Chapter 714 Returning to Beijing
After the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment left, the central meeting after the emperor returned to Beijing was also hastily ended. With the crown prince supervising the country, many things were just a formality, and Lao Zhu didn't ask carefully.
When everyone retreated, the jade swayed slightly, and Zhu Biao got up and came to his father. Old Zhu unceremoniously stretched out his hand and pinched his son's jaw and shook it left and right a few times: "If you let you imprison a country, you will almost be exhausted." gone."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "The words of the imperial physician are inevitably alarmist, and the emperor is not clear."
How the son's health is naturally the most concerned issue for Zhu Yuanzhang, not only the relationship between father and son, but the Ming Dynasty also cannot do without this prince. Give him time to regenerate another one.
Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied and let go of his hand. His son is getting older, and it is difficult to find opportunities to get closer: "You can see things in northern Xinjiang very accurately. If Kaiping is guarded, the rest is nothing to worry about."
"There are so many deceitful behaviors in animals, just stop and laugh."
This is a bit full of words, but his son's insight is indeed very keen, Lao Zhu didn't say anything, just stroked his short beard and said: "Our father and I originally expected that there would be no war in northern Xinjiang for at least a few years, and it's only been a few months now. It can be seen that people are not as good as heaven.”
"What the father mentioned is that the minister knows."
Old Zhu reacted and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you deliberately put on a show here to coax your father to play?"
The father and son chatted and laughed for a few words, then habitually lowered their eyes and fell silent. It might be a bit weird for outsiders to retreat, but for their father and son, this is the most familiar and stable state.
"Hu Weiyong has gone too far, Liyang is right under our feet, and he has done so disgracefully."
Zhu Biao nodded slowly: "During this period of time, he has monopolized all the power, and it can be said that he has never been idle for a moment. The promotions and transfers of various ministries and local officials in the court and central government have all been handed over. The power is so powerful, and it is inevitable that he will be somewhat greedy."
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment: "Biaoer, do you think we should take down Hu Weiyong now?"
"Originally, we thought that Huaixi's gang was too powerful and restless. It would be difficult for you to deal with public and private affairs after you succeed in the future. It is inevitable that you will be hindered by them. Let us solve them for you."
"But now it seems that our son is going to be successful, so we don't need to kill too many old brothers."
Too many, it can be seen that the intention is not not to kill, but to limit it within a certain range, from the original big case with unlimited ties, to targeting some ministers who have crossed the line.
Zhu Biao did not answer directly, but asked softly: "Father, the post of prime minister, is it abolished or not?"
In fact, from the beginning to the end, Zhu Biao didn't really want the prime minister to be abolished. Abolishing the prime minister has advantages, but also disadvantages.
My father has inexplicable confidence in his children and grandchildren, but Zhu Biao does not. It is precisely because of the experience that he understands how pleasant it is for a person to be born noble and hold power. A truly smart person would not choose to be a so-called Mingjun .
Mingjun is suffering, tired and has no name after all. He is truly lonely, so why bother.
Hu Weiyong represented not only the nobles of the Huaixi lineage, but also the officials in the court. The prime minister represented the ministers. In fact, this court has always been divided into monarchs and ministers.
The power of the subject is the power of the prime minister, and the dispute between the monarch and the prime minister is a contradiction that cannot be eliminated. The two parties have always been in a state of ebb and flow, restricting and promoting each other.
If it is an ordinary king, he will accept it. After all, it has been like this since ancient times. The imperial power is naturally stronger than the power of the prime minister. Compared with completely abolishing the prime minister at the risk of the world, it is easier to suppress a prime minister with power.
But what kind of temperament is Lao Zhu, from the beginning to the end he always wanted to solve it in one go.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't respond, and Zhu Biao didn't ask any more questions. People's minds and thoughts will change with the changes of the current situation. It's just that in a high position, every move shakes the world, so we have to be cautious again and again.
"There, the minister went to visit the queen mother."
"Well, go ahead and ask the second and third to come over."
………
Emperor Yijia returned to Miyagi, and the people in Beijing had a good time watching it today, and they also followed it for a long time. No matter how officials and scholars think of Emperor Zhu, they are all admired by ordinary people who have experienced human life. In the troubled times of grass, we know that peace is not easy.
Zhu Biao supported his mother and got out of the car. Chang Luohua led a group of concubines to salute, followed by the wives from outside courts.
"The courtiers and concubines welcome the empress and empress Fengjia back to the palace, and the empress will be blessed forever!"
Empress Ma's face was a little tired, and there were some slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and brows, but this did not affect her unparalleled beauty, but made her more majestic and majestic.
Zhu Biao glanced at the crown princess who was kneeling in front of her while holding the phoenix seal. Speaking of which, his wife and mother were really similar in certain qualities.
"Excuse me, please welcome me from a distance, let's all go to the hall and sit down, and we will go to dinner together later to talk about each other."
"The concubine thanked the empress."
Empress Ma walked up to her daughter-in-law and bent down to help her up: "My departure has made you worry about labor, and you have to take care of Yang'er Lianger inside and outside the palace."
Chang Luohua got up and smiled, "What are you talking about, the queen mother? This is the duty of the son-in-law."
Empress Ma smiled lovingly, stretched out her hand to caress the phoenix seal presented to her daughter-in-law, her eyes showed a bit of remembrance, but she said: "Put it away, there are too many people in your palace, and your mother is old. I can't handle it anymore."
As soon as this remark came out, the concubines and wives were all shocked, but they didn't dare to say anything. What the Phoenix seal represented was by no means a simple nobility and decency. The authority of the princess.
The people who had just got up quickly knelt back. Empress Ma looked back at her son.
However, this is an unwarranted disaster. It seems that the empress from my mother is afraid that there will be more and more women in the Eastern Palace, a new generation will replace the old one, and worried about the status of the daughter-in-law and two precious grandchildren, so she deliberately beat him.
Governing the world with filial piety is a national governance program that implements the 2,000-year-old imperial society. The common people may occasionally be unfilial, but the Tianjia clan is an example for the world and will never tolerate unfilial piety.
The position of Chang Luohua's concubine was originally appointed by the emperor and has been sacrificed to the ancestors of the ancestral temple. Now the queen has given the phoenix seal to take charge of the palace affairs. The orthodox position of the princess can no longer be upright. Otherwise it is unfilial.
But with the conscience of heaven and earth, he never thought of changing the princess.
Of course, Chang Luohua also understood the meaning of this. Tears welled up in his eyes instantly, like mist rising from the Qingqiu Lake, and his rosy lips were lightly parted. As soon as he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Empress Ma: "Good boy, it should be What's yours is yours, and no one can take it away, your father and I both think so."
The concubines and concubines couldn’t help but look at the prince secretly. Isn’t it always rumored that the prince and concubine are young couples who love each other and don’t trust them?
Why is the Empress suddenly like this? Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince has been fascinated by some seductive son and wants to change his concubine?
Heh, man.
The wives who can come here are naturally regular wives, and their natural position is on the same front as the empress and the princess. At this time, the gaze towards the prince inevitably becomes a little subtle.
Zhu Biao was dumbfounded, suddenly felt that it was wrong for him to come here, why not go to Wuying Hall with his father to meet the courtiers, no one would dare to look at me differently.
"My daughter-in-law is not such a little woman."
Chang Luohua reached out and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and a confident smile appeared on his face again. He was full of heroism, like a general returning in triumph, and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood side by side, gorgeous and dazzling.
Zhu Biao only felt his eyes a little sore, and said dryly: "I am still waiting for my son at the Wuying Hall. The mother and queen will enter the palace to rest for the time being, and my son will come back later."
"Go."
