Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

After thinking about it, Zhu Biao suddenly said to Zhu Tao.

"If you have nothing to do now, come with me to meet this Yao Guangxiao, and I can talk to you on the way to let you get acquainted with government affairs."

Zhu Tao glanced at Zhu Biao, rolled his eyes, then stretched again, and then said.

"Brother, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go back to sleep first, and I won't see you off. You and Old Tang go get the medicine first, and then go back by yourself."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the room by himself, leaving Zhu Biao in a daze.

Old Tang quickly came over and said to Zhu Biao.

"Master Taiping, go get the medicine with me, your body should take care of itself."

Five days later, at a big court meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair with a red face and looked at the ministers below.

"My dear friends, if you have anything to do now, hurry up and come out to play. If you have nothing to do, just leave the court and go back."

In many daily government affairs now, apart from the normal operation of the six ministries and nine ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't have much to worry about, even if the prince can make a decision at the moment to share his worries.

At this time, Li Shanchang came out of the class to report.

"Li Qi, the acting defense envoy of Haiphong Yamen, sent a memorial with a Wanmin Umbrella attached, saying that the imperial court sent troops to Dongying to eradicate the Japanese pirates. Since then, there will be no more Japanese pirates in the coast. Therefore, I sent the Wanmin Umbrella and the Wanyan Letter to thank Your Majesty for his kindness. !"

Li Qi, the deputy defense envoy of the Haiphong Yamen, is actually Li Shanchang's eldest son. At this time, he sent his son to this position, obviously condescending, but in fact he was going to gain experience and gild himself.

After hearing this report, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, glanced at the ministers, and said.

"Pass down our decree, order the coastal areas to reduce taxes for three years, promote Li Qi, the deputy defense envoy of the Haiphong Yamen, to the third rank, officially appoint him as a defense envoy, and reward him with a salary for one year."

The annual salary of a third-rank military officer is less than 100 taels of silver. This amount of money is basically equal to the expenses of Li Shanchang's residence for less than two days.

However, this also shows the success of his devious strategy. Li Qi has already received Zhu Yuanzhang's attention from a certain aspect, so there is naturally no problem in becoming an official in the future.

At this time, Liu Bowen suddenly came out of class to play.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the people along the coast are not willing to reduce or exempt taxes from the court. They even want to raise money to go to Japan's Daming Fleet. They want the court to wipe out Japan in one fell swoop and capture all those Japanese pirates as slaves. They have already stated in Wan Yanshu It shows that they are willing to buy a large amount of national debt support from the imperial court, so that the imperial court can sail far away to colonize."

Liu Bowen's report made Zhu Yuanzhang even more happy, showing that his policy of going out to sea was correct, and he was still very popular with the people along the coast.

Thinking of this, he said immediately.

"Since this is the case, this matter is what the people want. We must carry it forward and completely wipe out and conquer the Japanese pirates. By the way, we just appointed Tao'er as the Lord Protector, let him learn to walk in the cabinet temporarily, and the three of you Discuss with the cabinet ministers what to do next."

When Zhu Tao was mentioned, Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously glanced at the court, and suddenly found that this unlucky son did not come to the morning court.

"Why doesn't Zhu Tao come to the morning court, Mr. Li, you are the chief assistant now, so you can inform him and let him start to participate in the morning court tomorrow without delay."

After Li Shanchang heard this, he seemed to have something to hide, and said embarrassingly.

"Your Majesty, I have already informed you, but Zhu Tao said..."

With such a heavy effort, Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that this Tao'er must have said nothing good.

"Just say what you have, don't need to hide it, our son knows it himself."

Li Shanchang sighed slightly, and then said.

"He said that the morning meeting time is too early, and he can't get up at all. If you can set the time for the morning meeting after lunch, you can still think about it."

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present were basically stunned on the spot, completely stupefied.

Since ancient times, there have been many people who are unwilling to go to court. These people have various reasons, such as some claiming to be sick, and some simply retiring from old age and returning home.

As for those who were unwilling to participate in the early court because they couldn't get up, Zhu Tao was the only one, setting a precedent for Ming Dynasty.

This time, the beard that made Zhu Yuanzhang angry trembled a little.

"This stinky boy, why is he so lazy after being married? He has to be cured. His stinky disease is not good. He must be allowed to go to court. He only knows how to eat and sleep all day long."

Li Shanchang reluctantly agreed and said.

"After the court is gone, I will go to Zhujiazhuang to convey His Majesty's imperial decree, so that the Young Master's family will come to the morning court tomorrow."

Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed, he was more helpless than Li Shanchang, and said directly.

"It's useless for you to go. This kid won't listen to you. We have a way. We can definitely cure him."

All the ministers above the court thought that it would be no problem for Lao Tzu to rule his son.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the leader of the courtiers, the King of Jin, Zhu Yan, and asked.

"Zhu Yan, have you been working with Zhu Tao recently to learn things from him?"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Wei was a little puzzled. Does it have anything to do with Zhu Tao not getting up?

But since Dad asked this question, he still has to answer.

"Returning to my father, my son did learn to forge iron from Brother Tao. This is to forge excellent weapons and use them to kill the enemy on the front line."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the purpose of blacksmithing at all, but he directly issued an order to Zhu Yan.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will be in charge of waking Zhu Tao up, and then bring him over to the morning court. If he doesn't get up, we will break your legs directly."

As soon as these words were uttered, Zhu Yan would be completely screwed up. After all, he was his own father, so how could he have such a bad idea?

Zhu Tao doesn't get up, you are going to beat him up, why are you hitting me, am I so annoying, or is it annoying you again.

But in the face of the majestic father, Zhu Yan didn't even have the courage to ask back, so he could only bear the blame and replied.

"My son will definitely urge younger brother Tao to get rid of the problem of staying in bed, and come to the morning court as scheduled. Please rest assured, father."

Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded and said something.

"Okay, then you should hurry up and leave the court now. I will meet Zhu Tao at the court hall tomorrow morning. Otherwise, we won't take back what we said."

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and left. No matter whether it was the King of Jin, Zhu Wei, or the six ministries and nine ministers, and other officials, they didn't understand what was going on.

When Zhu Tao went to court, he needed a prince to scream, and if he couldn't scream, his leg would be broken, which was too incredible.
