First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao didn't want to care too much about the inner curtains of the back house, so he nodded and smiled and said, With you here, I don't need to worry about the palace affairs.

Chang Luohua also smiled sweetly. The scene of the husband and wife's deep and tacit understanding made Li Yan on the side move her eyes away and bit her pink lips slightly, obviously she was extremely unwilling to see it.

As for Wang Rui, she doesn't care about it and is even happy to see it. Only when the crown princess's status is stable, the East Palace will be peaceful, and the fetus in her womb will not be feared. Only the mother and child can live safely in the palace. It is really the blessing of the Buddha. .

Zhu Biao cast his eyes on Wang Rui and said: It's late at night, you should rest early when you are pregnant, go back and eat less and rest, if you feel uncomfortable, remember to summon the imperial physician at any time.

Wang Rui got up and protected Xianhuai's lower abdomen and bowed slightly to the prince and princess: Thank you for your concern, the concubine will leave.

Well, go, be careful on the road.

The maid next to Wang Rui supported her hand and turned to retreat. Immediately, a large group of court ladies and eunuchs carrying lanterns and screens to keep out the wind poured out in front of the palace gate, fearing that something might happen to the future grandson or princess.

Seeing this, Li Yan could only get up and say goodbye, but his eyes were firmly glued to the crown prince. Zhu Biao just smiled at her to show that he knew that the foundation of the stability of the East Palace was the crown princess. she.

Chang Luohua couldn't help covering her mouth and said with a smile: If my sister is so reluctant to part with His Highness, why don't you take her back.

Li Yan looked at Chang Luohua dissatisfied, but Chang Luohua smiled and just looked at her with the eyes of a naughty little sister. Li Yan's face flushed and she turned around and left with a snort.

Zhu Biao shook his head and said, Childish, don't argue with her.

Chang Luohua waved his hand, and all the servants in the hall retreated, leaving only the husband and wife, then he got up and walked to Zhu Biao and said, Isn't it because someone dotes on the child?

Zhu Biao looked at the red dress embroidered with golden phoenix in front of him, couldn't help pulling his wife to let her sit on his lap, stretched his hand around Qianqian Liu's waist, and rubbed his fingers on his lapel belt: Then why is the princess of the palace? Isn't it childish? Could it be that Ben Gong doesn't love her enough?

Chang Luohua didn't respond, but stretched out his arms to hug her husband's neck, closed his eyes, and leaned against him. Zhu Biao didn't speak anymore, and smelled the familiar smell of his wife, leaning against the back of the chair, and hugged his arms even tighter.

In the empty hall, the two hugged each other to relieve the fatigue and worries of the day. Zhu Biao was busy with government affairs, and Chang Luohua also had to take care of the East Palace and the harem, as well as the wives of the former dynasty. Thinking about...

In the next few months, there were no major incidents in the court, and the Beijing camp incident was also properly resolved. After the interrogation, Runan Hou Mei Sizu was temporarily dismissed due to leaving his post without authorization and sent to Liaodong to guard the general.

Zhu Biao also took the time to see Duan Shi, the envoy of the Duan Clan in Dali. The discussion was not bad, but Duan Qiangna, the daughter of the Duan Clan, still stayed in the capital. Enter the East Palace to serve.

There are already three more Chengweis in the East Palace, but it’s not bad to have more Duan Qiangna, although these four Zhu Biao don’t like them very much...

Due to Duan's reasons, Zhu Biao had already ordered Tang He, the general who conquered the South, to march to Yunnan. The Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China ordered Sichuan and Guizhou to raise military supplies.

With Longzan Aqi and other big chieftains surrendering to Daming, there have been constant wars in Guizhou these days, and it was all small barbarian tribes who rebelled. Guizhou Xuanwei Mansion suppressed the rebellion in the name of Daming.

In fact, Long Zan, Ah Qi and others knew that after two or three generations, they would give up the foundational land they depended on for survival, so they desperately searched for materials, people and wealth.

Those little Tu people rebelled not because they were persecuted by the policies of the Ming Dynasty, but because they were killed by the Tusi monarch they respected. All their property was confiscated.

Several major chieftain families are like this, doing their best to search and then buying land outside Guizhou, in order to obtain another rich and heirloom inheritance for their children and grandchildren.

And also let the family's collaterals lead the slaves to open up wasteland and cultivate. Yes, they are the original slaves of their family and the young and strong slaves captured in these several counter-insurgencies. The chieftain is actually slavery, and the relationship between the chieftain and the people under his rule is human The dependent master-servant relationship has a strong slave society color.

The world has its land, the world has its people, and the world has its politics. According to what the censors said, it is the officials of the world, the people of the world, and the people of the world. its owner.

Disregarding human life is like a trifling matter. Don't dare to have counselors and sighs at his side. Because of his officials and people, he will not be given to his father, but will be given to his children and grandchildren. How innocent people suffer from this tragedy...

Recently, the memorials to impeach Guizhou chieftains have been overthrown like rain. The scholar-bureaucrats in the Central Plains did have a kind of moral sentiment of compassion, but Zhu Biao did not order the punishment of Long Zan, Ah Qi, Song Mengxie and others.

The Tu people in Guizhou, especially those who live in one place, do not actually recognize the Ming Dynasty, or they only know the Tusi monarch in their cognition, which is not good for the future rule of the court.

The so-called barbarians are afraid of power but not virtuous. If there is no thunder, how can they show the grace of rain and dew;

The harsher the chieftains treated the people under their rule, the better it would be for the future court to gather the heads of the chieftains to appease the people. What's more, the chieftains organized manpower to reclaim wasteland and fields and also completed the integration of immigrants. This is what the court should do.

Now that someone has replaced him and also bears the notoriety, what a wonderful thing, how could Zhu Biao stop it?

As for the issue of slaves, it will happen to be resolved together in the future. In the early years of the founding of the country, Lao Zhu ordered the common people not to keep slaves, but to keep slaves.

Since the Han Dynasty, the slaves belonging to the gentry began to expand. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the manor economy rose, and a large number of tribes were attached as domestic slaves, tens of thousands of people at every turn.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the nobles and gentry even plundered a large number of civilians as slaves. Kublai Khan’s favorite minister, Ahema, had more than 7,000 people. For example, Li Boyou, the commander of Kublai Khan's bodyguards and personal troops, would have expelled three thousand...

After the founding of the country, the number of people was scarce, and in order to limit the power of the gentry, Lao Zhu strictly ordered them not to keep slaves. Nearly hundreds of thousands of people were able to get rid of slaves and become farmers, and then relied on the imperial court to organize land reclamation and farming to establish themselves.

This is why the Jiangnan case was so violent, but there were no rebels who became popular. It was because the gentry's biggest foundation was uprooted. Although they still hid some privately, it was not enough to make things happen.

But it’s not that there are no slaves anymore. Apart from official slaves, private individuals also have slaves, but the restrictions are very large. Lao Zhu stipulates that no one is allowed to keep slaves unless they are meritorious officials. Twelve people, no more than eight people for the third rank, and no slaves are allowed after the fourth rank.

As for foreigners, they are absolutely not allowed. It is stipulated that if Mongols and Semu people dare to own Han slaves, they will be killed...

Therefore, when the government of Anding prefecture and county in Yunnan and Guizhou is stable in the future, Zhu Biao will pardon them as good citizens. The chieftains will not be able to maintain their thousand-year tradition. How can the court allow a family to have tens of thousands of young and strong slaves.

Not to mention the chieftain of Guizhou, Zhu Biao hastily dispatched Xu Yungong, Mu Ying and Feng Cheng from the northern Xinjiang to join the Southern Army. World War I.

After the war, Tang He must be restored to the Duke of the country, and other rewards are also indispensable. When the founding of the country was forced to use Tang and this closest old brother to fight for power, Lao Zhu couldn't help feeling a little bit unbearable. compensated.

Once Tang He retreated, the Western Expedition Army must not be dispersed. Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, the three provinces need to be guarded, and Nanyang must also be deterred.

My father and emperor have not sent any order so far, so it can be seen that he is going to hand over this army to his son, so Zhu Biao will naturally not be polite. Xu Yungong, Mu Ying, Feng Cheng and Fu Zhong are all selected by him. For the future team, it is perfect to hone in the Southwest.
