Chapter 285: Compensation for B-book

  Chapter 285 B Scroll Compensation

   Royal Study Room.

   "Your Majesty, Prince Zhongshun is here to see you."

   "Lao Jiu is here? Let him in." Emperor Yonglong was still flipping through the articles on the Zhongshu table without raising his eyes.

   There was a sound of slapping boots, "The younger brother knocked on the emperor's brother."

   "Well, sit down." Emperor Yonglong was still very close to his brother, and motioned for a seat.

A servant brought a spring stool, and Prince Zhongshun was not too polite. He sat down and saw that Emperor Yonglong was still perseveringly reading through the memorial. He couldn't help saying: "Brother Huang still needs to pay attention to rest. If there are some chores, you might as well leave them to the cabinet... "

   "Hmph, are those people in the cabinet trustworthy?" Emperor Yonglong didn't raise his head, "I don't have the relaxed mood like my father,..."

   "That can also be handed over to King Shou..." As soon as the words came out, Prince Zhongshun knew that he had made a mistake.

   Sure enough, Emperor Yonglong raised his gaze, "Why, what did Zhang Chi say in front of you again?"

   Zhang Chi is the name of King Shou.

  Prince Zhongshun secretly repented. Emperor Yonglong disliked his own sons and royal family members making friends with nobles, but he supported these princes and civil servants making friends.

However, King Shou has always been very friendly with Prince Zhongshun, and Emperor Yonglong also knew that Emperor Yonglong was relatively at ease with his own younger brother, but he also knew that his sons wanted to use Prince Zhongshun to stabilize their position in his heart. No prince was established.

   "Brother Huang misunderstood. King Shou came to my mansion the day before yesterday and said that Brother Huang thought that Chunwei would have a palace test and had worked so hard during this time. He was worried about his health..." Prince Zhongshun hurriedly explained.

   "Hmph, I know my body well,..." Emperor Yonglong's face softened a little, "But Zhang Chi is filial, I know it."

   "It seems that the emperor's mood is not bad. The day before yesterday, the minister presented this match,..." Prince Zhongshun saw that Emperor Yonglong was in a good mood, so he also picked up some pleasant topics.

"Well, I didn't expect that there would be such a turmoil in this grace banquet, I didn't expect that Li Tingji's farewell words would actually cause such a thing, but I like this pair of confrontational words very much." Yong Long The emperor smiled, "If you don't see through the barriers of righteousness and benefit, how can you be a human being; you must know the characters of loyalty and filial piety, then you can read. It's very well said, and the world's scholars should be like this. The words are simple and very close to my heart."

  The word loyalty and filial piety really touched the heart of Emperor Yonglong, and the word "reading books" has a profound meaning. To master the scholars in the world is to master the world. This artistic conception is really satisfactory.

  Although the text is a bit shallow, it doesn't matter, the key lies in the meaning.

"Brother Huang, is this son the author?" A few days ago, Emperor Yonglong also handed an article to Prince Zhongshun in his study. It was not signed, so it should have been sent by the Ministry of Rites, and it should be the scholar of Jinke. The writing is simple, but the content is very rich. Prince Zhongshun felt that he should have captured his brother's current state of mind, so he gave it to himself.

   "Well, it's just one person, you should know who this son is, right?" Emperor Yonglong nodded.

"Your brother now knows that he is Feng Qin's nephew." Prince Yizhong showed a look of reminiscence on his face, "The battle of Hulun Sai was the most thrilling experience for my younger brother. Help, the emperor's brother is indeed very blessed, but I'm afraid the younger brother will not be so lucky,..."

"Hmph, how can there be so many blessings? If Feng Qin hadn't come to save him desperately, I'm afraid you and my brother would have been in danger." Emperor Yonglong showed a gloomy expression on his face, "I still doubt it until now. That battle, how could it be such a coincidence, you and my brother are so secretive about patrolling the border, why did they happen to meet the main force of the Tatar bandit rangers?"

  Prince Zhongshun was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, it has been more than ten years, and many things are difficult to find out, so it is not appropriate to go over it again, and don't make another disturbance."

"Hmph, I know." Emperor Yonglong waved his hand, "I won't be so unwise, it's just that I've been harboring doubts all these years, like a pimple in my throat, and I can't vomit. Feng Qin died in that battle, and Feng Qin had no heirs. My younger brother failed to seize the title, I am afraid that the Feng family also has complaints in their hearts."

Prince Zhongshun also knew the situation at that time. It was still during the period when his father was in power. Originally, the court could not afford too many military honors, so he deliberately cleaned up a batch of martial arts. Brother, but according to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the beginning, only heirs can inherit the title, otherwise a special decree can be used to inherit the title.

At that time, the father only asked his younger brother Feng Han to take over as the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, but he did not let Feng Han take over the title of Uncle Yunchuan. Feng Han was asked to inherit the title, but before the decree came down, Feng Han died of illness, and then Feng Tang took over, and the court only gave him a miscellaneous name, General Shenwu, and no one mentioned the matter of Uncle Yunchuan's title .

  Prince Zhongshun was also silent.

The family either died in battle or died of illness and took office, but the imperial court made such small thoughts in order to save the little salary. How can this reassure Wu Xun who is fighting in the frontier?

"The court did a bad job of this matter. Even in front of the emperor, I dare to say that." After a moment of silence, Emperor Yonglong pondered and said: "Feng Qin is loyal to serve the country, and the horse is shrouded in leather. I intend to posthumously award him Hulun. Hou."

  Da Zhou Zhong, Yi, Xiao, Shou and other characters are generally used exclusively by the royal family, and are not easily awarded, so the general names of military honors are selected for the place.

At the beginning, Uncle Yunchuan, this Yunchuan was also the name of a place where the Feng family fought with the Taizu, because the Feng family became famous because of this battle, so after the dynasty established the country, Uncle Yunchuan was named, but The Feng family has been fighting in the frontiers, but they did not attack because of their military exploits. It was not until Feng Qin and Feng Han that such a thing happened.

  Prince Zhongshun was taken aback. Posthumously conferring Marquis Hulun means that the Feng family intends to take over the nobility.

The problem is that the Feng family seems to have a family with three bedrooms and the second bedroom is extinct, and Feng Ziying is the only one in the third bedroom, and now that he has passed the second-class Jinshi exam, he obviously wants to take the civil service path, and it is impossible to attack the Marquis of Hulun again. Bar?

   Unless the Feng family finds a son in the distant house of their hometown to attack the noble, this is obviously impossible.

   But these are the affairs of the Feng family themselves. The court only needs to show such a gesture to appease Feng Tang, who is still guarding the border in Yulin, and Feng Ziying, who is currently a second-class Jinshi.

   "The Feng family must be very grateful for the emperor's kindness." Prince Zhongshun hurriedly said.

"I don't need them to be grateful, but I just feel that the imperial court owes them something. It has been delayed for a decade or two, and I owe them a little." Emperor Yonglong was in a good mood, "This Feng Tang didn't expect a warrior to give birth to such a Such a good son, it's amazing."

"Hey, I'm a little moved by the compliments of the emperor's brother..." As soon as Prince Zhongshun spoke, he was interrupted by Emperor Yonglong: "Old Jiu, don't mention this matter again, you still keep those nieces of mine. Find another house, this Feng Ziying is still useful, don't break the rules."

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have clear regulations not to allow sons-in-law to participate in politics, the civil servants are extremely disgusted with the royal family and foreign relatives participating in politics, so the Great Zhou has always been that you want to marry the princess princess, which basically means that you can only do some idle work Well, don't come to the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Secretary of General Administration. You can go to the clan's mansion to do it.

  Prince Zhongshun heheed a few times, and stopped talking.

  Actually, he also knows that he has just won the second-class Jinshi, so how could he find your royal family? Wouldn't that be self-defeating? Even the princess might not be able to do it.

   Well, to be precise, no one would marry a member of the royal family as long as he passed the Jinshi examination.

  However, it can also be seen from this that the emperor attaches great importance to this Feng family son, and Prince Zhongshun is also thinking about it. If there is a chance, he can see him well.

Shou Wang sells well in front of himself all day long, but I need to mention something. Instead of spending time on him, it is better to make friends with these scholars with great future prospects. Willing to make friends with these princes.

   "Is there any movement from the boss?" Closer to home, Emperor Yonglong also put away all his thoughts and got down to business.

"It's pretty safe." Prince Zhongshun hesitated for a moment, "However, Zhang Mina has been quite active during this time, going from house to house, and has contacts with Niu Jizong and Liu Fang, and recently he has also been with Chen Daoxian's son Chen Yejun. Close contacts, um, Shui Rong recently invited Mu Tan for a talk, and Mu Tan Tuo is still ill."

  Zhang Mi is the son of Prince Yizhong, and also a junior who has been studying with Emperor Yuanxi. It is said that he has a literary talent and is quite accomplished in poetry and poetry, and he is also well received by scholars in the capital.

   "Well, the boss gave birth to a good son, but isn't it good to recite poems and paint? It is also a pleasure to be a rich and idle person for a lifetime."

  Emperor Yonglong snorted softly. Why did the boss ask his son to come forward and make all kinds of troubles? How could he not know?

  But what if you know? Can I prevent this son from making friends with these scholars?

   I hate that none of my sons can match this Miwen's talent, so I will be imitating Dongshi.

   "I'm afraid that big brother still wants more." Prince Zhongshun also smiled lightly, "There are always some people who are greedy and dissatisfied. It's actually nothing, as long as the father..."

"Okay, don't talk too much, father has the thoughts of father, we are sons, as long as we are in our positions, shoulder our own responsibilities, and do what we should do well, father is old , some things don’t need to disturb him.”

  Emperor Yonglong interrupted his younger brother, so there was no need to continue this topic, he had his own plan.

   Do you still have a monthly pass?
