The women in Zhu Biao Palace are all contented, and of course, they have to be contented. The Crown Princess is of noble birth, her father is the Duke of Kaiwang, and she has given birth to two grandsons. The emperor and the queen value her very much and reward her constantly. , there is no room for them to make trouble.
Besides, Chang Luohua is not a fool. He who sets the rules here has already taken care of these people. No woman who comes in in the future will be born higher than Li Yan and Wang Rui, and her love will be impossible. There are those that are higher than Yun Jin Nuan Yu.
Unless a woman can seduce Zhu Biao, as time goes by, Chang Luohua will also be close to the level of Queen Ma. Of course, in the harem, Queen Ma's prestige among the civil and military officials in the court is unmatched by others. copy.
To be honest, for those founding nobles, the influence of Zhu Biao, the crown prince and crown prince, is probably not as high as that of his own mother. After all, Queen Ma has carried out the eldest sister-in-law as a mother to the end in those years. Who has a high-ranking wife? Who has never been under the care of Queen Ma as a child, and who has not worn two pairs of shoes, socks and linings sewn by Queen Ma herself.
These are all real feelings. Some of the nobles were dissatisfied and some were not angry. Some were directed at the imperial policy, and some were directed at Lao Zhu, the former eldest brother. But I have never heard anyone have the slightest complaint against Empress Ma. Never. .
Zhu Biao's position as Crown Prince is stable. In addition to his father's unwavering support, Empress Ma's affection and kindness from top to bottom also played a great role. Maybe you can't see it at ordinary times, but in critical moments, it actually matters. Stronger than anything else.
Children and grandchildren benefit from the kindness of their parents and this is nothing more than this...
Zhu Biao stepped into Wang Rui's room to take a bath, and after a lot of hard work, he inevitably got up a little late the next day, changed clothes and had a meal in a hurry, and then hurried to the front hall.
It was quite timely. Zhu Biao arrived just in time for the last drumming. If other officials had arrived so late, they would have been impeached. However, the prince and the prince were later, so everyone pretended not to have seen it. It was Yu Shiyan. Officials are not that ignorant.
Zhu Biao nodded calmly to the officials on both sides who were bowing and bowing to greet him, and then walked to the front to say hello to Hu Weiyong.
After standing still, he took the initiative to raise his hands to the smiling face of Zhongshan King Xu Da and said: "Yesterday I was supposed to go to greet Uncle Xu, but I was detained by my father to plow the land for more than an hour. Then I found out that Uncle Xu has returned home..."
Xu Da, who just returned to Beijing last night, solemnly returned the gift and then said with a smile: "I didn't do anything when I went out this time. I asked Lao Chang to take care of everything. How can I afford His Highness's personal welcome when I come back in despair?"
Hu Weiyong on the side came over and stroked his beard and said: "Commander Xu is guarding Hejian and taking charge of the rear army. Only then can all the people in the court sit back and watch the battle in the north. Commander Xu and Commander Chang are really the best in our Ming army."
Xu Da cupped his hands towards the Fengtian Palace and said, "Xiang Hu has given you too much praise. We are just rough people, and we only have some meager merits because of the talents of the superior leaders. We dare not take the credit."
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Uncle Xu is too modest. I agree with what Xiang Hu said. Not to mention it is a double wall. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a jade pillar bridging the sea and a golden beam."
Xu Da quickly took a step back, saluted with a long body and said with a bitter smile: "Your Highness, please stop teasing me. All my colleagues are watching."
"Hahaha, it seems that Uncle Xu is sorry. Let's wait until tonight. When Uncle Xu comes back, my father will definitely let you drink. I guess my mother will cook two dishes."
After talking and laughing, the civil and military officials behind the scenes were jealous. How many people in the government and the public could ask the prince to compliment him and show his closeness on such an occasion? From this point of view, it is basically certain that the Xu family's century-old glory and prosperity will last forever.
After blowing the whip several times, Zhu Biao returned to his original position. The civil servants and generals quickly adjusted the sleeves of their court uniforms, then neatly stepped into the Fengtian Hall, worshiped according to the rules, and began the morning pilgrimage.
In fact, it makes sense whether Zhu Biao could welcome him or not yesterday. After all, Xu Da's qualifications were here, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He had already interfered enough in military power, although his father didn't care and was even happy to do so. It's done, but I can't bear the thought of someone down below.
As an emperor and a courtier, the person in power is sometimes coerced by the supporters below. After all, everyone is gathered together because of common interests and goals, such as Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate incident and Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe.
At that time, their own will was actually not that important anymore. Some people would persuade them with all kinds of grandiose principles, and some people would think that they were the masters and just do their own thing, because their choice was too small and their opportunity time was too small. Not enough, the power of being a dragon is fleeting.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang is at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the dragon's power is overwhelming all over the world, and the world is subordinated to foreign vassals. However, as he gets older, the power of the East Palace continues to expand, and there will inevitably be conflicts and collisions in terms of military and political power.
The most hateful thing in the world is the person who seeks personal gain in the name of your good. There are not many people under Donggong in the center now. Both civil and military affairs have been basically delegated to the place by Zhu Biao. One is to temper and the other is to suppress. That is not the case now. Great time to use them.
Zhu Biao stood on the imperial steps and glanced at Chen Youzong and Yan Dong. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his eyes and listened quietly to the reports from various ministries.
The Minister of Household Affairs reported that there are 477 places producing Bacha in Sichuan, 2,386,943 tea plants, and 315 tea farmers. It is advisable to order ten Guanju plants for each tea. First, the Ranxu Tea Garden and Farm were the property of the former Xia royal family, and I didn’t know how to collect them.
Zhu Yuanzhang directly ordered: "The tea gardens without households are cultivated. In the former Xia Dynasty, the imperial family property was divided into ten points and the officials took four of them, and the six points were handed over to the Guiyi Marquis Mansion."
Ming Sheng, who was ranked last among the nobles, immediately came out to refuse, but Zhu Yuanzhang rejected it. Ming Sheng had been demoted not long ago and was an honest person. He naturally wanted to set an example, but Ming Sheng would rather die than accept it. The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs were naturally reluctant to do this. The fat man who dumped his mouth added fuel to the flames and finally decided that eight of them would be selected as officials and two would be retained as marquis of Guiyi.
Naturally, Ming Sheng burst into tears of gratitude, and the civil and military court officials once again congratulated the emperor on his benevolence. Afterwards, the court meeting continued. Everyone was not surprised by the result. They all knew that Ming Sheng was admired by the prince and donated another sacred horse to him. Your Majesty.
I just don’t know how long this relationship will last. If it lasts for two generations of kings, then even though Mingsheng has no contribution to the founding of the country, he will be enough to gain a foothold among the nobles in the capital. After all, everyone will be the same after a hundred years. Decent people also have in-laws.
If it only lasts a few years, then these two divisions will be the source of disaster, and the outcome of the Guiyi Hou Mansion will not be too good. Not everyone is qualified to share the benefits with the imperial court.
The Ministry of Household Affairs reported that there was heavy rain in Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture, Fujian Province, and the mountains and rivers overflowed the cottages. The Nanping County Magistrate died in danger while on patrol. The Yanping Magistrate requested that the two counties be exempted from taxes and that the Nanping County Magistrate be granted a seal.
Zhu Biao frowned when he heard this report. This Nanping County magistrate was the official he promoted when he moved to Fengyang. He had outstanding ability and strong sense of responsibility, so he was promoted to an official in an unusual way. Although he has not been promoted to an official in the past few years, It was a great achievement, but he did his duty well, and he didn’t expect that he would die like this.
Some informed officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs immediately came out to ask for credit for the Nanping County Magistrate. The Ministry of Personnel also listed the trivial political achievements he had made in the past few years. If he were alive, even if he had the support of the prince, he would not be able to get them. After all, they have to maintain the orthodoxy and dignity of the imperial examination, and the difference between officials and officials is not a trivial matter.
But now that he is dead, and his death is quite meaningful, it doesn't matter if you say good things for him. After all, the young master above him has to be coaxed, so that he can have room to speak in the future.
This was a person promoted by Zhu Biao himself, so naturally he wanted to talk, so he turned sideways and bowed to his father, and said a few words about that person's original achievements, which were not really worth mentioning. , but when Zhu Biao, the prince, spoke, it was naturally different.
Lao Zhu was also unambiguous. He rewarded him with a hundred taels of silver for the funeral, gave him an official promotion to two ranks, and buried him. He granted his wife the title of "Yinzi", and allowed his eldest son to study in the Imperial Academy, and his second son to serve in the military guard of the government.
Zhu Biao led the civil and military forces to worship him. No matter how talented or talented they were, they all had to remember the kindness that the prince had shown to their father in the past, and even more so the prince's great kindness in asking his father to be buried in the court today.
According to today's customs, it can be said that the contract of loyalty and filial piety has been completed, and Zhu Biaoxiao should live his life without regrets. The slightest hesitation is disgusting to both heaven and man. After all, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are all here.
