The next morning, Lao Wu, who realized the great harmony of life, opened the door of the bridal chamber feeling refreshed and saw his brothers leaning against the wall, sleeping in an unsteady state.
Not for the dragon robes they wear and the black gauze winged crowns on their heads, there is no way to connect these guys with the princes. There is also a prince wearing bright yellow...
"Wake up, wake up, why are you falling asleep here?" He quickly pushed his brothers to wake up.
"Well..." The brothers woke up one after another. The eldest brother stretched himself and realized that it was already bright. He asked strangely: "Hey, I slept for so long?"
"Yeah." The fourth child touched the deep brick wall mark on his face and said, "I didn't drink either, right?"
"Lao Wu, did you drug our food?" The third brother wiped the saliva on his cheeks and looked at Lao Wu suspiciously.
"How could it be?" Lao Wu squinted his eyes and said innocently: "You are all my beloved brothers and sisters, how could I drug you?"
But I secretly added in my heart, I am just afraid that you may not sleep well, so I will give you some dietary therapy...
Although the brothers were doubtful, the fifth brother still wanted to take his new wife to worship his ancestors and his parents-in-law, so the brothers had no choice but to let him go first.
~~
On the way back, the prince asked Lao Liu to come with him.
After getting in the car, the prince couldn't help but laugh and said: "This old man is usually quiet, but I didn't expect him to be so wilted."
"Haha, the fifth brother is rather shy." Zhu Zhen also said with a smile. The brothers are better than monkeys when it comes to putting on hair, so they naturally guessed what the fifth brother said.
However, they didn't point it out in public, so they could pretend they weren't being calculated.
"Should I say it, I haven't slept so deeply for a long time." The prince moved his shoulders and said, "I feel so refreshed!"
"Brother, you are too tired." Zhu Zhen saw that the prince had lost a lot of weight and had dark circles under his eyes. "You have to pay attention to rest."
"It's okay. My father is more tired than me. He only sleeps for two hours every day." The prince smiled and said: "My eldest brother can still sleep for one more hour. My father is fifty and can handle it. My eldest brother is young and can also handle it."
You can live in it.”
"People and their physiques cannot be generalized." Zhu Zhen hurriedly advised: "I was once extremely... Oh no, people have different needs for sleep. Some people only need two hours of sleep.
.But there are only one such person in a thousand, so please don’t force yourself."
"Hey, good brother." The prince patted his shoulder and finally told the truth: "There's nothing I can do about it. I have to visit the ministers every day, listen to and review the reports of various yamen. All internal and external memorials are also reviewed.
I have to take a look first..."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said: "Zhongshu Sheng still feels that the power has been snatched away from me, and they are not telling me whether they are overt or covert. They are also inciting the subordinates to send more memorials, so that I can't stand it anymore and petition to restore their power."
"Are they so arrogant?" Zhu Zhen asked in surprise.
"It was okay before. After the General Affairs Department was established, it seemed that the Zhongshu Province was completely... In your words, it was broken." The prince sighed: "For this reason, my father re-promoted Wang Guangyang and made Hu Weiyong the prime minister of the left.
, he serves as the right prime minister, and I want him to check and balance. But Wang Guangyang, alas, it is so disappointing..."
Wang Guangyang was from Gaoyou and was a Jinshi in the late Yuan Dynasty. He was the second-ranked civil servant in the Huaixi Gang. In the third year of Hongwu, Boss Zhu was awarded the title of meritorious official. He and Liu Bowen were awarded the title of earl together and became one of the three civil servants with outstanding merits.
His status is evident. Boss Zhu once treated him as a prime minister and trained him.
But he was good at government affairs, but bad at power struggles. When he was appointed Zhongshu Zuocheng, Yang Xian was his subordinate. As a result, he was exiled to Hainan.
After Yang Xian's defeat, Li Shanchang resigned and returned to his hometown. He was recalled as Prime Minister of the Right, and Hu Weiyong was his subordinate. As a result, he was demoted again...
This time Boss Meng Zhu relapsed again. At first he claimed to be ill and refused to give up. Later, he really couldn't handle Boss Zhu. He had no choice but to return to Beijing to take up the post, but he started to act openly...playing chess at work all day, drinking after get off work, and wasted on political affairs. Let alone fight with Hu Weiyong.
Seeing that he was so virtuous, Hu Weiyong was naturally very grateful. His uncle and eldest uncle paid him a short compliment and gave him a pair of jade chess pieces. He also found two chess pieces from the Hanlin Academy to play chess with him.
This friendly group of Zhongshu Province confused Boss Zhu. It was even unclear for a moment whether Wang Guangyang was hiding his capabilities and biding his time and building up his strength secretly, or whether he was really scared...
"Good guy..." Zhu Zhen said, "Good guy, if this Lao Wang were in another era, he would definitely survive until the last episode."
It's a pity that this is the Hongwu Dynasty.
"Wang Guangyang's performance has further fueled Hu Xiang's arrogance. Now he is leading Zhongshu Sheng to play against me all day long, and Yushitai is also venting his anger on him." Zhu Biao complained to his brother depressedly:
"I want to replace him, or at least replace Wang Guangyang or Chen Ning, but my father won't allow it... saying this is a training for me."
"Perhaps Father, you have other intentions." Zhu Zhen had never seen his eldest brother in such a bad mood, and couldn't help but tell him: "After all, it is difficult to find another brave man like Hu Weiyong.
.”
"Hiss..." The prince gasped and turned to stone on the spot. After a while, he gave a high-five and said with great joy: "I understand! That's what happened!"
"Hey, you old six, how did you get this head?" He even got carried away in a rare moment, hugged him and kissed him hard.
"I haven't washed my face yet..." Lao Liu wiped his face in disgust.
The prince almost didn't gag, he felt like he was kissed with oil...
~~
But people are in high spirits when happy events happen. The prince, who finally figured it out under the inspiration of Lao Liu, swept away the gloom in his heart and said with a bright smile:
"I heard from the third child that you did a good job in Suzhou."
"It's not bad, it's not bad," Zhu Zhen said with a wry smile: "I've heard it all. There are more memorials to impeach me than to impeach my third brother."
"Don't worry, big brother will take care of it for you. If I can't take care of this, why should I be a prince?" Zhu Biao waved his hand and said with approval on his face:
"I don't even read those bullets. Why don't you stop farming when you hear the cries of crickets? I only look at how Suzhou City is doing now? Has the situation gotten better?"
"Of course it's getting better." Zhu Zhen said proudly.
"That's right, I also learned that the current Suzhou City can be said to have prosperous industries and a prosperous market; the people are also living and working in peace and contentment, and the entire Jiangnan has improved!" Zhu Biao gave a thumbs up and said: "In just two or three days
Such a big change has occurred in just a few months. What is a miracle? This is a miracle!"
"Brother, if you praise me like that, I'll go crazy." Lao Liu smiled so hard that his teeth showed.
"Then let me ask another unpleasant question - I heard that your commercial fleet failed?" the prince asked with a smile.
