Chapter 114: The Rotten Things in the Noble Circle

This time, it is to summarize the Yedeng Rebellion.

After the cabinet reported to Zhu Qizhen, all the meritorious officials of this battle came to the capital to report on their work.

At this moment, Jiao Hong was still on the side of Wenyuan Pavilion, being questioned by the cabinet bigwigs. Many things were handled in a low-key manner during the war.

It's just because of the situation.

It's not that it won't be dealt with.

At least Yang Pu was not happy.

Yang Pu is honest and self-controlled, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. Many people followed Xie Huai's crimes, and now they will be investigated one by one.

Of course, after all, it passed. It's not good to be guilty of two crimes.

But the officials who have been blacklisted will find that they will be transferred to remote places, and a petty official will die. Don't say anything about the future.

Guo Deng came to the Wuying Hall and saluted: "Minister Min Xibo Guo Deng pays a visit to Your Majesty. ”

"Excuse me, sit." Zhu Qizhen looked at Guo Deng and felt that Guo Deng was a little more majestic than before.

After all, speaking of the entire peaceful war, Guo Deng was the actual main general in the later period.

Prior to this, although Guo Deng was excellent, he had not yet been in a position. But now, Zhu Qizhen feels that Guo Deng is enough to be a major general in any aspect.

The attitude towards Guo Deng is naturally much closer than before.

Zhu Qizhen asked, "How is Wei Guogong's health?" ”

Guo Deng said: "When the minister came, he passed through Nanjing, and Wei Guogong was already bedridden. ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "Hey, Wei Guogong is still so young, how can he be like this?" ”

Wei Guogong was only in his twenties, but after the rebellion, he suddenly fell ill. I don't know if it's because he presided over the war and put him under a lot of pressure.

Although Zhu Qizhen didn't like Wei Guogong very much, he felt that Wei Guogong had a bit of a corpse meal.

But from a closer look, Wei Guogong was ordered to preside over the rebellion, although there was nothing surprising about what he did, but at least there was no big chaos.

Now after the five great princes, Dingguo Gong is a person who does not know the importance of the Chengguo Gong, the British Duke is a heavy general, and the Qianguo Gong is less than ten years old. Even less available.

Although the performance of Wei Guogong did not satisfy Zhu Qizhen, the title of Wei Guogong was enough for him to take on some important responsibilities.

Something like this happened, leaving Zhu Qizhen speechless.

Although Wei Guogong has no son, he has a younger brother, and there is no shortage of heirs. Otherwise, it would be like the current Wudinghou family, a lot of troublesome things.

Recently, Wuding Marquis Guo Xuan has not been done, lingering on the sickbed, it has been several days, Zhu Qizhen asked the doctor, and the doctor has already said that he can prepare for the future.

But Guo Xuan's aftermath is not easy to handle.

Wu Dinghou's problem is simply a confused account.

The current Marquis of Wuding, Guo Xuan, inherited

There is a problem with the title itself.

Wuding Marquis Guo Ying died in the first year of Yongle, his eldest son and second son, both died in the Jianwen period, the eldest son not to mention, the second son died in the battle of Jingnan.

He was ordered to defend the city of Sizhou, and as a result, the city's Chinese and martial arts were surrendered. He couldn't stop it, and he committed suicide with a suicide note.

During the reign of Taizong, in order to win over the founding nobles, Emperor Taizong married the founding nobles, and several daughters were married to the founding nobles, such as the Xining Hou family, the Qianguo Gong family, and the sons also married many daughters of the founding families

Guo Xuan's sister married Emperor Renzong and became a concubine. Guo Guifei's pillow style allowed Guo Xuan to inherit the title.

This caused great dissatisfaction within the Wudinghou family.

Because Guo Xuan is the second son of Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding.

Neither the elder nor the talent can talk about him.

Among them, I have to say that an old birthday star is the eldest princess of Yongjia.

The eldest princess of Yongjia is the daughter of Emperor Taizu.

Now in the clan, he is almost the longest, after all, the generation of Emperor Taizong has almost gone. She married Guo Ying's son-in-law, Guo Zhen.

When Zhu Qizhen had just ascended the throne, she went to the court and asked the Marquis of Wuding to transfer the title from the second son to his son Guo Zhen, because Guo Zhen was the eldest son.

At that time, the Empress Dowager wanted to calm down, so she pressed this matter.

Now Wu Yinghou Guo Xuan is seriously ill, and he can't do it when he sees it.

The dispute over the succession to the Marquis of Wuding, which had been pressed, was set off again.

Guo Xuan is not dead yet, and the eldest princess of Yongjia is here, so Guo Xuan is dead. Start running back and forth, to set things right. And Guo Xuan knew that his body was not good, so he naturally tried some methods and connections to leave this title for his son.

Anyway, the fight is a mess.

Even the Empress Dowager Sun said something about this matter.

Empress Dowager Sun meant to be on Princess Yongjia's side.

I don't know if it's because Empress Dowager Sun accepted Princess Yongjia's money, or if she wants to oppose Emperor Renzong's decision. 、

This is actually a dilemma.

If according to the etiquette law, Guo Zhen is the eldest son and grandson, so he is naturally the heir to the title. And Emperor Renzong has already ruled that Guo Xuan will inherit the title.

This is the struggle between imperial power and etiquette.

Even if Zhu Qizhen thought about it a little more, it was easy to think of the great ceremonial dispute between Emperor Sejong and the dispute between Emperor Shenzong and the crown prince, and then look at the matter in front of him, this is simply a rehearsal.

Zhu Qizhen let Guo Xuan inherit the lineage, which violated the etiquette law. But let Guo Zhen inherit the lineage, that is, to slap Emperor Renzong's face, and to slap the face of any ancestor of the Ming Dynasty is actually to slap Zhu Qizhen's own face.

For this matter, Zhu Qizhen really didn't want to intervene.

But if it drags on, it's likely to get bigger and bigger. After all, this question is inherently topical, and it is too suitable for borrowing the topic to play.

However, now Guo Xuan has not swallowed his breath.

Zhu Qizhen can still be regarded as not knowing. When Guo Xuan breathed, he had to make a judgment.

Zhu Qizhen even thought: "It is also a good way to let Guo Deng inherit Wu Yinghou." As soon as he thought of this thought, Zhu Qizhen's heart suddenly lit up, but he found that it was too suitable.

In terms of Wenchen, Zhu Qizhen has never been too worried about the lack of success. But in terms of military generals, especially those who can lead the army, Zhu Qizhen is already worried.

Zhang Fu is already seventy years old, and Cheng Guogong is a little younger, and he is also fifty or sixty. And Baoding Hou Mengying is a few years younger than Zhang Fu, and she is more than sixty.

They are all of the same generation.

According to the model that Zhu Qizhen wants to continue, that is, to put a national minister in the cabinet. Maintain the influence of the Cabinet over the nobles.

But Guogong is not so easy to be, after Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong's group of people go, it is impossible for the inherited Guogong to have the ability of their fathers.

And Guo Deng is now in his forties and in the prime of life. With some experience, he may be able to hold this position, but the problem is that his knighthood is too low.

It's just a Min Xibo, and he can't convince the public.

If you want him to be promoted from Fujian Xibo to Guogong, I don't know how many battles he has to fight. After all, for the sake of the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen is knighted, even if he releases water, he will not release too much water.

But Guo Deng's inheritance of the Marquis of Wuding is different. The title of Marquis of Wuding is old enough, and he doesn't even need to be crowned as a prince of the country, he is qualified to be the head of the generals.

This thought suddenly popped up, and Zhu Qizhen pressed it down first. This is a matter that needs to be carefully considered. I asked about the Fujian Health Center.

Guo Deng didn't know that so many thoughts flashed in Zhu Qizhen's heart, so he naturally talked honestly about the matter of the Fujian Health Center.

"In accordance with His Majesty's will, the minister has abolished the Fujian Xingdu Division, and now the Fujian Guards have 16 guards and 22 thousand households."

After Zhu Qizhen heard this, he immediately said: "Wait, I remember that the Fujian Capital Division was originally the Sixteen Guards and the Twenty-two Thousand Households, could it be that after the Fujian Xingdu Division was abolished, you even abolished the guards below?" ”

There are also several health offices under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Xingdu Division. A few also have tens of thousands of horses. Although it is estimated that most of them are empty.

Guo Deng said: "There is no way for the minister, but now the minister can maintain the sixteen guards and twenty-two thousand households, which is already quite difficult." ”

"There is a shortage of people in the Fujian Health Center."

Zhu Qizhen frowned slightly.

Guo Deng immediately said it as it was.

Only then did Zhu Qizhen discover that a large part of this vacancy was caused by the fact that Zhu Qizhen could release the soldiers from the army.

When most of the soldiers heard the news, they couldn't believe it.

But there are bold people who dare to eat crabs, and the rest of the people find out that it is actually true, so they naturally run away in an uproar.
