Queen Ma looked at her son, who was already a teenager, and said, "My son will be getting married before I know it, and my mother will be old. Time flies by like water and will never come back."
Zhu Biao frowned and said, "Why did the queen suddenly become emotional? Could it be that someone said something to you?"
Queen Ma is actually not very old, she is only thirty-seven this year, but compared with those girls who have just entered the palace, she is naturally older.
It is not impossible that Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma would not speak to each other for a long time when they had a bad temper. Unless their mood suddenly improved and they lowered their heads in private and coaxed them together, they would reconcile.
The elders in the palace all know this, but the newcomers may think that the emperor is tired of the queen and they dare not say anything openly, but they can do the same if they criticize someone and say a few words that are neither negative nor positive.
If this is the case, Zhu Biao doesn't mind giving instructions. Although he can't directly interfere with the affairs of the harem, he can teach a few concubines without having to deal with it himself.
As long as you give an order, the maids, eunuchs, and even the concubines with children in the harem will not mind doing a good job for His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, their sons and daughters have to count on their elder brother.
Queen Ma looked at the coldness flashing in her son's eyes and said: "Don't think too much, your mother has been bullied from the handsome lady to Princess Wu to the queen now. Those new concubines are here."
We behave ourselves."
Zhu Biao laughed. His mother said that those concubines were the ones to be married to, and she specially added a younger one. It was obvious that she still cared about her age.
Zhu Biao said: "My father is not a womanizer. Those who were brought into the palace are just to appease the ministers. There are also a few sent by small foreign countries. My father can't drive them away. They can't drive them away."
They are young and beautiful, I am afraid that my father cannot even remember who they are, and how can they be qualified to compare with you."
Zhu Yuanzhang never liked to sleep with his concubines. Most of the time after finishing his work, he would let them go to the side hall and rest alone. On rare occasions when he was in a good mood, he would allow those concubines who had children and were favored to sleep with him, which was considered a courtesy.
They are somewhat decent.
It was different with Queen Ma. They always slept together. Even if they had a fight in the middle of the night, Comrade Lao Zhu would angrily shout something unreasonable, and would run to the imperial study room to sleep with the quilt in his arms.
Empress Ma nodded without saying anything and said: "Yesterday, I saw that your father had a few more gray hairs on his temples. He was too tired, but he couldn't trust others and carried everything by himself. Biao'er, your father loves you the most.
, you have to help him share more."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "My son, I know. Queen Mother, don't always quarrel with your father. There was a rare smile on my father's face in the past few days. My father has a sense of proportion in matters in the court and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Empress Ma shook her head: "Those people have made some mistakes, but they are by no means to the point of death penalty. Your father's murderous intention is stronger now than during the war, and he treats civil and military officials as if they are enemies. How can this be done?
"
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, and Empress Ma continued: "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Now that he has won the world, doesn't he need the hearts of the people? Wanton killing is definitely not what a wise king can do. Since the law has been laid down, then
It should be strictly enforced. How can the punishment be increased arbitrarily just because of temporary anger? How can the law be enforced throughout the world?"
Zhu Biao smiled and complimented: "The Queen Mother is a wise man. If she is born as a boy, the Queen Mother will have the magnanimity to rule and assist the world."
Empress Ma sighed: "As long as your father hears me saying this, he will angrily shout that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and then leave angrily."
Zhu Biao comforted Queen Ma for a while, and then when Zhu Lu came back tired from playing, Zhu Biao talked to his sister for a while and promised to bring her a kitten next time.
Queen Ma didn't say anything. There were many concubines in the palace raising puppies and kittens. After all, what's the point of deep inside the palace? Queen Ma had to take care of the entire harem, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like cats or dogs either.
Yes, that's why she didn't raise it.
When Zhu Lu was playing in the palace, she would sometimes meet those little things that ran out. Seeing that she liked them, the concubines naturally politely offered to give them to her little highness. However, Empress Ma was not willing to take advantage of others, and Zhu Lu was still young.
There was a child, so I told her to ask her brother for it.
Children are very forgetful. The last few times Zhu Biao came, she had forgotten about it because he was patronizing her. This time, she remembered it. Zhu Biao dotes on his girl and naturally agreed.
The city of Nanjing is now recovering very well and is very prosperous. There is also a market selling cats and dogs. When the time comes, just ask someone to pick out a few good ones and bring them in.
The market for selling small animals began as early as the Song Dynasty. Zhu Biao read an essay by a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty, which recorded that in front of the Daxiangguo Temple in Kaifeng Prefecture, people were open to trade five times a month, and the three gates were full of birds.
There are everything from cats and dogs to rare birds and animals.
There are also cat food and dog food for sale in the market: “If a house raises horses, someone will provide fodder every day; if a dog is raised, chaff will be provided; if a cat is raised, fish and loaches will be provided; if fish is raised, shrimps will be provided.
"
It even records various small commodities and pet services in Hangzhou City, including "cat nest, cat fish, selling cats, changing cats and dogs", cat nest, cat fish, the meaning of cats is easy to understand, and "changing cats and dogs" is very
It may be for grooming pet cats and pet dogs.
Zhu Biao looked at it with joy and fascination at that time. The Song Dynasty's performance may not be good, but the economy is indeed developing very well, and the people near the capital are relatively prosperous. He doesn't know when the Ming Dynasty will realize economic recovery.
After Zhu Biao said goodbye to his mother, he got up and walked towards the front palace. It was almost time to go to court, and all the civil and military officials had to go back to the government office.
Along the way, we walked near the Fengtian Temple and saw a group of civil and military officials walking out of the Fengtian Temple. The lower the rank, the faster they came out. First, they were closer to the door. If they didn't walk quickly, the door would be blocked easily. Second, the big guys would always leave.
They discussed a few words at the end, in case they accidentally heard something they shouldn't have heard, their little bodies wouldn't be able to bear it.
Zhu Biao stood there and watched the crowd pour out, and he could clearly see the general divisions between political parties. For example, the imperial censors, who were dressed in a righteous and upright style, followed Liu Bowen and walked directly to their own government offices without saying anything to anyone.
.
The military generals and nobles were chatting about going out for drinks. Since there was no war, it was fine for them to sit in the yamen all day. The officials of Zhongshu Province were clearly divided into several groups, vaguely mutually exclusive.
As for the real bigwigs in the court, they walked out happily together. Yang Xian and Li Shanchang wanted to talk about Zhenghuan, while Hu Weiyong and Xu Da didn't know what to talk about. The six ministers came out together with their hands behind their backs, vaguely
Headed by the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Chang Yuchun walked side by side with Li Wenzhong. Both of them were Zhu Biao's foundation in the army. Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song Dynasty, chased after him. The three of them were also talking and laughing.
It was obvious that Zhu Biao was wearing a gold and red dragon robe today and was surrounded by a group of people. Most of the officials bowed from a distance and left after seeing it. After all, they didn't think the prince had anything to say to them.
of.
Zhu Biao looked at Li Shanchang and Yang Xian with his hands behind his back. They extended their hands to each other and showed modesty. In the end, Li Shanchang took the lead and walked to Zhu Biao.
Hu Weiyong from a distance took a deep look at Yang Xian's back with a cold look in his eyes. Xu Da looked at Hu Weiyong's face and thought to himself: "Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian are the same kind of people. They are kind and forbearing when they fail to succeed."
He is so arrogant, but he is far inferior to Li Shanchang."
After Hu Weiyong came to his senses, he reached out to Xu Da to invite him. Both of them were nobles from Huaixi. Hu Weiyong now had the support of Li Shanchang. As long as he could get the support of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, he could win over Li Shanchang.
After abdicating the throne, he became the leader of Huaixi noble civil servants.
He is said to be a civilian leader, but in fact he is the same as the leader of Huaixi. After all, Xu Da often goes out to command troops all year round and is too lazy to take care of things even in the capital.
The six ministers also looked at Yang Xian's back with disdain. Yang Xian was eager for quick success and quick success, and he only wanted to satisfy the emperor. He often used Zhongshu to give orders to them.
The Minister of Civil Affairs glanced at Lv Chang, the Minister of Household Affairs next to him: "Has the tax issue in Yangzhou been cleared up?"
Lu Chang shook his head slightly: "There must be a problem in Yangzhou, but there is still a lack of evidence."
The Minister of Punishment sneered: "Yang Xian is so smart that he rushes up when there is shit on his butt without wiping it off. Hmm, let's see how badly he falls."
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry did not say a word. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel glanced at him and said, "Be careful. Do you really think that Yang Xian can deceive the Holy Emperor and hide it from Mao Xiang's pro-army Duwei Mansion?"
The rest of the people immediately stopped talking, and the Minister of Civil Affairs did not say any more. He bowed to Zhu Biao from afar, then turned and left.
The imperial censors who had already walked away began to whisper away from the ministers. Liu Bowen walked forward with a calm face. A person behind him said: "Zhongcheng, Yang Xian was once your disciple after all.
Now there are undercurrents surging in the DPRK, and all the spearheads are pointed at Yang Xian. Should we help him, or should we, the imperial censor, file an impeachment report? In this way, even if something happens to Yang Xian in the future, our responsibility will be over.
That’s it.”
Uncle Liu was silent for a while and said: "It is okay to impeach him, but there is no need to accuse him of major crimes. Just impeach him for being arrogant and nepotistic in the Zhongshu Province. The rumors you heard cannot be reported."
As soon as this statement came out, the censors had their standards. Liu Bowen sighed. He really pitied Yang Xian's talent. He really couldn't understand why he was so young and eager for quick success. He could have become the pillar of the country and the prime minister in the future.
Quan is not without a chance.
Fortunately, now, he has become a knife in the hands of the Holy Lord. After stabbing the Huaixi Party, he will inevitably be pushed out and beheaded to appease the anger of the Huaixi Party.
