First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said, That's fine, then let Shuixi and Shuidong take the lead. We also thought that Mingxia was too weak and surrendered too quickly. We didn't let some people in the southwest see our Ming Dynasty clearly. strength.

It's up to my father to write a letter to Tang Shuai. After the army is stationed, we must pinch the main routes of entry and exit, and we must be careful not to cut off the supply routes.

Don't worry about Tanghe, he's holding back all his strength. Last time his achievements were taken away by Fu Youde. If he makes a mistake this time, he really has no chance. This old boy is no worse than anyone else when he is serious. of.

Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. Tang He made a big joke last time. Fu Youde had led his army from Qin and Long to capture Hanzhong. Liao Yongzhong had conquered Qutang Pass before him and entered Kuizhou. He then led his army to follow, entered Chongqing, and surrendered Mingsheng.

You must know that there is no need to be so solemn in fighting a Mingxia. Everyone knows that this is the holy majesty paving the way for Tang Shuai in consideration of old feelings. OK.

But no one thought that this demeanor would be taken away by others. Fu Youde and Liao Yongzhong were promoted to rank, and Tang He, the former founding king, was still white. It was a bit embarrassing to not even have a marquis in the army. .

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: Tang He was kind to us back then. It was he who sent a letter asking us to join the rebel army after becoming a thousand households. As a thousand households, he didn't show off with us. He still called us big brother. The love is recognized, and it was a last resort to use him to gain prestige back then, and this at least a duke of the country must be returned to him.

Zhu Biao nodded and said: I also remember, the Tang family will not be treated badly if they have meritorious service, and maybe there will be a pair of honors.

Old Zhu asked with great interest: It seems that Tang Ding has done a good job overseas, but it's better not to cook with fire. Too much favor is a misfortune rather than a blessing. We still want to let these old brothers We can get rich together.

Speaking of the latter, Lao Zhu's words were a little dull, sharing adversity is easy to share wealth and difficulty, some things are difficult to guarantee even if he is the emperor, it is not that he wants to kill but has to kill, no matter how old the friendship is, it is not as great as this country. .

A general can be destroyed, but a country cannot be destroyed!

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand and squeezed the space between his eyebrows. It is not a good thing to cook a good bird, hide a cunning rabbit, and kill a good dog. If possible, Zhu Biao still hopes to keep a considerable part of the nobles. At least he should not kill them directly. good point.

But even if Zhu Biao didn't deliberately intervene, he would definitely not be as tragic and decisive as in his previous life. If he didn't die early, Lao Zhu naturally didn't have to worry about clearing the obstacles for his grandson, because Zhu Biao's ability and prestige were enough to take over the power peacefully and smoothly. There is no need to worry about not being able to suppress those arrogant soldiers.

There are a lot of nobles who have done evil, but at least they have some qualifications. It is better than those squires, bullies, corrupt officials. If the crime is not tolerable, Zhu Biao thinks that he can still give some privileges. It is too naive to emphasize that everyone is equal before the law in this era. It is enough to shout the slogan that the prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. If you really do that, it won't last long.

In fact, any era is similar, the emperor has never disappeared, just changed a few clothes, changed a few names, and he is still aloof.

Who is that, is the banquet in the Hall of Martial Heroes over?

Liu Jin, who had just walked in from the outside, knelt down neatly on the ground: Go back to the emperor, Hu Xiangyan has not dealt with official affairs today, colleagues, don't be greedy and slack off government affairs, and then lead the officials of the Ministry of Education to leave first. Back off after the first time, this time should be clean.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said, Did you see that someone didn't honor the banquet we gave, and it was still our prime minister.

Zhu Biao asked casually: Hu Xiang is in a hurry. After all, Chang Shuai is coming back soon. By the way, who in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion followed Hu Xiang to leave the table first?

Liu Jin carefully recalled a few names and said a few names. The father and son above didn't seem to care too much. It can be seen that they are insignificant, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Biao waved Liu Jin to get up: Say a few words with Xu Shuai before the court starts, will my father entertain Xu Shuai tonight?

Well, your mother talked to us last night, saying that Xu Da came back to Beijing after traveling for so long, no matter what, you should send your brother to meet him, even if you are not sent, the fourth brother should go out of the city to meet him.

It's useless to go to the fourth child. Xu Shuai will probably be more taboo instead. In fact, it's better to pass on so plainly. Xu Shuai has already seen through it. If it wasn't for the constant parting, he would have retired and returned to his hometown long ago.

Needless to say about Xu Da's status, the real No. 1 person in the Ming military, even Chang Yuchuntang and Feng Sheng, have to avoid three points, both in the court and in the hearts of soldiers and generals. Prestige is naturally excellent when leading troops to fight, but it is a heavy burden after the founding of the country.

If the children and grandchildren are all mediocre talents, it will be fine. After my prestige and power are all dissipated after my death, the children and grandchildren are counting on Yu Yin to be rich and prominent, but the eldest son is extremely outstanding, and there is a faint tendency to replace the father with the death of the son. The hidden danger of family ruin.

There are countless generals under Xu Da's command, and now they are all scattered in the guards of various armies. This kind of incense will naturally dissipate, after all, the world is peaceful, and there are not so many people who miss the past.

But if his son takes over his position and power, then this group of people, including the children of this group of people, will swarm up and form an alliance of interests naturally. Do not hug?

Xu Da is not a fool who is greedy for profit. He is very clear about the gap between his ability and the saint, and also knows the gap between his son and the crown prince.

So since the founding of the country, the first hero of the founding of the country has been silent. For many years, he has never taken the initiative to invite wars to go out to lead the army. Take a step forward.

Although there is no absolute thing in this world, Zhu Biao actually trusts the Xu family in his heart, so he has been devoting himself to cultivating Xu Yungong, but the more this is the case, the more cautious the Xu family seems to be, which is a bit too duty-bound.

It's hard for him. Invite him into the palace for a drink tonight. You will go to Zhongshan Prince's Mansion to invite someone in person. Say it's a family banquet and ask him to bring his wife and children over.

Zhu Biao agreed, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to inform the queen that the family banquet must be well prepared, not to mention that he ordered Xu Da to bring his wife and children, so there must be a side table.

What should be said has been said, the father and father lowered their heads and concentrated on reviewing the memorial. The world is peaceful, but there are actually more trivial matters. Local officials, big and small, have to report the situation when they have a little work.

This naturally represents the continuous strengthening of the centralization of power, and the imperial court's control over the localities is also increasing, but the problem also arises. Even if the two of them forget to eat and sleep, they can't review so many government affairs. This is because Hu Weiyong and Zhongshu Sheng Help share some of it.

Zhu Biao didn't even dare to think about the future, he could only hope that his father would recognize the reality and use the established bachelors instead of setting them aside as empty titles.

After dealing with a trivial matter of the Ministry of Households, Zhu Biao saw the thick memorial below, sighed and opened it, and it was indeed a memorial from the Ministry of Rites, which was about changing the system of crowns and uniforms for officials and wives. Zhu Biao ordered it to go down during the last ceremony.

The dress of a first-class married woman is made of mountain pine, five emerald pines in a special bun, eight Jinzhai beads, one emerald emerald bead on the front, four emerald flower beads, three emerald cloud flowers, one shuttle ball on the back temple, one emerald flying bead, and four emerald combs. Even three hairpins, one beaded curtain and one golden bamboo...

Enduring a headache and reading it, it was already after drinking two cups of tea. He corrected a few things he thought were inappropriate, and ordered Liu Jin to send it back to the Ministry of Rites for them to revise immediately before sending it up. Everyone tortured each other.

The Liaodong command envoy reported the difficulties, saying that Liaodong was cold and the soldiers were hard and their hands and feet were torn apart. Zhu Biao could only reply and ordered the Ministry of Households to raise 30,000 cotton-padded clothes and shoes to supply. .
