Chapter Seventy-Four: Wishful Thinking

Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace on his own, and after a while, Li Shanchang came to ask to see him, and Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin to lead him in.

Li Shanchang walked in with a calm face, and looked at Zhu Biao above and knelt directly on the ground: "Minister Li Shanchang has no way to teach his son, please punish His Highness!"

Zhu Biao walked down quickly with a smile on his face, personally helped Li Shanchang and said, "It's just a young man's spirit, and this palace is just for Li Gong to say tomorrow." ”

Li Shanchang arched his hand and said: "After that son of a son returns home, he has already been personally practiced by the minister, and when he can go to the ground, let him go to the East Palace to apologize to His Highness!" ”

Zhu Biao frowned and said: "What's the matter, the king of Changsha has worked hard, and the palace has already punished Li Qi's matter." ”

Zhu Biao instructed Liu Jin on the side: "You personally lead the imperial doctor to the Changsha Palace." ”

Zhu Biao exchanged a few more polite words with Li Shanchang, and then the two of them went back to their respective chairs and sat down.

Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and said: "The palace has just come back from Kunning Palace, and my father is in poor health because of the case!" ”

Li Shanchang hurriedly got up and asked, "The Holy Lord's body is fine, what did the Imperial Doctor say?" ”

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said, "It's not a big problem, it's just a little too tired." ”

Li Shanchang hurriedly pleaded guilty: "This is the incompetence of the ministers. ”

Zhu Biao said: "It seems that there are too many government affairs, can't it go on like this, I don't know if the prime minister intends to add some manpower to the six departments?" ”

As soon as Li Shanchang's heart moved, he knew that the main drama was coming: "The appointment and dismissal of the six ministries and the addition of positions are all decided by the saint, how can the ministers intervene." ”

Zhu Biao smiled and didn't speak, it is true that the emperor can make a decision to add positions in the six departments, but there is so much power in total, you Li Shanchang is not separated from your hands, so what is the use of Zhu Yuanzhang adding a few vacant positions for the elderly!

Li Shanchang saw Zhu Biao's smile and silent appearance, and knew that he could only admit this matter, his son gave him the handle, and he apologized without cutting his flesh, and then the Li family would have an accident sooner or later.

Li Shanchang thought for a moment and said, "The minister's youngest daughter also came back crying just now. ”

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and said, "But this palace scared the daughter of your mansion?"

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he ordered: "Come on, pick some jewelry from the palace treasury and send it to the Changsha Palace!" ”

Li Shanchang stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "The minister originally thought that he was scared, but the minister's old wife forced Fang Zhi to ask Fang Zhi, the little girl has admired His Highness for a long time, and now that his brother has angered His Highness, she is very sad!" ”

Only then did Zhu Biao understand Li Shanchang's plan, Li Qi angered Zhu Biao, even if Zhu Biao was not angry, but he would never reuse the Li family in the future, unless the Li family made a thorough statement.

Zhu Biao smiled and said to the eunuch on the side: "There is a jade ruyi given by the saint in the library, and I will also send it over." ”

Li Shanchang nodded with satisfaction, the crown prince and concubine have been decided, but the side concubine has not yet been decided.

The two of them didn't talk about the positions of the six departments again, and the matter had already been decided.

Li Shanchang said to Zhu Biao that he would do his best to supply the materials of the army, so that Zhu Biao would not have any worries!

The two talked happily, and in the afternoon, Li Shanchang had to deal with government affairs before it was over.

After he left, Zhu Biao leaned back in his chair relaxedly, Li Shanchang's statement was already obvious, this is a good thing!

In this way, Li Shanchang will not have too many scruples, and when he comes back this time, Zhu Biao will really start to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court.

Changing some maladministrations, forming a cabinet, redefining commercial taxes, building ships to go to sea, reopening the Silk Road, and a series of other things.

Zhu Biao wanted to do these things for a long time, but because of his young age, his lack of prestige in the court, and the lack of henchmen under him, he kept delaying it.

Of course, it will take a long time to complete these things, and when the matter of forming the Jinyi Guard is back, it should also be put on the agenda, not only to inspect hundreds of officials, but also to let them go to the Western Regions of the South Seas and Japan to survey the terrain and make some preparations for the future.

After Zhu Biao dealt with the matter, he was not in a hurry to report to Zhu Yuanzhang, it was impossible for him to send Yu Ruyi to Changsha Palace, it was impossible to hide from Zhu Yuanzhang, this kind of thing was obvious.

Zhu Biao felt a little tired, so he went back to the dormitory to sleep.

Zhu Biao woke up in the afternoon, Yun Jin waited for him to wash his face, Zhu Biao was about to go to the yard to take a turn when he saw three brothers sitting on the steps at the door, Zhu Biao walked over and asked, "When did you come?" ”

Zhu Fan replied with a smile: "After sitting for a while, we met the queen mother, and then we went to meet our respective concubines. ”

Zhu Biao nodded, and then the third child said, "Big brother, I heard that you are angry?" ”

Zhu Biao said: "How far have you three run, and you haven't come back for so long." ”

Zhu Di said: "It's all the third brother, I have to chase your deer, or we can see the big brother show his might!" ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "It's just a beating, how will they happen after I leave?" ”

Zhu Fan said: "After we go back, they will go down the mountain, and they are all absent-minded. ”

Zhu Biao nodded, and sat on the steps with his three younger brothers: "Fourth, have you seen your daughter-in-law?" ”

The second and third children also looked at Zhu Di with great interest: "I almost forgot to ask, are you satisfied with the fourth!" ”

Zhu Di stiffened his neck and replied: "Hmph, how can I have the strength to look at her, and besides, she is already engaged if she is not satisfied!" ”

Zhu Biao didn't continue to ask, looked at the trees in the courtyard and said: "It's about to go on an expedition, the three of you should be careful for me, don't always think about charging into battle, the arrows on the battlefield don't recognize you as the prince!" ”

Seeing the three younger brothers nodding, Zhu Biao said with bitter words: "No matter how strong your martial arts are, how many enemy soldiers can you kill alone?" Even Xiang Yu knew that the sword was an enemy of one person, and it was not enough to learn from ten thousand enemies. Can you compare your bravery to the overlord? ”

"I beg my father to let you out, not to let you have fun, follow the generals to learn the knowledge of marching and fighting and managing the army, these will be useful to you in the future!"

The three brothers looked at each other and said, "Big brother, we are princes, it's not good to learn this..."

Zhu Biao was happy, he knew that these were not so simple, Zhu Biao thought about it for a while, and said bluntly: "When all the enemy troops in the territory are destroyed, my father will definitely take back the military power of the generals, who will guard the frontier at that time?" And those counties that are far away from the center, how can they stabilize the world without a garrison? ”

Zhu Di whispered: "I have the military power to dominate the party, how about the division of the feudal town?" ”

Zhu Biao patted Zhu Di's head and said: "There is no way, my Zhu family's foundation is too thin, and the military power of the founding generals will not be collected, and sooner or later there will be chaos!" ”

The three brothers glanced at each other and said, "Big brother, if the father and emperor really divide the kings, we will definitely respect the eldest brother when we get to the fief!" Everything is subject to the will of my father and brother! ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I naturally believe you, but the eldest brother doesn't want to lie to you, and in the end, he still has to cut the domain!" ”
