Chapter 130: King Ming's Return to the Dynasty

One thing Wutong said is right, on the day of King Ming's return to Beijing, the streets of the entire Jinling City were indeed a grand occasion of thousands of empty alleys. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

People only think that they want to express their highest reverence, enthusiasm and support for this Ming prince who has a great record of military achievements and outstanding military achievements, but they don't know whether their behavior is really good or bad for the person they respect and support.

At least on this day, when Emperor Chen heard Xie Ming, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, inadvertently mention the grand occasion on the street, although he only snorted coldly and did not express anything else, his face was really not very good.

However, the more this is the case, the more Chen Huang has to make a very good gesture. Why is King Ming supported by the people? Because he is the hero of the imperial court, the hero of the people, and the hero of the entire Da Chen, the country of Da Chen is the country of his Zhong Jing, and the hero of Da Chen is of course also the hero of his Zhong Jing, and King Ming is not only a hero, but also his imperial brother.

Emperor Chen personally led the court context military hundred officials to the main gate of the palace to welcome the return of the Ming King and his entourage, the etiquette regulation is second only to the specifications of the national rites, and then it is in the Qianqing Palace specially designed for the Ming King to receive the wind banquet, and then, it is time to reward the meritorious deeds, the Ming King is already the title of the Prince of Yipin, which is no longer able to go up, can not reward the Jin Jue, it can only be rewarded from the material.

And what a meritorious service King Ming is, the general reward is really not enough, but of course he has already prepared for the reward of Emperor Chen, first of all, the Pingding Street in the east of the city has been built for a year and a half, and was just completed last month, and its land scale and internal luxury are comparable to the Qingwang Mansion.

Of course, how the metaphor is played, but the Qingwang Mansion is the expansion of King Qingwang himself to such a scale, and the luxury is not half related to Emperor Chen, but the Xinming Wangfu is of course different, whether it is the scale of the Xinming Mansion or the construction of the palace, it is all seen by Emperor Chen himself and nodded, and the meaning of this is naturally beyond the reach of the Qingwang Mansion.

The second is to reward the fiefdoms.

Two months ago, there was a rebellion of Wenbo Hou in Cangzhou, and there was such a lesson there, and in the following two months, Emperor Chen's vigilance against Hou Bo in other places has obviously increased a lot, and even has a faint meaning of cutting power and weakness, especially for his own uncle, Xian Guogong, the brother of the Empress Dowager Xian, has long been dissatisfied.

If it weren't for the fact that when Emperor Chen succeeded to the throne, Empress Dowager Xian forced her brother to withdraw from the court and live in Ganzhou in the south.

But thinking on the other hand, if Xian Guogong really stayed in the court at that time, with Xian Guogong's nature of being greedy for power and power, it would be a matter of time before Emperor Chen did not tolerate it, and it was precisely because Empress Dowager Xian knew her brother and her son better, she did not want to watch such a thing happen in the end, so she rationally chose to force her brother out of the center of court power, and let Emperor Chen give Ganzhou as a fief and go to the place.

But Xian Guogong is really not a quiet master, and he does whatever he wants in the local area, and he doesn't take the law of Da Chen in his eyes at all, if it weren't for Emperor Chen's repeated side knocks, Empress Dowager Xian has also warned in many ways, and it has only been reined in over the years, although Emperor Chen has always had an attitude of turning a blind eye on the surface, but in fact he has long been dissatisfied with it, if it were not for the Empress Dowager Xian, Xian Guogong may not have lived today.

However, in this context, no one expected that Emperor Chen would be sealed again, even if the object was King Ming, who had outstanding military achievements, but in everyone's cognition, in the eyes of Emperor Chen, they did not believe in a little bit of family affection, but only believed in supreme and inviolable power.

But Emperor Chen really did this, but when he heard the specific place of the fief given by Emperor Chen, combined with the current situation of King Ming, some people who saw through it already understood.

Emperor Chen gave the fief of King Ming: Yingzhou in the south.

Yes, it is Yingzhou, the richest state in the south, but the most difficult for the imperial court to control, Yingzhou is divided into three forces: the imperial court, the local wealthy businessmen, and the gangs in the rivers and lakes. Of the three parties, the influence and control of the imperial court is the smallest.

Fortunately, the three parties have always been relatively harmonious, and there have been no major conflicts, but as the weakest force, the local officials of the court were still polite to the local wealthy merchants and the forces that came and went, but they let a royal prince go there as a fief, and I really don't know whether it was good or bad.

And even if this is the case, it is not known when this article will take effect. Because before Emperor Chen allowed King Ming to resign from the title of commander of the army on the edge of the town, King Ming could not leave Beishu to return to Beijing or go to the fiefdom for a day, except for returning to Beijing to report on his work. So at least for now, it's just a dead letter.

This second point is plausible and void, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and of course Emperor Chen also understands it, so the third article came out: Zhong Xiyan, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, is the lord of Xucheng in Yingzhou, and the lord of Zhong Xitong is the lord of Yiping, and enjoys the same treatment as the princess.

Naturally, none of these three rewards are extraordinary, and the third is certainly significantly inferior to the second in terms of value, but in the eyes of most people, the third is more meaningful than the second.

People are more willing to accept the blessings of future generations than an invisible future. This is the difference between Article 2 and Article 3.

On this day, Ning Qin'er passed by the Imperial Garden, and saw several palace maids hurrying past the Imperial Garden with a blue-clothed woman who was clearly visible and beautiful although she was born.

"Is that Princess Ming?" Ning Qin'er asked.

Wutong nodded, "I haven't seen the slave either, but I think it should be!" Presumably he came to pick up the prince of Xiyan and the lord of Xitong out of the palace! ”

"Although I haven't had close contact, I should be a good woman based on my eyes!"

Wutong nodded with a smile, "That's for sure, from the year when Princess Ming married Prince Ming, Prince Ming was named the commander of the Zhenbei Army, and he was in Beishu for seven years, during which he only returned to Beijing once four years ago; Princess Ming was born as a young lady, but she was not afraid of hardship, and went to Beishu directly with Ming Wangye, and accompanied Ming Wangye in Beishu for seven years. Only a woman, it's really rare! ”

Ning Qin'er was slightly stunned, "Wutong, what did you just say?" Princess Ming married King Ming, only seven years? ”

Wutong nodded, "Yes, this is still a marriage given by His Majesty!" ”

Ning Qin'er became more and more confused, "Princess Ming has been married to King Ming for seven years, but Xiyan is thirteen years old, and Xitong is eleven years old, how can this be explained?" ”

Wutong was stunned, and then he realized what Ning Qin'er was asking, and hurriedly explained, "Oh, the master is talking about this, but the slave forgot to explain to the master, because the biological mother of the prince of Xiyan and the lord of Xitong County is not the current princess of Ming, but the princess of the former Ming, but the princess of the former Ming doesn't know what disease she had, and she died of illness when the lord of Xitong was less than three years old. ”

Ning Qin'er was slightly shocked, "You mean, the current Princess Ming is not the biological mother of Xiyan and Xitong?" ”

Wutong nodded, "Well, now this Ming princess is not the biological mother of the prince of Xiyan and the lord of Xitong, although Princess Ming has been married to Ming Wang Ye for more than seven years, and Ming Wang Ye has not accepted the side because of his perennial garrison in Beishu, but in the past seven years, Princess Ming still has no children of her own."
