I am the king of the dead

Page 259

Sun Jizong's guess was correct, the great emperor did want to attack his relatives, but if he did not rebel, Zhu Qiyu would not kill people indiscriminately.

The ministers whispered to each other, Cai Yuji stood up and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the honor of being a long-term foreigner is the honor of being a minister."

"Your Majesty sleeps long and hard at night, seeks to govern but is diligent, and the virtuous and empress' mutual success should be praised and admired. At this point, Qi Wanzhou's relatives are not allowed to make teeth with Han Ma Yuxun, for fear of hurting Qi Wanzhou's relatives' hearts."

Cai Yuji's words were actually the reason why Qi Wanzhou and his relatives were given titles.

The emperor is busy with state affairs and strives to govern and revitalize the country. Of course, the harem must be assisted by a good empress.

It was for this reason that Emperor Renzong ennobled Empress Zhang's family.

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and wanted to speak, but saw Hu Min eager to try.

"Does Hu Shangshu have something to say?" Zhu Qiyu laughed, of course he could use the emperor's family affairs, and the outer court should not worry about prevarication, but it will be prevarication after all.

It seems that the Ministry of Rites is going to play a role again.

Hu Wei stood up, bowed his head and said: ""History" says: What is said is public, what is said is public. What is said is private, the king will not be private. The minister is overbearing."

This is an allusion when Emperor Wen of Han entered the palace, that is, the emperor has no selfish affairs.

This talk about the harem of foreign relatives is naturally talking about the emperor's family affairs, so it is natural to plead guilty first.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "But it's okay to say."

Hu Yan asked with a smile: "Cai Yushi, dare to ask, do you know the old affairs of Liang Guogong?"

Cai Yuji frowned and asked: "But... Liang Guogong Zhao Desheng?"

Zhao Desheng was a mighty general under Emperor Taizu Gao. He died in the hands of Chen Youliang's soldiers and died of being shot by several arrows.

Hu Yan said with a muffled laugh: "Of course not, I'm talking about Liang Guogong Hu Xian, Cai Yushi, do you know who Hu Xian is?"

Cai Yuji shook his head, this Daming has never granted Liang Guogong, there is only one posthumous gift!

Hu Wei looked left and right for a long time and said, "Don't you all know who Hu Xian is?"

The officials frowned, only Liu Ji stood up and asked in a low voice: "Hu Shangshu is talking about the father of Concubine Hu Chong, the mother of Zhu Zhen, king of Chu, Hu Xian?"

Hu Wei's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Exactly."

"Your Majesty, Uncle Pengcheng and Uncle Hui'an are not the first relatives to be enfeoffed by foreign relatives. In July of the 22nd year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao of Taizu granted Hu Xian, the father of Concubine Hu Chong, the Duke of Liang. They were the first exceptions to Enfeng, and they were also dukes."

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback for a moment, the conferment of his relatives was actually initiated by Taizu?What else?

Cai Yuji frowned and said, "I've never heard of Hu Xian's canonization."

Hu Wei said very calmly: "It's right if you haven't heard of it."

If the courtiers have heard of it, why do you want him, Hu Wei, the Minister of Rites?

Cai Yuji said dissatisfiedly: "But Hu Shangshu! Even if there was one, it would have been reformed long ago. What does it have to do with our discussion today?"

Hu Wei turned around and said, "It's a big deal."

"In the 21st year of Hongwu, Lanyu, the Duke of Liang, fought in Yuerhai to determine the north. In the 22nd year of Hongwu, he returned triumphantly, and was granted the title of Duke according to merit. Emperor Gao wanted to give Lanyu the title of Duke of Liang."

"Hu Xian and Lan Yu will fight for the Duke of Liang."

"At that time, Lan Yu had an affair with Concubine Yuan, and Concubine Yuan committed suicide in shame and anger, so she changed Liang Guogong to Liang Guogong, and rewarded Lan Yu. Liang Guogong rewarded her relative Hu Xian."

Cai Yuji frowned and said, "Then what? I still don't understand what this has to do with today's discussion."

The old god Hu Wei said: "During the Jianwen period, Hu Xianliang Guogong was deposed, and there are countless martial arts who were deposed together. Even princes and county kings were dismissed at will, let alone martial arts."

"Emperor Taizong Wen returned to his post after Jing Nan, but only Hu Xian's Liang Guogong was left out."

"Emperor Taizong said: Qi Wanzhou's relatives have not made an inch of merit, so how can they have done a lot of hard work?"

"Your Majesty dismissing his relatives and lords today is the will of Emperor Taizong Wen, and it is also the law of the ancestors."

Cai Yuji looked at Hu Wei dully, stretched out his hand, tapped it a few times and said: "Hu Shangshu, I have never seen this kind of thing in Taizu Taizong's "Records", and I haven't seen history books, you, don't talk nonsense. "

Hu Yi glanced at Cai Yuji and said, "Oh, is Cai Yushi questioning that Hu is making up things?"

Cai Yuji thought about it for a long time. He had indeed read the real record of Taizu Taizong, and it was indeed not recorded.

He said puzzledly: "It's not that someone questioned Duke Ming. Why was such a major event never recorded in the record? How did Hu Shangshu know about it?"

Hu Wei sighed and said, "I know this because I experienced it firsthand, so I know it. I also did the writing."

Hu Yi took out several things and handed them to the eunuch standing under the imperial court, the eunuch handed them to Xing'an, and Xing'an handed them to the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu looked at it for a long time and said, "It's really hard for Hu Shangshu."

Zhu Qiyu passed these things to Xing'an and passed them on.

After reading it, the officials were all dumbfounded.

The conferring of foreign relatives was actually a precedent set by Taizu, and Emperor Taizong Wen forbade it.

During the Yongle period, most concubines came from families of honored ministers, so naturally there was no such thing as conferring titles on relatives.

But Emperor Renzong wanted to confer the title of Pengcheng Bo Zhang Chang, so Hu Wei had to write "Records".

After Hu Yi finished speaking, he looked at His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, what I said about this matter is not just about foreign relatives conferring titles."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "I know Hu Shangshu's deep meaning, and I accept his advice. Hu Shangshu is indeed the Minister of State."

The ministers are baffled, isn't this just talking about foreign relatives?This has been washed, and there are still things they can't taste?Actually there is another deep meaning?

Hu Yan was indeed talking about relatives, but not only relatives.

Yu Qian, Shi Heng, and the six ministers were all thoughtful, while the rest of the courtiers were at a loss.

There is something in Hu Shangshu's words, what does it mean?

Chapter 321

What Hu Wei is talking about, he is indeed talking about Enfeng, a foreign relative, is the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, in July of the 22nd year of Hongwu, Hu Xian and Lan Yu competed for the Duke of Liang.

But in fact, it is about Ming's Xingwen and Wu.

Why was it that the Prince's Mansion was shattered in the battle of Jingnan, and Yan Mansion actually completed the history of a vassal king's rebellion and taking over the capital?

During the Battle of Jingnan, how many Wu Xun of the Jianwen Dynasty did not work hard on the front line?

Of course, there are also those who work hard, such as Li Jinglong, the first-generation transportation captain, but the more serious this guy is, the greater the advantage of the Yan Mansion.

During the founding of the Wen Dynasty, the prosperity of Wen and Wu was especially stronger than that of the Zhengtong period.

In the early years of Yongle, large-scale return of titles and reinstatements was a restrained trend of promoting literature and martial arts.

During the reign of Xuande, this demonic wind blew up again, which eventually led to a catastrophe.

What kind of wind power is advocating this evil spirit?

Xingwen and Zhenwu are not contradictory. On this point, both Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong have proved this point.

Because of the prosperity of Wen and Wu in the Jianwen Dynasty, Emperor Jianwen listened to what Fang Xiaoru, Huang Guan and others said, and made himself a joke.

What Hu Yi was talking about was indeed about the conferment of foreign relatives, and he was also talking about the expansion of the lord at the beginning of the prosperity of Wen and Wu.

How did this demonic force come about?

Hu Wei is a Jinshi of the Jianwen Dynasty. He knows it too well. The translation is to be wary of the loyal and righteous people of Yuan Confucianism.

Zhu Qiyu understands, Yu Qian understands, Shi Heng doesn't quite understand, but he doesn't bother to think about this kind of messy thing, His Majesty just needs to think about it.

The six ministers were by the emperor's side all day long, and they knew what Hu Min's remonstrance was, but the others didn't understand.

Going high and high, clouds and fog, all flying in the sky.

After the Minister of the Ministry of Rites has now washed the land, he actually started admonishing him, and was praised by His Majesty for his good words.

The point is that the officials didn't know what they were admonishing.

Hu Wei looked at the confused faces of the officials, and shook his head helplessly. These people still need to learn more, and the posture is up.

Hu Wei continued: "Your Majesty, Li Xian, Marquis of Fengcheng, who is guarding Nanjing, is ill, and I have doubts."

As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, washing the land and advising are all extra work, and he still has essential work to do.

Zhu Qiyu's face flashed with anger, and he said in a low voice: "How courageous! I admire you!"

Li Xian, Marquis of Fengcheng, was not Li Xian, the censor who patrolled the salt industry who had escaped from the Tumu Fortress by chance, and then went south to inspect the smuggling of salt and salt, but the son of Li Bin, Marquis of Fengcheng.

Li Bin is an old honor in the Hongwu period. He has many military exploits, and he must take the lead in every battle. Since the 28th year of Hongwu, he has led the 17 guards of Beiping Dusi and Yanshanzuo. All to Yan Mansion.

During the Southern Expedition and the Northern War with Emperor Taizong Wen, Li Bin made many military exploits.

In the 15th year of Yongle, Li Bin was sent to Jiaozhi by Zhu Di. No one in the third branch of Jiaozhi dared to rebel, Li Li was the tyrant, and he was not Li Bin's opponent at all.

But after Li Bin's death, his successors, Anyuan Hou Liusheng and Chengshan Hou Wangtong, lost the Third Division of Jiaozhi.

The marquis lost the battle, what is the crime?

Wang Tong was actually pardoned during the Zhengtong period, and Sun Zhong gave him more than ten hectares of land to support him. Thinking about it with his toes, he also knew that there must be some problems.

Is Wang Tong's abandoned land invincible, or did he do it on purpose?

As the son of Fengcheng Marquis Li Bin, Li Xian also has military exploits. The Yongning City that bombarded Nurhachi was built by Li Xian.

Li Xian, Marquis of Fengcheng, served as a garrison in Nanjing, and was in charge of all guards in Nanjing, as well as Nanjing's left-behind and defensive affairs.

In the second year of Jingtai, Li Xian couldn't bear it anymore. He reported and exposed Zhao Hui, the captain-in-law, and Xue Yue, the eunuch in charge of Nanjing. Together with Huang Fu, the Shangshu of Nanjing's household department, they sold the mountain farm of Zhongshan Xiaoling.

After all, Li Xian was a pretty good minister, it was too weird to die at this time.

Sun Jizong was a very ambitious person, and he was not aimless. He dared to go to Yingtianfu Nanjing Liudu to commit rebellion, and he did a lot of things.

Sun Jizong's joint rebellion looked decent, and it was indeed not as stupid as King Guangtong and King Yangzong, who made it known to the world and changed the year name.

Instead, there is a plan, a step by step, step by step to carry out his own rebellion plan, conspiracy and tricks, or continue to do it.

"What Hu Shangshu means is, was he killed?" Zhu Qiyu asked directly.

Hu Wei said helplessly: "That's true. The wife and children of Marquis Li Xian of Fengcheng are already on their way to the capital. Just ask when the time comes."

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, nodded and said: "Marquis of Fengcheng, Li Xian's wife and children came to Beijing, so that they can inherit the position of Marquis of Fengcheng and be supported by the court."

Hu Yichang breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head and said, "The minister leads the order."

His Majesty really understood his advice, and he was afraid that His Majesty's opinion on foreign relatives would expand to Wu Xun's opinion, and finally offend all Wu Xun in the world.

At that time, Wu Xun will not work hard, so how can he suppress the rebellion?

It is absolutely unacceptable to crack down on expansion.

The word twice is extremely vigilant.

Zhu Qiyu was very angry, but he was not overjoyed, and said with a sneer: "You dare to attack me at this time, and you will attack me tomorrow? How dare you!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were stunned, and hurriedly bowed their heads and said: "The ministers are terrified."

Where is His Majesty scolding Huichangbo's mansion, he even scolded them together, and the scolding was extremely ugly.

Hu Yi bowed his head again and said, "I would like to deprive you of the nobles of Uncle Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, Chief Military Officer of Guizhou, Liu Pu, Marquis of Anyuan, Chief Military Officer of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Lord Liang Ping, Boding Bo, Chief Military Officer of Huguang."

Among these three people, Wang Ji's Bo Jing'an came from Luchuan after three expeditions, Liu Pu was Enyin's father, and Liang Ping was also Enyin, but Liang Ping had military exploits.

Liang Ping followed Ningyang Hou Chenmao to Fujian to quell the rebellion, and then transferred to Huguang as the general officer of Huguang because of the rebellion of King Guangtong. This is the most capable of fighting among the rebel forces.

Why did King Xiang escape?

Although Zhu Zhanqian stays at home, he is not deaf to what is going on outside the window. Liang Ping is good at fighting. When he saw his two hundred iron book army, he just slipped away.

Zhu Qiyu said with some doubts: "I understand that Wang Ji has been benevolent and punished the king for a long time, and I also know that Liu Pu is resentful towards the court. Why is Liang Ping? Is he resenting my unfair reward?"

Liu Pu and Zhu Qiyu didn't trust her, not only because of the empress dowager's relatives, Huichang uncle's mansion and Liu Pu's collusion, Sun Zhong repeatedly proposed to let Liu Liupu go to the capital camp.

The generals of the Beijing camp were all promoted by Zhu Qiyu's kindness, this is his balls!

Moreover, Liu Pu's title was wrong. To be precise, Liu Pu's father, Liu Sheng, died in defeat, just like Qiu Fu, Duke of Qi.

At that time, when Liu Pu inherited the title, there was a lot of criticism in the court. How could such a defeated minister inherit the title?

But in the end Liu Pu still inherited the title, and the other Chengshan Hou Wang Tong, who was defeated and abandoned, was deprived of his title.

However, Liu Pu still inherited the title after several operations.

Liu Pu has resentment towards the court, which is understandable, but it cannot be forgiven.

But Baoding Bo Liang Pang, but a meritorious minister in the Jingtai Dynasty, Liang Pang was something that Zhu Qiyu didn't want to understand.

The Great Emperor couldn't help asking himself, did I force him to rebel?
