First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 456

  Chapter 456 Uneven Suffering

Zhu Biao thought for a while and replied: "I think that neither of them is suitable. The smugglers must involve the interests of many people, including some high-ranking people. I suggest that Xu Yungong, Chang Mao, and Li Qi go to deal with this matter." .”

  A look of satisfaction flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. If he asked other princes or ministers, they would only choose one of the options he proposed, and they didn't have the guts to put forward their own ideas.

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he felt a little inappropriate, and then added: "You can also let the second and third children go. As they get older, it's not a problem to wander around the capital all the time. benefit."

  Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily: "Go and arrange it, and we won't interfere."

  Zhu Biao responded, Mao Xiang himself had problems, and some high-level cadres in the Pro-Army Duwei's Mansion have become a little rotten since they came from troubled times. This is also a normal thing.

  The pro-army Duwei Mansion is a secret service agency after all. The characteristic of this kind of agency is low position and authority. The upper limit of official career has been limited.

  As for the censors, it's not that Zhu Biao looked down on them. Even if they were covered with tiger skins, it would not be so easy to find some people in the northern border where there are many martial arts.

Wu Xun was xenophobic, even the generals who had nothing to do with this matter would never want to see civilian officials act recklessly on their heads, so the difficulty of investigating the case would undoubtedly be much higher, and the imperial envoy would most likely be disgraced. Come back with success.

  The dispatch of Xu Yungong and Chang Mao is different. They are the direct descendants of Wu Xun, and they are also the top of the future. For the generals of Wu Xun, internal self-examination and a thorough investigation by civil officials are two different things.

As for Li Qi, it was just a joke. No matter how beautiful Li Shanchang was, he is now in a situation where people are taking tea, and Li Qi is also pursuing a career as a civil servant. In the future, he will marry a princess, although he will definitely be able to inherit the country Dukedom, but it is destined to become a decoration, and it is absolutely impossible to become a military boss.

   Zhu Biao would support his younger sister for the sake of his sister's face, not to mention that the future prince consort would undoubtedly be a good tool to balance the internal power of the nobles.

  As for the second and third sons, it is every father's expectation to have their son become a dragon. Although Lao Zhu loves the eldest son the most, the other sons are also sons, and he doesn't want to see them idle around in the capital.

  Zhu Biao doesn't care too much, everyone knows that the overall situation is settled, even if he has the intention to secretly support Qianlong, no one dares to reveal it now, unless there is news of Zhu Biao's poor health.

The two of them were tired after walking for so long, so Zhu Yuanzhang found a stone that looked pleasing to the eye and sat on it, scratched his buttocks, squinted his eyes and looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky. Sneezed out.

  Old Zhu then turned his head back satisfied: "Yesterday, the Ministry of Rites reported that Wang Shijian had returned to his hometown, and asked the imperial court how to grant him the title."

   "We plan to posthumously confer him the title of Zishan doctor, promote him to be a senior minister, reward him with a thousand taels of silver, and then put his grandson in the Imperial College. This is reasonable."

Zhu Biao nodded in agreement. He didn't need to talk too much about something that his father had already made up his mind. Moreover, Wang Shijian was posthumously named as a second-rank senior official from the mere seventh-rank Yushitai. A lot of honor and respectability.

This can be regarded as the court's daughter buying horse bones. After Wang Shijian's death, Zhu Biaoren specially sent people to settle his bad debts in Shaanxi and Gansu. Today's Dr. Wang Shijian can be regarded as a model of honesty and integrity of Ming officials, and an example of literati serving the country .

  Zhu Biao has sent a letter to ask his husband Song Lian to endorse him. The Ministry of Rites and Officials of the court will send officials to read out the posthumous decree and preside over the burial ceremony of Wang Shijian. Zhu Biao will also send eunuchs to watch the ceremony.

  This kind of honor and decency is rare, Wang Shijian's death is not a loss, and as long as the Wang family's children don't take evil paths in the past few decades, their official careers must be smooth.

   After resting for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang got up and walked back to the Jinshen Hall. The father and son sat down and drank a cup of tea.

  Zhu Bianben wanted to help review some, but was kicked out by his father and asked him to meet Princess Goryeo.

   When Zhu Biao took a look, it was almost time for lunch, so Liu An was asked to send a message outside the palace first, so that the princess could be prepared, otherwise it would be inappropriate to rush to the door.

  Actually, it is too late to write a letter now, and it is reasonable to make an appointment a few days in advance, but Zhu Biao, as the heir of the suzerain state, dared not find fault with Goryeo.

   Then he turned around and walked towards the East Palace, counting the time in his mind, and told Liu Jin who was beside him: "Let Xu Yungong and Changmao Li Qiyin come to the palace to see you."

  Zhu Biao walked a few steps and then ordered: "Call Fu Zhong, Feng Cheng and Deng Zhen."

   Liu Jin agreed, thinking he was a good guy, at least he was the eldest son of the Duke of the State, and he was one of the best young men in brocade clothes in the capital.

   Zhu Biao's age may not be expected to match the current founding generals in the future, so it is also necessary to train some honorable children of similar age.

Moreover, as the second generation of the founding of the country, their personalities and abilities are not bad. Zhu Biao's civil servants have never had anything to worry about, let alone Guo Chong, Zhang Fan, Li Jin and other middle-level civil officials who are in charge of the state capital. The operation of the important departments of the central government.

  Wu Xun's training was due to Hu Weiyong's reasons, except for Xu Yungong, Changmao Tang Ding, he had no contact with anything. After all, it's not time to make a conclusion, and random training can easily affect judgment.

But now Hu Weiyong's movement is actually very clear, Wen Chen grasps it with one hand, Wu Xun's side is only Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, Pingliang Hou Fei Ju, Nan'an Hou Yu Tongyuan, Henan Hou Luju, etc. It's not something he can close.

  Unless Hu Weiyong seized their deadly handle, they would not be able to attach themselves to Hu Weiyong after their success, even if he was the prime minister.

Hu Weiyong is also aware of this, so he won't try his best to win over people at the level of the Duke. With this skill, it is better to gather the generals of the guards around the capital. After all, when the Duke is not in a war, he can mobilize few troops Pitiful.

Therefore, it is more necessary for generals with low official positions and no titles to fight for. This group of generals with first- and second-rank official positions have a lot of resentment for not being knighted. No one will think that they are weaker than anyone else. , They were all made of corpses and blood. Why are they military officers and we are military officers.

  The gap here is that the idiots know it well, the most obvious is that the sons of others are born as Lord Marquis, hereditary, and their sons can only receive a commander of the third or fourth rank at most.
