After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had the mind to deal with official duties and walked straight towards Kunning Palace. At this time, all he wanted to see was his wife. Who else could he say his thoughtful words to?

Zhu Biao went to sort out the memorials, and then asked the eunuch serving in Jinshen Hall to send the reviewed ones to Zhongshu Province, and then Shi Shiran returned to the East Palace. After experiencing this incident, Lan Yu's side It doesn't matter anymore.

While walking on the road, Zhu Biao asked casually: "Where is Mu Ying now? Has there been a message?"

Liu Jin, who was following closely behind, hurriedly said: "As for me, the Marquis of Xiping was ordered to inspect the Western Ordnance and Provisions. He sent a letter the day before yesterday saying that he has returned."

Zhu Biao nodded. It is estimated that Mu Ying has walked half the distance to the capital. Mu Ying is smart, decisive, and solves problems quickly without missing any omissions. Empress Ma praised his talents many times, which won Zhu Yuanzhang's high regard. In addition to his age, If it's suitable, then he will naturally become Zhu Biao's direct descendant.

After the Northern Expedition, Mu Ying was awarded the title of General of the Zhenguo and served as the Chief Minister of the Governor's Office. The following year, he was promoted to the Governor of the Governor's Office. You must know that the Governor's Office was the military center of the early Ming Dynasty and controlled the world's troops. It was a rare opportunity to hone one's skills there. Mu Ying also lived up to Zhu Biao's hope, taking one step at a time and making a steady career.

Speaking of Mu Ying and Lan Yu, they are simply the difference between good children from other people's families and bad children from their own family. Zhu Biao is planning to let Mu Ying and Lan Yu go out to suppress bandits this time. Traveling around the country is another kind of training. I also hope that the two of them can complement each other in personality.

Zhu Biao's Donggong Party is also divided into three parts: old, middle and young. The old ones are Grand Master Li Shanchang, Young Master Xu Da, Young Master Chang Yuchun, Young Master Youde, Deng Yu, Liu Bowen, Kang Maocai, Tang He and others.

In fact, these people are still direct descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang, but they just use the name of the East Palace to prove the prince's dignity. After all, without this name, they are already successful. Zhu Biao has no clear promotion or support for them.

The middle-aged generation includes General Affairs Secretary Chen Youzong, Dali Temple Qing Yan Donglai, etc., as well as Lan Yumuying, Zhao Yong and other generals who went on the Northern Expedition with him. These people are different from the older generation. Zhu Biao has promoted them all. This is also The real main force of the East Palace at present.

The younger generation includes Xu Yungong, Chang Mao, Li Qi and other distinguished descendants who followed him to Fengyang, as well as those new academic scholars such as Wu Bozong, Zhang Fan, etc. In the future, we may also include the descendants of the Jiangnan family.

These people are not of high rank now, most of them are sesame officials of the sixth or seventh grade and are scattered in various places, but they are all clean and they will be the cornerstone of Zhu Biao's governance in the future.

Nowadays, the older generation is gradually withdrawing from the political stage of the Ming Dynasty, and the middle age is the top priority. Zhu Biao had to carefully cultivate a few pillars, otherwise it would be difficult to take over the power vacancy created by the retirement of the older generation.

Zhu Biao kept thinking in his mind that the situation in the court was complicated and ever-changing. Lan Yu, Muying, Zhao Yong and others were staying in the capital. If they were accidentally involved in any case, even Zhu Biao would not be able to save them. He would kill Ma Su with tears. The situation is not impossible. After all, Zhu Biao cannot stand in the face of the general trend of purging officials just for a few people.

Especially after the Li Chun case, those patrolling censors must have seen the emperor's determination to purge the officials. The court will inevitably be more turbulent in the future, and the honorable nobles cannot stay out of the matter. Military commanders value righteousness, and it is easy to lead them when they enter. As a result, Zhu Biao had to make plans early.

After returning to the East Palace, Chang Luohua, who had already woken up, carefully accompanied Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao had no choice but to pull her over to comfort her. After all, she had her own bloodline, so she was sad how the child could be well.

What's more, Zhu Biao's anger was originally just to let the Lan family take a look. He had long heard that Lan Yu was not afraid of Chang Yuchun, his brother-in-law, but was quite in awe of his own sister.

As for Chang Luohua, it was common sense for him to express his views. After all, his direct uncle, Zhu Biao, would not be angry because of such a trivial matter. He took Chang Luohua to eat, and asked the imperial doctor to come over and take his pulse. After making sure that he was stable, he went to bed. .

Early the next morning, Zhu Biao got up to wash up and eat. After eating a few mouthfuls, Liu Jin came in and reported: "General Lan is kneeling outside asking to see His Highness. Do you want him to wait?"

Zhu Biao took a sip of millet porridge and said, "Let him come in."

Liu Jin immediately went out to pick up the person. He thought that Lan Yu would have to kneel for an hour before His Highness would meet him. After a while, he led the person into the palace. Just as Lan Yu was about to say hello, he saw the Crown Prince waving, and the maid beside him also placed a A pair of dishes and chopsticks.

Lan Yu swallowed. This was a bit unexpected, and he was not allowed to kneel down to feel at ease. However, he did not dare to go against His Highness's wishes. After bowing, he sat aside.

Zhu Biao looked at the frightened Lan Yu and sighed: "I guess you didn't use breakfast since you came so early. Let's use it together."

Lan Yu is still Lan Yu. Now that His Highness has spoken, he is not polite. Not only did he not eat his breakfast, but he was also not in the mood to eat last night's dinner. He was just thinking about what would happen today.

Now that he actually arrived at the East Palace, he felt at ease. He picked up his rice bowl and started eating. Although it was just porridge and side dishes to accompany the steamed buns, he ate very happily. Anyway, this was not the first time he had a meal with the prince.

Liu Jin on the side glanced at Lan Yu with envy. He was never qualified to eat at the same table with the Crown Prince in his life because he was just a slave. Even if he was the Crown Prince's personal person, he was still a slave. After all, ministers like Lan Yu were the same. different.

Zhu Biao ate little, so when Lan Yu saw him put down his chopsticks, he swallowed the food in his mouth, and lowered his hands respectfully. Zhu Biao did not let him continue eating, and stood up and walked straight to the Wenhua Hall. Lan Yu followed him with a low eyebrow. In the later people.

On the way, Zhu Biao glanced in the direction of Fengtian Palace. The memorial to impeach Li Chun should have arrived. The court must be very noisy at this time. The Tian family has no private affairs. To a certain extent, the emperor's benefactor is the benefactor of the court, not to mention the When it comes to the imperial concubine, there will definitely be many officials who will intercede for Li Chun, even if he broke the law...

Anyway, the reason is very valid, filial piety is greater than heaven, not to mention a trivial crime, the worst is a beating and banishment back to Fengyang. Their main purpose is to open a hole under the butcher's knife of purging officials. Once the hole is opened, it will never be used again. After making up for it, there will always be various reasons in the future.

In particular, the person who promoted Li Chun to the county magistrate was Hu Weiyong, the current left prime minister. He went to Fengyang in person to read the edict conferring the title of Marquis of Yihui, and he should also lend a helping hand now.

When the civil servants said this, the military generals would also speak up for the sake of Yihui Hou's noble honor in Huaixi. After all, what was the small crime Li Chun committed to them?

In the end, it is estimated that only Yushi Zhongcheng Han Qi and others will demand that Li Chun be severely punished in order to maintain the laws of the country. Therefore, these officials who study hard work are very useful. Without honest and stubborn people like them, the country will be in ruins. What does it look like?
