Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh official order
It's nothing more than a gift of an official position. After all, it can only be regarded as an honor. Although the grade is a bit too high, the Chen family still has a good daughter in the East Palace, and the future is promising, so it is not too much.
The real benefit should be the first-grade imperial concubine. The imperial concubine has a salary but no real power. It represents more of a kind of honor and appreciation, which means recognition and affirmation from the royal family.
Moreover, the title of Mrs. Gaoming is not only her own honor but also the honor of the entire family. Once she is canonized, Mrs. Gaoming can place her portrait in the family ancestral hall to be enshrined by future generations.
The wife of General Secretary Chen Youzong is now only a lady of the third rank, which is not low, but the wives of many founding princes opposite her are inevitably a little lacking in confidence, and it will be different from now on.
Zhu Biao wants to use the Chen family as a model, a model that everyone in the world can clearly see. If the honor of the founding nobles comes from the emperor, then Zhu Biao will now officially start to promote his direct line to the highest level.
At the top of the power structure.
The matter of the Chen family was settled. Zhu Biao also turned to the memorial he wanted to find. He picked up the approved memorial of Suzhou Guard Commander Cai Ben and read it again: "My son heard that Wei Guan was in Suzhou during his tenure.
He has made great achievements, but what Cai Ben said may be exaggerated."
The memorial stated that Cai Ben impeached Wei Guan with ulterior motives. Since he took office as the prefect of Suzhou, he had often communicated with the old officials of the Yuan Dynasty and restored the palace to Jing. There must be something different about it.
The emperor's personal approval was to order Zhang Du, the supervisory censor of the Yushitai, to go to Suzhou to investigate the matter. This secret order would not go through Zhongshu Sheng, but would be passed directly to Zhang Du through the General Affairs Department.
Some of the supervisory censors of the imperial court openly inspected local military, political and people's livelihood matters, but there were also some who secretly went to investigate under secret orders. Generally, they could set off on errands with just an old donkey and a suitcase. Most of the corruption cases involving local officials were caused by them.
Found out secretly.
Zhu Yuanzhang responded casually: "How old is Wei Guan? How can we believe that he has any other plans? It's just that Suzhou is special, so it's better to have someone take a look. Zhang Du not only went to check Wei Guan, but also went to check it out."
Check Cai Ben."
This style was very much like that of his father, but Zhu Biao still felt that something was wrong. It wouldn't matter if it was a remote place. Because there were so many remnants of Zhang Shicheng in Suzhou, it had always been an important place for secret surveillance by the pro-military Duwei Mansion. Any disturbance would be
It was impossible to hide this from his father, so there was no need to send a supervisory censor to investigate the situation.
However, Zhu Biao did not continue to ask further. Since Comrade Zhu didn't want to tell him for the time being, it must be the reason. He was just waiting and watching, and he was just investigating.
He beckoned Fugui to step forward and move the unapproved memorials on the imperial desk to his desk. Zhu Biao walked to the side of the hall and looked at the incense burner that was blowing out green smoke. It should be these two things.
Offered daily.
The Suan Ni has its head raised, its mouth is open, its eyes are protruding, its fangs are erect, its ears are biting, its teeth are biting the embroidered ribbon, its tongue and lips are rolled up, its eyes are dotted with ink and underglaze. There is a collar around its neck, with three bells and chains hanging on it, and its tail is hollow in the shape of a flame.
It has a pointed shape, raised high behind its back, and its hind legs each have five sharp claws, naturally bent and squatting on the cover.
The lid is in the shape of a six-petal lotus flower, with three weeks of stacks on it, dozens of breast nails and an hydrangea. Suan Ni is flying in the air, with the mane on its back curled up, shining brightly, and the aroma of the furnace can linger from Suan Ni's mouth.
It floats out, quite beautifully.
"This thing doesn't look like the style of the Imperial Construction Bureau. Where did it come from?"
The eunuch in charge of the incense burner in the Jinshen Palace hurriedly reported back: "Your Majesty, this thing was sent as a tribute by the envoys sent by the King of Goryeo. The Holy One saw the novelty and ordered the slaves to move it in this morning."
After the superior Zhu Yuanzhang finished reviewing a pile of memorials, he put down the langhao pen in his hand and took a gulp of the teacup beside him: "If you like it, take it back with you soon."
Zhu Biao shook his head and said with a smile: "It would be better for me not to take away what my father has. It would be great if my father could return the dagger that belongs to me."
Lao Zhu coughed and continued to review at his desk. Although Zhu Biao already knew where his father kept the dagger he brought back from the Northern Expedition, he had long since given up on taking it back. He just said it to make fun of him.
Shaking his head helplessly, he returned to the desk and sat down: "It's not a festival, it's not a celebration. Goryeo sent envoys to pay tribute with far-reaching intentions. I guess they know about Chahan's visit to Beijing."
Zhu Yuanzhang casually took out the letter paper that had been sealed with lacquer from the desk and asked the eunuch waiting at the side to hand it over: "The credentials of Goryeo are the same as usual, but this time there is an additional letter from the Queen Mother of Goryeo to your mother."
Zhu Biao took it and read it, the content was plain and simple, mostly respectful greetings, some praising Empress Ma's past deeds, including greetings to the Crown Princess, and in the end he expressed sincerely that he hoped to receive a reply from the Empress of the Ming Dynasty.
.
Zhu Biao sighed: "She was so ill that she sought medical treatment. It seems that Empress Dowager Mingde wanted to save the life of Prince Shen of Goryeo, Tutuo Buhua. Unfortunately, the situation has reached this point, and Tutuo Buhua will undoubtedly die."
She casually handed the letter to Fugui and asked him to deliver it to Kunning Palace. Empress Ma had never interfered in such a major matter that related to the political affairs of the two countries. How could an outsider compare to her husband and son?
In fact, when Li Renren united with the Goryeo clan to welcome back Totuo Buhua, his fate was doomed. Zhu Biao would not tolerate his own plan being wantonly disrupted. Even if Naha did not cooperate, Zhu Biao had a way.
Kill Tuotuo Buhua.
The question is just what price you are willing to pay. Liaodong Liu Yi, Gao Jianu, and Xian Wuhua not only allowed Ming Dynasty to further its control in Liaodong, but also allowed the pro-military Duwei Mansion to take advantage of the situation to infiltrate Jinshan and kill Naha.
It's not very realistic, but it's still possible to kill other people.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in power, ignored his son's words. To him, Goryeo was just a barbarian vassal state. What was worth remembering was that he did quite well in raising horses and gathering ginseng, which was of some use. But if his son wanted to play and practice his skills, then let him do it.
Zhu Biao stopped talking and began to review the memorial in front of him. As soon as he opened the first copy, he felt his temples jump. The governor's office reported to Xi'an that the two hundred thousand garrison soldiers had been suffering from the bitter cold in the Helan area of Xi'an for a long time.
The imperial court allocated more than 334,400 taels of silver and more than 147,700 pieces of cotton cloth.
It's okay to say that the brocade cloth has its own reserves, but the silver account department probably doesn't have it. Even if it does, it has already been arranged for its ownership, but it has not yet been allocated to the national treasury.
Usually this is done directly and the Governor's office is asked to renegotiate with the Ministry of Household Affairs. If the money is not enough, other material subsidies can be used. This can always be fooled. The so-called patching up is like this for another three years.
But Zhu Biao was still ready to agree after a moment of heartache. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the salaries of imperial officials have been very small, not to mention the border guards. In the past few years, they were closely following the North and South armies and paid little attention to the troops stationed in other places.
This is not the answer anyway, you have to let people eat dumplings.
In fact, I still have money on hand. Fortunately, I collected some money from several major business gangs in the past few days. Otherwise, Zhu Biao wouldn't be able to get so much money. He found out inexplicably that he really couldn't save money. How much money could be passed through his hands.
All gone.
But we can't agree so readily. If the guys in the court know that the Crown Prince still has a surplus of grain, the amount of grain that needs to be allocated tomorrow will be in the millions, and no one will spend the Crown Prince's money.
Feeling distressed.
The Ministry of War reported that Peng Gong, the head of the Ministry of War, and Peng Wanli, the Luzhou garrison commander, gathered 2,660 soldiers and generals from the old school of the Ming clan in Sichuan into an army. They were ordered by General Zhengnan to go to Guizhou to attack the rebellious ministers.
The military lieutenants and generals who originally belonged to the Ming clan were integrated into one army. This was a plan that Liu Bowen had mentioned in his secret report two months ago. Once these people died, the foundation of the Ming clan would completely disappear.
Even though Ming Sheng brought most of the Ming family's children to Beijing, there are still a few branch children who are still relying on the dangerous corners of Bashu to resist. They have repeatedly suppressed and won, but they are still killed. It can be seen that they cannot do without people who are willing to do so.
s help.
There must be innocent people among them, but neither Liu Bowen nor Tang He was in the mood to waste energy on them. They simply sent them directly to Yunnan and Guizhou to suppress the bandits. Only those who survived were qualified to talk about loyalty.
According to the Zhongshu Provincial Report, in the seven provinces of Huguang, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Shandong, Niaoxi, Shanxi, and Henan, the iron weight of this year is 8,564,450 jins, and the copper weight of Chizhou Prefecture is 180,000 jins.
