The hereditary iron certificate means that the title of Ying Guogong is truly hereditary.
The Fu family will always be the noble and wealthy family of the Ming Dynasty.
"The Duke of Ying conquered Shu, conquered Yunnan and Guizhou, and conquered Mobei. He has made great achievements!"
"Enter Dr. Ronglu, go up to the pillar, and be the crown prince's grand master!" Zhu Yunxi thought about it, "The contribution to pacifying Yungui is no less than the northern expedition against the Tartars." After saying that, he looked at Fu Rang, "In order to commend Ying Guogong's achievements, Gu allowed me to build a temple in Yunnan to show it to the world!"
"Your Highness!" Fu Rang was already sobbing.
This reward may not seem that generous, but in fact it is extremely generous.
Fu Youde is already the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how great his merits are, he cannot be crowned king while he is still alive. The Crown Prince, Grand Master and Ronglu Doctor are also the highest meritorious positions in the Ming Dynasty. But building a temple is different. Building a temple is equivalent to Fu Youde alone. The book's biography has been passed down for centuries.
"On behalf of my father, I would like to express my gratitude to Heaven!" Fu Rang kowtowed and cried.
"These days, you are now taking care of your father at home!" As he said that, Zhu Yunxi thought of the elusive Xi Yingzhen and said, "If God has eyes, maybe there will be a turn for the better!"
Fu Rang kowtowed and left with tears in his eyes.
After such an episode, Zhu Yunxi and the generals and ministers had no other thoughts.
Let’s talk about the Liaodong War, the number of casualties, some weaknesses exposed by the Ming army during this battle, some areas that need improvement, etc.
They also described their respective contributions, but neither Ping An nor the others were good at talking. They talked about how many people they had killed, how many heads they had cut off, etc.
And Li Jinglong, who had always been unfazed as long as he was present, was extremely quiet now.
Whatever Zhu Yunxi asked, he just said what he said without saying a word. He neither deliberately flattered nor tried to please, and was quite steady.
Zhu Yunxi had long known about the matter between him and Ping An.
I thought that Li Jinglong would accuse the other party harshly in front of him, but unexpectedly, Li Jinglong not only didn't say anything, but also talked about the merits of peace during the several long speeches.
"Can war really change people like this?" Zhu Yunxi thought to himself.
~~~
After the discussion, the generals withdrew, leaving only Zhu Yunxi, Li Jinglong, the emperor and his ministers in the palace.
"Serve tea to Gu and Duke Cao!" Zhu Yunxi ordered the palace attendants with a smile.
When the tea came, Li Jinglong took it with both hands, thinking deeply that he seemed a little cautious.
"You are such a talented person, you went out to fight a battle, and you came back like this?" Zhu Yunxi laughed and scolded, "Where did your cleverness go? Why are you like a wooden pile now? You can't say anything without asking me. Don’t say a word!”
Li Jinglong hurried to His Highness, "When I was in Liaodong, I missed Your Highness day and night. On the way back to Beijing, I was also thinking about what I would do after seeing Your Highness. But now, sitting in this imperial city, I don't know why, in my heart It seems to be blocked..."
"War syndrome, maybe?"
Zhu Yunxi secretly thought, I heard that the temperament of people who have experienced tragic wars will change drastically, and they will be completely different.
"You should take a good rest at home these days!" Zhu Yunxi said comfortingly, "We, monarch and minister, have a long time to come, and you are still behind when you serve!"
Then he added, "When the military report reached the capital, not only Gu, but also the old man looked at you with admiration. He said that you have the talent to surpass me. In the future, there will be a greater burden placed on you!"
"I will not give up even if I die!" Li Jinglong frowned slightly and said seriously.
He said, seemingly hesitantly, "Your Highness..."
"But what's so embarrassing?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter, now you are the hero, haha." He said, smiling again, "As long as it's not too taboo, I can tolerate you."
"My lord, if you let yourself go wild with ginseng..." Li Jinglong peeked at Zhu Yunxi's face and said carefully.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "What's this? In the past, you ignored your official status and got a state body. What did you say?"
Li Jinglong laughed twice, but his eyes were somewhat distracted.

Coming out of Lezhizhai, Li Jinglong still looked half-dead.
As soon as I walked out of the palace gate and before I got on my horse, I saw a civil servant getting out of the carriage opposite.
"Old Li!"
"Piss off!"
It turned out that the person Li Jinglong met was no one else, but Xie Jin, a Hanlin scholar.
Li Jinglong looked at the other party in surprise, because the other party was wearing the clothes of a third-grade civil servant.
"Have you been promoted?" Li Jinglong asked.
Xie Jin smiled happily and said, "It's thanks to your blessing that I went to Liaodong once to convey the decree. After I came back, I was edited by the Hanlin Academy and directly became the Zuo Du Yushi of the Inspectorate!"
"Well, he is a serious official!"
For a duke like Li Jinglong, he doesn't even look down on even the six powerful ministers, let alone a Zuodu censor. They are just some scholars who talk all day long, write articles and curse, and are plagued by it.
.
The so-called Yanguan is just an official who the emperor gave charity to these stinky scholars in order to give them something to do. If we rely on them who sell their mouths for national affairs, it is better to rely on the pimps who sell their butts.
Xie Jin was also quite surprised to see that Li Jinglong didn't mean to congratulate him. In his impression, Li Jinglong was a person who always talked to people. If he had seen him promoted in the past, he would have set up several tables of wine on the Qinhuai River to congratulate him.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Why are you so preoccupied?" Xie Jin looked at the palace entrance and saw many people coming in and out, so he pulled Li Jinglong aside and whispered, "But you were scolded by the emperor's grandson?"
"What is the relationship between me and His Highness? Your Highness is willing to scold me?" Li Jinglong was displeased and said, "I'm thinking..." As he said that, he looked around and said, "Hey, there's something on my mind!"
"What's going on in your heart that makes you so worried?" Xie Jin thought about it, "Can you tell me about it?"
"It just so happens that I really need someone to advise me on this matter!" Li Jinglong also nodded.
"Let's go, there is an attacking girl at the entrance of the alley next to Chang'an Street..."
Before Xie Jin finished speaking, he heard Li Jinglong say, "Hey, those places are too expensive. Let's find a cheap place. There is a bacon restaurant in the back street of Nancheng that is also very good. Let's go and have a drink!"
As he said that, he patted the other party on the shoulder, causing the thin Jie Jin to stagger.
~~~~~
"Where the hell is this?"
After arriving at the place, Xie Jin almost cursed.
Now he and Li Jinglong have changed into casual clothes, but even in ordinary clothes, they look out of place in this store.
To say it is a shop is to flatter this place, which is just a simple straw shed with a few greasy tables, chairs and benches in the room.
There was a big pot outside, with all kinds of meat tumbling inside, and there was a stinking smell of large intestine in the air.
"Ugh!" Xie Jin felt a little uncomfortable.
Li Jinglong, on the other hand, walked to the pot as if there was no one around and pointed at the pot with the boss, probably talking about the kind of meat he wanted.
"Sit down!" After choosing the meat, Li Jinglong pulled Xie Jin to sit down, "Don't look at this place, it tastes pretty good."
"You've never been to a place like this before, right?" Xie Jin looked at the oil-stained twists on the table and said in a low voice without daring to do anything.
Li Jinglong paused slightly, then smiled and said, "It used to be before, and now it is now. The me before was so damn pretentious." As he said that, he looked around the store, "This store has been around for a long time. When I was a child, I
Dad comes often. There are also King Qianning, Mr. Mao and others!"
"Later, when I grew up, I never came here again!"
Seeing him like this, Xie Jin couldn't say much.
At this time, the boss came up with a plate of cut large intestines and threw it on the table.
"After being out for a few days, I figured it out. Men have to be so rough!" Li Jinglong continued with a smile, "Eat!"
Xie Jin looked at the large intestine full of fat with disgust and grinned, "Well... I've had a bad stomach these days, so I won't eat such greasy food!" As he said that, he continued,
"Lao Li, don't you have something on your mind? Tell me quickly!"
Li Jinglong threw a piece of fat into his mouth, took a few more bites of green onions, and said, "I promise others something!"
"You always keep your promises!" Xie Jin said with a smile, "Why is this so difficult!"
"I felt relaxed when I agreed to this matter. But now it's very difficult to do it!" Li Jinglong said seriously.
"How difficult is it?" Xie Jin asked curiously.
"It's so hard that it will make me bankrupt!" Li Jinglong whispered, biting the fat intestines fiercely.
Now Xie Jin was even more curious and said with a smile, "Who doesn't know how rich your Duke Cao Guo is!" He said with a low smile, "The treasures your old man stole back then were enough for several generations of your family to squander!"
"The key is that I have a small family, and I promised others things, but tens of thousands of people came together!" Li Jinglong sighed.
"What needs tens of thousands of people?" Xie Jin asked in shock.
"I promised my brothers and we won the battle!" Li Jinglong said with a bitter face, "Take them to have fun!"
