Chapter 226: Forward and backward
After the next dynasty, Zhu Biao followed his father back to the imperial study, and the pieces that needed to be reviewed today were also sent, and the top one was the piece of the beggar bones retired written by Li Shanchang himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked it up and looked at it and said: "This is the fourth time, you can also respond, you can go tomorrow." ”
Zhu Biao nodded and promised, Li Shanchang probably guessed that now was the right time, so he dared to officially retire before Zhu Biao returned to Fengyang.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and sighed: "Li Shanchang can be described as a very popular minister, so he doesn't care about adding a little more to him, and it can be regarded as setting an example for the civil officials behind, so that they know that as long as they are loyal to the country, they can enjoy honor." ”
Zhu Biao understood as soon as he heard it, Zhu Yuanzhang was planning to let Li Shanchang enjoy the Taimiao, until now Zhu Yuanzhang had not promised anyone about it, and the founding heroes who followed him were staring at it.
Taimiao is the emperor's temple, that is, the place to worship the ancestors, this kind of place to worship the ancestors in the Xia Dynasty has, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the place to worship the emperor's ancestors is called the temple.
As the ancestral temple of the emperor's own family, it is enshrined in the emperor's parents, and it is well-deserved to be kowtowed and bowed by the emperors of later generations, but later in order to praise some meritorious heroes, people who are not relatives of the emperor or distant relatives are allowed to enjoy the temple.
And these people who are worthy of enjoying the Taimiao are the same as the first emperors, they can be bowed and kowtowed by the emperors and princes of later generations, and enjoy large-scale sacrifices, which is the highest honor for a deceased person in ancient times, because the emperor is nothing more than this after his death.
For the people of the feudal era, this is unthinkable, although there is no actual benefit to enjoy the Taimiao, but for the ancients, especially the feudal courtiers, this is a great honor, but also their lifelong pursuit.
Now that there is confidence in the court that he can enjoy the Taimiao, Xu Da Chang Yuchun is left, and it stands to reason that Tang He also has this qualification, but he has just been cut off the title, and no one knows what Zhu Yuanzhang's mind is.
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Then tomorrow, after the ministers go to the Changsha palace to read the will, they will set off directly back to Fengyang, and the ministers will have to watch them in person before the winter." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was actually reluctant to let his son go back so soon, but when he became a father, he said without raising his head: "I know, and Fengyang is our hometown, and those original people should be appeased." ”
Zhu Biao bowed down and promised, and when he was about to withdraw, a sentence came from inside: "Come to your mother's place for dinner in the evening." ”
Zhu Biao responded with a smile, and then walked out of the imperial study and walked towards the outside of the palace, today is Yang Xian's birthday, and it is estimated that it will be his last time, of course Zhu Biao has to join in the fun.
Zhu Yuanzhang's current attitude is to support Yang Xian, everyone knows that after a few days Li Shanchang officially hands over his official duties, Yang Xian will become the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and countless people want to take advantage of this opportunity to climb the relationship, and the door of the prime minister's house will not be easy to enter in the future.
Only a few people at the top know that Yang Xian is just an abandoned son who was pushed out by the emperor, if Zhu Yuanzhang really cherishes Yang Xian, then he should be sent out now, so that he has time to clean up the previous mess, instead of being so anxious to put him on the throne.
If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster, Yang Xian has taken too big steps over the years, in order to pursue political achievements, there are many loopholes left, as long as the emperor is not supportive, Hu Weiyong and others have the handle to send him to the guillotine at any time.
However, officials below the third grade can't see it, after all, they haven't entered that circle yet, and naturally there won't be so many people in the officialdom who will tell you thoroughly, everything depends on themselves.
It's time for lunch break, there is a lot of traffic in front of the Yang Mansion, the officials are wearing regular clothes and holding gifts, and someone in front of the door is holding a pen to record, so that they look rich and noble.
Zhu Biao's frame was close to naturally someone reported, and after a while, a large group of people poured out of the Yang Mansion, and Yang Xian ran in the front, he never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could come, after all, Zhu Biao is also known for his busy affairs.
After thinking about it deeply, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked with the Holy Lord, could it be that the Holy Lord asked His Royal Highness to cheer him on, and the rest of the people also had this idea, after all, Yang Xian and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have never had any intersection.
Zhu Biao stepped out of the frame, and a large number of people had already knelt down in front of him, and Yang Xian took the lead and said: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Qianqiu,"
Zhu Biao waved them to get up: "Today is your birthday, and this palace is also here to celebrate you, so there is no need to be polite." ”
The group of people happily hugged Zhu Biao into the Yang Mansion, the furnishings inside are also average, the courtyard is not big, not to mention the house, because there are too many people coming, there are really several tables in the courtyard.
Zhu Biao smiled and said to Yang Xian on the side: "This palace sees that you have received a lot of congratulatory gifts today, and it is enough to change to a larger house." ”
Yang Xian hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Highness said that it was a joke, what my colleagues gave was just some snacks and fruits." ”
Zhu Biao then joked a few words, he didn't come to make trouble today, not to mention that this kind of thing is inevitable at any time, and he can't send it in the open and in secret?
The low-grade petty officials in the courtyard or those distant relatives of the Yang family were naturally not qualified to greet His Royal Highness the Prince, and now they were all kneeling on both sides, and Zhu Biao was directly led into the main hall in the middle, and the dishes inside were also replaced with new ones.
After Yang Xian waited for Zhu Biao to sit down, he sat down on the side, and the rest of the people also had a number in their hearts, and those who were qualified sat down on the side. Unqualified, he bowed to Zhu Biao and went to the table on the other side of the room.
Zhu Biao first said a few words to Yang Xian to celebrate his birthday, so that he drank several glasses of wine in a row, and his face turned red, Yang Xian is also a smart person, even if he is a little better now, but he also guessed that he has walked to the edge of the cliff.
Either he ascended to the sky in one step, or he fell into a declining cliff, could he not know that he had taken a big step, but this step was not up to him from Yangzhou, he was just pushed to this point.
was also forced to face Huaixi Xungui, now victory is in sight, Li Shanchang has stepped down, Huaixi Xungui only defended in the face of his suppression, but he was even more panicked at this time, because he never thought that he could really do this.
At this time, he became more and more insecure, this birthday was held in order to take the opportunity to distinguish between friend and foe, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally drove behind it to mean that it did not represent the meaning of the saint.
Zhu Biao only had the time to take a look at it at this time, most of them were civil officials of the Eastern Zhejiang Party, especially the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, as well as the newly appointed Ministry of Household Affairs, but he didn't expect Yang Xian to have three supporters in the Sixth Ministry.
Although the most important official secretary did not win it, it is enough to manage it well and be a prime minister, after all, there are imperial historians, and the official department is not very restrictive to high-ranking officials.
