First Prince of Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 280 Wild and untamable

I have to say that I am used to fine imperial meals, and it is really good to eat duck blood soup and freshly baked pancakes once in a while. Zhu Biao even ate three of them. After eating, he leaned on his chair and asked, "Father is Why are you so happy, could it be that there is good news from the southwest?"

   Shaobing with duck blood soup has a special meaning to Lao Zhu, and he is reluctant to eat it when he is not particularly happy. Zhu Yuanzhang patted his belly and said: "We are so shallow-sighted, you boy, don't ask what you know."

  Zhu Biao said cheerfully: "The imperial doctor is not sure. Don't be disappointed if you are not pregnant with the father. Luo Hua is a little uneasy after receiving the reward from the father and mother. I am afraid that it will make you happy in vain."

Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his waist instantly and said: "This is our negligence. Please comfort her when you go back and tell her not to bother her. We know the virtues of those guys in the Tai Hospital very well. If you dare to report it, it is almost inseparable. It is estimated that in half a month the pulse will be clear."

While talking, Zhu Biao felt the joy in the corners of his father's eyes and eyebrows. Speaking of which, Lao Zhu himself has almost twenty children, but except for the first few, the rest are just like that , and nothing to be too happy about.

   Now that he heard that he had a grandson, he was as happy as when his wife was pregnant with Biaoer. Zhu Yuanzhang was so satisfied with this unborn child, and it came at the right time.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with his mother's family. Once the child was born, the Chang family would be completely tied to death in the Zhu family's carriage, which would become Zhu Biao's most important support in the military in the future. The family will also strive to maintain orthodoxy, which is what he hopes to see.

  From the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang did his best to cultivate the eldest son in order to give Daming a good start. The eldest son's succession is not the best way, but it is definitely the safest way.

The strength of foreign relatives is indeed a problem, but Zhu Yuanzhang is not worried, not to mention that Chang Mao's qualifications are mediocre. This is doomed that after Chang Yuchun, the Chang family will gradually decline. It will be between the emperor's thoughts.

  Father and son looked at each other and lived in tacit understanding. Daming's current situation is very good, everything is thriving, and the plans are being actively carried out, but it still takes a little time.

  During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang basically handed over all the administrative power to the Zhongshu Ministry except for the necessary memorials, and proceeded according to the ten-year plan of governing the country and enriching the people presented by Hu Weiyong.

I have to say that Hu Weiyong is indeed a capable minister, and the national policy of the first two years has not been a problem now. If it weren't because he was too deeply involved with Huaixi nobles, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be willing to send such a talent to a dead end, but Now only people can survive.

  Father and son walked out of the Jinshen Hall and strolled around the front palace square. It was late in summer and the sun was setting, and it was still bright outside at night. Zhu Biao asked casually, "Why hasn't Hu Weiyong moved yet?"

   Zhu Yuanzhang said with his hands behind his back: "Yang Xian fell in front of him, how could he be taken as a warning, now Hu Weiyong is quite strict with himself and lenient to others."

  Zhu Biao said with a smile: "It is not a good thing to be lenient in the officialdom. The people in Huaixi are very arrogant now. I am afraid they have caused a lot of trouble. Hu Weiyong committed a taboo by relying on his official position to help them."

  Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "Don't worry, let's wait and see, the situation is stable now, some people can't stay idle, and there will be more monsters and ghosts in the future."

Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this. Those who survived the battle will naturally have to eat bonuses, and those who are not satisfied have to eat what is in their own bowl and watch what is in other people's pots. This will cause a lot of trouble in the next two or three years. went.

When Hu Weiyong came to this point, he didn’t want to carry some things. Otherwise, how could the people below agree? The officials and officials guarded each other a few times, and the interests of you and me will be deeply connected. From now on, everyone will be prosperous. All are lost.

In fact, it is not Zhu Yuanzhang who is setting them up. If they all know what contentment and happiness are, then no one will be able to do anything to the founder of the country. It’s just that Zhu Yuanzhang knows those old brothers too well. They are all wolf cubs who grew up in troubled times. dog.

They are used to relying on their own minions to hunt and eat meat, and they will not honestly wait for the bones given to them by the court. When the enemy is eaten up, they will eat the people at the bottom. In the eyes of those people, they are just fat sheep raised in captivity, and they are not of the same class as them.

Their pity has long been abandoned when they were young, otherwise they would not rush out of the **** corpse mountain in troubled times and rush all the way to the level of the empire's nobles, but Zhu Yuanzhang, the wolf, has climbed to the top in victories again and again. He was no longer the wolf king who only wanted to kill and eat meat to survive.

Maybe when he called King Wu in the land of Jinling, he was no longer the leader of the wolf pack. His ambition shifted from eating meat to the vast mountains and rivers. Jinling tigers occupy the land of dragons. Since then He changed, and the pack of wolves around him still only wanted to eat meat, but at that time they still had enemies.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang has become the only real dragon in the world, and it is his duty to guard the world, and the victorious wolves have become the biggest threat, but even the real dragon emperor can't eliminate the wildness of all of them , turning them from wolves into dogs.

  Zhu Biao thought for a while silently, whether it is the nobles in the capital, or the nobles who go north and south to guard various places, they are all familiar to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao has never doubted their loyalty.

  But they will not suppress themselves from being corrupt and breaking the law because of their loyalty. In their eyes, this is not a conflict. They are not greedy for rebellion, but just want to enjoy more wealth and wealth. Could it be possible to return to their hometown to farm after the war?

The original good mood of the father and son suddenly became a little depressed. The fate of the nobles is still in their own hands. As long as they don't corrupt the law and collude with their colleagues to cover up their crimes, then Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements are useless to them. Hu Weiyong doesn't have that power Nor will it lead to a dead end.

But the reality is that some of them know that there will be no good end if they are greedy, but they still can't control themselves. This dead end is pushed by the desire in human nature. It is addictive, once you taste the sweetness there is no turning back.

  Zhu Yuanzhang is now in his hands, and he is about to have an excellent son and grandson, but he wants to bury a group of old brothers and their descendants with his own hands. Has Zhu Yuanzhang not mentioned them since the founding of the country?

   No, what I said was that my mouth was dry and my tongue was almost worn out. I was afraid that what I said was too vague and they would not understand, so I wished I could crumble the truth and stuff it into their minds.

  But they all knelt down crying bitterly on the spot and yelled to listen to the hadith. Zhu Yuanzhang could only sigh indifferently in the end.
