MTL - First Prince of Ming Dynasty-Chapter 729 suitable
As soon as Zhu Biao's words came out, Lao Zhu understood by heart, no wife and no children means no care and restraint, which is inappropriate, especially for a person like Ming Sheng who has a special status and wants to serve as a feudal border.
"The eldest girl and the second girl have already ordered, are you willing to give up your third sister?"
The third child is Zhu Biao's direct sister, but if it is Mingsheng, it is not impossible. Zhu Biao really appreciates him. If he is really a man without virtue and talent, even if his status is suitable, Zhu Biao cannot be appointed to Fengjiang top priority.
But the problem is not here. Zhu Biao's oldest sister is Princess Lin'an, who is only twelve or thirteen years old. too big.
But at Mingsheng's age, it would be impossible to make him wait for nearly ten years, and it would lose the meaning of giving marriage. Although the symbolic meaning of marriage is greater than the actual meaning, it can't make people wait until they are nearly 30 years old to get married .
"Sisters are naturally not suitable, and Mingsheng is also honorable. Why don't you choose someone from Wu Xun's family to give you a marriage, after all, you have to be more decent."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, this is a bit difficult to handle, except for the most prominent few who dare not marry without authorization, most of the rest have already been settled.
Thinking that Tang He had a daughter who was ready to marry, but how could it be possible for Tang He to lead the Confederate Army so that the commander of the first army could marry a local feudal official?
"Since you said it, you must have an idea. Someone's daughter, tell me."
"I just heard from Luo Hua yesterday that the second sister in the family has passed the age of cardamom, but because Chang Mao's marriage date has not yet been decided, there has been no time to discuss marriage."
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows tightened: "Biao'er, the Chang family's kindness is a bit too heavy. We know that your husband and wife are harmonious, and Yuchun and Chang Mao are also trustworthy, but you have to understand the truth that too much is too late."
Zhu Biao bowed slightly and said: "My son understands, but there are no younger sisters who are of the right age. If you want to show a trusted attitude, you have to have a relationship with your son. If you can't be a relative, you can only be a wife and sister. "
"Isn't that girl from the Lan family?"
"The concubine is not the daughter of the royal family, so the son-in-law said it was just right."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. The concubine's words were okay, and En Yu did not appear to be too exaggerated. You must know that Ming Sheng's sudden rise to a high position for no reason will definitely cause shocks in the government and the public. A proper lowering is not necessarily a bad thing.
Furthermore, Sichuan Wufu is abundant and the land is dangerous and isolated. As a feudal official here, he is undoubtedly less restricted by the central government than in other regions.
Liu Bowen can sit in such a position, even if the emperor doesn't like it, he is also the founding official of the Ming Dynasty, ranked among the marquises, the leader of the eastern Zhejiang court, and his disciples and old officials are all over the state.
But it is not easy for Mingsheng to sit down. It is not a secret that Liu Bowen is in poor health and submits his resignation begging for bones.
All factions are also competing. It is not a joke that I have one more powerful official on my side.
If you don’t make proper arrangements for Ming Sheng, if you just appoint him like this, he won’t be able to control the real power when he arrives in Sichuan.
At that time, Mingsheng's status as the former owner of Shu Land not only could not help him, but it would also become a reason for others to restrict him. The court also paid attention to human feelings and sophistication, without foundation, support, disciples and old officials, he could make it by himself alone. What's up?
What is real power? One word is followed by the public, but there is no real power. One word is silent.
It doesn’t mean that whoever Zhu Biao promotes to be a first-rank official is really a first-rank official, and he can influence the government with dignity. Rank is just a rank, and it doesn’t necessarily mean actual power.
Just like Wang Guangyang in the past, so what if the emperor hand-picked him as the prime minister?
Without the support of Huaixi nobles, without the help of capable disciples and old officials under his command, he was easily overthrown by Hu Weiyong, and was demoted out of Beijing in despair.
Zhu Biao didn’t want Mingsheng to be a loser, and he didn’t want him to come back to the capital in disgrace, but for no reason, how could he be accepted by Donggong’s subordinates like this.
Officials are not clay sculptures and wood sculptures. They have their own ideas. The monarch can kill them, but it is impossible to destroy their humanity. Loyalty always has a certain limit.
With such a big piece of fat, isn’t there anyone in the East Palace who is greedy?
Always diligent and loyal, I thought it was something I had in my pocket but was cut off by someone. Would you still accept it?
Zhu Biao asked himself, there are such people under his command, but the number is absolutely pitiful, and most of them are not of high grade...
Therefore, we not only need to set up other places to appease and compensate them, but also give them a step to understand. Marriage is the simplest, most direct and most effective political declaration. Giving marriage to Mingsheng to his wife and sister, the daughter of the Kaiping Palace, everyone I also understand.
Only in this way can Mingsheng be accepted by the Huaixi department and get close support from the party members of the Eastern Palace. Only then can he really hope to secure his position in Sichuan Pingzhang's political affairs.
Both father and son knew what this meant. Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment and said, "I hope this kid won't let you down."
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "What my son really wants to accomplish, it doesn't really matter what he does. A big living person has paved a smooth road, and he can't even move forward."
Since the intention is for all countries, such a person, a political benchmark, must exist. Mingsheng is only the most suitable status and the best success. If he fails, Zhu Biao will continue with another person until he succeeds.
"Then let's settle it early."
"Mother-in-law please ask Ming Sheng's mother, Mrs. Peng, to come into the palace to discuss it. The son-in-law of the Chang family asked Luo Hua to ask his mother-in-law to let her know. After two days, I will ask my father to issue a decree to grant the marriage."
"Um."
………
Mingsheng jumped out of the carriage outside Guiyihou's mansion, stepped lightly and heavily, and walked into his home with a somewhat erratic figure, as if a flame was burning in his heart, wanting to vent but there was no one to complain.
The Empress Dowager Xia Peng of Ming Dynasty was sitting in the hall waiting, the handkerchief in her hand was about to be rubbed loose, and her son was summoned into the palace by His Highness the Prince.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad. She was originally the mother of a country who listened to the government behind the curtain, and her son was once a lonely king. Now that the country is broken here, it may not end well sooner or later. to see my husband.
"Ma'am, Master Hou is back."
Peng quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, then stood up and went out to meet him. Seeing his son walking staggeringly, his face flushed, his heart sank suddenly, but there was a sense of relief like relief.
The day finally came.
Mingsheng saw his mother from afar and stepped forward a little faster to salute: "Mom, why are you out? There's wind outside, come in quickly, my son happens to have something to tell you."
Peng took his son's hand and shook it tightly: "Okay, mother is here for everything."
Mother and son entered the house hand in hand, waited for the mother to sit down safely and served tea, Ming Sheng waved away the servants who served around him. As a marquis, he was able to retain some old people who served in the former palace.
"Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned me because he intends to reuse and promote a foreign post, and you may not be able to guess the place, mother."
Mrs. Peng was very surprised and didn't get over it for a while, but the ants are still alive, so it's best not to die: "This...the crown prince benevolence...no matter where you are, Sheng'er, you must do your best to be on duty, don't let the emperor down. kindness."
"Mother! It's in the middle of Shu, and His Highness belongs to the minister to succeed Cheng Yihou as Sichuan Pingzhang's political affairs!"
Peng stood up in fright and hurriedly said: "Sheng'er, you are confused! How dare you agree to this, you should just refuse in every possible way, this...you go and beg His Highness to take back your life!"
From ancient times to the present, people like them are very lucky to be able to stay alive. There is no talk of returning to the old place to take power. It is clearly a test of their mother and son's ambition to restore the country.
