First Prince of Ming Dynasty

The so-called national affairs, only rewards and punishments, and the distribution of court resources is naturally a great authority. Although Hu Weiyong took over the civil service group and some Huaixi honorary banners after Li Shanchang abdicated, his authority is indeed difficult to match Li Shanchang. comparable to.

The most obvious thing is the distribution of taxes collected by the Ministry of Households over the years. Originally, Li Shanchang led the Ministry of Education to make the decision. After Li Shanchang left office, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who made the arrangements. .

Now this honor and power has once again fallen into the hands of the prime minister, which is good news for the civil servants collectively. The prime minister is extremely courteous, but it also represents the overall will of the officials. Dealing with the prime minister is better than dealing with the emperor.

But now not only the civil servants are shaken, but the Governor's Mansion and some nobles are also looking at Hu Weiyong's back with inexplicable expressions. Hu Weiyong is also from Huaixi.

As the eunuchs blew their whips and sang, Zhu Yuanzhang walked away amidst the courtiers kneeling and respectful, and Zhu Biao walked down the imperial steps with a smile, said a few words to Hu Weiyong enthusiastically, and sent him congratulate.

"Since Li Xiang returned to his hometown to be honored and raised, Hu Xiang is the most suitable for the emperor's wishes. That's fine. The court has a lot of government affairs, and the Holy Majesty can't be too busy. Recently, the palace also has tea and horse affairs to deal with. There are many Hu Xiang who are capable. Please, don't disappoint the Holy One."

Hu Weiyong raised his eyes and glanced at the enthusiastic Prince Highness, feeling the envious and jealous eyes behind him, a bone-chilling chill suddenly gushed out of his body, and he shivered unconsciously.

He now feels that he has been forcibly pushed up a steep and steep mountain, and there is no sun, moon, or light around him. There is no peace, and I am afraid that I will be infamous for thousands of years.

Hu Weiyong resisted the desire to tear up the disgusting face in front of him, bowed humbly and said: "I am honored by the sage to never give up, how dare I not be loyal to the king's career, dare to follow the ambitions of the sages of the past generations, and never fail to live up to the king's love. "

Zhu Biao patted him on the shoulder and said to the officials behind him: "You should also work together with the prime minister to make our Ming prosperous."

"The ministers and others are ordered to join the prosperous world together!"

Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Hu Weiyong again, smiled meaningfully, then turned around and walked towards the apse, civil and military officials bowed to see him off, and then all surrounded Hu Weiyong.

There were very few officials who stayed where they were, or turned around and retreated. With the endorsement of His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince, Hu Xiang really stood up, and the civil and military officials naturally became more enthusiastic.

Chen Youzong, the Minister of General Affairs, and Yan Donglai, Minister of Dali Temple, stood with their hands behind their backs, looking at the lively crowd, each of them was full of thoughts, but they didn't dare to think about it.

The people who left directly were the officials of the Metropolitan Government headed by Ying Guogong. They would not get involved in any affairs of the court, nor would they get close to any civil servants, even if his power was in the hands of the government.

Nanxiong Marquis, Zhao Yong, Gongchang Marquis, Guo Xing, Dongping Marquis, Han Zheng and the others were a little hesitant. If Zhu Biao hadn't made a statement, they would have left happily, and no bird would care about Hu Weiyong. Anyway, no matter how much he managed not over their heads.

But His Royal Highness made it clear, so they have to cooperate, otherwise it is not their own face but His Highness's that they lose face, so they are a little embarrassed. After all, they just finished scolding him just now, and they have to go up at this time, which is really embarrassing. .

At this time, Zhu Biao had already caught up with old Comrade Zhu, or should be said to have caught up with his father who was waiting for him. After the father and son met, the surrounding court ladies and eunuchs consciously retreated to the distance.

Lao Zhu is wearing a crimson gown with a collar and narrow sleeves today. There are dragon patterns on the chest and left and right shoulders, mainly made of gold, and the jade belt around the waist is made of gold, jade, amber and rhinoceros as the main material.

This majestic robe looks very suitable for Zhu Yuanzhang. The aura of the founding emperor makes no matter how luxurious the robe is, it becomes a showpiece.

Zhu Biao was half a step behind and followed beside his father, and told what he had just said in the previous court. After hearing this, Lao Zhu breathed out and said: "It's too much, it's easy to sink your roots like this." Go in a batch."

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Father's imperial court has arrogant soldiers, powerful generals and corrupt officials. There are also many ministers under the command of the East Palace. Since there is a suitable opportunity, let's solve it together. I am afraid that the ministers should also deal with it in the end." It’s not easy to start.”

Although Zhu Biao deliberately controlled the number of direct descendants of the Eastern Palace, it was inevitable that some bad people would get involved. Although he was not a heinous person, relying on his power, he still oppressed the good.

Just like Zhao Yong, Marquis of Nanxiong, this guy is really loyal if he says he is loyal to Zhu Biao, and he will go through fire and water without hesitation, but you would be wrong if you want to say that he is a good man. Bullying others, these are all done.

That is to say, in recent years, they have been somewhat restrained, they have learned some sense of propriety, and they have not forced anyone to death. The censors at Yushitai did not impeach for the prince's sake.

As far as Zhu Biao knows, there are not a few generals and nobles under his command like Zhao Yong, not to mention Lu Zhongheng, Marquis of Ji'an and Tang Shengzong, Marquis of Yan'an, who have already been dismissed.

These two were not only the founders of the country, but also went to the Northern Expedition with Zhu Biao. They were confidantes, and because of this, the two became rampant day by day.

If it's really a matter of guilt, then the two of them can't get away just by dismissing the duke. Zhu Yuanzhang still deliberately keeps the two of them. It is also to give Zhu Biao a chance to re-canonize to appease his subjects.

However, Zhu Biao is not ready to accept the two of them again at this time, including Pingliang Hou Feiju and others. Zhu Biao is not short of their mouse shit, and he is going to pack them up and send them to Hu Weiyong. Ended up anticlimactic.

What he regrets the most is undoubtedly Fei Ju. He actually didn't take the matter of the commander of the Pingliang Prefecture Guards to heart. People have different opinions. If Shangguan was involved in any case, it would be a mess.

If Fei Ju honestly asks him to plead guilty, then naturally nothing will happen. Not only will Zhu Biao not blame him, but he will also comfort him, so that the subordinates will know that if your people do something wrong and commit a serious crime, don’t Because I was worried about implicating myself, I helped him hide everything, and I could honestly explain everything to him.

It's a pity that after Zhu Biao returned to Beijing and waited for a few days, Fei Ju still didn't enter the palace to seek an audience, and he didn't even let his wife enter the East Palace to meet Chang Luohua.
