Chapter 55 Governance of Yangzhou
After a while, the guards brought steaming dry food and meaty wild vegetable broth, and Zhu Biao took a bowl of broth and sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, eat some, the people of the whole world are counting on you!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite, and took a sip of it, "Biao'er, you can stay with your father at night!" The third kid, that kid snoring, I'm afraid you can't stand it! ”
Zhu Biao responded with a smile, and looked at the surprised laughter of the people in the distance, and his heart was also much soothed.
Yang Xian didn't know what to say over there, and those people all kowtowed in the direction of their father and son, "The grass people kowtow to the emperor and the crown prince!" Hooray, hooray! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded calmly, "Yang Xian is a smart person, Biao'er, what do you think about leaving Yang Xian in Yangzhou as the prefect?" ”
Zhu Biao nodded and said, "This person is very smart, but I think this person has a lot of ambitions." ”
Yang Xian was still relatively famous in the early Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Biao still had a little impression of him.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of broth disappreciatively and said, "I'm not afraid of ambition, it's just that I want to climb up, as long as he really has the ability to give him high-ranking officials, what if it's not for me to work hard!" ”
Zhu Biao nodded like an instructive, and Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Biao'er, many times people use ability, not character!" Whether you are loyal or treacherous, the conclusion of the coffin is still us! ”
Zhu Biao nodded after listening, and before he could say anything, he saw the third and fourth running over.
When the third and fourth saw that Zhu Biao didn't have a bowl in his hand, he turned around and went to bring two bowls of broth.
After eating, Zhu Yuanzhang led a group of people to turn around in the dilapidated Yangzhou City, and the atmosphere was a little silent.
Zhu Yuanzhang touched the burnt black wall and said, "Lu Mingyi is not young, I am afraid it is difficult to serve as the prefect of Yangzhou, Yang Xian, do you have the courage to take this position?" ”
Yang Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he ran to the side and knelt down respectfully: "Thank you, Holy Lord!" The minister is willing to take over the important task, and only asks the Holy Lord to support some rice planting and farming tools, and the minister will definitely rebuild Yangzhou! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him for a while and said, "Okay!" I will give you farming tools for plowing cattle and rice, and Yangzhou City will be tax-free for three years! Yang Xian: If you can govern Yangzhou well, I will still be of great use to you, if you can't cure it......
Yang Xian replied loudly: "The minister is willing to make a military order!" If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and led a group of people away, Zhu Biao took a few steps behind and said to Yang Xian, "Father has great expectations for you, I hope you don't let the saint down!" ”
Yang Xian didn't speak, but kowtowed again firmly, and Zhu Biao left with a smile on his face, leaving Yang Xian to slowly raise his head and look at the dilapidated Yangzhou City with sharp eyes.
The next day, before Zhu Yuanzhang set off, except for the materials for the return trip, the rest were left to the people of Yangzhou.
One night in December, he finally returned to the palace, and he was really tired from running all the way, Zhu Biao went back to the East Palace and closed his eyes and didn't care about anything, and when he woke up the next day, he already felt comfortable.
There is still the aroma of bathing on his body, incense is burning in the house, and Yun Jin, who has been guarding him when he opens his eyes, brings him cool water to drink, and then Da Shuang'er picks up the jade urinal......
When Zhu Biao walked out of the room, it was already noon, and just wanted to go to see his mother, Liu Jin walked in with a box, and when he saw Zhu Biao, he said with a smile, "Master, this is sent by Kaiping Palace." ”
Zhu Biao also opened it with great interest and saw that it was a whole set of clothes.
The moon-white cloud dragon robe is exquisitely embroidered, as well as shoes, socks and pants, and a cloud dragon cloak.
There was a note pressed underneath, and Juanxiu's handwriting was neatly written on the paper, "Are you still satisfied?" ”
The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth were slightly raised, he reached out and stroked the dragon pattern, and then closed the lid.
Yun Jin on the side said, "Won't you change it?" ”
Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "No, you can also prepare some jewelry, I want to come here in a few days, I have to go to Kaiping Palace, and it is not good to come to the door empty-handed after people send me clothes." ”
Yun Jin smiled and promised, put the box away, and took it out when Zhu Biao went to Chang's house next time.
Looking at Zhu Biao's distant back, Yun Jin showed a soft smile on her face, she didn't care about the crown princess, and she didn't care what would happen in the future, as long as she could stay by his side all the time.
Zhu Biao went to the harem, didn't meet anyone along the way, and went directly to Kunning Palace, where there were two younger sisters in addition to his mother.
Zhu Biao knelt down towards Queen Ma when he entered: "The son has been out for many days, which makes the queen mother worried!" ”
The mother of the child is worried, after going for so many days, even if she knows that nothing will happen to Zhu Yuanzhang, she is still worried about whether she will catch a cold.
Queen Ma asked Zhu Biao to pick up and shouted again, and took a few good looks before she was relieved.
Zhu Jingjing, who was on the side, looked at Zhu Biao with bright eyes, and came over to greet Zhu Biao with a smaller baby, and Zhu Biao responded with a smile.
Now that Jing'er is older, it's not easy for him to get close, "Jing'er is okay lately?" If you have anything you want, you can go to the East Palace to find me, don't be afraid of trouble. ”
Zhu Jing smiled softly and looked at the brother who had taken care of him since he was a child and nodded obediently, Zhu Biao took over his own sister Zhu Lu, she was just barely able to walk around now, and she didn't want to be in anyone's arms for a moment.
And I haven't seen him for so long, I have long forgotten about my own brother, and struggled to get off the ground, Zhu Jingjing smiled at Zhu Biao and went to take care of my sister.
Zhu Biao told Queen Ma what she had seen along the way, and after hearing the situation of the people, Queen Ma also frowned sadly.
Queen Ma sighed and said, "I have no choice but to weave some clothes to help them keep out the cold, and after a while, I will gather the ladies of the harem to make some clothes together." ”
Zhu Biao persuaded, "Father has already arranged the materials, mother, don't be tired, and there are a few concubines in the harem who are willing to weave cloth and make clothes." ”
Queen Ma snorted and said, "They are idle enough, instead of competing for favor every day, it is better to do something good for the people, you don't have to care, this palace wants to see who dares to disobey Yi's will!" ”
Zhu Biao didn't persuade again, the queen led the concubines to weave clothes for the poor people, which was a beautiful talk.
Queen Ma thought of her daughter-in-law and said, "You are also back, let's go to Kaiping Mansion in a few days, husband and wife are a lifelong thing, and my mother hopes that the two of you can be well." ”
Zhu Biao also responded with a smile: "Son, I'll go and see it in a few days."
Queen Ma laughed, "Mother is in this harem, boring tight, wait for next year my mother will have a daughter-in-law to accompany me, if you are angry, it would be better to let your mother and your father hug their grandson as soon as possible." ”
Zhu Biao really didn't expect that he was only thirteen years old and was urged to have a child......
After having a meal with his mother, Zhu Biao retired and returned to the East Palace to ask Liu Jin to pick out some things that girls could wear and send them to Zhu Jingjing.
