"You drank so much last night, aren't you sleepy?"
In Suninghou's residence, Xiao Han reluctantly walked out of the room, looked at Zhu Biao standing in the courtyard, curled his lips and said.
"Sleepy."
Zhu Biao said truthfully.
"You are so sincere."
Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao fiercely and said.
"Have you decided on the candidates for the Hongwu Grand Ceremony?"
Zhu Biao was too lazy to argue with Xiao Han, so he waved his hand and asked,
"Brother, it's not that fast."
Xiao Han rolled his eyes, and then looked at Zhu Biao angrily and said, "Besides, this is definitely not a day's work."
Did the old Zhu family really treat officials like beasts? Xiao Han had just gotten up and came to press for the list?
Moreover, it is not that simple to select candidates for the Hongwu Grand Ceremony. They must go through an assessment before they can be included in the proposed candidates.
"Then you promise my father to present the list today?"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Han and frowned.
Xiao Han assured Zhu Yuanzhang yesterday that a list of personnel would be presented to Hongwu Ceremony today, but now he says it was not a day's work. Isn't this deceiving the emperor?
"Well, the personnel for the Hongwu Ceremony have been drafted and preliminary screened, and the results will be available today."
Xiao Han rubbed his neck and replied casually.
My head still hurts. It seems that I drank a little too much last night. I will definitely not drink like this in the future, otherwise, I will die sooner or later.
"What you mean is that the preliminary screening of personnel is not the final decision yet."
Zhu Biao thought for a moment before speaking.
"Of course, the initial screening is to screen out embroidered pillows."
"Besides, it must be assessed by me personally, otherwise, no need!"
Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao categorically and said.
No matter it was the Hongwu Dynasty, all previous dynasties, or later generations, there was no shortage of dirty tricks.
What's more, if it is such a big event as the Hongwu Ceremony, more people will break their heads and want to squeeze in.
So if you can't rely on your own talents and learning to get into the business of compiling the Hongwu Canon, what else can you rely on?
It's nothing more than officials protecting each other, relying on connections, and sending people in for gold plating. Can Xiao Han accept it?
Therefore, resolutely put an end to it!
The personnel planning for the Hongwu Ceremony must go through Xiao Han's hands.
"Yes, regarding this, I can promise you on behalf of my father."
Zhu Biao thought for a while, then looked at Xiao Han and nodded.
Because Zhu Biao also understood that what Xiao Han was worried about was nothing more than officialdom.
"Well, by the way, please help me ask for a decree. Since I will no longer work in the Ministry of Etiquette for the time being, I shouldn't occupy the manhole and let people go up. Let them go up."
"From today onwards, I will carry out my Hongwu Ceremony with peace of mind."
Xiao Han turned to look at Zhu Biao again and said.
"This morning, the imperial court has discussed it, but there is no suitable candidate yet, so you will continue to act as the left minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Zhu Biao nodded lightly. He had already considered that since Xiao Han wanted to completely fade out of the court, he should not serve in the Ministry of Rites. However, the court officials were in short supply and there were no suitable officials yet. Therefore, Xiao Han would have to work hard for a while. cold.
"It's not a big deal. After all, after I finally got rid of Zuo Shilang, my old boss should have gathered power, and I won't have to worry about anything."
Xiao Han's lips curled up into a smile.
In the Hongwu Dynasty, the Minister of Rites was just an empty frame, and everyone in the entire court knew that Xiao Han, the left minister, had always been in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and when Xiao Han finally left, the Minister of Rites was naturally happy.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Xiao Han goes to the Ministry of Rites or not, it's not a big deal anyway.
"You were bullied miserably by the Minister of Rites. I heard this morning that you were resigning as Zuo Shilang. I almost cried with excitement."
Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han speechlessly. Zuo Ji, the Minister of Rites, had a lot of runny noses and tears this morning, and even cried to thank him. It was enough to show how domineering Xiao Han was in the Ministry of Rites.
"Zuo Ji, he is also a talented person, but he is a bit like a mother-in-law in his work and not courageous enough. Otherwise, he would have been transferred to the Ministry of Education long ago, so why would he stay in the Ministry of Rites."
Xiao Han did not refute Zhu Biao, but just nodded and said.
"Forget about Zuo Ji, let's talk about what happened this morning. Early this morning, Yang Xian, Zuocheng of Zhongshu Province, handed over a memorial. It was a memorial to impeach Lv Chang, the Minister of Household Affairs."
Zhu Biao waved his hand, took out a memorial from his sleeve, handed it to Xiao Han, and continued: "And most of the officials in the court stood up to speak for Yang Xian, so my father He had no choice but to temporarily imprison Lu Chang."
"have no choice?"
Xiao Han took the memorial and put it directly on the table without even looking at it, and then asked directly.
What Xiao Han didn't expect was that Zhu Yuanzhang would still be helpless, which was really rare.
Sure enough, drinking was really a waste of time, and I really shouldn't have missed such a wonderful melon.
"Well, it's really helpless. And Lu Chang, I'm sure you are familiar with him, right?"
Zhu Biao nodded, looked at Xiao Han again and asked.
"Of course he is not a stranger. Let's not talk about this person's knowledge. But just for his control of food, grass and luggage, he is already a rare talent in the world."
Xiao Han's eyes flashed with admiration. He always spoke highly of Lu Chang.
Just because Lu Chang was able to stabilize Zhu Yuanzhang's rear and ensure the army's food and supplies in troubled times and despite food shortages, Lu Chang's ability cannot be questioned.
"So, this is nothing more than Yang Xian's method to eliminate dissidents, but his evidence is too sufficient and there is no way to refute it."
Zhu Biao clenched his fists slightly and sighed again: "The accusation Yang Xian'an gave Lu Chang is even more ridiculous. It is said that Lu Chang collaborated with the enemy and treason, and there is no clear connection between him and Bei Yuan."
"For a moment, I was speechless."
After listening to Zhu Biao's words, the corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched slightly. For this reason, he suddenly had the urge to scold his mother.
Lu Chang was originally a minister of Bao Yuan. It was because of Zhu Yuanzhang's charisma that he chose to surrender to help Zhu Yuanzhang and stabilize his rear.
So, Lu Chang went all out to help Zhu Yuanzhang just to collaborate with the enemy and treason and surrender to Bei Yuan?
Haha, don't make trouble, who is such a good person? After all, Lu Chang was originally an executive of a large company, but he switched jobs to a small company and stayed there for several years. The small company went public and defeated the big company. Lu Chang jumped again. Come out and tell everyone that I am actually an undercover agent.
And if this is really the case, Lu Chang is definitely mentally ill, not just an ordinary disease, but absolutely insane.
"By the way, this is not over yet. In addition to impeaching Lu Chang, Yang Xian is also working on the idea of the Hongwu Dadian. He has submitted memorials one after another and wants to help you complete the compilation of the Hongwu Dadian."
Zhu Biao rubbed his painful head again.
A cold light suddenly flashed in Xiao Han's eyes.
