From the day the emperor's grandson was born, the Chang family has been the royal family in the true sense. To put it bluntly, if Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao die suddenly, then the current Chang family is fully capable of supporting the young emperor to ascend the throne. Chang Yu Chun, the King of Kaiping, will become the regent in a substantial sense.
Again, there is no such thing as absolute trust in politics, and human nature can never withstand the test. No matter what Chang Yuchun thinks in his heart, it doesn't matter.
The result is that there are gains and losses. After the grandson ascends the throne, the Chang family will inevitably divorce with the country. Even if there are unfilial descendants who make big mistakes in the future, future emperors will not kill them all, and even the duchy of their country will be lost. It will never be cut off, hereditary in the true sense.
But at least the two generations of Chang Yuchun and Chang Mao will no longer have the opportunity to get too involved in military power. Not to mention that the Tian family does not agree, the Wenchen Group will not be willing. After all, any factor that threatens stability deserves their vigilance.
In fact, a few days ago, the Yushitai and Zhongshu Provincial officials began to impeach Kaiping King Chang Yuchun. Smuggling was rampant in northern Xinjiang, and the generals guarding the passes were stealing. Chang Yuchun, as the general guarding the north, had The commander-in-chief is naturally guilty of neglecting his subordinates.
In addition to this incident, there are many other charges of attack, but they are not worth mentioning. The civil servant group is exerting force, while the generals of the Grand Governor's Mansion are in a state of silence. In fact, everyone has the same intention, hoping for stability... …
The father and son stood in front of the northern terrain map and discussed for a while, and then they were withdrawn for the afternoon. This battle was inevitable, but there was no need to worry too much. After all, they had been prepared for any possible accidents. Ming Dynasty was prepared for any possible accidents. Make appropriate preparation plans.
In addition to Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong who are in charge of Peiping, King Xu Da of Zhongshan is in charge of Hejian Prefecture, Duke Feng Sheng of Song Dynasty is inspecting Hetao, and Duke Deng Yu of Wei State should be arriving at Suzhou Guard soon.
Although the Ministry of War and the civil servants and generals of the Metropolitan Governor's Office had many discussions and believed that it was impossible for Mongolia to break through the defense line in the north of the Ming Dynasty, under Zhu Biao's compulsory request, extremely detailed preventive work was carried out to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Strategically despising the enemy and tactically paying attention to the enemy, this is what Zhu Biao left to the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office. The people in the north have not yet surrendered because the people have been exposed to the iron heel of Mongolia for a long time and do not trust that the Ming Dynasty can really protect them.
Therefore, even if it seems to be a thankless task, we have to do it in order to give the people in the north a sense of security to the greatest extent. Coupled with the continuous flow of civilian carbon transported to the north, the sense of security and warmth, I believe that the hearts of the people in the north will surely return as soon as possible. of.
As usual, Zhu Biao began to share the memorials for his father. The first one was the memorial from Qin Tianjian. It was said that there were stars in the night, as bright as a cup, green and red. From the mouth of Tianshi Yuan, there were three small stars that followed from the northeast to Tianshi Yuan. Not angry...
Zhu Biao reviewed it casually. He was used to the fuss of Qin Tian Jian. As long as there is a celestial phenomenon, no matter what the details are, it must be described as if there is a spirit from heaven to warn the people.
Then there is the memorial from the Ministry of War. Wang Fuke and others from Guangdong gathered together to flee and plundered Haifeng County, Huizhou. Guangdong Wei sent troops to capture and behead 122 people and captured 23 horses. Their party was defeated. Please ask your Majesty to know clearly.
Zhu Biao wrote down the details of promotions and rewards based on the specific report later. A soldier named Wang Wu charged forward and beheaded more than 20 people. He was the most outstanding one. The commander of the Guangdong Guard did not hesitate to praise him in the report. Biao Kan was so happy that in addition to promoting him to an official position, he also changed the five characters to Wu, hoping that he would continue his efforts.
This kind of thing that is exciting to Zhu Biao will bring about earth-shaking changes to the life of an ordinary soldier. If this person can continue to make progress in the future, his future is immeasurable. If he is content to keep to himself, then at least he will Even for a guard commander, his upper and lower limits have been raised.
Then there is the report from the Yushitai. In the early ten days of the month, there was a man in yellow singing on the Snake Tongue Rock in Jianchang, saying: The dragon and the tiger are dominating the mountains. The Red Emperor will rise again and conquer the Six Dynasties. In the end of eight hundred years, the king will regain his splendor and succeed Tang Yao!
After learning about it, the local government sent officers and soldiers to hunt him down, but the traces of the people were elusive and difficult to find. Many people spread the song one after another, and many scholars in Beijing also talked about it.
Zhu Biao frowned after reading it. These words are good words, but they must not be accepted casually. The unhealthy tendencies must be severely rebuked. Otherwise, if you make the court accept the people's belief if you say good things this time, then you will say bad things to the court next time. To answer or not to answer?
Zhu Biao directly replied in the tone of Zhu Yuanzhang: Those who understand reason cannot be deceived by gods and monsters, and those who uphold justice cannot do so by prophecies. The five benefits of Han Dynasty's writings are enough to serve as a warning. How can it be trusted when it involves monsters and delusions?
The world is so big that weird things will happen, and it takes a lot of energy to deal with them. After all, reviewing memorials requires keeping a clear mind for a long time.
When the lights in the palace were lit, the two of them had finished dealing with today's affairs. Zhu Biao stood up, stretched out and said with a wry smile: "Father, you should consider the minister's proposal as a minister in the palace. This memorial is more and more important." More and more."
Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed a little tiredly, not physically but mentally exhausted, but he still said: "Although the official position of the palace minister you mentioned is not high, but we are involved in such a confidential matter..."
In the end, Zhu Biao had no choice but to say goodbye. Lao Zhu's distrust of outsiders was engraved in his bones. No matter how hard and tired he was, he would not want to. Since it was him who really didn't want to, Zhu Biao couldn't let himself go and wallow. I can only continue to accompany you.
Fortunately, there is still the Zhongshu Provincial Department to share the pressure, but it is expected that after Hu Weiyong's incident, the Zhongshu Provincial Department will definitely be deposed. By then, whether his father is willing or not, he will definitely have to re-establish an organization.
After returning to the East Palace hungry, Zhu Biao went directly to Chunhua Hall, which is the current residence of Princess Goryeo. It is also a rather elegant courtyard that Chang Luohua had arranged long ago.
Looking at Zhu Biao, who was leading a large group of people to prostrate themselves in front of him, he reached out to help Princess Pingyang Wang Rui, who was dressed in a light red dress. In fact, according to the rules of the Goryeo royal family, Wang Rui should only be the princess or the head of the palace. After all, she is not a contemporary queen. daughter-in-law.
But who made her the only clan girl of the right age, so she became the noble Princess Pingyang of Goryeo and was sent here. This shows that fate makes people's lives unpredictable.
"The princess does not need to be so restrained in the future, and she does not need to pay homage to me when she sees me."
"The slaves of the vassal state enter the East Palace to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and do not dare to disrespect the etiquette in the slightest."
Zhu Biao was very polite, but Wang Rui despised herself to the extreme. Even the maids and eunuchs on the side had a bit of contempt in their eyes. Even if the princess of this country is not as noble as me, the Princess of Ming Dynasty, why should she despise herself so much? ?
I have long heard that this so-called Princess Goryeo originally worked as an ordinary slave in the Goryeo Palace. It seems to be true. Goryeo is really a barbarian land. How can such a woman be worthy of me, the Ming Dynasty Prince?
Zhu Biao started to frown when he heard this. No matter how she was before, from today on she is a talented person in the Prince's East Palace. What she is embarrassed about is not her own face, but the face of Zhu Biao and Chang Luohua. .
………………
Fortunately, Chang Yuchun has become famous, and Chang Mao is also a self-aware person.
The military power must be loosened, even to the generation of Chang Mao and his son.
