Zhu Biao turned around and received another imperial edict. This was for Fu Youde and Wu Xun. They all said that after the founding of the country, the emperor abandoned generals and valued civil servants. Now it is to let everyone know that the court will still reward meritorious deeds. Any violation will be punished.
Zhu Biao said in a deep voice that the former general Fu Youde, Duke Ying of the State of Ying, accepted the order and carried it to the emperor. The imperial edict said: "My pillar, the general of the State of Ying, Fu Youde, is heroic. He seizes tigers fiercely. His command is astonishing. He stirs up wind and thunder and wins by surprise." , The enemy is like a god, comparable to Han Xin; the discipline is strict, the officers and soldiers are loyal, comparable to Zhou Yafu; the mature and prudent; the long-term plan of the country, comparable to Zhao Chongguo!
Gao Kaidao doesn't care about anything, so he spread his armor and fought against Pohu, fought with his arms to capture Ezhu, and the majestic Huaizuo army defeated Luliang's victory. He used his force in the Central Plains, and his iron cavalry drove across thousands of miles. He denounced Western Shu, The false way of the Golden Bull has defeated several cities, either surrendering the king and destroying the country, or beheading the generals and raising the flag, which shocked Shuonan, and the barbarians fled, and the barbarians were devastated by it. , Yigai Tianjuan!
The virtuous people of the state should be celebrated, and the Duke of Ying State should be given a salary of three thousand dan. He should be promoted to Dr. Ronglu and Shangzhu State. He should be granted the title of Crown Prince and Grand Master. He should also be aware of the governorship of the capital. He should be given a certificate of immunity from death. His nobles and grandsons will be hereditary. The country rests together! "
As Zhu Biao uttered the last words, Fu Youde and Fu Youde, who were kneeling on the ground, burst into tears. Your kindness was as deep as the sky and as deep as the sea. These words of praise were enough to leave his name in history, even if it lasted hundreds or thousands of years. , as long as someone looks up the list of military generals of the Ming Dynasty, his name, Fu Youde, will definitely be at the top.
The eyes of the civil servants who were recording on the side were also red. It was their ideal to be promoted and make a fortune, and it was their tireless dream to leave a name in history. Now this warrior has done it. The Holy Spirit praised him for taking into account Han Xin, Zhou Yafu, Zhao Chongguo and other famous generals in history. Thousands of years later, Who dares to look down upon?
Fu Youde kowtowed and raised his hands in the air and said solemnly: "The last general will accept the order!"
After Zhu Biao finished reciting it, he was also extremely surprised. The praise for this decree was a little too much. He almost called Fu Youde the number one military general of the Ming Dynasty. It must be that his father deliberately beat some people.
Zhu Biao gently closed the jade shaft. The texture of the shaft of the imperial edict was strictly different according to the official's rank. The first grade was a jade shaft, the second grade was a black rhinoceros horn shaft, the third grade was a gold-plated shaft, and the fourth and fifth grades were black. Those under the horn axis are not qualified to receive imperial edicts. Civil servants receive rewards from the Ministry of Personnel, and military generals receive rewards from the Ministry of War.
Zhu Biao walked up to Fu Youde holding the imperial edict and solemnly placed it on his hands raised above his head. This edict will be enshrined in the Fu family in the future. The descendants of the Fu family will worship it every year, and officials from the Ministry of Rites will also conduct random inspections regularly. , if it is disrespectful or detrimental to the imperial edict, it is also a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Fu Youde stood up with the imperial edict in his hands and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. It was his duty to work hard on the battlefield, but he was a little unprepared to receive such a big praise. The officials behind Zhu Biao all congratulated Fu Youde. A few words.
After the reward was over, it was time to meet the former leader of the Great Xia Kingdom Mingsheng. Fu Youde followed Zhu Biao consciously, and a group of people came in front of the Xia Kingdom's royal family, princes and ministers.
The kneeling people were all crying, and the soft sobs were accompanied by the noisy and exciting triumphal sounds all around. This was the taste of victory. Zhu Biao looked at the leader of the Xia Kingdom who was indifferent and a little frightened. They were both similar in age. They were once the most noble young men, but now they are completely different.
Mingsheng raised his head and looked blankly at Zhu Biao, who was approaching step by step. Suddenly he didn't know what to do. A beautiful woman behind him pulled the hem of his clothes and said: "Sheng'er, please apologize to the Crown Prince quickly. Don't be stubborn." "Jiang, all the mistakes are my mother's fault, you have to live no matter what."
Zhu Biao stood silent and said nothing. The official from the Ministry of Rites behind him scolded: "How presumptuous! You still don't pay homage to me, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty!"
Ming Sheng's delicate face twitched slightly, he put his head on the ground sadly, and said hoarsely: "The guilty minister Ming Sheng, please see His Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Prince Qianqiu."
Zhu Biao recited: "All things are withered, but I am only fragrant. The flowers are golden and the millet is slightly yellow. Don't talk about small embarrassing things. The cold dew wind clears the fragrance of the earth. I often heard in Beijing that Lord Xia's virtue was pure and elegant and he loved poetry. This poem was written It’s indeed good, I hope Brother Ming will give you some advice in the future.”
Ming Sheng's eyes flashed brightly when he heard this. What he fears most is that after entering the capital, he will be imprisoned for several years and then die of illness. After that, the family will no longer have his wife and children. If the Ming Prince can take care of him...
Zhu Biao didn't say any more. He had no ill feelings towards Ming Sheng, but such a subjugated king could not escape the fate of Li Yu. However, if Ming Sheng could really keep his peace, Zhu Biao would also be happy to make a good story.
Zhu Biao took over the imperial edict and began to read it out. The first half of it was to denounce the Xia State's stupid government, which made the people miserable, and the founding king of the Xia State, Ming Yuzhen, to be self-reliant and disobedient to the king. The second half was to appease them, generally speaking. This means that you, the Ming family, have stolen the imperial power and are not worthy of the throne. The imperial court's attack on you is proof of this. You might as well wake up in time and surrender the whole country. Therefore, the imperial court canonized Ming and promoted him to the title of Marquis of Guiyi, and granted him residence in the capital.
The clan of the Xia Kingdom was naturally grateful. Ming Sheng presented the Xia Kingdom's jade seal, and Zhu Biao bestowed the marquis crown. With this ceremony completed, there was no Daxia Kingdom in the world, and the Ming Dynasty gained an additional Marquis of Guiyi.
After that, it took another hour to figure out everything. It was almost noon. A decree came from the palace, a banquet was given by the Holy One, and a group of people returned to the city in great force. The people around them were already tired. They all went back to their homes, and prepared to brag about what they saw today, otherwise it would not be in vain.
Zhu Biao asked Fu Youde to ride with him in the carriage. Fu Youde declined several times with fear before getting into the prince's royal carriage. The carriage started to move slowly, and the surrounding area had been cleared by soldiers and horses, so it was very smooth.
Zhu Biao looked at Fu Youde, who was tall and round, with a somewhat honest face, and smiled: "Why is General Mighty so nervous?"
Fu Youde had indeed made a lot of progress. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "It is already a step beyond the bounds to ride with the crown prince. How can I dare to be so presumptuous as a general?"
Seeing that he still couldn't let go, Zhu Biao smiled and asked a few questions about what happened on the battlefield and the Bashu war report. Zhu Biao had read it dozens of times, and he naturally knew what the key points were. The more Fu Youde answered, the happier he was. His Highness was all asking about him. The pride of this battle.
It's too easy to coax anyone with Zhu Biao's identity. When people below you praise you, it's called flattery, and when people above you praise you, it's called appreciation. The two are completely different concepts.
Fu Youde was invincible on the battlefield, but he was a bit honest off the battlefield. He was very similar to his son Fu Zhong. Fu Youde also talked about an incident: "The last general was roaming in the mountains and forests of Bashu, and the scouts hunted and captured many wild beasts. The general also shot two white tigers himself, just in time to present the tiger skins to the Holy Emperor and His Highness.
