First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 284

  Chapter 284 Yu Qi

  When Chang Luohua was a little tired, Zhu Biao sent her back to her room to rest. Exercising too much is not good, and she is two months old now. Fortunately, she hasn't had any symptoms of morning sickness, but she is a little lethargic.

  Now there are not only several imperial physicians staring at the East Palace, but also the famous Wen Po. After all, the imperial physicians are men no matter what, so it is difficult to diagnose.

Among them, there was a steady woman who specifically told Zhu Biao that he had a recipe that would allow the concubine to have a child in one fell swoop. He could only say that the recipe was just a recipe, and it was a bit evil. Zhu Biao flatly refused, although he hoped that Chang Luohua would have a first child. He could give birth to the grandson of the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but he was not too persistent.

What's more, he didn't think that this kind of evil thing could reverse the **** of the fetus, and it would be good if it didn't damage the mother's body. He was worried that Chang Luohua would be fooled by it, so he sent the woman out of the palace directly, and asked Liu Jin to mention the remaining few. indivual.

   It is not a bad thing to bloom first and then bear fruit. The important thing is to prove that the future human beings can conceive children, and that is enough.

At night, Zhu Biao accompanied Chang Luohua, who woke up, to eat some food, and then was called away by the **** next to Zhu Yuanzhang. He thought he would go to the house, but Lao Zhu asked someone to set up a table in the gazebo of the imperial garden. The big table of wine and food is quite rich.

In summer, when the heating was clear, Zhu Biao was near the Royal Garden and arrived before the other brothers. Old Comrade Zhu was still frowning and reading the memorial. "Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places came up one after another to report, asking the imperial court to exempt taxes."

  Zhu Biao also got a headache when he heard it. These places are either suffering from long-term wars and the livelihood of the people is dying, or the people who encounter natural disasters in the territory are struggling to make a living. If taxes are imposed on them, the blow will be even greater.

   But taxes are not collected, Daming now needs money and food everywhere, and the hair of the Minister of the Household Department is almost graying, but the reality is that there is no way, this is how it has been for the past few years, and this year is not bad.

  Zhu Yuanzhang also had no choice but to directly approve the letter, and sent the **** beside him to Zhongshu Province. Zhu Biao comforted: "It will be fine to rest and recuperate for a few years. Father, don't worry about it."

   At this time, the three brothers of the Zhu family also came. Although they had bathed and washed, it can be seen that they were indeed a lot darker. Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was much more satisfied.

It was rare for the father and son to have a meal together. The three brothers were a little nervous, and Lao Zhu was a little at a loss for his sons. After all, he didn't care about his sons when they met. He just asked about his studies. .

But fortunately, Zhu Biao made the adjustment in the middle. They are all men, and it is a little too nasty to talk about feelings or care about life. Zhu Biao asked them to talk about what happened in Fengyang in the past few months. The three brothers really did things seriously this time, so Naturally, some have said it.

  Although it was just a few trivial things, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy to hear it. He even drank several pots of wine and gave some pointers. Then he left satisfied, leaving the wine table to his sons.

  Zhu Biao personally poured a glass of wine for his younger brothers and said: "The imperial court has already received news about the Fengyang incident. I don't know how happy my father was that day."

  Zhu Yan scratched his head and said, "It's all implemented according to the plan left by the eldest brother, we just watched."

  Zhu Yi glared at his younger brother, why didn't you talk too much in front of the father just now, and now you are here again when the sale is good, the third guy is not good enough.

  Zhu Di said: "Although the implementation is good, time is running out and there are not enough acres of cultivated land. Even if taxes are not paid, self-sufficiency is still a problem. I am afraid that the court needs to allocate some food."

  Zhu Biao replied without surprise: "This is the case with relocation. Even if it is done well, the initial investment is inevitable, but I think it will be fine in the next year or the next year. It will always be prosperous."

  Afterwards, they started chatting. Zhu Biao talked about all the interesting things recently, especially the style of Jiangnan. He has no friends. Apart from his younger brothers, he doesn't know who else he can talk to.

The four brothers waited until it was dark before they dispersed. Zhu Biao felt that the depression that had been lingering in his heart had dissipated a lot. Even if he was the prince Zhu Biao, he still had a lot of troubles, but he couldn't tell his father, because his body To be a son is to share the worries of his father, not to mention how many bad things Lao Zhu himself has.

   The rest of the people needless to say, Zhu Biao suddenly understood what it was like to be alone. There are too many things that he can only bear by himself. It's not that he can't share it, but others can't understand it at all.

Sometimes Zhu Biao feels like a giant, who obviously has the ability to destroy the world, but he has to carefully build a house with small building blocks, for fear that one accident will destroy everything. Depression in the feet.

After returning to the palace, Nuan Yu blushed and waited for him to wash up. Zhu Biao looked at the kitten he had raised for many years with burning eyes. /)

  The next morning Zhu Biao went to the morning court. He thought it would be the same as usual. After all, most of the time the morning court is not so effective, and the meaning is over.

Previously in the Western Han Dynasty, officials took a daily rest every five days, and this system continued to be used until the Tang Dynasty. Due to frequent disturbances in state affairs, the "five-day rest" was changed to "ten-day rest". Officials are working harder than before.

  During the Song Dynasty, due to the small territory and fewer state affairs, it was too tiring to go to court frequently, so the emperors of the Song Dynasty changed it to only hold court meetings on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth of each month, just for fun.

In the Yuan Dynasty, they believed that going to court was more of a formality. They didn't like this kind of formalism, so they simply avoided the early court. Unless it was some special circumstances, they almost didn't go to court at other times. .

But now it is uncomfortable. Regardless of whether it is cold or hot, Beijing officials get up in the early morning and go to bed early in the morning. The annual holidays add up to only a few days, and even if they work like this, they may not be able to preserve their wealth and reputation. Whoever is so sour Know.

  Looking at the past dynasties, I am afraid that the Hongwu Dynasty was the most unfriendly to officials. Zhu Biao silently turned his attention to Wang Guangyang, the head of civil servants.

  Zhu Yuanzhang also felt it. Could it be that something happened that the pro-military captain's mansion didn't find out. If so, he had to clean up Mao Xiang.

Hu Weiyong behind Wang Guangyang smiled slightly. When the six officials finished their report, Wang Guangyang took a step forward and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "My lord congratulates you. After the Ming Dynasty recovered Bashu, there were colorful clouds in the sky above Chengdu. Yingying, there is a unicorn riding on the ganoderma in Chongqing, such auspiciousness can only be displayed if all people return to their hearts, it can be said that God blesses my Ming Dynasty."
