Chapter 215: Monarchs and Ministers Know Each Other

In the next few days, Zhu Biao really floated in the clouds for too long, and it was the first time in his life that he worked so hard, as if he had walked with his feet for the first time.

Since they are all down-to-earth, let's take a good walk, the local people's livelihood is cumbersome, the orders are not clear, everything needs to be supervised and corrected, and the officials of Fengyang Mansion are not lazy, Zhu Biao has promoted several officials, which has stimulated many people.

Jiupin sesame officials are also officials, officials are different from officials, these are only those who have been officials, so the enthusiasm of the grassroots officials in Fengyang Mansion is high, how can the small profits be comparable to the bright future.

Of course, there are also officials who are dissatisfied with this and come to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to regain his fame, Zhu Biao did not reprimand, but the facts look at the results, the enthusiasm of the officials has risen, and the administrative efficiency has also risen.

Of course, Zhu Biao's explanation did not satisfy the officials, their traditional concept did not allow these people to be anti-guest-oriented, Zhu Biao understood this, but he was not ready to retract his fate, and the officials had no choice.

In all respects, they have nothing to do with Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao is the prince of the country, and he is in charge of tens of thousands of troops, the military and political power is in his hands, and the officials have all fallen to him, and none of the usual methods of dealing with the boss can work.

can only continue to play to the court, and do not expect the Holy Lord to order a reprimand of His Highness, but only hope to beat the officials promoted by His Highness back to their original form, and they believe that the ministers in the court will approve of them.

The fact is just as they expected, the officials didn't want the officials to stand up, so there was indeed a debate in the early dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang watched coldly, and everyone didn't dare to say a word about the prince's fault, just said that the officials were treacherous.

It's a pity that this matter can't be done, Zhu Yuanzhang will never allow things that damage the prestige of the prince, in fact, he doesn't like officials to become officials, after all, most of the people who can become officials are the children of the local gentry.

But Zhu Biao has been promoted, and those officials have Zhu Biao's mark on their bodies, and now what is it to beat them back to their original shape, several bigwigs in the court have also seen it, so they are silent.

In the end, Yang Xian stood up and said: "Fengyang Mansion has been war-torn for a long time, the people's livelihood has withered, His Royal Highness has personally relocated more than 200,000 people, and now it is necessary to properly resettle it, and all of you colleagues who have served in local positions know the difficulty of this......."

The rest of the people silently listened to Yang Xian's impassioned narration, Yang Xian is now in the limelight, and Li Shanchang, the only one who can suppress him, has been pretending to be asleep, and Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair finally has a smile on his face.

At this time, Yang Xian kept telling about the hard work of His Royal Highness the Prince, and suddenly the conversation changed: "His Royal Highness has worked so hard, but he has promoted a few outstanding talents from among the officials, and the official positions awarded are not high, why not?" His Royal Highness is my Ming Prince, for the country to promote capable ministers and officials that is the great fortune of the country, now there are some short-sighted people, stuck in the difference between officials and officials, hindering His Highness's plan, the minister asks the Holy Decree to punish! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep look at Yang Xian, this kind of talent is really a pity, what Yang Xian said is pure, but he can say what the emperor wants to hear, and he can also suppress other officials with righteousness.

After Yang Xian finished speaking, he kept bowing down, his eyes looked at the floor of Fengtian Palace, and the voices of other officials shouted in his ears, saying that he didn't dare to target His Royal Highness the Prince, but just talked about the matter.

Yang Xian was disdainful in his heart, the saint loved the prince very much, how could he be willing to let His Royal Highness be swept away, not to mention that he promoted a few officials, even if he was given a title, the court could only recognize it.

What's more, he is also a subordinate official of the East Palace, although he is not very close to His Royal Highness, but after all, there is this relationship, and when His Royal Highness returns to Beijing, he will be close to him, and he heard that His Royal Highness likes to put pieces, so he just collected some.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted the royal case: "Okay, we have already ordered the relocation plan to be related to the national policy, everything over there in Fengyang Mansion is subject to the prince's arrangement, and the officials of the six ministries must cooperate, but they have promoted a few errands, what's so troublesome about this little thing!" ”

The officials saw that the emperor slapped the table, and hurriedly bowed down and stood solemnly, and they were relieved after listening to the emperor's words, which meant that it was a trivial matter, and they all shouted in unison: "The ministers are guilty, please calm the anger of the saint." ”

Then the court returned to calm, everyone was just a statement, the officials did not want the officials to be promoted to officials at will, Yang Xian reprimanded them on behalf of the emperor, saying that this is an imperial concession, you can't control it.

At the end of the early dynasty, Li Shanchang, who had been standing at the forefront of the officials like a log, took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground and said to Zhu Yuanzhang in a deep voice: "The old minister is playing the saint, the minister is old and frail, and he has been sick recently, and the affairs of the dynasty are becoming more and more burdensome. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked down to help Li Shanchang with his own hands and said: "Why did the good chief say this, if you are not in good health, let's ask the imperial doctor to show you, and if you are tired of government affairs, then go back to the house to recuperate for a few months, we can't do without you, and the court can't do without you, and there is no need to mention the matter of retirement!" ”

Li Shanchang held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and burst into tears, and the rest of the officials were also comforting on the side, Li Shanchang choked up a few times and said: "How can the minister be willing to be saintly, the old minister has followed you for many years, but he has not yet repaid the grace of his acquaintance, but it is a pity that he is getting older and more confused, where do you dare to occupy the position of prime minister, please let the saint let the minister return to his hometown, if the minister has an afterlife, he should continue to lead the horse and whip for the saint." ”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had expected this scene a long time ago, and this was also arranged by him personally, he was still a little sad to look at Li Shanchang, whose hair was already gray, how high-spirited Li Shanchang was when he first met, and how happy the monarch and ministers were to know that they had become a great cause.

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched Li Shanchang's hand and said: "Your merits are only known to me, you and I are of the same heart, and we will die to win the world, and now the work is not finished, how can I retreat, this matter cannot be mentioned again." ”

Li Shanchang saw that hesitation flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and his tears flowed faster, he could feel that Zhu Yuanzhang was really reluctant to him, and that was enough.

His Li Shanchang's decades of follow-up and service have not been in vain, he never expected Zhu Yuanzhang to change his mind, but this trace of hesitation is enough, it is really enough, who is the saint, that is the unparalleled hero.

Li Shanchang teary-eyed and then requested, Zhu Yuanzhang let go of his hand and walked back to the dragon chair: "Li Qi, the prince of Changsha, is talented and intelligent, and I specially allow him to marry my eldest daughter, Princess Lin'an, and be named the captain of the horse, and the Ministry of Rites will select a good day and an auspicious day." ”

Li Shanchang trembled and fell to his knees, his retirement was a matter that had been set a long time ago, and it was also a tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister, and last month the saint had already decreed that the daughter of the Li family should be canonized as the prince's concubine, but now he let the Li family's sister-in-law, Princess Shang, that is the saint's friendship with him.
