Chapter 193: Ready to Go
As the words of the Ministry of Rites fell, the three princes knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor above: "The ministers obey the emperor's orders, be loyal to the monarch and filial piety, and the princes guard the main road of their lives. ”
Then he stood up, went to the side and was served by the palace maid to change into the prince's robe, walked back to the main hall, and knelt down again towards his father, it stands to reason that Zhu Yuanzhang should put on the crown for his sons with his own hands.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao on the side and said, "Biao'er, it's up to you to put crowns on your younger brothers." ”
Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard it, but he also understood his father's good intentions, and it was his greatest expectation that his sons could be brothers and harmonize, so Zhu Biao bowed to his father and promised, and then walked in front of his younger brothers.
The civil and military officials are even more emotional, His Royal Highness the Prince's position in the country is really more stable than ever before, and the relationship between the saint and the prince's father and son is even more impressive, inexplicably they also think of the eldest son in their own family, and they feel quite indebted to it, which is really far inferior to the saint.
The official of the Ministry of Rites knelt beside Zhu Biao with the crown of the prince, he did not dare to stand in front of the three princes, Zhu Biao first stood in front of Zhu Zhang, the second king of the Jin Dynasty, reached out and untied the crown on his head, and replaced it with the crown of the prince.
Zhu Biao said that he didn't understand what kind of mood he was feeling now, his stupid younger brothers had also become superb, and in the future, they might become his arms or his stumbling blocks, everything was different.
Zhu Biao finished the first two, and finally walked in front of Zhu Di, the new His Royal Highness the King of Qi was still very calm, Zhu Biao put on a crown for him, and then whispered: "Congratulations." ”
Then retreated to his original position, Zhu Yuanzhang once again said a few words of exhortation in accordance with etiquette, and the three princes respectfully agreed, and then stood up and turned their backs to their father and brother to the ministers, waiting to accept their congratulations.
The civil and military officials also knelt down neatly and saluted: "The ministers see His Royal Highness the King of Jin, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi." ”
Zhu Biao stood behind them and watched silently, this is the only opportunity for them to accept the civil and military bows of the Manchu Dynasty in their lives, this is still forced by Zhu Biao, otherwise according to Lao Zhu's idea, no matter what official sees the prince, he has to kneel and salute.
Finally, the prince's ceremony was over, Zhu Yuanzhang gave a banquet, and it was lively until the afternoon, Zhu Biao also drank a lot, and his younger brothers were crowned kings, and he naturally had to be happy and happy as a brother.
After returning to the East Palace, Chang Luohua had already prepared a sobering soup, and after serving Zhu Biao to drink, he helped him to sleep, and Zhu Biao woke up on the second day, walked around the courtyard twice, and then went back to the Wenhua Hall to wait, and waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to go to the temple to worship together, and told the ancestors that the old Zhu family had begun to divide the kings, and they were all happy.
After two days, there was nothing to do with Zhu Biao, and he didn't need to interfere in the affairs of the Kong family, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households also began to transport the grain and grass materials of the relocated people, Chang Mao and Xu Yungong also went to the East Palace to meet Zhu Biao, saying that the nobles and sons were also ready, and they could follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at any time.
After Zhu Biao asked them to go back, he got up and went to his father in the imperial book room, and after discussing for more than half an hour, he decided to set off the day after tomorrow.
Zhu Biao went to visit his mother again, listened to her chatter for a while, and played with his sister for a while.
Then he went back to the East Palace, Chang Luohua began to prepare things for him to bring, and asked Zhu Biao if he wanted to bring Nuan Yu and them to serve him?
Of course Zhu Biao refused, he didn't go for pleasure, and he still had a lot of noble children around him, if he couldn't lead by example, then how could he restrain and discipline them.
In fact, there is no need to prepare too much, and it is not to fight, no one can wronged Zhu Biao in the Ming Dynasty, but this trip may take several months, whether it is to move or resettle the people, it will take a lot of time.
However, it is still very meaningful to Zhu Biao, he finally feels shallow on paper, and he never knows that he has to bow to this matter, he has been floating on the clouds for too long, and it is time to be grounded.
The next day, Zhu Biao led the three brothers who had been crowned king to the household department and the Ministry of Industry to walk around, and the specific accounts should also be checked clearly, so as not to have enough materials at that time, Zhu Biao was responsible for this matter, and the children of the nobles of the court were involved, so no one dared to deceive.
Then he asked people to call Xu Yungong, Chang Mao, Fu Zhong and others, as well as the four people who Zhu Biao admired more in the imperial examination, this is the small team headed by Zhu Biao in this relocation matter.
The commonality of these people is that they are very young, and they all have a certain cultivation value, Zhu Biao took them to Qingjiang Building, where the winery is built near the river and is very elegant, and there is a river fresh after going to the top floor.
Xu Yungong and others are okay, Guo Chong, Zhang Fan, Wu Bozong, and Li Jin, the four new science and technology scholars, are very excited, and the imperial court has ordered that all new science and technology scholars go to Shanxi with the prince to be responsible for the relocation of the people, and arrange official positions based on their performance.
This matter had already made them excited, and it was a rare qualification to be able to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on errands, and now they were specially called out to participate in the gathering of this inner circle.
It's really comforting to think about the expressions of envy and jealousy just now but they had to come forward to congratulate them, but they are also determined to behave well, otherwise they will be embarrassed and thrown home if they are expelled.
Especially Li Jin, he is almost the champion and not a top spot, and he came here inexplicably, so he naturally has to work harder than others to live up to the value of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Zhu Biao glanced at the four jinshi's somewhat burning eyes, and felt full of sincerity from them, Zhu Biao raised his glass to drink a glass before them, and then began to order specific arrangements, and the rest of the people did not have the heart to move the chopsticks, and they all listened attentively.
The first thing is the problem of food, the relocation of more than 100,000 people plus the officials and soldiers who are responsible for escorting, the consumption on this road is not a small amount, although the household department has allocated some grain and grass, but it still needs to be supplied by the local state capital along the road, and the household department has issued an order.
However, it is common for the grain and grass reserves in the local area to be corrupted and shoddy, and it is not surprising that Zhu Biao has even been completely misappropriated, but there must be a preparation, otherwise it will not be good if something goes wrong.
This is also one of the reasons why this errand is not easy to do, the food that should be supplied locally is gone, do you want to offend the officials of the state government and impeach, if the other party has a deep background?
If you don't report it, if you lack food, then there may be people starving to death, and the people are unwilling to be forced to emigrate, and the family will naturally make trouble if they starve to death, and once there is chaos, the court will hold you responsible.
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Fan and said: "You and Lao Si lead people to go on a trip to find out that the granaries in various places, especially those that have been ordered by the household department, must go in and check in person." ”
Zhu Fan thought for a while and asked, "How to deal with the problem if you find it?" ”
Zhu Biao said: "I will ask my father for an order, if you find corrupt officials and corrupt officials to take them down directly, confiscate their family property, and purchase grain on the spot, you must ensure that you can supply the needs of the army." ”
