Chapter 886: Wen Cheng

The emperor praised him for his kindness, bestowed gold, silver and jade articles, and ordered Li Shanchang and his son to go outside Kunning Palace to express their gratitude.

Li Shanchang was already a little tired at this time, but he still managed to maintain his energy and led his son. Under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he bowed down outside the Kunning Palace and read loudly: "I hereby express my gratitude to the saint.

The heaven and earth determine the dignity and inferiority of the law, and the yin and yang are matched to determine the high and low. Therefore, the establishment of religion, establishment of governance, and the establishment of the Yilun Law are to serve the world. The ministers are sincere and frightened, and their heads are bowed. Her Highness Fu Wei, the empress, worships the emperor's dignity, is strict and submissive in the land, and calms all the nations of Xianning. This sincerity

The mother-in-law of founding a foundation will be remembered forever!"

"For example, if I am a good minister, I will follow the emperor Chen around and flatter him to no avail. I am vigilant day and night. This is the grace of He Sheng. I don't think of my son Qi's foolishness and mediocrity. I have given the princess the title of Kangli. I am so proud that the auspicious time is around the corner. I would like to order my son."

When Qi arrives, he will kneel down at Yi Que Gate and wait."

The emperor and the empress praised him for being good, and the female officer prepared Jinjue wine and fruit. The emperor was dressed in regular clothes, and the empress Yan was dressed in home clothes. After being enthroned, Princess Lin'an came with a phoenix crown and Zhai robes. The female officer poured wine with the prince, and immediately gave it to the princess to drink.

The next day, the prince-in-law received the ceremony of offering sacrifices, and the grand master Li Shanchang and the prince-in-law Li Qi went to the ancestral hall in sacrificial robes. The next day was the wedding ceremony for the bride, and the princess wore the Yanju crown to pay homage to the empress's concubine in the east palace.

All the married ladies watched the ceremony, went out from the east gate of the palace to the west gate, got on the small chariot and went to the right gate. Princess Lin'an descended the chariot. Li Qi, dressed in auspicious clothes, personally unveiled the curtain for the princess. The princess lifted the sedan chair, and there were fourteen female attendants on the sedan chair.

, the dress is embellished with silk flowers on the gauze hat, a gold square robe with flowers on the chest and back, gold and silver peony garlands on the middle, soap boots, and thirty-six female musicians.

The prince-in-law goes first from the west corner gate of the Meridian Gate to the place where the horse is mounted. After mounting the horse, he goes to the mansion first and waits for the princess to arrive. The princess lifts the curtain and lowers her sedan chair to visit the ancestral hall together.

After the worship, there is the wedding ceremony. In the evening, the wedding ceremony is performed. In the morning, the emperor pays homage to the prince-in-law. In the afternoon, he meets his uncle and aunt. For the next ten days, there are rituals every day.

The tenth day is the last ceremony. The prince-in-law goes to court. He first pays homage to the emperor and the empress, and then pays homage to the East Palace. After finishing the meal in front of the East Palace, the East Palace sends a decree to give the prince-in-law a black gauze hat, a gold belt, a silk robe, a pair of boots, and two saddles and horses. The prince-in-law expresses gratitude.

.

This is the ceremony for the emperor's daughter to get married, and this should be the case from now on.

…………

In September of Renzishuo, the ninth year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu, who had always been strong and healthy, suddenly fell ill with high fever and polydipsia. Empress Ma personally took care of him. The prince supervised the country's administration during the day, and served decoctions without taking off his clothes at night.

Things finally got better after half a month. At this time, the King of Jin and King Chu in the vassal territory had just rushed back to the capital. Lao Zhu was quite pleased with this. After all, it took a long time for the news to reach their vassal. It can be seen that he rushed back without stopping under the stars and the moon.

.

Zhu Biao is also happy to see success. After all, his father is a man who loves his children very much. Being able to see his son who has not seen him for a long time after recovering from a serious illness will definitely be beneficial to the recovery of energy and spirit.

However, in comparison, a certain new prince-in-law and his father, who is becoming increasingly out of character, are a bit ignorant. They just married a princess, but they had no words to express when they were suffering from a holy illness.

The imperial censor, Zhongcheng, reported: "I heard that your envoys were courteous, and your servants were loyal to you. This is the passage between ancient and modern times. Your Majesty, your majesty, was ordered by heaven to kill all the heroes and conquer the four seas, and to establish a peaceful rule for the sake of the people. It has been nine years now.

.”

"Since the righteous army's eastward journey, the foresight and far-sightedness of the country and its people have all been based on the solemn determination of the Holy Spirit. As for those who braved the frost and dew and braved the cold and heat to attack the bandits in order to expand the territory, it is all the work of the generals and not the planning of the civil servants.

, and the whole family in the world, we will reward you for your merits. When Li Shan is promoted to the title of Tai Shijue or above, he will be honored as a king, and his life will be as high as civil and military honors!"

"I have recently ordered my son, Princess Qishang, to build a house on the left side of the main house to live in. The Holy Instructions earnestly enunciate, and I ordered the princess to perform the rites of women and the elders and children to talk about Yilun. Your Majesty, the ancient sage king Sheng Xinyun is the best, and the kindness

The sheep who have always been favored by the country are stupid. Your Majesty ignores those who come to court because of their illness. You will not greet them for ten days. You are so disrespectful and disrespectful as the ancients. Your horse-in-law Li Qi did not come to court for six days. He announced that there was no half-son in the front hall.

This shows that the filial piety of the good leader is not practiced in the family law. Whatever he does, it is a disgrace to the king. How can he be loyal? Please pay the judge to correct his crime, so that the father and son of the good leader can be spared their crimes!"

After the early impeachment, the government and the public were in an uproar. Li Shanchang and his son knelt outside the Meridian Gate to plead guilty, and the current Prime Minister Hu Weiyong and others knelt outside the Jinshen Palace to plead for mercy. This situation made Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu look at each other in surprise.

Zhu Biao frowned and said: "It is the son-in-law's wish not to allow the Lin'an couple to enter the palace to attend to the illness. There is no shortage of them in the palace to get in the way. Li Qixian does not hold any court affairs. If he is not summoned, there is no need to go to court early. As for Li Shanchang, he will not go to the memorial hall."

It’s indeed a bit wrong to say hello, but after all, he is a veteran official, so he shouldn’t cause such an uproar.”

"Is this what Hu Weiyong meant?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion was a little sallow, but his eyes were still as sharp as ever. He looked outside and said: "Li Shanchang's stay in the capital is beneficial to Hu Weiyong. It is impossible to say that the old guy did it himself."

"It has long been seen that he doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth now. He has the same virtue as Liu Bowen, for fear that we will stay in the capital and watch under our noses, hum!"

This makes sense. Zhu Yuanzhang was about to go with the flow and remove him from the position of grand master, and then cut his salary by several thousand dan. Zhu Biao stopped him and said: "If big crimes are not punished, the law cannot be established. If minor offenses are not forgiven, no one can be punished."

After all, Li Shanchang is the founding minister of the country, so why not just let him have his way? His excessive and overthinking problem has not lasted for a day or two."

"What's more, even if my father doesn't care about his merits, he still wants to think about Lin'an. It's hard to be criticized. Not long after the princess's first marriage, her father-in-law's husband was dismissed from office."

"Our daughter will have her own royal palace to live in and be pampered."

Even so, the anger of the disease subsided. You Qi thought that Li Shanchang was much older than him. With his old age and weak mind, he wanted to stay away from the waves and made a faint move. It was not impossible.

Be considerate.

In this way, the impeachment of Yushitai was retained, and some treasures were rewarded. Shanchang and his son burst into tears with gratitude...

………

In the spring of the tenth year of Hongwu, the remnants of Tubo robbed Wuszang's tribute envoy Gong Ge Suonan and sent their heads to the Ming Dynasty. The emperor was furious and ordered the Duke of Wei Deng Yu to be the general for the expedition to the west, and the hussar general Zhang Cundao to be the deputy general to lead the army to conquer Tubo.

In April, the army vowed to go out and led its troops to Gansu. It was divided into three groups and launched an all-out attack on Tubo. There was no strategy and no main attack. After Deng Yu ensured the logistics supply, he let the army crush him all the way.

past.

He invaded the hinterland of Tubo in one fell swoop, chased the remnants of the enemy to the Kunlun Mountains, captured tens of thousands of troops, and plundered 5,000 horses and 130,000 cattle and sheep, without even leaving Uzang a chance to sway.

King Pazhu, who only saw Uszang, was frightened. He gathered the tribute treasures again and sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty to express his loyalty. As for other forces that were originally affiliated to the Ming Dynasty in Uszang, they all became quiet and roused themselves to expand their own power.

Influence.

When the good news was delivered to the capital, the Holy Sage was overjoyed and gave him a red python warm robe and a jade belt.

But at this time, Liu Bowen, who had been ill for more than a year, reported to his son Liu Lian that he was terminally ill and might not die soon.

After Liu Bowen returned to his hometown from Sichuan, he only drank wine, played chess, and did not talk about his achievements. He was not allowed to see him in court, so he went to the barbarians in disguise.

After surviving the eight years of Hongwu safely, Zhu Benben thought that just like Chang Yuchun, everything would be fine, but he did not expect that he fell ill after all. It can be seen that Liu Bowen's body did have problems. I remember that in the sixth year of Hongwu,

An imperial doctor who rushed to Sichuan for medical treatment also said after he came back that he was seriously ill when he was young and had lost his vitality. It was difficult to cure him with medicine and stone, so he would not live long.

Lao Zhu probably didn't expect that this minister he had disliked all his life would actually leave this time. On the one hand, he sent an imperial doctor to Qingtian, and on the other hand, he ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for his death in accordance with the Duke's regulations.

Before the imperial doctor arrived, Liu Bowen passed away. The next morning at court, Zhu Yuanzhang personally sealed his coffin and concluded: "Sincerity Hou has learned a lot from heaven and is a man, with both civil and military talents. His spirit is upright, his talents are vast, and he can gallop in discussions."

Throughout the ages, in times of turmoil, I have been able to control one side."

"When Kang saw Yu, he first set out the strategy, compiled the outline of the state, and deployed troops first. If you can say it, I can review it and use it, and the style has been suppressed to this day. All the suggestions have been effective."

Zhu Biao added: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, he laid out the king's principles, was loyal and prudent, and was an outstanding minister."

After three days of imperial edict, he was given a posthumous gift to the Crown Prince and Grand Master of the Imperial Academy of Guanglu. He was posthumously granted the title of Duke of Chengyi. In order to stabilize the people and establish government, he was named Cheng. He was given the posthumous title of Wencheng and was entitled to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
