Chapter 838 Wencheng
Emperor praised goodness, bestowed gold, silver and jade, and ordered Li Shanchang and his son to go outside Kunning Palace to thank him.
Li Shanchang was already a little tired at this time, but he still braced himself to lead his son. Under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he bowed down outside the Kunning Palace and read aloud: "I would like to present you with the letter to hear the letter, and to bow to the sage." The law of heaven and earth determines the superiority and inferiority, and the combination of yin and yang determines the high and low grades. Therefore, the establishment of religion, the establishment of governance, and the Shuyi Lun are down to the world, and the ministers are sincere and fearful. Opening a foundation and starting a business, the mother Yi Wanshi also!"
"If a minister is good at long-term participation with the imperial court, it will not be effective. I am wary all night that it is the holy grace of He not to regard the foolishness of the minister and the son as a husband and wife. The honor is beyond expectation. The auspicious day is here. I would like to order the son. At the end of the day, I will bow down and wait at the gate of Que."
Emperor and empress praise goodness, the female officer prepares the golden jue wine pot with fruit, the emperor's regular clothes, the queen swallow's house clothes, ascends to the seat and enjoys it. Princess Lin'an comes with a phoenix crown and Zhai clothes.
The next day, the son-in-law received the ceremony of sacrifice, and the Grand Master Li Shanchang and the son-in-law Li Qi paid homage to the ancestral hall. On the next day, it was a ceremony for the relatives.
The wives watched the ceremony. They went out from the east gate of the palace gate to the west gate of the palace gate, and went on the small chariot to the right gate. Princess Lin'an descended on the chariot. Li Qi, dressed in auspicious clothes, personally unveiled the curtain for the princess. Wearing gauze hats with silk flowers, square flower robes on the chest and back with gold pins on the shoulders, gold and silver peony flower belts in between, soap boots, and thirty-six female musicians.
The son-in-law first goes out from the west corner of the Meridian Gate to the place where the horse is mounted. The horse goes to the mansion first, and waits for the princess to arrive. The princess lifts the curtain and descends the sedan chair, and pays homage to the ancestral hall together.
After the worship, there will be the big wedding ceremony. In the evening, we will perform the marriage ceremony, early pay respects to the elder son-in-law, and see the uncle and aunt in the afternoon. For the next ten days, there will be rituals every day.
The ten-day party is the last ritual, the emperor’s concubine’s meeting ceremony, first worshiping the emperor, then the East Palace, after the meal is given in front of the East Palace, the East Palace sends a decree to bestow the son-in-law with a black gauze hat, a gold belt, silk robes, a pair of boots, a second saddle horse, and the concubine’s gratitude .
This is the ceremony for the emperor's daughter to marry, and it should be like this in the future.
...
In September of the ninth year of Hongwu, at Renzishuo, Lao Zhu, who had always been in good health, suddenly fell ill with high fever and polydipsia. Empress Ma personally took care of him.
After half a month, it finally got better. At this time, the king of Jin and Chu who was in the feudal land had just rushed back to Beijing. Lao Zhu was very pleased about this. After all, it took a long time for the news to reach their feudal land. It can be seen that Dai Yue rushed back without stopping. .
Zhu Biao is also happy to see what happens. After all, his father is a person who loves his sons a lot. After recovering from a serious illness, being able to see his son who has not seen him for a long time must be beneficial to his recovery.
However, in comparison, a certain newly-promoted son-in-law, and his increasingly out-of-the-ordinary old man, are a little ignorant. He has just married a princess, but he has nothing to say when he is sick.
Yushi Zhongcheng said: "The minister heard that the emperor's envoys are courteous, and the ministers are loyal to the emperor. This is the passage of the past and the present. Qin Wei, Your Majesty is ordered by heaven to destroy the heroes and rule the world, and to establish a life for the people to open the rule of peace. It will be nine years ago. .”
"Since the Yishi went to the east, he has been far-sighted, thoughtful, governing the country and controlling people out of a holy arbitrariness. As for those who violated the frost and dew and braved the cold and heat, they were determined to destroy the bandits and expand the frontier. This is all the work of the generals, and it is not the plan of the civil servants. , and the whole family in the world, rewards are determined for meritorious deeds, and Li Shanchang's position as a master is above the royal ceremony, and the honor of life is crowned with civil and military!"
"Recently, his son, Princess Qishang, was ordered to restore the camp and live on the left side of the main mansion. The sacred teachings are earnest, and the princess is ordered to be a woman and respect the elders and children in order to describe the Yilun. Your Majesty, the ancient sage king Sheng Xin agreed, is the best, good Long received the state's great favor and pretended to be a fool. Your Majesty ignored the court because of illness, and he would not greet him for ten days. Respecting the orphan and disrespecting the ancients did not happen. The son-in-law Li Qi did not go to the court for six days, and announced that he had no son-in-law in the front hall. The filial piety, this shows that the family law of the good elders is not cultivated. If you do anything like this, how can you be loyal to the king? Please pay the judge to rectify his crimes, and let the father and son of the good elders be exonerated!"
After the impeachment by the early court, there was an uproar between the government and the public. Li Shanchang and his son knelt outside the Meridian Gate to plead guilty.
Zhu Biao frowned and said: "It's my son's intention not to let the Lin'an couple enter the palace to serve the sick. There is no shortage of them in the palace to get in the way. Li Qi is not doing any court affairs now, and there is no need for an early court if there is no summons. As for Li Shanchang. Greetings, it is indeed a little wrong, but after all, he is a senior official, so it is reasonable to not cause such an uproar."
"Could it be what Hu Weiyong meant?"
"I've seen it for a long time. He doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth now. He has a virtue with Liu Bowen, for fear that we will stay in the capital and watch him under our noses, hum!"
This makes sense, Zhu Yuanzhang is going to go with the flow, remove him from the position of grand master, and then cut his salary by several thousand shi. Zhu Biao stopped him and said: "If a serious crime is not cured, there will be no law, and if a small fault is not forgiven, there will be no people." So let's say, Li Shanchang is the founding official of the country after all, why don't you follow his will, he has been overthinking for a day or two."
"What's more, the father doesn't think about his merits, but he has to think about Lin'an. It's not easy to be criticized. Not long after the princess first married, the father-in-law was dismissed from office."
"Our daughter has her own Princess Mansion built by imperial order to take care of her."
Having said that, the illness and anger subsided, especially thinking that Li Shanchang was much older than him. With old age, frailty and mental decline, it is not impossible to stay away from the waves and make faint moves. considerate.
In this way, the impeachment of Yushitai was retained, and some treasures were rewarded, the father and son of Shanchang were very grateful...
...
In the spring of the tenth year of Hongwu, the remnants of Tubo robbed Gong Ge Suonan, the Tibetan tribute envoy of Uzbekistan, and sent his head to Daming.
In April, the army vowed to go out, and after leading the troops to Gansu, they directly divided into three groups and launched a full-scale attack on Tubo. There was no strategy, and there was no main attack. After Deng Yu ensured the logistics supply, he let the army run over all the way. .
Invaded the hinterland of Tubo in one breath, chased and killed the remnants of the enemy to Kunlun Mountains, captured tens of thousands of tricks, plundered 5,000 horses, 130,000 cattle and sheep, and did not even leave Uszang a chance to swing left and right.
Seeing that King Pazhufa of Uzang was terrified, he reassembled the treasures of the tribute and sent envoys to pay tribute to Daming to show his loyalty. As for the other forces that belonged to Daming in Uzang, they all calmed down and expanded their power. Influence.
The good news was passed to Beijing, and the Holy One was overjoyed to give him a red python warm robe and a jade belt around it.
But at this time, Liu Bowen, who had been ill for more than a year, was played by his son Liu Lian, saying that he was terminally ill and feared that he would die soon.
After Liu Bowen returned to his hometown from Sichuan, he only drank, played chess, and said nothing about his merits.
After spending eight years in Hongwu safely, Zhu Biaoben thought that he would be fine just like Chang Yuchun, but he did not expect to fall ill after all. It can be seen that there was indeed something wrong with Liu Bowen's body. I remember that in the sixth year of Hongwu, The imperial physician also said after returning from his medical consultation in Sichuan that he lost his vitality due to a serious illness when he was young.
Old Zhu probably didn’t expect that this courtier, who had been disliked all his life, was really going to 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 funeral according to the Duke’s regulations.
Before the imperial doctor arrived, Liu Bowen passed away. In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang personally built a coffin for him and made a conclusion: "Sincere Hou has learned from heaven and man, and he is both civil and military. For thousands of years, in times of turmoil, control almost one side."
"Generously see me, the first Chen Yuanlue, according to the State Council, use the army first, you can say it, I can judge it and use it, and the style is restrained to this day. Everything that has been built has achieved results."
Zhu Biao added: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, he followed the kingly way, was loyal and prudent, and was a good minister."
The holy decree stopped the court for three days, posthumously presented the special Jin Guanglu doctor, the prince Taishi, and posthumously named the Duke of Chengyi.
