Flowers are not as red as a hundred days, and people are not as good as a thousand days. Let alone the maternal grandfather's family, so what if they are close relatives?
If the status is unstable in the future, that's fine. We still have to rely on the strength of the mother's family and the ancestral family. But what if the status is stable?
Judging from the current situation, according to Lao Zhu's idea, as long as Yang'er is healthy and not stupid, he will definitely be established as the emperor's grandson as soon as possible. As the heir of the Ming Dynasty, he will appeal to the Tiandi Sheji Ancestral Temple and the civil and military groups.
The ministers and the common people have raised him to be the orthodoxy of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers.
In this way, let alone others, even Zhu Biao cannot easily establish another heir. This is the power of orthodoxy. As long as it is orthodox, it will naturally gain the support of many traditional stability-maintaining officials. Without major faults, no one can
Don't move lightly.
By then, the Chang family will be in an extremely embarrassing situation. I believe Chang Yuchun has thought about this, and even Lan and Chang Luohua have not thought of it at all.
It was just that I ignored it deliberately and took a chance. After all, it would be many years later.
Zhu Biao responded: "The Feng family's daughter is naturally good. Since my mother-in-law is interested, let's wait until my father-in-law returns to Beijing before contacting the Feng family. I will also send a letter to Song Guogong tomorrow."
Chang Luohua thanked him softly. The marriage between the Chang family and the Feng family was not a trivial matter. Without the nod from his father or husband, the Feng family would never dare to agree to this matter.

"The humble minister impeached the pro-military governor Jiang Yu for being arrogant and domineering and interfering with military orders. He should be punished in accordance with the court's laws!"
"I second the proposal, and I would like to ask you to come down and punish Jiang Gu!"
"Your Highness, I want to impeach Zhao Dong, the commander-in-chief of the Left Army of the Beijing Camp, for bending the law for personal gain and shielding salt dealers from transporting salt into the capital without permission. He should be punished and beheaded!"
"Three feet of ice does not last in a day. The illegal entry into Beijing may not be limited to just one or two generals. I would also like to ask Your Highness to order a thorough investigation of the soldiers in the army and the troops guarding the city."
"The humble minister wants to impeach the Marquis of Runan for leaving his post without permission and ignoring the prohibition on drinking. He wants to be severely punished by Your Highness for depriving himself of public service!"
"Your Highness, your ministers are waiting..."
Zhu Biao stood on Danbi, looking solemnly at the impeachment officials below, waving his spearheads randomly to muddy the water, and none of the officials above the third rank said a word.
Zhu Biao glanced at Li Cunyi, the minister of Taipus Temple, and saw that his complexion was sallow and his expression was gloomy. Feeling his eyes, he shrank even more unconsciously, and his already lowered head lowered.
The martial arts warriors did not watch the excitement today, and continued to speak out, first targeting Jiang Wei, and then trying to find ways to excuse the Marquis of Runan. Although Mei Sizu was not from Huaixi, he was also a serious Marquis.
They are their brothers in life and death.
The warriors of the Ming Dynasty are generally very united. After all, they fought together through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Anyone who didn't get killed was killed. It had only been a few years since the founding of the country, and their friendship had not deteriorated yet.
What's more, they often go out to drink while on duty. Naturally, they don't want the punishment to be too severe, otherwise it will be uncomfortable for them in the future.
Zhu Biao turned his attention to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and said: "Jiang Yu is currently being held in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. How does Chen Aiqing think he should be dealt with appropriately?"
Chen Mingjie came out and responded: "Anyone who obstructs the military order should be punished. However, the commander-in-chief Zhao Dong and the officials who issued the transfer order did have the intention of bending the law for personal gain. It can be seen that Jiang Yu's obstruction was justified and should be forgiven."
The martial officers immediately spat on Chen Mingjie's back, and shouted that Chen Mingjie must have received the benefits, or was afraid of the retaliation of the pro-military Duwei Mansion, and was not qualified to be a court official at all.
Chen Mingjie paid no attention to the objection at all, and after speaking, he retreated and stood with his head bowed. Of course, the fact that Jiang Yu left the prison and entered the palace last night could not be hidden from him, the Minister of Punishment.
Gu Xi/span>No matter whether they are civil servants or military generals, it is impossible for them to have any goodwill towards the hawks and dogs of the pro-military Duwei Mansion. They are naturally hostile to each other. If Jiang Yu did not enter the palace last night, he would not mind adding insult to injury today.
But since the prince would deliberately summon a person in prison, it means that his highness does not want Jiang Yu to die.
Several more censors spoke out, thinking that what the minister said was wrong. Even if Jiang Wei knew that there was something wrong with this order, he should immediately ask for an order from His Highness the Crown Prince, or lurk at the gate of the city to catch the thieves, rather than directly Block military orders.
Zhu Biao made the final decision: "I will remove Jiang Wan from his official position and send him to the Imperial Township to serve in the construction of the imperial mausoleum."
Even the martial arts officers were a little surprised when this statement came out. They thought it would be good to keep Jiang Yu in prison for a longer period of time or give him dozens of military sticks.
The civil servants were not the masters of suffering, so they naturally had no objections. Only the censors still felt that it was too light and felt that the canon punishment should be made clear.
It had been a day or two since the censors had been separated by the road, so everyone pretended not to hear what they were saying, neatly bowed and saluted: "Your Highness is wise!"
Striking while the iron was hot, Zhu Biao was too lazy to listen to their arguments, so he repeated yesterday's instructions. Zhao Dong and other people involved in the case were all executed, and Marquis Runan was still examined by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment of the Governor's Office.
After the Wu Xuns were confirmed, they stopped arguing. Normally, the Three Law Divisions, that is, the Yushitai Punishment Department and the Dali Temple would discuss the crime. Your Highness graciously allowed the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office to discuss the crime, so it would basically be fine. .
Most of the people in the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office were his own, and the Ministry of Punishment expected that he did not dare to say anything. Such a small punishment and a big warning were over. His Highness really still misses the old relationship, and the warriors are very excited.
With this, the foreplay was over. Chen Youzong, the Minister of General Affairs, took a breath and was about to step out of the queue, but he was not as fast as Li Cunyi. Taipusi Qing went straight out of the queue and knelt on the ground.
Zhu Biao was not surprised when he saw this. Although the laws of this dynasty were strict, it was always better to admit it proactively than to be reported by others, and there were also examples of amnesty in the third year of Hongwu.
It was an official from the Ministry of Industry. Relying on his authority, he withheld the precious wood sent from the Southwest Prefecture and prepared to transport it to Jiangnan to buy it for a big price. However, as the court tightened its crackdown on corruption, he saw his colleagues being beheaded one by one. The official was in panic all day long after the house was confiscated, and finally he couldn't help but take the initiative to admit what he had done to Lao Zhu and hand over all the proceeds.
Lao Zhu didn't intend to forgive, but Empress Ma still advised, who has no fault? Acknowledging mistakes can greatly improve things, and torture must be waived to suppress corruption, otherwise it will be too much.
After all, it was just to steal the wood, not to bully the people and steal the people's wealth, so I just took back all those who were greedy, demoted them to the third level, and kept them as officials.
Li Cunyi kowtowed and said: "Weichen received a letter from home last night. It was written by Weichen's brother himself. In it, he earnestly instructs me to be loyal, honest and self-restrained, and not to live up to the grace of the Holy One and live up to the tradition of the Li family..."
"But it seems that Li Siqing didn't do it! Your Highness, I also have important matters to report to you. Li Cunyi, the minister of Taipu Temple, is corrupt and perverting the law. I would like to ask your highness to thoroughly investigate the accounts of Taipu Temple!"
Chen Youzong came out and interrupted Li Cunyi's speech. He bowed and reported: "Last night, there were many people coming and going from the eunuch Taipu. It seems that Li Siqing knew that something was going on, so he wanted to fill the gap as soon as possible."
Zhang Han, the young minister of Taipu Temple, came out and said: "Your Majesty, many accountants did come to Taipu Temple last night, and several carts of money were also brought. I saw it with my own eyes. As a young minister, I am responsible for this.
When I went to inquire, I was warned that this was Li Siqing's order, so don't interfere."
Zhang Guanglie, the minister of Dali Temple, spoke sternly: "I am an official of the imperial court of Taipus Temple, and Shaoqing is a fourth-rank adjutant. How can I be called meddling in other people's business? Zhang Shaoqing should immediately take down those crazy people!"
Zhang Han turned his eyes to Hu Weiyong in the front and said coldly: "What Zhang Siqing taught you is that Xiaguan Yuan was also preparing to do this, but he saw another person, it was Tu Zhongcheng, so he hurriedly turned around and put away the backup before them.
Please keep the account book and present it to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhang Guanglie became even more furious when he heard this: "Every government office in the imperial court performs its own duties. Tu Jie is not an official of Taipu Temple, and there is no imperial edict or edict from His Highness the Crown Prince. Why did he go to Taipu Temple late at night to invite His Highness?"
Order that Li Cunyi and Tu Jie be taken into custody and interrogated by the Sanfa Division!"
