I want to be a grandson

Chapter 481 Arrangement
Hearing the news of the death of Qin Wang Zhu Xing, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was slightly sad, but he did not show excessive pain.

As a father, he has already experienced the death of several sons, so he can see it more or less. Although he is sad, it is not excessive.

After a while, he asked, "How did you die?"

Zhu Yunxi replied: "After suppressing the Xifan rebellion, when I returned to camp, the cold air entered my body, and I suffered from wind evil, which suddenly worsened, so I passed away..."

He didn't directly say the real reason, except for making Zhu Yuanzhang feel distressed in vain, it didn't help at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. He probably knew that this was not the cause of his son's death, but he was already dead, and the prince wanted to cover it up, so why should he bother.

"Just arrange the aftermath and send someone to deal with it."

"Yes, Grandpa Huang, grandson obeys!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, he got up and walked towards the vegetable field. It seemed that there were endless weeds and fields...

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's lonely figure, on that broad back, Zhu Yunxi suddenly found that he seemed a little old, and his originally straight waist was no longer straight...

"Your Highness..."

Back in the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Yunxi sat on a chair, facing the dissuasion of several confidant ministers not to go to Xi'an, Zhu Yunxi did not insist this time.

Qi Tai cryptically said that if the grandson of the emperor went there in person, it would be very embarrassing.

Zhu Yunxi understood what he meant. Although his second uncle had done so many bad things in Xi'an Mansion, although he had restrained himself a lot in the past two years, the previous bad things were a fact.

How should I deal with the common people complaining about their grievances when I go away as the crown prince?
If it is dealt with impartially, King Qin must be held accountable, but he is already dead, and as a junior, how can he still judge and punish the dead elder?Could it be possible to whip him to death?

But if you don't do this, others will feel that you are partial to your relatives, which is not good for your prestige!

And if you send other people there, you will be able to do it with ease!
They can make compensations to the common people, and they can arrest and dispose of the old people of Prince Qin's Mansion and bring them to justice. In short, it is much more convenient than going by themselves.

So Zhu Yunxi said: "In this case, the lonely king can only sacrifice at a distance, alas... If you don't have yourself, you won't go there in person after all, it seems sincere..."

Everyone was relieved, Zhu Yunxi put away the sadness on his face, and asked: "About posthumous title, do you have any discussion?"

Everyone looked at each other, but they were silent.

Because the posthumous title refers to the writing of praise or derogation given by later generations after the death of a person with a relatively high social status based on his life deeds. It began in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Evaluation of a person's merits and demerits is often not a clear description in just a few words. In order to facilitate the conclusion of historical figures, the ancients chose to use posthumous titles to summarize.

Generally speaking, the emperors, empresses, and princes and ministers in ancient history and other relatively high-status figures, after their death, the court would, according to their actions during their lifetime,
Thus giving an evaluative title, which is the usual posthumous title.Posthumous titles are used to highly summarize the life of a historical figure.

Judging from King Qin's actions, it should be a bad posthumous posthumous title, or at least a posthumous posthumous title, that is, a posthumous posthumous title of criticism.

For example, Zhu Tan, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, in pursuit of immortality, killed the common people, and died of excessive consumption of gold and stone medicine. King Lu Huang.

Zhu Yunxi frowned, and asked displeasedly: "The posthumous title of the King of Qin is a big matter, why haven't you discussed it for so long? Ren Hengtai, you are from the Ministry of Rites, you can tell me!"

Ren Hengtai felt bitter in his heart. The posthumous title is the final judgment on a person, and it is to leave a name in history. At that time, King Lu was given a bad posthumous title by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Now that the Ministry of Rites came to determine the prince's posthumous title, it kind of meant putting it on fire.

"Your Highness, I think you should choose from Yang, Li, Huang, You, Ling, etc..."

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was frowning, he had no choice but to continue: "Yang, it's Yang who is good at home and far away, arrogant and rude, and killing innocent people is called harsh, and Huang is "enjoyment and negligence in politics, and chaos at home and abroad."It is called "you" if it is obstructed and unreasonable, and it is called "spirit" if it is chaotic but not damaged. "

Zhu Yunxi said dissatisfiedly: "These are all bad posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles, so why can't we get a beautiful posthumous posthumous title?!"

Without waiting for everyone to refute, Zhu Yunxi immediately said: "King Qin has been stationed in Guanzhong for many years. He has been fighting for Ming Dynasty against Xifan and attacking Mongolia.

With the King of Qin, the Guanzhong area can be peaceful and peaceful, and you can rest easy in the capital. Isn't this the credit of the King of Qin!Are you just turning a blind eye? ! "

Qi Taidao: "Your Highness, the imperial court is aware of King Qin's achievements, but posthumous titles do not only refer to merit, everything you do, you must consider all aspects,
Only by setting a posthumous title in this way can the public be convinced, and only the people in Xi'an Prefecture and even the entire Guanzhong area can be convinced. "

Yang Jing also said: "Yes, Your Highness, if the posthumous title given by the court cannot correctly evaluate the person's life, it will be a blow to the majesty of the court. Even if it is a good reputation, it will be difficult to convince the public..."

Zhu Yunxi said: "People are not sages, so no one has faults. Even though the King of Qin made some mistakes before, he has repented in the past two years and has done a lot of good deeds to treat the people. These cannot be ignored, right?

Even if you can't get a beautiful posthumous title, a flat posthumous title is still possible. "

Ping posthumous posthumous titles are mostly sympathetic posthumous titles, such as: "愍" means "worry in the country" and "difficulty in the country"; "Huai" means "benevolent and short-lived".

But even if it was the posthumous posthumous title, several confidantes disagreed. After arguing, Zhu Yunxi was obviously a little dissatisfied, "Well, let's do what you said! The posthumous title is You!"

"Obstruction and impossibility is said to be secluded." It means: Arbitrary, unable to listen to other people's opinions, difficult to communicate.Among them, "Yu" means to block, and "口" means to prevent.

Although this posthumous title is not good, the meaning it represents is obviously better than other posthumous titles.

In history, the prince's posthumous title was "愍".

According to the "Posthumous Posthumous Law", it is said that when a country is in trouble, it is called min (everything about soldiers and bandits); when people are injured, it is called min (the tyrannical government and thieves); .

Zhu Yunxi didn't care whether the King of Qin could get a good posthumous title, but as a junior, he always had to "fight" for the elders from the perspective of family affection, so as to express his affection for each other.

Zhu Yunxi also ordered: "Yang Jing, Qi Tai, and Tie Xuan, the three of you will go to Xi'an to attend the funeral for King Qin; Ren Hengtai, your Ministry of Rites will immediately dispatch someone to write the sacrificial oration, don't delay!"

"Yes! The minister obeys the order!" Several people hurriedly saluted and accepted the order.

Qi Tai hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Your Highness, I don't know how to deal with the people in Prince Qin's residence?"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the crowd and said: "The King of Qin fought for the country, but unexpectedly died of illness. This is the fault of the officials of the King of Qin's mansion, and should be strictly investigated! After you arrive in Xi'an, start this matter immediately! No mercy!"

To deal with the officials of the royal family, one reason for the death of King Qin is to determine the disease, and they should be severely punished for their ineffective care.

Secondly, it is also to give an explanation to the people in Guanzhong!
Even though King Qin has done many evil things, aren't those officials in the royal family not responsible?

Didn't the people below rely on the power of King Qin to do evil?

If King Qin is the mastermind, then they are the accomplices!

Even if not everyone participated in the evil, someone must have taken the opportunity to harm the common people!

Zhu Yunxi didn't ask them to dispose of all the officials in the Prince Qin's Mansion, but after finding out, the meaning of this is already very clear, and the truly loyal people will not be implicated!
Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, said after deliberation: "Your Highness, there are other people in Qin Palace besides the officials. Please tell Your Highness how to arrange them."

Zhu Yunxi knew who he was talking about, so he said: "Let Zhu Shangbing, the eldest son of King Qin, inherit the throne of King Qin, and let him serve his mother well, love the people, be diligent in government affairs, use kindness in affairs, and never slack off!"

"Yes, I will obey!"

Hearing these words, several people felt relieved. As courtiers, the most difficult thing to deal with was the concubine and other family members.

The main concubine of Qin Wang Zhu Yu was the Yuan Dynasty Henan Wang Kuokuo Timur, the younger sister of the famous Wang Baobao in history. Her name was Guanyinnu.

On the seventh day of September in the fourth year of Hongwu, in order to recruit Wang Baobao, Zhu Yuanzhang betrothed Avalokitesvara to his second son, Qin Wang Zhu Xi.

At that time, Guanyinnu's grandfather, Aluwen, had just died, but Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the suggestion of Tao Kai, Minister of Rites, and insisted on marrying the king of Qin. Family".

Avalokitesvara and the King of Qin were at odds with each other and had no children. The King of Qin "heard that the partial concubine, Deng Yu, was the daughter of Wei Guogong Deng Yu, and kept the main concubine, Wang, in a different place."Things like food and drink, and new fruits and trees are not clean and quiet, but have the same secluded prison.”

The concubine Deng was blamed by Zhu Yuanzhang for jealousy and hanged herself to death.Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang "repeatedly ordered" the King of Qin to "treat the concubine Wang with courtesy", and the King of Qin "disobeyed his father's teaching, and still imprisoned the Wang family in the palace."

It is said that the prototype of Zhao Min described by Mr. Jin is Guanyin Nu.

Although she was a foreign woman, she was just like what Zhu Yuanzhang said "keep abiding by women's morals", but she was not loved by the King of Qin throughout her life, and it was a pity that she ended up being buried and died.

Zhu Yunxi asked King Qin's son to honor his mother, just because he didn't want her to die in misery.On the other hand, in history, several generations of the old Zhu family were popular for burial, which is a reversal of history.

It was also because the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty were criticized a little bit, so Zhu Yunxie gave the order.

Regarding the funeral, there are still some complicated procedures and ceremonies, but these are not Zhu Yunxie's worries.

After several confidantes retreated, Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, and said: "Come here, invite Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen!"

"Yes, the servant obeys!"

Geng Bingwen was working in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies today. When the eunuch in the palace let him enter the Wenhua Palace, he was a little puzzled.

Following the eunuchs to the Wenhua Hall, they bowed and said: "The last general, Geng Bingwen, pays homage to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, Wan An!"

"The Marquis of Changxing is Pingshen, and someone will grant you a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After Geng Bingwen sat down, Zhu Yunxi saw that he was wearing leather armor, so he asked, "Does the Marquis of Changxing usually stay with his armor?"

Geng Bingwen's face was a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, I will go to the barracks to train soldiers at the end of these few days, and I have to inspect several guards, so I changed into armor.

Wearing military clothes in front of the soldiers is a pleasure, and I can also urge the soldiers to avoid slack..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "The loyalty of the Marquis of Changxing to the country is very precious. Geng Rui has a father like Marquis Changxing. In the future, Geng Rui will surely be able to shine on his family and become a pillar of the imperial court."

Geng Bingwen said modestly and hurriedly: "Your Highness is absurd. If you can't become a martial artist, you won't have any merits. If His Highness didn't favor you and choose to train by your side, you still don't know where you are wandering.
Your Highness's kindness and promotion will never be unforgettable! "

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said: "The Marquis of Changxing is serious. It is because of Geng Rui's talent that he was recognized by the lonely king. Marquis of Changxing, in the 25th year of Hongwu, you led the army to put down the chaos of demons in Huizhou, Shaanxi. I don't know what you think of the situation in the northwest. learn?"

Geng Bingwen was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his state and replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the end is just a little opinion..."

"The strategy formulated by the imperial court to contact the Western Fans and resist the "Northern Captives" is considered very good in the end, but it is impossible to suppress the "Western Fans" only by military forces, and the decisive factor for the success of this strategy The factor is the tea...

Previously, the imperial court exchanged tea for their war horses to supplement the shortage of horses. The "Xifan" ethnic groups are located in the northwest region, where the climate is dry, and foods such as fruits and vegetables are not suitable for survival there.

Therefore, their main food is the meat and milk of various animals. Once this kind of food is eaten for a long time, it will easily lead to food accumulation and difficult to digest, and it will cause physical diseases over time. Therefore, they need to eat tea, so the demand for tea Also very big...”

"In addition, for the nomadic tribes living in remote areas and lacking material, tea can not only be eaten as a kind of food, but also used as medicine, so tea has become a holy medicine in some of their populations, so their Life is inseparable from tea...the imperial court also traded tea horses with them..."

Geng Bingwen deserves to be a veteran.

Speaking clearly and logically, although it is not possible to introduce new ideas, many of the things that can be said are in ideas, and they are also practical.

In fact, during the Ming Dynasty, tea had gradually flowed into the nomadic tribes and became an irreplaceable thing in their lives, and there were rumors that "the barbarians cannot live without tea for a day".

Zhu Yuanzhang once said: "It is not for profit, it is necessary to control the barbarians." Since then, the purpose of the tea-horse trade has changed from changing horses to controlling fans.

Even if the nomadic tribes are well aware of the disadvantages of this policy, but due to their own dependence on tea, they can only accept it.
