First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 53
Just like what Zhu Biao said, when people's hearts are never satisfied, there will be troubles on the night of the title.

Heqing Hou Zhang Yi and Huai'an Hou Hua Yunlong Nan'an Hou Yu Tongyuan went straight to the palace after drinking, and clashed with Liu'an Hou Wangzhi, who was guarding the palace, and a fight broke out...

Zhu Biao didn't care either, it was inevitable, there were always people who were unbalanced, and these three were just the stupidest.

In the future, these honorable and secret struggles will be indispensable, and with the return of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, Huaixi honorable bosses will increase, and Li Shanchang will have to concentrate on winning people's hearts.

These are all headaches for Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Biao suggested that more titles be awarded to intensify their conflicts, and also to encourage their arrogance.

This time, there are too many people who don't match their virtues. If they don't restrain themselves, disaster will not be far away!
Zhu Biao told a few people around him about the Crown Princess. Fortunately, Yun Jin and the rest of Nuan Yu and Shuang Er were a little panicked, and Zhu Biao didn't say anything.

These are inevitable things, and Zhu Biao will naturally protect them, but he will not support Nuan Yu and them to let them contradict the princess.

Three days later, Zhu Biao received a notice, saying that at the morning court meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an imperial decree to Chang Yuchun for marriage.

Chang Yuchun has happily accepted the decree and thanked him, and went back to the mansion to prepare. Of course, this is just a pretense, and this matter has already been decided.

It stands to reason that Zhu Biao is the crown prince, and the emperor's decree for marriage has already been issued. Even if this matter is settled, the wedding will be held directly at that time.

But I didn't expect that the queen actually issued a decree to the Ministry of Rites to prepare the six rituals.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment. The ancient pre-marriage ceremony was very troublesome. Accepting, asking, asking, accepting, accepting, saying, and personally welcoming!He thought he could get away with it...

There is no way, the decree has already been issued, although Zhu Yuanzhang does not want the harem to interfere in government affairs, but when the mother arranges his son's wedding, Comrade Zhu has nothing to say.

The next day, the Minister of Rites led a group of people to the East Palace to meet the Crown Prince, and informed him that the Crown Princess's Jin Ce and Jin Bao were already preparing, and they also brought nine wild geese for him to choose, which would be delivered to the Kaiping Palace in a short while.

This is the first step, to give gifts to explore the wind, and to send the wild goose because I feel that the wild goose husband and wife are dedicated to their feelings.

In addition to the geese, there are many treasures, all of which were prepared by Queen Ma herself.

Zhu Biao picked a pair of geese that looked good, and then it was done.

The next day, during the name-questioning session, officials from the Ministry of Rites led the men from the Qintian Supervisor and the Sili Supervisor to run towards the Kaiping Palace, and several princes also joined in the fun.

On the third day, the maid next to the queen led the officials from the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to ask Zhu Biao and Chang Luohua for their birthdays. After the Qin Tianjian judged, "Good luck! The two are a match made in heaven!"

On the fourth day of the levy ceremony, according to the rules, men and women do not pay without matchmaking, and there is no money to be seen!In fact, it is the part of giving gifts to the mother-in-law. As a prince, Zhu Biao should not be stingy.

Not to mention the gifts of the mother-in-law, even the servants and maids of the Kaiping Palace have their own gifts. This is arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang and it also shows that "the grace of the emperor is great!"

On the fifth day, the two families set the date for their official marriage. So far, the prelude to the drama has been sung, and the real trouble is still on the final wedding day.

The date of the big wedding was set in September of the second year of Hongwu, and this matter has been completely set.

Zhu Biao also visited the Kaiping Palace, but unfortunately did not see Chang Luohua.

But these are trivial matters. Maybe Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his son was about to marry a wife, and he was no longer a child. After some government affairs were dealt with, he would send it to the East Palace for him to read.

Zhu Biao has really begun to understand the situation in the world. He can only say that the current Daming is full of wreckage, and some important towns are basically in ruins. The world-famous Yangzhou City has only 21 families and [-] living things left. tree.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, officials were corrupt, the Mongolian aristocracy was rotten, and the government was corrupt.In order to eliminate the deficit, the Yuan Dynasty increased taxes and printed a large number of new banknotes, "Zhizhengbao Banknotes".

Faced with the desolate situation of grief and starvation, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a policy of recuperation and recuperation. Zhu Yuanzhang replied in Li Shanchang's memorial on taxation: "The world was first set, and the people's financial resources were difficult, just like a bird that just flew and could not pull out its feathers before planting it. Just like a tree can't shake its roots, it must rest in peace."

This policy must be adopted now, and at the same time it is advocated that the wealth should be hidden for the people, in order to ensure that there are sufficient labor resources in the front line of agriculture.Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the whole country that landlords were not allowed to keep slaves and slaves, and all slaves and slaves raised were released as good people.

Those who were pawned and sold into slavery due to hunger were redeemed by the imperial court; the development of monasteries was strictly controlled, and each state prefecture was ordered to have only one large monastery, women under the age of 40 were prohibited from becoming nuns, and monasteries were strictly prohibited from adopting child monks over the age of 20. If young people want to become monks, they must obtain the consent of their parents and officials.

Within three years after becoming a monk, they have to go to Beijing to take the exam, and those who fail to pass will be sent to the people.The implementation of these policies has added a huge labor force to the society

In mid-November, Zhu Biao suddenly received a notice and immediately set off with the imperial car. Fortunately, Liu Jin moved quickly and set off immediately after preparing the necessities for going out. It was only when the convoy was adjusted outside the city that he saw Yang Xian who was accompanying him. , Liu Bowen, Lu Chang and others, the prince has Zhu Xi and Zhu Di!
No one knew the route of Zhu Yuanzhang's trip. In the next half month, Zhu Yuanzhang randomly screened cities and towns near Nanjing to check whether the policy of the imperial court had been implemented.

Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang led the princes to personally observe the livelihood of the common people. If the local officials did not act or corrupted the stolen goods, they would be taken directly. If they were seriously executed, they would usually be escorted back to Nanjing to be dealt with by the Ministry of Punishment.

At the end of the month, it was freezing cold, and Zhu Biao sat on Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon cup and drank a sip of hot tea.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still reviewing the memorials, and he was very busy from morning to night.

Zhu Biao also picked up the memorial that Zhu Yuanzhang had already reviewed, and suddenly Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Biao'er, have you read the memorial on the prefect of Yangzhou?"

Zhu Biao recalled, it was yesterday: "When I return to the father, the son remembers that the prefect of Yangzhou asked the court for money, food and people, saying that Yangzhou could not survive this winter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also put down the memorial and took a sip of tea: "Yangzhou! When we were young, we always heard people say how prosperous and rich Yangzhou was, and when we were begging for food, we still wanted to go to Yangzhou to ask for it!"

Zhu Biao laughed when he heard the words: "Can you get burnt ** at that time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a memorial and slapped it on top of Zhu Biao's head, then sighed: "What is said in the memorial is too miserable, we have to go see it with our own eyes, there are only a dozen or so families left in Yangzhou, the University of Connaught?"

Zhu Biao straightened his face and said: "Father Emperor, since ancient times, the founding monarchs have obtained the same after sweeping away the troubled times. The people are few and the fields are desolate. Since the rise of the army, the people have died or migrated to other counties, and they cannot return to their hometowns. , the career is exhausted!"
