Chapter 111 Title of King
Yingyanghou’s memorial was not long. Zhu Biaodao was aroused, so he got up and looked up the recorded materials on the bookshelf. Zhu Biao had seen it before, but he was busy with other things at that time, so he didn’t read it carefully.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao, but ignored him. He has too many official duties, and basically has no time to waste from morning till night.
Finally, Zhu Biao found what was recorded in the pro-military Duwei's Mansion. In the 22nd year of Zhengzheng, Ming Yuzhen was proclaimed emperor by Liu Zhen and others. The name of the country is Daxia, calling for the restoration of the rule of the Han Dynasty, and the Yuan Tiantong was established, with Chongqing as its capital.
Ming Yuzhen made his wife Peng the queen, and Ziming was promoted to the crown prince. The Daxia regime was established.
When the territory was at its peak, it reached Yiling in the east, Zhongqing in Yunnan in the west, Bozhou in the south, and Xingyuan in the north. It is the state religion, and copper coins are cast for circulation.
Zhu Biao looked a little frowned. To be honest, although their political situation was a bit chaotic, the people lived well, and they were far away from the wars in the Central Plains. Coupled with the geographical environment of Shu, it is indeed a treasure land.
Zhu Biao was drooling looking at it. It would be great if he could win it as soon as possible, but unfortunately the other party didn't want to surrender.
That’s right, it’s better to be a chicken head than to be a wind tail, and the Ming family is serious about founding a country and establishing a temple. Naturally, they don’t want to come to Daming to bow their heads and proclaim their vassals.
It's just that the natural dangers of the land of Shu are difficult to break, and people's hearts are easy to break. Many people in their Great Xia have already had contact with Daming in private.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt backache after dealing with the government affairs for a while, so he got up and walked to Zhu Biao, looked at him and said, "Mingxia has long been dead, and many of their officials have secretly defected. If there is a good harvest this year, next year's We sent troops to take over the land of Shu."
Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this and said: "This year, my Ming Dynasty is relatively smooth, and I think it's okay to go out for a small fight next year. I don't know who the father plans to let the army be."
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands on his hips, twisted his body slowly and said, "Tang He, let's use him as an example to cut off his throne. We must give him a chance to recover, so let him take the credit."
Zhu Biao nodded clearly. Tang He was extremely smart in this matter. Seeing that Li Shanchang couldn't keep him, he simply admitted his guilt and devoted himself to fighting Japanese pirates along the coast without any complaints.
You don’t need to think about the title of prince, but it is still possible to be a duke, and other people don’t need to worry. The title will inevitably decrease, but it will not be too low. Compared with others, nobles are more loyal to the country. After all, they are iron rice bowls, so naturally they have to find ways to maintain them.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think of something, looked at his son and said, "We plan to make your older brothers kings on the day of your wedding, so that they can enjoy your joy."
Zhu Biao nodded with a smile. It is inevitable to confer the title of the prince as king. There is no need to confer the prince on the day of his wedding. This is tantamount to consolidating his position.
Zhu Yuanzhang twisted his waist and said: "Let's give you their king title too. Tomorrow you will write it and send it directly to the Ministry of Rites."
Zhu Biao bowed and promised, this is also Zhu Yuanzhang's test of him. The title of king seems to be a trivial matter, but it also shows a person's mind. If Zhu Biao is a little bit more ruthless, he will give his younger brother the small countries of Yue, Lu, Wei, and Dai. His royal title is justified.
If Zhu Biao were granted the title of Xiaoguo, Zhu Yuanzhang would admit it in order to maintain the majesty of the eldest son.
The second is that after so many years, the older brothers have been submissive to Zhu Biao in everything, and Zhu Biao has a lot of heart, and he also has a brotherly affection for his younger brother, so naturally he doesn't want to have a gap with them just because of the mere title .
Zhu Yuanzhang took a look at his eldest son and went back to handle official duties, believing that his son would not let him down.
After the work was done, the sky darkened. After Zhu Biao sent Zhu Yuanzhang off for a while, he turned around and went back to the East Palace. Halfway through the walk, he saw a few young eunuchs guarding the roadside saluting him and then ran separately, waiting for Zhu Biao When we returned to the East Palace, meals were already prepared inside.
Zhu Biao stepped into the hall and Yun Jin held a warm handkerchief to wipe his hands: "Do you want to eat first or take a bath?"
Zhu Biao chose to take a bath, soaking his whole body in warm hot water, Da Shuang'er gently rubbed something on his hair, Zhu Biao closed his eyes and thought about today's events.
After the big and small Shuang'er waited on him for a bath, Zhu Biao went to Wenhua Hall to start writing the royal titles of his younger brothers after eating a little food.
The second child is King Zhu Jin, the third child is King Chu, and the fourth child is King Zhu Di Qi. The rest of the younger brothers are all a little young, so there is no need to rush into this canonization. Also, these three have already been on the battlefield, so they are considered military exploits. .
Qi, Jin, and Chu are both the names of one of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period. They are already extremely noble, and the remaining Song is no longer suitable for use.
After all, my son will probably be a grandson for a long time, and it will not sound good to be called by others, Zhu Biao can be regarded as a conscientious father.
Ever since he personally commanded the army, Zhu Biao has felt that Zhu Yunwen is really weak, and the big position must never be passed on to him.
If it is really possible, Zhu Biao naturally wants to choose the best one among his children, but once the eldest son inheritance system is broken, it will not have a good impact on the entire dynasty, let alone Zhu Biao is the biggest beneficiary of this system.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang started to consolidate Zhu Biao's position early was that, apart from the fact that Zhu Biao was really special in his heart, it was because he knew that the dynasty had to make a good start, otherwise it would be like the Tang Dynasty. The relationship within Li Tang's royal family has never been stable.
It can even be said that there has never been a dynasty where the internal relationship can be so chaotic. The daughter-in-law of the domineering brother, kissing his concubine, keeping a male favorite, and the daughter-in-law picking up ashes are not mentioned, and Li Longji seized power for his father Li Dan; Heng seized the power of his father Li Longji; Tang Xianzong and the **** jointly overthrew his father Tang Shunzong; Tang Muzong and the **** Chen Hongzhi jointly killed his father Tang Xianzong. Li Shimin's son Li Chengqian also reached the point of rebellion.
Of course, all these cannot be blamed on Li Shimin's head, and it is impossible to deny Tang Taizong's achievements because of this, but he did have a very bad head.
Just like the curse that Tang Gaozu Li Yuan put down: "If you kill my descendants, your descendants will do the same in the future"
