Chapter 635 Gentle
But I guess that’s the case. After all, Zhu Biao is still in the capital. Someone will come to report to Zhu Biao if he does something wrong. Although he is the prime minister, his autonomy is not as great as imagined, even slightly inferior It is more like an ordinary feudal official.
Like Liu Bowen who is far away in the southwest, although with the character of Lao Zhu, he must have dispatched the pro-military captain's mansion to watch, but as long as Liu Bowen's actions do not touch the bottom line of military power, no one will dare to pierce this layer of window paper. No one will study the right and wrong of the implementation of government affairs, and the autonomy is great.
Of course, with Liu Bowen's prudence, he has never acted out of line. Many government affairs that need to be implemented locally must be reported in advance, or they must be reported in detail afterwards.
Seeing that her father did not speak, Liu Jin took the initiative to say: "His Royal Highness Jin Wang knelt in the Jinshen Hall all night, and he should still be waiting for his order."
Zhu Biao snorted and asked, "Did you really kneel all night?"
Liu Jin lowered her head and didn't dare to answer. Zhu Biao naturally knew how much moisture was in the kneeling all night. He must have slept on his stomach in the temple all night, and only kneeled seriously when he woke up in the morning.
But this is the right thing to say, based on the temperament and gender of the second child, it is Zhu Biao who punished him.
"Let him go, let him do whatever he likes."
"My lord, do you want His Royal Highness Jin to go to plow the fields? According to your instructions, there will be no one else to wait on the fields. Before leaving, the Holy Majesty was still talking about tasting it after returning from the northern tour."
Zhu Biao didn't intend to answer, and Liu Jin didn't talk too much anymore. The hands in his sleeves shook slightly. Immediately behind, a young **** silently left the team and went to Jinshen Hall to convey the prince's oral order.
Zhu Biao walked through the Wulou from the middle left gate and went straight to the front of the Wuying Hall. As he got closer, the smile on his face became more and more warm. Zhu Biao had never met a member of the Wu family, but it did not hinder the gratitude in his heart.
Empress Ma was displaced when she was young and then grew up under the fence. When talking about the good times of her childhood, most of them had Wu's parents.
Many people stood in front of the Hall of Martial Heroes, except for some people in official robes, the rest were mostly old men in common clothes, and some of them needed support, showing signs of oldness.
But it’s normal, Empress Ma now has grandchildren, not to mention the elders of the past. It is very rare for them to survive until now.
Zhu Biao and his party were very powerful. After a panic in front of the Wuying Hall, they formed a team under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites.
Zhu Biao stepped up slightly, walked in and grabbed the old man with long eyebrows in the middle and said softly: "It's the sixth uncle, please don't you come from a long way to be a junior, please don't blame me. It is really the younger generation and the queen mother who are looking forward to it."
The old man with long eyebrows wept and said: "Ah... this old man is Wu Congzhen, who has met His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will last forever..."
The rest of the elders were also dripping with tears, and Zhu Biao's eye circles soon turned red. The eyes that were originally as deep as a deep pool also became slightly moist. This naturally made the atmosphere of this family reunion even more enthusiastic.
Zhu Biao kept holding Wu Congzhen's hand, and let him introduce Wu clan members one by one. Zhu Biao showed enough respect to each of them, so that their uneasy and restrained hearts were completely relieved.
Cao Guogong Li Zhen persuaded: "The banquet is ready, let's go into the hall to express our blood relationship."
Zhu Biao wiped the corners of his eyes slightly with his sleeve and said: "What uncle said is true, please invite all relatives to come in."
The two officials respectfully promised that they were in charge of receiving these people, and they naturally knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was not closely related to them, but a distant relative of the Empress. It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince was really virtuous and filial.
After entering the hall and taking a seat, the banquet is ready. Although it is not extravagant, it has everything you need, and it looks very delicate. It is obvious that Chang Luohua has specially ordered it. The clan members were disappointed.
Let Uncle Li and Sixth Uncle take the lead, and Zhu Biao sits with him. What he talks about inside and outside is basically the things about Empress Ma's childhood, so Zhu Biao has the opportunity to really understand his grandfather.
The so-called son does not talk about his father's faults. In fact, Empress Ma's difficult morning can be attributed to her father's angrily fighting and killing people in the village. Fearing that he would be caught in the law, he entrusted his daughter to the Dingyuan Guo family, and led his subsequent wives to avoid disasters and finally died as a guest.
You must know that the Ma family was a relatively wealthy family in the hometown of Suzhou at that time, otherwise Empress Ma would not have the leisure time to communicate with the Wu family. You must know that it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to leave relatives.
According to the sixth uncle Gong Wu Congzhen, the ancestor of the Ma family was Ma Taibao in the Song Dynasty. He was originally from Chengwu, Shanzhou, Shandong in the Northern Song Dynasty. He served as the prefect of Huaizhou and was promoted to the magistrate of Dengzhou. Later, he successively served as the magistrate of Caozhou, Jezhou, and Yanzhou.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, six or seven generations moved to Shihaoli. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were three brothers in the Ma family. The eldest was Ma Liang, the second was Ma Huai, and the third was Ma Rang. The most outstanding.
"When young and strong, he had extraordinary physical strength, Shen Yi, taciturn and smiling, he was serious about life and death..."
"When you see someone doing something unrighteous, you treat him as a hater, but if you disobey his will, you beat him wantonly. Even if you die, you are fearless. No fellow countryman dares to commit crimes."
This is the description of Zhu Biao's grandfather by the elders of the Wu family. After hearing this, Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly. His grandfather is clearly a village tyrant who runs rampant in the village. It doesn't hesitate to kill people, but the people in the same town are not afraid...
Li Zhen raised his glass beside him and said: "Emphasis on promises and despise life and death, the style of ancient chivalrous men, if in the Han Dynasty or for a party of heroes to gather righteousness from all directions, the empress and empress are the spirit of a father, women do not give up to men, Yingguo knows it well Lieutenant general admires...
Li Zhen took this opportunity to offer a toast to the elders of the Wu family. He is the brother-in-law of the emperor and empress, but he is undoubtedly a junior in front of these few. The Zhu family can't find a more suitable person. The prince was young and had no experience in the countryside. , Naturally, he has to say more.
After drinking a glass of wine, Li Zhen's face turned red, and she resisted the urge to cough. He usually likes to read, drink tea and rarely drink alcohol, but in fact, the people of the Wu family are also like this, and they all feel uncomfortable.
Five years after the founding of the country, the land was reclaimed and cultivated. Now the south is doing well, but the north and the west are still in a state of food shortage. The imperial court strictly forbids the private use of grain to make wine. Will sell the countryside cheaply.
So the people of the Wu clan drink less of such a good wine with such a high purity. This is because Empress Ma would bring a few jars of imperial wine with her when she sent people to deliver grain and cloth during festivals. Easy.
But it is expected that it will be fine in a few years. The land of the Nanyang countries is very suitable for farming and rich products, but their farming methods are backward and the economy is not developed.
Now that the sea route has been opened, and the Marquis of Jinghai has led the navy to the right place, although all the countries in Southeast Asia have tacitly rejected and guarded against it, but in the end it is just a mantis' arm.
Wanting Daming to help them deal with the Japanese pirates, but also thinking of empty-handed white wolves, using some gold, silver and jewelry as tribute in exchange for the **** battle of Daming soldiers, it is simply whimsical.
Zhu Biao slightly shook the clear wine in his glass. It would be good to build more wineries in Nanyang in the future. After drinking a glass, he got up and walked to other tables to toast.
The atmosphere is very friendly but not too enthusiastic. After all, this is the palace, and the warm young man in front of him is the crown prince. Maybe the people of the Wu family don't know how much power Zhu Biao has, but they must know that the fate of his group is in the future. Between people's thoughts.
Grass eaters will never make friends with meat eaters, nor can they be friends...
