Chapter 421 Long-sleeved and good at dancing
Hubu Shangshu naturally felt the disgusting gaze behind him, and his face showed a resolute look. When the money was in the treasury, even if the official was killed, he would not even think about taking it away.
The household department must keep at least 50,000 taels, no! I want to keep 100,000 taels, or you will kill me on the spot, or let me move and transfer to another department, or else don't even think about it!
Hu Weiyong responded with a sigh and said: "Your Highness, the money came at the right time, and it solved the urgent need."
Zhu Biao said in a deep voice: "It's just an emergency. The autumn harvest is just around the corner. The Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China should discuss the current expenses carefully. Pay equal attention to increasing income and reducing expenditure. We can't always hope that there will be pie in the sky."
"Your Majesty's teachings must be kept in mind."
Zhu Biao nodded and got into the prince's car surrounded by everyone. Hu Weiyong naturally sat up as the prime minister, and Ying Guogong Fu Youde who stood silently aside just now, and the rest got into their own cars.
Zhu Biao said a few words to Fu Youde with a smile. Even Zhu Biao, the general of the town, would not be disrespectful.
With Hu Weiyong, a long-sleeved and good at dancing prime minister, rounding out the scene, the atmosphere was very good. After asking a few more questions about Fu Zhong, Zhu Biao stopped embarrassing him.
Turning to Hu Weiyong, he said: "There is still a big gap in the bottom officials in Shaanxi and Gansu. Hu Xiang still needs to transfer a group of suitable officials to help the people relieve the disaster."
Hu Weiyong stroked his black beard and replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the minister will definitely make arrangements, and there is simply another group of new Jinshi, which can just fill the vacancy."
Zhu Biao's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "I've forgotten about this, but I have been away from Beijing for too long. The chief examiner of Jinshi in this department is Hu Xiang?"
Hu Weiyong put down his hands and replied respectfully: "It's the humble minister, who has been honored by the great kindness of the Holy One. It is really a glory for the ancestors to have such a great fortune to recruit scholars for the country."
Zhu Biao laughed and said, "Mr. Hu is too modest..."
Following the conversation between Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong, the car passed through the city gate and drove straight to the palace. Even though the pedestrians on the main road were driven to the sides, Zhu Biao could still feel the prosperity and excitement of the capital and it was still alive exuberant.
This is not available in the city of Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture. At the gate of the palace, Hu Weiyong, Fu Youde and others got off the car, and the rest of the people also bid farewell to Zhu Biao. They still have official business to deal with.
Zhu Biao smiled and invited everyone to drink at Jixian Tower tomorrow night, and everyone naturally responded with a smile. It is rare for His Highness to have a private banquet, and no one wants to miss it. Besides, there are so many people invited, so there is no need to worry about any taboos.
Zhu Biao turned around and entered the palace. Instead of taking a chauffeur, he really wanted to walk away. Before he took two steps, he saw Liu Jin running up to kneel down quickly, and called out to him with red eyes.
Zhu Biao was also happy to see Liu Jin, walked up to his head, raised his leg and put his knee on his shoulder and said, "Get up, it's only been a few months."
After saying that, he continued to walk inward. Liu Jin wiped away his tears with his sleeve and bowed to follow Zhu Biao with a joyful expression on his face. Only then did he feel that his life was meaningful.
"Everything in the palace is peaceful."
"Taiping, the holy dragon is in good health. The empress has a slight cough when autumn comes, but it will be fine after taking the medicine of the imperial doctor. The crown princess clears the pulse three times a day, and it is good to eat and use."
It's just that it doesn't have much to do with it. After all, as long as their family is healthy, Zhu Biao is confident that everything else can be resolved. Zhu Biao asked, "Did you disclose the fact that the Crown Princess is pregnant with twins?"
Liu Jin nodded and said: "The Empress immediately issued a ban, and only Princess Kaiping outside the palace should know about it."
Should, that is to say, basically everyone knows it. Unless the news in the palace is ruthless immediately, it will be extremely difficult to hide it, but it is not a big deal after all.
Zhu Biao wanted to visit Chang Luohua, but that was not in accordance with the rules. It was an ordinary family. A man had to pay homage to his parents when he returned home. There was a saying that he did not meet his wife and children first. .
Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin who was on the side: "Is the princess still walking and exercising every day? Didn't she pamper her because of those women's words?
Liu Jin replied: "Prince Princess has always remembered the words of the master, and walks in the yard every day, and the servants are also carefully serving them."
Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction. It's not that the women don't know that women are in good health and can give birth smoothly. They are worried that if they say so, it will be their fault if the princess slips when walking. It's better to be safe.
Anyway, if the baby is not born at that time, it is also the fault of the Crown Princess. Without that blessing, no family would lack such a woman.
Liu Jin suddenly remembered something and said: "The servants and maidservants have also done what the master wrote in the letter, and specially sent someone from Weizhou Mansion to invite them to the palace."
Zhu Biao felt relieved when he heard the words. Ever since he knew that Chang Luohua was pregnant with twins, Zhu Biao was worried that she would have a difficult delivery. Leaving aside the children, he would also feel uncomfortable if his first wife died like this.
It suddenly occurred to me that when I visited the coast last time, I heard that there is a kind of small hand midwife in the south. Her hands are as small as a baby.
So he immediately wrote a letter asking Liu Jin to send someone to look for him. Before he left, he left Liu Jin the token of the East Palace. When necessary, he could mobilize a lot of his power, so it would not be difficult to send someone south to find his wife.
Liu Jin also made a gesture to Zhu Biao about the size of the midwife's palm. It was indeed different from ordinary people. I don't know if it was born like this or it was specially developed the day after tomorrow. Zhu Biao didn't know it and didn't care. Better than not being prepared.
While speaking, they arrived at the Jinshen Hall, and the eunuchs and maids at the door all knelt down to say hello: "Slaves wait to welcome His Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace."
Zhu Biao waved his hand with a smile, and then stepped into the hall. Lao Zhu had already put down his pen and sat on a chair with a smile, waiting for his son to come in.
The father and son looked at each other, and found that the other party had lost a lot of weight. Zhu Biao happily knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "My son is back."
"Hahaha" Zhu Yuanzhang got up and walked forward to pull up his son, looked at his son who was about to surpass him and smiled, "I called you back a long time ago, why did you wait so long?"
"The important officials in Shaanxi and Gansu were wiped out. Guo Chong, Zhang Fan and others were not qualified enough, and the sons and ministers didn't stay long. I'm afraid there will be troubles again. The common people are innocent."
Zhu Yuanzhang took his son to the side and sat down: "It's right to think so. Only when the people's livelihood is stable can the country be peaceful. Didn't you leave them 200,000 taels, and wait for the government to give grain to the people in the spring of next year so that the people can resume farming. .”
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Father is really well-informed, so do you know how much money my son brought back?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard the words: "Didn't it just go to the household department for 200,000 taels, is it possible that there are still more?"
