Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 15

"Sir, why don't you follow me to be an official?"

Although Shi Naian is very noble, Zhu Biao doesn't want to let go of any useful talents.

"Emperor Zhu asked me to be an official with him before, but I refused, and Madam Ma went to look for me many times. I also appreciate your sincerity.

When I was young, I wanted to serve the country. I was full of enthusiasm and wanted to make great achievements in the officialdom. Now that I am old, these things have faded away.It is very satisfying to write some unofficial stories about heroes. "

"Heroic novel, is the Wang Lun in Mr.'s story Zhang Shicheng?" Zhu Biao guessed.

"What I write is all fiction, with current shadows, such as the Tong family brothers who smuggled salt in this story, and Bian Yuanheng who killed the tiger with his bare hands. There are traces."

……

Seeing Shi Naian's insistence, Zhu Biao stopped talking, everyone has his own choice.

Shi Naian was unwilling to be an official, but recommended his apprentice Luo Guanzhong instead.

In the past few days, in order to persuade Lao Zhu, he himself has spent his time thinking, more importantly, he does not want him to be ridiculed by future generations.

In his previous life, when Zhang Xianzhong was on the run, he went to Zhang Fei Temple. When he knew that Zhang Fei was serving in the temple, he felt that his surname and clan belonged to one family, so he went to the temple to worship.

Zhang Xianzhong, who had no culture, even made a classical sacrificial article, but he couldn't understand it and killed the literati, so he wrote one himself.

The general meaning is: Your surname is Zhang, and I am also surnamed Zhang. If this is the case, we belong to Lianzong.

Because of this, Zhang Xianzhong became the laughing stock of his administration.

So it is impossible to let Lao Zhu listen to Hu Weiyong's carelessness and do this.

Zhu Biao sat in the tavern until late at night, and then happily left the Liangshanbo tavern.

Zhu Biao returned to the yard, Yu'er and Jin'er boiled hot water, and even made the beds neatly.

"Master, you are back. Are you hungry?" Yu'er stood at the door and greeted Zhu Biao softly.

"Ah, sir, you're back." Jin'er ran out from the back yard and rubbed Zhu Biao's arm.

Sanbao followed behind and said, "Master, there is hot soup in the house, do you want some of it?"

Zhu Biao didn't have much control over the people in his own yard, but several of them were taught by Ma Shi, and they were very measured in everything they did.

Originally, Zhu Biao was a little worried about whether Lao Zhu would regard Zhu Xi as his ancestor again, but he didn't expect that when night fell, Yu Yi who was beside Lao Zhu came to pass the message.

……

……

At Lao Zhu's office, there are only Lao Zhu, Ma Shi and Zhu Biao.

"Chongba, this Hu Weiyong is a sycophant, giving you bad ideas."

"Sister, do you think Liu Bowen is good?"

Old Zhu knew her kindness, so he said to her: "I haven't ascended the throne and founded the country, I don't think it's right to kill the heroes."

Ma immediately denied that he didn't ask Lao Zhu to kill Hu Weiyong, but just told him not to listen to Hu Weiyong all the time.

"Biaoer, we want to hear your opinion."

"Liu Bowen is a talent, but he is more bookish and arrogant, and he can be reused after training.

In the past few years of studying with Mr. Song, the faction between ministers and ministers will not disappear in history. After my father ascended the throne, he must be detached from them and distinguish right from wrong, so that both sides can use them to achieve a balance. "

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his son's book was not in vain, and he was worthy of his son, so he let him continue talking.

"Sometimes, what other people let you see is exactly what they want you to see. To rule the world and rule hundreds of officials is not achieved by sitting in the golden palace. If you only listen to their words, you are tantamount to being blind."

Feeling that Lao Zhu was very satisfied with his words, Zhu Biao was relieved.

Regarding the matter of being a hero, Lao Zhu knew what he was thinking, but he still wanted to test his son's thoughts.

He pondered, if his son was right, he would have to decide many important matters.

With permission, Zhu Biao didn't hesitate any longer, and said truthfully: "Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong and the others each have their own advantages.

In this world, some people can be bought with money, but corrupt officials are the least valuable. Some people can be bought with an official, and it is enough for an official to do it, but some people have to exchange it with the grace of the emperor. "

Lao Zhu nodded and said to Ma Shi next to him, "We are smart."

The day of ascension to the throne has been confirmed on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the name of the country has been set as Daming, and the specific etiquette issues are left to Ma to decide.

Except Liu Bowen's sincere uncle Zhu Biao had some objections, but Lao Zhu and Ma Shi said that it was Liu Bowen's own request.

So Lao Zhu and Mrs. Ma discussed the conferment of Liu Bowen as Bowen Chengyi, and Lao Zhu had a small book in his heart to remember the matter of conferring Bowen Liu, so Zhu Biao didn't say much.

The three of them discussed the canonization of heroes until midnight.

Zhu Biao bowed and nodded, and when he was about to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him.

"Biao'er, you don't need to ask us about some things in the future. Do what you want to do boldly, and just go forward with your head held high. In the future, the sky of Ming Dynasty will still need you to support it. The people of Ming Dynasty are also your subjects, and Let's manage it together."

Zhu Biao was not surprised, nodded and walked towards his yard.

…………

Mashi packed up his things and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Chongba, what did you mean by what you said to Biaoer just now?"

"Sister, we think that after Xu Da and the others conquer Dadu and the people are stable, the power of the world will be handed over to Biu'er to manage, and we will go to the north and south of the river to patrol. You and Biu'er are our hearts and minds, and we cannot live without one."

Mrs. Ma didn't expect Lao Zhu to suddenly become so affectionate, and shyly said: "You only miss your son, where did you miss me?"

Lao Zhu stood up and smiled, "Good girl, quickly take out our little book, these brothers have long wanted to be high officials and generals."

Until dawn, the lights in Lao Zhu's yard were still on, and he was chatting with Ma Shi about things.

After Zhu Biao heard Lao Zhu's words tonight, he was even more sure that Lao Zhu had a record of merit and demerit for these people.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, those who had non-military merit could not be granted the title of marquis, while in the Ming Dynasty, all nobles could not be conferred without non-military merit, and titles could not be granted unless they were specially ordered.

……

a few days later.

Zhu Biao learned about Feng Gong from Ma Shi, which is exactly the same as the general trend of history.

Liu Bowen was named Boss of Sincerity, which was requested by Liu Bowen himself. He told Mrs. Ma and Lao Zhu that Li Shanchang was like Xiao He in the Han Dynasty, and he should be under him.

What's more, the matter of conferring a duke and worshiping a prince cannot be settled in a bowl of water. If there are too many disputes, it will be too difficult.

Mrs. Ma praised his good qualities, and Lao Zhu made him a sincere uncle.

For Zhu Biao, after the founding of the country is the time for him to do something, which is a new starting point.

History has infinite possibilities.

As time passed, Zhu Biao went to Song Lian's place as usual, and Li Shanchang came to give him some things a few times, but he accepted them calmly and babbled a few words that were not painful.

It was nothing more than insinuating and wanting to know some inside information, but Zhu Biao properly rounded them back.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
