Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 456 Choose a consort?
"Master, we... we might as well run away!"

After hearing Qiu Luan's explanation of the situation, Qiu Kui broke out in a cold sweat and said worriedly.

After the new emperor came to power, he killed so many people, half of the ministers in the court were cleaned up by him, and many local officials also changed their blood.

My father almost killed the new emperor back then, how could the new emperor spare him!

"Where are we going to escape? Then... that person will really kill me?"

Qiu Luan murmured somewhat uncertainly.

"Master, this has been going on for so many years, the new emperor didn't think of you, probably because he didn't remember the previous things..."

"You are... do you mean that I sent you to my door to seek death? Am I not clear? Who would have thought that that man would become the emperor, that a dead man in the rebellious army would be the son of Prince Xing, and now he is still doing it?" This emperor of Ming Dynasty, no one will believe this kind of thing anywhere!"

"My lord, I didn't mean that. I meant that although you offended the new emperor back then, you didn't kill him. Even though you offended him, the new emperor didn't see you and didn't think about it. He shouldn't particularly hate you. I have to fix you..."

"Then what do you mean, I don't have to worry about this..."

"No, lord, you think, although the new emperor poured tea with you, he didn't really reminisce about the old days. It seemed that we were joking. I think maybe the old man passed away, and the new emperor should have thought of you. Didn't Peng Shangshu say that the first emperor also mentioned Is it yours? But during your stay in Beijing, the new emperor ignored us, which means that the new emperor... the new emperor didn't take you...we seriously. If you didn't come to the door, this matter might be... "

"In the end, didn't I send you to my door to find a crime for myself? Qiu Kui, don't go around in circles, tell me how to do this, I am in a mess now! I can see that he is arrogant, he is a smiling tiger Well, if I was under his nose, he would definitely punish me, he has a lot of tricks, and people can't tell what's wrong..."

Qiu Luan's mind was confused, and he grabbed his hair in frustration.

"My lord, you still don't understand what I mean. You had a feud with the new emperor, but you didn't really embarrass him after all, but it did make him unhappy at that time! Maybe your majesty won't kill you right away, but the little one is straightforward In Bai's words, it will be difficult for us to stay here in Beijing! Especially under His Majesty's nose, one day he suddenly thinks of you like today, or when he is in a bad mood, it will be difficult for us to guarantee that if we touch him... ..."

Qiu Kui said directly.

Although he is working with the Marquis of Xianning, he is also considered a member of the Qiu clan. Thinking about the means of His Majesty, and the character of this man who is eager for quick success and quick benefits, Qiu Kui is very worried that if Qiu Luan angers His Majesty again, it will really come to an end. A matter that affected several clans, his Qiu Kui's family suffered accordingly!

Thinking of those criminal officials and clans who were assigned in shackles, Qiu Kui's body was covered with cold sweat.

It is very easy to find out about the fact that he followed Qiu Luan and went back to the capital without an application. If the new emperor really wants to annoy himself, his master, just find a reason, they can't afford it!
For the safety of the family, he had to get his master out of the capital together before he could rest assured.

"Then what do you say?"

Qiu Luan had lost his mind when he came out of the palace, his head was in a panic.

"Master, I think we might as well go back to our hometown in Gansu! It's far away from the capital, and it's been a long time. If the new emperor can't see you here, he will forget about it. If he stays in the capital..."

Qiu Kui suggested.

"In what name are we going back to Zhenyuan?"

Qiu Yue is a native of Gansu Zhenyuan. He was originally a mercenary in the Ningxia General Army Mansion. Both his parents died. His uncle, Qiu Li, was in command of Gansu. Qiu Li had no son. As a stepson, he inherited Qiu Li's position.

It is said that after death, leaves should return to their roots, and Qiu Li's tomb was buried in Zhenyuan. But after Qiu Chang died, the Qiu family wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, so they buried Qiu Chang in a manor in the capital, and planned to use it as the Qiu family's family in the future. ancestral grave.

Qiu Luan has been working in Gansu for these years, and he has always regarded himself as a native of the capital.

"Master, it's natural to help the old man's coffin back to Zhenyuan!"

"But the old man has already been buried!"

"Then...then invite a Feng Shui master to say... Anyway, the old man told you in a dream that he wanted to go back to his hometown. For the sake of filial piety, you naturally want to take the old man's coffin back! Master, think about it, at present, you can only do this The safest way, don't forget, now that Ding You is back, you have to stay at home, if you sneak away, you will be caught..."

Qiu Kui analyzed.

"You said that this method is indeed feasible, but Qiu Kui, if we return to Zhenyuan this time, this capital... and the title of Marquis of Xianning..."

Qiu Luan said with some reluctance.

His grandfather Qiu Yue has struggled for such a long time. It can be said that he has fought so hard to get the opportunity in the capital and obtain the title of Marquis of Xianning. Once he returns to Gansu, it is equivalent to returning to the starting point. It will be very difficult to return to the capital!

Qiu Luan's liver hurts just thinking about it!
Originally, his grandfather asked him to go to Gansu for training. In fact, he had grass-roots work experience. When the time comes, he will be able to rise up quickly and gain a firm position in the capital.

But the old man went there soon. He originally wanted to make connections, but in the end he ran into this unlucky thing.

"Master, do you think the new emperor will allow you to inherit the title of Marquis of Xianning?"

Qiu Kui said with some tears and laughter.

This master of their family is also smart when he is smart, and he is really a fool when he is stupid. At this time, he still wants to inherit the title of Marquis of Xianning, which is really fantastic!
……

"Father!"

Qin Shao was looking at the booklet on the table when Wang Yin hurried in.

"what's up?"

Seeing his expression, Qin Shao knew that there should be something wrong, so he put down the notes and listened to his report.

"That Qiu Luan dug Qiu Yue's grave, I suspect that guy wanted to sneak away!"

Wang Yin said in a low voice.

"What did he dig Qiu Yue's grave for?"

Although Qin Shao has spent a lot of time in Daming, he still doesn't have a deep understanding of the funeral culture of this era.

After all, in his previous life, especially urbanites, he had taken funerals very seriously.

The first generation of rural people who moved to the city still have the idea of ​​returning to their roots, but those of the second generation and above have basically faded away. After many parents passed away, they bought a cemetery directly in the cemetery and came to bury them. People's idea of ​​returning to their roots is getting weaker and weaker.

Therefore, I don't understand the practice of suddenly digging out the elderly who have already been buried.

"Master, they are using the saying that the dead want Ye Luo to return to their roots, and they plan to get back to their hometown in Gansu!"

Wang Yin explained.

As a native of Ming Dynasty, Wang Yin is very familiar with this kind of thing, and at the same time feels that this Qiu Luan is really cunning, unexpectedly thinking of such a method.

"Is there such a saying?"

Qin Shao couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, Lord, this man is really cunning. I originally thought that he would stay in the capital, and I could find someone to greet him. Who would have thought that he would do this? He played the role of pure and filial piety, so it's not good for us to keep him. Next, master, do you want to clean him up? If necessary, even if he goes back to his hometown in Gansu, there are people over there..."

Wang Yin said with a serious expression.

Not to mention whether there is no king in the world, even if his father is not the emperor, with the people he met before, they can find a relationship to deal with Qiu Luan in Gansu.

"Forget it, he even pried open the coffin boards of his grandfather and father. It's no fun for such a person to argue with him! Although he wanted my life on purpose back then, he didn't do it anyway. Naturally, I will protect him Let him die, tell Gansu, don’t make it too difficult for him, just let him have work and food, as long as he doesn’t feed his appetite, he can still do something!”

Qin Shao said lightly.

"Yes!"

……

Time flies by like a horse.

Soon the Spring Festival of another year will come.

For Qin Shao, this year was a bit too busy, with court affairs and miscellaneous trivial matters, he was so busy all day long that he never stopped.

Sometimes I think about it, now that I am in this position, I am not as comfortable as I was when I was a farmer a few years ago.

That is to say, in the few days of the Chinese New Year, we can stop and rest.

He couldn't help expressing this idea when he was drinking tea with Zhu Youzhao.

"Xi'er! Chen Li is on the list, and those who can't be stopped. A person who has the ability must take on social responsibilities! Your extraordinary ability is what God may have given you to save my Zhu Dynasty. I know you are tired, but you Look, under your rectification, my current Ming Dynasty has shown great vitality. I heard that the problem of food and clothing in Jiubian has been solved in the past two years, and the production of sweet potatoes in many places is good. I heard that you want to promote what kind of yam Egg, I ate that thing, it tastes really good! You also exempted those places from taxes, and they were active in fighting wars, and the Mongols and Tatars were driven out several times, so they dared not enter the customs, Xier, if this was in the past , I dare not even think about it! It seems that you are indeed right in saying that only by feeding the people can we protect our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youzhu sighed, and by the way criticized his son's idea of ​​wanting to shirk the burden.

"understood!"

Qin Shao sighed, knowing that Zhu Youjian would definitely talk about himself, isn't it just that the capable work harder?

He is equivalent to being framed to this position now, even if he doesn't do it, he can't do it!

Even for himself and his family, he had to lead the Ming Dynasty forward.

"Father, your identity..."

Qin Shao remembered the previous topic and was about to ask again.

"I don't need to mention that matter again, Xi'er. If it was earlier years, I might still have that kind of thought. I have come back from the gate of hell a few times. For me, as long as I can live one more day, I will earn a day." , now that your grandmother is still here, I can still do my filial piety, what's the use of talking about those vain things? I'm thinking about everything now, although I, Zhu Youzhao, consciously deserve this great Ming ancestor!"

"When the imperial court was in trouble, every time I took the lead in donating money and materials, treated the people of the land kindly, and gave birth to such an excellent son, who can make so many contributions to my foundation of the Ming Dynasty, I, Zhu Youzhao, have already had enough in my heart! As for what to do What kind of title of emperor does the Supreme Emperor want, forget about these vain things!"

"Xi'er, I know you are filial, and the current court is under your control. If you make me the Supreme Emperor, you can enshrine me in the temple of the monarch, but I don't want to do that for my father! I don't want to Later generations accused you of inheriting the position, so Xiaozong was extinct. Xiaozong has always been good to us. Even though Wuzong was jealous of us before, it is human nature. He has always been a kind-hearted child. If he is not soft-hearted, he will not As for getting to that point in the end!"

"Xi'er, I've made up my mind. When I get old, I'll be buried in the imperial mausoleum by your grandmother's side and I'll be content! As for the heirs, you're still my son, but you're just responsible for two houses! And My second grandson just assumes the continuation of my King Xing's lineage, as for other false things, don't worry so much, everything is a false name!"

Zhu Youzhu said directly.

Qin Shao didn't expect Zhu Youzhao to think so openly!

If it is not because of his health, if he is not born at the wrong time, maybe he is no worse than anyone else in being the king of the Ming Dynasty, but it is often the arrangement of fate.

Thinking about many things may be illusory stuff.

According to previous history, Zhu Houcong supported his father in that position, but the so-called vacant emperor Zhu Youcong did not live up to his name, it just became a joke discussed in history.

The harder you push for many things, the harder it is to get.

Even if Zhu Youzhan was not promoted to the position of the Supreme Emperor, it would be his honor to be the son of King Xing to become the emperor.

Since Zhu Youzhang can think so openly, Qin Shao also thinks it doesn't matter, it is true that people can enjoy life while they are alive.

Now Zhu Youzhan has no other mental burdens, his son is up to the challenge, and his mother is in good health. His daily life consists of climbing mountains, playing in the water, and fishing, but he is at ease, and his mental state is much better than in previous years.

"Father, don't worry, your son won't do things rashly, just do whatever you feel comfortable with!"

Qin Shao smiled and said that he knew that Zhu Youzhao was worried that he would be reckless and that his reputation would be affected.

For this kind of thing, whoever holds the right to speak naturally has the final say, and history is also artificially written.

It's just that after a few years, there must be a group of idlers studying the history of gossip that they think is interesting based on clues!
"By the way, Xi'er! You are busy these days, so I didn't let anyone notify you to disturb you. Anlu Prefecture sent Yongchun to Beijing. He was living in the manor a few days ago and was with your grandmother. .”

Zhu Youzhu said suddenly.

"Yongchun?"

When Qin Shao heard this name, he searched his memory, and then remembered that in the original Xingwang Mansion, Zhu Youzhu had a daughter who was born to a concubine and was raised in Anlu Prefecture, that is, Princess Yongchun.

Qin Shao can't be blamed for this.

Originally, when he was living in Xingwang Mansion, he was always busy with various things, and in this era, he didn't pay much attention to the children born in the concubine's room.

Because she is a daughter or a concubine, Zhu Youzhu rarely mentions it, and Qin Shao has never met her a few times.

It is said to be a concubine's room, but in fact, it was accidentally born by a maid when she was serving Zhu Youzhao, and she has been with Jiang Shi.

Mrs. Jiang's mind is a bit poisonous. The concubine Ji in the mansion basically has nothing to do except herself, and this maid became pregnant somehow. She didn't say anything at first, but she couldn't hide it until she stayed.

After investigation, it was found that this maid had no other men except Zhu Youzhu, and she was confirmed to be the heir of Princess Xing, so Fang Rang was born.

When she was born as a daughter, Mrs. Jiang would raise her in her own palace. As for the maid, she died of illness later on.

This daughter was later Princess Yongchun.

Yongchun is basically not under much control in Jiang's place, that is, he is alive.

After Jiang's death, Zhu Youzhan's spirit was also not good, and Li Su had always asked his servants to take care of him.

After Zhu Houxi ascended the throne, Yongchun was reported to the Ministry of Rites by Zhang Zuo and others, and he was named a princess.

"Well, I'm not young anymore, and I'm old too, it wasn't Li Su who mentioned it, I almost forgot, since you're in Beijing, let the Ministry of Rites make arrangements for you to find a husband-in-law to start a family! "
