"A will has come from the palace" Xia Xun stood up unhurriedly, his wife and children are hot kang now, and he should be at ease, what else can the emperor do to find him, isn't this the emperor's eldest nephew shining, Zhu Di, who is the eldest aunt, can he still say that he is probably sending some wedding cakes and gifts, the queen loves her sister, this gift is not light.
On the side of the Luohan bed, the family also heard it, because Ming'er had just given birth and was not suitable to move around, she was lying on the bed leaning on the quilt, talking to a few sisters, teasing the child, Xia Xun said to her: "You all sit, I'll go to the front hall to receive orders" As soon as he said this, Mu En took four brocade guards, followed by a large group of eunuchs in the palace, carrying countless cages tied with red silk.
Mu En smiled all over his face, arched his hand and broke into the flower hall: "You're welcome, the emperor and Niangniang have ordered, Madame has just given birth, it is not appropriate to get up to receive the decree, ask our family to go directly to the back house to announce the decree, hehe, Duke Guo and Madame, please sit, no need to kneel to answer." ” After Mu En finished speaking, he unfolded the holy decree and read it out, because this is the will given to Yang Xu's family, and it has not been polished by the cabinet, and it is Zhu Di's vernacular, in addition to expressing congratulations and rewarding various gifts with the queen, Zhu Di also crowned the eldest son of the Duke of Fuguo as General Wude, Xunwei, and gave the name: Huaiyuan Xia Xun sighed in his heart when he heard this: "His grandmother's, this kid is more blessed than his father, Lao Tzu fought hard to get to the position of the prince."
This kid fell into the world, and he didn't know anything except breastfeeding, so he immediately became a general.
Hey, this General Wude is a few officials."
Ming'er listened to the holy decree, but she was surprised and delighted, her son was going to join the guard, she had known for a long time, this was the rule of the Ming official system.
Xunwei is the emperor's Praetorian Guard, only the descendants of the knighted ministers can join the Xunwei, in other words, Xunwei is a group of officials of the second generation, these boys are comrades-in-arms in it, father generation after generation, whether it is to be an official in the future, or to succeed the father, the relationship between each other is closer than others.
Ming'er's brothers are all from Xunwei.
According to the consistent arrangement for the children of meritorious heroes from the Zhu Yuanzhang period, the eldest son will inherit his father's title, and the rest of the sons will be left as officials in Beijing after they become adults, and the rest will be officials in other places.
Before they reached adulthood, they all had to join the guards, practice martial arts, and learn the rules of the court.
The problem is that even if Xu Huizu, the eldest son of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, joined the guard when he was born, he was only a military attache of the seventh grade, and then as he grew older, he was promoted step by step, and finally inherited the prince of the country.
But her son started differently from others, the emperor personally gave the name, and was directly named General Wude, this is the official of the fifth grade, the real general has studied hard for ten years, and the person who has worked hard in the officialdom for a lifetime may not be able to mix with the five-grade official, and the son has just been born.
Zhu Di's favor for the Yang family is even thicker than that of Emperor Taizu Hongwu to Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, how can she not be overjoyed.
What Ming'er didn't know was that the name given by the emperor also had a deep meaning, because Zhu Neng Zhu Shihong, the Duke of Chengguo, was from Huaiyuan, and Zhu Di wishfully regarded the eldest son of the Duke of Fuguo as the Duke of Chengguo.
Yang Huaiyuan was lying in his mother's arms, his little head arching around looking for milk to eat.
As for the emperor named him a general of the five grades of martial arts, what kind of milk is delicious, and the eldest son of the Yang family ignored it.
When his father and his mother received the order to thank him, the martial arts general Yang Huaiyuan continued to play a big name, in his mother's arms, a small head arched: the road is long, I will go up and down and seek Zhu Di to stop the dynasty for five days, in order to mourn the Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng, but it is not a five-day holiday in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to do anything.
The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Qin Tianjian were particularly busy, preparing for the rituals, building filial piety sheds, and choosing burial places.
Zhu Neng's son Zhu Yong inherited his father's title and became the new Duke of Chengguo, who was wearing linen and filial piety to manage the funeral for his father.
Fuguo Gong gave birth to a son, and this is the eldest son, the future Fuguo Gong, the significance is even greater, many officials also have to come to celebrate, so there are many officials, in the sedan car directly prepared two gifts, red and white ceremonies together.
The deceased is the greatest, go to the Chengguo Mansion first, accompany Zhu Neng to shed a few tears, complain a few words sadly in front of the spirit, then wipe away the tears and come out, wipe his body and go to the Fuguo Mansion, as soon as he raised his legs and entered the door, his face was full of smiles, and he had to smile from his heart, and he smiled so much that there were laugh lines in the folds of his face, and it was really difficult for them.
Of course, the comrades-in-arms who have a deep friendship with Zhu Neng are sincerely sad, as for many civil officials, especially the former ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty, they have neither personal friendship nor friendship with Zhu Neng.
The news that the little grandfather of the Yang family was awarded the title of General Wude has not yet spread, and Zhu Neng, the prince of Chengguo, has passed away, and a national funeral is being held, and it is not good to publicize this matter, so not many people know about it, except for the people in the palace and the Yang family, only Ji Gang knows.
Ji Gang is in charge of Jinyiwei, and Zhu Di didn't deliberately hide it, how can he hide it from Ji Gang.
The problem is that Ji Gang didn't take this matter to heart, he is different from Xia Xun's half-hanging, he is a serious scholar, but the reader only reads the articles of the saints, for the officialdom system, etiquette, and rules, he can not learn it Of course it is impossible, if they don't learn these things, the Ministry of Rites still needs to arrange for someone to teach the official etiquette of the first time to the palace three days in advance Therefore, Ji Gang didn't think that it was a great deal for Zhu Di to crown Yang Xu's eldest son as General Wude, and he thought that Yang Xu's eldest son should be directly named the Duke of Shaoguo.
I didn't expect to be a general of Wude, an official who had never heard of it, not to mention the group of people under him, all of them were half-, how could they understand such profound political knowledge.
Ji Gang is now a real lonely minister, and the forces of the DPRK and China were originally the three major plates of honorable relatives, civil ministers, and military generals.
Needless to mention, the Xunqi group has long regarded him as a night owl who has nothing to do.
Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, and Mei Yin, but they were all rectified by him, and they were all killed and closed, because the real crimes of these people, Zhu Di could not announce them, so as not to make the court uneasy, so they all asked Chen Ying and Ji Gang to find some other charges.
Now Yang Xu, the Duke of Fuguo, also called this vicious dog to bite, and almost planted it inside, and the Xunqi Group has listed Ji Gang as a refusal to come and go.
The Wenchen group is divided into three forces, the princeling faction, the second prince faction, and the neutral faction.
Originally, the officials of the prince's faction excluded him, because he had a bad relationship with Yang Xu, the auxiliary prince, so he was even more alienated from him.
The officials of the Second Prince's faction have already made a grudge against him, not to mention, as for the civil officials of the neutral faction, they respect ghosts and gods and stay away from him, these people don't know the news yet, even if they know, if they smash a little taste from it, who will tell him Now there is no big conflict between the military general group and him, and the relationship between the two sides is not far or close, and it is quite peaceful.
But Ji Gang didn't feel that he was about to become a public enemy of the whole people, he felt very good about himself, and all along, who was the whole person fell, gave him an illusion, and the civil and military officials were wary of him, and he was even more afraid of him.
Xia Xun stood up for Xue Lu, personally rushed to Taoyuanguan to sit in the town, and humiliated him with the status of the prince of the country, which was also understood by him as Yang Xu's poor donkey skills and his skills stopped here, who else should he be afraid of Ji Gang was a person who could be expelled by the teaching when he entered the school, because his surname was extreme and frivolous, and later he chose King Yan when the court was powerful, and the eldest prince when the second prince was powerful, which showed his speculative psychology and adventurous surname.
Perhaps, the most cautious moment in his life was only when he was a spy in Jinling City during the Jing Dynasty, when he was about to lose his head once he was exposed, and his surname barely suppressed his surname, and now, his surname has become more and more inflated.
As a result, Ji Gang's eyes became more and more empty, and he even walked a little shaky.
Ji Gang was walking on the royal road in the palace like a crab, and suddenly a general came in a hurry.
The person who came was Xue Lu, and Xue Lu came here to choose a cemetery for Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo.
Regarding the place of Zhu Neng's burial, there are three main opinions now, the opinion of the Ministry of Rites is to choose a place with good mountains and rivers for him to settle in Huaiyuan, the hometown of Chengguo Gong, and the opinion of the army is to bury him near Zhongshan.
Emperor Taizu's closest prince is Xu Da, and General Xu's mausoleum is not facing Zhongshan Qin Tianjian often has people walking all over the place, painting graphics, recording the world's feng shui good land, no need for someone here to pass away, now send a feng shui master to travel around the world to choose a cemetery, Qin Tianjian moved out of the drawings to look at it, but put forward another opinion, they said to bury General Zhu in Yanjing Huairou Beize Mountain, but also said to move more than 100 people surnamed Ruan who had been captured on the Annan front line to Beize Mountain, to be General Zhu Neng's tomb keeper.
The three sides were originally arguing, but the Qintian Supervisor implicitly hinted that this was the emperor's intention, and how shrewd the officials of the Ministry of Rites were, and they immediately became good, but the army did not hear it and felt that this was not appropriate.
Emperor Yongle is in Jinling, and of course he will be buried in Xiaoling after a hundred years, and he will be buried in Chengguo so far away, so it is inconvenient to say that the descendants of the Zhu family go to pay tribute.
Xue Lu is the main person in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so he rushed into the palace to hear the emperor's decision.
Ji Gang suddenly saw Xue Lu at a glance, and suddenly remembered the humiliation he had suffered, and he couldn't help but be angry from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts To be continued:
