Chapter 309: He Fu and Song Sheng
It is very brain-consuming and time-consuming to tinker with Zhu Biao's pursuit and sealing Yun Wei, Yun Xi, and Yun Xi as the prince, and Yun Xi is no better than when he just came out of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the things in the court have to be dealt with, so I feel very tired.

It's easy to canonize three brothers, and the four younger sisters will also be canonized as princesses. Yun Xi felt that according to the ancient rites, since she was a princess, she should be canonized with a country, province or provincial capital, and Zhu Yuanzhang posthumously crowned her two sisters with titles of Taiyuan Eldest Princess and Cao Guo's eldest princess, her eldest daughter, the only child born to a real Queen Ma, was also crowned as the princess of Ningguo.
But now there are so many names to canonize, and there are only thirteen provinces, and the same is true for provincial capitals.
Yunxi then sealed the title with the two-character feudal country of the Han Dynasty, and added Zhu Yunying, the county lord of Jiangdu, as the eldest princess of Jiangdu, Yunlan as the eldest princess of Zhongshan, Yunyun as the eldest princess of Changshan, and Yunzhi as the eldest princess of Huainan.
Cao Xing, the former lord of Jiangdu, was naturally promoted as the commander of the horse.
Speaking of which, fortunately, Daming didn't have the princess of Yunxi's grandfather at this time, otherwise I really don't know what to call it. The emperor's aunt is called the eldest princess, the emperor's sisters are called the eldest princess, and the emperor's daughter is called the princess, and there is really no title of the emperor's aunt.
After finishing the work of several sisters to seal up, Yun Xi was thinking about sending envoys to envoy 5, and at the same time he had to start preparing for the dispatch of troops, but there was one more important thing than this that must be done now, that is, the three princes who had already had a feudal country were officially sealed.
Speaking of which, since Yunxi officially succeeded to the throne last year, the court has been agitating this matter, and now everything is finally ready and can be sealed.
Of course, Yun Xi asked the people of the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the ceremony of sending the three princes to the seal, and at the same time, Song Sheng and He Fu, who had rushed to the capital not long ago, and these two people who were going to be the left ministers of Qin and Min in the future, were invited into the palace to meet.
Because Song Sheng and He Fu have been officially appointed as the left prime minister of the feudal state after all, and they can be regarded as foreign ministers, the matter of arranging for them to enter the palace to see the driver still has to be arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette, and Yun Xi just waits in the Qianqing Palace.
When waiting for Song Sheng and He Fu to see each other, Yun Xi remembered that the Ministry of Rites was still really busy during this time: from the first month of the first month, he first saw the envoys of the vassal country, and then the ministers feasted and ordered the women's banquet, and then he was ready to worship the heaven and earth, and then Yun Xi worshiped the ancestors, and then Yun Xi posthumously crowned Zhu Biao as Taizong, and then Yun Xi added his brothers and sisters, and now he has to arrange things with the three vassal kings, which is really busy, and the New Year's holiday is basically equal to nothing. Let Yunxi feel a little guilty about the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
But Yun Xi immediately figured it out on his own. The Ministry of Rites is also busy during this period of the New Year, usually except for the imperial examination, the rest of the time is idle and painful, they wait for the three vassal kings to finish arranging the affairs of the feudal lord and then have a long time to rest, so Yun Xi does not feel guilty about them.
Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, didn't know that Yun Xi had turned such a turn in his heart just now, and when he saw Yun Xi, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, He Fu, the left minister of the Min domain, and Song Sheng, the left minister of the Qin domain, have arrived. ”
Yun Xi nodded and said, "Announce them in." ”
Chen Di was stunned for a moment and asked, "Which one will come in first?" ”
Yun Xi said: "Since they are all here, let's announce it together!" ”
Chen Di didn't ask anymore, went out and brought the two left ministers in, and then retreated by himself.
After He Fu and Song Sheng came in, they immediately knelt down for Yun Xi and said, "The minister Song Sheng (He Fu) has seen Your Majesty. ”
Yun Xi heard the words and said, "Don't be polite. The two of them kowtowed again before getting up.
Yoon-hee looked at them. He Fu and Song Sheng have also met, but because they have been guarding the west for a long time, they have only met a few times.
Now Yun Xi looks at them, Song Sheng is in his fifties, he has been fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang since his father's time, Hongwu was a commander in the early years, although he has not been knighted, but he is also a general; He Fu is younger, about a little over forty now, and he is also an important military general in the Mesozoic Era of the Ming Dynasty.
Yun Xi first exchanged a few words of greeting and asked how the children in their family were doing.
Song Sheng said: "Your Majesty, the minister has three sons, the eldest son is in the right guard of the government army as the commander of the Tongzhi, and the second son and the third son are in the northwest. ”
Yun Xi knew that his eldest son was an official in the capital, but he still pretended to be surprised and said: "It turns out that General Song's eldest son is in the capital, and I don't know very well. Then he said: "Last time, Liu Zhen, the commander of the right guard of the government army, also praised the commander of their guard, and Song Xuan was a very talented person, could it be that he was the eldest son of General Song?" ”
Song Sheng still bowed his head and said respectfully: "The son of the minister does not dare to be praised by Lord Liu. ”
Yun Xi praised a few more words, and then stopped talking.
Then he talked to He Fu again. He Fu's family is relatively simple, with only two sons and one daughter, because of the perennial war, the marriage is late, and the children are still young, so Yun Xi said: "General He's children are now in the capital with their mothers, right?" The barbarian land in the southwest must be difficult to deal with at first, so General He might as well leave the child in the capital and ask a famous teacher to teach. ”
He Fu dared to say a word, so he could only agree. But now that Yun Xi has spoken, the future of his own children is estimated to be no different.
Then Yoon-hee got down to business. Yun Xi said: "The two generals are all from the west of Jiuzhen, and the places where they go to the left are places that they are already very familiar with. ”
"I have never been to the northwest or southwest, but I also know that the land there is barren, and most of the people are unruly, and most of them are people, and there are many rebellions from one side to the other."
"Although the King of Qin used to guard Chang'an, he was always some distance from the real northwest; Although King Min guarded Kunming, he was younger and had never fought. Therefore, the affairs of these two feudal kingdoms will be left to the two of you. ”
He Fu and Song Sheng naturally immediately knelt down and said, "How dare you be Your Majesty's please!" How dare we not do our best! ”
Yun Xi asked the eunuch to help them up this time, and then continued: "If the King of Qin and the King of Min have something wrong with the handling of the war, the two of you must try their best to persuade them. ”
"In addition, there is also the right minister appointed by me, although he is not a pedantic person, but he also knows no soldiers, and he doesn't have to pay attention to any opinions they have when they are fighting."
"I also know that civil officials always like to talk about what to convince people with virtue, and although the civil officials of our faction are not pedantic people, they also have the habits of some civil officials. But they don't know that the people of Fanmin are different from the people of the Ming and Han dynasties, and naturally they can't use the same methods to fight a war. Your thunderous tactics are as they should be, and you don't have to pay attention to them! ”
He Fu and Song Sheng listened to Yun Xi's words and secretly thought in their hearts. Although Yun Xi seems to trust them very much, he just said that what they don't have to pay attention to is the words of the monarch and the right minister at the time of war, which means that when there is no war in peacetime, I am afraid that even matters related to the army cannot ignore the words of the king.
What's more, Yun Xi also asked their children before, although it was right for the general to leave his children in the capital, but he also felt bad. But they will never say it.
Yun Xi said a few more words and let them go down.
Then Yun Xi called his cronies, Yang Shiqi, a member of the Zhongshu House, and said: "Go to draft the decree and be promoted to the commander of the right guard of the government army, and Song Xuan, the commander of the same knowledge, as the commander." ”
Yang Shiqi took the order.
Yun Xi called Qin Song again and said to him, "You go and investigate He Fu's two sons carefully. I have heard that his eldest son is also seventeen years old, so you can go and arrange for someone to find out, and if it is still possible, let me know. Yun Xi thought that if He Fu's eldest son was still successful, he would make up for the twelve guards, and then watch and pick into the martial arts hall.
In fact, He Fu and Song Sheng had some misunderstandings. To say that the previous one of their speculations is still reliable, Yun Xi is not only afraid of civilian interference in the war, but also afraid of the military generals doing their own thing. The northwest and southwest are extremely far away from the capital, and he can't reach it, and it is estimated that it will take two months to know if there is a real matter, and it is always important to take precautions.
But the latter guess was wrong, Yun Xi didn't mean to keep the hostages. Yun Xi may be because he has watched too many shady TV series, and there are many examples in history, he always feels that there is little point in keeping a hostage, and people who really do big things don't care about children, so his words don't mean to keep hostages.
Yun Xi really just wants to praise their children, and then give their children some promotions to show that they value it.
In the final analysis, they still don't have much contact with Yun Xi and don't understand Yun Xi's way of doing things. If only Yun Hee's cronies wouldn't have misunderstood it like this. Yun Xi once personally took the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and pointed to the paragraph where Liu Bei threw the child and said to his cronies: "Look at this Liu Bei, he only had a son when he was over forty years old, and in order to buy the general, he didn't even care about the child, it can be seen that there is a type of person in the world who doesn't care about anything for his own purposes." ”
Yun Xi also once pointed to the "Historical Records" in which Liu Bang said similar things about throwing his son and daughter out of the car twice in order to escape for his life, and he thought that the car was running slowly, so Yun Xi's cronies all knew that Yun Xi did not believe in hostages.
And with Yun Xi becoming the emperor, someone inquired about every word he said, so most of the officials in the capital knew that Yun Xi didn't believe in any hostages.
It's just that Song Sheng and He Fu were too short when they were in Beijing, so they didn't know. However, Song Sheng's eldest son Song Xuan has been in Beijing for a long time, and he knows it, so he will not be misunderstood.
By the way, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" because Yun Xi likes to watch it very much, and after adapting it according to "Three Kingdoms", it can be seen as a deleted version plus a translated version and a story version of "Three Kingdoms", so now all officials in the capital have one or even several copies, and even ordinary rich families like to keep one at home.
And this hobby is still slowly spreading outside the capital, so "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has sold more than 100,000 copies, even if the original carved copper movable type is estimated to be almost able to return to the original, the sales volume is second only to the official designated books for the imperial examination, Luo Guanzhong walks every day is beaming.
At this time in history, Luo Guanzhong was already terminally ill and not far from death, but now he looks good and is not sick at all, and he still writes the opera of law popularization every day according to the typical cases on the "Great Message", contributing his own strength to the construction of a rule of law society in the Ming Dynasty.
==========================================================
He Fu returned home to talk to his wife, Xu. After sitting for a long time, I heard the little maid come to report, "Master, Master Gu Cheng is here." ”
He Fu immediately went out to greet him. When Gu Cheng saw He Fu, he exchanged a few words, and He Fu pretended to complain: "I've been in the capital for a few days, and none of you old friends have come to visit me, which really makes me sad!" "He Fu and Gu Cheng were both military generals in the southwest before, and their relationship was very close.
Gu Cheng punched him and said, "What are you still pretending to be in front of me?" You're not transferred to the capital. Who in the capital doesn't know that you are the king of Minguo, and you have a bright future. ”
"Since you are still an outsider, and you are such an important outsider, how dare we come to visit you before Your Majesty receives you?"
He Fu also knew that Gu Cheng was right, and he was not talking. Speaking of which, it is still Yun Xi as the emperor, and the deterrent power of civil and military officials is much lower than that of Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise, they would not dare to say the conversation just now, even if it is in their own homes.
Then they went into the living room to talk. Gu Cheng is much older than He Fu, he is sixty years old this year, but his body is still very tough.
While drinking, the two chatted about the affairs of the capital, especially He Fu's inquiry about Yunxi. Gu Cheng is the capital of the 30th anniversary of Hongwu, and it has been more than a year now, and he is good friends with He Fu, so He Fu asked him.
Gu Chengcheng cautiously said some of Yunxi's ways of doing things, such as being generous to his subordinates, being familiar with the people's feelings, being more approachable and so on.
Of course, since it was a friend who asked, the shortcomings naturally have to be said. For officials, Yunxi's low tolerance for officials to deceive, low tolerance for officials to fool him, stubbornness, and so on are all shortcomings. However, it has little to do with the generals, so the generals generally have a good sense of Yunxi.
Gu Cheng mentioned some of what Yun Xi had said by the way. The rest of He Fu heard about it, but when he heard Yun Xi talk about Liu Bang throwing the child, he paid attention.
He Fu didn't know how to read, so naturally he hadn't read "Historical Records". But he likes to listen to books and watch plays, although there is no such paragraph in the middle of the play about Liu Bang, but he still knows Liu Bang as a person. Hearing that Yun Xi took out Liu Bang to explain that he didn't believe in protons, he knew that he had misunderstood Yun Xi's meaning.
He thought about it carefully, and felt that Yun Xi had the intention of promoting their family, and immediately felt embarrassed: he actually misunderstood the emperor's meaning, and he really deserved to die!
Gu Cheng was very familiar with him, so when he saw that his complexion had changed slightly, he asked what was wrong. He Fu naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he said that he was worried that he was not in the capital, and his eldest son was seventeen years old, so it was time to say goodbye, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to find a good family if he was not there.
Gu Cheng immediately said: "If you can trust me, brother, I will find you a relative." Of course, if you look at each other or your younger siblings, you will also write to ask you what you mean. ”
Of course, He Fu wouldn't disbelieve him, so he said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask my brother." ”
Of course, Gu Cheng patted his chest and agreed. Then the two said something more, and Gu Chengcheng said goodbye and left. Although they drank a lot of alcohol when they left, they all drank a little too much, and Gu Cheng's entourage didn't dare to let Gu Cheng ride back, so they found a car to go back.
