The four hundred and sixtieth chapters share the prosperity
The so-called national affairs are only rewards and punishments, and the allocation of court resources naturally also has great authority. Although Hu Weiyong took over the civil service group and some of the Huaixi noble banners after Li Shanchang abdicated, his authority is indeed difficult to match that of Li Shanchang.
Comparable.
The most obvious thing is that the distribution of taxes collected by the Ministry of Household Affairs over the years was originally made by Li Shanchang under the leadership of the Zhongshu Provincial Department. After Li Shanchang resigned, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who made the arrangements. The Zhongshu Provincial Department could only participate in the discussions and had no involvement at all.
.
Now that this privilege and power has fallen into the hands of the prime minister again, this is good news for the civil servants as a whole. The prime minister is courteous to all officials, but it also represents the overall will of the officials. It is better to deal with the prime minister than the emperor.
Now, not only the civil servants were shocked, but the Governor's Office and some nobles also looked at Hu Weiyong's back with incomprehensible expressions. Hu Weiyong was also from Huaixi.
As the eunuchs on the side screamed and sang, Zhu Yuanzhang walked down the court and left with the sound of courtiers kneeling and paying homage. Zhu Biao walked down the imperial steps with a smile, said a few words to Hu Weiyong enthusiastically, and presented him with a gift.
congratulate.
"Since Prime Minister Li returned to his hometown to be raised in honor, Prime Minister Hu is still the one who is most in line with the emperor's wishes. No matter how it is, the government affairs of the imperial court are numerous, and His Majesty is always busy. I also have tea and horse affairs to deal with recently, and Mr. Hu is more capable.
Please, don’t let your Majesty down.”
Hu Weiyong raised his eyes and glanced at the enthusiastic Crown Prince. Feeling the envious and jealous eyes behind him, a bone-chilling chill suddenly surged out of his body, and he trembled unconsciously.
He now felt like he was being pushed up a steep and steep mountain. There was no light from the sun or moon around him. He couldn't control his advance or retreat. If he took one wrong step, he would fall into the abyss, fall to pieces, and die.
There is no peace either, and I am afraid that I will be infamy for thousands of years.
Hu Weiyong resisted the desire to tear the disgusting face in front of him, and bowed humbly and said: "I owe you to the Holy One. How can I not be loyal to the King when I take on this great responsibility? If I dare to follow the aspirations of the sages of the past generations, I will definitely live up to the King's love."
.”
Zhu Biao patted his shoulder affectionately and then said to the officials behind him: "You should also work together with the Prime Minister to prosper our Ming Dynasty."
"I accept the order and work together for a prosperous age!"
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Hu Weiyong again, smiled meaningfully, then turned and walked towards the back hall. All the civil and military officials bowed to see him off, and then they all surrounded Hu Weiyong.
There were only a few officials who stayed where they were or turned around and retreated. With the endorsement of the Holy Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Hu really wanted to stand firm, so the civil and military officials naturally became more enthusiastic.
Chen Youzong, the Minister of General Affairs, and Yan Donglai, the Minister of Dali Temple, stood there with their hands folded, looking at the lively crowd that had formed a large group. They each had many thoughts, but they did not dare to think about it in detail.
The people who left directly were the royalists headed by Ying Guogong Nan Xionghou. They would not get involved in any court affairs, nor would they get close to any civil officials, even if he had power over the government and the opposition.
However, Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong, Gongchang Marquis Guo Xingdong, Ping Marquis Han Zheng and others were a little hesitant. If Zhu Biao had not expressed his position, they would have left happily. They would not care about Hu Weiyong. Anyway, no matter how much he controlled, he would not care.
Not on their heads.
But His Highness has made his position clear, so they have to cooperate, otherwise it will not be their own face but His Highness's that will be embarrassed, so they all feel a little embarrassed. After all, they just finished scolding others, and now they have to get in touch with each other, which is really a bit shameful.
.
At this time, Zhu Biao had already caught up with Comrade Lao Zhu, or should be said to have caught up with his father who was waiting for him. After the father and son met, the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs consciously retreated into the distance.
Today Lao Zhu is wearing a crimson robe with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves. There are coiled dragon patterns on the chest and left and right shoulders. It is mainly made of gold. There is a jade belt around the waist, which is made of gold, jade, amber and rhinoceros.
This majestic robe seemed extremely suitable for Zhu Yuanzhang. The aura of the founding emperor made any robe, no matter how luxurious, become a mere embroidery.
Zhu Biao followed his father half a step back, and spoke about what he had just said in the previous court. After listening to it, Zhu Biao exhaled and said: "It's a little too much. This will easily make your foundation sink."
Get a batch in."
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "My father's court has arrogant soldiers, strong generals and corrupt officials, and there are also many under my subordinates in the East Palace. Since there is a suitable opportunity, let's solve it together. I'm afraid I should also wait until the end."
It’s hard to start.”
Although Zhu Biao deliberately controlled the number of direct descendants in the East Palace, it was inevitable that some bad people would sneak in. Although they were not extremely evil, relying on his power, he still bullied the good.
Just like Zhao Yong, the Marquis of Nanxiong. If this guy wants to say he is loyal to Zhu Biao, then he is really loyal. He will go through fire and water without hesitation. But if you want to say he is a good person, you are wrong.
Using one's power to bully others is a common practice.
That is to say, in recent years, he has restrained himself a bit, learned some sense of propriety, and did not force people to death. The censors and officials at the censorship station did not report impeachment for the sake of the prince's face.
As far as Zhu Biao knows, there are by no means a few generals and nobles under his command like Zhao Yong, not to mention the Marquis of Ji'an Lu Zhongheng and the Marquis of Yan'an Tang Shengzong, who have both been dismissed.
These two men were not only the founders of the country, but they also went on the Northern Expedition with Zhu Biao. They could be said to be close confidants. Because of this, the two men became increasingly rampant. They were good at taking post carriages and were dismissed from their ranks. It was just a name.
If it really comes down to culpability, then the two of them can't escape just by being dismissed. Zhu Yuanzhang still intends to keep them both. Firstly, it is to scare the monkeys, lest some people think that they can be unscrupulous after riding in the prince's car. Secondly,
This was also to give Zhu Biao the opportunity to re-ennoble himself to appease his subordinates.
However, Zhu Biao was not ready to re-accept them at this time, including Pingliang Hou Fei Ju and others. Zhu Biao was as good as them, and planned to package them all and send them to Hu Weiyong, so as to save the drama.
Ended with an anticlimax.
What he regretted the most was undoubtedly Fei Ju, the commander of Pingliang Prefecture Guard Station. He actually didn't take it to heart. People's hearts are different. If Shangguan was implicated in every case, it would be a mess.
If Fei Ju honestly asks him to apologize, then nothing will happen. Not only will Zhu Biao not blame him, he will also comfort him so that the ministers below will know that if your people have done something wrong and committed a serious crime, don't do it.
Because I was worried that I would be implicated, I helped him hide and cover everything up, and I could honestly explain everything to him.
It's a pity that after Zhu Biao returned to Beijing and waited for several days, Fei Ju still didn't go to the palace to ask for an audience. He didn't even let his wife enter the East Palace to see Chang Luohua. He had no attitude at all. Zhu Biao was naturally disappointed.
