First Prince of Ming Dynasty

After Zhu Biao took a few sips of tea, he continued to review the memorials. Huguang reported that Wang Foer, a demon from Luotian County, claimed to be the birth of Maitreya Buddha.

Guizhou Xuanwei envoy Longzan Aqi played a report, Sinan Xuanwei Si Rongxi Zhiziping barbarian people rebelled, and expelled his chief Yang Shirong, and Xuanwei envoy sent troops to fight for peace.

Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials said that the world is peaceful, and he said that the territory at home and abroad is tens of thousands of miles away. If he wants to see the situation of mountains and rivers, Guan, Esai, and the production of far and near soil and objects in prefectures and counties, he should order all provinces to draw maps every leap year. .

The Ministry of Rites reported that the King of Goryeo sent Lu Zhen, the governor of Mizhi, to give the medicine bait to the sea and the fine cloth and the prescription to the East Palace of the Central Palace. The Empress Dowager Mingde later gave Baoshen to the fetus of Princess An.

The Qintian Supervisor reported that at night there were blue and white meteors traveling northeast from the center of the Zhengbei cloud until they disappeared in the air.

The Department of Monk Daolu has approved 96,328 monks, nuns and Taoists in the world.

The prefect of Chengdu reported that the restoration of Chengdu City was completed. On Wednesday, it was 1,600 feet high and 3 feet high, and the houses on the city were 279.

Zhu Biao went to review the case, and the time passed without knowing it. The emperor and queen left Beijing for a tour, and it was a big deal inside and outside the palace, but to Zhu Biao, it was nothing.

Noon passed quickly, and Zhu Biao was interrupted by the unbearable hunger in his belly at the time of application. He looked at the pile of memorials that not only did not decrease, but thickened a bit, and sighed.

"Let's pass on the meal."

Liu Jin, who had come back earlier and was scratching his head anxiously, hurriedly responded. He has been persuading his father to eat since he came back. After all, he ate very little breakfast. Even though he had some refreshments in the middle, it was no better than eating to nourish his health.

Still in accordance with the rules set by Empress Ma, Zhu Biao's meals were very simple and the taste was ordinary, but it also conformed to the golden mean.

After eating two pieces of cakes and a bowl of rice, Zhu Biao also let out a sigh of satisfaction, thinking in his heart that after these critical days passed, more government affairs would have to be transferred to Zhongshu Province.

Not only is it to give Hu Weiyong a chance, but it is also really difficult for one person to undertake such heavy government affairs. Not everyone is the hard-working Emperor Zhu. If Zhu Biao follows the rhythm of his father, I am afraid that he will be exhausted here sooner or later. in the hall.

Zhu Biao considers his heart to be firm and resolute. Although he is not as good as Lao Zhu, who is such an outstanding and founding king through the ages, he should be among the best among the many emperors and princes in the past dynasties. Even he can't stand this kind of hard work, let alone His descendants.

After eating, Zhu Biao walked slowly in the hall, recalling in his mind whether there were any omissions in the memorial that he had just reviewed, and whether the implementation of the government order would cause other chain reactions.

After thinking about it like this, it came to Youshi, when Liu Jintong reported to Prime Minister Hu that he was leading the six ministers to ask for an audience. Zhu Biao did not summon them in Jinshen Hall, but ordered Liu Jin to lead them to Huagai Hall to wait.

Zhu Biao was not in a hurry to go. It was a meeting of the power center of the imperial court after the emperor left Beijing, and there was no substantive content to discuss.

After the cup of tea was exhausted, Zhu Biao got up and went to the side hall to change clothes. The court clothes were too solemn and solemn, which is not necessary at this time, not to mention that Zhu Biao wanted to let Hu Weiyong hold more power.

He changed into a gown with a collar and narrow sleeves, embroidered with golden silk into cloud and wave patterns, and the shadow of a dragon appeared faintly refracted by the sun. The crown on his head was also taken off, and he simply tied it behind his back with a gold ring inlaid with oriental beads.

Zhu Biao moved his body contentedly, and then walked towards the Huagai Hall, Liu Jin followed behind and said: "The slaves have just invited a few servants to sit for tea."

"Um."

Except for the Fengtian Hall and the Jinshen Hall, these court officials are eligible to sit down no matter where they are. Only when they are in this state can they be qualified to secretly shout a sentence in their hearts to assist the king to rule the world, who else but me!

Zhu Biao stepped into the Huagai Hall. The so-called Huagai is one of the star officials in the stars. It belongs to Ziweiyuan, shaped like an umbrella, and has the duty of protecting the emperor. Aloof, detached, unattainable meaning.

"The minister waits to welcome the prince for a thousand years."

"Hehe, there's no need to be so restrained, otherwise, why would my palace specially ask a few lovers to wait here in the Huagai Palace?"

Zhu Biao passed them directly to the superior seat and said with a smile: "Just now Chen Aiqing played the right role in Jinshen Palace, but I refused to accept the seat given by the Palace, so I didn't meet with Qing and others in Jinshen Palace."

Hu Weiyong sighed: "Your Highness is generous and benevolent, and the ministers are so grateful."

Naturally, the six ministers also had this expression, especially Chen Mingjie, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, with white hairs on his temples. At this time, the eyes were shining brightly, and he was really about to cry.

"Sit down."

After seeing them sitting down respectfully, Zhu Biao said: "I have just reviewed the memorials for several hours, and now they are still piled up like a mountain. Presumably the same is true for several lovers. The government affairs are heavy, and you and I should encourage each other."

"Don't you dare to share your worries!"

Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction, and then began to flatter Hu Weiyong, saying that those who can do more work, Hu Xiangzhong is loyal to the monarchy, and is also the proposer of the imperial court's national policy for the current ten years, and the six ministries should try their best to cooperate.

Hu Weiyong repeatedly got up and begged for mercy, while the other six books expressed that he would obey His Highness the Crown Prince's wishes and would try his best to cooperate with the prime minister in governing the country.

"Hearing the words of Qing and others, I feel relieved. It is also because I promised last year that I will take the concubines to Zijin Mountain for an outing after the spring. Now they are so noisy."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials laughed and said: "Although Your Highness has not yet spoken the constitution of heaven, it is still a golden word, and since it has been promised, it should be fulfilled."

Minister of the Ministry of Rites pondered for a moment and said: "It's a trivial matter for Your Highness to take your family to Zijin Ri for an outing, but I implore Your Highness to wait a few days, after all, the emperor and empress are not far away from Beijing."

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry for a few days, but the affairs of the Tea Horse Department, banknotes, and the Marquis of Jiangyin all need to be dealt with by the palace, and the rest of the government affairs may not be able to handle it.

………………

After some responses, the meaning of what should be expressed was very clear, and they must have understood it too. The prime minister led the Zhongshu Province to assist in government affairs, and the six departments actively cooperated.

As for those officials who are still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, they will find excuses to pardon them after three or four days, and those who have spoken badly must confess their guilt and repent. As for those who are really stubborn, they will be demoted to the local Anmin.

Zhu Biao reached out to pick up the teacup, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly stood up and said, "I have a happy event to report to Your Highness. Today, Xuyi County Minwang Liujin Ruimai has one stalk and two ears. Natural wealth and good luck are all signs of the blessings of the country, and they are signs of the holy world."

"The production of today's Ruimai is the god's use of the spirit of grass and trees to show the image of the unity of the monarch and his ministers. It is also produced in Xuyi, which belongs to the Linhao Emperor Township. The state of the ancestral temple is Rui Mai."

"The Holy Majesty reopened the sun, the moon, and the new sky. The prince's benevolence is well known in the world. The two monarchs are so hopeful that the people's lives will be in harmony. The prosperity is coming, and I would like to congratulate your highness!"

The Minister of Rites said that he was full of enthusiasm. In fact, this auspiciousness reported to the Ministry of Rites yesterday, but he deliberately suppressed it for a day. After the current emperor proudly passed on the jade seal of the country, if he doesn't like auspiciousness, even if he reports it, it will be fine.

And today, when His Highness the Crown Prince was appointed to formally act on behalf of the monarch to govern the country, His Highness must be delighted to present such auspicious omen anyway. After all, it is a good story to spread, even if His Majesty knew about it, His Highness would not say much.

The Minister of Rites obviously greeted him in advance, and a young eunuch at the gate of the hall was about to come in holding a purple box covered with a yellow scarf and present it to the prince to watch the auspiciousness.

Hu Weiyong and the other five ministers naturally stood up to congratulate him very cooperatively. Zhu Biao stood up and smiled after a moment of silence: "I don't dare to take Rui Mai as my palace. It must be attributed to the virtues of my father, emperor and ancestors, and it should also be attributed to the soldiers who use their lives." To defend against the enemy outside the gates of the country should also be attributed to the ministers who are honest and thrifty, long-cherished and night-sleeping to govern the country and secure the people inside!"

Zhu Biao waved his hand slightly and said: "This is auspicious, one stem and two ears, so take one ear and send it to Zhongshan King, take one ear and donate it to Hu Xiangguo, and give the stem to the emperor before the emperor."

The Minister of Rites smiled a little stiffly, and Zhu Biao continued to order: "Since auspiciousness is bestowed by heaven, why should it be given to people, Gu Nian Wang Liu has great blessings, but the reward is six taels of silver and a piece of cloth, which will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites."
