Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1958 "Gaoluo" Incident

The emperor's idea is obviously not feasible. Under the Ming court system, it is impossible to fake the birth of the prince. Zhu Yuanzhang has very strict regulations in this regard, which was added once during the Jiajing period, and there is no loophole to exploit.

If you think about it, you know that the time when the emperor was lucky, the queen, the concubine, or even the court lady is clearly recorded. It even needs to be compared with the menstrual events of the lucky person to determine the time of pregnancy. The same goes for the system.

Zhu Yijun whimsically wanted to use his nephew to pretend to be his son. This was obviously a temporary medical emergency. After all, it is reasonable to say that he himself is very aware of these systems.

Gao Pragmatically thinks, unless there is a prince who was born almost at the same time as this child, and the emperor is willing to play Li Daitao, otherwise it is impossible to achieve.But obviously, these two conditions are not met. Firstly, there is no such prince, and secondly, it is impossible for the emperor to do this.

Oh, of course, if there is really a birth together, you can find a way to say that it is twins or twins before the birth, but since there is no such situation, naturally it cannot be operated.

So the two could only continue to think of a way. After a while, Gao Wushi suggested, or say that Princess Yongning is a lonely widow and adopted an abandoned baby?
As a result, Zhu Yijun still refused to agree.This time it was not a matter of inoperability, but that the emperor didn't like the word "abandoned baby" and felt that it was very unfair to give his nephew such a hat, which made him very uncomfortable.

Gao Wushi had no choice but to think again, and after a while, he suggested that Princess Yongning's third sister and Princess Shouyang were old with him, so if he could ask Princess Shouyang for help, he would say that the child belonged to her, and then adopted him. To the fourth sister.

Zhu Yijun was quite moved at first, thinking that this idea was not bad, after all, this would get rid of the unlucky word "abandoned baby".In addition, Princess Shouyang and Princess Yongning were originally siblings, and it was very common for a biological elder sister to adopt a child to her younger sister. The outer court would not raise any objections to this, it was perfect.

But the two discussed it for a while, and found that although the idea was good, the actual operation might not be successful—Princess Shouyang is not an ordinary woman, although her childbearing problems are not supervised by the extremely strict system like concubines at any time , but roughly when she became pregnant, and when she gave birth specifically, there are still records.

The reason why the eldest princess of Yongning was able to conceive and give birth quietly was because Zhu Yijun personally opened the door in the early years, so that her princess mansion is different from other princess mansions, and enjoys great autonomy... so that it is convenient for Gao Yu to meet her .

In short, although the people around Princess Yongning are maids and eunuchs in name, they have been completely bribed and fed by Gao Wushi from top to bottom.Let's put it this way, as long as Her Highness the Princess isn't conspiring to rebel in the Princess Mansion, surely these people won't even fart.

However, Princess Shouyang didn't know that such a thing would happen before, so she accompanied the emperor and the queen mother to Tianshou Mountain to sacrifice and sweep the tomb of the first emperor. Has she been pregnant for several months, even if she is only blind can not tell.

In this way, even if Hou Gongchen and Princess Shouyang had an old relationship with Gao Wushi, they would definitely be willing to help, but since they couldn't get away with it, they had to give up this idea.

Gao Pragmatic can't help feeling a bit overwhelmed.At this time, Zhu Yijun proposed again, how about this, this child still says you are a high-minded and pragmatic child, but you have to change the mother, say that it is your wife Huang Zhiting, and then use an excuse to adopt to Princess Yongning—— — Excuses are very easy to find, Zhu Yijun said that it was impossible, so he made an order himself, and you just need to follow the order.

According to Zhu Yijun's view, Gao Yushi's status and meritorious service are high enough, and this child is still considered as Gao Yushi's son and adopted to the eldest princess, then it makes sense no matter what.

Considering that the courtiers all know the relationship between Gao Yushi and the emperor, on the one hand, the emperor loves his own sister, and on the other hand, the emperor takes care of Gao Yushi's status as the second son. Letting him receive the royal ticket can also be regarded as a A means to win over the high pragmatism, so that the matter will not be attacked too much.

The emperor's proposal is very feasible, because Huang Zhiting is not in the capital for a long time, but sits in southern Xinjiang, and usually returns to Beijing around the end of the year to celebrate the New Year with Gao Yushi, and stays in the capital for only about two to three months.

So this brought another problem, that is, when she gave birth, she was usually not in the capital, but in the so-called "Siam Palace" in Dingnan-of course, it was actually Gao Yushi and her mansion.

In this way, unless Gao Yushi announced it himself, the courtiers would not know any news about Huang Zhiting's birth, so how would they know whether she gave birth or not, one or two?Naturally, they will believe what the highly pragmatic say.

It just so happened that Huang Zhiting really had a baby in the near future, so as long as the news in Dingnan was "right", this matter could be covered up easily, and the child of the eldest princess of Yongning was forcibly placed under Huang Zhiting's name.

The two thought about it for a while, and felt that there should be no better plan than this, especially Zhu Yijun insisted that Huang Zhiting had to come to recognize this son—because she was the wife, they finally decided on it, and that's how it should be done.

Gao Yushi didn't know what Huang Zhiting thought after receiving the news, but at least she didn't complain about it in her reply letter, but only detailed her various arrangements for this matter in southern Xinjiang.To be honest, these arrangements are at least ten times more detailed than those proposed by the high-level pragmatic general talk, and all aspects have been considered. In the end, the people who can know the truth can be counted on one hand.

The only problem is that Princess Yongning's children need to be sent to Dingnan as soon as possible, otherwise when the high-level advisory group, generals and Siamese royal family in Dingnan come to congratulate her, she can't clearly announce that she has twins but can only Take a child and go out to meet people?That would obviously cause a lot of inconvenience.

Although such a young child travels by boat, Princess Yongning is very reluctant, and even Gao Yushi is a little worried about whether the current sea boat is suitable for infant children.But there is no other way, this matter must be carried out, so the most capable medical staff can only be mobilized, and a second-level battleship is arranged as the ship to send the child to Dingnan.

In the end, this child was Huang Zhiting's second son in name, and logically he was the fourth son in the family, and Gao Ji was a twin brother.However, after the news was sent back to the capital, the emperor really decreed to finalize the matter of adoption, so the fourth son was still Gao Ji, and he was taken back to Yongning Princess Palace.

It stands to reason that this matter should end here, but it didn't, and then there was a little trouble.

The problem is the last name.It is not a problem for the child to be "adopted" to Princess Yongning, but since ancient times, the child's father's surname, Daming, a dynasty that pays attention to etiquette, naturally cannot mess around, and it is impossible for him to change his surname to Zhu.

But the problem lies in this "from the father's surname", from which father's surname?As soon as Princess Yongning picked up the child, she immediately announced the child's name: Gao Luo.

Unexpectedly, many officials soon complained, thinking that this matter was not in line with the etiquette, and that the child's surname should not be Gao, but Liang—that is, the Liang of the tuberculosis ghost Liang Bangrui.

They believe that the reason here is that although Liang Bangrui's family committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and was able to marry the princess, they were severely punished later, but the Tian family did not rule that the marriage was invalid, and the eldest princess Yongning has been a princess for so many years. Living alone in the name of a widow, so in theory her husband-in-law is still Liang Bangrui.

That being the case, now that she has adopted her adopted son, this adopted son should naturally continue to take the surname of Liang, instead of skipping Liang Bangrui and continuing to take the surname of his biological father.

It is also an adoption. Gao Yan adopted Tokugawa Ieyasu. Gao Wushi didn't care that he switched to Tokugawa Miao characters, because first of all, there was no such thing as Miao characters in Ming Dynasty, and making Miao characters "equivalent to surnames" was a matter during the Meiji Restoration in Japan in history.According to the current Japan, there are only five surnames: Yuan, Ping, Fujiwara, Tachibana, and Toyotomi.

Theoretically, the Tokugawa family claimed to be "Minen courtier XX", that is, Genji's origin, but coincidentally, neither he nor Tokugawa Ieyasu discussed this matter, and Ieyasu only mentioned "Tokugawa Miao character".In other words, Gao Yan didn't need to change his surname, in fact, he just kept his surname incognito, and added a Miao character.

As for what to do if he really succeeded General Zhengyi in the future without the prefix "Yuan courtier", that's another matter.Highly pragmatic estimates, by that time Japan will already be in control, how to dress up this thing, or simply change the system, it is all possible.

However, changing Gao Luo's surname to Liang will not work. He was actually responsible for punishing Liang Bangrui's family in the first place. Now if he still wants his son to take the surname of Liang Bangrui, he will not be able to pass this level of pragmatism.

However, it is inconvenient for the princess to justify herself, so Gao Yushi has to do it herself.As a result, the imperial court almost made a second version of the Great Ritual Discussion for a period of time. The Gao Party faction fought against the Confucian scholars, convicting Liang Bangrui's family of committing the crime of deceiving the emperor, and had already lost the right to title.

As for the emperor not ordering to annul the marriage, it was only out of consideration for the Tian family to set an example for the world, it does not mean that the brother-in-law is actually recognized.

This matter was debated for a period of time. It was not until the Korean battlefield changed, and the two sides reached a deadlock after the battle of Li Rusong's Bichou Pavilion, that the court turned its attention to serious government affairs. What should the adopted son of the eldest princess of Yongning be named after? The heat of discussion was suppressed.

At this time, the emperor went off in person again, saying that everyone should stop arguing, and the child's surname will be Gao from now on.But considering your arguments, the child's Gao surname is not directly inherited from Gao Yushi, but is bestowed by the emperor!
So far, this matter has really come to an end.What, your majesty, why do you insist on giving this child the surname "Gao"?

I can give whatever surname I want, it's none of your business!Does it mean that whoever I want to appoint an official, you also have to reach out to take care of it?Come, come, whoever has this idea, you stand up for me, and today I will let you know what a monarch, a minister, and a minister are!

After the victory of the war against Yuan, Zhu Yijun's prestige was already high enough, and this matter could still be suppressed.Once he put on the posture of "I want to", and used a little more aggressive words in the imperial edict, no one jumped out to continue making trouble.

In fact, it’s no wonder that because of the institutional relationship in Ming Dynasty, all the relatives were from ordinary families, and Liang Bangrui’s family was just a small wealthy businessman in the capital with a little money at the time. After the incident, he was quickly defeated by Gao Yushi. How tall is he, who would really go against Gao Yushi or even the emperor to vent his anger on his family?
To put it bluntly, they hyped this matter before mainly for the sake of fame.After all, it is not an ordinary opportunity to find an opportunity to contradict Gao Wushi, an old man who holds huge real power.

Of course, you can go against Gao Yushi in ordinary times, but Gao Yushi usually has no other grounds to grasp, and it is unwise to contradict him in government affairs and easily put yourself in it.

But regarding the surname of the adopted son of Princess Yongning, these people think it might as well speculate.The reason is also very simple. What is the surname of the adopted child is not a serious matter in Daming. No one would think that the child should have his own surname after being adopted-otherwise you will be adopted?

Even if it is the adoption of the same surname and the same family, although it is still the same surname after the adoption, it is theoretically inherited from the adoptive father's surname, and the family tree is also counted according to the adoptive father's side.

Therefore, in the eyes of these people, high pragmatism will not get really angry about this matter, so there is no great danger in hype, and it is a good investment with high returns and low risks, so why not do it?

It's nothing more than refuting the face of His Royal Highness the Princess!But so what, no matter how much the eldest princess is favored by the emperor, the princess of Daming can't interfere in politics at all, as long as she doesn't offend her in terms of etiquette, then offending her is useless.

As for Gao Wushi who came out to fight in person later, they really did not expect this situation, but it is not easy to simply admit that the matter has come to this point, there is always a fight and an argument.Of course, since then, many people have actually retreated, so after the news of the battle at the Bitu Pavilion came back, they quickly died down.

Many people also reflected on why Gao Yushi was so sensitive on this matter.Although no matter how you look at it, they can't find a very reasonable explanation, but because the objective facts already exist, they can only forcefully explain that Gao Yushi's anger at Liang Bangrui's incident is still lingering, and he insists on preventing the Liang family from turning over at any relevant level to be satisfied.

This guess is not wrong, but it's not the real inside story, but...it doesn't matter anymore.In short, Princess Yongning was able to let her son's surname Gao be "justified", but there was only one thing that seemed to be regrettable: he could not enter the Gao family's genealogy, and could no longer be counted as a member of the Gao family in name.

This led to another incident, that is, Princess Yongning suddenly felt that she did not have enough fiefdoms, and was worried that her son would not be able to hold up her head among the "Gao brothers" in the future. Her Royal Highness also generally knows about it.

PS: I was already extremely busy, but there was another local case in the city where I was located, and the nucleic acid was about to start again. The queue at three o'clock in the afternoon almost didn't give me heatstroke.Suddenly, I recalled the one-month closed military training before the start of the freshman year. Every afternoon, freshmen stood in a military posture, and they would faint a dozen times and be carried directly to the infirmary.
