First Prince of Ming Dynasty

As soon as Zhu Biao's words came out, Lao Zhu understood by heart, no wife and no children means no care and restraint, which is inappropriate, especially for a person like Ming Sheng who has a special status and has to serve as a feudal border.

"The eldest girl and the second girl have already ordered, are you willing to part with your third sister?"

The third child is Zhu Biao's direct sister, but if it is Mingsheng, it is not impossible. Zhu Biao really appreciates him. If he is really a man without virtue and talent, even if his status is suitable, Zhu Biao cannot be appointed to Fengjiang top priority.

But the problem is not here. Zhu Biao's oldest sister is Princess Lin'an, who is only twelve or thirteen years old. too big.

But at Mingsheng's age, it would be impossible to make him wait for nearly ten years, and it would lose the meaning of giving marriage. Although the symbolic meaning of marriage is greater than the actual meaning, it can't make people wait until they are nearly 30 years old to get married .

"The younger sisters are naturally not suitable, and Mingsheng is also honorable. Why don't you choose someone from Wu Xun's family to give you a marriage? After all, it should be more decent."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, this was a bit difficult to handle, except for the most prominent few who dare not marry without authorization, most of the rest had already been settled.

Thinking about it, Tang He had a daughter who was ready to marry, but how could it be possible for Tang He to lead the Confederate Army to let the commander of the first army marry a local feudal official? It was not a matter of trust or not, or it was simply inappropriate.

"Since you said it, you must have an idea. Someone's daughter, tell me."

"I just heard from Luo Hua yesterday that the second sister in the family has passed her cardamom age, but because Chang Mao's marriage date is not yet fixed, there has been no time to discuss marriage."

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows tightened: "Biao'er, the Chang family's kindness is a bit too heavy. We know that your husband and wife are harmonious, and Yuchun and Changmao are also trustworthy, but you have to understand the truth that too much is too much."

Zhu Biao bowed slightly and said: "My son understands, but there are no younger sisters who are of the right age. If you want to show a trusted attitude, you have to have a relationship with your son. If you can't be a relative, you can only be a wife and sister. "

"Isn't that girl from the Lan family?"

"The one from the concubine is not the concubine's daughter of the palace, so the minister said it was just right."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. The concubine's words were okay, and En Yu did not appear to be too exaggerated. You must know that Ming Sheng's sudden rise to a high position for no reason will definitely cause shocks in the government and the public. A proper lowering is not necessarily a bad thing.

Moreover, Sichuan Wufu is rich and the land is dangerous and isolated. As a feudal official here, he is undoubtedly less restricted by the central government than in other regions.

Liu Bowen could sit in such a position, no matter how much the emperor didn't like it, he was also the founding official of the Ming Dynasty, one of the most respected marquises, the leader of the eastern Zhejiang line of the imperial court, and his disciples and former officials were all over the state.

It is not easy for Mingsheng to sit down. It is not a secret that Liu Bowen is in poor health and submits his resignation to beg for bones.

All the factions are also competing. It is not a joke to have an extra powerful official on my side. The members of the entire faction can stand upright when they speak in the court.

If Ming Sheng is not properly arranged, if he is directly appointed like this, he will not be able to hold real power when he arrives in Sichuan.

At that time, Mingsheng's status as the former owner of Shu Land not only could not help him, but it would also become a reason for others to restrict him. The court also paid attention to human feelings and sophistication, without foundation, support, disciples and old officials, he could make it by himself alone. What's up?

What is real power? One word is followed by everyone, but there is no real power. Once one word is spoken, everyone is silent.

It doesn't mean that whoever Zhu Biao promotes to be a first-rank official is really a first-rank official, and he can control the government with great dignity. Rank is just a rank, and it doesn't necessarily mean actual power.

Just like Wang Guangyang in the past, so what if the emperor hand-picked him as the prime minister?

Without the support of Huaixi nobles, and without the help of capable disciples and old officials under his command, he was easily overthrown by Hu Weiyong, and was demoted out of Beijing in despair.

Zhu Biao didn't want Mingsheng to be a face-saving person, and he didn't want him to come back to the capital in disgrace, but for no reason, how could he be accepted by Donggong's subordinates like this.

Officials are not clay sculptures and wood sculptures. They have their own ideas. The monarch can kill them, but it is impossible to destroy their humanity. Loyalty always has a certain limit.

With such a big piece of fat, isn't there anyone in the East Palace who is greedy?

I have been diligent and loyal, but I thought it was something in my pocket but was cut off by someone. Would I still accept it gladly?

Zhu Biao asked himself, there are such people under his command, but the number is absolutely pitiful, and most of them are not of high grade...

Therefore, we not only need to set up other places to appease and compensate them, but also give them a step to understand. Marriage is the simplest, most direct and most effective political declaration. Giving marriage to Mingsheng to his wife and sister, the daughter of the Kaiping Palace, everyone I also understand.

Only in this way can Mingsheng be accepted by the Huaixi department and get close support from the party members of the Eastern Palace. Only then can he really hope to secure his position in Sichuan Pingzhang's political affairs.

Both father and son knew what this meant. Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment and said, "I hope this kid won't disappoint you."

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "What my son really wants to accomplish, it doesn't really matter what he does. A big living person has paved a smooth road, and he can't even move forward."

Since the intention is for all countries, then such a person, a political benchmark, must exist. Mingsheng is only the most suitable status and the best success. If he fails, Zhu Biao will continue with another person until the success is achieved.

"Then let's settle it early."

"After entrusting my mother, please ask Ming Sheng's mother, Mrs. Peng, to come into the palace to discuss it. The ministers from the Chang family have asked Luo Hua to ask his mother-in-law to inform him. After two days, he will ask his father to issue a decree to marry him."

"Um."

………………

Mingsheng jumped out of the carriage outside Guiyihou's mansion, and walked into his home with a slightly erratic figure, as if a flame was burning in his heart, and he wanted to vent, but there was no one to complain.

Empress Dowager Peng sat in the hall and waited, the handkerchief in her hand was about to be rubbed off. It was a good thing for her son to be called into the palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it might also be a bad thing, who knows for sure.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad. She was originally the mother of a country who listened to the government behind the curtain, and her son was once a lonely king. Now that the country is broken here, it may not end well sooner or later. to see my husband.

"Ma'am, Master Hou is back."

Mrs. Peng wiped the corners of her eyes in a hurry, then stood up and went out to meet her. Seeing her son walking staggeringly with his face flushed, his heart sank suddenly, but there was a sense of relief like relief.

The day finally came.

From a distance, Ming Sheng saw his mother hastened to step forward and said: "Mother, why are you out, there is wind outside, come in quickly, my son happens to have something to tell you."

Mrs. Peng took her son's hand and shook it tightly: "Okay, mother is here for everything."

The mother and son entered the house hand in hand, and after waiting for the mother to sit down and serve tea, Ming Sheng waved away the servants who served around him. As a marquis, he was still able to retain some old servants who used to serve in the palace.

"Mother, His Highness the Crown Prince summoned me because he intends to use and promote me as a foreigner, and you may not be able to guess the place, mother."

Mrs. Peng was very surprised and didn't get over it for a while, but the ants are still alive, so it's best not to die: "This...the crown prince benevolence...no matter where you are, Sheng'er, you must do your best to be on duty, don't let the emperor down. kindness."

"Mother! It's in the middle of Shu, and your highness belongs to the minister to succeed Cheng Yihou as Sichuan Pingzhang's political affairs!"

Frightened, Peng stood up and hurriedly said: "Sheng'er, you are confused! How dare you agree to this, you should just refuse in every possible way, this...you go and beg His Highness to take back your life!"

From ancient times to the present, people like them are very lucky to be able to survive and survive. There is no talk of returning to the old place to take power. It is clearly a test of their mother and son's ambition to restore the country.
