The people in front of him are all dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, which are completely different from the people Zhu Biao saw on the coast in Fengyang, Zhu Biao looked at the beauty in front of him, but a group of people in coarse cloth and rotten clothes kept appearing in his mind.

In his mind, heaven and man are at war, hard work or a lifetime of pleasure, anyway, the result is the same, his status is as stable as Mount Tai, no matter which way he goes, he can be willful for a lifetime, dominate the overall situation of the world for a hundred years,

Zhu Biao sighed, if he arrived in Hangzhou first, I'm afraid everything would be different, in the end, how many people are willing to work for others all their lives.

Zhu Biao cheered up, there are not only the children of officials in Hangzhou, but also many nearby state capitals rushed here, after all, the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed by Hangzhou has already passed through.

Night tour of the West Lake is naturally an elegant thing, not to mention that there will be so many people gathered, there are already painters began to wave their brushes, this is also the habit of literati, it is estimated that there will be articles tomorrow, and several people who can participate in this matter naturally want to show off.

Now there is no circle of friends Weibo, so naturally you can only show the world that you have participated in the grand event through calligraphy and painting articles, and the basic ancient masterpieces are all from here, such as the Lanting Collection Preface, King Teng Pavilion Preface and so on.

The beautiful scenery of the West Lake is innumerable, and a group of people are not interesting to play, and the handsome men and women under the bright lights are really pleasing to the eye, and no one will not like beautiful things.

After a little more strolling, the officials dispersed in twos and threes, leaving the place for the teenagers, who were very bright all around, probably to take care of the ladies of the various families, and it stands to reason that they should not be out late at night.

Fortunately, there are many people, and my father and brother are also on the side, otherwise it is easy to have an accident, Zhu Biao stood beside a willow and looked at the dark lake, and the boys and girls around him all looked at him, but they all had their own thoughts.

Some people hope to be close to the prince, some people want to return home as soon as possible, and some people want Zhu Biao to get out of the house as soon as possible, after all, the elders let the young ladies go out of the house for a night tour, and they all know what they do.

Among them, there are naturally young couples who have been together for a long time, and they are worried about what the prince will do if he takes a fancy to their sweetheart.

Such a child's heart is naturally a minority, after all, in this era, women are more often just vassals, and the identity of these people is to marry a well-known person casually, and then they can take concubines at will, why care about these.

They want to plan for their careers, and it is a big deal to be favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, and now the imperial examination is just a small road for the imperial court to select officials, and it is more dependent on the recommendation of the state government, as well as the promotion of the upper position.

Zhu Biao is also very tolerant of them, because he is indeed short of people and money, and it will take several years for the Jinshi from the imperial examination to enter the court, and these Jiangnan children have outstanding family backgrounds, even if they lack a little talent, their family will vigorously support them for their careers.

As long as this kind of person gives some hope, he can be thrown to the dilapidated county government casually, and with the help of his family, he can quickly make him rich, and he does not have to worry about their corruption, after all, with their family background, they are not short of that little money.

What they value more is the official rank, to see if they can protect the family in the future, Zhu Biao is short of money, they lack power, and when the Ming Dynasty is in ruins, they can indeed complement each other.

Don't underestimate these clans, Hangzhou City and even the entire Jiangnan can be so rich and their credit is great, although they are more for themselves, but in a certain aspect, the clan is also Zhu Biao's people.

Zhu Biao wants to suppress them, because they have the ability to bite back, but they also have to support them, because they are the most useful people in the early Ming Dynasty, and the imperial power is supreme but they can't plunder at will.

Zhu Biao looked at the shy and timid ladies in the distance, there must be at least three or four women from the Jiangnan family in his East Palace, it doesn't matter who they are, the important thing is that there must be.

It was a little cool late at night, after all, it was not summer yet, everyone first sent Zhu Biao to the carriage, and then bowed down to watch the frame return, and everyone bent down to see each other for a long time before standing up to his waist.

The scene of laughter just now suddenly quieted down, everyone seemed to have taken off the masks on their faces, and the juniors were also standing aside, the atmosphere was a little depressing, and there was no hostility towards each other.

After a long time, the few people led by them glanced at each other, nodded silently, and then led their juniors to leave, they are all allies of interests, and some have even helped each other since the Southern Song Dynasty, and now the situation has changed greatly and they have to work together.

Now that Zhu Ming's country is becoming more and more stable, and the saint is ruthless, the Jiangnan family is like fish and meat, and they are always worried and want to develop in the imperial court, but they are rejected and suppressed by the Huaixi nobles, and if they don't find a chance to be carved up, it will not be far away.

Zhu Biao, who was sitting on the frame, was also constantly thinking at this time, and some words were not reacted on the spot, but at this time, there were quite a lot of connotations in retrospect, and the Jiangnan family was a little too enthusiastic.

It is said that although Zhu Biao is the crown prince, but the current emperor is in good health, and it will take many years for the prince to really call the shots, and there is no need for this, unless they have received a threat and are eagerly seeking refuge at the moment.

It's much simpler to think about it like this, the Jiangnan clan has an extraordinary heritage, but they are trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are few people in the clan above the court, and there is no one who occupies a high position.

Zhu Biao's eyebrows rose slightly, it seems that their wealth has aroused the greed of the Huaixi bigwigs, and the family is not reluctant to have some silver, but the status gap between the two sides is too big, and simply cutting meat cannot be exchanged for peace at all.

What kind of virtue are the people in Huaixi, Zhu Biao naturally knows very well, they are loyal dogs in front of their father and son, but they are hungry wolves in front of others, they are poor and afraid of mud legs, and they don't feel that there is much wealth no matter how much wealth they have.

A few years ago, Liu Bowen and Yang Xian led the Zhedong Party to balance the Huaixi nobles, but now Yang Xianzheng has been defeated and died, and the court has become the world of Huaixi nobles, and officials in other places are rarely able to ascend to the official positions above the third grade.

Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed slightly, the power of Huaixi Xungui was swelling more and more, and now even Zhu Biao was a little uneasy, if it wasn't for his father's plan, he would have personally suppressed it.

In fact, for the monarch, what kind of trustworthy henchmen there is, the key is checks and balances, Huaixi Xungui has lost checks and balances now, so they have two endings, either they succeed in overthrowing the Zhu family and turning over.

Either they will be removed from the wildness, put on a strong collar and become Zhu Ming's loyal dog to protect the family and protect the country, this is the stage that the founding fathers must go through, how can they be willing to let go of their military power without going through this process.

Zhu Biao thought about it and arrived at Chen's Mansion, and after stepping off the frame, he walked inside, and Governor Chen's Mansion was also leading him, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw a large group of people ushering in, Zhu Biao said helplessly: "Why do you have to let the old lady wait at such a late hour." ”

Before Governor Chen could speak, Old Madam Chen walked in and said with a smile: "Thank you Your Highness for your understanding, it is the old body that I am getting older and feeling less, and I want to see more of His Highness's blessings and live for a few more years." ”
