Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 291 The second daughter is married, where is the eldest daughter? (Please subscribe!!)

"Besides, Wang Baobao couldn't capture Beiping City with 300,000 men. Even if I give you 10,000 men, it won't help!"

Feng Sheng shook his head.

"Then we will go directly to Beiping City with all our troops. Although we were defeated by Wang Baobao, we still have more than 200,000 soldiers to fight. We can capture Beiping City and kill Ouyang Lun. How will we report to His Majesty then? It’s not us who has the final say!”

Lan Yu whispered.

"Sapphire!"

Hearing this, Feng Sheng was startled, "Are you crazy!"

"Are you going to rebel against your own city? Xu Da is guarding the Great Wall at the moment. Now that there is no threat from the Beiyuan army, he can support Beiping City at any time!"

"You want to die, don't hold me back!"

Lan Yu roared angrily: "Song Guogong, you are too indecisive. This Ouyang Lun is the bane of our Huaixi Party. If we don't get rid of him now, we will all die at his hands in the future!"

"Now Xu Da and Tang He are on Ouyang Lun's side. Originally we wanted to destroy Wang Baobao and rely on this achievement to make His Majesty pay attention to us again, but now all the credit has been given to Ouyang Lun, Xu Da, Tang He Take it away, and we will be defeated!"

"All of this is caused by Ouyang Lun!"

Feng Sheng shook his head, "I don't know what you are talking about, but the risk of attacking Beiping City is too great. Once exposed, you and I will be annihilated."

"I think it's better to wait for news from the Grand Master on this matter."

"As long as the Grand Master is here, Ouyang Lun can't even hope to win!"

"The decree has arrived!"

Just when Feng Sheng and Lan Yu were arguing, the eunuch delivering the order had already arrived in the handsome tent.

The two quickly knelt down.

"The Emperor of Heaven has issued an edict: Wang Baobao's army has fled. He orders Duke Feng Sheng of the Song Dynasty and Marquis of Yongchang Lan Yu to rush back to the capital immediately. The generals will take the army back to various guard posts. I admire this!"

"The minister leads the order!"

"Song Guogong and Yongchang Hou, you two are ready to return to the capital with the Za family." The eunuch who passed the order said coldly.

Feng Sheng and Lan Yu looked at each other, their hearts trembling.

"Eunuch, your Majesty is not satisfied with our performance!" Lan Yu said, putting a piece of gold into the hand of the eunuch who passed the order.

The eunuch who passed the order accepted the gold and looked better, "Song Guogong, Yongchang Marquis, your Majesty is indeed very angry this time. He asked you to support Beiping City, but it has not been done for two months. Now he has suffered another defeat. Many officials in the court We all ask His Majesty to punish you two severely!"

"On the other hand, Prince Consort Ouyang not only defended Beiping City, but also attacked the Royal Court of Beiyuan. I heard that all the queens, princesses, and ministers who came to Emperor Yuan were captured. This contrast further highlights your incompetence."

"Your Majesty asked the Zajia family to deliver the order this time, so he called you two back to hold you accountable."

Hearing this, Feng Sheng and Lan Yu's faces became even more ugly.

"But don't worry too much. When the Za family left the capital to convey the decree, the Grand Master had already rushed back to the capital. He interceded for you two. In view of your previous achievements, Your Majesty, Maybe I won’t be too harsh on you two.”

call--

Feng Sheng and Lan Yu also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Li Shanchang was back.

"Please wait a moment, father-in-law, I and I will return to Beijing with you as soon as we are ready!"

Feng Sheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me."

Lan Yu stuffed another piece of gold into the eunuch's hand.

The war in Northern Xinjiang finally ended after more than two months.

So things are clarified.

Civil and military officials also began to discuss how to reward those who had meritorious service in this battle.

in the hall.

Guo Zi, the Minister of Household Affairs, took the lead in standing up.

"Your Majesty, this time Wang Baobao commanded the Northern Yuan army to attack our Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be the most dangerous one since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, Ouyang Prince Consort, Wei Guogong, and Xin Guogong worked closely together to block the attack of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Of course, This is also the result of His Majesty’s advance planning!”

"This time the Beiyuan army's attack failed. It will be unable to attack our Ming Dynasty again within a few years and win a few years of peace for our Ming Dynasty!"

"I believe that Prince Consort Ouyang, Duke Xin, and Duke Wei should be the first to contribute to this battle, and should be rewarded in recognition of their achievements!"

It begins with Guo Zi’s words.

In the court, many officials also agreed. There were not only officials from the Prince Consort Party, but also officials from the neutral faction and the East Zhejiang Party.

Of course, the Huaixi Party officials would not agree. At this moment, they were glaring at these officials who asked for credit for Ouyang Lun, Xu Da, and Tang He.

They really wanted to stop them, but before going to court, they received a warning from Grand Master Li Shanchang not to obstruct Ouyang Lun and others from asking for credit. Everyone knew the reason. In the battle of Northern Xinjiang, Ouyang Lun, Xu Da, Tang He and the three of them performed very well, especially Ouyang Lun, who used 10,000 yuan as 300,000 yuan to defend the city of Beiping intact. Preaching, in addition, Ouyang Lun also defeated Duoyan and other three hundred thousand troops in the Chita Tribe Trading City, and also proposed a plan to sneak attack on the Beiyuan Royal Court!

Anyone who obstructs such tremendous achievements is going against the people of the world.

Li Shanchang and Huaixi Party officials are not stupid and will cause trouble on this.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon throne and had a clear view of the situation in the court.

He also knew very well what rewards Guo Zi was talking about. Of course, they were not simply material rewards such as gold and silver. Money and treasures might be enough for soldiers and ordinary generals, but for Ouyang Lun, who had made such great contributions, it was natural that is not enough.

Zhu Yuanzhang also thought about Ouyang Lun's reward for a long time and already had a plan in mind.

However, even though Guo Zi took the lead in urging, Zhu Yuanzhang did not reply immediately.

"Guo Aiqing is right. I wonder if you all have any suggestions on this?"

As soon as this word comes out.

There was a burst of noise in the court hall.

Then Guo Zi stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, in this battle, Duke Xu Da of Wei State was stationed on the front line of the Great Wall. He kept an eye on the 100,000-strong Beiyuan Third Army, preventing them from breaking through the Great Wall. You have merit! You should be rewarded!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

After Guo Zi finished speaking, many officials spoke in support.

"This battle with the Duke of Wei is like a divine needle that fixes the sea. It is indeed a great achievement! It deserves a reward!"

Grand Master Li Shanchang stood alone in the first row of civil servants and said calmly.

As Li Shanchang spoke, Huaixi Party officials also echoed.

All civil and military officials agreed and no one objected.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded slowly. Zhu Yuanzhang was also very satisfied and relieved with Xu Da's performance in this battle.

But now Xu Da's daughter Xu Miaoyun has become Ouyang Lun's woman. Like himself, she has also become Ouyang Lun's father-in-law, and the relationship is a bit complicated.

Ouyang Lun is becoming more and more energetic, which makes me pay more and more attention to and fear him! But since I personally asked you Ouyang Lun to marry Xu Miaoyun, I naturally have ways to check and balance.

Zhu Yuanzhang quietly thought about his reward for Xu Da.

All the officials also waited patiently.

"Ahem, I have always made clear rewards and punishments. If Xu Da has meritorious service, he should naturally be rewarded."

"But Xu Da is already the Duke of the country, and his title cannot be promoted. If I just reward him with some money, it would seem a bit stingy on my part. Let's do this. I will reward him with a good marriage!"

"I heard that Xu Da's second daughter, Xu Miaoqing, is pretty and graceful. My fourth son, Zhu Di, just needs a concubine, so I'll give them a marriage!"

Uh-huh! ?

Zhu Yuanzhang's operation can be said to be both expected and unexpected by the officials.

It is a common method for emperors and ministers to marry their children into in-laws, but why was it the second daughter of the Xu family who was granted the marriage? Instead of the eldest daughter? Isn’t the eldest daughter more beautiful and outstanding?

strangeness.

However, Baiguan did not dwell too much on this issue. It is not the point that his daughter married Zhu Di. The point is that Xu Da became the father-in-law of King Yan!

The Xu family suddenly became relatives of the emperor. Such a reward is not light!

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Guo Zi and other ministers shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, Tang He, Duke of Xin State, led ten thousand cavalry troops deep into the grasslands this time, defeated the royal court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and captured the royal family of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and hundreds of civil and military officials alive. You have meritorious service! You should be rewarded!"

"Well, it just so happens that my twelfth son Zhu Bai also needs a wife. Let's marry Tang He's second daughter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Baiguan was confused again.

Strangely, the eldest daughter of Xin Guo Gong Tang He seemed to be unmarried, so why did he choose the second daughter?

Is it possible that His Majesty likes dick very much? ?

It seems that I will have more daughters when I go back.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Aside from Wei Guogong and Xin Guogong, the one who made the greatest contribution in this battle is Ouyang Consort!"

"I believe that Ouyang Prince Consort has been operating in Beizhili for almost six years. From the beginning of the county magistrate to the current chief envoy of Beizhili, the entire Beizhili has been completely prosperous!"

"Build roads, reclaim wasteland, and build the Great Wall."

"Coupled with his achievements in resisting the Northern Yuan army this time, he can be promoted to the court and benefit the entire Ming Dynasty!"

These words still came from Guo Zi's mouth.

After listening to Guo Zi's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. It was not that he had any objections to Ouyang Lun's achievements, but that he felt that Guo Zi was simply Ouyang Lun's replacement!

He spoke for Ouyang Lun like crazy. Sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang even doubted whether Ouyang Lun had given Guo Zi a lot of money! !

However, Guo Zi's words reminded Zhu Yuanzhang.

Five or six years have passed since Ouyang Lun went to Beizhili to become a county magistrate.

"Guo Zi, why do you think Ouyang Lun can benefit the Ming Dynasty by joining the court? I think Ouyang Lun can better display his abilities in Beizhili!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, Ouyang Prince Consort's achievements are known to the whole world, so I won't elaborate too much. In terms of planning and development, Ouyang Prince Consort is unmatched by anyone in the world!"

"If Your Majesty is willing to allow Ouyang Prince Consort to enter the court, I, the Minister of Household Affairs, are willing to abdicate the throne and make way for someone worthy of the throne. I will assist Ouyang Prince Consort and manage the entire daimyo's money and food!"

Guo Zi said with a determined expression.

Many officials also agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, "You have great confidence in Ouyang Lun!"

The more officials admired Ouyang Lun, the more Zhu Yuanzhang became afraid of Ouyang Lun.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Ouyang Lun was definitely not the kind of foolish and loyal person, and many times he was even unable to see clearly what Ouyang Lun was thinking, or what pursuits and ambitions he had.

As an emperor, it is a terrible thing to be unable to control the thoughts of his ministers, especially when this minister is extremely powerful.

Ouyang Lun's reputation among the people is already high. If Ouyang Lun is allowed to enter the court, he will definitely have great achievements in the future. What will happen to him as the emperor then?

As a powerful emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang would never allow his ministers to be more powerful than him and threaten the imperial power!

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to continue to suppress Ouyang Lun and wait until Zhu Biao came to the throne before transferring Ouyang Lun to the court. In this way, Zhu Biao would have the favor to promote Ouyang Lun. With the relationship between Ouyang Lun and Zhu Biao, when the time comes, Ouyang Lun will definitely assist Zhu Biao wholeheartedly.

Zhu Biao and Ouyang Lun are similar in age. Maybe Zhu Biao will live longer than Ouyang Lun, so that he can perfectly avoid Ouyang Lun and become a powerful minister.

Therefore, Ouyang Lun cannot be transferred to the court yet, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to help but kill Ouyang Lun!

However, after Ouyang Lun made such a great contribution, Zhu Yuanzhang could not veto it.

"Li Shanchang, what do you think about this matter?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he gave Li Shanchang a special look.

Since it’s hard for me to speak, I’ll just find someone who is easy to speak to and refuse.

The Huaixi Party headed by Li Shanchang naturally did not want to see Ouyang Lun grow bigger, so it would be best if Li Shanchang refused.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Li Shanchang first bowed his hand towards Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think Ouyang Prince Consort has outstanding abilities, has unique insights and methods in managing government affairs, and is also quite accomplished in the military. I think Ouyang Prince Consort is also very capable." We need a bigger platform to showcase our talents!”

"I also agree to transfer Ouyang's consort to the capital!"

Um! ! ? ?

Li Shanchang finished speaking.

Including Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone in the hall was stunned.

Huaixi Party: Is Master Taishi old and confused? Why do you want to talk to that guy Ouyang Lun? If Ouyang Lun enters the capital, wouldn't it cause a bloody storm in the court, which would be very detrimental to the Huaixi Party!

Prince Consort:? ? ? What's wrong with Li Shanchang's stomach?

Centrist Party/Eastern Zhejiang Party: Could it be that the Huaixi Party and the Prince Consort Party have joined forces?

Zhu Yuanzhang: Bastard! I asked you to object, but you actually agreed! ! Are you so blind?

"Ahem, apart from Li Shanchang's suggestion, who! Has any other suggestions!?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

For a time, none of the civil and military officials in the hall objected!

Everyone supports Ouyang Lun's entry into the court!

This situation made Zhu Yuanzhang feel like he had lost control of the court, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty has been in existence for sixteen years. Although under the leadership of Your Majesty, the national power of Ming Dynasty has been improving day by day, the people in many places are still living in the heat of water!"

"Beizhili has developed the fastest in the past two years, and the people's lives are getting better and better. This is something I feel most deeply as the Minister of Household Affairs!"

"If the development method of Beizhili can be promoted across the country, Ming Dynasty will definitely develop faster, and if you want to accomplish this feat, you must be Ouyang Consort!"

"I believe that Your Majesty also wants to see all the people of Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, and every family has enough food in their lifetime!"

After hearing what Guo Zi said, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.
