I have to say that he was used to eating exquisite imperial meals, and occasionally eating duck blood soup and freshly baked sesame cakes was really good. Zhu Biao ate three of them. After eating, he leaned on the chair and asked: "Father, who is the emperor?"
Why are you so happy? Could it be that good news has come from the southwest?"
The sesame seed cake with duck blood soup had a special meaning to Lao Zhu. He couldn't bear to eat it on days when he was not particularly happy. Zhu Yuanzhang patted his belly and said, "We are so short-sighted. Don't ask questions knowingly."
Zhu Biao said cheerfully: "The imperial doctor is not sure. Don't be disappointed if you are not pregnant by the emperor. Luo Hua became a little uneasy after receiving the reward from the emperor and his mother. He is afraid that your happiness will be in vain."
Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his back instantly and said: "This is our negligence. Please comfort her when you go back and tell her not to worry. We know very well the virtues of those guys in Taiyuan Hospital. Since they dare to report, they are inseparable.
I guess it will be confirmed in another half month when the pulse becomes obvious."
While he was talking, Zhu Biao noticed the joy in his father's eyes and brows. Speaking of which, Lao Zhu had almost twenty children, but apart from the first few, the rest were just like that.
, there is nothing to be too happy about.
But now that he heard that he had a legitimate grandson, he was as overjoyed as when his wife was pregnant with Biao'er. Zhu Yuanzhang was so satisfied with the unborn child that he came at just the right time.
Moreover, his mother's family also satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang. Once the child was born, the Chang family would be completely tied to the Zhu family's carriage, becoming Zhu Biao's most important support in the military in the future. When the child grew up, Chang's family would be
The family will also strive to maintain orthodoxy, which is what he hopes to see.
From the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to train his eldest son in order to give Ming Dynasty a good start. Succession by his eldest son is not the best method, but it is definitely the safest.
The prosperity of his relatives is indeed a problem, but Zhu Yuanzhang is not worried, not to mention that Chang Mao has mediocre qualifications. This is destined that after Chang Yuchun, the Chang family will slowly decline. By then, military power will be completely taken back to the court, and the honor and disgrace of the nobles will be
It will be in the emperor's mind.
The father and son looked at each other and had a tacit understanding. The current situation in Ming Dynasty is very good, everything is prosperous, and the plans are being actively carried out, but they still need some time.
During this period, in addition to handling necessary memorials, Zhu Yuanzhang basically handed over all administrative powers to Zhongshu Sheng, in accordance with the ten-year plan to govern the country and enrich the people presented by Hu Weiyong.
I have to say that Hu Weiyong is indeed a capable minister. The national policy implemented in the past two years has no problems now? If it were not because he was too deeply involved with the nobles of Huaixi? Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to send such a talent to a dead end, but
Now the only thing left is for the people to perish and the government to survive.
The father and son walked out of Jinshen Hall and strolled in the Qiangong Square. It was summer and the sun was setting late. It was still very bright outside at night? Zhu Biao asked casually: "Why hasn't Hu Weiyong moved yet?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and said: "Yang Xian fell in front of him? How could he take this as a warning? Now Hu Weiyong is quite strict with himself and lenient towards others."
Zhu Biao laughed when he heard this and said: "It is not a good thing to be lenient to others in the officialdom. The people in Huaixi are very arrogant now. I'm afraid they will cause a lot of troubles? Hu Weiyong violated a taboo by relying on his official position to help them solve the problem."
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "No hurry? Let's take a look. Now that the situation is stable, some people can't stay idle. In the future, there will be more ghosts and monsters."
Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this. After the war, those who survived will naturally get the dividends? Those who are not satisfied will have to eat from their own bowl and watch what others eat. This will cause a lot of troubles in the next two or three years.
went.
Hu Weiyong has come to this point? There are some things that he doesn’t want to carry, otherwise how can the people below agree? How many times have these officials guarded each other, and the interests of you and me have become more entangled? From now on, we will be prosperous and prosperous.
If one loses, both will suffer.
In fact, it's not Zhu Yuanzhang who is setting a trap for them? What if they all know what contentment means? Then no one can do anything to the founding heroes, but Zhu Yuanzhang knows those old brothers too well. They are all wolf cubs who grew up in troubled times and are not worthy of peace.
dog.
They are used to relying on their minions to hunt and eat meat. They will not wait honestly for the bones given to them by the court to chew. If the enemies are eaten, they will eat the people at the bottom. No one wants to chew the bones when they are used to eating meat.
In his eyes, those common people are just fat sheep raised in a pen, and they are not of the same class as them.
Their pity had long been abandoned when they were young, otherwise they would not have rushed out of the bloody sea of corpses in troubled times and rushed all the way to the level of the imperial nobles. But Zhu Yuanzhang, the alpha wolf, climbed to the top with victory after victory.
He is no longer the wolf king who only thinks about killing and eating meat to survive.
Perhaps when he was called the King of Wu in the land of Jinling, he was no longer the leader of the wolf pack. His ambitions shifted from meat to this vast land. The tiger in Jinling was the land of the dragon. From that time on
He changed, while the wolves around him still only wanted to eat meat, but at that time they still had enemies.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang has become the only true dragon in the world. It is his duty to protect the world, and the wolves that are victorious have become the biggest threat. Even the true dragon cannot eliminate their wildness.
Zhu Biao thought silently for a while. Whether it was the nobles in the capital or the nobles who went north and south to guard various places, they were all familiar to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao had never doubted their loyalty.
But they will not suppress themselves from taking bribes and bending the law because of their loyalty. In their eyes, this is not a conflict. They are not greedy for rebellion, but just want to enjoy more wealth. Could it be that after the war is over, they will return to their hometown to farm?
The original excellent mood of the father and son suddenly became a little depressed. The fate of the nobles was actually in their own hands. As long as they did not take bribes and bend the law and then collude with their colleagues to cover up their crimes, then Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements were useless to them. Hu Weiyong did not have that power.
Nor will it lead to a dead end.
But the reality is that some of them know that there will be no good end if they continue to be greedy, but they still can't control themselves. This dead end is pushed by the desires in human nature. Even Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding and lessons cannot bring them back. Greed
It is addictive. Once you taste the sweetness, there is no turning back.
Zhu Yuanzhang now has the country in hand, and is about to have an excellent son and grandson, but he has to bury a group of old brothers and their descendants with his own hands. Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang mention them since the founding of the country?
No, my mouth was dry when I spoke, and my lips were almost worn out. I was afraid that what I said was too obscure and they wouldn’t understand, and I wanted to crumble the truth into pieces and stuff it into their heads.
But they all knelt down and cried bitterly on the spot, shouting something about listening to the holy teachings. Zhu Yuanzhang could only sigh indifferently in the end. He knew that none of them took it seriously, and he would still have the same virtue after going to court.
