First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 577

  Chapter 577 Gao Qi

   This hall is not only occupied by their family, but also servants and maidservants. Some inadvertent actions will be over-interpreted if they are spread out.

  Zhu Yuanzhang weighed his grandson and said: "The rest will disappear, but those who are pregnant will still be rewarded. Each will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and a pair of lotus and jade wishes."

  Chang Luohua thanked them for them, then turned around and took the youngest son from the nurse and sat beside her husband. The difference between the concubine and the concubine was so great that even though Wang Rui's child was beneficial to the overall situation, the emperor still would not pay too much attention to it.

  After being indifferent to his grandson for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang got up and prepared to go back to the harem to rest. Zhu Biao and Chang Luohua naturally asked their father to stay for dinner together, but Lao Zhu had already made up his mind and could only send it out respectfully.

  Watching Yujia go away, the couple returned to Chengqian Palace hand in hand. Zhu Biao took off his heavy court clothes and sat on the couch and sighed: "Today is enough."

At this moment, Fuduo brought over an exquisite wooden basin. The water inside was deep and steaming, with an obvious smell of herbs. He carefully put His Royal Highness's feet in it and wiped it off: "Master, this is a new gift from the Imperial Hospital. The foot bath recipe here uses mugwort leaves, angelica, ginger, Chuanqiong, motherwort, safflower, salvia miltiorrhiza, and Duhuo, which are said to be able to open yang, solidify and protect qi and blood."

  Zhu Biao opened his clothes, leaned back and put his hands on the bed and took a comfortable breath. He didn't know if he could get rid of Yanggutuo, but at least he was relieved of fatigue.

   Xu knew that His Royal Highness was tired from walking today, and the decoction had been changed three times. The smell was different and the curative effect was also different. In fact, Zhu Biao didn't feel much afterward.

   At this time, Chang Luohua had arranged for the two children and came back. Sitting in front of the mirror, the palace maid took off the gold hairpin from the phoenix butterfly on her head.

   "Shouldn't you go to Nuanyu's place tonight?"

  Zhu Biao took back his cleaned legs and sat cross-legged on the couch, shaking his head and said: "Tomorrow, I have to go to Mrs. Chen's place later. By the way, I will invite Mrs. Chen into the palace tomorrow morning in your name."

  In her position, she seeks to manage her own affairs, enjoy wealth and honor and accept her responsibilities, Chang Luohua clearly agrees that whatever is beneficial to her husband is beneficial to her, and naturally she has to work together if she wants to be rewarded.

"In a few days, pick a good weather to go to Zijin Mountain for an outing together. Bring all the little ones in the palace, and the second, third, and fourth outside the palace. It's up to you to make arrangements for the rest. It's rare and lively. "

   This has been arranged long ago. Although it is now the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, since the marriage contract has already been made, it is necessary for the younger brothers and sisters-in-law to meet in advance and make contact with each other.

It can be expected that both civil servants and military generals in Beijing will find ways to send their children to this outing. It is said that the older princes and princesses are already engaged, but there are other things, thanks to the Holy Majesty Hard work.

   Chang Luohua asked a few more questions before prudently responding. It is not easy to convene a gathering of so many people, not to mention that there are many officials and ladies who are waiting to be married.

Zhu Biao has no interest in the official ladies now, but he has great expectations for the new generation of officials and honored children. A few years ago, Zhu Biao selected a group, but only took the most outstanding ones to be trained under his command. After all, at that time Times are different.

   Now it's another situation. Talents from the imperial examinations and students from the Imperial College can't fill the gaps in Bashu and Guizhou officials, and Liaodong and Yunnan may be attached at any time, which is another huge vacancy.

  No matter how you look at it, it is most appropriate to appoint a group of officials' children, and they don't need to be too outstanding. It is rare for people with amazing talents and brilliance. Zhu Biao now hopes that they are not ignorant people.

After chatting and resting for a while, Zhu Biao got up and went to Chen Yunqing's place to settle down. Nuanyu could only reward a few more jewels as compensation. Although Nuanyu, a naive girl, probably didn't think so much, but the palace was willing to catch wind and catch the wind. There are too many servants who step up and down, and Liu Jin is not in charge now, so Zhu Biao has to worry more.

The next morning, after Zhu Biao got up and washed, he went to the morning court. Everything was carried out according to the usual rules. When he was about to go down to the court, Yang Jia, the censor, suddenly stood up and prostrated himself on the ground: "Qi Zou Sheng, my minister has This play!"

Normal remonstrance and impeachment should have been written in advance. The imperial court is not a vegetable market, and there is no reason to grab and bite. Zhu Biao quickly glanced at the few ministers below, but they also looked surprised and couldn't see it at all. What.

   But this is enough, and if you can't see it, it shows some problems. It seems that no one wants to get involved in this matter, Zhu Biao withdraws his gaze and stands solemnly.

  Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently: "Speak."

  Yang Jia got up and said solemnly: "I want to impeach Wei Guan, the prefect of Suzhou, Gao Qi and Wang Yi, the former editors of the Imperial Academy, for plotting against the law, and I have the heart of disobedience!"

Conspiring against the law has the heart of disobedience. If this is carried out, it is not a small crime of demoting officials and resigning from office. What a great feat.

   But there is a lot of discussion among the civil servants. Wei Guan, Gao Qi, and Wang Yi are not ordinary people. They are all famous scholars in the literary world. How could such things be involved.

Zhao Cheng, who is also the censor, came out and said loudly: "My lord, as far as I know, Wei Guannian, the magistrate of Suzhou, is nearly a few years old, and Gao Qi Wang Yi is just a scholar, and now he doesn't even have an official position. Conspiring against the law?"

  Gao Qi is as famous as Liu Bowen and Song Lian, and he also has confidantes and friends in the court. Many people immediately echoed his words, but they didn't notice that the chill in the emperor's eyes became more serious.

  Zhu Biao lowered his eyes and said nothing. Knowing a son is like a father, and knowing a father is like a son. It is nothing if it only involves Wei Guan, but it is inexplicably involved in Gao Qi and Wang Yi, which makes Zhu Biao a little clear.

  The lack of officials and talents in the imperial court is not only due to the rare talents but also due to the continuous purge of officials. Every year, the officials killed due to corruption are unknown.

Scholars who refused to accept the appointment of the imperial court have appeared frequently since the first year of Hongwu. Some think that the people of the Yuan Dynasty should not serve in the new dynasty. The governing officials are strict and refuse to be official.

  The reasons are different but the choices are the same, but in the eyes of the emperor, these are traitors and ministers. Is it the king's land in the whole world?

Gao Qi and Wang Yi are the most typical representatives. Gao Qi had previously served Zhang Shicheng as an aide. When the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang specially issued an edict to collect and compile Yuan history. At first, he refused repeatedly and Song Lian sent a letter to persuade him. .

Gao Qi became famous at a young age and was a genius Gao Yi. He was also a teacher of many elders, and he imitated everything. In his poems, he imitated Han Wei to resemble Han Wei, imitated Six Dynasties to resemble Six Dynasties, imitated Tang to resemble Tang, and imitated Song to resemble Song. At the end of Zhenyuan period, he returned to Zheng for his fine and elegant habits, and his reputation is prominent in the literary world all over the world.

  Who would not like such a genius? After the compilation of "Yuan History" was completed, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to appoint him as the right servant of the household department, but Gao Qigu refused his firm request and allowed him to resign and return to his hometown.

  Wang Yi is the same. He summoned the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" in common clothes, entered the Hanlin, begged for his mother, and returned it with gold coins.

   These two seem to have set an example. Last year, there were more than 20 officials who resigned with excuses. Some were given money and some were reprimanded to stay.

It is conceivable from this that the emperor was angry, and Zhu Biao could think of the sharp-minded people in the center of the court, so there was a rather interesting scene. They all bowed their heads and stood silently, for fear of getting burned.

  After all the excusers had finished speaking, Censor Yang Jia continued to speak. This time, he was mainly targeting Gao Qi. If he carefully interpreted the poems he wrote in the past, he would be able to understand his dissatisfaction with the imperial court.

  For example, the third sentence of "Three Chapters of Taibai" "The master of Xinfeng must not be ignorant, and the slaves also have the bone of a marquis." When the new dynasty was first established, it is self-evident what kind of people the intention refers to.
