After hearing Li Dongyang's statement, Zhu Houzhao was moved and couldn't help but say: "Liaodong is in turmoil, and there are countless rebels, and many people also surrender to Yang's tyranny. Ye Aiqing was so upset. I felt very uncomfortable."

"That's right." At this moment, Wang Hua stood up.

Speaking of which, Ye Jing and him were in-laws after all. Before, he had been paying attention to Ye Chunqiu's reaction. When he saw Ye Chunqiu's eyes red, he was not willing to bear it. He knew that he should say a few words and said, "Your Majesty said very well. Governor Ye Jing has a good character. He has never made any mistakes since he entered the official career. He is a role model for all officials in the world."

Everyone is dead, what's the use of saying good things?

However, in this era, there is often a tradition that the dead are the most important. If this person dies, not to mention that those who are close to you will remember you, even if someone who is not harmonious in normal times will try his best to praise you. After all, although everyone was separated in the past, now that people are dead, what else can there be conflict?

As soon as Wang Hua said this, all the officials in the court nodded, all of whom were thinking that they had lost their good teachers and friends.

At this moment, when everyone suddenly heard a sound of wow, they looked at it in surprise, but saw an official unable to hold back and burst into tears. After a closer look, it was the new Zuodu Censor Deng Jian.

Ye Jing's parent-child Ye Chunqiu heard that his biological father was dead, but his eyes were red. Although he could still try his best to hold back his emotions, Deng Jian, who was usually the most aggressive, couldn't help crying loudly.

Deng Jian had tears in his eyes, but the people around him wanted to persuade him. Deng Jian said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of death... I should never be here... But Uncle Ye treated me very well, and I... I have received his teachings. Now the loyal and wise man has passed away, but my voice, appearance seems to be in front of me, I..."

As he said that, Deng Jian was already crying.

Deng Jian has always been straightforward. He and Ye Chunqiu have a close relationship with each other and spend every holiday at the Ye family. Ye Jing was still in the capital and communicated a lot. Now when he heard this bad news, he naturally felt extremely heartbroken.

When Ye Chunqiu saw him crying, his heart felt like he was being pressed heavily by a big rock. He turned his eyes aside, only to fear that he had been suppressing his emotions that had been trying hard to suppress.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Deng Jian and was immediately infected by this emotion. For some reason, he felt sad in his heart. He sucked his nose and said, "What the court needs is such a pillar. Now that he has been executed, how can he be rewarded?"

All the officials couldn't help but be silent. However, Li Dongyang seemed to have a long time ago and walked out slowly and said, "Governor Ye had made great achievements during his lifetime. His son Ye Chunqiu was even more of the minister of the Ming Dynasty. Now Ye Jing is in power, his loyalty and wise men are no less than Su Wu's shepherds. The country's dynasty is based on loyalty and filial piety. If you do not follow the priority, how can you educate the world? The old minister secretly thinks, why do you posthumously grant Ye Jing the prince and order people to pick up his bones and bury him with the rituals of the king. I wonder what Your Majesty wants?"

Posthumously named Prince?

There are examples to follow this.

For example, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Deng Yu, Mu Ying and others were posthumously awarded Kaiping, Qiyang, Dongou, and Qianning Kings. Later, in the Jingnan battle, Zhu Neng, Zhu Yong, Zhang Yu, and Zhang Fu were posthumously awarded the title of Prince.

Li Dongyang's move was too beautiful. He did not allow Ye Chunqiu to be crowned king in the name of the royal family. This time he encountered an opportunity, so he simply asked his father to posthumously be crowned as a prince. With this preparation, he could lay enough preparation for Ye Chunqiu to become a vassal king.

I have to say that Li Dongyang can seize any chance, which shows how deep his scheming is.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao felt a little relieved. This posthumous award was too heavy. Among the people who were posthumously awarded the title of king of the Ming Dynasty, each of them had outstanding military achievements. Although Ye Jing was also a loyal and martyr, it was really not worth mentioning compared to the founding of the country and the Jingnan. However, Zhu Houzhao felt that Li Dongyang's words were deeply attracted by his heart, so he nodded without thinking.

In fact, his mind is very simple, so he can also give Ye Chunqiu some comfort.

However, when he looked up at Ye Chunqiu, his heart became sad again, because Ye Chunqiu's face did not ease because of this news. Even though Ye Chunqiu tried hard to suppress it, it still made people feel the deep sorrow in him.

In fact, Ye Chunqiu's mood was as heart-wrenching as he was not only moved by Li Dongyang's "big gift", but even he was a little disgusted for no reason.

Li Dongyang captured the opportunity so hard, essentially because he was calm. At any time, the chief minister of the cabinet was full of calculations. Everything that happened around him could become his means to achieve his goal.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao said, "Ye Aiqing, what do you think?"

Ye Chunqiu suddenly realized it. After Zhu Houzhao called him several times in a row, Ye Chunqiu reacted, walked to the hall, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness."

What else can I say? At this time, Ye Chunqiu felt that his mouth became dull. Even the eight words he just said seemed to have exhausted all his energy.

Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart, but Li Dongyang said: "Duke Zhenguo, your father deserves this kind of favor, and the Ye family's father and son should have such a generous gift."

Although Li Dongyang tried his best to show his sadness, he even sighed before, as heavy as Ye Chunqiu's mood.

But Ye Chunqiu instantly understood what Li Dongyang meant. He told himself that he owed him another favor.

Ye Chunqiu didn't know if it was because of this father's death that he felt extremely sad, so he became particularly sensitive and cynical, but he didn't feel grateful in his heart. He just nodded mechanically and speechlessly.

Zhu Houzhao said again: "I think what Master Li said is very reasonable. It is reasonable to reward merits and do things. I wonder what the families of you think?"

This is the usual inquiry. In essence, this is the proposal of the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, and obviously the palace also expressed great support, so basically, it is impossible for anyone to object.

Although this is a bit unreasonable, because in Ye Jing's life, this gift is indeed too heavy. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a posthumous gift to Ye Jing on the surface, but in fact it is to treat the Duke of Zhenguo with preferential treatment. Otherwise, how could an ordinary governor have such generous treatment?

It would be fine if Your Majesty insisted on doing his own thing, but it was the spoken by the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, which made most of those who felt it was unreasonable chose to keep silent.
