"Assessing the title of Duke of the Kingdom, and adding the right army governor of the Five Army Governor's Office?"

Li Jinglong thought to himself, "This is a bit strange!"

The Governor's Office of the Five Army was too powerful at the beginning of the founding of the country, but was later separated by the old man. The main function of the current situation is not to manage the army in the world. It is an institution that allows the emperor to spare the Ministry of War and directly control the military power of the army.

Moreover, since the Huaixi nobles gradually withdrew their power, the governors in the Governor's Office of the Five Army were mostly empty positions, and they were commanded by the generals of various places. To put it bluntly, they had no right to have a title.

"Feng Cheng used to have a little power at first, but this time he has no benefits when he has risen openly and fallen secretly!" Li Jinglong said in his heart, "Can the position of Duke protect the wealth of the Feng family?"

"It is probably possible to keep it, as long as he doesn't do it! But, a duke's house without real power can keep the duke's hat? It's nonsense!"

Li Jinglong has a deep understanding of this point. To be precise, it is power without compromising. In ancient times, many extremely powerful ministers have lost their power, and the official chair under their butts have become torturous tiger benches.

At the beginning, Li Jinglong's father died young, and he, Li Jinglong, had also experienced the family trough. The Feng family was not his Li family. At least no matter how poor he was, he was also supported and favored by the Supreme Emperor. Later, he cursed the emperor and made a good move, so he can stand firm now.

"You are turning your eyes around, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Yunxiu noticed Li Jinglong's strangeness, "What's the point?"

"I am thinking... I am thinking about which day it will be auspicious day for the old king to be buried in peace!" Li Jinglong smiled, "Old King Feng is in his seventies, and this is a funeral. If you follow the rules of Huai land, you should set up a spiritual shed for a few days and then do it lively."

Zhu Yunxi knew that what he said was untrue, but he did not expose it. He continued to say seriously, "It's the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there will be another two or three days to celebrate the New Year. Please be more worried about funerals, don't have any trouble again during the New Year!"

"Don't worry, my elders, I will do my best!" Li Jinglong said hurriedly, "Emperor, this... the posthumous title of Duke Feng?"

"The founding military minister..." Zhu Yunxiu pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Wu Zhuang!"

The word Zhuang has a deep meaning, and it is strong and magnificent. However, it also means to use it to make a strong momentum and add color.

"It's peaceful, not too good, but it's not too bad!" Li Jinglong thought secretly again.

In fact, from this posthumous title, we can see the status of the ministers in the emperor's heart. Xu Da, Duke of Wei, Xu Da was Wuning, Chang Yuchun was Zhongwu, Tang He was Xiangwu, Lan Yu was Wuwei, his father-in-law Li Wenzhong was Wujing, and his father-in-law Deng Yu was Wushun.

The posthumous title of Wu Zhuang is more or less than these people.

Suddenly, Li Jinglong had an idea in his mind, "What posthumous title will I die in the future?"

Zhu Yunyu saw him in his eyes again and joked, "Are you thinking, what posthumous title will I give you after you die?"

"Ah..." Li Jinglong was pointed out and smiled awkwardly, "I......"

"I just said that Feng Shengxia of the Duke of Song Dynasty did not hide his merits. He was a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty. He made contributions to the country. He won the contributions of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, the second only to my grandfather, King Zhongwu. Later, he fought against Liaodong, and Fu Youde Lanyu had been his subordinate and made meritorious contributions. And what about you? Apart from your good fortune and two contributions in recent years, what else do you have?" Zhu Yunxiu said bluntly.

"I am a useless person, but I am fortunate to be loved by the emperor. I remember that I am grateful to you..."

"I don't want to hear this. I use you, Li Jinglong, not only because you are a royal relative, but also because you are an old man from the Eastern Palace. You also need to be strong by yourself. Since you are in a high position, you must plan for the prosperity of the country. Have you ever been alone in these years? Have you ever relieved me?"

This was a bit serious, and Li Jinglong couldn't stand it and looked nervous.

"To put it bluntly, the old Duke Feng was slightly flawed. First, the war in the second year of Hongwu to pacify Ganzhou and Shaanxi was unfavorable, second, the Hana from Liaodong competed for merit because of Duke Zheng, and third, because he secretly colluded with King Zhou."

Zhu Yunxiu hit Li Jinglong, "Even if there are three points, he is still ranked among the sixth founding kings with his military merits and has also been sealed by the general. What about you? Think about it carefully, even if you only commit the same of these three things, will this duke still wear the hat of this duke safely?"

Li Jinglong's back was sweating profusely and his face was pale.

The emperor's words directly reached his weakest point. The reason why Li Jinglong, as a hereditary Duke, was not tough among the nobles of Huaixi, was that he was a junior, because he had almost no military achievements.

Although he made achievements twice in Datong and made achievements outside the Great Wall, he was far behind the real military officials.

"If you don't talk about martial arts, you can give advice?" Zhu Yunxiu said again, "What have you done except letting the vassal state offer you so long?"

It would be fine if I didn’t say it, but the more I said it, the more angry Zhu Yunyu became, "I said it badly. If you put your mind on making money and interpersonal relationships in government affairs, you will not be as high as you are now."

"You can't always take over the good things in the world. If you want them to be truly convinced, you must have something admirable and achievements. Now, the old man who dies for the rest of his life, how can I rest assured if you don't stand alone?"

The reprimands and warnings made Li Jinglong sweat in a cold sweat, and he knelt down and said, "The emperor's words are like enlightenment, which makes me feel ashamed. I have been mediocre for more than 30 years and rely on the kindness of heaven to live in a high position. The superiors cannot serve the country and cannot share the worries of the emperor. This is actually unfaithful and unfilial."

"I don't want to hear these words!" Zhu Yunxiu continued to look at him, "I want to see you do things!" and sighed, "Get up, think about my words carefully. Should I be a wise minister who has been famous for all ages, or just a close minister around me? You can choose yourself. A real man should be determined in the world for a lifetime. He will be in the world in vain and will be a world of nothing!"

In fact, this statement is very tactful. If you think about the meaning in secret carefully, you will really warn Li Jinglong. Even if the old ministers in Huaixi are not as careful as they are not safe in their later years, their military achievements are there.

If you, Li Jinglong, will you be confused in the future and do what you shouldn't do, have a talisman on your body? Just because you are a relative of the emperor?

Zhu Yunxiu had long wanted to say these words, and he happened to take advantage of this opportunity today.

Now that he, the emperor, is in power, is about to make drastic moves to eliminate old problems and implement new policies, injecting different things into the old empire. Everyone around him must keep up with his emperor's ideas.

Those who can't keep up are destined to be eliminated.

Those who do not do things or do what they do, are destined to be kept away.

"Go busy!" Zhu Yunxiu glanced at Li Jinglong, "Remember, the wife and children in the first year of the junior high school went to the palace to wish the old man a happy new year!"
