First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 529

Things fell on Zhu Biao, can he make up his mind?

King Zhu of Qin, King Zhu of Jin, other brothers, and courtiers all stretched out their hands and wanted to develop... Central Plains wants to control water, Southwest wants to build roads, Lingnan wants to build schools.

Everyone is full of reason, and everyone is right.

Just one thing, the resources of the Ming Dynasty are only so few, if it is spread everywhere like pepper noodles, it will basically be useless, and it will still be spinning in the mud.

Old Zhu pondered for a while before slowly saying: "It looks like this is really the only way."

Zhu Biao nodded vigorously.

The father and son fell into a brief silence again.

At this moment, there was an aroma, and Empress Ma had already prepared the meal.

When Zhu Yuanzhang got up, he suddenly said: "Zhu Biao, from now on, you will be in charge of supervising the country!"

Zhu Biao was taken aback suddenly, looking at his father in disbelief.

"Father is in the prime of his life and full of energy, how can he let the child supervise the country? This is not appropriate!"

Old Zhu smiled and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder, "Needless to say, Father thinks it's very appropriate! If you must shirk, then you will only be responsible for the part related to business and industry, and you can ignore other things."

Zhu Biao was startled, and finally nodded, taking over a new position.

A family of three sat together and enjoyed dinner.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "Sister, after all these years, you haven't been to Peiping yet, have you?"

Empress Ma was stunned, she had never been there, it seemed that after entering Jinling, she hadn't even been out of Yingtian!

"How about this, after a while, we will patrol the border with you and go to Yanshan to see where we drank Yanshan with our heroes. Also see how big the Peking University Hall is!"

Good guy, Lao Zhu is ready to go on a tour, and the couple will go on tour together.

As usual, the Son of Heaven is not doing his job properly, but is obsessed with playing, so he needs to be persuaded, but in today's atmosphere, Empress Ma can't say anything, so she can only nod slightly, "Success!"

Then Empress Ma added: "Biao's daughter-in-law is already pregnant with a child, and he will be a father after a while!"

Zhu Biao as a father?

Doesn't that mean that he is going to be a grandfather?

Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

The new generation always gives people unlimited hope.

Daming won't be unable to get out of the quagmire.

Absolutely not!

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang became extremely confident.

A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang decreed that the prince Zhu Biao ended his observation of politics and was promoted to supervisor of the country.And specifically stated that it is in charge of business development matters.

Zhu Biao finally began to formally participate in the government.

Just when the big guy was looking forward to it and felt that the prince would have some unusual means... Zhu Biao suddenly announced a confusing order.

Zhu Biao asked the Ministry of Education and Culture to come up with new clothing to meet the requirements of rebuilding the universe and revitalizing China.

Moreover, Zhu Biao personally went to the Ministry of Education and Culture, and took out a few samples for everyone to see.

"This is woolen clothing. It's simple and warm, and it's quite convenient...It's energetic and strong, and it's very suitable for students to wear! The Ministry of Education and Culture, think a little bit, and place the order as soon as possible."

After Zhu Biao said this, he left directly.

Only these adults were left looking at each other... What the hell is this?

Do you really want to wear it for students?

No matter how awkward it looks!

After a little inquiring, everyone found out that it was made by Beiping.

Since the promulgation of the compulsory education order, there are more than one million students in Daming!

So many orders have fallen into Zhu Di's hands, this is going to be eaten into a big fat pig!

No, absolutely not!

Clothes can't be changed casually, and King Zhu Di can't favor him alone!

The Ministry of Education and Culture immediately raised objections, but Zhu Biao beat him back just after sending it up, and the two leading officials were directly demoted three levels in a row.

I'm not discussing with you, I'm giving you orders!

Chapter 734 The Emperor's Grandson's Teacher

"That's right. To those officials, you can't be pleasing to the eye, and you can't give them a good face. This time, Biao'er finally looks like a prince, very good!" Zhu Yuanzhang was triumphant, crossing his legs, not to mention how beautiful he is.

The son is decisive and strong, with his own demeanor.He has a sense of accomplishment more than his own prestige.

Old Zhu was so overjoyed that he dragged Empress Ma to talk about patrolling the border. He wanted to see the newly built Shanhaiguan Pass, visit the Great Wall, Gubeikou, Juyongguan, and by the way, Gaoliang River. By the Gaoliang River, a statue of a donkey cart running wildly has been repaired, which must be interesting.

What else could Empress Ma say, she could only agree again and again.This stupid donkey finally got out of style. After so many years of marriage, he hasn't gone out to play yet!

It is indeed worth looking forward to.

But before leaving, there is one more important thing, "

"Biao's daughter-in-law is going to give birth soon. This is our first grandchild. In any case, we have to wait for the baby to be born before we can leave." Empress Ma said softly.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought so, and nodded immediately, "Yeah, I really didn't expect that we will be grandpas too, and Biao'er is promising. If this grandson is also promising, there will be successors in our Zhu family, and we will have no regrets." .”

Old Zhu pondered slightly, and then said: "Sister, tell me, what is going on with our in-laws and daughter-in-law? Can you teach our grandson well?"

Empress Ma glared at him, "The child hasn't been born yet, who knows if it's a grandson? Don't talk about your old grandson. If it gets out, it's not good for your in-laws to hear about it!"

Empress Ma paused for a moment, and then said: "I heard something, but I don't know how to say it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "Sister, you didn't hesitate when you slapped us, why can't you open your mouth now?"

Empress Ma rolled her eyes angrily, that's our business, isn't this involving outsiders!

After a pause, Empress Ma said: "Chongba, it's like this. Our in-laws suffered a lot in the early years. Although they are not very old now, they are very old. There seems to be some estrangement between husband and wife, and they are often unhappy."

Chang Yuchun's wife, Lan Yu's older sister, Chang Yuchun rescued their siblings and married them, so it's been quite a while.

Beauty is easy to grow old, although she is the wife of the Duke, the Lan family has not been so happy these years, she is getting older and older, and there seems to be a bit of a difference between Chang Yuchun and Chang Yuchun.

As the children grew up, she became more and more empty.

All in all, when a person reaches middle age, everything is unsatisfactory.

Empress Ma sighed: "Women have to be like this all their lives. In fact, our daughter-in-law, I can tell that since she married Biaoer, she has never left the gate of the East Palace. There are many rules in the palace, and she lives well." Not so well. I see that child is not as lively as before, and I feel very uncomfortable. Chongba, you said that we are a heavenly family, why is it like this?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he couldn't help frowning. After a while, he murmured: "Sister, do you think we are too restrictive? Make it difficult for everyone?"

Empress Ma said sullenly, "You said it yourself!"

Old Zhu couldn't help but smile wryly, he was still to blame!

In fact, if you think about it, there is nothing difficult to understand.

Zhu Yuanzhang severely punished all the officials. Chang Yuchun, as the prince and father-in-law, naturally did not dare to mess around with anything.The atmosphere at home is not very good, and it is only natural that the wife is affected.

The mother is like this, even if the daughter marries the prince, she dare not offend her parents-in-law.

Speaking of which, the position of the crown princess is really not good.

Depressed, trembling.

Over time, it is not surprising that the health is not good and the root of the disease has fallen.

Speaking of which, it's not complicated.

The royal family is like this, the palace is profound, the rules are strict, and everyone is worried and unhappy.Is there ever a time when you really laugh?

As time goes by, who can not fall into a problem?

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea, "Sister, this time, we came up with a great idea, don't worry! It will work!"

Empress Ma was slightly surprised, "Chong Ba, if you have any good ideas, come and hear them!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, and even smiled and said: "Don't be too busy, you will know when we have made arrangements."

Still playing with a sense of mystery, Empress Ma snorted coldly, she didn't think Zhu Yuanzhang, this stupid donkey, could do anything!Anyway, just don't make it a scare!

The days that followed were uneventful.

Zhu Biao took over more and more government affairs, and his handling of things became more concise and clear. His eyes lit up in the hall, and the prince had matured after all.

Seeing that the day when the crown princess gave birth was getting closer, the East Palace became lively.

First of all, Chang Yuchun's wife, Mrs. Lan, came to the East Palace to take care of her daughter.

This was normal, but what was unexpected was that Jiang Nan was also invited, and the matter suddenly became interesting.

Jiang Nan is really not an outsider. Lan Yu learned a lot from Zhang Ximeng's side in the early years. She regards Zhang Ximeng as a teacher, and Jiang Nan is almost a teacher's wife. Lan is also Lan Yu's older sister. She is very close to Jiang Nan. of.

On the other side, Zhu Biao is an apprentice of Zheng'er Bajing, and the Crown Princess Chang also respects Jiang Nan very much.

Therefore, both the mother and Jiang Nan were very polite, and thanked her very much for coming.

"Jiang Shangshu, although they are both women, there is a huge difference between people. You are now in the position of Shangshu, assisting the country and governing the people. You are really fighting for our women's face. Unlike me, you can only stay at home Inside, if I hadn't come to take care of the girl, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get out of the gate."

While taking a break, Lan talked to Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan had a smile on her face, but she didn't think too much about it.

"I can't say that. I was lucky enough to be in the current position. People still reward me with a little face because of Zhang Xiang's face... But let me say that it is Feng girl who can really win face for us women." , that child is truly amazing!"

Lan's was very curious, "Who is Feng girl?"

"It's a student Zhang Xiang accepted some time ago, and she is still the junior sister of His Royal Highness, the only one who is recognized by Zhang Xiang!"

Lan became more and more curious, because she knew very well that there were more than ten million people who wanted to worship under Zhang Xiang's family. Among other things, her brother Lan Yu was the most enthusiastic one.

But sorry, so far, there is still no hope.

It is really impressive that there is a little girl who can be favored by Zhang Xiang and become an official disciple.

"Jiang Shangshu, see if you can bring that child back! Let me get to know him too!"

Jiang Nan smiled and nodded, "Sure, I'll pick a time when I'm not busy and bring her over."

A few days later, Jiang Nan really came with Xia Zhifeng.

Ten-year-old children always look different every day. Xia Zhifeng's stature has obviously begun to grow. She is wearing a light pink dress with no extra decorations. She is carrying a basket containing dried meat made by herself. A meeting ceremony at the brother's house.

"Master, are the rules in the East Palace too big? If you say something wrong, you won't be punished, right?" Xia Zhifeng asked with a smile.

Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing, "I said Feng girl! You are so good at studying, but you are confused about this matter! You are a student of Zhang Xiangzheng's eight classics, and you are even higher than His Royal Highness in theory! I am like you! Tell me, even if you set fire to the East Palace, no one will dare to control it!"

Xia Zhifeng was quite surprised. She was obviously making a joke just now, but what Jiang Nan said was not a joke.

The signboard of Zhang Xiang's disciples, the more you reach the top, the more you know its weight.

There is no way, Zhang Ximeng has almost no desires and desires in many things, starting with himself, there is no hope of success at all.

Because of this, some people like to start with Zhang Shuning, but obviously, the child's hope is not great.

And Xia Zhifeng, as Zhang Ximeng's formally recognized disciple, if she climbed up to Zhang Ximeng through her, it would be the dream of many people.

It's just that the big guy has this idea, but he doesn't have the guts.Like the Tang family in Jiangxi, they are purely ignorant and fearless, looking for death on their own.

Xia Zhifeng had a little understanding of the importance of Zhang Xiang's disciples, but the little girl was more honest.

"Master, teach me more rules in the future, I'm afraid I'll embarrass Master."

Jiang Nan touched Xia Zhifeng's head, smiled broadly, "Succeed, my wife will teach you! But you must also remember that in this Yingtian, we can walk sideways."

Xia Zhifeng stuck out her tongue again, forget it, she doesn't want to be a crab.

While talking, they arrived at the East Palace.

Surprisingly, there were actually three people who greeted them, one was Empress Ma, the other was Lan Shi, and the third was the pregnant concubine Chang Shi.

Together, these three are almost the most distinguished women in the world today, and Jiang Nan was a little surprised when they greeted them together.

She hurriedly brought Xia Zhifeng over to greet her. Empress Ma had seen Xia Zhifeng a long time ago, and she stretched out her hand to hold Xia Zhifeng into her arms.

Then he said: "Mother-in-law, this is the Xia Zhifeng I told you, girl Feng! The good apprentice Mr. Zhang took the initiative to accept is not the kind of Zhu Biao who forced it on Mr. Zhang!"

Lan's family looked at Xia Zhifeng, smiled and said, "I've heard Jiang Shangshu say that this child is good-looking, beautiful, and full of talent. Could it be that the gods entrusted him with the birth?"
