Chapter 222: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
Zhu Biao smiled and walked into the Lin'an Palace, he forgot what it was originally called, but after Zhu Jingjing was named Princess Lin'an, this place was changed to the Lin'an Palace.
The layout inside is very good, Zhu Biao sat on the top Zhu Jingjing personally found him a cup of tea, and then sat obediently on the side, the palace maids in the house all bowed their heads and breathed, and the princess was favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, and everyone in the palace knew it.
Zhu Biao actually doesn't like to talk when there are a lot of people, but there is no way, my sister always has to avoid suspicion when she is older, so she said: "Li Qi has grown a lot with me this time, and he has helped me do a lot of things on the way, and it is still very good to do it for talents, as for that little thing back then, I have long forgotten it, don't think about it." ”
Zhu Jingjing's eyes widened slightly, and she looked carefully at the expression on Zhu Biao's face, for fear that her brother would say it to comfort her.
Zhu Biao talked about Li Qi's advantages by himself, what is the best to learn, full of poetry and books, personable, gentle and elegant, in short, he has praised everything that can be praised, Zhu Jingjing is becoming more and more at ease, Zhu Biao is becoming more and more angry in his heart, and he has to be angry when he goes back.
With Zhu Biao's skills, Zhu Jingjing naturally couldn't see what he was thinking, and he really thought that his royal brother admired his future husband very much, and the whole person was much sunny, and the little girl thought that things were so simple, but it was okay, Zhu Biao didn't need her to think about anything, just live happily for the rest of her life.
Zhu Biao thought of the princess's mansion that had begun to be built outside, looked at his sister and said: "My father has ordered the Ministry of Works to start building the princess's mansion, if you have any ideas, just say it, and I will let the Ministry of Industry do what you want." ”
The princess of the Ming Dynasty is not married to serve her in-laws, the court will build a princess's mansion, don't say that her father-in-law and mother-in-law, even the concubine only has the right to live in the mansion and has no ownership, everything has to listen to the princess.
After the death of the princess, the princess's descendants returned to the Qing court, and the descendants moved to the Qing court.
If the princess is the first to die, after the horse is full of filial piety, she must also return the mansion and the garden to the court, and I will retire to the original house, only the land and property can continue to enjoy, and the name of the horse will remain unchanged, but this also means that the string will not be renewed, and if the string is renewed, everything must be handed over.
So this mansion is Zhu Jingjing's home for the rest of her life, and Zhu Biao also hopes that she can live comfortably, so she will let her think about what buildings she likes to add.
Of course, this has to be Zhu Biao's order to the Ministry of Industry, the princess can't order the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Jingjing's eyes lit up, and he said that he wanted a garden, and there should be a swing next to the garden.
Zhu Biao responded one by one, and then said when he saw that the time was almost up: "I'm going to Changsha Wangfu now, do you want to go with my brother, I heard that Li Shu has a good relationship with you." ”
Zhu Jingjing hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that I've seen it a few times on the queen mother's side, I still go to the imperial sister-in-law, the imperial sister-in-law knows a lot, and she must know how to decorate the garden to look good." ”
Zhu Biao smiled, his sister is very sensible, Li Shu is Zhu Biao's future crown princess, that is, Li Qi's own sister, so the relationship between Li Shu and Zhu Jingjing should be more intimate, but Chang Luohua is her serious imperial sister-in-law.
Zhu Biao stood up and touched her head and said, "It's still the same sentence, don't think too much, have my brother to support you, just live this life happily." ”
Zhu Jingjing's eyes turned red instantly, she was only in her early teens this year, but her biological mother died early, the nurse was not good to her, and the slaves and maids were not satisfied, so she learned to look at people's faces early.
It wasn't until she won the favor of her brother that her whole life became sunny, and since then, whether it was in the palace of King Wu or in the inner courtyard of the palace, no one dared to despise her anymore, and the food and clothing among the sisters was only a little worse than that of the younger sisters.
Zhu Biao saw that she was about to cry, and hurriedly said: "Your imperial sister-in-law should still be in the East Palace, discuss anything with her, and if it doesn't work, I will find my brother to help you solve it." ”
Zhu Biao was in a good mood after walking out of the palace gate, in fact, to his extent, the greatest happiness is to give, and the happiness of watching others live under his own protection is also a kind of enjoyment, otherwise he has nothing to pursue,
got into the carriage and went to Changsha Wangfu, Li Shanchang got the news and greeted him in front of the door, although he saw it yesterday but did not see it clearly, and now he found that Li Shanchang was indeed a little decadent and old, and suddenly lost his power, and the dignified Li Xiangguo also lost his spirit.
Of course, Zhu Biao is not good to come empty-handed, Liu Jin took out a lot of precious tributes from the frame, which are still difficult for the courtiers to get from all over the world.
The two of them politely entered the front hall and sat down, and the people of the Li family came up to bow to Zhu Biao and went out, it stands to reason that the eldest son should accompany and serve, but Li Qi is still outside, and the concubine is naturally not qualified to serve on the side, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the prince.
Zhu Biao just glanced at it, and there were still a lot of women behind, so he didn't know which one his prince's concubine was, of course, Zhu Biao didn't care too much, he was just curious.
Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and said, "Li Xiang is fine, do you want to go in and take a rest?" ”
Li Shanchang said with a smile: "The old minister is fine, but his energy is not good when he is older, and he has not rested much during this time, but he is still like this." ”
Zhu Biao nodded and glanced at Liu Jin, he immediately led the people in the house out, and Li Shanchang continued: "The day before yesterday, the saint also came to visit the old minister, and asked about the candidate for the next prime minister. ”
Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did Li Xiang recommend Yang Xian or Hu Weiyong?" ”
Li Shanchang said with a smile: "The old minister recommended Liu Bowen. ”
Zhu Biao was a little surprised, he also thought that Li Shanchang would advance by retreating, and first push Yang Xian to power to pave the way for Hu Weiyong.
Li Shanchang took a sip of the teacup, and when he talked about these, Li Shanchang became energetic, looked at the teacup in front of him and said: "In terms of seniority, no matter who wants to be the prime minister, Liu Bowen can't be bypassed." ”
Zhu Biao read an old fox in his heart, no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang didn't let Liu Bowen go, Li Shanchang deliberately pointed out Liu Bowen's status in the court, although his official position and title were far from the top.
But among the civil officials, Li Shanchang has retired, and Wang Guangyang is still in exile, leaving Liu Bowen with the oldest qualifications, coupled with his character, it will inevitably gather a wave of strength, maybe the officials and Shangshu and others have already taken refuge.
That's right, the official department is not a noble, after Li Shanchang retired, he couldn't integrate into Hu Weiyong's family, and he had to face Yang Xian's suppression, and the only one who could help him in the court was Liu Bowen, the only one who could help him.
Zhu Yuanzhang is now watching the fire from the other side, and the struggle between the court is actually very fierce, Yang Xian's Zhedong Party and Hu Weiyong's Huaixi Xungui occupy sixty percent of the court officials, and the rest can stand in it without being disturbed, only Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, these top military bosses.
Both of these people wanted to fight but didn't dare, and everyone knew that the court struggle was allowed by the emperor, but once they touched the military power, they would face purges.
