First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows twitched slightly, he was so courageous, he never thought that Hu Weiyong would secretly bury someone next to his second child, there is no need to say what the plot is.

Zhu Biao nodded slightly: "Since you know who it is, and you don't tell your father and brother, what is your plan, just wait for the weather to change, and reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

"Second brother definitely didn't mean that!" Zhu Bing hurriedly explained for him, this is no other than that, it is really fatal, no matter how much the father loves his son, he will not tolerate betrayal.

"Countermeasures are very useful. Now that you know what's going on, a mere woman, why can't you deal with it? Hu Weiyong will definitely shoot himself in the foot in the end. Second brother, is that what you plan to do, right? .”

After speaking hoarsely and hurriedly, Zhu Xi couldn't help covering his throat and coughing uncomfortablely. After all, the second child is also his brother. Although he is not too harmonious and not too fond of him, he never wants him to be really serious. what happened.

What's more, it's not just about the second child alone. Although they usually fear the eldest brother, they are not afraid in their hearts. They just know that as long as the father is around, there will never be any death or life.

But my father has always been a person who either does nothing or does nothing. If he doesn't kill his heirs, he won't kill him. But once he starts, he doesn't care about killing a few more to ensure the stability of the country.

And if the second child is gone, he will be promoted to the front and become the second son of the emperor, which is not a good thing. He is very satisfied with his current position and does not want any changes.

Zhu Yu didn't say a word, as if he wanted to see what you would do to me. Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows began to jump wildly again, his lips were unconsciously pressed together hard, and the short beard on his jaw seemed to be shaking slightly. flutter.

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand slightly to stop Zhu Bian who was about to speak: "It's okay, second child, I didn't hit you for this today, why are you unwilling and careful, I'm waiting for you, brother, left and right Just beat you a few more times."

"It's just that you have to remember that I don't care about some things. If you are young and ignorant, thinking about brotherhood, I will never really do anything to you. But there are some things that I will never tolerate you, even if the emperor is here So, I say the same thing.”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't make a sound, looked at his second son lying on the bed, heaved a long sigh, turned around and left, as the saying goes, it is inevitable for a man to have an unvirtuous wife and a son who is not filial, but he takes the world to return his wife to a virtuous son, maybe God You can't even see it, so send such a curse to him.

After Lao Zhu left, Zhu Xi, who had been silent for a long time, finally said, "I don't agree."

Zhu Bing was very happy when he heard the words, pointed at him and couldn't say a word, it was normal to be dissatisfied when he was a child, and he also felt resentful when he was a child, but if he still does not accept it now, then his brain is broken.

"If you are going to die, don't implicate the concubine mother!"

When Zhu Biao left, Zhu Biao sat on the chair tiredly: "What can you do? That is, regardless of the eldest son, you and I have competed fairly in front of the emperor and the officials since we were young, and you can beat me Is he the crown prince?"

"If you are really talented, even if the emperor insists on making me his heir, as the second son of the emperor and the elder of the kings, you should not be able to gather even a little confidant at your age at this age."

"You're not that material. Even without me, it's not your turn in this world. The chances of the third and fourth are much greater than yours. The most important thing about a person is self-knowledge, and the most important thing is to keep one's duty."

There was silence in the hall, Zhu Biao got up and left after a while, he still wanted to say something before leaving, but he still didn't say it out, if people can really persuade them, how can there be so much injustice in the world.

In Zhongshu Province, Hu Weiyong asked with a look of surprise: "His Highness really did it himself?"

"It's spread all over the place. All government offices should be talking about this right now." Tu Jie laughed: "It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is really angry. I heard that if the Holy Majesty and the Empress hadn't personally stopped me, I don't know how to fight him." What is it like?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already walked out of the city to Fengyang, and the King of Jin has not yet moved, so he must really be unable to get out of bed, otherwise the Holy Majesty will not tolerate it."

Hu Weiyong shook his head and laughed: "It's not surprising that the Holy Majesty did it himself, but His Highness did it, it's really unexpected, haha, it's interesting and interesting, let's just say it."

Zhongshu Youcheng Chen Liang happened to enter with a jug of wine at this time: "I know Xiangye wants to drink at this time."

"He who knows me is a gentleman." Hu Weiyong let Chen Liang take a seat. Since the lifting of the alcohol ban, the price of alcohol in Beijing has been very low. Officials in the six departments of the central government can also drink a few sips of wine to relieve fatigue in their spare time.

You just need to avoid the censors and others, but there are also rumors that the prince is very displeased with this, and maybe there will be a ban issued in the near future, so let's enjoy these days when you can.

Chen Ning, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, raised his glass and signaled to everyone to finish the drink, and then said: "Everyone has seen the determination of the Holy Majesty and His Highness, I am afraid that I have been busy waiting for this game again."

"A mountain is formed by accumulating soil, wind and rain are born, abyss is formed by accumulating water, dragons are born, virtue is accumulated by goodness, and gods are self-satisfied, and the holy heart is prepared. Therefore, if you do not accumulate small steps, you will not be able to reach thousands of miles. If you do not accumulate small streams, you will not be able to form rivers and seas...

Earthworms have no sharp claws and teeth, but strong bones and muscles. They eat mud on the top and drink the springs on the bottom.

Hu Weiyong read a passage of Xunzi's "Encouraging Learning" with great interest, and the rest of them held their wine glasses and thought about it, so they dispersed without saying anything.

It's just that I unconsciously read the following sentence in my heart, "The crab has six knees and two claws. It is not the cave of the snake and eel, and there is no one to trust. It is also impetuous."

With the example of the emperor's relatives and even the prince and prince, Daming thoroughly understood from top to bottom that there is absolutely no room for relaxation in this matter, at least it seems that there is no such thing at present.

In this way, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries stopped, and the development of industry and commerce without the strong intervention of external forces also turned from chaos to stability. The imperial court began to vigorously supervise the tax system to fill the treasury and maintain the stability of the issuance and promotion of banknotes.

With the change of supply and demand, the value of economic crops has increased, and many bold people have begun to grow cotton, sugar cane and other crops on a large scale, especially the people in Jiangnan, Guangdong and Guangxi.

In this regard, the imperial court could only force the people to plant half an acre of mulberry, cotton, and hemp for those with five to ten mu of land, and double the planting for those with more than ten mu of land. By analogy, the scale production of rations was guaranteed.

At the same time, the crops planted in Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui and other prefectures were adjusted and controlled to prevent natural and man-made disasters from causing the court to fall into a situation where there was no food to allocate.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty pacified the Quartet. Except for the northern border, which had to be more careful, the rest of the frontier army could devote all their efforts to the large-scale land reclamation army, at least to ensure a certain degree of self-sufficiency and reduce the supply pressure of the imperial court.

Zhu Biao also began to regulate and restrict the gradually formed business gangs to a certain extent, and forced them to stabilize food prices, not to hoard them, and suppressed their profit-seeking greed with power.

Some things can be left to them to make a profit, but like grain, rice, oil and salt, they must not fluctuate too much. This is the basis of order, and it is up to them whether they want it or not.

If you really don't want to, if you really don't want to cooperate, then kill and eat meat and replace them. At this time, there is no room for merchants to speak.

...

This is another year. In the seventh year of Hongwu, a large-scale rebellion broke out in Yunnan and Guizhou. Not only the Tusi of Guizhou, the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan and the Dali family participated, but also the secret intervention of various countries in Southeast Asia.

Zhu Biao looked at the military news sent by Mu Ying and told Quan Xu, "Let the Ministry of Rites send people to go to those vassal states for a while, and see that dancing joy, and destroy the country in the future."

Quan Xu bowed his promise, Zhu Biao stood up and said to Old Zhu who was looking at the topographical map of Yunnan and Guizhou: "Father, Ming Sheng has already submitted the request for the war memorial, why don't you allow him to send troops to help Brother Mu Ying suppress the rebellion."

"No." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Yang Siyi immigrated to Guizhou to change his species. Now there are many Yunnan and Guizhou people who have been forcibly relocated in Sichuan. They must have resentment in their hearts, and they cannot be given this opportunity."
