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

Chapter 344
"Son of King Xing?"

Gu Dingchen was a little dazed. They forgot that King Xing had a son, and the son's sense of existence was indeed too low.

Gu Dingchen quickly asked someone to call over the person who followed Li Huai to Anlu Prefecture and came back to report.

"After the accident, might King Xing's son make a fuss?"

Gu Dingchen asked that person directly.

"The eldest son of King Xing?"

The visitor seemed to have just realized that King Xing seemed to have an older son.

In fact, this person is very shrewd and neat in his work, and he is also from Yang Ting and their side, who specially accompanied Li Huai to Anlu Prefecture.

How could the examination of King Xing's mansion not consider that King Xing still has a son?

It's just that they had made a general investigation before they went, and asked the officials around Xiang Xiang that the eldest son of King Xing was originally fostered in Xuanmiao Temple, and he was considered a half monk.

After the original eldest son Zhu Houcong died, this elder son was established as the eldest son, but I heard that he spends most of his time in the temple and rarely shows up. The people in Anlu Prefecture and even many officials have never met.

Fortunately, the eldest son is already married, and half a Taoist priest is quite powerful. Not long after the first marriage, the eldest son concubine became pregnant and gave birth to a child. It is said that they are still twins.

Originally, they thought that Prince Xing's Mansion would make a big fuss, and maybe they would get some rewards, but who knew they just set up some banquets internally and settled down.

"Well, after King Xing's accident, everyone panicked. I heard someone say to go to Xuanmiao Temple to find the eldest son. Wasn't the eldest son raised in Xuanmiao Temple? He is just a person who is obsessed with Taoism, what can he do? I see that their family is full of work by the long history Yuan Zonggao and the internal official Zhang Zuo, and the concubine Lu Shi also came out, but she was also crying, just... didn't pay much attention!"

The man thought for a while and replied.

Many children of the Ming clan only know about eating, drinking, playing, alchemy and cultivating Taoism, and Taoism is more prosperous here in Huguang. They are obsessed with such things to a certain extent, no different from fools, so they naturally did not pay attention to the eldest son of King Xing.

If the eldest son was a talent, then King Xing would naturally not make the second son his son.

Yang Tinghe nodded and waved his hand to let the man go out.

"Ge Lao, how do you say this?"

Gu Dingchen looked at Yang Tinghe and asked.

"What can I do? Appease me, what else can I do at this time? You can tell the Ministry of Rites and send me the materials and documents about Xingwang's mansion!"

……

Anlu Prefecture.

The whole city was hung with white sails, and almost everyone was dressed in onyx, shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

The uproar caused by King Xing's death gradually eased as Zhu Houzhao once again sinned against himself.

Yes, the Ming Dynasty Hall once again issued the emperor's edict of guilt to various places, or it can be said to be various vassals.

In the Edict of Guilt, Zhu Houzhao bluntly stated that because of Zhu Chenhao, the vassal king was reviewed in order to ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that some sent officials did not do their job effectively, misinterpreted the meaning of the emperor and the court, and caused harm to the vassal king.

For this, the emperor and the court deeply apologize, and are willing to appease and compensate the vassal princes everywhere.

Of course, the imperial edict greatly praised Xing Wang's mansion, and it even praised Xing Wang extremely, saying that he was loyal to the country, and every time something happened to the court, he would take the lead in donating money and donating money to others.

This time, it was also a routine matter. I didn't want Li Huai, an official of the Ministry of Rites, to act improperly and anger King Xing, causing an irreversible tragedy!

Promise that more people involved in the accident will be punished to comfort Wang Zaitian's spirit!
This is the third imperial edict of Emperor Zhengde!
It is unique for an emperor to punish himself three times!
Doing this one after another is the biggest loss to a person's credit. It's like the story of a wolf coming. If you use it too much, if something happens, no one will help you.

The vassal kings from all over the country were appeased and rewarded, and the commotion gradually stopped.

After all, they do not have military power in their hands. After being raised and abandoned for so many years, people are lazy. When they are incapable to a certain extent, their tolerance will become stronger and stronger, unless their lives are really endangered.

King Xing's Mansion received the most consolation rewards.

It's just that when Prince Xing received the reward, he was dressed in onyx and was stunned. He kept his head down and didn't raise his head to thank him. It was Princess Xing who thanked him instead.

Of course the imperial envoy who came here knew the twists and turns inside, and he was thankful that the family didn't make a fuss, how dare he ask the prince to follow the rules.

Since ancient times, rules are dead and people are alive.

He will not be like Li Huai's [-], blindly showing himself, but not only loses his hat, but also takes the blame and is exiled to the border defense of the desert, maybe he will die of old age there in this life.

The imperial envoy hurriedly completed the process and went directly to the residence arranged by the magistrate.

"Your Excellency has worked hard, come all the way!"

Fang Fang was in charge of entertaining the imperial envoy Li Wenzhong. He was a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang. To be honest, his level was not qualified to be an imperial envoy. He went to Anlu Prefecture to appease and manage the funeral of King Xing.

If King Xing died normally, and he was an imperial envoy to organize the vassal's funeral, it would definitely be a lucrative job!

But how King Xing died, the people of Daming now know what happened.

Only fools are willing to do this as an imperial envoy.

Li Wenzhong didn't want to be such a fool, but he spoke lightly and didn't have a lot of backing. To be able to stand in this position today is due to being careful and socializing everywhere.

When Shangfeng gave him this hard job, he didn't want to offend him. When his wife found out that he got such a job, she cried a lot at home.

After all, because of this kind of errand, Li Huai was exiled to a remote place, which was no different from being sent to prison.

Li Wenzhong's daughter-in-law had contacts with Li Huai's daughter-in-law, both worked in the Ministry of Rites, and they knew each other, and Li Huai's official position was high.

Li Wenzhong is shrewd, usually very good at flattering Li Huai, and also let his daughter-in-law engage in wife diplomacy, make friends with Li Huai's daughter-in-law, and flatter her.

Li Huai is not very flexible in life, but he is a student of Yang Tinghe, and his family is still a family of officials. He is very arrogant. Although he usually takes care of Li Wenzhong, he always has a posture of bossing around and aloof.

Li Wenzhong didn't mind either. He and his wife walked around with Li Huai's family very frequently in the name of both being surnamed Li and being a family many years ago.

After Mrs. Li Wenzhong knew that Li Huai's family was exiled, she was terrified when she saw Mrs. Li, whom she once envied, looking in a mess. She worried that her family would follow in the footsteps of Li Huai's family.

Seeing his daughter-in-law crying miserably, Li Huai was very helpless, so he could only comfort his wife that he would be fine.

Although this errand is not a good one, if he faces the difficulties and can put his name on the boss's side, not to mention his promotion in the future, he doesn't think there will be any problems as long as he keeps a low profile.

Anyway, when he arrived at the local area, he would do what the Xingwang Mansion and the local officials told him to do. If he could not provoke them, he would try not to come forward. He didn't believe that he could still provoke them and make himself a target!
The son of King Xing did not come out to make trouble from the beginning to the end, so he must not be a tough and capable person.

And he works in the Ministry of Rites, so of course he has seen the situation of Xingwang's family, and he also heard from his colleagues about Xingwang's mansion.

The eldest son of King Xing is not so clear-headed, otherwise he wouldn't have been in Xuanmiao Temple for so long and let the second son Zhu Houcong be the son for such a long time.

They also discussed in private that King Xing has epilepsy, which is rumored to be a fool's disease!
Dad has this disease, and it's normal for his son to be half-stupid!
"Lord Fang, you also know me. I'm new here. This is your territory. You have to give me a trick about Xingwangfu!"

As soon as Fang Xiang sat down, Li Wenzhong pulled him back.
