However, the troubles of the ministers are far more than that.

Now the bigwigs in the cabinet are still arguing about the emperor's insistence on giving Xiao Ruxun the title of Duke of Canada, which makes the cabinet ministers anxious and panicked.

Generally speaking, it is normal to win a battle and be knighted, there is nothing to say, the ministers are also planning rewards and knights for the meritorious ministers this time, and they are also planning to give Xiao Ruxun something to reward, and they are planning to discuss with the emperor.

But the main thing is that the emperor's request is very excessive, for Xiao Ruxun, he not only wants to add the title of Duke of Guo, but also the title of Duke of Qin, don't you say this is a mess?

According to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Taizu founded the country, and Xu Da, who had the highest credit, was also the Duke of Wei.

According to the good name, it is difficult to become an ancestor, and the highest credit is the Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of Chengguo.

Xiao Ruxun's credit is high, but can it be higher than Xu Da's founding credit? Can it be higher than the blue jade fishing sea to break the Northern Yuan Dynasty?

It's not going to be to the point of Qin Guogong, right?

Qin is the least favorite country of the Confucian people, but it cannot be denied that Qin is the strongest of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms, and it is the final victor who finally stood out and unified China after hundreds of years of chaos.

There is a king of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, which is according to the blood relationship, the patriarchal law is above, and the ministers can't control it, but you can't mess around with this hero, you have to have a difference between relatives and relatives! You can't do whatever you want!

Qin is the heaviest of the titles, Xu Da didn't get the title of Qin for so much credit, and he didn't get this title for the founding of the country, but you have to give Xiao Ruxun the title of Duke of Qin, which is ......

You must know that when Taizu did not give Xu Da the title of Duke of Qin, in fact, there was also a reason why Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, had been the Duke of Qin, and there was a taboo, so later in the Song Dynasty, those who became Duke of Qin were all children of the clan, and those with foreign surnames took the initiative to avoid it.

Yuan, let's not talk about it, the Barbarian Dynasty is not worth mentioning, our Ming Dynasty is the orthodox Han family in the Central Plains, of course, it must be in accordance with the orthodox rules, you give him a title that the emperor once titled, what does it mean that you don't have points in your heart?

Zhu Yijun means that Xiao Ruxun beheaded hundreds of thousands of enemies for the Ming Dynasty, annihilated countless enemy troops for the Ming Dynasty, repeatedly turned the tide, and was a famous general of the Ming Dynasty.

If such a great credit is not given to a national prince, does it make the people of the world think that I treat the heroes harshly?

People all over the world think that Da Ming treats heroes harshly, and they are all scolded! It is also the emperor who loses the hearts of the people! Not you!

He was given the title of Qin not because of anything else, but because he was born in the Xiao clan of Yan'an, Yan'an was ceded to Qin by Wei during the Warring States Period, and belonged to the territory of Qin State, and it was a matter of course to give him the title of Duke of Qin, what else do you have to say?

The cabinet ministers bit to death that "Qin Guogong" was the title that Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, had been given, and those who were ministers of the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains in later generations should not accept this title, otherwise they would not be ministers, and it was not what those who were ministers should do, so they did not accept the emperor's opinion.

Zhu Yijun was unhappy.

Do you have the final say, or do I have the final say?

Are you emperors or am I emperors?

I said he was my courtier, he was, I said you were rebellious, you were!

Do you have enough room for you to talk nonsense? Is this world still not my world?

What to see? Look at me unpleasant? Come on, come on, I'll cut it down, and who of you will be the emperor, okay? Then you're up and down!

was so angry by the emperor, the ministers of the six cabinets from Shen Zheng were sweating like rain and like white paper below, and hurriedly knelt down and said that they didn't dare, and kowtowed, Zhu Yijun snorted coldly and told them to get out, and the ministers retreated.

After returning to the cabinet, the ministers were still terrified, Shen Li wanted to find a sense of existence, so he said with a black face that the emperor must not let Xiao Ruxun be named the Duke of Qin, then the world will be chaotic, this is not reasonable at all!

Cai Guozhen also shook his head again and again and said that it was impossible, he thought that this matter was not in line with the etiquette system, and the reward for meritorious service should be formulated by the ministers and the Ministry of Rites, and then by the emperor's holy judgment, and now the emperor will directly ask Qin Guogong if he doesn't say anything else, which is simply contempt for the patriarchal law!

Shen Cheng squinted at Cai Guozhen.

"Why didn't you say it when His Majesty asked?"

Shen Li and Cai Guozhen were stunned by this and immediately stopped talking.

Then Shen looked at Song Yingchang.

"Song Butang, what do you say?"

Song Yingchang looked embarrassed, twisted his beard and frowned: "Xiao Zhennan's meritorious service is indeed unprecedented since he became an ancestor, beheaded 100,000, beheaded 300,000 captives, and within ten years the northern captives will no longer be a problem, if such a great merit is not rewarded, the criticism of the people of the world is indeed beyond our means, but this Qin Guogong is really ......."

Although Song Yingchang admires Xiao Ruxun very much and supports Xiao Ruxun to go further, the title of Qin Guogong is really a bit arrogant.

Shen Yi looked at Song Yingchang, then looked away, and looked at Yu Jideng again.

"Yu Butang, what do you say?"

Yu Jideng stroked his beard with a dissatisfied face: "Your Majesty, this is also too rash, the title of the Duke of Qin, Tang was just the most beautiful before, but Tang Taizong once lived in the Duke of Qin, at that time it was a clan, and later it was the emperor, how can the emperor be given a title to someone with a foreign surname?"

The greatest contribution of our Ming Dynasty is that the Duke of Wei has made the Duke of Guo and the Duke of Cheng, the merit of the open state of Wei has not been able to be crowned the Duke of Qin, although Xiao Ruxun's merit is great, but it will not reach the point of the Duke of Qin, if you have to seal the Duke of Guo, the Duke of Zhao can also, the Duke of Yan can also be, but the Duke of Qin cannot. ”

Shen Yi nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhao Shiqing, the secretary of the household department.

"Zhao Butang, what do you say?"

Zhao Shiqing was promoted by Shen Yiyi, so he naturally understood what Shen Zheng meant.

"Not to mention that Qin Guogong is arrogant, but to say that Xiao Ruxun sent people into Beijing to offer prisoners with such fanfare, isn't it too arrogant and domineering? It is gratifying to win the battle, but there is a storm in the city, everyone is talking about it, and they are praising him Xiao Ruxun, is this what he wants?

He is only twenty-eight years old, he has become the Marquis of Zhennan, he has been the governor, he has commanded more than 100,000 troops, and now he is going to be crowned the Duke of Qin, this is a top title, if he still makes meritorious contributions in the future, what else can he reward? Now it's so arrogant, and when you really become the Duke of Qin, how arrogant will it be?

Also, if the group of arrogant soldiers under his command follow his example and are arrogant and presumptuous in front of us, then should we bow our heads and accept him? ”

Cai Guozhen said again: "Don't say anything else, Your Majesty wants to crown him the Duke of Qin, this matter is not only about our ministers, how should those nobles be treated?" Wei Guogong's family guards Nanjing, not to mention it for the time being, what does Dingguo Gong's family think? What does the Chengguo family think? A twenty-eight-year-old child is about to step on their heads and become the first noble of the Ming Dynasty in the blink of an eye, which is a bit too much, right? ”

This was to the point, and all the bigwigs nodded again and again.
