When everyone in Zhongdu saw that the emperor's grandson had made up his mind and no one dared to comment anymore, they surrounded Zhu Yunxi and entered the city.

Fengyang Mansion and the Left-behind Division had already deployed soldiers and horses in the city, and some people hurriedly cleared the streets to go to Xinguo Gong's Mansion.

Along the way, the common people could only watch the Emperor Taisun and his party from a distance.

This was the attention paid by the Zhongdu government office and the meritorious family of Huaiyou, and it was an act of loyalty to the royal family. Zhu Yunxi did not reject the other party's overtures.

Just looking at the meritorious people of Huaiyou who gathered around me, I couldn't help but feel a little different in my heart.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the old man rewarded meritorious officials. Except for those who died in battle and had no children, and who were just given honors, the imperial court rewarded more than 60 princes and uncles in total.

As for the Huaiyou line alone, there were six dukes and twenty-seven princes who were ordered by the imperial court to build the Gongbohou residence in Fengyang City. Nearly half of the Dukes and Counts who received awards in the early days of the Kingdom came from the Huaiyou line.

However, over the years, all the Six Gong families in Fengyang City and the Korean Gong Li Shanchang's line have been implicated.

The remaining five Dukes' families have been relatively stable in the past two years. However, the Duke of Zheng has now been renamed as the Duke of Wei, Duke of Wei, and Duke of Cao in the second generation. The Duke of Song and Duke of Wei have been leading troops outside for a long time.

As for the remaining twenty-seven princes, except for a few who died early, almost half of them were killed by the imperial court's party conspirators in the 23rd year of Hongwu, and were even implicated.

"Your Majesty remembers us and other veterans, and His Highness even came to Zhongdu in person. It is a great honor for us and our veterans to receive such great grace from the imperial court. We all came from Huaiyou with Your Majesty. Over the years, the heads of the family have grown old or died.

But the younger generation still learned martial arts.

If the imperial court wishes to do so, the younger generation of sons will naturally lead troops on expeditions for Your Majesty and the imperial court just like their fathers did. They will go into battle to kill the enemy, and they will be returned wrapped in horse leather, and we and others will have no complaints."

Mrs. Xinguo, Mrs. Hu, held Zhu Yunxi's wrist with a sad face, but spoke firmly in a tone of voice.

In Fengyang City, Mrs. Hu from Xinguo is the most qualified to say this.

Over the years, the Tang family alone has sacrificed the lives of several members of the clan for the imperial court.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu's reign, Tang Ding, the legitimate son of Duke Xin, died of illness on his way back to Beijing.

In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Tang Nai, the third son of Duke Xin, joined the army and died in the battle.

If everything proceeds according to the original history, then in the 29th year of Hongwu, the five and six sons of Duke Xin will all be sacrificed in the war against the Wukai Barbarians.

As Mrs. Xinguo spoke, the surrounding Zhongdu Huaiyou meritorious people spoke in agreement.

Whenever there is a state-owned war, Huaiyou will definitely devote all his merits and send the children of his clan into the army to serve the country.

Gao Yangzhi followed behind, silently watching the scene at this moment.

In the past few years, the imperial court has launched various innovative policies, and this year it has determined the direction of the New Deal. The reason is that the Ming Dynasty has been founded for nearly 30 years, and many of the decrees from the early period have begun to not adapt to the current situation.

In addition, there are also reasons for these Huaiyou achievements.

No matter how the court moves, as long as the loyalty and support of Huaiyou's meritorious deeds are guaranteed, there will be no major turmoil that will damage the foundation of the court.

This made Gao Yangzhi have to think of the continuous fertile fields on the Jiaozhi Road, and the heads of the households were all the meritorious families of Huaiyou in front of him.

The imperial court is very strict about Huaiyou's achievements. Many people have been convicted and sentenced to death in recent years. However, His Majesty also takes special care of the Huaiyou family. When giving rewards and employing people every year, the first thing that comes to mind is the Huaiyou family.

Veteran.

Thinking of these, Gao Yangzhi thought of the martial arts hall again.

In the past few years, Huaiyou's line of meritorious deeds seems to have sent the sons and daughters of the clan to the martial arts hall to study.

This is the confidence of the imperial court and the reason why these Huaiyou heroes firmly support the imperial family.

Living with the country cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.

Zhu Yunxi spoke softly: "My family originated from Huaiyou. In the past, Your Majesty was greatly assisted by Huaiyou's meritorious veterans. Huaiyou conquered the south and the north, and many of his sons died on the battlefield.

In the early days of the founding of the country, the world was settled. Your Majesty, in line with your past achievements, determined the meritorious status of the court. There were six dukes and twenty-seven princes in Fengyang City, which was a grand event for the court, and it was also the meritorious deeds of your majesty who were just and sincere.

Now that the new policy of the imperial court has just begun, and the army is fighting in all directions, it is the time to hire people. I, the sons of Huaiyou, should not forget the aspirations of my fathers, learn martial arts, and be familiar with military matters. Wear my father's armor, carry my father's sword, wear my father's armor, ride on my horse, and defend the country.

Peace, preserve the glory of our fathers, and rest with our country!"

Why are all Huaiyou's meritorious deeds who can still stay in Fengyang City come out of the city to greet them today?

Why did Mrs. Xinguo be the first to say those words?

Zhu Yunxi knew it well.

They want an attitude, their own attitude, the attitude of the old man.

In the past few years of Huaiyou, how many people were involved in the cases of Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang? Are all of the surviving Huaiyou meritorious deeds really innocent?

In these years, the fiefdoms granted by the imperial court were strictly restricted, and the fields under their names were returned to the common people one by one in exchange for Jiaozhi Road.

After all, the royal family was more tolerant of Huaiyou.

It’s just that people who don’t have long-term worries must have immediate worries.

Under the New Deal, every family in Huaiyou will still have worries to some extent.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Huaiyou's meritorious deeds present. He knew that his decision to leave the capital and come to Fengyang represented the old man's will in the eyes of these people.

In fact, he did represent the old man.

A slight smile appeared on Mrs. Xinguo's sad face, and she glanced at the fourth child, Tang Xie, on the other side.

Tang Xie immediately raised his hand and stepped forward: "I should never forget the emperor's kindness, be diligent in military affairs, carefully teach the children at home, and always remember to serve the country and be loyal to our emperor."

People present from the families of Wei Guogong, Founding Duke, Cao Guogong, Wei Guogong, and Song Guogong also all echoed again and expressed their loyalty.

Looking at the end of the street ahead, we are already reaching Duke Xinguo's Mansion.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly said: "There are many martial arts students in the martial arts lecture hall in the middle of the capital. They are from my place in Huaiyou. This time I have been ordered to continue to go north. If every family has sons of the right age, they can all wear armor and belts."

Knife, go north with us."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Huaiyou is a knife, a knife that must be held tightly in the hands of the Ming Dynasty royal family.

Now that the Huaiyou family has understood how to truly live together with the country, Zhu Yunxi does not mind giving them more opportunities to make this cooperation closer.

Mrs. Xinguo's face immediately showed joy.

Everyone who picked me up from home also had happy faces.

Who doesn't know that the emperor's grandson is the crown prince of the country agreed upon by his majesty and the prince?

Taisun already had the blood of Huaiyou, so he was naturally close to Huaiyou.

Whether it is the grandson’s mother’s clan or his wife’s clan, they are all from the Huaiyou lineage!

Now that I can bring all the children of school age north, this is a great contribution.

It actually made the officials of the Zhongdu Remaining Department and Fengyang Mansion look envious for a while. This kind of grace is not something ordinary people can get, and only the Huaiyou family has such qualifications and honors.

I can't envy you.

The people who stayed in the Si and Fengyang Mansion in Zhongdu felt a sense of envy.

front.

People finally arrived at Xinguo Gongfu.

Upon entering the eyes, everything is plain.

The servants of the Tang family knelt from outside to inside.

As a representative of the imperial court, Zhu Yunxi came to Zhongdu to pay homage to Xin Guogong Tang He, so he naturally had to go to the funeral to perform the ceremony.

Tang Mansion has already arranged everything.

"Your Highness, there is no need to kneel down, as this is inconsistent with etiquette."

When they arrived at the front hall of Tang Mansion, everyone stood in separate positions. Tang Xie looked at the emperor's grandson who was about to kneel down to pay homage, so he quickly moved behind him and whispered to dissuade him.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Xin Guo Gong is the founding hero of the country. He is as close to His Majesty as brothers. He is also the mother-in-law of the grandson concubine. It is only fitting that he should perform this ceremony."

I remembered that before I left Beijing, the old man called me alone and spent several hours talking to me about the past of the Huaiyou family and their current position in the court.

Without much hesitation, Zhu Yunxi performed a full set of memorial ceremonies in the most rigorous manner in front of everyone.

The ceremony is over.

Everyone in the Tang Mansion was crying, starting with Mrs. Hu from the Confucian Kingdom, who all returned the favor.

Later, all the Huaiyou families present, as well as the left-behind officials in Zhongdu, people from Fengyang Mansion, and those who accompanied him from Beijing, also came to pay homage in front of the tomb one by one.

At this point, everyone was divided into various places, accompanied by the descendants of the Tang family.

Zhu Yunxi also had the opportunity to visit Mrs. Hu of Xinguo.

He looked at the women of the Tang family around the Hu family, and said softly: "Queqing has just passed through the gate of hell this year. The matter of Duke Xin has been kept secret in the palace, just for fear that her mind will be stagnated. When the time comes,

She was injured and ill. So this time, I didn’t ask her to come back. I hope grandma will forgive me.”

Mrs. Hu hurriedly shook her head: "It is best if everything in the palace is arranged accordingly. It is also a blessing for the concubine Taisun to enter the palace and have His Highness take care of her so much. I only hope that she can support her husband and raise her children.

Virtuous and steady."

Zhu Yunxi added: "There is no need to worry about the title of Duke Xin. Duke Zheng's line has been transferred to the title of Founding Duke. Li Jinglong's line to Duke Cao has now taken the title, and Duke Wei has also taken the title. A few years ago, Uncle Ding was

If the country dies due to illness, the court will always remember it.

This time, the court has decided to build a mausoleum of meritorious service at Zhongshan Mountain in Yingtian. The coffin of Duke Xin will be sent to Zhongshan for temporary resting until the mausoleum of meritorious service is completed.

When the time comes, this title will also be passed down. According to the emperor's wishes, he must follow the line of succession. But I also heard that Brother Sheng's health is not very good? So... what should we do in the end?
