First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao's car drove out of Pingliangfu City in a mighty manner, and Zhang Fan and other officials saw him off. They originally wanted to organize the people to send them off, but Zhu Biao refused. There was really no need to do this.

Ordinary people can't understand what he came to do this time, they only know that the prince came and killed many high officials, that's all.

There is no such thing as gratitude, crying and reluctance. The gentry who can really represent them was killed by Zhu Biao, and the remaining ones would be good if they didn't curse him secretly. Naturally, it is impossible to organize a performance for the people.

Any official who has managed a place knows that the so-called people who win the hearts of the people win the world. The people among them are not these poor people at all. What are they?

Before broadening the wisdom of the people, the common people's ignorance only wanted to survive, and they didn't care who was in power. The Mongol Yuan could do it, and so did the Manchu Qing. They all committed wanton killings, but it didn't affect their success. Lord of the Central Plains, as long as they can treat the gentry, government and business class well, as long as they can let the remaining people farm and eat.

After instructing Zhang Fan and others again, Zhu Biao set off to return to Beijing quite at ease. It can be described as a step up to the sky.

Zhu Biao stayed for more than a month to see if they would lose their desire for power due to their sudden rise to high positions. Fortunately, the mentality of these people is not bad, and I believe that at least in recent years there should be no major changes.

Zhu Biao never looks at a person with inherent impressions, and he looks at him with admiration for three days. With the change of status, a person will indeed be very different from the original one. A clean official will not necessarily remain a clean official for a lifetime, and there may not be no corrupt officials. When I suddenly wake up.

Zhu Biao left them 200,000 taels of silver, which was a lot less than a lot. After all, it was to support several state capitals to restore people's livelihood. I just hoped that they would not be fooled by the money.

Zhu Biao is not a harsh king either. He rewarded Zhang Fan, Guo Chong, Li Jin and others with five hundred taels of silver each in his own name, and the rest of them also rewarded more or less, in order to tell them that they can be free and rich if they do their jobs well. In the future, don't be greedy and go astray.

He gave what should be given, and also gave what should not be given. He asked himself that he was lenient in treating his subjects. If they were still ignorant, then the court would have a severe punishment waiting for them that would make them regret it.

After that, he rushed to Xi'an Mansion for several days. While supplying food, Zhu Biao also met with the officials of the prefecture city, beat each of them well, and then had a fairly sumptuous banquet and rested in the city for one night. The day continued.

There was no major event along the way, and Zhu Biao didn't have too many escorts this time. All the state capitals he often passed by for supplies, and he didn't refuse the visits of officials from various places. All kinds of officials were accompanying the prime minister.

There is no bottom line in holding Zhu Biao, but I have to say that listening to it really makes people feel happy. After regaining his status as the prince, Zhu Biao has always seen good people, all sensible and well-behaved.

The officials who can stay along the way are basically screened by Lao Zhu, so they are not big treacherous and greedy people. It's just that Zhu Biao is not satisfied with this flattery, but he can't be harsh because of it. What, what can the loyal and obedient prince do wrong?

After passing through Shanxi, Zhu Biao got on the boat, and the car was really bumpy. Since there was a more comfortable one, Zhu Biao didn't want to wrong his butt, not to mention that he was really not feeling well recently.

After boarding the boat, it was much more relaxed, not only Zhu Biao was relieved, but also the accompanying guards and local officials were relieved. After wandering for half a month, Zhu Biao finally set foot on the boundary of the capital again.

As soon as he got on the pier, he saw Hu Weiyong leading all the civil and military officials in official robes to greet him with joy, and when he was still five steps away, he knelt down and bowed down neatly: "I wait for you to welcome the prince back to Beijing, and your highness will be safe forever!"

Zhu Biao was naturally happy when he returned home, and he stretched out his hands to help him: "Please, all my lovers, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time."

Hu Weiyong got up and said: "Your Highness is not in the capital, we are also looking forward to it day and night."

"That's right, if His Highness is not in the capital, it's like you don't have a backbone, and you are terrified when you run errands."

"His Royal Highness has lost a lot of weight, which shows hard work."

Yushi Zhongcheng Han Qi, who had just been released, frowned and said: "The country cannot live without a king, how could His Highness go on tour with the Holy One so easily, it's too dangerous!

"His Royal Highness, as the Ming Dynasty, should supervise the country's governance during the period when the emperor left the court, so as to reassure the hearts of the people in the world. If the old minister was not in prison at that time, he would rather die than let the two monarchs leave Beijing together."

Zhu Biao's face froze, and he looked helplessly at Old Master Han who had a face full of innocence, but he was not angry at all. What Han Qi said was indeed words of loyalty to the emperor and the country. Messed up.

But going out this time is also forced to help, after all, it is because Liu Chun's matter is too involved, and loyalty and filial piety can not be messed up even by the royal family, otherwise how can we demand loyalty and filial piety from the subjects of the world.

The envoy, Chen Youzong, hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Han Zhongcheng had already advised the Holy Majesty in the early court a few days ago, and the Holy Majesty also agreed, why bother to say it when His Highness just returned to Beijing."

Zhu Biao looked at Old Master Han seriously and said: "What Zhongcheng said is very true, I will remember it."

Han Qi's complexion softened and he bowed and said, "Your Highness is wise, and I have nothing in front of you..."

After that, Yan Donglai and others stopped him before he said anything. Zhu Biao naturally pretended he didn't hear it. He turned to look at Hu Weiyong and said, "There is two hundred thousand taels of silver on the boat behind, which belongs to the household department. Where to go, let's discuss with the Ministry of Education and the Six Departments."

As soon as this remark came out, Hu Weiyong and others' eyes lit up, while Hubu Shangshu was so happy that tears came out, and even Zhu Biao couldn't care about Zhu Biao, and ran towards the boat behind him. past.

The poor rats in the household department now have to wipe their tears when they go in, but the rest of the court think that the household department hides mountains of gold and grain, and they will open their mouths at every turn. If they say no, someone will impeach him for corruption, the minister of the household department, please Your Majesty Punish the country's thieves.

Under such severe circumstances, Hubu still owed the Jiangnan gentry a million shi of grain. The Hubu Shangshu basically believed that once the three-year period came, the Holy One would take the heads of his whole family to pay the Jiangnan gentry.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly brought back two hundred thousand taels of silver, two hundred thousand taels, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so wise!

Looking at the cheerful back of the Minister of the Household Department, Hu Weiyong and the officials of the other ministries all smiled happily, as if seeing their useless thin dog turned into a big fat pig, it will be a big surprise tonight!
