King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 48 How to deal with the tenth brother?

Zhu Biao stood aside.

Seeing that Zhao Shangshu, who had no psychological pressure at all, was scolded bloody and even had to plead guilty.

I sighed in my heart.

I learned it, but I can’t do it!

Talk about it.

Zhu Biao's imperial scheming and ruthlessness are not much worse than Lao Zhu's.

In recent years, in the Hongwu Dynasty, whether it was the Kongyin case or the Hu Weiyong case, it was Lao Zhu who shouted for beating and killing, but it was the prince who actually carried out the execution.

They were tortured severely, their homes were confiscated, their homes were confiscated, their heads were beheaded, and their skins and grass were removed.
  Zhu Biao has been in politics for many years and has long been accustomed to strange things.

Therefore, Zhu Biaozhen was never soft-hearted when handling things.

But Zhu Biao may have been more influenced by Queen Ma in terms of character.

His temperament is much gentler than that of Lao Zhu.

Maybe he wouldn't hesitate to let him kill someone.

But it is very difficult for Zhu Biao to make him unreasonable.

Now, isn't it just that Father is using strong words to make excuses?
  After Zhu Yuanzhang finished venting, he glared at Zhao Hao and asked, "What brings you to me?"

Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Back to Your Majesty! This year is the year of the imperial examination! The general examination and the palace examination are about to begin! The examiner has not been decided yet. I am here today to remind Your Majesty of this matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

"Go back and do some research! Make a list! Let's choose from it! Go back and run errands! Also, many of our princes are still in school! You go back and choose the princes' masters carefully! If If you teach someone like King Lu again, I will skin you!"

Zhao Hao secretly complained in his heart.

Can this be taught by just teaching?
  You, Zhu Yuanzhang, rose from a beggar to an emperor. Who taught you this?
  Nature, it’s all nature!

You gave birth to so many sons, and each one of them was so arrogant and doted on!

In addition, he was born a prince, extremely wealthy, and extremely powerful in the local area. How could everyone be virtuous?

Are you too confident in your own seed?
  but.

Zhao Hao only dared to complain about this kind of thing in his heart.

Seeing His Majesty let him go.

Zhao Mao was granted amnesty and left in a hurry.

Palace entrance.

Zhao Mao looked around.

A young eunuch had already come over.

"Master Zhao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Hao asked: "Are there any other adults coming to see your Majesty today?"

The little eunuch shook his head blankly and said: "Not yet."

Zhao Hao was a little disappointed.

"Not one? Especially Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Li from the Ministry of Personnel, and Mr. Wang from the Ministry of Punishment. None of them are here?"

The little eunuch felt puzzled.

Generally speaking.

Ministers will not easily enter the palace to meet the saint.

Isn’t it enough to talk to His Majesty every morning?

Who wants to come to the palace to work overtime after the morning court?
  What's more.

Mr. Zhao is the Minister of Rites, why is he so concerned about the affairs of other ministries?

The young eunuch laughed dryly and said, "Sir, it is true that no other master came to see you!"

Zhao Hao sighed.

I'm really disappointed not to see these guys suffer.
  suddenly.

not far away.

Xu Ben, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, came towards me.

Zhao Hao's eyes lit up.

Busy say hello.

"Master Xu! Are you here to meet the saint?"

Xu Ben was stunned and said with a smile: "Yes! Fengyang Mansion is going to build a city wall! The draft has been sent to the Ministry of Industry, and I want to hear your Majesty's opinion!"

Zhao Hao nodded and said: "The construction of Zhongdu is a big deal! But can we get so much money to build the city wall now?"

Xu Ben smiled bitterly.

"Originally, we couldn't get it out! You probably have heard about the situation in Zhongdu!"

Zhao Hao nodded.

Fengyang, the central capital, is actually Zhu Yuanzhang’s hometown.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally planned to move the capital to Fengyang, so after he ordered Li Shanchang to become an official, he has been building the central capital in Fengyang.

This construction took several years.

The cost was huge. After all, Fengyang, the central capital, was built according to the standards of a capital city.

The planned scale of the palace is larger than the current Nanjing Forbidden City.

During this period, there was another "suppression incident" of craftsmen during the construction of the palace. Because the craftsmen were overwhelmed, they secretly cursed the court and the emperor with puppets, paper figures and other props.

In addition, the cost is too huge.

Out of necessity.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of Fengyang Mansion to be suspended.

However, the projects that have already started are still being built.

As for the construction of the new capital city, they are just hanging on half-deadly.

did not expect.

Fengyang actually wants to build another section of the city wall.

When he thought that Zhongdu was a project supervised by His Majesty himself, Xu Ben did not dare to delay and hurriedly brought the official document to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for his opinion.

Zhao Hao was secretly happy.

Finally, I don't have to suffer this alone.

Xu Ben smiled and said to Zhao Hao: "In the past, the imperial court had no money, so the repairs had to be suspended! Now, I heard that Prince Lu had seized tens of millions of taels of silver! I guess Fengyang Mansion also heard the news. That’s why I came to His Majesty in a hurry to ask for money! Haha”

Zhao Hao nodded and said to the young eunuch: "Why don't you go and report to your Majesty! Mr. Xu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, wants to see you!"

The little eunuch was a little dazed and looked at Xu Ben.

Xu Ben smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, you are so polite! I need you to help me with such a trivial matter. Haha!"

talking.

He said to the little eunuch: "Go quickly!"

The little eunuch nodded and said, "Master Xu, wait a moment!"

With that said, he ran away in a hurry.

Zhao Hao said with a smile: "Master Xu, don't be polite! Then you wait here! I'll take the first step!"

Xu Ben smiled and said, "Master Zhao, walk slowly!"

Zhao Hao nodded and left slowly.

From time to time, he turned to look at Xu Ben, fearing that he would not go in.

Xu Ben was confused.

Why is Mr. Zhao so nostalgic for me today?

The one who looks back three times in one step?
  at last.

The little eunuch ran back.

He said to Mr. Xu: "Your Majesty bids you an audience!"

Xu Ben nodded.

at this time.

Zhao Hao was already fifty meters away and was still looking at him.

Xu Ben waved, indicating that he was going in.

Zhao Hao had a smile on his face.

Finally, I got scolded again!
  comfortable.

Xu Ben looked at the smile on Zhao Hao's face, feeling a little baffled.

soon.

Enter the temple.

I heard Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice as if he was complaining about a woman.

"Xu Ben, do you know your guilt?"

After being scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Only then did Xu Ben know what Zhao Hao was thinking!

What a bastard!
  He was clearly worried that he would not be scolded by His Majesty!
  I feel relieved when I see myself entering the palace!
  What does King Lu’s concealment of the seizure have to do with Shandong’s weak coastal defenses?
  Say.

Can the Ministry of Industry be blamed for the weak facilities of Shandong's coastal defense?

If you give ten million taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry will promise to make the defense of the Six Thousand Miles of Sea impregnable!

Last year, Shandong Haiphong allocated only 2 taels of silver!

Enough for what?

Blame me now
  Is it any wonder?
  Wronged!

Your Majesty is too unreasonable!

Xu Ben was scolded and sent away.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said to Zhu Biao: "These idiots! Each of them is more careless than the other! And they even arrived today to scold them!"

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and couldn't help but ask: "Father, what should we do with those ten brothers?"

　Zhao Mao, the Minister of Rites at that time, was not very responsible, so he changed it. Stop saying that Lao Zhu has a bad temper. From the 16th year of Hongwu to the 18th year of Hongwu, look at how many ministers he executed and deposed! The author was confused!
  　　There is a three-day holiday for New Year's Day, so the author will add three more days to celebrate the holiday with everyone!
  　　Of course, we also want to pay tribute to the students who don’t have a holiday on New Year’s Day!
  　　Finally, please support me
