Kunning Palace has been bustling for a while. The concubines who have no heirs are here for Empress Ma. Who in this harem doesn't want to rely on the Queen, not to mention women like them who have no heirs to rely on. Those who have heirs are all for Empress Ma.
Those who came with Zhu Biao, their children will have to live under their elder brothers from now on. Honor, disgrace, gain or loss can all be decided by a single thought.
Outsiders may not know it clearly, but how could they not know how deeply the Holy Emperor favors the prince? A grounding is insignificant. The prince cannot leave the East Palace, but the other princes do not have the chance to see the emperor during this period, which shows the Holy intention.
Zhu Biao did not sit on the upper seat but led his younger brothers to sit down below. After all, he was married and had a son, so it was good to stay away from the concubines. After two cups of tea, the concubines led the princes
The princesses took their leave and left.
The palace maids and eunuchs neatly packed up the tea chair and stool cushions. Only then did Zhu Biao have time to sit next to his mother. Empress Ma stretched out her hand and stroked her son's temples and said, "He looks a little taller, and he seems to be a little fatter."
Zhu Biao obediently leaned over and said with a smile: "It can be seen that my son has been doing well in recent days. Without the trouble of writing documents, he naturally started to feel relaxed and fat."
"You're already a father, and you haven't had your formal appearance yet. By the way, are Wang and your warm jade body still in good shape?"
"It's safe. The imperial doctor is going to ask for pulse every day to stabilize the fetus. It is estimated that in autumn and winter, you will have more grandchildren. Chenghuan will be born."
Empress Ma was delighted when she heard this. She had been living in exile in the morning, and then she got married and joined her husband in the war in the north and south to start a new dynasty. Now she is trapped among the harem and concubines. To be honest, it is very boring, but now she only hopes to have more grandchildren.
My grandson was with me to relieve my boredom.
The palace maid and eunuch served new refreshments. Zhu Biao took a look at Liu An, who was standing at the end with a bow. However, he was no longer as smart as before, and his waist was much larger than the others. He was very tall.
I have also lost a lot of weight, which shows that I have been having a hard time recently.
Zhu Biao waved his hand for everyone to go down to serve him, then he picked up a piece of Baihua cake and took a bite. Queen Ma looked at Liu An's retreating figure and said, "This is someone from your palace. Concubine Shu sent him here some time ago."
, I just left him here, are you going to take him away later?"
Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "He is Liu Jin's godson. He was quite powerful in the past, but he used the power of his sons to interfere in the affairs of the slaves in the harem. He even dared to arrange the slaves who were kicked out by Concubine Shu to be sent to Concubine Ning's palace.
."
Zhu Biao usually did not dare to interfere in the affairs of the harem, not only to avoid his father's private affairs, but also because his mother should make the final decision on all matters in the harem, especially when it came to concubines.
"After some time, let him learn some rules from his mother."
"They are all young. It would be great if they knew their mistakes and could correct them. Don't be too harsh on them."
"Yes, I understand."
"I heard your brothers arguing about something when I came in just now. It seems like the second brother and the fifth one are both talking, right?"
Naturally, Zhu Biao would not hide it from his own mother, not to mention it was not a big deal, so he told Zhu Biao that he was going to let Zhu Ji be in charge of compiling the medical canon of Tai Hospital.
Empress Ma was quite fond of the child Zhu Xi. She was happy for him at first. After all, participating in the compilation ceremony was a great charity, and the prince could at least gain a reputation by participating in it.
But I'm still a little worried: "Ju'er is smart and eager to learn, but she's still young. It's best not to miss the real deal. As you said, this move is an important matter for the people of the world."
Zhu Biao said: "With the imperial doctors here, it is difficult for famous doctors in ordinary states to participate in it. The prince's visit is just to show his name, and it will not delay the official business. I think that such good deeds that will leave a lasting name in history will eventually come to pass."
It’s best if everyone participates, and at first glance, Lao Wu is the most suitable.”
"That's good. Your father should also agree. Xiaowu learns quickly. A few days ago, Mr. Yu said that there was nothing to teach. He just wanted to see how hard he studied. At this time, he was released as an errand to practice.
I can help you in the future."
"Your father has no brothers to help him, and now he is struggling everywhere. Even if the emperor is unable to do anything, he still needs to unite his brothers."
Empress Ma has a clear view. Now there is no need to worry about other princes seizing the throne. Publicly, privately, emotionally, and rationally, one should appease the kings and make good use of their power and abilities. Sometimes they are far better than the courtiers.
use.
It can be seen from the fact that Chu King Zhu Feng rushed to Shanxi to quickly provide disaster relief and calm the people. If the princes were of the same mind as the emperor, then the imperial mission for disaster relief would be completely unnecessary. They would still be restricted by local officials and fear the power behind corrupt officials.
, and the prince does not need to worry too much. Cutting the mess quickly is the way to calm the people.
Zhu Biao naturally had the same idea. If he were the prince of another dynasty, then at this time he would definitely use all his secret and covert means to suppress the other princes, wishing to drive them all away without leaving any future troubles.
But now there is no need to do this. To be honest, if he were to be replaced by another prince now, he would feel despair. This is not a problem that can be solved by tactics at all. The crown prince has become the king.
If he dies, the only way is to pray to God and worship Buddha and hope that he will die suddenly.
While talking, there was a sound of fast footsteps, and then there was the sound of a group of slaves prostrating themselves to greet each other. The mother and son stood up to greet each other, and soon a figure walked in at a fast pace.
"Sister, we were starving to death. We came over quickly when we heard they left."
Empress Ma said angrily: "If they hear this, the harem will become lively again, and I will have to take care of it then."
"Hahaha, we don't want our family to have a quiet meal. If we come early, they won't leave, and we will have to eat together as a group, which will be troublesome."
The main hall of Kunning Palace is spacious and majestic, but it is not a place for family talk. The three of them went to the smaller side hall and sat down together. Soon the dinner meal was served, including four dishes, one soup and a plate of sesame cakes. This is the emperor and queen.
The prince's dinner is here.
Lao Zhu looked very happy and ate four and a half sesame seed cakes in one go. You should know that ordinary people are full after eating two. Zhu Biao had just eaten dim sum, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he still ate two.
, Queen Ma only used a bowl of soup and half a cake.
After dinner, Zhu Biao said: "The fifth brother is not young anymore, why not take advantage of the opportunity of cousin Tiezhu to be crowned king together?"
The title of king is not a trivial matter, especially when it involves Li Wenzhong, so the Ministry of Rites is still making preparations, and now Zhu Tie is also on the way. Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said: "It's okay, but the title of the king and the vassal have to be discussed."
Empress Ma told her husband what the mother and son had just talked about. Zhu Yuanzhang did everything he could. Compiling a medical code would benefit the country and the people and would be passed down to future generations. It would be honorable for a father to have a son to participate. He originally thought it was Biao'er who wanted him.
I did it, so I didn’t interfere.
Zhu Biao was too lazy to take care of it. He had no interest in medicine, and given his status and status, it was a sure thing that he would be named in the history. It was a big surprise that he was not named in the history.
To him, this matter is just a small embellishment of his achievements, because he was the one who initiated the preparations. No matter how many people participated in the compilation, it would be of no use. He might as well let his younger brother do it.
"My father didn't originally want to give the fifth king the title of King Wu. I think it's good, so let's leave it at that."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "The king's title is nothing, it just shows a little favor. It's just that the land of Wu is related to the court's taxes, and it can never be given to the vassal king."
"The fifth child is different from the second, third and fourth child. They are not the ones to lead the army and sit in command. I thought it would be better to give the king a false title and enclose the vassal land, and just take the name."
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly entangled and said: "We are actually thinking of putting all the princes in the vassal area in the future. It is easy for the princes and princes to have undue thoughts when they stay in Beijing."
Whether it is better to drive the princes out of the center of political power and raise them up, or to keep them all under the nose of the capital, is a matter of benevolence and wisdom.
