Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 43: Conferred the title of [Hereditary County Male], the Lu family takes a concubine!

"in this way."

"Practice."

"Zhu Ying risked his own life, slew thousands of enemies, held back the enemy army, and rendered great service to the country."

"In addition to the additional reward of 100 gold for the position of garrison commander of Jin, he will also be granted the title of [Hereditary County Baron] and an additional reward of 100 gold." Zhu Yuanzhang announced immediately.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

All the ministers shouted.

The meeting dispersed.

Inside Fengtian Hall.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Biao were left.

"Boss."

"What do you think of this, Zhu Ying?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"He is young and promising, brave and courageous, and he also has the ability to lead troops."

"He is indeed a talented person." Zhu Biao replied with a smile.

"Haha."

"It seems that you have already paid attention to Zhu Ying." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"father."

"After hearing Zhu Ying's name for the first time, my son asked the Ministry of War to check his records."

"This boy is sixteen years old and can indeed be called a young hero."

"Available."

"Our Ming army is strong, but as far as the country is concerned, except for Brother Mu Ying who guards Yunnan, the rest are all based in Huaixi. The Huaixi generals are brave, but they are too arrogant."

"Dad has always wanted to suppress them and make the Huaixi generals restrain their tempers, but it was ultimately useless."

"But our Ming Dynasty has no choice but to use it."

"Son, I understand what you are thinking." Zhu Biao said with a serious expression.

Hear this!

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I'm glad you understand, Biao'er."

"but."

"Although the Huaixi people are arrogant, they are indeed a good sword for the Ming Dynasty and for you, Biao'er. If used well, they will become the strongest weapon in your hands."

"of course."

"You haven't let me down. Although the Huaixi generals are domineering, they still dare not act presumptuously in front of you."

"Biao'er, you already possess the majesty of an emperor, the aura of a king, enough to overwhelm others."

"These Huaixi generals will be the swords in your hands in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and looked at his son with satisfaction and pride.

If Zhu Ying saw this moment.

You will definitely feel some emotion.

In history, if Zhu Biao had not died of illness, the Huaixi generals would still be able to survive, because they had been completely subdued by Zhu Biao, and they did not dare to do anything to Zhu Biao. Although he was domineering, Zhu Biao was completely useful.

As the crown prince with the most stable position in history, Zhu Biao's stability was not only due to his natural advantages, but his own abilities were also key.

But with the death of Zhu Biao, Huaixi came to an end completely. Because he saw that Zhu Yunwen was unable to subdue the Huaixi generals, he killed them to smooth things over for future monarchs and avoid chaos.

"Dad, don't worry."

"Son will never let you down."

"Dad, you founded the Ming Dynasty and restored the dignity of the Han Chinese."

"Your son will definitely create greater glory for the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Biao said with a serious face, his imperial heart was not concealed at all.

Looking at Zhu Biao, looking at his son.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a kind face, without any of the majesty of an emperor. He looked like a loving father, pleased to see the recognition of his most outstanding son.

"Dad believes in you." Zhu Yuanzhang also said affirmatively.

……

Lu family!

Lobby.

"Father."

"The Shen family has already sent the dowry."

"As expected of the rumor that he is the richest man in Ming Dynasty, his family is indeed wealthy."

"Just for a concubine, they gave tens of thousands of gold, more than a hundred boxes of money and jewelry, and a hundred slaves as a dowry." Lu Ben's eldest son Lu Hao excitedly came to Lu Ben with a gift book.

"Since the dowry is generous, let's find a time to let this girl from the Shen family marry into the family." Lu Ben said very calmly.

As the Minister of Rites, he is also the father of the current Crown Prince's concubine.

Lu Ben undoubtedly had a very high status in the court.

"Father."

"Don't you want to invite some people to the mansion for a banquet?" Lu Hao asked.

"Just a concubine."

“No need to go to great lengths.”

"Although the Shen family is extremely wealthy, they are ultimately just a family of merchants."

"Letting the daughter of the Shen family marry into my Lu family is already marrying above their station." Lu Ben said calmly.

in this era.

Merchants are the lowest class.

Even if they are extremely wealthy, they are still not looked down upon by officials. In fact, the status of merchants is even lower than that of workers and farmers.

Businessmen value profit and will do anything to get it.

The current Hongwu Emperor is also dissatisfied with merchants, and naturally the same is true for the entire court.

If it weren't for the Shen family's immense wealth, Lu Ben would never have agreed to let his eldest son take a daughter from the Shen family as a concubine.

"What my father said is absolutely true."

"Just a businessman."

"But since the Shen family has sent such a large dowry, we should still give them some respect."

"There is no need for father to invite high officials from the court. I will find some relatives and friends to come to the mansion for a banquet. This will be considered as an answer to the Shen family." Lu Hao said with a smile.

"kindness."

Lu Ben nodded, then said: "You are doing well now, you have grown up."

"This is how you should behave in official circles in the future. Be cautious."

"Now that your sister has taken charge of the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace, and Yun Wen is also deeply favored by the Crown Prince, what my Lu family has to do is to fully support your sister."

"Whether my Lu family can become the real first family of Ming Dynasty and the real royal family in the future depends on your sister." Lu Ben said earnestly.

When he said these words, the ambition in Lu Ben's eyes was not concealed at all.

"Please rest assured, father."

"I understand, son." Lu Hao said immediately.

"besides."

"Restrain your two younger brothers. They are not as sensible as you. Now is a critical moment for your sister. I don't want them to cause any trouble again." Lu Ben said sternly again.

"I understand, son." Lu Hao nodded.

"Father."

"Who exactly is that Zhu Ying in the imperial court today? How could he be so highly regarded by the Emperor and the Crown Prince?"

"He actually directly promised a hereditary county barony."

"You should know that even my father has never been given a title." Lu Hao said somewhat indignantly.

Lu Ben frowned and glared at Lu Hao: "The prince has decided, the emperor is so gracious, how can you be so presumptuous?"

Lu Hao's face changed, he nodded repeatedly, slapped himself twice, and said hurriedly: "My son spoke out of turn."

"You are right that the Emperor's intentions are not obvious to you."

"But this is a good thing for my Lu family." Lu Ben stroked his beard, with a shrewd look on his face.

"Father."

"Is there any hidden secret in this?" Lu Hao asked immediately.

"Who is the most capable general in our Ming Dynasty?" Lu Ben asked in return.

"Of course it's Huaixi." Lu Hao said immediately.

"The Huaixi general is good at commanding troops and fighting, and has a very high prestige in the army."

"And Huaixi is acting too recklessly."

"Everything that has happened over the years has displeased the Emperor."

"If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suppressing it, perhaps Huaixi would have been liquidated by the Emperor long ago."
