First Prince of Ming Dynasty

But I guess that’s the case. After all, Zhu Biao is still in the capital. Someone will come to report to Zhu Biao if he does something wrong. Although he is the prime minister, his autonomy is not as great as imagined, even slightly inferior It is more like an ordinary feudal official.

Like Liu Bowen who is far away in the southwest, although with the character of Lao Zhu, he must have dispatched the pro-military captain's mansion to watch, but as long as Liu Bowen's actions do not touch the bottom line of military power, no one will dare to pierce this layer of window paper. No one will study the right and wrong of the implementation of government affairs, and the autonomy is great.

Of course, with Liu Bowen's prudence, he has never done anything out of the ordinary. Many government affairs that need to be implemented locally are either reported in advance or reported in detail afterwards.

Seeing that her father didn't speak, Liu Jin took the initiative to say: "His Royal Highness Jin Wang knelt in Jinshen Hall all night, and he should still be waiting for his order."

Zhu Biao snorted and asked, "Did you really kneel all night?"

Liu Jin lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, Zhu Biao naturally knew how much moisture he had kneeled all night. He must have slept on his stomach in the temple all night, and only woke up in the morning to kneel seriously.

But that's right, based on the temper and gender of the second child, it was Zhu Biao who punished him, even if Lao Zhu personally ordered the punishment, it would be the same, but he didn't know in his heart that such a trivial matter would not kill him.

"Let him go, let him do whatever he likes."

"Master, do you want His Royal Highness Jin Wang to go down to plow the fields? According to your instructions, there is no one else to wait on the fields. Before leaving, the Holy Majesty was still talking about tasting it after returning from the northern tour."

Zhu Biao didn't intend to answer, and Liu Jin didn't talk too much anymore, the hands in his sleeves shook slightly, and immediately behind, a young eunuch silently left the team and went to Jinshen Hall to deliver the prince's oral order.

Zhu Biao went through the Wulou from the middle left gate and went straight to the front of Wuying Hall. The smile on his face became warmer and warmer as he approached.

Empress Ma was displaced when she was young and then grew up under the fence. When talking about the good times of her childhood, most of them had Wu's parents. Zhu Biaojing loved her mother, and Aiwu and Wu naturally wanted to repay.

There are quite a few people standing in front of the Hall of Martial Heroes, except for some people in official robes, the rest are mostly old men in common clothes, some of them still need help, showing signs of aging.

But it's normal, Empress Ma already has grandchildren under her knees, not to mention the elders of the past, it is very rare for them to survive until now, after all, they have experienced the turbulent times of the dynasty.

Zhu Biao and his entourage were very powerful. After a panic in front of the Wuying Hall, they formed a team under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Biao stepped up slightly, walked in and grabbed the old man with long eyebrows in the middle and said softly: "It's the sixth uncle, please don't you come from a long way to be a junior, please don't blame me. It is really the younger generation and the queen mother who are looking forward to it."

The old man with long eyebrows wept and said: "Ah... this old man is Wu Congzhen. I have met His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness will last forever..."

The rest of the elders were also dripping with tears, and Zhu Biao's eye circles soon turned red. His eyes, which were originally as deep as a deep pool, also became slightly moist. This naturally made the atmosphere of this family reunion even more enthusiastic.

Zhu Biao kept holding Wu Congzhen's hand, and let him introduce the Wu clan members one by one. Zhu Biao showed enough respect to each of them, so that their uneasy and restrained hearts were completely relieved.

Cao Guogong Li Zhen persuaded: "The banquet is ready, let's go into the hall to express our blood relationship."

Zhu Biao wiped the corners of his eyes slightly with his sleeve and said: "What uncle said is true, please invite all relatives to come in."

Officials from the Ministry of Rites were at the side to assist the leader, and Zhu Biao ordered: "I will invite Hu Xiang, Chen Tongzheng and others to come here in a while."

The two officials respectfully promised that they were in charge of receiving these people, and they naturally knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was not closely related to them, but was a distant relative of the Empress Empress. It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince was really virtuous and filial.

After entering the hall and taking a seat, the banquet is ready. Although it is not extravagant, it has everything you need, and it looks very delicate. It is obvious that Chang Luohua has specially ordered it. The clan members were disappointed.

Uncle Li and the sixth uncle were allowed to take the lead, and Zhu Biao sat with him. What he talked about inside and outside was basically the things about Empress Ma's childhood, so Zhu Biao had the opportunity to really understand his grandfather.

The so-called son does not speak of his father's faults. Empress Ma's difficult morning is actually due to her father's angrily fighting and murdering in the village. Fearing that he would be caught, he entrusted his daughter to the Guo family in Dingyuan, and led his subsequent wives to avoid disasters in other places and died as a guest.

You must know that the Ma family was a relatively wealthy family in the village of Suzhou at that time, otherwise Empress Ma would not have the leisure time to communicate with the Wu family. You must know that it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to leave relatives.

According to the sixth uncle Gong Wu Congzhen, the ancestor of the Ma family was Ma Taibao in the Song Dynasty. He was originally from Chengwu, Shanzhou, Shandong in the Northern Song Dynasty. He served as the prefect of Huaizhou, and was promoted to the magistrate of Dengzhou. Later, he successively served as the magistrate of Caozhou, Jezhou, and Yanzhou.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, six or seven generations moved to Shihaoli. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were three brothers in the Ma family. The eldest was Ma Liang, the second was Ma Huai, and the third was Ma Rang. The most outstanding.

"When you are young, your physical strength is extraordinary, Shen Yi, reticent and smiling, serious about promises and despised life and death..."

"When you see someone doing something unrighteous, you treat him as an enemy, but if you disobey his will, you beat him wantonly. Even if you die, you are fearless. No fellow countryman dares to commit crimes."

This is the description of Zhu Biao's grandfather by the elders of the Wu family. After hearing this, Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly. His grandfather is clearly a village tyrant who runs rampant in the village. It doesn't hesitate to kill people, but the people in the same town are not afraid...

Li Zhen raised his glass beside him and said: "Emphasis on promises and despise life and death, the style of ancient chivalrous men, if in the Han Dynasty or for a party of heroes to gather righteousness from all directions, the empress and empress are the spirit of a father, women do not give up to men, Yingguo knows it well Lieutenant general admires...

Li Zhen took this opportunity to offer a toast to the elders of the Wu family. He is the brother-in-law of the emperor and empress, but he is undoubtedly a junior in front of these few. The Zhu family can't find a more suitable person. The prince was young and had no experience in the countryside. , Naturally, he has to say more.

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Zhen's face turned red, and she resisted the urge to cough. He usually likes to read, drink tea and seldom drinks alcohol, but in fact, the people of the Wu family are also like this, and they all feel uncomfortable.

Five years after the founding of the country, the land was reclaimed and cultivated. Now the south is doing well, but the north and the west are still in a state of food shortage. The imperial court strictly forbids the private use of grain to make wine. Will sell the countryside cheaply.

So the people of the Wu clan drink less of such a good wine with such a high purity. This is because Empress Ma would bring a few jars of imperial wine with her when she sent people to deliver grain and cloth during festivals. Easy.

But it is expected that it will be fine in a few years. The lands of the Nanyang countries are very suitable for farming and rich in products, but their farming methods are backward and the economy is not developed.

Now that the sea route has been opened, the Marquis of Jinghai has led the navy to a suitable place. Although the countries in Southeast Asia have tacitly rejected and guarded against it, it is just a mantis' arm.

To think that Daming would help them solve the Japanese pirates' problem, and to think of the empty-handed white wolf, using some gold, silver and jewels as a tribute in exchange for the bloody battle of Daming soldiers, is simply whimsical.

Zhu Biao shook the clear wine in his glass slightly. It would be good to build more wineries in Nanyang in the future. After drinking a glass, he got up and walked to other tables to toast.

The atmosphere is very friendly but not too enthusiastic. After all, this is the palace, and the warm young man in front of him is the crown prince. Maybe the people of the Wu family don't know how much power Zhu Biao has, but they must know that the fate of his group is in the future. Between people's thoughts.

Those who eat grass will never make friends with those who eat meat, and they can't be friends...
