Zhu Fan thought for a while and said: "Tang Ding is actually very good, as well as that guy Fu Zhong."
Tang He went to the coast to fight against the Japanese pirates, but did not take away his eldest son Tang Ding. Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Fan and asked: "How did Tang Ding fare after Tang Shuai was stripped of his title?"
Zhu Fan scratched his head. He didn't know this. Zhu Feng answered from the side: "I've heard about this. After Tang Shuai was demoted from Beijing, except for Li Qi who came to visit him in person, everyone else stayed far away from Tang Ding.
."
Zhu Biao nodded. Li Shanchang was Tang He's eldest brother and naturally he wanted to show up. As for Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, it was better to stay as far away from Tang Mansion as possible. After all, these three people together equaled 50% of the military power of the Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, the rest of the people were still looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's face. Even if they saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was just using Tang He, a close confidant, to scare the monkeys, and Tang He would return to the top sooner or later, they did not dare to burn the cold stove. After all, Tang He was a general and had a relationship with him.
Too much density is a big no-no.
As for Tang Ding and Zhu Biao, he felt that this person was not bad. Otherwise, his father would have delayed his work, and his popularity should not be lower than that of Li Qi Changmao.
As for Fu Zhong, there is nothing much to say. He is just a fierce general. He has the value of training but is destined not to be a handsome man who leads a party. However, the loyalty of the Fu family should not be said. This is his greatest advantage.
After that, these three younger brothers basically recommended all the nobles from marquis and above. Unfortunately, there were not many outstanding talents, and many of them were still stubborn ones.
Especially the children of lower-ranking generals. They had not lived a good life since childhood, but now they suddenly became wealthy and became very arrogant.
In Nanjing, there is still restraint. In the local area, they act recklessly, but they don't do too much. This is very troublesome. It is useless to admonish them for some trivial things, but no matter how they behave, they become more and more angry.
Exceed the point.
After all, this era is not ruled by law, or in other words, human relationships are greater than the rule of law. The mutual protection between officials is no joke. Who can guarantee that his family will never make mistakes? If he makes a mistake, he must clear up the relationship.
This was all told by Zhu Ming to Zhu Biao, and the other two people were also stunned for a while. Zhu Biao did not expect that his second brother had the talent to be a royal guard. It seemed that it was useful to make some bad friends.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and asked Zhu Xi to draw up a list and write down the names of those who caused trouble. After hearing this, Zhu Xi hesitated: "Brother, you don't want to take action on them, do you?"
It seems that the last time Zhu Biao drew up the household list, it really caused a psychological shadow on his brothers. Zhu Biao patted Zhu Ping's head and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill your friends. Don't they all want to be by my side?"
Is it useful? It just so happens that I am short of manpower to cultivate land and open up wasteland."
The three brothers looked at each other and felt reassured. As long as they didn't get killed, and there was always someone to do the job, their eldest brother agreed to take them to Shanxi so easily. He was probably preparing to toughen them up. Naturally, there were many unlucky companions at this time.
Ordered.
Zhu Biao doesn't think those guys can learn to behave after just a few days of work. He just wants to torment them. Why should I have to work hard when I am so noble? You guys like dogs start to enjoy the blessings?
All the way back to the East Palace, the three brothers went to the study and started writing names. Zhu Biao ate watermelon in the pavilion. It was iced in the well and was brought as tribute. It was very sweet.
As soon as he ate two pieces, Liu Jin persuaded him that it was not good to be greedy for cold food. Zhu Biao did not refuse and ordered to share it for everyone in the East Palace to have a taste.
The more Zhu Biao thought about it, the more he thought it would be a good idea to take away those who caused trouble. After all, they all knew a few words, and the better ones could help manage a village.
Those who are useless just go to work in the fields. They are still alive after all. Besides, they are not short of food and clothing, so their health is naturally relatively good. Simple farm work does not require skills, just do it.
When the time comes, let the prince build the project. In short, there will be no waste in his hands, and even a dog will have to play its role.
Zhu Biao was not worried about whether they would not come. This was a good opportunity to work for the Crown Prince. Didn't they understand that their parents didn't understand?
When Zhu Yuanzhang's decree comes, those who stubbornly cry for father and mother will have to be kidnapped by their own father to serve the prince. After all, there are only a few positions around Zhu Biao that can't be occupied. A familiar person can live a wealthy life.
Zhu Biao happily walked to the study room and looked at the names being written on the paper, as if he were seeing young men in brocade clothes cultivating the vast land with their backs to the sky and the loess facing their faces.
In fact, the names written down by the three brothers of the Zhu family are not many. After all, the status that they can remember is not too low. However, this is the top stubborn among the high-ranking officials, and it is also the focus of Zhu Biao's training.
After looking at it for a few times, Zhu Biao took the note and led the three brothers to the imperial study. The further the three brothers walked, the more their hearts beat. They really didn't want to see their father. They were so beaten that their skin itched when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang.
, shivering uncontrollably.
However, I thought that by going this time, I could leave the palace and go to Shanxi to play, so I gritted my teeth and followed my elder brother.
When they arrived at the door of the Imperial Study Room, they were ushered in by the eunuch. It seemed that his father had already received the news that they were coming here.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt very relieved when he saw his four sons growing up in front of him: "Why are you here together today?"
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "The sons miss their father and naturally want to come and see him."
Zhu Xi, who was on the side, also said: "My father is very busy with official duties, and my sons don't dare to disturb me if they don't have anything important to do."
The remaining two younger brothers have nothing to say, and all the good things have been said by the older brothers (╥﹏╥)
I could only look at my father with admiring eyes, and kept nodding my head to express that what my brothers said was what I meant.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed a few times and asked them to sit down. His son knew very well that the other sons except Biao'er didn't tremble when they saw him, so why did they come here to make him feel uncomfortable?
Seeing that their father was in a good mood, the other three relaxed a lot. They found a chair and sat down, looking at the furnishings in the imperial study. They rarely had the opportunity to come here.
Zhu Biao walked over and put the note in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "I came here to ask my father for instructions. I want to bring these three princes and the noble sons to Shanxi."
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the note and frowned. These names were all very familiar to him. They could often be seen in the imperial censor's impeachment memorials. They were all masters who made big mistakes without making small mistakes. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the merits of their father and brother.
Compare with them.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the three brothers and said, "It's okay to take your brothers with you, but why do you need to take these people with you?"
Zhu Biao replied: "The imperial court lacks manpower, especially the Ministry of Household Affairs. There are a large number of people relocating this time, and there are many files that need to be recorded. Most of these noble children are literate. Instead of letting them wander around the capital with nothing to do, it is better to go and do the work for them.
I will do something practical tomorrow."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he thought of this. He hadn't told his son yet, and he planned to let all the new scholars go to Shanxi with his son. In this way, Zhu Biao's team would indeed be sufficient.
