The atmosphere in the court suddenly became joyful. This was what the Tian family said about its selflessness. Zhu Yuanzhang said to Liu Jin: "Go back and report to the Queen. You must take good care of the Crown Princess. The Imperial Hospital will be called upon at any time. There must be no mistakes."
Liu Jin bowed and accepted his promise and retired. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the courtiers and said, "It's rare to have a happy event. I will give you a banquet at noon today. I want to have a few drinks with all my dear friends."
Things became simple after that, but everyone just had fun with the emperor. It was a happy event for the prince to have a baby, but it was not too much. After all, Zhu Biao was not in his twenties or thirties and could not give birth to an heir.
After going to court, Zhu Yuanzhang hosted a banquet for the ministers, and Zhu Biao was also served several glasses of wine. They were all nobles of the Chang Yuchun line. They were so proud of the spring breeze that most of the people in the Chang line were dismissed by Chang Yuchun.
, but there are still a few old brothers.
When Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace in the afternoon, the courtyard of the East Palace was almost filled with gifts. Not only were there rewards from his father, the emperor and his mother, but also many gifts from the concubines and ministers outside the palace.
Shipments are coming in continuously.
Naturally, in the situation in the court, no one dared to give excessive gifts. The concubines gave nothing more than jewelry and cloth, and the civil servants gave more meaningful calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, poems, and books. The nobles were much more generous, after all, they were back then.
When leading troops to conquer the world, they often seized good things from the nobles of the former Yuan Dynasty, and their identities were not afraid of revealing their wealth.
Zhu Biao asked people to write it down and send it to the warehouse. Chang Luohua was in a good mood. Zhu Biao noticed it and asked: "These things are just like that, why are you so happy?"
Chang Luohua said with a smile: "If you take a concubine that is too valuable, you won't feel at ease. Now this is very good, and each one has its own interest."
Zhu Biao didn't quite understand, but it didn't matter. Chang Luohua was always a measured person. After entering the palace, he didn't know whether he learned it from him or from his mother, and he improved a lot.
Zhu Biao said a few words to her and then left the palace. He was going to meet Yan Donglai, the minister of Dali Temple. Although this department was proposed by him when he integrated the government offices, it had already existed, but it was deposed during the Song Dynasty.
.
Its main responsibilities are to hear cases involving imprisonment or above for officials from the central government and the capital, and to review or re-trial death penalty and difficult cases transferred from the Ministry of Punishment.
This department is particularly important today, and its status is roughly equivalent to that of the Supreme Court in later generations. The Ministry of Punishment is responsible for the trial of important cases, and the Dali Temple is responsible for review. If the Dali Temple fails to pass the review, the judgment of the Ministry of Punishment cannot be implemented, and the only choice is to submit a memorial to the Holy Judgment.
However, the Ministry of Justice is an administrative office after all. It has a complex internal structure and a large number of personnel. The officials Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with were all with strong backgrounds. It is not impossible for them to get through the Ministry of Justice. This is why Zhu Biao was able to restore the Dali Temple.
.
How can a criminal trial be carried out without supervision? Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Biao, both of them have so heavy affairs, how can they have time to keep an eye on the trial of corrupt officials, whether they are accused of being accused or cheating, in this country it is all handled by humans.
As long as you can open up your joints, there is basically nothing you can't do.
At present, there are only about a hundred officials in Dali Temple, and most of them were arranged by Zhu Biao himself. The first condition is that they are clean and honest. It would be a mess if this kind of organization only selects smart people. It is best to be upright.
It is enough that there are more people and the ministers of Dali Temple are smarter.
After Zhu Biao came out of the palace, he thought about the information he had just received from the pro-military Duwei Mansion. Yan Donglai, the minister of Dali Temple, was born in a famous family in Jiangdong.
Return home and continue studying.
Wu Yuannian was recommended to become an official. After that, he performed well in local government. He was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment last year. He performed well and solved several cases. His behavior was also quite good. He also strictly refused bribes from others. This was why Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to take charge of Dali Temple.
reason.
It was rare that Zhu Biao had nothing to do today, so he wanted to meet Yan Donglai. As for the guys in the Imperial College, they had been brainwashed and lectured by Zhu Yuanzhang, and they were expected to temporarily gain a strengthening bonus of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
The car stopped in front of the Dali Temple. Yan Donglai led his subordinates to greet them. Zhu Biao asked them to stand up and looked at the two large stone lions in front of the door. He said: "This stone lion is quite interesting. It was the same as the one in Shuntian Mansion during the Northern Expedition of this palace."
I see something different, what do Yan Qing think?"
Yan Donglai was stunned at first. This was his first contact with His Highness the Crown Prince. He didn't expect that the first sentence would be such a question. However, he had some knowledge and immediately answered: "The image of this stone lion has changed in the past dynasties.
, in the Han and Tang dynasties, he was usually strong and mighty, but in the Yuan dynasty, his body was slender and powerful. The Holy One once said that he was not like a lion but like a jackal, and I thought it was very true."
Zhu Biao nodded without saying a word and walked directly into the government office of Dali Temple. Everyone behind him was confused as to whether the temple minister meant that His Highness was satisfied or dissatisfied.
Officials of the fifth rank and above accompanied him into the lobby. Zhu Biao sat down directly. The officials below stood solemnly. Xu felt no guilt but also calm. Zhu Biao smiled and said: "If I go to the Ministry of Punishment like this, I'm afraid
Some people have been panicking for a long time, why is this?"
The people below looked at each other and really didn't understand why the Prince's Palace treated them like this. They knew what happened to the Ministry of Punishment. Today, the Holy Emperor uses heavy laws to govern the world, and the Ministry of Punishment is naturally the top priority. However, since the first year of Wu, none of the ministers of the Ministry of Punishment have been able to survive.
Years old is because the water in Xingbu is too deep.
Although they knew it, they couldn't say it directly. Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously and continued: "Most of you are from the Ministry of Punishment. It's understandable that I don't want to say more, but you have to know that my restoration of Dali Temple is not
Let you take another share of the dirty money from there."
Yan Dong, the minister of Dali Temple, was the first to reply: "I don't dare. Now that I have received such an important task, how can I dare to take bribes, pervert the law and collude with other tribes? Please give me a clear warning."
Zhu Biao shook his head with a sullen face: "I don't need a clear warning. If you dare to abide by the law and break the law, you will be punished with an extra degree of guilt. In the future, the imperial court will never forgive this type of Yiqi tribe!"
"I came here specifically to remind you today. If you punish without teaching, the punishment will be complicated and evil will prevail; if you teach without punishing, the traitors will not be punished. You are all scholars, so I don't need to explain it to you anymore, right?
"
Zhu Biao looked at the pale-faced officials below who were bending over to receive instruction. He rarely mentioned anything to others. After all, idiots, greedy and evil people are usually hopeless. After all, it was he who restored the Dali Temple himself, except for Dali.
Yan Dong, the minister of the temple, also arranged for the rest of the people outside, so I have to give him some advice.
After being hit with a stick, he had to swallow sweet dates. Zhu Biao's expression calmed down, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much calmer. As Zhu Biao glanced around, even Yan Donglai couldn't help but reach out with his sleeve to wipe his forehead.
It's not that I'm sweating, I just want to move to relieve stress.
