Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 191: Saint? (4k)

"We appreciate the grace of the emperor and the kindness of the prince. But you have to think about me. If the prince really drives the chariot himself, it will be like sitting on pins and needles in the chariot. Besides, there is a difference between the king and the minister. This is also true. It does not comply with the rules of the imperial court." Yang Xian made a serious salute.

"Your Majesty, I beg you as a minister."

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed that he was very satisfied with Yang Xian's performance, and the smile on his face became a little thicker.

This time the smile was much more sincere than the previous one.

What satisfied him the most was Yang Xian's words, "There is a difference between the emperor and his ministers."

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Yang Xian knew how to maintain the distinction of being a minister.

Know how to advance and retreat, know how to measure, and don't be arrogant based on merit.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded secretly in his heart, recalling the conversation between him and Zhu Biao that day.

"All my sons and ministers understand what my father said."

"It's just that Erchen is not that kind of person, and Yang Qing is not that kind of person either."

"What father is worried about will not happen."

Boss, you still have a better vision.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart.

Seeing Yang Xian's insistence, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended not to be reluctant anymore, and said: "Well, if that's the case, then choose a prince to hold the whip and drive the chariot."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around at the accompanying princes, pointed at Zhu Di and said with a smile.

"Let the Fourth Brother come. He will go with you on this expedition and he is your soldier. Let him drive for his commander, and there will be no problem."

Zhu Di was also very cooperative. He took a step forward and gave a military salute.

"I bid Zhu Di, and I am willing to carry the whip and drive the chariot for the commander-in-chief."

Having said that, it would be a bit unsightly to refuse again.

This is also a measure of propriety.

Yang Xian said: "I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, pulled Yang Xian and Zhu Biao into his imperial dragon chariot.

Zhu Di then jumped up easily, got on the carriage, waved his whip and said with a smile: "Drive!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Xian and others rode the dragon chariot and rushed towards the capital.

All civil and military officials followed behind on foot.

"Tang Shuai, why do you look a little depressed?" Li Shanchang looked at Tang He and said
"Mr. Li, did you hear what the emperor just said?" Tang He said. Even though Li Shan had been serving as Prime Minister Zuo for many years, he was still used to using the previous title.

"It is said that Yang Xian made the greatest contribution since the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"What about my third brother? You must know that he was the one who drove the Yuan people out of Yuandadu." Tang He said with some dissatisfaction.

"I don't have anything to do with it. Besides, Yang Xian completely destroyed Beiyuan this time. His contribution is indeed greater than mine." Xu Da heard the conversation between the two and came over to say.

Xu Daben had a good opinion of Yang Xian, and he was also sincerely happy that Yang Xian could achieve such a remarkable feat.

And after seeing the firearms invented by Yang Xian, Xu Da's mentality at this time has undergone subtle changes compared to that a few years ago.

"Second brother, be more open-minded about everything. There are always talented people in the country." Xu Da patted Tang He on the shoulder and said with a hearty smile.

How he sees Yang Xian now, how pleasing he is.

"drive!"

Inside the carriage.

"Yang Xian, how did the fourth son perform in this Northern Expedition?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, a young hero, is very talented and talented in the military. Many beautiful battles in this Northern Expedition were fought by him."

Yang Xian glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said: "If he is not a prince, with a little more experience, he will be more than enough to be a general guarding the border."

Yang Xian said this to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yang Xian knew in his heart that no one in the world could stop Zhu Yuanzhang's decision to divide the princes.

The idea of ​​"family world" among ancient Chinese emperors is not new. They all had it more or less, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who engraved the idea of ​​"family world" in his bones and pushed it to the extreme, can be said to be the No. 1 emperor in ancient and modern times. .

This is related to Zhu Yuanzhang's life experience from childhood to adulthood.

If you deny Zhu Yuanzhang's values, you are denying his previous decades of life.

Yang Xian was extremely certain that whoever touched this thing would die.

Since it cannot be denied.

What Yang Xian can do is to guide and guide this matter in the best direction.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy after listening to Yang Xian's words.

As long as he could prove to the courtiers that his princes had the ability to lead troops in war, the resistance to the implementation of the feudal kings would be much less.

along the way.

The king and his ministers are all happy.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang had already ordered people to prepare a celebration banquet for Yang Xian in Wuying Hall to wash away the dust.

It wasn't until late at night that the show finally ended.

Yang Xian, a foreign minister, made an exception and stayed in the palace, staying in the East Palace of Prince Zhu Biao.

Today was originally the day when Zhu Biao went to bed with his concubine Lu, but because of Yang Xian's arrival, Zhu Biao temporarily changed his mind and came directly to join Yang Xian, preparing to imitate Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and talk all night long.

The content of the chat at the beginning was normal.

They were all related to the Mobei Grassland, but later on, Yang Xian suddenly heard something was wrong.

Zhu Biao actually began to ask carefully about his age and family background.

Yang Xian had no choice but to tell the truth according to the memory in his mind. At the age of 33, he once had a wife who died in a chaotic war, and they never had a new relationship after that.

"I have a sister who is now of marriageable age."

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Yang Xian almost spit out the tea he was drinking to sober up: "Your Highness, please don't hurt me!"

Zhu Biao looked puzzled and said: "Yang Qing, why did I harm you? My sister, Princess Anqing, is as beautiful as a flower and innocent. Just like you, Aiqing, are both talented and beautiful."

Yang Xian said: "Your Highness, have you forgotten the ancestral instructions of the Emperor Ming Dynasty written by His Majesty?"

"After becoming the princess's consort, I can't be an official. I can only live in the palace for the rest of my life and be raised like a vase. Isn't this harmful to me?"

Yang Xian originally wanted to raise it like a pig.

In fact, in some ways, it's even worse than a pig.

In the Ming Dynasty, everything about the prince-in-law was strictly controlled. Even having sex with the princess had to look at the faces of the nuns who taught him. This life was as frustrating as it was frustrating.

After listening to Yang Xian's words, Zhu Biao remembered this matter.

The queen mother did not think carefully this time.

This is not harming Yang Xian, it is harming the entire Ming Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty cannot lose talents like Yang Xian.

And making an exception for Yang Xian alone would obviously not work, and Yang Xian was not the only consort.

Once this trend spreads, if others follow suit, it will violate Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of setting this rule in the early days, which is to prevent the harem and relatives from interfering in politics.

"Your Highness, can you please bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone? I have a notebook to write." Yang Xian said. "Now?" Zhu Biao asked.

Yang Xian nodded. If this memorial had not been written earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what trouble he would have made.

From letting the prince hold a whip and drive a chariot, to now preparing to marry off his daughter.

Yang Xian knew that this series of actions were all because his contribution to the Northern Expedition was so great.

Zhu Biao got up and personally brought Yang Xian pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He stood aside and watched Yang Xian write. When he saw the first few words, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

"Apologia?!"

"Yang Qing, what are you guilty of?!" Zhu Biao asked.

In his opinion, Yang Xian only had credit, and it was a huge credit.

Yang Xian said: "Before, I mobilized troops and horses in Liaodong without His Majesty's order. This is a crime of unauthorized use of power."

"But Yang Qing, you are also fighting for the final victory of the Northern Expedition. The battlefield is changing rapidly and opportunities are fleeting. The ancients once said that the fate of the foreign emperor will not be accepted." Zhu Biao was still defending Yang Xian.

Yang Xian said with a serious face: "If you can ignore any means and process for the sake of results, if this trend breaks out and all the soldiers outside in the future learn from me, what kind of chaos will it be."

"Your Highness, merit is merit and fault is fault. Just because I won in the end, I cannot ignore my mistakes in the process."

After listening to Yang Xian's words, Zhu Biao was in awe.

In Zhu Biao's eyes, Yang Xian's move was already an act of a saint.

At this time, Zhu Biao was like a student, standing quietly beside Yang Xian, watching Yang Xian finish writing the apology form in front of him word by word.

As expected of someone from Hanlin, this apology form is really beautifully written and can be used as a template for the ministers to apologize.

After Yang Xian traveled through time, he inherited all the abilities of the original owner.

Zhu Biao took the apology form from Yang Xian and read it again. He was filled with admiration and started to get dressed at the same time.

"Your Highness is this?"

"I will help you deliver it to Father now." Zhu Biao said.

Not only Yang Xian's apology form, but also Zhu Biao must communicate with Zhu Yuanzhang immediately about the marriage.

Zhu Biao took Yang Xian's apology form and entered the palace late at night. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't sleep at this time.

"Boss, if you weren't accompanying Yang Xian in the East Palace, why did you come into the palace so late at night?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion.

"Father, this is the apology form written by Yang Qing." Zhu Biao said and handed over the apology form in his hand, and then told Zhu Yuanzhang what Yang Xian had just said to him.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was also moved.

This Yang Xian is indeed fiercely loyal.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself that it seemed that he was worrying too much.

By doing this, Yang Xian also solved the problem that Zhu Yuanzhang had been troubled by these days.

With this apology form, Zhu Yuanzhang could naturally downgrade Yang Xian's reward.

From the original title of king, it is enough to be demoted to the title of Duke.

With this as a basis, Zhu Biao later talked to Zhu Yuanzhang about the marriage grant, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son quickly reached an agreement.

On the second day, Yang Xian's reward came quickly.

Yang Xian had a history of arbitrarily mobilizing troops and horses from Liaodong, but he thought that it was for the great cause of the Northern Expedition and he was dedicated to the country, the country, and the country, so he would not be held accountable.

Because of his meritorious service in the Northern Expedition, he was given a special residence in Hongwuzheng Street, Nanjing.

Yang Xian was given 500 hectares of fertile land in Yangqu, Taiyuan, his hometown, 73 tenant households, 150 gravekeeper households, and 19 honor guard households.

On the basis of the original Taifu, he was awarded the title of Founding Assistant to promote the sincerity of the Xuanli military minister, and was specially promoted to Ronglu doctor, Shangzhu state, Yang Guogong, and the governor of the army, with a salary of 5000 shi.

Give him a red python warm robe and a jade belt.

Even if there is no direct sensation of being crowned king.

But Yang Xian's reward this time also shocked the government and the public.

You must know that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only six dukes have been granted the title, namely, Duke Li Shanchang of Korea, Duke Xu Da of Wei, Duke Li Wenzhong of Cao, Duke Feng Sheng of Song, Duke Deng Yu of Wei, and Chang Mao of Zheng.

Chang Mao is Chang Yuchun's son. If Chang Yuchun is still alive, his position should be after Xu Da and before Li Wenzhong.

Except for Chang Mao, who succeeded his father Chang Yuchun in the title, the other five people were all Zhu Yuanzhang's great contributors to the world.

You must know that even Tang He only granted the title of Marquis of Zhongshan.

When Tang He was the commander-in-chief of the Red Scarf Army, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a little groom.

During the period of conquering the world, Tang He also made great contributions.

This shows how valuable the position of Duke of the State is.

Moreover, Yang Xian's salary of 5000 dan this time was directly the same as that of Xu Da, ranking first among the hundred officials, and a full 1000 dan higher than Li Shanchang, the leader of civil servants.

Anyone who is an official in the capital has a good sense of politics.

If you don't have this kind of vision, you won't be able to be a Beijing official.

They have already smelled something from Zhu Yuanzhang's reward.

In the eyes of some people, it is only a matter of time before Yang Xian takes over.

Li Shanchang is already very old.

Some of them have even begun to send gifts to Yang Xian's new residence, Yang Guogong's Mansion. Most of these people belong to neither the Huaixi Party nor the Zhejiang Party.Yang Xian naturally refused them all and was joking. At this time, there were countless pairs of eyes in the entire capital staring at him.

Wait for him to make a mistake.

The next day, Yang Xian, wearing a red python warm robe and a white jade belt, entered the palace to thank the saint.

Now that the reward matter is finally over, the next thing to do is to discuss the aftermath of the Mobei Grassland.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Dong Guo Yang is here." Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Yang Xian, who was wearing a red python robe, with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xian, comes to see you." Yang Xian said.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Sit down."

"Just now I was chatting with the prince about the aftermath of the Mobei Grassland. You came just in time. According to Yang Guogong, how should this matter be resolved?"

Yang Xian was naturally prepared for this matter.

Yang Xian thought for a while and replied: "The most important thing we have to do is to fundamentally destroy the previous tribal model of the Beiyuan people and make them completely Chinese. Only in this way can the Mobei Grassland truly become the territory of the Ming Dynasty. .”

While Yang Xian was discussing how Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his son would eradicate Bei Yuan.

Brother and sister Wang Baobao and Wang Yuemin finally met.

The brother and sister had never thought that they would have the chance to meet alive in this life, and they were both extremely excited.

Both Wang Baobao and Wang Yuemin were people who would not express their feelings easily. At this moment when they met again after so many years, their eyes were red.

When brothers and sisters who had been separated for many years met again, there should have been endless topics to talk about, but for a while, neither party knew where to start.

Then they started chatting about a man they shared.

Yang Xian.
