The father and son walked around the imperial garden alone, and saw a few concubines in the distance on the road, and they didn't dare to come forward to speak, so they all saluted and avoided it.

Zhu Biao recalled the face of the Yan Shenggong and said, "Erchen looks at the Yan Shenggong's body and doesn't seem to be very good. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Last year, we summoned Kong Kejian to meet him, but he said that he was sick in bed, so he sent his son to explain the reason why his father could not come to congratulate the emperor of the new dynasty.

Zhu Biao laughed when he heard this, this is why Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, can do such a thing, even the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty have great respect for the Yansheng Mansion, and it is impossible to let the dignified Yan Shenggong come to the court with illness.

Zhu Biao said meaningfully: "The Kong family is too noble in the hearts of the people in the world, and just now not only the ministers but also the two princes welcomed them in person. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank: "Li Shanchang is enough, Tang and that guy are also having fun!" ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Erchen sees that the situation in the DPRK and China is already a little tense, and Erchen still wants to ask his godfather and emperor, how to deal with these?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Just after the founding of the country, the power of Wuxun is huge, originally Xu Da Chang Yuchun was fighting outside, so the leader of the Huaixi Party is Li Shanchang, and now Xu Da and Chang Yuchun have taken away a lot of Li Shanchang's authority. Tang He thought he was the boss and was unwilling to succumb to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's two younger brothers, so he got close to Li Shanchang. ”

Then he stopped and pointed out to his son: "The current situation is actually very good, Li Shanchang is in charge of the text, Xu Da is often in the spring of the martial arts, and these people are not the same heart." ”

"In addition to these two factions, there is also the royalist party headed by Li Wenzhong, and in addition to the three forces, there are the imperial historians headed by Liu Bowen, plus the pro-army governor's mansion to supervise the Quartet, so under the mutual checks and balances, the emperor's authority can be demonstrated!"

Zhu Biao bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang to express his education, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed a few times and pulled up his son, and then the father and son went to have lunch together.

In the evening, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Li Shanchang to represent him and feasted on Yan Shenggong, everyone who ate that meal was very silent, and the people in Yan Shenggong's mansion looked uneasy, this was the emperor's expression of attitude towards them, Li Shanchang did not lose his enthusiasm in the morning after saying a few words.

The next morning, Zhu Biao first went to have breakfast with Zhu Yuanzhang and then went to Fengtian Hall together, and when he arrived, all the civil and military officials had already stood according to the rules.

The father and son went up from the side, and Zhu Biao stopped after going up the six steps, turned around and stood on the throne.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat directly on the throne and swept his eyes, and the ministers knelt down neatly and shouted long live!

Zhu Yuanzhang said that the Qing family was flat, and after they got up, he said: "I heard that the Holy Father of Yan has arrived, come in!" ”

After a while, Kong Kejian, the contemporary Shenggong Yan, was helped in by his son Kong Xixue, and the father and son knelt down slowly and with difficulty.

So everyone just watched silently, the clouds in the hearts of the two of them were thicker, and the Ming Emperor didn't even say a kind word......

"Minister Kong Kejian and his son see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

A little smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face and said: "The Qing family has worked hard from afar, let's get even!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked him how old he was, and Kong Kejian said that he was fifty-three years old.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Qing is young and sick, I can't bear to increase my official position, so let's recuperate first!" ”

Kong Xixue was about to say something, but was stopped by Kong Kejian, he looked up at the Zhu family father and son who looked calm above and bowed his head to thank him, there is no way, the Yuan Dynasty still needs the Kong family to support their legitimacy, and the Ming Dynasty does not need it!

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately announced that he would give Kong Kejian a district, a horse, and twenty stones, and then Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Biao: "The descendants of the first saint should be gifted, and raise Yilu without doing anything!" ”

After hearing this, Zhu Biao immediately bowed down and promised, this is the opportunity to be an official of the Confucian family, Kong Kejian, the holy prince of Yan, was named the prince of the country in the Yuan Dynasty, and he was also a big official, but in the Ming Dynasty, he had no official and no position, which is also an interesting thing.

Then no one took care of the father and son of the Kong family anymore, and the imperial court began to operate to deal with its various affairs, in fact, the main thing was to restore the people's livelihood, such as Yangzhou and other places must be grasped and rebuilt at any cost.

Zhu Biao silently absorbed the suggestions of the ministers, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang's decision, these are all valuable assets.

After waiting for the court, Zhu Yuanzhang invited Yan Shenggong Kong Kejian to the Jinshen Hall for talks, Zhu Biao did not join in the excitement, and directly led Chang Yuchun and others back to the East Palace.

The affairs in the Northern Expeditionary Army have been almost arranged, and Zhu Biao arranged a few more trivial things to let them go down.

Nuan Yu walked in and poured him a cup of hot tea, Zhu Biao directly dragged her into his arms, Nuan Yu was naturally hot, and it was very comfortable to hold.

Nuan Yu was originally a little shy, but after seeing that His Royal Highness was just holding her, she was relieved, and her big eyes narrowed into a crescent moon and leaned tightly into Zhu Biao's arms, feeling Zhu Biao's warmth.

Zhu Biao leaned on the chair with Nuan Yu, the hall was magnificent, a little empty, and there was only a pair of teenagers and girls sitting on the throne.

Zhu Biao closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair with satisfaction, gently touched Nuan Yu's back, and thought about the affairs of the Kong family.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's father and son targeted the Kong family, in the final analysis, it was a dispute over the route of governing the world. The ancients have long had the so-called "governing unification" and "Taoist unification" to govern the world.

In short, "governing unification" refers to the implementation of the use of actual political power to govern the world; "Taoism" refers to the ideas and theories that govern society and guide various relationships in society.

"Governing the system" is inherited by the kings who hold the powerful state apparatus, and its power can be seen everywhere; Although the "Taoism" seems to be relatively illusory, its influence is subtle and long-standing.

Therefore, in ancient times, there were many literati who lived in poor countryside and had four walls, but when they had the opportunity, they still had to point out the country, exalt the words, laugh at the wind and clouds, and look at the situation as if there was no one around.

The reason is that they believe that they are the heirs of the "Taoist system".

The unification of the emperor is the "rule of the country", and the unity of Confucianism is the "Taoist system", and the emperors of the past dynasties have also recognized the "Taoist system" of Confucianism.

However, when it came to Zhu Yuanzhang, this set did not work, he not only had to be the emperor who controlled political power, but also the "leader" of ideology.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he ordered the sick Yan Shenggong to come to Nanjing to meet him, because what Zhu Yuanzhang needed was not only the attitude of the descendants of the saint towards his emerging dynasty, but also the intention of removing all symbols representing "Taoism". Let the people of the world understand that it is no longer possible to look at the old yellow calendar.

Try to look at today's domain, it is no longer the world of Confucian Confucianism, but the world of the Zhu Ming Dynasty!
