Duke Xin passed away at a very young age, and the old man was only born two years later than Duke Xin. Nowadays, people are worried about his death, and it is really easy for something to happen.

"This year is already the 28th anniversary of Hongwu."

Entering the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself in a low voice, saying in a quiet voice: "Forty-three years have passed, more than half of my life has passed, and today I know the hatred of Emperor Qin."

Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

What is the hatred of Emperor Qin?

It was difficult to live forever, and in the end he died on the east road in search of immortality.

The great Qin Empire that ended the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period fell apart in an instant, and the world was once again in chaos.

Isn't the old man also thinking about seeking immortality?

Zhu Biao felt anxious in his heart, fearing that his old man would have such ridiculous thoughts because of the news that Duke Xin had passed away.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and sneered: "Your father never thought about immortality. I can do what Emperor Qin couldn't do? If I could do it, your grandfather and the others wouldn't have died so miserably!"

Zhu Biao laughed twice, bowed and said, "Father is wise."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands dissatisfied and sat down casually, with a worried look on his brows: "Brother Tang has left, but the things behind him must be taken care of. The court cannot humiliate the heroes, nor can it chill the hearts of the heroes."

Zhu Biao sighed in a low voice: "The boss of Duke Xinguo's family left early, and the following men seemed to be in poor health. The Imperial Court ordered the Ministry of Etiquette to handle the funeral arrangements for Duke Xinguo. It's just about the title... "

"Everything is going well with the family! If one family is not at peace, how can the world be at peace?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately lowered his tone, and his eyes showed a cold light: "At this time, who dares to gossip, talk nonsense, mess up the title, and will be severely punished!"

After sweeping away the sadness of Tang He's death, the emperor's reason and dignity returned.

Zhu Biao bowed and clasped his fists: "I know that I will keep an eye on the clan's mansion and the Ministry of Rites will handle the matter of seizing the title."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, leaned back on the chair a little tiredly, squinted his eyes slightly, and whispered: "I want to explain the truth to Tang Li."

Afterwards, the old man seemed to be tired and fell asleep.

Zhu Biao's eyes flashed a few times.

Obviously, the old man has decided that the rules of succession to the title of heir to the throne must be strictly enforced.

Although Tang Li now works as an errand in the Governor's Mansion and is in charge of the troops of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, he is only a concubine of Duke Xin's Mansion.

What does Yao and Tang Li explain?

Naturally, it is the principle of distinction between direct descendants and concubines.

The title of Duke Xin will eventually fall on the legitimate sons and grandsons of the Tang family, and has nothing to do with Tang Li.

Zhu Biao found it a bit tricky.

Tang Ding, the eldest son of the Tang family, passed away early. After Hongwu pacified Yunnan in the 23rd year, he died of illness on his way back to Beijing, leaving behind a son, Tang Sheng.

It's just that Tang Sheng has always been weak and has been raised in Duke Xinguo's mansion in Fengyang City.

Is it necessary for the imperial court to arrange for Duke Xin and his family to seize the title twice in a short period of time?

Then the second son of the Tang family became the best candidate.

The second eldest son of the Tang family, Tang Fu, is now serving as the Central Guard and Governor of Taiyuan, and has four sons. No matter what, the title of Duke of Xin will fall on Tang Fu, which will ensure that the succession of the title will be orderly and will not be interrupted.

In the palace, the emperor took a rest in worry.

The prince is worried about the succession of the Duke of Ming Dynasty.

After a cup of tea.

Zhu Yunxi and others, who had already changed into clean clothes, entered the palace.

Also coming over was Tang Xie, who had changed his clothes but still had the sad look on his face.

The footsteps of the four people were very light.

But Zhu Yuanzhang still slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Tang Xie, whose face was somewhat similar to Tang He's, nodded and said, "You have the charm of Mr. Tang."

Tang Xie's face twitched twice, and he bowed and said: "Your Majesty has great love, my lord..."

"That's all." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and turned to ask: "When Duke Xin left, did he leave any last words?"

Tang Xie clasped his fists and looked refreshed: "Reporting to Your Majesty, before my father passed away, he sat up on the bed and said he would take a knife and wear armor."

"Words Pi Jia..."

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes, but sadness once again appeared in his eyes: "Ding Chen is brave!"

Zhu Yunxi, who was listening quietly on the side, also sighed greatly in his heart.

Tang He, the Duke of Xin Guo, who was lying on the bed after a long illness, was able to sit up and call for armor at the last moment of his life.

Zhu Biao said: "What happens next?"

Tang Xie recalled and said: "I and my family did not dare to disobey, so I and my brothers personally carried my father to the front hall. The servants brought the war sword that my father had been given as a marquis for the fifth year of Hongwu, and the old Zhan armor.

My mother and sisters in the family dressed my father in clothes and armor. When they finished, my father was full of vitality and blood, and the ministers seemed to have a glimpse of my father leading the army on an expedition in the past.

My father sat down on the general's chair with a sword in hand, facing north and south, looking at the sky in the distance."

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly became silent, his eyelids sank, and his expression was filled with sadness.

Zhu Biao's eyes were also flickering, and he was touched by Tang He, the Duke of Xin who wore armor and held a knife when he was dying.

"My dear husband, I am very lucky to be loyal and brave to the country!" Zhu Yunxi said loudly.

Zhu Shangbing sighed: "Young Master is a role model for our generation."

Tang Xie lamented: "Before my father passed away, a tiger roared, asking him if he was strong or not. He said that he wanted to fight for the Ming Dynasty for another forty years. The ministers responded and said that my father was strong and heroic, and he bravely passed down the three armies.

My father thought about it again, but before he finished speaking, he already..."

"Tang Dingchen is so majestic!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the handrail and shouted loudly.

Zhu Biao asked from the side: "Does Duke Xin have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Tang Xie was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "When my father was dying, he hoped to join the Yingtian Face Saint again and fight for another forty years. Apart from that, he has no last words or wishes."

"Dingchen..."

Zhu Yuanzhang moved his lips slightly and shouted softly. He couldn't help but turn his head sideways to hide the grief he showed.

Several people in the hall lamented silently.

Xin Guogong Tanghe's legacy when he died was enough to make everyone who heard it lament and feel sad.

Zhu Yunxi sighed softly, took a step forward, and raised his arms.

"Believe in the Duke of the country, be loyal to the country, act respectfully and prudently, keep secrets in military aircraft, be kind to your neighbors, and be loyal to your Majesty. These last words are so majestic! So majestic! They can be known to the world and can inspire the hearts of the world."

My grandson thought that the imperial court should build mausoleums for meritorious officials in Zhongshan, and bury them after their deaths as a sign of favor and honor, and that they should be buried in the capital to protect them in life and death.

The soldiers who died in hundreds of battles in the army are buried together in the Zhongshan Meritorious Mausoleum. They serve as generals and commanders to bless the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty and honor our emperor's kindness."
