Ming Dynasty: Domination of the World from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 392: Important ministers of a country must still have ties!
"Ok, deal."

"I will write a letter to Lao Wu later and ask him to call the opera troupe from Kaifeng Prefecture over." Zhu Biao said with a satisfied smile.

immediately.

Zhu Biao frowned.

He suddenly thought of something. If it was a drama, wouldn't it mean that someone would play his father? Who in the world would dare to play? Who would dare to act? Wouldn't that just let people die?
Zhu Biao waved his hand again and said, "Not appropriate."

"Your Majesty is now the emperor, how can you be played by an actor?"

"This is a bad idea. Very bad idea."

Zhu Biao regained his sanity. This move would certainly make His Majesty happy, but at the same time, it would also attract a lot of criticism and might even cause the death of these actors. He wanted to use this to promote his father, not to commit murder.

Xia Zhibai smiled and said calmly: "Your Highness, don't worry."

"Since the Marshal has come, there must be some blank space. The end of this scene is just the people cheering and looking forward to calling out 'The Marshal has come', but in the end, there is no real appearance of the 'Marshal'. Whether it is killing the landlords and bullies or distributing land to the people, it is all after the Marshal comes."

"This way, we can avoid the important issues and focus on the trivial ones."

Zhu Biao was stunned.

He thought about it carefully, nodded seriously, and said: "This is indeed a solution, but these must be strictly enforced, and there must not be any mistakes. Otherwise, if other officials are taken to task, it may bring a lot of killing to the local area."

"I still don't want to see people being killed because of these things."

Zhu Biao looked somewhat reluctant.

Xia Zhibai nodded and said, "That's right."

"Your Highness, what you need to do now is to speak up for those veterans, express your recognition and praise for the veterans who have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and use this to re-establish the lofty image of the Ming army in the world. At the same time, use this to promote your own governance philosophy and develop some confidants. But I also kindly remind Your Highness."

"Between the ruler and his subjects, the most important thing is to be honest with each other, not to hide secrets."

Zhu Biao looked at Xia Zhibai deeply and said seriously, "I know. I will report to Your Majesty what I am going to do truthfully. I will not let Your Majesty have any grudges or doubts. As Your Majesty's eldest son, I know better than you how to please Your Majesty."

Zhu Biao smiled.

Xia Zhibai still underestimated the close relationship between himself and his father.

The reason he was able to secure his position as crown prince was not only because he was the eldest son, but more importantly because of his father's trust. Before Xia Zhibai appeared, he had no privacy in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. He would tell Zhu Yuanzhang every detail and would never keep anything to himself.

Because of this.

Only a father and son can work together so sincerely.

It's just that recently, he has gradually awakened his personal consciousness and realized that he can no longer stay under Zhu Yuanzhang's protection and wings for a long time. This is why he has come up with the idea of ​​making some changes and making some positive attempts to put into practice some of his original ideas on governing the country and loving the people and being righteous. But these have also been told to Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise he would not have been in a cold war with His Majesty for so long last month.

He would never tell Xia Zhibai this.

He is king.

Xia Zhibai is a minister.

Would a monarch tell his subjects everything?
If the ministers knew everything about the monarch, what secrets and privacy would the monarch have? Wouldn't the ministers see everything, which would make people feel uneasy? However, Xia Zhibai's performance made Zhu Biao feel at ease.

After all, Xia Zhibai can't see through everything.

He just can't figure out the relationship between the monarch and his subjects!
But this is normal. Xia Zhibai is alone and it is difficult for him to understand the importance of family. Thinking of this, Zhu Biao said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Master Xia, you are probably still single? If you have a girl you like, I can help you find her." "You are not young anymore, you should start a family and build a career."

"If not, I do have a few suitable candidates. Would you like to hear about them?"

Zhu Biao looked at Xia Zhibai with a smile.

Hear the words.

Xia Zhibai's expression froze.

There was a distinct unnatural look on her cheeks.

He stiffened his body and declined with a bitter smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Love cannot be forced. If the hearts are not together, even if you force them together, it will only make the two sides feel at odds. Moreover, women are always troublesome. I am devoted to the country and do not want to be distracted by this. I really do not have the energy to deal with it."

"When it comes to marriage, let it be as fate dictates."

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "You have read a lot of books, but you are a little too serious. Emotions are not that complicated. Emotions can be cultivated slowly. How many relationships in the world are love at first sight, or mutual love? Isn't it that they have been together for a long time and slowly developed feelings for each other?"

"With your talent, there are countless women in the world who admire you, and there are countless women in the world who want to marry you."

"You will hurt these women's hearts by doing this."

Zhu Biao teased.

Xia Zhibai smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps I am not so lucky. I am a bit blunt by nature and do not like women very much. I do not want to worry about emotional matters. I'd better let others worry about these emotional matters. I really don't have this idea for the time being."

Zhu Biao looked at Xia Zhibai for a few times and said, "Well, since you don't mean to, forget it."

"But if you really have a girl you like, just tell me and I will make the decision for you."

Xia Zhibai said: "Thank you very much, Your Highness."

Xia Zhibai reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was really a little overwhelmed. He really didn't have any idea about emotional matters. Women? They would only affect the speed of serving the country and the people. He had no intention of being distracted by these things now.

Zhu Biao laughed and found it very interesting.

Xia Zhibai, who is fearless, is uncomfortable with love affairs. If this gets out, many people will not believe it. However, thinking that Xia Zhibai's parents are dead and he has been living alone, he feels a little sad. But he also thinks that when there is a chance, he will find a woman for Xia Zhibai.

Important officials of a country must still have ties!
Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't mention it again, Xia Zhibai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Zhu Biao would compete with him.

After saying a few simple words, Xia Zhibai took the initiative to leave.

Watching Xia Zhibai walk away, Zhu Biao burst into laughter and said, "I didn't expect Xia Zhibai to be so unhappy about love. Why didn't I see that before? I can observe Xia Zhibai more in the future."

"Haha."

Zhu Biao laughed a few times, then turned and walked towards the Wuying Palace.

He would tell His Majesty some of these things and let His Majesty make a decision.

This was also the result of a compromise between father and son last month.
