First Prince of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 791

  Chapter 791 Disposition

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Zhu Yuanzhang said, “Things may be strange, but it is true that people always vote under the door of the Marquis of Qichun. Whether it is accepted by Kang Duo or the wife of the Duke of Qi, it is always wrong to shelter the dogs. A person who only seeks profit.”

  Empress Ma wanted to say something when she heard the words, but she still didn’t say it. There is no way for good and bad, but people call on themselves. If their mother and son were not greedy for small profits, how could they be designed by others.

  It would be fine if they were nobles from poor backgrounds, but the Kang family was a powerful local at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and they were appointed by the Yuan court in troubled times, and the officials even served as the comfort envoy of Huaixi and the Marshal of the capital.

  Later, he joined Chen Youliang as a political counselor of Huainan Province. After the battle of Jiqing, he joined Lao Zhu’s command.

After that, Zhang Shicheng was pacified, Shandong was pacified with the army, and he crossed the river to capture Bianliang and Luoyang, and stationed in Shanzhou. The matter is also the right of the prince to lead the government envoy.

  Died of illness last year, the imperial court posthumously presented Kang Maocai as the hero of Huaiyuan, Dr. Guanglu, Huguang, etc., who was in charge of Zhongshu Province Pingzhang and Shangzhu Kingdom.

   Such a family background, accumulated over many months and years, captured in the Southern and Northern Wars, and rewarded with acres of land by the court, not to mention supporting a Marquis Mansion, even if it spends money every day, it will take decades.

   Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes gradually became firmer. The matter has come to this point, and the overall situation cannot be missed for the sake of one family, not to mention that he has long had a grudge against Kang Maocai in his heart.

In the past, the strategy of feigning surrender was too successful. It was just a false move, but inexplicably cut off the opponent’s big dragon and established the victory. Who is Chen Youliang? How can you trust a Kang Maocai who has betrayed himself and joined the enemy for several years?

   He was really deceived by a letter to Jiangdong Bridge, and tens of thousands of elites were damaged, and many large warships were all captured by Zhu Yuanzhang, completely turning from prosperity to decline.

  After thinking about it, there is only one possibility left. Kang Maocai surrendered in the past, most likely because of Chen Youliang’s instigation. He wanted to install an internal agent by his side, but he didn’t expect Kang Maocai to act in a fake show and really turned against him.

  There is no better way to know a father than a son, and no way to know a husband like a wife. Others may not be able to see the subtle changes in Lao Zhu’s expression, but how could it be possible to hide it from the closest family members.

   “Chongba! The orphans and widows left by the important ministers of Xunzhu must take care of them no matter what, and they can’t let the ministers lose their morals because of a moment of anger.”

“As the saying goes, you don’t care about your deeds, and there is no perfect person in this world.” Zhu Biao saw more, because his father had also shared his grudge against Kang Maocai: “Father, the Duke of Qi has passed away, so he will be buried.” The coffin is settled.”

“He has fought many conquests, achieved outstanding feats, and is famous in the world. If he survives, he will be rich and honored, and he will be given a title. If he dies, he will be granted a posthumous posthumous title. Ben and Jiuquan will make his name hang down on bamboo and silk, and his salary will be extended to his descendants. It should not be because nothing happened If you make wild guesses about this matter, otherwise there may be many variables, you should think twice.”

In troubled times, all the heroes competed together, and my father was not considered the most prestigious person at the beginning. In the past, whether it was Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, they were better than him in terms of military strength and horse strength. Think about the way out.

   This is not a rare thing. Since ancient times, when vying for the stag, with a saying that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to do things, how many people can betray their master and go elsewhere with peace of mind.

   Don’t say that outsiders like Kang Maocai, Tang He and others, didn’t have double-mindedness in the past, but some showed it, and some didn’t.

  So if it is really pursued, it is really not a threat to say that the civil and military separation of the Manchu Dynasty.

  After a person occupies the supreme position in the world, it is inevitable that he will be a little unwilling to accept advice, but it also depends on who the admonisher is. Obviously, Emperor Zhu is willing to listen to what his wife and son say.

Reaching out from the memorial on the imperial case, he found the posthumous title proposed by the Ministry of Rites for Kang Maocai. He did not choose from Ning, Yi, Min, Hui, Xiang, Shun, Su, Jing and other beautiful posthumous titles, but wrote a posthumous title in his own handwriting. The characters are then delineated with a cinnabar pen.

   “Kang Duo has an older brother, right?”

  Zhu Biaoying said: “There is a concubine’s eldest son, Kang Jian who is a few years older than Kang Duo. I remember that he used to be the captain of Chengxin in the Beijing Camp, and I met him a few times in the early years.”

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Kang Maocai served as the prince’s right-led mansion envoy, so he naturally led his son to meet Zhu Biao, so he still had some impressions, but in recent years, as Zhu Biao came to the court to listen to the government, some of the status is not enough, so there is no chance to see you again , the impression gradually blurred.

   “Is the father trying to transfer the title to Kang Jian? This may cause disaster.”

  Zhu Biao is not worried about himself. It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son.

When a person is biased, everything is biased. Doting concubines, destroying wives and young children can happen. Since ancient times, the families of emperors and generals, in order to let their favorite son inherit the family business, even caused bloodshed and murder. Not uncommon.

  Zhu Biao also doesn’t want to have to deal with housework every day in the future. Honors are the pillars of a stable court, and the inheritance of titles is orderly. The more stable the better.

“Of course, the alternation of Lords cannot be changed without authorization, but Kang Duo must be punished for his faults. He just thought of the meritorious service of Duke Qi, and couldn’t bear to care for his children and grandchildren. He wanted to take back Kang Duo’s title first, and then reinstated it after he committed crimes and meritorious deeds. During the period Extraordinarily rewarding Duke Qi’s eldest son as General Mingwei’s Guangxi Guard Commander and conferring the title of Lord Cavalry Captain.”

  Zhu Biao nodded slightly. In this world, laws, laws and human relationships must be taken care of. It is also in line with secular morality to hide relatives from each other.

  Empress Ma sighed and stood up: “That’s the only way to go. Fortunately, the title is still there, so let them teach their mother and son a lesson.”

   “The sons and ministers send their mothers off.”

“Um.”

  After sending Empress Ma back, Zhu Biao smiled and said, “What a difficult problem. It should be Hu Weiyong’s handwriting. It’s a good time and a good candidate.”

“It’s only temporarily exempted from the title, which is a little lighter. The censor may have some excuses. After all, he almost killed someone, so let’s add the cane punishment. After the injury is healed, it will be sent to Brother Mu Ying. He will be trained for a few years. After some meritorious deeds, the father will be restored to the title in Jia En.”

“Um.”

  ………

   “I was only in the spring of Bingshen in the past, and you led the people back. I saw you with an open mind, so I released the anger of the former quarrying company and used it as my heart and cared for my flesh and blood.

You can empathize with my intentions and serve as pioneers. It has been more than ten years now. The world has initially been decided. Then I will count your merits and award you a noble to enjoy the blessings of peace. You will give up me and die. What is the feeling in my heart? Ruzai? “

   All the ministers wept and bowed in unison: “The Holy Majesty is merciful, and the spirit of Qi Guogong in heaven should also be inspired!”

  Zhu Biao also silently bowed his head and covered his face with his sleeves, feeling that if his father really wanted to perform, he would be very charismatic, so who can say anything about it.

  Warriors were also very moved, and felt a lot more at ease. Finally, they did not sacrifice their lives for the old Zhu’s family in vain. Not only did they die, but the emperor would also care about the past friendship and achievements, and release his grandchildren to preserve their titles.

This is the real Yinzi, who kowtowed a little harder than usual, Huaixi is even more noble, even Kang Maocai has this dignity, let alone us, don’t care about committing any crimes It must be the same rest with the country.

  However, before the excitement lasted for a long time, the emperor successively dealt with several civil servants and nobles who had not restrained their relatives and disciples. The punishment was much more ruthless than that of Kang Duo.

  The blood in my heart was poured cold again in an instant, the superior is indeed the superior, there are always fewer times of warmth, but it is better not to bump into it.

After the court was over, all the nobles gathered together, their faces were a little weird, and they didn’t know whether they should be happy or unhappy, their mood was very complicated, and they felt a little inexplicably, maybe only when they died, the superiors would think of their goodness, and then hang down Show mercy to your children and grandchildren.

But this good life is not enough, who would die for that bastard, mother, let’s be honest, wait for a while to see, I don’t believe it’s all mixed up like this, and I can’t get money .
