As the words of the Minister of Rites fell, the three princes and the three newly promoted kings knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor above: "My sons and ministers will obey the emperor's orders, be loyal to the emperor and filial piety, and the princes will keep their integrity."
, Shang Qi only wears it, and does not give lectures."
Then he stood up, went to the side to be served by the palace maid, put on the prince's robe, walked back to the main hall, and knelt down again towards his father. Logically speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang should put on the crowns for his sons with his own hands.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, it's up to you to put crowns on your brothers."
Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this, but he also understood his father's good intentions. His greatest hope was that his sons could live in harmony with each other as brothers. Zhu Biao bowed to his father and agreed, and then walked in front of his brothers.
All the civil and military officials were filled with emotion. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position as the foundation of the country was truly stable as never before. The relationship between the Holy Father and the Prince as a father and son was even more impressive. Inexplicably, they also thought of their eldest son in their family and felt that they loved him.
I am quite short-changed. I am really not as good as the Holy One.
The official of the Ministry of Rites knelt beside Zhu Biao holding the crown of the prince. He did not dare to stand in front of the three princes. Zhu Biao first stood in front of the second prince of Jin Dynasty, Zhu Xi, reached out and took off the crown on his head and replaced it with the prince's crown.
The crown is eight gleams.
Zhu Biao couldn't understand how he felt now. His stupid brothers had also become superior princes. In the future, they might become his helpers or stumbling blocks. Everything was different.
After Zhu Biao finished the first two, he finally walked up to Zhu Di. The newly promoted His Royal Highness King Qi was still very calm. Zhu Biao put a crown on him and then said softly: "Congratulations to you."
Then he returned to his original position, and Zhu Yuanzhang once again said a few words of encouragement according to etiquette. The three princes respectfully agreed, then stood up and faced the ministers with their backs to his father and brother, waiting to receive their congratulations.
All civil and military officials also knelt down in order and saluted: "I see His Highness the King of Jin, His Highness the King of Chu, and His Highness the King of Qi."
Zhu Biao stood behind them and watched silently. This was the only chance in their lives for them to accept the kneeling of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. This was forced by Zhu Biao. Otherwise, according to Lao Zhu's idea, no matter what official saw the prince, he would have to kneel down and salute.
.
Finally, the prince's ceremony was completed, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave a banquet. The banquet was lively until the afternoon. Zhu Biao also drank a lot. His younger brothers were crowned kings and he, as the elder brother, naturally had to accompany them and rejoice.
After returning to the East Palace, Chang Luohua had already prepared sobering soup. After serving Zhu Biao to drink it, he helped him go to bed. Zhu Biao woke up the next day and was fine. He walked around the yard twice and then returned.
We are waiting in the Wenhua Hall. After Zhu Yuanzhang returns to the court, we will go to the ancestral temple to worship and tell the ancestors that the old Zhu family has begun to enfeoff the kings. They should all be happy.
Zhu Biao had nothing to do with him for the next two days, and he did not need to intervene in the affairs of the Kong family. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs also began to transport food and supplies for the relocated people. Chang Mao and Xu Yungong also went to the East Palace to visit Zhu Biao and talk about the honors of the noble sons.
They are all ready and can set off with His Royal Highness at any time.
After Zhu Biao asked them to go back, he got up and went to his father's room in the royal book. After discussing for more than half an hour, he decided to set off the day after tomorrow.
Zhu Biao went to visit his mother again, listened to her chatter for a while, and played with his sister for a while. After the little girl got her own puppy, she didn't play with him much anymore.
Then he returned to the East Palace. Chang Luohua began to prepare the things he wanted to bring, and asked Zhu Biao if he wanted to take Nuanyu and the others with him to serve him?
Of course Zhu Biao refused. He was not enjoying himself. He had many noble disciples around him. If he couldn't lead by example, how could he restrain and discipline them?
In fact, there is no need to prepare too much. It is not a war. No one can wrong Zhu Biao in the Ming Dynasty. However, this trip will probably take several months. Whether it is relocation or resettlement of the people, it will take a lot of time.
.
However, it is still very meaningful to Zhu Biao. What he sees on paper is ultimately shallow, and he knows that he has to do this. He has been floating in the clouds for too long, and it is time to get down to earth.
The next day, Zhu Biao led the three brothers who had been crowned kings to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works. The specific accounts must be checked clearly to avoid insufficient supplies. Zhu Biao was responsible for this matter, and the honor of the imperial court was
The noble disciples are all involved, so no one dares to commit fraud.
Then people called Xu Yungong, Chang Mao, Fu Zhong and others, as well as four people who Zhu Biao admired more in the imperial examination. This was the small team headed by Zhu Biao in this relocation matter.
What these people have in common is that they are all young and have a certain value for education. Zhu Biao took them to Qingjiang Tower. The winery here is built next to the river and is very elegant. When you go to the top floor, you can get river fresh food.
Fortunately for Xu Yungong and others, the four new scholars, Guo Chong, Zhang Fan, Wu Bozong, and Li Jin, were very excited. The imperial court had ordered that all new scholars go with the prince to Shanxi to take charge of the relocation matters and arrange official positions based on their performance.
This matter had already made them very excited. It was a rare qualification to be able to follow His Highness the Crown Prince on errands, but now they were specially called out to attend a gathering of this inner circle.
Thinking about the envious and jealous expressions of those who were the same age but had to step forward to congratulate them, it was really refreshing, but they were also determined to perform well, otherwise they would be expelled and they would be humiliated.
Especially Li Jin, he was almost the top pick but not the second best. He got here inexplicably. Naturally, he worked harder than others to live up to His Highness the Crown Prince's respect.
Zhu Biao glanced at the scorching eyes of the four Jinshi, feeling full of sincerity. Zhu Biao raised his glass and drank before them, and then began to give detailed instructions. The others did not move their chopsticks and listened attentively.
With.
The first thing is the issue of food. With more than 100,000 relocated people and the officers and soldiers responsible for escorting them, the consumption along the way is not a small amount. Although the Ministry of Revenue has allocated some food and grass, it still needs to be supplied by the local state governments along the way.
Some, the Ministry of Revenue has already issued transfer orders.
However, it is common for the local grain and grass reserves to be used up by greedy ink and shoddy. It is not surprising that even Zhu Biao has been completely misappropriated. However, there must be preparation, otherwise it will be bad if something goes wrong.
This is one of the reasons why this job is difficult to handle. The food that should be supplied by the local government is gone. Do you want to offend the officials of the state government and file an impeachment petition? What if the other party has a strong background?
If you don't report it, people may starve to death due to lack of food. People are unwilling to be forced to immigrate. If your family starves to death, they will naturally cause trouble. Once trouble occurs, the court will hold you accountable.
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Xi and said, "You and Lao Si will take a trip to find out the granaries in various places, especially those that have been ordered by the Ministry of Revenue. You must go in and inspect them in person."
Zhu Xi thought for a while and asked: "How to deal with problems if they are found?"
Zhu Biao said: "I will ask my father for an order. If you find corrupt officials, take them down directly, confiscate their property, and purchase food on the spot. You must ensure that it can supply the needs of the large army."
