After the Minister of Punishment left, the central meeting after the emperor returned to the capital was hastily ended. With the prince supervising the country, many things were just a formality, and Lao Zhu did not inquire in detail.
After everyone retreated, the jade chariot swayed slightly, Zhu Biao stood up and approached his father. Lao Zhu unceremoniously reached out and pinched his son's chin and shook it a few times: "I asked you to supervise a country, but I almost collapsed from exhaustion. ”
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "The imperial doctor's words are inevitably a bit alarmist, and my father is not aware of it."
How is his son's health? Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang is most concerned about it. Not only is the relationship between father and son, but the Ming Dynasty is also in need of this prince. He has been cultivating the perfect heir with more than ten years of painstaking efforts. If something goes wrong, God may not be able to fix it again. Give him time to grow another one.
Zhu Yuanzhang let go of his hand with satisfaction. His son was older, and it was difficult to find a chance to get close to him: "You are very accurate about the affairs in Beijiang. If Kaiping is guarded, the rest will not be a worry."
"The beasts can be so deceitful that they only increase their laughter."
This was a bit full of words, but his son's insight was indeed very keen. Lao Zhu didn't say anything, just touched his short beard and said: "We originally expected that there would be no war in Northern Xinjiang for at least several years. It has only been a few months. It can be seen that man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.”
"What the father has mentioned is that I know it."
Lao Zhu reacted and laughed and scolded: "You brat, are you deliberately pretending to be here to fool me?"
The father and son joked for a few words, and then habitually lowered their eyes and became silent. It may seem strange to outsiders to retreat, but to them, this is the most familiar and stable state.
"Hu Weiyong went too far. Liyang is right at our feet, but he did it so disgracefully."
Zhu Biao nodded slowly: "During this period, he has been monopolizing all the power. It can be said that he has never been idle for a moment. He has been responsible for the promotion and transfer of various ministries and local officials in the court. He has great power and power, and it is inevitable that he will be a little greedy."
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment: "Biao'er, do you think we should capture Hu Weiyong now?"
"Originally, what we thought was that the people in Huaixi are too powerful and restless. It will be difficult for you to deal with both public and private affairs after you succeed to the throne. It will inevitably be restricted by them. Let us solve it for you."
"But now it seems that if our son is going to be successful, we don't need to kill too many old brothers."
There are too many, which shows that the intention is not not to kill, but to limit the killing within a certain range. Instead of targeting the big eucalyptus with unlimited implicature, it will target some honorable ministers who have crossed the line.
Zhu Biao did not answer directly, but asked softly: "Father, will the post of prime minister be abolished?"
In fact, from the beginning to the end, Zhu Biao did not really hope that the prime minister would be abolished. There are advantages to abolishing the prime minister, but there are also disadvantages. As for whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, in the final analysis, it depends on the emperor at the time.
His father had inexplicable confidence in his children and grandchildren, but Zhu Biao did not. Because of his experience, he understood better how satisfying it is for a person to be born in a noble family and hold power. No truly smart person would choose to be a so-called wise king. .
Mingjun is miserable, tired, and has no reputation. He is truly alone, so why bother?
Hu Weiyong represents not only the nobles of the Huaixi line, but also the officials up and down the court. The prime minister represents the ministers. In fact, the court has always been divided into monarchs and ministers.
The power of ministers is the power of the prime minister, and the dispute between the monarch and the prime minister is a contradiction that cannot be eliminated. The two parties have always been in a situation of ebb and flow, restricting and promoting each other.
If it were an ordinary king, it would be tolerated. After all, this has been the case since ancient times. The imperial power is naturally stronger than the power of the prime minister. Compared with risking the disapproval of the world and completely abolishing the prime minister, it is easier to use power to suppress a certain prime minister.
But what kind of temper Lao Zhu has, from beginning to end, he wants to solve it completely in one go.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond, and Zhu Biao did not ask any more questions. People's thoughts and ideas will change with the changes of the current situation. However, as someone in a high position shakes the world and the world with every move he makes, he has to be cautious.
"I'm going to pay homage to my queen mother."
"Well, go ahead and call the second, third and third sons to come over."
"promise."
……………
The emperor's instrument returned to the palace, and the people in the capital had a great time watching it today, and it was also lively for a while. No matter how the officialdom and the scholars viewed Emperor Zhu, they all respected him very much, and they had experienced the low life of a human being. Only in these troubled times do we understand how difficult it is to live in peace.
Zhu Biao helped his mother get out of the car, and Chang Luohua led a group of concubines to come forward to salute, followed by wives from other dynasties. When the queen returned to the palace, hundreds of birds paid homage to her, and the whole world was blessed with good luck.
"I, my concubines, respectfully welcome the Queen, the Queen, back to the palace. May the Queen be blessed forever!"
Queen Ma's face looked a little tired, and there were some slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, but this did not affect her unparalleled elegance. Instead, it made her even more majestic and majestic.
Zhu Biao glanced at the Crown Princess who was kneeling in front of her holding the phoenix seal. He said that his wife and mother were really similar in some qualities. No wonder his father, the emperor and his mother had great faith in Luo Hua.
"No need to give me any gifts. I'd like to welcome you from a distance. Let's all sit in the hall. We'll have a dinner together later to chat."
"I will thank you, my concubine."
Empress Ma walked to her daughter-in-law and bent down to help her up: "Now that I'm gone, you'll have to worry a lot. You have to take care of both inside and outside the palace, and you have to take care of Yang'er Liang'er."
Chang Luohua stood up and said with a smile: "What are you saying, Queen Mother? This is the duty of sons and ministers."
Empress Ma smiled lovingly and reached out to caress the phoenix seal that her daughter-in-law held in front of her. There was a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, but she said: "Take it, there are more people in your palace, and my mother is older." I can’t control it anymore.”
As soon as these words came out, the concubines and concubines were shocked, but they did not dare to say anything. The phoenix seal represented more than simple dignity and dignity. It was the one who could truly rule over the concubines and princes inside and outside the three palaces and six courtyards. The authority of a princess.
Everyone who had just stood up quickly knelt back. Empress Ma looked back at her son. Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and bowed slightly, obeying her relatives and showing her filial piety. In public, she never disobeyed her mother's instructions.
However, this is considered an unforeseen disaster. It seems that my mother is afraid that there will be more and more women in the East Palace, new looks will replace the old ones, and she is worried about the status of her daughter-in-law and two precious grandchildren, so she deliberately beat him.
Governing the world with filial piety is the guiding principle of the two thousand years of imperial society. The common people may occasionally act unfilial, but the clan of the Tian family sets an example for the world and must never tolerate unfilial piety.
Chang Luohua's position as Crown Princess was originally designated by the emperor and had been sacrificed to the ancestors in the ancestral temple. Now that the Queen has given the phoenix seal to take charge of the palace affairs, the position of Crown Princess cannot be more orthodox. Even Zhu Biao cannot shake it. Otherwise it would be unfilial.
But in the conscience of heaven and earth, he has never thought of changing to a princess.
Of course Chang Luohua also knew the meaning of this. Tears welled up in his eyes instantly, like mist rising from Qingqiu Lake. His red thin lips opened slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Queen Ma stopped him: "Good boy, it's time. What's yours is yours, no one can take it away, your father and I both think so."
The concubines couldn't help but look at the prince secretly. Haven't there been rumors that the prince and his concubine are young couples who love each other without any doubt?
Why is the Queen suddenly acting like this? Is it possible that His Highness the Prince has been smitten by some charming girl and wants to change his concubine?
Ha, man.
The wives who can come here are naturally the official wives, and their natural position is on the same side as the Queen and the Crown Princess. At this time, the eyes towards the Crown Prince inevitably become a little subtle.
Zhu Biao was dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that it was wrong for him to come here. It was better to go to Wuying Hall with his father to meet with the courtiers. No one would dare to look at me in such a different light.
"My daughter-in-law is not such a little woman."
Chang Luohua stretched out his hand and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and a confident smile bloomed on his face again. He was as heroic as a general returning in triumph. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood hand in hand, dazzling.
Zhu Biao felt his eyes were a little sore, and said dryly: "I'm still waiting for you at Wuying Hall. My mother will go to the palace to rest for the time being. I'll come back later."
"Go ahead."
