After Zhu Biao simply took a few sips of tea, he continued to review the memorial. Huguang reported that Wang Fo'er, a demon from Luotian County, claimed that Maitreya Buddha was born.

He wanted to observe the situation of mountains and rivers, and the local products far and near Esai and prefectures and counties. He ordered all provinces to draw drawings and present them every leap year. .
The Ministry of Etiquette reported that the King of Goryeo sent Lu Zhen, his secret judge, to express his gratitude for the gift of medicine, bait, fine cloth, and square objects in the East Palace of the Central Palace. The Empress Dowager Mingde also presented precious ginseng to ensure the safety of the princess's pregnancy.

The prefect of Chengdu reported that the restoration of Chengdu City was completed. On Wednesday, there were 279 garrison buildings on the city that were 1,600 feet high and 3 feet high...
Zhu Biao bent over the desk to review, and the time passed unknowingly. The emperor and the queen left Beijing for a northern tour, which was a big deal both inside and outside the palace, but to Zhu Biao, it was nothing.
Noon passed quickly, and when it was time to set the time, Zhu Biao was interrupted by an unbearable feeling of hunger in his belly. He looked at the pile of memorials, which not only did not get smaller, but also thickened a bit, and sighed.
"Pass the meal around."
Liu Jin, who had come back a long time ago and was scratching his head anxiously, responded quickly. He had been urging his father to have a meal since he came back. After all, breakfast was very sparse. Even if he had some refreshments in the middle, it was still not as good as eating.
Still following the rules set by Queen Ma, Zhu Biao's meals were very simple and tasted ordinary, but they also followed the golden mean. If they were neither good nor bad, they would not be gluttons.
After eating two cakes and a bowl of rice, Zhu Biao exhaled with satisfaction, thinking that after these critical days passed, more government affairs would have to be transferred to Zhongshu Province.
Not only to give Hu Weiyong a chance, but also because it is really difficult for one person to undertake such heavy government affairs. Not everyone is the iron-clad Emperor Zhu. If Zhu Biao follows his father's pace, I am afraid he will die from exhaustion sooner or later. In the palace.
Zhu Biao considers himself to have a strong character. Even though he is not as good as Lao Zhu, the founding king of the country, he should be among the best among the many emperors and princes in the past dynasties. Even he cannot withstand such hard work, let alone his descendants.
After finishing his meal, Zhu Biao walked slowly in the hall, recalling in his mind whether there were any omissions in the memorial he had just reviewed, and whether the implementation of the decree would cause other chain reactions.
While thinking about this, it was time to arrive at Youshi. Liu Jintong reported to Hu Xiang and six ministers to ask for an audience. Zhu Biao did not summon them at the Jinshen Hall, but instead ordered Liu Jin to take them to the Huagai Hall to wait.
Zhu Biao was not in a hurry to go. It was just a meeting between the power centers of the imperial court after the emperor left Beijing, and there was nothing substantial to discuss.
After the tea in the cup was gone, Zhu Biao got up and went to the side hall to change clothes. The court clothes were too solemn and solemn, which was not needed at this time, not to mention Zhu Biao's intention to let Hu Weiyong have more power.
He put on a robe with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves, embroidered with gold threads to form a pattern of clouds and waves, and the shadow of a dragon appeared faintly in the refraction of the sun. The crown on his head was also taken off, and it was simply tied behind his back with a gold ring inlaid with Dongzhu.
Zhu Biao moved his body with a contented look on his face, and then walked towards the Huagai Hall. Liu Jin followed behind him and said, "I just invited some of the ministers to sit down for tea."
"Um."
Except for the Jinshen Hall of Fengtian Hall, these court officials are qualified to sit wherever they are. Only those who have reached this level are qualified to secretly shout in their hearts: "I will help the king to rule the world, who else can I do!"
Zhu Biao stepped into the Huagai Hall. The so-called Huagai is one of the star officials in the constellations. It belongs to the purple micro-wall and is shaped like an umbrella. It has the duty of protecting the emperor and showing his power. Therefore, he is vigorous and lonely, admiring himself. He has no relatives and can rise and fall independently. This symbolizes Aloof, aloof, unattainable.
"I respectfully welcome the prince to his thousandth birthday."
"Haha, there is no need to be so restrained. Otherwise, why would I specially ask my dear friends to wait in this Huagai Hall?"
Zhu Biao passed them and went directly to the upper seat and sat down with a smile: "Just now Chen Aiqing was playing in the Jinshen Hall, but I refused to accept the seat offered by the palace, so I didn't meet with you in the Jinshen Hall."
Hu Weiyong sighed: "His Highness is so generous and kind, and all the ministers are so grateful that they shed tears of gratitude."
Naturally, the six ministers also had the same look, especially Chen Mingjie, the minister of punishments, with white hair looming on his temples. At this time, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was really about to burst into tears.
"Everyone, sit down."
After seeing them sit down respectfully, Zhu Biao said: "I have just reviewed the memorials for a few hours, and now they are still piled up. I think the same is true for several of my beloved ministers. The government affairs are heavy, and you and I, the emperor and the ministers, should support each other."
"How dare you not share your worries!"
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, and then began to praise Hu Weiyong, saying that those who are capable work hard. Hu is loyal to the monarch and the country, and is also the one who advises the imperial court on the national policy for the current ten years. All the six departments should try their best to cooperate.
Hu Weiyong stood up and begged for mercy, and the other six ministers said that they would obey the wishes of His Highness in everything and they would do their best to cooperate with the Prime Minister in governing the country.
"I feel relieved after listening to your words. It's also because I promised last year that I would take my concubines to the Purple Mountain for an outing after spring. Now they are making a lot of noise."
The Minister of Civil Affairs said with a smile: "Although His Highness has not yet uttered the Tianxian, he still made the most sincere words. Once he has made a promise, he should fulfill it."
The Minister of Rites pondered for a moment and said: "It is a trivial matter for Your Highness to take your family to the Purple Sun for an outing, but I kindly ask Your Highness to wait a few days. After all, the Emperor and the Empress are not far from the capital."
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "There is no rush for a day or two. It's just that the affairs of the Tea Horse Department, banknotes and the Marquis of Jiangyin need to be handled by me. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the rest of the government affairs.
………………
After some responses, the meaning that should be expressed was very clear, and they must have understood it. The Prime Minister led the Zhongshu Province to assist in government affairs, and the six ministries actively cooperated.
As for those officials who are still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, they will find excuses for pardon in three or four days, and some of those who made rude remarks must plead guilty and repent. As for those who are really stubborn, they will be demoted to the local people.
Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup. The Minister of Rites quickly stood up and said: "I have a happy event to report to Your Highness. Today, the king of Xuyi County has entered Ruimai with one stalk and two ears. It is a good harvest. The grain is long and the king is virtuous. The two seedlings will be beautiful together." Natural wealth, good fortune, and fortune are all signs of good fortune for the country and a sign of the Holy Age."
"The product of today's Ruimai is a sign that the emperor borrowed the spirit of vegetation to show the unity of the emperor and his ministers. It is also produced in Xuyi, which belongs to Linhao Imperial Township. It is a suitable place to recommend to the ancestral temple to show the ancestors' spirits, and the new wheat is recommended. The ancestral temple is in great condition."
"Your Majesty, the sun and moon have reopened the sky, and the prince's benevolence is known to the world. It is hoped that the two princes can live in harmony. The prosperous age is approaching, and I would like to congratulate your highness!"
The Minister of Rites said it enthusiastically. In fact, this auspicious sign was reported to the Ministry of Rites yesterday, but he deliberately suppressed it for one day. Now that the Holy Emperor is proud to pass on the national jade seal, he no longer likes the auspicious sign, even if it is reported to the Ministry of Rites, it will be no more.
And when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was appointed to officially supervise the country's governance today, he would be delighted to offer such auspicious auspiciousness. After all, it would be a good talk if it was spread out. Even if His Majesty knew about it, His Highness would not say anything.
The Minister of Etiquette had obviously said hello in advance, and a young eunuch at the entrance of the palace was about to come in holding a purple box covered with a yellow scarf and present it to the prince for auspicious viewing.
Hu Weiyong and the other five ministers naturally stood up and congratulated each other very cooperatively. Zhu Biao was silent for a moment, stood up and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take Ruimai as my palace. It must be attributed to the virtues of my father and ancestors, and to the officers and soldiers who have served with their lives." To defend the enemy from outside the country, we should also attribute it to the officials who are honest and thrifty and work hard day and night to govern the country and bring peace to the people at home!"
Zhu Biao waved his hand slightly and said: "This auspicious sign has two ears on one stem. Now take one ear and send it to King Zhongshan, take one ear and give it to Hu Xiangguo, and send the stem to the Holy Majesty."
The smile of the Minister of Rites was a little stiff, but Zhu Biao continued to give instructions: "Since auspiciousness is given to people by God, what is the use of it? Gu Nian Wang has six blessings, but he will be rewarded with six taels of silver for a piece of cloth, and the gift will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites."
