There is Xiaoling Mausoleum on Zhongshan Mountain.
Empress Xiaoci of the Ming Dynasty is now buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum on Zhongshan, and the construction of the Xiaoling Mausoleum continues.
The construction of Xiaoling Tomb is a long-term and huge project.
As for the core underground palace, it cannot be said that it will not be truly opened until the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty one day. Finally, the entire underground palace will be completely closed. Finally, Xiaoling Mausoleum will continue to be built before it is completely completed.
A mausoleum of meritorious service was built in Zhongshan to bury the meritorious deeds of the dynasty and the soldiers who died in the army.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Qianqing Palace was stunned.
Zhu Gaochi turned his head expressionlessly. He was used to Brother Hei's random thoughts and ideas from time to time.
But he had to admit that once the construction of the Meritorious Mausoleum on Zhongshan Mountain was really started, and the meritorious service and fallen soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty were buried on Zhongshan Mountain and next to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, how much impact would it have on the court and the army? .
It is an honor to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after death.
Since the Han Dynasty, all dynasties have been honored to be buried in front of the emperor's mausoleum after death, and only meritorious ministers can get it.
Now once the decision is made on the Zhongshan Meritorious Tomb of the Ming Dynasty, how many people in the court can be expected to be buried with the Zhongshan Xiaoling Mausoleum after death.
This is a huge political influence.
Zhu Yunxi spoke softly: "Kings have been buried with them since ancient times, and they are all for the merits of famous officials. Before the Qin Dynasty, it was difficult to understand, but since the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were buried with them in the Han Wu Maoling. In the Tang Dynasty, clan members and meritorious officials were often buried with the imperial mausoleum. , Li Jing and Li Jici were buried in the Zhaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty; Zhang Huai, Yide and Shuitai were buried in the Qianling Tomb of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty."
There have been many imperial tombs in Guanzhong since ancient times, and since the Han Dynasty, each imperial tomb has always been surrounded by the tombs of heroes.
Zhu Yunxi added: "Therefore, I believe that the Duke's last wish is only two, which is to hope to return to Yingtian and fight for another forty years. However, people cannot be resurrected after death, and one of his last wishes will never be realized. It has been twenty-eight years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He has made great contributions and has countless veterans in the army.
The court is magnanimous and your majesty is benevolent and righteous. Although the imperial court has strict laws in recent years, it has never treated its meritorious officials badly.
[In view of the general environment,
There is the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zhongshan. If the Mausoleum of Meritorious Service is rebuilt and the meritorious servicemen and soldiers of the court are buried in a generous manner, they will be diligent and loyal to the king during his lifetime, and be buried with the imperial mausoleum when he dies. This will be a good example for the emperor and his ministers and set an example for future generations. "
Taisun's reason is very sufficient and pertinent.
Tang Xie didn't realize it and came to Beijing to report the funeral. The court seemed to be preparing to build a meritorious mausoleum on Zhongshan Mountain outside Yingtian City.
If it can really be done, wouldn't my father be the first Ming Dynasty meritorious serviceman to be buried in the Zhongshan Meritorious Mausoleum?
This is a great honor for the Tang family.
Tang Xie immediately knelt down again and clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, you are so kind to me. If my father can be buried in the Zhongshan Meritorious Service Mausoleum, it will be a great honor for my family. My father knows this well and will have no regrets in this life. I thank your Majesty for your kindness. I believe The Duke's office will carry out my father's last wishes in the future, be diligent in royal affairs, and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang patted the handrail lightly. He was not dissatisfied with Taisun's proposal to build a meritorious mausoleum in Zhongshan. Instead, he was already imagining that one day in the future, after he entered the Xiaoling Underground Palace, the mountains would be full of old friends, and there would be hundreds of people from the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers were buried together.
What happened after his death can be regarded as a rare thing for a king.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the boss sideways and said softly: "Prince."
Zhu Biao immediately turned around and said, "Father, I think the meritorious mausoleum is feasible. The court has gone through ups and downs over the years, and the meritorious veterans have also reached their sixtieth years. During their lifetime, the court gave them generous salaries to show their merits during their lifetime. After their death, they will be rewarded By being buried in the imperial mausoleum, the whole story of the emperor and his ministers will set an example for future generations."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily. This matter is related to his own affairs, and he can only do it well if his boss agrees now.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and said: "In all dynasties, as Yunxi said, meritorious officials were buried with them, but only military sergeants were buried with them. Although Zhongshan is huge, our Ming army has millions, and they are all buried in Zhongshan Meritorious Mausoleum. ?」
This question was obviously meant for Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Biao glanced sideways at his cub. It was obvious that this kid brought up the matter.
Yes, he has to resolve the old man’s concerns and doubts.
Zhu Yunxi took a step forward and said softly: "It is based on etiquette, and the princes and princes are different. Zhongshan is where the imperial mausoleum is, and the military flags and above can be buried with them. Soldiers who died in the battle can choose another place with good feng shui outside Yingtian City. Department, the government appropriated funds, the Ministry of Rites supervised the construction, and the Ministry of Works built it as a mausoleum for meritorious officials."
There is more than just Zhongshan outside Yingtian City.
Whether it is Jiangjun Mountain and Niushou Mountain in the southwest, or Tangshan Mountain in the southeast, they are all places with excellent Feng Shui.
"The tail vein on the southwest side of Tangshan Mountain can be the burial place for military officers and soldiers." Zhu Biao took a look around and said, "Tangshan Mountain and Zhongshan Mountain are north and south of each other. Zhongshan Mountain is the Pointing General Platform, and Tangshan Mountain is the place where generals are buried." It’s a military parade ground, and the location should be excellent.”
Zhu Yuanzhang felt more and more pleased, nodded and said: "Let the grandson discuss this matter with the cabinet, decide on the regulations as soon as possible, and submit them."
Normally, Zhu Yunxi would always accept the old man's instructions on the spot. But at this moment, there was obvious hesitation, and his eyes even looked at his father next to him indifferently.
Zhu Biao was also a little hesitant. It seemed that if something related to a grand ceremony was to be handled, it had to be done without making any mistakes, and it had to comply with etiquette in every aspect.
Just thinking about it, Zhu Biao smiled slightly: "Since His Majesty asked you to do it, then do it with all your heart. Now that there is nothing else to do in the court, you should do this well in the capital. This is for me. The meritorious people of the Ming Dynasty must be careful when handling their posthumous affairs, so as not to make any mistakes."
Seeing that his father said the same thing, Zhu Yunxi nodded.
He bowed his hands and said: "My grandson accepts the order and will never let his grandfather or father share his worries. I will resolve this matter with the cabinet so that my honor as a meritorious minister of the Ming Dynasty will not diminish after his death."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and then turned to look at Tang Xie in front of him again.
The emperor sighed softly and raised his hand: "Last year, when Dingchen came to the capital, I always felt sorry for him. I don't want to be separated from him now. Dingchen and I are like brothers. We will do our best in our last wishes after our death. Duke Xinguo's Mansion I know from my heart that I am loyal to the king. Dingchen has passed away. You should bear in mind Dingchen’s legacy. The imperial court will never treat the meritorious minister ill."
Tang Xie was already crying and his eyes were red.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness..."
Zhu Yunxi felt a little sentimental and stepped forward and whispered: "Uncle Tang, please go and have a rest. The emperor will issue the decree. When the decree comes down from the court, Fengyang City will finish the funeral affairs of Duke Xin. Send the ministers to arrange for Duke Xin to be buried in the Zhongshan Meritorious Mausoleum."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi gave Sun Gouer a look.
Today, Tang Xie entered the palace in the rain. In addition, Duke Xin passed away. He was deeply saddened. If he didn't rest properly, he might fall ill.
Sun Gou'er stepped forward lightly, asked Tang Xie for instructions, and took him out of the palace.
The rest of the people present were all members of the Zhu family.
Looking at the empty palace door, where Tang Xie's back had long since disappeared, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, his face looking a little more lonely.
"I still remember that Dingchen wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Huangjue Temple, and the news was leaked in the middle. It was very difficult at that time, and I also know that at that time, all the great projects of the emperor were far away. Ding Chen never thought about it, and neither did I.
We all grew up together when we were children. At that time, Ding Chen only thought that if I could join the gang, the brothers would be together and take care of each other, and then they would be able to have enough food.
Just to have a full belly and not be bullied. "
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became increasingly lonely, and his brows were filled with sadness.
Zhu Yunxi wanted to comfort him, but was stopped by the prince's father's eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Zhu Yunxi and the three people Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing in front of him, with a smile on his face.
"You guys, how do you know what the world was like back then? Ants can't even climb up the tree stumps on the road. Why? Because all the tree bark has been stripped off!"
"At that time, the Red Scarf Army had food, and Ding Chen had made meritorious service in the battle, and became a member of the Qianhu family in the army. That was a high official! Your grandfather, at that time, the biggest official he had ever seen was Li Zheng in the countryside.
I joined the Red Scarf Army and had to fight first in every battle. The commander-in-chief transferred me to the commander-in-chief's residence as an errand. At that time, I gradually had more ideas, and wanted to drive all the Yuan people out of the Central Plains!
Later, grandpa married your grandma and took her home. Grandpa also took advantage at that time, and within two years he reached the position of Zhen Fu, which was higher than Ding Chen. "
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, but the sadness in his eyes was more.
Zhu Yunxi and others' expressions darkened, knowing in their hearts that the old man was thinking about the imperial grandmother again.
If the old man had not been appreciated by Guo Zixing and had not married the imperial grandmother, he probably would not have been able to reach the position of governor in just two years. Then there would be nothing that happened later, and there would be no Ming Dynasty today.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "You all know what will happen next. So speaking of it, if it weren't for Ding Chen's letter, you bunch of naughty boys wouldn't know where they are now!"
Zhu Yunxi bowed and smiled and said: "Grandpa, everything is destined by fate. Duke Xin is at the right time. Now the mausoleum of meritorious service is about to be built. Grandpa and Duke Xin have created a good story about the monarch and his ministers. The cause of that day and the result of today can be regarded as complete. Understand."
Zhu Gaochi spoke up and said: "My grandpa suffered a lot in his youth and has gone through the vicissitudes of life, but he has ambitions and cares about the people. Letters to the Duke and invitations are just like the great ancestors of the Han Dynasty. I, the Ming Dynasty, love the people and it is fitting that we should sit in the Central Plains."
The compliments from his grandchildren slightly reduced the sadness on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
Zhu Shangbing, the only one who didn't speak, looked left and right, searching his guts, but found that he really couldn't say those words like Brother Xi and Brother Chi.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to notice the little move of the kid from the second family, and couldn't help but look over with a smile, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, wondering what kind of words the kid from the second family could say.
Zhu Shangbing was stared at by the old man. His back couldn't help but tense up, and his throat couldn't help but move twice. In the end, he couldn't hold back anything good, so he could only raise his arms and say, "Grandpa is destined to be the emperor!"
"..."
Everyone in the dormitory was suddenly stunned.
This is the second son’s cub!
Zhu Biao really had some inexplicable affection for his nephew, and he just felt that it made him very happy and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Okay! Grandpa is destined to be the emperor! He is supposed to lead the people of Ming Dynasty to live a good life!"
Zhu Yuanzhang burst out laughing. He had not shed tears when he heard the news of Tang He's death, but now he was laughing so much that tears squeezed out of his eyes.
Zhu Shangbing blinked, carefully put down his hand, and whispered: "I...did I say the wrong thing?"
Pumbaa.
Zhu Yunxi patted Xiaohan's shoulder hard twice and affirmed: "You are right! Grandpa is destined to be the emperor, otherwise where would you be..."
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi finally couldn't help laughing.
At that moment, everyone burst into laughter.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang coughed slightly and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Dingchen and I are brothers, so I decided to marry you to Tang Yatou. Now Dingchen has died in vain, and Tang Yatou gave birth not long ago. I'll tell her the news later.
You will be in Yingtian to handle the affairs of the Meritorious Tomb. The old brothers in the court are all in their sixties, how many years can they live? Even I dare not say how many years there are left.
Once this matter is done, don't let the hero leave any last wishes. Don't be slow to wait for the soldiers in the army. Once you have decided to do something, do it properly without leaving any mistakes. In the future, we can also show future generations how brave our ancestors of the Ming Dynasty were and how the Ming Dynasty came to be! "
…
"Why do I feel that you have actually thought about building the Mausoleum of Meritorious Service for a long time, otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up so suddenly in front of Grandpa Huang today?"
Zhu Gaochi put his hands in his pockets, looked at Zhu Yunxi beside him with a strange expression, and whispered softly.
Zhu Shangbing on the side frowned, still thinking about what made Grandpa Huang laugh like that.
After comforting the old man, Zhu Yunxi and the others left the Qianqing Palace.
Hearing Xiaopang's words, Zhu Yunxi clasped his hands and turned his neck: "It doesn't count. In fact, originally, I planned to put this matter into the triumphant victory of the Southern and Eastern Expeditions, and the return of Founding Duke and Cao Guo Gong to the capital. Proposed.
They made kings and rewarded meritorious soldiers, but what about the dead soldiers? The court will naturally provide pensions and will not treat their children and families badly, but what about them?
Being buried with Zhongshan, being a pioneer for the king during his lifetime, and guarding the imperial mausoleum after his death, it is an honor, but it is better to say that it gives my family peace of mind. "
Zhu Gaochi curled his lips.
When Brother Xi speaks now, he always chooses to say half and leave the other half.
This behavior is very bad.
"You don't believe it?" Zhu Yunxi turned his head and glanced at Xiaopang.
Zhu Gaochi nodded: "If I remember correctly, you once said the word form. It is probably... used for the purpose of ceremonial discussions and to inspire people. The same is true now when we want to build a mausoleum of meritorious deeds. It is like repeating the military merits of the Qin Dynasty. Lord, you want to make the Ming Dynasty's millions of troops serve the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly and die without regrets!"
Zhu Yunxi took a deep look at Xiaopang, and then sighed softly.
Under Zhu Gaochi's confused gaze, Zhu Yunxi shook his head.
"You shouldn't be so smart sometimes. If you say something and do it again, it will make people feel wrong."
Zhu Gaochi hummed twice: "Then don't go to the Imperial College tomorrow. Let Xie Jin go to the Imperial College to give lectures!"
"That won't work!" Zhu Yunxi immediately shook his head: "All forms are imperial power! I have to go!"
