Chapter 270: The Book of Decrees

Hearing the emperor's words, the palace maids who were waiting on the side immediately went out to pass the meal, this meal has been prepared since yesterday, and the servants and maids in the palace who are no longer in the palace are also very panicked, and they can find that the saint has been in a bad mood recently.

After a while, a large table of food was put on the table, unlike other places, dining in Kunning Palace has always been eaten together, and there are not so many rules, which is also a tradition for a long time.

Queen Ma sandwiched a few dishes for Zhu Biao and didn't take care of it anymore, after all, although Zhu Biao was darker, the whole person looked very energetic, and he had grown a lot.

Zhu Lu, who was between Zhu Biao and Chang Luohua, had a lot of problems, Chang Luohua couldn't block it after feeding several mouthfuls, and he was about to be scolded, Zhu Biao hurriedly told her that she had brought the kitten back, and she could go to see it after eating.

Lao Zhu frowned and didn't say anything, he didn't like cats and dogs, and there were very few people in the palace to raise them, but he didn't say anything, Lao Zhu ate quickly, and left a sentence for Zhu Biao after eating: "Come to the imperial study when you finish eating." ”

Then he led the people away, Queen Ma shook her head and said: "Your father has been very busy recently, if you hadn't come back, I wouldn't have seen him for almost half a month." ”

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, but immediately comforted his mother and said: "Don't worry about the queen mother, I'll ask later, if there is anything tedious, I'll do it." ”

Queen Ma looked at her grown son and said, "That's good, your father is getting older and older, and he is the age of a grandfather in the people, and he is still so busy day and night." “

Zhu Biao nodded a few words of relief, and then led Zhu Lu, who had been fidgeting for a long time, to go out, and asked Liu Jin to lead her to see the kitten, while he went straight to the imperial study, and there were slaves and maids kneeling everywhere all the way.

After entering the imperial study, he saw Lao Zhu throwing him a stack of letters from Zizhang, Zhu Biao took it and looked at it, and the top was the military emergency report sent by Tang He.

It turned out that Tang He led the army to cross the river into Tongguan, divided the troops and went straight to Jingzhou, sent the generals to surrender Zhang Liangchen, Zhang Liangchen soon rebelled and left, Tang He joined the army to besiege Qingyang, and Zhang Liangchen was captured and beheaded.

Later, together with the deputy general Liao Yongzhong, he led the water division to trace the river and attack Xia, the Xia soldiers choked the dangerous area, the Tanghe attack was unsuccessful, and the river rose sharply, and the garrison Daxikou, the army could not advance for a long time, and was dragged there.

Zhu Biao frowned after reading it, he also led the soldiers, and after reading it carefully, he knew that there was no problem with Tang He's command, but it was unlucky to encounter the river surge, of course, any reason was in vain, and it was a fact that the army was blocked.

But it's nothing at this point, the Ming Dynasty gathers the momentum of the world to advance Bashu, even if they rely on the right time and place, they are just surviving.

Zhu Biao turned to the next one, which was a letter of peace written by Ming Sheng, the lord of Ming Xia, and its approximate content was that Xia was willing to serve the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and he would pay tribute every year and come to the dynasty every year, only asking the Ming to withdraw his troops.

Zhu Biao smiled and left it, and other places were just fine, but the land of Bashu and the country of abundance are enough to achieve hegemony, how could the Ming Dynasty allow it to continue to exist, not to mention that Tang He was blocked, even if Tang He was annihilated, the Ming Dynasty would still raise troops to conquer.

Further down is the Ming Dynasty all over the newspapers, generally good, but such a big country, all problems are indispensable, the important thing is the lack of officials, the Ming Dynasty is still extremely lacking local officials, especially at the county level.

The county order is just a low-level existence in the bureaucratic system, and if he is unlucky, he has never had the opportunity to enter the court to meet the emperor in his life, and the ordinary family also looks down on him, but he is just a sesame official.

But among all the officials, the county order is the most basic and deals with the people the most, and it can be said that they have a first-hand grasp of the social situation and are the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty's rule.

has the power of life and death for the people in its jurisdiction, such a position can not be sloppy, but the Ming Dynasty established the country by force, and the nobles will not be the county commanders, so the appointed county commanders are either the Yuan Dynasty who took refuge in them, or they are local famous literati.

These people are used to being wanton in the Yuan Dynasty, and they are very out of line, Lao Zhu naturally will not show mercy, two months ago, he asked Yushitai to go out of Beijing to inspect the place, and found that all the criminals were arrested and returned to the capital, and more than 100 people had been beheaded the day before yesterday.

Further down is the letter from the Goryeo Wang, Dali Duan and other royal families, Zhu Biao frowned and read it, it was all useless nonsense, especially the Dali Duan family, they still wanted to continue to support the Yuan Dynasty, they forgot that their ancestors were destroyed and conquered by Kublai Khan.

Zhu Biao watched all kinds of news for half an hour, and he was a little dizzy, it was really a bit messy, and it seemed that it was very important, and it was a matter of not being negligent about the country.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also finished dealing with a batch of state affairs that needed to be dealt with urgently, waved his hand to let Zhu Biao sit down and said: "Wang Guangyang's wreck, he will make those sour poems, and he can't do anything serious, so let's help him sit in the position of prime minister on the left." ”

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "He's afraid, Yang Xian can't fight, let alone the current Hu Weiyong, I'm afraid he just wants his father to demote him, so that he won't become a thorn in Hu Weiyong's side and suffer revenge in the future." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Does he want to do this?" He has to sit in this position for at least a year, Hu Weiyong is too cautious now, and he has to have such a person to stimulate him. ”

Zhu Biao naturally understood this, and didn't say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and moved a few times and asked, "How many days do you want to rest?" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head and replied: "I will be angry after a few days of resting for my mother, not to mention that it is time for my sons to share their father's worries." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed a few times, and then said outside: "Spread the edict to the province, just say that I intend to let the prince come to the ministers one day, listen to the announcements of the ministers, in order to practice national politics, and from tomorrow onwards, all political affairs will be punished by the prince, and then heard." ”

The voice of Ying Nuo came from outside, Zhu Biao stood up and knelt on the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to his son and said: "You have been smart since you were a child, and your father didn't need to say anything, but the governance of the dynasty is a big deal, and the country we have worked hard for a lifetime must be inherited by you, and you must not be negligent." ”

Zhu Biao said solemnly: "Erchen respectfully listens to his father's admonition. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also said seriously: "Let's remember a few principles, one is benevolence, and only if you can be benevolent, you will not lose your negligence; One is to be clear, and only if you can be clear will you not be confused by traitors; One is diligence, only diligent and diligent, will not indulge in comfort; The first is to make a decision, and if there is a decision, it will not be involved in grammar. ”

Zhu Biao bowed down and promised, and Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Biao'er, these points are the truth we came up with after becoming the emperor, and if you teach your children and grandchildren like this in the future, our Zhu family's world will be stable." ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he pulled his son up with his own hands: "The truth is such a truth, but in fact, how do you know it yourself, we estimate that we can't get close to Ren in this life, but we hope that our children and grandchildren can do it." ”
