In fact, Zhu Bai just returned the money to several brothers and then came back. Then he happened to see Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang walking out in a swaggering and thoughtful manner.
Li Shanchang would never say "no" to Zhu Yuanzhang at all.
If they can't reach an agreement, it must be Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen.
I didn't want to take care of it at first, but in order for him to be able to be a good-for-nothing prince with peace of mind in the future, I could only say a few more words.
In fact, he happened to hear Er Hu mention it when chatting with others, so he took advantage of it.
I don’t know if Lao Zhu can listen.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Little slippery, he is obviously the characteristic mentioned in comparison with Liu Shengun, but he does not mention Liu Shengun's name."
He remained calm and said, "Just one person?"
Zhu Bai tilted his head and said: "This kind of thing is not good when there are too many people talking and working on their own affairs. It's like a stretcher pulling force in different directions. If there is another one who is a stumbling block and seeks personal gain,
It’s even more impossible to do it. It’s better to do it alone.”
Zhu Biao hurriedly saluted: "This matter is related to the food rations of the people in the world. Please think twice."
Zhu Bai said: "Master Lan told me that some of his generals were dissatisfied with him and fought and quarreled with him. But once they went to the battlefield, they put aside their personal preferences and court battles and used them as they should.
After all, in the face of so many lives and the safety of the country, these are not important. At worst, we can worry about it after the war is over."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Did Lan Yu teach you? It's possible that after this battle, the person who is at odds with the commander-in-chief will take credit and climb over the commander-in-chief. What should we do then?!"
Zhu Bai smacked his lips: "No matter how powerful he is, isn't he just a civil servant? What can he do?"
Lao Zhu, can you be more confident?
To put it bluntly, the military power is in your hands, Lao Zhu, and Liu Shengun can just use his words, what else can he do?!
Zhu Yuanzhang sat down motionless, lowering his eyes and thinking.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai didn't say anything either.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We will discuss this matter later."
Zhu Biao understood that Zhu Yuanzhang had actually made up his mind, but he just didn't want to say it here.
Anyway, they had done everything they could, and there was nothing they could do if Zhu Yuanzhang refused to listen.
Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic and said: "Last time, I asked the Ministry of Rites to select monks with both ability and political integrity. A total of twenty were selected. Here is the list. Take a look. For these twenty monks, I also established a new monk in the Ministry of Rites.
They will be appointed as Directors so that I can be in charge of all the monks in the world. They will enter the capital at the end of the year and they will be given official titles in the spring of next year."
Zhu Biao handed it to him after reading it.
Zhu Bai suddenly realized that the two fathers and sons had taken his participation in politics as a matter of course.
This is not a good sign.
He originally wanted to be a leisurely prince.
Zhu Bai deliberately didn't look at it and put it directly back on Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with squinted eyes: "Don't you see if Dao Yan has been selected? Who was the person who was crying and shouting that he wanted to become a monk and study with Dao Yan?"
Zhu Bai could only take the list again and pretend to read it.
Dao Yan is really not on top...
Isn’t it said that Dao Yan is very powerful? How come he wasn’t chosen?
He tilted his head and thought about it.
There is only one possibility. Zhu Yuanzhang told the Ministry of Rites not to choose Dao Yan.
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang still blamed Dao Yan for his almost becoming a monk.
If this is the case, he has ruined Daoyan's career.
Amitabha, sin, sin, sin.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhu Yuanzhang coughed dryly and said: "Dao Yan is too ugly. Following the prince everywhere will damage the prestige of our Ming Dynasty. These are monks who I have personally interviewed. You can choose the one you like."
"
The corner of Zhu Bai's mouth twitched: Since he can't become a monk, why should he have a monk by his side to prevent him from spending too much time and alcohol?
He put down the list: "Father, I have figured it out. Food and wine have passed through my intestines, but they remain in the heart of the Buddha. As long as you have kind thoughts in your heart, you can learn from anyone."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Haha, it's not up to you now, you have to choose one."
Zhu Bai scratched his head, isn't this just shooting himself in the foot?
What should I do then? There will always be a monk chanting sutras with me, and it won't annoy me to death?
Zhu Yuanzhang saw his entanglement in his eyes and was secretly amused: Are you afraid that the monk will hinder you from causing trouble? I just want to send someone to follow you every day!
Zhu Bai could only ask hesitantly: "Which master talks less?"
It was as painful as being deceived into wearing a golden hoop.
Zhu Biao almost laughed out loud, stretched out his hand and clicked on the first one.
Zhu Bai suddenly realized, yes, yes, with Zhu Yuanzhang's character, these people must hold multiple positions.
The higher your official position, the busier you are.
The number one monk was busy with various government affairs and had no time to care about him.
Zhu Bai grinned: "This is the master."
Zhu Yuanzhang could not bear to restrain Zhu Bai too much. He pretended not to see through their little tricks and nodded: "Boy, your vision is not bad. This is Zen Master Zonglu of Tianjie Temple who was appointed to be the abbot. He studied Dharma with the famous monk Xiaoyin, taught Dharma and solved doubts. He is very popular.
The level is no less than Master Xiaoyin."
Zhu Bai's brain was confused after hearing this, and he understood one thing: this old monk had a profound spiritual practice and was very eloquent.
That's it, we're on the pirate ship.
There was already Liu Bowen who tortured me every day, and now an old monk came.
Monks generally live a long life. This monk is only over fifty. Maybe he will not die even if I die, which means he will torture me for the rest of his life.
What kind of fate do I have, why is it more miserable than coptis?!
Zhu Yuanzhang gloated and said, "Don't be late for the morning meeting tomorrow. It just so happens that we can do the four things you mentioned together."
Zhu Bai wrinkled his face: I'm so stupid. I have done so many things? Why can't I think about it so much?!
The light snow turned to heavy snow at night, and in the morning, the sky and fields were covered with white snow.
Zhu Bai walked through the blue-gleaming snow to go to court early in the morning, not in the mood to enjoy the snow.
He gritted his teeth and made up his mind: As long as Zhu Yuanzhang didn't kill him or beat him today, he would never say anything.
Zhu Biao waited for him at the gate of the inner palace, and then led him to Fengtian Hall.
The civil and military officials over there also came in, and passed through the snow-covered square silently like two rows of fish in the deep sea.
Today, a rare thing was that a heater was lit in the main hall.
It was warm after entering, which made Zhu Bai feel more and more sleepy.
It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately wanted to trouble Zhu Bai and now asked him to stand on the side of the military attache and opposite Zhu Biao.
This way Zhu Bai can't secretly doze off against Zhu Biao.
After Zhu Yuanzhang came up and sat down, he had someone read an imperial edict, which mainly talked about four things.
Regarding taxes, he accepted everyone's opinions and took a less drastic step, changing them to half silver and half in kind.
Coins, officials' salaries, and military pay were all issued in copper coins, and it was stipulated that every state government must pay a certain amount of silver every month in exchange for copper coins for circulation.
The list of monk officials has been decided. The first Youshanshi of the Senglu Division is Zen Master Zonglu. The others are...
Guancang, appointed Liu Ji as the official censor of Guancang. From tomorrow he will be responsible for going to various places to supervise the construction of "official grain banks". The assistant staff will be selected by Liu Ji. The remaining details will be announced after Liu Ji discusses with the emperor.
When the officials heard this, some were happy and some were sad.
Zhu Bai yawned quietly and muttered to himself: What is the point of discussing with officials? It's just to read a manuscript.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you have any suggestions?"
Zhu Bai suddenly sobered up: If you don't say this, nothing will happen.
As soon as this sentence is said, it is like the referee announcing the start of the game, and there will be an immediate quarrel.
