One thousand seven hundred fifty-eight chapters: a very personable minister
Zhu Houzhao naturally did not intend to wait for everyone's reaction. When he was in a good mood, he continued excitedly: "I won't let you discuss this time, and I don't plan to delay. I will reward you here. Duke Zhenguo and the deputy general of Mobei Ye Chunqiu, who has fulfilled his loyal duties and conquered the desert countries for me and spread the grace of my Ming Dynasty. He was originally a royal family and should be named King Ye Chunqiu. I will entrust you to be King Lu! Okay, let's King Lu!"
King Lu...
Speaking of this, every title in the court has profound meaning.
First of all, since Lu is used as the title, then... this is the prince.
Your Majesty is like directly conferring Ye Chunqiu as Prince.
In the past, Ye Chunqiu's status was already transcendent, but this prince was the real minister! You should know that even foreign vassals, such as Korea and King Annan, according to etiquette, would be just a prince.
In other words, the Zhenyuan Kingdom has a higher specification than the ordinary feudal states and is far above the ordinary vassal states.
However, this is second.
Because the Ming Dynasty already had the King of Lu, but now His Majesty has named Ye Chunqiu the King of Lu, wouldn’t this be a conflict?
Of course, the biggest possibility is that the original King of Lu changed the title. After all, this is just a matter of procedures. In this situation, the general rules obviously cannot stop His Majesty's "willful and unrestrained efforts".
Your Majesty knew that there was King Lu, but he still wanted to grant Ye Chunqiu the King of Lu. Of course, it was impossible for him to be full, because there were not many princes after all, and there were only a few that were missing. Your Majesty could not have no impression.
So... what does Your Majesty mean?
The so-called Lu first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty.
The Zhou Dynasty divided the feudals into great numbers. There was once a state of Lu, the king of Lu. Which line did it come from?
From Duke Zhou.
This...it's all clear.
King Wu of Zhou died early, and his son was still young, and he was the King of Cheng. At that time, Duke Zhou assisted King Cheng of Zhou with all his heart and soul and regent the country. After pacifying the Three Prison Rebellion, he even carried out feudalism, built Chengzhou, made rituals and music, and returned to Zhengcheng to King after King Cheng became an adult, which played a key role in consolidating and developing the rule of the Zhou Dynasty.
It can even be said that without Duke Zhou, there would be no Zhou Dynasty's country for hundreds of years.
The fief of Duke Zhou was in Lu.
At that time, the State of Lu had the most noble status, and was even more favorable than other Zhou royal families.
For a long time, the Zhou Dynasty regarded the State of Lu as the Dinghai Scientific Needle that supported the eastern territory of the Zhou Dynasty.
Your Majesty...is it because of this?
The vassal state, whose status as Lu King was higher than that of ordinary people, formally determined Ye Chunqiu's status in the northern border?
Representing the Emperor, killing and killing outside the pass?
Thinking of this, Wang Hua, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt a little complicated at this moment.
I don’t know whether your Majesty’s kindness is good or bad.
Jiang Mian and others were also shocked.
Jiang Mian reacted quickly and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that everything should not be too far."
"What?" Zhu Houzhao was in a very high mood now. Looking at Jiang Mian, she couldn't help but say, "Shouldn't such a reward be rewarded? Why did anyone interfere with anything I did?"
Jiang Mian hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Duke of Zhenguo has already become the most important minister. If he enfeoffed the title of King Lu again, the old minister thinks that this may not be a good thing, and the old minister is also for..."
"Is it for the country? So we must check and balance Ye Chunqiu, right?" Zhu Houzhao asked decisively, and his face naturally became very cold.
In fact, many of the officials began to get anxious.
They were always on guard against Ye Chunqiu. Who knew that the more he was, Ye Chunqiu became more and more powerful. At this time, everyone had already made Qin Hui and wanted to "frame" Yue Fei. If they objected in unison, they would be suspected of being jealous of virtuous people.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao sneered: "If anyone among you can make me a Khan of Heaven, I will never be stingy with rewards. You are always afraid of this and that. I ask you, Ye Chunqiu will not be the King of Lu, and Ye Chunqiu will not guard me outside the pass, so who can go? No one can! Leaving him, how long can I defend outside the pass? Emperor Taizu and Emperor Wen, have not swept across the desert? Haven't you obtained the territory of the desert? Haven't you ever enfeoffed officials
Is it? As a result, can these lands be defended? The imperial court cannot defend the land outside the pass, so why can't Ye Chunqiu let Ye Chunqiu try it? I want to let him be the King of Lu, and let the Lu Kingdom I enfeoffed for generations to guard the pass outside the pass, use the laws outside the pass, and use the laws of ancestors inside the pass. My determination is made. Here, I have not seen Cao Cao, I have only seen Duke Zhou. If you mistakenly regard Duke Zhou as Cao Cao, you will have no eyes."
Everyone was silent, but Jiang Mian felt the most headache. He was already thinking in his heart that if this was the case, the scholars outside would not know what they were like.
Well, the more your Majesty is, the more you are, Ye Chunqiu, the scholars in the world will never agree.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mian's eyes swept towards Ye Chunqiu, with a warning in his eyes, as if saying, if you are tactful, please refuse quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble.
Ye Chunqiu saw his gaze, but looked away, as if nothing had happened.
The more others block him, the more lazy he becomes to be modest.
He knew that this would make people want to take advantage of the problem. Even this time, these people dare not talk too much, but next time, they will definitely take the opportunity to attack again.
It is too difficult to block someone’s mouth.
But... Ye Chunqiu didn't care, even... the deeper his eyes became. In the depths of this bottomless eyes, Ye Chunqiu only pursed his lips because he remembered his decision...
Cut the weeds and remove the roots!
Having reached this point today, Ye Chunqiu can no longer look back. If he turns back, he will be doomed.
The public opinion gathered by some people has now become a sharp blade and may kill Ye Chunqiu at any time.
But Ye Chunqiu didn't want to die.
Then...you go and die.
Ye Chunqiu smiled, but was still waiting in his heart.
Because he knew that the real killer move was just the beginning now.
He just saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Brother, thank your Majesty for your grace."
This is clear enough. I, Ye Chunqiu, want this prince.
What can you do?
Many civil and military officials in the court became anxious and eager to try, wanting to do something feasible, while some people looked at Ye Chunqiu hatefully.
Many people put their hopes on scholars who are facing foreign affairs. At this point, only scholars can give Ye Chunqiu a little color.
