First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Speaking of this, it would be inappropriate for Zhu Biao to refuse, and although it was a bit unexpected, it was still reasonable and not too much of a request.

Zhu Biao shook his sleeves slightly, Liu Jin hurried forward to grind the paper, everyone in the Wu clan was overjoyed, several elders were crying, they didn't achieve anything in this life, and when they died, they just left a name on the genealogy It's just a son, who can remember after a few generations?

But with today's actions, the crown prince and the prince have found a foundation for the family to rely on in order to beg for the family's death in front of the future emperor of Ming Dynasty. sacrifice.

Zhu Biao stood up and picked up the pen to smoke ink. After thinking for a moment, he wrote and read while writing: Ming En You Chong, Feng Hua Rong Xiang, respecting ancestors and ancestors, Jinping Li Zhang, benefiting the country and people, and aiming to be on the top list , honest and honest, the world is far and the family is prosperous.

Zhu Biao's characters are upright and respectful, horizontal and vertical, uniform in size, and neat, which is inconsistent with today's Confucian calligraphy masters, mainly for the convenience and efficiency of reviewing memorials.

Zhu Biao accepted the pen and asked Liu Jin to send this to Wu Congzhen: The sixth uncle brought this back, built a monument and erected a stone in the Wu clan, and the whole family vowed to restore the family tradition. I hope that you will be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, harmonious, and kind.

Caomin and others thank His Highness the Crown Prince for his instruction. After the Hui nationality, they set strict family rules and dare not insult the words of the Order of the World that His Highness bestowed.

Zhu Biao sat back on the seat again and said: It's not too early, and the sixth uncle should go back to rest. After a few days, the holy car stops, and the palace is sending people to escort the uncle to meet the mother.

Wu Congzhen and the others retreated with gratitude, and as their figures got farther and farther away, the last smile on Zhu Biao's face was completely suppressed. He is a fair person, and the love owed by his mother is no matter what. Will find a way to fill in.

But how to make it up depends on his will, not like this. If they hadn't made a request just now, Zhu Biao planned to select a group of young men from the Wu family to enter the Beijing camp, and then select some young children to enter the Imperial College.

Wu Congzhen and others seem to have chosen a long-term path, which can be relied on from generation to generation, but they forget that the clan and royal relatives are scarce now, but they will expand rapidly with time. In other words, the word Shixu is decent.

Now that the world is uncertain, there are still wars to be fought in northern Xinjiang, Liaodong, and the south. The young and strong Wu family entered the Beijing camp to practice and then released them outside. It doesn't matter if there is any extra care from Zhu and Zhu Biao, just because Empress Ma is in the army. For his kindness, there will always be martial arts to support him. Are you afraid that there will be no military exploits to win?

Even though it is impossible to easily become a marquis, as long as he is willing to live in peace, and when the imperial court finishes taking care of the nobles of Huaixi, there is no chance to fill the vacancies, that is the real way to live with the country.

Of course, in terms of Wu Cong's true experience, it is not easy to choose this long-term path. It is too much to ask him to see through the obstacles in the current game of founding the country, but it is a pity.

It can be seen that sometimes being too shrewd is not a good thing. It is true that stupid people have good fortune. It is true that they have insight. It is easier to do as many mistakes as possible. If you don’t do it, you may have unexpected joy. Of course, there are no absolutes, so life is difficult and unsatisfactory Things happen all the time.

Zhu Biao got up and walked to the side hall, just about to go to see if his sons were awake again, when he saw a palace maid came over to salute with a little panic, she was hesitating to speak but was not entangled.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao thought for a while and then he understood, and he stopped talking, but stopped and casually leaned his shoulders against the wall, continuing his wandering.

The maids in the Eastern Palace were all well-bred, and there was only one reason for stopping him rashly, that is, the nanny inside might have undressed and was breastfeeding two children.

The nurses are big-hearted, so if Zhu Biao really wanted to see it, he would go in and see it. After all, no one dared to stop him. The nurses were at most shy and dared not stop the emperor and grandson from eating. After all, there was no one in the East Palace who was not the crown prince People's things.

It's just that he is not so bad, if he really wants a woman with a big heart, he can give a command at will, someone has worked hard to find a beautiful woman, he can do whatever he wants, there is no prince who can't get it, It's nothing more than wanting and not wanting.

Liu Jin, counting the days, it has been three or four years since the compilation of Zu Xun Lu?

Liu Jin Shanji responded immediately: Reporting to Your Highness, the Holy Majesty ordered the Ministry of Rites of the Imperial Academy and other official offices to start compiling at the beginning of the second year of Hongwu, and it has been more than three years now.

Bring it from the Minister of Rites, I want to take a look at it.

promise.

Wu Congzhen, who was also at a loss, reminded that Zhu Biao had planned to intervene in the compilation of the Zu Xunlu long ago, but he had been busy for the past two years, and the old Zhu was so strict that he never let him read it. I never thought of it.

The so-called ancestral precepts are the Emperor Ming Ancestral Precepts that will be handed down to future generations. It stipulates all aspects of the internal management methods of the royal family, which can be described as extremely detailed.

There are no prominent figures in the ancestors of the old Zhu family, so naturally there are no ancestral precepts and family rules to speak of. These ancestral precepts are the rules for dealing with the internal affairs of the royal family in the future, and Zhu Biao has to pay attention to them.

In a patriarchal society, even if the emperor handles the internal affairs of the clan, he can't be arbitrarily appointed, otherwise he will be blamed by the world. The royal family is a model for the clan in the world, and must set an example. Carry out the governance program of the imperial society for two thousand years.

This is also the case in this dynasty. Lao Zhu regards filial piety as the foundation of morality, the universal meaning of ancient and modern times, and the priority of emperors.

If the ruler can respect the heavens, if the ministers can be loyal to the ruler, and if the son can be filial to his relatives, then humanity will be established.

Just like now, the imperial examination is suspended. Except for the official career of Guozijian, talents are selected, whose goals include virtuous and upright, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, and senior citizens.

Although Lao Zhu is a bit stingy with the salaries of officials, he often teaches the people filial piety in the form of old-age care. He bestows cloth on the elderly, confers official positions on village elders, and allows them to discuss and govern the government, criticize officials, manage civil lawsuits, and educate the people. , to play their role.

It even expressly stipulates that the elderly over 80 years old shall be supported by the government, and their descendants may choose one of them to be exempted from imperial labor service and concentrate on supporting them, so as to extend the family happiness of the elderly and filial piety for all children and grandchildren.

Your Highness.

The maid at the side called out cautiously, and Zhu Biao came back to his senses and walked in. The two well-fed children on the huanghuali wooden canopy bed were eagerly wanting to turn over and have fun, but they still had more energy than energy.

Zhu Biao picked one up casually, and a strong milky aroma came to his nostrils, which reminded him not only of the days when he had no teeth when he was a child, it was really vivid in his memory.

Looking at the two respectful nannies, he said: Thank you for your hard work. The Shu brocade just sent from Shu is not bad. Let's each go and get two.

The Shu brocade enshrined in the palace is hard to come by, and the ordinary concubines in the harem may not be able to get two horses, so it is known that it is precious, and the two wet nurses bowed down to thank them in a polite way, but their appearances are very correct, and their tone is very calm. There is joy but not too much, which makes Zhu Biao very satisfied.

The servant bows to thank His Highness.

These two nannies have been serving in the palace for a long time, and now they have a degree in answering their words, which shows that the palace does support people, the so-called housing and nourishing the body, and the demeanor comes from this.

Even if the nanny sees either the holy queen or the prince and concubine every day, and feeds the serious grandsons of the emperor in her arms, and the rest of the people are like that, they will not be so sincere and fearful when facing rewards.

This is a good thing, the nurse is the closest person to the child, according to Zhu Biao and Chang Luohua's thinking, they are going to take care of Yang'er Liang'er in the palace until the age of six or seven.

In this way, their words and deeds will affect the children. Zhu Biao naturally hopes that they can be more outstanding, so that they can educate the children, instead of only knowing the obedient slaves.

Zhu Biao leaned against his son and said, It's been nearly eight years since my nanny died of illness. Liu Jin, is her son's family doing well?

Zhu Biao has Su Hui, so naturally he is not very close to the nanny who hugged him and nursed him every day when he disagreed with each other. Mrs. Shuai's Queen Ma rewarded the farmland and the house, and Zhu Biao also stole a few gold nuggets from the warehouse and stuffed them into her arms.

Originally, she had a smooth life after returning home. Although her husband and son were a little strange, they had to respect her, and with the Marshal's Mansion as their backer, they should have been rich and honored for the rest of their lives. After a few years of good life, he died of illness.
