Xia Xun stood up calmly. He was now a carefree man with his wife and children on the hot bed. What else could the emperor have to do with him? Isn't this the birth of the emperor's eldest nephew, Zhu Di?
Can this brother-in-law express his gratitude? He is probably here to send some wedding cakes and gifts. The Queen loves my sister, so this gift cannot be taken lightly.
On the other side of the Luohan bed, the whole family also heard it. Because Ming'er had just given birth and was not suitable for walking around, she was lying on the bed leaning on the quilt, talking to a few sisters and teasing the children. Xia Xun said to her: "You all sit down
Come on, I’ll go to the front hall to receive the order!”
As soon as he said this, Mu En led four royal guards, followed by a large group of eunuchs from the palace, carrying countless boxes and cages tied with red silk. Mu En burst into the flower hall with a smile on his face, holding his hands in hand:
"Your Majesty, please don't be polite. Your Majesty and Your Majesty have given instructions. My wife has just given birth and it is not appropriate to get up to receive the order. We are told to go directly to the back house to announce the order. Haha, please sit down, Mr. and Madam. There is no need to kneel to receive the order."
After Mu En finished speaking, he unfolded the imperial edict and read it out. Huangmen Neipin provided that because this was an edict given to Yang Xu's family, it had not been polished by the cabinet. It was written in Zhu Di's vernacular. In addition to expressing congratulations, he also spoke with the empress.
In addition to various gifts, Zhu Di also named the eldest son of Duke Fu Guo as General of Wude and Honored Guard, and personally gave him the name: Huaiyuan!
After hearing this, Xia Xun sighed in his heart: "His grandma, this boy is more blessed than his father. I worked hard to get to the position of Duke of the country. This boy was born in the world, and he has nothing to do except suck milk."
I understood, so I immediately became a general. Hey, what rank is this general of martial virtue?"
Ming'er was surprised and happy after hearing the imperial edict. She had known for a long time that her son was going to join the Imperial Guard. This was the rule of the Ming Dynasty's official system. The Imperial Guard was the emperor's imperial guard, and only the descendants of ministers who had been knighted could do so.
Joining the Honor Guard, in other words, there is a group of second-generation officials in the Honor Guard. These boys are all comrades in arms. From father to son, they will become officials in the future or inherit their father's title. The relationship between them is better than that of other people.
A level closer.
Several of Ming'er's brothers were all born in the imperial guard. According to the consistent arrangements for the children of meritorious officials since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, the eldest son will inherit his father's title. When the remaining legitimate sons reach adulthood, one will be kept as an official in the capital, and the rest will be released outside.
They serve as local officials. Before they reach adulthood, they must join the Imperial Guard, practice martial arts, and learn the rules of the court.
The problem is that even if Xu Huizu, the eldest son of Wei Guogong Xu Da, joined the Xunwei when he was born, he was only awarded a title of Xunwei, a seventh-grade military attaché. Then as he got older, he was promoted step by step, and finally inherited
The Duke, like Xu Zengshou and other sons, were just ordinary honorary guards. After they reached adulthood, they were promoted step by step, and finally became military attachés such as Governor-General and Governor-General Qianshi.
But her son started out differently from others. The emperor personally gave him the name and directly named him General of Wude. This is a fifth-rank official, a real general! He studied hard for many years, passed the Jinshi, and was in the officialdom.
A person who works hard all his life may not be able to become a fifth-rank official. His son has just been born.
Zhu Di's favor to the Yang family was even greater than that of Emperor Taizu Hongwu to King Xu Da of Zhongshan. How could she not be extremely happy? What Ming'er didn't know was that the name given by the emperor also had a profound meaning.
Because Duke Cheng, Zhu Neng, and Zhu Shihong, were originally from Huaiyuan, Zhu Di took the eldest son of Duke Fu as Duke Cheng out of wishful thinking.
Yang Huaiyuan was lying in his mother's arms, his little head arching around looking for milk.
As for the emperor's title of General of Military Virtue of the fifth rank..., what is that stuff? Is it delicious with milk? The eldest son of the Yang family ignored it. When his father and mother received the order to thank him, General Yang of Military Virtue
Huaiyuan continued to play big, and in his mother's arms, his little head arched: The road is long and long, I will search up and down...
※The newest
Zhu Di suspended the court for five days to mourn Zhu Neng, Duke Cheng. This was not like the Ming Dynasty having a five-day holiday and not having to do anything.
Naturally, all yamen have to work as usual. The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, and the Qintian Prison are especially busy. They have to prepare for sacrifices, build mourning tents, and choose burial places... The Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion also have a lot of things to do.
I still have to deal with the above three yamen all day long.
Zhu Neng's son Zhu Neng inherited his father's title and became the new Duke of Cheng. He was attending the funeral for his father in linen and filial piety. At the Duke's Mansion, there was a steady stream of people paying their respects. Xia Xun also went there immediately.
Cheng Guogong Mansion expressed condolences to General Zhu Neng.
The Duke of Fu has given birth to a son, and he is the eldest son. The future Duke of Fu is of even greater significance. Many officials will also come to celebrate, so many officials prepared two gifts in their sedans for both weddings and weddings.
It's done.
The deceased was the elder, so he first went to the Duke of Cheng's Mansion, shed a few tears with Zhu Neng, and uttered a few words of sorrow before his soul. Then he wiped away his tears, wiped himself, and ran to the Duke of Fu's Mansion, raising his legs.
As soon as I walked in, my face was full of smiles. I had to smile from the bottom of my heart, and there were smile lines in the folds of my face. It was really hard for them.
Of course, the comrades of Paoze who had a close relationship with Zhu Neng are really sad. As for many civil servants, especially the old ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty, they have neither personal nor friendship with Zhu Neng. It would be embarrassing for you to make people really sad.
It's just a matter of favor, that's all.
The news that the Young Master of the Yang family has been awarded the title of General of Wude has not yet spread. The Duke of Cheng, Zhu Neng, has passed away and a national funeral is being held here. It is not good to publicize this matter, so not many people know about it, except for the people in the palace.
, only Ji Gang knew about the Yang family. Ji Gang was in charge of the Jin Yiwei, and Zhu Di didn't hide it deliberately, so how could he hide it from Ji Gang.
The problem is that Ji Gang doesn't take this matter to heart. He is different from Xia Xun, who is a serious scholar. But scholars only read articles by saints. He can understand the official system, etiquette, and rules.
Can they master it without learning? Of course it's impossible. If they don't learn these things and master them, wouldn't the Ministry of Rites need to arrange for someone to teach the officials the etiquette three days in advance when they go to the palace for the first time?
So Ji Gang didn't think it was a big deal that Zhu Di named Yang Xu's eldest son the title of General of Wude. He thought he should directly make Yang Xu's eldest son the title of Shao Guogong. Unexpectedly, he just named him a general of Wude.
An official I’ve never heard of! Not to mention the people under him, all of them are half-baked, and they don’t understand such profound political knowledge.
Ji Gang is now a real lone minister. The forces in the DPRK were originally composed of three major sections: noble relatives, civil servants, and military generals.
Needless to say, the Xunqi Group has long regarded him as a night owl who comes to do anything. The Duke of Wei Xu Huizu, the Marquis of Changxing Geng Bingwen, and the consort Mei Yin were all punished by him. They were punished to death and imprisoned. Because these few
It was impossible for Zhu Di to announce the real crime of the throne to avoid unrest in the court, so he asked Chen Ying and Ji Gang to find other crimes. Now the auxiliary Duke Yang Xu also asked this vicious dog to bite him, and he almost died.
Trapped inside, Xunqi Group has listed Ji Gang as a person who refuses to deal with him.
The civil servant group was divided into three factions, the Prince's faction, the Second Prince's faction, and the Neutral faction. Officials from the Prince's faction had originally ostracized him, but because he had an enmity with Yang Xu, the auxiliary prince, they became even more alienated from him. Officials from the Second Prince's faction had long followed
He has taken revenge, let alone that. As for the neutral civil servants, they keep a distance from him. Not to mention that these people don't know the news yet, even if they know it, who will follow if they can get some flavor from it?
He said?
Now there is no big conflict between the general group and him. The relationship between the two parties is neither far nor close, and is relatively peaceful.
But Jigang didn't feel that he was about to become a public enemy. He felt very good about himself. He had always tried to punish anyone, which gave him an illusion. The civil and military officials were wary of him and alienated him, which he interpreted as fear.
Xia Xun stepped in for Xue Lu and personally came to Taoyuan Temple to sit in charge. He took advantage of his position as a duke to humiliate him. He also understood that Yang Xu was already at the end of his skills. If his skills stopped here, who else could be like him?
What should we be afraid of?
Ji Gang was always expelled from the imperial edict when he entered a government school because of his extreme and frivolous personality. Later, when the court was powerful, he chose Prince Yan, and when the second prince was powerful, he chose the eldest prince, which further showed his
His speculative psychology and adventurous character. Perhaps the most cautious moment in his life was when he was a secret agent in Jinling City during the Jingnan period. At that time, if he was exposed, he would lose his head, so his rationality was barely suppressed.
Personality, and now, his personality has become more and more expanded.
As a result, Ji Gang became more and more arrogant, even walking a little staggering.
Ji Gang was walking along the royal road in the palace like a crab, when suddenly a general came hurriedly towards him.
The person who came was none other than Xue Lu. Xue Lu came here to help Duke Zhu Neng choose a cemetery.
Regarding Zhu Neng's burial place, there are currently three main opinions. The opinion of the Ministry of Rites is to choose a place with good mountains and rivers for him to be buried in Huaiyuan (Anhui), the hometown of Cheng Guogong. The opinion of the army is to bury him in Zhongzhong.
Being near a mountain, a prince, and being close to the emperor's tombs is also qualified. The prince closest to Emperor Taizu was Xu Da. Doesn't the tomb of General Xu face Zhongshan?
Qin Tianjian often has people traveling around the world, drawing pictures and recording the best Feng Shui places in the world. It doesn't need to be that someone has passed away here. Today, Feng Shui masters are sent to travel around the world to select cemeteries. Qin Tianjian took out the drawings and looked at them, but made another suggestion.
They said that General Zhu Da would be buried in Beize Mountain in Huairou, Beijing. They also said that they would move more than a hundred people with the Ruan surname who had been captured on the Annan front to Beize Mountain to serve as general Zhu Neng's tombkeepers.
The three parties were originally arguing, but Qin Tian Jian Zheng implicitly hinted that this was the emperor's wish. The officials of the Ministry of Rites were so shrewd that they immediately followed the good advice. Only the military side did not notice it and felt that this was not appropriate.
Emperor Yongle lived in Jinling. Of course he will be buried in Xiaoling a hundred years later. Is it appropriate to bury Duke Chengguo in such a far place? Besides, it is not convenient for the descendants of the Zhu family to pay homage. Xue Lu was a member of the Fifth Army
The main person in charge of the Dudu Mansion rushed into the palace to hear the emperor's decision.
Ji Gang suddenly saw Xue Lu and suddenly remembered the humiliation he suffered that day. He couldn't help but feel angry and evil in his heart!
