Chapter 285: Wild and Untamable
I have to say that I am used to eating exquisite imperial meals, and it is really good to occasionally eat a meal of duck blood soup and freshly baked baked cakes, Zhu Biao ate three of them, and after eating, he leaned back on the chair and asked: "Why is my father happy, is it possible that there is good news from the southwest?" ”
The roasted cake with duck blood soup has a special meaning to Lao Zhu, and he is reluctant to eat it on days when he is not particularly happy, Zhu Yuanzhang patted his belly and said: "We are so shallow-eyed, don't ask knowingly, you kid." ”
Zhu Biaole said hehehe: "The imperial doctor is not sure, if you are not pregnant with your father, don't be disappointed, Luo Hua was a little nervous after receiving the reward from his father and mother, for fear of making you happy in vain." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang instantly straightened his waist and said: "This is our negligence, you go back to appease more, let her not be tired, we know very well what virtues those guys in the hospital are, since they dare to report it, it is eight or nine will not leave ten, and it is estimated that the pulse will be obvious in half a month." ”
Zhu Biao, who was talking, noticed the joy in the corners of his father's eyes and eyebrows, speaking of which Lao Zhu himself was about to have twenty children, but except for the first few, the rest was like that, and there was nothing worth rejoicing about.
And now that he heard that he had grandchildren, his high-spirited joy was close to when his wife was pregnant with Biao'er, Zhu Yuanzhang was too satisfied with this unborn child, and it came at the right time.
And his mother family also made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied, as soon as the child was born, the Chang family would be completely tied to death in the carriage of the Zhu family, becoming Zhu Biao's most important support in the military in the future, and when the child grew up, the Chang family would also strive to maintain orthodoxy, which is also what he wants to see.
Zhu Yuanzhang has done his best to cultivate his eldest son from the beginning in order to give Daming a good start, and the inheritance of the eldest son is not the best method, but it is definitely the safest.
It is indeed a problem for relatives to be strong, but Zhu Yuanzhang is not worried, not to mention that Chang Mao's qualifications are average, which is destined to be after Chang Yuchun, the Chang family will slowly decline, and at that time, the military power will be completely withdrawn to the imperial court, and the honor and disgrace of the nobles will be in the emperor's thoughts.
The father and son looked at each other and had a tacit understanding, the current situation in Daming is very good, everything is thriving, and the plans laid out are also being actively carried out, but it will take a little time.
During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang, in addition to dealing with the necessary performances, basically handed over all administrative powers to Zhongshu Province, and carried out it in accordance with the ten-year plan of governing the country and enriching the people presented by Hu Weiyong that year.
I have to say that Hu Weiyong is indeed a capable minister, and there is no problem with the national policy in the first two years, if it weren't for his deep involvement with Huaixi Xungui, Zhu Yuanzhang would be reluctant to send such a talent to a dead end, but now he can only survive in politics.
The father and son walked out of the palace and walked around the front palace square, the sun set late in the summer, and it was still very bright outside at night, Zhu Biao asked casually: "Why hasn't Hu Weiyong moved yet?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with his hands behind his back: "Yang Xian fell in front of him, how can he take it as a warning, now Hu Weiyong is quite strict with himself and lenient with others." ”
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "It's not a good thing to be lenient in officialdom, those people in Huaixi are very arrogant now, I'm afraid they will cause a lot of trouble, Hu Weiyong relies on his official position to help them solve it, it is a taboo." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "Don't worry, let's take a look, now that the situation is stable, some people can't be idle, and there will be more ghosts, snakes and gods in the future." ”
Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this, the people who survived the battle naturally had to eat dividends, and those who were not satisfied had to eat what was in their own bowl and looked at what was in other people's pots, which would be more troublesome in the next two or three years.
Hu Weiyong came to this point, there are some things he doesn't want to carry, otherwise how can the people below agree, this official has guarded each other a few times, and the interests of you and me will be deep, and in the future, it will be both prosperity and loss.
In fact, it's not that Zhu Yuanzhang is playing a trick on them, if they all know what it means to be content and happy, then no one can help the founding nobles, it's just that Zhu Yuanzhang knows those old brothers too well, they are all wolf cubs who grew up in troubled times, not Taiping dogs.
They are accustomed to relying on their minions to hunt and eat meat, and they will not honestly wait for the court to give them bones to gnaw, the enemy is eaten up, then they will eat the people at the bottom, and no one wants to gnaw bones when they are used to eating meat, in their eyes, those people are just fat sheep in captivity, and they are not of the same class.
Their mercy was abandoned long ago when they were young, otherwise they would not have rushed out of the mountain of blood and corpses in the troubled times, and rushed all the way to the level of the imperial nobles, but Zhu Yuanzhang, the head wolf, has reached the top in victory after victory, and he is no longer the wolf king who only thinks about killing and eating meat to survive.
Perhaps when he was called King Wu in the land of Jinling, he was no longer the head wolf of the wolf pack, his ambition shifted from meat to this vast country, Jinling Tiger was in the land of Longpan, and he changed since then, and the wolves around him still only thought about eating meat, but at that time they still had enemies.
And now Zhu Yuanzhang has become the only true dragon in the world, and it is his duty to shepherd the world, and the wolves who have won all battles have become the biggest threat, even the real dragon cannot eliminate their wildness.
Zhu Biao thought silently for a while, whether it was the nobles in the capital, or the nobles who went north and south to guard various places, they were all familiar to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao never doubted their loyalty.
But they will not suppress themselves because of their loyalty, they will not be greedy and pervert the law, in their eyes this is not a conflict, they are not greedy for rebellion, they just want to enjoy more wealth and enjoyment, is it possible to go back to their hometown to farm after the battle?
The original excellent mood of the father and son suddenly became a little depressed, the fate of the nobles is actually in their own hands, as long as they don't bend the law for bribes and then collude with colleagues to cover up their crimes, then Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement is useless to them, and Hu Weiyong will not go to a dead end without that force.
But the reality is that some of them know that greed will not end well, but they still can't control themselves, this dead end is pushed by the desire in human nature, even if Zhu Yuanzhang scolds and scolds the lesson, they can't pull them back, greed is addictive, and there is no turning back after tasting the sweetness.
Zhu Yuanzhang now has the country in his hands, and his son and excellent grandson are about to have him, but he wants to bury a group of old brothers and their children and grandchildren with his own hands, Zhu Yuanzhang hasn't mentioned them since the founding of the country?
No, they are so dry that their mouths are about to wear out, and they are afraid that they will not understand what they say too vaguely, and they can't wait to crush the truth and stuff it into their brains.
But they all knelt down crying and shouted something to listen to the hadith, Zhu Yuanzhang could only sigh indifferently in the end, he knew that none of them went to their hearts, and they were still that virtuous.
