Chapter two hundred and twenty fifth court meeting
The carriage is started, and today's trip is almost finished. I will stay for another day tomorrow to check it out. If nothing happens, I will leave and rush back to Fengyang. There are many things to do.
Zhu Biao closed his eyes and calmed down, silently thinking about whether he had missed anything. He fell asleep unknowingly, and did not wake up until the carriage stopped.
Zhu Biao also realized that he did not have enough rest due to running around and working for days, and he made up his mind to hold on to the princess no matter how tempting she was today.
After getting off the carriage, Zhu Biao first went to Kunning Palace and chatted with Queen Ma for a while. In fact, he felt that he owed Queen Ma and did not let her experience the unique dependence of normal children on her.
Then he stopped by to see Lao Zhu. He was still reviewing the seemingly endless memorials. The food on the side was not touched. Zhu Biao asked people to change it into hot food and watched Lao Zhu finish eating before leaving.
Regarding the matter of Lan Yu, the father and son have the same attitude. Even if they risk losing the edge of this sharp blade, they must frustrate Lan Yu's edge.
After Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace, he said a few words to Chang Luohua, and then asked Nuan Yu and Da Shuang'er to wait for him to take a bath. During this period, Zhu Biao asked them about their recent situation and felt relieved after learning that everything was fine.
Yu and the others feel much more relaxed after staying with Chang Luohua for so long.
After bathing, Zhu Biao lay directly on the bed. He felt much more comfortable now. Chang Luohua sat aside and said softly: "Your Highness, you have worked so hard. I feel heartbroken to see you."
Zhu Biao closed his eyes and smiled. No matter how young he was, he had already had enough of lying around doing nothing, and he never wanted to do it again. Although he was busy now, the feeling of having power in his hands was really intoxicating.
Zhu Biao took Chang Luohua's hand and fell asleep. He didn't eat supper, so he slept until dawn the next day. He hadn't had such a rest for a long time, and Chang Luohua also lay in his arms at some point.
Looking at Chang Luohua and Zhu Biao, whose eyelashes were trembling a little, he knew that she had woken up a long time ago, but in order to let Zhu Biao have a good sleep, he had not moved. Zhu Biao looked at the beautiful face and rosy lips, and could not bear to
I couldn't help but take a bite.
Chang Luohua woke up immediately. She never expected that she would be bitten, and it was quite painful. The big eyes she opened instantly were filled with water mist. Zhu Biao felt guilty and put his head against his prince.
The concubine’s forehead.
The two of them struggled with each other for a long time before they got up. After cleaning up, Zhu Biao ordered Liu Quan to go to the Ministry of Industry and asked them to follow Princess Lin'an's instructions. There was no need to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for such a trivial matter.
Chang Luohua then discovered that Zhu Biao's jade pendant was missing again, and said helplessly: "Others reward gold and silver, but you are the only one who always rewards yourself with a personal jade pendant."
Zhu Biao smiled. He didn't like many things, and trinkets were definitely one of them, especially jade pendants, so he felt that others should also like them, and he rewarded them with gold and silver.
Liu Jin was almost crying with excitement. The Crown Princess finally said what he didn't dare to say. Every one of His Highness's jade pendants were made in the palace. Needless to say, they are precious. What's more important is that they are close to the body.
Things sometimes represent the will of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Zhu Biao scratched his head and ordered Liu Jin: "Go to the internal manufacturing bureau and ask them to make a batch of unicorn jade pendants and send them to the East Palace as soon as possible."
Zhu Biao's personal jade pendants are usually dragon-patterned. It's really not a good idea to give them away like this, so let's change them to unicorns, which have a very good meaning.
After giving the instructions, Zhu Biao and his princess had a breakfast, which consisted of fried fish, fragrant rice, agate cake soup, brocade cake soup, osmanthus cake soup, Haiqing rolls, butterfly rolls, and bean soup.
Make tea.
Naturally, Zhu Biao and his wife couldn't finish the food, and they would usually give it to the palace maids who were close to them. Chang Luohua had a small appetite, so after he finished eating, he began to take care of Zhu Biao's meal.
After eating, Zhu Biao went out to go to court. Today he had to go to court to report the specific matters of relocation. It would be better to see what the court wanted for some arrangements. After all, people will be relocated next year. This time it is on the list. Everyone is ready.
Staring.
When he arrived at the Fengtian Gate, Zhu Biao walked in and all the civil and military officials went up to greet him. The prince's power was growing day by day, and now he had many achievements in military affairs. He was the best choice for the next emperor.
Zhu Biao greeted them cheerfully and showed more enthusiasm towards Yang Xian. After all, he had just helped him speak to the court some time ago, and there were officials who were strongly opposed to the matter at that time to explain.
Zhu Biao was also appeased. In fact, they did not do anything wrong. If the officials were appointed as officials on a large scale, Zhu Biao would be the first to object.
It is true that the officials are slippery. If it were not Zhu Biao who was in Fengyang, those officials would be good if they were not corrupt, not to mention making political achievements. Therefore, there was no conflict between the two parties.
As soon as the gate of Fengtian Palace opened, everyone filed in and saluted according to the increasingly perfect rules. Li Shanchang was still recovering in the mansion today, so Yang Xian was the first to report. After all, he was in charge of Zhongshu Province.
The most important thing for the imperial court now is the autumn harvest. Grain taxes from various places are the lifeblood. If there is a problem, the work next year will not be started. Naturally, this matter will not be that easy.
There are some minor problems everywhere, and some local officials always take chances, thinking that in a small place like mine, no one will be able to detect any shortcomings, so they just need to clear them up.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not tolerate them, and immediately ordered officials from all over the country to be punished whenever there was a problem. He also sent people from Yushitai to go to the local areas to observe the public sentiment and see if any corrupt officials took the opportunity to charge excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. It has been more than two years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial institutions have become more and more complete, as has the central government's control over local areas. The imperial power has covered most state capitals.
When it was almost over, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son below him and said: "The relocation project is of great importance. The prince will tell you how it went."
Zhu Biao turned around slightly and saluted his father, then looked at the ministers below and told him about the current situation in Fengyang, including building water conservancy projects, reclaiming wasteland, and preparing to build a county town to house more than 100,000 people.
Officials had also heard about these general events from the reports sent from Fengyang, but naturally no one involved could tell them clearly. They had to admit that His Highness the Crown Prince had done a very proper job, and each step was obviously planned in advance.
However, because this would affect the relocation matters in the next few years, the officials also had many questions and suggestions. The meeting did not end until noon, and everyone had a detailed understanding.
According to the expectations when the relocation plan was first formulated, the relocation will not stop for more than thirty years. There is a shortage of population in various places in the Central Plains, and the population in Jiangnan and other places in Shanxi is somewhat overpopulated, so this matter must be continued.
perfect.
Zhu Biao specifically took this job because of this. Historically, the Ming Dynasty's great migration lasted from the Hongwu year to the 15th year of Yongle. This kind of thing can be said to be a century-old national policy. Of course, Zhu Biao must set an example himself before he can rest assured.
