First Prince of Ming Dynasty

It's nothing more than giving an official position, after all, it can only be regarded as an honor, although the grade is a bit too high, but the Chen family still has a concubine Liang in the East Palace, the future can be expected, it's not too much.

The real benefit should be the first-class Mrs. Gaoming. Mrs. Gaoming has a salary but no real power. It more represents a kind of honor and appreciation, which means the recognition and affirmation from the royal family.

Moreover, the title of Mrs. Gaoming is not only her own honor but also the honor of the whole family. Once canonized, Mrs. Gaoming can put her portrait in the family ancestral hall to be enshrined by future generations.

The wife of Chen Youzong, the co-administrator, is only a third-rank courtesan, which is not low, but the wives of many founding princes on the opposite side inevitably lack confidence, and it will be different in the future.

Zhu Biao wants to use the Chen family as a model, a model that everyone in the world can clearly see. If it is said that the honor of the founding heroes comes from the emperor, then Zhu Biao is now officially starting to promote his direct lineage to the highest level. top of the power structure.

The matter of the Chen family was thus settled, Zhu Biao also turned to the memorial he wanted to find, picked up the memorial that had already been approved by the commander of the Suzhou Guard, Cai Ben, and read it again: "I heard that Wei Guan was in Suzhou during his tenure. Quite accomplished, what Cai Ben said may be exaggerated."

It is written in the memorial that Cai Ben had ulterior motives in impeaching Wei Guan. Since he became the magistrate of Suzhou, he has often communicated with the old officials of the Yuan Dynasty, and the restoration of the palace and the opening of Jingjing must have different plans.

The emperor's personal approval was to order Yushitai's supervisory censor Zhang Du to go to Suzhou to investigate the matter. This secret order would not pass through the Zhongshu Ministry, but would be passed directly to Zhang Du through the Tongzheng Envoy.

The supervisory censors of the imperial court went to inspect the local military, government and people's livelihood in the open, but there were also those who went to investigate secretly under the secret decree. They usually set out to run errands with an old donkey and a bag. Most of the corruption cases of local officials were caused by them. It was found out secretly.

Zhu Yuanzhang responded casually: "How old is Wei Guan? How can we believe that he has any other pictures? It's just that Suzhou is special. It's better for people to take a look. Zhang Du is not only to check Wei Guan, but also to check it. Check Caiben."

This style is very much like his own father's, but Zhu Biao still feels that something is wrong. If it is a remote place, it will be fine. Because of Zhang Shicheng's many remnants, Suzhou has always been an important place for secret surveillance by the pro-military captain's mansion. It is impossible to hide it from my father, so why send a supervisor to investigate the situation.

But Zhu Biao didn't continue to ask any more questions. Since Comrade Zhu didn't want to tell him for the time being, it must be the reason.

Beckon Fugui to come forward and move the unapproved memorials on the imperial case to his own case, while Zhu Biao walked to the side of the hall and looked at the incense burner that was breathing green smoke. This thing should be the two Presented by Nissin Jin.

Suanni raises its head, opens its mouth and protrudes its eyes, its fangs stand up, its teeth bite the embroidered belt, its tongue and lips roll up, its eyes are dotted with ink and glaze, its neck wears a collar, and three bells and chains hang from its neck. Its tail is hollowed out in a flame shape. Pointed, raised high behind the back, with five sharp claws on each of the hind legs, naturally bent and squatting on the cover.

The cover is in the shape of a six-petal lotus flower, piled on it for three weeks, with dozens of nails and a hydrangea. Floating out, quite exquisite.

"This item doesn't look like the style of Yuzaoju, where did it come from?"

The eunuch in charge of the censer in the Jinshen Hall hurriedly reported back: "If you return to Your Highness, this item was sent by the King of Korea as a tribute. The Holy Majesty saw the novelty and ordered the servants to move it in this morning."

After reviewing a stack of memorials, the superior Zhu Yuanzhang put down the Langhao pen in his hand and picked up the teacup on the side and drank it in a big gulp: "I'll take it back if I like it later."

Zhu Biao shook his head and said with a smile: "It's better not to take away the emperor's favor, but it would be great if the emperor could return the dagger that the minister had."

Old Zhu coughed and continued to critique at the desk. Although Zhu Biao already knew where his father kept the dagger brought back from the Northern Expedition, he had given up thinking about taking it back a long time ago, and just said it out to make fun of it.

Shaking his head helplessly, he went back to the desk and sat down: "It's not a festival, it's not a celebration, Goryeo sent envoys to pay tribute again with far-reaching intentions, probably because they knew about Chahan's coming to Beijing."

Zhu Yuanzhang casually took out the lacquered letter paper from the book case, and asked the eunuch who was waiting on the side to pass it over: "Koryo's national letter is the same as usual, but this time there is an extra letter from the Queen Mother of Korea to your mother."

Zhu Biao took it and read it again, the content was flat, mostly respectful greetings, and also praised the deeds of Empress Ma in the past, among which he also greeted the Crown Princess, and finally expressed sincerely that he hoped to receive a reply from Empress Daming .

Zhu Biao sighed: "I was in a hurry and went to the doctor. It seems that Empress Dowager Mingde is trying to save the life of Koryo Shen Wang Tutuobuhua. It's a pity that the situation is so far, Tuotuobuhua is sure to die."

Hand over the letter paper to Fugui and let him send it to Kunning Palace. Empress Ma has never interfered with such important matters concerning the state affairs of the two countries. How could outsiders compare to her husband and son.

In fact, from the time when Li Renren and the Goryeo clan wanted to welcome Tuotuobuhua back, this person's fate was doomed. Zhu Biao would not tolerate his layout being disrupted wantonly. Even if Nahachu didn't cooperate, Zhu Biao would have a way Kill Tuotuobuhua.

The question is what price they are willing to pay. Liaodong Liu Yi, Gao Jianu, and Ye Xianbuhua's attachment not only allowed Daming to further control Liaodong, but also allowed the pro-military Duwei Mansion to take advantage of the situation to infiltrate Jinshan and kill Naha. It's not realistic, but it's still possible to kill other people.

The superior Zhu Yuanzhang ignored his son's words. To him, Goryeo was just a barbarian vassal state. What is worth remembering is that the horses and ginseng are not bad, and it is finally useful. But if the son wants to play and practice, then let him go.

Zhu Biao stopped talking and began to review the memorial in front of him. As soon as he opened the first copy, he felt a twitch in his temple. The imperial court allocated more than 334,400 taels of silver and more than 147,700 pieces of cotton cloth.

It’s okay to say brocade cloth, the imperial court has its own reserves, but the Ministry of Finance and Accounts should be gone, if there is, there will be ownership arrangements long ago, but it has not been allocated to the national treasury for temporary storage.

This kind of thing is usually called back directly, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is asked to renegotiate with the Ministry of Household Affairs. If the money is not enough, other materials are used to subsidize it. It can always be fooled.

But Zhu Biao was ready to agree after a moment of heartache. Since the founding of the country, the salaries of court officials have been limited, let alone guarding the frontier. In the past few years, they have been closely following the two armies of the North and the South, and they are less concerned about the troops stationed in other places. It's not the way to always do this, you have to let people eat dumplings.

In fact, I still have money in hand. Fortunately, I searched for some money from several major merchants a few days ago, otherwise Zhu Biao would not be able to spend so much. Inexplicably, he found that he really couldn't save his life. All gone.

But I can't promise so happily, if those guys in the court know that the crown prince still has surplus food, then the food money that needs to be transferred tomorrow will be in the millions, and the left and right are spent on the prince's money, no one will Distressed.

According to the report from the Ministry of War, Peng Gong, the head of the Ministry of War, and Peng Wanli, the commander of the Luzhou defense, gathered 2,660 soldiers from the old school of the Ming family in Sichuan as an army.

The former lieutenant generals and schools belonging to the Ming clan were integrated into an army. This was a plan mentioned in Liu Bowen's secret memorial two months ago. Once these people died, the foundation of the Ming clan would completely disappear.

Even though Ming Sheng brought most of the Ming family's children to Beijing, there are still a few partial children who are still relying on the natural dangers of Bashu to resist. s help.

There must be innocent people among them, but neither Liu Bowen nor Tang He was in the mood to waste their energy on them. They simply sent them directly to Yunnan and Guizhou to suppress the bandits. Only those who survived were eligible to talk about loyalty.

According to the report of Zhongshu Province, Huguang, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Shandong, Shanxi, Shanxi, Henan and the seven provinces, the annual iron class is 8,564,500 catties, and the copper class in Chizhou Prefecture is 180,000 catties.
