Daming heir

Chapter 453 The Generous Grandson of the Emperor
King?

"Daming today restores the military meritorious title of Qin and Fa. When you get the military merit, Daming has the confidence to be the king of you." '

For no reason, the meritorious generals present recalled what His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun said in public in the stands of the Xicheng Rugby Stadium that day.

Cao Guogong Li Jinglong has been in charge of the Wa Kingdom for many years, and this year he has made great achievements in destroying the country.Afterwards, before the imperial court completely established the government offices of various provinces in Yingzhou, he was responsible for suppressing possible turmoil in Yingzhou.

This kind of credit, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no one in the whole dynasty has made it alone.

wrong!

Chang Sheng, the founding father who is still far west of Jiaozhi Road and Champa Road, can also be counted as the top one.

Even if you want to be crowned king, Chang Sheng, the founder of the country, should be crowned far more than Cao Guogong Li Jinglong.

After all, due to emotion and reason, Chang Sheng also had the merits of destroying the country, and even conquered the two countries, and now he is continuing to lay down large pieces of new territory for Ming Dynasty.

Most of the civil servants have mixed feelings in their hearts at this moment.

The Ming Dynasty returned to the Qin and French military ranks, and since the restoration of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the imperial court has also established a method for the examination of merit in the army.

It's just that it's easy for military generals to achieve success, but for civil officials like them, the road is narrow.We can't let the civil servants in the imperial court also carry swords and guns to fight the enemy.

Zhu Yunxi's sentence discusses the rewards of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

The presence of civil and military minds are different.

Jingchuanhou Cao Zhen was the first to speak: "If it is about the rewards of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, should the General Southern Expedition also have a discussion?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhen looked at the people around him with a pure expression.

Li Jinglong, the Duke of Wei, had the merit of destroying the country, and Chang Sheng, the founder of the country, also had the merit of destroying the country.

If Wei Guogong can be crowned king, then Founding Duke can be crowned king even more.

Will the Ming Dynasty seal two kings in one day?
After Cao Zhen interrupted like this, everyone finally reacted.

Although there was still silence in Wenyuan Pavilion, no matter civil or military, everyone's breathing became heavier.

This is not the early years of Hongwu, when the emperor sealed off the clan for the sake of stability in the world.In the past 20 years of the Ming Dynasty several times, it is rare for a non-Zhu surname to be crowned king.There are two King Wuning of Zhongshan and King Zhongwu of Kaiping, who were also granted posthumous titles by the imperial court after the two of them passed away.

Will the Ming Dynasty have two living kings with different surnames?

When did the imperial court become so generous.

Xu Yungong suppressed the idea of ​​asking for a foreign transfer leader, clasped his hands and walked out sideways: "His Royal Highness, if the merits of the Eastern Expedition Army are discussed, then the Southern Expedition Army should also be discussed together today, so as to show the court's fairness. , not to chill the hearts of the frontline soldiers.”

After finishing speaking, Xu Yungong felt a little regretful and regretful.

Back in the day, the Zhongshan Prince’s Mansion was on top of the Kaiping Palace.Now, because of Chang Sheng's leadership of the Southern Expedition, he will have the opportunity to become a king, but the Zhongshan Palace can only tell about the glory of the past.

As for his current status as a cabinet minister?
The Zhongshan Prince's Mansion is the founding meritorious family of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the way of the general.No matter how much power a cabinet minister has, it doesn't have to be as important as a prince who is retired with the country.

Although such a king will not attack the descendants of the noble.

But to the Xu family, a living prince is obviously more important than a cabinet minister.

"The Great General Who Conquered South destroyed Annan and Zhancheng, and the army marched westward. After several years, he led the troops outside, and he made great contributions."

Gao Yangzhi's voice sounded in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Before returning to Beijing, he was the youngest official of the Ming Dynasty, and the first official in the Ming Dynasty to personally experience the addition of a new one.

Regarding the contribution of the Southern Expedition Army and the founding father Chang Sheng, only Gao Yangzhi has the most say in the court.

As a cabinet minister, Gao Yangzhi naturally attracted everyone's attention when he spoke.

The youngest frontier official of the dynasty, the youngest cabinet minister, can attract countless people's attention just by standing there.

And in the foreseeable time, this young young Gaoge elder will always stand in the power center of Daming.

No one dared to take his words lightly.

Gao Yangzhi continued to speak: "Jiaozhidao and other places are full of miasma and poisonous insects. It is inconvenient for people from the Central Plains to go south, and the water and soil are not acclimatized. In the 25th year of Hongwu, the imperial court decided to go south.

Depends on the First World War, my Ming added a new land, and my annual income increased a lot.The army of the Southern Expedition has been in the south for a long time, and then conquered Champa, and the Ming Dynasty added another one.

Today, the army has been in the west of Champa, and has been fighting for many years. Although the territory is thousands of miles away and the local situation is complicated, no new Taoist government has been established.However, the territory of our dynasty can be said to be expanding by hundreds of miles every day.

The army opened up the frontiers and expanded the land, the country's revenue increased, and all things from all over the world returned to heaven.

This is the merit of the army of the Southern Expedition, and the contribution of the General of the Southern Expedition.

As the second son of King Zhongwu of Kaiping, the great general could have enjoyed peace in the sky, but he practiced martial arts diligently, read military books every day, trained the three armies, and led the army to conquer.

King Zhongwu of Kaiping has not lost his will, and he is a model of national meritorious service.

In terms of achievements, I think that the founding father is often promoted, and his achievements are sufficient. "

At the end, Gao Yangzhi was already standing upright, clasping his fists together, facing Zhu Yunxi and slowly bowed, expressing his affirmation of Chang Sheng's military achievements.

And what is the merits of Chang Sheng, the founder of the country?

The eyes of all the people present turned. It seemed that Gao Chunfeng hadn't finished his words, but he had already said all of them.

The founding father Chang Sheng's merits are enough to be crowned king.

Everyone couldn't help looking at Gao Yangzhi's back, all kinds of speculations arose.

As we all know, Gao Yangzhi was the first chief envoy of Jiaozhi Dao. At the beginning of Jiaozhi Dao, the Southern Expedition Army must have had a lot of dealings with Jiaozhi Dao.

Calculated in this way, the personal relationship between the founding father Chang Sheng and Gao Yangzhi must also be deep.

So at this time, it seems reasonable for Gao Yangzhi, as a cabinet minister, to ask for credit for the founding father Chang Sheng.

As for Gao Yangzhi and Founding Duke Chang Sheng, they are both internal and external, or allies above the court.Even if it is true, it doesn't matter.

After all, even the emperor knew well that there were no real lonely ministers above the court.

Just when everyone thought that this was Gao Yangzhi's act of pleading for the friendship of another prince in the court in the future.

However, Gao Yangzhi changed his tone sharply: "The army of the Southern Expedition has made great contributions, and General Chang Sheng even made great contributions to destroying the country and increasing the land twice. According to the law of the first marching army in this dynasty, the merits of General Chang Sheng are enough to be sealed. King!"

"Isn't Mr. Gao Ge going to ask for credit for the founding father?"

Cao Zhen couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately opened his mouth to ask the aspirations of everyone present.

The surrounding officials and meritorious generals also cast surprised glances.

Gao Yangzhi said so much before, when everyone thought he was going to ask for meritorious service for the founding father Chang Sheng, this little Gaoge old man suddenly changed the subject and changed the subject.

Gao Yangzhi just glanced sideways at Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, and then continued to face Zhu Yunxie and said, "Your Highness, I think that the king of the country should not be easily granted. If everyone destroys the country, he can be crowned king. I am afraid that the country will resort to military aggression." Suspect!

Even more serious, the generals outside the country will be tempted by the king to do something big, not follow the court's order, and privately lead troops to conquer outside the territory.

At that time, all of Ming's militaristic state and society will be encumbered and dragged by the foreign army.If things go on like this, when will my Ming Dynasty be able to recuperate?

War, not war.War, in order to promote the prosperity and peace of the country.

If the king is king with the battle map, then this battle cannot be started.If the country is strong and prosperous based on the battle map, then every battle must not be lost. "

Yeah.

This is what I want to say!

Gao Chunfeng is his confidant!
Ren Hengtai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, who was not going to express his opinion on these matters, suddenly raised his head, staring at Gao Yangzhi, who was talking about war or no war, with admiration in his eyes.

Gao Chunfeng said everything he wanted to say!

At this moment, Ren Hengtai wished he could hold Gao Yangzhi, and headed towards the south city, looking for a wine shop, having a good time drinking and drinking, and never going home until he was drunk.

Ren Hengtai never felt that the youngest minister in the cabinet in front of him had such close thoughts and political views as himself.

Involuntarily, Ren Hengtai glanced at Xie Jin who was sitting safely opposite him, a trace of sullenness flashed across his face.

Chunfeng shouldn't have such a gentleman!
Such a good student should have a better teacher...

On the other hand, Xu Yungong frowned, he was a little surprised, Gao Chunfeng shouldn't have objected at this time, at least he shouldn't have expressed his objection with His Highness in front of so many people.

But soon, the corner of Xu Yungong's mouth moved slightly, and his brows calmed down quietly.

On the other hand, Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, was very puzzled, and shouted anxiously again: "Good job, Gao Chunfeng! Thanks to the fact that you were still an official in Jiaozhi Road, have you forgotten how difficult it is there? If not The general is spreading troops and horses in Jiaozhi Road, and he might be killed by those rioters!

Now that he has returned to Beijing and entered the cabinet, he is so hypocritical!It keeps saying that the great general deserves credit for his hard work, and that the great general's credit goes to the country, but if he turns it too far, he will lose all the credit for the great general?
Why do all the foreign troops follow suit?Do you, Gao Chunfeng, think that my Daming army is all those unfaithful and unrighteous people?Or do you, Gao Chunfeng, think that my million soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are all people who disrespect the emperor's order?
What on earth are you going to do, Gao Chunfeng! "

Enraged, Cao Zhen scolded Gao Yangzhi as the greatest treacherous minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Even Huixian Bo Sangjing, who was beside him, couldn't help pulling him away.

"pass!"

Sang Jing was a little apprehensive, the so-called merit discussion turned out to be such a big deal now.

If it goes on, I'm afraid it will involve civil and military matters.

Xie Jin coughed lightly, looked at the people present, and said softly with a smile on his face: "If you talk about military merit, no matter whether it is a southern expedition or an eastern expedition, they all have the merit of destroying the country, and they can be promoted to the king according to the military merit law. It's just the country It is true that kings should not be conferred lightly. If Chang Sheng cannot be promoted to the title of king, then Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo who went to the east, cannot be promoted alone. The fairness of the court must not be compromised."

After finishing speaking, Xie Jin searched the crowd with his eyes.

Xia Yuanji's brows twitched, he didn't know how to solve it, so he aimed at him.

He frowned slightly and thought about it carefully.

Finally, he looked at Xie Jin again.

Xia Yuanji nodded silently at Jianjin, and then walked to the front behind a group of officials with a silent sigh.

"His Royal Highness, Xia Yuanji, the left servant of the Minister's Department, has a performance."

Cao Zhen saw that whether it was the Southern Expedition or the Eastern Expedition, it might not be possible to become a king. Although he was not the object of the agreement, he felt aggrieved in his heart.

He spoke again: "Your Highness..."

Zhu Yunxi immediately raised his head, stared slightly, and stopped Cao Zhen's words.Then he turned the wrench in his hand, shook his head, and looked at Xie Jin beside him.

He chuckled softly: "Does Xia Shilang have something to say about the agreed military merits?"

Xia Yuanji nodded, his face a little dignified.

Mr. Xie Dashen didn't want to be a bad guy, but wanted to be a traitor among the civil servants himself.

Xia Yuanji knew it from the moment Xie Dashen looked at him.

The master and apprentice Xie Dashen and Gao Chunfeng just didn't want to be villains themselves, and because of their meritorious deeds being crowned kings, the two of them lost points on the civil servant's side.

If not, he wouldn't say anything about Xie Dashen, Chang Sheng's military achievements can be promoted to the title of king.

What is Jinfeng?

That is, Chang Sheng was originally the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, and now he has enough military merits, but he was promoted from Duke to Prince.

Xia Yuanji's face was a bit dignified, and he said in a deep voice: "I think that the concerns of the imperial court are nothing more than worrying that the generals outside will covet military achievements and become kings in the future, and will do their own thing and start conquests and killings without authorization. As long as the imperial court makes up for this point, Millions of troops are all following the imperial court's will, and this concern can be resolved."

There is a traitor in our ranks!
As soon as Xia Yuanji's words came out of his mouth, there were countless eyes that could swallow him up.

Zhu Yunxi laughed, "How do you crack it?"

Xia Yuanji Rumang was on his back, but he had said all the words, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "The court only needs to make a decision, and only the four campaigns can be crowned king for meritorious service. At that time, the concerns of bachelors and senior scholars , it will naturally disappear.”

Throughout the dynasties of the Central Plains, there has been a practice of setting up generals for four expeditions and four expeditions. Generally, a large army goes out and the leading general is awarded the post.

Xia Yuanji's proposal directly limited the conditions for obtaining the chance to be crowned king to the extreme, but it was also reasonable.

It is naturally impossible for ordinary soldiers to reach the sky in one step and become king in one battle.

It is an ordinary general in the army, even if he has meritorious service, there is still a long way to go.

Only when you reach the conquering general who can lead an army alone, will you have the opportunity to create invincible military exploits and win the chance to be crowned king.

Zhu Yunxi finally showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He looked sideways at the chief assistant who hadn't spoken for a long time: "Mr. Ren Ge thinks, is Xia Shilang's words appropriate? Although Gu absolutely trusts our soldiers, there will be no such thing as going alone Happened, but to impose such a restriction is also to comply with the future rules."

Ren Hengtai felt helpless.

Things have come to this point, and it is impossible for him to be a villain, so he will really forcefully prevent Duke Kai and Duke Cao from becoming kings.

Ren Hengtai slowly bowed and cupped his fists: "What Xia Shilang said is very good and very appropriate."

Zhu Yunxi clapped his hands together: "Since this is the case, then we can continue to discuss the matter of King Kai and Cao Guogong's titles."
