After talking for a while, Yan Donglai felt a little depressed. Zhu Biao stood up and tucked the quilt for him and said, "I hope you will recover soon, and I will entrust you with state affairs."
Without waiting for Yan Dong to say anything, Zhu Biao turned around and left. The Yan family members who were guarding the door hurriedly followed to see him off, and the servants serving in the mansion were all honored.
Who in this capital doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rarely visits the homes of his ministers in person. Except for relatives of the emperor, not every family has the dignity to win the favor of the Crown Prince.
"I will respectfully send you off to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Everyone who needed to visit had visited, and they drove back to the palace. Zhu Biao leaned on the couch with a tired expression. Liu Jin offered a cup of hot tea and reported: "Just now, someone from the Jingjiang Palace has submitted a secret report..."
Zhu Biao was not interested in listening to the end, and waved his hands and said: "That's all, they are all filthy words and whimsical idiots. There is no need to pay attention to them. Let him go."
"promise."
Zhu Biao closed his eyes and thought about it. Things in Zhu Shouqian's house were nothing to worry about, not to mention that even if his father Zhu Wenzheng was still alive, it was just some internal affairs within the clan.
Zhu Biao was thinking about the overall situation of the imperial court. His father's early tour to the north meant that the operation of the imperial court was indeed a bit difficult. This was also due to the lack of talent reserves in the country in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. When it really encountered problems, even officials and scholars came to fill the vacancies.
Not even.
The Imperial College still needs to increase investment. It seems that it is necessary to let Master Song serve as the Imperial College to offer wine. This shows that the Eastern Palace attaches great importance to the expectations of the Imperial College. Among the literati escorted from Jiangnan, a group of people with outstanding character and courage must be selected.
, both teachers and students are welcome.
Those who really had problems have been executed. Most of the people who were escorted here were implicated. Maybe some of them were people who were interested in the scenery and had no intention of pursuing an official career, but it didn't matter.
The world is full of waste, and there is no time to pay attention to human rights aspirations. But those who are useful must be entrusted with tasks. If you want to enjoy yourself without contributing, you will not be able to do it. Even if you are a waste, you must use your talents.
At least they have to wait until Zhu Biao confirms that the court's talent pool is sufficient before they have the right to choose. This is the use of heavy codes in troubled times.
Are the people who have been relocated over the years willing to leave their homes? Are the soldiers guarding the border willing to leave their wives and sons to fight as companions?
No, it's just because the country has needs and the overall situation is the most important thing in everything, then why can the scholars with the best life enjoy it? They hang out in Goulan wine shops and criticize the government wantonly, but are unwilling to serve the country.
I know how to yearn for the enjoyment of scholar-bureaucrats in the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Jiangnan is where the world's civility lies, but this civility should also be down to earth. The superiority of scholars depends on the support of farmers, industry and commerce, and it is also their responsibility to enjoy their blessings, to support the king and bring peace to the people.
After returning to the palace, Zhu Biao went straight to the Jinshen Hall, where Lao Zhu was reviewing the memorial. Although he was going to set off on a northern tour tomorrow, there was nothing he really needed to prepare, so the people below were free to take care of it.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
"Get up. Is your uncle in good health? Have you sent us your regards?"
"My uncle is in good health. Knowing that my father is about to tour the north, I would like to ask my son to send my regards."
Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "That's good. You should take more care of your uncle's health while we are away from Beijing. After all, he is an old man."
Zhu Biao agreed. This also shows that Li Zhen’s help to the impoverished Zhu family in the past made his father sincerely appreciate it. You must know that old Zhu Ke still has an eldest sister-in-law, but he has never mentioned it much. It’s just that
Out of love, he was given the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Prince Consort.
Otherwise, it is just a sad honor without a descendant, and no matter how big the title is, it is just a spectacle. For Lao Zhu, who has such a strong bloodline and relatives, to be so ignored, it shows that we did not get along well in the past.
Naturally, Zhu Biao would not say anything for two people he had never met, but if he ascended the throne in the future, he might have to be crowned again. After all, the Zhu family had too few serious relatives.
"I went to the Yan Mansion and found out who the candidate for the Minister of Dali Temple has been. The Ministry of Punishment has been very restless recently. Don't let anything go wrong. We will decide the execution, punishment and release. Giving them power is not to let them sell out.
OK."
Zhu Biao sat behind his own desk and responded: "I understand, I will arrange the candidates in the next few days, and the Ministry of Punishment will also make arrangements in due course."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction. It was because he was assured of his son's ability that he could go to the northern patrol with peace of mind. Otherwise, in this precarious situation, he could only stay in Beijing and sit in charge.
Some people's sons can be released, but if they are released, it will not be beautiful, and they will be suspected of changing the order day and night. Those in high positions are most afraid of doing this.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said: "Chang Yuchun has already started to return to the court with his troops. We will go north to see him. When he arrives in Beijing, everything will be simple and there will be no need to go out to welcome him with great fanfare."
In fact, Zhu Biao had no intention of making it public. Chang Yuchun was his father-in-law and the grandfather of his only two legitimate sons. This relationship no longer needed to be too deliberate.
King Xu Da of Zhongshan is now in charge of Suzhou. Even if things happen in Jiangnan, he will probably be transferred to the southwest. The power of the capital camp will still be in the hands of King Chang Yuchun of Kaiping. If he gains the throne, others will be weakened.
After talking about a few important things, there is no need to talk about the rest of the trivial matters. Again, the world seems to be undercurrent, but in fact it is very stable. There is no problem in Northern Xinjiang and Jingying, and the world is peaceful.
Zhu Biao moved his wrists, and Liu Jin respectfully moved some memorials from the emperor's imperial case. After a long time, he had to return to the trivial matter of reviewing memorials.
The first is the horse administration. The imperial court has long allowed people in the capital, Luzhou, Zhenjiang, Fengyang and other prefectures, Chuhe and other prefectures to raise horses in Jiangbei for water and grass. The importance of horses in this era is self-evident, and no matter how much it is, it is not enough.
The imperial court's policy seems to be very concrete, but there are many problems in its implementation below, due to various reasons. There are also many people who secretly use it to harm the people for personal gain, but it still needs to be maintained.
Turning to the next memorial, Tang Shengzong was ordered to build the city of Luzhou with a total length of 5,774 feet. It was estimated that one man would build a city of two inches, and a total of 288,700 people would be required to build it.
Tang Shengzong was able to seize the title of Marquis of Yan'an because he was a good post rider, and was ordered to build the Luzhou city wall. Now it seems that the job is done well, but doing it well is also a problem.
Tang Shengzong was a martial artist who had fought with him in the Northern Expedition, and he should be a direct descendant of the East Palace. However, his temperament was not very in line with Zhu Biao's wishes, and he was too close to Li Shanchang. He has always been Hu Weiyong's main supporter in suppressing Wang Guangyang.
In terms of his ability, building a city was not his specialty. If he could finish it so quickly, someone must have given all parties in Luzhou full support. It is obvious who he was at this time.
However, Hu Weiyong has not been having a good time recently. Although Zhongshu Sheng has taken charge of many government offices, his reputation among officials and scholars has declined seriously. As the prime minister, he failed to dissuade the king.
inability.
Even the Huaixi nobles had some doubts about Hu Weiyong's ability to help them secure their interests. You must know that Hu Weiyong rose to power entirely because he was from Huaixi or a disciple of Li Shanchang. As for him, he did not have any title.
If this prime minister is good, that's it. If not, they will find another suitable one. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty are Xu Da, King of Zhongshan, Li Shanchang, King of Changsha, Wang Guangyang, Zhongqin Bo, and Yang Xian and Hu Weiyong.
Xu Da, Li Shanchang and others were from Huaixi, but Yang Xian and Wang Guangyang were not, so they were demoted one after another. Even though the Huaixi nobles were usually silent and seemed to have no involvement in anything, their influence was in all aspects.
This force was the fundamental foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang to win the world, but now it is a scourge that affects the justice of the court. Among them are not only the princes, but also the generals of most local guards, and most of the generals in the Beijing camp.
Born in Huaixi.
The support of the township party is most obvious in the military. As long as you are from Huaixi, no matter what you do, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, you will get twice the result with half the effort. That's all. Over time, most of the upper and middle-level people in the army will be from Huaixi.
The so-called soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. The stability of the Ming Dynasty does not depend on the scholars and scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, but on the guards in the capital. If they are stable, the world will be stable. If they are rebellious, the world will be stable.
