Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 8

After the court, Zhu Biao followed Zhu Yuanzhang and walked slowly to Fengtian Hall.

"Father, it's time to do it after a while." Zhu Biao held a stack of memorials and said while reading, "He should be in a hurry."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction, and asked earnestly, "Biaoer, do you think this will be done?"

Zhu Biao was silent for a moment, and then said, "Get rid of Hu Weiyong, abolish the Ministry of Education, and the matter will be handled by six departments. This is not a bad thing, Hu Weiyong is too conceited. Over the years, he has gathered friends in the court. Today it can be Hu Weiyong, tomorrow There may be Ma Weiyong."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. He is a character with a strong desire for power, and he also has a little sense of insecurity.

Hu Weiyong has been too arbitrary in recent years, and he often handles many major cases such as life, death and dethrone without asking Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions.

This prime minister is essentially a prime minister. With such a prime minister's exclusive power, the imperial power may fall aside.

"That Chen Branding Iron should be cleaned up, that person is Hu Dang." Zhu Biao said calmly, "The doctor Yu Shi colluded with the prime minister, and he deserves to die. This is also a cruel official. If he is killed, he can correct the official style and serve the common people. A confession."

Chen Baotie, this is Chen Ning, the imperial historian.In Suzhou, the collection of taxes was very harsh, and people were often burned with a branding iron. At that time, officials and common people suffered a lot.Now that he is back in Yingtian, he is also extremely cruel, and he doesn't care much about some of Zhu Yuanzhang's admonitions.

The last prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, or the last prime minister in Chinese history, has entered the countdown.

This big net has also been opened long ago. Zhu Yuanzhang has actually been deeply disgusted with the existence of the power of the prime minister. He cannot tolerate too much power over the prime minister, and he never hopes that there will be officials with power over everyone. It is only a matter of time before the prime minister is abolished. .

In particular, Hu Weiyong's arbitrariness made the conflict between Xiangquan and imperial power more clear.Hu Weiyong has been prime minister for seven years, arrogating power and messing up the government.Only by getting rid of this prime minister can he be in power.

Looking at Zhu Biao who was reviewing the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled even more happily.

His Biao'er has been carefully taught since he was a child, and he has been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child. He has a kind and generous personality and is very friendly to his younger brothers.Gentle and refined, benevolent and attentive, quite Confucian style.Inside and outside the court, the prince was full of praise.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang knew that under the benevolent appearance of his prince, there was some determination and ruthlessness.

After the father and son finished their official duties, Zhu Biao asked, "Father, does Yinger have too much homework?"

"Ying'er is smart and easy to learn, so we won't stop you." Zhu Yuanzhang said cheerfully, very happy and proud, "Biaoer, it's not that we say you, you are not as smart as our Yinger. That's good, you are better than us , our grandson is stronger than you!"

Zhu Biao became happy, and told the truth, "Father, Erchen and Ying'er can read, but they can't compare with Father. If there is no father's teaching, Erchen and Ying'er will have no benefit."

Zhu Yuanzhang is also not humble, think about it for this reason, "Let's just think, we are the founding emperor, let's level the road, you and Ying'er will not take detours in the future. Let's get rid of these power ministers and titans, Leave you a safe and secure country."

Zhu Biao rubbed his temples, and then said, "Father, do you want to take Yinger back to the East Palace?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pushed away the memorial, just finished educating his son.There is no need to say more about the rest, and there is no need to mention it.

Striding towards the Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually, "Where did the grandson go?"

A eunuch immediately replied, "My lord, after my grandson finished his studies, he went to the East Palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang is not surprised, mainly because this is how his good grandson has always behaved.After finishing schoolwork every day, I basically have to go to the East Palace to play with my younger siblings. This is a reliable and good brother, and he is really like a father.

Keep acting cute, it seems that Zhu Xiongying can only do these things now.For him, steady and healthy growth is more important.

Regarding rights, Zhu Xiongying doesn't have much to do now.His age and his ability are not enough to consider some unrealistic things.

"Brother Huang, I want to catch butterflies." Zhu Xi stumbled and ran over, a little excited, "Butterflies, I want butterflies!"

Zhu Xiongying was very happy, and said in high spirits, "Xi'er wait, and watch Brother Huang catch butterflies for you!"

Zhu Xiongying, who was full of confidence, started to act, but he seemed to be playing tricks, the butterflies couldn't be caught at all, but let the butterflies fly around.

Zhu Xi yelled at the side, although Zhu Yue didn't understand, she just laughed beside her.

"Stupid nephew, if you can't catch butterflies, let's see how you end up!" Zhu Zhu was a little amused, and urged from a long distance, "If you can't catch butterflies, I won't give you food!"

It seems very likely that he was abused by the 'vicious' little aunt, so he probably won't be able to eat this meal.While he couldn't eat, he was reprimanded and criticized by his two younger sisters, and the image of the wise and mighty emperor brother quickly collapsed.

Empress Ma thought it was funny, this kind of life was extremely beautiful for her, and this was the beautiful life she was looking forward to.

There are warm moments on the royal side, and there are also some things happening in the court.

Yushi Zhongcheng Tujie and Shang Song reported Hu Weiyong's Nantong Japanese pirates to the north to join the old Yuan, intending to rebel.

In the first month of the 13th year of Hongwu, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong said that Liquan gushed out of the well of his old house, which was auspicious, and invited Zhu Yuanzhang to come and watch it.

Zhu Yuanzhang happily went, and when he reached the Xihua Gate, the eunuch Yun Qi held the reins tightly, unable to speak, and desperately pointed at the Hu family.Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the situation was serious, so he returned immediately. When he boarded the palace city, he found that there was dust flying over Hu Weiyong's house, and there were soldiers hiding in the walls.

This is terrible, Zhu Yuanzhang acted quickly and executed Hu Weiyong, Chen Ning and others!

Yun Qi became Huang Ming's first loyal eunuch, but none of them, including Zhu Xiongying, had heard of the existence of this eunuch Yun Qi.

In fact, many people understand that Hu Weiyong, the prime minister, may not be thinking about such things as rebellion.This is just a means of Zhu Yuanzhang, this is just a struggle between imperial power and ministerial power, this is just Zhu Yuanzhang's intention to strengthen the centralization of power.

Hu Weiyong was killed, the Ministry of Education was overthrown, the emperor has the supreme power, and the centralization has been further strengthened!
For cultural relic officials, this may not be a good thing.But for those rulers, this must be a very good thing, the emperor has more power in his hands!

In this confrontation, Zhu Yuanzhang won a complete victory, which also made him even more proud and proud.This is just the beginning, he will continue to clean up some arrogant soldiers to make this world more stable.

When purging the court internally, Zhu Yuanzhang also launched the third Northern Expedition against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and Xiping Hou Muying was the main general this time.

Crossing the Yellow River, crossing the Helan Mountains, and passing through quicksand, it took seven days to reach fifty miles from the enemy camp.Mu Ying divided his troops and advanced in four directions, attacking the enemy from the rear all the way, and flanking the enemy from the left and right in two.

This is a modest victory, but many people know that this is an appetizer, and there will be bigger military operations in the future. Zhu Yuanzhang needs a more stable country, and he can't wait to cut off all foreign troubles.

Zhu Xiongying didn't care so much about the affairs of the court for the time being, and he couldn't care so much now.

His grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang is in power, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who is young and powerful, is full of ambitions, and he still needs to manage this country in a more orderly manner.

What's more, Zhu Xiongying's father, the prince, had already started to manage the government. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered all political affairs and ordered the prince to punish him, and then heard about it.To put it simply, Zhu Biao has already started to do some work of the emperor!
It is not Zhu Xiongying's turn to say anything at this time, even if he may show a little desire for power, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao may not be very angry.It's just that Zhu Xiongying is not suitable to participate in political affairs at this age and in the current situation.

It is enough to be a smart, well-behaved, and studious grandson, and it is enough to show your filial and friendly qualities.

If he occasionally showed his benevolent but decisive and ruthless characteristics, it would probably make Zhu Yuanzhang happier.

After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, this is his own grandson, and he only hopes that his own grandson will be better and more outstanding.

But there is a premise, such a grandson, such a powerful grandson, can only be his eldest son, Zhu Xiongying.If other sons and grandchildren have such qualities, it will not work!
