Chapter 484 Meritorious useless person, second brother long time no see

Seeing that the emperor's grandson had made up his mind and no one dared to speak up, everyone in Zhongdu surrounded Zhu Yunxi and entered the city.

Fengyang Mansion and Left Behind Division had already deployed soldiers and horses in the city, and someone hastily cleared the streets leading to Xin Guogong Mansion.

Along the way, the common people could only watch the emperor's grandson and his party from afar.

This was the attention of the Zhongdu government office and the meritorious family of Huaiyou, as well as a gesture of loyalty to the royal family. Zhu Yunxi did not refuse the other party's offer of favor.

Just looking at those Huaiyou meritorious families surrounded by him, I can't help but have different feelings in my heart.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the old man bestowed rewards on meritorious ministers.Except for those who died in battle and had no children, they were purely for a name. The court rewarded more than 60 Dukes before and after.

But only in the Huaiyou lineage, there were six princes and 27 princes who aimed to build the mansion of Gongbohou in Fengyang City under the imperial court.Nearly half of the dukes and earls who received awards at the beginning of the country came from the Huaiyou lineage.

However, over the past few years, all the Liugong families in Fengyang City, the Hangong Li Shanchang's family, have been implicated.

The remaining five princes' families have been relatively stable in the past two years, but Zheng Guogong's mansion has now been renamed the Founding Duke's mansion, Wei Guogong's mansion and Cao Guogong's mansion have reached the second generation, Song Guogong's mansion and Wei Guogong's mansion have been leading troops outside for a long time.

As for the remaining 27 marquis mansions, except for a few who died early, nearly half of them were conspired to death by the imperial court in the 23rd year of Hongwu, or even implicated.

"Your Majesty can remember me as a veteran family, and His Highness even came to Zhongdu in person. The court has shown great grace, which is a great honor for our veteran family. We all came from Huaiyou with Your Majesty. Over the years, the head of the family has grown old or died. But the younger generation still learned martial arts.

If the imperial court wishes, the sons and daughters of the younger generation will lead the troops for His Majesty and the imperial court just like their fathers did. When they go to battle and kill the enemy, they will be returned shrouded in horse leather, and we will have no complaints. "

Mrs. Hu of Xinguo held Zhu Yunxi's wrist, with a sad face, but she spoke in a firm tone.

Man Fengyang City, Mrs. Hu of Xinguo is the most qualified to say this sentence.

In these years, the Tang family alone has sacrificed the lives of several family members for the court.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Tang Ding, the son of Lord Xinguo, died of illness on the way back to Beijing.

In the 18th year of Hongwu, Tang Nai, the third son of Lord Xin Guo, joined the army and died in battle.

If everything goes according to the original history, then in the 29th year of Hongwu, the five and six sons of Xin Guogong will all die in the battle against Wukaiman.

Following Mrs. Xinguo's opening, the surrounding Zhongdu Huaiyou meritorious families all spoke in agreement.

But in any state-owned war, Huaiyou must devote all his meritorious deeds and send the children of the clan into the army to serve the country.

Gao Yangzhi followed behind, silently watching the scene at this moment.

In the past few years, the imperial court has launched various innovative policies, and this year has determined the direction of the new policy.The reason for this is that the Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly 30 years, and many government orders at the beginning of the country have begun to be unsuitable for the present.In addition, there are also reasons for these Huai You's meritorious deeds.

No matter how the imperial court moves, as long as the loyalty and support of these Huaiyou heroes are guaranteed, the imperial court will not have major turmoil that will harm the foundation.

This made Gao Yangzhi have to think of the fertile fields stretching across the Jiaozhi Road, and the heads of the families were all the meritorious families in front of Huaiyou.

The imperial court is very strict with Huaiyou's meritorious deeds. How many people have been given crimes and died in recent years.However, His Majesty also took special care of the Huaiyou lineage. When rewarding and employing people every year, the veterans of the Huaiyou lineage were the first thing that came to mind.

Thinking of these, Gao Yangzhi thought of the martial arts hall again.

Over the past few years, it seems that Huaiyou's meritorious family has sent the sons and daughters of the clan to study in the martial arts hall.

This is the confidence of the imperial court, and it is also the reason why these Huaiyou meritorious officials firmly support the imperial family.

Sleeping with the country can be explained clearly in a few words.

Zhu Yunxie said softly: "My family originated in Huaiyou, Your Majesty was assisted by veterans of Huaiyou in the past, when Huaiyou fought south and north, many sons went to die on the battlefield.

At the beginning of the country, the world is settled.His Majesty's meritorious deeds in the past years have given him the title of Lord of Court Merit. There are six princes and 27 marquises in Fengyang City.

Now that the new policy of the imperial court has just begun, and the army is fighting in all directions, it is the time for employing people.I, a son of Huaiyou, should not forget the aspirations of my father's generation, learn martial arts, and be proficient in military affairs.Put on the father's armor, raise the father's sword, wear the armor and ride the horse, defend the peace of the country, guard the glory of the father's generation, and die with the country! "

Why are all the meritorious deeds of Huaiyou still staying in Fengyang City today, all of them went out of the city to welcome them?

Why did Mrs. Xinguo say those words first?

Zhu Yunxi knew it well.

They want an attitude, their own attitude, the old man's attitude.

In the past few years of Huaiyou, how many people were involved in the cases of Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, and now these remaining meritorious deeds of Huaiyou are really all innocent?

Over the years, the feudal lands of court meritorious service have been strictly restricted, and the fields and acres under his name have also been returned to the common people one by one for exchange and intercourse.

After all, the royal family was more tolerant towards Huai You.

It's just that people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries.

Under the New Deal, the Huaiyou families will still feel somewhat worried.

Zhu Yunxi glanced over the meritorious service of Huai You who was present, he knew that he was ordered to leave Beijing and come to Fengyang, which in the eyes of these people represented the old man's will.

In fact, he did represent the old man.

Mrs. Xinguo showed a slight smile on her sad face, and glanced at the fourth eldest Tang Xie on the other side.

Tang Xie immediately cupped his hands and stepped forward: "The ministers should never forget the emperor's kindness, be diligent in martial arts, carefully teach the children in the family, and always remember to serve the country and be loyal to the emperor."

People from Wei Guogong, Kai Guogong, Cao Guogong, Wei Guogong, and Song Guogong who were present all echoed again and expressed their loyalty.

Looking at the end of the street ahead, it is already the mansion of Duke Xin Guo.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly said: "There are many martial arts students in the martial arts hall in the middle of the capital, and they are from my Huaiyou land. This time, I have ordered that I will continue to go north. If there are children of the right age in each family, they can wear armor belts." Knife, go north with you."

Huaiyou is a knife, a knife that must be firmly held in the hands of the Ming royal family.

Now that the Huaiyou faction has understood how to really live together with the country, Zhu Yunxi doesn't mind giving them more opportunities to make this cooperation closer.

Xin Guo's Mrs. Hu's face immediately showed joy.

The people who received the driver from each family also had joyful expressions on their faces.

Who doesn't know that the grandson of the emperor is the crown prince of the country agreed by his majesty and the crown prince.

The grandson already had Huaiyou's blood, so he was naturally close to Huaiyou.

Whether it is the grandson's mother's family or his wife's family, they are all from the Huaiyou lineage!

Now it is a credit to be able to bring all the school-age children to the north.

On the contrary, the officials of the Central Capital's Left Guard Department and Fengyang Mansion showed envy for a while.This kind of grace is not something ordinary people can get, and only the Huaiyou family has this kind of qualification and honor.

I can't be envious.

The people who stayed behind in the Central Division and the Fengyang Mansion felt a little envious.

ahead.

People finally arrived at Xin Guogong's mansion.

Into the head, are all plain onyx.

The servants of the Tang family knelt inside from the outside.

As a representative of the imperial court, Zhu Yunxi came to Zhongdu to pay homage to Tang He, Lord Xinguo, so he had to go to the funeral to perform the ceremony.

Tang Mansion has already arranged everything.

"Your Highness does not need to kneel down to salute, it is incompatible with etiquette."

When they arrived in front of the coffin in the front hall of the Tang Mansion, everyone stood in their respective positions. Tang Xie watched the emperor's grandson want to kneel down to pay homage, so he hurriedly moved behind him and whispered dissuasion.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Duke Xin is a hero who founded the country. He is as close to His Majesty as brothers. He is also the mother of the grandson concubine. He should do this ceremony alone."

Thinking of the fact that before he left Beijing, the old man called him alone, and spent several hours talking to him about the past of the Huaiyou family and their current position in the court.

Without much hesitation, Zhu Yunxi carried out a full set of memorial ceremonies with the most rigorous attitude under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Li Bi.

Up and down the Tang residence, there was already a sound of crying, starting with Mrs. Hu from Ziguo, everyone returned the salute.

Afterwards, the Huaiyou families present at the scene, as well as the left-behind department of Zhongdu, people from Fengyang Mansion, and those who accompanied them from Beijing, etc., also went to the coffin to pay their respects one by one.

When they got here, everyone was also divided into various places, accompanied by the children of the Tang family.

Zhu Yunxi also had the opportunity to visit Mrs. Hu of Xinguo.

He looked at the daughter of the Tang family who was around the Hu family, and said softly: "Queqing has just passed the gate of hell this year, and the matter of believing in the Duke of the Kingdom has been kept secret in the palace, just because she is afraid that her mind will stagnate. She was born with an injury. So this time, I didn't call her back, and I hope grandma will forgive me."

Mrs. Hu hurriedly shook her head: "Whatever is thought in the palace should be arranged. It is the best. It is her blessing to be able to enter the palace and have His Highness love you so much. I only hope that she can take care of her husband and raise her children. Virtuous and stable."

Zhu Yunxie said again: "You don't have to worry about the title of Lord Xin Guogong. Zheng Guogong's family has been transferred to Duke Kai Guogong, and Cao Guogong's family is now succeeded by Li Jinglong, and Wei Guogong is also succeeded by Duke Wei. When the country died of illness, the imperial court always remembered it.

This time, the central government has decided to build the meritorious mausoleum in Yingtian Zhongshan, and wait for the coffin of Lord Xin to be sent to Zhongshan for a temporary rest until the meritorious mausoleum is completed.

At that time, this title will also be taken down.According to the emperor's grandfather's intention, he must follow the eldest son's attack.But I also heard that brother Sheng's body is not in good shape?So... in the end, the family can also discuss and discuss what to do, and send a memorial to Ying Tian. "

The brother Sheng he was talking about was Tang Sheng, the son of Tang Ding, the eldest son of Tang He.

How the Tang family should seize the title is a long-standing problem in the palace.

Now the Tang family's highest official position is naturally the fifth son of the concubine, Tangli, from the official to the governor of the five armies.

And the most suitable one is the second child of the Tang family, Taiyuan Zhongwei Zhenfu Tang Fu.

But in terms of emotion and reason, it should be Tang Ding's lineage that inherits the title of Lord Xinguo.

Zhu Yunxi felt that the Duke of Xin's family failed to inherit the title originally, because the imperial court wanted to restrain and control the title, and there were also many reasons why the Tang family had many problems with inheriting the title.

Suddenly the topic involved attacking the noble, and everyone present fell silent.

Tang Li was the most calm.

I am a bastard, no matter what, I can't turn to myself.And now that he has reached the position of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, he will not be able to be granted a title in the future, but as long as he makes some contributions, he can always earn back a position like a hereditary commander for his descendants.

Tang Xie didn't think too much either, he was the first son, but he was the fourth eldest.Although the nephew of the boss above is not in good health, he is still a grandson.In addition, there is still the second child, and I can't get involved.

Only not far away, there was a young man with a pale face in the crowd, with nervous eyes.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes swept across the Tang family, looking at the young man, he thought it was Tang Sheng.

Mrs. Hu of Xinguo pondered for a few times, and immediately said: "The second child has been diligent in state affairs these years, loyal to the monarch and protecting the country. If His Majesty is interested, I hope that he can inherit this father's career."

Hu's heart was full of struggles.

But in all sorts of ways, it can't be that the Tang family's Xinguo duke has been seized for a long time, and then they have to find another person to seize the duke.

Not to mention the face of the Tang family, the imperial court also wanted face.

It is the most suitable and safest choice for the second child to seize the title.

"Eldest son!"

Behind the crowd, a maid from the Tang family let out a low cry, and there was some commotion behind.

A female family member came forward and whispered in Hu's ear: "It's nothing serious, it's just that brother Sheng is a little weak, so grandma doesn't have to worry."

Zhu Yunxi looked at what was happening in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I will pass on my grandmother's words to the heavens, and the imperial court will make another decree after the affairs of Duke Xin are finished."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi bowed to him, and then said goodbye.

After leaving Tang Mansion, Gao Yangzhi and others were already waiting outside.

"Everyone has already settled down. The left-behind department and the magistrate's yamen are very attentive, and there are also people everywhere in the city who have been sent out by Sun Zhenfu to watch secretly."

Gao Yangzhi stepped forward and whispered about the arrangements.

Zhu Yunxi said: "You and Gu go to the imperial city."

The imperial city of Zhongdu was built as early as the sixth year of Hongwu.Because of the will of the emperor, even outside the imperial city in Fengyang City, Zhongshu Province, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Yushitai, Yuanqiu, Fangqiu, Jishanchuan Altar of Sun Moon Society, Taimiao, and Million Hills were built. Cang, Qin Tianjian, Observatory and so on are located in the city.

It seems that as long as the emperor says to move the capital to Fengyang today.

Tomorrow the imperial court will be able to work as an errand in Fengyang City.

In fact, at the very beginning, the emperor did have such a plan.

Gao Yangzhi and the others nodded in agreement.

Sun Cheng and Tian Mai commanded the officers and soldiers to disperse back and forth.

It is not far from Zizi Guogong's mansion to the imperial city of the central capital, and it is estimated that it will only take more than a quarter of an hour.

The imperial city had already gotten the news that the grandson of the emperor would always live in the imperial city in Fengyang City, and the servants and maids in the imperial city cleaned up and down in a hurry.

The shape of the Zhongdu Imperial City is basically the same as that of the Yingtian Imperial City, and the construction of these two palaces is also a model for the construction of the entire Mingzong Prince's Mansion.

The servants and maids in the imperial city of Zhongdu were flattered and surprised by the arrival of the emperor's grandson. How many people were thinking that if they could be spotted by the emperor's grandson and taken to Yingtian, that would be a full demand. He has made great achievements.

It's just obvious that Zhu Yunxi's mind is not on these people.

After entering the imperial city, the layout of everything is the same as that of the imperial city of Yingtian.

After asking about the location of Wen Feiren's residence in the imperial city, Zhu Yunxi led Gao Yangzhi and the others over there.

a while.

Under a small courtyard, Yi Yi turned his back to the crowd and was chopping wood with an axe.In the kitchen next to it, fireworks have also been set off, and the smell of rice is wafting out.

Zhu Yunxi stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked into the courtyard, and whispered softly.

"Second brother, long time no see."
