First Prince of Ming Dynasty

His father's childhood experience shaped his self-confidence and courage, and also created a lot of inferiority and suspicion. As his status rose, he eventually became multi-faceted and contradictory.

Zhu Biao stopped suddenly while walking on the road, and looked back at the palace with many buildings and tents, as if looking back at later generations, he saw the Hongwu Emperor who completely released himself after his wife died.

Heart disease still needs heart medicine, what Zhu Biao can do is to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang with actions, let him know that Zhu Biao will keep the foundation he has built through hard work.

All the way back to the East Palace, Zhu Biao began to make plans for emigration. Yun Jin had already returned, and she was now the fifth-rank Shang Gong of the Shang Palace Bureau, almost the pinnacle of female officials. It can be seen how much Empress Ma liked Yun Jin.

Zhu Biao counted the days, and there were about ten more days before the imperial examination, and then the wedding, before he could go to Shanxi.

The first was the imperial examination. Although he was not in charge, it was the first imperial examination in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. As the crown prince, he had to go and see it himself.

And although these scholars have never heard of any famous courtiers, it is not too bad to think about it. As long as they don't die in ten years, they should be able to sit in the official position of the fifth or sixth rank.

Of course, the most important reason is the faction of the imperial examination candidates. For the examiners or supervisors, these people may serve as political envoys and governors in various provinces across the country in twenty years, and may even serve as ministers of the six ministries of the central government. Shangshu. How rich this resource is, fools don't try to win over them, and in order to avoid suspicion, many high-ranking officials often instruct their students to submit a memorial when it is not convenient to speak out.

For these new scholars, although they have been admitted to Jinshi, they can be regarded as a carp jumping through the dragon's gate, but someone has to cover them! After all, there is still a long way to go after this, and it is necessary to find a big backer.

Those who can stay in the center are fine, but what if they are assigned to other places? Therefore, whether you are an excellent candidate selected into the Imperial Academy or the Sixth Department, or an ordinary candidate assigned to a local area, before taking office, it is right to go to a senior leader to pay a visit to the pier.

But the emperor is very taboo about these things. As the biggest polished commander, the emperor is very afraid that the officials under him will form a clique for personal gain, and it will be bad if he is excluded. Therefore, everyone used the guise of teachers and students to hook up in a reasonable and reasonable way.

In fact, many so-called teacher-student relationships are fake at all. Most of them are when you take the exam, I am the chief examiner, or the teacher who grades the papers. Even if the two are bound together.

Coupled with the influence of the so-called Confucian thought of respecting teachers and valuing education for thousands of years, since there are interests and emotional foundations, the teacher-student relationship in the officialdom is generally relatively strong, just like Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.

There is no way for Zhu Biao to end in person. The current situation is that the Huaixi Party must be suppressed, so it is impossible for Li Shanchang to absorb these fresh blood into the Huaixi Party.

But Li Shanchang is the only one who has the qualifications and prestige to preside over the first imperial examination in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao is done, and after the results are out, invite those new subjects to the East Palace for a meal, and if they have the opportunity to meet the prince, the ghost will take refuge in some chief examiner.

Li Shanchang is a smart person, not to mention how old he is, and when some new Jinshi become fifth-rank officials, he may have been lying in the soil for several years. So he will also refuse the visits of those new scholars, so everyone will be happy.

Zhu Biao was going to visit Li Shanchang and his teacher Song Lian tomorrow. After Zhu Biao made up his mind, he went to sleep with Nuanyu in his arms.

The next day, Zhu Biao got up early in the morning and took Yunjin to Kunning Palace. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers were still in the morning court. They had to go to court from early morning to noon. Officials above the fourth rank could talk directly to the emperor, and other officials It is necessary to submit the memorial through the eunuch, and the ministers will go home to handle business after the morning meeting.

At noon, the emperor began to have dinner. At this time, the emperor had to choose which concubine would serve the bed in the evening. After a short rest, he would start to review the memorials handed in by the courtiers in the early court. This was Zhu Biao's daily work.

There are usually a lot of memorials. The emperor has to make corrections all afternoon, and has a small meeting with first-rank officials in the middle to discuss urgent or critical government affairs. He has a second meal in the afternoon, and then continues to deal with government affairs after eating. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, at night It is not uncommon to review until early in the morning.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt sorry for his son's growing body, and usually drove him back to the East Palace to sleep as soon as it got dark. In fact, Zhu Biao also felt sorry for his father. He also mentioned the establishment of a cabinet once, but now the prime minister is still there, and Zhu Yuanzhang is not at ease. Let others intervene, and in the end the matter will not be understood.

Zhu Biao grinned thinking about his father's workload in a day, how can this be done by humans.

When they arrived at Kunning Palace, after Zhu Biao saluted his mother, he stepped forward and hugged Zhu Lu: Lu'er, have you been good these two days?

Zhu Lu nodded with her cute braids: Good \\(^o^)/

The siblings chatted for a while, and Zhu Lu's little classmate was not happy, why is it not over yet, the princess wants to go down to the ground to play!

Zhu Biao had no choice but to put her down, and watched her staggeringly run towards the outside, and a group of maids guarded her instantly.

Zhu Biao sat down with a smile, and Empress Ma looked at her son and said, Biao'er, you must do your best to relocate people.

Zhu Biao looked at his mother and replied: My son, don't you worry about doing things? Since I took the initiative to take over this matter, I intend to do my best.

Empress Ma shook her head and said, Mother, I'm just afraid that you are acting on a whim. The migrants are already suffering. You should be more considerate. Even if there are people who are dissatisfied and rebellious, you should first send someone to persuade them, but don't directly Suppress by killing.

Zhu Biao nodded and said in relief: Don't worry, you are not going to fight on the battlefield. Those people are also the people of my Daming. Unless it is really a last resort, I will definitely not kill a person indiscriminately.

After hearing this, Empress Ma felt much relieved: I also talked about it with your father last night. There are many cattle and sheep that you brought from the grassland outside the capital. This time, bring some more and distribute them to the immigrants. They saw the livestock You can feel more at ease in your heart.”

Zhu Biao patted his mother's hand and said: As expected of the empress, she really is the mother of the world, she doesn't even ask about her son's marriage, she only thinks about your people.

Empress Ma glared at her son and scolded with a smile: Stinky boy, you are talking about serious business, and you are still playing tricks here. There is room for your mother to interfere in your marriage. Your father has already discussed it with the Minister of Rites dozens of times.
