First Prince of Ming Dynasty

After all, your subjects are also living people, each with their own pursuits, whether they want to honor their ancestors or seek glory and wealth, it is impossible to just play with you, when your decision is not in the interests of everyone, they will Make the choice for you.

For example, if Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still the king of Wu, suddenly ordered Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er to come back to the throne and proclaim himself emperor, would Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tanghe and other counselors and generals agree?

No, they must first try their best to persuade them in private. If they are sure that Zhu Yuanzhang really wants Han Liner to become emperor, then they will organize their own people to kill Han Liner's family, young and old, without leaving any survivors.

Because once Han Lin'er ascended the throne, they would lose all their merits of being a dragon, and their prosperity and wealth would all come to naught. This would be tantamount to killing them, so they would naturally not agree.

The same is true for Zhu Biao, who dares to spy on his crown prince, will Chang Yuchun, Lanyu, Chen Youzong, Yan Donglai, Song Lian and others agree? No, even if Zhu Yuanzhang meant it, Song Lian dared to lead a group of great scholars to crash into the palace gate to death when he got the news.

They are the emperor's courtiers, but their wealth and lives are bet on Zhu Biao, and the rest of them become emperors. They, the ex-princes, cannot escape being purged, and it is difficult to survive, let alone realize their ideals and ambitions.

Many times, when there are too many subordinates, it is up to you to do what you want to do. The way to control subordinates is difficult and difficult. The reason why human groups give a person power is because it has been proved that it is in the interests of most people. This sentence is simple, But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that this is the basis of power.

Sitting in the empty hall, Zhu Biao thought, his father is so powerful, how difficult it is to build a consensus to control talents, Li Shanchang, Chang Yuchun, Liu Bowen and others are all outstanding people in the world, why do they bow their heads to Zhu Yuanzhang?

Throughout Lao Zhu's journey, he has never had a yellow robe or anything like that. From raising troops to founding a country, from being exiled as a poor boy to joining the army as a young man, he has never made a mistake in controlling his subordinates and grasping the overall situation.

Liu Bang admits that he is not as good as Zhang Liang in strategy, Xiao He is not as good in governing the country, and Han Xin is not as good in war, but Zhu Yuanzhang is not. After all, it is not as good as others have.

Today's Zhu Yuanzhang is better at commanding troops than Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, and his strategy of governing the country is not inferior to that of Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, and even his calligraphy is quite good. Although he doesn't use it on weekdays, Lao Zhu's literary quality is quite good. This is a lot of generals who were born at the bottom Even the emperor does not have the quality.

According to the unified dynasty, Qin Shihuang, Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, Sima Yan, Yang Jian, Li Yuan, Kublai Khan, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Shunzhi can be called the founding emperors. You can see them at a glance. Zhu Yuanzhang is so special.

Zhu Biao stopped his divergent thinking, shook his head, took a sip of tea and asked casually, "Have the princes and princesses gone?"

Liu Jin has been waiting on the sidelines so she didn't know clearly, bowed and walked out quickly, and came back after a while and said: "All gone, even those little highnesses were taken in by the nanny, and the Holy Majesty dismissed them after receiving them for a while. .”

Zhu Biao nodded: Where is Mu Ying? "

These words came suddenly, Liu Jin thought for a while and said: "According to the distance, I should have arrived in Beijing in these two days."

Zhu Biao suddenly glanced at Liu Jin and said, "You can stay in the palace this time. The Crown Princess is pregnant, and I don't feel at ease if no one looks at me."

Liu Jin solemnly promised: "Don't worry, my servant will definitely take good care of the Crown Princess!"

Liu Jin didn't swear any poisonous oaths, because he thought that his own life was worthless, so it's better to do things with all his heart than to say those things are useless.

After hearing this, Zhu Biao was relieved a lot. Although Empress Ma was also in the palace, as a queen, she was in charge of concubines in the six palaces and a concubine outside the palace.

Liu Jin is his confidant, and also an eunuch, so it is naturally the best choice, not to mention that Liu Jin's prestige in the palace is not low, Zhu Yuanzhang himself does not have a personal eunuch, which leads to Liu Jin's special status, all the court ladies and eunuchs in the palace are With respect.

After giving a few more careful instructions, he got up and went to Jinshen Hall to serve him. Although he knew that his father was in good health, others didn't know. As a son of man, there was no reason for him not to be there to serve him. The heavenly family had no personal matters. There are invisible rules bound.

But Zhu Biao is not disgusted, he has to pay for what he gets, and he can't just enjoy the power and wealth brought by the prince's status but don't want to take responsibility, and only think about freedom, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

When we arrived at Jinshen Hall, only Lao Zhu was reviewing a small stack of memorials in the main hall. After Zhu Biao walked in, he waved away the maids and eunuchs serving in the hall. Only Liu Jin was left serving tea and water.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even look up: "Have you ordered everything?"

Zhu Biao sat down and picked up a memorial that had been reviewed and replied: "It's arranged, Mao Xiang has already left, and my son called Hu Weiyong to talk for a while."

Zhu Yuanzhang was noncommittal. Zhu Biao looked at the memorial in his hand. It was sent by Han Yike, the imperial envoy of inspection. .

Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions were also very simple. Immediately escorted the prefect of Kaifeng and other criminal officials to Beijing for trial by the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment. He joined Jiaofang as a slave.

Zhu Biao picked up a few others, trying to imitate the general content and punishment: "These are still near the capital, and they are really greedy, and death is not a pity."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't stop writing, and he didn't know how many corrupt officials would destroy their families: "Don't be angry, they are nothing, just kill as many as there are, they can always be killed, although we also know that it is wrong to put an end to official corruption. It’s possible, but we must at least keep them from embezzlement in the open.”

It will be ten times easier for people who dare not embezzle the common people on the surface. Some places are no longer corrupt, that is, expropriation and expropriation. After paying the taxes for a year, they still owed them dozens of taels, and they were forced to sell their fields and girls.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and his son are very clear about these things. This time the imperial censor's inspection is just to open the way. Those officials who don't know how to cover up the expropriation are taken down, and the rest are likely to leak under the deeper panic. , the people in the pro-military Duwei's Mansion are all watching from the sidelines.
