Chapter 921: Dig a hole and wait for you to jump
However, before Zhang Cai could speak out, he saw Zhu Houzhao suddenly said calmly: "Then, let's add the title of Chunqiu Duke."
It seems that it is not an exception to the title of Duke of the State with the Marquis as well as the title of Duke of the State, not to mention that it is reasonable to be granted the title of Duke of the State with Ye Chunqiu’s contribution!
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jian couldn't help but feel relieved. No matter what, although he was very sad, he was still rational.
At this time, Liu Jin, Zhang Cai and Liu Yu were a little disappointed.
Isn’t it that he is posthumously named as a king? If he is a king... there are a lot of articles to do.
The three of them had the same thoughts. Anyway, Ye Chunqiu was dead. Even if they had deep hatreds, there was nothing to worry about. Now it is not an exaggeration to praise him. If you praise him to death, you won’t lose a few kilograms of meat. All they wanted was to take advantage of Ye Chunqiu’s death to expand the results of the battle. It would be better to take the thorn in Liu Jian, the eyes of Liu Jian, in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao said lightly: "Let's posthumously confer Ye Chunqiu as Duke Zhenguo, and let him inherit his inheritance. If his posthumous son is a man, he should be promoted to Duke Zhenguo. If he is a daughter, he should be appointed as the county lord according to the laws of the prince."
“…”
Suddenly, the whole warmer became quiet.
It's really a drop of needles.
Liu Jin and Zhang Cai looked at each other, and Liu Yu's eyes were straight, but... they all showed joy at the same time, which could even be regarded as a surprise!
Duke Zhenguo is actually Duke Zhenguo!
Didn’t this just want to doze off, but I just sent a pillow?
What is Duke Zhenguo? In the past, there was no Duke Zhenguo in the Ming Dynasty. But in the Zhengde Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao changed his name to Zhu Shou and named him Duke Zhenguo. In this way, this Duke Zhenguo has a sacred nature. In other words, in the hearts of many people, Duke Zhenguo is the emperor, and the emperor is Duke Zhenguo.
Since Zhu Houzhao became Duke Zhenguo, he has not been making any more trouble. He held the seal of Duke Zhenguo everywhere and issued an order in the name of Duke Zhenguo. Although the cabinet did not recognize this seal, others had to pinch their noses and recognize it. After all, although he forced ià to change his vest, this is still the emperor. How dare you not implement the emperor's order?
So in a sense, Duke Zhenguo is even more powerful than the prince. Although it is the product of nonsense, now, the emperor's nonsense is obviously becoming more and more out of control.
Now, Zhu Houzhao wants to give this vest to Ye Chunqiu!
This means that although Ye Chunqiu is dead, the Duke of Zhenguo still needs to be hereditary. Although the Duke of Zhenwu has been wiped out, the Duke of Zhenguo is still there, and the property of the Duke of Zhenguo is still there. If the Ye family really gives birth to a man, this child, he will be the first-class Duke of the Ming Dynasty. His kindness will never be under the Duke of England and Duke of Wei. It is almost imagined that a brand new wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty will soon rise.
And this... was obviously something that the cabinet refused to accept, and the emperor had to give it to others. How could this be reasonable?
Liu Jian could not bear it anymore. He could even tolerate Ye Chunqiu's posthumous title of Prince, but this Duke of Zhenguo...
Liu Jian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I think this move is absolutely impossible. Zhu Shou, the Duke of Zhenguo, is still there..." He said tactfully, instead of directly naming the name, but reminding Zhu Houzhao that he was still there, how could he hand over the title of Duke of Zhenguo? This is like before Emperor Taizu of Hongwu ascended the throne, he was known as Duke of Wu. Because of this, Duke of Wu became a taboo in the Ming Dynasty, and no one could afford to say the three words "Duke of Wu".
Zhu Houzhao looked completely disappointed, and her eyes were swollen and said, "No, you were wrong."
He looked up at Liu Jian, then smiled bitterly, and then continued: "Zhu Shou is dead. He is dead. Since Zhu Shou is dead, then this Duke of Zhenguo will be posthumously granted the title of Chunqiu."
Yes, maybe others cannot understand, but Zhu Houzhao knew that Zhu Shou was dead. Without Ye Chunqiu, Zhu Shou would naturally not be able to live in this world. In short, everything in Zhenguo Mansion was created by Ye Chunqiu. Now Ye Chunqiu is dead. For Zhu Houzhao, does Zhu Shou still have any meaning of existence?
Ye Chunqiu always encouraged him, gave him hope, and told him that he should stick to his ideals and how to realize it. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao changed his name to Zhu Shou, so he appointed himself as Duke of Zhenguo. So with the support of Ye Chunqiu, he established Zhenguo Mansion, which led to the new army of Zhenguo, and many things attached to Zhenguo Mansion.
But now, the new army in Zhenguo will be wiped out, and Ye Chunqiu is dead. What Zhu Houzhao has lost is not just a humerus, brothers and feet, but also a lofty ideal. He imagined the map of all nations in his mind, but now, this has become empty.
Because Zhu Houzhao knew that no one in this world encouraged himself to do what he wanted to do like Ye Chunqiu. In the eyes of others, these are just the products of his absurdity and nonsense. So without Ye Chunqiu... What is the meaning of Duke Zhenguo to him?
Zhu Shou is dead...
Zhu Houzhao closed his eyes, and tears couldn't stop flowing down. His ambitions and his imperial ambitions have now become a pile of loess. So, this remaining Duke Zhenguo, can give Ye Chunqiu, at least... can be a memory, at least... When I miss Ye Chunqiu, I will still think of the ambitious Zhu Shou, who was once, at least... When one day, perhaps ten or twenty years later, when Ye Chunqiu's descendants come to pay their respects to him in the name of Duke Zhenguo, I can still vaguely think of the past, think of the life that I have had, and the ambitions that I have had.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly gritted his teeth and said decisively: "I have decided, so you don't need to persuade me."
Liu Jian wanted to speak because he still felt that it was unruly. However, at this time, Li Dongyang hurriedly grabbed him and shook his head at him frantically.
You can't refuse. At this time, the emperor must not refuse, otherwise...
Liu Jin was very happy and said with a look of sorrow, "I am so happy that Ye Chunqiu has made outstanding achievements and is arguing that he is the Duke of Zhenguo. It is natural that I believe it."
Liu Jian, who just wanted to give up, finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Please force ià to think twice."
He was still determined to make his last effort, because in his opinion, although it was a pity that Ye Chunqiu died, such a reward was too ridiculous.
