Li Wenzhong still sighed regretfully. Everyone hopes that his son will become a dragon, but Zhu Biao is telling the truth. There is no need for top nobles to be too smart. As long as they hold the emperor's thigh firmly, they will have wealth for generations. Too much
It's easy to get into trouble when you're smart.
What's more, Li Jinglong is not bad, at least he is a good actor, otherwise he would not have ruined the great situation. During the Yongle period, with this special award, he was promoted to Doctor Guanglu, Zuo Zhuguo, Prince Taishi, and increased his annual salary.
Being ranked at the top of the group of ministers has great glory, and those who have contributed to Jingnan are all aggrieved by it.
Zhu Biao took a sip of the tea brought to him by Liu Jin. Li Wenzhong calmed down and said with a smile: "I hope that my child will be foolish and ignorant, and that he will come to you without any trouble. How can there be anything perfect in the world? I am a minister."
Too greedy."
Zhu Biao couldn't comment. After a moment of silence, Li Wenzhong said: "Now that I have no idle time in the palace, there are no white people talking and laughing, and there are many scholars. In the court, not only Wu Xun is close, but also Zhongshu
Many provincial officials and people from the six ministries have sent greeting cards, and I have accepted all the invitations I could."
Zhu Biao nodded slowly and said: "We are divided into civil and military divisions. You don't want to see the officials from Zhongshu Province and the Six Ministries. I have my own arrangements over there. What's more, the purge of officialdom is far from over. We can talk about it as long as those civil servants live to the end."
Something else."
Li Wenzhong nodded. Naturally, he did not want to have too much contact with civil servants. Being the prince's representative in the military was enough. If he continued to covet civil servants, he would be looking for his own death.
Wasn't that what Li Shanchang was like back then? Otherwise, he would have been able to work for five or six years with his body, so he would have returned home early to be honored. This was because of Li Shanchang's hard work and the love between the emperor and his ministers.
Li Wenzhong continued: "Since the Marquis of Gongchang Guo Xing, the other marquises are also getting closer. Every day, Zhao Yong and others are invited to have fun in brothels and restaurants in various places in Beijing."
Zhu Biao frowned and said, "It's not good to go on like this. Even though my father won't blame me, the appearance is too ugly. Cousin, please reduce it a bit, don't be afraid of offending others."
Li Wenzhong smiled bitterly and replied: "Of course I'm not afraid of offending anyone, but I just think it's a pity to use it. They are all people who are good at conquering and fighting, and now they all hold real power. It's really hard to let go like this..."
Zhu Biao waved his hand: "Most of those who are good at fighting are arrogant and powerful generals. My cousin is a clan member, so he should know the dangers of these people. Now they are under my command. Even the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple do not dare to attack them."
, this is not what I want to see."
Li Wenzhong nodded. The position of the crown prince is unbreakable, and there is no need to fight with other princes. No matter whether it is civil servants or military generals, there is no need to keep too many cages. It will be a matter of course in the future.
Zhu Biao then knocked on the table and ordered: "Knock it once first, let them abide by the rules and laws. It doesn't matter how they enjoy themselves, but they must not take bribes and bend the law, let alone bully the good. The world will be peaceful. If they still act according to the rules of the troubled times
, then you will inevitably die sooner or later, the difference is just whether it is the father’s action or my palace’s action.”
Li Wenzhong stood up and bowed and promised: "I understand, good words can't persuade the damned ones. I will kick them out of those who act wantonly."
Zhu Biao waved his hand and asked him to sit down: "It's hard to persuade a damned person with good words. My cousin is right. The imperial court's purge of officials is not just for civil servants. Honorable men are also included in this category. It's just that they are the founding heroes. Father wants to be the first to do so."
Warn them with the blood of civil servants, if they are stubborn..."
Li Wenzhong was a noble, but he was also a relative of the emperor. After hearing this, he did not react much. He nodded solemnly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
After the business was finished, the atmosphere relaxed a lot. Zhu Biao joked casually: "Has Chen Youzong ever come to visit you?"
Li Wenzhong's face turned red: "Here I come, and I also gave you ten thousand taels of silver, which made Your Highness laugh. I relied on Tian'en's family to eat and drink enough, but those brothers who followed me in the war either died or died.
I am disabled and it is difficult to maintain my family's livelihood, so I launched my doctrine on the Jiangnan family."
Zhu Biao's smile became more sincere when he heard this: "I naturally trust my cousin. The court should be responsible for the death of the soldiers. My father also issued an order to settle down. Now I still can't even make a living. It seems that someone is getting rich."
It’s my own pocket.”
Li Wenzhong sighed: "These matters are handled by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. I also led people to seek justice, but they passed the blame to each other and in the end it was settled."
Zhu Biao was not surprised when he heard this: "I will personally keep an eye on this matter. When the north is pacified, the army will definitely adopt the line of elite troops. The life and death of the soldiers will be the top priority."
Li Wenzhong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He knew how many people he could take care of. Only the imperial court could do this kind of thing. As long as His Highness was determined and they looked after him, at least the disabled soldiers could have a livelihood.
Afterwards, the two of them talked about the situation in the north over tea. Li Wenzhong joined the army as a young man, followed Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu and other famous generals and survived a hundred battles. His insights were also unique.
When the conversation was almost over, Li Wenzhong suddenly asked: "It is true that Ying Guo's meritorious service is high, but is this reward too much? After all, Bashu can only defend itself, and it will only be a matter of time before it is conquered. I don't know what your Majesty's intention is.
Could you please clarify your doubts, Your Highness?"
Zhu Biao actually just figured it out and said calmly: "There are indispensable generals in the capital."
Li Wenzhong was stunned when he heard this. Although Duke Feng Sheng of Song Dynasty and Duke Deng Yu of Wei were both out guarding remote areas, there was still King Xu Da of Zhongshan in the capital, and Li Wenzhong thought he was not weaker than others.
Did the Holy One intend to let him and Xu Shuai leave the capital to guard the city? But there is no reason, and there is no war. It is enough to have Chang Shuai in the north. Yunnan and Guizhou in the south are just like Bashu, they just rely on the geographical advantage to stick to it. There is no threat at all. To the west is Wu.
Si Zang is also quite stable, not to mention that what happens inside them cannot be hidden from Ming Dynasty's eyes, and the Japanese pirates along the eastern coast are just scabies.
Seeing that he couldn't think of anything, Zhu Biao pointed out: "What did I tell you just now? The butcher's knife to eliminate corruption will definitely fall on the nobles. Arrogant soldiers and strong generals are the most troublesome problem for the court. You and Xu Shuai
He has many gang members under his command, and crowding them all in the capital will only delay the processing time."
Although Li Wenzhong was well prepared, he never thought it would be too serious. He thought he would just pick some people with bad personalities to scare the monkeys, but since he and Xu Shuai had to be transferred out of the capital, it seemed like he was going to do more than just kill the chickens.
Zhu Biao sighed quietly: "My father is not only the emperor of the Huaixi people, but also the emperor of the people of the world. Even though you and Xu Shuai suppressed him, some princes have gone further and further, relying on their being from Huaixi."
