I am the king of the dead

"If He Zhang loses his arm, Tuo Gu and Mark will lose an arm. If He Zhang loses his head, Tuo Gu and Mark will only have one head when they return to the grassland."

Yang Shan shivered violently and said, "Do you really want to say that?"

Hu Mei said precisely: "Everyone knows the word Tuotuobuhua, but he couldn't understand the words with too many twists and turns."

"There is a grudge between me and He Zhang. I can't let him become a hero. If that happens, I won't be able to scold him in the future."

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty has no virtue, so he told Tuotuo Buhua just like that."

"Yes." Yang Shan thought for a while and took the order.

After Hu Wei heard Yang Shan's answer, he continued: "Recently, there has been a lot of noise about the new calendar. The new calendar is what His Majesty wants to implement, and it is also what Ming needs. Calculating the new calendar, I am so busy day and night."

"Tell them to shut up and don't delay the business."

"If the imperial students of the Hanlin Academy and the imperial students of the Imperial College really have nothing to do, Wu Zhangyuan, please give me a few more math papers to keep them busy."

Shut up the barkers, those bookstores in the market are simple about this matter, and the Ministry of Rites blows the wind, so they naturally dare not say more, but the imperial students of the Imperial College, the Hanlin of the Imperial Academy, and the Qingliu of the Metropolitan Academy are not afraid of them Ministry of Rites.

Hu Yi brought out the big killer, Wu Jing.

Wu Jing's position as head of the Imperial Academy should have been given to Lang Keqian, the number one scholar, but Wu Jing took up the position of head of the academy because it was more in line with His Majesty's needs.

Ke Qian, the number one scholar who was born in the army, went to the side to catch up.

Wu Jing's math problems can be more and more difficult, so that these people have something to do and get busy, so they don't have so much time to chew their tongues.

The Datong calendar in the Hongwu period has been used to this day, but it is actually not very useful. These so-called Qingliu will only live with the rhetoric that the laws of the ancestors are indestructible.

Even more conservative than the Ministry of Rites, and more flexible than the Ministry of Rites, how can this be possible?Turning etiquette into an inconvenience, isn't the Ministry of Rites standing opposite His Majesty?

Wu Jing bowed his head and said: "This is easy to handle. Your Majesty has 38 sets. It's all because it is more difficult. The papers that His Majesty will not pass are enough to take out."

"Hmm." Hu Ming knew that His Majesty was good at arithmetic and engineering, and would even personally go to Shijing Factory to burn spring steel to make watches.

It is not surprising that Emperor Ming had some weird little hobbies.

"Then let's start today's ministry meeting." Hu Wei sat up straight and started to deal with the affairs of the ministry.

Wu Ning, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, said: "King Jili was buried with civil ceremonies, but there are still sons in the Jiwang Palace. There is a discussion in the court that this is not in line with the etiquette."

"If the son of Prince Ji inherits the title of King Ji, then King Ji Li should change the ceremony of prince. If the son of King Ji does not inherit the title of King Ji Li, he should follow the example of ordinary people and demote him to the people."

"The wind has picked up a bit recently, Hu Shangshu, what should we do?"

Hu Yi picked up the question book on the table and read it for a long time.

This is indeed a matter of etiquette.

If Zhu Jianshen, the son of King Ji, was to succeed King Ji, he would have to build tiles and houses on the tomb of King Jili, at least with blue tiles.

Now the tomb of King Jili is a solitary mound, and if it is not for the tombstone, even the tomb cannot be found.

Adding bricks and tiles to King Jili's grave is talking about His Majesty's big mouth.

Hu Yan said with a smile: "I have a proper way to deal with this matter."

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites has long scratched their heads over this matter. Does Hu Shangshu have a solution?

Chapter 553 What does he want to do!

It is a choice to add bricks and tiles to King Jili's tomb.

The second option is to abolish the lineage of King Ji's Mansion and follow the practice of Jianshu people, relocating the whole family of King Ji's Mansion to Fengyang and relegating them to common people.

Among them, the latter has many fans, but the former has none.

Although the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty fought with the emperor on weekdays, there were some things that could not be disputed.

Especially the issue of King Jili, this is the most basic political correctness.

The courtiers thought the time had come.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty can remove the thorn in his side and the thorn in his flesh. Even if he does not kill him, sending him to Fengyang to accompany Zhu Wengui, a commoner, is still a good choice.

But doing so would put His Majesty in an unkind and unrighteous situation. No matter how hard he tried, His Majesty, after all, came from the hands of King Ji Li.

Hu Wei would go to Tai'an Palace to give lectures on weekdays, and His Majesty's attitude towards Prince Ji's Mansion is very clear.

His Majesty didn't want to do anything to Prince Ji's Mansion or even the Queen Dowager in the palace, because His Majesty didn't want to delay Daming's progress for a little family matter.

His Majesty loves Zhu Jianshen very much, he treats Zhu Jianshen as his own, and there will be rewards every year and festival, especially the five caramel candies. To this day, Hu Wei doesn't even know what the five caramel candies mean.

And Zhu Jianshen has a lot of freedom, Zhu Jianshen can play and listen anywhere in the martial arts hall, which is almost the same privilege as the heirs in Tai'an Palace.

Hu Wei knew what His Majesty thought. Regarding whether Zhu Jianshen would inherit the Ji throne, His Majesty was inclined to inherit.

The problem arises, once inherited, you have to add bricks and tiles to King Jili's grave.

Hu Wei wanted to solve this problem, to let His Majesty do what he wanted to do, and to make sure that the people of the world could not make mistakes. This is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.

Hu Wei said with a smile: "During the Dragon and Phoenix period, Nanchang Wang Zao passed away, Nanchang Princess Wang took Zhu Wenzheng to my Taizu Gao Emperor, Taizu Gao Emperor treated Jingjiang Wang Zhu Wenzheng as if he was his own, raised him by his side, and relied heavily on him. .”

The King of Nanchang is Zhu Yuanzhang's elder brother Zhu Chongsi. When Zhu Yuanzhang first started his business, Zhu Chongsi died. The desperate Princess Wang of Nanchang took her son to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Said to be the princess, that's because Zhu Yuanzhang later became the emperor. At that time, the Wang family and Zhu Wenzheng were skinny and hungry, and they were quite miserable.

When the two Wus were fighting each other, Zhu Wenzheng guarded Nanchang, but because he didn't get enough rewards, he planned to join Zhang Shicheng. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and went to Nanchang himself, arrested Zhu Wenzheng, and asked him several times. What are you going to do!

Isn't it courting death to defect under Zhu Yuanzhang's hands?

But Zhu Yuanzhang just took him back, and finally made Zhu Wenzheng's son King Jingjiang.

Hu Wei said: "Zhu Wenzheng was the first to disobey, and Emperor Gao did not give Zhu Wenzheng any rewards or titles. Finally, he was buried in Tongcheng with civil ceremonies."

"And Zhu Wenzheng's son was conferred the title of King Jingjiang by Emperor Gao."

"Even Emperor Gao, who is known for his strictness, never thought of repaying his father's debts. If his majesty wants to confer the title of Ji Wang's son as Ji Wang, it is the law of the ancestors."

"It is better to use silver seals."

Zhu Wenzheng's son, King Jingjiang, is indeed a prince, but the Jingjiang palace all use silver seals, not gold seals such as those of King Xiang. This is the difference in etiquette.

King Jili was beheaded in the Taimiao and buried with civil ceremonies. No bricks and tiles were added to King Jili's grave, and the proper way of allowing Zhu Jianshen, the son of King Jili, to inherit the prince smoothly.

Zhu Wenzheng's example, the Ming Dynasty knew a lot about it, but those who can use it in this matter are just nonsense.

"Continue with the ministerial discussion." Hu Yan took a sip of tea and said, the decision on the issue of Ji Wang's son is in the hands of His Majesty.

"King Gongshun also reported first that they captured Emperor Constantine XI of Zhengshuo in Taixi, and wanted to sacrifice him before Jiayuguan." Yang Shan, Minister of Honglu Temple, said.

Constantine XI is the uncle of Princess Elena, a nobleman in the palace. This is also said to be the sacrifice of captives, but in fact it is to blackmail Daming.

The purple-robed emperor Constantine XI has now settled down in Batu Sarai, which is like a serious worry to the couple.

Wang Yue belonged to Wang Fu, and Wang Yue led the Uzbek army in Sarai Batu.

Once something happened to Wang Fu in Samarkand, Wang Yue would immediately act in the name of Constantine XI in Saraibatu, especially before going to Saraibatu to get the gold medal. Khan of the Horde.

First of all, the idea of ​​offering captives is to kill three birds with one stone. First, it can remove some of Wang Fu's political bargaining chips, although he also knows in his heart that it is useless;

Secondly, in the name of offering prisoners, he eased the relationship with Daming, and by the way, took advantage of Daming.

The main thing is to transfer hatred.

Now the sultan of the Ottoman Kingdom, Farah, seemed to have gone crazy, asking for Constantine XI and the green copper ball full of copper smell.

"Don't." Hu Yan said full of disgust: "Don't talk to him, you want to use Daming to solve their conflicts, what kind of dream is he doing at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Unless he also tied his hands and feet first and tied himself to Jiayuguan, otherwise don't talk to him."

Yang Shan nodded and said, "Okay."

The ministerial meeting was still going on, and Hu Wei was so energetic that he didn't look like an old man who was close to 80 years old. After the ministerial meeting was over, he went to Tai'an Palace again.

Hu Wei explained in detail about Zhu Wenzheng's old rules for His Majesty. He originally wanted to inquire about His Majesty's attitude towards Prince Ji's Mansion, but His Majesty never gave him this opportunity. Ask Wenyuan Pavilion to draw up an imperial edict, canonize Zhu Jianshen, the son of King Ji, and formally inherit the throne of Ji.

He used Zhu Wenzheng's example and blocked everyone's mouths.

What Emperor Taizu Gao did back then, Zhu Qiyu was just inheriting the behest of his ancestors.

After Zhu Qiyu ordered Xing'an to ask Wenyuan Pavilion to draft an edict, he said with a smile: "The five caramel candies have no meaning, they have been given all the time before, but suddenly they don't give them. I'm afraid that the people in the Prince's Palace will have some ideas."

"Prince Ji's mansion is like walking on thin ice. If there is any disturbance, there will be a lot of noise. Their life is already frightening enough. If I scare them again, I'm afraid they will have trouble sleeping and eating."

Only then did Hu Yi understand, he thought the five pieces of caramel had some special meaning, he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, benevolent."

After Hu Yi finished talking about the lineage of King Ji, he also talked about what Yexian said about offering prisoners.

The authority of this matter belongs to Honglu Temple. Honglu Temple is in charge of Tongshi Yuan, Huitong Hall and Siyi Hall, and is in charge of foreign affairs. This matter is a matter of the Ministry of Rites.

But that Constantine XI is Elena's uncle, and this is where things get tricky.

From a personal point of view, Zhu Qiyu is of course willing to take Elena's uncle to the Ming capital. After all, it is not easy to live under the fence.

But from Daming's point of view, he couldn't do that. Constantine XI's presence in Batu Sarai was more in Ming's interests.

Why does Hu Wei put His Majesty first, because he knows that His Majesty puts state affairs first.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the Ministry of Rites reached an agreement on this matter.

Hu Wei left Juxian Pavilion, looked up at the sun in the sky, the sun was burning in the sky.

Zhu Qiyu was dealing with the case in his hand, he threw out a memorial, and said angrily: "Jin Shangshu's son is really a tiger father and dog son!"

"In private, I resented that I only gave Jin Shangshu a Liujue, but not Shihou. If the secret is not secret, disasters will come first. This matter was also known by Chaozhong Qingliu."

"Bastard!"

Xing'an trembled in fright. Since the Battle of the Capital, His Majesty has rarely been so angry, especially since this memorial is an official document of the court, His Majesty rarely throws out the memorial. This is really angry.

Xing'an picked up the memorial and looked at it twice, fully understanding what was going on.

"Your Majesty, could this be a misunderstanding?" Xing'an hurriedly said, "Although Jin Lian's son, Jin Fu'an, has no ambition, neither military strategy nor literary talent, he is honest and honest, why is he uttering such wild words?"

"Jin Shangshu has a violent temperament, and he confronts His Majesty's internal funds tit for tat. He has a bad temper and offended many people. Is there someone deliberately misinterpreting it?"

Zhu Qiyu stood up, stood in front of the window, and said with lingering anger: "Go and find Jin Fu'an and his grandson Jin Cheng, and I will personally interrogate them."

"I obey the decree." Xing'an walked out of Juxian Pavilion, gave a few words of advice to Cheng Jing, and immediately took Dongchang's fans to the Jinfu outside the Chaoyang Gate in Dongcheng, which was the house bestowed by His Majesty.

Xing'an went to do it himself, because he was afraid that someone would interfere with this matter, so he would feel more at ease going by himself.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xing'an brought Jin Fu'an, Jin Cheng and his father to the Juxian Pavilion. During the whole process, Xing'an kept silent and waited for His Majesty to inquire personally. Jin Fuan walked into the Juxian Pavilion nervously .

"Your Majesty, Jin Fu'an, sees Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." Jin Fu'an took his son, prostrating three times and five times.

According to the Ming Dynasty system, Jin Fu'an had the official position of Jinyiwei Town Fushi, who didn't care about the affairs, but only received a salary, which could be hereditary for three generations.

Hu Changning's eldest son, Hu Changning, had this official position. Hu Changning died without a son, and Hu Changxiang, Hu's second son, inherited this official position.

This is the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, a kind of the grace system.

"After yesterday's curfew, did you have a drink with others in Yanxing Tower?" Zhu Qiyu asked, most of his anger gone.

Jin Fuan said tremblingly, "Yes."

"At the banquet, you said that I treat Jin Shangshu poorly?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a frown.

"No, your majesty has never said that!" Everyone in Jin Fu'an was startled, he broke out in a cold sweat and said: "Yesterday, my minister...you... really uttered wild words."

After Zhu Qiyu asked a few more questions, he finally found out why Jin Fu'an uttered wild words. Being greedy for drinking is one aspect.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "Your father spent his whole life working for Daming and offended many people. They were all waiting for the day when Jin Shangshu would fall. Now that your father has passed away, you should be very careful in your behavior. Give those who hold grudges and revenge a chance."

"I forgive you this time, if there is a next time, I will never forgive you lightly."

Jin Fu'an gasped after kneeling on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

"Go back." Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, telling Jin Fuan to go.

After Xing'an sent Jin Fu'an away, he did not return to the Imperial Study Room, but went to Yanxing Building, took a document, returned to the Imperial Study Room, handed it to His Majesty, and waited for His Majesty's decision.

After Zhu Qiyu finished reading the document, it was the same as what Jin Fuan said.

After drinking, the friends who ate together began to complain that it was not easy to live in Beijing Normal University, so Jin Fuan said that it would be great if his father was Spyker.

Just such a sentence was caught by someone, and Jin Fuan was guided to say a few more words, which turned into an official document of impeachment.

"Does this kind of thing happen often?" Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft rattan chair. Before Jin Lian's body was cold, someone had already started to attack his family. Even Jin Fu'an couldn't tell who was the one who started the fire. Coax him to say those words.

Xing'an pursed his lips and said, "Yes."

"How dare they do that! Jin Shangshu has worked hard for the Ming Dynasty all his life, he is clean and pure like jade, he should be called a gentleman." Zhu Qiyu said with a somewhat dazed expression.

Xing'an hesitated for a moment, what he wanted to say should not have been said, but he still said it.
