Daming heir

Chapter 476 All forms are imperial power

There is Xiaoling Mausoleum on Zhongshan Mountain.

Empress Xiaoci of the Ming Dynasty is now buried in Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zhongshan, and the construction of Xiaoling Mausoleum is still going on.

The construction of Xiaoling Mausoleum is a long-term and huge project.

As for the core underground palace, it is indescribable. It will not be used until the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Finally, the entire underground palace will be completely closed, and the Xiaoling Mausoleum will continue to be built before it can be considered completely completed.

The meritorious service mausoleum was built in Zhongshan, and the meritorious service and soldiers who died in the army were buried generously.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in Qianqing Palace was taken aback.

Zhu Gaochi turned his head expressionlessly, he was used to Brother Xion's wild thoughts and ideas from time to time.

However, he had to admit that once the meritorious tomb on Zhongshan really started to be built, and the meritorious and fallen soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty were buried on Zhongshan and next to the Xiaoling Tomb, how much influence would it have on the court and the army .

It is an honor to be buried with the emperor's mausoleum after death.

Since the Han Dynasty, all dynasties have been honored to be buried in front of the emperor's mausoleum after death, and they must be obtained by meritorious officials.

Now once the Ming Dynasty's Zhongshan Meritorious Tomb is finalized, how many people in the court can expect to be buried with Zhongshan's Xiaoling Mausoleum after death.

This is a huge political impact.

Zhu Yunxi said softly: "Buried kings have been buried since ancient times, and they are all famous ministers. Before Qin, it was difficult to get to the bottom of it. However, since the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing have been buried with Han Wumao Mausoleum. In Tang Dynasty, clans and heroes were often buried in imperial tombs Li Jing and Li Jici were buried in the Zhaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizong; Zhang Huai, Yide and Shui Tai were buried in the Qianling Mausoleum of Emperor Gaozong."

There have been many imperial tombs in Guanzhong since ancient times, and since the Han Dynasty, the tombs of heroes buried with each other have always been indispensable around the tombs of emperors.

Zhu Yunxi said again: "So I believe that there are only two last wishes of Duke Guo. I hope to enter Yingtian again, and I hope to fight for another 28 years. However, people cannot be resurrected after death, and one of the last wishes will never be fulfilled. I have been in the Ming Dynasty for [-] years. Well, there are countless veterans in the army.

The imperial court is magnanimous, and His Majesty is benevolent and righteous.Although the imperial court has strict laws and regulations in recent years, it has never treated a hero badly.

There is Xiaoling Tomb in Zhongshan. If the meritorious mausoleum is rebuilt, the meritorious officials and soldiers of the court will be buried generously. They will be diligent and loyal to the king's affairs when they are alive, and they will be buried with the emperor's tomb when they die. "

Taisun's reason is very good and to the point.

Tang Xie didn't even think about it. When he came to Beijing to report the funeral, the imperial court seemed to be planning to build a meritorious mausoleum on Zhongshan outside Yingtian City.

If it is really possible, isn't my father the first great Ming meritorious to be buried in the Zhongshan Meritorious Mausoleum?
For the Tang family, this is a great honor.

Tang Xie immediately knelt down again and clenched his fists: "Your Majesty Long En, if my father can be buried in the Zhongshan Meritorious Tomb, it will be a great honor for the family of the Duke of Xin. My father knows it under the spring. I have no regrets in this life. I thank Your Majesty Long En. The Duke's Mansion will definitely carry out my father's last wish in the future, be diligent in the affairs of the king, and be loyal to Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted the handrail, he was not displeased with Taisun's suggestion that Zhong Shan build the meritorious mausoleum, but he was already imagining that one day in the future, after he entered the Xiaoling Mausoleum, the mountain would be full of old friends from the past, and there would be people from the Ming dynasty. Soldiers are buried together.

What happens behind him can be regarded as rare for a king.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways at the boss and said softly, "Prince."

Zhu Biao immediately cupped his hands and turned around: "Father, my son thinks that the meritorious mausoleum is feasible. The court has gone through ups and downs in recent years, and the meritorious officials have reached their sixtieth year. Before they were alive, the court bestowed high officials and generous salaries on them to show their achievements during their lifetime. After death, they should be buried with them. The emperor's mausoleum is a good story about the monarchs and ministers of this dynasty, and it is an example for future generations."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily. This matter is related to his own affairs, and it can only be done well with the approval of the boss now.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and said: "In the past, as Yunxi said, all meritorious officials were buried with them, but only soldiers and soldiers were buried with them. Although Zhongshan is big, our Ming army has millions, and they are all buried in the Zhongshan Meritorious Mausoleum. ?”

These words were obviously addressed to Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Biao glanced sideways at his own cub, and it was obvious that this kid brought up the matter, and he had to solve the old man's worries and doubts.

Zhu Yunxie took a step forward and said softly: "The rules are based on etiquette. Dukes and princes are different. Zhongshan is where the emperor's mausoleum is located. Those above the small flag in the army can be buried with him. Soldiers who died in the battle can choose Fengshui outside Yingtian City. The office was allocated money from the central government, supervised by the Ministry of Rites, and built by the Ministry of Industry, and it is the mausoleum of heroes."

There is more than one mountain outside Yingtian City, Zhongshan Mountain.

Whether it is Jiangjun Mountain and Niushou Mountain in the southwest, or Tangshan Mountain in the southeast, they are all places with excellent Fengshui.

"The tail vein on the southwest side of Tangshan can be the burial place for the lieutenants." Zhu Biao searched for the direction, and said: "Tangshan and Zhongshan are north and south, Zhongshan is Dianjiangtai, Tangshan is It’s a parade ground, and the location should be excellent.”

Zhu Yuanzhang felt more and more relieved, nodded and said: "Let the grandson discuss this matter with the cabinet, make the regulations as soon as possible, and submit them."

If it was usual, Zhu Yunxi would always accept the old man's orders on the spot.But at this moment, he obviously hesitated for a moment, and even glanced at his own father next to the old man indifferently.

Zhu Biao was also a little hesitant. It seemed that if he wanted to do things like this about the ceremony, he had to do it without any mistakes and omissions, and he had to follow the etiquette system everywhere.

Just thinking about it, Zhu Biao smiled slightly: "Since Your Majesty asked you to do it, then do it with all your heart. Now that the court has nothing to do, you should do this thing honestly in Beijing. This is for me The meritorious people of Ming Dynasty must be careful when handling the affairs of the afterlife, so as not to make any mistakes."

Seeing that his father said the same thing, Zhu Yunxi nodded.

He clasped his hands and bowed and said, "My grandson takes orders, and I will never let my grandfather and father share his worries. I will definitely settle this matter with the cabinet, so that the honor of my meritorious minister will not be diminished after death."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and hummed before turning his head to look at Tang Xie in front of him again.

The emperor sighed softly and raised his hand: "Dingchen came to Beijing last year, and I always felt sorry for him, and I don't want to be separated from him now. Dingchen and I are like brothers, and I will do my best in my last wish. Xin Guogong's mansion I know in my heart that Ding Chen has passed away, and you should remember Ding Chen's will, and the imperial court will not treat the hero badly."

Tang Xie was already sobbing, his eyes were red.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace..."

Zhu Yunxi felt a little sentimental, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Fourth Uncle Tang, let's go rest, the emperor's grandfather will issue an order. After the court's decree comes down, Fengyang City will finish the posthumous affairs of Duke Xin. Send ministers there to handle matters related to Duke Xin's burial in Zhongshan's meritorious tomb."

While talking, Zhu Yunxi gave Sun Gou'er a look.

Today Tang Xie braved the rain to enter the palace, and with the death of Duke Xin Guo, under the grief, if he did not take a proper rest, he might be ill.

Sun Gou'er stepped forward lightly, asked Tang Xie for instructions, and brought Tang Xie out of the bedroom.

For the rest, all the sons of the Zhu family were present.

Looking at the empty palace door where Tang Xie's back had long since disappeared, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, feeling a little more lonely on his face.

"I still remember that Ding Chen wrote the letter and sent it to Huangjue Temple, and the news leaked out halfway. It was very difficult at that time. I also know that at that time, all the great achievements of the emperor were far away. Dingchen never thought about it, and neither did I.

We all grew up together when we were young, and Ding Chen only thought at that time, if I could join the group, the brothers would be together and take care of each other, then we would be able to have a full stomach.

Just for a full stomach, not to be bullied. "

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became more and more lonely, and his brows were full of sadness.

Zhu Yunxi wanted to comfort him, but was stopped by the eyes of the prince's father.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"You bastards, how do you know what the world was like back then. Ants can't climb the tree stumps on the road, why? Because all the bark has been stripped off!"

"At that time, the Red Turban Army had food, and the Ding Chen had meritorious service in battle, and became a thousand households in the army. That was a high-ranking official! Your grandpa, the biggest official you ever met at that time was Li Zheng from the village.

I joined the Red Scarf Army, and every battle must be the first, so the commander transferred me to the commander's mansion as an errand.At that time, I gradually had some ideas, and I wanted to drive all the Yuan people out of the Central Plains!

Later, grandpa married your grandma back home.Grandpa also took advantage at that time, and achieved the position of governor within two years, which was even higher than Dingchen. "

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, but there was more sadness in his eyes.

The faces of Zhu Yunxi and the others darkened, and they all knew in their hearts that the old man was thinking about the emperor's grandmother again.

If the old man hadn't been appreciated by Guo Zixing and hadn't married the emperor's grandmother back then, it probably wouldn't have been possible to achieve the position of governor in just two years, then there wouldn't be anything later on, and even more likely there wouldn't be the current Daming.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "You all know what happened in the future. So speaking of it, if there is no letter from Ding Chen, you gangsters, you don't know where you are now!"

Zhu Yunxi bowed and said with a smile: "Grandpa's fate is predestined, and everything is predestined. Lord Xin Guo is at the right time, and now the meritorious mausoleum is about to be built. Grandpa and Mr. Xin Guo have created a good story about the monarch and his ministers. The cause of the day and the fruit of today can be regarded as complete Understand."

Zhu Gaochi opened the mouth and said: "Grandpa suffered a lot when he was young. He has gone through vicissitudes in the world, but he hides his ambitions and cares about the people. Letters and invitations from the Duke of the Kingdom are just like the great ancestors of the Han Dynasty. I, Ming, love the people, and I should sit in the Central Plains."

The praise of the grandchildren slightly reduced the sadness on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Zhu Shangbing, who was the only one who didn't speak, looked left and right, searched his guts, but found that he really couldn't say those words like Brother Xie and Brother Chi.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have noticed the small movements of the second child's family, and couldn't help smiling and looked over, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, thinking about what the second child's child could say.

Being stared at by the old man, Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but tense his back, and his throat moved twice. In the end, he couldn't hold back any good words, so he raised his arms and said, "Grandpa should be the emperor!"

"..."

Everyone in the bedroom was stunned for a moment.

This is the cub of the second family!
Zhu Biao really had some inexplicable love for this nephew, he just felt that it made him quite happy, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Okay! Grandpa should be the emperor's life! He should lead our Ming people to live a good life!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud. He hadn't shed tears when he heard the news of Tang He's passing away, but now he laughed so much that tears came out of the corners of his eyes.

Zhu Shangbing blinked, put down his hand cautiously, and whispered: "I...did I say the wrong thing?"

Bang bang.

Zhu Yunxi patted Xiaohan on the shoulder twice, affirming: "You are right! Grandpa is destined to be the emperor, otherwise there would be no you..."

As he said that, Zhu Yunxi finally couldn't help laughing.

Everyone laughed at the moment.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang coughed lightly and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Ding Chen and I have a brotherhood, so we made a marriage for you with Tang girl at the beginning. Now Ding Chen died in vain, and Tang girl gave birth not long ago. Tell her the news later.

You are in Yingtian, and you have done the affairs of the Mausoleum of Merit, and those old brothers in the court are all in their sixtieth years, how many years can they live?Even me, I dare not say how many years are left.

After this matter is done, don't let the hero have a last wish.Don't wait too long for the soldiers in the army. Since you have decided to do it, do it properly without leaving any mistakes.In the future, I can also let future generations see how brave my ancestors of Ming Dynasty were, and how Daming came to be! "

……

"Why do I feel that you have already thought about the construction of the Mausoleum of Meritorious Merit? Otherwise, it would not be possible to bring it up in front of Grandpa Huang so suddenly today?"

Zhu Gaochi put his hands in his pockets, looked at Zhu Yunxi beside him with a strange expression, and muttered softly.

Zhu Shangbing on the side frowned, still thinking about what made Grandpa Huang laugh like that.

After appeasing the old man, Zhu Yunxi and the three left the Qianqing Palace.

Hearing Xiaopang's words, Zhu Yunxi folded his hands and turned his neck: "It doesn't count. In fact, I originally planned to put this matter on the triumphant return of the Southern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition. Proposed.

They crowned kings, rewarded meritorious officers and soldiers, but what about those soldiers who died?Naturally, the imperial court has pensions and will not treat their children and family members badly, but what about them?
To be buried with Zhong Shan, to be the king's forerunner during his lifetime, and to guard the imperial mausoleum after his death, is an honor rather than a peace of mind for my family. "

Zhu Gaochi pouted.

Brother Xi always chooses to say half of what he talks about now and keep the other half.

Such behavior is very bad.

"You don't believe it?" Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Xiaopang.

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "If I remember correctly, you once said the word form. It is probably... convenient for a grand ceremony, and it is used to inspire people. Now it is the same to build a meritorious mausoleum. It is like returning to the military exploits of the Qin Dynasty Like a prince, you want to make Da Ming's million-strong army to serve Da Ming wholeheartedly, and die without regret!"

Zhu Yunxi took a deep look at Xiaopang, and then sighed softly.

Under Zhu Gaochi's puzzled gaze, Zhu Yunxi shook his head.

"Sometimes, you shouldn't be so smart. If you say something and do it again, it will make people feel bad."

Zhu Gaochi snorted twice: "Then don't go to the Imperial College tomorrow, let Xie Jin go to the Imperial College to give lectures by himself!"

"That won't work!" Zhu Yunxi shook his head immediately: "All forms belong to the imperial power! I have to go!"
