Chapter 542: On Meritorious Deeds

Zhu Houzhao's temperament has a bit of contempt for the law of etiquette and doing whatever he wants.

This point is not only Zhu Houzhao's usual words and deeds, but also from the time when he ran to drink the wedding wine with great interest when Qian Ning took a concubine, so Xu Xun was so determined to ask for praise for stuffing snow, and assigned many Lehu women to those meritorious soldiers, this move can be agreed and even supported by Zhu Houzhao. At this moment, he waited for such a sentence, and immediately laughed.

"If the emperor is here in person, he can naturally do this, but the minister's ability is limited to this."

"Then you might as well be Wang Yue, when Wang Yue went to the Qin Palace, he returned with all the pleasure of the King of Qin!" Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows proudly, then looked at Liu Jin and said, "Liu Jin, when did you become so conformist, good things should be praised and promoted, I am afraid of what others will say!" ”

Liu Jin saw that Xu Xun successfully attracted Zhu Houzhao's support with two words, although he was angry, he had to squeeze out a smile on his face. However, when Xu Xun began to ask for credit for a large number of soldiers in front of him, and even mentioned Jianpo Guard, he finally couldn't sit still and couldn't bear it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Pingbeibo said so much, but he missed one of the biggest heroes?" ”

"Huh? Who is missing? Zhu Houzhao raised his head in amazement, and saw Liu Jin smiling and snorting in one direction, he looked sideways, and then suddenly slapped his face and said, "Xu Xun, how did I forget that you are the biggest hero!" You went out to patrol the border this time, firstly, you defeated the prisoners, and secondly, you quelled the Zhu rebellion, which can be said to be a great contribution. Let me think about what I should reward you! ”

Xu Xun didn't expect Liu Jin to suddenly turn the topic to himself, and now seeing Zhu Houzhao thinking about what reward to give with great interest, he should obviously be happy, but he instinctively felt that Liu Jin would not be so kind. Fortunately, at this moment, Latham's voice came from below.

"Your Majesty, Long Live Mountain has arrived, do you want to go to the island?"

Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a moment when he heard this, then happily got up and said, "I haven't been to Qionghua Island for a long time, Liu Jin, Xu Xun, you will accompany me to the Guanghan Palace!" ”

There are two Banzai Mountains in the Imperial City of the Ming Dynasty, one is located in the north of the Forbidden City, Jingshan, which is mostly called the Coal Mountain by the people outside, and the other is the Qionghua Island on the Taiye Pool. Since the Liao Kingdom, this has always been the royal garden, after the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming dynasties, although the highest point is only a few tens of meters, but the strange stone peak is transparent and saggy, strange flowers and plants compete to bloom, plus the surrounding is the huge liquid pool, creating a general feeling of Penglai fairyland.

In particular, the Guanghan Hall on the Long Live Mountain was rebuilt from the Liao, Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and as soon as he stepped into it, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but stretch a big lazy waist.

"If it weren't for the inconvenience of getting in and out of here, I would have lived here!"

Although Xu Xun used to go around in Xiyuan, there were few people who came to Qionghua Island, and it was the first time that Guanghan Hall had set foot in it. In the seven halls, in front of the hall is a jade rockery, the four corners of the top of the hall are hung with jade bells, the breeze blows, and the bursts of light sound are crisp and pleasant. In the center of the hall, there is a large jade sea of desecrated mountains, and in front of the twelve jade screens on the north wall, there is a five-mountain jade couch, and even the center of the desk is inlaid with a huge white jade. In addition to these, all the furniture and furnishings look either green jade or white jade, which is more and more cold, and it is just a summer resort.

"The emperor said this, and the minister also felt that it was just right to escape the heat in the summer."

"Summer heat, after all, this Guanghan Hall is a long time, so it is not as good as the Taisu Palace." Liu Jin interrupted Xu Xun with a slight smile, and then said to Zhu Houzhao in a welcoming manner, "After all, the Taisu Hall was built by the Ying Temple, using tin, known as the Summer Cool Palace, which is the most warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is on the north bank of the Taiye Pool, which is closer to the inner school field." ”…,

"It's not like I haven't been to Taisu Palace, when the seventh sister lived there before, I was so annoyed to go!" Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "It's still the best leopard room in me, it's on the edge of the inner school field, if you want to practice military horses, you can practice military horses, and if you want to swim in the liquid pool, you can swim in the liquid pool...... Ahem, the two of you have diverted the topic, and just now I was talking about what reward to give Xu Xun! ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Xu Xun with a smile as he spoke, and suddenly the corners of his mouth lifted: "Speaking of which, your earl was still sealed the year before last, right?" I want to be the // fastest text update // It took a lot of effort for the boss, and the hereditary iron coupon was also issued to you for a long time, this time, I have to mention your title for nothing, this Pingbei Marquis three words, it sounds more majestic! ”

Liu Jin smiled and interjected on the side: "The title that the emperor personally thought of is naturally majestic enough. It's just that the slave maid thinks that Pingbeibo has built a lot of great and small credits over the years, and a single Hou is really not enough to repay his credit. Not to mention anything else, how many marquis in the capital now have a few merits that can be compared with Pingbeibo? The slave and maid said a fair word, in the foreign officials, Li Dongyang, the cabinet is a civil official, and in the internal officials, the slave and maid were lucky to take the lead because of the emperor's favor, and Pingbei, an earl, when the court meeting was scheduled for the position, it fell to the old man, and the slave and maid felt unfair even if they thought about it. ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect this at first, but at this moment, he was teased by Liu Jin like this, and he immediately thought that he really had to look behind his eyes for a long time to find Xu Xun at the court meeting in the past, and his brows furrowed for a while. And Xu Xun saw Liu Jin's smile on his face, as if he had sold him a big face, and he couldn't help but secretly scold Liu Jin for being cunning.

How old is he, if he is really a national prince, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not be able to explode? Even those military ministers who had befriended him before would definitely have a grudge against him because of this, not to mention that there were many civil officials who did not deal with him in the first place. Moreover, once the title of Duke of Guo is sealed, what reward will the little emperor give in the future, then he can't think of it after racking his brains, and at that time, even if Zhu Houzhao is still as good as ever, others will bring out the truth that there is no reward and no reward.

So, in the face of Zhu Houzhao, who was extremely excited, his brain spun rapidly for a while, and he immediately said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Liu means good, but I don't say that the minister is deserved, and now, there is another obstacle." You must know that my father is still Xing'anbo, according to the practice of the imperial court, if the minister's title is promoted by one level, my father must also be promoted by one level, if it is according to the proposal of Gonggong Liu, I am afraid that as soon as the emperor proposes it, the court will explode. ”

Yes, Xu Liang is Xing'anbo, and Xu Xun's title was obtained because of his military exploits, and it has nothing to do with the pioneer Xing'anbo. This family already has two counts of father and son, and they can't let their father succumb to their son, Xu Xun is a marquis, Xu Liang naturally has to be a marquis, if Xu Xun is a prince, Xu Liang also has to be mentioned up, this time there are two more princes in the court, and the ministers must not follow!

After Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but hold his chin and fall into deep thought. And where could Liu Jin not think of this, and immediately said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about this, there was a precedent in the past, when Jing was difficult to divide the heroes, the first generation of Wu'an Marquis Zheng Heng was knighted when his father was still there, and his father was knighted and Zheng Hengtong." This is the precedent of Yongle Ye, how dare others say anything? Besides, Xing'anbo's beloved son is famous all over the capital, and he doesn't even renew the strings for this reason, if he is really afraid of the noise of hundreds of officials, he will combine the two titles and two iron coupons into one, and the dukedom of this country will be stable! ”

has also known Xu Xun for several years, Liu Jin knows Xu Xun's temperament, he is clever when he should be tricky, he is alert when he should be alert, and he is cautious when he should be cautious...... All in all, it's a slippery loach, and it's harder than anything else to catch a loophole. However, although An Weixue did something bad in Ningxia, the idea he came up with was really good. You must know that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many princes who have been sealed out one after another, but only a few have survived to this day. Even those who have made great military achievements like the British Gong Zhang Fu inevitably do not understand military power and specialize in planning important military affairs, in other words, they are confessed. …,

Xu Xun should be promoted to a marquis this time, if he is also a marquis with his father, he will simply have two titles and one duke, so that many civil officials in the court must also be happy to see it!

And under Liu Jin's smiling gaze, Xu Xun saw that Zhu Houzhao was greatly moved, and his heart was terrible, and he said after a turn of thought: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Liu's idea seems to be good, but it is not so fair to the descendants of the ministers. Chen is still young now, but he already has a daughter, and he will definitely have a son in the future. If there is only one son, there is naturally no problem in inheriting the title, but if there are two sons, one inherits the title of the prince, and the other can only rely on grace, how big is the gap! My father is reluctant to do so, one is to love me and protect me, and the other is to leave the title to his grandson. ”

When it comes to his loving father, Zhu Houzhao can't help but think of his deceased father. Thinking that his father was the queen mother in his life, and the most uneasy thing when he returned to the west was also the queen mother and himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xu Xun's thoughts were reasonable. The Duke title of Guo looks like the limelight, but the two marquis can make the descendants more stable, but such a calculation is really rare for a young person like Xu Xun, he immediately couldn't help but tilt his head and ask: "If Sister Shen gives you all daughters, and no one inherits this title, or simply gives you ten or eight sons, what if you don't have enough points for this title?" ”

Xu Xun's face turned green by Zhu Houzhao's previous assumptions, and he quickly coughed dryly: "The emperor thinks too far, and the minister has an advantage, that is, he only thinks about the good and never thinks about the bad!" ”

"You, you, you!" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but step forward with his hands behind his back, sat down on the Wushan jade couch, and said domineeringly, "It's not you who mentioned it, I forgot one of the most important things." You gave your daughter's name in advance, but I promised Sister Shen to give her a small letter. Now we are in the Guanghan Hall of Qionghua Island in the Beihai Sea, and we look at all the beautiful jade, so we simply take the word Qionghua as a small character, how about it? ”
