First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 41

Zhu Biao stood quietly outside, and could vaguely hear the voices of the canonized ministers inside. Now they are still conferred official positions, and the titles have not been conferred. After all, Xu Da is still leading a large group of generals on the Northern Expedition...

After a while, an eunuch came out respectfully and said, "The Holy One has spoken, Prince Xuan enters the hall!"

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand and tightened the yellow ribbon around his chin. On his head was a crown with two filigree golden dragons. The two dragons were inlaid with four opals, four topaz, and ten rubies. Ten sapphires and nine pearls.

Zhu Biao walked into the Fengtian Hall with a solemn face, and under the bow of the officials, he walked slowly from the middle of the civil and military officials to the front, and knelt down respectfully, "My son, see the father, long live the father Long live!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his prince and smiled: "Get up!"

Then he motioned the Minister of Rites to read out the imperial decree he had drawn up a long time ago.

"My eldest son, Zhu Biao, was born by the queen, the first heir of the clan, with pure beauty and precious character, I hereby abide by the first edict, carry out the ceremonies, and obey the public opinion. Established as the crown prince, the right place in the East Palace, with the lineage of [-] years, with the heart of the world."

Announce the world, let the salty hear it!

After Zhu Biao knelt down three times and nine times to take over the canonization edict and the crown prince's golden seal, all the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty knelt down and shouted in unison: "The country has been set, congratulations to Your Majesty, the great Ming Jiangshan, the future generations!"

Later, the Minister of Rites held up an edict: Fengtian carried the emperor, and said, "Zhu Biao, my eldest son, is of quintessential talent, he is the Prince of Ming Dynasty, and he is the heir of the country. He also leads the East Palace and guides the prince."

"I ordered the left prime minister Li Shanchang to be the prince's young teacher, the right prime minister Xu Da to be the prince's young teacher, and the middle book Pingzhang to record important military affairs often Yuchun and the prince's young guard!"

"Feng Sheng, the right governor, and the affairs of the right Zhan; the political affairs of the Zhongshu Pingzhang, Hu Mei, Liao Yongzhong, Li Bosheng, and the Tongzhi Zhan; Cheng, Fu Ying and Zhan affairs."

"Kang Maocai and Zhang Xingzu, the governors of the same government, also led the envoys, Gu Shi and Sun Xingzu, the deputy envoys of the governor's office, led the affairs of the government together. , Tang He and Yude, Liu Ji, the imperial censor, Zhang Yi, and a good doctor, Shi Wen Yuanji, and Fan Xianzu, who is also a guest of the prince!"

Zhu Biao led a group of ministers to kneel down to give thanks, and these people above have been stamped with his mark since this will.

This is the most luxurious Donggong Group in history, because this is Zhu Yuanzhang's own team, the civil and military team of the founding father!

After Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to get up, Li Shanchang led the servants of the East Palace to salute Zhu Biao: "The ministers see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Zhu Biao raised his hand and asked them to stand up, then he respectfully stepped aside, and Zhu Yuanzhang began to subdivide his duties.

Zhu Biao didn't have time to think about his vassals. Li Shanchang needless to say, Xu Da was actually named the Prime Minister of the Right!It seems that this is the father and emperor to use military officers to check and balance the civil officials headed by Li Shanchang, but the prime minister must also have civilian officials to check and balance the military officers. Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Bowen behind Li Shanchang...

Zhu Biao shook his head, he didn't need to care about it, but his team, although luxurious, were all arrogant soldiers.

In a short time, Zhu Yuanzhang's first court meeting was over. In fact, it was just a formality. The official handling of official affairs should be the next court meeting.

After Zhu Yuanzhang left, a group of ministers moved to his side in an instant: "Your Highness minister is the Zuocheng of the Eastern Palace, and His Highness minister is the Eastern Palace Tongzhi...

Zhu Biao had a friendly exchange with his future vassals, and when the crowd dispersed, Zhu Biao recalled that no one had come just now.

Li Shanchang was the first one, but Zhu Biao had already predicted that the young master of the prince, the young master of the prince, and the young guard of the prince were all officials in the Eastern Palace, and they were all responsible for teaching the prince.

But it is more in name. After all, it is impossible to really let the prince's young teacher Li Shanchang teach him knowledge, the prince's young teacher Xu Da teach him military law, and the prince's young teacher Chang Yuchun protects his safety closely.

Zhu Biao walked out of Fengtian Palace and walked towards Kunning Palace, thinking that his father must be there.

Halfway through, a palace maid came to invite him. When Zhu Biao walked into Kunning Palace, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were arguing about something, and Zhu Biao waved his hand.Liu Jin led the palace maid down.

When Zhu Biao stepped forward, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say loudly: "The world that I have worked so hard to conquer is not for the benefit of future generations."

Empress Ma said, "Then you shouldn't set such a national policy. Your Majesty, Chongba, you can't just focus on your eyes."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still not convinced: "How much can they eat if they die."

Empress Ma was still persuading him, and Zhu Biao understood after listening for a while. Zhu Yuanzhang was lonely since he was a child, and he was especially eager for family affection, so he planned to set a national policy and gave the royal family favorable treatment.

The first one is that the royal family will not have to go to work in the future, and these people are supported by the state finance, and the local royal family is paid by the local finance.For the royal family who do not go to work, Zhu Yuanzhang generally sets the salary level for them about 8 times that of ordinary officials! Moreover, there is no limit on the number of people, as long as the royal family is paid according to the level, from the age of 10, until death.

In addition to the high salary, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought about life, old age, sickness and death. He stipulated that when the royal family became ill, medical treatment was paid for by the imperial family, and the imperial family was served. When the royal family grew up and married a wife, the state allocated funds to them to allocate houses, fields, dowry, and service to them. .

When the descendants of the royal family die, they will receive a very generous funeral fee, enough to hold a luxurious funeral.

Therefore, in the case of not going to work, relying on the salary of the leader, and reimbursement for everything, in the end, the royal family has only one thing left, that is, to keep marrying wives, concubines to give birth to children, and even competition to give birth to children. According to records, At that time, the highest record for giving birth to sons was the Yuncheng Palace, which gave birth to more than 100 children, and his sons were especially able to give birth, all of them were dozens, dozens of children.

Zhu Biao knew that in the mid-Ming Dynasty, the annual fiscal revenue of many provinces could no longer support the royal family in the province. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family had a population of more than 100 million, and the huge expenditure was the most important reason for crushing the finance of the Ming Dynasty. One of the reasons for the demise of the last year is that the cost of raising the royal family is too high.

Zhu Biao walked behind Zhu Yuanzhang, pressed his shoulder and said, "Father, my son understands that you want my Zhu family's descendants to live well, but father, do you remember what you taught me when I was a child?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard that his son was standing by his wife's side: "We are also planning for your children and grandchildren! How do you want to help your mother talk to your mother!"

Zhu Biao replied with a smile: "Father, the emperor, is the supreme man in the world, and he speaks with heaven and follows the law! If what the mother said is unreasonable, why are you arguing with the mother here?"

Seeing that her son was on her side, Queen Ma took a sip of tea and said, "Your father is like this! You know it's wrong, but you still do it."

Zhu Biao quickly said: "Empress mother, the father emperor naturally has his father's consideration, but the father emperor is grateful for the difficulty of starting a business, and he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to suffer."

Seeing that the two big men have eased down.Zhu Biaocai opened his mouth to express his point of view: "The father and the emperor often educated the sons and ministers when they were young, and they should not learn the style of the children of the nobles of the previous dynasty. They did bad things, seized the land, raped women, colluded with the government, and amassed money."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice, "Our sons are not here yet."

Zhu Biao nodded: "They are naturally only sons in front of the father, but when they go out, they are the emperor's sons of Tianhuang nobles."

Zhu Biao continued: "Even if it is the son's generation, including the next generation, the father and emperor can discipline, but what about the future?
