Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1957 The Return of the Dynasty to the Japanese Fu (Wei Eight) Heirs

The trip to Tianjin could not be delayed for too long. While Gao Yushi and the others were meeting, Liu Ting and other ministries who came with him camped in the pre-determined outskirts.

After camping this time, General Gao Wushi led only a thousand soldiers into Beijing.The reason for this is that returning to Beijing this time is not a triumphant squadron, and the capital has not prepared projects such as suburban welcomes, so it can only be applied to the system of generals entering Beijing, that is, each general leads no more than [-] troops.

This time, there are only two generals at the general level who will return to Beijing with Gao Yushi and plan to return to the town, namely Dong Yiyuan and Liu Ting, so the standard quota is 1000.As for Gao Yushi, it is reasonable to say that he is a civil servant, but in fact there is no limit to the number of troops he can lead, but he is also the Marquis of Nanning, which is a bit sensitive.

In fact, in the canonization system of the emperor at that time, it was clearly stated that the high-practice feudal marquis belonged to the civil feudal marquis, and the credit was a series of reforms over the years.Because of the achievements brought about by these reforms, the great cause of conquering the Yuan Dynasty was realized. It can be seen that the merits of the high-practice feudal lords are essentially Xiao He's style-Xiao He is of course a civil servant, so Li Shanchang of this dynasty was used as the Duke of the state in the book analogy.

However, in any case, everyone knows that this purpose must be entangled in whether high pragmatism should be enshrined as a civil servant or a military official. In the final analysis, it is just that the emperor wants to praise high pragmatism.

Regardless of whether they are all knighted, there are grades of knighthood.The class mentioned here is not about the public being bigger than Hou and Hou being bigger than Bo, but the difference between titles of the same level.

Generally speaking, the lowest grade is the title of foreign relatives.This is easy to explain, just like Li Wei, the father of Empress Dowager Li, who was granted the title of Uncle Wuqing during the Longqing Dynasty.This kind of knighthood is the knighthood of relatives.

According to the system established by Zhu Yuanzhang, in principle, foreign relatives in the Ming Dynasty rarely received titles, and even if they did, they would not be granted titles, and they usually did not have the highest title, that is, the Duke of the State.

In addition, the use of titles of foreign relatives is relatively limited, and generally only money and food are given without real power.In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, since the Dudu’s Mansion of the Five Armies had become a decoration, there were very few foreign relatives who could go to the Dudu’s Mansion of the Five Armies after being knighted, but please pay attention—it’s really just a name, not even a class (not allowed ) to go up.

But the most ruthless thing was during the Jiajing period. The Emperor Sejong also ordered that the titles of foreign relatives should not be hereditary. Even if the emperor insisted on making a special case, it could only be hereditary for one or two generations, which is a bit similar to the Tweeting Order.This is also the reason why Wu Qing Hou Li Wei caused so much trouble after his death.

It seems that I forgot to mention the matter of Wu Qinghou's family before. Let me briefly explain: Li Wei's title was Wu Qinghou when he died, but Zhu Yijun was already in charge when he died.In order to show his filial piety to the queen mother, Zhu Yijun insisted on posthumously granting the title of Duke Anguo to Li Wei.

At that time, the incident caused a lot of admonitions from the ruling and opposition parties, but Zhu Yijun took the word "filial piety" to his death, and he insisted on it in the end.Of course, Gao Pragmatism can be regarded as a little help - it's not that Shangshu supported the emperor, but he only persuaded him once, and explained the big truth that everyone else has said, and then there was no more.

For the emperor at that time, not opposing, or not violently opposing, basically counted as support.

However, although Li Wei was awarded the title after his death, it was an honor after his death. In theory, his son who was the successor had to follow the old rules.The old rules just said, either you can't attack the noble, or if you want to attack the noble, you have to give grace, let Wu Qinghou return to Wu Qingbo.

However, Zhu Yijun refused. He packed the matter up and dealt with it together. Grandpa wanted to be made Duke of the state, and uncle would like to thank Wuqinghou for his kindness.Of course, this finally happened.

After the gossip is over, let's get down to business.Even if it was like Wu Qinghou's family, the holy family seemed extremely grand, but so what?Just like Li Tang's princesses are often worried about getting married, once a problem arises, there is always a root cause online.Just the emperor's forceful push, without the support of the civil society group, could not really improve the status of the uncle's family.

Therefore, in addition to being able to enjoy the salary of the Marquis, the eldest son Li Wenquan and the second son Li Wengui both added the "Zuo Dudu of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion", but they still did not hold any real power. I have been there, and it belongs to the order of whoring wages.

Above the title of foreign relatives is the title of military officials, or the title of civil servants based on martial arts.You can refer to Li Chengliang for the title of military minister. After fighting for half his life, he basically won more than he lost.

Of course, Li Chengliang later changed to Spyker and could be hereditary, but that was because his son Li Rusong made great contributions again.Li Rusong made a lot of contributions, but he is not too old. In order to avoid being unsealed later, he simply added it to his father.

Civil servants are nobler than Li Chengliang when they are knighted by martial arts. The best example is Wang Shouren, also known as Wang Yangming.Although Wang Yangming's new earlship actually hurt him a lot and made him lose the opportunity to join the cabinet to assist the government, it is good news for his descendants, because after years of quarrels inside and outside the court, he still Gave it to Spyker.When Emperor Longqing succeeded to the throne, he even gave Wang Yangming himself a posthumous gift of Xin Xinhou.

The civil servants were knighted by martial arts, and since there were only three of them including him, the status was quite special, especially the respect of other later civil officials.In the Ming society where civil servants are superior to others, since civil servants are very respectful, their status is of course not comparable to Li Chengliang's military title.

And it is more precious than civil servants being knighted by martial arts. After the founding of the country, there is one and only one who stands out.

Because of Zhu Yijun's statement in the writing, Gao Yushi's title of Marquis is actually "both civil and military": he not only laid the foundation for the victory of the Yuan Dynasty because of the reform, but also personally led the army to completely defeat the Mongolian Khan and the commander of the Great Yuan Emperor.In this case, the marquis's preciousness is naturally unparalleled. You can say whether he is literary or martial arts, in fact, it doesn't matter.

Of course, in any case, his position at the time was not a certain governor of the Dudufu of the Five Armies. His full official title should be "Shaofu, Prince Taishi, Bachelor of Wenhuadian, Minister of the Household Department and Pingwa Jinglue, Nanning Be high and pragmatic."In addition to the title of Marquis of Nanning, and the title of Shaofu and Prince Taishi, theoretically civil servants and military generals can serve as the titles, and his Wenhuadian University Bachelor, Hubu Shangshu and Pingwa Jinglue are all limited to civil servants. of.

So it stands to reason that he can bring as many people as he wants into the capital without anyone caring.It's just that Gao Yushi has always been a cautious person, especially in the official arena, since he has made many great achievements that no one can ignore, he has to keep a low profile on certain things.

To be honest, there are tens of thousands of sea and land family members accompanying him, and it is not financially impossible to take them back to the capital to reward them together!But doing so would be too high-profile, and it would easily arouse the emperor's suspicion.

He often reminded himself, don't take Zhu Yijun lightly just because he has a good relationship with him. No matter how good the relationship is, he is still the emperor. As long as he is an emperor with an online IQ, it is impossible for him to be careless about whether his courtiers may endanger his country.

Is Zhu Yijun's IQ online?For sure!So no matter how boring the superficial work is, you have to do it, and it must be done properly.

As a result, Dong Yiyuan and Liu Ting each brought 500 soldiers. Gao Yushi, as a dignified strategist, only brought 300 family members, just like ordinary ministers returning to Beijing to report on their duties—the governor-level ministers returning to Beijing to report on their duties , usually with two [-] followers.High and pragmatic take the low and not the high, only bring two hundred.

Anyway, there are 1000 people like Dong Yiyuan and Liu Ting, and Tianjin is also close to the capital, so security is not a problem at all.

On the way, Gao Wushi looked at the two sturdy general soldiers around him, and suddenly felt that life is really interesting.

In the early years, I was unofficial and light-bodied, and it was always a big show when I traveled. Anyway, everyone in the government and the public knew that I was rich, so what if they were willing to spend money to support their family?
But now that he has already become a minister of the cabinet, seeing that Liang Menglong will inevitably resign shortly after returning to Beijing, he should be the second assistant, but the guards around him have been reduced again and again.

What do you think?Maybe we should change the angle - at least it shows that the security situation near Gyeonggi is much worse than it was back then.

Thinking of this, Gao Yushi scratched his head.Time is not forgiving. Cao Gan, who accidentally robbed him back then, has resigned for the third time this winter after being the president of Jinghua Commercial Company for so many years. It is estimated that this matter cannot be delayed any longer.

Cao Gan also suffered some hidden wounds back then. Thanks to joining his team early, he did not live that kind of life again. Later, medical students from the medical department had regular check-ups and special care. easy.

But after Cao Gan's resignation, who should Jinghua merchants socialize with?

Or just leave it to Cao Ke and let him inherit his father's business?It doesn't seem appropriate. This will easily lead to the situation that the Jinghua Trading Company will form a dominance of the Cao family.Although it is emotional and reasonable, Cao Ke, who was born as a book boy and has long been a confidant of the secretariat's business secretary, really has no motive to betray himself, but he can't come up with mountainism because of this.

Why don't Cao Ke take over Gao Rui's shift and manage the Kaiping Industrial Zone.Gao Rui has been working in the Kaiping Industrial Zone for almost 30 years. Although the industrial zone is getting bigger and bigger, it is now called an "industrial zone", but it is actually no smaller than a prefectural city, and its status in the Jinghua Group has always been high...but the same For the same reason, it's time for Gao Rui to change his position.

Speaking of which, this is the aspect of industry and commerce. The commanders of the six major garrison forces in southern Xinjiang can't do it for so long. They all change their guards every few years; Take turns.In short, no one who is in charge of the army can do it for more than ten years, and basically changes positions after five years.

Whether it is Cao Ke or Gao Rui, it is actually easy for them to change positions. What is more important now is that Gao Mo is over 70 years old, and I don’t know how many times he has mentioned giving up his position, so this matter cannot be delayed.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Jinghua is very powerful, especially with a high degree of independence, and almost no other departments can control it.To some extent, besides herself, only the secretariat can supervise one or two, or simply say that Liu Xin can control some.

But a few years ago, Liu Xin was no longer the special detached identity she used to be.Her father, Liu Xian, saw her for the last time before he passed away. He was deeply depressed by the event in her life, and finally left with regret.

This incident greatly stimulated Liu Xin, and with Liu Ting's support, she formally married into Gao's family after the filial piety was over.Because of the influence of her deceased father, she doesn't worry about her identity now... Three years ago, she gave birth to a son for Gao Yushi, named Gao Chun, who was Gao Yushi's fifth son.

Speaking of which, Gao Yushi is full of children. Now he has three daughters and five sons, and Huang Zhiting is pregnant again, and may give birth in the next year. At that time, I don't know whether it will be four daughters and five sons or three daughters and six sons. The old couple were very satisfied.

Gao Cho even joked that the Gao family depended on him to have children in his generation, and now his son is like himself, which proves that he is very talented... Some people like to joke when they are old, and it seems that Gao Cho is like this.But it's no wonder that it's normal for Gao Wushi to have a eldest son who doesn't have to worry about him since he was a child. He has a cheerful personality.

Gao Yushi's three daughters and five sons are arranged according to birth as follows:
The eldest son, Gao Yuan, was born of Huang Zhiting; the eldest daughter, Gao Li, was born of Huang Zhiting; the second son, Gao Yan, was born of Narita Kai; the third son, Gao Mu, was born of Meng Gu Zhezhe; the second daughter, Gao Yi, was born of Narita Kai; The son, Gao Ji, was born by Huang Zhiting; the fifth son, Gao Chun, was born by Liu Xin; the third daughter, Gao Zhen, was born by Liu Xin.

In fact... Speaking of which, there is still a son, which is the son of Princess Yongning.But obviously, it is very difficult for this child to enter the Gao family tree.Even because the matter was too sensitive, even His Majesty the Emperor couldn't stay at home anymore. He once went out quietly and went to Gao Yushi's mansion in the middle of the night. The two discussed for most of the night and came up with several solutions.

At that time, Gao Wushi's first solution was to find a reason for himself, saying that the child was an orphan he met by chance, and because he couldn't bear it, he adopted it.

However, Zhu Yijun vetoed it straight away. As the child's biological uncle, he firmly disagreed that the child should only have the status of an adopted son. In his opinion, this was definitely a matter of principle.

In fact, before Gao Wu put forward this idea, he also guessed that Zhu Yijun would probably not agree. The reason was that His Majesty really cared about his first-milk compatriots.

King Lu's feudal land Wei Hui is not just extravagant and desperate, many places in his palace have exceeded the standard and used the emperor's ceremony, but after the matter got to Zhu Yijun, the elder brother of the emperor, there was nothing wrong with it.

According to Chen Ju privately, after hearing this, the emperor was not only not angry, but also smiled and said: "Yi Liu didn't learn any rules since he was a child, let him go, this matter will not affect others."

As a result, although he was magnanimous, the courtiers refused to do it, and they all went to the Shu and demanded severe punishment.Ninety percent of them were kept by Zhu Yijun, and he replied to the memorials of several important ministers. The general meaning is that King Lu did not receive the same education as I did when he was a child. I don’t eat lunch for a day for introspection, and then there is no more.

The courtiers saw that the emperor was "guilting themselves", and if they chased him hard, they would be suspected of intending to kill the emperor, so they had to stop their flags and drums.Of course, some people suspected that the emperor was planning to follow Zheng Zhuanggong's example. In doing so, he regarded King Lu as a common uncle, but after so many years passed, there was no follow-up.Then it can only be said that the emperor really cares about family affection.

Now that the highly pragmatic proposal was rejected, the emperor had to find his own way.However, his first proposal was too whimsical, and was rejected by Gao Yushi—the emperor said, why don't I find a way to say that the child was born to a certain concubine of mine?
