Officials below the third rank can also be induced by promotion, but for officials above the third rank, it is enough to be able to maintain their current status during their lifetime. Not everyone wants to be a prime minister.
The prime minister is like the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. She has to serve her parents-in-law and take care of her children and grandchildren. She also has to maintain the relationship between the various houses in the house. She has to take care of each one and it is difficult to take care of them. She must be responsible for everything that happens. It is really difficult to be a prime minister. .
In fact, when you reach the third rank, you will be surrounded by endlessly honorable court officials and a group of court officials. They will live in eight seats at the same time. Even the monarch has to call you dear. Isn't it better than being a daughter-in-law who gets angry from both sides?
For this kind of people, only spiritual things can stimulate them to continue to work hard. Zhao Wenjing has already made up his mind to be an upright minister. Not to mention Hu Weiyong and other court officials, even the emperor and prince dare to be tough. Sorry, it can be seen that there is no intention to seek further development.
Zhu Biao wrote the outline of the edict, stamped it with the prince's seal, and sent it to the Zhongshu Province. After it was approved by the Zhongshu Province, he went to the Office of the Hanlin Imperial Academy to add words to the edict and sent it back to Zhu Biao for stamping. The seal left by Lao Zhu was then recorded in the eucalyptus by the Ministry of Personnel, and finally officials from the Hanlin Academy or the Ministry of Rites came to announce the decree.
Seeing that His Royal Highness had finally finished writing, Liu Jin hurriedly waved to several palace maids to come in with pastry boxes: "Sir, I see that you didn't use much in the palace just now. You are tired from the bumpy ride back, so please use some pastries."
It was rare to get out of the palace to eat food cooked by the imperial chef, so naturally he didn't have much appetite. Zhu Biao nodded slightly and placed plates of exquisite pastries on the table.
Honey-pickled kumquat, pomegranate flower cake, fish paste cake, snow chrysanthemum and osmanthus cake, hibiscus and lotus seed cake, plus a glass of plum wine, and two plates of seasonal fruits. It looks great, but tastes nothing new, but it’s not disappointing at all. of.
"Read it."
"Nuo" Liu Jin took out a piece of letter paper from his arms and read it quickly. In fact, with his memory, after reading it once, there would be no mistakes within at least a few days. But who asked His Highness to tell him to read it? .
The content is actually nothing special. It is the price of goods in Beijing. The pro-military governor's office has to record and report it every day. Zhu Biao will not ask about it every day, but he will still listen to it every now and then.
The prices of basic items such as salt, grain, cloth, etc. can reflect the problem very well. The capital is the capital of the world and will react immediately to any disturbance. For example, during the Jiangnan Eucalyptus period, the price of grain and cloth rose sharply.
At this moment, there was a call at the door. Liu Jin raised his head and glanced slightly, then stopped to report and stood aside and loudly announced that people were coming in. Shang Honghai, the commander of the pro-army command, walked in quickly and knelt down on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Liu Jin waved slightly, and all the maids serving in the palace withdrew, leaving only a few tall eunuchs standing silently with their heads bowed on both sides. If Shang Honghai dared to make the slightest move, they would immediately capture him.
It can also be seen that Zhu Biao's trust in him is still limited. It will take at least several years or several great achievements for him to get the dignity and rewards that a confidant deserves.
The trust of the Crown Prince and Crown Prince is the most precious dignity and reward in the world.
"I am reporting to Your Highness that I will receive a secret message from Goryeo. Your Highness, King Qi, was struck by an arrow and fell from his horse. It is suspected that someone was assassinated. Although there is no danger of life after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician, he will have to stay in bed for at least three months."
Zhu Biao's expression did not change. This was not too unexpected. Two imperial doctors were specially arranged to accompany him to deal with such a situation, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
I thought it would take at least more than a month before I would attack Zhu Di, but it seemed I couldn't bear it any longer. Could it be that Zhu Di was performing too well? Or was it really an accident?
The battle formation is changing rapidly, and the chance of being lost by mistake has always been high. For example, in the Battle of Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang stuck his head out of the boat to direct the battle, but was shot by a stray that flew from nowhere, pierced his head, and died instantly. .
He was not worried about Zhu Di's life, because in the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Di was just a young prince with more than a dozen brothers up and down, and there would be more in the future. There was nothing special about him.
It's nothing to kick him out in order to fight for power, but if it really kills him, it will lead to huge disasters. Even if Zhu Biao just wants to express his feelings to his father, he will kill all the beneficiaries of this battle. Kill them all.
Thinking about it, those people weren't that stupid. They would set themselves up to kill a prince whose symbolic meaning was greater than its actual meaning.
Zhu Biao actually doesn't know who was behind it. It could be Li Chenggui, Li Renren, Yao Guangxiao, Jiang Side, the Empress Dowager Mingde, or even Naha Chu.
They all had more or less reasons to attack Zhu Di, but they just had different intentions. Li Chenggui wanted Zhu Di to stay behind and be a mascot, Li Renren didn't want the Ming Dynasty to be too involved in Goryeo, and Empress Dowager Mingde didn't want the Ming Dynasty to get involved. Wang's rule over Goryeo.
Yao Guangxiao and Jiang Side may have expressed their loyalty to Zhu Biao. As the prince's ministers, they did not want to see the vassal king become powerful. There is nothing wrong with suppressing them. As for Naha, it may be to vent his anger or provoke him. After all, He is destined to lose everything in Liaodong and Goryeo, and willfulness is his last right.
The big shot who landed in the air was always repulsive, and his arrival meant that he had to eat a big piece of meat. It was not easy to hurt Zhu Di with the protection of the Fujun guards. Perhaps it was the tacit understanding of everyone.
In the past few months since the start of the war between Liaodong and Goryeo, Zhu Di has performed well. Leading troops in battle really depends on talent. Some people have been fighting all their lives, while some people only need to stand on the battlefield. He just sees the whole situation clearly and knows how to win.
Lao Zhu Xuda often meets Chun Lanyu. Are these people the queens of generals? Have you read any military books since you were a child and learned any tactics? The fact is that in a very short period of time, they have grown into a group of people who are most skilled at fighting in the world, and they have conquered an entire world.
Zhu Di obviously also has this talent. Although he did not have the opportunity to lead the army during the Northern Expedition with Zhu Biao, he still learned a lot, which he showed on the battlefield of Goryeo.
It was precisely this talent that prevented Zhu Biao from targeting Zhu Di. Historically, Zhu Di showed no mercy to Zhu Biao's children after his difficult success.
Needless to mention Zhu Yunzhen, the third son Zhu Yunzhen was demoted from the king of Wu to the king of Guangze County. Not long after, he was deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in Fengyang with the fourth son Zhu Yunzhen, the king of Heng. The two brothers died suddenly one after another.
After the fifth son of King Xu, Zhu Yunxi, was demoted, he lived with his mother in Zhu Biao's mausoleum. When he was sixteen, the mansion caught fire for no reason, and Zhu Yunxi was burned to death...
The eldest daughter, Princess Jiangdu, was demoted to the title of princess, her husband was executed, and Princess Jiangdu died of melancholy. Zhu Biao's second daughter, Princess Yilun, was married to Yu Li, a small royal guard.
The third daughter, Jingyi, died suddenly, while the youngest daughter, Princess Nanping, never married...
Not only did he want to be cruel to his children, but he also wrote and published "Fengtian Jingnan Ji" by himself:
"In the early days, Prince Yiwen did many things that were unethical and disobedient to Taizu. Taizu tried to supervise his actions, but often retreated with complaints. He often cursed in the palace, and suddenly there was a sound and the lights and candles were extinguished. He was not afraid at all. . He is also good at recruiting more than 3,000 warriors to guard the East Palace."
"When Taizu heard about it, he expressed his filial piety and said to Queen Gao: "I have gone through hardships with you to become an emperor. Now that the eldest son has done this, he will worry about the country. What can I do?" The Queen said: "The world's affairs are serious, and I dare not tell you. Your Majesty will review it. Taizu said: "No one is as benevolent and filial as King Yan. Moreover, he is talented in both civil and military affairs and can care for the country. I am interested in him."
Poor God, Zhu Di still gave some face to his brother, but made him into a rebellious and unfilial prince who did not take advantage of Taizu's wishes. However, he did not do this to his nephew, Zhu Yunwen, the target of Fengtian's impeachment. You're welcome.
"It is said that he often took promiscuous drugs, which made him sick and his blood was crazy. He was not able to protect the old women, and even tied up the goats and sows for sex. He was obsessed with wine and sex, and his days and nights were endless. When he came to court, his spirit was dim, and he bowed his head and leaned on the eucalyptus. He could only count the numbers. It’s just a matter”
