First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Li Wenzhong still sighed regretfully. Everyone has the desire to hope that their children will become dragons, but what Zhu Biao said is true. Why should the top nobles be too smart? Smart people are prone to problems.

What's more, Li Jinglong is also good, at least he is a good actor, otherwise he would not have lost the great situation. During the Yongle period, people used this special award to enter Guanglu Doctor, Zuozhu Kingdom, Prince Taishi, and increase their salary. Ranked at the head of the group of officials, the scenery is infinite, and the heroes of Jingnan are all indignant about it.

Zhu Biao took a sip of the tea that Liu Jin brought up, and Li Wenzhong also calmed down and said with a smile: "I hope the child is stupid and rude, and there will be no disasters and troubles. There is no perfect thing in the world. Too greedy."

Zhu Biao couldn't deny it, and after a moment of silence, Li Wenzhong said: "Nowadays, the government of the country has no time to be idle. There are no white people talking and laughing. There are great Confucians. Not only Wu Xun is close to the court, but even Zhongshu is close." Many people from provincial officials and the Sixth Ministry have sent invitations, and I have pushed as many as I could."

Zhu Biao nodded slowly and said: "Civil and military are separated. You don't want to see the officials of the Ministry of Education and the six ministries. Over there, the palace has its own arrangements. Besides, the purge of officials is far from over. Those civil officials can live until the end to talk about it." other."

Li Wenzhong nodded. Naturally, he didn't want to have too much contact with the civil servants. Being the prince's representative in the military was enough. If he coveted the civil servants again, he would seek his own death.

Wasn’t that the case with Li Shanchang back then, otherwise, with his body, it would be no problem to work for five or six years, and he would have returned to his hometown early to be raised.

Li Wenzhong went on to say: "Since Gongchang Marquis Guo Xing, the rest of the marquises are also getting closer. Every day, people invite Zhao Yong and the others to have fun in brothels and restaurants in various places in Beijing."

Zhu Biao frowned and said: "It's not good to go on like this. Even if the emperor won't blame him, the eating looks are too ugly. Cousin, look at it and cut it down, don't be afraid of offending others."

Li Wenzhong replied with a wry smile: "Of course I'm not afraid of offending anyone, but I just feel that it's a pity to use it. They are all capable of recruiting and fighting, and now they all hold real power. Letting go like this is really..."

Zhu Biao waved his hand: "Most of those who can recruit good fighters are arrogant soldiers, and cousins ​​are clan relatives. They should know the dangers of these people. Now they are taking shelter under the command of this palace. Even the Ministry of punishment and Dali Temple dare not attack them. , This is not what I want to see."

Li Wenzhong nodded. The position of the crown prince is unbreakable, and there is no need to fight with other princes. No matter whether civil servants or military generals, there is no need to take too many traps. It will be a matter of course in the future.

Zhu Biao then knocked on the table and said: "Knock it once, let them abide by the law, it doesn't matter how they enjoy themselves, but they must not corrupt the law, let alone oppress the good, the world will be peaceful, if they still do things according to the rules of troubled times , then sooner or later there will be death, the difference is nothing more than the father's attack or the palace's attack."

Li Wenzhong stood up and bowed to promise: "I understand, good words are hard to persuade, damn it, those who act recklessly will be kicked out."

Zhu Biao waved him to sit down: "It's hard to persuade the damn ghost, my cousin is right. The court's purge of officials is not only aimed at civil servants. The nobles are also included. It's just that they are the founding heroes. Warn them with the blood of civil servants, if they are stubborn..."

Li Wenzhong is an honorable man, but he is also a relative of the emperor. After hearing the words, he didn't react too much. He nodded in a deep voice, and took a sip from his teacup.

After finishing the business, the atmosphere eased a lot, Zhu Biao casually said with a smile: "Has Chen Youzong ever visited?"

Li Wenzhong blushed: "Here we are, and I gave my minister ten thousand taels of silver, which made His Highness laugh. I rely on Tianen's family for snacks and drinks. It's enough, but those brothers who fought with me back then, either died or died. Disabled, the livelihood of the family is difficult to maintain, so this minister beat the doctrine to the Jiangnan aristocratic family."

Zhu Biao smiled more sincerely when he heard the words: "Of course I can trust my cousin. The imperial court should be responsible for the affairs of the officers and soldiers, and the father has also ordered to settle down. Now they still can't even maintain their livelihood. It seems that someone is full of money It's private."

Li Wenzhong sighed: "The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs are responsible for handling these matters, and the minister also brought people to seek justice, but they pushed each other to the end and nothing was done."

Zhu Biao was not surprised when he heard this: "I will personally watch this matter. When the north is pacified, the army must follow the route of elite soldiers. The life and death of soldiers is the most important thing."

Li Wenzhong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, how many people he could take care of, this kind of thing can only be done well by the court, as long as His Highness is determined, they will watch from the sidelines, at least the disabled soldiers can have a livelihood.

After that, the two of them talked about the situation in the north. Li Wenzhong joined the army as a young man, followed Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu and other famous generals to survive all battles, and his insights are also unique.

When the conversation was almost over, Li Wenzhong asked suddenly: "Mr. Yingguo has made great achievements, but is this reward too much? After all, Bashu is only a stronghold, and it is only a matter of time before they are conquered. I don't know what the Holy Majesty intends. Please ask your Highness to clarify?"

In fact, Zhu Biao just wanted to understand, and said lightly: "There must be a general in Beijing."

Li Wenzhong was taken aback when he heard the words. Although Song Guogong Feng Sheng and Wei Guogong Deng Yu had gone out to guard remote areas, there was Zhongshan King Xu Da in Beijing, and Li Wenzhong thought he was not weaker than others.

Could it be that Shengshang deliberately let him and Xu Shuai leave the capital to guard? But there is no reason, and there is no war. The north is enough to have a permanent commander. In the south, Yunnan, Guizhou, like Bashu, is just relying on the geographical advantages to stick to it. There is no threat at all. Wusizang in the west is also quite stable, not to mention what is going on inside them It can't be hidden from Daming's eyeliner at all, and the pirates on the east coast are just a disease of ringworm and scabies.

Zhu Biao saw that he couldn't figure it out, so he opened his mouth and pointed out: "What did I tell you just now, the butcher's knife for eradicating corruption will definitely fall on the nobles, and arrogant soldiers and powerful generals are the most troublesome problem for the court. You and Xu Shuai There are many henchmen under his command, crowding in the capital will only delay the processing time."

Although Li Wenzhong had been prepared for a long time, he never thought it would be too serious. He thought he would just pick out some bad-tempered people to make an example of them, but this would transfer him and Xu Shuai away from the capital, so it seemed that he was not just going to kill chickens.

Zhu Biao sighed quietly: "Father is not only the emperor of Huaixi people, but also the emperor of the people of the world. Even though you and Xu Shuai suppressed him, some princes are getting better and better, relying on their origin in Huaixi , They even reached out to the Ministry of Education.”
