It's just that no one expected that the cutscene that was originally thought would have evolved to such an extent. Two third-rank officials were relegated to Shuzhou, not to mention other officials. There are more than one hundred households in Liaodong.

Naturally, this also caused shocks in the government and the public, and the complaints against the Crown Prince appeared, but in the end it was still much better than when the Holy Majesty raised the sword, and no one wanted to try whether His Highness the Crown Prince could be more ruthless at such a time.

Song Lian and other officials of the East Palace also hurriedly spoke out in the court and the public, and the officials who were not involved in the case couldn't stand such a heavy government affairs. With the cooperation of the two, the matter was overturned as soon as possible.

After all, most of the officials who were released from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment were not demoted to the local government. Zhu Biao ordered them to return to their posts to perform crimes and meritorious deeds. In this way, the Beijing officials will be filled again, and some officials will be promoted from the local government to fill the vacancies. That's it.

It happened that those demoted Beijing officials also needed space to make room. As for the rest of the imperial convicts escorted from the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Biao granted an amnesty, but all talented and learned people must obey the dispatch of the Ministry of Officials to serve the country.

The Ministry of Officials will organize assessments, and those with outstanding talents will be promoted to officials of the eighth and ninth ranks, those with outstanding talents will be admitted to the Imperial College as teaching assistants, and those with mediocre talents will be admitted to the Imperial College to study.

Zhu Biao used both hard and soft, and he was naturally extremely resentful to the officials and gentry who were sentenced to heavy punishment and exiled, as well as their relatives and friends, but it was a great benevolence to those officials or scholars who were in danger. My own advantages and disadvantages, the life and death of others have nothing to do with me.

"Hey, His Highness shouldn't come forward with this matter. Even if you want to show the power of the court's thunder, you should let the Holy One order Hu Xiang to announce it, and His Highness will intercede from it. So many people rely on His Highness's kindness."

Zhu Biao personally took the tea from Liu Jin and brought it to the old master: "A gentleman should straighten his clothes, show off his majesty, and look after him. If the disciple is finally trapped by this false name, wouldn't it be wrong?"

Song Lian took a sip of the tea and said, "It's not that His Highness is trapped in a false name, but it should be used for more important things. Fortunately, there is a little resentment from the government and the public, but there are still more people who have to rely on His Highness to survive. Shi Shu, it's always a good deed."

In the early years, Zhu Biao paid more attention to fame. After all, he didn’t have much to do at that time, and he didn’t have much power and confidantes under his command. The cost of cultivating talent was low and the return was high. Naturally, why not do it, there are some inherent impressions Once set, it is not so easy to be changed.

Zhu Biao's journey has been so smooth, most of the credit is naturally attributed to his father's support, and the rest is brought about by his talent and reputation.

It is difficult for a prince who is stupid, tyrannical and unable to convince the public to ascend to the dragon chair even if he is favored by the emperor. Compromise is always inseparable from politics.

Just like the Jiangnan case this time, it was because it was the founding year of Emperor Taizu. Otherwise, which emperor would dare to do so, forcing local rebellions to continue, and imprisoning a large number of central officials.

If it was someone else, I'm afraid they would have had no choice but to commit their crimes and voted for their sons to admit defeat, or they would have been taken away by the collateral royal family with the acquiescence of the bureaucratic gentry group.

Don't think that all emperors are stalwart emperors who have the constitution of heaven in their mouths and can decide the world's affairs with one word. In fact, it is normal to rule the world together with literati and bureaucrats.

And even if it is the founding king, the authority in his hands will continue to decrease. The emperor is still a human being, not a god, and aging and illness will damage his prestige. Also jumped out.

If Zhu Biao is really a person with no talent and no virtue, let alone whether Lao Zhu will change his mind to establish a heir and become a son, even if he is determined to pass on to him, sooner or later there will be disasters.

Just like in history, if Zhu Yunwen was a man of brilliant talent and a master, why did Lao Zhu set off a big prison in his later years to kill Lan Yu and other martial arts? Resist the power of the world?

Zhu Biaochu proved himself by what he raised and hoped for, from his father to the emperor to Wuxun generals to bureaucrats and gentry to the people of Li.

In fact, it has been proved to be effective. What my father is most proud of is that he has cultivated such an outstanding son. Over the years, how many military generals and civil officials such as Chen Youzong and Yan Donglai have gathered to him, and how many people have passed through various aspects. The relationship network is eager to serve Zhu Biaobiao as soon as possible.

At this point, Zhu Biao doesn’t need to deliberately maintain his reputation anymore. Those who have served under his sect will naturally defend him with all their might. No one will be allowed to slander him. Anyone who slanders Zhu Biao is no different from them life and death enmity.

In other words, Zhu Biao's basic situation has been stabilized, and it doesn't matter what he is at this time. It is not that the Jiangnan case did not involve Chen Youzong's family, and several offshoots of the Chen family were escorted to Beijing, but Chen Youzong never Begged for mercy.

After Zhu Biao took his seat, he said, "I don't need to take care of the teacher at Shilin Fengping, let the brothers and sisters go, but the Imperial College needs you to be the master."

Song Lian nodded silently. Given his status in the scholarly literary world, it was really not easy to argue with a group of juniors. Once Gao Qi and others died, only he and Liu Bowen were left as the leading figures in the literary world.

"When the teacher came back, I originally planned to let you be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, but now that the imperial examination is temporarily suspended, the Imperial College continues to expand, and now it is going to send all the scholars and scholars from Jiangnan to it. Without you, we can't do it."

Song Lian got up and saluted: "The old minister respectfully obeys His Royal Highness's order."

Zhu Biao got up to help, and Liu Jin hurriedly went to Song Lian to sit down. Since Shengjia left Beijing for so long, the prime minister, the six ministers, and the Marquis of Wu Xun were often called to Jinshen Hall, but until now, only this old master has Sit down decently and drink tea.

After the master and apprentice sat down, Zhu Biao rubbed the jade pendant in his hands and said: "The Guozijian Jijiu is from the fourth-rank position, but I feel a little wronged by the teacher. After the teacher takes office, I will raise the sacrificial wine to the third-rank, so the virtues are suitable. .”

Song Lian waved his hand and said, "Don't do this. How can you figure out how high or low the official position is in the way of teaching and educating people to be sages?"

Zhu Biao smiled and didn't respond. In fact, the official position of the Imperial College was not all for the sake of the old master. Originally, the Imperial College was just a channel to become an official, and the mainstream was still on the imperial examination side.

At that time, Guozijian was not considered an important and prominent official position, but now that the imperial examinations are suspended, the conditions for being recommended by local officials or conscripted by the court are extremely harsh, and Guozijian has become the only one for the vast majority of people to become officials. path of.

The status of the Imperial College naturally has to rise with the tide. In the past few days, Zhu Biao has reviewed the memorials of many officials who want to be transferred to the Imperial College, especially those deputy officials who have no real power for the time being. It is very urgent.

In this era, the master has a very high reputation, and if he can go to the Imperial College to teach, then in the future, his disciples and grandchildren must be distributed as officials in various states and capitals in the world. Who would not want to have more trustworthy help in the future?

After wanting to talk for a long time, Zhu Biao got up to send the old master out of the palace. Since the officials in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment were released from prison to wait for their crimes, they were all very diligent. This also made Zhu Biao, Hu Weiyong, etc. who had worked hard for a long time People are much more relaxed.

Zhu Biao also deliberately transferred some of the government affairs in his hands to the Ministry of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, ordering that they can be dealt with first and then reported. A yamen worked together to deal with it quickly.

Zhu Biao ordered Liu Jin to grind, and began to write a letter to his father. Zhu Biao was really relieved that he had not sent a letter after leaving the palace for so long, which shows how happy he was to lead Empress Ma out of the palace.

I wrote some recent decisions and the military transfers in Jiangnan, Sichuan, Shu, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, and then stopped writing after greeting my father and queen mother's physical condition.

Lao Zhu didn't write a letter to ask, but the relationship with the military captain's mansion never stopped, and Chang Luohua would write to Queen Ma every now and then, so those two people must be very clear about the affairs inside and outside the palace, so it's a pity It is not necessary for him to write in detail, it is just meaning.
