Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 273 Good reputation

Zhang Yu's armor was covered with blood, which was also common to him.

Walking among the dead with a spear in his hand, from time to time, he would make up for the struggling Tartars. This was what he was doing now.

Qiu Fu came over with strides, and slashed to death a pawn lying on the pile of dead people, "Shimei, let's say, these Tartars are getting worse and worse. Let's charge, and they will be defeated." gone."

Zhang Yu, whose name is 'Shimei', laughed and was also amused, "It's not good. The Tartars in the past few years were not good. Now it's even worse. Just look at these people, they are all Half a kid."

"You're still smart, don't do a good Privy Council, and attach it to our Daming." Qiu Fu teased his friend, and said, "Otherwise, you should bring someone over this time, maybe we will put down a row of firecrackers for you." flipped."

Zhang Yu was so angry that he rolled his eyes. He was indeed the Privy Councilor of the Yuan Dynasty. When the Yuan Dynasty was driven back to Mobei, he also fled back to Mobei with Emperor Yuan Shun.Attached to Daming, that is, just 15 years ago, this can be regarded as an out-and-out surrender.

It's just that this period of history is not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had many surrendered generals.In addition to the generals who surrendered from the separatist forces in various places, there are also many who surrendered from the Yuan Dynasty like Zhang Yu.

Qiu Fu lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "We can see that Ying Guogong doesn't intend to make meritorious service. After all, we are not born well, and it is more difficult to make some military achievements. Those brats don't have to worry about it. ran towards them."

Zhang Yu lowered his voice and scolded his friend, "Speak carefully!"

"How should we be cautious?" Qiu Fu became angry, really angry, "Tell me about it yourself, we went out with the army this time, and originally wanted to make some contributions. Ying Guogong just asked us to drive these Tartars away. , Is this the appearance of wanting to make meritorious service? We had several opportunities to defeat the Tartars, and we were all driven to the east. We are a central army after all, and we only have a few military exploits?"

Zhang Yu was silent for a moment, then said angrily, "The other end is the eldest son of King Zhongshan, the uncle of our Daming, the uncle of the crown prince! The one on the west is the uncle of the Holy Majesty, who can our Duke offend?"

That's right, although Ying Guogong Fu Youde is considered by many people to be the number one general in the dynasty, what he said is unreasonable.

Lan Yu's combat exploits are no less than Fu Youde's, and she can be regarded as the uncle of today's world.What's more, among the feats of founding the country of Ming Dynasty, Feng Sheng is not dead yet, even if he is not on the battlefield now, but this person who was on the same level as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Li Wenzhong, etc. When Yu and others were still serving as lieutenants, these people led the army alone.

At this moment, a group of elite cavalry appeared.

The leader was Fu Rang, who sat high on his horse and roared, "Call the general, the striker will go out immediately, and go straight to Huanglong!"

Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu were stunned for a moment, and then they were also a little stunned.Originally, their central army was fighting steadily and slowly, not to mention seeking too many victories, and even voluntarily giving up some military exploits.But now, all of a sudden, he wants to go straight to Huanglong and break through the enemy's king's tent?
This change is really too big, so that they are a little bit overwhelmed.

Suddenly, Zhang Yu realized something, "During this period of time, we drove the Tartars away, and the army gradually went deep. Could it be that the armies of the three routes are winning, and now they are going deep into Mobei, and join forces to force the Tartars to a decisive battle?"

Qiu Fu was also excited, but curious, "If this is the case, our army will exceed [-]. Who will be in command?"

Ying Guogong Fu Youde is naturally qualified to command the army.From the perspective of Zhang Yu and others, of course they hoped that Fu Youde would lead the army, after all they were serving under Fu Youde's account now.

Just think about it, Lan Yu's side can't be ignored. In recent years, General Lan Yulan was first driven to Sichuan to repair the city, and then drove the barbarians from the southwest to the northwest, and then sent troops to Mobei.It seems that he was exiled by the emperor, but no one knows that General Lan Jian is in the heart of the emperor.

The simplest thing is also the envy of countless generals, probably the incense of Sapphire.

Originally, Lan Yu had no son, and her only daughter married the king of Shu and became the princess of Shu.But now, Princess Shu gave birth to her second son a few years ago, and Princess Kaiping took her back immediately. The child's surname was not Zhu, but Lan!
Although Princess Kaiping is Jinshang's grandmother and Lan Yu's sister, this kind of thing is beyond imagination, and it is said that countless civil servants are arguing fiercely.While Wu Xun naturally supports it, they are also worried about the loss of titles caused by 'no descendants'.And Lan Yu can be regarded as being honest now, and she also clamored not to ask for the title of king after death, etc., just to get credit for his grandson.

That is Sapphire, directly shouting out that he will be crowned king after his death, etc. Although this guy seems to be a little more honest, he is still a little annoying in many cases, and his political wisdom fluctuates.Most importantly, it's still a little domineering.

The army is about to set off, which also makes many soldiers feel extremely excited. The opportunity for them to make contributions has come.In the eyes of these people, this is their opportunity, and the soldiers of Ming Dynasty are so confident.

Zhu Yunying actually knew very well that if he could find the Chuanguo Yuxi, it would be a great thing.But if he can't find it, he won't be particularly disappointed.The Ming Dynasty did not need a jade seal to prove anything, the jade seal can only be said to be icing on the cake.

As for these neighbors in the north, Zhu Yunying will never ignore them, he knows the abilities of those people.

All kinds of examples in history are very clear, and the "future" alone can actually prove a lot.

For example, Zhu Di's several Northern Expeditions achieved certain results, but they were not completely destroyed.Furthermore, it was called the Son of Heaven, who was nearly wiped out by the Wala army, and even caused the Ming Dynasty to suddenly change from a military advantage to a defensive position.Including the Sanniangzi trading market in previous history textbooks, these are some proofs.

These neighbors to the north are very capable of recuperating and recuperating. Give them a little breathing space, and they can organize a sturdy cavalry.Harassing and looting are also things they are used to.Once encountering a natural disaster, or realizing that the Central Plains Dynasty is relatively weak, they will ride a war horse and raise a scimitar.

Originally, he still wanted to continue sitting on the dragon chair, but Zhu Yunying suddenly realized something was wrong, and his grandpa took the first step.

The embarrassing Zhu Yunying returned to his previous appearance. Emperor Zhu was sitting on the dragon chair, and he was standing beside him.The Manchu civil and military people are also accustomed to this, it is just a matter of name, and it was like this before.It's just that it was the emperor or the grandson of the emperor before, but the so-called observation of politics, etc., is in name only.

After all, at that time, many things were handed over to the emperor's grandson, and then sent to the emperor for review.

Lao Zhu was sitting on the dragon chair, listening to all kinds of reports, and suddenly saw him, "We have been back to our hometown these days, and looked around. Our Emperor Township is good, and there are many wealthy households nowadays. .”

This is the truth. As an imperial township, there must be clear officials and honest folk customs, and no one dares to mess around there.Maybe a trembling old man might also be the one who peed and played with Emperor Zhu back then.What's more, the local friendship in this era, everyone knows that Emperor Zhu pays great attention to Dixiang.

Even those successors dare not be careless one by one, and they must pay more attention to their hometown.

Old Zhu opened his mouth slowly, and continued, "We met good people before, and only after our parents died can we have a piece of land to bury them. We thought that Qufu was the son of a saint, but it turns out that the son of a saint has done something. What?! Ordinary people have been reduced to their tenants, and the people have no land to grow, so how much land is stolen?"

Kong Na continued to tremble, while Lao Zhu continued, "If there is someone in Qufu, the father, mother, and elder brother are dead and not buried. I don't know if we can give a piece of land to a good person. We think it's a bit difficult, and we will give it to Kong Na." What land can I give to my family? It’s killing people. If you find a temple to be a monk, you’re still alive. If you don’t have our will, wouldn’t you be forced to die?!”

Don't talk about Kong Na this time, the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty knelt down to apologize, including Zhu Yunying also knelt down at this time.

Old Zhu was furious, and continued, "Kong Na, we thought that you were the heirs of Confucius, and we didn't consider it for other people, but for Confucius' sake, and for the sake of scholars all over the world. What a face! Look at what you have done, Kong Sheng is the king of Wenxuan, and so are you!"

Zhu Yunying hurriedly said at this time, "Grandpa, Kong Sheng is the King of Wenxuan, and he was also canonized by the previous dynasty. Now, it is not easy for us to depose. The hall dedicated to Kong Sheng can be enshrined in the standard of a king."

Old Zhu snorted coldly, and then scolded, "The main hall of the Confucian Temple?! We can't refute it because you are the emperor, or we will even demolish the Confucian Temple!"

Kong Na was about to cry, and the specifications of the Confucius Temple were suddenly downgraded.In the past, the entire Confucian temple was of the prince-level specification, but now the main hall dedicated to the saint of Confucius can be of the Confucian temple specification.

Zhu Yunying continued at this time, "Nowadays, the Confucian Temple has many restrictions, and all the super-quality items are sent to the Lu Palace."

Lao Zhu was a little unhappy, and asked, "The title of King Lu is vacant now, which is not appropriate."

Zhu Yunying hurriedly said, "The tenth uncle Hongwu became a vassal in 18 years, but at that time we had great power in the Ming Dynasty."

"Our Hongwu built a palace for him in 13 years, and his palace is enough!" Old Zhu scolded again, and said to Zhu Yunying, "Destroy all the overstepping things in the Confucius Temple!"

Seeing Lao Zhu winking, Zhu Yunying immediately understood.

In fact, it is not necessary to say how magnificent Lu Wang's mansion is now. After all, there were too many palaces in the Ming Dynasty, and Lao Zhu's heirs were all named kings in various places.At that time, the Ming Dynasty was not particularly strong, and many places were resting and recuperating.

Zhu Yunying bestowed some transcendent things from the Confucian Temple to the Prince Lu's mansion, in fact, he rewarded Zhu Zhaohui, the son of the King of Lu.After all, the Confucian Temple has been a palace standard since the Yuan Dynasty, and there are many good things.But Lao Zhu's mind is also very obvious, that is to protect Zhu Zhaohui.

After all, everyone knew that the disaster of the Kong family was likely caused by His Majesty the Emperor.But it was Zhu Zhaohui, the heir of Prince Lu, who started the first shot, and everyone knew this well.Now that Zhu Yunying rewarded Zhu Zhaohui directly, it was too blatant.

Even if Zhu Yunying is the emperor, he still needs to do some superficial things.In this way, if you do a little superficial work, many people will recognize it by pinching their noses.That is the misbehavior of the Kong clan, which has nothing to do with today.

Lao Zhu continued to say at this time, "Many members of the Kong clan have misbehavior, and the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, Honglu Temple, and Dali Temple also need to send people to check. Don't worry about the legacy of Confucius. What the Kong clan did The thing is that Kong Sheng lost face. We went to those scum, and we are also protecting Kong Sheng's face."

Old Zhu has said so, it seems that for the Kong family in Qufu, if not a disaster, it is almost the same.

And here comes the real highlight, Lao Zhu continued, "As usual, we don't need to pay taxes on the land that we give to the worship of Confucius. It's just that the Kong clan has seized the land and paid taxes. All illegal actions will be checked."

Well, this can be regarded as a catastrophe for many members of the Kong clan, and their privileges have completely disappeared at once.After all, if the privilege of not paying taxes is gone, they are almost no different from ordinary landlords.

What's more, it seems that the land that has been plundered over the years will be confiscated by the court, or returned to those farmers.This caused many members of the Kong clan to suddenly lose their foundation for survival.

Zhu Yunying didn't care about the survival of the Kong clan.Because he knew that even if those fields were taken away, the Kong clan would still have a way to survive.And if those peasants are attached to the Kong family, it is hard to say whether they can survive.

Kong Na wants to object, but his own ass is not clean now, and his title of Lord Yan Sheng will be deposed without accident.And the title of Lord Yansheng is very likely to be given to Confucius' real lineage, and has nothing to do with him as a concubine.

Furthermore, look at the Taishanghuang and Jinshang of the Ming Dynasty, which one is not assertive. The Ming Dynasty is now strong and strong.Kong Na dared to do more now, and the next moment, Ming's elite soldiers would surround Qufu.

Kong Na had no doubt that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could do these things, not to mention that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty continued to spread some news among the people and scholars during this period.Now Kong's reputation can be regarded as completely ruined.

It's not that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't treat the descendants of Kong Sheng preferentially, it's simply that the Kong clan didn't care about the legacy of their ancestors, and they ran amok themselves.All of the present is also the fault of Kong himself.

In fact, Zhu Yunying was moved in his heart. He should have done these things by himself.But Lao Zhu came to court without even saying hello, and Lao Zhu came to settle these matters by himself.After all, I just don't want Xiao Zhu to bear some infamy.

Good deed, Xiao Zhu will do it.The bad reputation, Lao Zhu will bear it all!
There is really no way to reason about this matter, who told Lao Zhu to be so protective of the calf!
