First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 296
There was silence in the hall for a while, and Zhu Biao was not going to discuss this topic any further. This kind of thing mainly depends on the tacit understanding between father and son. Zhu Yuanzhang has to show cruelty, and Zhu Biao has to show kindness. The priority should still be to clear up the administration of officials, and the primary and secondary should not be confused.

Zhu Biao talked about Dali Temple Minister Yan Donglai preparing to impeach the Ministry of Punishment. This is the official signal for war. Dali Temple will be used as a sharp knife to wipe out the six departments from the Ministry of Punishment and go straight to the Ministry of Education.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Yan Donglai has big ambitions, but fortunately, it's not about money and fame. That's why we chose him as Dali Temple Minister, but I didn't expect him to be so good at Taoism."

Sharp knives are not so easy to make. Yan Donglai will be completely abandoned by the civil official group in the future, and the Xungui group will not accept him.

Don't think that the emperor will definitely treat those who have meritorious deeds well. The reality is never fair, and it is very common to pay but not get anything in return.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang thinks highly of Yan Donglai. It is rare to accept the reality so quickly, although he actually has no choice at all. Since the emperor put him in that position, he will be disloyal if he does not do it, and the only way to disloyalty is to die !

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "It's really good, I hope it can go to the end, so what if it can be a good blade to give him what he wants, the court always needs someone to do things."

After the conversation was over, Lao Zhu had to go back to the harem to rest and waved to his son: "Go and see your wife."

Zhu Biao bowed and retreated, and just a few steps away, he met the three brothers of the Zhu family. After the three of them came back from Fengyang, Lao Zhu also felt that they had grown up, so besides reading books for two hours every day, It is also in a stocking state.

But they can't go out of the palace during the stocking period, and they are also old, and there are some taboos in the palace, so it's not easy to walk around casually. Except for the two days when they just came back, they are quite boring, and now they are almost bored to death. Forget it, but after all, after going out for a trip, the heart is also wild, and naturally he is not willing to be trapped in the deep palace compound.

The well-behaved elder brother of the three brothers saluted, and Zhu Biao had already guessed that they couldn't be idle anymore, but he still put on a face and said, "I'm going to see my father, I'm inside, and I'm in a good mood."

King Zhu of Jin said with a smile on his face, "Brother, my younger brothers have come to see you specially."

Zhu Biao passed them and walked towards the East Palace, and the three brothers followed quickly. Seeing that the elder brother seemed to be in a good mood, the third Zhu Biao said: "I see that the elder brother is very busy recently, and it is not appropriate for the younger brothers to be lazy. As the saying goes, fighting a tiger You still have to be a brother, if you have any errands, you can leave it to us."

Zhu Di also went on to say: "I heard that my father wants to clean up the government and thoroughly investigate the corruption of local officials. We can go to this matter. My second brother and I have inspected local granaries. It is better than those Beijing officials. They are all All the way."

The third child glared at Zhu Di and then grabbed Zhu Biao's sleeve: "Brother, we really want to help with something, and what the fourth child said is right, those people went down to accept bribes, and in the end they must be in the same boat. It depends on us, the Zhu family, to clean up the bureaucracy."

Zhu Biao stopped and patted Zhu Biao's hand, then turned around and looked at Zhu Biao. This kid has the thickest skin, and he is still laughing with him, but he still has a handsome face and Gu Yu's prestige, coupled with a natural nobility. , is really disgusting.

But this matter is not for them, Zhu Biao said in a deep voice: "The officials who go down to inspect dare to take bribes, take bribes, ransack their families and destroy their families. If you are greedy, let your father deal with it. If you are too serious, your father will not bear it. What will you do if you are less serious?" Clean up the bureaucracy?"

Zhu Xi is now a young man who is quite heroic, and immediately said dissatisfied: "Brother looks down on people too much, how can we accept bribes from the people below."

Zhu Di also said: "It's not like no one bribed us when we inspected the granary, and they were reprimanded by me and my second brother."

Zhu Biaobai turned around and left after seeing them. They confiscated bribes from others, but there was no shortage of money when they ransacked the house. These stinky brothers didn't have any good things.

It's not that Zhu Biao hadn't thought about it before, but the risk was too great. The three of them were of noble birth and young age, so it's not surprising that they were coaxed around. But it's over.

They may be able to resist gold, silver and jewelry, after all, they are nobles, but they are all half-children. It is the time when they are most curious about that matter, where they can resist the specially trained skinny horses, and in the end He doesn't have to wipe his ass.

Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to family affection, and no matter how cruel he was, he would never kill his son. The matter of purging officials was stuck, and the momentum of going forward was gone, and the officials would not be convinced.

The three brothers still insisted on following their elder brother's ass, expressing their determination. At this time, they really believed that they could stand the temptation and contribute to the country. Zhu Biao also believed in their wishes, but unfortunately they couldn't.

After a while, she arrived at the East Palace, and Chang Luohua also received a letter saying that the crown prince brought the three princes over, so she naturally had to tidy up and lead them out in person.

Chang Luohua greeted her in front of the door, and when she saw their brothers coming over and curtseying, Zhu Biao stepped forward to support her, and the three brothers also stepped forward obediently and bowed to salute: "I have seen the emperor's wife."

Chang Luohua took her husband's hand and said with a smile: "The three princes are exempt."

The third child was the first to stand up and said: "Sister-in-law Huang can just call me third, don't be so polite, I heard that I will soon become an uncle, and I haven't personally congratulated the wife of the emperor, I wish the wife of the emperor to give birth to a grandson as soon as possible, so I can teach him Archery on horseback."

The other two silently stared at the third child, you said all the good things, doesn't that make us two very naive?

But they also congratulated seriously, and Chang Luohua was also very happy. He also knew that his husband had a good relationship with these three younger brothers, so he also acted quite close.

But in the end, it’s not good to talk too much with the uncles. After inviting them into the house, Chang Luohua went down to arrange food and drinks. Zhu Biao was full, but the three boys kept guarding outside in order to squat him. No time for dinner.

Zhu Biao, the elder brother, couldn't kick the hungry younger brothers away, so he had to accompany them to eat a little more, but the three brothers also saw that their elder brother was determined, and they definitely wouldn't let them go out to inspect the place .

However, they also had a hunch that this was just a foreshadowing. Even if the eldest brother refused once, he would never refuse the well-behaved younger brothers a second time.

Zhu Po poured a glass of wine for his eldest brother and said: "Since the elder brother disagrees, then the younger brothers will listen to the elder brother. If we can't do errands, then can we go out of the palace to live? We are all so old, and it is too late to live in the palace." I'm aggrieved.
