The emperor's guard of honor was overwhelming. Zhu Biao led the clan's civil and military officials and stood there for nearly half an hour. It was not until the team could no longer be seen that they prepared to return to the capital.
Standing next to Zhu Biao is naturally Jin Wang Zhu Feng. The second brother rarely has half a day of free time without having to go to the fields to tend the crops. Now he looks much darker and rougher than Wu Xun.
"Hey, big brother..."
Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why don't you go back to the palace first? My father has told me that when you come back, you must taste the food grown by your son."
Zhu Ming's face turned bitter: "The third and fourth sons have all gone out to be cool. Big brother, I am also your biological brother. So you favor one over the other..."
Zhu Biao was too lazy to pay attention to Zhu Xi, who was still chattering. He turned to Hu Weiyong and said: "Tomorrow's morning meeting will be as usual. Hu Xiang will lead all the ministers back to their errands. He will lead six ministers to Jinshen Hall before Youshi."
Hu Weiyong bowed and agreed, and the other officials followed closely behind, and then rushed back to their respective government offices. Although there were corresponding officials left in the capital, there were still many government affairs that required their help when manpower was tight.
It was even better for Wu Xun. Zhu Biao mainly told them to be careful in their words and deeds and not to cause trouble here, otherwise he would not be merciful.
However, this effect is obviously mediocre. Since the founding of the country, the warriors have been warned like this by the emperor every now and then. They have long been accustomed to it, but on the surface, it is still passable.
Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously when he saw this. If these bastards were so easy to train, then their father and son wouldn't have to work so hard. They are all dozens of years old, and their temperaments and temperaments have already been determined. It only takes a few words.
Modified.
The only thing we can do is to catch a few jumping Huans, kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, and make them lose face. Then wait for Chang Yuchun to come back and we will be safe. You must know that unlike Xu Da, Chang Yuchun faced off against the generals of Wu Xun.
You're welcome. If you lose your temper, you can hang them on a tree and whip them.
King Shen Zhi of Kaiping was bold and courageous. When he went out, he defeated the enemy and when he entered the palace, he was never defeated. No one in the army was dissatisfied. It was widely said that Kaiping's martial arts was so sharp that he was conquered by half the world. Even Zhu Yuanzhang himself said that he planned to open up the world.
In terms of merit, Yuchun ranks among the seven or eight.
In the army, except for Chang Yuchun who respected Xu Da a little, the others were no more than younger brothers. They were all treated like Lan Yu. If they could listen to what others said, they would just say a few words. If they couldn't, they would give him a slap in the face.
In this way, Zhu Biao led all his brothers back to the palace. The princesses were only sent to the palace gate, and the princes went out of the city to see each other off. As for Yang'er, of course, they were only sent to the palace gate.
However, the fact that the emperor carried the emperor's eldest grandson all the way to Fengtianmen naturally spread, and everyone knew the general meaning. The emperor's intention to establish a direct heir and eldest son has never changed in the slightest.
It can be seen that when the emperor's eldest grandson is older, the emperor will probably be canonized as the emperor's grandson and awarded a golden book and treasure seal to become the orthodox country and the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
This also made many people lose their ideas. Of course, this small thought is not serious at all. After all, the Holy Dragon Body is in good health in the Spring and Autumn Period, and His Highness the Crown Prince has not yet reached the age of weakness. I don’t know when it will take a hundred years for the two of them.
Not to mention the two infant grandsons.
Soon after returning to the palace, Zhu Biao told his brothers that they should study hard and practice archery and horses carefully. He did not need to suppress his brothers, but hoped that they would all excel.
In the end, the chattering second child was sent away, leaving only the fifth child, Zhu Ji. Zhu Ji was naturally half a step behind his royal brother. Although he was still young, he had a gentle and elegant temperament, which was somewhat similar to Zhu Biaozhen.
"Father gave instructions before leaving that your king-making ceremony will be held within these two months, and the Ministry of Rites has also begun preparations."
Zhu Rui hesitated for a moment and said: "Of course, it is up to my father and brother to make the decision. However, I have recently heard rumors in the palace that the title of my brother's king proposed by the Ministry of Rites is King Wu. Is this too excessive? If it is true, please reject it. Let’s decide.”
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Among you, the one whom the emperor loves the most is you. As for the king's title, the Ministry of Rites does not have the guts. The king of Wu was personally appointed by the emperor, and I think it is very good for him as a brother."
Zhu Ji was still a little worried. He had always been precocious and self-aware. The emperor's elder brother was gifted, and the crown prince's position was stable. The government and the public did not care about him at all. So he just wanted to be a peaceful prince and enjoy wealth. If he could have the chance to do so in his lifetime, he was still a little worried. If you do things that benefit the people of the world, you will have no regrets.
The title of King Wu is too noble and prestigious, but its actual significance is not great. It may even become the source of disaster in the future. It is really like useless.
Zhu Biao stopped and patted his shoulder and said: "If the country was named Wu when the country was founded, then why can't I give you the title of King Wu? Even if my father wants it, my brother will stop it. Isn't it that I can't trust you?" , but to protect you."
Zhu Biao said it thoroughly, and Zhu Tong breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that his father and brother might have a deeper meaning in doing this. They might want to test them or the civil and military ministers below. He would have to be more cautious and restrained in the future, and so on. Please change the title again in a few years.
The two of them walked forward again, and Zhu Zhu looked calm and said: "After the Mongols conquered the world, why did they call it the Yuan Dynasty?"
Zhu Biao answered with his hands behind his back: "The rise of Khitan and the founding of the Liao Dynasty represented a vast country of iron and iron. The rise of the Jurchens and the founding of the country of gold were based on the idea that gold could defeat iron. As expected, gold destroyed the Liao."
"As for the rise of Mongolia, it is difficult to call it the Hu Dynasty and the Mongolian Dynasty, so I chose the Great Qianyuan Dynasty from the Book of Changes. All things began and they unified the sky."
As he spoke, he walked to the side of Fengtian Hall, and Zhu Biao stopped: "And I, the Ming Dynasty, is the next sentence. The Ming Dynasty is the end of the Ming Dynasty. The six people are completed in time, and they ride on the six dragons to control the sky."
"Of course, it's not just this consideration, but the title of this country is really well chosen, and I like it very much. The sun and the moon are bright, and those who are wise are awakened. After awakening, they realize. I hope that I can be born in the morning after the dust is gone. It illuminates thousands of flowers in the mountains and rivers of foreign lands."
"I hope the sky will follow people's wishes, and the wishes of the Emperor's brother will come true as soon as possible."
"Go back and get ready. As you know, the imperial court has been busy lately. After my father left the capital, my brother has no more time to worry about. I hope you can share more of your time with the hospital."
"promise."
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he walked towards Jinshen Hall and sat down in his exclusive seat as usual. His eyes unconsciously glanced at his father's usual seat. He was really not used to Lao Zhu's absence.
Zhu Biao first approved some urgent reports that needed to be dealt with urgently, such as Li Wenzhong's report in northern Xinjiang and Xu Da's report in Suzhou. After the defeat in the winter, the Wara Tatars no longer dare to provoke major disputes, but there are scattered The harassment continued.
Li Wenzhong asked Shaoqing to ride into the grassland and sweep around, hunt rabbits and kill several of his tribes who usually like to rob, so as to make them sober and understand who has the initiative.
Zhu Biao had no reason to refuse, but he was a little worried about Su Zhi, the tea horse minister who had brought the salt, tea and pot of food to the grassland. However, he expected that nothing would happen. Su Zhi mainly went to the territories of the Tatar kings for exchanges.
trade.
The grassland has been blocked by the Ming Dynasty, and the private traders in previous years have also been arrested. If the Tatar kings still want to enjoy their old lives, they must ensure the safety of this official trade caravan from the Ming Dynasty.
Looting some supplies was insignificant to the Ming Dynasty, and to the Tatar kings, those supplies were not enough to distribute fundamentally. As for the people killed by the way, it was not worth mentioning. On the contrary, it would attract fierce revenge from the Ming Dynasty.
According to the current news, Su Zhi has exchanged a large amount of gold, silver and horses. It can be seen that the Tatar kings of Kublai Khan's line did bring all the gold and silver that Yuanting collected in the past to the grassland.
Gold and silver were meaningless to the grasslands where the monetary system had collapsed and caravans were blocked by the Ming Dynasty. But for Zhu Biao, gold and silver reserves were necessary for him to issue banknotes.
Paper money must be circulated not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the world, so it must not be as random as the treasure banknotes issued by the Ming Dynasty in history. Otherwise, Zhu Biao would have asked the court to enforce the paper money to collect the world's wealth.
