Chapter 451: The King's Stubbornness
In the sound of drums, the mighty guard of honor goes first; Then there were 500 cavalrymen in gold armor, four horses in parallel, the horses marched in a neat pace, guiding the chariots of His Highnesses, slowly driving towards the capital, followed by 100 officials on foot, and then 500 cavalry...... The momentum is extremely huge.
The people of the capital, one after another, helped the old and the young, watched along the street, and witnessed the demeanor of several highnesses, and also knew that this was a triumphal ceremony for several highnesses.
This is the purpose of Boss Zhu's arrangement of this grand ceremony, which is to let the world know that the son of Emperor Hongwu has grown up and can lead troops to fight, and he has won the battle!
The procession entered the capital in a mighty way, passed through the left gate of Chang'an, and stopped in front of the noon gate.
Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to the morning gate to accept the symbolic sacrifice of prisoners, and listened to Zhu Zhen read out the speech of the prisoners.
Then the emperor gave a decision on the disposal of the captives on the spot. According to the actual situation, 20,000 captives will be executed for the most heinous crimes, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be released, and the young and strong will be integrated into the army.
After the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Boss Zhu held a banquet to celebrate the victory with hundreds of civil and military officials......
~~
After the banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned his brothers in the Qianqing Palace.
Boss Zhu praised them first, and then asked the sixth man who had been pulling his face: "What's the matter?" Think your father's ceremony for you is not grand enough? That face was pulled like a dead man. ”
"Father, the sixth child is unwilling to change the title of King Wu." The prince explained with a wry smile.
"That's right, father, it's very inappropriate for you to change the title for me and my fifth brother." The sixth child has been holding back until now, and he can finally say loudly: "What do people in the world think of my fifth brother?" What do you think of me? We also want to be faced, okay! ”
"Good guy, the wings are really hard, dare to argue with Lao Tzu." Zhu Yuanzhang is in a good mood and is not as knowledgeable as him. "But the boy thinks too much, we are not trying to reward you, but to send you drudgery!"
"There have long been many people who are tinkering with the resealing of the fifth child. We know what they're thinking. Don't you just want to let one of your acres and three-points of land have the final say from the prince of the old Zhu family? Boss Zhu snorted coldly and said:
"These things this year also show that the gentry in Suzhou are suspicious and have no law! Give them a chance, and you have to do something. Don't you just think that no one is pressing on your head, and you can be the emperor of the soil yourself? We just don't let them get their wish! ”
After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "However, Lao Wu is good at Qihuang and not good at dealing with people, so it is not too difficult for him to not only suppress those ghosts and ghosts in Suzhou, but also protect the taxes of the imperial court, and even increase the income of the imperial court?" ”
"That's right, how can I have so many eyes as you? can't cope with such a tricky situation," the fifth brother also persuaded from the side: "So, as soon as my father said it, I agreed." Someone can take over this drudgery for me, and it's too late for the fifth brother to be happy. What's more, you are the one who will replace me. ”
"Yes, Sixth Brother, we all know that you are a good brother, Righteous and angry," the eldest brother pressed the head of the Sixth Brother, who had been looking up at the sky at forty-five degrees, back to the horizontal line, and said softly: "But the Prince of the Ming Dynasty is not only a glory and power, but also a heavy responsibility." Father's need to measure to apply, understand? ”
"That's right, otherwise why wouldn't my father let you be a king like us? Isn't it because your kung fu skills in riding horses and fighting are too inferior? The third brother and the fourth brother echoed:
"We don't have your economic skills, so it's not good for my father to let us go to Suzhou."
"Look, you have a lot of face," Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to the sixth child, reached out and pinched his fleshy cheeks: "Your brother's persuasion is enough to give you the stairs down, right?" You can always say yes now, right? ”
"Say yes!" The brothers said in unison.
"......" However, after thinking for a moment, the sixth seed still refused: "I don't." ”
"Gan Linniang, Lao Tzu gave you face, didn't he?!" Boss Zhu's patience ran out, and as soon as he pulled his face, he raised his hand and was about to hit him.
"Father's anger is at ease." The prince hurriedly stopped and said, "Let's listen to what the sixth brother has to say first." ”
"If you fart, let it go!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a sullen voice.
"Erchen just asked, did I make a great contribution this time?" The sixth man craned his neck, looked at the old thief fearlessly, and said, "Isn't my Ming rule a reward and punishment?" ”
"You have two questions," Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, but he still didn't feel angry: "You have made some contributions, and of course you will be rewarded if you have credit." ”
"Is this how my father rewarded his sons?" The sixth child asked loudly: "I was originally the king of Chu, but I suddenly changed my title to the king of Wu, and people in the world will not say that the amount of the father and the emperor is applicable, but will only say that I, Zhu Laoliu, am ruthless and unrighteous, stepping on my brother to take the throne!" ”
"What's more, it's still the fifth brother who has taken care of me the most since I was a child, if I rob his King Wu, who will really treat me well in the future? Who can trust me anymore and be genuinely good to him?! ”
After a pause, Lao Liu said stubbornly: "This is the bottom line of my life, and I will not change even if I die!" ”
"......" The fifth brother's tears came down, biting his nails and sobbing secretly, this younger brother didn't hurt in vain.
The fourth brother, who had been blackening his face all the time in the "sixth ......", finally showed a relieved smile. After knowing the news of the fifth and sixth children's resealing, although he expressed his support, it was only because the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and he didn't want to embarrass his dear sixth child.
But the fifth child is also his biological brother, he has protected the fifth child since he was a child, and how can he not feel awkward when he sees the fifth child being wronged?
"......" After listening to the words of the sixth child, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was a little pale, and he finally put down his hand and said: "What you said is also a little crooked, but what happened to King Wu?" I don't think it's necessarily as good as King Chu, and it's not as good as the title of King Zhou. ”
"In other dynasties, King Wu is indeed inferior to King Chu, and even less than King Zhou, but in this dynasty, no title can compare to it!" The sixth looked at the old thief with a semi-literate look and said, "Father forgot who the previous King Wu was?" ”
"Who?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a good airway.
"Father is a god." The prince smiled bitterly.
"Oh, of course we know, we're making this kid confused." The corners of Boss Zhu's mouth twitched: "One reason why those literati want to change the title of Lao Wu is that we have been the king of Wu, which is easy to make people think about it." ”
"But isn't that nonsense, in the gentle township of Suzhou, which is drunk and gold-obsessed, it can't rebel in a hundred years!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "So this King Wu is an ordinary title, don't think too much!" ”
"Besides, although the change of seal has not yet been officially announced at the court meeting, we have already informed the Zhongshu Province and remade the golden book and gold seal for you. As soon as our Chrysostom comes out, we can't change around, then it will be too slippery. ”
"So, you're going to go." Zhu Yuanzhang warned the sixth man with the most ferocious eyes: "If you are strong, you will have to serve the family law!" ”
"Come on." The sixth man leaned on the ground, pouted his ass high and said, "I've said my bottom line." What is the bottom line of change? ”
