First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Knowing people and making good use of them is also a must-have course for a gentleman, just like Daotong, it’s okay to be a lowly official now, but it’s just that he doesn’t have a good relationship with his colleagues. If he is promoted to other departments or sent to other places later, He will definitely confront those corrupt officials, and he will definitely not be in the same dust as the light.

In history, it is not surprising that this person would be killed by Zhu Liangzu. This is indeed not an administrative character. Even if Zhu Biao hopes that local officials will be clean and honest, he does not want them to be like the official censor. Someone has to endure it. Wronged to do practical work.

After talking to Daotong for a few words, let him go down, and it will be useless to continue talking. This person's vision and structure are not enough, and he can't take on a big responsibility, so Zhu Biao plans to give him the treatment of a student of the Imperial College, and first assist the imperial envoy.

Before he left, he remembered about his sister and future brother-in-law, and ordered the Minister of Rites to revise the regulations on son-in-law. Fortunately, Zhu Bianben was in charge of this matter, and it was the first year of the founding of the country, so the revision of the regulations was not a big deal.

Restrictions still need to be imposed. Consorts are not allowed to enter the Ministry of Education and cannot lead troops. The rest can be relaxed. There is still a princess mansion to be built. Zhu Biao doesn’t want the golden branches and jade leaves of Tian’s family to serve his in-laws, but concubines should also stay. You can't make out with the young couple, it depends on the old mother's intentions.

Then he got in the car and went back to the palace. Zhu Biao wanted to go in when he passed Duke Cao’s mansion. After returning from Hangzhou, he hadn’t found time to talk to Li Wenzhong.

After all, Li Wenzhong is his cousin, Zhu Biao must give him the respect he deserves, and he told Liu Jin beside him: Tomorrow, I will take out two ginseng tributes from Korea from the warehouse and send them to Cao Guogong's mansion, and I will prepare something else. Prepare.

Liu Jin was a little distressed when he heard the words, but he could only agree to the promise. Zhu Biao didn't care at all, what was outside of him was nothing, and the mere treasures could not be said to exist in the palace, but they were gone. It was enough to issue a Taoist decree to let Goryeo pay tribute.

It was already dusk when he returned to the palace, Zhu Biao looked at the sun slanting to the west, and Yang Guang's poems suddenly appeared in his mind, where the setting sun was about to fall, he looked somber and lost his soul.

After staring at it for a long time, Liu Jin on the side said eagerly: Master, be careful with your eyes. It's not good to look at the sun for a long time. Turn around quickly.

Zhu Biao breathed out and went straight to the Jinshen Hall. It was summer and the imperial study room was not ventilated. Zhu Yuanzhang had already moved his official duties to the Jinshen Hall, but an eunuch in the distance was about to shed tears. Should he go back? Reporting that the crown prince is coming? But if the crown prince changed his way and returned to the East Palace, he would really lose his head.

Of course Zhu Biao didn't know, but he was indeed going to see Comrade Zhu this time. After entering the Jinshen Hall and meeting with Zhu Biao, Lao Zhu didn't raise his head and continued to deal with official duties. Zhu Biao said on his own Start the afternoon itinerary.

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, and Lao Zhu also finished approving, the father and son walked out of the hall with their hands behind their backs and started walking without talking, walking in silence for half an hour.

After we had used the meal together, Lao Zhu said: The candidates for the imperial envoy have probably been decided, but I don't know how many people will be able to serve their duties faithfully.

Zhu Biao took a mouthful of Qibao duck meat and said, I'm afraid the first batch of imperial envoys probably won't be very responsible. After all, most people are still waiting and watching. The storm that sweeps the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled softly: Then they will be disappointed. We are going to sweep the world away and completely remove the corruption that has been cultivated in the officialdom for hundreds of years. These imperial envoys are serious about their work. If they dare to cover up and hide it, they will still do it. One step ahead of those corrupt officials.

Zhu Biao nodded, and if he didn't kill the last batch of people, they thought it was a joke to clear up the officials. Headed by Zuo Shilang Kaimeng of the Ministry of Punishment, there were four official imperial envoys in total, and there were also four unannounced imperial envoys headed by Yushi Youcheng.

Zhu Biao looked at the candidates, and found that none of them were of high grade, but they belonged to different forces. Some were Wang Guangyang's old friends, some were Hu Weiyong's subordinates, and there were former Yuan officials, Yushi Yanguan, and so on.

Zhu Biao also found an interesting thing. Their inspection routes were very vague, and the areas they were responsible for overlapped. That is to say, it is very likely that the two visited the same place back and forth, so their reports may be different... ...

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and suddenly said: Biao'er, in the future, you should help them plead more in the court. Let's say that the Yi and Qi tribes just beg for the whole family to be executed. We say that they will all be executed at the end of the day. You help them beg. A decisive decision.

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched when he heard the words. Does this make a big difference? They are all going to die, but Zhu Biao also understands that his father is giving them some hope, and the rest of the province are scared to resign. up.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the chair and said: Officials are actually the same as ordinary people. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will not rebel. We are going to be a tyrant. We must give them some hope, so that they can feel that they can be a benevolent king if we are tortured to death. lived under it.

Zhu Biao nodded helplessly. His father had a very deep routine, but he was right to think so. A dog would jump over a wall if he was in a hurry, and a rabbit would bite people if he was in a hurry, not to mention a group of powerful officials in the frontier.

What's more, in the future, we will attack the nobles who hold the military power. They are really capable of cholera. Even if they will be suppressed in the end, the damage they cause in a few days is enough for the court to spend several years. Kung fu makes up.

If the emperor and the crown prince were equally jealous, it would be too hopeless. Someone would probably do something stupid when they knew they were going to die. People born in troubled times would have the guts to tear the emperor down.

And if the current prince is kind, then they will hold a glimmer of hope. Don't underestimate this glimmer of hope. Those in despair will take this as a life-saving straw. The more fluke.

What if the emperor spares me this time for the prince's sake?

Even if I die, it is not a loss for the prince to save my family's life.

The Crown Prince is the future heir apparent, and the Holy Majesty prefers him, so if His Highness asks for a chance, it is better than implicating the nine clans in the end.

Lao Zhu is going to pave the way for his son. The benevolent king is what all the officials and people in the world look forward to. The harder Zhu Yuanzhang kills, the officials can only shelter under the prince's wings in order to protect themselves, because when the time comes In the end, only the prince is their hope. What is what everyone expects, this is what everyone expects!

Zhu Biao is also aware of this, why Qianlong is the most comfortable, is it because the officials are all afraid of being killed by Yongzheng, and it is rare to have a lenient one, so naturally he has to be coaxed, lest he will make him anxious, learn His father cleared up the government.
