First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Under the management of Duerbert's department, the Wala tribe, which had been completely disabled, re-divided the pastures and pastures, and strictly prohibited them from migrating or accumulating without reason.

Li Wenzhong stayed here to implement the policy discussed by the imperial court, and he wanted to move some Oala youths to Liaodong, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, and moved to the inland Mongolians. Mongolians are not allowed to speak Mongolian, wear Mongolian clothes, and are not allowed to marry each other. Use Chinese surnames, enforce the assimilation policy...

However, Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, led his troops straight to the residences of several major Tatar tribes, but the few tribes that had been frightened for a long time abandoned most of their livestock and fled, making it difficult to pursue.

This was also expected. Fortunately, almost all the objectives of this battle were successfully implemented, and there were many small tribes who surrendered because of their power. Fu Youde divided the pastures of the Tatar kings among them.

It was also announced that the herdsmen who found it difficult to survive on the grasslands could be naturalized into the Central Plains, and the imperial court would grant them land to cultivate and reproduce, and allowed them to form caravans and even go to school to become officials.

The Central Plains is now vast and sparsely populated. As long as they can come to farm and settle down, Zhu Biao is very willing to accept them. Compared with foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes or black like ghosts, the Tu people in the Ming Dynasty or the surrounding areas can all integrate into it. Absorbed in their own people.

"Indifference can nourish the heart, frugality can cultivate virtue, indulgence can lead to extravagance and change one's nature, strange skills, prostitution, wandering, hunting and hunting are all tools that destroy the heart and morality. Therefore, the mediocre master perishes in high platforms and deep pools, and the holy master in humble palaces and shabby rooms is happy. .”

"Diligence and thrift are the foundation of self-government, and extravagance is the source of family mourning. Generally speaking, those who occupy high positions are prone to pride, and those who live in leisure and pleasure are prone to extravagance. Pride means that good words are not intrusive but do not listen to them. Extravagance means that good deeds are not established and deeds are ignored. There is immortality."

"The great kings who started the dynasty all practiced frugality and accomplished great things. The stupid masters are arrogant and extravagant, and eat their meat on dogs and hogs, causing resentment and anger at the failure of the gods and men. You should live within your means and spend recklessly. , It is better to have more than enough, not to have enough, and not to disobey the emperor's benevolent instructions!"

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he asked his younger brothers to recite it a few times aloud, and ordered to copy it ten times immediately, and then got up and stepped out of the palace. The princes were getting older, and Lao Zhu always worried that the professors would hinder their status Noble, but too preferential treatment, to develop the habit of arrogance and laziness.

So he ordered the prince to come over every two days to teach them the truth in person, and also to check the homework and give rewards and punishments.

Zhu Biao just thought it was quite interesting. It was only a matter of an hour or two, and the overseas lands would eventually be divided into clans. , You can also choose to cultivate several adult organs.

The place where the princes had their classes was not far from the Wuying Hall. Zhu Biao rushed over after morning court. At this time, he was quite hungry, so he had lunch in the Wuying Hall.

Pepper vinegar fresh shrimp shredded goose powder soup and a bowl of rice, there is almost nothing left, Liu Jin brought another bowl of rice soup, made of glutinous rice, old rice, millet and other kinds of rice, boiled in a pot to get the essence, the imperial physician said yes Drinking less after a meal can eliminate food, invigorate the spleen, nourish the body and nourish the mind.

"Master, the commander is waiting outside the hall to be summoned."

"Finally back, let's call in."

Not long after, Liu Jin led Quan Xu in, and after saluting, Zhu Biaoci sat down and said with a smile: "Impeachment memorials are almost unstoppable these days, and embroidered clothes have to follow the rules in the future. Insolent."

The embroidered clothes did their best to rectify the local merchants and nobles, and collected far more than expected commercial taxes and food taxes. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the imperial court to prepare for the mobilization of troops in northern Xinjiang and southwest while providing disaster relief. .

But correspondingly, with such a harvest, the price is naturally not small, and it is no longer a pot that Zhao Yan, the nominal commander of embroidered clothes, can carry.

Therefore, two months ago, Zhu Biao had already sent Zhao Yan to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and promoted Quan Xu to be the commander of embroidered clothes.

There is a price to be paid for breaking the law, especially this time, it hurts the interests of the three classes of scholars, businessmen and businessmen. It is the style of robbers, not the court's, to pry open the gap by coercive means.

Injustice and injustice make it difficult to conquer the world and maintain the law. Therefore, even Zhu Biao does not intend to suppress the dissatisfaction of the government and the opposition with prestige and power, but prepares to help them vent it.

"It is the fault of ineffective restraint at the end."

Zhu Biao waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say these things: "Standing and exile is inevitable, and the Ministry of Punishment will take you to the third trial in a while, but fortunately, there will be no Jin Yiwei in the past two years, so you just go to restrain Huang Yuanshou for this palace. "

"promise!"

Looking at Quan Xu, whose expression hadn't changed in the slightest, Zhu Biao also felt a little distressed: "You haven't enjoyed the glory and wealth in these years, but you have suffered the most grievances."

Quan Xu smiled casually and didn't say anything, but retreated after bowing and saluting. When he entered the palace just now, he saw people from the Ministry of Punishment waiting for him, but because of His Highness's face, let him go smoothly. See you in the palace.

………

"Master, do you feel indebted because of Quan Xu's matter?"

After the couple settled down at night, Zhu Biao casually talked about today's events: "When the palace was still the son of King Wu, Quanxu worked hard with allegiance. It has been nine years since the founding of the country, and he still has no official, nobility, no home, no job. .”

Chang Luohua comforted and said: "I am concerned about you. The matter of being an official is only a matter of time, but getting married comes first. There are no seniors in the generals, and no one handles the marriage. Most likely, His Highness will be entrusted to marry him."

Zhu Biao squinted his eyes slightly, and the first thing he thought of was whether the Crown Princess wanted to betroth his concubine sister to Quan Xu when she mentioned the matter of marriage.

The Chang family also has two concubine daughters, one has been betrothed to Mingsheng, Hou Mingsheng, a political affairs officer in Pingzhang, Sichuan, and the other is waiting to be married, and has reached the age of marriage.

If this was her idea, it would definitely not work. The Chang family's power has already passed. If he hadn't had great confidence in him, he would have taken action to suppress it long ago.

But even if we don't suppress it, we can't encourage it anymore. It is not a good sign that flowers are cooking oil in the fire, and it is the same with the country and the family.

Without waiting for Zhu Biao to say anything, Chang Luohua said to himself: "It's a pity that there is only one concubine in my concubine's family. It's not appropriate. I don't know if His Highness has any suitable family."

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with it, but even if you want to give a marriage, you have to wait for the matter to be settled. Let alone two or three years. If it is not agreeable to ask my sister-in-law to wait for a few years, it is your fault and mine." gone."

"My lord is very considerate. It's just that the prostitute of Chaozhong Wuxun's family got married early, and I really can't think of a suitable concubine for a while."

Zhu Biaosi thought: "It's okay to be a lady in a civil servant's family, my sister..."

At this point, the couple understood each other, and Chang Luohua followed the words: "Lin'an's wedding is only two months away, why hasn't His Highness called the son-in-law back to Beijing? I heard that the Grand Master has already brought his family Xiao Qicheng has come to Beijing."

"There's no need to be so anxious. He came here just as a wooden stake, but the Princess Mansion in Lin'an is well-furnished."

"Comprehensive, Lin'an is the eldest princess. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rituals have done their best. The father, the queen, and the queen have questioned her several times. How can anyone dare to be negligent and slack."

Zhu Biao still has deep feelings for this eldest sister. Among the princesses, she is the only one besides his own sister, so he ordered: "I am afraid that Lin'an is also very uneasy. Tomorrow, you will take her to the princess mansion. Go shopping and comfort her more."

"The concubine knows."

The two relaxed and snuggled together, talking about the recent interesting stories of their two sons, because Zhu Biao ordered that the maids and eunuchs are not allowed to take too much care, so the two boys who are tireless have already run all over the palace. Yes, the dog holes are drilling hard.

In terms of familiarity with the palace, I am afraid that no one can surpass these two brothers. Zhu Biao has not been to the harem a few times because of taboo, let alone the bedroom of the concubines.

Relying on the emperor's favor, there is no place that these two dare not go to. Except for the well mouth by the pond and the river, they can't go to play alone, and they have to be accompanied by palace people. The rest of the places can go wherever there is excitement, and they are especially happy to watch the concubines quarreling with each other. .
