest is here.”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Immediately dispatch food from Shanxi, and transport 100,000 shi there first to prevent unexpected events. If there is no rain, we will prepare for disaster relief."
