First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 612

  Chapter 612 Visitation

  Zhu Biao nodded to indicate that he would consider this person. After Chen Youzong returned, he should recommend several candidates. Such an important position cannot be directly decided in just one or two sentences.

  The emperor ruled the world with heavy codes, and the most important punishment was fair. If the position of Dali Temple fell to those who perverted the law for personal gain, the corruption of officials and punishments would have a wide-ranging impact, and Zhu Biao had to take it very seriously.

  Yan Donglai's serious illness was also caused by exhaustion. Even though he recovered after a few months, his vitality was still seriously injured. Zhu Biao had to let him stay in the leisurely yamen for another half a year, as a friendship between the monarch and his ministers.

  Walking to the Meridian Gate, he saw Liu Jin waiting here with a group of eunuchs holding boxes. Zhu Biao stopped and turned around and said, "Go back to your duties and help me share more."

   "No."

  Chen Youzong and others solemnly saluted and promised that His Highness will supervise the administration of the country again. Not only should these confidants not take advantage of the situation to be rampant, but they must be more respectful and diligent. It is the virtue of a courtier to share the worries and solve the problems for the king.

   After they walked away, Zhu Biao walked towards the outside of the palace with his hands behind his hands. Since he was confined to the East Palace, he only went out in a hurry when he went to pick up Mr. Song Lian.

Uncle Li's mansion is naturally going to visit, Kaiping Prince's mansion is also unavoidable, as well as nephew Zhu Shouqian's mansion, and Yan Donglai's mansion, he has to go to these four houses in person, and the rest will be given some gifts by the servants. .

  Respecting the old and loving the young, Guchen, is the best. After leaving Duanmen, Zhu Biao got into the car and headed towards Cao Guogong's mansion. It stands to reason that changing the plaque to be called Qiyang Wangfu is fine. Maybe my uncle still wants to keep a low profile.

   During these days when Zhu Biao was not in court, the Ministry of Rites had already conferred the title of Duke Cao Li Zhen as the King of Qiyang, and Zhu Shouqian, the grandson of King Zhu Xinglong of Nanchang, as the King of Jingjiang.

   It sounds like a major event, but after all, these two families are relatives of the emperor, and it is not a big deal to be crowned king, let alone the title of county king without a feudal land.

  On the contrary, the Ministry of Rites is still discussing the regulations for the canonization specifications of the fifth son of the emperor, Zhu Xi, who is more difficult to handle, especially the title of King Wu.

   You must know that the imperial court has conferred three princes and princes. It is not too difficult to have a precedent to follow. It can be seen that the Ministry of Rites is concerned about the prince's thoughts.

   From the subtleties, we can see how Zhu Biao's prestige in the court is. Tomorrow there will be sun and moon, and sometimes there will be two masters, and the world will accept it.

  Zhu Biao's movement is naturally particularly eye-catching. There is still a distance from Cao Guogong's mansion, and Li Zhen has already seen Li Zhen leading his family to greet him in front of the mansion.

   "Veteran Li Zhen respectfully welcomes His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness is blessed forever."

  Zhu Biao bent down to help Li Zhen and said, "Why should my nephew and nephew come to visit my uncle in person? It won't be like this in the future."

   After a few words of politeness, she was welcomed into the main hall. Li Zhen was still wearing mended clothes, and she only had a crown of ebony hair on her head. She was thin and simple.

   "Why hasn't the plaque at the door of the house been changed, but the Ministry of Industry hasn't finished sending it?"

  Li Zhen waved his hand and said: "The old minister is already ashamed to enjoy the wealth and wealth left by Princess Cao Guochang. Now he has to rely on his son's meritorious service in the frontier to be nominated. I really dare not accept it."

"The old minister has already passed the tribute to the sage. This king's honor is not a minister's, which is equivalent to those who have no merit in the family and country. Let Wen Zhong take the title directly. The old minister lives in the Duke's mansion and doesn't want to change it. I beg your Highness to understand. "

Seeing this, Zhu Biao stopped persuading him, knowing that cherishing blessings and nourishing one's health is the way to live a long life, so you shouldn't force it. What's more important is that Li Wenzhong can successfully take over Chang Yuchun's military power in northern Xinjiang, not the name s things

After asking about Li Zhen's recent health, Zhu Biao got up and said goodbye. As the only surviving elder of the Zhu family, Li Zhen had to come and visit him due to emotion and reason. What's more, Li Zhen behaved modestly, and Zhu Biao respected him in his heart. of.

Leave some nutritious products and drive towards the Kaiping Palace. The Chang family is Zhu Biao's wife's family. Although Master Taishan is not here, the mother-in-law must also be filial. specially prepared.

  Kaiping Prince's Mansion is naturally very dignified. There are two archways built in front of the mansion to commend his great achievements.

   Mrs. Lan of Kaiping Wang came out to greet her, Chang Yuchun and Chang Mao were not there, brother-in-law Chang Sheng was too young, Liu Jin and others moved the gifts down, Zhu Biao got up and left after a short while in the main hall.

  Changfu is huge, in fact, it is a bit beyond the limit, there are nine large and small ponds in its garden alone, known as Nine Lotus Ponds, and the peach blossoms, willows, greenery and lotus fragrance spread for ten miles in the garden in summer.

  But these details are nothing compared to Chang Yuchun's ability and loyalty. I didn't look at my father and said nothing. It can be seen that even Zhu Yuanzhang will turn a blind eye to a capable and loyal talent.

   Then there is Zhu Shouqian's mansion who has changed the plaque from the Nanchang Palace to the Jingjiang Palace. Zhu Shouqian has matured a lot since he was granted the title, at least he is more well-founded than last time.

  Only Zhu Shouqian is qualified to receive Zhu Biao in the palace. His biological mother is not Zhu Wenzheng's first wife, and Lao Zhu and Empress Ma have always looked down on this woman, and have never given her a serious name.

  Zhu Biao looked at his nephew with low brow and pleasing eyes and said: "The Holy Majesty attaches great importance to you, and he has named you King of Jingjiang. Although it has not been confirmed yet, in the future, he still intends to let you be a vassal of Guilin."

"Guilin is an important town in the west of Lingxi. It lays the watch of five mountains, connects Guangdong and Guangxi, shields Jingheng, suppresses cross seas, rests on mountains and leads rivers, and controls thousands of miles. It is a meeting place in the southwest and sends troops to the cardinal. This important place I have entrusted you with the hope that you can prudently strengthen the border and guard the royal family, so you must study martial arts and martial arts well, and stop being playful."

   "My nephew respectfully obeys my uncle's teachings!"

   "Since that's the case, I won't bother you to study. Uncle brought you Korean ginseng and Liaodong snow clam cream. You should use it for reading on weekdays. You still have to take care of your body."

  Zhu Shouqian hurriedly said: "Uncle has a lot of things to do every day, and I can find time to come to my nephew's house during his busy schedule. Anyway, I should serve the meals. My mother just made some dishes by herself, and I have to thank my uncle for his kindness face to face."

  Liu Jin and other serving servants lowered their heads even lower, Zhu Biao got up without changing his face and said, "Next time, I will visit the Mansion of Hell."

Going straight to the door, he turned his head and said to Zhu Shouqian who was blushing slightly: "You are a descendant of the Zhu family, your mother and concubine have gone with your father, and only your aunt is staying here, don't mess with the rules. "

   Immediately strode away, Zhu Shouqian hurriedly followed, somewhat distraught, sent the prince and uncle to the car, and sent the car to drive away after praying. When he returned to the side hall, he saw a graceful and beautiful woman waiting with a sad expression.

  Zhu Shouqian's still immature face showed a few traces of sinisterness, Chen sighed: "Your uncle, the crown prince, is said to be very affectionate with the young couple of the crown prince. Why do you humiliate your mother like this?"

There were only a few confidantes serving in the hall, so Zhu Shouqian stopped trying to hide it, and angrily sat on the upper seat and said viciously: "Obviously I should be the king of Nanchang, but I only gave me a king of Jingjiang. Drive me to Guilin and other places, don't you want to die together?"

The sadness on Chen's face disappeared, and hatred appeared on her originally beautiful face: "The prince values ​​fame, it is impossible to take such a risk, son, you still have to ask the emperor and the queen more, and take advantage of their treatment of you. My father is still ashamed, I have to return to the fief soon."

  Zhu Shouqian smashed the teacup beside him and said: "What's the use of enfeoffing the land? Last time I went to help the second uncle for several hours to get the news. Even if there is a fief, the prince will also cut down the feudal domain when he ascends the throne in the future."
