Chapter 0160 Protect Daming? Then we Zhu Yuanzhang are more qualified to be buried in this lonely military tomb!
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden inquiry, Zhu Li was also stunned.
He didn't expect that the old man would suddenly ask the question of the lonely army.
But thinking about it, since the old man has the ability to predict the future, it is not surprising to know the existence of the Silent Military Curtain!
"That's right, the sons and daughters did build a tomb of the lonely army in Dingjun Mountain, and there are many heroic spirits left behind after the death of the Hanzhong army generals, thus forming the lonely army!"
"However, the purpose of the sons and daughters in creating this lonely army is to be able to protect the national fortunes of Daming in the future when Daming is in danger!"
Zhu Li did not mean to hide it, and directly said the meaning of the existence of the lonely army.
"Shelter Daming National Fortune? Aren't we more qualified to be buried in this lonely military tomb? "
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he asked meaningfully.
Zhu Li was instantly speechless when he heard this.
This old man really wants to play out and come out!
Ying Tianfu's filial piety mausoleum has long been under construction, and it is almost completed, and the Ming filial piety mausoleum is where the old man will be buried in the future!
If the old man really had the idea to bury in the Silent Military Tomb, Zhu Li would not object, and with the old man's dragon luck, it would inevitably greatly increase the strength of the entire Silent Military Tomb, but wouldn't the filial piety tomb be useless?
Can the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu agree?
"Father, didn't you already build the mausoleum yourself?"
Zhu Li asked with a wry smile.
"Aren't we without a better option? Besides, we have all decided to turn into an emperor's soul after death, continue to guard our Daming Jiangshan, and be buried alone in the filial piety mausoleum? Wouldn't it be better to have so many soldiers in your lonely military tomb in the future? "
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled disapprovingly.
"As long as the father and the emperor can convince others, the sons and daughters naturally have no opinion!"
When Zhu Li heard this, he could only smile bitterly and nodded.
On this issue, he really has no position against it, he can only rely on the nature of the old man!
"It's so decided, now that the Western Regions have been pacified, it's time for us to return to the dynasty!"
"Go back to Hanzhong early, notify your eldest brother when the time comes, and come to Hanzhong Mansion to celebrate the New Year together!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.
Where he wants to be buried after Zhu Yuanzhang dies, he can decide for himself, and it is not the turn of others to dictate!
As for the fact that the filial piety mausoleum has not yet been completed, then it will be temporarily stopped, and how big is it to let Lao Jiu directly build an imperial tomb for himself in Dingjun Mountain?
With Lao Jiu's financial resources, is it difficult to do it?
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, this problem is not a problem at all, he will not let a group of courtiers chirp to spoil his good deeds!
On the fifth day of contributing to Alimari, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li's class returned to the dynasty!
According to the old line of 953, I stayed in Luntai City for a day, but did not return to Hamiwei, and went straight south to Hanzhong Mansion!
On November 15, the 26th year of Daming Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li led the Hanzhong army back to Hanzhong Mansion, and the news that the Eastern Chagatai was destroyed and the Western Regions were completely recovered by Daming had already been transmitted back to Hanzhong and also passed towards Yingtianfu!
The first thing to do when he returned to Hanzhong Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang was to draw up a reward list for all the meritorious soldiers of this western expedition!
He Zhu Yuanzhang is the boss of this battle this time, and all the rewards are naturally handled by him!
Not surprisingly, Geng Qing, Qin Wu, Yang He, and Zhou Tong were naturally on the list of rewards!
Even if Yang He has been stationed in Hamiwei, but he is responsible for the work of logistics supply, this credit, Zhu Yuanzhang also counted for him!
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to cultivate Lao Jiu's own team of martial generals, and naturally he was not stingy about rewarding the generals under him!
Of course, Lan Yu and the others who accompanied the Hanzhong army also had a reward ×
After drawing up the list of this reward in the study, Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Li directly.
"Lao Jiu, this is the reward we have prepared, do you see if you need to add it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang directly handed the reward list he had just written directly to Zhu Li.
Zhu Li was also not polite, took a look at it, and once again showed surprise!
Because this time, Zhu Yuanzhang not only gave rewards to the generals of the Hanzhong army, but also gave Geng Qing, Qin Wu, Yang He, and Zhou Tong all four knighthoods!
This time's reward is even greater than the previous attack on Hami Kingdom!
"Hanzhong Qianhu Geng Qing, add General Guangwei, seal the city and Gu County!"
"Qin Wu of the Thousand Households of Hanzhong, the first general of Zhenguo, Feng Yangbo!"
"Hanzhong Qianhu Yang He, add General Anyuan, and seal the county uncle!"
"Hanzhong Hundred Households Zhou Tong, first appointed general of Wude, Feng Ningqiang County Bo!"
Not to mention those who have not been knighted, just these four counts in the front of the row are enough to make people's eyes red!
Of course, the merit of recovering the Western Regions is enough for these four people to get knighthoods!
Although it is not as good as any marquis, duke, but if you make meritorious contributions in the future, not only will the military rank be promoted, but this title also has a lot of room for improvement!
If this rhythm continues, Zhu Li estimates that when he really ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, then at least two or three dukes will be obtained among these four people!
Whether it is a county duke or a national duke, it is estimated that they will not be able to escape!
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao also immediately understood the old man's good intentions!
This is the beginning of the unavoidable beginning, paving the way for these generals under his command!
"Father Emperor, the sons and daughters have no opinion on this, that is, four titles in a row, I am afraid that someone on the side of the imperial court will be dissatisfied!"
Zhu Li pondered for a moment and reminded Zhu Yuanzhang.
Daming really has no precedent for knighting generals under the lord of the clan, and under normal circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang will only knighted his own henchman generals!
"Hmph, they're just red-eyed!"
"What about dissatisfaction? Have the ability to let them go and beat us down the Western Regions!" Do they have that ability? "
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he snorted coldly in disapproval.
When Zhu Li heard this, he cried and laughed again.
He felt that what the old man did now became casual!
In the past, like this, the old man probably had to take into account the reactions and attitudes of civil and military officials, but now he has nothing to worry about!
"You don't have to worry about it either!"
"The matter of the reward is so decided, we are just about to send a letter to Biao'er, and send it back together with the will of this reward!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and then directly called Jiang over and asked him to send someone to send this reward to Tianfu along with his letter to Zhu Biao.
It is already winter, and this winter, the northern border pass of Daming is more peaceful than in previous years!
The news of the collapse of Eastern Chagatai has long shocked many surrounding countries and forces, especially the Vara and Tatars, which may go south to fight the grass valley every winter.
This shows the influence and deterrence brought by the Hanzhong Army's western expedition!
On the fifth day that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li returned to Hanzhong Mansion, the news of the great victory of the Western Regions had also spread back to the imperial court center of Yingtianfu!
For a time, the government and the wild were in an uproar!
No one expected that Zhu Yuanzhang's royal conquest this time, relying solely on the Hanzhong army of Han King Zhu Li, took about two months to directly destroy the Eastern Chagatai, and also took back the Western Regions!
When Zhu Biao saw the news sent back by Zhu Yuanzhang, he was also full of excitement that the Western Regions had indeed recovered!
Lao Jiu really didn't disappoint his father!
Moreover, in just two months, he took the entire Western Regions, which was something that he couldn't think of before!
On the day of the imperial meeting, Zhu Biao read out the victory report of the Western Regions, and the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu also had different looks!
Some rejoice, others worry!
Those Confucian courtiers who were originally not used to seeing the Han King Zhu Li, the expression on their faces was no different from eating!
The happiest thing is Hube Shangshu Zhang Zhen!
The stronger Han King Zhu Li is now, the more favorable it is to believe in him!
He was now labeled as King Zhu Li of Han, and after returning from Hanzhong Mansion, he clearly felt that these ministers in the former court had all begun to alienate themselves!
But even so, Zhang Zhen didn't take it too seriously!
Because he is Shangshu of Hube, the great housekeeper of Daming who is in charge of money!
What if the other ministries are unhappy with him?
Don't deal with Hubu in the future, is it possible?
What is the matter when you look back, don't you still have to beg yourself?
At this moment, in Zhang Yu's opinion, these officials are completely a bunch of fools, and they can't even see the current situation!
Now that His Majesty the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and Huaixi Xungui are almost on the side of King Zhu Li of Han, a fool will have to find trouble with King Han!
But even if this group of Confucian courtiers in the dynasty are not used to Han King Zhu Li, they are helpless at this moment!
The person who drove the imperial conquest was Zhu Yuanzhang, and the emperor personally commanded the Western Expedition, who dared to deny this merit?
Who can deny the merits of King Zhu Li of Han in this battle?
That was personally proved by Emperor Laozi!
Therefore, after Zhu Biao read the victory report of the Western Regions, even if it was difficult for these Confucian ministers to accept, they had to remain silent, and no one dared to fart more!
You must know that today's crown prince Zhu Biao is as if he took the wrong medicine, and he is defending the King of Han everywhere!
When he had just returned from Hanzhong Mansion, this prince had already deposed many courtiers and personally sent them to Jinyi Weizhao Prison!
Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that the prince is benevolent after all, and it is these officials who are not engaged in the same set as the old man, otherwise it will inevitably be a big prison again!
"Where is Shangshu Zhan Hui?"
Zhu Biao slowly asked while observing the reaction of the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu at this time.
"The minister is here, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to order!"
Zhan Hui was stunned when he heard this, and hurried out of the class to respectfully reply.
"Lord Zhan, this is the father's reward for the meritorious ministers of this western expedition, you will go through it first!"
Zhu Biao said, and sent the reward list drawn up by Zhu Yuanzhang directly to Zhan Hui.
Zhan Hui is not only an official Shangshu, but also a princely taibao, a proper princeling, and his friendship with Lan Yu and others in private is not subtle, and he is also one of the few people in the civil official group who can talk with Huaixi Xungui in private!
After Zhu Biao returned from Hanzhong Mansion, he clearly told Zhan Hui that the future throne would inevitably be given to Zhu Li, the king of Han, and he explained part of the reason to him!
Zhan Hui's shock at that time could be imagined, at least he didn't expect that such words would actually come out of the mouth of the prince!
But after the shock, Zhan Hui understood!
He seemed to be able to understand why Hube Shangshu Zhang Zhen would directly fall to the camp of King Han!
With the support of the emperor and the prince in front of him, it is only a matter of time before the Han King Zhu Li controls the entire dynasty!
Zhang Zhen's luck is really not ordinarily good, among the six Shang Shu, he is the first to fall to the King of Han, I heard that he also helped the King of Han in Hanzhong to do a lot of things, and when the King of Han ascends the throne in the future, it will inevitably be reused!
Zhan Hui couldn't help but be shocked at that time, and under the persuasion of Zhu Biao's bitter mouth, he also naturally boarded the big ship of Han King Zhu Li!
Although he had not yet shown his attitude in the court, he was already on Zhu Li's side at the moment!
After hearing that Zhan Hui reported the list of rewards drafted by Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone was in an uproar again!
The other rewards are easy to say, but the old man actually directly knighted the four generals in Hanzhong in one breath, and this signal was released too obviously!
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, how can there be any reason to knighted the subordinate officials of the clan?
Even if it's just a count, it's not as expensive as a marquis, and the duke is golden, but this precedent is still worth it?
Doesn't this tell everyone from the side that his future identity and achievements of Han King Zhu Li are definitely not just a clan king?
At this moment, the Confucian ministers who had been panicked were even more unable to sit still!
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Shangshu Zhan Hui of the Ministry of Justice actually did not raise any objection to such a reward!
"Your Royal Highness, this reward is absolutely impossible!"
"Daming has no precedent for knighting a subordinate official of the clan!"
Shang Shuru of the military department was the first to sit still, and hurriedly left the class to raise an objection!
It is no wonder that Ru Chang reacted so much, because Ru Chang himself is the staunchest supporter of Confucianism, and at the same time, he is also the companion of Prince Zhu Biao, and he is also a proper princeling!
He thought that with the relationship between himself and Zhu Biao, if he raised an objection, Zhu Biao would definitely consider it!
And the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to let him be this soldier Shangshu is also because Ru Chang originally did not deal with Lan Yu's gang of Huaixi Xungui, which can let the soldiers play a role in restraining these trials!
If a department like the military department gets too close to the military general Xungui, it will be a big problem!
"Daming does not have such a precedent, but it does not mean that there cannot be ah, isn't there now?"
"With the merits of Geng Qing, Qin Wu, Yang He, and Zhou Tong in this Western Expedition, even if they are knighted! After all, they all opened up the territory for Daming and took back the Western Regions! "
Zhu Biao replied unhurriedly at this time.
Upon hearing this, Ru Chang was immediately dumbfounded!
He never expected that Zhu Biao would be so confused on this issue×
That's right, in his opinion, Zhu Biao is absolutely confused!
The old man is confused, why is the prince Zhu Biao the same, what kind of soul soup did Han King Zhu Li pour into this father and son?
"Okay, that's it!"
"After the records of the officials and the military department, the reward can be issued!"
Zhu Biao did not give Ru Chang a chance to persuade again, and directly ordered immediately for a while, and Chang Ru's face was even more difficult to see the extreme!
The civil and military officials in the court looked at each other, and no one expected such a result!
But then again, with the merits of Geng Qing and the four of them, knighthood is indeed not a thing that is too out of the ordinary, although there is no precedent for the lord of the clan, it does not mean that the subordinate official of the clan cannot be knighted!
Finally, after the meeting, Zhu Biao's side had just walked out of the Fengtian Temple, and Ru Chang hurriedly stopped the person!
Needless to say, this guy must have come to persuade Zhu Biao to give up the knighthood reward for Qin Wu and the others!
"Ru Qing's family, you don't need to say this to us, we are the same as the father and the emperor, and we feel that merit naturally needs to be rewarded!" If even such a merit as recovering the Western Regions was not enough to be knighted, wouldn't it make the soldiers of Daming chill? "
"Civil officials still have political achievements to be promoted, but military generals only have the way to fight on the battlefield!"
"If you stand up against it at this time, don't you want to go to the opposite side of all the martial generals?"
Zhu Biao warned Ru Chang with a straight face.
When Ru often heard this, his face was even more difficult to see the extreme.
He didn't expect Zhu Biao to be so ruthless!
"Don't have other careful thoughts, the position of Shangshu of the military department is not only Ru Qing's family can sit, if you are not willing to do it, naturally some people are willing to climb up!" Please also ask Ru Qing's family not to mistake themselves! "
Zhu Biao admonished Ru Chang a little helplessly, so he directly turned around and walked back to the East Palace!
It turned out that most of the subordinate officials in the East Palace were the most staunch supporters of Confucianism, such as Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and this Ru Chang, etc., which also made Zhu Biao feel bad about this!
Perhaps in the past, Zhu Biao felt that Confucian ideas were necessary to govern the world, but Lao Jiu abruptly broke his ideas!
So much so that he now has a trace of heartfelt disgust for this group of old Confucianists!
