The Most Powerful Man in the World

To be honest, Yang Yiqing was able to be proclaimed as a prince. To be honest, it was really in the light of Chu Yi. If it wasn't for Chu Yi's calculations, it would have been good for Yang Yiqing to defend the border town in this battle. Take the tartar together.

Even this title is due to Chu Yi's being crowned as a king, which gave him the opportunity to be named a prince. According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, since the Jingnan period, the possibility of a hereditary prince is almost eliminated, and most people of later generations are not. It is only a marquis or earl, as for a duke, it is almost impossible.

For example, Wang Shouren, who quelled the rebellion of King Ning for more than [-] days, was finally named the new prince, and was posthumously awarded the new prince at the time of Longqing.It can be seen that the title of the Duke of Ming Dynasty is rare.

If it wasn't for Chu Yi being crowned king, Yang Yiqing's meritorious deeds would be the same as being a prince, but Chu Yi was crowned a prince, which made the awards of many meritorious people invisibly raised a lot, so this time the court There will be dozens of marquis and uncles all at once, and the number of viscounts and barons is probably hundreds.

It can be said that this is definitely the most rewarded nobility in Daming since the Battle of Jingnan. Of course, Daming destroyed the [-] Tatar army in the first battle, and even captured many nobles such as the Tatar Khan, and almost gave the northern aliens to the war. Broken bones can at least keep the northern frontier peaceful for decades. No one can say anything even if they reward a few more dukes and marquis.

In addition to Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren has performed the most in the past few months. After King Ning raised his army, Jiangnan was empty. Wang Yangming turned the tide with his own efforts. It can be said that the rebellion of King Ning was quelled. Eighty percent.

With Wang Yangming's momentum at the time, as long as the imperial reinforcements could keep up, even if Chu Yi didn't go to Jiangnan to sit in town, Wang Yangming would be sure to pacify the rebellion against King Ning.

Of course, there is a very small possibility that King Ning will take the lead, but no matter what, Wang Yangming's performance in the process of pacifying King Ning's rebellion is even more dazzling than Yang Yiqing.

It's just that now Wang Yangming did not return to the capital with the army, but pacified the remnants of King Ning's rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, but the reward for Wang Yangming has also come out.

"Wang Yangming has made great achievements in quelling the rebellion, breaking Nanchang, plundering Jiujiang, Xia Anqing, and restoring Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places.

For Wang Yangming's award, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not surprised, but Wang Yangming's performance in the rebellion of King Ning was so amazing that it blinded everyone's eyes.

Who would have thought that Wang Yangming, a well-known great scholar, would have such talent and attainments on top of the art of war and strategy.

As a minister of officials and an elder in the cabinet, Wang Hua couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement at this moment, no matter how good his qi-raising skills were.

Wang Yangming is the son of Wang Hua. He has been conscientious and dedicated to Wang Hua all his life. His plan is to get a posthumous posthumous title from the court after his death.

But now, his son Wang Shouren has been named Duke Ang due to his military exploits. This is a hereditary and irreplaceable position of the Duke, which means that the Ming Dynasty will not die, and the title will be inherited continuously. These houses of the national princes, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, are side by side.

I don't know how many officials couldn't help but look at Wang Hua with an envious look after Wang Yangming's award.

In addition to Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming, who entrusted Chu Yi to confer the blessing of Wang Zhi, who was exceptionally named a hereditary prince, the awards of Xu Tianzuo, Cheng Xiangwu and other generals were also announced one by one.

For example, Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu and others led the army outside and had not yet returned from the grasslands, but the awards were not dropped, and they were all named marquis.

In addition to these people, Han Kun, the commander of the Four Guards of Tengxiang, and Xu Hongye, the commander of the Beijing camp, who were named marquis this time, were all generals who performed outstandingly when Ballsborough attacked the capital.

Sun Qiu, Xu Tianzuo and other new nobles in the army were named earls, dozens of generals in the army were named viscounts, and hundreds of middle and lower-level generals were named barons.

For a whole morning, almost all of them were rewarding soldiers with meritorious deeds, but in just half a day, Daming had one more prince, two princes, several princes, a dozen uncles, hundreds of others. Viscount, Baron.

If the princes represented by the British prince Zhang Mao and others were the honorable members of the previous generation of the Ming Dynasty, then the newly promoted Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming, Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu and others are the new members of the Ming dynasty.

The old generation of honors and honors had their bones broken early in the battle of the Civil Fort, like mud that could not support the wall, and now a new batch of honors and honors that Chu Yi spent so much effort to support finally took shape.

No matter what those civil servants thought in their hearts, whether it was the emperor or Chu Yi who spilled so many titles all at once, what they did was to launch this new class of nobles to fight with the civil servants, and to give Daming's broken leg again. pick up.

After the awards for the officers and men in the army were completed, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and in addition to the imperial court's reward and pensions, it was passed that three million taels of silver were allocated from the inner treasury to reward those who had meritorious deeds.

The next step is to offer prisoners to the Tai Temple.

Operated by officials of the Ministry of Rites, Tatar prisoners headed by Tatar nobles such as Dayan and Ballsborough were bound and escorted to the Taimiao Temple.

As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao personally led the officials and the Taimiao to burn incense and pray before the Taimiao, offering sacrifices to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in the Taimiao.

Zhu Houzhao was dressed in full clothes, after praying, he turned around, his eyes fell on Dayan and the others, and he slowly said, "Dayan, do you have anything to say?"

But Ballsborough sneered, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Zhengde kid, kill if you want, don't even think about humiliating me."

Then Ballsborough pointed at Chu Yi, who was wearing a black embroidered gold five-clawed golden dragon robe, and said, "Chu Yi, I heard that you have been made a king, don't you know that all the birds are flying, the good bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead. , running dog cooking..."

Chu Yi's expression remained the same, while Zhu Houzhao's expression became gloomy immediately, staring coldly at Ballsborough.

[A piece of more than [-] words, not separated. I have been so busy these days, the update is not enough, I feel very embarrassed, I will try to restore the normal update as soon as possible. 】

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Several Tatar nobles and even Dayan Khan who accompanied Ballsborough looked at Ballsborough with a look of astonishment.

These people were very surprised, they never thought that Ballsborough would say such words in front of Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi.

Not to mention the relationship between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, even if there is any filth between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, it is not something they can talk about, especially when Ballsborough is in front of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao. This is simply a provocation to Zhu Houzhao.

Especially at this moment, when several nobles looked at Zhu Houzhao with a gloomy face, they couldn't help but feel a little worried in their hearts, and they could see that Zhu Houzhao was angry.

If there is no accident, as the captives of Daming, it is obviously impossible for them to return to the prairie due to their status, but according to Daming's practice, Daming will not abuse them very much. If you are lucky enough, you may even be awarded a title and spend the rest of your life in Daming.

It was originally like this. After all, how their future will be depends on the emperor's mood. If the emperor's mood is good enough, then their future treatment will not be too bad. If the emperor's mood is very bad, then they will It's really hard to say what's going to happen.

Several glances fell on Zhu Houzhao, and at the same time a leader said to Ballsborough: "Prince Borrot, please apologize to His Majesty and His Royal Highness Wu..."

Ballsborough looked at the Tatar nobles with disdain, and sneered: "Is this prince wrong? The day when the world rises in the Ming Dynasty, the cunning rabbit will die. The more merits Yi has made, the sooner his death will come, and no emperor will allow his subordinates to have a minister who has enough ability to overthrow him and even endanger his throne."

The others around him subconsciously took a few steps back, widening the distance between them and Ballsborough. At the same time, they lowered their heads one by one, wishing that a crack could be listed on the ground at this moment, so that They can hide.

Hearing such words in his ears, his heart was beating wildly.

It's really that Ballsborough's words are too cruel, especially because he is so crazy to provoke the relationship between Chu Yi and the emperor, it is really hard to help him break a cold sweat.

Chu Yi sighed softly, looked at Ballsboro and said, "Since Prince Balls is eager to die, then please ask Your Majesty to be a thousand Princes of Balls."

Zhu Houzhao's expression was very ugly, and he felt that his good mood was completely destroyed by Ballsborough. Even if Chu Yi didn't mention it, Zhu Houzhao would definitely not let Ballsborough go so easily.

Taking a deep breath, I heard Zhu Houzhao look at Ballsborough coldly and say, "Send my will to put Ballsborough in the Heavenly Prison. After three days, ask outside the Meridian Gate!"

Ballsborough glanced at Chu Yi, his expression was calm, and there was no surprise at all, obviously he had expected such a thing for a long time.

He came excitedly, but he was in a very bad mood when he went back. Zhu Houzhao barely smiled when talking to Chu Yi. As for other times, Zhu Houzhao couldn't see a smile on his face at all.

The huge Luan Jia slowly moved forward, Chu Yi sat on the Luan Jia, looked at Zhu Houzhao's expression and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Why should your Majesty have the same knowledge as a person who wants to die?"

Zhu Houzhao looked up at Chu Yi and said, "My partner, you said that Ballsborough could live, why did he commit the crime knowingly and seek death?"

Apparently Zhu Houzhao couldn't understand why Ballsborough was obsessed with begging for death. Isn't it bad to live?

Chu Yi understands Ballsborough somewhat. As the most prestige existence on the grasslands except Dayan Khan, he can say no surprises. Once he arrives at Yanhan, then Ballsborough will not be surprised. Te is bound to inherit Dayan Khan's khan position and become a new generation of khan on the grasslands in one fell swoop.

That is to say, the future of Ballsborot was promising, and even the future Khan of the Prairie could be on an equal footing with the son of tomorrow, but in a big defeat, Ballsboroth lost everything, even his personal freedom will be completely lose.

Like Dayan Khan, the whole person is very old. After the defeat in the first battle, he has long lost that kind of heroic spirit, but he is more able to accept this earth-shaking change than others.

Ballsborough is obviously aware that his future will be limited to the capital, and he may even be secretly imprisoned in a mansion without the slightest self-possession.

Ballsborough, who was in high spirits, could not accept such a result at all, so he would knowingly and deliberately stimulate Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao. All he wanted was to die cleanly. Da Mingzi's pet will be brought out to promote the military might of Ming Dynasty.

Think about the Han Dynasty, the most famous one in history is Jieli Khan. Jieli Khan was defeated by Tang Dynasty. Although the khan has a high status, was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty pulled out the khan of Jie Li when he summoned foreign envoys and ordered him to sing and dance?

Ballsborough obviously couldn't accept this result, so he would rather anger the emperor and Chu Yi and ask for a happy death.

Hearing Chu Yi's explanation, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but snorted coldly: "It's really cheap for him to execute him like this, if not, I will make him live well, and then make this little prince every celebration. Come out and sing and dance for everyone to add to the atmosphere."

The mighty motorcade returned to the Forbidden City, but before they reached the Forbidden City, they suddenly saw a team of swift horses rushing in. The leader was the eunuch chief Gu Da, who was staying in the Forbidden City.

Seeing the inner servant Du Li from a distance, his eyes flashed brightly when he saw Tian Ziluan driving, he turned over and dismounted, and bowed loudly: "My servant Du Li, the commander of Fenggu has come to see your majesty."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but wonder: "Oh, Du Li, did something happen in the palace!"

He just went out of the palace to offer prisoners to the Taimiao. Although it was time-consuming, the time was still sufficient. It is said that nothing would happen in the palace at this time, but Gu Dayong sent Du Li to report. Obviously something happened in the palace.

"Du Li, if your Majesty asks you, just say anything!"

Du Li glanced at Chu Yi, and quickly said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wu, the Empress... She may be giving birth!"

"what!"

Zhu Houzhao exclaimed, his face full of surprise, and he heard Zhu Houzhao with a bit of excitement and couldn't help saying: "Pass my will, and return to the palace immediately!"

The corners of Chu Yi's mouth twitched slightly. The queen was about to give birth, which was naturally the most important thing for Zhu Houzhao.

If it is said that Zhu Houzhao has many descendants, that's fine. As an emperor, Zhu Houzhao may not react so much.

After all, several years after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he favored many concubines and even palace maids, even if there were not one hundred, there were eighty.

However, none of so many concubines and even palace maids were pregnant. If it wasn't for the previous conditioning, I am afraid that Zhu Houzhao would still have no children at this moment.

The excited Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but hold Chu Yi's hand, and said with a bit of excitement: "Big companion, my emperor is about to be born, and I have a queen!"

Chu Yi smiled to comfort Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty is blessed with a deep relationship, and the reproduction of offspring should not be a problem..."

Zhu Houzhao said nervously: "My mate, do you think the queen gave birth to me this time as a princess or a prince?"

Chu Yi said slowly: "It would be great if the queen could give birth to a dragon son, but even if the queen gave birth to a princess, it would be of royal blood, and His Majesty should treat it equally."

Zhu Houzhao nodded in agreement. For an existence that was almost judged to be unable to have children, being able to have children of his own, regardless of gender, is something worth celebrating.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao grabbed Chu Yi's hand and said to Chu Yi with a little nervousness: "My companion, you can go back to the palace with me."

The Kunning Palace where the Queen was located was filled with a tense atmosphere at the moment, but a famous palace maid and a servant were standing at the door of a palace with their eyebrows down and their air not daring to come out.

There were screams from the palace. When Chu Yi was pulled by Zhu Houzhao and appeared outside the palace, the queen mother, who had already received the news, grabbed it and wanted to rush into the palace. Zhu Houzhao said, "Don't worry, Huang'er!"

The delivery room has always been regarded as a place of blood and filth, and many people are reluctant to approach it. At this moment, even if Zhu Houzhao wanted to enter, they would be stopped.

Hearing the screams of the empress coming from the room, Zhu Houzhao was naturally anxious in his heart. He took Chu Yi's hand and said nervously, "My mate, when will my son be born!"

Chu Yi really never thought that Zhu Houzhao would have such a cute side, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if the ministers are all right, the queen will be able to give birth to the dragon son smoothly!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi in confusion.

Only Chu Yi said: "Your Majesty, listen, the Queen's voice is loud and full of energy, if there is no accident, everything should be safe and sound."

More than an hour passed, and in the room, the queen who had a loud voice before became hoarse, and even listening to the voice, you could tell that the queen was exhausted from tossing.

Suddenly, a loud cry was heard, and only the cry of the baby was heard. Outside the delivery room of Kunning Palace, Zhu Houzhao, the Queen Mother and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as I heard a squeak, I saw a woman holding an ugly-looking baby with a happy face and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty, the Queen Mother gave birth to a dragon son."

"Longzi, hahaha, I have a successor!"

This is what Zhu Houzhao thought, and the result is really good, the queen really gave birth to a dragon son.

It has long been rumored that Zhu Houzhao has no heirs because he favors treacherous officials.

In the face of these rumors, even if Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, there is no better way, so the only thing that can break the rumors among the market is the truth.

As long as Zhu Houzhao's concubines can give birth to dragon sons, then the rumors about Zhu Houzhao's incompetence and incompetence will be broken.

Now that the queen gave birth to a dragon child, the emperor only needs to announce it to the world, and the world will know it by then, and the previous rumors will naturally have no market.

The queen mother even folded her hands together and recited the scriptures, as if she was praying for the queen and the newly born prince.

Soon Zhu Houzhao walked into a room, and saw several palace maids carefully waiting for a baby, who was breastfeeding in a big mouth in the nurse's arms.

Seeing the baby, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help showing a bit of a smile, his eyes fell on Chu Yi and he said, "My companion, come and see, does this emperor's eldest son have some imperial majesty?"

Zhu Houzhao was obviously in a very good mood, and was also very excited, he couldn't help saying.

Chu Yi looked at the little prince who was regarded by Zhu Houzhao as the successor of the next emperor at birth, and shook his head slightly.
