  Chapter 687 Old things

  Officials below the third rank can also be induced by promotion, but for officials above the third rank, it is enough to maintain what they have during their lifetime. Not everyone wants to be a prime minister.

A prime minister is like the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. She has to serve her parents-in-law at the top and raise her children at the bottom, and maintain the relationship between the houses in the house. She has to take care of each end and it’s hard to take care of the other end. If something goes wrong, she must be held accountable. It’s really difficult. .

  In fact, when you reach the third rank, you are always honored by the court officials and officials, and you can live in eight seats. Even the monarch has to call out to love you, isn't it better than being a daughter-in-law?

For this kind of people, only spiritual things can stimulate them to continue to work hard. Like Zhao Wenjing, he has made up his mind to be a lonely minister, let alone Hu Weiyong and other court officials, even the emperor and prince dare to be tough Damn, it can be seen that there is no plan to seek further development.

After Zhu Biao finished writing the decree, he stamped it with the crown prince's seal and sent it to Zhongshu Province first. After the Zhongshu Province passed it, he went to the Hanlin Chengzhi Office of the Imperial Academy to add words to the decree and send it back to Zhu Biao for stamping. The big seal left by Lao Zhu was then recorded by the Ministry of Officials, and finally officials from the Imperial Academy or the Ministry of Rites went to announce the decree.

  Seeing that His Royal Highness finally finished writing, Liu Jin hurriedly waved for several maids to come in with pastry boxes: "Master, servant girl saw that you didn't use much in the palace just now, and the bumpy journey back home makes people tired. Use some pastries."

   It's rare that the palace eats the food cooked by the royal chef in the palace. Naturally, he doesn't have a good appetite. Zhu Biao nodded slightly, and put out plates of exquisite pastries.

Honey-soaked kumquat, pomegranate flower cake, minced fish cake, snow chrysanthemum cake, osmanthus cake, lotus seed cake, plus a glass of plum wine, and two plates of seasonal fruits. It looks great, but it tastes nothing new, but it’s not disappointing either. of.

   "Read it."

"Nuo" Liu Jin took out a piece of letter paper from his bosom, and read it quickly. In fact, according to his memory, after reading it once, at least within a few days, there would be no mistakes, but who asked His Royal Highness to read it? .

  The content is actually nothing special, that is, the prices in the capital, which are recorded and reported by the pro-army Duwei Mansion every day. Zhu Biao will not ask every day, but he will still listen to it every now and then.

  The price of basic items such as salt, grain and cloth can reflect the problem. The capital is the capital of the world, and any disturbance will be reflected immediately. For example, during the Jiangnan case, the price of grain and cloth rose sharply.

  At this moment, there was a notification at the door, Liu Jin slightly raised his head and glanced at it, then stopped to report and stood sideways, loudly announcing people to enter, and all the relatives ordered Tong Zhi Shang Honghai to walk in quickly and knelt down on the ground.

   Seeing this, Liu Jin waved slightly, and all the maids serving in the hall retreated, leaving only a few tall and strong eunuchs standing silently on both sides with their heads bowed.

   It can also be seen that Zhu Biao's trust in him is still limited, and he will need at least several years or a few great achievements before he can get the dignity and rewards that a confidant should deserve.

  The trust of the crown prince is the most precious dignity and reward in this world.

   "I will report to Your Highness, and at the end I will receive a secret letter from Goryeo. His Highness King Qi fell from his horse with an arrow. He is suspected of being assassinated. Although there is no life-threatening danger after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician, at least he will have to stay in bed for three months."

  Zhu Biao's complexion remained unchanged, which was not too unexpected. The purpose of arranging two imperial physicians to accompany him was also to deal with this situation, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

  I thought it would take at least another month before I could attack Zhu Di, but it seemed that I couldn't bear it anymore. Could it be because Zhu Di performed so well? Or was it really an accident?

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the chances of hitting the arrows by mistake are not small. For example, in the Battle of Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang stretched out his head from the boat to command the battle, but was shot by the arrows flying from nowhere, pierced his head, and died immediately .

  He is not worried about Zhu Di's fate, because Zhu Di is just a young prince in the eyes of outsiders. He has more than ten brothers, and there will be more in the future, nothing special.

It's nothing to kick him out of the game with black hands in order to fight for power, but if he really wants to die, it will lead to a catastrophe. Kill them all.

  Thinking that those people would not be so stupid, in order to kill a prince whose symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning, they set themselves up.

  Zhu Biao actually doesn’t know who did it. It might be Li Chenggui, Li Renren, Yao Guangxiao, Jiang Side, Empress Dowager Mingde, or even Nahachu.

They have more or less reasons to take action against Zhu Di, it’s nothing more than different plans. Li Chenggui hopes that Zhu Di will stay behind as a mascot, Li Renren does not want Da Ming to participate too much in Goryeo, and Empress Dowager Mingde does not want Da Ming to get involved Wang's rule over Goryeo.

Yao Guangxiao and Jiang Side probably wanted to show their loyalty to Zhu Biao. As the prince's ministers, they didn't want to see the vassal king become powerful. He is doomed to lose everything in Liaodong Goryeo, and willfulness is his last right.

  The airborne big shot is always repulsive. His arrival means that he will eat a large piece of meat. It is not easy to hurt Zhu Di under the protection of the military guards. Perhaps it is the tacit understanding of everyone.

Since the war in Liaodong and Koryo started in the past few months, Zhu Di has performed well. Leading troops in battle really depends on talent. It is to be able to see the whole situation and know how to fight to win.

  Old Zhu Xuda Chang Yuchun Lanyu Are these people some kind of generals? Have you read any military books since you were young and learned any rules? The fact is that they have grown into a group of people who are most capable of fighting in the world in a very short period of time, and they have conquered the entire world.

  Zhu Di obviously also possessed this kind of talent. Although he had no chance to lead the army during the Northern Expedition with Zhu Biao, he still learned a lot and showed it on the Korean battlefield.

   It is precisely this kind of talent that makes Zhu Biao not target Zhu Di. In history, Zhu Di did not show any mercy to Zhu Biao's children after he was difficult to succeed.

  Zhu Yunxuan needless to say, the third son Zhu Yunxie was demoted from the king of Wu to the king of Guangze County, and not long after he was deposed as a common man, he was imprisoned in Fengyang with the fourth son Zhu Yunxie, the king of Heng, and the two brothers died violently one after another.

  The fifth son Xu Wang Zhu Yunxi lived with his mother in the tomb of Zhu Biao after being demoted. When he was sixteen years old, the mansion caught fire for no reason and Zhu Yunxi was burned to death...

  The eldest daughter, Princess Jiangdu, was demoted to the throne, her husband was executed, and Princess Jiangdu died of depression. Zhu Biao's second daughter, Princess Yilun, was married to Yu Li, a small Jinyiwei family.

  The third daughter, Jingyi, died suddenly, while the youngest daughter, Princess Nanping, never married...

  Not only did he want to be cruel to his sons and daughters, but he also wrote and published "Feng Tian Jing Difficult Records" by himself:

"In the early days, Prince Yiwen's behavior was too much, and he disobeyed the wishes of the Taizu. The Taizu tasted and supervised him, and he complained when he retired. He often cursed in the palace, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and the lights and candles were all extinguished. There was nothing to fear. He is also good at recruiting more than 3,000 warriors to serve as guards in the Eastern Palace.”

"When Taizu heard about it, he spoke to Empress Xiaoci Gao and said: I have gone through hardships with you to become an emperor. What the eldest son has done today will worry the community. What can I do?" His Majesty judged it. Taizu said: "There is no one like Yan Wang who is the most benevolent and filial, and has literary and military talents, and can caress the country. I want it."

God is pitiful, Zhu Di still gave his elder brother some face, but made him into a disobedient and unfilial prince who did not take advantage of Taizu's wishes, but he was not like that to his nephew, Zhu Yunwen, who was the object of Feng Tianjing You're welcome.

"It is said that he often takes obscene drugs, the drugs are dry, the blood is frantic, the number of old women is not enough, and the ewes and sows are bound to have **** with each other. He is greedy for wine and sex, and has no limits day and night. When he is facing the court, his spirit is dim. nothing more"
