The motorcade pulled the red coffin, invited the best team in the capital, and under the banner of the Chengguo Duke's Palace, entered the capital from Desheng Gate all the way.
Let the soldiers at the city gate open their eyes to the people in the city.
Why are you holding the coffin and playing wedding music?
In this way, the coffin-pulling team of Duke Chengguo walked through the streets with the attention and laughter of the people. However, the tunnel of Zhu Yi's tomb was still intact, because his tomb had been built and it was a place designated by the imperial court. A lot of people's power and money were spent. If it was even, it would be too wasteful. Before the Lantern Festival, Zhan Yang from the Ministry of Rites came to Zhu Yi personally and asked if there were any taboos in this regard.
Zhu Yi exploded after hearing what Zhan Yang said. No one is taboo about this kind of thing, but you scholars are afraid of it.
Although Zhu Yi was constantly criticizing in his heart, he really didn't care on his face. He pretended to be generous and said: "Since ancient times, no one has died. If you die early, you will die late. Now that everything is built, don't build it up, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future."
Zhu Yi's statement also allowed the tombs belonging to him to be perfectly preserved.
Of course, his son Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu was very happy. He showed unconcealable joy in front of Zhan Yang, and he also imitated the tone of the little adult and said: "My father is a man who came back from the dead, Zhan Shilang We can arrange a guard as much as possible. After the Lantern Festival, my father will lead people to open my father's tomb and take out the coffin. Don't worry, Mr. Zhan, we will find better craftsmen at our own expense and will not damage the tomb."
Zhan Yang glanced at Zhu Yi, and then said with a smile: "Although Duke Cheng is young, he is so sharp-tongued. There is someone to succeed the Duke of Guo."
Zhu Yi watched Zhan Yang smile at herself, and he could only reply with an awkward smile.
But Zhu Fu on the side began to say: "Shilang Zhan, I have something I want to ask about."
"Hey, Duke Cheng Guo, please say..."
"For this great joyous event of opening the grave, taking out the coffin, and resurrecting the dead, can I, the Duke of Chengguo, invite a troupe to sing in the mansion for a few days?"
Zhan Yang looked at Zhu Fu, then at Zhu Yi who looked indifferent, nodded and said: "Of course, such a happy event should be celebrated."
"As for the cart that pulls the coffin, can I, Duke Chengguo, use a big red cart and a big red ox to pull the cart?" Zhu Fu continued.
"Yeah, it's okay..."
"Can you put a happy word on the coffin? Put it on the top, put it on the bottom, put it on the back, and put it on the front for him."
"Isn't it a little weird?"
"This is a great event, how can I be surprised?"
Zhan Yang glanced at Zhu Yi, who was already livid, and then at Zhu Fu, also showing an ugly smile.
Then, with Zhu Fu's expectation, the day finally came for the grave to be opened.
On the day of the grave opening, I didn't sleep too much. I got up early, even earlier than Zhu Yi left to see his father.
And behind this festive procession, followed the main leader Zhu Yi.
However, he did not follow the team directly back to Chengguo Duke's Mansion, but went to find a small courtyard.
The people sent by Pu Ning'er have arrived in the capital.
Tomorrow, in the ninth year of Chenghua, Cao Jixiang's squadron that lost contact with the large fleet heading east and surrounded the city will enter the capital.
There is his own mistress Charlotte in this team, and Zhu Yi has to find a small courtyard for her to live alone...
In the Xu Mansion.
Xu Youzhen sat upright and drank tea calmly.
But his good gay friend, Zhan Yang, who was familiar with Spring and Autumn Period, was restless.
"King Han, how could this be? I have taught him for two years. How could he do such a thing? How could I face His Majesty..."
Xu Youzhen listened to Zhan Yang's complaints, sighed and said, "It's just a young man's temperament. His Majesty will not offend you."
"Oh, if it weren't for the solid evidence, I really wouldn't believe it..." Zhan Yang said softly.
After Xu Youzhen heard this, he immediately lost his composure and placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table.
"Shilang Zhan, be careful what you say..."
When Zhan Yang saw Xu Youzhen angry, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and then he just sighed heavily and said nothing.
Looking at the depressed Zhan Yang, Xu Youzhen still felt a little soft-hearted. He said slowly: "Shilang Zhan, you are too simple to judge people. Emperor Taizong Wen once made a Han king, but His Majesty violated the etiquette. Another Han king was granted the title. Although the previous Han king was deposed due to rebellion, this is still unreasonable. Haven't you been thought of too much?"
After Zhan Yang heard this, he looked at Xu Youzhen and asked blankly: "Yes, I was very surprised at first. After the title was banned, I went to His Majesty to confirm that it was correct."
"That's because the King of Han was not enfeoffed in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, but in the new land of Korea."
"What?"
"You all think that King Xiang moved the vassal state because he was punished for being involved in politics, but you don't know that His Majesty wants King Xiang to sit in North Korea and wait for other princes to grow up and turn North Korea into a land divided among the kings. .”
Except for the king of Xiang and the king of Han, Zhu Jianshen only told Yu Qian about this matter, while Li Xian learned about it from Yu Qian's mouth.
As for Xu Youzhen, he had never heard of it, but he noticed it with his sensitive sense of smell.
Annan mobilized troops, absorbed North Korea, and managed the Liaodong Pass. All these signs indicate that His Majesty the Emperor wants to loosen the bonds of future generations of kings. He does not want them to become free-loading princes, and wants them to guard the new land for the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Xu Youzhen and Li Xian have the same attitude towards the harm that this kind of loosening of ties may cause. A vassal prince who goes outside can cross thousands of miles to fight all the way to the capital. This requires a knowledgeable monarch...
"Censor of Xudu, what you mean is, Seoul. His Majesty asked the King of Han to go to Seoul, so he gave him a royal title that was not in line with the etiquette system."
Xu Youzhen nodded. biquge.biz
During the great battle in Fengtian Palace, Zhan Yang helped Xu Youzhen without hesitation, which made Xu Youzhen always remember the friendship, otherwise he would not share such things that he realized on his own.
After listening to Xu Youzhen's words, Zhan Yang also reacted. He thought for a while and then said: "Then the King of Han knew about this matter, so he did this. He did not want to go to North Korea and would rather carry a The unworthy name may be another way to tell His Majesty my wishes."
Xu Youzhen said slowly: "You have been to Seoul. As a country of Korea, its management for hundreds of years is no less than that of the prefectures in the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty allowed the King of Han to go because he valued it. But in the eyes of the King of Han, Your Majesty is Not allowed to him."
Zhan Yang nodded: "Now that the King of Han is in prison, he may still be complacent. His plan has succeeded."
"Hmph, what kind of person is Your Majesty, how could you indulge him? The King of Han of Korea must go, but according to my guess, he has no chance to live in Seoul. Seoul has more than 200,000 people. Eight Koreans The General Soldier's Office and the Governor's Office are both located in Seoul. It would be the safest to go there, but he is too smart..." Xu Youzhen said softly.
Xu Youzhen is very confident in his guess. He has been with His Majesty the Emperor for a long time and has a clear understanding of his character. In some aspects, he may know him better than Zhu Jianshen...
The necessary elements for a proper courtier are like Zhao Gao in the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Rang in the Han Dynasty, Tong Guan in the Song Dynasty, and Wang Zhen in the Ming Dynasty……
"Shilang Zhan, are you here to see me just because of the King of Han's affairs?" Xu Youzhen looked at the silent Zhan Yang and asked.
Zhan Yang also reacted after hearing Xu Youzhen's words.
"I almost forgot, Xu Du Yushi, this is a book sent to me by my classmate who is an official in Ningbo. Please take a look and write your own..." With that, Zhan Yang took something out of his arms. He took out a book and handed it to Xu Youzhen.
After Xu Youzhen heard this, she burst out laughing: "It seems that I have a good reputation in Jiangnan. Someone has written a book for me and handed it down..."
With that said, Xu Youzhen took the book, and then looked at the cover. The smile on his face gradually dissipated...
On the blue cover of the book, a few big words suddenly appeared: The story of a prodigal woman who was chaste but not chaste...
"This, this is written for me."
"You will know after you take a look... I heard that this book has sold like crazy in Jiangnan. Everything in the book points to you, the censor of Xudu, and it has become, has become..."
"What happened?"
"Oh, it's an insult to elegance, it's an insult to elegance, I'm ashamed to say it, you'll know just by looking at it..."
