Chapter three hundred and eighteen brothers and sisters
After listening to Zhu Di's words, Zhu Biao raised his head and patted his forehead. This is why it is difficult to clean up officials. Anyone who can be an official has no relatives and friends. If you ask for help, you can always get it. This kind of human relationship is
Traditionally, if you always engage in deadly feuds, who can guarantee that you will be able to live a smooth life?
Since ancient times, any king has probably thought about purging officials, but only Lao Zhu and Yongzheng were really cruel. Unfortunately, it bottomed out in the end. This thing cannot be eradicated as long as it is still governed by people. Is it just rampant or not?
Generally honest.
After all, those who can become officials are people with strong will and strong desires. Ten years of hard work is not something ordinary people can endure. They must have done something for something, whether it is fame, fortune or money. How many of them are for the peace of the country and the people?
Maybe there will be many such people in the future, but at present there are very few people who have this awareness.
Seeing his eldest brother's worried look, Zhu Xi took the initiative and said: "I just want to put my mind at ease. Brother, don't think too much. My father is determined to eliminate officials and govern. Since my uncle is greedy, he should be punished."
Zhu Biao waved his hand and said: "Don't say anything on the surface. You are my younger brother. Since you have spoken, I, the elder brother, will always plan for you."
"Since my father has not met Concubine Li, it means a lot. After all, Shilang Li is the uncle of both of you, and can also be regarded as a relative of the emperor. I am afraid that my father also wants to scare the monkeys. Unless the mother can be persuaded in this situation, otherwise
It’s useless for anyone to go.”
Zhu Fang sighed: "Not to mention the Li family, even the Ma family will not be able to plead for mercy after committing a crime. Third brother, please stop annoying the elder brother. Didn't I explain it to you when I came here just now?"
Zhu Di ignored the two men and said directly: "Brother, even if we can't save Li Shilang, what about the rest?"
Zhu Di's mind was spinning really fast, and Zhu Biao didn't lie: "First make up for the shortfall, and then let Li Shilang take the initiative to go to Dali Temple to surrender. I will send an order to Dali Temple Qing Yan Donglai, and I will not pursue the rest of the Li family.
, this can be regarded as saving most people.”
Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi stood up and thanked Zhu Biao. They naturally knew that going to the capital at a loss was just a superficial statement. The important point was the order from their elder brother. Otherwise, who would not want to give up their wealth to avoid disaster? Even if their lives were lost, their homes would be ransacked.
Sooner or later, who will care about the gold, silver and stones.
If they rely on their own connections, no one will pay attention to them. The reserve position is determined, and Dali Temple will not give them any face. It will even deal with it strictly to show their loyalty to the prince.
Zhu Biao waved his brother away, then looked at Liu Jin and said, "Go and get three thousand taels."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi hurriedly said: "How can I let my eldest brother pay for this money? The Li family still has some savings? We will just scrape together the rest."
The other two were about to speak, and Zhu Biao waved his hand and said: "You don't know how much money the feudal master has in his hands. Okay, let's go do the work quickly. If we don't make up for the shortfall, we will be arrested by Dali Temple. It will be too late."
.”
The two brothers bowed solemnly. The amount of money given to the prince in the palace was neither too much nor too little, but they also spent money lavishly. Where could they save anything? I thought I would get some more from my mother and concubine. If so,
Isn’t it enough to make up for it with the help of those few good and noble children? In addition, the Li family’s financial resources can also make up for it, but now the eldest brother has helped to solve it all.
After they all left, Zhu Biao got up and moved around. This kind of thing is either not helped or helped to the end. Although it can be solved by giving a thousand taels? But why bother? Since you want your brothers to be grateful, of course you have to be happy?
Will they become a vassal state in the future? Even sending thirty thousand taels will have no effect.
After sending them back, Liu Jin looked at his crown prince with resentment and said, "Master? There are only more than two hundred taels of silver left in the East Palace Treasury..."
(；゜0゜)(╯°□°)╯︵┻━┻
Zhu Biao was stunned. He really didn't care about what he had. He thought about it and said doubtfully: "I remember that the library is not full? Why are there only two hundred taels left?"
Liu Jin sighed and said: "Everything in the library is for royal use. Your Highness and the Crown Princess can use it for their own use, but how can it be done if they are sold?"
Before Zhu Biao could ask questions, Liu Jin continued: "Moreover, 80% of the things inside are from the Crown Princess's dowry, and the rest are mostly tribute medicinal materials given by the Holy Emperor and the Empress to the Crown Princess to replenish her health..."
Zhu Biao was silent, thinking in his mind that all the land in the world, the gold and silver mountains, belonged to this palace. Speaking of Japan, the Iwami Silver Mountain should have been discovered. After the layout of Goryeo was completed, he was afraid that there would be no money.
,snort!
After such a spiritual victory, Zhu Biao was satisfied with his hands and prepared to wake up the princess for a walk. It would be better for the pregnant person to exercise more so that she would have the strength to give birth to the baby.
Liu Jin sighed behind him. His father was also a lavish spender. In fact, he saved a lot of the money in the East Palace. Over the years, he sent people back and forth. Although he never accepted too much from others, he usually didn't charge too much.
No, it's a good thing that those families in the south of the Yangtze River are generous, otherwise the three thousand taels today would cost the princess's dowry.
Not mentioning those unhappy things, Zhu Biao walked on the road with his mind empty. As the mother family of the second and third princes, the Li family estimated that even if he didn't take action, this matter would not involve too many people. After all, even if Lao Zhu didn't care about Concubine Li,
, we also have to take into account the face of our two sons.
I don’t see Concubine Li, I guess it’s because she wants him to be this good person. Now the brothers are nothing, but when they become a vassal in the future, they will all be vassal kings with soldiers and land. It will not be easy to discipline them. Now let them
The younger brothers are convinced that it will be a good thing for the country and the family in the future.
There is no small matter involving future kings. In this world, it is not only the imperial court that operates, but also large and small clans. The combination of the two forms an order. The royal family not only leads the court, but also sets an example for the clans in the world.
, filial piety, family harmony and other positive elements must be present.
To be honest, he was a little uncomfortable with this at first. After all, the concept of kinship was weak in later generations, and most of them lived their own lives and only moved around during the holidays.
But in an era of underdeveloped productivity, clan is not a cage that restricts individual freedom, but a protective umbrella. Every family cannot survive here. Without the protection of clan, no matter what you do, you will be eaten up sooner or later, and anyway, you won’t
Someone stands up for you.
That's why he puts so much effort into taking care of his brothers and sisters. Even if he's a little tired, there's nothing he can do about it. He wants to do too many things and really doesn't have the energy to spend time with his brothers. As long as they behave well, they can be easily settled in the future. The world is so big anyway.
, if you want to cause harm, go ahead!
It doesn't matter if you don't want to. He can't afford the wealth and honor of several generations of nephews and grandnephews. As long as he sets the rules, it's better than everyone staring at this dragon chair.
